I sure understand the feeling...there are days where I plead for Jesus to come and take us out. Please keep the faith and hang on, He is coming at the right time!
I agree with you I've been so ready to leave, when I had a stroke at the bank I feel completely out on the ground, and the gentleman behind me, didn't take my,as I lay there he asked me did I need help,on the concrete no power or strength at all, I said to THE LORD JESUS thank YOU LORD JESUS because I want to leave this world,iam tired an the PEACE OF THE LORD WAS SO SO wonderful all I was saying was THANK YOU for my departure I was at great PEACE, I was excited because I thought I was to be with THE LORD JESUS!!! but I wake up in the hospital with whole in my chest with a tube, I've been asking HIM. to take me home but HE hasn't ! any way HE beings me to HIM it's fine with me! Bless you brother see there!! HALLELUJAH PRAISE THE LORD JESUS Yvette be blessed sister!!!
We have to be the light in the darkness!!! The darker this world gets, the brighter we shine for The Messiah! We cannot allow this world to beat us down and crush us. Yeshua overcame the world, overcame sin, overcame death, he destroyed satan once and for all! The enemy is already defeated, darkness has been vanquished, and the Love of The Most High has decimated the hatred the snake has for all mankind. We are simply going through the motions. This is all prophecy, this MUST happen. But you don't have to let it bring you down. Trust me sister I completely understand. The wretched filth and efluvial grime of sin is terrible to behold. You don't want it to touch and corrupt your grandchildren or your daughter. You want Yeshua to return, you want to go home! You will, Heavenly Father willing you will! But you still have work to do here, seeds to sow, and the harvest must be reaped! Take heart and take up your cross, your Father is with you. The Holy Spirit is with you! Keep fighting. I love you and heaven itself is with you.
Bless you pastor John- you are a wonderful example of a faithful godly man and your sermons have blessed myself and my husband continually- we pray that you will be strengthened to continue to lead and teach Gods people.
" Don't complain!!! Endure suffering!!!" Words Straight Into the Heart. Thank you John for lifting my soul from despair. You are the voice of God in my life. Thank you for shining your light in these dark times we are living in. God Bless.
I praise God Almighty for bringing Pastor John MacArthur back to where he belongs, the pupit giving the hungry and thirsty the living word of God that sustains us in this perverse world. Hallelujah
Yes Susan, I am adopting Pastor John M, and Dr. Voddie Baucham, Pastor Paul Washer, and the Pastor in the chair; I'm not remembering his name right now - great post Sister Susan 📖🤗
I praise God for Dr. MacArthur. We need his knowledge and understanding. I believe he has been given these things by God to help us all understand the situation we are living in.
I Thank God that you chose to be a man of God Pastor John M. I have been praying for you, & I hope all is well with you and your family sir. May Abba Father continue to bless & keep you 🤗
It’s so refreshing to hear a man preach the whole truth. Thank you John MacArthur for your teachings. Biblical truth is hard to find now in the churches so very sad. May God bless and keep you.
Thank you for your teaching your years of studying Gods Word are absolutely golden God given revelations to empower us in these dark days, praying for our Grandchildren to be saved I’m really grateful for your ministry
Thank you Pastor John for preaching truth. Biblical truth. Recently rededicated my life to Jesus Christ after many years of backsliding. I feel myself spiritually starving for a Godly minister who speaks God's truth. Especially in this day and age. I do go to my own church but feel it is cookie cutter Christianity for the masses. The preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ but I just feel their passion is gone. I came from a very dark place back into the light. And find myself grateful for everyday above ground. Only that I may serve Christ before I am called home. I feel darkness everywhere with my spiritual awakening. The Holy Spirit has given me new eyes and I do not fear but weep for my fellow man. They reject everything about God. I have the assurance of salvation and the peace that passes all understanding in my heart again. But many have turned away from me. And life has become even more difficult. But I press on for the Glory of the Holy Trinity ✝️
No one will be spared no one will escape accountability. Be diligent to be found by Him in peace spotless and blameless. Wearing HIS provision HIS covering.
This message is very relevant in present time. We are living in such a crucial time where sin is celebrated at a grand scale like never before. Christians who speak the truth are HATED by a vast majority. Matthew 10:22 says "And you will be HATED by all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved". May the Holy Spirit help us to be more HOLY and honor CHRIST above everything.
Yes, Truth matters. Truth is not relative nor subjective. God is Sovereign God is Holy Jesus is the Way and the Truth. The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth
@@drendaparfitt7417 No! It’s not sad! Don’t you know that these things must come to pass and then comes the end. We are blessed to be chosen to see the way the world is. Let your light shine in the darkness!
