Praise you Father!
Praise you Lord,
Ere and after
We've endured!Most of all,
Ere the Fall,There was nothing
To endure;
Only loving
Holy pure.Evil's start:
Satan's art.Sin sustains.
Works are vain!Now of your best
Plan for us,
Hope for the rest:
Glorious! May 2024 S M T W T F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 Need a different heart or trade language?

Immediate Immersion: the Acts, the New Testament & the Early Church On When to Baptize (Acts 2)
The issue for the church in discipling new believers is following the principle of baptism: a test of true faith as the new believer’s first step of obedient love for Christ. Discipleship is the fruit of salvation, and the way of those that are saved. Baptism is the first step of discipleship, according to the practice/method of the early church throughout Acts.

Self-Worship Vs. “Creator-Fingerprinted” Creation
I believe the universal liking of nice things is a reflection of a deep, inherrent knowledge of a “good” and a “bad” existing in the world.
So, although people may have a motivation to have good things/nice things as defined by their peers/culture/society/family, the heart of the universal liking of niceness is a matter of the eternal God having made all men to know him, his truth, his reality, and to have a right relationship with him.
