In this concluding session for the church library and media staff Dr. McIntyre spoke of the mountain top experiences of this week long conference and then the return to the responsibilities of home and work. There are ups and downs in the Christian experience and God equips us on what He wants us to do.  

Dr. McIntyre began this session asking all those present to close their eyes and picture themselves back in their bed this morning. He then asked them to picture every door they had gone thru from the time of getting up until entering the room they were in then. He then asked them to think of the most beautiful door they had ever seen or gone thru. From this illustration Brother McIntyre quoted Jesus who said that He was the door and whoever enters thru Him would be saved. Jesus is the door that transforms us. Dr. McIntyre challenged the group to pray, "Help me to be a door thru which someone can find Jesus and find new life in Him."

Dr. McIntyre was introduced for this session with a very humorous, touching and most interesting introduction with stories about Brother McIntyre's children, grandchildren and his late wife Sue.

The Scripture passage from the book of Ezekiel is from a book of measurements which can be applied to different facets of one's life. If you are living in a desert situation a river of prayer can be so helpful. Dr. McIntyre told of lady from when he served as the Associate Pastor at Bellevue Baptist Church under Dr. Robert G. Lee. This lady, Jesse Parker, was known as the lady of prayer. She was the one people always went to with prayer needs. 

In conclusion Dr. McIntyre expressed his desire that each person at this conference would leave swimming in deeper waters than when they came with a deeper experience with God. If they were living in a desert experience in their lives he challenged them to let the water flow. The water God provides. 

Dr. McIntyre spoke from John 14:1-6 where Jesus told the disciples to let not their hearts be troubled in order to  prepare them for His upcoming crucifixion. Verses of great truth and comfort for all those who love the Lord.

As Brother McIntyre began the first of six messages to the Library Media workers from churches in the convention, he presented a fascinating devotion on our "hands." The world is fascinated with hands from the hands of chubby babies, to the hands of surgeons, to the hands of musicians, to the hands of laborers, to the hands gifted in sign language, to the hands in prayer. The hands of Jesus are the most expressive and wonderful hands we can know. From his hands in the manger, to his hands as a carpenter, to the hands that pulled the sinking Peter from the rolling waves, and finally to the nail pierced hands of the crucifixion and resurrection. These are the that hands that wiped away the sins of the world for those who accept Him and now the hands that intercede to the Father for us. And now we thank the Lord for the hands of the library/media workers here this day who handle thousands of books and materials and perform ministry to every person in their congregation. For them we are thankful.

Dr. McIntyre began this final devotional session by sharing two unusual names for Baptist Churches. The first was Hell Hole Swamp Baptist Church in South Carolina and the second was Tight Wad Baptist Church in Missouri. He then began his last message by reading about Abraham in Genesis as he breathed his life. It was said He died full of years and a good man. There are four other Biblical characters who were described the same way. Brother McIntyre then talked on the lives of Isaac, Job, Jehodiah, and David. Then as the conference closed Brother McIntyre encouraged the attendees to live the full life, the overflowing life in the midst of whatever difficulties came their way and be stabilized by their faith in the Messiah and with friends and fellows Christians who add their strength to their strength and make life worth living.

This fourth devotional thought of the week centers around the story of Isaac building an altar, pitching a tent around it, and digging a well. Though the recording of this message is incomplete we do learn from Brother McIntyre the altar represents the necessity of our coming face to face with God and in our heart to adore Jesus Christ. See episode 107 where Brother McIntyre preached this same sermon at First Baptist Church in Jackson, Tennessee.

In answer to the question as to what you are doing with your salvation Dr. McIntyre challenged everyone to not ignore, forget or neglect it. It is the most precious thing our Heavenly Father has given us. Look for the opportunities given you to share it and give it away. Don't go to the gates of Heaven and not have someone say they are there because you shared Jesus with them. Treasure your salvation as your highest and best possession.  

For this second devotional message Brother McIntyre shared how marvelous it is when Jesus enters into our lives and when we are honest with Him and let Him deal with us that life is not static or negative. Don't lose the excitement of the Christian life. Only Jesus can take the negatives of our lives and turn it into positives that will bring glory to Him.

Brother McIntyre also shared during this devotional stories about his two grandsons, Addison and Aaron, and also his wife Sue.

Dr. McIntyre was speaking for the week at the Glorieta Baptist Conference Center. He spoke of how there are millions of people lonesome and without friendship. He just finished serving with the Baptist World Alliance where he traveled all over the world and made so many new friends. He stated that there are seven distinctive marks of Christian friendships. 

1. Mutual love for God and each other

2. Patience

3. Unselfishness

4. Never stops being a friend when discovering faults

5. Seeks the highest good for his friend

6. Sympathetic 

7. Caring

Friendships with Jesus, in Jesus and with each other is a rare treasure to hold in our hands and live out in our lives.
