“Phil Johnson … shared on social media that Pastor John MacArthur is currently receiving treatment for complications stemming from a heart valve replacement he received last year.” - C.Leaders
“Gavin Ortlund addresses Cameron Bertuzzi’s question at @CapturingChristianity about how we know the New Testament canon.” - YouTube
