Our Beloved Richard M. Bennett
Now in the presence of the Lord
March 10, 1938 – September 23, 2019
The providence of God and the life of Richard Bennett
The life and ministry of Richard M. Bennett was truly a blessing and a precious gift from our gracious, sovereign Lord.
Richard was an extremely rare individual, especially in the 21st century. He possessed the character traits that are nearly impossible to find in our day all combined together in the heart and mind of one man. Those traits included an unwavering passion and determination to boldly proclaim the undiluted truth of Christ Jesus, His Gospel and His Word, and to boldly expose the cunning and damning deceptions of Christ’s disguised enemies. All this was pouring out from the palpably humble, meek, tender, compassionate and loving heart of a gentle servant who would much rather see the never-dying souls of men, women and children spared
When Richard’s words offend, it is the Gospel itself flowing from his speech that cuts his hearers, not anything ad hominem or unnecessarily offensive that sadly, all too often, accompanies the bold words of bold men whose egos tarnish any good they are seeking to accomplish.
A wonderful documentary on the life and ministry of Richard Bennett.
