As I prayed that God would speak through me before I began to write this I also prayed that you would be able to see past my flaws as a writer, overlooking them and in turn seeing the true message that I am trying to convey and encourage. The Bible is very clear about our purpose of being on this earth; when Christ was asked “What are the most important commandments of all?” he inevitably came up with the same message woven throughout the Bible: Love God and Love People.

This is what we are told to do and this is what so many desire to do. The opportunity still lies in the carrying out of this message.

We will speak beyond just words, as our actions will radiate our beliefs. Through building relationships with Christian churches, schools, clubs, book stores, bands, clothing lines, and other businesses, groups or organizations it is the desire and intent of ‘Love God Love People’ to unite these bodies of Christ’s water, and then like a wave, to push forward together in a movement keyed in on doing two things:
