ADRIAN PIERCE ROGERS


ADRIAN PIERCE ROGERS

September 12, 1931 – November 15, 2005

"For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord." Romans 8:38-39

Dr. Adrian Rogers, one of the greatest preachers and Christian leaders of the 20th century, died November 15, 2005. Like Ezra, the great leader of ancient Israel, Dr. Rogers committed his life to one overarching purpose: the preaching and teaching of God's Word. "For Ezra had prepared his heart to seek the law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Israel statutes and judgments" (Ezra 7:10).
During my time with Promise Keepers, Dr. Rogers and Bellevue Baptist Church in Memphis, Tennessee served as one of my chief encouragers and supporters of the ministry. He leaves behind a tremendous legacy as a true Christian statesman, father, husband and a Godly man and example to all.
