DTS Today and Tomorrow:
Crossing the Great Wall into China
Dallas Theological Seminary
1924
In the fall of 1924, the first students
at what would later be called Dallas Theological
Seminary met to study under Dr. Lewis Sperry
Chafer. Dr. Chafer’s burden and vision to emphasize
expository preaching and teaching of the
Scriptures led to this inaugural class of thirteen
men.
A Conversation with the President and Academic Dean
DTS
Yesterday
and
Tomorrow
In this conversation with Kindred
Spirit, Dr. Mark Bailey, who has served
as president of Dallas Theological
Seminary since 2001, and Academic
Dean Dr. Mark Yarbrough talk about
the past and future of DTS.
Kindred Spirit: Let’s talk about the past. What stories
come to mind as you think of God’s hand sustaining DTS
throughout these nine decades?
Dr. Bailey: One that has been bantered about goes back
to Dr. Chafer’s time. One year several weeks before May
graduation, the leaders had a few days to decide whether
the school would continue.
Three people were awakened at 5 a.m. on a
Saturday—Dr. William Anderson, a Dallas pastor
instrumental in the Seminary’s founding; Dr. Chafer,
founder and first president; and a donor. None knew the
others were awakened, and each was impressed with
the need to pray about the burden the Seminary faced.
Only weeks later did they learn that all three had been
awakened at the same time.
It took the donor about two weeks to get the money
ready. And at the time it arrived, Dr. Lewis S. Chafer,
Dr. Rollin T. Chafer, Dr. C. Fred Lincoln, and Dr. Harry
Ironside prayed together on a Monday morning in the
office. After praying they sat for a few minutes in silence.
There came a knock at the door and a government bond for
$10,000 arrived from an unknown banker in Illinois.
Some folklore has developed around this narrative.
There was this story about a cattleman or a rancher.
Somebody retelling it probably preached that “God owns
continued on next page
1920s & ‘30s
In those early years DTS’s prayer and financial
supporters helped educate people such as J. Vernon McGee, who launched his Thru
the Bible radio program, which is still produced in more than one hundred
languages and broadcast daily to every continent. Those supporters also
helped make possible the education of Dr. J. Dwight Pentecost, who went on to
teach more than 10,000 DTS students over fifty-eight years.

the cattle on a thousand hills,” and that’s where cattle and
a Texas rancher came in.
But the real story had nothing to do with a cattleman
or a rancher. In reality, it had everything to do with “the
God who owns all” sovereignly working in the hearts
of a pastor, a president, and a donor. Three men prayed,
and one had the financial means to give what the school
needed to survive. In obedience, he sent it.
That story has been a faith-builder for many of us
throughout the years. The prompting of the Spirit and the
Lord’s provision at that time constituted a God-moment in
our school’s history. Stories of answered prayer and God’s
provision have continued across the decades.
Dr. Yarbrough: Another way I see God’s sustaining DTS is
through the faithfulness of the leaders whom he has led
here, including the one with us today—Dr. Bailey.
During Dr. Campbell’s administration, Dr. John
Walvoord transitioned from the president’s office back to
teaching, and I took a class from him on the doctrine of
the rapture. There were about twenty-five students, and
one guy had an attitude. He would challenge the professor,
and several people confronted him, but to no avail.
About six or seven weeks into the semester, I was
ready for Dr. Walvoord to put this student in his place.
But Dr. Walvoord just kept loving on him. Instead of
shredding the student’s little arguments and pet peeves,
Dr. Walvoord just kept loving him and coming back to the
text. When this student would have a hard attitude, Dr.
Walvoord would have a soft attitude. And that happened
all semester long. Eventually Dr. Walvoord won that man’s
heart. And in that exchange, I saw that we had a leader
who was concerned about the whole person.
I have seen that sort of character in the lives of all
the presidents whom I have had the opportunity to know.
The Lord has blessed Dallas Theological Seminary with
leaders dedicated to Christ.
Dr. Bailey: God used each of the four men who preceded
me in that each one brought something that DTS needed
at the time. What a courageous vision Dr. Chafer had!
He inaugurated a bold new departure in theological
education, and that departure was that the central
textbook would be the Bible—and not just the Bible, but
the whole Bible.
Dr. Walvoord brought theological clarity. He could
think quickly on his feet. Dr. Walvoord was a giant of a
man, tall in stature. He was a giant in spirituality as well,
but in intellect he was uniquely gifted.
Dr. Campbell brought DTS academic organization
and excellence. He brought us to accreditation, improved

