INCREASING YOUR
LOVE FOR GOD
from a Born to Win program
by Ronald L. Dart
My wife and I were driving,
listening to a message that her sister
had given to us. The speaker was an
educator—a Ph.D in sociology at
a major university—who spoke at
a community church. He was very
good—a remarkably effective and
engaging speaker. He was talking
about love based on Matthew 22:34–
40: “When the Pharisees had heard
that Jesus had put the Sadducees to
silence, they were gathered together.
Then one of them, which was a
lawyer, asking him a question, tested
him saying, ‘Master, which is the great
commandment in the law?’ Jesus
answered, ‘You shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, with
all your soul, and all your mind. This
is the first and great commandment.
The second is like it. You shall love
your neighbor as yourself. On these
two commandments hang all the law
and the prophets.’” The speaker had
some very moving illustrations of
people loving one another. It slowly
dawned on me as I listened to him
that the entire emphasis of his sermon
2) Christian Educational Ministries • December 2023
was the second great commandment,
and he omitted almost all reference to
the first great commandment. And I
realized I had heard far more in my
lifetime about loving my neighbor as
myself than I had ever heard about
the first great commandment in the
law: “You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart, with all your
soul, and with all your mind.” Now,
when you begin to think about it, the
second commandment (that is, loving
your neighbor as yourself) doesn’t
really mean much if there is not the
love for God. How can a person ever
come around to the kind of love for a
neighbor that ought to be there if the
love for God has never gotten there in
the first place?
I have often spoken about how the
two great commandments relate to
the Ten Commandments—“You shall
love the Lord your God with all your
heart” applies to the first four. “You
shall love your neighbor as yourself ”
is summarized in the last six.
The word “love” is key, I think,
probably because it is used in so
many different ways in our language.
The word here is agape (agápē) in
the Greek. You’ve probably heard
people expounding the word agape
as a higher level of love than just
affection. You may have assumed
that agape is sort of like a godly
love—that agape love is a love at a
higher level. Actually, it’s not. In fact,
the very first phrase in the lexicon
defining agape means “to prefer
above others”. It actually means “to
set a preference for”. And you run
into a certain problem with it if you
try to adopt this idea that agape is
a spiritual love, love at a higher
level, or it’s a God-plane love, when
you run into scriptures like John
3:19, which says, “they have loved
darkness rather than light because
their deeds are evil”. The word
“loved” in this phrase is agape. So
they had agape for darkness rather
than light because their deeds were
evil. So someone whose deeds are
evil can have agape. He has agape
for evil—for darkness rather than
light. So agape, then, is not really a
spiritual love. It is, in the simplest of
terms, to prefer one above another,
to make this preference for. And
it is a very high-level love. It is a
conscious love. It is a deliberate love.
It is a love that involves making a
decision. Because one would have
to assume, would we not, that if
the first great commandment of the
law is that you shall love the Lord
your God with all your heart, your
soul, your mind, your strength, this
essentially means that—with your
innermost being, with your very
life, with your mind, and with your
strength—you will place God above
all others.
It is taking it out to the limit, right
out to the wall—no equivocation, no
hesitation, no backing off—that you
must prefer God above all others, or
you can’t be his disciple.

 You can’t serve God and anything
else. He is a jealous God. Now let’s
look at 1 John 2:15—just a few little
references here to underline this first
commandment once again to us and
make us realize what it means: “Love not
the world. Neither the things that are in
the world. If any man loves the world,
the love of the Father is not in him.”
This is agape. Don’t love the world—
don’t prefer the world or the things
that are in the world. You can’t prefer
God above all things and prefer the
world above all things. For you will
love the one and hate the other. Or you
will hold on to the one and despise the
other. It’s just as simple as that.
Continuing, he says, “If any man
loved the world, the love of the Father
is not in him. For all that is in the
world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of
the eyes, the pride of possessions, is
not of the Father, but is of the world.
And the world passes away, and the
lust thereof. But he that does the will
of God lasts forever.” You see, whatever
you prefer above God is a god.
Now let’s turn to the Ten
Commandments in Exodus 20. Verse
3: “You shall have no other gods
before me”—commandment one.

Verse 4: “You shall not make unto
you any graven image or any likeness
of anything that is in the heaven
above, or that is in the earth beneath,
or that is in the water under the earth.
