I’m Hungarian and I lived in China for more than 5 years. It’s great to gather in house churches. Not so formal, genuine fellowship, people showed so much hospitality, an amazing hunger to know Christ and grow spiritually. Of course the police was after us so we always had a birthday cake ready, in each meeting just in case they would show up. My family and I returned home before the pandemic because I got pregnant with my third baby but the other missionaries were caught and kicked out of the country in spring of 2021. Our people there are surveyed and followed but they have so much joy and faith because of persecution.
I love how Beckett smiles and laughs when he talks about persecution. A spoon full of sugar helps the medicine go down. We should rejoice to suffer for Jesus Christ’s sake. Hallelujah! Thank you Beckett!!!!
Or everyone should ditch the persecution complex, get out of the Bronze and early Iron Age and join the 21st Century, practice compassion, and quit following old, outdated, tribal culture edicts!
My husband and I just became members of a new church. The process involved a class, an application, an interview by an elder, and our signing a statement committing to abstain from immoral behavior (including sex outside of marriage, etc) and giving permission for church discipline if we do sin in a big or ongoing way. The pastor is also saying he would rather be sued than compromise on the Word of God.
The problem with churches in the west in general is that they are preparing their flocks for the rapture rather than persecution. The idea is that God will not allow His bride to suffer. Many are going to fall like a house of cards once real persecution hits because they will not be prepared to defend our faith and/or suffer for the truth. I can’t imagine suffering as the persecuted church around the world is currently experiencing. I pray for courage daily and pray for true revival among believers.
I pray for the same! We must not live in fear! I grew up in one of those churches and believed it for a long time! When I tried to tell someone who I was talking to from the church I grew up in. He was so rude! He claimed I was not living in faith! Then he said I had wasted the time they spent on me!??! Really? What Christian says that? I told him that it's in the Bible and the truth is the truth! I do not live in fear! I know what is coming and I still keep my eyes on Jesus! The storm is roiling all around us we must take this stand. Btw this is a man I hadn't seen in 25 years and he was trying to say that he was a good man of God who read the Bible and I should trust him?!? NOPE! The Bible tells us otherwise! He was just rude and wrong! I still couldn't believe what he said to me and how he treated me. If all of them act that way! Wow! We are going thru Persecution even now! It's just going to keep getting worse! Keep the faith in Jesus alive! He gave so much for us! We must not let the fears of our death make us run. The PHysical death is nothing! Because if we turn from God's only begotten Son then we will damn ourselves to hell! We must keep the faith!
"They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword.

I don't think most churches in 'the West' are preparing for the rapture. That's a particularly American theology and only became a theology relatively recently in church history. The issue is, most Christians don't have a theology of suffering that allows for the Holocaust, for the number of church members that are child abusers and engage in domestic violence, are viewing pornography etc. Christians generally ignore the horrific things going on in their midst.
Becket! My daughter was in your q&a this weekend in Texas. She and I are big fans! She was too shy to talk to you, but she really enjoyed it. Thanks for your ministries! Great video!
God Bless you, Becket. I have told so many people about your ministry - especially at the school where I volunteer. It’s a Christian school but there are many young people who are struggling with the lies the world tells them. Please keep telling the truth.
Wow, this is some next level spiritual warfare. It's just so ironic to me that (at least in my personal experience) the same types of people who are out here trying to persecute Christianity because of it's disagreement on homosexuality...are simultaneously posting in "solidarity" for the Muslim community who is being "discriminated" against. Guess how that religion feels about homosexuality too? People are lost and broken and confused. It's sad.

Open the Book and Read it!! Trust the Author of the Book. What remains after all these ideas flow around. Nothing new under the sun. Buck up folks in Christ!!!
