Harry Reeder and Tim Keller, RIP

I was in the PCA for seven years. It was where I did my pastoral internship and was under the care of Presbytery. Some of the wisest and most precious voices in those early days came from fruitful voices in the denomination.

In two days, the PCA lost two of their most esteemed grandfathers. Our Lord took Rev. Dr. Harry Reeder in a car accident, and today, after a long battle with cancer, Rev. Dr. Tim Keller is now with the Lord (1950-2023).

Both men were committed Christians, Presbyterians, and Churchmen. They were faithful to the end. I give thanks to God for these godly statesmen and what they contributed to the Church.

O Almighty God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, who by a voice from heaven didst proclaim, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord: Multiply, we beseech thee, to those who rest in Jesus the manifold blessings of thy love, that the good work which thou didst begin in them may be made perfect unto the day of Jesus Christ. And of thy mercy, O heavenly Father, grant that we, who now serve thee on earth, may at last, together with them, be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; for the sake of thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
