This post contains a brief letter written by John MacArthur, which you may read for yourself, and the channel host’s commentary related to that letter and related matters. The video is worth hearing if you have 16 minutes to listen, as you will get a much better appreciation for what Pastor MacArthur is going through and how he continually dedicates his life to God for kingdom work. (I did not get that from merely reading the letter). Additionally, I am in my early 70’s, and I got from listening that MacArthur is providing a great model for the elderly among us, in terms of contemplating our own demise… it is so easy to be selfish, trying to grab the gusto before death occurs…. I survived prostate cancer… but realize death is hastening towards me and want to deal with it rightly.
