Dr. Adrian Rogers
Pastor Adrian Rogers went to be with Jesus on November 15.
Adrian Rogers was 3 times President of the Southern Baptist Convention. He pastored a church in Memphis, Tennessee. I liked him for his theology as well as his role as a working preacher. The name of the church where he worked was Bellevue Baptist Church, where his preaching was broadcast to 150 countries of the world under the tv title "Love Worth Finding."
Here are some of his sayings, listed at his funeral:
-- “Never doubt in the dark what God has shown you in the light.”
-- “Faith is praise turned inside out.”
-- “Define the trinity and you’ll lose you mind. Deny it and you’ll lose your soul.”
-- “Satan wants to cripple you and then blame you for limping.”
-- “If man could have salvation and not know it, he could lose it and not miss it.”
-- “Man isn’t a sinner because he sins. Rather, he sins because he is a sinner.”
-- “You marry a child of the devil and you’ll get the devil for a father-in-law.”
-- “Some people can’t find Jesus for the same reason a thief cannot find a policeman.”
-- “Nothing is politically right that is morally wrong.”
-- “Death is just a comma to a Christian, not a period.”
-- “Jesus saves the best for last.”
-- “Eternity is only a breath away.”
