One morning you are going to wake up, begin your day as usual, but before that day is over, life on earth and the earth itself will cease to exist. It will be the last day. There will be no warnings. There will be no signs. There will be no time to prepare. Time will have run out-no tomorrow. You must prepare now. Jesus, the apostle Paul and the apostle Peter spoke of the events that will occur on the last day. Unfortunately, over the last 185 years, the truth concerning these events has been distorted into a complicated body of teachings. This makes it difficult to separate fact from fable. The purpose of this book is twofold: 1. to persuade you to think about what you hear taught so that you will read the Bible passages in order to verify whether the teaching is fact or fable; 2. to make an attempt to explain the simplicity of the prophetic principle of the last day. Having knowledge of the events of the last day should make it easier to understand what the future holds according to God's word. This knowledge should also relieve many of the fears you might have concerning events which you hear predicted today.

The Old Salem Baptist Church is an ongoing and living testimony to the dedication and endurance of God's people. It's a church older than the state of Alabama itself. Salem church was founded in November 1817 when this area was a part of the newly formed Alabama Territory. Salem Baptist Church, now called Old Salem Baptist Church, was established on the frontier of newly available lands, survived the Civil War, World War I, the Great Depression, World War II, the Korean War, the Vietnam War and the wars of the middle east and still stands today in the midst of a divided world as an unwavering example of what can be accomplished when people stand in the unity of an almighty and living God. This book is the story of the Old Salem Baptist Church-its people, its meeting houses, its work.
