Many influential people are members of secret orders. Their membership include church members and even preachers. Lodges claim to be centers of morality and claim to give great light on spiritual things. These orders often profess to show the way to Heaven--even calling their buildings temples. Using the light of the Bible, Dr. John R. Rice asks the question, "Is it a sin for a Christian to have membership in secret orders?" He answers with a resounding "YES." His words are strong but the evidence is stronger. He gives the details and tells where to find plenty more to prove every statement and application. Fascinating and riveting this book tells the secrets many have sworn bloody oaths to "ever conceal and never reveal." Here is a book where honest Christians, earnestly seeking to know the will of God, can find with certainty what they ought to do.
Another book I had read over 30 years ago that has not lost one ounce of it's power. If you are looking for a book that explains carefully, scripturally, and logically why a Christian [or anyone else for that matter] should not join a lodge- this is that book. Historically accurate, scripturally strong, and interestingly written this 80 page book is dynamite!
Read this book more than twenty years ago while prparing a college paper on the Masonic Lodge for my freshman cults class. Filled with many personal experiences and documented facts and written in an easy to read format.
