A woman - no matter her calendar age - is of great value. Her role,as created by the Creator and not the world,is unique,her importance immeasurable.
In "The Woman's Role," Dr. Hutson reminds us that eternal destinies are placed in a woman's hands: "God's own Son was placed in the arms of a woman. You may hold in your arms the next John Wesley,Charles Spurgeon,John R. Rice or Lee Roberson."
A woman's role is like buttoning up a shirt - if you get one button right,you get the rest right;but one wrong button throws everything out of order and into disorder. Be extremely wary of today's society whcih places a strong emphasis on fulfillment outside the home. A woman's home is her career!
Curtis Hutson was an Independent Baptist pastor and editor of The Sword of the Lord (1980-1995). While working as a mail carrier, Hutson preached at church services and revivals in the Atlanta area. In 1956 he conducted a revival at the tiny Forrest Hills Baptist Church of Scottdale. By the end of the week, Hutson had filled the fifty seats in the church, the pastor had resigned, and Hutson was called to replace him. Although he had no formal training, Hutson served as pastor while continuing to work for the post office.
He began to preach about soul winning, and his congregation began to follow his example. In 1967 Hutson quit the post office to become a full-time pastor--at first for a salary of $75 a month. Between 1969 and 1972, the church grew from 350 to 2,300 members. In 1976, when Hutson resigned after 20 years of pastoring, church membership was 7,900. Entering full-time evangelism, Hutson held area-wide evangelistic meetings from 1977 to 1980. From 1974 to 1980, he also served as president of the now defunct Baptist University of America near Atlanta.
As a fundamentalist he held to the great cardinal doctrines of the Faith: the verbal inspiration of the Bible in its original autographs; the virgin birth and deity of Christ; His vicarious death for sin; His physical resurrection; salvation by grace through faith; and the visible second coming of Christ. He was a believer in ecclesiastical and personal separation.