You shall not bow down yourselves to
them. You shall not serve them. I, the
Lord your God, am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the Fathers
upon the children to the third and
fourth generation of them that hate
me”—commandment two. Verse 7:
“You shall not take the name of the
Lord your God in vain, for the Lord
will not hold him guiltless that taketh
his name in vain.” These first three
commandments are negative—they
are prohibitions of things that we
should not do.
Now, as we come to the fourth
commandment, we are told to do
something. Exodus 20, verse 8:
“Remember the sabbath day to keep
it holy.” He has given us a command
to keep the Sabbath holy. The word
“holy” means “apart”, “separate”. He
basically calls upon us to keep the
Sabbath apart. In addition to that,
and as an explanation of that, he says
that six days shall you labor and get
all your work done.
“The seventh day is the Sabbath of
the Lord your God: in it you shall
not do any work, neither you, nor
your son, your daughter, your man
servant, your maid servant, your
cattle, nor your stranger that is within
your gates. For in six days the Lord
made heaven and earth, and the
sea and everything in them, and he
rested the seventh day. Therefore the
Lord blessed the seventh day, and
hallowed it.” God sets apart a day and
calls it “Sabbath”. And the Hebrew
word means simply “to rest” or “to
cease from work”. It is a day when
we are to rest. This commandment
is probably the best of all possible
places to start loving God, because it
is something that you can decide to
do very quickly.
Later, in Exodus 31:13, “The Lord
spoke to Moses saying, ‘Speak to the
children of Israel saying, “Verily, my
sabbath you shall keep. It is a sign
between you and me throughout your
generations, so that you will know that
I am Jehovah that does sanctify you.”
There is a more to the Sabbath day than
merely abstinence and rest. It is a point
of identity. People may think you’re
Jewish (or at least following Jewish
customs) if you keep the Sabbath day.
But of course, the Sabbath is far older
than Judah or Judaism. The fourth
commandment
A
tells us that the
Sabbath dates all
the way back to
nd the first great
creation, and is
a memorial of
commandment
creation. God is
basically saying, is the one upon which
“You keep the
Sabbath because everything depends.
I worked six days
and rested. You work six days and rest,
and you identify yourself with me.”
Now he goes on to say, “I want you
to do this so that everyone will know
that I am Jehovah, that sanctifies [or
sets you apart] as a holy people. You
shall keep the sabbath therefore, for it
is holy to you. Everyone that defiles
it shall surely be put to death. For
anyone that does any work therein,
that soul shall be cut off from among
his people.”
These are strenuous instructions to
Moses and Israel about the physical
administration of the Sabbath in
their time. Now, the idea of it being
a sign isn’t just for their time, but
these administrative things are theirs
to do, not yours and mine. “Six
days may work be done, but in the
seventh is the sabbath of rest, holy to
the Lord. Whoever does any work
in the sabbath day shall surely be
put to death. Therefore the children
of Israel shall keep the sabbath, to
observe the sabbath throughout
their generations for a perpetual
covenant. It is a sign between me and
the children of Israel forever. For in
six days the Lord made the heaven
and earth. And on the seventh day
he rested, and was refreshed.”
These things are powerful
statements, but one of the most
powerful is found not here, but all
the way back in the Book of Isaiah.
Oddly enough, it’s found in the
middle of a bunch of prophecies that
I think almost any of us would look
at and understand point toward the
last days. In Isaiah 58, toward the end
of it, we come to a statement about the
Sabbath which I think may help us
more than anything else to understand
why it is that in keeping the first great
commandment—you shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul,
and with all your
mind—the Sabbath
day is perhaps the
very best of all
possible places to
make a start.
Verse 13: “If
you turn away
your foot from
the sabbath,
from doing your pleasure on my holy
day; and call the sabbath a delight…”
Now we’re once again at the mercy of
language. And if you look at this, he
says that on the one hand you’re not
supposed to have “your pleasure” on
the Sabbath, but you’re supposed to call
it “a delight”. Well, delight and pleasure
are close to being synonyms. And what
he means from doing “your pleasure” is
basically doing your own thing, doing
your thing on the Sabbath day. God
wants you to turn away from that and
do his thing on the Sabbath day, if you
will. “Turn away your foot…” That's
an interesting expression. He wants us
to refrain from stomping all over his
Sabbath day, from doing your pleasure
or doing as you please on his Sabbath.
And if you will “call the Sabbath
a delight, the holy of the Lord and
honorable, and shall honor him…”
You see, the actual fact of Sabbath
observance is an act of honoring God.
That’s what we do when we come to
the end of the work week, when the
sun goes down and we say, “This is
the Sabbath of the Lord, my God.
