Bible Question:
Why should my wife and I dedicate our baby? Background: We both grew up as children of "Church of God" (based in Cleveland, TN) ministers. We both have witnessed hundreds of baby dedications. This if the first time I have used a forum like this, so I am not sure if more background information is required or not. I am not looking for "we've always done it" type of answers. The only passage in the Bible that I am aware of that even closely relates to this is I Samuel 1-2. |
Bible Answer: Greetings! No one is commanding you to dedicate your baby to the Lord - this is a choice that you must make as parents. Seek God's will for you in this. He is sure to answer as you read His Word and sumbit yourself to His voice. Blessings, mommapbs |
