Christians Are Not Like Dawkins Would Have Us Believe

By Malgwyn | October 30, 2009

I’m not a Baptist but I married a Baptist - her parents were Wesleyan Methodist - for their family the Baptist chapel was nearer. I have attended a few Baptist services in my time - and some preachers go on for an hour but the congregations don’t seem to mind, and at times I haven’t minded either. I remember that being so at Eden Baptist in Cambridge back in the early eighties (that was the old Eden). I did go to Guildford Baptist once to hear David Pawson, with my wife’s nephew, (he now stands 6′7″ in his own Evangelical pulpit up north), but disappointingly, someone else preached that Sunday. We did see Cliff Richard so that was a consolation to him! Among my various ‘speaker visits’ I’ve travelled to All Souls, Langham Place to hear John Stott, and even had the privilege of hearing the late Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones in his ‘retirement’ years.I have discovered another Baptist preacher - Southern Baptist - retired - sort of. I don’t think preachers really retire! I read him on the Internet - he does not give you half a sermon with a link to the rest if you pay your fee! In fact, they are not sermons - perhaps sermonettes? His name is Joe McKeever. He is one of these sane preachers who give good advice from his own experience to other preachers, and I feel like I’m listening in, getting a picture of how Christians relate inside and to those outside the church, not at all like Richard Dawkins would have us believe about Christians and Christianity. I don’t know when this one was written but McKeever’s blogs are not an hour long. Constructive and instructive, that’s McKeever:
