From an interview of John MacArthur by Pat Abendroth, Omaha Bible Church. John is discussing his role as a defender of God’s truth against attacks over the years.
“I never believed that I would spend most of my ministry trying to defend the Gospel from so-called evangelicals. There’s a massive shift – as evangelicalism began to expand and lose its boundaries and its borders and its theology, it began itself to attack the Gospel. It’s done it a number of ways and it keeps doing it even now.
“Every time I’m writing a book trying to defend the Gospel, there’s another little nuance, and I’m about to write another one, because you just have to keep up with the deviations. They come, not from liberals, from confessed liberals, but from confessed evangelicals, who may in fact not be entitled to that term, but they use it.”
