Nothing Left to Prove, So Much Left to Do with Larry Johnston

Nothing Left to Prove, So Much Left to Do with Larry Johnston

Author: The Christian Research Institute May 29, 2025 Duration: 1:27:27
The following interview is from 2017, when Hank Hanegraaff was joined by the eminently quotable Larry Johnston, a friend and colleague of over forty years, for a wide-ranging conversation certain to send you searching for a dictionary. Today, Larry is absent from the body, present with the Lord. We don’t know the date of our death, but apart from the return of the Lord, we know that day will come. Larry’s testimony will impact your life, and we hope that you will walk away with a greater perspective of eternity—“Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.”
