CLP Talk No. 5 Loving God

Bro. Rommel Musa delivered the talk no. 5 of CLP which is about "Loving God". In this talk we realized that God wants us to make loving Him our highest ideal. Thus God made it into a commandment of the highest priority. We are to love God with all our heart, with our entire mind and with all our strength. Sis. Lenny Musa shared her experience about giving God all our resources‑‑time, money, energy, gifts, abilities, possessions. In conclusion Bro. Rommel mentioned that Jesus is our model in loving God.
