Baptized!


Wow, I can barely tell how excited I get when I see you guys make decisions that will change your lives in ways that none of us can fully understand at this point. I absolutely love doing what I do and working with you guys. I love hanging out and teaching and playing games and so on and so forth. This however is the highlight, when I watch you make decisions or watch you get baptized or baptize you myself. More than anything else, this is why I do what I do.

Lily, I am so proud of you. It has been awesome to watch you grow in your faith and I will be praying for you that you will continue to grow and lean on him. Congratulations on your decision!

Romans 6:1-7
What shall we say, then? Shall we go on sinning so that grace may increase? By no means! We died to sin; how can we live in it any longer? Or don't you know that all of us who were baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.
If we have been united with him like this in his death, we will certainly also be united with him in his resurrection. For we know that our old self was crucified with him so that the body of sin might be done away with, that we should no longer be slaves to sin— because anyone who has died has been freed from sin.
