We will combine some of our great advances in the Fellowship and tie them to some of our great leaders and reasons for success. We can now know why we succeeded and why we failed on some projects. To study the past is to make us wise for the future. It is not good, however, to live in the past. To do so is to die.
Life is on a time line that never stops.
Opportunities come and go, and it is unforgivable in spiritual things to let opportunities go unattended. The Baptist Bible Fellowship needs to be guided by wise and strong hands. We need men of monumental character and courage. Leadership must understand our uniqueness and the principles that make us what we are. Leadership must know that there is no independent Baptist movement just like ours, and we must not try to be like Israel, who wanted to move from God's care in a theocracy to be like their neighbors who had kings and were governed by men.
