Page: False hope in Baptist Maginot Line a vulnerability
Posted on Jun 12, 2007 | by Brent Thompson
SAN ANTONIO (BP)–An insidious false thinking has left the churches of the Southern Baptist Convention vulnerable to defeat by Satan, and the convention’s only hope is old-fashioned confession and a Holy Ghost revival, SBC President Frank Page told convention messengers during his presidential address June 12.
Page, pastor of First Baptist Church in Taylors, S.C., preached from Psalm 51:1-3, giving a short history lesson about the infamous Maginot Line formed by the French after World War I to protect France from invasion by Germany. Page said building the system of forts and defense systems along France’s eastern border from the south up to Belgium was a tremendous feat and a marvel of technology and engineering at the time.
