Early Baptists were known as law-breakers. Shurden writes, "They broke the laws in England and they broke the laws in America. And they broke ...read more

    People come to church for all kinds of reasons, but the only "good" reason to be in church is to "see Jesus." Hebrews 10 tells us how we can make sure we have the right attitude in worship.
