I Am Satisfied

I have had a long, good life and I have been trying to preach for nearly seventy years. After forty-two years in a major pulpit, the Concord Baptist Church, at the crossroads of the world, in New York, I felt when I retired nearly fifteen years ago that I had done about what I could. I know of nothing I want out of this life which my Lord has not given to me through Jesus Christ.

Seventy years of preaching,---awesome. Our family offers congratulations to you and your family for such dedicated service to the Father.
Do you remember your first message, or is there a special one that has remained with you all these years? Seventy years is setting the bar quite high.

Sincerely
