Remembering Adrian Rogers with Dr. Steve Rogers

Romans 8:31–39  "31 What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? 32 He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? 33 Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; 34 who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, yes, rather who was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. 35 Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? 36 Just as it is written, “For Your sake we are being put to death all day long; We were considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, 39 nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing, will be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord" In this episode of Real Truth for Today, Pastor Jeff Schreve welcomes Steve Rogers, the oldest son of the late Dr. Adrian Rogers, for a special conversation remembering one of Pastor Jeff's greatest heroes in the faith. Steve shares personal stories about his father, including Adrian Rogers' powerful preaching voice, his gift for memorable phrases and illustrations, his commitment to the Word of God, and his journey into ministry. They also discuss Dr. Rogers' influence on the Southern Baptist Convention and how he stood firmly for biblical truth without compromising. The conversation also highlights the worldwide impact of Adrian Rogers' ministry. Steve explains how a pastor-training course they recorded shortly before his father's death eventually reached more than 40,000 pastors across five continents. They discuss practical ministry lessons Dr. Rogers taught, including putting God first, protecting one's marriage and family, being faithful in ministry, and finishing well.
