Baptist leader now with the Lord

November 17, 2005

“Southern Baptists have lost perhaps their greatest leader and statesman in the death of Adrian Rogers. He was one of those rare individuals who truly was bigger than life. Few men have impacted so many as did this spiritual giant. He was the face and voice of the Conservative Resurgence and one of the greatest preachers God's people have ever had the joy to hear. Dr. Rogers exemplified what it meant to be a man of God. He modeled for all of us how to preach the Word, pastor a Church, love your wife and lead your family. He will be sorely missed. Our prayers are with his wife Joyce, the children, the grandchildren and the Bellevue family. I know the Jesus the Dr. Rogers loved so passionately will be their strength and comfort.”
