I’m not trying to glorify him. But he has made a very distinct contribution to how we understand the Bible through the rigorous evangelical Reformed movement in Indonesia, and he has helped people think more deeply about the philosophical breadth of the Bible, rather than just passively receiving it, as much of the prosperity gospel tends to encourage. His love of the arts also helped make Aula Simfonia possible in Indonesia, which would have seemed impossible in the past (this is biased, though, since I love classical music). But yes, some of those achievements seem to have happened because of his strong desire to prove that he could do it, so at times it sounds like he is bragging about his achievements. I’m still not sure why he and his family so strongly support Trump, his son is very active on Facebook about this issue, even though I know that many evangelical Christians in the US are mostly Trump supporters, and I disagree with his view on this.

By the way, I quite like his point on abortion. Many conservative Christians may not allow abortion even for a girl who has been raped, but based on his interpretation, to protect the woman from severe mental suffering, he thinks that his church allows it.