Truly appreciate this show. I love how you base everything biblically. My friend who believed himself to be a gay Christian, and even said he knows so much about how the Bible verses people use against homosexuality are incorrect use. That he has examined the meanings in Greek and Hebrew and claims that what we read in the Bible today is wrong because the translation means differently. And that always rubbed me the wrong way to say that God has some secret revelation that only people who can read Greek can understand? He touted himself the authority of the subject. For a while, we always "agreed to disagree" and we stayed friends. However, this changed in January 2021. We had a spirited debate about a lot of things. He even said he appreciated our friendship because we could be real with each other, even when we disagreed. I am not sure why suddenly when I decided to engage the topic of his homosexual beliefs and life that suddenly I was this horrible, evil person to him. The point that in a completely different subject, he threatened me. Well, I have two young children, and I had to stop the friendship there because I couldn't risk whatever his threats could mean. My husband also agreed it was the right move. I still pray for him and wonder about him. I don't believe in coincidences with God, so I do think I must have hit a "nerve" with him on our last discussion over his lifestyle. I always tried to say things in love to him, but this time he was unwilling to hear it. All that to say, I know people who claim Christianity and claim to be homosexual and that you can live that life and have both. I also remember your discussion about how that is impossible. I even tried sending him links to your discussions. He said he knew about you, but he essentially believed it was destructive thinking. At any rate, just know you are appreciated for all you are doing. And I do believe the persecution is happening even now. I am sad about my friendship and what was, but it became too dangerous to keep that friendship with his threats. I hope I am not wrong in that thinking.
Hi Becket. As a fairly newly saved person I want to thank you for the articulate and calm manner with which you share your story and tackle difficult subjects. I pray my step daughters will find salvation; and I have more hope for them knowing there are people like you out there who found Christ and were saved out of sexual sin. What a powerful testimony you have. God bless ❤️
goodness! I appreciate this channel so much!! Becket your're truly a blessing and honestly one of the few gracious, authentic and biblically solid voices that I've heard in modern times. keep up the great work!!
your struggle with same sex attraction reminds me of my addiction to drugs ,It gives me comfort that I am not alone in my struggle against the flesh, keep fighting the culture Becket , Christ is King !!!
Thank you, Becket, for being an example of how to be a light and salt of this broken world. God bless you more as you stand by the truth and preach boldy of His words. I thank God for your life. May God bless you above and beyond what you ask and hope for.
Love your solid yet compassionate teaching. Thank you, Becket. You give us hope. Just thought this might give you a laugh: my 4 year old just walked by as I was watching your video, and he said nonchalantly, “Is that Bake-it Cooks, Mama?” I was SO shocked that he knew your name (or mostly knew it). Now you’ve been “Bake-it Cooks” around here for the last week!
I love how simple, yet profound it is. The church will not be destroyed no matter what anyone does because.... well, because Christ is king 🙌🏼 also thank you so much for the encouragement at the end ❤
@@dansaber4427 The only people who can eat from that tree were Adam and Eve. The tree was only in the garden. So of course you don’t eat from it. No one can
God put this video in front of me right when I needed it most. I was literally in tears after seeing more Christian persecution in the news today and was feeling so disheartened. Then your video popped up and gave me the scripture I needed to hear. God bless you, Becket! I needed this!
We don't need to feel fear or sad! The time is drawing near and we need to be willing to give our all for Jesus! Do not fear! Do not worry put your faith in Jesus he will help you thru this! Also remember we are a light in the dark world and they hate to have their perversions shown in the light! They prefer darkness! They prefer immoral people like them! The fact is Jesus called us to show love to our enemies! No matter what they say you are not the problem or evil one. They claim they want tolerance. Yet they won't give us that? Why? Because they really just wanted control and to bully us into being silent. Take up the chant "I am a Christian!"
@@js-tw3vs no. Just google "Canadian church denies LGBTQ membership". Though they don't say why they are suddenly being prohibited from membership, I think this church is experiencing problems with the LGBTQ community.
I have read Rod Dreher's book and it's one of the best things I read. Beckett, I have to tell you this, I was a gay affirming new Christian and I watched you just to listen to the other side, I've pretty much binge watched your videos over the last few months and you have completely convinced me. I am still in a liberal church which flies the rainbow flag proudly, however I am so glad I can recieve strong teaching here. I am looking for another church at the moment, which is difficult, I am based in Cambridge UK and I would say 99% of the Church Of England Churches are gay affirming here, I am having a meeting with a Romanian Orthodox priest next week, as I know they are more traditional. What an odd time to be living in.
Hi Anna, would you mind telling me the full title of Rod Dreher’s book please as I’m always on the look out for a good read. From a fellow Christian Cambridge Uk dweller 😁
“TRUTH - what is truth?” Pontius Pilot’s mindset is alive and growing. How can (2) opposing TRUTHS stand up to both be true? That mindset can’t stand up. Your message on knowing - basing solidly in scripture is a must. May we have the strength and gift of discernment and courage to stand firm in faith.
