At this year's Together for the Gospel conference R.C. Sproul reflected on 50 years in ministry. Specifically he addressed what he believes are the greatest threats to the Gospel. It is a powerful and important message.
RC has laboured with great visibility. This scribe, without it. But my dear brother and friend, with greater skill and visibility, reflects on the great calling of ministry. I love this man dearly. Have followed him nigh to 40 of those 50 years. With anguish, as we were emerging from liberal Presbyterianism.
Sitting in Louisville for T4G as Dr. Sproul delivered the message live from Florida we were all aware of the sober reality that this man is in the twilight years of his ministry.
He is still preaching and writing prolifically. But we will not have him with us for too much longer. When the time comes, he will be sorely missed.
A native of Houston, Texas, Todd served as youth pastor in churches in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
Todd was called as the first pastor of Metro East Baptist Church in September of 1999. In November 2008 Todd became the Teaching Pastor of Church of the Saviour in Wayne, Pennsylvania.
Following a call to the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA), Todd became the Lead Pastor of Covenant Presbyterian Church in Harrisonburg, VA in August of 2013.
He is a graduate of Southwest Baptist University and Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Todd and his wife, Karen, have been married since 1990 and have three children: Kate, Ryan, and Matthew.
"Therefore the Christ who is grasped by faith and who lives in the heart is the true Christian righteousness, on account of which God counts us righteous and grants us eternal life."
Martin Luther
"The Gospel is sheer good tidings, not demand but promise, not duty but gift."