Dallas Theological Seminary
Above: DTS began as “The Evangelical Theological College,” and its first campus was a
rented home. Its second campus, the Gaston estate on Dallas’s Swiss Avenue (pictured),
served as the school’s second home until 1928, when it was demolished after Stearns
and Davidson Halls were built on the site of the current campus.
Above: During the Seminary’s early years, the school had its own radio broadcast.
Dr. Ironside (left), one of the twentieth century’s most prolific Christian writers and
a core member of the visiting faculty, shares a broadcast with DTS founder and first
president Dr. Lewis Sperry Chafer.

inductive method of Bible study and
included every book of the Bible.
He believed the single word that
epitomizes the spiritual life is “grace.”
the quality of education, and saw to faculty development
for many years as the academic dean. He has also been a
great model by tenderly caring for his ailing first wife, Bea,
and now his second wife, Lavonne.
Dr. Swindoll gave DTS broader exposure to the
general public through his Insight for Living radio
broadcasts and the many books he has written. He is
skilled at offering contagious communication of God’s
truth with a heart for application.
As presidents, these four men had faith and trust in
God. They have been stellar models for me, and they have
provided a big wake behind the boat where I get to ski.
God and his grace have covered this ministry. I
shared with some businessmen this morning that God
owes us nothing. God doesn’t need to give us anything.
That he would choose to use any of us is a gift of grace.
Teaching here, administrating here, representing DTS,
teaching classes—I’ve never gotten over the fact that the
privilege to serve him is a gift from him. Grace.
Dr. Yarbrough: Not only grace, but also mercy. In his
letter to the Romans, Paul starts chapter 12 by saying, “in
view of God’s mercy. . . .” The great charge out of that text
is to present our bodies as living sacrifices. Doing so is
predicated on God’s mercy. All of the truth we love in that
wonderful passage finds its foundation in God’s mercy.
We can do nothing without him and what he has done. So
what motivates us is who God is and what he has done.
If we’re leading in our own strength, we’re in big trouble.
The grace and mercy of God are our foundation. And if that
is what drives DTS, we will continue to experience God’s
blessing.
KS: What other Scriptures or lines from hymns have
sustained and driven you?
Above: In DTS’s first two decades, professors were not paid full salaries; two-thirds of
faculty members’ wives worked to supplement family incomes. But by 1948, when
this photo was taken, giving had risen, and by 1951, donations had increased 400
percent.
1950s
Investments in DTS helped
educate Howard Hendricks, who taught at
DTS for sixty years, directly or indirectly
touching the lives of millions and shaping
many of the leading ministries in our world
today. He taught multitudes how to study
the Bible for themselves.
Above: In addition to his administrative and teaching ministries, Dr. John F.
Walvoord, the Seminary’s second president, wrote thirty-two books. He was best
known for articulating a dispensational, premillennial view of biblical prophecy.
Dr. Bailey: We’re here because of God’s faithfulness.
So “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” based on Lamentations
3:22–23, is always a moving hymn to me. And another
of my favorites says, “I know Whom I have believed and
am persuaded that He is able to keep that which I’ve
committed unto Him against that day.” It’s a paraphrase
from one of the epistles to Timothy from Paul (see 2 Tim.
1:12). I love knowing that the God I serve will do his will
and accomplish his purposes, and I can commit myself to
him because of what he’s committed to us. He has given
us so many promises that accompany our salvation,
empower our work in the church, and guarantee our hope
for the future. So those two hymns and the passages out of
which they echo are big ones for me.

1960s
Those who gave to DTS during the 1960s supported
the training of Chancellor Chuck Swindoll, whose Insight for Living (IFL)
radio broadcasts air worldwide more than 2,000 times each day. In
addition to English, listeners hear IFL broadcasts in six languages. David
Jeremiah also graduated in the 1960s, and his Turning Point ministry is
now heard on 2,500 radio stations and seen on TV in a potential 2.5
billion homes worldwide.

