The Legacy of Dr. D. James Kennedy
I found out today that Dr. D. James Kennedy of Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church has gone on to be with the Lord this morning. He passed away in his sleep at approximately 2:15 A.M. at his home. This is a bitter sweet situation.
From Dr. Al Mohler’s blog:
The death of Dr. D. James Kennedy is yet another reminder of what the hymn writer Isaac Watts saw when he wrote that “time, like an ever rolling stream, bears all its sons away.” Dr. Kennedy died this morning at his home in Ft. Lauderdale. He had been out of the public eye since suffering a significant cardiac arrest in January.
In his latest blog, Dr. Albert Mohler offers his thoughts on what Dr. Kennedy meant to the cause of Christ–as well as some personal reflections on their friendship. Read more from Dr. Al Mohler’s blog, which is often updated several times a day.
More details from the Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church website.

Among the Kennedy’s today there sits an empty chair.
Dr. D. James Kennedy passed away this day. My wife and I affectionately called him Dr. High-Church. This we did because he was quite the Presbyterian minister, liturgical and all. We are just plain ole’ folks – Baptists. Yet we loved to listen to him preach. We would watch the Coral Ridge Hour each Saturday night. He will be missed.
In 2 Samuel 3:38 – King David, upon hearing about the news of Abner, the righteous man who was head of King Saul’s army, said:
“Do you not know that a prince and a great man has fallen this day in Israel?”
Such too can be said about Dr. D. James Kennedy – Know today that a prince and a great man has fallen among the Christians!
So long Dr. High-Church. You will be missed but not forgotten on this earth.

D James Kennedy is home with the Lord. I often saw him on TV but is wasn’t until I saw the video Amazing Grace: The History and Theology of Calvinism that I realized how strongly he was Reformational.