Amen he's speaking the gospel truth its sad lots of preachers are not speaking on what is happening to this country or the world they don't want to offend any body they want to protect their country club privileges and so called christians are not out there preaching the gospel they rather crave!things of the world than serve the lord this man is great
I studied at the college and was tested with difficulties. I feel ashamed for not being a better follower of Christ. I let my family down and I let the church down. I pray that God will save us. May God save America and the planet.
The word of the Lord is living and active, quick and powerful sharper than a two edge sword cutting away the--- circumcising the eyes, ears heart from the world of unbelief.
I so very much appreciated hearing this particularly timely word tonight. The main message I heard here is that what is happening in our world today, and particularly here in America, with regard to all of the blatant and unapologetic sin going on (the likes of which I would have never dreamed would have taken place today - transgenderism, homosexual marriages, late term abortions to name a few) is in actuality all part of God's plan. I know this because it was already prophesized in God's Word (2 Timothy, Chapter 4, Verses 3-4) that people will turn away from God's truth and accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires. I am guilty of having disputes and groaning about what is happening now in this country, but after hearing this message, I realize that if I continue to complain about it in dissatisfaction, I am not honoring God and his divine plan. In times such as these, it is easy to differentiate the sheep (those in Christ) from the goats (those following satan). So in summary, our request to the Lord shall remain THY WILL BE DONE - ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. AMEN.
The power of your sermons do not depend on where or how you live, as long as your money is a well earned. Judging people by their fortunes honestly acquired is sinful. Working hard, gives honest rewards, rich people will always be with us as the poor people will be, only in heaven will all be made equal , we will all be saved the same way , by Jesus Christ grace and our Heavenly Father love.
Peace of Jesus Christ be upon you Please pray for me and my family We are in the thick of a spiritual Battle My daughter Miranda asked Jesus for his salvation Satan won't let Go of her mind She thinks her situation is hopeless BECAUSE she was in the accult I told her God willforgive her please pray for her deliverance
And I say all that to add this get to work preach and teach that gospel everywhere you go because when the last person that was meant to be saved it to the lab book of life, we shall all go home so get busy guys
The spirit of belief in unbelief, the thing spoken of in the prophets. Heb. 11: 3 Many believe the truth to do what's right in there own eyes. Explicit unbelief.
5:40 No sodom or Gomorrah are you kidding me as a believer it’s 😢you have to ask that 🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is our future.Amen Revelations 21:2-3 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. Rev 21:22-23 And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Its time to face reality, to give up the fantastical comfort, to mature, to grow up & live life on life’s terms. Anything less is choosing a preferred narrative, even without evidence & certainly ignoring reality. Willful ignorance is not moral & will not change the simple fact: magic is not real.
That is us -- our country boasts about their shameful depraved behavior!!! I just pray fervently for children that are being raised under and in this depraved way of thinking.
Now I understand the position of antinatalist and childfree ppl. To avoid the wrath of God. And perhaps God put it in their hearts to not bring children into this cruel and ungodly world for this. Wisdom in action. They are obeying the all knowing and loving God. Thus, preventing evil for and avoiding his judgement and wrath.
I have more respect for a box of hammers than I do old Dr John. I’m from Appalachia and he came here to do a documentary a while back. He treated our people like we was second class humans! Yes we are Pentecostal (so is a major part of our area which is why he came. To say we are devils). But he went overboard with it. I’d rather be Spirit filled than a Calvinist Pharisee
2 Corinthians 3:6 Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life. 1 John 5:16 If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.
One thing that I do like when I go to doctors offices or something I’ll go up there and tell someone are you the one in the look at me and go with am I the one what I go are you the one and they’re going am I the one what are you the one that need to tell Jesus about so I can go home and sometimes I say nope you gotta keep working and sometimes I say I don’t know geez but thank you for tell me about it him
In Denmark the royals are talked to with the word De, which means you, but it is the royal way of talking to people, whereas we are all vi in Denmark, so De-vi-l will be Denmark, so could we agree to call the "evil" Satan.
I sure wish you would give your sermon again from 6 years ago about what the bible thinks/says about homosexuality, it SO needs to be repeated to this world today, Please.
Perversion has been around since the beginning of time. "See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish." (Gen. 19:8, NKJV)
With a television you don't have to be supernatural. God prefer that because it's more social but we have to use it correctly. Right now we have anarchy blindness. Despite the anarchy blindness I figured it out. That proves we can be God like. Only a person getting crucified would suspect something greater. They crucified me with exact same disease that in pink Floyd the wall. Victor said it's all good. It should be possible to make everything all good.;)
If the christians you are talking about are the "light of the world" and other adjectives but calvinist describes people as totally depraved. How does that work.
