Proper Subjects For Baptism

Joseph Parker 32


Proper Subjects For Baptism
Hear the argument of some:“What an oversight on the part of the Lord, in the covenant of circumcision, not to observe that a child eight days old could not understand what it was about! What a waste of piety to baptize an infant of days when it cannot understand what you are doing to it.

It cries, poor thing; therefore, how ridiculous to baptize it! It plucks the preacher’s gown, or chuckles and coos in the preacher’s arms; therefore how absurd to admit it into the covenant I For myself let me say that when I baptize a child I baptise human life,— human life,—life redeemed by the Son of God.

The infant is something more than an infant, it is humanity; it is an heir of Christ’s immortality. God not only baptizes great trees, but the daisies as well. He enriches Lebanon and Bashan with rain, but does He not also hang the dew of the morning upon the shrinking rose? Account for it as you please, children are under the covenant.

The child does not understand the alphabet, do not teach it You say the child will understand by and by; exactly so; that answer is good; and by and by the child will understand that it was baptised in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, three persons in one God.—PARKER.



When it is a question of the providential wil of God, wait for God to move.

Why Cannot I Follow Thee Now?

Oswald Chambers
There are times when you cannot understand why you cannot do what you want to do. When God brings the blank space, see that you do not fil it in, but wait. The blank space may come in order to teach you what sanctification means, or it may come after sanctification to teach you what service means.
Si Él no me hubiera amado con un amor tan profundo como el infierno y tan fuerte como la muerte, se habría apartado de mí hace mucho tiempo.

Jesus did Everything to Save Us

Charles Spurgeon
Pause, my soul, and wonder! You have goings forth in the person of Jesus from the days of eternity. Not only when you were born into the world did Christ love you, but His delights were also with the sons of men before there were any sons of men!
When you love you’re also generous, especially with your time, attention, assistance, and encouragement.

The Pillar of Love

H. Norman Wright
Tom Marshall shares some wonderful insights on how to love. Here is an adaption from his book Right Relationships. It’s true. You’ve heard about the pillar before. Probably many times. But very possibly not in the following way.
Every person has pockets of under-developed resources within him or her.

Encouragement Is a Four-Eyed Fish

H. Norman Wright
Every person has pockets of under-developed resources within him or her. Your task is to search for these pockets in your spouse, discover them, and then expand them. At first what you discover may be rough and imperfect.
Adam was designed to be a father, provider, protector, and leader. Eve was designed to be a mother, comforter, nurturer, and helper.

The Creation of the First Woman

John MacArthur
Then the rib which the LORD God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.” Genesis 2:22–23

Joseph Parker

In 1880, In Northumberland, England, Joseph Parker was born. It is a fact worth recording that the county where he had his birth has produced “such a lawyer as Lord Eldon, such an engineer as George Stephenson, and such a preacher as Thomas Binney.” Dr. Parker regards his training for the ministry as having begun at seven years of age.
