Thank you for the commendation though I fear I hardly deserved to be accorded such recognition. Having come from the long rows of cotton in Arkansas, I feel more like the body shop mechanic from eastern Kentucky, who called himself “a jackleg historian.” It makes one feel good to see people devoted to research and scholarship that honors the written word which the Living Word called “the word of God.” My prayer is that such great works shall come out of such faculty that they will occupy the attention of God’s people for centuries to come. My prayer for a Third Great Awakening is for one that shall begin, hopefully, in our generation, reaching every soul on earth, and continuing for a 1000 generations (anywhere from 20,000-1,000,000 years and a millions of planets). Suggest the use of Edwards’ Humble Attempt, Owen’s Death of Death in The Death of Christ, for verses that can be pleaded as promises to that end.

Your description of Dr. Robinson is priceless. I mean, it is a real treasure. I’ve always appreciated you, but now you’ve got “most favored nation” status! And thank you for your encouragement, and your exhortation to pray for a third awakening. You are “spot on.”
