“One day some parents brought their little children to Jesus so he could touch and bless them. But when the disciples saw this, they scolded the parents for bothering him. Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, “Let the children come to me. Don’t stop them! For the Kingdom of God belongs to those who are like these children. I tell you the truth, anyone who doesn’t receive the Kingdom of God like a child will never enter it.”  - Luke 18:15-17 As a parent there is a great joy in knowing that your child/children will hear the good news of the Mount Vernon Baptist Church . Although, such a committed interest from them can take several years, it is a decision we pray our children will make early in life. Understandably, bringing them to church for the very first time can be a tough experience. Trust us! Your children will enjoy a refreshing, friendly, and enjoyable atmosphere for the whole family. They will want you to experience godly music, helpful teaching a...

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.-Hebrews 10:24-25 There was a time when you  believe that a person will come to Mount Vernon Baptist Church when he or she hears the words of Jesus Christ. That in a social setting with friends or strangers,you can bring the conversation to a spiritual topic and  start it out with one question, “Would you like to go to Baptist Church with me? Yes, a majority are believers of God but how many are really followers who put their faith into practice? How can you as a Baptist Church member do this? Once again Jesus went out beside the lake. A large crowd came to him, and he began to teach them. 14 As he walked along, he saw Levi son of Alphaeus sitting at the tax collector’s booth. “Follow me,” Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed him. -Mark 2:13-1...

People were bringing little children to Jesus for him to place his hands on them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” - Mark 10:13-14  One of the greatest things about being a parent is for them to share their knowledge about Jesus Christ and the Baptist Church. The Bible says that no one becomes a Christian unless that person will be called towards God through the Holy Spirit. There is no particular time frame when this “calling” will particularly happen. Nevertheless, you need to be ready as a parent and member of the Baptist Church. Below is a guide that will offer you tips when your child expresses interest on going to Baptist church. “Anyone who listens to my teaching and follows it is wise, like a person who builds a house on solid rock. Though the rain comes in torrents and the floodwaters rise and the winds ...

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, 25 not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. -Hebrews 10:24-25 A churchgoer is not meant just to go to Manassas Baptist Church on days of obligation. Perhaps you’re still finding your way and where you feel called to serve, and that’s fine. But don’t let it take years of your life to figure out. Attending church is a blessing, and serving in any ministry is vital, no matter what you’re doing. And it’s not about feeling good or better about yourself; getting involved with church is just about desiring to serve God and His people. Serving in a Baptist Church increases one’s faith Through serving, God gave me a front row seat to seeing Him change people’s lives. That sounds a bit dramatic, but it’s true. One way to increase your faith is to read the Word of God (the Bible).  Romans 10:17 says, “Con...

“May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May he strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all his holy ones. Finally, brothers, we instructed you how to live in order to please God, as in fact you are living. Now we ask you and urge you in the Lord Jesus to do this more and more.” -Thessalonians 3:12-13 Your spiritual life needs nourishment to grow. There is a possibility that if you will not feed your soul, you can be like the earth when it is not watered. You too will turn barren and dry. Somehow, in turn makes you desperate in searching for nourishment. One of the ways God provides for our soul is through words and this can be found in only in the Bible. Who can guide you through the living words of the Bible? The Baptist Church. This means that the Bible speaks through us here – in our relation to the Purcellville Bapt...

Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked or stand in the way of sinners or sit in the seat of mockers. But his delight is in the law of the Lord,and on his law he meditates day and night.For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. - Psalm 1:1-3 Living the life according to the teachings of the Bible and the Baptist Church is a continuous life transformation. This is done with the words of God implanted in you through church attendance and bible readings. But how do we develop a mindset that is biblical? With a worldview made up of attitudes and instincts that will lead you as an effective witness of God? The words that the Baptist Church has taught us should make its home in us. These words come from the Bible, a living book. Make the words that come from it - LIVE INSIDE OF YOU! Let the Words Enlighten You Having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called...
