You really are forgiven

November 15, 2009 Missional Church

Holly W. was baptized on her 30th birthday. She said her twenties were pretty rough and she wanted to start her thirties right. I told her baptism is new life and the most amazing way to plunge into a relationship with Jesus by enacting what he did for us in his death on the cross and his glorious resurrection. And I told her she is really–truly–forgiven, washed and made new. We are the bride of Christ, and this is our wedding ceremony.

Holly W. was baptized recently at Garnett.

Greg R Taylor

I am a home builder in Northeastern Oklahoma and president of 1256Movement.org. Proceeds from my latest book published in 2023, Prodigals, benefit this nonprofit dedicated to reparations of racial trauma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taylor is author of several books, including a coauthored work with Randy Harris titled Living Jesus. He and his wife, Jill, have three adult children, Ashley, Anna, and Jacob, for whom Prodigals is dedicated. I’ve been a writer for 30 years, a professional writer and editor for most of those years. No matter what other jobs I’ve done, I’ve continued to write. I’m the author, co-author, editor, or ghostwriter of many books you can see here. You’ll find a lot of topics I’ve written about listed and I've tried to categorize them so there should be bread crumbs for you to follow your interests. I’m 2024, I’ll celebrate 20 years of blogging. You can also find lots of free articles I’ve published in various magazines if you search my name at Christianity Today, Sojourners, and Wineskins. I wrote many book reviews for Publishers Weekly some years back but most of the reviews are not named reviews for sake of objectivity.
