      This makes me sad. It could so easily have been our family. We got our mother out of a nursing home 1 or 2 weeks before the lockdowns. If we hadn't, she would have died in a week. She died earlier this year. At least she was able to be at home.
      The abandoning of sick/dying people and their families was the cruelest part of all of this. There will be an accounting one day before Christ. For those who know Him, they did not die alone. Christ was with them and then received them Home. I am glad your father is now with the Lord. He will NEVER suffer again. Hang on to that.

So much information about everything on the church. I was like Mike about the dilemma on Romans 13 and never heard of the term "Eransism" (I know I'm spelling it wrong and can't find the correct spelling; the thought of God>State>Church) and that blew my mind. I knew that the church wasn't under the state but didn't know the term. Anyway, this was amazing. When is part 2 coming out? lol Thank You Lord for this wonderful gift and showing us how the church is suppose to be.

    YES! I hope they do feel guilty! I am just an ordinary woman, church attender, and I will never stop feeling ashamed of my own cowardice during this time. For the most part, there has been zero repentance for what was done during that time. Everyone is just pretending none of it happened. I feel like I'm going crazy because I know it DID happen. How can we just pretend we are back in 2019? There are many people who never did go back to church at all! Some walked away from God. Some still do "online church", which is not really church at all. I am not talking about those with serious health issues who can't make it outside. That is a sad reality and I know that. I'm talking about able bodied people who always went to church but since 2020 have not, by choice.

      Some of us who have not gone back to a physical church is bc we realized at that time our church didn't just make a mistake, they were wolves in sheep's clothing. They upped the Bethel and Elevation music; they upped the theatrics. They became New Age or NAR. They embraced homosexuality and women pastors. I long for and keep praying for a church here led by true God fearing men.

    Love John MacArthur's sermons. I watch them all the time. Because most churches in this country shut down, the only church I can go to now is online, such as Grace Church. I do like it that he wants pastors to feel guilty for shutting down. I lost faith in the church, in general, because of all the shaming and finger pointing that occurred to all of us who were unvaxed and not wearing masks etc. In other words, it seems that the church reflects society and accepts all the junk going on from the pandemic to LGBTQ vs living by faith. There is no place to go to church where I live since I cannot fit in and trust others in a Christian community. It seems that most gave in to the gov't. I believe the pandemic was fabricated from day one of it being on the news...this is based on previous experiences working for the gov't.

    I think Pastor John is one of our world’s most faithful men of God..I have learned so much under his teaching of the truth of God’s Word. I am an RN in the state of Alabama and I did witness death after death…it was really a horrible time..the likes of which I had never seen in 25 years. People dying alone with no family members except the medical staff with them.. it was truly a time of despair that seemed to have no end in sight. I nearly lost my husband and son in law both to covid. With that being said… my church covered my family with prayers, love, and support beyond words. Pastor John is right… if ever a time the church was needed to stand strong and be faithful to show the world that Christ is our hope and peace thru anything that comes our way.. this was an appointed time in history for that. Satan tried hard to shut the body of Christ down.. but the victory is already won. Even though Covid was a terrible virus that claimed countless lives.. I do believe the powers to be used it to manipulate people every way they could. I am looking forward to seeing this. Ty Justin for all you do. I have learned so much from you as well. God bless you!

      I can't even imagine what medical workers endured during that time. I hope your husband & son are doing well now. I'm glad you were in a faithful church. It still boggles the mind that we shut down at all! (I do understand it at the very beginning when no one knew the severity.) This was a time when we needed each other the MOST! The extent of the suffering will never be known. So many people fell back into addictions, committed suicide, had illness worsen because they were unable to get to doctor appointments. Many lost their businesses and/or their homes. Many have never recovered from those financial blows. It's horrible. And no one seems to care!
      I was one of the more fortunate ones. But I still was alone for two years. I don't know how I even survived. 2022 was a blur. I feel like I'm barely coming out of it even now. It was like a bad dream. I lost my church and all my friends there. I still have not recovered.

