Loving God with all our mind means that

Summary

we engage in intellectual pursuits that deepen our understanding of God and His ways. It involves using our critical thinking and rational abilities to seek out and contemplate spiritual truths. Loving God with our minds requires an active and intentional effort to seek knowledge, study scripture, and discern the nature of God. It is not enough to simply have an emotional or passive belief; we are called to actively engage with our intellect and continually grow in our understanding of God's wisdom and character.

You, me, him, everything. Some great big test to see if what you've built all works properly, eh? You start thinking: it *can't* be a great cosmic game of chess, it *has* to be just very complicated Solitaire.

So in your discussions of the nuclear freeze proposals, I urge you to beware the temptation of pride -- the temptation blithely to declare yourselves above it all and label both sides equally at fault, to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of an evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.
