1913 - 2009
David Kelly left this mundane shore to enter his eternal rest on February 16, 2009. We were blessed to have him with us for 95 years. He left us a rich legacy of faith and a constant reminder that God is in charge of all things.
Deacon Kelly became a Christian in 1928 and subsequently served faithfully as a deacom for over 60 years.
He was an encourager. I often tell others that he was my "Barnabas." He encouraged me each time I had the pleasure to speak with him. I always felt more confident after leaving his presence. I became his pastor during the twilight of his years and benefited immensely from his words of wisdom.
I look forward to seeing him again in the life to come.

Hello Pastor Carroll:
First, and foremost, let me state that I mourn with your church in the passing of Deacon Kelly. Anytime an old saint goes to be with the LORD there is a sense of joy (because of the fact that they are with Christ) and sadness (because they bring a type of dedicated service that is very much missing in today's Christendom). So God Bless your church during this time.
Let me also state that I am very encouraged to find you on the blog roll. I am also a Minister in the Primitive Baptist denomination (I am the Student and Education Minister at Orthodox Zion Primitive Baptist Church in West Palm Beach under Dr. James Chester), and I have been VERY discouraged about the lack of doctrinal adherence in the denomination. So much so, that I am wondering if I should go through the ordination process in June (although it looks like I will be going through the process).
I am EXTREMELY Reformed in my theology, so to see a Pastor holding to the articles like you do is VERY, VERY encouraging. I would like to speak more personal with you, so if you have time check out my blog: http://ebonypuritanthought.blogspot.com
(Dr. Chester said that you had requested it).
And e-mail me at ebonypuritan@hotmail.com, and I will give you my phone number to keep in contact.
Stay strong Pastor Carroll and thank you for being a breath of fresh air.
Soli Deo Gloria,
Minister Singleton
