Bob Cottrill Biography<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Robert Edward William Cottrill was born to Ted and Isbell Cottrill on Saturday, the 18<\/strong>th<\/strong><\/sup> of January 1941, in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.<\/strong> Born in Tiger-Cat territory, he naturally became an avid football fan (eventually even cheering for the Roughriders, but we won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t discuss whether he loved the Ti-Cats or Roughriders more).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob\ngrew up in the Hamilton area, eventually working as a commercial\nphotographer. He retained an interest in photography for the rest of\nhis life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\nattended and graduated from Ontario Bible College (now Tyndale\nUniversity College & Seminary). The year before graduation, on\nthe 1st<\/sup> of June 1968, he married Beth Carscadden, a recent\ngraduate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob\nwent on to graduate with a B.A. from the University of Windsor,\nhaving studied history, English, and psychology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After\ngraduating, he began his first pastorate in the village of Coe Hill\nin southern Ontario, at Coe Hill Gospel Church. During this time\ntheir son Jim was born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nfamily later moved to Dunnville, also in southern Ontario, where Bob\npastored at Dunnville Gospel Church. He also worked with children in\nthe Awana club\t\nprogram, both in Dunnville and in his next area of ministry,\nNewmarket Ontario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After Dunnville, Bob spent several years on the staff of Grace Church in Newmarket. He became the Director of Christian Education at the church (which also had a day care and a Christian elementary school). He developed a Bible Institute which had courses broadcast on local television.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moving\nout west, he continued his studies at Briercrest Seminary. He later\ndid a teaching internship at Briercrest Bible College, and oversaw\nand co-hosted the final year of the radio broadcast, the\nBriercrest Bible Hour<\/em> with\nJeannie Hildebrand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\ncontinued teaching at Millar College of the Bible in Pambrun,\nSaskatchewan. Some of his courses included the Gospel of John,\nPentateuch, Music in the Church, and Music in the Christian Life. Bob\nhad a lifelong love of music, and often sang or led music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After\nMillar, Bob and Beth moved to Turtleford, Saskatchewan, where Bob\npastored at Turtleford Baptist Church. After this, the couple moved\nto Lashburn, Saskatchewan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While\nin Lashburn, Bob took on an interim pastorate in Provost, at Provost\nAssociated Gospel Church (now called New Hope Community Church), and\nlater at Maidstone Baptist Church (now Maidstone Grace Community\nChurch).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout\nthese years and up until the end of his life, he continued to lead\nBible studies, accept preaching engagements, and write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\n2009, he published \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Discovering the Songs of Christmas\u00e2\u20ac\u009d, a\ndevotional book about the stories behind Christmas carols. He was\nworking on several other books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\nalso had two websites, one focused on a study of the Bible and the\nother on hymn stories. He was an expert on the history and content of\nhymns, spending many years doing his own research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In\n1965, Bob started a system for recording his insights on Bible\npassages on 3×5 cards, a habit he kept up for the rest of his life.\nHe eventually hoped to publish a Bible commentary. By the time he\npassed away, he had twelve or thirteen thousand cards of quotes,\ninsights, and facts about every chapter in the Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob\nalways prayed for his family and many others, and was an\nencouragement and wise mentor to his family. He is survived by his\nwife Beth, his son Jim, Jim\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s wife Shari, and his two grandchildren\nHannah and Nathanael. He will be greatly missed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bob Cottrill Tribute<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In June 1921, Victor Hall sold his bicycle.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now,\nbear with me. I realize that this was 20 years before my Dad was\nborn. It will all make sense in a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Victor\nHall sold his bicycle so that he would have enough money to purchase\na Bible for his friend Ted. Ted was my Father\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Father. And Ted had\na vision to share God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Word in Western Canada. So Victor\nsacrificed something of great value to him so that he could buy my\nGrandfather a Bible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My Grandfather never did go to minister full time in Western Canada, but how interesting that his son ended up moving from Ontario to Saskatchewan, in many ways living out the vision of his father. Well, my Dad thought that was interesting. But his ministry in both the east and the west were important to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My\nDad was always interested in historical details, whether about the\nfamily or the history of past centuries. He was always very curious,\nand loved to solve mysteries, whether real-life or in an Agatha\nChristie novel. And that included science as well as history. How do\nthings work? What really<\/em> happened?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nof course this curiosity, or you could say, search for truth, spilled\nout into his ministry. Historical details about the days of Jesus,\nwhat science can tell us about God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s glory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When\nhe was in the hospital, he texted me about a nurse who was trying to\nmake certain he had a sure-fire way to remember him. So the nurse\nsaid, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153You\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re the one who reads books, aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t you?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

