The Warnings of God's Word

The Warnings of God’s Word is a bold exhortation to those who do not know Jesus Christ, that they must urgently seek Him with all their hearts. “The Scriptures are full of these warnings…that if we miss Christ we have missed everything. Why? ‘For in Him are found all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge,’ Colossians 2:3. In Him is found all that God holds dear for sinful man, because Christ is the Way, the Truth, and the Life—no man can come unto the Father and heaven but by Him.”


L. R. Shelton, Jr. (1923-2003) was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana, where he later became associate pastor in his father’s Baptist church. While he did not have the opportunity to attend college or seminary, as a young man he devoured the writings of Spurgeon, Pink, the Puritans, and Lloyd-Jones. In 1970 he began a church, Christian bookstore, and gospel outreach in Litchfield, Minnesota. There he developed a God-given burden to share classic Christian literature from prior centuries freely worldwide, which led to the founding of Mt. Zion Bible Church in Pensacola, Florida in 1979.
