George Washington was one. So were Benjamin Franklin, Paul Revere and Richard Allen, Founder/first Bishop of the A.M.E. Church, as well as Roots author, Alex Haley. The Freemasons say they are simply a fraternity that desires to make good men better. They would say that they are not a secret society, but an organization with secrets and private practices. It is interesting that though they call themselves a brotherhood, most white and African American Masons Lodges meet separately. The Masonic Lodge is the parent organization for the Order of Eastern Star.
Though good men and women are members of these secret organizations, this does not make the organization good or godly. “We are not wrestling against flesh and blood, but against principalities and powers.” Ephesians 6:12. It is the spirit of Freemasonry that makes these organizations incompatible with the Word of God and therefore organizations Christians should not join.
Dr. Peggy Elliott has spent almost two decades researching the truth about Freemasonry. She hopes that you will find the information contained in this book liberating. From a biblical perspective you will discover why no man can serve two masters.
