Grace to you. ^ | 7/25/2020 | John McArthur

Posted on 07/25/2020 4:11:37 PM PDT by EscondidoSurfer

If I leave for Atlanta now, I can catch a red-eye to LAX, rent a car, and join in the service. Then, reverse the process and be home in time for Monday responsibilities.

The Lord Christ provide safety and power to John and his congregation. He has taken the lead to show true faith and subservience to God. May that bastard Newsom and all others fall by the wayside. This is the time to stand for Christ and our inalienable rights before the powers that be take them away. Amen.

If I were near, I’d show to his church in support. I’d even go to his service.

We need to act instead of being passive and polite. They are going to run over us.

If I lived there I’d be a regular at his church. Time to physically engage the battle!

I went to the link but there’s no statement there. Where is the full statement?

Many pastors are similarly bold, just not as famous.

I am grateful that such a prominent one has stepped forward.

Psalm 37:

1 Do not fret because of those who are evil
or be envious of those who do wrong;
2 for like the grass they will soon wither,
like green plants they will soon die away.

While I appreciate most of McArthurs work he’s way behind on this one.

Our church never stopped meeting. I frankly would not attend a church that so easily obeyed Caesar over the Lords clear command.

Many churches were tested and they failed. I hope some repent.
I hope some fall into the trash heap of history as they should.
I hope the Lord uses this to expose many many apostates, heretics, and false professors.

And what church would that be? Please be specific. You are the classic antagonist, all form, no substance.
