John MacArthur challenges Leftist Tyrants; State promises crackdown
Conservative Pastor John MacArthur puts the Peoples 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 Christs 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. MacArthurs 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 Gods created order.
I have a few minor quibbles with MacArthur on political theologybut that is for another time. Now we must stand shoulder-to-shoulder with MacArthur, the elders and the people of Grace Community Church.
Pray.

But just peachy to allow riots. Here we go..
Where is this church?
That’s what the candles and stained-glass windows are for!
Anyone got some generators to tie in?
Maybe the state should make all the church attendees wear a yellow star to mark them as church-attenders.
Wherever two or more of you are gathered in my name the State of California has forbidden it.
There are some battles you are better off not fighting. The state is big and powerful and can use force to get its way.
But what is it going to look like?
The state using all its force against members of a church while ignoring rioting mobs burning down buildings?
California has become a one party state and the watchdog media has become their lapdog. We may be observing the beginning of the end of the Democrat control of the state.
The gates of Hell shall not prevail!
Sick Marxist Newsom.
Good job, Pastor! I know who wins this battle.
I wish other prominent, nationally known pastors had the courage to speak out on the issues of our day.
Especially African Americans who should be calling out the scourge that is black lives matter every day.
Buy generators
and yet unlimited anarchy in the streets is being actively encouraged in Democrat-run cities: religion illegal; street anarchy good ...
Then we’ll fight them ON ICE!
The judge ordered that they be allowed to open.
As important as the 2nd Amendment is it can easily be argued that the 1st Amendment...freedom of religion and freedom of peaceful assembly...is at least as important,and maybe even more important,than the 2nd Amendment.
There's gotta be a judge somewhere in Kalifornia...state or Federal...who doesn't hold the US Constitution in total contempt as so many Rat and RINO politicians do.
Here is a case where the federal government could get involved and force the state to stand down.
A first amendment issue.
As long as the pastor practices health guidelines such as keeping distances and..yes face masks-although IMO they dont work, he must be allowed to carry on. They could hold several services to make up for those attending people.
Moreover, the state of CA is violating the equal protection issue by not enforcing its law to include ALL organizations and gatherings. What is good for one, is good for all.
I read the letter/article MacArthur wrote as to what and why he was doing. In it, he quoted Yeshua and what He said would happen to those who followed Him.
Since Newsom is governed by Satan, I am not surprised.
It’s gonna get interesting.....and what a thing for G-d to take a an active role in this. Even though I know G-d’s entire being is about love, what I mean is to see people be struck blind that try to cut the power...or even to see people drop dead. Look at the Scriptures...it HAS happened to those who try to cross the Almighty.

Cutting electrical power?
That’s what backup standby power units are for, and they almost certainly were required to include one in their building plans.
Churches are shut down. Business are closed, and some attacked. Scientific research papers going against government rules are being retracted. Free speech is being ‘cancelled’. Quarantines are being required for many travelers. If travel restrictions evolve, then we become no different from Soviet Russia.
Just a warning to others: If you don’t obey completely and without question the daily commands of Governor Nancy Pelosi’s Nephew the state will crush you. The Constitution has been invalidated (by the USSC no less) in states where the governor is the supreme power.
