Members Razor Posted January 25, 2022 Members Share Posted January 25, 2022 Who was the first preacher you remember and remember something they said? I was three or four years old, so this was in 1943 or 1944. Chester Swore was leading a revival at a Baptist Church that my parents attended. His sermon must have been one denouncing the popular culture of that time. I remember him saying, "What is more ridiculous than the song "Three itsy-bitsy fish in an itsy bitsy pond." I remember the church was jam-packed. That is all I remember of that night at the revival. Chester Swore -- 1907-1990 Napsterdad 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BrotherTony Posted January 25, 2022 Members Share Posted January 25, 2022 The first preacher I remember was my great uncle, an old time Methodist pastor and evangelist, John Chasteen. I don't have a picture of him, but I know he lived in Terre Haute, IN for years and was well known in the Methodist, Baptist, and Pentecostal circles.

Members Napsterdad Posted January 25, 2022 Members Share Posted January 25, 2022 I was saved under the preaching of Adrian Rogers back in 1980. Prior to that I was a non-practicing Catholic. BrotherTony 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Salyan Posted January 25, 2022 Moderators Share Posted January 25, 2022 First preacher I remember would be from the church we attended from age 7-14. First preacher whom I remember what he said was Mickey Bonner. I was at the conference in '97 where he died while preaching. His last words kinda stuck - "God can't use you until you're completely broken before Him." (Or something like that... my memory was that he was a black preacher, and turns out he wasn't, so my memory is obviously a bit skewed).
