When asked what was the greatest commandment, Jesus answered: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. And the second commandment is just like it: Love your neighbor as yourself."
Love God, love others. This the actionable principle behind Tommy Tenney's Chasing God, Serving Man. He talks about how there are certain people who have a tendency to lean towards one side or the other and this is OK, but both need to be present and complimentary in each of our lives and churches. All of this is good and true.
The problem is, the illustration that runs through the entire book is that Bethany was Jesus favorite place in the whole world when he was on earth because Mary served his divinity while Martha served his humanity. Really? The way he tries to bend, warp, and twist every single scripture and concept in his book around this very questionable premise got very tiresome. Tommy Tenney is a great author. His God Chasers has greatly blessed and influenced my life. This book... it was a waste of time.
