It's Never Too Late (Genesis 12:1-4)
When are we done with our kids?
Never. Why? Because we love our kids.
We want to be there for them in everything, no matter how big or small that thing is. Sure, it takes effort and scheduling and juggling, but it’s worth it. They’re ours. It’s a joy to watch them develop and grow. It’s a joy to watch them achieve the things that they want. It’s even a joy to help them process through their failures and mistakes.
Could this be how God feels about us?
Ryan Phipps is the Senior Minister at Church In Bethesda.
Raised in the church, becoming a pastor was the one thing Ryan vowed he would never do. After spending many years away from faith, he found that for all of its flaws, the church can still occupy a unique place of good in the world if it is willing to evolve with reason and empathy.
Ryan has a special place in his heart for those who have been damaged or disillusioned by the church, and longs to lead those within it toward a more just and generous expression of itself.
