Garret already did a fantastic job in his treatment of the series,<\/a> so I have little of substance to add to it. \u00a0However, considering that the series took more than a year to complete (he began in November 2009<\/a>), I thought it might be helpful to create a hub post collecting all the articles. \u00a0After all, numerous people have joined our church since then, and they might be unfamiliar with the series (or Garrett for that matter!). \u00a0And that doesn’t even begin to include the people who read this online without having visited LBC. \u00a0I’m not sure many of them understand what a massive undertaking it was that you set forth to accomplish; perhaps this post will help them see that.<\/p>\n

I also wanted to take a brief moment to\u00a0publicly\u00a0thank Garrett for all the hard work he did on the series. \u00a0He joined the Beacon as a writer at the same time that I joined as the editor, and his faithfulness in producing article after article, week after week, was an enormous benefit and comfort to me personally. \u00a0And he\u00a0consistently\u00a0did so in a manner that showed he had spent considerable time in reflection not only of Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology, <\/em>but of Scripture itself. \u00a0The icing on the cake was that in the entire time he spent as a writer, he only ever asked for time off once: and that was due to the fact that he was relocating to San Jose to be part of the church plant!<\/a> I think he crammed relocation, a career change, and possibly his engagement into that time period, and he still came back with more articles two weeks later!<\/p>\n

Garrett, it has been an absolute pleasure. \u00a0You are a good writer (meaning I almost never changed <\/em>your words), a discerning thinker (meaning I almost never deleted <\/em>your words), and a faithful Christian brother (meaning I never failed to learn<\/em> from your words).<\/p>\n

Thank you.<\/p>\n
