A Need to Stand in the Gap

This year has seen the passing of two Giants of the Faith. Dr. Duane Gish of Institute for Creation Research (ICR) and Dr. Dave Hunt of The Berean Call (TBC) have gone home to be with the Lord.

Dr. Gish was a champion of debate. He has been compared to Thomas Huxley in his skills. Many have referred to him as "Creation's Bulldog" (a reference to Huxley as "Darwin's Bulldog"). He authored many books, including Evolution: The Fossils STILL Say No! and Letter to a Theistic Evolutionist. He will be greatly missed from the creationist ranks.

Dr. Dave Hunt was a champion of logic. He co-founded TBC with T. A. McMahon in order to combat the deadly influences creeping into the Church. He did a fantastic job! He wrote many books, including Judgment Day: Islam, Israel, and the Nations, Psychology and the Church, What Love Is This: Calvin's Misrepresentation of God, and Cosmos, Creator, and Human Destiny: Answering Dawkins, Darwin and the New Atheists. He is considered one of the greatest writers and thinkers of modern fundamentalism. He will be greatly missed.

What shall we do, now? Two giants have been taken home. It is time for us, the younger Christians, to start filling in the gaps. The Lord's work has not finished yet. There is still much to do.
