In Defense of deWitt

At The Aquila Report, Rev. Ken Pierce (PCA) has written a reply to a certain blog (that I will not link to) that has sought to drag Dr. deWitt's name through the mud. You can read Pierce's piece here. Rev. Pierce correctly notes the differences in Dr. deWitt's current denomination (the ARP) and his former denomination (the RCA):

What Seventh Reformed [Dr. deWitt's previous congregation] did was take a stand for historic Christian and Reformed orthodoxy in the midst of a denomination that had drifted away from those things --precisely the opposite of the current situation.

It is interesting to note that Dr. deWitt, in all the actions that led to him leaving the RCA, never sued the RCA--an example current members of the ARP could learn from.

So, it sounds to me that we in the ARP are blessed by the presence of Dr. deWitt, a man who has stood for the truth of the Gospel before and is now doing the same, again.
