Today, I had an enjoyable lunch with my friend, Dr. Kevin DeYoung, who I had the privilege of preaching for some years back when he served in Lansing, Michigan. For the last six years, he has been serving as the senior pastor of Christ Covenant Church (2,000 members, with about 1,500 attending on a Sunday morning) in Matthews, North Carolina, and as associate professor of systematic theology for RTS in Charlotte, North Carolina. After lunch, we did a quick stop to see the beautiful Christ Covenant Church building (external view: photo 1; internal view: photo 2). I look forward to preaching for him here next year, D.V. Pray for God’s blessing on his influential ministry at CCC, RTS, and throughout the Reformed world.
With God’s help and your prayers, I made it through teaching 26 hours in the last three days—24 of those being for my Puritan Theology class for the Doctor of Ministry students at Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS) in Charlotte. Just four more hours to go tomorrow morning.
