    I Am Where God Wants Me

    The year was 1968. It was our high school’s senior assembly.

    Faith requires a corresponding action!

    SCRIPTURE: 'But they couldn’t reach him because of the crowd. So they went up to the roof and took off some tiles. Then they lowered the sick man on his mat down into the crowd, right in front of Jesus. Seeing their faith, Jesus said to the man, “Young man, your sins are forgiven.” Luke 5:19-20...

    If baptism saves...

    If baptism saves then why is there so much of an emphasis on faith for salvation throughout the Bible? What I mean by that is if salvation saves (which is usually administered upon infants) why does the Bible seem to suggest that the initial act of salvation begins when a person puts their faith...