Yikes, that is alarming! Thanks, Becket, for the heads-up about this. Thank you, too, for the exhortation to be bold and courageous, and to rejoice for suffering for Christ. "Greater is He that is in me/us, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
A few years ago, my church had a workshop about how to study the bible on your own, because we know that the days are coming when churches will not be able to meet and share the true word of God.
There was this gay couple that started coming to our church a few years ago. We're a methodist church. Pretty conservative, but when they wanted to be involved in things like drama and music, we were excited to welcome them. We wanted the extra people. They only lasted a few weeks. Apparently one of them didn't think we were bigoted enough, and they couldn't cause a ruckus or rift. That's the grapevine story, any way.
Beckett, I'm so proud of you and so thankful for all your hard work. This was another amazing video. Praying for your ministry. If you have a minute, please pray for my daughter who is caught up in a mess, married to a man who now wants to become a woman. He has my daughter very confused about her own gender identity and I'm so scared of what will happen. Either way, Jesus is God and He loves her more than I do. Thanks again for all your encouraging work.
Becket- you are my hero because you have been persecuted for your faith and the joy of Christ is evident! I’ve been reading the four accounts in the four Gospels where Peter says he will go to prison and even lay down his life for Jesus minutes before he denied knowing Jesus three times. My prayer is I too will not deny Jesus for fear of losing my comfortable lifestyle.
The movie Sabina (2021) about Richard Wumbrand’s wife is on IMDB. There are also other RUclips videos. Thanks Beckett for all your videos. They are eye-openers.
Beckett, God truly called you out of the darkness with a very special purpose to use you in these times. Keep up the great work my brother and look forward to meeting you in heaven. Know my support for you isn't just financial on patreon but also prayers for you for wisdom, courage, comfort, and protection.
@@dansaber4427 Hey Dan, I hope you repent and turn to Christ before your final moment, something way worst than the talentless spergs in the shows you watch awaits the ones who reject the Son of God, and that's for all of eternity. Hope you get out of that edgy phase you're in. Have a good day.
Your voice is so needed in the church today. Thank you for teaching us and helping us to see things from your unique perspective. You are such an inspiration! God bless ❤️
I am praying the church will return as it's original. In every household not a building to gather and to party. Like Acts... It will be very effective to spread the gospel to see real born again active Christians not passive , churchgoers.
I was raised Roman Catholic and after many years away from the church, I began to attend an Episcopal church in my area. I enjoyed the fellowship and became an active member (note, I use the word active, not activist). Once again, circumstances began to change and I took a "break." Several years later, I returned and suddenly the term "social justice" was everywhere. Also, the idea that any and everyone was free and entitled to receive communion. I questioned this on the basis of this marginalizing one of the seven sacraments but I was quickly dismissed and I could feel the chill in the air. This particular church became a center of left wing political beliefs; older members left for more conservative churches and my husband decided to dig in and accept a vestry position to exact change. It was horrific; our lives were made miserable and we left feeling very discouraged. Several years later, I was born again and we are seeking a new church home now that the pandemic is waning. I think these disruptors weave a web of sin over a long period of time and they cater to and bring in like minded members. We have to stand strong; the world is a scary mess and Jesus is the only Light that will lead us out of it. Thank you, Becket.
Compromise always leads to more compromise. As Christians we must stand on the purity and entirety of the Bible, period. Thanks Becket for speaking up and standing firm. ❤ 💙
Thank you so much for sharing this! I will pass this onto my Pastor & encourage him to pass it along to his network of pastors & leaders. We must remain vigilant in our fight to preserve the word of the Lord and speak the TRUTH in love even if it means offending people!
Thank you Becket for doing another great job. Even though I'm a Christian I am still frightened by all of this. Anybody remember singer Anita Bryant? She was basically blacklisted for her Christian beliefs. And there is a interview on RUclips with singer Debby Boone. She says regarding homosexuality for years she thought the "old" way but now thinks the "new" way. Of course she is wrong because the bible is the same yesterday today and forever. Praying the church's never waver and come up with ways to protect themselves.
