Gary Webb rings a bell… did he go to BJU? I have preached for Tom Corkish once, I really enjoyed the ministry there. He is a fine guy and has built a strong work. I have a friend living there who attends his church now, I believe. And of course I have corresponded with some of these others online.

It is a blessing to have so many men to draw from as examples for our own works.

I have heard Minnick in person and on audio. I heard him now years ago at the Holiness Conference at Menominee Falls. I enjoy listening to his preaching. It is the type of preaching I like to listen to and really the kind of preaching I do, despite the fact that I started preaching a long time before I heard him.

I have some of my own favorite preachers, who preach expositionally, from independent Baptist churches with whom I fellowsip. Four of them are Gary Webb from Carrboro, NC, Thomas Smith in St. Clair, MO, James Love in Cincinnati, OH, and Bobby Mitchell in New Brunswick, Maine. All five of us come from completely different backgrounds. Those are four that immediately come to mind, but there are others. Dave Mallinak in Ogden, UT, Thomas Corkish preaches expositionally in SLC, UT, BJ Nordgren in Chicago, Jeff Voetglin teaches expositionally in his young adult SS class at Fairhaven. I can name a lot more.

I’ll look forward to hearing your report on the separation issue.

The answer to both questions is Yes. I am working on that part of the notes. Well, I should say that the answer to the first question is “some of them”. He has read some of my critiques and graciously spent some time with me privately as well as the public forum. I have to say that I am quite happy with his openness and his responses, although I would probably have done some things slightly differently. … There is more to come. Hopefully in the next few days.
