Too Long!!

It has been way too long since I've blogged!! But I've been thinking more and more how important it is for people to really know what being a Baptist is all about! I see so many churches, many that my personal friends attend, and they are drifting more and more toward Protestantism. The more I think about it the more I realize that it isn't really their fault! Our history has been so corrupted that it's hard to find the truth any more. The history books in our schools state many true facts but, they leave out the stories about the men and women who really did give their lives for true and complete freedom! People like Obadiah Holmes who was whipped almost to death just for preaching the truth and denying infant baptism. Rachel Scammon who for so long prayed for revival in her town that finally came years after her death. John Clarke traveled with Obadiah Holmes and stood trial with him in Massachusetts then went back to England and got a charter from the King for the land we now call Rhode Island. There he started the FIRST Baptist Church in America. (Contrary to the common belief that Roger Williams was the first. He was in fact the second.)

There are so many more I could tell you about. Is there anyone who cares to learn? Is anyone reading this?
