Al, I have finished the Th.M. and am nearly finished with the Th.D. After that, I'll double back to complete my masters with Liberty. I'll probably continue doing some work through various programs until I go to glory. With changing circumstances in ministry and increasing costs at Liberty, I have missed out on some real blessings through the years by insisting on accredited programs. When I went through Luther Rice, it was still unaccredited. From a review of the current catalog, I think they had a more useful program back then. When I first began at Baptist Bible College, it was still unaccredited. When it did receive accreditation, it also became less practical for the kinds of things done on a regular basis in the ministry. Before accreditation, Luther Rice was producing men like Charles Stanley, Jerry Vines, etc. All of them commented on how it benefited their sermon preparation and ministry generally. Baptist Bible College produced a generation of church planting heroes of the faith, but that was back before accreditation. At Andersonville, my only real complaint is that the quality is very inconsistent from course to course. I would have also preferred more writing requirements in the Bible courses. But I still believe I received more than my money's worth. Of course, their anti-Calvinist emphasis is also interesting to me because it sharpens me to re-examine arguments and issues that they introduce. I'm also very thankful to know that there are also plenty of courses out there on the Net for free such as those through www.biblicaltraining.org. Most of their professors are world-class. Have a great day in Jesus!
