The Jordan River and the Baptism of Jesus

Forgiven sinners of all ages publicly identify themselves as sinners through the practice of baptism, which pictures the cleansing that God brings to the heart of men. The perfect person need no baptism, so when Jesus stepped to the front of the crowd requesting baptism, the Baptizer initially refused.

Why did the “carpenter’s son” insist?

Honor Thy Father and Mother

One of my deepest regrets is that I did not consistently honor my father and mother. By the time I recognized my error, my father had passed away. I could no longer apologize or repair the hurt I may have caused. The opportunity was gone forever.

Is it too late for you?

The Next Generation

As Christians, we should be vitally concerned that we are always one generation away from losing the faith. Our children and grandchildren are so important. They should hear the Gospel in the church and in the home.

Are the children seeing the gospel lived out in our lives?
