Safe in the Arms of God

The death of a child is a painful loss experienced by many parents. For anyone who has lost a young child, it should be of great comfort to know that they are safe in the arms of God. Pastor John MacArthur recently aired a sermon series to give hope to grieving parents.

If you have recently lost  a child, I hope you will find great comfort and encouragement from the following messages.

Toxic Television

Pastor John MacArthur recently had knee replacement surgery. Unfortunately, there were a few complications that left him bedridden for several months. It was during this time that he viewed a considerable amount of "Christian" television. An experience that he would describe as more painful than the knee surgery itself. The end result of his suffering is a two-part series titled, Toxic Television: A Biblical Answer to the Prosperity Gospel.


These are very important issues facing the church. Pastor MacArthur lays out in no uncertain terms why the prosperity gospel is a false and dangerous teaching. The audio is linked below; you can also read the transcripts or download the sermons for free at GTY (also linked below).

“Jesus Christ broke the power of sin and death, but the converse is not true. Sin and death cannot break the power of Jesus Christ. The condemnation of Adam’s sin is reversible, the redemption of Jesus Christ is not. The effect of Adam’s act is permanent only if not nullified by Christ. The effect of Christ’s act, however, is permanent for believing individuals and not subject to reversal or nullification. We have the great assurance that once we are in Jesus Christ, we are in Him forever.”

Notable quotables

“The Spirit-filled life does not come through mystical or ecstatic experiences but from studying and submitting oneself to Scripture. As a believer faithfully and submissively saturates his mind and heart with God’s truth, his Spirit-controlled behavior will follow as surely as night follows day. When we are filled with God’s truth and led by His Spirit, even our involuntary reactions— those that happen when we don’t have time to consciously decide what to do or say—will be godly.”

—John MacArthur

Notable quotables

“Scripture makes clear that there is indeed a way to God, but that it is not based on anything men themselves can do to achieve or merit it. Man can be made right with God, but not on his own terms or in his own power. In that basic regard Christianity is distinct from every other religion. As far as the way of salvation is concerned, there are therefore only two religions the world has ever known or will ever know—the religion of divine accomplishment, which is biblical Christianity, and the religion of human achievement, which includes all other kinds of religion, by whatever names they may go under.”

—John MacArthur