Hi Becket! All if your videos are educating and truth speaking for every true Christian. You are bold for the Word of God and speak up about organizations, churches, people in this world and time who follow Satan. I look forward to each of your videos because you are right on track. 😊
So grateful your listener told us about the movie Sabina. Very impactful re the times of today and what's to come. I found it on Tubi and highly reccomend. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
Hi! Jane here. Thank you for this informative program. What a sad situation that the church is being tricked by the "community". Of course there will be friction between those who turn their backs on God with their lifestyle, and those who love God. I feel like the gentleman with the cake shop might want to sell good quality, freshly baked sweet rolls and donuts so that he can continue his witness to the community, but then decorate cakes for word of mouth customers that he knows, from his home. I think you said that Gen Z is less likely to attend church? I pray they will seek the Lord, none the less. I am 64 years old, and fell in love with Jesus at 5, and heard God call my name at 6. I have always loved church but I miss the hymns that I have sung my whole life, and the music can get very loud, and because i am having health struggles right now my husband and I stay home. We fellowship with other believers as we can, and worship the Lord daily with our lives. Yes, things are complicated right now, but let's all stay close to the Lord, and in His word.
I would like to share a brief testimony. Last year, one day after spending a long time in intercessory prayer, I was attacked with something like sleep paralysis at night, but I kept going in and out of consciousness against my will. Something was sitting on my chest and my phone light kept flashing. It was truly horrible and terrifying.I called out to the Lord, but nothing changed. It kept going on for a while. Finally, it let up enough for me to turn on my bedside lamp. I’m sorry to say that I was so hurt that the Lord allowed that to happen to me that I was angry at Him and kept saying” How could you let that happen to me?!” ( I did apologize for my attitude when I calmed down) So finally He explained this to me recently. He said “The time when I toyed with your affections, you called out to me, but I didn’t call back. I wanted to see what you would do if I wasn’t available as I always had been.” I said, “ I got hurt and angry because my need for you was desperate and you didn’t show up” He said “I showed up when you thought you were going too deep to return. Because you need to understand that in this life there will be times when you won’t see me or feel me, but I am there. You must rely on me at ALL times, even when I seem far away. Even to the point of death. Then my glory will be displayed in your life. The wickedness of this world is great, but you must stand firm in my love, if not you will never know my greatness for what it truly is.” The scriptures He gave me are Proverbs 8:20,21-“I traverse the way of righteousness, in the midst of the path of justice. That I may cause those that love me to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries.” And Proverbs 4:18-“But the path of the just is like the shining sun- that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.”
Thank you for sharing this testimony! I went through similar experiences. Each time were various circumstances with different settings, people involved, time span, etc. All of them were life lessons I needed to go through to truly understand the message He was giving at the time. Yes some were HORRIBLE and I would get very emotional, depending on how long it lasted. We serve such an awesome God, He knows us so well! What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for others. I was a very stubborn, arrogant person for a long time until the Lord "worked on me". I can honestly say I am a better person because of all the mess I endured. It humbled me GREATLY! I used to have it ALL together(so I thought), looking back I don't know how people put up with me!! It's all a process and as long as we listen, learn, obey and spread the Good news of salvation (even our testimonies) we are on our way to becoming what God originally had in mind. And all things DO work out for His glory! God bless you in your continued walk with our Lord
Good Word Beckett! We cannot cave to culture. Pray for unusual strength to stay faithful! More Power To Ya, as Petra used to sing! Psalm 29; Isaiah 40:21-31😀
You can usually tell that something is off. We had a transgendered person ( male to female) that started coming to my little church in Burbank. It was pretty obvious that that person was a transgender. We moved during early covid so I don’t know what happened. However, that was an extremely conservative church. ( pastor from masters university).
Thank you again Becket for a good show and for your faithfulness to God and His word! Right after this show I also listened to your show about having joy... I really needed that because everything seems so uncertain in these trying days. Blessings!
Thank you for your encouragement! I'm dealing with a lot of things with my daughter recently. I love that verse you shared from Joshua (1:9)! I have that taped to my fridge, actually. It's for me but also for my husband and daughter who are lost.
@@BecketCook seriously, please never stop. We need people like you to keep fighting for Truth. God has given you an incredible platform. I am so grateful for His work in your life. I'm praying for you!
I left my women’s study because a woman started to attend a few years ago. Her partner attended the Sunday church service. Although our pastor clearly speaks out against all sin including same sex marriage. She admitted her struggle the group one time when I was not there. I specifically ask the leader should we talk with her. She told me we are all sinners. What shocked me is when our small group leader had her lead our group. This small group leader is a former missionary. I talked to her and her husband about my concern after this woman justified her lifestyle a few times during the study. My small group leader basically called me homophobic. I contacted a pastor of the church who was alarmed and confronted the the leader of the entire group. The church leaders didn’t know what to do and looked the other way. I eventually left the group. The person just recently moved due to a job advancement. Some of the ladies wonder why I left and my small group leader has gone to another church now. The women’s leader doesn’t really talk to me anymore. The Lord has moved despite the fear of our leadership.
