Jesus wrestling Jacob? Christophany?
Genesis 32:24-30 KJV
And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob. And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with men, and hast prevailed. And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name.
And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after my name? And he blessed him there. And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

Just ran across this term, quite unexpectedly. If you search it you'll likely find a good read (if you are unfamiliar with the term).
If you already know it, here's a reminder: orthodoxy does NOT depend on popularity for its truth.
Do you have a Sabbath practice? If so, what is it?
For reference, I do not. But I do set the day apart, and we have family over for after church meal and hangout.
Why don't we treat the sin of gluttony with the same seriousness as some other sins?
A question posted on another forum, but I thought it might be good to discuss here. Do you think it's true? And if true, why might that be?
How do we best reach the next generation with the gospel?
It's becoming more and more apparent that the next generation is different than Boomers and GenXers. And our methods of evangelism and outreach may not be actually reaching Millennials and Gen Z.
So what does your church do or what ideas do you have to reach them with the gospel?
“His fruit was sweet to my taste.”—Song of Solomon 2:3. FAITH, in the Scripture, is spoken of under the emblem of all the senses. It is sight: “Look unto me and be ye saved.” It is hearing: “Hear, and your soul shall live.” Faith is smelling: “All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia”;...

Kids, Communion, and Baptism
Hello!
Our son (7) has expressed a desire to take communion and be Baptist (praise God!). We have been holding off for now until we were sure of his desire as the communion aspect of it was definitely initially spurred on by a friend who partakes.
Over the last year he has pretended to take it with us and I've been supportive with him in it as I in no way want to deter him from wanting to join in. He's grown so much and it's becoming clear to me that his faith may be genuine. He understands the gospel and even prays through it at bed time. He knows the purpose of communion, not perfectly but clearly understands the main point.
Thoughts on letting him partake in communion? Especially before baptism? Thoughts on baptism? We're credo Baptists.