Sir, I’m a Christian of 56 years and I will tell you that I don’t believe in any way we are above animals. There is blood running through their veins just like us. They feel pain just like we do. Mass killing is what’s happening for food but the Bible clearly states to eat nuts,grains and trees bearing fruit and this you will use as meat. It is written in the Bible but I don’t need the Bible to tell me something that is common sense. No way would Jesus put a bolt gun to a cows head and pull the trigger. That would be a very sick man to do this. I’m not claiming to understand it all and no one does but it’s clearly written that we are to protect the animals. Animals are mentioned over 600 times in the Bible
Thank you! This is what drew me to Buddhism and Hare Krishna because they teach respect for all living creatures instead of humans being free to kill. The billions upon billions of innocent lives we take yearly, eating their corpses, has created very bad karma (works). No respect for animals shows no respect for life.
@@missmartyjackson Killing animals is so big now that we can’t stop it and we are adjusted to it through culture but even if I did eat meat I would consider it a sin. Think about showing a video of mass animal killing to a person and none of them can look at it because it’s so horrible. People just ignore that part of life so they have what they want and comfort. Think of how we used to have no issues with school shootings or terrorism yet I do see that now people have adjusted and except this is a way of life. Of course no one likes it yet we don’t stop it at all cost. As far as Buddhism I would just say it’s between you and god. I really have no religious beliefs but I do believe in Jesus as the son of god because of what all he did but to say I’m part of religion I am not. I keep it between me and god and that’s it. If we ate veggies from the beginning of the world and then someone killed a cow and ate it we would be horrified and probably put him in prison
Natural selection is the character flaw in evil that is integrity is more important than life otherwise evolution is tragic circumstances with nothing intelligent happening. Almost everyone survive until they reproduce. Nothing is getting selected except for the character flaw in evil. I found a replacement for the character flaw in evil that I liked but God makes me forget things that will cause me trouble.:-D
If the pastor lives in the Spirit and not in the flesh he's no longer gay , like a thief that no longer steals and is no longer tempted to, because he dies to self picks up his cross and lives in the Spirit. John 15:The True Vine 15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing. John 14:Jesus Promises Another Helper 15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you. Acts 5:32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.” John 16:The Work of the Holy Spirit 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. 1 John 2: Let Truth Abide in You 26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. 1 John 3:The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error 24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us. Galatians 6:Be Generous and Do Good 7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. Hebrews 6:The Peril of Not Progressing 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned. 2 Thessalonians 3: But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you. 2 Thessalonians 2:Stand Fast 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle. 2 Thessalonians 2: Great Apostasy 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness. Zechariah 7: Disobedience Resulted in Captivity 11 “But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear. 12 Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts. 13 Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so they called out and I would not listen,” says the Lord of hosts. 1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you. Hebrews 3:Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers 16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief. Romans 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Luke 18:8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
We are ALL sinner's, we as followers of Christ must choose ( free Will ) to choose to follow Christ and His ways and His Laws, the Word of God ( the Bible ) is our Moral Compass We with the Holy Spirit choose to follow Christ and choose light and Truth over sin and darkness
@Drew Hook I watch Fox News from 5p.m.-9p.m. I think he was saying that because he was talking about complaining. Everybody is complaining on Fox News Channel. Lol
how can you grow as you americans describe it, if you can't be authentic, if you're not allowed to complaint then you are lying to yourself, if you feel there is reason to complaint, and it is turning the blind eye to problems that might affect a lot of people.
When it comes to Calvinism, it’s a very polarizing theology. People on both sides of the debate will point fighters at the other, claiming that they are preaching a false Gospel. Even organizations like The Gospel Coalition was founded under the premise that Calvinism is what they are referring to when they use the word “Gospel” in their name... although we all know now they are nothing more than a progressive, socialist Marxist coalition of anything BUT Gospel proclaimers. I digress... The thing that I’ve come to realize, is that no matter your view of Calvinism, properly defined, you aren’t compromising the Gospel. Think about it... the Gospel is simply put: we are sinners who deserve eternal punishment in hell for breaking God’s commands (well, there goes John Piper’s “gospel”), but because God loves us, He sent His only Son, Jesus, to live a sinless, perfect life to then pay the penalty for our sins, raising from the dead three days later, conquering death and proving that He is, in fact, God incarnate. We can then place our faith in Christ and receive eternal life. Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us that salvation is “by grace through faith, not of works.” This is what makes Christianity different from all other religions... we are saved in spite of ourselves, not because of ourselves! We don’t earn our salvation. Our works have absolutely no bearing on our justification/salvation. Only the work of Christ on the cross does. Whether you believe in Calvinism has no bearing on the Gospel you believe in. Here’s why: Calvinism is the belief about how God works through our salvation behind the scenes, for lack of a better phrase. For example, whether you believe in limited or unlimited atonement has no bearing on the Gospel you believe in and doesn’t change how God actually works it all out. Our belief in how God works out our salvation is not the Gospel. It doesn’t invalidate saving faith. It’s important to understand and discuss. But it’s not the Gospel. We can be wrong about what God does, and it literally changes nothing about the Gospel, practically speaking. The vitally important issue is the Gospel itself... what we have to understand to be saved. Calvinism does not have to be believed to be saved. It also does not have to be rejected (coming at it from the other side). A good example of this is gravity. We can have any number of explanations for it. But there’s only one right answer. Our belief in how gravity works has no bearing on whether it actually works or how it works. Same thing with the doctrines of Grace. Whether we believe in election or not has no bearing on whether it’s true or not. It’s simply how God works. It’s out of our control. Where we start to get into dangerous territory is when we redefine terms. We see this happening with the final point in Calvinism: the perseverance of the saints. This is getting redefined as Lordship Salvation by many prominent Calvinist leaders. This is extremely dangerous. The proper understanding of the perseverance of the saints is actually the preservation of the saints by God. “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) In other words, it’s the belief in “once saved always saved.” You can’t lose your salvation. Once you place your faith in Christ, that cannot be undone. God will protect and preserve your salvation for all eternity. It has no bearing on your behavior. It’s all reliant on Christ’s work on the cross. “God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8) What we’ve seen happening is turning the perseverance of the saints into an extreme Lordship Salvation. The way it’s promoted is that if you are truly persevering (or are actually saved) you won’t sin continually. The problem with that is that we are all sinners, both before and after salvation. So the question becomes, “How much sin is too much sin?” It then becomes a subjective standard that has not root in objectivity. The other angle that is often pushed is that “no Christian would ever commit THAT sin!” Here’s the problem: there’s no scriptural support for that. Many true believers have egregious sins. Those sins do not invalidate their justified state. Why? Because they works aren't what saved them in the first place! To say that their sins invalidate their salvation is saying that Christ's work on the cross was not enough... which is pure heresy! So what ends up happening is everyone becomes “fruit inspectors”, taking a look at your life and judging your salvation based on these arbitrary standards. John Piper explains it this way: “We are not justified through sanctification. Let me say it again: we are not justified through sanctification. But we are finally saved through sanctification...” This flies in the face of Ephesians 2:8-9. Romans 3:28 also explicitly makes this claim: “For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.” Once you are justified, you are declared righteous because God attributes to us the righteousness of Christ, thus eternally securing your salvation. We cannot separate justification from salvation as guys like John Piper do. Sanctification is the process in which the Holy Spirit gradually makes us more Christ-like over the course of our life. It’s a response to salvation, not a requirement for salvation. Plus, everyone is sanctified at a different rate. For some it’s more immediate. For others it’s way more gradual. Who are we to judge the timing and speed of God? Additionally, we cannot state who is or is not saved simply by their behavior. So when guys like Justin Peters place these kinds of conditions on baby Christians, it can warp their view of the Gospel. Why in the world would you tell a baby Christian that you better act right or your salvation isn’t real? Come on! This happens way too much in the church! We must remember the simplicity of the Gospel. We are saved by faith, not by works. We are saved because of Christ’s sacrifice, not because of anything we do. We are saved in spite of ourselves, not because of ourselves. We need to have a proper understanding of our theology. The preservation of the saints is the simple fact that once we place our faith in Christ, our salvation is eternally secure. Rest easy in that. You can have assurance of your salvation! Don’t let Pharisees inspect your fruit from afar. Don't let them change that doctrine into something that God never intended... a works based "gospel"! Grow in your faith in Christ and rest in His promise that your salvation is secure, not because of yourself, but because of God. That should be reassuring. The Gospel is simple. Don’t let these evangelical elite complicate things like the Pharisees did in Jesus’ time.
Truly a Gifted and Rare Bible Teacher!
I can’t take this world anymore! I am especially fed up with the Sodom and Gomorrah culture. I only hang on to help my daughter with my two grandkids.

I am so grateful for the faithful ministry and unmitigated truth preached by this man
Thank you Pastor John for preaching truth. Biblical truth. Recently rededicated my life to Jesus Christ after many years of backsliding. I feel myself spiritually starving for a Godly minister who speaks God's truth. Especially in this day and age. I do go to my own church but feel it is cookie cutter Christianity for the masses. The preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ but I just feel their passion is gone. I came from a very dark place back into the light. And find myself grateful for everyday above ground. Only that I may serve Christ before I am called home. I feel darkness everywhere with my spiritual awakening. The Holy Spirit has given me new eyes and I do not fear but weep for my fellow man. They reject everything about God. I have the assurance of salvation and the peace that passes all understanding in my heart again. But many have turned away from me. And life has become even more difficult. But I press on for the Glory of the Holy Trinity ✝️
love John McArthur!!