(right) loved to
tease the late
“Dr P,” who served
on the DTS faculty
for fifty-eight
years.
Another passage comes to mind, as well. It first
resonated with me at a point in my life when I was
teaching at a Bible college, and a speaker quoted from 1
Timothy. I heard, “But the goal of our instruction is love
from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere
faith,” (1:5, NASB), and I understood the difference
between the means and the ends for a Bible teacher. That
recognition changed my whole perspective. I saw that the
goal of teaching and preaching is life change—how we love
God and how we love others. Jesus said that on these two
hang all the Law and the Prophets. And so our motto that
appears in Greek on the Seminary seal (in translation)
says “preach the word” (2 Tim. 4:2). DTS’s slogan that
we’ve been using in recent days is “teach truth, love well.”
This motto comes out of that text and out of the heartbeat
that drives the application of it.
This past spring those reviewing us for accreditation
noted that this phrase is now part of the Seminary’s
DNA. It goes with the quality enhancement plan that
we are implementing in the next few years—a focus on
compassionate love as a vehicle of entry into community
and into sharing Christ. That passage has become a “lifer”
with me. Its emphasis is on the integration of truth and
relationship, on grace and truth. So much of Scripture
revolves around that holy balance.
Above and left: Dr. Campbell was
inaugurated as DTS’s third president
in 1986. At the end of his tenure, he
wrote that his eight-year term of
service was not easy, “but I would
not have missed it for anything. . . . I
was stretched to the limit and found
God to be faithful.”
Below: Chancellor Charles Swindoll
(left) and Dr. James Dobson (right)
participated in a 2001 event
honoring the late “Prof” Hendricks
for fifty years of service on the DTS
faculty. At the time of his death, Prof
had passed the sixty-year mark.
KS: What about the future? What challenges do you see?
Dr. Yarbrough: Whatever is happening in the church
worldwide affects us. The gospel is exploding in Latin
America, Northern Africa, and Southeast Asia. The
primary developments of the church will come from those
parts of the world. That’s not happened in the lifetime
of Dallas Theological Seminary, so it will be new for us.
That will have an impact on us in terms of international
students. Our graduates in other parts of the world see
what’s happening in the West. We are watching, and
certainly the church at large is beckoning the West,
saying, “Do not lose your way.” There is a call to the
centrality of the gospel, to biblical authority.
We are also seeing the role and rise of distance
education in its multiple forms. We have made some
strategic moves relating to our Houston campus. We’ve
also placed an individual in Washington, D.C., to direct
our extension there. When you have a diverse student
body and numerous locations, what does that do to your
faculty? We have some “road warriors” who travel a lot to
places where we have mobile cohorts and online students,
so we can stay in touch. But providing quality faculty at
distance locations will challenge us as well.
1970s
Above: Dallas Theological Seminary’s fourth and fifth presidents, Drs. Charles
Swindoll (left) and Mark Bailey have brought to the school increasing emphases on
moral and spiritual integrity in ministry as well as doctrinal purity. In a personal letter
written in 2008, Dr. Bailey wrote, “Each of us presidents has grappled with the lines,
circles, or boundaries . . . but my heart is to seek the Lord, to seek counsel, and to do
what is best for the short- and long-term prospects of the Seminary.”
Right: The Administrative and Global
Learning Center, currently under
construction on the DTS main campus,

conferencing to deliver theological
training worldwide.
Supporters of DTS in the 1970s helped the Seminary educate
people such as author Tony Evans, senior pastor of Oak Cliff Bible Fellowship in
south Dallas and president of The Urban Alternative (TUA). TUA seeks, by God’s
grace, to transform inner-city neighborhoods nationwide, and its radio
outreach extends to nearly 1,000 outlets in the U.S. and to more than 100
countries worldwide.

Dallas Theological Seminary
Degree program review is especially fresh on our
minds as we have just come out of the accreditation
process. Assessment is biblical. We want and need to
improve. Our students need preparation on new topics
that no one needed to address thirty years ago. How do
we deal with that from a curricular standpoint while also
realizing the press for time, money, and the rising cost of
education? Meanwhile, students want to finish faster and
with less expense—and understandably so. How can we
accommodate their needs and better prepare them?
Dr. Bailey: We’re wrestling with education in general.
Consider that only our older students have ever seen a
typewriter. The rest have learned differently from how
most of their instructors learned—by a page of outline that
we filled in as the prof talked. Now we can give students
all of that content on a portable data storage device and
spend class time differently. Each of us has our favorite
way to learn, but that’s not necessarily the way students
learn. They research using the Web. When I did my
dissertation, I did not have to know how to cite an Internet
source.
Worldwide, 80 percent of the people prefer to learn
by listening or watching, not by reading. The Bible is a
book. Yet the earliest audiences heard the Word. Their
learning was all aural. And we can recover a lot of beauty
we have missed by reading instead of hearing the Bible,
especially in the original languages. One member of
our faculty tells me that Leviticus has a cadence in the
original text through which a worship theme manifests
itself that we would never get in English. So we must
address issues of how students learn and how we will
teach them.
While we adapt, some things must always remain
central: the authority of Scripture as God’s Word; the
majesty of Jesus Christ as the God-man, and all that
implies; the need for personal conversion and new life in
Christ in the sense that without justification there is no
righteousness; and fulfillment of the Great Commission,
taking the gospel to the world. When any one of these core
elements gets lost, believers get into trouble. So DTS has a
robust doctrinal statement for our faculty and board, and
we remain unswervingly committed to it. These Christian
doctrines are embedded in our bylaws. They have and will
drive DTS—by the grace of God—until Christ returns.

