One by one, these heroes began to fall. They began to say and do things that did not line up with what Scripture teaches ….precious few held the line and finished well. R. C. Sproul and John MacArthur were among the few who did not waver. They stood strong while other men gave in to “the spirit of the age.”
(Geoff Kujawa – Clear Truth Media) John MacArthur is dead. And with him, the last of my heroes.
I became a believer in 2000 as a freshman in college and immediately went deep into theology. I looked for, and found, many voices I could reliably listen to for content to take me deeper into my faith. I quickly found guys like John Piper, Louie Giglio, Mark Dever, Al Mohler, R. C. Sproul, Tim Keller, Alistair Begg, and of course, John MacArthur.
As a young man, I had the great opportunity to attend the Together For The Gospel Conference (T4G) in 2008 and again in 2010. I got to sit under the teaching of many of the men mentioned above and other rising stars in Evangelicalism such as Matt Chandler, Thabiti Anyabwile, David Platt, and Kevin DeYoung. To say I was awestruck and felt like a big-time fan boy would be an understatement.
CRN has compiled a list of false teachers and several other professing Christians we’ve warned you about over the years. The list also contains those we must keep an eye on plus movements, organizations and “frauds, phonies and money-grubbing religious quacks” to mark and avoid as per Romans 16:17-18 such as those mentioned in the article.
