Do you know how God loves you? Here’s how you know it. “For God so loved the world that he gave his only son that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life” (John 3:16 ESV). God loves you so believe in him.

Hey everyone, Andy here. Hey, I know a godly woman whose six-year-old son was killed many years ago by a drunk driver. Now, when she told me that she had forgiven the man who ran over him, I found it hard to believe. I had a hard time understanding how anyone could be that forgiving.

The Bible is full of stories about the plans of God and the people of God. But the baptism of Jesus is recorded in all four gospels. And it makes it a moment that really deserves our attention like really few others do. Today I’m looking at Matthew 3:3-17, which is the most detailed account.

As I think back on my personal life journey, there’s been times in my life where I felt overwhelmed by some new or challenging circumstance that suddenly came into my life. The first time I became a parent was a biggie. Next was maybe a new job, new job responsibilities or loss of family members, or close friends, dealing with interpersonal relationships that suddenly cropped up, changes in finances (we’ve been through that a number of times), or simply the daily grind of life like you and I are both facing today during the pandemic. But I have to say that sometimes the intensity of these experiences have led to moments of crises for me, where I had nowhere else to look but up. I’m sure you’ve had similar experiences.

A mentor I once had used to describe some people as a lost dog and tall weeds. He was referring to someone so deep in a quandary that they just couldn’t see a way out. And if I’m being honest, I felt that way many times over the course of my life. If you’re being honest, I expect you have too.

I’m always shocked at the number of people who call themselves Christians that never read the Bible. Christianity isn’t just some club that you join. It’s a life that you live. It’s all about loving God and sharing. God’s love with other people, but Christians are people of the book. We’re all about the Bible. So how can we say that we love God if we don’t love his word?
