Just Calm Down -- Give It To God -- Let It Go

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is at hand.

And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Philippians　4:4-7

We had a very cool thing happen at our church today. We baptized six people: One was sprinkled, one was poured, four were dunked. But wait, there's more. Four people were baptized in covenant baptism (paedo) and 2 were by statement of faith (credo). Who says there isn't a greater right than being right?
