Bible Conference

Challenging Encouragement

First Baptist Church of Fort Worth served as the host church for the Bible Conference held by the Southern Baptist of Texas Convention as a prelude to the annual meeting. The combined choirs from Tarrant County churches set the tone for what appears to be an encouraging time of worship filled with great music and strong biblical preaching.

Dennis Baw brought the first theme interpretation from Isaiah 43 reminding us that God will be with us through the waters. Joe Lightener brought a powerful message from 2 Peter 3 pointing out that global warming will be God's way of ushering in the new heaven and new earth. To close out the evening Earnest Easley challenged us all to stroll around in the fire just as did the three Hebrew children in the days of Daniel.

It was especially good to fellowship with ministry friends and evangelists we have had the privilege of serving along side over the years. The fellowship and spirit among the pastors attending brings great encouragement to fellow travelers.

The Bible Conference continues tomorrow with the business session beginning in the evening.
