Beginner

Over the last few years, I have found myself exposed to ideas that are new to me. These ideas are good and I find my self gravitating toward them. The problem is I also find myself struggling. Not struggling with whether these ideas are right or wrong, but more whether they are right for me. If they are right for me how do I come to that conclusion and once I do how do I defend my position. Since these ideas may appear rather radical to some people. How do you go from at one time accepting one life style, worship and thinking, and go to another. I hope that as I learn and work my way through these ideas, I will be able share what I have been learning. It will be a long journey, but a rewarding one. For I am hoping to learn what it really means to Love God with my whole heart, Soul, and mind. I will be studying on how this will permeate my entire life. What does it mean to be devoted to God. How will Loving God with my Whole heart, soul and mind effect what I listen to, what I watch, how I think, or what I read and etc. More and more I am seeing the importance of not only thinking the correct way about God but the need to feel the right way also. I realize more and more that I do not think and feel the right way about God, I do not Love God like I should. I let things distract me and other times I outright choose that which displaces God.

Deut. 6:4-5 "Hear O Israel: The Lord our God the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul and with all your might." This is my goal in life, but more then that it is the command given to me and you.
