the virtue of baptism is to be understood as a covenant with God for a second life and a purer conversation... Gregory of Naziansus - 4th C. Church Father
About Me
- Name: Bryan Laramore
- Location: Ames, OK, United States
Christian. Husband. Pastor. I am the Pastor of Ames Baptist Church, in Ames, OK. We began ministering here in May of 2009. The name "a purer conversation" came out of a conviction had regarding my previous blog, which now does not exist. Desiring to continue blogging, but struggling with some of the attitudes and comments I expressed, I realized that I was outside of striving for holiness before God. So, as I was reading Gregory of Nazianzus I came across these words, "the virtue of baptism is to be understood as a covenant with God for a second life and a purer conversation." This helped me to realize that the pursuit of a confessing believer is to pursue life in view of this idea, "a purer conversation." This was helpful in the birth of this blog . . .

I watched it once and I liked it. I thought it was going to be pretty stupid and nothing but a blatent rip off of all of those Japanese shows. While it still is a carbon copy of those kinds of shows, I still find it entertaining.
Thanks for the comment! I've added you to our links.
We missed y'all in SS last Sunday!
