My thoughts and prayers are with the family at this time of such great loss and sorrow.

Dr. Balentine holds a special place in our hearts - he baptized Parker and married us in 1967 at Northwood Baptist Church. My mother, Gladys Herbert, was secretary at the time and held Dr. Balentine in great regard. I'm sure they have greeted each other in their Heavenly home! Our prayers and thoughts are with you.

Our hearts are saddened with the death of George. We were privileged to be part of his family through his marriage to Mary Sue McDonald Balentine. He was a gifted minister and wonderful man. Our prayers continue for his family.

Scholarship in a man of God is important, but it means little without the ability to convey the gospel effectively.
Dr. Ballentine was truly gifted in his intellect and ability. He touched a generation at FBC with his insight and talent, and the messages he imparted to us will live forever.
