TAKE THE EXAMPLE OF TWO GREAT CHRISTIAN LEADERS OF THE RECENT PAST: ONE WAS CLIFFORD BARON, HE WAS ONE OF THE GREATEST ORATORS AMERICA HAS EVER PRODUCED, ONE RESPECTED PASTOR CALLED HIM, "THE GREATEST PREACHER SINCE THE APOSTLE PAUL." AUDIENCES EVERYWHERE WERE SPELLBOUND BY HIS MESSAGES. AT AGE 25 CLIFFORD BARON HAD TOUCHED MORE LIVES, INFLUENCED MORE LEADERS, AND SET MORE ATTENDANCE RECORDS THAN ANY CLERGYMAN HIS AGE IN AMERICAN HISTORY! THEN THERE WAS DAWSON TROTMAN, WHO WAS BRIGHT, ARTISTIC, AND ALSO HIGHLY ARTICULATE. HE LOVED A CHALLENGE, AND AT AGE 27 WITH BUT ONE YEAR OF SEMINARY AND ONE YEAR OF BIBLE COLLEGE BEHIND HIM, HE SET UP A DISCIPLESHIP GROUP CALLED THE "NAVIGATORS." HIS MINISTRY DEMANDED HOLY DISCIPLINED LIVING AND HE HAD HIS SHARE OF CRITICS FOR THE STRONG EMPHASIS ON HOLY LIVING, BUT HE PRESSED ON, AND MANY HAD THEIR LIVES IMPACTED BY THE NAVIGATORS. BOTH BARON AND TROTMAN DIED BEFORE THEIR TIME: BARON THE GREAT PREACHER DIED IN HIS MID-THIRTIES, THE GREATEST PREACHER SINCE THE APOSTLE PAUL DIED FROM ALCOHOLISM AND SHABBY FINANCIAL DEALINGS, HIS WIFE HAVING LEFT HIM WITH THEIR CHILDREN, HE DIED IN A THIRD RATE MOTEL ON THE WESTERN EDGE OF AMARILLO, TEXAS, HE LEFT NOTHING! TROTMAN DIED EARLY TOO, IN HIS EARLY FIFTIES FROM TRYING TO SAVE THE LIFE OF A LITTLE GIRL WHO WAS DROWNING AT SCHROON LAKE IN NEW YORK. HE LEFT BEHIND AN ORGANIZATION THAT EVEN TODAY MINISTERS POWERFULLY WORLDWIDE WITH A STAFF OF OVER 2500 PEOPLE. ONE LIVED HOLY AS WELL AS PREACHED HOLINESS; THE OTHER MERELY PREACHED IT BUT DID NOT PRACTICE IT! -- Source Unknown
