Praise report

There are times in each of our lives that rain falls, hard times come and it helps to reach out to our friends and to our God for a little support. This is the place to express those needs, concerns and situations so others in the AAPK family can keep you in their prayers.

Praise report

Post by Reverand »

I found out this week that my 89-year-old neighbor had finally surrendered to Christ and was saved! He has always been a good and kindly man, and an excellent neighbor, but he finally realized that those things were not enough.
There were so many friends and family who came to his baptism today that the church attendance was nearly double the normal number!
He has been unable to stand unaided for a few years, so a group of men helped him from his wheelchair and strapped him into an emergency back-board (on loan from our local rescue squad), then the group of men carried him into the water and assisted the pastor in baptizing him.
Baptism is a funeral: it signifies our former life being buried with Christ. In this case, he even had Pall Bearers!
And being raised from the water signifies our Resurrection to new life along with Jesus. It is my hope that every one reading this has either accepted Salvation in Jesus, or that you soon will.
And I hope that all if you rejoice along with me, along with all of Heaven, that our Shepherd will still leave the flock to seek out the one who is lost!
Jesus is life.
Everything else is just a hobby.

A wonderful report, Reverand!
Several years ago we had an especially interesting baptism at our church. What made it unique was an 8 year old girl and an 80 year old man had made a profession of faith and they just happened to share the same baptism date. It was a great example to those who witnessed the ordinance, young or old, we can respond to Christ.

If your religion requires that you hate someone, you need a new religion.

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
