The general idea:
Matthew 22: 37-40, | |
37. | Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with - all - thy heart, and with - all - thy soul, and with - all - thy mind. |
38. | This is the first and great commandment. |
39. | And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. |
40. | On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. |

Psalm 91:1 (Ampl.) | |
1. | He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty. |

2. | A larger bowl or small bucket full of something soft and easy to pour like sand, or rice. |
3. | Something to represent the Devil, it must have length, width and thickness like a small doll or even and drawing on a thick piece of cardboard. |

Object Lesson: |
Have you ever wondered why you have a hard time keeping your mind under control. It seems to wonder over to sin even when you are trying to be Godly and follow God's Word with the fullness of your heart. It all comes from not having every corner of your heart and mind centered on and filler with God. The Word says that Christ was the only perfect person. He was fully centered on and led by the Father. It is an area where all of us have to continually grow. |
