Jesus made it a point that satan will not fight his own. So, it is a good sign when he is against you. I agree the gospel of the Grace of Jesus will drive them away. I had a similar encounter, and I started singing amazing grace, and it fled.

Excellent insight, Lee. We are in spiritual warfare.

A bondservant is a slave. It was not the type of slave that we had in our country but the person was still a slave. There wasn't one type of slave in the Bible. He seems to be limiting the word slave to the type of slave we had in this country. Bondservant is a type of slavery. It is no different than the way we use the word "hell". We have an amputated understanding of hell - fire. Hell in the Bible was the place of departed souls. Hell contained two compartment: one of torment and the other was "paradise" or "Abraham's bosom". Bibilcally the word slave had multiple meanings and one of them is bondservant, which is most definitely not the same as the type of slavery we had in America.

Hello! I really value this kind of content to bring perspective and open conversation on issues that can be hard to think about. I hope that encourages you 😇😊! One thought I had whilst watching the video was that I wonder if the fear of death for the melancholy can cause a melancholy to lose trust of themselves as well...I.E. I suspect melancholy's whom have had "other worldly" experiences may experience dissociation and disconnection from themselves due to a "fear of death" and a struggle to accept their lack of power and the judgement that may and or may not fall upon them? I would be very interested in your Biblical take on this kind of person, because I suspect this may be a very common type of person in the Church, which is perhaps someone who feels compelled to "die to self" due to a "fear of death" / "fear of judgement", and struggles to be "honest" and therefore I guess struggles with false responsibility due to this fear maybe?

Straw Man much? The Catholic Church has never, in its 2,000 years, since being established by Christ Himself ever taught works-based salvation. Ever.

The generation of the fig tree, where both good and bad “shoots” were set out in Israel when became a nation again in 1948. There will be cries of “peace”, but there will be no true peace, not until after Christ returns. These cries of “peace” are indicative of the looming beginning of the tribulation of Satan as antichrist.

Keep preaching bro! U made me listen thru the Holy Spirit!

Great thoughts. Loved how you unpacked that from a Biblical & Health perspective.

Lee, so glad you made this video. As a military veteran with multiple combat tours I do have PTSD. So hearing John Macarthur say it does not exist almost made me angry. However, after listening to what he was saying I have to infer that his intent is on the over medication of mental illnesses. I agree with you on the fact that some individuals do require medication to help offset an imbalance. I think the problem with the medical field and the mental health field as a whole is they only treat the symptoms and not the illness. Truth be told the only way to completely heal mental illness is through the blood of Jesus Christ. I do not see the VA or any other medical industry going that route. I am sure I could go on for hours as this short video has so much more to unpack. Suffice to say that regardless of what we label the mental illness to be or whatever John Macarthur has to say on the subject, if you suffer with anything seek help. Do not go it alone or cover it up. Ask for help from a good Christian counselor.

I was one of those people with chronic depression with manic spells (more than 20 years) . As soon as I believed in Lord Jesus, was born again and my very long depression disappeared plus my smoking habit is gone in a few months after I asked my Lord to free me up from smoking cigarettes. This a miracle to me, I am in peace since 2017. God bless you. Maranatha

What are your thoughts? Also, that forgiveness and physiology video is in my description!

Faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for the free gift of everlasting life.

Great video - interesting‼️

Cool

I wanted to address this topic because many people on X are speculating that this agreement is very similar to Daniel's prophecy. I'm not so sure about that but what do you think about the NYT publishing? Could it be Daniel's prophecy on the horizon???

By far the most effective form of evangelism was the early Christian ekklesia living the apostles doctrine as demonstrated in acts2v42-47 and acts4v32-37. Have a look at acts2v47. And the Lord added to their numbers DAILY those who were being saved. God's people will eventually come out of the church system rev18v4

“We never graduate from being poor in spirit”. Such a great word for any leader in any capacity! Thank you for that word today ❤

What are your take-away's from this conversation?