You should have asked what they would have said if the woman was ask alcoholic who was actively drinking or opening sleeping with multiple men or dabbling in witch craft?
@@rebekahguilder602 That’s a good argument. Unfortunately, I don’t think they would say anything to them either. The group leader believes we need to just love people.
@@rebekahguilder602 Exactly, speaking the truth in love is what we are supposed to do. You don’t have to be mean when you are correcting someone to holiness. Can you imagine a parent never correcting their child and only loving them. How would they learn?
I've watched many of your videos and you never cease to amaze me! Your bravery is only surpassed by your profound faith! Jesus loves you! I love you! God bless you!
I wonder what Troy Perry thinks about al these people now going to regular denominations instead of the :Gay" Church he started sometime back in Los Angeles??????
Yes, we are in very good company with Jesus. What a friend we have in Jesus. Oh happy day when He left the ninety nine and saved a sinner such as I. All glory to Jesus Christ. God Bless you dear brother and much love.

All that to say, I know people who claim Christianity and claim to be homosexual and that you can live that life and have both. I also remember your discussion about how that is impossible. I even tried sending him links to your discussions. He said he knew about you, but he essentially believed it was destructive thinking. At any rate, just know you are appreciated for all you are doing. And I do believe the persecution is happening even now. I am sad about my friendship and what was, but it became too dangerous to keep that friendship with his threats. I hope I am not wrong in that thinking.
Hi Becket. As a fairly newly saved person I want to thank you for the articulate and calm manner with which you share your story and tackle difficult subjects. I pray my step daughters will find salvation; and I have more hope for them knowing there are people like you out there who found Christ and were saved out of sexual sin. What a powerful testimony you have.
God bless ❤️
Thank you. God Bless
goodness! I appreciate this channel so much!! Becket your're truly a blessing and honestly one of the few gracious, authentic and biblically solid voices that I've heard in modern times. keep up the great work!!
Your light shines so bright. You are doing the will of the Lord Becket. God bless you.
your struggle with same sex attraction reminds me of my addiction to drugs ,It gives me comfort that I am not alone in my struggle against the flesh, keep fighting the culture Becket , Christ is King !!!
Thank you, Becket, for being an example of how to be a light and salt of this broken world. God bless you more as you stand by the truth and preach boldy of His words. I thank God for your life. May God bless you above and beyond what you ask and hope for.
Love your solid yet compassionate teaching. Thank you, Becket. You give us hope.
Just thought this might give you a laugh: my 4 year old just walked by as I was watching your video, and he said nonchalantly, “Is that Bake-it Cooks, Mama?” I was SO shocked that he knew your name (or mostly knew it). Now you’ve been “Bake-it Cooks” around here for the last week!
aww how precious! and funny! 😊
Becket....Keep speaking Truth !!! Praise God for you and your clear stand on God's Word . Blessings !
I always think you are so brave! Thank you for this, a veritable 'heads up'. I love you Becket and pray for you every day. XOXO
Thank you. God Bless
The gates of hell shall not prevail against it. (The church) Because the Church is not a building, you cannot destroy it.
yay love it!
I love how simple, yet profound it is. The church will not be destroyed no matter what anyone does because.... well, because Christ is king 🙌🏼 also thank you so much for the encouragement at the end ❤
@@dansaber4427 We love you no matter what. I pray you may know Christs love and mercy

God bless you Becket, you are a true disciple of Gods word!
Thank you so much Beckett, you're very encouraging 🙂 we all need encouragement at this rough time
Being ‘nice’ is often opposite to being what is kind, loving and truthful.😇✝️🙏🏼💞
awesome love that thx
God put this video in front of me right when I needed it most. I was literally in tears after seeing more Christian persecution in the news today and was feeling so disheartened. Then your video popped up and gave me the scripture I needed to hear. God bless you, Becket! I needed this!
We don't need to feel fear or sad! The time is drawing near and we need to be willing to give our all for Jesus! Do not fear! Do not worry put your faith in Jesus he will help you thru this! Also remember we are a light in the dark world and they hate to have their perversions shown in the light! They prefer darkness! They prefer immoral people like them! The fact is Jesus called us to show love to our enemies! No matter what they say you are not the problem or evil one. They claim they want tolerance. Yet they won't give us that? Why? Because they really just wanted control and to bully us into being silent. Take up the chant "I am a Christian!"
