Q&A with Bro. Larry...
Favorite thing about First Baptist Lakeside:
The loving spirit of God’s people at FBCL
Proudest moments in your career/life:
The night my youngest son was saved because everyone in my family was now saved. Also April 29, 1984 is a special day because that’s the day my wife, Rita, made her first public testimony in front of the whole church.
Favorite Bible passage and why?
Joshua 1 (After Moses’ death, the Lord commands Joshua to lead the Israelites across the Jordan River into the Promised Land, and vows ‘never to leave or forsake His people if they remain faithful to Him)...because I am one that depends on God’s strength and He promises that He will give it to me.
One piece of advice you have for the world?
Peace comes only through a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Other than the Bible, what books would you recommend to others?
An oldie but a goodie: “How to Win Friends and Influence People” by Dale Carnegie
“Confronting Casual Christianity” by Dr. Charles Stanley
What else?
I love life. There are a million things I want to do. I love my family and am very proud of all of them. I love my church. Most of all, though, I love my Lord...because of Him |
