Fundamentalism is Alive and Well
We just recently completed the 3rd annual meeting of the Nationwide Independent Baptist Fellowship, held at the Franklin Road Baptist Church, in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. Dr. Max Barton did a superb job as moderator of this fellowship. Dr. Mike Norris and the members of Franklin Road should be commended as well for doing an outstanding job in hosting the meeting. Everything they did was done in 1st class style. One of Brother Norris' staff men, Curt Copeland, did a great job in organizing the meeting. Also, the food was par-excellent. The ladies of Franklin Road could easily start their own business. All in all, the amenities provided were wonderful. I know something about all of the work done because of hosting the meeting the two previous years. Franklin Road Baptist Church brought much glory and honor to God and for the cause of Christ.
As for the meeting, it was awesome. I don't see how the line-up of preachers could have been any better. Clyde Box opened the meeting on Monday night, and R. B. Ouellette closed out the meeting on Wednesday night, with a great host of preachers in between. You should have been there to hear Bro. Kenny Baldwin preach the house a fire. The music was fantastic for every service. The FRBC choir sang each night and my associate pastor, Ray Turner, led the congregational singing. My pianist, Jenny McGrath, was there to play and all were such a blessing. The attendance was great for all thirteen services with the building packed several times.
It was so encouraging to see all of the fundamental preachers present that have grown weary of the liberal direction others have gone. I heard several preachers say this reminded them of the old Southwide meetings when the atmosphere was electric. It was fun, festive, and encouraging. I look forward next year when the meeting will come back to Peoples Baptist Church.
