Sadly, for many, Baptism is a moment in time that you move away from. It is so much more than that. It is ongoing. Baptism continues all throughout life. It is a way of living out the Christian life.

Listen to Pastor Mark’s class as he describes Baptism as lifestyle:

Here’s the 2nd part of Pastor Mark’s class on Baptism, and how to speak with people about religion in a way that hits home for them.
Some very good ideas here. Love to hear your thoughts on what is presented, and if you have some ideas, as well:

Pastor Mark teaches on Baptism. And speaks about why so many in society, AND in the church, do not value it. *
_
This 1st part of the class highlights some of the existing challenges. The next part (that I will try and put up within a few days) focuses more on what we can do about connecting with a culture that does not want what we have to offer.

Pastor Mark’s blog post for today, dovetails nicely with this class:

*This is not to say that we believe that those Christians who do not value Baptism are not Christian.

Or maybe it is we who do the ‘severing’…by what ‘we do’.
This is a short excerpt from one of Pastor Mark’s pastor’s classes on Galatians.
It’s under 10 minutes and may just be the best 10 minutes you spend today:

I found many things in this class that were helpful to me in being able to properly distinguish the law from the gospel.
And it quite often isn’t all that easy to do. But listen in and see if there’s something in here for you:

These classes and sermon expand on the “free-will” topic, and how an improper understanding brings the believer to the wrong focus:

I did post these several months ago, but I’m having some discussions with the good folks over at SBC Voices, and I think they might hear some things here they haven’t heard before.
Then, at least they can have a better idea of why we believe the way we do, even if they don’t happen to agree with it.

A couple of times during the class Pastor Mark asked the question, “You still want to be a Lutheran?”
