My church, First Baptist Church, Canton, Michigan, is hosting the fall meeting of the World Baptist Fellowship. I haven't been able to attend all the sessions, but what I've heard from the speakers, so far, is outstanding.
Last night Dr. David Bryant, past President of Arlington Baptist College, preached. Dr. Bryant has been gifted with an outstanding memory and a gift for public speaking. I could listen to him all day, I think, and not get fidgety or tired. He is that good.
Anyway, he spoke for a half-hour, or so, about the Sovereignty of God and as I recall mentioned the word sovereignty only once. I wish I had that kind of skill.
Let's face it though, Dr. Bryant was obviously born with certain God-given gifts, but to achieve the level of skill he has has taken a life-time of study, prayer, practice, and education. Shouldn't everyone of us do our best to emulate those we admire and do what they do? I think so!
So, after this conference ends tonight, I will have to study more and longer. I'll never be a David Bryant, but I can sure try to be the best Mason I can be.
