In Memoriam: J. Alan Groves

Yesterday, J. Alan Groves entered into the glory of his Lord after a long struggle with cancer.  Al was professor of Old Testament at Westminster Theological Seminary, a fervent and humble disciple of Jesus Christ, and a warm friend to all who knew him.  We mourn with his wife, Libbie, and his family, but rejoice at his deliverance from the trials of this world.  We further rejoice at the glory Al gave to God during his illness and the help his ministry gave to many others who face death.  Libbie's beautiful announcement of Al's homegoing can be read here.

Please pray for Libbie and their four children, and also for the grieving community of Westminster Theological Seminary.  The Westminster notice is found here, along with information regarding memorial gifts in thanks to God for Al's life and ministry and in honor of his Savior, Jesus Christ.

"Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints" (Ps. 116:15).
