Called by the Most High

This website is the direct result of dedicated study and prayer. The material presented here has been compiled from local newspaper columns, Bible studies, pulpit sermons, and local radio broadcasts. Knowing that I must one day stand before the Eternal Judge and give an account for what has been written, I have taken the utmost care to present the Scriptures accurately. By carefully harmonizing these teachings, my sole objective is to put forth only what the Eternal Author has already stated, making every effort to do no harm to the reader.

Truth, Conviction, and Accountability

It is readily acknowledged that not everyone who reads this material will agree with every point. Some may even feel emotional discomfort or anguish when encountering certain topics. However, if the truth causes distress, that struggle is ultimately a purposeful good originating from Him who is Love.

The great design behind gathering this material is simply to do good. Therefore, this entire work is laid humbly at the feet of the One who is the source of every good gift, with a sincere prayer to glorify Him in all things.

Navigating the Material

We want this resources page to be straightforward and easy to navigate:

Topic Collections: The links on this site are designed to connect you to groups of articles exploring closely related biblical concepts. If a layout or collection seems misaligned, please overlook the oversight.
Featured Booklets: You will also find various booklets available on this site. Because these were not all written by the same person, the specific author's name is clearly displayed at the heading of each booklet.

A Request for Friendly Fellowship

All material on this website is entirely free to be reprinted and shared. It is my earnest hope that these pages serve as a helpful tool for anyone studying the Word of God.

If you have a grievance or disagreement with anything published here, I kindly ask that you act as a friend. A true friend brings concerns directly to the author rather than harboring resentment. My email address is located directly on this front page for this purpose. Please feel free to use it to send your comments; the inbox is checked daily.

A Closing Blessing

Finally, may the grace of God work effectively in the hearts of all who love the truth. A continual prayer accompanies these resources; that they will bring a true spiritual benefit to everyone who reads them with an open and discerning mind. Please pray for this work, that the glory of God remains the single focus of every effort.

If our paths never cross here on earth, I pray that you will form a deep, personal relationship with the great God of heaven, so that we may joyfully meet in eternity.

May God be with you and yours.

Articles of Faith

ARTICLE I

We believe that the Holy Bible, written by men divinely inspired, and full of unmixed truth is a perfect rule of faith and practice.

Church Covenant

Landmark Missionary Baptist Church

Having been led, as we believe by the Spirit of God, to receive the Lord Jesus Christ as our Savior and, on the profession of our faith, having been baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, we do now, in the presence of God, and this assembly, most solemnly and joyfully enter into covenant with one another as one body in Christ.

We engage, therefore, by the aid of the Holy Spirit to walk together in Christian love; to strive for the advancement of this Church, in knowledge, holiness, and comfort; to promote its prosperity and spirituality; to sustain its worship, ordinances, discipline, and doctrines; to contribute cheerfully and regularly to the support of the ministry, the expenses of the Church, the relief of the poor, and the spread of the gospel through all nations.

We also engage to maintain family and secret devotions; to religiously educate our children; to seek the salvation of our kindred and acquaintances; to walk circumspectly in the world;

to be just in our dealings; faithful in our engagements, and exemplary in our deportment; to avoid all tattling, backbiting, and excessive anger; to abstain from the sale of, and use of, destructive drugs or intoxicating drinks as a beverage; to shun pornography; to be zealous in our efforts to advance the Kingdom of our Savior.

We further engage to watch over one another in brotherly love; to remember one another in prayer; to aid one another in sickness and distress; to cultivate Christian sympathy in feeling and Christian courtesy in speech; to be slow to take offense, but always ready for reconciliation and mindful of the rules of our Savior to secure it without delay.

We moreover engage that when we remove from this place we will, as soon as possible, unite with some other Church where we can carry out the spirit of this covenant and the principles of God’s word.
