Once the Mecca of IFB's

First baptist church Hammond.
523 Sibley St, Hammond, IN 46320
 
The Wilds, but only b/c of the past...Ron Hamilton once worked there!
 
The old facilities of Chattanooga's Highland Park Baptist Church.  The church has now changed it's name and it's location has changed, attendance has dwindled to around 250 weekly attendees.  It's unreal how Lee Roberson would draw in thousands during his pastorate and now all of his work is gone.

Shortly after Roberson's death and funeral, HPBC "remodeled" the 6,000 seat auditorium and took out 4,700 seats.

I have oft heard it said "GOD blesses that Man not the ministry".
This applies to bible times as well as today.

Not sure if that statement is completely correct, but that is what I have seen in my lifetime.

Stay away from that place.  They intentionally covered up a staff counselor that was molesting boys.

I enjoyed his simple and to the point messages. I recall that he only seemed to preach about 20 or 25 minutes, the few times that I heard him. He preached hard, but seemed gracious and encouraging. He didn't carry himself like he was the big man on campus. I'm sure that others may have a different perspective.

As if the high numbers were a sign that God was blessing.

No, but it does indicate people liked him and enjoyed his preaching.
1000's of people felt that was the church and preacher to raise their family around.

Having 50 church members in a medium to large city does not indicate Gods blessing either, but it indicates people do not feel lead to attend that church for what ever reason.

He was truly a humble man.  Back in 94, he was at Bobbie Roberson's church for the annual Sword conference.  He came early for church, sat in the front row all by himself.  Nobody was with him, no entourage,  he didn't hide from everyone nor did he try to take center stage.  I went to him and introduced myself and asked him some questions.  After that I wrote him twice and he answered promptly each time.  I miss him greatly.

I agree with the word humble being used to describe him.

Raider and other 80's folks may remember this.

During my HAC years (82-86), he was honored for some reason during chapel. 

I don't recall what...I'm sure I missed that announcement due to some idiot on the front row of the balcony yelling...

He was brought in on a throne of some type through the back of the chapel down the center aisle to the platform.

Anyone remember this?

Bueller?????

Of course not, whipper snapper.

Too bad we can't tag people here like on facebook.

In 2010, we were at Treiber's conference and walked in and saw Bobbie Roberson sitting at the end of a row all by himself, nobody was with him and no entourage.  He didn't hide himself nor try to take center stage.  I went up and introduced myself and mentioned we had just been to his church for the Sword conference and I couldn't get within 20 feet of him and now here he was.  What a gracious man.

I mentioned that he probably wouldn't like being out West.  He asked why.  I told him that no one here will know what a "'mater sandwich" is.  He got a chuckle out of that.

Yes, I do. I was in the back row of the balcony and paid no attention to the man on the front row of the balcony.
