Joseph Bates was once challenged by a Methodist lay leader who attacked the doctrine of the Advent message and threatened to send Bates away and “began to talk about riding us [out of town] on a rail.” Bates shot back at the man’s challenge by saying, “We are ready for that sir. If you will put a saddle on it, we would rather ride than walk.”
Such was the character of the man who would eventually become a strong advocate for the Advent and the Sabbath. But before Bates would give himself over to the Advent cause, he lived a life that had little to do with faith and religion (click on the title or the player below to listen).
This week, Jesse Sias brings you the story behind the life and adventures of Joseph Bates and his journey to becoming a faithful servant of God.
