Adrian Rogers Dies at 74, Leaving a Legacy of a "Love Worth Finding"



Well respected and loved, Adrian Rogers, Pastor of Love Worth Finding ministry died Tuesday, November 15, in a Memphis, Tenn., hospital, and funeral services were held on Thursday. Having preached over 3,000 messages, many of them have been carried over 2,300 radio stations and more than 13,000 television outlets, which his staff said will continue for years to come.

James Dobson, founder of Focus on the Family said of his fellow broadcaster friend, "There is no one in America whom I respected more than Dr. Rogers."

A very fitting bible verse is listed on the announcement webpage reads, “Finally, brethren, farewell. Become complete. Be of good comfort, be of one mind, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you.” 2 Corinthians 13:11.

Steve Gaines, Rogers' successor at Bellevue, said, "The last thing I heard him say was, 'I am at perfect peace...His eyes and my eyes caught one another. He looked right at me and he gave me a thumbs up. That's just him -- he was Mr. Positive. He was an awesome guy."
