There is a growing culture war in today's society. On one side,
people believe in abortion as the right to choose, that the
universe is here by accident, and that homosexuality is okay. They
believe that Jesus was only a prophet or a good man, but on the
other side, the direct opposite beliefs are being made known. In
this book, the Mississippi author gives a traditional biblical
point of view into what is wrong with the most fought about
controversial moral and social issues facing America today.

"Baptists have a rich and wonderful heritage. But I have discovered
through listening and reading that many persons in our Baptist
churches are unfamiliar with this legacy. There are many fine books
that have been written about our Baptist history, but I have
observed that few persons, especially laypersons, are willing to
read these lengthy books. I have attempted in these chapters to
present our Baptist heritage in a few pages."
1914. Also a chapter on The Communion. Contents: John the Baptist
and his Mission; Why was Christ Baptized, and by What Mode?; The
Apostolic Mode of Baptism; The Organization of the Church, its
Characteristics, its Perpetuity, and Infant Baptism; and The
Communion.
Nearly 25 centuries ago, the angel Gabriel foretold the time Christ
would transfer His ministry from the holy place to the most holy
place of the heavenly sanctuary in preparation for the time when
divine intercession for man's salvation would be finished. Christ
has revealed His plans about the reward of the righteous and the
final disposition of evildoers inside the pages of the Bible. The
Most High has assured us in His word that the root and branches of
sin will be consumed into smoke and ashes - evil shall not rise the
second time. The Sanctuary is mentioned in both the beginning and
end of the Bible. Between these entries are some of the most
fascinating and inspiriting themes that can occupy the human mind
is revealed. The study of the sanctuary may properly engage the
interest of the one who desires to understand the purposes of the
Creator in the salvation of the rigorous and the final disposition
of evil.

The 1646 edition of 'The First London Confession of Faith' was the
confession of faith of seven Particular Baptist congregations in
London. It was written prior to Acts of Parliament in 1649
ratifying the Westminster Confession of Faith with its Larger and
Shorter Catechisms. The Appendix by Benjamin Cox to the 1646
edition of 'The First London Confession' was also printed in 1646.
The writers of the confession and Benjamin Cox were clearly
biblically oriented Calvinists on the sovereignty of God and the
particularism of elective grace. These two historic Baptist
documents exude Christ in the interpretation of Scripture.
