When I was a young Christian years ago, I would listen to hours and hours of teaching on Christian radio.
There were some way off nut cases, some solid Biblical Teaching, some Old Fashioned Gospel Music, End Times Prophecies, Some “Prosperity” Teaching, J. Vernon MaGee, Jimmy Swaggert, just about everything you could imagine.
Whenever John MacArthur’s “Grace to You” program came on, I would brace myself, because I knew he would say SOMETHING that would have a profound disconnect with COMMON SENSE! Not to mention acute feelings of condemnation and doubting of one’s own salvation.
But he did it with such erudition and authority!
The Lutheran Church in Germany during WW2 is still trying to atone for “being in submission to governing authorities”.
But as for me, Give me a Deitrich Bonheoffer!
Jesus did that a lot also.
