Who Changed the Message? Remaining Faithful to Jesus' Call on Our Lives

By Dr. Mario Elcock

Become a contagious Christian without spreading a diseased message!

What ifwe could see past cultural distortions and clearly communicate the pure message of the gospel vital to rescuing lost souls? Imagine how the work of God would advance if believers actually pursued the mission He gave us using the method He specifically laid out!

Dr. Mario Elcock, Senior Pastor of Mount Nebo Missionary Baptist Church, walks us through God’s message of salvation in the Old and New Testaments to help us understand and pursue the call on every Christian’s life to evangelize and then guide new believers into a closer relationship with God.

Praise for

Who Changed the Message?

Dr. Elcock says it so well: Once God redeems His people, there is a relationship and blessing to be found. He then leads the reader creatively and yet urgently to be faithful in not changing God’s clear terms of embracing that relationship and blessing. Who Changed The Message? will challenge the reader to be steadfast in the things of God, knowing that it is His purposes that will ultimately prevail (Proverbs 19: 21). I highly recommend this book to all who are serious about remaining faithful to Jesus’s call on their lives. Hopefully, reader, that represents your greatest desire. If it does, you will be encouraged as well as convicted, but most of all simply blessed as you mediate on the message contained here.

— Pastor Stevan W. Ranson, B.Th., M.A. Hazelwood Christian Church, Clayton, Indiana

What a timely piece of literature! Dr. Elcock has truly challenged this present-day generation of believers. This book is a must read! Who Changed The Message? ought to be in the hands of every believer. Once I started reading it, I couldn’t put it down. It left me wanting more. I commend my brother for reminding us to remain faithful to the Master and the Message. Thank God for this passionate piece of writing.

— Rev. Charles E. Adams, Jr., Pastor of Pilgrim Rest Missionary Baptist Church, Gary, Indiana

Dr. Mario Elcock writes a relevant book on the matter of Salvation. He deals with the importance of the Christian believer to remain faithful and factual in the teaching and reaching of those who are lost. In this book, he emphasizes the universal need of salvation. He takes the reader on a journey from the Old Testament to the New Testament, to discover the Man, the Message, and the Method of this magnificent gift that God has given to all mankind: salvation!

— Pastor Ronald Covington, Sr., Friendship Missionary Baptist Church, Indianapolis, Indiana

As I look at the world around me, I am astounded at how timely Who Changed the Message? is in speaking to the needs of the human heart. In challenging popular notions of discipleship, evangelism, and baptism, the Reverend Dr. Mario Elcock offers a clarion call to all who claim the name Christian, and the heart of his message, though challenging, is one offered in love. My prayer is that all who read Who Changed the Message? will feel a renewed sense of calling and a claim on their lives to share the good news
