Homosexuality ia a social construct of western civilization. In my part of the world where people are struggling just to put food on the table no one even understands what homosexuality is. Except of course those who've been "groomed" by the West through the media. In my part of the world people in general just take for granted that marriage is between a man and a woman. So don't say you're born gay. Say you've been groomed to be gay by your society.
I met a guy at a garage sale. I asked why he was selling such nice things. He said ..he was divorcing his wife for a new relationship with a man. I graciously said if you want to love a man ...why not not Jesus! He will meet your deepest needs and love you more than any man ever could!
There is some deception about love and sex. Love is not sex. 1 Corinthians 13. Sex is a spiritual experience that was meant between a husband & wife as we physically see when we look at the human anatomy created by God.
Well said. Actually beware the mega churches because many DO want their "itching ears to be tickled." I've heard it said, for instance, that Christianity on the continent of Africa is "a mile wide and an inch deep." We must guard our own souls that our "faith" in Jesus can also be so shallow. :(
Amen! Just look at the life of the prophet, Jeremiah. Was he successful in the eyes of his peers? Absolutely not. But did he do what God called him to do? Yes, he did. It doesn’t matter the definition of success someone has. God declares the final verdict.
A former pastor of our family said about his small flock of folks that, even though it was discouraging at times about the slow numerical growth, he would rather be accountable for the souls of a FEW rather than for multitudes..
Yes, we got pastors on the Easter promotion leaving off the word blood, resurrection, and calvary I'm like are you serious? Steven Furtick hurried up and deleted that online promotion. Smh.
It is not our duty to convert people to Christianity. We can never save or convert anybody, it is the Holy Spirit who does that. Our only duty is to share, spread the gospel. It's never us who converts people, it is the Holy Spirit who does that always. We just share the gospel, that's it.
Preach the good news of the kingdom that Jesus taught and believed in himself. Don't preach the messenger but preach his message. "Put NOT your trust in Princes nor a SON OF MAN in whom there is NO SALVATION." Psalm 146:3.
Jesus stands for power by any means necessary. Jesus stands for cheating on your first wife, cheating on your second wife, cheating on your third wife with a porn star and then trying to overturn democracy with an attack on the capitol on Jan 6th. I'd rather stand with moral values than stand with christ.
Friend, the Apostasy started officially in 325 ad when the doctrine of the trinity became church law. Making God Almighty into the image of a man. An abomination. "I even I am YHWH besides ME there is NO SAVIOR." Isaiah 43:11. There is NO OTHER but the Father alone. Isaiah 45:5-7. The same one true God from the beginning and all our forefathers worshipped. 1st commandment.

If we weren't lukewarm, we would not be vulnerable to the 'Relevance' thing. We need to back the truck Way up. Teach Creation!! The issues of being given over to immorality in Romans 1 are in the context of Creation. We need to preach infallibility of scripture, submission of the wife (yeah I said that), pornography, divorce and remarriage, correct baptism (which is also related to morality)
@@lindajaeger4953 nearly there, nearly got it right. Our Lord's teaching is: Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind - that's the part about not offending Him that is correct. However he also said "love your neighbour as your self. His meaning isn't - if you love being offended go ahead and offend your neighbour, but rather, because you are not created to be offended or offensive, do not offend your neighbour. Being faithful to God's truth is being faithful to God and is not being offensive to any man. If any man take offence from your faithfulness to God's truth, then you aren't offending him, God's truth is offending him.
Best comment! So true. My Methodist friends think acceptance of clergy with alternative life styles is okay and if they are accepting this it is a cult of anti biblical truths. This comment is a keeper and the gist of their error
Nah, it's more like a club, or convenience mindset clique. Anything that is slightly off-beat today is erroneously called a "cult" - it's become such a 'go-to', overused & abused concept. Our language is disintegrating, and it's becoming hard to tell what people are actually saying anymore. A 'cult' normally requires quite a bit more commitment than churches who adjust their teachings to fit an average lifestyle. Watering something down to make it easier to live by is nothing like what a cult does. Cults are notoriously rigid. A real 'cult' is quite strict, usually secretive, cuts off it's members from family & friends, or anyone not friendly to the cult, and in a very overt way, not just encouraging them to avoid such people. A real cult is closer to Jim Jones' project, where they moved to another country, isolated themselves, and made leaving difficult and dangerous. They are the opposite of lax standards and easy-going rationalism that seeks to justify a lack of discipline. But on the contrary, they demand complete devotion, and everyone is seen as either for or against them, fellow brethren or enemies. There's no tolerance for the wishy-washy or half hearted. Even a church with strict requirements is not a 'cult' as long as it allows it's members freedom to come and go, join or leave at their own discretion. That was the original Church that Christ set up, and what he taught his Apostles. Baptism is a sacred covenant or promise, as a requirement for entrance into the church, with strict discipline & devotion required for the remainder of ones life, though there is no mortal punishment or open shaming for breaking that covenant, but rather is dealt with by encouragement to repent and get back on the straight and narrow path.
Did you know that the name Jesus has only existed since the 17th century? YAH IS “THE NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME” (Philippians 2:9). “Then He said to them, ‘Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem’” (Luke 24:46-47 NKJV). Halleluyah, Praise YAH! “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). The Savior told the people that He is YAH, “The I AM,” as in “HaYAH.” YAH, the I AM, is “the name which is above every name.” In other words, He told them that He was, and is, and is to be their God forever to the glory of His God and Father. He the Messiah said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58). I AM is YAH. Christ told them that He is their God! There is only one name by which we must be saved to receive eternal life, behold the name given by God the Father to the Son of God our Savior has the only name of YAHSHUA! The name Jesus has only existed since the 17th century, and more importantly, the name Jesus was never revealed by God. YAH=I AM, and shua= “my help,” as in “my salvation.” Halleluyah, Praise YAH, Praise YAHSHUA! The essence of the Gospel is this: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. ‘He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God’” (John 3:16-18). You must believe in the name of YAHSHUA in order to be saved! If you reject this name you stand condemned! “...that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord” (Deuteronomy 8:3). God revealed only one name for our salvation! According to the prophet Isaiah: "Behold, God is my salvation, I will trust and not be afraid; ‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song; He also has become my salvation’ ” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV). Every word from the Lord is a revelation from the Lord, and He has revealed the only name of salvation: YAHSHUA! “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “HAYAH ASHAR HAYAH.” [“I AM WHO I AM.” I AM is YAH] And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM {YAH}’ has sent me to you. Moreover God said to Moses, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This {YAH} is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations’” (Exodus 3:13-15). Behold, the name which is above every name: YAH! But doesn’t God have many names? There is only one name. “And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as EL SHADDAI, but by My name Lord {YAH} I was not known to them” (Exodus 6:2-3). God’s essential name, YAH, is found in the names of prophets. 1) Elijah in Hebrew is Eliyah, which means: “YAH is my God.” 2) Isaiah in Hebrew is Yeshayahu, which means: “YAH is my salvation.” 3) Matthew in Hebrew is Matityahu, which means: “Gift of YAH.” 4) Nehemiah in Hebrew is Nechemyah, which means: “YAH comforts.” 5) Jeremiah in Hebrew is Yirmiyah, which means: “YAH will exalt.” 6) Obadiah in Hebrew is Obadyah, which means: “Servant of YAH.” 7) Zechariah in Hebrew is Zkaryah, which means: “YAH remembers.” 8) Zephaniah in Hebrew is Tsephanyah, which means: “YAH has treasured.”

