Escalation! State will fight John MacArthur & Grace Community Church.."CUTTING POWER"!!
Capstone Report ^

Posted on 07/26/2020 8:57:36 AM PDT by RevelationDavid

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.

None of them deny that Christ is come in the flesh...referencing 1John4 and neither do you so that’s something the three of you have in common...just saying.

Sometimes dear believer it only takes one person to stand up! And I think Pastor John MacArthur threw down Gods Gauntlet today

If it’s red-balled to the USSC, then you have to worry about 4 libs + John Roberts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I would argue that the 4 libs + John Roberts need to WORRY about going against the church of Christ Jesus...God's Wrath will come down hard.

Our church was PACKED today... and is preaching the Word of God.
There were lines of cars waiting to get in the parking lot and a HUGE overflow crowd on the lawn outside!!
God Bless Jack Hibbs.

read 1 John 4...about the spirit of antichrist denying that Christ is come in the flesh(being the word made flesh as described in the gospel of john chapter 1.

None of these folks you don’t care for has denied Christ as being God in the flesh...whether they be arminian or not! Yet these folks hold more to an arminian mindset then you would suppose.

I just disagree with some things, I do NOT dislike them.

I know the antichrist’s time is near, it is speeding toward us.

I think there will always be things that some will have disagreements on but as the times go forward thosedifferences may subside as Christ’s coming gets closer....until one day..there will only be just him and all the rest of us and God being all in all!

“What time is tonight’s service “

Website says service starts at 6 pm — assume Pacific Time. Just click on the link that’s been posted frequently; you’ll find it there.
