Therefore Go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Matthew 28:19
At first, the title can throw you off a bit. What is Jess saying here, "That we should have communal baptisms...everyone together...at the same time..."
No. It's a commitment that as baptism commits to live a life in Christ, as Christians, we are to commit our lives to one another...as a community of believers. We are to stop seeing the world as me-centro...but to start putting others first, living sacrificially for others.
This is the last week of a 21-day fast that our church is participating in. I have felt like God has challenged me to serve my roommate the entire week, this has been a practical service, but it has felt very spiritiual to me the entire week. I have cooked every meal, washed all the dishes, put her breakfast and lunches together for her to grab in the morning. It has been something that I've enjoyed doing. Usually, I would grumble and complain at some point about having to do all the dishes or cooking...but this has been a time of learning to put others first and actually liking it.
Today's Dare - God dares you to live sacrificially and to prayerfully resolve to love people sacrificially no matter what it costs.
