Excellence in All Things and All Things to God's Glory: The Legacy of Dr. D. James Kennedy
Albert Mohler
President, Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
The death of Dr. D. James Kennedy is yet another reminder of what the hymn writer Isaac Watts saw when he wrote that "time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all its sons away." Dr. Kennedy died this morning at his home in Ft. Lauderdale. He had been out of the public eye since suffering a significant cardiac arrest last December 28.
James Kennedy founded the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church in 1959, the year I was born. Within just a few short years the church became one of the nation's largest Presbyterian congregations. Along the way he established a host of affiliated ministries. He taught thousands of Christians how to share their faith, one on one, through Evangelism Explosion. He reached millions through his television ministry, "The Coral Ridge Hour." He educated generations of children and youth through Westminster Academy and trained ministers through Knox Theological Seminary.
He was a visionary with few peers. The motto inscribed on a flanking wall of the church's massive sanctuary certainly made an impression on me as a young man: "Excellence in All Things and All Things to God's Glory."
Some friends and associates called him "Jim," but to the rest of the world he was Dr. D. James Kennedy --

This reminds me how I praised God, last Tuesday night, when there were at least 3 Christian TV programs encouraging evangelism & honouring evangelists
For many years, whenever I checked ads in Christian mags, there was not one for an evangelist: do pray that God calls folk to sponsor evangelists
Local folk may like to know that I'm only allowed to earn £20 per week without affecting my Benefits, & with the hours I put in, both here & in precinct promos, all over NW UK, do pray God will lead folk to safeguard my time for God's Word & work, OK?
God bless!
