MY HOPE FOR OUR CONVENTION  
June 13, 2006
My hope for our Convention is simple. It runs upon one premise. It rides upon one purpose. It rests upon one person. My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus’ blood and righteousness.  Read More...

It’s Time to Move - 1992 SBC President’s Address - Indianapolis, IN  
June 16, 1992
Beginning in chapter two, verse one of Deuteronomy, the Bible says, “Then we turned and journeyed into the wilderness…and we skirted Mount Seir for many days. And the Lord spoke to me saying: ‘You have skirted this mountain long enough; turn northward’” (NKJV). God’s people, the people of Israel, had been poised and waiting to enter the Promised Land. Suddenly their faith failed them and their hearts were frozen in fear. Because they disobeyed God they were banished to the hot sands of the desert, left to wandering in the wilderness until a new generation would take God at His Word. Read More...

Faith is the Victory - Southern Baptist President's Address - Atlanta, Georgia, June 4, 1991

Search the Scriptures - 1989 Southern Baptist Convention, Las Vegas, NV  
June 14, 1989
Last night from my hotel room, I looked at the glittering neon lights of Las Vegas and thought how people all over the world are looking for a city like Las Vegas. But, I tell you; the glitz of Las Vegas fades in comparison to the glory of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I pray Southern Baptists will be like Abraham, looking for a city that has foundations whose builder and maker is God. Sometimes, I fear we think too much about our bigness when God is more concerned about our holiness and the lostness of the world. Since we have been here this week Nevada Baptist have said again and again, “Thank you, thank you for coming to Nevada. Your coming has been a tremendous encouragement to us.” Let us go from here remembering to pray for them as they faithfully serve our Lord beyond the Bible Belt. Read More...
