The act of creation took place over six days, culminating in God's rest from his work on the seventh day. Each week, therefore, serves as a reminder of God's work of creation. The opening chapters of Genesis set the stage for our pattern of seven-day weeks. In Remembering Your Baptism: A 40-Day Devotional, each week is made up of eight days. The eighth day is the day of our Lord's resurrection. It is the new day of everlasting rest. In baptism, God is at work through water and his Word delivering these gifts of life, forgiveness, and salvation. Anchored in watery Scripture accounts, this devotional dives into the comfort and promises gifted in baptism through forty unique devotions. Through devotions on creation, the flood, Jesus' baptism, the Psalms, and more, you will be reminded of the work of Jesus given to you through the gift of Holy Baptism. Each devotion includes an opening Scripture passage, devotion, closing prayer, and suggested Scripture reading for further reflection. Each devotion explores the work of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in baptism. Following the forty devotions is an appendix of baptismal resources which includes prayers and baptismal questions with answers.
Remembering Our Baptism
Remembering Our Baptism is a soul-searching book, timely and much-needed. It offers a way to take seriously-to actually practice-what people pledge in their Christian baptism, and what the congregation itself promises. Phil Meadows calls the book "an exercise in holding on to the doctrine, spirit, and discipline of theearly Methodist movement, through the practice of remembering our baptism." The language of "remembering baptism" as presented here means much more, of course, than mere remembering as a cognitive function. Not just an act of memory, but a move into commitment and day-by-day discipleship in Christian community. Not just recalling to mind, but rather entering into true Christianvocation. This is the kind of remembering the Bible itself calls for: Remembering our covenant with God so that we actually walk in God's ways.
Remembering Our Future
How the issues of the past affect the future of “Deep Church” - a concept conceived by C.S. Lewis. Orthodox, Catholic and Protestant traditions drink from the well of a common tradition rooted in the early Church. Many Evangelicals are now reengaging with the practice of the early church as they seek to live as disciples today. Remembering the past is essential for facing the future. In Remembering Our Future leaders and theologians reflect on a range of issues for which a vibrant contemporary faith requires a careful listening to the past. What is the place of tradition in the Church's life? How should we interpret the Bible? How should we worship? What, in other words, might "Deep Church" look like?
