                                           THE NEED OF THE HOUR

The condition of the Evangelical Church in the United States of America is one of diminishing influence upon society in general. Many factors have contributed to this including growing secularism, materialism, the busyness of life, etc. Many other reasons could be added to these.

But we must ask a question: has the Evangelical Church herself contributed to this situation? Many Christian leaders believe it is due to the ignorance of God's Word among professing Christians. What can be done to remedy this ignorance of Scripture? That is the real need of the hour. We need a generation of people who are mighty in the Scriptures! Are you willing to be such a person?

To be such a person, we must begin with a theological understanding of the Word of God. What does the Word of God teach us about itself? This includes such topics such as how we can know the Bible is the Word of God, what is revelation, what is inspiration, what is the canon of Scripture, and what are the attributes of Scripture.

The goal is to increase Biblical literacy among God's people. It will do little good to lament the situation if we fail to act. We believe there are many who desire a real change in our country but they need encouragement. We are convinced that the Word of God has the solution for today's problems. Do you share this basic conviction and are you willing to do something about it?

Please join us at Grace Baptist Church as we study the Word of God in our Sunday School hour at 9:30 a.m.  This class began December 13, 2009. Dr. Herb Samworth is the teacher. He formerly taught at the Scriptorium at the Holy Land Experience, Luther Rice Bible College and Seminary, Orlando branch, and as adjunct instructor at Reformed Theological Seminary, Orlando campus.
