Pasta Shells With Ricotta And Cherry Tomatoes

Love is NOT: 1. Something you “fall into” – a black hole. 2. Infatuation. Emotional loss of control. “Flipped out…” “Couldn't help myself.” Romanticism and sentimentalism. “Puppy love.” Boy-crazy; girl-crazy. 3. Evaluating another by external criteria. “She's a

10.” 4. Selfish. Interested in “getting” to satisfy my needs. 5. Taking advantage of another (age, height, weight, looks, intellect, emotional maturity, spiritual maturity, social standings, social skills, psychological understanding, place of authority, financial superiority, etc.). 6. Improper need fulfillment. Need for love, acceptance, relating, bonding, belonging, to be valued, affirmed, excitement, identity, etc. 7. Lust. Hormones. Lasciviousness, sensuality. “Let's get physical.” 8. Sex. “Making love.” 9. Idolatry. “......is my life.” Totally preoccupied in attention and time.

It is the job of the church to baptize every true convert as “an outward symbol of an inward reality” and we must do that as soon as possible. But we must emphasize in the case of children and really every professing believer that it is valid converts we baptize, not just anyone who says he has believed. We find that knowing this is more difficult with children because they cannot express themselves as an adult would and because their experiences in life have not as clearly demonstrated that they have life from God. But we still cannot baptize those we only hope are Christians. So we must wait until we know, and then we will baptize as immediately as possible.
