The Great Controversy Readathon

Saturday, September 6th, 2008

Not too long ago, perhaps about two weeks ago, a friend, Sandra Entermann, contacted me about joining a Facebook group she had started, The Great Controversy Readathon. The purpose of the group was to read the 42 chapters of the book The Great Controversy in 42 weeks, starting September 1.

At the time of my invite, there were only 8 or 10 members of the group. I had been reading The Great Controversy as part of my research for a series of articles I’ve been writing for 3ABN World, called “Our Heritage.” I thought joining Sandra’s group would be a great way to study the book more deeply, since I had not read it straight through since college. Being able to dialog with other readers would help me gain fresh insights, and would also provide a place to share what I’ve been learning. I thought maybe the group might grow as large as 20 or 30 participants, and we’d all have a great time sharing with each other.

The Evils of Infant Baptism

Wednesday, May 14th, 2008

If you asked most conservative Christians who believe in “believer’s baptism” what they think of infant baptism, you’ll probably hear answers like, “It’s unbiblical,” “It’s pointless,” “It may be harmless, but it has no particular value,” etc.

Because my own answers would have been similar to these, I was nothing short of stunned when, about 10-12 years ago in college, I ran across a rather hefty, thick volume entitled, The Evils of Infant Baptism. I never read the book, but I wondered that someone could put so much thought into what might seem such an esoteric topic. Infant baptism may be unbiblical—but evil? Evil enough to write a whole book about it?

I never thought about it much after that, until yesterday when I was doing research for a series of articles entitled “Our Heritage” that I am writing for 3ABN.
