Baby Dedication
Lk. 2:22-35
Dedication, not baptism; does not impart salvation; 1 Sam and IC
Important for parents to bring up children in nurture and admonition of Lord (Eph. 6:1-4)
Most important in your life (apart from God) is your family, not your job; when you are on your deathbed, you will not be saying, “I wish I had spent more time at work.” When all is over, most important in your life is not how well you did your job or how much you accumulated, but that you were important in the life of a child.
Keep priorities straight—raise your family to serve God
Hold baby and pray
