But the wisdom
that comes from
heaven is first of
all pure; then
peace-loving,
considerate,
submissive, full
of mercy and
good fruit,
impartial and
sincere.

man will leave his
father and mother
and be united to his
wife, and the two will
become one flesh.”32
This is a profound
mystery—but I am
talking about Christ
and the church. 33 However, each one of you also
must love his wife as he loves himself, and the
wife must respect her husband.

purified yourselves
by obeying the truth
so that you have
sincere love for each
other, love one
another deeply, from
the heart.
1 Peter 1:22
These are the commands, decrees and laws
the LORD your God directed me to teach you
to observe in the land that you are crossing the
Jordan to possess, 2 so that you, your children
and their children after them may fear the
LORD your God as long as you live by keeping
all his decrees and commands that I give you,
and so that you may enjoy long life. 3 Hear,
Israel, and be careful to obey so that it may go
well with you and that you may increase
greatly in a land flowing with milk and honey,
just as the LORD, the God of your ancestors,
promised you. - Deuteronomy 6
Mindset
• Know that the foundation you
establish will outlast you.
• Embrace doing it God’s way, you
will be happier.
• Be careful to obey, it’s the path of
lasting blessing.
4 Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD
is one. 5 Love the LORD your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your
strength. 6 These commandments that I give
you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress
them on your children. Talk about them when
you sit at home and when you walk along the
road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind
them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the
doorframes of your houses and on your gates.
Deuteronomy 6
Setting the Foundation
• All-out, deep, rock-solid loyal
love for God
• Love that permeates to the heart
• Everything we do gets built upon
this foundation
Take Away Lessons
• Don’t worry about the curb appeal
• Deal with foundational issues – deep,
secure faith
• Address the structural integrity
concerns – what are we building?
