“Lord, keep me faithful” - John MacArthur

[@GraceandTruthChurchofAthens]

Wow, the timing of this post can not go unnoticed. Yes, may the Lord keep all of us faithful!

[@patricklacson]

Yes!

[@ghud3169]

We have been abundantly blessed that the Lord grew up this great man of faith for our generation. I love Pastor MacArthur so much. I have grown immensely in the faith because of his teaching and steadfast commitment to the Truth. Father God, please take extra special care of this warrior in Jesus' mighty name. Amen 🙏

It is a supernatural thing to be saved and to remain in Christ.

[@5warpotentials258]

Not at all it’s predestined if you become an apostate it’s because it was ordained by God, remember no free will to choose because it’s already predetermined

[@stefanvitale4850]

I disagree. I think it is supernatural since it’s God’s grace that keeps me in Jesus and his grace that placed me in Jesus.

[@jerrylin9018]

lol reminded me of john gresham machen. he talks about supernatural alot in his book

[@lavenderflowers1075]

Yes John , I think your faithful , finish well

[@deborahsnyder697]

I'm grateful for John MacArthur.

[@WayneSmith-zx3tf]

I know some will disagree with me but John MacArthur will be one of the few great pastor/preachers in our lifetimes. Like Sproul, McGee, Baucham and many others, he'll still be preaching 100 years from now through recorded sermons.

[@patricklacson]

@@WayneSmith-zx3tf agree, but he is a mere man that the Lord used greatly. Be grateful for your pastor who has shepherded you and loved you.

[@WayneSmith-zx3tf]

@@patricklacson Oh, trust me, I am! My pastor preaches the word of God and does not water it down. No "feel good" gospel in our church.

[@KensCinemaSofa]

Speaking as a missionary in the field, and in light of news that has come forth this week regarding another prominent leader, while they are a blessing to the church, let us keep our eyes on the ONLY perfect One, as the best pastors do, JESUS CHRIST! THAT out of anything will make a godly pastor happy, that the eyes of the sheep remain on the chief shepherd: the only One that gave His life for us.

Salvation is not through works

[@MrWeebable]

Why wouldn't the Lord keep someone faithful? If the Lord would so decide to NOT keep someone faithful, what's that prayer going to change about it?

[@patricklacson]

Thank you for visiting. Your view seems fatalistic in that your perception of God's purposes and plans removes all human responsibility including God's command for us to pray.

[@Jazzfestn]

Salvation does NOT depend on OUR faithfillness - but GOD'S faithfullness! "I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you"! EVERYONE has FAILED GOD at one time or another- even JOHN THE BAPTIST while imprisoned, sent his disciples to verify if Jesus was the Christ! Yet Jesus said of John that "there was NONE GREATER than John"!

[@rdrift1879]

I'm not sure the way counselees are treated at Pastor MacArthur's church is always faithful to Christ. But we will all face the judgment seat.

[@minorsingingairhead]

He still has time to _become_ faithful.

[@johnIII8211]

Explain?

[@minorsingingairhead]

@@johnIII8211 I don't consider John MacArthur to be faithful to Scripture in many ways. His Calvinism is, of course, the obvious example. Faithfulness goes beyond avoiding gross sins like those committed by Art Azurdia or Steve Lawson. Teachers will receive stricter judgment (James 3:1). Maximally influential teachers like MacArthur will receive maximally strict judgment.

[@TerryYancey-p9v]

What's your biggest issue with Calvinism?

[@minorsingingairhead]

@@TerryYancey-p9v It's not biblical. That's a big issue, because Calvinism is all about big issues like God and salvation.

[@jonathonjankovich1689]

@@minorsingingairhead I think John MacArthur would disagree with you. I'm fairly certain the only label he would accept or choose is "Christian". It's a worldly thing to say, "I am of Paul" or "I am of Cephas" or "I am of Calvin...Arminius...Wesley", says Paul...

[@JBM101]

So if you are not faithful you can blame the Lord for His failiing in keeping you faithful ... ahhhh I see!

@@JBM101 there are tensions in the Bible regarding the Christian life. Example jude 1:24 , phil 1:6.

[@alexglase765]

Do you think you can remain faithful apart from God’s power?

[@tbuitendyk]

Strange that a fatalist would ask God to do anything .... In eternity past the God of Calvinism already decided whether he would unilaterally make you faithful or not, so your request is meaningless!

[@patricklacson]

Thank you for visiting. Please read Jude 1:24,25

This man needs to stop hateful attacks on fellow Christians on public forums. He must understand the damage that is done, the grief to the Holy Spirit and the eternal consequence of bringing accusation and hateful comment against those of differing Biblical understanding of the work of the Holy Spirit. Bearing false witness and hating your brother is no small issue. There is a place for disagreement, but not on public platforms where the unbelieving people will see when we have no love for one another. Learn how to disagree in love. Anything else is rooted in pride.

[@gilbertgaytan7427]

Wow! Jesus called it out! Left us the example to call out those who don't see their folly, I thank God for men like Dr John MacArthur for their faithfulness to preaching God's word without scandals in his life he's got a track record to prove God's favor upon him and the ministry, you my brother ask God to reveal to you any agent of Satan who would try and distort your walk with God.

Do not judge you don’t even know the heart of John scriptures are clear to call out false teachings that’s not being hateful speaking the truth in love make so many uncomfortable

[@TruthIsAsOldAsGod]

If you were to proclaim biblical truth that differed from Johns, wouldn’t that make YOU a false teacher using your own line of thinking? Just because you don’t agree doesn’t make HIM false. Just because truth offends you it doesn’t make it wrong. Any preacher can preach love all day everyday. God chose John and gave him boldness of speech and a heart of study.

So crazy how much it takes to be saved and sanctified - why were created in the first place?

[@rebat7564]

@@AllSven Ephesians 2:10 for we are his workmanship created in Christ Jesus for good works which God prepared before hand that we should walk in them( that’s why we are created) in Matthew, we read about the Pearl of great price and the hidden treasure that is exactly being saved and sanctified you give everything up, and it comes at a great cost just to find the hidden treasure and the Pearl of great price in simple language, we can compare our heavenly father to our earthly father, who is longing for a child to love to give him joy to follow his path and to bring honor to him. It is for the father’s joy and the sons good the son could grow up and deny the father , and we see that happening, but if he stays true to him, then he gets everything the father decides for him here and in the future