Church is not an entertainment attraction like Disney World or Six Flags. It is also not primarily a venue for evangelism. As in Acts 2, on its inauguration, the church was primarily a gathering of Christians to do 4 things: learn the apostles doctrine (teaching), fellowship, breaking of bread (communion) and prayers. No laser light show, no fog machines, no spectacular floor shows.
As a former with and now conservative Christian, I'd like to point out the dangers of departing from the Bible. When I was saved in 1992, I knew I would have to refrain from lesbian sex. The Lord have me grace and I've been celibate for 32 years. My story isn't exceptional either.
AMEN! Apx. 2 yrs ago we had a woman that was SAVED! She came out of years of being a lesbian. She recently met a godly man at our church & is now married. Her story is one that ONLY Jesus Christ can make! Glory to God!
I love the fact you mention celibacy without going into detail. Continue to trust and obey God. I’ll pray that He fills that void or continues to give you the grace to remain in His Light. Thank you for your comment.
I pray he changes your heart. God made man & woman to be together, to procreate. I'm not condemning, I want to meet you in heaven. If your heart still wants women PRAY he changes your heart🙏🙏🙏 God bless bless you🙏❤️🙏
Thanks for sharing. A friend's mother (I'm friends with both) has been celibate for 15 years now. She was in a long-term lesbian relationship and a practicing pagan when she started casually reading a Bible her daughter had given her years before. She had been very hostile towards anything Christian or church related. As she read the New Testament, she saw Jesus for the first time and fell in love with him, and started praying. Her girlfriend started to get jealous because she began talking talking about Jesus in a positive light. Then she came to Romans. After reading chapters 1 and 2, the Holy Spirit convicted her that she was living contrary to his will. She surprised herself as these words left her mouth, "I have to stop this, I have to change." She called her daughter, they talked, she repented, but didn't want to cut off her relationship. She didn't want to hurt her girlfriend. She didn't have to. Her girlfriend asked, "What is this Bible thing you're doing?" She answered, "I've just given my lift to Christ." "What does that mean? Are you a Jesus Freak now? Well if you are I'm not interested." They broke up the next day, her girlfriends choice.
@@troywest7045 yes and amen! Free pastors up to preach faithfully, unbeholden to the government, without the fear of their tax exempt status being revoked. Prevent government leaders from deciding to threaten pastors for what they preach and feeling justified because of the church's tax status.
YOU CAN KNOW YOU HAVE ETERNAL LIFE ! Realize you are a sinner being sorry. Sin is lying, evil thoughts, lust,etc. Therefore, do not trust in your own works to go to heaven because you realize, being a sinner, you cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that God requires to pay for sin. Instead, believe, meaning fully trust, that in Christ's love for you, on the cross, His one perfect blood sacrifice, when Christ bled, suffered and died, in your place, paid for your sins in full, past, present and future ! Believe that Jesus rose from the dead ! Believe Jesus is God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore ! And believe that the sinless blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses you from all sin, which purifies your soul ! Then the Lord Jesus will forgive you,save you from hell and give you eternal life ! And you will be sealed with the Holy Spirit who will dwell within you forever! And thank Jesus ! Rom.3:25,5:8,9,10:9, Is.53:5,6, II Cor.5:21, Ephes.1:7,13,4:30, Heb.10:14,38,39, I John 1:7, 5:7,13,20
My Mom and Dad used to tell me what I needed to hear " like it or not"...they wanted me to have a good life and make good decisions....Sometimes they disciplined me for my own good...deep down inside I knew I needed it...they did this because they LOVED ME. Jesus gave me my parents...he loves me so much more than they could....I WANT to hear what I need to from Jesus now...I made a big enough mess of my life not listening....I hope and pray that the people that need to hear Dr. Youssefs message do.❤✝

…and all the LIARS [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8(e)
When a nonbeliever starts to play the “word” game, or picking out single verses to back their position, Christians NEED to speak out. We have to stand for the Gospel. We can’t conform or twist the Word of God to fit the culture. It is encouraging to hear you both spell it out clearly. I believe we are under judgement, but God’s people still have time to turn from their evil ways and ask forgiveness. God is faithful to forgive and transform our hearts and minds. An eternity without the presence of God is horrifying! Keep preaching truth!
We are not under judgment, we are still in the Dispensation of Grace. Maybe you believe that because you are twisting Scripture a little bit to fit your doctrine??? Maybe?
Have you read your Bible and looked at what life what like during the days of Noah? I would highly recommend listening to the following sermon..... ruclips.net/video/Cz8AA_Oa0EU/видео.html

Jesus, cannot save a planet who doesn’t want to be saved. Let’s not fool ourselves, the world is only going to get worse and more souls are going to be destroyed.
We must grab ahold of and cling to the Person of Christ Jesus, not the idea but the person. It is Christ Jesus that saves, not the idea but the person.

Our church recently saw our lead pastor step down due to the onset of dementia Alzheimer’s. Tragic and heart breaking. 50 yrs old and preached the gospel and built a very large church from basic gospel principles. The associate pastors are filling in. Their messages are more feel good and watered down theology. The Apostle warned of this. He said to verify everything in the Holy Scriptures. I have read where pastors are stepping down across the country because they speak the truth from God's Holy Bible. All electronic Bibles are subject to watering down, very easily. My 40 year olf Bible is my best frient. I back that up by a King James version that is that is over 120 years old, my Great Grand Father's Bible. I love reading God's word. Please save your Pastors that preach the Gospel. Go to your feel good pastors and challenge them to preach the Gospel. Stop the falling away. Praise the Holy, Holy God and his Holy son Jesus.
My sister got divorced earlier in her Christian life. It was an emotionally abusive marriage. She's sorry she didn't just stay and work thru it. She was shunned by her so called Christian friends. Even to this day. That to me is also wrong.
Yes, but unless her husband could change, she was suffering as much as being physically abused. That’s just not a good situation. Good marital preparation ahead of time might have been more helpful in preventing the marriage to begin with-or might have opened the (future) husband’s eyes to his wrong ways.
Thank you for this video. It has been heartbreaking to see the Christianity in America so comprised. I remember when sin was called sin and the need for repentance and restoration was strongly prezched from pulpits. We all need to be on our knees praying for a reawakening.

When we accept Jesus as our Savior, God forgives all our sins: past, present, and future. Forgiveness comes as a total package; God does not forgive us partially but wholly. The believer in Christ can say, “My future sins are forgiven” for these reasons: • When Jesus died, all of today’s sins were yet future. Jesus did not die only for the sins of people who lived before Him. He died for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2), including the sins of those who lived after Him. • If our future sins are not forgiven, then two things must happen: 1) when we sin in the future, we revert to an unforgiven state, meaning we lose our salvation and must be saved again, and 2) Christ must die again to cover the sins we’ve committed since His last death. Neither of these scenarios is biblical. We are kept by God, and thus our salvation is secure (John 10:28-30); and Christ died “once for all” (Hebrews 10:10; cf. Hebrews 7:25).
@@doug6280 Who told you that JESUS CHRIST PAID IT ALL EVEN FURTURE SINS? your pastors? Look at Romans 3: 25 it is talking about the remission of SINS THAT ARE PAST. You must read the bible by yourself without the interference from the preachers, pastors or priests. WE MUST READ AND BELIEVE ALL BIBLE VERSES no interpretations needed PERIOD.
@@Prr-u9o Yes we are not perfect it written that all have sin and fall short in the Glory of GOD, Romans 3:23-26 (note that in these verses, it was mentioned about past sins only) that's why our lord JESUS CHRIST came down from heaven to preach the Gospel of GOD, gave us commandments to obey, and how to be saved from the wrath of GOD. JESUS CHRIST did not preach that his death would be our ultimate salvation instead he repeatedly commanded us to repent of our sins and obey the commandments of GOD. His death confirms the truth that he preached about love as can be read in John 15:13 that greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. His resurrection only proved to us that what he preached is true that after his death, he will resurrect in three days showing that He is truly the Son of God and this has given us hope. The Apostles (including Paul) wrote in the scripture that JESUS CHRIST died for our sins but during their preaching to the people, they talked mostly about repentance, faith and belief to GOD and our Lord JESUS CHRIST, and obedience to the commandments of God. WE MUST READ AND BELIEVE ALL BIBLE VERSES no interpretations needed PERIOD.
Thanks Eric for having Michael Youssef on your show… a great conversation!! I agree… people are hungry for the truth!

In His great love and mercy God does this in order to protect the faithful and true believers. He also promise to lead them to churches who still have leaders who hold to the Truth and teach the full gospel. Blessed be His Name 🙇♀️
Yea Jesus said he will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail against his eclcesia on earth as it is in heaven, because his kingdom is not of this world. No man can tame his own tongue the smallest member of the body, but set a forest on 🔥 to destroy himself and others around him that s why we need God's Gospel that can never be changed. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness , then obey God son Jesus who forgives us of our sins but then we must maintain a sinless life after God washes our sins away with his own blood. Learn and pray the Lord prayer to us each day because it has everything in it to maintain our salvation.

