Phil Johnson — the right-hand man of John MacArthur, the executive director of Grace to You, and a voice of sanity and reason and theological stability in the Christian blogosphere — retired from blogging yesterday. A sad day for the blogosphere, but a wise choice for him:
So: (gladly, with no reluctance whatsoever) I’m officially retiring from blogging, social media, and every other activity that intrudes on things that ought to be the real priorities in the final two decades of a man’s life.…
But my blogging stops here. I’ve already got more than enough deadlines to keep me busy for the rest of my life, without the additional stress of writing 2-3 weekly posts and trying to keep up with every controversy in the blogosphere. As interesting as that is, it’s not my most important duty—by a long shot. And at my age, nothing would be more tragic than letting my priorities get confused.
“The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all” (2 Thessalonians 3:18). [Phil Johnson Unplugged.]
I’m grateful for all that he has written and grateful for the wisdom in making a decision like this. It’s a fitting reminder for all believers to always evaluate their activities to make sure they are doing the best and most essential things.
Words of Grace 
True, sometimes even teaching is not the most important thing I should be concerned with. Hard as that may sound Jesus Christ will be more interested in my ministry to my wife than to students.
Amen. I’m thankful for his clear thinking on so many biblical topics. This is another example.
