Hear From the Generations at the 2010 Fall Bible Conference
2010 at 05:55 PMPosted by Jerry Vines
Though we didn’t consciously do it, the speakers at the conference come from many generations. Our speakers are in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s and 70s.
God uses preachers of all ages to speak His Word to our hearts. It would be a mistake for us to think only those of a certain age have a message of God for us. Some of the great preachers who are older have really blessed and challenged me. I have been thrilled and helped immensely by young preachers.
The effectiveness of a...
