His legacy is best seen in the legacy of every soul he touched; in every life he shepherded; in every person he equipped; in every family he strengthened; in every disciple he lead. Samuel Johnson says, “The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good ” Dwight L Moody once said, “The measure of a man is not how many servants he has but how many men he serves. ” And Marcus Aurelius reminds us to “Bear in mind that the measure of a man is the worth of the things he cares about.” These are all expressly true for R C Sproul And if these are true of Sproul, then they are especially true for the recipient of the R. C. Sproul Blessing, our founder, our teacher, our mentor, and our friend, Doctor George Grant.
