He was ordained in 1934 by Dr. J. Frank Norris (1877-1952; pastor of First Baptist Church, Fort Worth), at which time he became the pastor of Galilee Baptist Church of Dallas.

In the early 1940’s he taught a daily 15-station network radio program Crossroads Counselor, became an editor of The Differentiator, and was contributor to periodicals such as The Link, Revelation, Our Hope, Revelator, and War Cry.

He was among those who assisted A.E. Knoch (1874-1965) with various phases of work on the Concordant Version.
