After years of "admiring" men, I know only admire one preacher - The Preacher of preachers, The Teacher of Teachers, The Chief Rabbi of Rabbis, my Lord and Savior. It completely eliminates the let downs, the hurts and the disappointments that come from "admiring" preachers made of flesh.

Jerry Falwell because he preached over and over again "God is the God of the second chance...." and majored on grace early on in a system (IFB) that too often majored on legalism.
Chuck Swindoll because he is a good Bible teacher who brings insights I often don't see on my own and at the same time is easy to listen to.
Franklin Graham because he is not politically correct when it would be easier to do so.
Mark Driscoll because he has the guts to talk about issues that make many people feel uncomfortable.
Doug Fields because he had the most disarming, winsome and amusing delivery I have ever heard he was able to resonate with people, many from a non-churched background, on deeply spiritual issues that many other preachers might struggle to do.

We have lived in many states, so it would be difficult to list all of the wonderful preachers I heard over the years. Most have been our own pastors who have had a special place in our hearts because of the faithful lives they have lived.
Since I have recently heard him, I will say John O'Malley (General Director of World Wide New Testament Baptist Missions).

After thinking about this for a while.....I would loved to have.....
a beer with Luther
some wine with Calvin
and a cigar with Spurgeon.

Agreed! That would be entertaining and enlightening. ;D
I'd like to add to my list, dinner and drinks with Lewis and Tolkien, at one of their favorite English pubs.

Agree with the first three on your list.
I do appreciate some of Driscoll's stand on some idiotic issues embraced by the contemporary movement, but some of his messages rival Schaaps polished shaft sermon IMO!
Fields...eh...shrug!
You still in the Berg?

Al Martin, the Reformed Baptist from either new Jersey or NY?
I actually admire many of the preachers who are on here. They may not be famous or maybe they have not written great literary works and have not preached what we would call "great" sermons but there are quite a few who are very Godly and dedicated to the Bible and their saviour and to me that is what counts. I am an apologist for "the least of these my bretheren". You love Jesus and don't worry about what anyone else says!

Yep, still up here keeping everybody straight on their theology and not letting them run too far off the rails.
Every once in a while I get a chance to go up to campus for a concert or game. Just stay too busy at work unfortunately.
I honestly don't know if Fields is "well known' outside the youth ministry world or not but we had the privilege of hearing him speak 10-15 times a year from the pulpit. Just from a delivery point of view I think he is one of the best speakers I have heard. Of course your mileage may vary. LOL

I admire the pastors who have no national name, but faithfully minister to, counsel, shepherd and teach the community in which they serve. These are they who often work a secular job just to make ends meet, but love helping people find peace in Christ.
I have found that if a pastor becomes nationally known, he is too filled with pride to pastor his church.
