"Bring It On!" John MacArthur Risks Prison Time But Will Continue Church

"I'm open for a jail ministry – bring it on." These were the fighting words from California pastor John MacArthur, who is happy to risk prison time by keeping his church open.

MacArthur, the senior pastor of Grace Community Church in Greater Los Angeles, is putting The First Amendment to the test in the modern era by keeping his church doors open.

He believes the church is an essential part of the community and does not fall into the non-essential category, which authorities believe it is. For example, in Nevada, churches have been forced to stay closed while casinos are open.