DTS Grad Born 115 Years Ago Continues to Give
After soldiers returned from the “war to end
all wars,” Prohibition brought turmoil, but the
economy boomed. A seemingly indestructible
country complacently stood at the threshold of
the Great Depression.
And it came about in those days that Dallas
Theological Seminary, first known as The Evangelical
Theological College, had its birth. At the end of the
first academic cycle, the first student to graduate—a
young man named Roy L.
Aldrich—crossed the stage to
receive his degree.
Born in Green Bay,
Wisconsin, in the last year of
the nineteenth century, Aldrich
saw a tour of duty with the Navy
during the First World War. But
that experience affected him
far less than his introduction to
Jesus Christ. His new path led
to Texas for seminary, which
gave him opportunities to serve
as a pastor. Yet a passion for
Christian education guided most
of his career decisions.
The path of following his Lord soon led to
Detroit, Michigan. Working with believers from the
Christian Businessmen’s Committee of Detroit, he
helped establish Detroit Bible College. The school
opened its doors to students the year before World
War II ended, and Dr. Aldrich steered the institution
as president from its infancy for twenty-two years,
after which he served as president emeritus.
His belief in the importance of Christian
education compelled him to speak many times in
Detroit pulpits calling people to support God’s work
in scholarships. He also lived what he taught, giving
whenever possible to various Christian schools,
including DTS.
His motivation flowed
from a great love of Scripture.
Dr. Aldrich preached, wrote, and
spoke, lecturing at DTS and at
Moody Bible Institute’s Founders’
Week conferences. His book,
Holding Fast to Grace, is still in
print.
Described as easy to
talk to and a gracious and
knowledgeable preacher and
teacher, he had a dry sense of
humor and loved to fish. He was
known for wearing a clip-on bow
tie, even after doing so fell out of fashion. His passion
for teaching the Scriptures extended to every age
group, so he often brought the children to the front of
the church during services for a short object lesson.
His work in the ministry continued even after
his retirement and relocation to Florida. There he
found a way for local people to receive training in
biblical studies in conjunction with Moody’s External
Studies program. Aldrich ended his days there, going
to be with the Lord at age 99. His grave inscription
Whoever sows
bountifully
will also reap
bountifully
(2 Cor. 9:6).
1990s
People who prayed and gave to the Seminary during the 1990s invested in
God’s work through people such as Moscow pastor Gennadi Sergienko; secondgeneration DTS grad Priscilla Shirer, co-founder of Going Beyond Ministries;
Imad Shahadeh, president of Jordan Evangelical Theological Seminary;
Elizabeth Inrig, who led women’s ministries for the Evangelical Free Church of
America; and current DTS president Mark Bailey.

Dallas Theological Seminary
expresses his faith:“In thy presence is fulness of joy;
at thy right hand there are pleasures forevermore”
(Ps. 16:11, KJV).
The Aldrich family’s past, present, and future
relationship with DTS goes on. Our first graduate’s
brother, Willard (ThM, 1934; ThB, 1934; ThD, 1936),
helped found Multnomah Bible College, serving as
its president for thirty-five years (1943–1978). Upon
his retirement, his son Joseph (ThM, 1968; ThD, 1971)
succeeded him as president. Other family members
who passed through the halls of DTS have included
Roy’s nephews Jon (ThM, 1968) and Tim Aldrich (ThM,
1971; ThD, 1975), and son-in-law Ken Schafer (ThM,
1971).
Before Roy Aldrich entered the Lord’s presence
sixteen years ago, he and his second wife, Constance
Crawley Aldrich, agreed to create a plan for their
support of DTS to outlive them. When she passed
away in 2011, their estate gift was distributed to the
DTS general fund. The Aldrich family’s legacy of faith
continues through their investment in the training of
future Christian leaders.

Those who more recently invested in DTS have helped to equip graduates
such as Brad Hopkins, who directs the Central Wyoming Rescue Mission; Célestin
Musekura, who founded ALARM, an African-led organization that equips leaders
to transform their communities; and hundreds of others who have reached millions
around the globe through books and articles.

