By Grace Alone

We have been going through Baptists and the Bible in our Flock hour at church and yesterday we looked at Benjamin Keach and all the Lord did through him. I think one of the most important things done through Keach was the creation of the Baptist Catechism (or Keaches Catechism) for personal and family instruction.

Many people are wondering why the SBC is in decline - it is very simple, first of all we don’t read our Bibles, secondly, we sure don’t study our Bibles - as the most prized possession here on Earth - when we do read them and thirdly, we don’t teach them to our families in a way that instructs them in basic Bible doctrine.

Now I know these are generalities and that they do not apply to everyone all the time but it is definitely a great weakness in the SBC because “As the family goes there goes the Church.”

Want a place to stop the decline and move back into growth - restore family worship time and teach the family Bible doctrine again from the dinner table.

In our Sunday School class we are studing the roots of the group of people called Baptists and last week we started looking at Baptist confessions of faith throughout the years. The first one we are looking at is the Baptist Confession of Faith of 1644 (also know as the 1st London Confession).

This confession was rooted and grounded in Scripture by a group of people know as the Particular Baptists. This group of people feared God and wanted to live and believe according to His Word and not man’s wisdom.

This confession is what they compiled to counteract all the false doctrine being taught in their day. It was also the fist confession advocating baptism by immersion, because up unitl this time people that were called baptists were either sprinkled or poured upon.
