And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly… 2 Peter 2:5

Because Noah loved Jesus, he placed time and energy into showing love to the people around him and desired them to be saved. Noah was a preacher of righteousness and was courageous enough to share the end time message.

 

Kids loving Jesus: Sean and I make it a point to share with our boys showing God’s love goes beyond the four church walls. We enjoy making cards together during the week and taking them to the hospital after the children’s program at church. This allows a great opportunity for family time and encourages the children to think about sharing God’s love with others in a practical way.

Parents loving Jesus:

As a parent what tips can you share with our community about loving Jesus as an adult?

As a parent, I have had to recognize that my love for Jesus tends to be impure and selfish. As I am growing in this area I see the Holy Spirit calling my heart to love Jesus by dedicating time to intercede for others. I realize most of my time with God I am asking Him for things for my children, my husband, my family at large and for ME. So instead of fasting from food on my fast day, I will rotate and will fast from asking for things for anyone in my family. That fast time is dedicated to interceding for others. This helps me remember it’s not all about me!
