YouTube - John Macarthur Abandoned by God
A blogger prompted me to look at Rev. John MacArthur, a 5-point, dispensational Baptist from Grace Chapel, California. Some quick notes.
1. Abandonment by God of 'Merica, our nation. Evidenced by rampant, lawless, godless and immorally disastrous sexuality. Rom.1.18ff.
2. This is a very bold and admirable preacher, albeit we differ profoundly on ecclesiology, covenant, sacraments, Prayer Book Churchmanship and other matters.
3. Moving musical track as the backdrop. The question, "Has HM withdrawn His hand on this culture and this nation?" Deny Biblical authority, the deity and humanity of Christ, the character of God, atonement, propitiation, etc. 'Merikan mainliner [PV, my insert] chaos, including the Episcobaalian perversions. "Even though they knew God..."
4. PV comment: As a Law and Gospel man, inculcated by long exposure to the old Prayer Book and English Bible, this man, Mac, bring law to bear on the culture. "Abandoned by God?"
5. A "famine for the hearing of God's Word."
Commendable leadership in conversation with the issues of the day.