It is a holy day that is holy to him.”
We actually honor him, not the day.
The day itself wouldn’t mean much.
The fact that we rest from our work
wouldn’t mean much. The fact that
we just don’t do this, and don’t do
that, and don’t do the other thing (or
sleep all day) doesn’t mean much.
But the fact that we come to a day that
he has hallowed, that he has set apart,

 God’s
’s
Unconditional
Love
by Blake Silverstein
Perhaps love, in its purest form,
is the complete acceptance of
someone just as they are. This
distinction is vital: acceptance is
not synonymous with approval. It is
in this nuanced understanding that
we may perceive how God accepts
us. Though He may not endorse
every choice, attitude, or action we
undertake, His love seems potent
enough to allow us the liberty to
carve our own paths, for better or
worse.
This concept does not negate
the desire for a life well-lived, as
encouraged in Deuteronomy 30:19–
20. Yet, it emphasizes God’s respect
for our free will, even when our
choices diverge from His way. As a
parent cringes watching their child
struggle through the twists and turns
of life’s complex maze, I imagine
God too feels the agony over our
less-than-ideal decisions. Though
the parental instinct to shield their
precious children is overwhelming,
God restrains, allowing us to freely
chart our own course.
But what about divine intervention?
If God momentarily “took the reins”
to correct our trajectory, would
this demonstrate love? Perhaps
sometimes. We would need to
6) Christian Educational Ministries • December 2023
contemplate if people are genuinely
bettered by such intervention, or if
it just temporarily alleviated their
responsibility. This question has
many facets worth exploring.
Let’s examine the account of Jonah,
where we witness the delicate balance
between intervention and free will.
God directly calls Jonah to Nineveh,
but Jonah refuses. Rather than
force compliance, God permits his
venture in the opposite direction. I
believe this restraint originates from
loving respect. Later, as Jonah finds
himself in the belly of a fish, divine
intervention plays a pivotal role
in redirecting his journey. In both
instances, God skillfully balances
the honoring of Jonah’s free will
with timely interventions, spurred
by love, to both foster growth and
purpose and fulfill His plan.
God’s involvement in our lives
appears to oscillate, much like a
dance. The prevailing factor in
this intricate movement seems to
be love—a consideration of what
allows each person to thrive. It’s a
challenging notion, but one worth
contemplating: how often do we,
mirroring Jonah, attempt to evade
life’s arduous paths? These daunting
routes often become crucibles for
our development into resilient
leaders and empathetic individuals.
The parable of the Prodigal Son
(Luke 15:11–32) presents a striking
example of love manifesting as
acceptance. Imagine if the narrative
had unfolded differently, with
the father harboring resentment
towards his son’s abrupt departure.
The essence of the story would have
been fundamentally altered. This
account, alongside the narrative of
the woman caught in adultery—
“Neither do I condemn you, go and
sin no more” (John 8:10)—and the
endearing account of Zacchaeus
(Luke 19), all illustrate unconditional
love and acceptance, coupled with a
desire for positive growth. In these
stories, resentments are conspicuously
absent, replaced by a profound sense
of understanding and forgiveness with
an invitation to come back to Him.
This perspective leaves us grappling
with more questions than answers,
often leading to discomfort. Yet,
could the converse also hold true? Is
complete acceptance of God and His
will not the highest form of love we
can exhibit towards Him? John 14:15
tells us if we love Him, we will obey
(accept) Him. Consider Jesus in the
Garden of Gethsemane, expressing,
“Father, if it is Your will, take this
cup away from Me; nevertheless
not My will, but Yours, be done.”
This moment epitomizes adoration,
acceptance, and reverence in its
purest form.
Our relationship with the Almighty
is not merely transactional; it is
a covenant encompassing every
facet of our existence. There are
no exceptions within this sacred
bond. We are faced with a choice:
to embrace God wholly or not at
all. This includes accepting His
plans for our lives and those around
us, without reservations. Such a
commitment might seem daunting
and require sacrifice, yet it is the
essence of a faith-driven life.
In embracing this covenant, we must
remember that it is not just about
adherence to a set of directives,
but about embodying a way
of life that mirrors His love and
acceptance. This covenant calls for
a heart open to transformation, akin
to the Prodigal Son who returned
home not just physically, but also
spiritually. It’s about recognizing that
while our paths may veer from God’s
ideal, He is always there calling us
back home, wait to celebrate our
return. In the stories of Jonah, the
Prodigal Son, the woman caught in
adultery, and Zacchaeus, a consistent
pattern emerges: a loving God,
patient and unwavering, waiting for
His children to return or to evolve,
never imposing His will, yet always
prepared to guide and embrace.