1 Cor 13:2b and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 1 Cor 13:8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease.; as for knowledge, it will pass away. 1 Cor 13:13 So now faith hope and love abide, these 3. But the greatest of these is llove. Mt 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to me, "'Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my father who is in heaven. On that day MANY will say to me, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy on your name, cast demons out I your name, do many works in your name?" And I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness." James - faith is a work Ephesians and Colossians - no works can get one to heaven Faith is NOT THE KEY TO ETERNAL LIFE. I just quoted a few of scriptures that say the exact opposite! The question is remains: will you work out salvation with fear and trembling to discover what you are missing, or will you continue to follow the MANY spoken of by Jesus. Numbers of people following a thought does not make it truth. I hope you discover it! It will change your faith in AMAZING ways.
All of us will live for eternity. We just have to decide where we'll spend eternity. With Jesus, in unspeakable joy, or apart from Jesus, in eternal torment.
I thank the 2 of you for standing for the Truth. I've attended churches where the minister was divorced or having an affair. I was often told that God forgives and so must we. I had to leave 2 Messianic synagogues and several churches as I searched for a church that would teach more about redemption/atonement in the blood of Yeshua. I recently saw a video of Pope Francis saying that all men are innately GOOD. He and a leader in the Muslim faith have formed a one-world church/religion. Pictures can be found on the internet.

@@cherylallis2458 Yes, we must earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints (Jude 3) but 1 Cor.13; if we don't have love, we are nothing but a lot of noise.

"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." (Ephesians 5:11) Catholicism is also evil. Exaltation of Mary and Sacraments for salvation is directly against scripture. (Luke 11:27,28; 1 Tim. 2:5)
I think it best to understand that the Mosaic Law was for national Israel and the church is not under that Law. That includes the ceremonial aspects of that Law. But there are moral laws of God that are universal and timeless, and we are always under those. God’s moral will is always required of us.

No longer needed to be saved. But absolutely still applies.
These pastors crave "church growth" in numbers only and believe that to be a sign that God is pleased with them, that they are doing what is right to "save" the world. The bigger the church, the more income the church brings in for their building projects. The more indebted they are, the more reluctant they become to offending the congregation with the truth. It becomes a vicious cycle.

Thank you, Gents! This all brings to mind these thoughts: - "I said unto them that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center." - 1 Nephi 16:2 - "Truth taught without love can cause feelings of judgment, discouragement, and loneliness. It often leads to resentment and division-even conflict. On the other hand, love without truth is hollow and lacks the promise of growth. Both truth and love are essential for our spiritual development. Truth provides the doctrine, principles, and laws necessary to gain eternal life, while love engenders the motivation needed to embrace and act upon what is true." - John C. Pingree It seems to me that at the heart of many major issues we face today comes down to The Weaponization of Empathy, a twisted and false empathy. Think in terms of: - Gender & Sexual Dysphoria Communities - Immigration - Israel (by terrorists using "innocent" civilians as human shields for twisted empathy) - Abortion The adversary weaponizes empathy to bring about all kinds of evil & destruction.
I love Michael Youseff! A trusted leader in the church. This is such a good much needed message. As a follower of Jesus Christ I will love the lost and speak truth in love but never ever blur the lines on important Biblical morals that are necessary for us to live in the fullness of Christ & be blessed by God. I want the fullness of all Christ died to give not settle for a little handful and surely not at the price of letting things slip by just to create unity.
I know of two different pastors who have divorced their wives and remarried. From what I know about these men and their wives and families, I don't think either of them had Biblical grounds for divorcing their wives (sexual infidelity). I know and understand that I am no man's eternal judge, but I strongly feel that what both of them did was wrong. One of them is the executive pastor of a very large church that we used to attend. From what I understand, he is still serving in that capacity with his new wife. This is a horrible example for his church. Men who find themselves in this position need to step down from pastoral ministry. They have ruined their testimony and sinned against God.
He mocks the very words of Christ Jesus who said, “Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.” The Pastor is a man and as a man he separated from his wife. He is in rebellion to Christ and has made himself his own god.
We left that church before all that happened. It started out as a good church with the original pastor. When his son-in-law took over as senior pastor, they got all into the church growth, seeker-friendly theology (which is not really theology in the true sense), and in my opinion, went completely off the rails with money and growth.
I went to a marriage counselor who divorced his wife because she didn't want to be a pastors wife. All his advice about marriage was with his new wife. Quit going to that guy for another pastor living in biblical marriage. 10 years later I'm still married. Praise the Lord!
I’ll name names - John Hagee big Baptist pastor in San Antonio left his first wife for his secretary. Not sure why he has been allowed to pastor all those years. It’s swept under the rug.
Paul talks about those who change the gospel in Galatians 1. He says they're damned. That's pretty straight forward. This conversation happening on TBN is kinda blowing my mind.
I like the assertions that “what I DON’T say might drive people away…”-that resonated as I’ve stopped engaging with or attending churches due to them not preaching on eschatology, Israel, and depravity. As well, when the gentleman says regarding driving ppl away: “it’s the Father who draws people in, not me or what I say…”-these are resonating Truths. Great discussion.
Ty Eric and Pastor Yousef. Oh boy the world sure does need The Lord. If anyone is going to a seeker friendly church, don’t you think it’s time to leave? Follow The Lord not man. Revelation 3 Jesus is knocking but these churches won’t let Him in.
Also pastors like Robert Morris, formerly over Gateway, and some other pastors are saying they had a "moral failure". What happened to the word "sin"? When Christ came into my life, I knew I had to confess my sin, not my "moral failure". JESUS SAVED ME FROM MY SIN. Hallelujah!!
I wept about Morris😢😡😢. And now soooo sad that Lucado has stepped in!! Says to me he's trying to rescue and say "there there now" INSTEAD OF THE CHURCH FOLDING
My husband would be hitchhiking home and not able to get a ride late at night after work. He would go into the unlocked episcapal church and sleep the night on the pew. He would use the priest robe for a blanket and roll another for a pillow.....years ago!
I came out of the Episcopalian Church when I was 20 years old because I saw all the corruption and changes that happened in and the Lord brought me out and I'm thankful to God with all my heart and soul
As a Greek Christian Orthodox I have to say that Herresy is a sin. We are called to preserve our religion the way our Fathers handle it to us. Many Martyrs and Christians did the work to fight for the TRUTH, we have a commitment and a responsibility to keep it unchanged for new generations. My Lord JesusChrist have mercy on us, sinners.
There is sad teaching going on in the church such as "replacement theology" & "new apostalic reformation" so please beware of their teachings. The church is putting "social justice" as a gospel related issue before the full counsel of God from Genesis to Revelation. The Reformers started a good movement but there are problems when it comes to Israel and teaching a literal interpretation of The Word of God. Pastor Billy Crone and Pastor Brandon Holthaus left Southern Baptist. Genesis 12:3 🙏🕊️ Maranatha 🌱 P.S. Thank you for calling out "Rob Bell" !! We live in a world of confusion without critical thinking. I have grown to hate the word "winsome" in the church describing what leaders in the church such as pastors are to be in order to win someone to Christ. Yes, fear God over men!! Amen 🙏
The 'reformers' as represented by the modern day 'reformed' and 'calvinist' cults are probably the most dangerous false teachers in masquerading as Christians today. My guess is you do not know much about the "new apostolic reformation either.
Yes you have a real hunger to see God's truth. I also feel so burdened by replacement theology and not preaching the whole counsel of God. I left a church after 15 years to join another one, because they were more concerned about offending people rather than answering to God. I just could not cope with the syrupy messages . I listen to Jack Hibbs, Michael Youseff who fear God over man, and are not afraid of convicting messages. It seems that their churches are stable. Stay strong,
It's not just now infiltrating -- it's BEEN infiltrating for 50+ years in America! Glad you had this man on, Mr. Metaxas. Very important for folks to hear.
You actually have it reversed. This Country was Founded by many Deists who made sure that separation of Church and State was built into our society. Since then Republicans have infiltrated Christianity into the government. For example, many of the uneducated Christians think the pledge Americans recite has always referenced "God" which isn't the case at all. It was added by scared Republicans back in the 1950's as well as on our currency. Both should never have happened and should be considered treasonous by the Founders own words.

