The Bible teaches that one becomes a Christian by repenting – turning away from – of their old, sinful way of life…dying to their old self. Through baptism, being submerged in water, one is spiritually buried just as Christ was buried. Upon coming out of that water, they “rise again” to a new life just as Christ was resurrected. They are “born again.”… Read More Have You Been Buried With Christ In Water?
What I don’t understand is why many professed followers of Christ want to have nothing to do with His church. I’ve heard people say, “Christ yes. The church, no,” or “I love Jesus and want to follow Him, but I have little use for the church.” I believe many do not understand what the church truly is and what the Bible actually teaches about the church.

Everything’s getting started. I love to watch the sun rise over the hills. Yet this beauty of the morning is even more profound when one looks at it from a spiritual perspective. One of the best part of being a Christian is that God’s mercy is basically made brand new every single morning.… Read More His Mercies Are New Every Morning
Do you want your sins forgiven by God? If so, then God’s promise and command through Peter to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for forgiveness of sins applies to you just as it did to Peter’s hearers on Pentecost. We know this because Peter then said, “For the promise is for you and for your children and for all who are far off, everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself” (Acts 2:39; cf. 2 Thessalonians 2:14; Romans 1:16; Mark 16:15-16).… Read More Baptism and Forgiveness of Sins
