Last week I heard a talk about “soul care.” In this talk I heard the idea of considering what I will refer to as the four quadrants of the human… They are put forth as Jesus restates the Shema in answer to the question on which commandment is the greatest…
Mark 12.29 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. 30 And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ 31 The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Ok, so…
Heart
Soul
Mind
Strength
What I’m thinking about is this: what are the questions that probe us to honestly seek to understand the condition of our heart, soul, mind and strength?
