Host Lois Matson examines our culture of self love and its opposite, selflessness. Self love, self care, and self respect are considered good things, but their commonality is self, rather than the other. The two tables of the Law are love to God and love to our neighbor. We need no command to love ourselves, as this comes naturally to us. Our curve (incurvatus in se) is inward, toward our own interests. Jesus our Savior turned outward, toward us, and gave His life for us and our salvation.

Host Lois Matson talks about returning shopping carts to their corral and picking up trash. In John 15, Jesus tells us that He is the Vine, we are the branches and when we abide in Him we will bear much fruit. In Colossians 3, the apostle Paul tells us that everything we do should be for the glory of God. How do these two Scriptures tie together? And what does the slogan "Just Do It" have to do with it, anyway?
