Puritan Board Doctor
His birthday is today (born on June 19, 1939).
No, he's not completely Reformed, but his 50-year ministry at Grace Community Church of the Valley in Sun Valley, California has had not a whiff of any of the usual scandals about it - neither sexual nor financial. He's an excellent preacher from whom I've learned a lot over the years (I first discovered him in 1980).
He gave up preaching the evening service a couple of years ago, possibly due to lack of energy. And, perhaps, he did it to get the congregation used to the idea of him not being around.
Now that he's completed his last full decade of ministry (ages 70-80), I expect he'll probably retire sometime in, say, the next five years.
He's not perfect. He's a sinner, just like all the rest of us. But, I've valued his ministry for many years.