Anyone who supported DTS in the past three decades has had a part in seeing more than
six hundred international students trained. In the past ten years alone, more than
three hundred men and women have crossed borders to serve in 104 countries.
Many of these servants are doing ministry in countries closed to the gospel.

More than 15,000 alumni have stepped through doors of opportunity after leaving DTS.
Only eternity will reveal the number of lives these grads have touched and will touch—and
the eternal dividends reaped by those who have prayed, encouraged, and given to
support the Lord’s work at Dallas Theological Seminary.

DTS Today and Tomorrow
by Julie Lyons
Crossing the Great Wall into China
THE MORNING BEGAN AUSPICIOUSLY ENOUGH:
Dr. Mark L. Bailey attended church with President
George W. Bush and members of his family who
were in Beijing, China, for the opening of the 2008
Summer Olympics. But afterward Dallas Theological
Seminary’s president was ushered across town to
an event that, while less publicized, bears historic
significance and had an even deeper spiritual impact.
Dr. Bailey took the pulpit at Haidian Christian
Church—the largest in China and part of the China
Christian Council (CCC), the nation’s registered,
or official, church—and preached the gospel to a
congregation of two thousand. As international
media watched, Dr. Bailey presented the supremacy
of Christ through the words of Colossians 1:15–20,
“He is before all things, and in him all things hold
together . . . ” (v. 17). From that passage he urged those
who hadn’t trusted Christ to trust him that day.
After the service Dr. Bailey mingled in the aisles
with Chinese believers and interacted privately with
church leaders, having, as he puts it, “a wonderful
time.” What many observers didn’t know is that
his message was the culmination of a long and
delicate dance of trust between Chinese authorities
and DTS, which, eight years ago, had launched a
groundbreaking program to train Chinese-speaking
ministry leaders through online courses available
worldwide.
Four people have graduated from DTS’s Chinese
online program so far in 2014—two students in
12
Dallas Theological Seminary
mainland China, one in Taiwan, and a Chinesespeaking student in Dallas—leaving with a Master of
Arts in Christian Studies degree. Some 120 students
in China, Taiwan, Canada, Australia, Malaysia, New
Zealand and Ukraine are studying in the Chinese
program, viewing online classes taught by DTS
professors and relayed in Mandarin Chinese via
subtitles. Another forty or so men and women are
enrolled in Chinese courses in the United States. The
students also meet in Asian locations such as Hong
Kong to participate in “hybrid” classes with Chinesespeaking professors.
The Seminary’s opportunity to host the Chinese
program is a miracle of sorts. “The reason we’ve
been granted access really came out of a God-led
moment,” Dr. Bailey said. DTS realized that no
one obtains freedom to evangelize and minister in
China without a formal invitation from a recognized
church—of which there is only one, the China
Christian Council—and agreed to work within those
constraints. Dr. Bailey told Chinese authorities “that
without compromising our mission or theological
stance we would welcome an invitation to contribute
to the theological and ministry training among
Chinese people.”
That invitation came through in 2005. Since
then, DTS has had an unprecedented role in shaping
China’s view of what defines a real Christian at the
highest levels of government and church leadership.
“The Chinese authorities
are afraid of are cults,” said Dr.
Mark Yarbrough, vice president
for Academic Affairs. “So what
we talk about is authentic biblical Christianity . . .
and the fact that authentic biblical Christians should
make very good citizens. That resonates with them.”
The image of Chinese Christianity among
American evangelicals has centered on the house
church movement, which operates outside of
Chinese regulations and has experienced explosive
growth, along with waves of government oppression.
Though the Seminary has had to weather some
criticism for operating in China with the blessing
of the official church—whose leadership is in great
need of advanced theological training—Yarbrough
offers a balanced perspective. “Everything you
hear about persecution is true somewhere, some
place, sometime in China,” he said. “It’s that big. Are
there great pockets of freedom? The answer is yes.
Are there moments of persecution that occur? The
answer is yes.”
Christianity in China is much more complex
than the stereotypes, with heretical teaching
and charlatans emerging in the house churches
alongside courageous, uncompromising believers.
And in the registered churches, Dr. Yarbrough has
found “an authentic genuine worship, people striving
to embrace what the Lord has revealed in his Word,
continued on next page
“DTS has had an
unprecedented role
in shaping China’s
view of what defines
a real Christian at
the highest levels
of government and
church leadership.”