May God continue to bless you Pastor John. I wish I could have this church in my country .. 😢
Impressive and motivating
Thank you for the truth and how we must live in this crooked world. We are the light. God gives us strength to stay on Your Word!
No one will be spared no one will escape accountability. Be diligent to be found by Him in peace spotless and blameless. Wearing HIS provision HIS covering.
Excellent message Prophet of the only true and living GOD from the Word of GOD ! Amen, 🙏🏽
D L Moody said "Holy living will make the deepest impression, like light houses they blow no horns they just shine. "
This is like the times of Noah, but this time it will be fire. I see the animals going by two, male and female. Thank you God 🙏 forever and ever. Amen
Thanks alot I needed to hear this.
This message is very relevant in present time. We are living in such a crucial time where sin is celebrated at a grand scale like never before. Christians who speak the truth are HATED by a vast majority. Matthew 10:22 says "And you will be HATED by all men for my name's sake: but he that endures to the end shall be saved". May the Holy Spirit help us to be more HOLY and honor CHRIST above everything.
Thank you for your faithful service, John. My Christ bless your health. Amen 🙏🙏🙏
Yes, Truth matters. Truth is not relative nor subjective.
God is Sovereign
God is Holy
Jesus is the Way and the Truth.
The Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth
Thank you for this message. I needed to hear this.
I can hardly bear society now.
Me too, Sarah. For that reason, I stay at home.
Sad isn't it!
@@drendaparfitt7417 No! It’s not sad! Don’t you know that these things must come to pass and then comes the end. We are blessed to be chosen to see the way the world is. Let your light shine in the darkness!
Thank you so much
Good job my dear friend
Exactly.
Many will not enter HIs rest because of unbelief, but will say did we not in your name...
This was so good!
Acts 13: 40, 41. Belief in democracy is pure unbelief. In HIM who eternal, immortal and invisible the only God.
1 Tim. 1: 17
That's why Jesus gave us the parables in Mark 4. There are four types of ground.
Spiritual minded is to be life and peace .
Many reject Christ by their actions, “actions speak louder than words”.
Jesus, in HIS day, was living in a perverse world !!
Amen he's speaking the gospel truth its sad lots of preachers are not speaking on what is happening to this country or the world they don't want to offend any body they want to protect their country club privileges and so called christians are not out there preaching the gospel they rather crave!things of the world than serve the lord this man is great
I studied at the college and was tested with difficulties. I feel ashamed for not being a better follower of Christ. I let my family down and I let the church down. I pray that God will save us. May God save America and the planet.
The word of the Lord is living and active, quick and powerful sharper than a two edge sword cutting away the--- circumcising the eyes, ears heart from the world of unbelief.
I so very much appreciated hearing this particularly timely word tonight. The main message I heard here is that what is happening in our world today, and particularly here in America, with regard to all of the blatant and unapologetic sin going on (the likes of which I would have never dreamed would have taken place today - transgenderism, homosexual marriages, late term abortions to name a few) is in actuality all part of God's plan. I know this because it was already prophesized in God's Word (2 Timothy, Chapter 4, Verses 3-4) that people will turn away from God's truth and accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires. I am guilty of having disputes and groaning about what is happening now in this country, but after hearing this message, I realize that if I continue to complain about it in dissatisfaction, I am not honoring God and his divine plan. In times such as these, it is easy to differentiate the sheep (those in Christ) from the goats (those following satan). So in summary, our request to the Lord shall remain THY WILL BE DONE - ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. AMEN.
The power of your sermons do not depend on where or how you live, as long as your money is a well earned. Judging people by their fortunes honestly acquired is sinful. Working hard, gives honest rewards, rich people will always be with us as the poor people will be, only in heaven will all be made equal , we will all be saved the same way , by Jesus Christ grace and our Heavenly Father love.
Peace of Jesus Christ be upon you
Please pray for me and my family
We are in the thick of a spiritual Battle My daughter Miranda asked Jesus for his salvation
Satan won't let Go of her mind
She thinks her situation is hopeless
BECAUSE she was in the accult I told her God willforgive her please pray for her deliverance
Come, Lord Jesus. Hebrews 10:37 “FOR YET IN A VERY LITTLE WHILE, HE WHO IS COMING WILL COME, AND WILL NOT DELAY.” Please come Lord
Amen
And I say all that to add this get to work preach and teach that gospel everywhere you go because when the last person that was meant to be saved it to the lab book of life, we shall all go home so get busy guys
The spirit of belief in unbelief, the thing spoken of in the prophets. Heb. 11: 3 Many believe the truth to do what's right in there own eyes. Explicit unbelief.
Don, they have replaced the image of God with their mirror. Very sad.
