Passage of the Day - January 31, 2013

Luke 14:25-35

²⁵ Now large crowds were going along with Him; and He turned and said to them, ²⁶ “If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. ²⁷ Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. ²⁸ For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it? ²⁹ Otherwise, when he has laid a foundation and is not able to finish, all who observe it begin to ridicule him, ³⁰ saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ ³¹ Or what king, when he sets out to meet another king in battle, will not first sit down and consider whether he is strong enough with ten thousand men to encounter the one coming against him with twenty thousand? ³² Or else, while the other is still far away, he sends a delegation and asks for terms of peace. ³³ So then, none of you can be My disciple who does not give up all his own possessions.
³⁴ “Therefore, salt is good; but if even salt has become tasteless, with what will it be seasoned? ³⁵ It is useless either for the soil or for the manure pile; it is thrown out. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.”

Today was supposed to be the day.  I am a bit delayed, though.  I have set up a time to meet with my pastor on Saturday to discuss these things.  I want to know if I am missing anything in baptism question and whether or not changing churches when I could be moving this year is a bad thing or not, even if it is closer to home and more in line with where God is leading me.

If infant baptism is right and I want to go to a church that practices it, which one should I go to?  I have really enjoyed the times I have visited the Anglican church, but do I really know what I would be signing up for?  Whichever church I choose to attend, I want to go all in.  I don’t want to be a Sunday morning only dude.  What is Anglicanism on Monday or Tuesday?  That is the question, but I don’t have the answers.  Before I make a major decision like this, I need to explore the intricacies.  I do not wish to overanalyze things, but I should know what I am signing up for.  This may take a few more weeks.
