Dear Mom,
Mother’s Day is just around the corner so I was thinking about you. I started thinking, I love you but why? So I began pondering over the course of my life and the things that you have done. There are so many things that I can point to. For example, now that I have my own children I realize what you did before I can even remember, the countless nights awake feeding me and cleaning up from my various messes. And then I was able to walk and run, you were always there tending to my wounds and watching out for the dangers that I didn’t even know existed. Next I went off to school, everyday making me a lunch, giving me what I needed to grow physically. Every night reading to me from the “Keys for Kids” book and the Bible, giving me what I needed to grow Spiritually. You would pray for me, that I would love Jesus. And then came puberty, oh the dreaded and never forgotten years of puberty. What I wouldn’t give to erase that from my brain. Yet you were there, loving me with an endless and unconditional love that I had no understanding of. Thank you, Mom. Read the rest of this entry →

Here is the lesson from May 2nd, 2010. He discussed how our view of God also effects our view of love and justice. Without the cross we cannot fully understanding these two concepts. The greatest love that we have ever seen is at the cross, God becoming a man and dying the death we should have died. Also at the cross we see perfect justice, Jesus worthy to be our substitute, taking on our sin, and then that sin being fully paid for. Here is the link to the lesson.
