Meet a Man Truly Dedicated to His Faith
There are some people who claim they have faith in their religion, but they never live a life that shows their dedication. Roberts Liardon is a man who truly lived his religion. When he was very young, he believed he received a call from God in the form of a prophecy. As he grew older, he only became more dedicated to God. He preached his first sermon when he was only 13 and at the age of 15, he started lecturing to large crowds in colleges and universities. When he was only 16, he had his own radio show and at 17 he wrote his first book, which sold over a million copies.
Roberts Liardon was a great preacher but he also was a dedicated humanitarian. He helped provide food, clothing and medical aide to several nations around the world. In Namibia Africa, he started an AIDS prevention campaign in the public schools. His efforts were recognized by President George W. Bush. While in his 20's, he had one of the largest growing churches in the United States and several Bible schools as well. Not only did he preach the gospel, he also trained others to do the same. During this time, he also had a television show called "The High Life."
After writing his first book, his skills as an author only increased. His books were translated into over 50 languages and they sold over 7 million copies. The Roberts Liardon Ministries have trained over 500 missionaries worldwide and there are now 5 accredited Bible schools that he oversees. Church history was a big part of his life and that is why he has one of the largest collections of church history memorabilia. Some of the things he has in his collection are rare books, videos, voice recordings, films and personal effects from many leaders of the Pentecostal Reformation.
Religion is a very important part of many people's lives, but there are few people in the world as dedicated to their faith as Liardon. Just by going to his website, www.robertsliardon.us, anyone could see his commitment to his beliefs. One of the most important aspects of religion is how you treat your fellow man. A true religious leader should live their life for the people and their everyday behavior should be no different than their religious actions. People who want to understand the Christian faith better could learn a lot from Roberts and his ministry.
