I had the great honor of baptizing my oldest son, Taylor, last Saturday night at the NW Oklahoma City campus of LifeChurch.tv.  Taylor and I have been talking about what it means to be a follower of Christ for a long time and on Christmas Eve 2009 he decided to give his entire life over to Jesus.  When I asked Taylor why he gave his life to Jesus he said, “Because Jesus died for my sins and I want to live for him.”

Stacey and I have tried not to be pushy parents who shoves their kids into making a decision for Christ.  Rather, we’ve tried our best to just live our faith in front of them and to talk openly about why we love Christ.  Thankfully, now our oldest son (age 9) has decided to follow in our footsteps and love Jesus too.  I can think of no greater honor on earth than to honor Jesus in front of my children so that they may know him!

Here’s the video of Taylor’s baptism.