Scripture defines scripture. Don't allow worldly values overcome what the Word of God says. We are all sinners and need a savior Jesus Christ who has given His life to cover our sins.

Believe that Jesus rose from the dead ! Believe Jesus is God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore ! And believe that the sinless blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses you from all sin, which purifies your soul ! Then the Lord Jesus will forgive you,save you from hell and give you eternal life !

A problem that evangelical churches face is that there is an inherent conflict between the biblical values of being winsome and being truthful (i.e. with biblical teaching), and it's difficult to do both well at the same time. In many churches that claim faithfulness to biblical teaching, the desire to be winsome ends up subtly (or sometimes not so subtly) eclipsing truth. It may not come to outright denying certain biblical truths, but just minimizing or muting teaching and discussion of those truths, out of a desire to not alienate or otherwise turn people off who, with time and by exposing them to the "goodies" that the church has to offer, will be drawn to faith. By "goodies" I mean things like friendly people, positive, upbeat messages, a talented "worship team" that performs exciting, contemporary worship music, fun activities, community projects, free coffee and doughnuts in the lobby, etc. There's nothing wrong with those "goodies" in and of themselves, but when biblical truths are minimized or muted to play up those "goodies," there is a problem

Please do not generalise about 'evangelical' churches. I was in large charismatic church that turned away from truth and now does 'marriages' for same sex couples. What once used yo be a 500 strong church has now below 30 meeting regularly. Christians, still evangelicals walked away from the church to join those that believed in sound doctrine.
The episcopals have already hit the bottom and splattered. The southern Baptists are now in free fall. They have not hit the bottom yet but they are sliding down that slope.
We need to stand in prayer for these people until Jesus tells us to stop praying for them. He is trying to warn them about the wolf creeping into the Church. Praise Jesus for this man and pray for Michael he is sounding the warning signs

Homosexuality ia a social construct of western civilization. In my part of the world where people are struggling just to put food on the table no one even understands what homosexuality is.

I met a guy at a garage sale. I asked why he was selling such nice things. He said ..he was divorcing his wife for a new relationship with a man. I graciously said if you want to love a man ...why not not Jesus! He will meet your deepest needs and love you more than any man ever could!

There is some deception about love and sex. Love is not sex. 1 Corinthians 13. Sex is a spiritual experience that was meant between a husband & wife as we physically see when we look at the human anatomy created by God.
Bet that didn't go over well. 😂 But good on you for trying!
The size of your church is not an indication of the success of your church. Faithfulness to the Word of God is the only yardstick!
There may be an inverse relationship. The most biblical churches are usually the smallest. I've been in both kinds and witnessed this.
True Churches should produce "Quality " Christians..not "quantity " Christians..
Well said. Actually beware the mega churches because many DO want their "itching ears to be tickled." I've heard it said, for instance, that Christianity on the continent of Africa is "a mile wide and an inch deep." We must guard our own souls that our "faith" in Jesus can also be so shallow. :(
Amen! Just look at the life of the prophet, Jeremiah. Was he successful in the eyes of his peers? Absolutely not. But did he do what God called him to do? Yes, he did. It doesn’t matter the definition of success someone has. God declares the final verdict.
A former pastor of our family said about his small flock of folks that, even though it was discouraging at times about the slow numerical growth, he would rather be accountable for the souls of a FEW rather than for multitudes..
We don’t need to “save” Christianity…we need to preach the biblical Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Amen. I think that's the point of Pastor Youssef's book.
Yes, we got pastors on the Easter promotion leaving off the word blood, resurrection, and calvary I'm like are you serious? Steven Furtick hurried up and deleted that online promotion. Smh.
Right, these men are pointing that out.
Amen 🙏
Matthew 10:33
We must go out and preach the Gospel of truth

It is not our duty to convert people to Christianity. We can never save or convert anybody, it is the Holy Spirit who does that. Our only duty is to share, spread the gospel. It's never us who converts people, it is the Holy Spirit who does that always. We just share the gospel, that's it.
Preach Jesus. Teach the Bible. No compromise.
Preach the good news of the kingdom that Jesus taught and believed in himself. Don't preach the messenger but preach his message.
"Put NOT your trust in Princes nor a SON OF MAN in whom there is NO SALVATION." Psalm 146:3.
Do not compromise God's word
Amen...
Jesus stands for power by any means necessary.

If we weren't lukewarm, we would not be vulnerable to the 'Relevance' thing. We need to back the truck Way up. Teach Creation!! The issues of being given over to immorality in Romans 1 are in the context of Creation. We need to preach infallibility of scripture, submission of the wife (yeah I said that), pornography, divorce and remarriage, correct baptism (which is also related to morality)
@@lindajaeger4953 nearly there, nearly got it right.
Our Lord's teaching is:
Love the Lord your God with all your heart soul and mind - that's the part about not offending Him that is correct.
However he also said "love your neighbour as your self.
His meaning isn't - if you love being offended go ahead and offend your neighbour, but rather, because you are not created to be offended or offensive, do not offend your neighbour.
Being faithful to God's truth is being faithful to God and is not being offensive to any man.
If any man take offence from your faithfulness to God's truth, then you aren't offending him, God's truth is offending him.
Amen to that!
And it’s amazing how God is on our side that He gives a conviction and confidence of His backing! :)
When one’s religion changes to fit into one’s society, one doesn’t have a religion, one has a cult.
Best comment! So true. My Methodist friends think acceptance of clergy with alternative life styles is okay and if they are accepting this it is a cult of anti biblical truths. This comment is a keeper and the gist of their error
Nah, it's more like a club, or convenience mindset clique. Anything that is slightly off-beat today is erroneously called a "cult" - it's become such a 'go-to', overused & abused concept. Our language is disintegrating, and it's becoming hard to tell what people are actually saying anymore.
A 'cult' normally requires quite a bit more commitment than churches who adjust their teachings to fit an average lifestyle. Watering something down to make it easier to live by is nothing like what a cult does. Cults are notoriously rigid. A real 'cult' is quite strict, usually secretive, cuts off it's members from family & friends, or anyone not friendly to the cult, and in a very overt way, not just encouraging them to avoid such people.
A real cult is closer to Jim Jones' project, where they moved to another country, isolated themselves, and made leaving difficult and dangerous. They are the opposite of lax standards and easy-going rationalism that seeks to justify a lack of discipline. But on the contrary, they demand complete devotion, and everyone is seen as either for or against them, fellow brethren or enemies. There's no tolerance for the wishy-washy or half hearted.
Even a church with strict requirements is not a 'cult' as long as it allows it's members freedom to come and go, join or leave at their own discretion. That was the original Church that Christ set up, and what he taught his Apostles. Baptism is a sacred covenant or promise, as a requirement for entrance into the church, with strict discipline & devotion required for the remainder of ones life, though there is no mortal punishment or open shaming for breaking that covenant, but rather is dealt with by encouragement to repent and get back on the straight and narrow path.
@scout06171-its not about religion after all-its about relationship with our ABBA!
Or its about idolatry. When you change your religion to suit your personal choices, then you are worshipping yourself.
All religions are man made cults and traditions. The true faith is followed by very few, the little flock.
Jesus said I am the way the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father but by me.

