A.W. Pink

Dr. Couch, what do you think of A.W. Pink? I understand he was a dispensationalist early on but became a full-blown covenant guy later.

ANSWER:  Pink went early to Moody Bible Institute but thought he knew so much that he left after one semester. He was a know-it-all who rubbed people the wrong way. He could never get a lasting pastorate and ended up rejected by almost everyone. I read his biography and find that he just thought too much of himself. At the last of his life he became very isolated. He did some good spiritual work in a little paper he published but it was unfortunate that no one could tell him anything. In some ways I feel sorry for him. God used him but he cut his own ties with people he could have greatly inspired.

   Thanks for asking.
