When Believers Stop Believing: Portrait of an Apostate

Very sobering interview!

"...it’s the letter you never want to get. It’s the story you never want to hear. You want to believe that anybody exposed to the truth of the gospel over a prolonged period of time, deeply exposed to it by listening to CDs and reading books and being ten years in the ministry, is going to continually discover the ever-increasingly glorious truth. You don’t want to believe that somebody who is listening to teaching and reading books and ministering and studying and sharing the gospel is finding it has diminishing returns and ultimately ends up an apostate. That seems completely counter to what we believed to be true about the essence of divine truth that it becomes richer and richer and more fulfilling and more wonderful all the time. So this is the kind of reverse of that, that’s very hard to understand." -John MacArthur