John 14:6
Amen & Amen....
Did you know that the name Jesus has only existed since the 17th century? YAH IS “THE NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME” (Philippians 2:9).
“Then He said to them, ‘Thus it is written, and thus it was necessary for the Christ to suffer and to rise from the dead the third day, and that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in His name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem’” (Luke 24:46-47 NKJV). Halleluyah, Praise YAH! “Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). The Savior told the people that He is YAH, “The I AM,” as in “HaYAH.” YAH, the I AM, is “the name which is above every name.” In other words, He told them that He was, and is, and is to be their God forever to the glory of His God and Father. He the Messiah said, “Most assuredly, I say to you, before Abraham was, I AM” (John 8:58). I AM is YAH. Christ told them that He is their God! There is only one name by which we must be saved to receive eternal life, behold the name given by God the Father to the Son of God our Savior has the only name of YAHSHUA! The name Jesus has only existed since the 17th century, and more importantly, the name Jesus was never revealed by God. YAH=I AM, and shua= “my help,” as in “my salvation.” Halleluyah, Praise YAH, Praise YAHSHUA! The essence of the Gospel is this: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. ‘He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God’” (John 3:16-18). You must believe in the name of YAHSHUA in order to be saved! If you reject this name you stand condemned! “...that He might make you know that man shall not live by bread alone; but man lives by every word that proceeds from the mouth of the Lord” (Deuteronomy 8:3). God revealed only one name for our salvation! According to the prophet Isaiah:
"Behold, God is my salvation,
I will trust and not be afraid;
‘For Yah, the Lord, is my strength and song;
He also has become my salvation’ ” (Isaiah 12:2 NKJV).
Every word from the Lord is a revelation from the Lord, and He has revealed the only name of salvation: YAHSHUA! “Then Moses said to God, “Indeed, when I come to the children of Israel and say to them, ‘The God of your fathers has sent me to you,’ and they say to me, ‘What is His name?’ what shall I say to them?” And God said to Moses, “HAYAH ASHAR HAYAH.” [“I AM WHO I AM.” I AM is YAH] And He said, “Thus you shall say to the children of Israel, ‘I AM {YAH}’ has sent me to you. Moreover God said to Moses, ‘Thus you shall say to the children of Israel: ‘The Lord God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you. This {YAH} is My name forever, and this is My memorial to all generations’” (Exodus 3:13-15). Behold, the name which is above every name: YAH! But doesn’t God have many names? There is only one name. “And God spoke to Moses and said to him: “I am the Lord. I appeared to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, as EL SHADDAI, but by My name Lord {YAH} I was not known to them” (Exodus 6:2-3).
God’s essential name, YAH, is found in the names of prophets.
1) Elijah in Hebrew is Eliyah, which means: “YAH is my God.”
2) Isaiah in Hebrew is Yeshayahu, which means: “YAH is my salvation.”
3) Matthew in Hebrew is Matityahu, which means: “Gift of YAH.”
4) Nehemiah in Hebrew is Nechemyah, which means: “YAH comforts.”
5) Jeremiah in Hebrew is Yirmiyah, which means: “YAH will exalt.”
6) Obadiah in Hebrew is Obadyah, which means: “Servant of YAH.”
7) Zechariah in Hebrew is Zkaryah, which means: “YAH remembers.”
8) Zephaniah in Hebrew is Tsephanyah, which means: “YAH has treasured.”

Church is not an entertainment attraction like Disney World or Six Flags. It is also not primarily a venue for evangelism. As in Acts 2, on its inauguration, the church was primarily a gathering of Christians to do 4 things: learn the apostles doctrine (teaching), fellowship, breaking of bread (communion) and prayers. No laser light show, no fog machines, no spectacular floor shows.
Those awful things feed our desires to be entertained and the enemy knows that and our churches are at fault here. That is not worship of God.

Great but you forgot one point. To worship the Lord.

Last time at my church (which progressively got bigger), I didn't know whether to say amen or fire up a joint. Thought I was having a flashback.
As a former with and now conservative Christian, I'd like to point out the dangers of departing from the Bible. When I was saved in 1992, I knew I would have to refrain from lesbian sex. The Lord have me grace and I've been celibate for 32 years. My story isn't exceptional either.
AMEN! Apx. 2 yrs ago we had a woman that was SAVED! She came out of years of being a lesbian. She recently met a godly man at our church & is now married. Her story is one that ONLY Jesus Christ can make! Glory to God!
I love the fact you mention celibacy without going into detail. Continue to trust and obey God. I’ll pray that He fills that void or continues to give you the grace to remain in His Light. Thank you for your comment.
I pray he changes your heart. God made man & woman to be together, to procreate. I'm not condemning, I want to meet you in heaven. If your heart still wants women PRAY he changes your heart🙏🙏🙏 God bless bless you🙏❤️🙏
There's such a thing as being A-sexual
Not being sexually attracted to Neither men Or Women
Thanks for sharing. A friend's mother (I'm friends with both) has been celibate for 15 years now. She was in a long-term lesbian relationship and a practicing pagan when she started casually reading a Bible her daughter had given her years before. She had been very hostile towards anything Christian or church related. As she read the New Testament, she saw Jesus for the first time and fell in love with him, and started praying. Her girlfriend started to get jealous because she began talking talking about Jesus in a positive light.
Then she came to Romans. After reading chapters 1 and 2, the Holy Spirit convicted her that she was living contrary to his will.
She surprised herself as these words left her mouth, "I have to stop this, I have to change." She called her daughter, they talked, she repented, but didn't want to cut off her relationship. She didn't want to hurt her girlfriend. She didn't have to. Her girlfriend asked, "What is this Bible thing you're doing?" She answered, "I've just given my lift to Christ."
"What does that mean? Are you a Jesus Freak now? Well if you are I'm not interested."
They broke up the next day, her girlfriends choice.

A note about the LGBT mob. They no longer ask for rights but now expect you to endorse their lifestyle and get angry if you don't say it's right and good.
…and all the LIARS [who knowingly deceive and twist truth], their part will be in the lake that blazes with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.” Revelation 21:8(e)

Their leader is Satan, so do not be deceived. No, hatred towards them, or anyone is nothing more than a clanging cymbal. 1 Corinthians 13.
When a nonbeliever starts to play the “word” game, or picking out single verses to back their position, Christians NEED to speak out. We have to stand for the Gospel. We can’t conform or twist the Word of God to fit the culture. It is encouraging to hear you both spell it out clearly. I believe we are under judgement, but God’s people still have time to turn from their evil ways and ask forgiveness. God is faithful to forgive and transform our hearts and minds. An eternity without the presence of God is horrifying! Keep preaching truth!
@ mariar2081 , YES , 1 John 1 VS.5 ------- 10.
Noah's Ark is nonsense and only a fool would try claim it's based in reality.
Reprobate minds - Romans 1:18-28
We are not under judgment, we are still in the Dispensation of Grace. Maybe you believe that because you are twisting Scripture a little bit to fit your doctrine??? Maybe?
Have you read your Bible and looked at what life what like during the days of Noah? I would highly recommend listening to the following sermon..... ruclips.net/video/Cz8AA_Oa0EU/видео.html
Jesus Christ is the only one who can save this planet. I’ve noticed over my 72 years that as Jesus is rejected more and more each day as The people in this country and our planet moves further and further away from Jesus we draw closer to the point of no return. So turn to Jesus save yourself .
Jesus, cannot save a planet who doesn’t want to be saved. Let’s not fool ourselves, the world is only going to get worse and more souls are going to be destroyed.
@@SachelleCambria yes this is true but he can save those who want to be saved
We must grab ahold of and cling to the Person of Christ Jesus, not the idea but the person. It is Christ Jesus that saves, not the idea but the person.

@@freddiegarland4485 According to Calvin and Reform Church tenents,
God saves only those who he has predestined from before the creation of the world. . A careful reading of the epistle of Paul to the Romans will make this plain.

There are many faithful in NYC, just a smaller %. Brooklyn Tabernacle Church comes to mind.
"The preaching of the Cross is foolishness to those who perish and not believe". In the last days they will not endure sound doctrine, but will have "pastors" and "worship leaders" who preach a feel goodism that appeals to the unsaved, but not preaching the Gospel and the command to follow Jesus and take up our crosses in so doing!
“You do not change the Gospel to please the sinners”
Exactly!!! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Elect sinners love to hear they are sinners and to hear they are erased when one trusts in Jesus Christ .

Two things are true at the same time: 1. We are in the end times great apostasy. 2. The harvest is plentiful but the workers are few.

