The Bible Apostolic Logo features the golden sun rising from a deep blue morning sky. The Bible as the one foundation upon which we build and are established is marked open by the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Great Creator who so loved us that He became flesh and dwelt among us, then bled and died to pay the debt for our sins. The golden sun arc doubles to represent the door of the open tomb from which He arose triumphant. The descending dove represents the coming of the Holy Spirit to us and the flame represents the fire and power of the Holy Spirit in the life of every true believer.  When asked if we are Fundamentalist, we are more Fundamental than they. Are we Evangelistic? Very! Are we Baptist? We place a higher value on Biblical water baptism than the Baptists. Are we Pentecostal? We definitely believe in the entire of the Acts 2 experience including that the promise of 2:38 and 39 is to all that the Lord our God shall call. Are we Apostolic? Our desire and goal is to preach, teach and practice that exact same Gospel that Jesus Christ and His Original Apostles taught and would still be teaching if here in person, as we prayerfully try to be their faithful representatives. — Samuel M. Smith, Editor, Presiding Elder

Why do so many children and younger adults, even those raised in good churches,  show lack of interest in Christianity and turn to the various Eastern, Metaphysical and Humanist types of RELIGION in this, the early 21st Century? Why is Christianity the only major belief system that is strongly opposed by many political leaders and judges, while Muslim, Buddhist and other Eastern religions are in political vogue?

Children, from an early age, can tell what we REALLY believe by what we do and say. We SAY we trust the Lord, but fret and cry when we face testing and trial and, like the Children of Israel, when Moses stayed on Mount Sinai longer than they expected, we turn to our own arm of flesh and friends, some of them ungodly, for advice. We also prefer the comfort of what is considered Orthodox, even if clearly contradicted by the Bible. 

They see when you say to obey God and the Law of man, but see you speeding while watching for the Police, parking in meters without putting in money when you know the metermaid (or man) has just made his hourly round.  They see the other acts of cheating and of the parents' false front of being such a good Christian.

But perhaps most serious of all is the total disregard many preachers, pastors, and Evangelists alike, have for what the Bible says when it conflicts with denominational or organizational positions, even though they claim the Bible as their absolute authority.
