Paul’s image of baptism isn’t new to the people of Paul’s time. Everyone would have understood that in a baptism (or a cleansing process) you were made clean. According to the Cultural Backgrounds Study Bible, Gentiles that were converting to Judaism were baptized naked so they could be clothed with the Spirit or virtues after baptism.

On June 18th, the Ray Fagen Memorial Airshow returns to the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum after a hiatus due to the pandemic. Every airshow held at the Fagen Fighters WWII Museum has a theme, and Diane Fagen, notes this year’s chosen theme centers around the Navy and is titled the Pride of the Pacific. “The reason we chose that is because of the 80th anniversaries that are coming up,” Fagen says. For example, Monday of this week was the anniversary of D-Day, a day with additional significance to the Fagen family, as Ron Fagen’s father Ray was in the 4th infantry and one of the first wave of soldiers to exit the boat onto Utah Beach in France.