The scriptures reveal the signs of the times, and there are many… Have a read for yourself, and you will find all of the answers you need…
The book of Revelation has much to say about the times we’re living in right now. Consider that it was written about 2000 yrs ago…
@christinemclatchie I'm not arguing that the times can point to that, but so did the times leading up to and thru WWII as well as other times thru history. The history books point to what Revelations says as well, have a read some time. See I can use passive-aggressive language meant also to make it sound like you're unread and uneducated.
Our church recently saw our lead pastor step down due to the onset of dementia Alzheimer’s. Tragic and heart breaking. 50 yrs old and preached the gospel and built a very large church from basic gospel principles. The associate pastors are filling in. Their messages are more feel good and watered down theology. The Apostle warned of this. He said to verify everything in the Holy Scriptures. I have read where pastors are stepping down across the country because they speak the truth from God's Holy Bible. All electronic Bibles are subject to watering down, very easily. My 40 year olf Bible is my best frient. I back that up by a King James version that is that is over 120 years old, my Great Grand Father's Bible. I love reading God's word. Please save your Pastors that preach the Gospel. Go to your feel good pastors and challenge them to preach the Gospel. Stop the falling away. Praise the Holy, Holy God and his Holy son Jesus.
❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤😂❤❤😢🎉 ❤
I pray for your wonderful pastor to be miraculously healed of this awful thing. It is not from God.
My sister got divorced earlier in her Christian life. It was an emotionally abusive marriage. She's sorry she didn't just stay and work thru it. She was shunned by her so called Christian friends. Even to this day. That to me is also wrong.
Those ppl should read TheBible Jesus says take the beam out of your eye before removing the speck in your brothers eye. Matthew 7
Move on then….
❤❤ i,m so sorry about this😢
Yes, but unless her husband could change, she was suffering as much as being physically abused. That’s just not a good situation. Good marital preparation ahead of time might have been more helpful in preventing the marriage to begin with-or might have opened the (future) husband’s eyes to his wrong ways.
This happens alot. People shun you for a failed marriage.
Thank you for this video. It has been heartbreaking to see the Christianity in America so comprised. I remember when sin was called sin and the need for repentance and restoration was strongly prezched from pulpits. We all need to be on our knees praying for a reawakening.
@ YES ,the same in the UK. Only a few CHRIST centered Preachers / Teachers over here.
@ christinefrances5598 , YES , the same over here across the Pond .Only a few that Preach & teach the TRUE Gospel of The LORD YESHUA / JESUS CHRIST and salvation and eternal life only through in HIM for remission forgiveness of SINS.
In America we have freedom FROM religion, this isn't and has never been a Christian Nation.

@@troywest7045We have freedom from government INTERFERENCE in religion. In places where religion isn’t allowed (like communist countries) the people suffer greatly, so don’t imagine there is a paradise where there is no religion.
We need a revival of repentance
The blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin.
...but not future sin because as Jesus Christ Himself said that "...go and sin no more."
When we accept Jesus as our Savior, God forgives all our sins: past, present, and future. Forgiveness comes as a total package; God does not forgive us partially but wholly.
The believer in Christ can say, “My future sins are forgiven” for these reasons:
• When Jesus died, all of today’s sins were yet future. Jesus did not die only for the sins of people who lived before Him. He died for the sins of the whole world (1 John 2:2), including the sins of those who lived after Him.
• If our future sins are not forgiven, then two things must happen: 1) when we sin in the future, we revert to an unforgiven state, meaning we lose our salvation and must be saved again, and 2) Christ must die again to cover the sins we’ve committed since His last death. Neither of these scenarios is biblical. We are kept by God, and thus our salvation is secure (John 10:28-30); and Christ died “once for all” (Hebrews 10:10; cf. Hebrews 7:25).
@@namefamily4485 Clown , good luck with that mr perfect .
@@doug6280 Who told you that JESUS CHRIST PAID IT ALL EVEN FURTURE SINS? your pastors? Look at Romans 3: 25 it is talking about the remission of SINS THAT ARE PAST. You must read the bible by yourself without the interference from the preachers, pastors or priests. WE MUST READ AND BELIEVE ALL BIBLE VERSES no interpretations needed PERIOD.
@@Prr-u9o Yes we are not perfect it written that all have sin and fall short in the Glory of GOD, Romans 3:23-26 (note that in these verses, it was mentioned about past sins only) that's why our lord JESUS CHRIST came down from heaven to preach the Gospel of GOD, gave us commandments to obey, and how to be saved from the wrath of GOD. JESUS CHRIST did not preach that his death would be our ultimate salvation instead he repeatedly commanded us to repent of our sins and obey the commandments of GOD.
His death confirms the truth that he preached about love as can be read in John 15:13 that greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. His resurrection only proved to us that what he preached is true that after his death, he will resurrect in three days showing that He is truly the Son of God and this has given us hope.
The Apostles (including Paul) wrote in the scripture that JESUS CHRIST died for our sins but during their preaching to the people, they talked mostly about repentance, faith and belief to GOD and our Lord JESUS CHRIST, and obedience to the commandments of God.
WE MUST READ AND BELIEVE ALL BIBLE VERSES no interpretations needed PERIOD.
Thanks Eric for having Michael Youssef on your show… a great conversation!! I agree… people are hungry for the truth! I attend a church that holds the scriptures in highest esteem and yet sadly, the denomination doesn’t take a stand on cultural issues one way or the other. Not wanting to exclude or offend??? Not sure.
There is a remnant and that includes us thankfully.

I am very blessed that my Church teaches the full Gospel of Christ unapologetically. I didn’t know that was a rarity.
Oh, @Shannonhawkins3296 , it is a rampant. We cannot find a Bible teaching/Spirit led gathering in our entire area over 100 miles!. All have become walking dead or seeker friendly. "Holding to a form of Godliness but denying the power thereof."
I can't find a real teaching church anywhere in the small town I live in.
May I ask what denomination?
@@amandakuykendallSHW same here. Messiah said "Follow Me." we do our best to do that with His help, study to show yourself approved. We learned that the Feasts of the LORD (YHVH) contain the entire plan of Salvation! the Spring Feasts from Passover thru Pentecost are all about the first coming and the redemption. then the Fall Feasts, from the Day of Trumpets thru the Feast of Tabernacles-the second coming, are all about the resurrection and the restoration of all things! Thy kingdom come!
Yes, the churches in VT do not teach the truth and string up a pride flag on a lot of the churches here in VT. There is no place for bible believing Christians in VT..😢
It is rare; pray without ceasing for it.
God said in Revelation that He will remove the lampstand. Once a preacher allows or promotes errors to kreep into the church there is no longer any "light of the gospel". In His great love and mercy God does this in order to protect the faithful and true believers. He also promise to lead them to churches who still have leaders who hold to the Truth and teach the full gospel. Blessed be His Name 🙇♀️
That’s right you don’t compromise with the devil
Yea Jesus said he will build his church and the gates of hell will not prevail against his eclcesia on earth as it is in heaven, because his kingdom is not of this world. No man can tame his own tongue the smallest member of the body, but set a forest on 🔥 to destroy himself and others around him that s why we need God's Gospel that can never be changed. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness , then obey God son Jesus who forgives us of our sins but then we must maintain a sinless life after God washes our sins away with his own blood. Learn and pray the Lord prayer to us each day because it has everything in it to maintain our salvation.
The modern church is like fashion it changes according to season.
It also repeats the same old ,like a broken record.
We need hard TRUTH need moral meat on the bone.
OUR SAVIOUR JESUS CHRIST IS KING
Thank you Pastor Michael. Great message. We need more true Preachers like you!
Michael Youssef saved my marriage when a read his book, Spirituality that Heals. That was 16 years ago, and I have been listening to him ever since.
He's talking about Andy Stanley...Pastor in GA. He has veered away from biblical truth. Very sad.😢 Considering he learned under Dr Charles Stanley.
Jesus didn't unhitch, neither did paul or Matthew....
Yes very obvious the AS VERY SAD! Stopped listening to him
Why won't he say it?
From what I understand Andy Stanley church is not inSBC.
It's frightening that Andy has become a false teacher and taking thousands of people down that broad road that leads to destruction.
People need truth Eric now more than ever. This was an amazing interview with Mr. Youseff!
Thank you.
Hey Michael. In the whale museum in Eden, Australia, there is a true story of a man who was swallowed by a whale. The whale was caught some days later and the man was released. He survived though his skin was bleached white!
Many others as well

