Yesterday, December 14, 2017, the world lost a man who faithfully followed God’s call and influenced the world for Christ in so many ways. Pastor, author, apologist, theologian, and founder of Ligonier Ministries R. C. Sproul had been hospitalized for a serious respiratory condition and went home to be with the Lord at the age of 78.
In the wake of Sproul’s passing, Christian leaders weighed in, paying tribute to this titan of Christian thought and sending condolences and prayers to his grieving family.
In a moving tribute piece, Al Mohler wrote, “R.C.’s voice was captivating. Honestly, I probably would have listened to him read the Farmer’s Almanac. But the power of his teaching was the vitality and virility of biblical Christianity, presented logically, forcefully, biblically, and passionately.
My own pilgrimage as a theologian cannot be traced without the indelible influence of R.C. Sproul. Had I never met him in the flesh, I would have been in his debt and gifted with his influence. By God’s grace, I came to know R.C. Sproul as a teacher, colleague, encourager, and friend.”
Pastor and author Jared C. Wilson tweeted:
