Whenever Christianity strays from Jesus’ law in regard to the love of God, neighbor, and self, we end up in trouble. This law is the litmus test through which all things must be judged, including our own religious words and actions. It is the guiding principal of our moral code, including how we use our wealth and property to serve the human family. Not that the loving thing to do is not, sometimes, also the hardest and toughest decision, it is just that our morality is not about laws and rules and social control; it is the ability to learn from two thousand years of experience in trying to live out Christ’s love in the world….
