Jesus gave his charge: "Go out and train everyone you meet, far and near, in this way of life, marking them by baptism in the threefold name: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." Matthew 28: 18-19

"So love the Lord God with all your passion and prayer and intelligence and energy." And here is the second: "Love others as well as you love yourself." There is no other commandment that ranks with these. Mark 12:30-31

Oh, God, here I am, your servant, your faithful servant: set me free for your service! I'll complete what I promised God I'd do, and I'll do it in company with his people. Psalm 166: 16-18
