We believe that the Baptists are the original Christians. We did not commence our existence at the reformation, we were reformers before Luther or Calvin were born; we never came from the Church of Rome, for we were never in it, but we have an unbroken line up to the apostles themselves. We have always existed from the very days of Christ, and our principles, sometimes veiled and forgotten, like a river which may travel underground for a little season, have always had honest and holy adherents. Persecuted alike by Romanists and Protestants of almost every sect, yet there has never existed a Government holding Baptist principles which persecuted others; nor I believe any body of Baptists ever held it to be right to put the consciences of others under the control of man. We have ever been ready to suffer, as our martyrologies will prove, but we are not ready to accept any help from the State, to prostitute the purity of the Bride of Christ to any alliance with the government, and we will never make the Church, although the Queen, the despot over the consciences of men.

The Bible therefore is the center of historic Baptist theology and life. We believe in the centrality of God's Holy Word, and in the centrality of the main person found in it's pages...the Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory. We are committed to Him as both Savior and Lord. We are consequently committed to everything that the Bible reveals. Jesus Christ is the exposition of all God's truth. All God's revealed truth is contained in the Bible. These two things are thus inter-connected and inter-related. Christ is the Word manifested... the Bible is the Word written. I stand upon these things, and I do not apologize for doing so. Nor do I apologize for using the King James Version of the Bible. I have used it exclusively for 45 plus years of ministry. I see no reason to change my practice at this point. The Lord has blessed it, and countless souls have been saved and Christians edified through my preaching of God's Word. By His grace I shall continue to use the Bible which He so wonderfully blesses in my ministry.
I have been developing this website for many years. It is an ongoing work in progress. I am currently removing some of the older material to try to streamline the site and make it more user friendly. But it still contains a huge amount of material. It still remains committed to the idea of faith in a Sovereign God, who saves sinners solely on the basis of Grace without the addition of human works. The LIBRARY Tab contains all the most important categories. Please Explore our Library. That's where all the meat can be found on this website.
The articles that I place on this site include many of my own writings and viewpoints. I consider myself to be somewhat elastic in my doctrine, always studying to show myself approved unto God a workman that will not be ashamed. I am a work in progress! I am always learning new things, and growing in grace and the knowledge of the Lord. Please keep that in mind if you see inconsistencies and flaws in my thinking. I do not know perfectly or understand perfectly as yet. Some of my earlier articles may not agree with my later ones? That's because, as a human I am filled with inconsistencies and flaws. As a human, I remain sinful until the day I die when this mortality shall be replaced by immortality, this corruption replaced by in-corruption (1Corinthians 15: 53-54). Nevertheless, I still believe that you can glean much useful teaching from this website.
This website is information rich and heavy. It is a large website, with loads of material. I thank God for any good that comes through my humble efforts. I have much correspondence from people all over the world, where I have been helpful in assisting men to find Christ and to gain answers to their spiritual questions. I rejoice with the angels in heaven over even one sinner that finds peace with God through my soul winning efforts. God has blessed this ministry, and as of this date, we have letters from over 600 people who have trusted Christ through my websites and online ministries. I hope that you too are blessed by what you find here. Take what you think you can use for the glory of God, and please realize that you are not supposed to be followers of fallible and fickle men like me. Follow Christ and He will never mislead you.
