Love BIG Pump Up

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

Our team theme this year is “LOVE BIG”!

I hope you’re having fun pushing your LOVE BIG limits!

The other day I heard of a thirteenth century theologian named Anthony of Padua who opened every class with the phrase, “Of what value is learning that does not turn to love.”

What a great way to start a class or for that matter start a day! Each new day is another chance to live out our love for God as we pursue the good of those around us! Paul writes, “The only thing that matters is faith expressing itself in love.” (Gal.5.6) Another time he says, “The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Gal.5.14)

May God continue His work of enlarging our hearts to love as He loves!

Your brother,

Jon
