I've Never Seen So Many Baptisms

I was invited to a baptism service for a friend on Friday at Parkview Baptist Church. He is a young man in his thirties with a son who is nine. They were baptised together. How wonderful as I watched children and their fathers being baptised together. Then, on Saturday, I attended Life Church, a non-denominational church and witnessed 15 or 20 more people of all ages being baptised. Praise God.

This weekend, I saw more people baptised than I believe I have witnessed in my whole life in the Episcopal and Anglican Churches!

This was the first baptism service in a Baptist Church that I had attended since I was baptised 45 years ago! I still remember vividly the freezing, cold night when I was baptised at Trinity Park Baptist Church in Dallas. My family didn't attend church, so at 13 it was the first church where I belonged. Throughout all these years, I still recall the night I completely and totally turned my life over to Christ. I went under the water and emerged a new person for all eternity.

Recently, my husband and I have been just wandering around visiting many Tulsa churches. It's amazing how extraordinarily different yet extraordinarily the same all of these churches are. I still am in awe that in one weekend, I witnessed around 40 people of all ages turning their lives over to Christ and being baptised. I thank God for all of these new Christians. It's worth great rejoicing. What a witness to those seeking and for those who have belonged for many years. God is present in this world! I'm so thankful I was present to rejoice with the angels and all the company of heaven.