and authentic followers of Jesus Christ.”
“Do they have some unique struggles? Sure they
do,” he added. “Are they understaffed? Incredibly.
You’ll have churches that have five thousand people
and three pastors.” Choosing to support the whole
body of Christ in China, DTS leaped in and got
involved with training more men and women for
ministry.
By providing in-depth biblical studies and
consistent theology, DTS works to counter the
heretical, revolutionary teachings of sects that the
government sees as a threat to peace. “I can tell you
that with the growth of the church in China, there is
a fight for orthodoxy,” Dr. Yarbrough said. “Which is
why we have chosen, based upon the Lord’s opening
the doors, to be involved in this discussion.”
The Seminary has garnered unlikely praise
from Chinese officials, who appreciate the school’s
academic excellence. According to Dr. Bailey, DTS
has stayed “public and forthright” with government
and church authorities, encouraging them to monitor
the content of the online classes. “My sense of the
governmental leaders of China is that they genuinely
have a deep sense of responsibility to the massive
number of people they are asked to lead,” Dr. Bailey
added. “They know the church is growing rapidly.
They recognize there are millions of people who
claim to be Christians, and they want them taken
care of carefully.
“We have nothing to hide,” Dr. Bailey said. “We’re
not trying to start a rebel movement. We obviously
want people’s lives to be affected by Christianity.”
Oddly enough, the Seminary’s interest in
China led to the launch of its first domestic online
classes. In 2001, Dr. Bailey and DTS professor Dr.
Stanley Toussaint met in Dallas with a Hong Kong
businessman who “had great respect and regard for
DTS training,” Dr. Bailey said. At first he proposed
a seminary branch in Asia, but eventually the
conversation turned to online education, which was
just getting its start in American universities. The
businessman gave a substantial gift that allowed
DTS to launch its first online course, Dr. Dwight
Pentecost’s Life of Christ on Earth, with a group of
hand-picked distance learners in 2002. “While he
did not know technology,” Dr. Yarbrough said of Dr.
Pentecost, “he knew enough to know that this was an
opportunity to reach new students. And that’s where
his heart was.”
That course enabled DTS “to get our feet under us,”
Dr. Yarbrough said, before moving into the Chinese
language. In 2008, the Seminary brought respected
scholar Dr. Samuel Chia (ThM, 1994; PhD, 2003) on
14
Dallas Theological Seminary
board to direct the Chinese Online program from
Dallas. Born in Malaysia and educated in Canada and
at DTS, Dr. Chia oversaw the translation of courses
into Chinese. At the same time, the Seminary devised
several contextualized courses, such as Introduction
to Biblical Communication in the Chinese Context,
and offered a thirty-hour Certificate of Graduate
Studies. When U.S. accrediting agencies opened
the door to obtain academic degrees online, DTS
launched the sixty-two-hour Master of Arts in
Christian Studies (MA[CS]).
The first few Chinese students to take DTS courses
overseas “thought it was pretty cool—where you
could see the professor teaching, and then you had
the Chinese scripts coming in,” Dr. Chia recalled.
“It was like watching a movie.” That wasn’t all, of
course; the students interacted in forums (one ground
rule: no politics) and gathered for live courses—a lifechanging event for some students, who met fellow
Chinese speakers in ministry from all over the world.
Joseph, a thirty-nine-year-old senior pastor of a
very young (average age: 22.6) five-hundred-member
church in mainland China, was one of those, calling
the intensive Hong Kong course “one of the most
memorable experiences in my life.” He lauds the
Chinese program for its “solid biblical foundation for
my personal study and ministry. It has cultivated
in me the passion for the truth and the passion to
share the truth.” In the United States, Dallas-based
Jeff Cheng—who graduated this summer along with
Joseph—said the MA(CS) has better prepared him for
his marriage ministry to Chinese couples.
In the courses unique to the program, students
learn about ministering effectively in the Chinese
context, such as “how you defer to a person who has
more seniority,” Dr. Chia said. “You really need to
minimize conflict.” DTS hopes to slowly increase
enrollment to two hundred, though funds are
needed, as nearly all of the overseas students require
financial aid. Interest far outstrips capacity; DTS has
received some two thousand applications to date for
the Chinese program.
That’s because it is “a very precious chance for
mainland people who cannot leave their service
but who really want and need to get trained and
equipped,” Joseph wrote via email. “You can still
serve while you study, and you can receive all these
wonderful teachings in Chinese.”

