Vodie Baucham Jr.
Franklin Graham
Kevin Swanson
James Dobson
As far as I know, these men do walk the talk. You may not agree with every point of doctrine they hold, but they seem to humbly serve the Lord. Vodie Baucham is a superstar in certain circles who turned down the opportunity for fame (a career in the NFL) early in life. I believe he recently moved his ministry to Africa, yet again pulling away from the limelight.
As vilified by the media as Dr. Dobson was, he never gave them an actual scandal to report. Franklin Graham seems to have taken his father’s advice about guarding against any opportunity for impropriety to heart and is even bolder for the Lord. Kevin Swanson has a church and an internet radio show so is relatively unknown, but seems to be committed to honoring the Lord fully.
It seems that those who very publicly pushed God’s agenda, rather than publicly worshipping and praising Him (Duggars, Doug Philips, Bill Gothards) had very public downfalls. Pride can lead us to forget that without God we can fall into sin. None of us are righteous in our own strength.
Thanks, you’ve given me some reading to do.
