Sons of Thunder

As most of you know, the Nehemiah series will be coming to an end this Sunday, along with our discussion of the completion of the wall.

Raising our children is a work that never really has a "last brick" to put in place.


Children are works in progress. Life brings many situations to help us teach them. Mistakes are part of growing up. Since our children are in process, all judgments are provisional. Their story isn’t over yet. They are constantly growing, being challenged beyond their current weaknesses and limitations. Does this sound familiar to you?


But it occurred to me that it really isn’t fair to judge something until it is finished. And then it’s probably best to leave that job to the ONE who canceled all judgments held against us, once and for all, at the cross.


Jesus called John "Son of Thunder" when he met him on the shores of the Sea of Galilee in Mark 3:17. However, over 40 years later we see John is known as the Apostle of Love. If he can change through his relationship with Christ, then so can we.


Just something to think about……..
