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.

March 17: Romans 11-I Cor 1

By Zach Kincaid

How do we live in such a way that we effect the world without the world affecting us? How do we maintain our identity as a people who believe that Jesus is God Incarnate yet live in a time where rationalism and reason are king? Do we bow down or get thrown into fiery furnaces and lions' dens? Paul does not have easy exits. If we are to live as Christ, we may need to die trying. If we claim this faith, we will offer our bodies as human sacrifices... "Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind" (Romans 12:2).
