I have been 'terribly' busy the last few days, and have not been able to blog. But I want the world to know I am part of a the MOST LOVING church in the world. Last weekend they threw a baby shower for me and my wife.
A baby shower from a church for the Pastor and wife may not be unusual ... that is, a shower for the Pastor and wife's baby. But this shower was not on behalf of a new addition to the church family. THIS shower was for a grandchild being born some 650 miles away from the church community. Our congregation may never have the opportunity to see the baby, but they know how important this FIRST grandchild will be for their Pastor and his wife. So they loved ...
I am fully aware that in most cases the costs of gifts given did not come from wealth and big bank accounts. THIS kind of expression is indicative of Biblical love. It is a love that gives for the good and well-being of others. So they love ...
Yes, THIS kind of love is like that of God. God is 'just' and God is 'love'. These characteristics are unlike terms - but two sides of the same coin. So Ultimate Justice says, "all have sinned" and the "wages of sin is death" (Romans 6:23). Ultimate Love then loves SO MUCH that He "gave His only son" that we may find forgiveness by believing in him (John 3:16). We are then simply given a choice to 'believe' - or not. So God loves ...
I am HAPPY to be part of a church family that loves like God.
