Mr. Board believed the Bible, but it wasn’t enough

When I hear of a new battle over the Bible, I am reminded of Mr. Board in south Georgia.  Years ago, I was the 25-year-old pastor of Zion Hope Baptist Church in the south Georgia pines near Tifton.  The church building sat serenely on a hill overlooking the road, with the parsonage to the left and the cemetery behind it — a little white frame sanctuary, joined by a newer fellowship hall and classroom building.
