“Every self exists in relation to values perceived as making life worth living. A value is anything good in the created order- any idea, relation, object or person in which one has an interest, from which one derives significance… These values compete… In time one is prone to choose a center of value by which other values are judged. When a finite value has been elevated to centrality and imagined as a final source of meaning, then one has chosen…a god… One has a god when a finite value is… viewed as that without which one cannot receive life joyfully.”
"You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might." Deuteronomy 6:5
