One of Baptist's greatest evangelists, suffered a heart attack and died in a Knoxville, Tenn., hospital. He was 91 years old.
Smith, president of the Radio Bible Hour, is perhaps best known for his sermon, "God's Three Deadlines." Countless thousands of people came to know Jesus Christ as their personal Savior after hearing the message.
His love for our Lord Jesus Christ and his anointing for the preaching of the gospel were manifested every time he preached God's Word, encouraged a preacher boy, and witnessed to an unsaved individually. We will miss him greatly. His thundering voice has been silenced, but his witness will live on through the thousands who came to Christ under his ministry.
