As homeowners and lawn-care services across the country clean up yards for summer, we’re reminded that there are times when spiritual weeds sneak their way into our lives. They can be ugly or as beautiful as flowers, but they’re still weeds. This week LinC will help you identify these obstacles, root them out, and cultivate a full, vibrant life in Christ. Key Scriptures: Psalm 51:1-10; Matthew 5:29-30; 13:3-8, 18-23, 24-30, 36-43. Many struggle with the understanding of God as Father. Next week, in honor of Father’s Day, LinC peels back the covers on relating to God as Father—how God is the perfect loving Father and how that love is seen through earthly fathers despite their failings. We’ll also explore what it means to be loved wholly by God the perfect Father.
