Gotta say, really respect this man. He is sort of my Grandpa in the Lord. He was my old youth pastor's (later senior pastor) Mentor. That pastor took me under his wing from the time I was in Jr. High School and used to give me rides to church. He is the one who introduced me to MacArthur's tape library and eventually John himself. But the main thing...have you been to Grace Community? You have to park 3 blocks away and hike in, unless you are early. I don't live in that part of the Country any longer, but it warms my heart to see so many flocking in to see uncompromising preaching. John eschews pop preaching and they even practice church discipline as taught in Matthew. John does not teach compomise or soft-pedal preach, yet folks pour in the learn the Word. This is a very rare thing in America today. John is the anti-Osteen, if I may be so crude. He is very loving and uncompromising at the same time. Ready to point out error and ready to forgive. There is much to admire about his walk.
Nice photo indeed. Thanks so much for sharing. Like going through the old photo album.
