While Hovind did not earn a Ph.D. at a state university, in both Baptist and Wesleyan fundamentalism, the honorary title of “Dr.” is sometimes given to certain preachers to acknowledge their influence, self-taught learning, and the seriousness with which their words are received. It’s not so much an academic certification as an honorary title given to acknowledge Bible believing preachers that possess more learning than regular preachers, such as Dr. A. W. Tozer and Dr. Leonard Ravenhill. –J.B.

The earth is the Lord’s And everything that’s in it And all of His people All there be unto Him
He raised the land Above the waters of the sea And laid a strong foundation In the ocean deep The earth is the Lord’s
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord? Who shall stand in His holy place? The righteous will worship in His holy presence And taste of His goodness and receive deliverance
These are the people that the Lord will bless These are the ones who love His righteousness The earth is the Lord’s
Open wide the gates Open wide the ancient doors And the King of Glory The King will enter in
Who is this King of Glory? The Lord strong and mighty He is the Lord Triumphant Lord
