D. James Kennedy, author, theologian, broadcaster, biblical scholar, pastor of the 10,000-member "Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church" in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and founder of the highly influential Coral Ridge Ministries, suffered a major heart attack last night and is in grave condition, ministry officials tell WorldNetDaily.
Since 1973, Dr. Kennedy has been a leading pro-life voice, speaking out on behalf of the unborn and in opposition to the atrocity of abortion. The theology that led him to develop Evangelism Explosion (can you answer these questions?) also enabled Kennedy to speak confidently about the intrinsic value of each human being. Recently he wrote,
Christ honored women and did more to exalt women than anyone in history. We must also seek to protect them from sexual exploitation, including abortion. Christ valued children and tenderly blessed them. We, too, must love them into the world, because all life is created in the image of God.Rev. Rick Philips, provides an update on the Reformation21Blog,
I want to thank everyone who is praying for Dr. D. James Kennedy. His condition is improved, though very serious. I spent a good deal of time with him today, praying and reading Scripture. He recognized me and was clearly responsive, although his condition remains very serious. Please pray for continued improvement and a full restoration to health. I was able to assure him of the prayers of many Christians and he was able smile in response.It is my sincere hope that our readers will pray for Dr. Kennedy and his family in this time of need.
Most of the comments in Dennis' local community paper wish him to die soon. Not like President Ford whom all feel sad for. Kennedy is self-serving and arrogant. His church is an affront to God in its very size as to try to impress God (we always say, god keeps sticking his toe on the steeple and it has him rather upset). If this man were truly a Christian, then ALL comments should be positive as those for ill policemen, firefighters, teachers, etc in our community. He is not loved by very many.
"Most of the comments in Dennis' local community paper wish him to die soon"
That's not very Christian of them.
"If this man were truly a Christian, then ALL comments should be positive"
Right, just like how all of the comments were positive during the Crucifixion of Jesus.
