Emphasis Preaching Journal

When Brady was three weeks old, he lay in his mother's arms in the front row of the church as the children's message was delivered. When he was eight months old, he was baptized. Someday he will go to Sunday school, vacation Bible school, and youth fellowship, and join the church through a confirmation class experience.

At his baptismal party, we all joined hands and sang grace before the meal. Among Brady's gifts was a Bible.

I pray that Brady will grow up living as if Christ were living in him.
