American Bible teacher, John MacArthur has died. The organisation that he led, Grace To You, issued a statement saying:
After dealing with some significant health challenges dating back to early 2023, our beloved pastor and teacher John MacArthur has gone to be with Christ. His earthly ministry has ended, and he has gone to his heavenly reward.
John MacArthur was the pastor of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, since 1969. He became president of The Master’s University in 1985, and president of The Master’s Seminary when it was founded in 1986.
From the beginning of his pulpit ministry, John has been the one and only Bible teacher with Grace to You. For decades, people have asked us a reasonable question: What will Grace to You do when the day comes that John goes to glory.
John’s answer has always been that we will keep doing what we’ve always done. While this is a profound loss, our commitment—our plan—has not changed. As the Lord sustains this work, Grace to You will always and only distribute the Bible teaching of John MacArthur.
Just as the details of John’s death are new to you, they are new to us as well. We probably have many of the same thoughts and feelings that you do. And while we grieve, we don’t grieve as those who are without hope (1 Thess. 4:13).
We currently have no details about services for John, but we will provide that information here as soon as we have it.
In 2020 Evangelical Times published an interview with John MacArthur, which you can read here.
