So sad to see this... He was a great man who did a lot to further the traditional role of the Christian statesman in our national leaders.

I was sad to hear that though it wasn’t unexpected. I enjoyed watching his program on occassion. The christian church is losing alot of good men who have helped build the church here in this country. A year or so ago TIME or Newsweek had an article about the top 50 evangelicals. It was worth noting that a number of these people were over 65 or 70 years of age. Ten or 15 years from now we’ll be losing alot of these people. I pray the church in this country can raise up men and women to carry to banner of faith.

One of the few televangelists who would stand firm and discuss the forbidden topics with a biblical perspective on evolution, abortion and the secular media.

I’m sorry to hear this. I listen to the program every day at 11:30. He did a lot for me and others who were lost like me. We’ll miss you Dennis James. One day I hope to shake your hand. Until then, Josh

May he rest in peace.

He really was a pearl among lots of swine. The Crouches, B. Hinn to name a few.

A rare one, he brought no scandal to the cause of Christ, only honor and dignity.

He was a true servant of God.

And Arthur, I'm one of the few left that realize how important it is to ping you.

I couldn't help it, I swear!:D

It seems that Everything and Everyone Good is passing away around me!

Hang in there; afterall, Pastor Kennedy's faith and ours is in Jesus, not man. We all look to our Savior and He will never fail us.

Oh, thank you so much, Mr. Posting Policeman! I’m so glad you caught those awful dupes!

-—— D. James Kennedy was one of a kind , and he will be missed. I have fallen away from the church somewhat in the last few years, but I know enough to say he definitely was the real deal. I remember his interview with Johnny Cash a while back- it made my heart soar. What a good and decent man.———

I hope Coral Ridge Ministries continues to run his shows. He was very knowledgeable on the Constitution and he despised those who work to subvert it, most notably the ACLU.
