Ian Paisley_again

Olive Maxwell (nee Scott), Dr Ian Paisley, Colin Maxwell

I wrote a short piece about Dr. Ian Paisley on his passing last week. I looked high and low for the photograph to the left, but couldn't find it. It finally turned up yesterday. It was taken in Bethany Free Presbyterian Church in Portadown (Co. Armagh) sometime around 1987 when yours truly and his new wife (or wife to be, depending on the precise dates) both graduated from the Free Presbyterian Church's, Whitefield College of the Bible. Dr Paisley served as the President of the WCB. Dr. Paisley preached an encouraging Graduation sermon from Psalm 48:14 "For this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide even unto death."

Ian Paisley

Dr. Ian Richard Kyle Paisley (1926-2014)

Sometimes I name two men who really influenced me in the earliest days of my Christian faith. Of course, they were several others, but these two men stand out particularly in my mind. Both men are now in the Glory with the Lord. 

One was a Scotsman, Jack Mitchell, who pastored in the Iron Hall Assembly and who passed away in 2003. 

The other was Dr. Ian Paisley, who passed away only yesterday. They were both solid Fundamentalist preachers whose belief in the authority of God's word was never in any doubt.  If I have any fire in my belly, I owe it, under God, to these men and their faithful ministry. 

Others have paid their own tribute on the passing of Dr Paisley. I know both Rev. Aaron Dunlop and Rev. Stephen Hamilton personally, and fully endorse and share their personal tributes to Dr Paisley.
