To the family: my heartfelt condolences. I am a former member of New Beginning Full Gospel Baptist Church. I was able to hold on to my faith because of Bishop James H. Morton, Sr.at a troublesome time in my life. His messages were exactly what I needed to hear, followed by music and songs to strengthen me. "...
Looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith"... Hebrews 12:2. His leadership was instrumental in helping me to "keep the faith." My condolences are late, yet sincere. RIP servant of the Lord, until you are awakened by the sound of the trump to be caught up in the air by the Lord Himself and taken to your heavenly home.

My deepest sympathy to the Morton family. I never had the privilege to meet Bishop Morton face to face, but I watched him preach often on TV and I listened to him sing on YouTube. He carried a powerful anointing! My favorite song to hear him sing is "Shine On Me!" This song always carried me into the presence of almighty God! I pray that the God of all comfort will comfort you all as you adjust to life without the beloved Bishop. Embrace the memories, I am sure he left many! God bless you all!
