Pneumonia used to be called “the old man’s friend”.

I enjoyed the sermons of our former Freeper Pastor Bill Randles.

And the weekly postings by Charles Henrickson.

It’s not that important , but most Calvinists I know would reject his study Bible because he believes in the rapture and future millenial Israel,; what is important—to live is Christ, to die is gain.

I hope everyone here is familiar with his thousands of expository sermons preached over the past 55 years at GTY.org, though I must say the new format is a little cumbersome

I'm seeing reports that "Johnny Mac" has died.

https://x.com/Protestia/status/1944939129663311960

John Fullerton MacArthur Jr. (1939–2025) — pastor, teacher, author, and a stalwart defender of biblical truth — has entered the presence of his Lord and Savior at 6:17pm PT on July 14th, 2025 after a lifetime of faithful ministry. With profound sorrow yet deeper gratitude, we at Protestia mourn the earthly loss of a man whose legacy towers across the landscape not merely of conservative, reformed evangelicalism, but the universal church as a whole.

MacArthur served as the pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California for over 50 years, beginning in 1969. His long and faithful expositional ministry through every book of the Bible became a model of verse-by-verse preaching, setting a standard for generations of pastors. Under his leadership, Grace Church was not merely a local congregation but a beacon of doctrinal stability.

Etc.

God bless this man of God. He stood up to COVID (elderly euthanasia)

You are right about Pastor Jack Hibbs, been watching him since covid, I’m 72 and learned more from him than any other Pastor. He knows the Bible. JD Farag is also great. Olive tree ministry’s with Jan Markell, is great end times learning.

Thread wouldn’t be complete without mentioning his friend and stalwart fellowservant ( or as he’d prefer, fellowslave) David Martin Lloyd-Jones. Lloyd-Jones family presented his writing desk to JM on the occasion of his 50th anniversary at Grace Community Church.

RIP. I really liked his sermons. He was one of the very few that I actually trusted to be a “man of God”.

“American Biotics Silver Liquid heals pneumonia.”

It cures that pain caused by a fat wallet.

Yes, and that was before I stumbled on Jack Hibbs online so don’t remember.

Wow, that movie was a trip down memory lane.

Never did the drugs but whoever did the set and costuming did a great job.
