Life of a Pastor

John MacArthur's ministry is a shining example of faithfulness to God, love for God's word, and love for the church of Jesus Christ. In these days, as we remember his passage into eternity, it is helpful to draw some practical conclusions about pastoral ministry and its place and role in the life of the church, according to God's design.

We do not worship leaders who have influenced us spiritually. While we are grateful to them, we realize that the primary value is in the Word they preached. And that value is tremendous. It is crucial to remember it.