5:40 No sodom or Gomorrah are you kidding me as a believer it’s 😢you have to ask that 🔥🔥🔥🔥 This is our future.Amen
Revelations
21:2-3
And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God.
Rev 21:22-23
And I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb.
And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb.
Sadly, few Godly men around for the single females to marry 😢
Its time to face reality, to give up the fantastical comfort, to mature, to grow up & live life on life’s terms. Anything less is choosing a preferred narrative, even without evidence & certainly ignoring reality. Willful ignorance is not moral & will not change the simple fact: magic is not real.
That is us -- our country boasts about their shameful depraved behavior!!! I just pray fervently for children that are being raised under and in this depraved way of thinking.
Now I understand the position of antinatalist and childfree ppl. To avoid the wrath of God. And perhaps God put it in their hearts to not bring children into this cruel and ungodly world for this. Wisdom in action. They are obeying the all knowing and loving God. Thus, preventing evil for and avoiding his judgement and wrath.
I have more respect for a box of hammers than I do old Dr John. I’m from Appalachia and he came here to do a documentary a while back. He treated our people like we was second class humans! Yes we are Pentecostal (so is a major part of our area which is why he came. To say we are devils). But he went overboard with it. I’d rather be Spirit filled than a Calvinist Pharisee
2 Corinthians 3:6
Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
1 John 5:16
If any man see his brother sin a sin which is not unto death, he shall ask, and he shall give him life for them that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death: I do not say that he shall pray for it.

In Denmark the royals are talked to with the word De, which means you, but it is the royal way of talking to people, whereas we are all vi in Denmark, so De-vi-l will be Denmark, so could we agree to call the "evil" Satan.
Where is this?
I sure wish you would give your sermon again from 6 years ago about what the bible thinks/says about homosexuality, it SO needs to be repeated to this world today, Please.
Perversion has been around since the beginning of time.
"See now, I have two daughters who have not known a man; please, let me bring them out to you, and you may do to them as you wish." (Gen. 19:8, NKJV)
With a television you don't have to be supernatural. God prefer that because it's more social but we have to use it correctly. Right now we have anarchy blindness. Despite the anarchy blindness I figured it out. That proves we can be God like. Only a person getting crucified would suspect something greater. They crucified me with exact same disease that in pink Floyd the wall. Victor said it's all good. It should be possible to make everything all good.;)
In the olivet discourse who is Jesus speaking to? Us or the disciples? It about the destruction of Jerusalem
The disciples
The sun is dire. It makes some people feel dread. They are the fallen ones.(^^)
If the christians you are talking about are the "light of the world" and other adjectives but calvinist describes people as totally depraved. How does that work.
Sir, I’m a Christian of 56 years and I will tell you that I don’t believe in any way we are above animals. There is blood running through their veins just like us. They feel pain just like we do. Mass killing is what’s happening for food but the Bible clearly states to eat nuts,grains and trees bearing fruit and this you will use as meat. It is written in the Bible but I don’t need the Bible to tell me something that is common sense. No way would Jesus put a bolt gun to a cows head and pull the trigger. That would be a very sick man to do this. I’m not claiming to understand it all and no one does but it’s clearly written that we are to protect the animals. Animals are mentioned over 600 times in the Bible
Thank you! This is what drew me to Buddhism and Hare Krishna because they teach respect for all living creatures instead of humans being free to kill. The billions upon billions of innocent lives we take yearly, eating their corpses, has created very bad karma (works). No respect for animals shows no respect for life.
@@missmartyjackson Killing animals is so big now that we can’t stop it and we are adjusted to it through culture but even if I did eat meat I would consider it a sin. Think about showing a video of mass animal killing to a person and none of them can look at it because it’s so horrible. People just ignore that part of life so they have what they want and comfort. Think of how we used to have no issues with school shootings or terrorism yet I do see that now people have adjusted and except this is a way of life. Of course no one likes it yet we don’t stop it at all cost. As far as Buddhism I would just say it’s between you and god. I really have no religious beliefs but I do believe in Jesus as the son of god because of what all he did but to say I’m part of religion I am not. I keep it between me and god and that’s it. If we ate veggies from the beginning of the world and then someone killed a cow and ate it we would be horrified and probably put him in prison
I'll tell you what's perverse - being punished eternally for what you believe (or don't believe).
Natural selection is the character flaw in evil that is integrity is more important than life otherwise evolution is tragic circumstances with nothing intelligent happening. Almost everyone survive until they reproduce. Nothing is getting selected except for the character flaw in evil. I found a replacement for the character flaw in evil that I liked but God makes me forget things that will cause me trouble.:-D
Does that refer to a pastor who is gay- but celibate? Does that mean that we should not associate with him?
I'm not feel the feeling of the holy spirit what kind of of this church the church of the Bible?
