Texts on baptism and becoming Lutheran
Me: Nothing more fun than having discussions about systematic theology, atonement and baptism with fundigelicals. "so where is the age of accountability in the Bible and is faith something you do for God or something He does in you?"
Brandon: B I N G O
Me: "can infants have faith?" "no" "well explain to me why John the baptist was filled with the Spirit in his mother's womb" "…uh…"
Brandon: Yea and explain why nursing babies were drawn to Jesus to the point that the disciples were trying to hold them back
Me: If the wages of sin is death and babies do die, then how are they without sin?
Brandon: I'm so proud. You've brought tears to my eyes haha
Me: So Randy decided were going to baptize his baby. I feel like you're Palpatine and I'm Vader.
Hebrews 10
19 Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the holy places by the blood of Jesus,20 by the new and living way that he opened for us through the curtain, that is, through his flesh,21 and since we have a great priest over the house of God,22 let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our...

You Must Have 1,000 Points to Enter Heaven
I know that illustrations always break down at some level but I still think the following one makes a good (albeit, not perfect) point.
A friend of mine recently told a silly story about a man standing at the gates of heaven waiting to be admitted. To the man’s utter shock, Peter said, “You have to have earned a thousands points to be admitted to heaven. What have you done to earn your...

Isaiah 5
20 Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! 21 Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes, and shrewd in their own sight!
I see this too much. Even from people who name the Name of Christ, as Paul says, “in later times some will depart from the faith by devoting...

More than a symbol.
1 Cor. 10:16
The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a participation in the blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a participation in the body of Christ? 17 Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.

In our culture marriage is not regarded as a gift and something to be honored and looked forward too.

Yesterday I made a late night stop at the store to grab a few things and I had a very interesting conversation with the cashier. We made small talk as she scanned my items, and then she offered me a discount card but I told her my wife already had one. That’s when the conversation...

WORSHIP IS KILLING ME
I was 23 years old, and already a few years into a fog of doubt and confusion that was slowly suffocating me. I was not unaware of my situation, but my diagnosis was way off the mark. To be sure, I knew that I had “lost my faith,” but I didn’t understand why.
