A time to start

I decided that I could be a theological blogger as well (who ever said that girls could not be theological). I will try my hardest not to be overwhelmingly girly.
This weekend was full and wonderful. Jordan's parents and my parents came up for the weekend to meet and spend some time with us. I was pondering today how often we plan things and expect to follow through with those plans. Sometimes, as in the case of this weekend, plans change due to unexpected circumstances or...impending weather.
I was disappointed that we could not enjoy our last Chamber's concert with both of our parents. But today was a good reminder that even though we might plan something God sees the fulfillment of those plans in His sovereign plan.
However the disappointment with the concert, it was wonderfully refreshing to be able to worship at our beloved church at Reformed Baptist with both of our parents. Pastor LaSpina continued in 1 John with the passage 4: 9+10. Pastor taught that our greatest endeavor is to know God better and when we know God better we will love God more and from that love we will be able to love the brethren. But this kind of love must begin with a greater apprehension of the love of God. The love of God cannot be understood without doctrine because it is highly doctrinal and theological. By studying the Word is how we come to know that God is a God of love. But love of God can only be understood and appreciated through Jesus. Because, as Pastor said, "looking at Jesus is seeing the love of God."
Colossians 1 :18
"And He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything He might be preeminent."
I pray that Christ would have preeminence in my life

"God gave the best that He had for the worst He could find - to redeem me!"