An ekklesia is not a church and these two words shouldn't be used in the same sentence. An ekklesia is a political entity that gets its business from its ruling authority. All members of an ekklesia are equal and all members are encouraged and expected to participate. All Ekklesia have a quorum. A Christian ekklesia has a quorum of two or more, it has untitled servant leaders and was a house group movement structured geographically. The Christian ekklesia partook of the agape meal and practiced the apostles doctrine as demonstrated in acts2v42-47 and acts4v32-37. The church is a man made institution that officially started in ad381 and is described in rev as mystery Babylon the mother of Harlots. The first Democracy was the ekklesia in Athans and the Roman Ekklesia was absolutely designed to promote Roman culture and laws. The most important thing to understand is that the early Christian ekklesia lived the apostles doctrine which is kingdom culture and the opposite of the world systems culture of greed and fear. Read acts2v47. If we learn to agape one another as an ekklesia then we will fulfil Jesus statement when he said " by this shall all men know you are my disciples if U have agape for one another ". Your message is sound but you will never get a church to behave as an ekklesia because the structure is man made.

This was such a great interview with so much to learn, thank you for featuring Jaye one of the great worship leaders in our generation.

This is inaccurate my good friend. Official Catholic Church teaching does not teach you are saved or can be saved by your works. It only teaches what the Bible says which is faith without works is dead. And ironically, your closing logic is exactly what the church teaches. Works are a by product of obedience. A natural progression perhaps ?

You holy rollers lay a hand on the least of things to twist the truth, go check the facts and stop steering people wrong! And NO that's NOT what science says!!

Thank you!!!

If it has a stage and not an alter it is NOT a church, it’s a auditorium. Period!!!!!

It will be interesting to see how the Assembly of God deals with this Pastor that let this stripper perform. I honestly have lost all trust in the AG organization. I guess I know to much about them.

Sup bro. I found you on X. Great commentary.

Mark back tracked and apologized.

It is an sinful stunt.👿

Totally agree with this video and what Mark did. The entertainment in the curch is getting ridiculous

This was an offense to God and the Church. It DID need to be addressed before the men. To be silent and walk away would have been passive and, in essence; approving of the act. Who said " hey! I know a stripper in Vegas who hangs out in a gay club. Let's hire him to open our men's Christian conference!"? Jezebel was not only tolerated, but invited... christ is coming for a HOLY church!

Romans 1:28 sums this act up. In this day and age I'm not longer surprised.

Agreed, to my favorite RUclipsr of all time!

Pastor Mark Driscoll did the correct thing in this situation. What he did was no different what Jesus did when he turned over the selling tables where God's house - His house was being abused and blasphemed. Mark Driscoll had a responsibility to speak up against sin - no title or position is required to do this - simply someone that stands up for righteousness and against sin. God can use a donkey to communicate judgment - therefore anyone and everyone should stand against sin. The lasciviousness displayed at the conference where God was to be preached, was total wretchedness and pure evil.

I dont trust Driscoll, or any mega pastor these days - but on this he was not wrong. I was HORRIFIED at the opening performance and I feel like these conferences are feeding a very toxic masculinity that has arisen in the Pentecostal church for quite some time. I am a Christian aka a follower of Christ. I am no longer a follower of men's version of church. I cannot stomach it anymore, and instead I will cling to a faith that is free from men's interpretations. I am sad for me and for all Christians who no longer belong.

It’s certainly an angle to take a look at, and I have to admit that for a split second I asked myself if it was possible that Mark was aware of this and how it would give him the “good pastor” effect. While I enjoy some of his sermons and teachings and agree with most, quite a few of his reaction shorts have had me shook and left me with my mouth hanging wide open. Apparently according to Driscoll, anyone who dares to question some narratives with a perceived “conspiracy “ type view is a stoner who was to their misfortune, homeschooled... I believe he Once said some women was a whore in one of these reaction shorts which is most definitely NOT the way a Christian talks. I have rebuked Mark a few times in the comments as the majority had. I could see how a righteous rebuke as we seen today could certainly gain him some positive praise BUT it could NOT be done without throwing another pastor and an entire church under the bus which I don’t believe could have been agreed upon. This sort of thing would not go over well if found out later. I believe what we seen today was genuine.

These people are stupid. I am a Christian and I use the word stupid purposefully. God says in Oalams and Proverbs that some people are fools and He will make some to be fools. It's in the Word. Anyone to do this type of thing in a church is not close to the Lord. Can you imagine booking this guy for your conference for church? It's idolatry to try to be God, play God, etc.

