When it comes to being a seminary professor, I enjoy not just the teaching but also the watching. That is, I enjoy watching to see how God will use each of our grads in ministry over the years. It is a reminder that our labor has not been in vain.

In recent years, this has become a bit of a trend here at RTS Charlotte. While we have … Continue reading...

But, it is also a time of rich fellowship. One of the sustaining factors in the long slog of ministry is that we get to walk alongside brothers who are laboring in the same field. And General Assembly is a chance (in some cases, the … Continue reading...
