“For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find. For the good that I will to do, I do not do; but the evil I will not to do, that I practice. Now if I do what I will not to do, it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells in me” (Romans 7:18-20) Read more here.

Flaxseed: Heart Healthy Food This shiny, honey-colored seed has three elements that are great for your heart: they are fiber, phytochemicals called lignans, and ALA, an omega-3 fatty acid found in plants. The body converts ALA to the more powerful omega-3s, EPA and DHA. In addition to the important omega-3 fatty acid ALA, flaxseed , not the oil, also contains a group of chemicals called lignans that may help protect the body from cancer. Lignans are phytoestrogens; plant compounds that act like the hormone estrogen. Flax seeds contain high amounts of mucilage and pectin, which give the plant emollient and laxative properties as well as mineral salts and fats with a high biological value (essential unsaturated fatty acids) Studies show that flaxseed may play a role in the prevention and treatment of the following health conditions: High cholesterol, Heart disease, Menopausal symptoms, Breast cancer, Colon cancer, Prostate cancer, Diabetes, Chronic constipation, Gastritis, duodenitis, and gastro-duodenal ulcer.

Love for Enemies “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.’ But I say to you, love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you, that you may be sons of your Father in heaven; for He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward have you? Do not even the tax collectors do the same? 47 And if you greet your brethren only, what do you do more than others? Do not even the tax collectors do so? Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect.” (Matthew 5:43-48 NKJV) “But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Most High. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil.” (Luke 6:35) Matthew 5:43-48 Full Chapter NKJV – New King James...
The Scribes: Which Is the First Commandment of All? Then one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?” Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” So the scribe said to Him, “Well said, Teacher. You have spoken the truth, for there is one God, and there is no other but He. And to love Him with all the heart, with all the understanding, with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love one’s neighbor as oneself, is more than all the whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.” Now when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, He said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” But after that no one dared question Him. ( Mark 12:28-34) “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength.” (Deuteronomy 6: 4-5) The second great commandment found in Leviticus and Mark. Love your neighbor as yourself. (Leviticus 19:18) and (Mark 12:31) “You shall not take vengeance, nor bear any grudge against the children of your people, but you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the Lord.” (Leviticus 19:18) And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”(Mark 12:31) Deuteroonomy 6 : Entire Chapter Mark 12 Entire Chapter Leviticus 19 Entire Chapter ...
