About Me
Hi, I’m Tim. I appreciate you visiting my blog. The purpose of my blog is to equip bloggers to live, refine, and communicate theology. What we believe is life changing. My theology has transformed my life. Let me explain.
I grew up in Gospel Baptist Church because I had no choice. Mom used to say, “Every time the hinges of the church doors squeak, we are going to be there.” Today people claim they love Jesus but not the church. But God used the church, I grew up in, with our gospel preaching pastor, Arthur Blackburn, to bring me to Christ. God “saved” (Eph. 2:8, 9) me when I was 18 and called me to preach at age 21. The theology of salvation and Christ turned me around. I now have a relationship with my Savior, Jesus Christ. This blog will help all of us live theology for the glory of God.
After I graduated from Piedmont Baptist College, I went to Bob Jones University for graduate work, and later earned a Doctor’s degree from Reformed Theological Seminary. At Piedmont, I have taught students theology for 15 years on the undergraduate and graduate levels in the USA, Egypt, and Bangladesh. I have taught both the traditional and on-line format. This has given me the opportunity to fine tune my theology which I consider my worldview. This blog will not only enable us to live but refine our theology as the grid for life.
I have been preaching since I was 21 years old and as a pastor for over 20 years. When I pastored Needham’s Grove Baptist Church for 15 years, I focused on expository preaching and saw God bless His Word in the lives of our members and the unsaved in our community. I am now privileged to pastor the church God has used in my life more than any other church: my home church, Gospel Baptist Church.
My doctoral dissertation was on interpreting and preaching Old Testament stories. In addition to teaching theology, I have taught homiletics and expository preaching both on the undergraduate and graduate levels. This blog will equip us to communicate the theology of God’s Word. Every passage communicated has something to say about God that can transform the lives of our listeners when properly applied. My prayer is that DRTIMWHITE.COM will equip you to live, refine, and communicate theology in our postmodern culture. You can contact me at drtimwhite@gmail.com.
Dear Brother,
Greetings
I am Waseem Yousaf from Pakistan. I have studied your web site, and
have found it to be one of many wonderful sites offered on the
internet which gets to the Truth of the Word of God. As is the case
with others whom I have contacted, you have created material which is
full of knowledge concerning development of religious faith. Living in
Pakistan, weChristians face many obstacles in getting access to God’s Word. Most
people in Pakistan speak Urdu, and are not capable of understanding the
English language. Because of limited access in our native tongue, my
people have a true hunger for fresh Christian Perspectives.
Proficient in both English and my native languages, I would like to
offer my services as a translator to you. Presenting your material in
both Urdu and Punjabi would be a true blessing to the Pakistani and
Indian people. For a nominal fee, I will enable you to bring the message
of Salvation to a most deserving people.
Blessing you in advance for your consideration,
In Him,
Waseem Yousaf

Thanks for reading and commenting. I cannot afford to pay for translating. But thank you very much for the offer.
This is good site with good material Dr. Tim. I have been working with pastors of different churches here in Kenya. I have come to realized that most of them don’t have theological training because they could not afford. the free one they attend is not giving them the right teach yet whenever I preach or engage them in sound teaching they don’t oppose. I have great desire to reach this pastors where they are and I would like very much to use your materials in teaching some of the basic bible doctrine where this pastor are if you allow me. Beside that I wonder whether you would consider coming to Kenya for a pastors conference if I organized one. Otherwise thanks for the good work and I pray that God will bless your ministry.

The free one they attend is not giving them the right teachings to help them lead the church. so many of their church turn into cults yet whenever I preach or engage them in sound teaching they don’t oppose.

Rev. Okeyo,
Please use any of the material in these blogs to help teach these pastors in Kenya. It is very hard for me to get away to teach in other countries. Thank you, however, for the invite.
God bless you as you train preachers.
Tim White
Do you have a statement of Faith?
I do not have a concise statement. Under the category Doctrinal Statements I have several posts. The closest to a concise statement is Part 4. Thanks for reading and commenting.
