A Professor Lost...Dr. Gary McGee

An excellent Professor went home to be with the Lord on December 10th. Dr. Gary McGee was one of my professors at the Assemblies of God Theological Seminary when I was a student.

In fact, on this blog, one of the books I am presently reading was written by Dr. McGee. The Pentecostal Dictionary is a must have for any Pentecostal seminary student. This book is impressive, detailed, and a wealth of Knowledge.

I always enjoyed class with Dr. McGee because he was patient, kind and really wanted his students "to get it."

I must admit I was very intimidated by him as a student. I was taking a courses from him and the textbooks were written by him as well.

I praise the Lord for his influence in my life.

May God show comfort to Dr. McGee's family and the AGTS family as well.

Noticed you teach tithing. I'm doing a study myself. I'm trying to find the answer to 2 questions. 1. When did the definition of tithe change? 2. Who changed it?

Kevin,
I took some time off over the holiday so I did not see your comment until tonight.

Tithe means "tenth." This definition has not changed.
