DEAN AND LAURA VANDRUFF [new 7/96]
http://www.acts17-11.com/
The style of teaching you see here was encouraged by Don Wallace when he assigned the topic of "Repentance" to Dean VanDruff as feature speaker at a youth camp in Kansas City back in 1990. Thinking this was going to go over like a "lead balloon" with the youth, the Lord showed Dean the _gift_ of repentance, and it has been the basis of the VanDruff's teaching ever since. They just serve up a massive dose of Scripture, _stare at it_, and let God do His stuff. Perhaps the greatest influences Dean and Laura VanDruff's lives did not come from direct teaching, but from the crucible of relationships with others in the body of Christ. The ministry is non-denominational although the VanDruff's have experienced a wide variety of denominiations, including predominately Bible and Baptist church teaching. Provided at this site are the Acts 17:11 Bible Studies (which is detailed elsewhere in this section of the guide), Reflections and Snippets (containing articles such as Christ the Tiger, by Thomas Howard; Advent Hope, by A.W. Tozer; Meditation on the Great Commandment, by Israel Shema; Typology; Reflections on Prophecy; The Hand of the Lord; The Lure of False Doctrine; Reactions to the Holy Spirit; The Anointing; and, Christians and Conspiracy Theories), and another section on Articles and Humor. The site is orderly, the writing succinct, backed by ample Bible verses, a serious resource for serious Bible study and practical application to life. Recommended.
