In today's Our Daily PASSION episode we are going to look at what it means to surrender to God. Surrender is not a word often associated with positive actions. After all, "surrender in the name of the law" usually means trouble for someone. And we know that when one side surrenders to another in battle, it's a sign they've given up any hope for victory. So if we surrender to God, what are we giving up? Does it mean, as it does for the enemy in battle, to give up on victory in our lives? Is God holding a gun to our heads and forcing us to give Him everything we have, like a bandit or mugger might do?

We hope to help you answer this and other questions you may have in Our Daily PASSION episode for today.

Depression is real. There is a danger for those of us who have never experienced deep dark depression to dismiss its reality, but that would be a mistake. Depression is real and in fact some great Christians in history have battled depression for portions of their lives and some for their entire lives. Whether a Saint or a Sinner it does not matter. All can be affected by depression one way or another.

In today's episode of Our Daily Passion, our goal is to explore what it means to be a doer of the Word and not just a hearer of the Word. And also discuss the results of hearing but not doing what the Word says.

What does it mean to be a true disciple of Jesus Christ? We would all agree that the answer to this question is of vital importance. Jesus' last command before He left His faithful followers was to go into all the world and make not just converts, but disciples. In todays' episode of Our daily Passion, our goal is to define a part of the answer to that question so that we all understand what it means to be a disciple ourselves, and so that we can also make better disciples of those whom we ministering to.

We hope to answer this and other questions you may have in Our Daily PASSION episode for today entitled: Continuing in God's Word

The Bible nowhere portrays baptism as the testimony of the person baptized. Passages that link faith to baptism (such as Acts 8:12; 18:8) simply show that faith, publicly professed, is a necessary condition for baptism. Indeed, it is appropriate to include a statement of faith in the baptismal ceremony. However, a baptism itself (the application of water, with accompanying words) is a statement by God (through the Church) to and about the person being baptized, not a statement by that person. The person baptized, under the norm, is the recipient of baptism from a Priest of Jesus Christ, acting in his name (Matthew 28:18–20; cf. Acts 2:37–42; 8:16; 35–38).

Once we recognize that faith is a condition for baptism, and that baptism itself is not a demonstration of faith by the person baptized, the question can be asked, Whose faith is required? As we look now at the relevant biblical teaching, we will see that the faith of parents fully suffices for the baptism of their children.