If the pastor lives in the Spirit and not in the flesh he's no longer gay , like a thief that no longer steals and is no longer tempted to, because he dies to self picks up his cross and lives in the Spirit.
John 15:The True Vine
15 “I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. 2 Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit. 3 You are already clean because of the word which I have spoken to you. 4 Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 5 “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.
John 14:Jesus Promises Another Helper 15 “If you love Me, keep My commandments. 16 And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever- 17 the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; but you know Him, for He dwells with you and will be in you. 18 I will not leave you orphans; I will come to you.
Acts 5:32 And we are His witnesses to these things, and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.”
John 16:The Work of the Holy Spirit 13 However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come.
1 John 2: Let Truth Abide in You 26 These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you. 27 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.
1 John 3:The Spirit of Truth and the Spirit of Error 24 Now he who keeps His commandments abides in Him, and He in him. And by this we know that He abides in us, by the Spirit whom He has given us.
Galatians 6:Be Generous and Do Good
7 Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap. 8 For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life.
Hebrews 6:The Peril of Not Progressing 4 For it is impossible for those who were once enlightened, and have tasted the heavenly gift, and have become partakers of the Holy Spirit, 5 and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, 6 if they fall away, to renew them again to repentance, since they crucify again for themselves the Son of God, and put Him to an open shame.7 For the earth which drinks in the rain that often comes upon it, and bears herbs useful for those by whom it is cultivated, receives blessing from God; 8 but if it bears thorns and briers, it is rejected and near to being cursed, whose end is to be burned.
2 Thessalonians 3: But the Lord is faithful, who will establish you and guard you from the evil one. 4 And we have confidence in the Lord concerning you, both that you do and will do the things we command you.
2 Thessalonians 2:Stand Fast 13 But we are bound to give thanks to God always for you, brethren beloved by the Lord, because God from the beginning chose you for salvation through
sanctification by the Spirit and belief in the truth, 14 to which He called you by our gospel, for the obtaining of the glory of our Lord Jesus Christ. 15 Therefore, brethren, stand fast and hold the traditions which you were taught, whether by word or our epistle.
2 Thessalonians 2: Great Apostasy 9 The coming of the lawless one is according to the working of Satan, with all power, signs, and lying wonders, 10 and with all unrighteous deception among those who perish, because they did not receive the love of the truth, that they might be saved. 11 And for this reason God will send them strong delusion, that they should believe the lie, 12 that they all may be condemned who did not believe the truth but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
Zechariah 7: Disobedience Resulted in Captivity 11 “But they refused to heed, shrugged their shoulders, and stopped their ears so that they could not hear. 12 Yes, they made their hearts like flint, refusing to hear the law and the words which the Lord of hosts had sent by His Spirit through the former prophets. Thus great wrath came from the Lord of hosts. 13 Therefore it happened, that just as He proclaimed and they would not hear, so they called out and I would not listen,” says the Lord of hosts.
1 Timothy 4:16 Take heed to yourself and to the doctrine. Continue in them, for in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you.
Hebrews 3:Failure of the Wilderness Wanderers 16 For who, having heard, rebelled? Indeed, was it not all who came out of Egypt, led by Moses? 17 Now with whom was He angry forty years? Was it not with those who sinned, whose corpses fell in the wilderness? 18 And to whom did He swear that they would not enter His rest, but to those who did not obey? 19 So we see that they could not enter in because of unbelief.
Romans 10:16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Isaiah says, “Lord, who has believed our report?” 17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Luke 18:8 I tell you that He will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will He really find faith on the earth?”
We are ALL sinner's, we as followers of Christ must choose ( free Will ) to choose to follow Christ and His ways and His Laws, the Word of God ( the Bible ) is our Moral Compass
We with the Holy Spirit choose to follow Christ and choose light and Truth over sin and darkness

There is no truth on MSM. Don't be deceived. Look who owns them.
@Drew Hook I watch Fox News from 5p.m.-9p.m. I think he was saying that because he was talking about complaining. Everybody is complaining on Fox News Channel. Lol

how can you grow as you americans describe it, if you can't be authentic, if you're not allowed to complaint then you are lying to yourself, if you feel there is reason to complaint, and it is turning the blind eye to problems that might affect a lot of people.
When it comes to Calvinism, it’s a very polarizing theology. People on both sides of the debate will point fighters at the other, claiming that they are preaching a false Gospel. Even organizations like The Gospel Coalition was founded under the premise that Calvinism is what they are referring to when they use the word “Gospel” in their name... although we all know now they are nothing more than a progressive, socialist Marxist coalition of anything BUT Gospel proclaimers. I digress...
