My tribute to John MacArthur at @truth_unashamed. I take a unique perspective on his leadership and influence. unashamedtruth.org/articles/johnm…
Every believer will inevitably produce spiritual fruit in keeping with repentance. It is the outcome of the work of the Holy Spirit. IOW, there is no such thing as a Christian who is not a disciple. There is no such thing as the perpetual carnal Christian.
What evangelicalism needs desperately is courageous Christians with spiritual steel in their spines. Men and women who are willing to boldly stand where the Word of God stands without apology or caveat. When the culture rejects the truth, it's time to double-down on the truth.
To preach effectively, the preacher must: 1) Be called to be a preacher. 2) Be obedient to all of Christ's commands in his life. 3) Be faithful to the truth of God's Word in his teaching. 4) Walk in humble dependence upon the Holy Spirit for power.
God’s mercies are new every morning. May Christ be honored this Lord’s Day.
The reason why godliness is in such short supply is because very few actually spend time with the living God. To be godly, you must press into His presence.

When a Christian willfully violates God's commands or promotes what God says is wrong, they move into a place of discipline and disfellowship. The way that fellowship with God is restored is by repenting and confessing the sin. Endeavoring to walk in obedience before Christ.

In opposition against all ministry advance of the Church is the work of Satan. He opposes. He slanders. He lies. He maligns. He terrifies. He persecutes. He deceives. He accuses. He counterfeits. He kills. He steals. Be vigilant. And "Resist him and he will flee from you."
John MacArthur is now with the Lord. In a powerful tribute, @grcastleberry reflects on MacArthur’s life, preaching, and sacred anointing. unashamedtruth.org/articles/johnm…
I used to find John MacArthur unbearable. He embodied everything I didn’t want to be. I was young church planter. MacArthur wasn’t “cool.” He wore suits and didn’t seem nice. But that all changed in 2020. The model of ministry I had adopted proved both unable and unwilling to…
Much will be said and written about John MacArthur in the coming weeks. Only heaven will reveal his impact on the church, pastors, and generations of believers around the world. Here are a few quick thoughts:
