Dr. D. James Kennedy passes into eternity
Even though I'm not a Presbyterian, even though I'm not related to him or have ever met him, I mourn for our loss of a great man of God, Dr. D. James Kennedy.
I have greatly appreciated and personally benefited from many of his endeavors such as the books "What if Jesus had never been born" and "What if the Bible had never been written". Along with apologetics like that, Dr. Kennedy was involved in multiple efforts to expose the intellectual and societal dangers of Darwinism (evolution). Also, much of his work in the political sphere to advance religious freedom (especially for Christians) and humanitarian concerns (via advancing moral conservatism) has been a real inspiration to me. ... And I haven't even mentioned his huge contribution in rallying the church to be a witness with his Evangelism Explosion program!
I think overall that his life helped me to be a man who walks by faith, courage and conviction. We need more like him. May I be one of them.
