John MacArthur - The Narrow Gate and the Broad Way (Part 1 of 6)

John Fullerton MacArthur, Jr. (born June 19, 1939 in Los Angeles, California) is a United States evangelical writer and minister, noted for his radio program entitled Grace to You. MacArthur is a fifth-generation pastor, a popular author and conference speaker, and has served as the pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California since 1969, and as the President of The Master's College (and the related The Master's Seminary) in Santa Clarita, California.

Theologically, MacArthur is a conservative Baptist, a strong proponent of expository preaching, a dispensationalist and a Calvinist. He has been acknowledged by Christianity Today as one of the most influential preachers of his time, and is a frequent guest on Larry King Live as representative of an evangelical Christian perspective.

MacArthur has authored or edited more than 150 books, most notably the MacArthur Study Bible, which has sold more than 1 million copies and received a Gold Medallion Book Award. Other best-selling books include his MacArthur New Testament Commentary Series (more than 1 million copies), Twelve Ordinary Men, (more than 500,000 copies), and the children's book A Faith to Grow On, which garnered an ECPA Christian Book Award.

The son of Jack MacArthur (an accomplished preacher in his own right), John MacArthur was an athlete and attended Bob Jones University before transferring to Los Angeles Pacific College (now Azusa Pacific University). He later obtained his Masters of Divinity from Biola University's Talbot Theological Seminary, in La Mirada, California. He graduated with honors. From 1964 to 1966, he served as an associate pastor at Calvary Bible Church, in Burbank, California and, from 1966 to 1969, as a faculty representative for Talbot Theological Seminary. Then, in 1969, he became the third pastor in the then-short history of the nondenominational Grace Community Church of Sun Valley, California.

His daily radio program, Grace to You, which is now broadcast throughout much of the world, began as an audio recording ministry to provide cassettes of his sermons to church members who were unable to attend. They were first broadcast in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1977.

In 1985, MacArthur became the president of The Master's College (formerly Los Angeles Baptist College), an accredited, four-year, liberal arts Christian college; and, in 1986, he founded The Master's Seminary.

MacArthur received a doctorate from Talbot Theological Seminary and an honorary doctorate from Grace Graduate School.

no seriously, john macarthur has got to be one of the best preachers i have ever heard. his love for the truth is so evident. where there's no passion for the truth, there is no passion for christ. it's as simple as that.

What has that got to do with the message. MacArthur and the master seminary have produced many faithful men who have a love and a high view of God and the scriptures. The problem us that we have this American gospel (easy beleivism, health wealth and prosperity, emergent/ missional churches that preach a false gospel. They preach cheap grace which the reality is no grace.

AMEN!

He who loves wife or husband more than CHRIST is not worthy of him! Just because a person goes to the cemetary, i mean the seminary, even John Macarthurs "Masters seminary" doesn't mean anything. Some of the most damnable and subtle hypocrites come out of seminary, like for instance The people-pleasing renowned false professor; David Carnahan!
