    2. Commandments about God

    There is one thing for sure that we know about God: he wants you to pay attention to him.

    And he not only wants your attention, he demands it. You must love him, worship him, trust him, fear him, obey him, serve him, exalt him, magnify him, glorify him, bless him, praise him, follow him, seek him, thank him, ask him, taste him, look at him, listen to him, get close to him, submit to him, work for him, wait for him, call upon him, walk with him, cleave to him, yield to him, return to him, and sing to him. All at the same time. (He'd also like you to build him a house and give him some presents -- including perfume.)

    There are a total of 97 commandments about God in 320 passages.

    The God of the Bible doesn't call himself "Jealous" for nothing.
