Some often question what the baptizer is supposed to say when baptizing someone.  The short answer is: The Bible does not give specific words that a baptizer must say when baptizing another person.  What the Bible does demand before someone is baptized is belief in Jesus Christ (Mark 16:16), repentance of sins (Acts 2:38) and confession of faith (Rom. 10:9).  Thus, where…

Can we know which god is the right God? In this series, we have seen that the same primary arguments for the existence of God also prove who that God is. Through the cosmological and fine-tuning arguments, we can see that the God of this universe must be an all-powerful, singular, personal God, who made the universe perfectly to support human life.…

[This article is not original with me and has been around for a while, but it is certainly “bulletin-worthy.”  I do not know who wrote this “letter,” but online and in church bulletins over the years, I have seen many variations of it.  While children will not appreciate some of the things stated, may this encourage all parents to continue striving daily…

Those of us who live in West Palm Beach look across the waterway to see Palm Beach and immediately realize how different our lives are from those who live in such great luxury. Fifty-eight billionaires live there, and the Trumps are not even in the top twenty! At first glance, we may think they are so blessed, but eyes of faith change…

Last week, we looked at how we can know that the God of the Bible is the true God of the universe. We saw through the cosmological argument that God must be all-powerful, and He must be one. Therefore, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob must be the God of our universe. But, the proof evidence doesn’t stop there. The second…

Some clothing is advertised as “One size fits all.”  While that may or may not be factual, the concept is intriguing.  As we go through life, there is a behavior that “fits all” situations.  Situation #1: Some folks have been really nice to you and you want to do something nice in return, but you cannot afford to buy them a gift. …

There is an interesting paragraph in the fourth chapter of Peter’s first letter. While there may be a few things in it harder to understand, there are many lessons each of us can learn and apply to help us in our growth. We tend to harshly judge Peter because of his shameless denial of Jesus at His trial, but the great spirituality…

The first step in converting an atheist (someone that doesn’t believe in God) to Christianity is to convince them that the existence of God is reasonable. To do this, there are three major arguments we can use. The cosmological argument states that a universe with a beginning must have a cause that is greater than the laws of physics. The fine-tuning argument…
