They’re looking for men who run toward the sound of gunfire. Not because they’re stupid. Not because they don’t understand danger. Because they’ve calculated the cost and decided that some things are worth dying for.

And there — nailed between heaven and earth — the two commandments meet. Love for God. Love for neighbor. The cross is both. Jesus loves the Father perfectly by submitting to His will. And He loves you perfectly by taking your place. On that wood, the Law and the Prophets hang — literally — on Him.

You see, that’s what the incarnation means — God doesn’t just tell you to love; He becomes love for you. He doesn’t just preach mercy; He bleeds it. He doesn’t just hang commandments on you; He hangs on the cross for you.

That’s what silences them. The one they’re testing is the one who gave the Law. The one they’re trying to trap is the one who came to fulfill it. And that’s the gospel hidden inside the question: the Lawgiver Himself has come to love the loveless. The Lord Himself has come to be your neighbor.

The Pharisees don’t want that. They want a religion they can control, a righteousness they can measure, a God who plays by their rules. But love isn’t like that. Love breaks your rules. Love takes your control and nails it to a tree. Love dies — for you, and for the very people you wish it wouldn’t.

That’s why Jesus puts the two commandments together. You can’t separate them. You can’t say, “I love God,” and despise your neighbor. You can’t worship in the sanctuary and gossip in the parking lot. You can’t kneel at the altar and hate the person standing next to you. Because the love of God always takes flesh — always reaches outward — always looks like the cross.

Although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men unexcusable; yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of his will, which is necessary unto salvation.

links, the UX has the potential to be much better. The reason for this has to do with how people use which devices, and where a client or signer application is most likely to be run. This requires making some assumptions, but in my mind the most common scenario is that a user will want to host their signer on their phone, since that is the device that is most universally available for authorizations (apart from an always-online hosted signer on the open internet). In other words, users generally have their phones with them when they're using their computer, but often don't have a desktop available when using their phone. This idea is validated by (for example) the prevalence of SMS-based 2FA, which assumes the presence of a phone.

I believe it was always the intention that money would be the mechanism by which we could walk the line between love and violence, the line between good and evil. Money allowed for the scaling of economic production beyond Dunbar’s number without the destruction of war. In this way, I do not believe that money is the root of all evil; however, if it were not for the presence of evil in all humans, the invention of money would not have been required.
