Mohler's Utah visit a 'boost' to pastors


Evangelicals in western states live at the forefront of a cultural change sweeping America at a rapid pace, R. Albert Mohler Jr. said at a gathering of Utah Christians.

Russ Robinson, pastor of First Baptist Church in Provo, invited Mohler to address area evangelicals, who travelled from as far as Winnemucca, Nev., Twin Falls, Idaho, and St. George, Utah, five hours southwest of metro Salt Lake City.

The president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, in Louisville, Ky., had spoken earlier in the day at Brigham Young University in Provo, owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In his second address at the university in 100 days, Mohler called Mormons and evangelicals to work together in defense of religious liberty.

That evening at First Baptist Provo, after his message, Mohler answered questions from the 140 people in attendance. During more than three hours at the church, Mohler also met with 41 pastors and church planters to dialogue further about their challenges. Keep reading
