Name: White Grape, Tangerine, and Asti Spumante Punch
Ingredients: 2 24-ounce bottles chilled unsweetened white grape juice; 6 oz Can frozen tangerine juice concentrate, thawed; 1 c Chilled club soda; 1/4 c Strained fresh lemon juice; 1/4 c Brandy; 1 Bottle (25.4 ounces) chilled Asti-Spumante; Thin tangerine or orange slices, halved, for garnish if desired

Jesus said, “If you obey My commands, you will remain in My love, just as I have obeyed My Father’s commands and remain in His love. I have told you this so that My joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete” (Jn. 15:10-11). In this statement Jesus links obedience and joy in a cause and effect manner; that is, joy results from obedience. Only those who are obedient – who are pursuing holiness as a way of life – will know the joy that comes from God.

A Message from our Provider:

“Don’t let your worries get the best of you. Remember, Moses started out as a basket case”

I’d like to propose that God’s love is much different and better than unconditional. Unconditional love, as most of us understand it, begins and ends with sympathy and empathy, with blanket acceptance. It accepts you as you are with no expectations. You in turn can take it or leave it. But think about what God’s love for you is like. God does not calmly gaze on you in benign affirmation. God cares too much to be unconditional in His love… Such real love is hard to do. It is so different from “You’re okay in my eyes. I accept you just because you’re you, just as I accept everybody. I won’t judge you or impose my values on you.” Unconditional love feels safe, but the problem is that there is no power to it. When we ascribe unconditional love to God, we substitute a teddy bear for the king of the universe… The word “unconditional” may be an acceptable way to express God’s welcome, but it fails to communicate its purpose: a comprehensive and lifelong rehabilitation, learning “the holiness without which no one will see the Lord.”
