Adrianisms, The Wit and Wisdom of Adrian Rogers We plan to add five new Adrianisms Near the top of this page each week. Though Dr. Rogers said it in 1984, his words are so relevant to what we are facing in America today. In fact, it was even read and posted in the Congressional Record by Congressman Steve King from the state of Iowa on January 14, 2009. Dr. Rogers is quoted: “Friend, you cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. And what one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government can’t give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody. And when half of the people get the idea they don’t have to work because the other half’s going to take care of them, and when the other half get the idea it does no good to work because somebody’s going to get what I work for. That, dear friend, is about the end of any nation.” Victorious Living 1. Obedience is the greatest proof of devotion. 2. Sin cannot win. Faith cannot fail. 3. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah build the ark. 4. Sorrow looks back; worry looks around; but faith looks up. 5. The reason that God honors faith is that faith honors God. Growing in Grace 1. If the Christian life is lived out in my house, it will be lived by Jesus. He is the only one who ever has or ever will live the Christian life. 2. Why should God give you more light when you've not lived up to the light you have? 3. The most miserable man on earth is not an unsaved man. The most miserable man on earth is a saved man out of fellowship with Jesus Christ. 4. Don't ever insult God by saying that He cannot use you. 5. The best way to know God's will for the rest of your life is to do His will right now. It's hard to steer a ship that's not moving. Prayer 1. There are too many spiritual forgers signing Jesus' name to their prayer checks. 2. The greatest problem we face is not unanswered prayer but unoffered prayer. 3. There is no sin in your life that proper prayer could not avoid or no need that proper prayer could not supply. 4. Tragically, many of our prayers are so vague that if God were to answer them, we wouldn't even know it. 5. God's delays aren't God's denials. Salvation 1. The worst form of badness is human goodness when human goodness becomes a substitute for the new birth. 2. You're free to choose. You're not free to not choose. And you're not free to choose the consequences of your choices. Your choices choose for you. 3. There is no omission in the Great Commission. 4. There is no one so bad he cannot be saved and no one so good he need not be saved. 5. We don't change the message; the message changes us. Money 1. Some people have made a god of wealth. They worship the shrine of money. Their god is gold. Their creed is greed. Their theology is "Get all you can; can all you get; sit on the lid; and poison the rest. 2. The problem many of us have is not wanting more, but wanting more than somebody else. 3. We try to keep us with the Joneses. But when we finally catch up with them, they refinance. 4. We spend the first half of our lives wasting our health to get wealth; the second half or our lives we spend our wealth to get back our health. 5. What you do not freely give, God neither needs nor wants. The Lordship of Christ 1. My fear of God should not be that He will put His hand on me but that He will take it off. 2. No matter how wise or capable you are, before you leave the harbor, you'd better make certain the Captain is on board. 3. The Christ-filled life is a self-emptied life. 4. The first mark of a man made new is that he is under new management. 5. There's only one alternative to obedience to Christ, and that's disobedience. The Character of God 1. Our God is a God of second chances. 2. There is no promise God cannot keep, no prayer God will not answer, and no problem too hard for Him to solve. 3. What we need is not great faith but faith in a great God. 4. Believe in miracles but trust in Jesus. 5. Christianity is not a code, a cause, or a creed, but CHRIST. The Church 1. If religion hasn't changed your life, you had better chanage your religion. 2. In the Old Testament, God had a temple for His people. In the New Testament, God has a people for His temple. 3. On church unity: We are to be brothers without being twins. 4. Our churches ought to run on the engine of prayer. 5. Religion without repentance is repugnant to God. Truth 1. On defeating concepts such as atheism and liberalism: You cannot kill an idea with a bullet. The only thing that will shoot down an idea is a better idea. 2. We need to be very cautious about being spokepersons for God. 3. You don't have to agree. You have the right to be wrong if you want to. 4. It's better to be hated for telling the truth than loved for telling a lie. 5. Knowledge comes from looking around; wisdom comes from looking up. The Fruit of the Spirit 1. Nothing sets a man out of the devil's reach so much as humility. 2. Patience doesn't grimly wait for the end. It radiantly waits for the dawn. 3. We should want to be surprised by joy and not anticipate trouble. 4. Serenity is not freedom from the storm but peace amid the storm. 5. Happiness depends on what happens. Joy depends on the Lord. Heaven 1. Death is only a comma to a Christian---not a period. 2. Christ is my inheritance; heaven is the safe deposit box. 3. The devil gives the best first and the worst last, but the Lord saves the best for last. 4. We're not going to heaven by the "rocket of reason" or the "ladder of logic," but by the "railroad of redemptiond"---the old T & O---trust and obey.. 5. Eternity is only a breath away. Just For Fun 1. If you wrestle with a pig, you'll both get dirty; but the pig will love it! 2. Birthdays are good for you. The more you have the longer you live. 3. There are some things we can't be dogmatic about. But there are other things we must be bull-dogmatic about. (Dr. Joseph Conrad) 4. Some say it's a sin for women to wear makeup. I say it's a sin for some women not to wear makeup! 5. To pastors who would borrow from his sermons: If what I preach fits your gun, then shoot it. But use your own powder. Sin and Temptation 1. Focusing on feelings leads to a faltering faith. 2. Man isn't a sinner because he sins; he sins because he is a sinner. 3. God will test us, but God will not tempt us. God tests us to make us stand.

The Scriptures are shallow enough for a babe to come and drink without fear of drowning and deep enough for theologians to swim in without ever reaching the bottom. 4.

A Life that Counted for Jesus Known for his evangelistic zeal and uncompromising commitment to the Word of God, Adrian Rogers was one of the greatest preachers, respected Bible teachers, and Christian leaders of our time. For over fifty years, he consistently presented the Good News of Jesus Christ with strong conviction, compassion, and integrity. He was a devoted family man — husband to his childhood sweetheart Joyce, father to four children, grandfather to nine, and great-grandfather to one. Of all his accomplishments, Dr. Rogers often said his greatest joy centered in his relationship to Jesus Christ, his wife and family, and the church he pastored. The recipient of many honors and awards, the trophy he treasured most was one presented to him by his children one Father’s Day in which he was proclaimed The World’s Greatest Dad. Under his pastoral leadership, Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee, grew from 9,000 members in 1972 to more than 29,000 at his retirement in 2005. And Adrian Rogers was a leader in his denomination, serving three terms as president of the Southern Baptist Convention, which is the world's largest Protestant denomination of 16 million members. God’s blessing on Dr. Rogers’ ministry became even more evident with the birth of Love Worth Finding Ministries in 1987. Dr. Rogers was the founder and Bible teacher of Love Worth Finding, an internationally syndicated television and radio ministry. The sun never sets on this ministry which is broadcast on radio, television, and the Internet. You can find LWF declaring the Gospel and changing lives in more than 150 countries around the world. In 2003, Dr. Rogers was honored to be inducted into the prestigious Hall of Fame by the National Religious Broadcasters. Dr. Rogers was active in national leadership and personally consulted and prayed with five presidents of the United States. He visited and had the privilege of sharing the platform with President George W. Bush in the White House on the National Day of Prayer for America. Dr. Rogers preached overseas crusades in Taiwan, South Korea, Israel, Russia, Romania, and in Central and South America. Adrian Rogers' love for preaching and preachers extended to the founding of the Adrian Rogers Pastor Training Institute, a division of Love Worth Finding Ministries, offering resources and conferences, to educate, equip and encourage pastors. In November 2005, God called Adrian Rogers home. Since that time, tributes have poured in testifying of his worldwide impact. For more information, visit www.adrianrogers.org.
