    A Challenging invitation for Christianity to walk in the power of the Holy Spirit by coming clean before a Holy God.

    It is interesting how we can allow what we have always been taught by others to affect how we look at what the Bible teaches. The subject of baptism is one such subject in which what many have always been taught leads them to suppress the truth.

    I have had many discussions about the subject of baptism with people, and it never fails that sometime during the discussion, they just deny what the scriptures say about the topic. They at times just say, “I deny what you are saying about about baptism,” ignoring the fact that all I am ...read more

    Promises To Keep Before I Sleep

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Nov 8, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 3,868 views

    We find it difficult to keep promises because we are focused on dealing with today’s issues. We back off our commitments to God because they are hard, but we can receive help from accountability partners, and can know joy and fulfillment.

    To be a saint is not to be perfect; to be a saint is to be someone who makes promises and keeps them. Sainthood is not some magic status, conferred by the church for merit or miracles; sainthood is ordinary people living in extraordinary faithfulness, making promises and keeping them.

    As young people we make many naive promises, which are diluted by the demands of the day. But God sends people to intervene with the truth, so that at the end we are able to praise Him for the grace that helps us feel some degree of fulfillment.

    The shouts of today are so loud that I do not hear the echoes of yesterday, nor do I listen to the faint whispers of tomorrow. All I really know is what is clamoring in my ear right here, right now. That makes me lose perspective. The shouts of today are so insistently loud that I do not hear ...read more

    We make promises to God but do not keep them because we let life overwhelm us, but if we listen to those who care for us, they will bring us back to our promises.

    Is water baptism really necessary? If so, why?
