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.

Are there lawyers who can being lawsuit proceedings on Newsome and California?

Are mosques under the same orders?
Bars?
Restuarants?

People need to form a line around the Church and make these cops (who allow ANTIFA/BLM to riot, but strangely will enforce this upon a Church) get violent.

Pray Christians Pray!
Make the Lord strike the evildoers down!

I have suggested that if such nonsense comes here that we just make a bunch of “We Hate Satan “ signs and at the beginning and end of the service stand up and hold up the signs and yell and call it a protest.

Christians really don’t give a rat’s axe if there is power. So go ahead.

If they can riot, why can’t we rally?
If they can loot, why can’t we shop?
If they can burn, why can’t we earn?
If they can slay, why can’t we pray?
If they can throw Molotov cocktails,
why can’t we throw cocktail parties?...

Why indeed?

Watching Live. If they cut power it didn’t work.

Pews filled to capacity. No visible masks.

Praise God.

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.

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.
