R.C. Sproul 1939—2017
It is with heavy hearts we share the news that Dr. R.C. Sproul went home to be with the Lord on Thursday, December 14 around 3 p. m. He died peacefully, surrounded by his wife, Vesta, and family. He was 78.
Known to millions of Christians as simply “R.C.,” he was used of the Lord to proclaim, teach, and defend the holiness of God in all its fullness. R.C. now sees the object of his faith, the risen Christ, high and lifted up. He now hears the seraphim’s song before the throne, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of his glory!”

[Editor's comment: I have never met R. C. Sproul in person. However, I have delighted to read his writings, and to listen to his teaching via video/voice recordings on the Internet. He is a man who loved God with all his heart, and devoted his life to teach and proclaim the Word of God. He inspired and instructed me in the things of God and His plan of salvation for all mankind.
Of all the adjectives we could use to describe this man of God, it seems that the most fitting word is "faithful." That is what the Bible declares is a requirement for a person's stewardship.
The Apostle Paul wrote, "Moreover it is required in stewards that one be found faithful" (1 Corinthians 4:2, NKJV).
