Lester Roloff

Baptist

Born in 1914 in Dawson, Texas, Lester Roloff was an Independent Baptist preacher. Often in his sermons he sang hymns which can move a grown man to tears. In the same sermon he can tell a joke which could make the Grinch himself laugh. Most importantly, his preaching contains sound doctrine delivered in plain English. He began a radio program called The Family Altar, which would broadcast recordings of his sermons. He preached doctrines lost to America's pulpits now: healthy living, fasting, living by faith, family Bible reading and prayer, while also preaching against television, psychiatry, and medications.

In 1967, he started Peoples Baptist Church in Corpus Christi, Texas, where he remained until his death in 1982. More of his sermons can be found on the Roloff Evangelistic Enterprises website.

Fasting is often forgotten in Christianity today, even being ignored by many seminaries. However, it remains a vital part of Bible living, closely tied to prayer. By withdrawing from the world and denying our fleshly desires, we can focus on Jesus; praying, reading the Bible, and memorizing Scripture. All that's required to give mother nature's healing process some help is to drink plenty of water. We should approach God in prayer with purpose and intentionality, asking for forgiveness and seeking to reveal unknown sins. The missionary movement in Acts began during a time of fasting, not feasting, demonstrating the power of this spiritual discipline.
