    This is such a pertinent and important message. Today's pastors must stay rooted and grounded in the scriptures in order to live out their convictions. Thank you, Pastor MacArthur, for this timely and important message. Stand firm, brothers and sisters, and fight the good fight. Even if we die, we will live - do you believe this? John 11:25-26. The Lord is coming soon to take the restrainer out, until then fight the good fight and contend for the faith, your families, friendships and also pray for the perishing - time is short.

    Children of this Generation   ‘Don’t feel sorry for or fear for your kids (grandkids) because the world they are going to grow up in is not what it used to be. God created them and has called them for the exact moment in time that they’re in. Your children’s (grandchildren's) lives weren’t a coincidence or an accident.   Raise them up to know the power they walk in as children of God. Train them up in the authority of His Word. Teach them to walk in faith knowing that God is in control. Empower them to know they can change the world.   Don’t teach them to be fearful and disheartened by the state of the world, but hopeful that they can do something about it. Every person in all of history has been placed in the time that they were in because of God’s sovereign plan.   God knew Daniel could handle the lion’s den. God knew David could handle Goliath. God knew Esther could handle Haman. God knew Peter could handle persecution.   God knows that your child (grandchild) can handle whatever challenge he or she will face in their life. God created them specifically for it! Don’t be scared for your children (grandchildren), but be honored that God chose you to parent (grandparent) the generation that is facing the biggest challenges of our lifetime.   Rise up to the challenge. Raise Daniels, Davids, Esthers and Peters!   God isn’t scratching His head wondering what He’s going to do with this mess of a world. God has an army He’s raising up to drive back the darkness and make Him known all over the earth.   Don’t let your fear steal the greatness God has placed in your children (grandchildren).   It’s hard to imagine your children (grandchildren) as anything besides ‘our sweet little babies that we just want to protect from anything that could ever be hard on them,’ but they have been born for such a time as this.' ~ Author Unknown

    I'm ever thankful for pastor John and his faithful ministry of delivering expository messages. But I'm also broken in my heart to see him aging 😢 I pray God give him long life for the sake of all the Christ followers!

    Satan is after our children. Please keep God in your family lives! As Joshua said: "as for me and my house, we shall serve the Lord" Joshua 24:15.🙏🇺

    In a world of charlatans and frauds, this man is the real deal.
  • @trulyso734
    Yes. Please adults, protect the kids. Especially Christian parents.. Do Not put those with no solid doctrinal anchor or no biblical discipline in charge of them. I have no children of my own but this has been in my heart too
  • @CogginsChurch

    Pastor John was the most important man of god during the lockdowns, he gave hope to so many, caused many pastors to pick up their cross and protect their sheep.
  • @edithjohnson6835
    I truly love this man. Even though I don’t know him personally, I know his thoughts, his heart. I thank the Lord Jesus for letting me find Dr. John on YouTube.

    J Mack is a legend for Christ. Not perfect. Not holy. But a true soldier for the cross.
