I sent the following letter of support to John MacArthur. I am not sure if he will see it or not, but I pray he and the church do. However, I thought I would post it to express my public support for a sister church seeking to worship God freely.
The church where I pastor has been meeting since May 17. We have not had to face the state resistance that Grace Community Church and others have had to, but we do want to stand with them in their desire to worship our King!
I have been and am at this very moment grateful for the leadership of John MacArthur and the elder board of GCC.
Dear Dr. MacArthur and Grace Community Church
I write to remind you that although I am sure in many ways, it feels like you are alone, rest assured that you are not. Many of us around the country are praying for you and speaking in support of your desire to follow God and reopen for worship despite the state threats.
You are also not alone in fighting for Grace Community Church because what is happening with you has similarly happened across our country of late to other churches, and unless you, along with the rest of us, stand firm on the Scripture, we will all find ourselves in similar positions.
We know history. We know the depravity of man. And we know the ungodly desires of some political leaders.
Thank you for your humility and courage. Please thank the entire elder and church body of GCC. We pray for all of you and are greatly strengthened by you.
