In Memoriam

Today, I've come out of a long hiatus to mourn the loss of a dear brother, teacher, scholar, pastor, and father in the Lord, R.C. Sproul.

Words cannot express the impact Dr. Sproul's teaching has had on my Christian life. He was one of the finest preachers one could have the joy of hearing and very formative in what I now believe and how I communicate it.
Even having never met him, I feel a profound sense of sadness and loss at his passing.
Dr. Sproul, a brilliant and fierce defender of reformed orthodoxy, was truly one of the greatest theologians of his time and will likely be remembered as such. I'm privileged to have shared a brief period on this earth with him.

Let's continue to pray for Vesta, the rest of the family, and Ligonier Ministries in this difficult, sad, and yet joyful time. More information about R.C.'s life and ministry, as well as details about the memorial service, can be found here.

Dr. Sproul is now with the Lord whom he served so faithfully in some 50 years of gospel ministry. Rest well, R.C.. We'll meet someday.

Rev. Dr. Robert Charles Sproul
Feb. 13, 1939 - Dec. 14, 2017
"Well done, thou good and faithful servant."
