“Yes, I do,” came the reply. Reflecting on the exchange, Washer said, “Do you see a relationship between men? One far greater than the other but nevertheless a relationship between brothers.”
Washer went on to quote the opening verses of the Old Testament book of Joshua, which describes the death of Moses and the passing of his leadership to Joshua.
“John MacArthur is dead. Voddie Baucham is dead. R.C. Sproul is dead. James Boyce is dead,” said Washer. “Their legacy will go on, but you cannot live on their legacy. And this church cannot exist, maintain, advance on the legacy of men that have now gone to home to be with the Lord.”
“Our greatest problem in the Kingdom of Heaven today is always the same problem: a lack of godly, Spirit-filled, Bible-saturated men,” said Washer. “When certain men die, it can be a discouragement…[But] what you and I need to understand is that there is only one hero in this gospel story.”

“And it is not me. It is not you. It is not John MacArthur. And it is not R.C. Sproul. It is not Charles Spurgeon. It is not [George] Whitefield. It is not [Jonathan] Edwards,” Washer continued. “It is Jesus Christ. And Jesus Christ is seated upon a throne in full glory and full power, and [he] longs to show himself strong among men whose hearts belong to him.”
