Houston's Clear Thinkers
Longtime Houston attorney Tom Kirkendall's observations on developments in law, business, medicine, culture, sports, and other matters of general interest to the Houston business, professional, and academic communities.
I have been a Baptist pastor for 25 years in Houston. I was searching trying to find out where Dr. Hinson was these days. My, my..I did not know the dear brother was now in Heaven. I believed him to be the finest pulpiteer in Houston. He will be and is sorely missed. I would sure like to know where we could recieve some of his sermons in a CD or cassette tape format. May the Lord bless and preserve his ministry until Christ returns!
I just came into possession of several tapes of Dr. hinson’s sermons. I saw someone wanted to get copies.
