Since I'm privileged to be chairman of the trustees of Mid-Continent University in Mayfield, Kentucky, I have read this thread with interest. MCU was originally named Mid-Continent Baptist Bible College.
The late President of MCBBC, Dr.O. C. Markham, loved to tell the story about his periodic visits to churches in the area. One Sunday, he arrived at a rural church to find that the pastor was away, and someone else was filling the pulpit. He knew this fella, knew that he had little use for religious education, and even less use for educated preachers. He felt that being educated just made one liberal. And he also knew that the fell would take a shot at him.
Sure enough, when the man stood up to preach, he said, "Before I get started, I want to say that I'm ignorant; I thank God that I'm ignorant (pronounced ig-nurnt) and I pray that God'll make me ignurnter and ignurnter."
"Now," turn in your Bibles to the book of Daniel. I'm gonna preach on old King Nee-buck-had-a-razor."
Dr. Markham said, "I knew he meant King Nebuchadnezzar. I also knew that God had answered his prayer. He was getting ignoranter and ignoranter."
