Hendrick's List
Contributed by Sermon Central on Feb 10, 2009 (message contributor)
HENDRICK’S LIST
HOWARD HENDRICKS was popular seminary professor for many years. Many young men were taught by him over the years. Hendricks keeps a little black book with him wherever he goes. He writes in there the names of men whom he taught in seminary classes who have fallen out of the ministry through affairs and sins. The list grew to well over a hundred names.
Hendricks was looking through the many names written down and was trying to determine any common thread between them. Finally he realized what each had in common. When he had them in his class and as he knew them in the years after they all had the same thing: A HAUGHTY SPIRIT (pride and arrogance).
(From a sermon by Davon Huss, "Moral Madness" 1/13/2009)
