Why Do We Dedicate Children And Baptize Adults?

Contributed by Guy Glass on Mar 26, 2007

... Child Dedication and Baptism also have their reasons. We dedicate children because Jesus blessed them and encouraged them to come to Him. Dedication is more than a promise between church and parent; it is a blessing on the life of the one being dedi

WHY DO WE DEDICATE CHILDREN AND BAPTIZE ADULTS? Various Scriptures INTRODUCTION: I would hazard to think that we all have stories about why we do some of the things we do.

Loose Lips Sink Ships

Contributed by Gregory Mc Donald on Feb 10, 2010

The secret to victory...any victory, is closeness with Jesus...knowing Him...drawing near to His presence will reveal what is in our hearts. The reason many Christians continue to gossip and slander is because they never really have been close to Christ.

LOOSE LIPS SINK SHIPS JAMES 3:1 12 Last week I spoke to you about the thoughts that come into our minds and how we can hatch snake eggs and weave spider webs if we don't begin to learn to think Scripturally.

Give God What Is His (October 22, 2017).

Contributed by John Williams Iii on Aug 14, 2020

Why were the Pharisees wanting to try to trick Jesus? The reason why they wanted to try and trick Jesus was because Jesus’s authority rivaled their own! In trying to force Jesus to choose a side, they hoped to get Jesus to incriminate Himself.

4 Christmas Questions.

Contributed by Robert Walderman on Dec 18, 2014

When standing next to a young girl looking at Christmas tree ornaments, she turned to her mother and asked in puzzled tone why one ornament read, 'Jesus is the reason for the season.' Could it be she had no idea of the Christ of Christmas.

On the Christian Church’ calendar, the weeks leading up to Christmas are called, ‘Advent.’ It is a time to reflect and prepare for the celebration of Christ’s birth. Over the next few weeks ending at our Christmas Eve service, I want to talk to you, appropriately enough, ...read more

The Fire And The Calf

Contributed by Rick Pendleton on Nov 7, 2012

God told Joshua the reason He would not answer their prayers or protect Israel was because "there is sin in the camp". I believe that is true for the church and Christians today. If you're afraid to preach sin... don't look at this one.
