Johnson says, ‘State & Local leaders plan to cut power to the church’
John MacArthur challenges Leftist Tyrants; State promises crackdown
Conservative Pastor John MacArthur puts the People’s Republic of California on notice: Christ is head of the church and not Caesar.
Johnson says, ‘State & Local leaders plan to cut power to the church’
Compare Leftist love for riots, casinos and Black Lives Matter to how they persecute Christ’s Church.
In a powerful statement Pastor John MacArthur of Grace To You put the State of California on notice: Christians will not bow to oppression.
MacArthur argued for sphere sovereignty. He said that God ordained various types of authority like the family, the church and the state. Each is granted unique power from God and should defend its sphere of interest from intrusion by the others.
This is very good. It recognizes government has limited authority. This is critical in time like this where the very future of limited government is at stake. MacArthur’s statement will fuel a renewed Christian interest in defending both church and individual rights from government intrusion.
MacArthur does another important service by asserting our rights preceded the creation of the state. Thus, rights are not granted by the State or the Constitution. Thus, our rights are not resting on the good will of the state or even our Constitution, but rather God and God’s created order.
I have a few minor quibbles with MacArthur on political theology—but that is for another time. Now we must stand shoulder-to-shoulder with MacArthur, the elders and the people of Grace Community Church.
Pray.

Excellent.
I think I have it.
The message I’m getting is on John 3 and being born again.
You ruined the thread. Who wants to wade past your repetitive posts to see other informative content?
I think you should re-think your strategy. Make your point, then leave it alone.
Ken, it was a ‘live event’.....I kept the thread fresh for that purpose alone. Thanks for your input.

There isn’t a battle more worthy of fighting

Sorry I did not make myself clear. I was referring to the Government. I support John MacArthur in this battle.

Gay bath houses are open in Kali.
Anyone feeling stupid yet? Churches closed but sodomite centers are open?
This ain’t about a virus. Never was. This shutdown is about politics.
About 3/4 down that page is the re-play of yesterday’s morning service (July 26). Around the 25:00 mark is when the congregations gives a standing ovation to the pastor.
I am one of those with doctrinal and other quibbles with MacArthur but in this matter I stand solidly in prayer and shoulder-to-shoulder with the Grace Church elders.