And Then We
Saw the Storks
GOD’S LOYAL LOVE AND DTS
THE ANCIENT CITY OF EPHESUS is
like the Disneyland of archaeological sites from the
Roman world. The first thing a visitor is likely to see
at this ancient magical kingdom, however, is a big
disappointment, like finding a great ride in Disney’s
world out of order. At one time, the Temple of
Artemis (see Acts 19:21–41) was one of the
Seven Wonders of the Ancient World. Today
one views only a huge hole in the ground
marking its ancient footprint and a lonely
pillar pieced together from mismatched
stone drums in 1973. It shows only
something of the size and height of one of
the 121 ancient magnificent columns—but
little of their beauty. The solitary column
rises forty-five feet (originally sixty
feet)—both helpful in suggesting ancient
grandeur and disappointing at the same
time.
But on my last visit, just a few months
ago, something happened that amazed us:
a nest of storks perched atop the column, with
a bird hovering above, something like the Spirit of
God hovering over the waters of primordial earth, as
recorded in Genesis 1:2.
In ancient times peoples devoid of video games
and other thumbing devices took time to observe
animal behavior. Ideas such as “sly as a fox,” “wise
as an owl,” “regal as a lion,” and “stupid as a donkey”
were shared impressions of people in many cultures.
And of all the animals that the Hebrews observed,
none was believed to be as constant in care for their
young as were storks.
This ancient memory explains the tie of storks
to human babies even in our own time—well, at least
to my time. Our grandchildren, I have discovered,
are more physiologically and anatomically informed
than children were when I was a boy. “Where do
babies come from?” a child used to ask. In more

innocent times than ours, a serviceable answer
was, “The stork brings them.” Today, storks are not
mentioned to—or by—kids.
Storks, hasidot! These unlikely “unclean”
birds, because of observed devotion to their young,
mysteriously suggested to the faith community of
Israel something of the deep, lasting, covenant love of
God for his people, his loyal love—his hesed.
The Hebrew word for “stork” is hasidah, a word
related to hesed, the principal term describing the
kindness, love, mercy, and goodness of Yahweh,
the name for Israel’s covenant-keeping God. The
stork was regarded as unusually kind to its young;
Yahweh is indescribably kind to his people. His hesed
kindness is abundant in depth (Num. 14:18),
great in range (Num. 14:19), everlasting in
extent (Jer. 33:11), and good in essence
(Ps. 69:16).
Yahweh’s self-disclosure to
Moses in Torah swept upon the
prophet who was secured in
the cleft of the rock on the holy
mountain (Ex. 34:5–7). Yahweh
proclaimed the meaning of his
being in words of deity, compassion,
patience—and especially of hesed
we-‘emet, “grace and truth.” These are
the same ideas John used to describe Jesus
(Greek: charis kai aletheia) in John 1:14. John was
saying, “You know what God is like. He is abundant
in grace and truth. This is exactly what Jesus is like—
full of grace and truth.”
This year we mark the ninetieth anniversary of
the founding of Dallas Theological Seminary. It is also
the fiftieth year since my first days as a student at
our school. Memories of the giants who were in the
land of DTS in those days rush and swirl in my mind.
I recall Walvoord, Ryrie, Robinson, (S.L.) Johnson,
Hodges, Unger, Campbell, Hendricks, Peters,
Toussaint, and Pentecost. Each made impressions
that have lasted me a lifetime.
Then there was Dr. Bruce K. Waltke and his
classes in biblical Hebrew. Of all that I learned from
Dr. Waltke, nothing marked me so much as his
emphasis on the significance of the Hebrew word
hesed as descriptive of Yahweh’s “loyal love”—as Dr.
Waltke styled the term. This Hebrew word is so rich
that it is variously translated as “mercy,” “goodness,”
“kindness,” “love,” “grace,” “merciful goodness,”
“lasting love,” “covenant love,” and the like.
Thirty-three years ago, I attended the meetings
of the International Council on Biblical Inerrancy in
Chicago. Dr. Waltke was giving a response to a paper
on the attributes of God. When the meeting began,
Dr. Waltke looked out over the audience and directed
his eyes to the paper’s author.
Suddenly, he closed the folder containing his
prepared notes, moved to the side of the lectern,
removed and cleaned his glasses, and said, “I can’t
do what I planned to do.” He had intended to respond
section by section to the paper. Instead, he looked
kindly on the writer, and he said he agreed with
all of the blessed ideas that had been presented
about the beauty and wonders of our God. “But,” Dr.
Waltke said, “you missed the most important thing.
You did not develop the word hesed.” He then spoke
extemporaneously of hesed as the most important
word in Hebrew Scripture—after the name of
God—Yahweh.
A few years ago, Dr. Waltke was
back on the Seminary campus during a
commencement weekend marking the
fiftieth anniversary of his graduation
from our school. In his Commencement
Chapel address, President Mark
Bailey spoke of the love of God and
emphasized the word hesed as the loyal
love of God. Later, I greeted Dr. Waltke
and commented on Dr. Bailey’s message. I
said, “Our president’s words are your legacy.”
Well, they were and are more than Dr. Waltke’s
legacy. An understanding of hesed—the loyal love
of Yahweh—is our legacy at Dallas Theological
Seminary.
In all my years on the campus, I have never
seen a stork atop a column. Storks are not likely to
be viewed in Dallas—outside of the zoo. Yet in all
my years at DTS, I have never doubted the hovering
presence of the living God—his maternal-paternal
care, his loyal love—Yahweh’s hesed!
Dallas Theological Seminary celebrates its
ninetieth year based on many people, many gifts,
many prayers, many labors, many sacrifices, many
pains, many joys.
But under all and above all and in all, the reason
for ninety years of Dallas Theological Seminary is
hesed—the loyal love of God.
After “Yahweh,”
hesed—God’s
loyal love—is the
most important
word in Hebrew
Scripture.

