Not sure what to say?

God used Dr. John MacArthur to open my eyes to the truth of His Word. While studying in the seminary for the Catholic priesthood in the Philippines, I would listen to the Grace to You radio broadcasts. His verse-by-verse expository preaching convinced me to leave the Catholic Church. When I later moved to California, I visited Grace Community Church. As Dr. MacArthur preached on Philippians 3, tears streamed down my face. I couldn´t help but reflect on the ten years I had spent training to...

My heart is broken hearing of his passing. Please leave the app going. I need to hear his sermons. I need to learn more about the Lord he´s the best teacher of scripture.May the God of comfort comfort the MacArthur family.

I´m so sorry for your loss. Pastor John was a deep influence on my studying of the Bible. I´m grateful that I found him and his ministry. I´ll pray for his family and friends to receive comfort and healing from the Lord.

Pastor-Teacher John MacArthur influenced my approach to studying, teaching and preaching God´s Holy Word. Thank you and rest well sir.

Always a true servant for God. Will be sorely missed. But to die is gain.

Dear Uncle John, Thank you for being a beacon of light for the Lord of all lords and King of all kings glory in your years with us on this earth. I am convinced that when you entered the Glory of the Lord, He said to you enter into My rest good and faithful servant. Gerrie Olivier Durban South Africa

I was blessed by the preaching of God's Word when he came to Northern California.. It was truly nice meeting him personally:)

So very thankful for this man of GOD. At the age of 83 I gleaned heavily from his knowledge of and love for God´s Word! Each week as I prepared to teach a mixed group of adults the WORD on Sunday. I sought out Bro John´s teaching on the topic and scripture. He taught so elegantly, yet so passionately bringing me to deeper love for Christ and THE WORD. I am MOST grateful for God placing Rev. John McArthur in my path thru social media and his books!

I thank God Almighty for His solider, John MacArthur,another solider that fought a good fight, kept the faith in the Almighty GOD! Mr. & Mrs. V.J. Harris, Sr.
