Pastor John MacArthur provided an unusual angle on the topic of religious freedom recently, arguing that it’s not an issue he’d spend a lot of time-fighting politically because any law the government makes has “no effect on the Kingdom of God” while adding “we don’t need the government to expedite the Gospel.”
MacArthur, who has recently made headlines battling the state of California over COVID-related gathering restrictions, reiterated the comments Wednesday in his “State of the Church” address after making them previously in a sermon on suffering.
He likened fighting for deals with the government to making an alliance with Satan because the government has exchanged the truth of God for a lie.
