ACWORTH, GA — Marshall Reinhardt celebrated his 100th birthday the way you might expect a retired pastor to do so – he stood in the pulpit and boldly preached the Word of God. In a strong and unwavering voice, Reinhardt told members of Awtrey-Westville Baptist Church in Acworth, pastored by his son Tommy Reinhardt, about the goodness of Jesus.
Reinhardt was born in Enigma, GA, on December 1, 1924. In 1945, he married Ruth Kelley, who passed away in 2002. They have two sons, four grandchildren, three great-grandchildren, and one great-great-grandchild.
Tommy Reinhardt introduced his father with a passage from Deuteronomy 32, “’Remember the days of old; consider the years of many generations; ask your father, and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you.’ … I’ve been blessed to be able to ask my father a lot of things over the years. He was very helpful before Google.”
The pastor encouraged the younger members of the congregation to seek wisdom from their elders, and the older members to impart their faith to their children. “If you have grandchildren and children,” he said, “open your hearts to them. Let them know what you believe and why you believe it.” More Here