The thing that I’ve come to realize, is that no matter your view of Calvinism, properly defined, you aren’t compromising the Gospel. Think about it... the Gospel is simply put: we are sinners who deserve eternal punishment in hell for breaking God’s commands (well, there goes John Piper’s “gospel”), but because God loves us, He sent His only Son, Jesus, to live a sinless, perfect life to then pay the penalty for our sins, raising from the dead three days later, conquering death and proving that He is, in fact, God incarnate. We can then place our faith in Christ and receive eternal life.
Ephesians 2:8-9 tells us that salvation is “by grace through faith, not of works.” This is what makes Christianity different from all other religions... we are saved in spite of ourselves, not because of ourselves! We don’t earn our salvation. Our works have absolutely no bearing on our justification/salvation. Only the work of Christ on the cross does.
Whether you believe in Calvinism has no bearing on the Gospel you believe in. Here’s why: Calvinism is the belief about how God works through our salvation behind the scenes, for lack of a better phrase. For example, whether you believe in limited or unlimited atonement has no bearing on the Gospel you believe in and doesn’t change how God actually works it all out. Our belief in how God works out our salvation is not the Gospel. It doesn’t invalidate saving faith. It’s important to understand and discuss. But it’s not the Gospel. We can be wrong about what God does, and it literally changes nothing about the Gospel, practically speaking. The vitally important issue is the Gospel itself... what we have to understand to be saved. Calvinism does not have to be believed to be saved. It also does not have to be rejected (coming at it from the other side).
A good example of this is gravity. We can have any number of explanations for it. But there’s only one right answer. Our belief in how gravity works has no bearing on whether it actually works or how it works. Same thing with the doctrines of Grace. Whether we believe in election or not has no bearing on whether it’s true or not. It’s simply how God works. It’s out of our control.
Where we start to get into dangerous territory is when we redefine terms. We see this happening with the final point in Calvinism: the perseverance of the saints. This is getting redefined as Lordship Salvation by many prominent Calvinist leaders. This is extremely dangerous.
The proper understanding of the perseverance of the saints is actually the preservation of the saints by God. “I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.” (John 10:28) In other words, it’s the belief in “once saved always saved.” You can’t lose your salvation. Once you place your faith in Christ, that cannot be undone. God will protect and preserve your salvation for all eternity. It has no bearing on your behavior. It’s all reliant on Christ’s work on the cross.
“God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
What we’ve seen happening is turning the perseverance of the saints into an extreme Lordship Salvation. The way it’s promoted is that if you are truly persevering (or are actually saved) you won’t sin continually. The problem with that is that we are all sinners, both before and after salvation. So the question becomes, “How much sin is too much sin?” It then becomes a subjective standard that has not root in objectivity. The other angle that is often pushed is that “no Christian would ever commit THAT sin!” Here’s the problem: there’s no scriptural support for that. Many true believers have egregious sins. Those sins do not invalidate their justified state. Why? Because they works aren't what saved them in the first place! To say that their sins invalidate their salvation is saying that Christ's work on the cross was not enough... which is pure heresy!
So what ends up happening is everyone becomes “fruit inspectors”, taking a look at your life and judging your salvation based on these arbitrary standards. John Piper explains it this way:
“We are not justified through sanctification. Let me say it again: we are not justified through sanctification. But we are finally saved through sanctification...”
This flies in the face of Ephesians 2:8-9. Romans 3:28 also explicitly makes this claim:
“For we hold that one is justified by faith apart from works of the law.”
Once you are justified, you are declared righteous because God attributes to us the righteousness of Christ, thus eternally securing your salvation. We cannot separate justification from salvation as guys like John Piper do.
Sanctification is the process in which the Holy Spirit gradually makes us more Christ-like over the course of our life. It’s a response to salvation, not a requirement for salvation. Plus, everyone is sanctified at a different rate. For some it’s more immediate. For others it’s way more gradual. Who are we to judge the timing and speed of God?
Additionally, we cannot state who is or is not saved simply by their behavior. So when guys like Justin Peters place these kinds of conditions on baby Christians, it can warp their view of the Gospel. Why in the world would you tell a baby Christian that you better act right or your salvation isn’t real? Come on! This happens way too much in the church!
We must remember the simplicity of the Gospel. We are saved by faith, not by works. We are saved because of Christ’s sacrifice, not because of anything we do. We are saved in spite of ourselves, not because of ourselves.
We need to have a proper understanding of our theology. The preservation of the saints is the simple fact that once we place our faith in Christ, our salvation is eternally secure. Rest easy in that. You can have assurance of your salvation! Don’t let Pharisees inspect your fruit from afar. Don't let them change that doctrine into something that God never intended... a works based "gospel"! Grow in your faith in Christ and rest in His promise that your salvation is secure, not because of yourself, but because of God. That should be reassuring.
The Gospel is simple. Don’t let these evangelical elite complicate things like the Pharisees did in Jesus’ time.
