Preserve the church through candid testimony and faithful witness.
This book presents a declared resolve to publish an honest testimony about church realities, aiming to check corruption and promote reform from within. It argues that faithful ministers and lay leaders must speak truth to power, stand for gospel truths, and urge judicatories to uphold the church’s standards in a time of backsliding.
The text frames a historical and doctrinal case for writing testimonies, explains why such records matter for current and future generations, and reflects on past church decisions and controversies. It uses Scripture and reason to justify open confession and sustained reform, with reflections on governance, succession of ministers, and the care of congregations.
