Read MoreBaptism at LifeChurch Makati! Part 2
In the 1st part of my blog on Baptism I mention that it is not an initiation rite for someone to become a member of a church or one to become a legitimate Christian, which most of us think it is! We ask then…’why do we have to be baptized and why do we baptize Christ’s new followers?’ It is because it was part of the CHARGE (commission) Jesus gave His followers...

Tell him what your plans are.” No, it’s not that he makes fun of you or mocks you, but that his ideas are so much better than even the best plans you can come up with for your life. Take it even one step further—the human heart is deceitful and calloused. Sounds...
