Stacey and I were just wondering ...Fascinating Pop. Stacey and I were just wondering aloud minutes ago whether you and mom were on campus yet. What a sobering event that must have been to the campus. I wonder if there is any discernable connection between that death and the revival that came 3 years later--i.e., students who found 1970 to be a life-turning year for them that would have seen the seeds of that year's revival actually sown in 1967. Perhaps there are some. I have Dr. Edman's "The Disciplines of Life" and though the alliteration of the chapters (all 30 chapters strart with D) is distracting it is clear God had gotten a hold of his heart and given him, like Paul, a passion and a mission to discharge.Dane Ortlundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17583355241279798089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33057643.post-83323155784026896972007-11-29T17:03:00.000-06:002007-11-29T17:03:00.000-06:00I was on campus that day, though not in chapel. T...I was on campus that day, though not in chapel. The freshmen football team had a special team meal during that hour in anticipation of a game later that day. When I walked into chemistry class minutes later, the stunned silence of the other students alerted me that something had happened.<BR/><BR/>If I had been in my seat in chapel that day, I doubt I would have listened. I loved the Lord but I was a not a serious man, to the extent I should have been. Listening to this recording now, for the first time ever, I understand the convictions he was aiming to impart and the patterns of behavior he was proposing. It makes sense now. It commands my respect.<BR/><BR/>Thank God for worthy leaders like V. Raymond Edman. Thank God for his patience with me. Thank God that I too will soon be in the presence of the King - not because I deserve it but because Jesus died to save me from "the punishment of eternal destruction, away from the presence of the Lord" (2 Thess 1:9).<BR/><BR/>DadAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
