@@judyswiderski2682 The meaning of the word "Service" used in Romans 12:1 is important. That's the word used in the King James Version. The original uses the Greek word "Latreia". Thayer's Greek Lexicon expounds the meaning of "Latreia": - "ministration (worship/divine service) to God". - also means "sacred service as per requirements of the Levitical Law". The Levitical Law was the law given for "approaching & worshipping" God in the Old Testament. The verses in the Bible where the same word "latreia" is used: John 16:2, Romans 9:4, Romans 12:1, Hebrews 9:1,6 When we imbibe the true meaning of 'worship' that 'born-again children of God' should involve themselves in, then we have truly realised who we are in Christ: His child & His temple, where He dwells. A born-again believer gives his whole body as "worship" to his Savior. Corporate/individual singing & music don't compare to it.
Sure, GOD still makes pastors like John, just not as visible. There are many devoted biblical pastors labouring in "obscurity". Besides the many others of his ilk that we do see - Lawson, Peters, Baucham,, to name a few. I am very grateful for his teaching and his life, but be careful not to put him on a pedestal, which many accuse of doing, and which he himself would not want.
@@judyswiderski2682 The NAS is one of the best English translations there is. Of course, if you have bought into the KJV only movement then you will likely not hear my my words. All enough translations though have their issues including the KJV.
@@retrograd332 EXACTLY! Every Bible is a translation of the original text. The NAS is a word for word translation. The KJV debate is one of the most ridiculous things by some that holds no weight at all.
Romans 12:1,2 We are to be a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God This is our true and proper worship. It's how we live our lives day by day, hour by hour, minute by minute, second by second.
Absolutely, our lives are the true worship of our Savior. Infact the way the born-again believer lives, rises like a sweet fragrance (of Christ living in us) unto God the Father. ✨2 Cor 2:15✨ "For we are a sweet perfume of Christ to God"

Jesus said you worship what you do not know . We worship what we know Jesus put himself into the worship category. So who does jesus worship? And made his name known? Jesus worshipped his father Jehovah God and told us to do the same

It’s a hard balance for these ministers. They deal with their own shortcomings. They are speaking messages that someone needs to hear. We can be patient and learn from them even if the message is mostly doctrine sprinkled with love. May we grow in maturity, too.
They don't make pastors like John anymore. Praise the Lord for John's submission to true word of God.
Cuz God's word hasn't been correctly handled for many years and people have become comfortable with that.
Dwayne Sanders yes there are many like him, God supplies his Church.
The NASB quotes Jesus in a lie. See comment above Dwayne Sanders.

May the Lord continue to bless you Pastor John MacArthur.

Hosea 6:6 For I delight in loyalty rather than sacrifice, And in the KNOWLEDGE of GOD rather than burnt offerings.
The hours of MacArthur sermons I've watched number well into the triple digits and I must say this is one of my new favorites.
