Thanks for posting that. Like I said, I’ve heard of his name so I know he’s well know, I just did not know for what. Also I said I figured you all did know who he was and thought I’d post this.

Good pastor and teacher, and hey, he's 89 years old! Other than his choice of bible's (NIV, Living Bible, and few others, he never preached from the KJV that I'm aware of) his teachings were pretty much spot on. His study on Daniel was brilliant.

I hope he's not sick, and just "passing the torch" in his old age.

I agree... he was a daily spiritual nutrient for me and my husband as we raised our family.

Chuck, known as ‘the Serminator’ - I gained an advantage in my Christian walk listening to him in the 90’s. Did not realize he was still alive.

Amen, polly. very helpful to me being a dad and husband. he’s so intelligent with his gift, but i recall he would sometimes get emotional or excited about something really personal or important and his voice would go up, up! he really is a life sharing preacher. i hope the Lord lets him go on for a good while yet. we sure need preachers like him, today. God bless!

Chuck Swindoll is one of my favorite radio preachers/teachers. I didn’t know he was even still alive.

Very solid and a reasonable, a gracious spirit and very clear teaching of God’s word.

Funny how there’s ever been a hint of scandal about him.

God bless him.

That didn’t come out right. There’s no reason that I would expect any scandal from him.

It’s just unusual as it seems that almost every other public Christian figure has been caught up in something or other. He and Franklin Graham seem to be about the only really well known figures that remain untouched by scandal.

A long time ago, he wrote a series of books about various Bible folks. I found the ones on David and Job very enlightening. I need to buy the rest of those.
He’s a great teacher and author!

I’ve listened to many of his Sermons. He has a humorous, down home style I really enjoy.

I’ve liked Swindoll for many years. A few years ago I learned how old he really was. I was surprised because his voice sounds so young and clear. Unlike some others in their ‘80’s.

(Of course, some of his broadcasts were recorded a few years ago, but I have heard recent interviews and sermons.)

I enjoy his preaching that I hear on the Christian radio station. His voice does not reveal his age — surprised to read it!

Amen. I have several of his books.
He could be humorous to make a point.. but also very emotional.
ALWAYS Bible based..
Living in Southern California all of my life, now in my 80s..many good friends were part of his church in Fullerton.
