A Prince has Fallen

"Know ye not that there is a prince and a great man fallen this day in Israel?"

Words cannot begin to describe my feelings of loss at the passing of Dr. R. C. Sproul into glory. Like thousands of others, I first came to know the Reformed faith through the teachings of Sproul and can still remember the Sunday School lessons we had with his lecture videos in our dear church Westminster Presbyterian in Vincennes, Indiana. He ran his race faithfully and was, I believe, the greatest American reformer since Jonathan Edwards. Below is a little video of Sproul talking about his favorite subject, the Holiness of God; which holiness he now eternally endures with a reverent adoration, clothed with the righteousness of Jesus Christ. A prince is fallen in Israel.
