The Christian Post reports:
Pastor John MacArthur is facing legal action after openly defying California’s restrictions on church gatherings. Now the embattled pastor is receiving special counsel from President Donald Trump’s personal attorney, Jenna Ellis, and religious freedom expert Charles LiMandri.
“I stand firm with Grace Community Church, its Elder Board, and Pastor MacArthur in biblical truth and the protections American churches are provided by our Constitution,” Ellis told The Christian Post.
“I look forward to advocating on their behalf and hopefully encouraging other pastors and churches to also have the courage of Pastor MacArthur to stand firm that church is essential.”
Last week the city of Los Angeles sent a cease-and-desist letter to MacArthur, threatening arrests and fines if he continues to defy the lockdown. Franklin Graham immediately pounced, urging people to attend services there in defiance of Gov. Newsom.

A quote about LGBTQ people from Trump lawyer @JennaEllisEsq
“While their conduct is vile and abominable, certainly we cannot forget that they are human beings, made in the image of God. Unlike gorillas.”
