One of great statesmen for Baptist in Texas was Paul Powell.

Paul Powell pastored 1st Baptist Church of San Marcos and Taylor; Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler; President & CEO of Guidestone Financial and was the Dean of the George Truett Theological Seminary of Baylor University. He preached in many of the churches throughout the State of Texas. Paul died in December of 2016 at the age of 83. In 2014, Paul answered this challenging  question: How do you make the most of the rest of your life? Here is how he answered it:

  1. Keep your balance/Psalm 39:4-7
  2. Make the most of your life/Philippians 3:13-14
  3. Honor Jesus/Luke 2:25-35
  4. Grow Old Gracefully/Isaiah 46:4
  5. Hang On During Hard Times/Job:13:15
  6. Trust the Lord and Don’t Worry/Matthew 6:25-34
  7. Watch Your Money/Deuteronomy 6:10-12
  8. Be A Good Neighbor/Luke 10:25-37
