  • When should a person be re-baptized?
    Jan 27 2026

    Many people have questions about re-baptism. When should this be done? What if a person grows in their knowledge and understanding from when they were initially baptized? We should keep in mind that we will always be growing, but this doesn't mean that the power of Jesus' blood that saved us initially has weakened or changed (Acts 4:12; 1 John 3:20).

  • If God forgives sins, why does He still punish us?
    Nov 11 2025

    God is kind, gracious, compassionate, and forgiving but he still holds humans accountable for their sins. We can receive forgiveness, but sometimes earthly consequences remain. We should thank God for his goodness and forgiveness and learn from our mistakes so that we will be wiser and holier in the future.
