John MacArthur As He Has Always Been

               Whereas R. C. Sproul spent his long and marvelous ministry extolling the holiness of God....and teaching the wonderful truths of His Word....and whereas John Piper continues to recommend the glorious being of the Lord Jesus Christ to all who will hear him....and the glory of the message of salvation.....John MacArthur has ministered essentially to America for four decades....primarily that of a teaching ministry....and that teaching on repentance and the Lordship of Jesus Christ over all of creation. Wonderful ministries they were and still are as R. C. Sproul's ligonier.org....continues on after R. C. went to be with his Lord and Savior in December of 2017.
                John MacArthur stood before his congregation....I watched this through his Internet website.....and proclaimed that there was no pandemic. He took what was probably a surprise phone call from then President Trump and told him that all true believers would be on his side in the election....which in effect labelled all of us who would not vote for not only a false prophet but an antichrist....as the Apostle John described 'antichrists' to be....proclaimed all of us not to be true believers.....and he became the leader of evangelical pastors who demanded that all church doors remain open during the pandemic....whereas previously he was highly critical of these open doors that through which there was no gospel preached. So this has been three years now of somewhat of a deviation from the previous four decades....but when he preaches the gospel as he always had....which he is still doing....it is as strong and at times stronger then it has ever been.
                I put before you his sermon.....up front on his gty.org website right now....his sermon from October 8th....one day after Israel was attacked....from Luke 13: 1-9....titled....Seek The Lord While He May Be Found.
                Pastor MacArthur did what pastors are supposed to do in such a situation of such a major and catastrophic event....an event that strikes at the heart of the Christian's relatively short life on this earth....he preached on it....with an unction....and I hope that you might sit down and listen to it.
                It's not a political message....and it is not dealing with prophecy....other than God's word that prophesies to all that God has given time to repent....and that He has been patient....but no one....not individuals nor nations....know when that patience will end.
