The Ohio Independent Baptist, March 1971

{Concluded From Page 7) 1 than \J e have ever seen in our t1n1c . The had none of the ound " tern or ign , or a nationally ad– \'crti ed quartet, or an over izcd port– folio of well worn and mutty jokes ... nor did they know the "benefits,, a Madi on A enue pron1oter or fla hy , ong leader could give! On one thing they toad ... THE WORD!! THE BLESSED BOOK OF GOD! They preached a resurrected and living aviot1r, Who , a worthy of all ador– ation and love of men. They believed in the power, the ability, of the Holy Spirit, and would never have used anything that, in their way of think– ing would take glory and honor and praise from the One Whom they served and loved. This is my heart's desire . . . to see CHURCH POWER RESTORED . . . to see men who tand up and get counted as believing this authority I am talking about. There, in a nutshell, is the need. . . The day is at hand when we must either admit defeat or gain a victory, and there is no better method than the one our God has given ... preach the WORD!!! It's still God's way, and who can improve upon it? New Building Dedicated Members and friends of the Faith Baptist Church, Lakeview, Ohio held special Dedication Service at which 150 were present.
