I am sad at the loss of this great man of God, but I am happy for Dr. Kennedy in that he is now with Jesus. I’m sure Dr. Kennedy has a lot of crowns to lay at his feet. My prayers go out to his family.
Tremendous man. He greatly influenced me and my thinking on Chrstian worldview. I have used his materials and ideas constantly. He really made his life count for eternity. Puts [eople like me to shame. I better get myself in gear.
OMG!!! I LOVED him and will MISS him!! He was a FABULOUS CHRISTIAN!!
Dr. D. James Kennedy was a great man. He will be very missed. May God bless his family in their time of sorrow.
He is in heaven now, that is for sure.
He was wonderful. Prayers for his family. How wonderful that he is home with the Lord he so loved.
His little books on Christian basics were very well written. His work will be read by many young people and that will continue many years from now.
Rest in peace, Dr. Kennedy and may God’s courage and comfort be bestowed on all who loved him.
Geez...if he retired Aug. 26th...and died today...I gues he knew he was sick or something.
Nonetheless, his suffering is over. Welcome Home, Dr. K!
Prayers up!

FORT LAUDERDALE — - Conservative leader the Rev. D. James Kennedy died Wednesday morning, sources at his Coral Ridge Presbyterian Church reported today.
The pastor died “peacefully, in his sleep, at home” around 3 a.m., according to the Rev. Ronald Siegenthaler, executive minister at the 10,000-member church. By his side was Anne, his wife of five decades.
Kennedy, who also founded a broadcast ministry, a seminary and an annual series of conservative conferences, suffered multiple complications ever since Dec. 28, when he suffered arrhythmia and cardiac arrest. He never fully recovered, despite a rigorous regimen of physical therapy in Florida and Michigan.
His retirement was announced Aug. 26 by his daughter, Jennifer, who spoke at a joint gathering of all three Sunday services. The church also announced plans for a tribute to Kennedy’s life and career, set for 11 a.m. on Sept. 23.
Funeral arrangements are pending.
His proponency of dominionist/reconstructionist theology (whether real or assumed) will be the main theme of any MSM obit
Well said; It seems God sees fit to take all of our major Christian leaders from the latter half of the 20th to heaven!
First Falwell, then Bill Graham’s Wife, and now Dr. Kennedy goes to be with His Lord!!!...
GOd bless his family. The World could use more men like him.
