[ # ] NOBTS Professor Challenges Gustav
August 28th, 2008 under Baptists, God

Joel Rainey’s blog is always very interesting. I wish I had his gentle and caring spirit. Today, a guest blogger, Dr. Jack Allen, a missions professor at NOBTS (New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary) laid down this challenge for Gustav:

So, I have a counterintuitive plan. I am challenging Gustav to finish what Katrina could not. Come on in brothah! I dare you. Bow up to Cat 5 and waltz right up the Mississippi. I do not care. You, Mr. Hurricane, cannot touch me, this city, or anyone in it without the express permission of your Creator. If He says to have a go at New Orleans, then fine. Otherwise, stop making people scared. We have better things to do with our time.

Very interesting approach.

Thanks for your comment NickTB. To know me is to love me. Oh, wait, you don’t possess either. I’m amazed at how adept people who claim to accept God’s sovereignty deny it when it’s up in their faces. Blessing to all. We’re busy down here and do appreciate your prayers. JA

He doesn’t sound anything like the Missions professors I had. Dr. Bob Simmons and Dr. Jack Glaze were tremendous scholars and gentlemen.

I wondered if you knew any of the profs down there now or had regrets about not sticking around for a position to open up.