    So so grateful to Lord’s faithful and bold saint, my beloved Pastor John MaArthur, who steadfastly stood against the whole world, against evilness, against lies, against all odds to stand firm, stand up and stand out to speak up and to uphold The Truth in The Lord and The Gospel. Hallelujah.
    THANK YOU Pastor John ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
    I was all awed by Pastor John’s decision to keep Grace Community Church open during the lock down periods in 2020. Praise God. Every church in my nation was closed but only Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California was opened! Praise God. That’s how I worshipped Lord with GCC and followed Pastor John’s teachings since then! Soli Deo Gloria.
    Thank You Lord for raising and keeping Pastor John and Grace Community Church. It shall be His Church who is still standing when Lord returns! Hallelujah 🎉🪅🎊Amen.
    Will wait for the DVD to be released so that I can get to watch and will also want my local church to watch it so that she can live up and out and loud for Lord Jesus like what Lord has raised and kept and grown Grace Community Church to be - His True Church! Hallelujah.

    Pastor John, I disagree with you on the shutting down of churches.
    I had been noticing some heretical teachings in my church for many years. I had been there 34 years. My daughter and I discussed exhaustively the platinum, gold, silver, bronze givers; the quoting of imams, the pope and rabbis; the young people on stage whose living was anything but holy off stage, the guest preachers like John Gray, Chad Veach, and that Hillsong guy . . .; the demand for the community to pay to watch the Christmas or Easter play at the church. . .However, we stayed because . . .
    Leaving that church and watching church online eventually took me to TH-cam where I rediscovered this man whom I used to listen to while sitting in the back my dad's car on Saturday mornings in the Caribbean. I started listening to you and knew I was getting the unadulterated truth of Scripture - Scripture explained using Scripture. . .
    Thank GOD for John MacArthur. We left that church and are now at Miami Bible Church in Hialeah where they preach the Gospel

    I support John in the controversial "make other pastors feel guilty" quote. I think pastors who did not reopen their churches after a few weeks/months during 2020 should feel convicted and hopefully do better when similar challenges arise in the future. Because I believe the government will keep trying to find ways to shut down church services. I think this is only going to increase, and we have to remain strong in the Lord. The church IS ESENTIAL.

    I got to say that without a doubt I'm touched and in tears right now I'm so happy and they related that an OG Christian Pastor would actually do the right thing that is in square with the Bible not many men today in today's world even pastors would dare stand up to the ruling government's and all the other BS people that are in charge of things in this world and stand for the the truth. Two strand for what is right and just and that stands square with our King in our Lord. And when I see these things it actually brings me to tears because I'm so glad to see the unfortunately too few and too little that actually do stand up against the world and do the things that the bride of Christ should do in our communities. I actually have been involved in the church for many years that actually does the things that we would expect the body of Christ to do in this world which most churches seem to not be very inclined to participate in the backs that you would expect to see from the bride of Christ. That breaks my heart. But it also breaks my heart when I see the church doing what it should do and these in X to represent the living bride of Christ. And many times I sat in the chairs of the church that I once was a part of and loved and cried because our leadership did the things that were right and just and got to expect the church to do to reach out to the community. Unfortunately I had to move away too far away that made sense for me to be able to continue to go to that church enough to be a part of that church which broke my heart. And I have yet been able to find another church that I feel is quote my church" I was very deeply involved in the prayer team of our church and have worship leader half my life and it was hard for me to leave that behind and then not be able to connect the dots what's covid came by and virtually wrecked the church as we know it and then I personally was sick with long covid and almost died. And that lasted for three and a half years of my life and I'm only finally just now getting back to being almost human again. And so anyway I just love Pastor John and I think that he's one of the world's best and greatest and I respect him with my entire being and every way and I'm so glad that people are willing to be put in prison is he is mentioned in some of the videos that I've watched him in. I deeply respect that and as many of us are of the same heart and mind that we too would be willing to die for our Lord and King if that would be garquest and lastly thank you Justin for your ministry in Your brave soul that stands up to call out the darkness in our church and to separate the wheat from the tares so to speak even though ultimately that's God's job at the end of this world but you do a great job of of calling a spade a spade and that takes courage and strength and determination and commitment and therefore I applauded you and I send prayers to you and God brings you on my heart in mind and or when I come back to listen to more of your great TH-cam channel as well God bless you my friend and I hope to have the opportunity to get to know you better in heaven. May we both keep the faith and surrender are like Star-Lord and King each day
