R.C talked a lot of sense. He was such a gifted theologian, able to explain things in such a relatable way. The legacy that we have now through Ligonier was the ministry God had him set up for our benefit and the many gifted theologians, teaching fellows that partner with Ligonier are so appreciated. I thank God for each one of them. This particular podcast gives a little taster, just enough to meditate on until the next sermon. Hopefully the sermon that the snippet came from.