Understanding and accepting God’s
love as both active and passive
challenges us to trust in a path that
may not always have divine guardrails
and requires us to be more diligent
in our obedience. The essence of our
relationship with the Father and the
Son is grounded in this acceptance—
accepting that God’s love is steadfast
and unchanging, and that His plans,
though enigmatic at times, are
always geared towards our ultimate
benefit.
Our journey of faith is akin to a
dance with the Divine, where love
and acceptance set the rhythm for
our steps. It’s a dance that requires
us to relinquish our fears and
prejudices, to embrace the fullness
of God’s love—a love that accepts us
entirely, challenges us to grow, and
transforms us into embodiments of
His grace and mercy. In this dance,
we find the truest expression of
love—both in our acceptance of God
and His eternal acceptance of us.
Thus, in contemplating love as
acceptance, we not only delve into
the depths of divine love but also
discover the essence of our own
spiritual journey—a journey marked
by continual growth, profound
acceptance, and an unwavering
commitment to the path laid out by
a loving, guiding hand.

that he has given us the command to
keep and to honor means something.
In doing so, we honor him. If you will
“honor him, not doing your own ways,
or finding your own pleasure, nor
speaking your own words, you shall
delight yourself in the Lord. And I will
cause you to ride upon the high places
of the earth and feed you with the
heritage of Jacob your father. For the
mouth of Jehovah has spoken it”, and it
will be so. The whole idea of this matter
is a place to start to love God. Because
love has to do not merely with the
way you feel, not with emotions and
feelings; it has a lot to do, though, with
the things that you do. The honoring of
God on the Sabbath is something that
you can do.
Would you like to love God more
than you do? Do you think you love
God enough? Well, how would you
go about loving God more? The
Sabbath is a good place to start. For
example, how about knowing when
the Sabbath starts and knowing
when it ends? I am looking ahead to
the Sabbath, expecting the Sabbath,
anticipating the Sabbath. What I
would like to do is to know when
the Sabbath begins, so that when the
Sabbath begins, I will have finished
my work. I will have prepared for
the Sabbath. I will be ready to honor
God. And as the Sabbath begins, I
can plan for it (and that’s the idea of
the “preparation day” we read about
in the Gospels). If I know when the
Sabbath Day begins, then I can begin
the Sabbath. But the truth is, I think
it’s important for us to consciously
begin the Sabbath—to know when
the Sabbath begins and begin it, start
it. How would you go about doing
that? Well, when you think about it,
it’s not that difficult. You can read a
scripture, sing a hymn, say a prayer,
or perhaps (even do as some Jewish
families do) light a candle.
The fact that the sun is going down,
darkness is coming on, and I now need
to light my candle for illumination,
causes me to think about God and
know that the Sabbath has begun. I
begin the Sabbath, of course, then I

keep the Sabbath. What if you have an
emergency? God says you can take care
of an emergency. If you have an ox in the
ditch, you can go get it out [Luke 14:5,
Matt 12:11]. If you have an emergency,
take care of it, and then return to
the Sabbath. The Sabbath is a day of
honoring God. I’ve heard people say,
“Well, I wish I had more time to study.”
Fine, do it on the Sabbath. “Well, I can’t
seem to find time to meditate.” Fine, do
it on the Sabbath. Time to think, time to
read, time to meditate—God gave you a
whole day for it. What do you mean that
you don’t have time to study? Because the
Sabbath is a day to keep holy to God and
to honor him. And while it is important
to assemble together, and it’s important
to stay in touch with our brothers and
sisters, it’s far more important to stay in
touch with the Father and to honor him
on his days.
Teach your children the importance
of taking time for rest, for reflection;
because children are like a ball of
energy. They are just going all the
time, or maybe they stay up too late
at night. They don’t take the time to
rest. And then there’s this activity
and that activity. Teach your children
growing up that there is a time for
quiet, there is a time to rest, there is
a time to digest all the things that
have happened to you over the past
six days and to think them through.
Teach your children the Bible. There’s
no better day to do that than to teach
them on the Sabbath.
And then along towards the end
of the day, end the Sabbath. If you’re
going to begin it, why not end it?
