“Before the Christian Church goes into eclipse anywhere there must first be a corrupting of her simple basic theology. She simply gets a wrong answer to the question, ‘What is God like?’ And goes on from there. Though she may continue to cling to a sound nominal creed, her practical working creed has become false. The masses of her adherents come to believe that God is different from what He actually is; and that is heresy of the most insidious and deadly kind” AW Tozer, The Knowledge of the Holy

“God has infinite attention to spare for each one of us. He does not deal with us in the mass. You are as much alone with him as if you were the only being He has ever created.” CS Lewis

Matthew 22:34-40

Leviticus 19:17-18

C. The Invitation is for all of us
