Norris was controversial. He shot and killed a man in self-defense in his church office.

According to Texas law he was justified to do this and he was not charged with any crime.

I have trouble imagining the Pope doing something like that....just a thought.

@gondolacrescent5 Norris WAS charged with murder and was put on trial for his life in Austin. The state sought the death penalty. But the jury deliberated 70 minutes and returned a NOT GUILTY verdict. D.E. Chipps threatened several times to kill Norris, called him on the phone, repeated this threat and went down there to do it.

@okbookguy Yep, you're right. I should have written "he was not convicted". Thanks for keeping an eye on me.

Where are the J. Frank Norris type men of God today? Norris preached against the big sins of his day and bad politicians. I'm from Ft. Worth, and there are few if any Baptists of Norris' caliber in the Ft. Worth area.

Well, are YOU one of those men? If not, why not you?

[BoldEvangelism]

I am one of those men, with God's help. But only in the sense of preaching what he preached, and standing against the sins and compromise he stood against. Not in the sense of having the congregation or influence he had. I preach sometimes in the central KY area, Lexington. The 4 B's of Central KY--

Bold Bidder's--horse racing and gambling

Booze--Ky bourbon

Burley-- tobacco

Ball Games---UK football and basketball
