DON'T DRINK RESPONSIBLY: Developing an Informed, Christian Conviction
by: Dr. Josh Franklin
The beer and alcohol advertisements tell us, “Please Drink Responsibly” after pushing their liquor on our society. They say, “Moderation is the answer” to the alcohol problems that plague us. However, I agree with Dr. Adrian Rogers, who said, “Moderation is not the cure for the liquor problem. Moderation is the cause of the liquor problem. Becoming an alcoholic does not begin with the last drink, it always begins with the first.” The answer for today’s society is not moderation, but abstinence: “Don’t Drink Responsibly!” My prayer is that we would not build our convictions about alcohol from the culture around us, but allow the Word of God to guide us toward an informed, Christian conviction that advocates abstinence, not moderation.

BELIEVER'S BAPTISM: THE SYMBOL AND THE SIGNIFICANCE
by: Dr. Josh Franklin
Baptism is the first step every believer should take in his or her walk with Christ. It is an outward sign of an inward change. However, in today’s church, much confusion has arisen over this issue of baptism:
· Is it really necessary for me to be baptized?
· Is baptism necessary for salvation?
· Does a person have to be immersed, or is sprinkling or pouring water valid?
· Who should be baptized?
· What about the issue of infant baptism?
These questions are some that believers have wrestled with for nearly two thousand years, and this 66-page volume seeks to answer those questions in light of the New Testament.
