0:00.0	Welcome to the Daily Blade. The Word of God is described as the sword of the spirit, the primary spiritual weapon in the Christian's armor against the forces of evil. Your hosts are Joby Martin and Kyle Thompson, and they stand ready to equip men for the fight. Let's sharpen up.
0:20.4	All right, guys, we have made it all the way here to element 10 of a godly man, but before we get
0:24.5	there, let's just talk about what we've hit over the last couple of weeks.
0:27.8	Element one of a godly man, a godly man has surrendered his life to Christ.
0:31.6	Element two, a godly man is selfless.
0:34.0	Element three, a godly man strives for holiness.

0:44.3	Element 7, a godly man protects his mind. Element 8, a godly man is humble. And element 9,
0:49.4	a godly man does not rely on his own strength alone. So here we are the last element,
0:53.7	element 10 of a godly man.
0:55.4	A godly man loves God and his neighbor. Let's go ride into the scripture today. Let's go to the
1:00.1	gospel of Mark chapter 12, starting in verse 28. And one of the scribes came up and heard them

1:11.3	important of all? Jesus answered, the most important is, hear O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one,
1:17.9	and you shall love the Lord your God with all of your heart and with all of your soul, and with all of your
1:22.0	mind, and with all of your strength. The second is this. You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
1:47.0	There is no other commandment greater than these. And the scribe said to him, you are right, teacher. You have truly said that he is one and there is no other besides him. And to love him with all the heart and with all the understanding, with all the strength, and to love one's neighbor as oneself is much more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
1:50.4	And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, he said to him,
1:52.7	you are not far from the kingdom of God.
1:55.8	And after that, no one dared to ask him any more questions.
2:00.0	I'll just say at the very end there, I laugh out loud every single time I read that.
