C.W. Brister

I was saddened today to read in Baptist Press about the passing of Dr. C.W. Brister, longtime professor of pastoral ministry at Southwestern Seminary. I classes under Dr. Brister at both the undergraduate and graduate levels and learned to greatly appreciate him. He was truly a Christian gentleman. I will always remember the beautiful prayers he would offer before class. I'm thankful now he can pray before the throne of God. For more on Dr. Brister, here's the story on BP.

I also read today of the passing of another retired SWBTS prof: Dr. Dan Kent, who taught Old Testament for many years. I never had Dr. Kent, but I know of many who did. The giants are falling.
