The Bible is the basis of our faith. The truth of the inspired scriptures are preached and taught in all of our services. Our preacher James Liston Goude shares the true Gospel of Jesus Christ our Savior at every Sunday morning service. He is a retired minister who preached for many years at several Church of God churches. He found salvation at Paran Baptist Church in 1949.

T.O.D. Johnston's preface to his lessons:

"After reading many scholarly commentaries on different books of scripture, it became my mental habit to sift through the minute discussions of individual words and/or phrases, and the quoting of various scholars of the past of many differing opinions, and center on the most logical and inspirational truths that remained. Thus I relied on the studied scholarship of those who had learned the original languages and had read all the previous scholars that had written to get the best possible understanding of scripture that I, as a non-scholar, could. It seemed that most church members would not attempt to read scholarly works - but would benefit from their knowledge if presented in a plain and straightforward manner, the truths they had perceived. The following commentary is my attempt to do this. May God bless my efforts to the extent that they increase the understanding and faith of the reader."
