What a gift Dr. MacArthur was for the body of Christ; what a gift he was to me. The Lord used him and Dr. Sproul in my early college days to deepen my understanding of the Scriptures and strengthen my conviction about the Bible’s authority, inerrancy, infallibility, and sufficiency. As a college student with no money, I responded to a @gracetoyou offer and received a free copy of The Valley of Vision, opening a first glimpse into the Puritans' theologically rich spiritual life. Later in my vocational life, the Lord would give me the unexpected privilege to serve at @Ligonier and get to know Dr. MacArthur as a trustworthy and gentle friend. Moreover, John’s friendship with R.C. will provide enduring lessons to generations of Christians. Rare to find such courage, boldness, and kindness in gospel ministry. May the Lord raise up many more workers for the abundant harvest, preachers who will not flinch in telling the truth. I will miss him greatly.
