I had planned on writing a post describing the following story, but, as usual, my husband beat me to the punch. His story was so beautifully written that I decided instead of writing my own I’d just steal his.
As a father I feel as if I have the responsibility to teach my boys a lot of different things. Here’s just a few I’ve been thinking of…
How to ride a bike.
How to shave.
How to tie a tie.
How to dribble a ball.
How to love people you don’t like.
How to jump off really high stuff.
How to do a push-up.
How to understand women.
How to treat a woman.
But the most important thing I want to teach my boys…
How to trust a God they cannot see.
This past Sunday I watched hundreds of people make their commitment to Faith, Hope, & Love. Each commitment represented someone trusting God in a new and unique way. But the pledge that caught my attention was the one my 8 year old son filled out.
He pledged $50 (that he doesn’t have) to the vision of Cross Point Church. He later told me that God would provide a way for him to fulfill his commitment. This card represents a lot more than fifty bucks. It represents what is hopefully just the first of many adventures my son will have trusting a God he cannot see.
If you missed commitment Sunday at one of our Cross Point campuses and want to make a commitment to Faith, Hope & Love you can do so HERE.
What do you want to make sure you’re teaching your kids?




Poor baby Brewer, being loved on so well, but so uncomfortably by his big brother.
