‎INTRODUCTION
‎Today is an important day in Christendom; the commemoration of the triumphal entry of Jesus Christ into the city of Jerusalem. As we celebrate, may God continue to reign in our lives as well as in our marital lifestyles in Jesus’ name. Christian lifestyle in marriage involves balancing spiritual devotion, family responsibilities, and financial stewardship under God's guidance. Our Bible passages expose wisdom and understanding as the foundation for a strong household and urge believers to trust God in their daily needs. When couples align their priorities with God’s will, they experience peace, stability, and divine provision.
‎
‎STUDY GUIDE
‎1. How can faith, family, and finances be balanced in Christian marriage? Discuss from life experiences.
‎2. What do the following Bible passages: Eccl 4:9-12; Matt 6:25-34; Phil 4:19 and Col 3:23-24 teach us about managing faith, family, and finances?
‎3. Enumerate the benefits of managing faith, family, and finances well, and the dangers of imbalance. Prov 21:5; Mal 3:10-11; Luk 14:28-30; 1Tim 5:8.
‎4. As we celebrate the proclamation of Jesus’ kingship today, discuss how Christian couples can demonstrate God’s reign in their lives by prioritizing faith, family, and finances. Prov 3-9-10 (Compare with Matt 21:1-3, 8); Col 3:17; 1Pet 4:11.
‎
‎CONCLUSION
‎A Christ-centred marriage thrives when faith, family, and finances are managed with wisdom and trust in God. When Christian couples live by biblical principles, they become testimonies of God’s provision and faithfulness.

WHY BAPTIZE INFANTS IN THE WORLDWIDE ANGLICAN CHURCH?

In the Worldwide Anglican Church, infants are baptized because baptism is understood as God’s covenant grace given to the child and the Church community, not just a personal decision. Worldwide Anglican Church teaching is rooted in Scripture, early Church tradition, and the theology of covenant.

Here are the main reasons:
1. Baptism Initiates a Child Into the Christian Covenant
Anglicans believe baptism brings a person into the family of God (the Church). Just as children were included in God’s covenant in the Old Testament through circumcision, children are now included through baptism.

Example: Acts 2:38–39 says “The promise is for you and for your children.”

2. Biblical Examples of Household Baptisms
The New Testament records several households being baptized, which likely included children.

Examples:
Acts 16:15 – Lydia and her household
Acts 16:33 – The jailer and his household
These passages support the practice of baptizing entire families.

3. Baptism Is a Means of Grace
Anglicans believe baptism is a sacrament—a visible sign of God’s grace. The grace of God is not limited by age, so infants can receive it.

4. Parents and Godparents Promise Christian Upbringing
Since infants cannot speak for themselves, parents and godparents make promises to:
Raise the child in the Christian faith
Teach them the Gospel
Bring them to Church
Later, the child confirms these promises during Confirmation.

5. The Practice of the Early Church
The early Christian Church baptized infants for centuries. Anglicanism, which values historic Christian tradition, continues this practice.

6. Jesus Welcomed Children
Anglicans also point to Christ’s words:

Mark 10:14 – “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.”

In summary:
Infant baptism in the Worldwide Anglican Churches shows that God’s grace comes first, and the Church community commits to raising the child in faith until they personally confirm it later.
