- Great pastors know it’s more important to pray for your people than preach to them.
- Having FAITH doesn’t mean you have no doubts or fears. It means you trust God and do what’s right in spite of your fears.
- HURRY destroys prayer. INNER CALM opens my INTER-COM to God. “Be still…” Ps 46:10
- If it’s big enough to worry about, pray about it instead. Don’t suppress or repress it. Confess it to Him. Worry is worthless.
- If you only pray when you feel like it, Satan will make sure you never feel like it.

Pastor Rick, I became very sad and disappointed when I heard you preach on how a child who was baptized at a young age doesn’t “count” because they were too young to believe. Being baptized as a child was what helped me believe at a young age and into adulthood. Do you realize how many Catholics you’re going to lose by what you are preaching? Yes, I know it says it in the Bible, but I believe that God will accept us if we continue to believe in Him as adults whether we were baptized as a child or as an adult. I have encouraged many of my friends and family to listen to you, however, I hope that they will not become as discouraged as I am now. Sincerely, Lorri
Dear Lorri,
May God comfort you in the pain you felt from whatever Rick has said. It very difficult to find someone, even among Christians, that we can agree with completely. However, I do believe Rick has some great ideas and life choices that would benefit any believers. This belief that baptism should be at an age of accountability is a core belief of many in his denomination. Just as infant baptism is important to Catholics, Episcopal, and some Presbyterians and Methodists (certainly I’m missing some others). This strong disagreement split the church and even has a blood history. I have many friends and post content from people on both sides of this issue that have helped me and others in coming closer to Christ. Let’s disagree as friends, pray for our enemies, and let our love cover all.
Blessings,
Kevin
