Baptism or Dedication for Your Baby?

When our children were young they were baptized because that is the way things are done in the denomination we belonged to. Children were baptized as babies. Probably neither my husband nor I questioned it because it was what we had both experienced and were used to. As we started to learn more about God, His Word and the Christian life, we thought if we’d had the time over we may not have had our children baptized. Instead we might have opted, as some couples have, for dedicating their baby to God. It is a question you and your marriage … Continue reading →

Is it Right to Marry for Money?

Take a moment to consider the first response that popped into your head when you read that question. Was it an emphatic no it’s not right to marry for money? Was it a casual “eh, I wouldn’t, but it’s okay for some people”? Was it a ‘sure’ as long as both parties agreed to it?

It seems a little easier to be of praise and encouragement toward our friends. We may comment on their thoughtfulness and on their talents. We really ought to be doing … Continue reading →
