Enemies of the Cross of Christ
 A Brief Study of How Change Agents and Innovation Destroy the New Testament Pattern and the Church of Christ
By Jim Wilsford (33 Pages)
This study first appeared in the Orangeburg church bulletin in reponse to those advocating a negative view of the authority of the New Testament writers in estabishing a pattern for the New Testament church.  Modern use of terms like corporate worship, contemporary services, praise worship, and community church are evaluated against the specific teaching of the New Testament scriptures.

More Good News from Mexico for Our Spanish Speaking Brethren
Now new and offered for the the first time--a complete Spanish version of Enemies of the Cross of Christ, making this study available to our Spanish speaking communities.   Our many thanks go once again to brother Jaime Hernandez Castillo of Queretaro, Mexico, for this great effort to advance the gospel and refute unscriptural innovation in the church, its work and worship.