Mark needed to do this to the congregation in order to teach them this was wrong. If he told leadership first they'd just booted him out w a smile.

Exactly! Where are they? Good for Pastor Mark, what’s next female strippers!

Amen!!

We are called out of the world, we are to be separated from it and the things it does…do you think it looks godly?? No Father as we know we are in the time of the apostasy of the church. We are in the Last Days wake up everything that is happening with most churches are doctrines of demons and every foul and wicked unclean spirits are amongst us…we need to be the light of the world not as the world..Lord King the time of the coming of the bride is at hand are we going to be the one You come as a thief or are we going to be on the walls watching and praying that we are worthy…….wake up…Lord Jesus help us in this time of need that the fall of the church is apparent and we need to walk up rightly before You and we need to stand fast for what is right……but let it be known that we all need to work out our own salvation with fear and trembling unto the Lord………Father I ask this in the name of Jesus Christ Lord God Almighty’s holy precious name….Amen thank You Father..

I completely agree that he is calling the church to a higher standards. I don’t know anything about him aside from what I’ve heard. I’ve heard he has many characteristics which are not becoming of a leader. But what people don’t seem to understand is just because someone is wrong in many things does not mean they can not be right about something, and just because you disagree on/with everything - In terms of a person or point of view -does not mean you cannot be on agreement over something. I think that as followers of Christ we should always work towards a heart posture of being quick to listen and slow to anger or defensiveness. I think many people- especially from what I’ve seen online, were just hearing what he was saying and judging it off of how they feel about him instead of actually listening to what he was saying.

I don't care for Mark Driscoll. I would not walk across the street to hear him preach, BUT Mark was RIGHT on this issue. Even though I am not a Driscoll fan I FULLY SUPPORT the stand that he took. Great video by the way.

I used to go to this church before God moved me out of it 4 years ago and I was new to the faith as an adult when I started there a year before that. I feel like at one time this church was led by a man of real genuine faith in Christ, but something has changed and when I saw it, it truly broke my heart. James River used to have a real good impact on this community. Mark Driscoll speaks there at least once a year and has for a very long time. I agree with what Mark said because he is right BUT I agree with those who think it was probably not the way to do it. HOWEVER, look into the things this church has been doing and know that there are a lot of people who needed to take a step back and question what's been going on there and now they are because as I said, something is off. BUT here is my question, after all the shenanigans that have been going on in this church for at least 4 years, this kind of stuff is seriously not new to James River, WHY was Mark there to speak anyway? I'm not sure I trust Mark Driscoll. Not certain he wasn't just trying to go viral because he has done stuff in the past to indicate he could have self-centered motives like that. I don't know and I am NOT the Judge, I can only judge things that I see against what I know to be the truth from the Word of God. My thoughts are that maybe Mark is himself seeing truth and could not shake his disgust in it all, finally. Maybe what he said was something God ordained him to say to make people wake up OR maybe it was self-motivated, I don't know. But what I do know is I am SO sick of the devil using our churches to make Christians look insane, make us turn on each other and distract us from what is really important which is the Gospel of Jesus Christ who humbled Himself and became as the perfect sacrificial lamb to die on the cross so that every man could have the opportunity to accept Him and be saved. When our churches act like circus shows, we make Christians look like clowns, and I am very unhappy with all of this nonsense. Let's pray that all the people involved are either truly in the faith or have real "come back to Jesus" moments from this ordeal.

Just had this conversation. Apparently the opening act was on Friday and Mark spoke in the afternoon the next day. He hung out with leadership in between. I think he was 100% right to call out what had happened. Did he do it knowing he would get fame from the clip and the shock and awe of it? I don't know. I can't judge that. Maybe. I do know he just earned a lot of followers and he is a very questionable guy with some credible accusations he's still engaging in spiritual abuse. At the end of the day, it needed to be done! Glad it was called out. Let's just all walk forward in great discernment.

How do you feel about the churches opening performance?

Ron discovered many other Biblical locations, documented including Noah’s Ark. As far out as it seems the Ark of the Covenant found, I wouldn’t bet against it.
