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.

It’s in Santa Clarita, CA. We used to go to their Christmas consertt — which are amazing!! Pretty fundamental. MacArthur wrote the Forword to a book my cousin wrote.

I would imagine that the church board and elders have their legal ducks in a row.

They know what they are dealing with and it may be that they didn’t do this sooner because they were working out the details and potential for consequences and their response to it.

John Roberts just last week joined the communist on the Court and refused to hear another church case in NV. That is two now.

Gorsuch wrote, “But there is no world in which the Constitution permits Nevada to favor Caesars Palace over Calvary Chapel.”

“Christians really don’t give a rat’s axe if there is power.”

Exactly what my sister said five minutes ago.

I don’t think MacArthur met with any lawyers before making this decision. The only Person he consulted about this was God.

He did this now because Newsome stepped over the line.

It’s time all churches took this stand.

Legal Shmegal. This is spiritual warfare. MacArthur’s letter laid out scriptural reasons for resuming his flock’s meetings, not legal/constitutional ones.

I didn’t mean it in that way.

I’m sure he intended on doing it all along but I still think that they are doing it with legal backup and consideration knowing what the fall out is going to be. They ought to be prepared with something for an immediate response when CA predictably retaliates instead of being caught flat footed.

I wonder how many of the folks who went left their cell phones at home to foil contact tracing using cell phone data.

Cut power huh?
Is that the best they can do?
That’s easily overcome isn’t it?
Besides you don’t need power to worship God.

Nice observation. We have to be prepared to do battle in many different ways.
