Hi and welcome. Ashfield Baptist Church is a "caring community church sharing God's love". We are very diverse in our nationalities, backgrounds and ages, but united in our desire to grow spiritually and to reach out and help others. Our vision is "to be a body of Christ-like people living out the great commandment and the great commission in the Holy Spirit's power". This blog is mainly for people connected with Ashfield Baptist Church. It has been set up as an "info & chat space" as we start the "THRU IN 2" challenge. This is our program for reading the Bible right through during 2007 & 2008. Many are using the Every Day With Jesus Bible which also has daily devotions from Selwyn Hughes. As we read through the Bible together over these two years, we can use this blog to share insights, stories, reflections, questions etc. The goal is to grow spiritually together. So leave your comments. Together we can help each other grow. Blessings. Ps John.

The lawyers question (Mt 22:36) was a tricky legal one -- "Which commandment in the law is the greatest?" Matthew says he was out to test Jesus (though in Mark's account in Mk 12 he comes across as more genuine). He may well have been expecting Jesus to pick one of the 10 Commandments and then he could have debated his selection with him. We'll be coming to the 10 Commandments in our Exodus reading in about a week. When we do, read them with Jesus' brilliant answer in mind. He summed up the whole Law by saying "Love the LORD your God..." (quoting Deut 6:5) and "Love your neighbour as yourself" (quoting Lev 19:18). The perfect answer! And an overwhelmingly important one. That's why it's part of our VISION STATEMENT -- "To be a body of Christ-like people living out the Great Commandment....." But as a relative newcomer to our Church honestly asked the other week: "How do you love God?" A good question, eh!