Faith alone in Jesus Christ alone for the free gift of everlasting life.
1 Cor 13:2b and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing.
1 Cor 13:8 Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease.; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
1 Cor 13:13 So now faith hope and love abide, these 3. But the greatest of these is llove.
Mt 7:21-23 Not everyone who says to me, "'Lord, Lord" will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my father who is in heaven. On that day MANY will say to me, "Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy on your name, cast demons out I your name, do many works in your name?" And I will declare to them, I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness."
James - faith is a work
Ephesians and Colossians - no works can get one to heaven
Faith is NOT THE KEY TO ETERNAL LIFE. I just quoted a few of scriptures that say the exact opposite!
The question is remains: will you work out salvation with fear and trembling to discover what you are missing, or will you continue to follow the MANY spoken of by Jesus. Numbers of people following a thought does not make it truth.
I hope you discover it! It will change your faith in AMAZING ways.
All of us will live for eternity. We just have to decide where we'll spend eternity. With Jesus, in unspeakable joy, or apart from Jesus, in eternal torment.
which lines right up with James 2:24, and 1 John 5:3,......or NOT
Through true repentance, being Born Again, follow Yeshua to endure to The End🛐

Great conversation. I really enjoyed it. Thank you gentlemen.
"The audience of one." I love that. Thanks to both of you.
I thank the 2 of you for standing for the Truth. I've attended churches where the minister was divorced or having an affair. I was often told that God forgives and so must we. I had to leave 2 Messianic synagogues and several churches as I searched for a church that would teach more about redemption/atonement in the blood of Yeshua. I recently saw a video of Pope Francis saying that all men are innately GOOD. He and a leader in the Muslim faith have formed a one-world church/religion. Pictures can be found on the internet.

@@cherylallis2458 Yes, we must earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered to the saints (Jude 3) but 1 Cor.13; if we don't have love, we are nothing but a lot of noise.

Yes, however Christ led people to the truth. He said, “Go and sin no more.”
"Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them." (Ephesians 5:11)

I think it best to understand that the Mosaic Law was for national Israel and the church is not under that Law. That includes the ceremonial aspects of that Law. But there are moral laws of God that are universal and timeless, and we are always under those. God’s moral will is always required of us.
That includes tithing.
Good thing I'm American and not Israeli.
The law was not abolished. And Jesus speaks of tithing.
@@lisawesome7588 The law not abolished but fulfilled. The Mosaic Law was for national Israel, not the gentile-Jew assembly.
@@5slabs For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.
Whosoever therefore shall break one of these least commandments, and shall teach men so, he shall be called the least in the kingdom of heaven: but whosoever shall do and teach them, the same shall be called great in the kingdom of heaven.
No longer needed to be saved. But absolutely still applies.
These pastors crave "church growth" in numbers only and believe that to be a sign that God is pleased with them, that they are doing what is right to "save" the world. The bigger the church, the more income the church brings in for their building projects. The more indebted they are, the more reluctant they become to offending the congregation with the truth. It becomes a vicious cycle.
100% RIGHT ON!!
And isn’t that a human work that God cares nothing about?

Churches should model Jesus, not a business model
I totally agree!
They are no longer churches! They have become a business!

God bless you men of God!! Sending blessings from Buffalo N.Y. 🙏🙏🙏❤️
Thank you, Gents! This all brings to mind these thoughts:
- "I said unto them that I knew that I had spoken hard things against the wicked, according to the truth; and the righteous have I justified, and testified that they should be lifted up at the last day; wherefore, the guilty taketh the truth to be hard, for it cutteth them to the very center." - 1 Nephi 16:2
- "Truth taught without love can cause feelings of judgment, discouragement, and loneliness. It often leads to resentment and division-even conflict. On the other hand, love without truth is hollow and lacks the promise of growth. Both truth and love are essential for our spiritual development. Truth provides the doctrine, principles, and laws necessary to gain eternal life, while love engenders the motivation needed to embrace and act upon what is true."
- John C. Pingree
It seems to me that at the heart of many major issues we face today comes down to The Weaponization of Empathy, a twisted and false empathy. Think in terms of:
- Gender & Sexual Dysphoria Communities
- Immigration
- Israel (by terrorists using "innocent" civilians as human shields for twisted empathy)
- Abortion
The adversary weaponizes empathy to bring about all kinds of evil & destruction.

I love Michael Youseff! A trusted leader in the church. This is such a good much needed message. As a follower of Jesus Christ I will love the lost and speak truth in love but never ever blur the lines on important Biblical morals that are necessary for us to live in the fullness of Christ & be blessed by God. I want the fullness of all Christ died to give not settle for a little handful and surely not at the price of letting things slip by just to create unity.
I know of two different pastors who have divorced their wives and remarried. From what I know about these men and their wives and families, I don't think either of them had Biblical grounds for divorcing their wives (sexual infidelity). I know and understand that I am no man's eternal judge, but I strongly feel that what both of them did was wrong. One of them is the executive pastor of a very large church that we used to attend. From what I understand, he is still serving in that capacity with his new wife. This is a horrible example for his church. Men who find themselves in this position need to step down from pastoral ministry. They have ruined their testimony and sinned against God.
He mocks the very words of Christ Jesus who said, “Therefore, what God has joined together, let no man separate.”
The Pastor is a man and as a man he separated from his wife. He is in rebellion to Christ and has made himself his own god.
We can judge those who are inside the church and this person should have stepped down. I would never be part of such church.
We left that church before all that happened. It started out as a good church with the original pastor. When his son-in-law took over as senior pastor, they got all into the church growth, seeker-friendly theology (which is not really theology in the true sense), and in my opinion, went completely off the rails with money and growth.
I went to a marriage counselor who divorced his wife because she didn't want to be a pastors wife. All his advice about marriage was with his new wife. Quit going to that guy for another pastor living in biblical marriage. 10 years later I'm still married. Praise the Lord!
I’ll name names - John Hagee big Baptist pastor in San Antonio left his first wife for his secretary. Not sure why he has been allowed to pastor all those years. It’s swept under the rug.
Paul talks about those who change the gospel in Galatians 1. He says they're damned. That's pretty straight forward. This conversation happening on TBN is kinda blowing my mind.
The Crouches brought in all types of heresy in the end. I remember when Jack Van Impe left because of that.
Love dr Michael Youssef ❤
I like the assertions that “what I DON’T say might drive people away…”-that resonated as I’ve stopped engaging with or attending churches due to them not preaching on eschatology, Israel, and depravity.
As well, when the gentleman says regarding driving ppl away: “it’s the Father who draws people in, not me or what I say…”-these are resonating Truths.
Great discussion.
Ty Eric and Pastor Yousef. Oh boy the world sure does need The Lord. If anyone is going to a seeker friendly church, don’t you think it’s time to leave? Follow The Lord not man. Revelation 3 Jesus is knocking but these churches won’t let Him in.
Bold message....this world needs more.🙏☝️
I love Eric’s interviews💓 I’ve only heard of Michael on the radio. Nice to put a face to the name🥰
You can stream his sermons! The messages of God’s word expressed in his sermons are blessed nourishment to my heart and soul
If a church or individual no longer have the truth then they no longer have Jesus, because He is the Truth!!!
Also pastors like Robert Morris, formerly over Gateway, and some other pastors are saying they had a "moral failure". What happened to the word "sin"? When Christ came into my life, I knew I had to confess my sin, not my "moral failure". JESUS SAVED ME FROM MY SIN. Hallelujah!!
I wept about Morris😢😡😢. And now soooo sad that Lucado has stepped in!! Says to me he's trying to rescue and say "there there now" INSTEAD OF THE CHURCH FOLDING
So good, thank God for people like this. They will save Christianity.
How much I appreciate this interview Will forward it to others
My husband would be hitchhiking home and not able to get a ride late at night after work. He would go into the unlocked episcapal church and sleep the night on the pew. He would use the priest robe for a blanket and roll another for a pillow.....years ago!

May God bless you, brothers. Your bold discussion is a divine way to end my Saturday.
Thank you for the truth. There is so much madness out there. May God bless you🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I came out of the Episcopalian Church when I was 20 years old because I saw all the corruption and changes that happened in and the Lord brought me out and I'm thankful to God with all my heart and soul
That’s just awesome! You are so loved! ❤
As a Greek Christian Orthodox I have to say that Herresy is a sin. We are called to preserve our religion the way our Fathers handle it to us. Many Martyrs and Christians did the work to fight for the TRUTH, we have a commitment and a responsibility to keep it unchanged for new generations. My Lord JesusChrist have mercy on us, sinners.
No,you are not called to preserve any religion,but spread the Gospel .the Truth about our Saviour,Jesus Christ!The Way,The Truth,The Life.
@olinkalupu-vieru4140 you are not Greek orthodox.
The LORD gives us compassion, not sentimentality. We need to stop appealing to their feelings.

