Praise God for an amazing man of God that has helped so many through his lifetime down here.
Now he is in a totally amazing place that we can not comprehend but Jesus promised to them that have accepted Him as their Lord and Savior which we trust,hope and live for.
This life down here is but a vapor that appeareth and is gone so very soon we will be with Bobby Roberson again Forever and ever,
Amen.
Brother in Christ

So sorry for the your loss of a dear wonderful love one. I have listen to his preaching is I was a kid. yes it is 08/21/2018. I just found out that this dear man of God is in heaven. I have tapes of his preaching that my sweet Mommy would tape off BBN and mail them to me in Michigan. Well Mom is in heaven and that was 6 years ago. Thank God for all the preaching messages. My favorite is "when the battery go dead". God Bless you all.

I have known Dr. Robinson for over 30 years and when I was on the Sword of the Lord Staff was able to preach with him many times.
It is Heavens gain and our loss for now.
God bless you family and Gospel Light Church.

Bro. Bobby was the most humble, kind and caring preacher. I was privileged enough to have been led to the Lord by him in 1999. We will miss him greatly. Thought and prayers for the family

Bro. Bobby Roberson was one of the finest men I have known. Besides being an outstanding minister to thousands of people, he was an humble person, always reaching out to help others. Heaven has gained a servant who was an example to all of us of how a Christian should be. He never waivered from his commitment to Christ!

As a member of Marion Avenue Baptist Church in Washington, Iowa, I owe many thanks to Pastor Bobby Roberson for the love, guidance, & training he invested into our former Pastor, Larry Brown. Without him, this church would not be here and thousands of lives including mine would not have been changed. As the legacy continues with our current Pastor, Joseph Brown, many lives are saved, changed, and eternally secure due to the direct influence of Pastor Bobby Roberson.

Brother Bobby was a Master Storyteller who easily had your attention in a manner so warm and genuine, with no doubt that the Holy Spirit was his guide in life. His personal, folksy demeanor was purely captivating, allowing everyone he came in contact with to know they had a friend. Praying for the family to know "Peace, Be Still..." and the great Church at Gospel Light to know their Choice Servant is now Home. Blessings, Always...

Brother Bobby was a wonderful pastor and will be truly missed. If we could see him now he has been made whole, walking streets of gold, singing in the heavenly choir, meeting up with loved ones gone before him, but most of all he is rejoicing with our heavenly Father. Our prayers are with the family during this difficult time. We love you all!
