MOTL Message: In addition to being the name of this website, “The Message of the Lighthouse” is a term that reminds Chaplain Ann of the values expressed within the Two Commandments of Jesus, as well as a commitment to be of encouragement to others in the Body of Christ. Read more.

Matthew 22:36-40, King James Version (KJV)

36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

38 This is the first and great commandment.

39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.

MOTL Slogan: Ann has a simple “saying” that reflects the goal of all those who aspire to “Become The Church,” thereby bringing God’s love with us everywhere we go:

“When we walk in mercy & by grace, His Love is with us everyplace.” Watch.

MOTL & BTC World Outreach: Analytics show that visitors to this website represent dozens of countries and likely, countless denominations or non-denominations within the Body of Christ. It is wonderful to know that we are joining so many in the Body of Christ who are reading the “Becoming The Church, Guided Study Experience” and who share a commitment to support one another along the way to learning what it means to live by the Two Commandments of Jesus, “To Love God and Love Others.” With this purpose in mind, many have joined Chaplain Ann’s BTC support groups on Facebook.

Learning to walk in Mercy as we hold to Grace

Loving God, Loving Others

“Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.” Matthew 22:36-40 (KJV)

Got a church? If you have a home-church, MOTL Online Library can serve to bring you and your fellowship partners additional options for prayer, communion, meditation, bible-study, & music, all of which can be added to whatever is already being offered by your group. Contact Us with questions.

Don’t have a church? If you do not have a church home, MOTL welcomes you, especially knowing that “The Church” is being built by the Spirit of God (within those who follow Its leading). Therefore in reaching for the goal of “Becoming The Church,” you can set up your own personal study plan or share MOTL resources with a few friends by forming your own support group.