Thank you Eric and Pastor Youssef! Blessings to you both!
There is sad teaching going on in the church such as "replacement theology" & "new apostalic reformation" so please beware of their teachings. The church is putting "social justice" as a gospel related issue before the full counsel of God from Genesis to Revelation. The Reformers started a good movement but there are problems when it comes to Israel and teaching a literal interpretation of The Word of God. Pastor Billy Crone and Pastor Brandon Holthaus left Southern Baptist. Genesis 12:3 🙏🕊️ Maranatha 🌱 P.S. Thank you for calling out "Rob Bell" !! We live in a world of confusion without critical thinking. I have grown to hate the word "winsome" in the church describing what leaders in the church such as pastors are to be in order to win someone to Christ. Yes, fear God over men!! Amen 🙏
The 'reformers' as represented by the modern day 'reformed' and 'calvinist' cults are probably the most dangerous false teachers in masquerading as Christians today. My guess is you do not know much about the "new apostolic reformation either.
Yes you have a real hunger to see God's truth. I also feel so burdened by replacement theology and not preaching the whole counsel of God. I left a church after 15 years to join another one, because they were more concerned about offending people rather than answering to God. I just could not cope with the syrupy messages . I listen to Jack Hibbs, Michael Youseff who fear God over man, and are not afraid of convicting messages. It seems that their churches are stable. Stay strong,
Amen. I have learned a lot from Billy Crone.
Agree with all the above!
It has been my observation, that those leveling the charge of "replacement theology" are the ones most guilty to practicing replacement theology
It's not just now infiltrating -- it's BEEN infiltrating for 50+ years in America! Glad you had this man on, Mr. Metaxas. Very important for folks to hear.
You actually have it reversed. This Country was Founded by many Deists who made sure that separation of Church and State was built into our society. Since then Republicans have infiltrated Christianity into the government. For example, many of the uneducated Christians think the pledge Americans recite has always referenced "God" which isn't the case at all. It was added by scared Republicans back in the 1950's as well as on our currency. Both should never have happened and should be considered treasonous by the Founders own words.

Sin is lying, evil thoughts, lust,etc. Therefore, do not trust in your own works to go to heaven because you realize, being a sinner, you cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that God requires to pay for sin. Instead, believe, meaning fully trust, that in Christ's love for you, on the cross, His one perfect blood sacrifice, when Christ bled, suffered and died, in your place, paid for your sins in full, past, present and future ! Believe that Jesus rose from the dead ! Believe Jesus is God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore ! And believe that the sinless blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses you from all sin, which purifies your soul ! Then the Lord Jesus will forgive you,save you from hell and give you eternal life ! And you will be sealed with the Holy Spirit who will dwell within you forever! And thank Jesus ! Rom.3:25,5:8,9,10:9, Is.53:5,6, II Cor.5:21, Ephes.1:7,13,4:30, Heb.10:14,38,39, I John 1:7, 5:7,13,20

The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter.

Michael Yousef. I didn't know he was or is still an Episcopelean. I used to listen to him in Christian Radio ✝️ 📻 years ago. I'm glad to see he is doing well and still writing books worth reading📚
He's not. He just said it. And this show is from 2020.
He is not ! He is a follower of JESUS CHRIST.🎉❤
@shofargirl , do you follow MY? What are his views about the conflict Israel is currenyly waging against their avowed enemies, Hamas n Hezbollah? I checked out his RUclips channel n he is mute about it.

@@linak7155As I have stated in my comment here, there is a heresy called "replacement theology" they believe that the church replaced Israel. 😢
Are you shofargirl from TSC?@@Katarina4567
Mr Youssef I've listen to Many many times. One if the Great Pastors of our day.
He has Pased on now, and I for one will miss him, bit still be able to hear his sermons!
Praise GOD 😇🙏👍
This is so informative! Thank you for talking about these issues in the Church.
There is one true Church. It wasn’t intended to multiply by 45k and watered down truth.
Thank you! Currently in OCIA, myself.
A problem that evangelical churches face is that there is an inherent conflict between the biblical values of being winsome and being truthful (i.e. with biblical teaching), and it's difficult to do both well at the same time. In many churches that claim faithfulness to biblical teaching, the desire to be winsome ends up subtly (or sometimes not so subtly) eclipsing truth. It may not come to outright denying certain biblical truths, but just minimizing or muting teaching and discussion of those truths, out of a desire to not alienate or otherwise turn people off who, with time and by exposing them to the "goodies" that the church has to offer, will be drawn to faith. By "goodies" I mean things like friendly people, positive, upbeat messages, a talented "worship team" that performs exciting, contemporary worship music, fun activities, community projects, free coffee and doughnuts in the lobby, etc. There's nothing wrong with those "goodies" in and of themselves, but when biblical truths are minimized or muted to play up those "goodies," there is a problem
Can you please give an example of the biblical truths that may be minimized or muted?

HE who was without SIN , HE who knew NO SIN became SIN for US , The HOLY LAMB of GOD who takes away the SIN of the world.--------- ISAIAH 53, 64 V.6 ,Romans 3 V.23 ,6 V.23. ----------------- ** Also they Preach a false Gospel message ,for all those that haven't as yet come to faith in HIM . They tell them " to repent of their SINS " ----- * how many SINS are People to repent of ? ---------- * the TRUTH is that they are to have a change of MIND from Unbelief ---- Metanoia ---- thus to TRULY BELIEVE TRUST only on in HIM The LORD YESHUA / JESUS CHRIST for remission / forgiveness of SINS & salvation and eternal life only through in HIM. -------- 1 Corinthians 15 VS.1 ------ 4 ------ * For all those that do respond to HIS calling thus to TRULY BELIEVE TRUST only on in GOD'S ONLY BEGOTTEN SON. --------- * thus to repent & receive HIM into their lives as their LORD & SAVIOUR. -----------** All People need to read Ephesians 2 VS. 8.9. ------ thus for all those that do respond , John 1 V.12. ------ ** I repeat that it's All HIM , NOT US !! ----- * HE has done Everything & Accomplished All for to SAVE US Eternally from Ourselves!! ---------- * hope that I have answered your Inquiry as to what's been & is going on in some or even many churches across the world !!
@@krissyyoung9264, I forgot to Put in , Revelation 1 V.5.
Rob Bell is what's known as an Emergent. The Emergent Movement is also spreading through the churches.
I left the Episcopal church because I knew nothing about Jesus and had heard about Him on Turing Point radio!!
The pastor stated that he didn’t know what the truth was but he knew what love is. That’s a self defeating statement.
Please do not generalise about 'evangelical' churches. I was in large charismatic church that turned away from truth and now does 'marriages' for same sex couples. What once used yo be a 500 strong church has now below 30 meeting regularly. Christians, still evangelicals walked away from the church to join those that believed in sound doctrine.
The episcopals have already hit the bottom and splattered. The southern Baptists are now in free fall. They have not hit the bottom yet but they are sliding down that slope.
You didn’t mention the recent schism and complete apostasy of the United Methodist Church.
And what about the UMC?
They repeat the gospel, the gospel. Do they know the Gospel?
@@bernhardbauer5301 yes, the UMC have hit the bottom and splattered too.
Southern Baptist hit bottom yrs ago. Some people are still holding it up by still supporting false teachers like Mohler
We need to stand in prayer for these people until Jesus tells us to stop praying for them. He is trying to warn them about the wolf creeping into the Church. Praise Jesus for this man and pray for Michael he is sounding the warning signs
We are supposed to be building God's kingdom. God's not there for us to build our own.
Not in America you don't, the Founders clearly stated no kingdom building allowed.

Thomas Jefferson
According to Jesus in Matthew 16:18 "...upon this rock (the confession that He, Jesus, is "the Messiah, the Son of the Living God (verse 16) I will build my church"
Jesus is building His church. (See 1 Cor. 3:9)
We plant gospel seed, we water it, but the increase [the growth of His kingdom] is God's gift.
