I thought this was a teaching gig. I know I am provoked to love and good works. Thanks brother Alan.

Your careful, contextual lecture deserves a very wide audience amongst those who are serious about being the family of God.

I agree with the remarks of the forgoing commenters.

The message you delivered in that lecture moved me deeply because, until I retired, it was my own conviction, and, as a consequence uttered quite a few spontaneous “amens”..

I am thankful that, God willing, you have many years ahead of you to share what you have on your heart.

I enjoyed the Q&A also. There were other really good questions after class.

Eric,

Thanks. I try to keep the context of the letter / section in mind when I’m studying only a portion of a book.

I listened to the lecture and liked it a lot. I appreciate your desire to be biblical. The best part for me was the way you kept the context in mind when speaking.

I really enjoyed the lecture. I learned a lot and was edified. Especially enjoyed the Q&A segment.

If you have an opportunity to listen to the lecture, I’d love to hear your feedback.

Eric,

The last 25 minutes or so is a “q&a” time. The questions ranged from interpretation to implementation, but they were positive for the most part. Afterward, I also had several positive discussions with some students. I’m sure that many disagreed with me. If my lecture simply encouraged them to study the topic for themselves, then I’m happy.

-Alan

I’m curious as to the reactions within the class. Some of the things you discuss are certainly outside the bounds of the traditional SBC pastoral role, etc.

Were the students in agreement? Were there any objections? Could those with objections support what they were saying with scripture?

Thank you for making this available.

Looking forward to listening to the downloaded lecture.
