1 Sam 16:7
But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
Interesting that the heart is talked about more in scripture than obedience and worship…how is your heart?  Let’s strive to be more intentional about taking care of our heart and ensuring it belongs to the Lord.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

So no matter how far down the road we’ve gone God is faithful to discipline – and I do mean discipline and not punish His children. We can fight and kick and scream but He will bring us back. As many of you know that’s what happened to me over 2 years ago and this Sunday I will be baptized – and for a second time.

This can be controversial to talk about even among Christians, but I think it’s good we can have Christ-honoring and respectful conversations about it.

Baptism signifies we are following in obedience to Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 28:19-20. Baptism is for the symbolic washing of regeneration of sins. There may be some here who disagree but I think the Bible makes it clear. That is not the main point of today though I do believe it is critical to make because of the salvific implications of those who believe in baptismal regeneration (which I believe the Bible does not teach). That is another conversation and I’d be glad to talk to you about it – but here are 3 things about baptism for you to consider today:

1. If you have been baptized, revel in what God did to bring you to the point of salvation. See how Jesus pursued you, disciplined you, and brought you who were far off to be near. Look at the sin you have committed against a holy God and how He was so gracious and merciful to pursue you, His bride to be, to the ends of the earth:

Ephesians 2:13 – But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ.

2. If you have not yet been baptized, why not? Most likely there is sin of which you need to repent of. It was for me. I am still in need of repenting daily. Do what so many have done. And if you’re questioning this, just remember it is the person says he is without sin who likely has the most (plank/speck).

Acts 2:38 – And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

3. If you are planning on being baptized (like me this Sunday), do not delay without a godly cause (and talking it over with your pastors).

My story (this is an ongoing story from previous posts):
For me, it was a strange time after I believe I was actually saved to not be baptized a second time for the past 2 years. I had led a life of decades-long unrepentant sin. I was a dead tree. God made me alive but I was not quick to seek to be baptized (especially without having reconciliation from many around me who had very justifiable reasons for great skepticism about my repentance). Then a worldwide pandemic hit about the time I was going to take a class and I took the first baptism class (part of the process at my church).

Romans 6:1-4
6 What shall we say then? Are we to continue in sin that grace may abound? 2 By no means! How can we who died to sin still live in it? 3 Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? 4 We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.

So today join me by repenting and being baptized. Every one of you for the forgiveness of sins.
