Our Lenten journey cannot be selfish. We should look inward in this season, but we also should look outward, trying to see more of the world we live in.
When Paul arrived in Athens (Acts 16:16ff.) that is what he did. He took a measure of what motivated the Athenians and then he measured his own convictions. After taking the two measures he made his confession that the “unknown god” of the Athenians could be known.
That is what we are called to: to make known by our deeds and words the God we have met through Christ Jesus.
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.
