I Aim to Open What's Closed: the World's Hearts and Minds

I don't know where to begin with examples where our hearts and minds are closed.  Let's begin with

 disobedience which began with Adam and Eve and is continuing to this day.  God has removed

himself from the human race because he can't reside around darkness.  Since this is evident, where's

our actions of light?  Actions of light consist of considering others better than yourselves.  Some

people rape other people because their hearts are closed.  Other actions of light are mowing people's

lawns, house sitting when people are out of town.  The news is constantly consisting of hatred. 

Hatred we show to ourselves from not keeping God's commandments, which are towards our

protection.  Deuteronomy 5:7-21.  You shall have no other gods before me.  You shall not make for

yourselves an idol in the form of anything in heaven above or in the earth beneath or in the waters

below.  You shall not bow down to them or worship them, for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous

God, punishing the children for the sins of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who

hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my

commandments.  You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God, for the Lord will not hold

anyone guiltless who misuses his name.  Observe the Sabbath day by keeping it holy, as the Lord

your God commanded you.  Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is a

Sabbath to the Lord your God.  On it, you shall not do any work, neither you nor your son or

daughter, nor your manservant nor maidservant, nor your ox, your donkey, or any of your animals,

nor the aliens within your gates, so that your manservant and maidservant may rest as you do. 

Remember that you were slaves in Egypt and that the Lord your God brought you out of there with a

mighty hand and an outstretched arm.  Therefore, the Lord your God has commanded you to

remember the Sabbath.  Honor your father and mother as the Lord your God has commanded you, so

that you may live long and that it may go well with you in the land the Lord is giving you.  You shall

not murder.  You shall not commit adultery.  You shall not steal.  You shall not give false testimony

against your neighbor.  You shall not covet your neighbor's wife.  You shall not set your desire on

your neighbor's house or land, his donkey, ox, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.  I aim to

open what's closed: the world's hearts and minds.  If I've touched at least one person's heart with my

literature, I've touched the world, because that one person will share the inspiration with another and

another until the whole world is engulfed with God's word.  God's word is what I use to open what's

closed, which is powerful and effective, is useful for teaching, correcting, rebuking, and training in

righteousness.
