It's easy to say that we believe in the power of God and the love of Jesus. It's harder to wrestle that belief into something that actively seeks out a harvest in a rotten world. Often, our affections blend with all the things pagans worry and fret over. Yes, that's right - "pagans." Even that word bites back at our First Baptist Church of Christ sympathies. It's important to realize anew that the ones we see following Jesus in these passages from Stephen to Peter to Paul die for their beliefs. May our abandonment to the Gospel carry the same salt.
Welcome!This Lenten season, the First Baptist Church of Christ will take the time to listen to the entire New Testament (days and passages are listed on the right column). Through our partnership with the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship, every member of the church will be offered a free MP3 recording of the New Testament. By listening to this recording for less than half an hour each day, one can hear the entire New Testament in forty days.
At this blog, you’ll be able to read some of our members’ thoughts about what they are hearing. Our contributors reflect the great diversity of our congregation. They are male and female, older and younger, some with a seminary background and some without. As you read their questions, reflections, and observations, I invite you to join the conversation by posting a comment.
