n the 90s, the charismatic movement came to the forefront rapidly and became the main attraction of church culture over the next decade. As a result, conferences became the order of the day for 90s church culture: WTAL, Dominion Camp Meeting, Azusa, Megafest, etc. These and many others, were all conferences where you could find good singing & great preaching. However, before you could go to these conferences or any other denominational gatherings/conventions birthed during that time, there was one premiere place where you could go to surely find the BEST exhibition of preaching, especially within the black church context: The National Baptist Convention USA Late-Night services. These services premiered voices such as Donald Parsons, E.V. Hill, Frank E. Ray, Leroy Elliot, Joe Hughes, Paul Morton, and of course the one and only, Jasper Williams, Jr. Check out this snippet from one of his late-night sermons!

He is still preaching the word!

[@arthurgassjr9351]

Oh yes, he's still going strong. He's Pastor Emeritus at Salem Bible Church in Atlanta and his son is the Sr. Pastor.

If memory serves me correct, this was maybe a year or two after Full Gospel got started and this (convention) was held was in New Orleans that year. Jasper made his bid for a presidential campaign to be the next president of the convention. Bishop Morton was actually there this night…. Oh what a time 🙃

@@destinyimpactchsministries3332 correct! Morton was there to show support but things were so sticky in the convention at that time…many had mixed feelings.

​@@itshallcome3213 What happened?

[@itshallcome3213]

@@MicahBacotegospelchannel it’s truly too much to type but just know that when the full gospel movement happened, it was a blow to the convention. Morton took and was pretty close to getting some of the last power house preachers left in the convention. it just left a sour taste in people’s mouth. No to mention, the fallout/tension Morton had with TJ Jemison who was the highly regarded president of the convention on at that time, who plainly said he didn’t want Morton in leadership (aka he didn’t want Morton to be the next president of the convention.)

No Power

[@Bro.Erik.D.C.M.]

The power is in GOD'S WORD that he is preaching about. The life that he lives speaks for him. Do you say he does not live the life?