The Tablecloth of Grace
S
hortly after David ascended Israel’s throne, he made good
on a promise. He had given Jonathan his word that he would
demonstrate kindness to Jonathan’s family forever (see 1 Samuel
20). Once David became king, he could easily have forgotten that
promise. Certainly, no one would have forced the king to keep it.
But David’s “yes” meant “yes.” After the deaths of Jonathan and his father, King
Saul, David remembered his promise, which prompted him to ask, “Is there yet anyone
left of the house of Saul, that I may show him kindness for Jonathan’s sake?” As it
turned out, the answer was “yes.” Ziba, David’s servant, said, “There is still a son of
Jonathan who is crippled in both feet” (2 Sam. 9:1–3, NASB).
Without hesitation, David sent for Jonathan’s son, whose name was
Mephibosheth. When the young man arrived, he bowed trembling. In ancient days
when a new king from a new dynasty took the throne, it wasn’t uncommon for him to
destroy every member of the former royal family. That explains the young man’s terror.
Being Saul’s grandson meant he was as good as dead! But, of course, he knew nothing
of David’s promise to show kindness to his father’s family. How shocked he must have
been when King David reassured him, “Do not fear, for I will surely show kindness to
you for the sake of your father Jonathan, and will restore to you all the land of your
grandfather Saul; and you shall eat at my table regularly” (v. 7).
Filled with a mixture of amazement and gratitude, Mephibosheth bowed yet
again, asking, “What is your servant that you should regard a dead dog like me?” (v. 8).
David did far more than spare his life. He made sure that everything that had belonged
to Saul and his family now belonged to the young man who was not only undeserving
of such favor, but he was also crippled in both feet. In addition, the king promised him
that from then on he would have a place at the king’s table, regularly eating his meals
with others in the king’s family (v. 10).
What a story of grace—God’s unmerited favor! With a little imagination, we can
picture a familiar scene in the king’s royal residence. Gold and silver fixtures held
the flaming torches that lined the palace walls. Lofty, hand-carved wooden ceilings
crowned each spacious room, including the banquet hall where David and his family
gathered for their evening meals. In one chair sat tanned, handsome Absalom with his
long, raven-black locks of hair. Next to him sat his beautiful sister, Tamar. Across from
her sat the young and brilliant Solomon. It’s suppertime, and the call has gone out to all
in the family to gather around the table. As David the dad scans the room to make sure
all the kids are present, he notices that one is missing.
It isn’t long before everyone can hear a sound they have become accustomed to
by now. Clump, scra-a-ape. Clump scra-a-ape echoes from the hallway into the dining
room. Clump, scra-a-ape. Clump scra-a-ape. Finally, the young man appears and
slowly shuffles to his place. It’s Mephibosheth, of course, seated now at the king’s table
alongside the other members of the king’s family. Once seated, the tablecloth of grace
covers his feet. We are reassured of the king’s grace as we read, “Mephibosheth ate at
David’s table as one of the king’s sons” (v. 11).
Although Mephibosheth had nothing to offer David, the king lavished on him
great honor. David made no distinction between Absalom and Tamar and Solomon and
Mephibosheth. When grace abounds, that’s what happens. Favor is extended to the
undeserving, which cannot be earned or repaid. No wonder we call it amazing!
For ninety years God has poured out his grace on Dallas Theological Seminary.
For ninety years he has allowed wretches like us to attend the classes, to teach the
students, and to lead the school. Think of it! Not one of us has deserved such unmerited
favor from our God. For ninety years the tablecloth of grace has covered all our feet.
What a faithful King of grace he has been throughout these ninety years. All hail
the power of Jesus’ name!
