Two Minute Tuesday

Two or three times per year we do a big baptism celebration on the patio on campus. This weekend we are setting up a pool to baptize those who are declaring that they are being obedient followers of Christ. Who do you know that hasn't taken that step? Who do you know that needs to see the testimony of others as they take this step?

Are you excited about this weekend? If you aren't, you need to be spending extra time in prayer that God will re-kindle your heart. This is what it's all about! Changed lives! Baptism is the outward evidence of the fact that a person has given their life to Christ. If we can't get excited about that, we have some heart issues that need to be addressed with God.

I have been looking forward to this weekend for months. We're going to have banners and balloons, cameras and video. This is a huge celebration and I hope that the church doesn't just leave after service, but hangs out to celebrate what God is doing in the lives of those who take this step.

It makes me think of a chorus we used to sing:

Get all excited, go tell everybody that Jesus Christ is King!

Are you excited?!
