A prominent evangelical church in Los Angeles is suing state and county officials in California after being threatened with fines and jail time for gathering together for indoor worship.
Grace Community Church, which is pastored by John MacArthur, made headlines last month when they resumed in-person assembly in defiance of Democratic California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s renewed lockdown order. MacArthur and the church retained the legal counsel of the Thomas More Society last week after receiving a cease and desist letter from Los Angeles County threatening $1,000 daily fines and imprisonment.
In the complaint made public Thursday, lawyers for the church argue that state and county officials are violating six parts of the California State Constitution with their indefinite lockdown orders against houses of worship. They also contrast the treatment of churches with that of the protesters whose demonstrations roiled the state in the wake of George Floyd’s death.

Your prayers have been answered!
Problem is that Mac espouses heterodoxy in opposition to the historical doctrine of the one, holy, universal church.
He also twists doctrine to serve his own whims.
He leads the weak to despair with a too-heavy dose of The Law, allowing the Gospel to peek out occasionally from behind his collection plates.
Mac is just a self-serving social-club speaker hiding behind the Scripture.
No better than Joel Osteen.
