Welcome

Let me begin by saying thanks for reading! I am absolutely honored that you would take any time to read the material I post here. My desire is to encourage those who agree with my positions and provide a different point of view for those who disagree. I hope to be thought-provoking and will strive to be thoroughly Biblical. My guess is that most people will agree with some of what they read here and no one will agree with all that they read here. You will find political, spiritual, doctrinal, cultural, and personal items to consider. Some of what you read here will be me, and some of what you read here will be from other sources. I trust you will find enough material here to make you sad, mad, happy, confused, enlightened, challenged, disturbed, delighted, and curious so that you will return again and again. Feel free to leave comments or just browse and read. Know that you will find me always FullyPersuadedBaptist! Jude 1:3 - Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints.

How The Apostates Do It



The following is from a message by C. H. Spurgeon entitled, Judas: The Betrayal

"Judas betrayed his Master with a kiss.  That is how most apostates do it; it is always with a kiss.  Did you ever read an infidel book in your life which did not begin with a profound respect for the truth?  I never have.  Even modern ones, when bishops write them, always begin like that.  They betray the Son of man with a kiss.  Did you ever read a book of bitter controversy which did not begin with such a sickly lot of humility, such sugar, such butter, such golden syrup, such everything sweet and soft, that you said, 'There is sure to be something bad here, for when people begin so softly and sweetly, so humbly and so smoothly - depend upon it - they have rank hatred in their hearts.'  The most devout-looking people are often the most hypocritical in the world."
