Welcome to Politics by Faith.

Thanks for being here.

We're talking about heaven lately. I've been thinking a lot about heaven lately.

It started with the Texas flooding last week.

So I've just been thinking about it a lot.

Heaven sounds awesome.

Going to hell sounds terrible. Going to heaven sounds amazing.

Start off with that because John MacArthur, pastor of grace community church in Los Angeles,

passed away yesterday. He was 86. We of course, everyone, you listening here, we can all have discreements on theology and a couple

issues here and there. But what I most admire about Pastor MacArthur was his boldness.

He never let the world get to him in his life or his preaching. He got up and spoke boldly and presented the

gospel and dedicated his life to saving souls and speaking the truth. God's word. Grace to you,

which is like a ministry, wrote, our hearts are heavy yet rejoicing as we share the news that

our beloved pastor and

teacher John MacArthur has entered into the presence of the Savior. This evening, his faith

became sight. He faithfully endured until his race was run. I mean, like, that's perfect. I love

that. Love thinking of it that way, the biblical way.

And then they said 2 Timothy 4, 1 through 8.

I feel like we should read it.

I charge you in the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead.

And by his appearing in his kingdom, preach the word.

Be ready in season and out of season.
