I had Dr. Horn in undergrad at NIU, and I always thought that he wind up back at BJU in some aspect down the road. I’m happy for him and his family, and wish him all the best. Central is losing a terrific professor and a good man. I hope he stays involved with Central in some area - teaching block classes or something.

This is an outstanding appointment. Sam has experience as a senior pastor, vice-president of a college, president of a seminary, has two earned doctorates, and is a fine expositor. I think he will be an excellent complement to Steve Pettit. My prayer is that we can have a healthy fundamentalism. Steve and Sam, I believe, will take us in that direction.