And if you know when the Sabbath
is over, end it. Some Jewish people
have a custom they call “saying
goodbye” to the Sabbath. In fact, it’s
like the Sabbath is my old friend and
I welcome him when he comes, and
I say goodbye to him with sorrow
when he goes. It’s a kind of reluctance
to let it go. But there comes a point in
time when the Sabbath is over, and
it’s a time to go back to work, and to
once again seek your own ways and
to do your own thing, and the things
that God allows you to do. Don’t just
let the Sabbath slip away—don’t just

 Around the World
Australia
Hello from “down under”—the land of koalas, kangaroos, and platypus.
Located in the southern hemisphere is the land a Portuguese navigator
named “The South Land of the Holy Spirit.” For indeed, now, the gospel has
reached the ends of the earth, in as so much that I live near Perth in Western
Australia, known as the world’s most isolated capital city.
I am sure those first century disciples had little idea of what the “ends of
the earth” looked like. But after 250 years of European settlement, founded
on Judeo-Christocentric values, today the emergent culture is increasingly
secular.
It is amidst this worldly climate that the Sabbatarian, Christ-centered
faith community lives and works. This doesn’t mean that the church isn’t seen
in Australia; quite the contrary. Apart from the mostly abandoned, aging
church building throughout the countryside, the Christian community
generally is still appreciated for its charitable work, schools, hospitals,
aged care, services for the poor and disenfranchised. In recent decades the
church’s profile has been tarnished with protracted and very public royal
commissions into systematic child abuse, both in the indigenous and welfare
communities. This has not helped the gospel message.
The Churches of God, however diverse, are active and consist of very
committed members. The work of ministry and outreach continues, as
does nurturing and discipleship. There are numerous Feast of Tabernacles
sites people can choose to visit. For example, the Can you fit in "Christian
Educational Services Australia (CESA) festival this year (hosted in
Caloundra, Queensland) brought together brothers and sisters in Christ
from across a diverse group of fellowships. This ecumenical sense of a new
covenant Body of Christ without borders is emerging I believe because of
the inherent Christian values so under threat in Australia essentially from
the secularist agenda, including the LGBTQ-rainbow flag, anti-Christian
policies legislated through parliament, and a leftist media intent on vilifying
established order.
I currently pastor three churches across Australia, and this involves
considerable travel. We recognize the pressing need to raise more Godly men
into servant leadership—men who have a clear Christ calling; a reputable
history; are well equipped in sound doctrine; and are willing to sacrifice,
serve, and love the brethren. To that end I believe we are making progress.
Apart from weekly Sabbath worship services, our churches proclaim the
gospel of Jesus Christ through a variety of means, including the publication
of The Edifier magazine, regular livestreamed worship services, some 900+
video sermons hosted on the Messageweek website, interactive Bible studies,
and occasional market gospel stalls giving away free Bibles.
May God’s good work continue here in the land “down under”, moving
“mountains”, opening the eyes of the “blind”, and raising a new generation
of Spirit-formed, Christ-centered disciples.

let it pass without noticing. Honor
God in the beginning, in the keeping,
and in the ending of the Sabbath day.
It is a part of coming to love him by
doing these things which he has told
you, commanded you, instructed
you to do.
Now, in conclusion we’ll go
to Mark’s version of this great
commandment of the law (Mark
12), and we’ll finish with an analysis
of just what it is that he says here.
Beginning in verse 28, “One of the
scribes came, and having heard them
reasoning together and perceiving
that he had answered them well,
asked him and said, ‘Which is the
first commandment of all?’ And
Jesus answered him and said, ‘The
first of all the commandments is
“Hear, O Israel. The Lord our God
is one Lord. And you shall love the
Lord your God with all your heart,
with all your soul, with all your
mind, and with all your strength.”
[Love God with everything you have.]
This is the first commandment, and
the second is like it: “You shall love
your neighbor as yourself.” There
is no other commandment that is
greater than these.’ The scribe said,
‘Well, Master, you have said the
truth. For there is one God, and there
is no other but he. And to love him
with all your heart and with all the
understanding, and with all the life,
and with all of the strength, and to
love his neighbor as himself, that is
more than all whole burnt offerings
and sacrifices.’” He understood
clearly what Jesus was saying. This is
far greater and far more important
than any other. “And Jesus saw that
he answered discreetly, and said
to him, ‘You are not far from the
kingdom of God.’” How far do you
want to be? But to love God with all
your heart, and all your mind, and
all your strength, all your life, and to
love your neighbor as yourself, are
two great commandments. And the
first great commandment is the one
upon which everything depends.

Trivia questions in the 2024 newsletters.
