I'll chime in...
In no particula...Intriguing. I'll chime in...<br /><br />In no particular order of significance:<br /><br />1. Gen. Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson<br />His life was God's possession in his eyes.<br /><br />2. Martin Luther<br />Courageous and able to take a stand.<br /><br />3. Thomas Jefferson<br />Well spoken and able to turn debate to his thinking.<br /><br />4. Gen. George S. Patton<br />Understood his enemies, friends, and how to take action when and where needed.<br /><br />5. Athanasius <br />Stood for truth no matter the cost.<br /><br />6. Bear Bryant<br />Knew how to organize groups of people for the common goal, and then motivate to achieve that goal.<br /><br />7. Karl Barth<br />Stood against tyranny in forms of liberalism and governments. Stirred controversy by daring to challenge conventional thought patterns whether he was wrong or right but was willing to change his position when proven biblically to be correct.<br /><br />8. A. W. Tozer<br />Stirred his congregations and readers to better understanding of worship of God.<br /><br />9. A. W. Pink<br />Knew how to study the written word of God and communicate the same.<br /><br />10. Patrick Henry<br />Passionately strove to secure liberty he equated with God.Douloshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03025847784387276770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563948728142405444.post-89153662743890798142009-06-06T21:25:50.981-04:002009-06-06T21:25:50.981-04:00Uh...how do you know they're not dead - have y...Uh...how do you know they're not dead - have you checked in on them in the last few minutes?<br /><br />My bad.Tom 1sthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16281465700829698800noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563948728142405444.post-78894459634045409372009-06-06T16:47:54.490-04:002009-06-06T16:47:54.490-04:00Dead, Tom...Dead People. Last I checked DA Carson...Dead, Tom...Dead People. Last I checked DA Carson and NT Wright are living. Once I read your list I was like--doh, how do I not think of DA Carson...then I remembered I said dead. I am not familiar with a couple ofthe people you mentioned...think i've heard the name but haven't read any of their stuff.<br /><br />Curt,<br />Spurgeon would be quite a bit of fun to hang out with...especially if you liked the smell of cigars.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034192017775511612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3563948728142405444.post-86369977752002819872009-06-06T15:03:30.879-04:002009-06-06T15:03:30.879-04:00I'm not sure how my list would go.
