Your concern is that Church members are not fulfilling the Second Commandment. My concern is that Church members are not putting the First Commandment first.

Thanks for this new look at the cross and an excellent reminder of the horizontal obligation.

If a Latter-day Saint can't seek with all their heart to love their enemies and those with which they don't agree they should not be allowed to hold a temple recommend no matter how much tithing they pay, how many meetings they attend or scriptures they study. If you don't love unconditionally you can't learn in the Temple.

So true, and so many of us have gotten so caught up in the political climate of fear mongering and hate which are tools of the adversary.So much need to be hopeful, find joy and peace in these tumultuous times, and see the beauty and godliness in everyone around us, especially those that are different than us, less fortunate and in great need of receiving love, acceptance and kindness. We can do better. Let the light of Christ shine in you and through you - and the world will be a better place, Zion for all, not just some.
