Moreover, I require the students to go online and find a used copy of the first edition since it is no longer in print. It's a great textbook. Sincerely, Denny Burk Dear GLW (in #10),

I’m still using Machen’s textbook in the Greek classes that I teach now. Moreover, I require the students to go online and find a used copy of the first edition since it is no longer in print.

It’s a great textbook.

Sincerely,
Denny Burk

After we couldn't sit in his classes at Tech anymore (some rule about you had to sign up for the class as an audit), he let me and my girlfriend come over to his house. I came for the Greek, but I stayed for the Biblical mentoring. I will never forget how Mr. Lipscomb invited students into his house for Greek lessons.

I had forgotten that you had taken Greek from him as well. It was truly a blessing to know Rev. Lipscomb. I appreciate your good word. Did you notice that both John Ramares (#3) and Barry Joslin (#8)commented above? Your former employees are present and accounted for! I hope all is good with you and yours. Sincerely, Denny Greg,

Thanks to you, I knew him and sat on his porch with him. I, too, had the joy of reading Greek with Mr. Lipscomb (sometimes under a little lamp on an old chair). I simply would say that I am inspired again to take up his message. He told me the greatest audience is one. He always liked one on one teaching and instruction. We tend to think we need a crowd. Your post in honor of Mr. Lipscomb reminds us otherwise. Blessings to all, Greg. Denny,

I, too, owe my gratitude to several men who took the time to invest themselves in my life, although they were much too important, in my mind, to spend their efforts on me. I think these are men that God puts in our path to help guide and bring up the next generation of leaders. Andrew Denny,

Nevertheless, I was in Ruston long enough to know about Bernice! Thanks, Denny Brad,
