As\u00a0 God\u2019s people support and encourage each other, we\u00a0 will see reasons to praise God for what He is doing in the church. However, many churches today are little more than collections of people because they never get to know each other and support each other during trials. We are often so wrapped up in our daily activities that we don\u2019t take time to get out and explore God\u2019s creation. Too often we are so engulfed in the material world that we see little of God around us. Unless we go to the park or the countryside, we see little of God\u2019s creation. Unless we walk with Him and experience His presence, we have little concept of His glory and see little reason to praise Him. We need to take time to get away and experience the quiet and majesty of His creation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If We Love God Jesus said the greatest commandment is \u201cYou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.
