Dedication


This Sunday we do our annual "Parent Dedication." It used to be called "Baby Dedication" but that was a misnomer since not all the children were babies and they were not old enough to understand anything about dedication. That the New Testament church did not teach or practice such a occasion is not troubling since it does not forbid it either. However, we must be clear that in light of the silence of the Scripture on the matter, it is purely an optional public commitment. What is not optional is the responsibility of the parents to raise their children in the discipline and instruction of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4).

Delayed Return For The Japan Ministry Team


Most of our Japan Ministry Team were to return today (the Baloghs are to return on Sunday). But as missions goes, what was the plan is no longer the plan and there is now a new plan. Due to a flight cancellation with their United Airlines flight from Osaka to San Francisco, they had to scramble to get on another flight. They are now scheduled to fly out tomorrow and will land tomorrow around 4:00 p.m. at LAX via Air Canada.
