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.

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.

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?????

I remember. 

I also recall thinking to myself, "How awkward he must feel!"

I was there for that.  They gave Curtis Hutson the same treatment in the 90's, just a little before his death.

Point taken but I would say you can trace at least a small bit of our heritage to some of these men.
At least these men had some influence on the Independent baptist.

While not Baptists these could be considered as the real "Old Paths" Fundamentalists, not wanna-bees like those trying to use the old paths designator most recently.

You were out of town, but I did manage to pop in and pick up a hardback copy.

I loved the Scripture songs. ;)

I'll be writing my scathing review, so stay tuned.

Bellevue Baptist Church's old campus in Memphis is a neat stop.  Another church owns the facilities, but the auditorium is still in the same look as it was when Bellevue moved in 1989.  Two pastors who pastored this church were R.G. Lee and Adrian Rogers, both whom were Southern Baptists but respected greatly by other men of God.  I remember when RG Lee had his 90th Birthday and he chose to speak at FBC, Hammond on a Sunday evening.....that was a real treat!

Great Choice.

Did R. G. Lee preach  PayDay Someday on that visit?

He did preach Payday Someday at FBC for his 90th Birthday.  The story is told that RG Lee was asked where he'd like to preach for his 90th Birthday, and he replied First Baptist Church.  Very rarely would Bro Hyles not preach in the pulpit at a Sunday service.......he rarely was absent and he wouldn't have guests behind the pulpit on a Sunday.....but he did let RG Lee have the pulpit for this occasion. 

A few years later, Bro Hyles went to Bellevue to speak at RG Lee's funeral.

Years ago I was in Memphis Tennessee on business. I had a few hours and found my way to the Belleville Baptist Church downtown . I walked in the building, found a receptionist and told her I was in an admirer of Dr RG Lee's preaching . I asked if I could possibly go to the auditorium and just look around by myself . I walked around the auditorium. I climbed the stairs to the top of the balcony, to the very last row and just sat down. Unbeknownst to me it was rehearsal time for organ player. They had this mammoth pipe organ there and this guy fired it up. He played some rather classical pieces for a few minutes and then he just stopped and played a song like "When the roll is called up yonder." When the song was over I started clapping . He stood up pointed at me and took a bow .
 
I really enjoy Adrian Rogers preaching.  Unfortunately, I never heard the great R G Lee preach.

Today on my ride from Plymouth, MI to Ann Arbor I couldn't help but notice a sign in front of a building that said, "Moody Theological Seminary." I wondered if there was a connection to the D. L. Moody Church in Chicago.

My second thought was, " I wonder if it was named that because of someone's temperament?" :)
