Here is a lengthy, but interesting link that interviews Ruth Barnhouse and sheds some information on her father as well. The information on DGB is not all that flattering, so be aware, if he is one of your heroes. Heroes have clay feet sometimes.
I have always loved reading Donald Grey Barnhouse. His four volume set on Romans is with me right now.
Former U.S. Surgeon General C. Everett Koop, who attended the Tenth Presbyterian Church for more than twenty years, said of Barnhouse: "His authoritative voice held my attention, his physical appearance was arresting, and his preaching was teaching of the highest intellectual order ... I always marveled at the simplicity of the faith of this very intelligent and learned man."
Would Ruth have been the daughter who was sent up to her room for arguing with her father about the age of her grandmother?
ReplyDeleteLooks like Ruth was a born rebel from the get go, eloping and all that. The new religion of psychotherapy, complete with the auricular confessions to a therapist, has apparently replaced the authority of Scripture, the church, and pastoral counseling from Scripture.
ReplyDeleteThis movie looks like another blatant attempt to push the gay/lesbian/transgender propaganda and politically correct view over against the biblical standards established by God's moral law.

Charlie, you are probably right.
ReplyDeleteDonald Barnhouse, and James Boice, who succeeded him in the pulpit of Tenth Presbyterian, were two of the brightest lights among Reformed preachers in the 20th century, in my book.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree!
ReplyDelete...and they both had similar sounding voices.
Yes. Strong, manly Calvinistic voices. Same with John H. Gerstner and Albert N. Martin.
ReplyDeleteAnd same with Joyce Meyer...except for the Calvinist part.
ReplyDeleteOkay, the Joyce Meyer made me spew Mountain Dew on the inside of my helmet.
ReplyDeleteI am able to drink beverages through a tube. When I eat something I have to unlock and lift the front part of the helmet.
That gag made me gag on an oatmeal raisin cookie when I read it again.
