America is the greatest country in the world.

Welcome to our special here on the first TV.

Who was John MacArthur?

John MacArthur, a favorite preacher of mine, passed away at the age of 86 the other day.

Today's special is about his life and service.

And listen, maybe we're going to have some theological issues here or there.

If you're watching now, you're like, I don't like when he said this or whatever.

And those things are always great to talk about it.

Maybe some of those will come up today.

But the goal is to be inspired by his boldness and his dedication to preaching God's word

that we can all learn from and apply to our lives, even if we're not preachers.

Sky Schaeffler is a good example of this, right? He's a golfer, sure, whatever.

And he'll be the first to tell you, whatever, but Christian first.

But we all have opportunities to share the gospel.

Here's an example of MacArthur's boldness.

He was on Larry King Live in 2005, and he was with another person on Larry King Live,

a young man by the name of Gavin Newsom, when he was the mayor of San Francisco,

they just legalized gay marriage in San Francisco when you had John MacArthur and Gavin Newsom talking to each other.

I'm a practicing Catholic. I got married in the church two plus years. I don't see what we're doing in terms of advancing the bond of love and monogamy

and extending that to families, families of same-sex, in any way, shape or form, takes

away anything from the church or the sanctity of the union that my wife and I have.

I would just like to ask the mayor as a practicing Catholic, do you believe the Bible
