Adrian Rogers Dies Today

Tuesday November 15, 2005
Adrian Rogers, former three-time president of the Southern Baptist Convention, died early this morning in Memphis, Tennessee, following a battle with cancer and double pneumonia. Rogers was 74 years old. For 32 years he pastored the Bellevue Baptist Church, a congregation of more than 28,000 members, until his retirement in March of this year. He is known as one of the fathers of the Conservative Resurgence movement that brought the Southern Baptist Convention back to its biblical roots.

I gave my life to Jesus at age 12. I am a soon 23 year old who is on fire for the Lord unto eternity. However, I did not start to truly serve, follow, and live for Him until I was 19 years old. Pastor Adrian Rogers played a significant role in my transformation; He is the MOST passionate and biblically sound preacher, teacher, and man of conviction that I know. I thank the living God for the inspiration, life, ministry, service, leadership, and commitment of this authentic man of God. I look forward to meeting him in person for the first time in heaven. May God continue to bless his legacy, his family, and all those who were, are, & will be inflenced by his life.

Delace -

Your zeal is inspiring! I’m sure you will influence a few souls along the way, just as Adrian Rogers did.

I just learned of Pastor Rogers death on today. I’ve been a faithful listener of Pastor Rogers teachings for over a decade, which over the years and to date still blesses me tremendously. I rejoice for the home going of a saint! May God keep his family and the Bellevue Church family.

halloooooo! everybody my christain family i greet you in the name of jesus!!!/
so you want a testimony hey??? uhmmmm…..
that’s it! i got one!/
i’ve turned my back on jesus once but never again, not so long ago i was called to help in the church on the altar and every secound sunday so i said no to the leader of the group standing like a king not knowing that god would be back for him one day. you know friends after that my whole life took a turn for the worst, i fell and fell and fell up until today i’m a reborn christain , married , with a beutifull daughter ,
but god did’nt just save and said well thats cool you can relax now
he came back for me and used the thing i liked doing most which is hip hop music and turn my music into gospel hip hop ministries to the youth .
ladies and gentlemen god came back and saved me and then turned me into a live minister alot has happened ever since things like -i know how to pray now with full force-i can bless people and not worry about it tommorow -i tell my wife how much i love her more than what i did way back . all this changes when you acknowledge that you are wrong and pray to god for forgiveness
god bless you

I hope Adrian Rogers has a good sleep until Jesus Himself wakes him up just like Lazarus was. What a great voice for speaking Mr Rogers had.
