Micah's Baby Dedication




We got Micah James dedicated on Father's Day. We believe the Bible is clear that baptism is a step of obedience a person makes after they become a Christian--repent and put their faith in Christ. Obviously, an infant cannot make that decision and cannot become a Christian, so we do baby dedications. Really, the dedication is a parent focused activity. Ryan and I pledged, before our church body, to rear Micah in a godly home and to teach him about God's Word. Our prayer is that someday Micah may repent of his sin (for all have fallen short of the glory of God) and make Christ Lord of his life. It was a great day to focus on godly parenting. Micah and Carter did a great job on stage!

You all were color coordinated, how cute! Praise God for this dedication. Clearly you guys are committed to raising your sons to honor, love, and follow the Lord. May God allow this to yield true repentance in their lives!
