LOVE GOD

​In the preface to his book, The Pleasures of God, John Piper writes: 
 
"There never has been an era when too many people thought too deeply about God or knew Him too well.  It is impossible to know God too well.  He is the most important person who exists. And this is because He made all others, and any importance they have is owing to Him.  Any strength or intelligence or skill or beauty they have comes from Him.  On every scale of excellence, He is infinitely greater than the best person you ever knew or ever heard of."
 
Because it is impossible to know God too well and because He is the most important Person who ever existed, we would do well to make Him the focus of our attention and the object of our affections. Our love relationship with God through Jesus Christ is THE most important relationship on earth. Everything else stands or falls on this truth. Jesus said it this way in Matthew 22,
 
“‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the great and foremost commandment. 39 The second is like it, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets.”
 
If Jesus called this the first and greatest commandment, we believe it should be first and greatest for us at Mountain View.
​  

We believe that God's call on Mountain View Baptist Church to be a biblically centered church that Loves God, Links Together, and Labors Well. ​
