The simplest of all answers is that Christ is still building His church.
The church continued after the Apostles. The church continued after the Early Church Fathers. The church continued after Luther and Calvin. The church will keep on until the Lord returns.
We do not need another Voddie Baucham, John MacArthur, R.C, Sproul or Jerry Bridges. We need Biblically qualified men to stand in the church. We still need pastors not afraid to preach the whole council of God. We need ordinary people serving their churches who we may never know about.
The church will lose influential leaders again and again. It does not mean that God is done with the church. It means the church will continue. The gospel is still to be proclaimed. Missionaries need to go out. Local congregations need to focus on where they live and how to be serve them.
Christ is still building his church.
