A friend sends this video with the comment, “‘stylish baptism’ is a combination of words that causes civilizations to crumble.”
Some of the advice (“this is not the time to be boobalicious”) is quite sound, though.
Update: A commenter below writes, “Of course, if this were about a wedding (including a church wedding) nobody would think anything of it. To a believing Christian, which is a more important life event, a baptism, or a wedding? One might argue that modern weddings are overdone, but weddings and wedding feasts in the Gospels seem to have been quite joyous and extravagant affairs.”
You have a decision to make: double or nothing.
For this week only, a generous supporter has offered to fully match all new and increased donations to First Things up to $60,000.
In other words, your gift of $50 unlocks $100 for First Things, your gift of $100 unlocks $200, and so on, up to a total of $120,000. But if you don’t give, nothing.
So what will it be, dear reader: double, or nothing?
Make your year-end gift go twice as far for First Things by giving now.
