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.
