A renowned Southern California pastor is calling upon Gov. Gavin Newsom to repent and “respond to the Gospel” for his controversial reelection campaign that invoked Scripture in defense of abortion.
The open letter from Grace Community Church Pastor John MacArthur dated Sept. 29 quotes the Bible numerous times in response to the campaign earlier this month, which MacArthur said “shamelessly” misquoted Mark 12:31 for Newsom’s own political purposes.
“You revealed to the entire nation how thoroughly rebellious against God you are when you sponsored billboards across America promoting the slaughter of children, whom He creates in the womb (Psalm 139:13–16; Isaiah 45:9–12),” wrote MacArthur.
“You further compounded the wickedness of that murderous campaign with a reprehensible act of gross blasphemy, quoting the very words of Jesus from Mark 12:31 as if you could somehow twist His meaning and arrogate His name in favor of butchering unborn infants,” he added.
According to MacArthur, Newsom “used the name and the words of Christ to promote the credo of Molech (Leviticus 20:1–5). It would be hard to imagine a greater sacrilege.”

God will not be mocked.
Newsome is cruisin’ for a bruisin’, biblical style.
MacArthur is one of the great preachers of our time.
Akin to Billy Graham and Fulton Sheen.
Dr. Charles Stanley is another preacher whom I enjoy.
He just turned 90 years old!
Stanley’s replacement is even better than him.
Anthony George. Amazing man!
Herod the king comes to mind.
Amen to that, MM.
I notice Gretchen Whitmer and her out of control Proposal 3 (unlimited abortion and no parental notification of abortion or hormone shots for sex change given at school....) are in close competition with Newsom’s evil. Satan figures let the worst demon win.
“I love Pastor John MacArthur”
He’s a friend of my cousin, and wrote the Forword to a book my cuz wrote.
I tend to agree with that. I think people who reject God, have their hearts hardened to a point, where they are given over to a reprobate mind (Romans 1) and reach a point, where they are no longer capable of responding to the gospel.
God Bless John MacArthur for calling on Gov Newsom to repent!!
Our Pastor, Jack Hibbs, from Calvary Chapel Chino Hills has mentioned the same idea...and warned in various words, that the wrath of God will come down on California.
AMEN!!!
Amen!!
Amen~~
Love Charles Stanley also!!
And our pastor, Jack Hibbs. Standing for the truth of God’s Word!!
bttt
Bless you!
You and a small tiny faithful remnant in CA are in the belly of the beast.
Excellent analogy actually.
