CBA Emblem:
Q: What does the CBA Emblem stand for?
Meaning derived as its Founder perceived it to be is as follows:
WHY IS A BROKEN CIRCLE ON A SQUARE BASE? The circle is not complete unless we are truly on the square with God Himself. The circle can never be completed until we have invited Jesus Christ into our lives. CBA's main objective is to lead others to Jesus Christ!
WHY WAS GOLD USED IN THE CIRCLE AS OPPOSED TO ANOTHER METAL? "GOLD" represents belonging to God, and also gold is the most "precious" of all metals know to man. Gold has to be refined and redeemed just as our souls do. To become a member of CBA all members must be redeemed, repented, and claim to have had a personal experience with His Son, Jesus Christ, and to be willing to join a church of their choice.
WHY THE BLUE BACKGROUND WITHIN THE GOLDEN BROKEN CIRCLE? Blue is a heavenly color and is depicted all throughout the Bible, appearing in certain shields and on clothing in the Bible as a sign of belonging to God.
WHY THE TOWER WITH A CROSS PROMINENTLY DISPLAYED AT THE TOP WITH BEAMS OF LIGHT FLASHING FROM ALL SIDES? The tower represents what CBA was basically designed to accomplish by building Christian Family Radio/TV stations "Where You Can Hear The Light". The Cross is at the top of the tower to remind its membership that we are to always be "The Light Of the World" and to remind mankind that the cross is now empty, but through the cross Jesus paid it all for mankind's sins! Also, it reminds us that JESUS is always First in all that we do as an Association.
WHY THE RED BACKGROUND IN THE SQUARE? The red color is indicative of the shed blood of Jesus Christ that can cleanse the sins of ALL mankind.
WHY THE GOLD LETTERING "CBA"? Christian Businessmen's/Women's Association National is nothing more than an Association of Christian Business Persons and other ordinary people. The gold encompassing the square is to remind us that the purity of gold (only the redeemed) will be found in Heaven. We must always keep our lives on the square by living exemplary lifestyles pleasing to God.
WHY IS THE TOWER PLACED IN THE CENTER OF THE CBA NAME? We as business and professional and ordinary persons should always have our businesses and our personal lives firmly on a solid foundation as we become both salt and light, always ready to do God's Perfect Will and only in His Perfect Time, as WE go with the CROSS at the center of our lives, businesses, and professions.
For those whom God has chosen to become a member of CBA, one of these emblems come with your membership card and the cost is covered through your $50.00 annual membership dues. Replacement emblems are $10.00 each. A lifetime membership is $777.77 and non-refundable!
Hopefully, you will wear your EMBLEM proudly, placing it on your "RIGHT SIDE" somewhere near your lapel or blouse/collar. Most people are right-handed and we as a matter of custom greet people with a "firm handshake" causing them to readily see the EMBLEM and affording us opportunity to "witness" to them about the Lord and CBA. We chose to use the same EMBLEM for both women and men as this is an association that honors ALL persons who call themselves members of the family of God and have accepted His Son, Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord and understand the importance of regular church attendance
In His service,
Frank D. R. Williams, Founder/Chairman CBA National
