Pastor Mazur was (is) a man of the Word. He testified that he was initially intimidated to share from the Bible because he was unschooled in the traditional sense. Yet the same Holy Spirit that inspired the writing of Scripture also inspires the reading of it. In this manner, through dependence on the Spirit, Bro. Bob became a skilled expounder of divine truth. I learned to study the Bible by hearing him preach -- the way he dug into the meaning of words, considered the historical context, drew ideas together from related passages, did studies of Biblical characters and events, found inspiration and application for current situations. He truly made the Word come alive for me. I still approach my own study of Scripture after the manner first modeled to me by Bro. Bob, beginning in 1980. For this and many other things, I am eternally grateful for the opportunity to be called to the church he pastored for so many years.
