T. B. Larimore & Christian Identity 3: Respecting Conscience, United By Love
For 3 years, I served as President of my Alma Mater Mars Hill Bible School--a Christian academy in Florence, Alabama, with roots stretching back over 150 years. The founder, T. B. Larimore, was a beloved minister with a unique talent for rising above issues that were dividing the American Restoration Movement in the late 19th century, seeking to root his Christian identity and plead for Christian unity in the fertile soil of Jesus Christ alone. In 2021, I delivered three lectures on Larimore's approach to Christian identity. This is the final of three.
“When my final farewell to the world I have said, no one shall truthfully say, ‘By his death I have lost an enemy’; but be it carefully cut … on the cold white stone that may cast its shadow on my lonely, gloomy grave, ‘THE WORLD HAS LOST A FRIEND.’” — T. B. Larimore (1888)
The lecture today is titled "T. B. Larimore & Christian Identity 3: Respecting Conscience, United By Love." Originally delivered at the Harding University Lectureship on September 27, 2021. This talk later became a chapter in my book The Mars Hill Story: 150 Years of Love, Mercy, Peace & Truth (Revised edition, 2021).
