Today Dr. Perkins came to speak at Regent.
I was impressed by his love for the Bible and his humble spirit. He challenged us at Regent to think in depth about the issues of alienation from each other and how the Gospel calls us not only to reconciliation with God, but also our neighbors. It was also great to hear about how content he was with his life’s work. You don’t hear that very often. It was great to listen to a man that has lived his life committed to his convictions and living them out.
My wife was impressed by his insightful observations of the Arab world. She feels like most North American Christians do not understand the implications of Western culture and foreign policy on missions in the Middle East.
