Ever fond of rummaging through that toward which many, possessing no curious interest in such historical matters, offer but merely a discomforting yawn, I ran across this little golden nugget from Alabama Baptist history.  Elder W. C. Bledsoe, author of The History of The Liberty (East) B...

This will be my final installment on quotes from B.H. Carroll for a while.  Many may wonder why I take the time to rummage through historical documents looking for what "they" believed.  What's really important is what we believe, right?  Or, more importantly, what the Bible teaches, right?  Wel...