My\nDad thought it was pretty funny that it was as if he was the one\nperson in the world who read books. So I texted him back. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Those\nare those things with a bunch of papers stuck together, with words\non, right?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nhe texted back, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Nope. Mine just have pitchers in \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcem.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em>\nLollipop emoji.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nactually have an odd memory about something I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t do<\/em> with\nmy Dad. When I was in elementary school, there was an eclipse of the\nsun. My Dad thought that they might cancel school for the day, and he\nhad planned that we could watch the eclipse together. But the silly\nschool didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t cancel. And I was so disappointed. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m still\ndisappointed, frankly, that I didn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have that day with my Dad.\nDumb school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nthankfully, this isn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t a story about how I never got to spend time\nwith my Dad. I had many great days with him, and for that, I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m very\nthankful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\nalways gave wise advice, and was always telling a funny story,\nsometimes punctuating the story with a quote from a movie. Or TV\nshow. Or old radio show. Or song. But I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t bore you with inside\njokes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nI do want to share one thing I appreciated about my Dad. Maybe it was\npartly by nature and partly learning along the way, but he had a\nremarkable ability to talk to you with respect, and explain concepts\nin a way that was easy to understand. Often he would talk to a child\nwith the same respect as as to adult. Never condescending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\nguess it was partly the teacher in him. An attention to detail and\nbeing precise, and yet being able to bring truths down to earth. And\nI bet he taught something to many of you at one time or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nhe also had this maybe unusual mix of making me feel free to make my\nown decisions, discover the truth on my own \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and yet he had\nconvictions, and wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t afraid to share them. He was passionate\nonce he was convinced of something important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And\nwhen he complimented you, you knew that he really meant it. Because\nhe wouldn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make something up just to please someone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But\nthe most important thing for my Dad was his relationship with the\nLord Jesus. And when God is on your side, you can be pretty bold. As\nthe Apostle Paul wrote in Romans 8,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who is to condemn? Christ Jesus is the one who died\u00e2\u20ac\u201dmore than that, who was raised\u00e2\u20ac\u201dwho is at the right hand of God, who indeed is interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? As it is written,
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153For your sake we are being killed all the day long;
we are regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am sure that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present nor things to come, nor powers, nor height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.<\/p>Romans 8:34-39<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Maybe the older we get, the more we realize that we\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re all kids at heart. As you know, my Dad loved hymns. But his favourite was not really even a hymn, but a gospel song. In fact, a children\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s song, written by Philip Bliss. Bliss had been at a meeting where they were singing Oh How I Love Jesus<\/em> \u00e2\u20ac\u201c and the chorus repeats that phrase over and over \u00e2\u20ac\u201c Oh, How I Love Jesus<\/em>. And he later said: \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Have I not been singing enough about my poor love for Jesus, and shall I not rather sing of his great love for me?\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\nSo\nhe wrote the words to this song. And I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122ll close with this, because\nit describes my Dad\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s heart so well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am so glad that our Father in Heav\u00e2\u20ac\u2122n
Tells of His love in the Book He has giv\u00e2\u20ac\u2122n;
Wonderful things in the Bible I see,
This is the dearest, that Jesus loves me.<\/p>

I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves me, Jesus loves me.
I am so glad that Jesus loves me,
Jesus loves even me.<\/em><\/p>

Though I forget Him, and wander away,
Still He doth love me wherever I stray;
Back to His dear loving arms I do flee,
When I remember that Jesus loves me.<\/p>

Oh, if there\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s only one song I can sing,
When in His beauty I see the great King,
This shall my song through eternity be,
“Oh, what a wonder that Jesus loves me!”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>Philip P. Bliss<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
