John MacArthur Calls Pastors to Take a Stand on Biblical Sexual Morality

Warning that the same thing may soon happen in the United States, DeBartolo stated that many Canadian preachers who remain faithful to God’s Word regarding biblical marriage and sexuality will be doing so illegally after January 16, 2022, when Bill C-4 becomes law.

DeBartolo thanked MacArthur for shining a light on their situation in Canada and said he is “honored that our American brothers will be joining us in this.”

MacArthur said that uniting to preach about biblical sexual morality on January 16, 2022 will put the “Canadian and U.S. governments on notice that they have attacked the Word of God.”

“We are all well-aware of the evil power and destructive influence of the homosexual and transgender ideology,” MacArthur said. “Our government is bent on not only normalizing this perversion, but also legalizing it, and furthermore criminalizing opposition to it.”

Singling out the Democratic party, MacArthur pointed out that at the Democratic National Convention in 2020, it was declared that the party would fight to “ban harmful conversion therapy practices,” and that the Obama administration “appointed more than 250 LGBTQ+ people to serve in the government.” MacArthur said that Biden’s administration has followed through with their promise to add to that number.

Canadian pastors have committed January 8, 2022 as the day they are uniting to “preach on the issue, calling for a biblical understanding of sexual sin, the eternal judgment that falls on the unrepentant and gospel-rejecting sinners, and the grace of God in the gospel which offers forgiveness to those who repent and believe in Christ.”

MacArthur quoted the Apostle Paul’s words from his first letter to the church in Corinth (1 Corinthians 6:9-11), saying, “all sinners need conversion, but the list focuses specifically on ‘the sexually immoral…adulterers…effeminate…[and] homosexuals,’ who will not ‘inherit the kingdom of God.’ Our calling as gospel ministers is to preach the truth, confront sin, and call all men to repentance and obedience to the gospel—the good news that achieves soul conversion and saves sinners from eternal wrath.”

The 82-year-old pastor is asking U.S. pastors to join him on January 16, 2022 in a nationwide effort to preach a biblical view of sexual morality and to sign the statement.

“If we all stand strong in this conviction together, the governmental forces of evil will be put on notice that divine love and sovereign grace compel us to be faithful to proclaim radical transformation at any cost,” MacArthur said. “This world system and its human governments will gladly send people to hell, but our calling is to rescue people with the truth.”
