PREFACE:

Forasmuch as we have taken in hand to set forth in order a declaration of those things which were preached and practiced by the Apostles, we feel that it is our duty to lift the Apostolic Standard and "earnestly contend for the faith that was once delivered unto the saints," according to the instruction given us by the Apostle Jude.

It is without a doubt that in these last and evil days God's standard of salvation has been lowered among many of the leaders of today, who are suppose to be walking with God. But, nevertheless, have lowered the standard and have given heed to seducing spirits and doctrines of the devil. We feel that it is our duty and the expressed will of God to earnestly contend for the Faith and to teach and to warn God's people against the evils of today.

1 ¶ Therefore seeing we have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not;
2 But have renounced the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.
3 But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:
4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
5 For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves your servants for Jesus' sake.
6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to [give] the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
