I’ve been kindof racking my brain lately about what we’re gonna “do” in our small group. I mean… what is the point, right? Yes, i’m pumped about getting to know everyone, but what is THE point?
I think Jesus probably has the best answer. In Matthew ch. 22 and John 13:35 he basically says, “this is what its all about – LOVE GOD…. then love each other… that is how you will make me known to the world” (Adam’s special translation from the Greek).
I wonder if the “Love God” part is necessary for the “love others” part. I think so…
As you ponder about how much you love your spouse on Valentine’s Day, I challenge you to think about where you are at with the “Love God” part. Are you continually growing in your love for God? Are you in a period where you don’t really feel much love at all? These are some questions that I think we need to begin to think about as we begin our small group. Any thoughts?
Soooooooooo… You’re pondering how much you love me today? Good job honey! Love you too.. I think it’s funny that you and I are the ones on this site. Bye!
OK, did you really post that at 4:20 a.m. Adam??? We are glad you are taking this leadership thing so seriously but please don’t forget to sleep. Your wife might not let you keep it up if you keep up the insane hours:)
I have to admit I think it’s hard for me to think/prioritize my love for God being even bigger than my love for Matt and Lincoln. I even remember my mom used to say she loved God first, and then Dad and us kids, and then asking her why she didn’t love me first???
When I think about the times I have really grown in my relationship/love for God, it has def. been the times where I have been more commited to spending quality time with Him daily. I am thinking about all the time I make for my family compared to the time I spend with Him….it seems like I am working really hard on one and not the other. Yeah I know it isn’t realistic to think that I can like leave my 5 month old baby for a few hours a day to do devos, so I am still working on praying throughout the day, rather then spending my 15 minutes at night/day and the tuning Him out through the rest. OK, I am starting to get bleary eyed and rambly (is that a word?)
BYE!
Ok,never mind, the time is off I guess. It is 12:20 a.m., I did not post that thing at 6:15 a.m.
