Summary

Segment 1:

• Dr. John MacArthur has passed, but his gospel legacy endures.

• He was simply a tool in the Carpenter’s hand—Christ deserves the glory.

• Mourn not fearfully, but gratefully: “Look what Jesus has done.”

Segment 2:

• MacArthur preached through the New Testament for 42 years, never wavering from expository preaching.

• He carried himself with pastoral dignity, never settling for entertainment over shepherding souls.

• When death comes, serious men—not silly ones—are the pastors we long for.

Segment 3:

• College students today can’t explain basic Christian doctrines.

• Emotional reasoning and claims of oppression now trump truth.

• New campus events will tackle why young adults are “deconstructing” their faith.

Segment 4:

• Baylor University returned $630,000 meant for LGBT research—good news!

• Disturbing data: professing Christians report record levels of pornography addiction.

• If you’re not part of a local church, you’re missing vital gospel growth.