God Bless
hitting me too, it's very very heavy to watch the trauma lots of people are enduring 💔🙏
I believe it's happening in Canada, too. A church was on the news recently, regarding this issue. ♥️🇨🇦
Do you have a video link?
@@js-tw3vs no. Just google "Canadian church denies LGBTQ membership". Though they don't say why they are suddenly being prohibited from membership, I think this church is experiencing problems with the LGBTQ community.
@@amandazplace5663Thank you!
Thank you Lord for using Beckett to encourage us ! Praise Jesus...We love you !
I have read Rod Dreher's book and it's one of the best things I read. Beckett, I have to tell you this, I was a gay affirming new Christian and I watched you just to listen to the other side, I've pretty much binge watched your videos over the last few months and you have completely convinced me. I am still in a liberal church which flies the rainbow flag proudly, however I am so glad I can recieve strong teaching here. I am looking for another church at the moment, which is difficult, I am based in Cambridge UK and I would say 99% of the Church Of England Churches are gay affirming here, I am having a meeting with a Romanian Orthodox priest next week, as I know they are more traditional. What an odd time to be living in.
Pray for the Lord to lead you, and follow his lead.
Praying you can find a Bible believing church in your area. 🙏🏽
Hi Anna, would you mind telling me the full title of Rod Dreher’s book please as I’m always on the look out for a good read. From a fellow Christian Cambridge Uk dweller 😁
@@abundleofmyrrh Hello! It is called 'Live Not By Lies'
🙏❤️
“TRUTH - what is truth?” Pontius Pilot’s mindset is alive and growing. How can (2) opposing TRUTHS stand up to both be true? That mindset can’t stand up. Your message on knowing - basing solidly in scripture is a must. May we have the strength and gift of discernment and courage to stand firm in faith.
Yikes, that is alarming! Thanks, Becket, for the heads-up about this. Thank you, too, for the exhortation to be bold and courageous, and to rejoice for suffering for Christ.
"Greater is He that is in me/us, than he that is in the world. (1 John 4:4)
Alwasy truth in love from you Becket! Thank you! This sin sick world needs you!
And PS ..Becket the precious comments by your followers have so touched my heart...
God bless our Brothers and Sisters in Christ !
A few years ago, my church had a workshop about how to study the bible on your own, because we know that the days are coming when churches will not be able to meet and share the true word of God.
There was this gay couple that started coming to our church a few years ago. We're a methodist church. Pretty conservative, but when they wanted to be involved in things like drama and music, we were excited to welcome them. We wanted the extra people. They only lasted a few weeks. Apparently one of them didn't think we were bigoted enough, and they couldn't cause a ruckus or rift. That's the grapevine story, any way.
You know what they say about playing the telephone game. This sounds pretty fictional.
Beckett, I'm so proud of you and so thankful for all your hard work. This was another amazing video. Praying for your ministry. If you have a minute, please pray for my daughter who is caught up in a mess, married to a man who now wants to become a woman. He has my daughter very confused about her own gender identity and I'm so scared of what will happen. Either way, Jesus is God and He loves her more than I do. Thanks again for all your encouraging work.
🙏 praying for them!
May God bless and protect your poor daughter xxx
Praying for them both right now.
Praying for your daughter. She needs God"s guidance and strength to be able to leave a MANIPULATED & manipulative 'husband'.
Becket- you are my hero because you have been persecuted for your faith and the joy of Christ is evident! I’ve been reading the four accounts in the four Gospels where Peter says he will go to prison and even lay down his life for Jesus minutes before he denied knowing Jesus three times. My prayer is I too will not deny Jesus for fear of losing my comfortable lifestyle.
The movie Sabina (2021) about Richard Wumbrand’s wife is on IMDB. There are also other RUclips videos. Thanks Beckett for all your videos. They are eye-openers.
Bless You Prison is a good on too!
Beckett, God truly called you out of the darkness with a very special purpose to use you in these times. Keep up the great work my brother and look forward to meeting you in heaven. Know my support for you isn't just financial on patreon but also prayers for you for wisdom, courage, comfort, and protection.
Thank you! God Bless
You make my faith stronger and my resolve more bold. Thank you.
Thank you. God Bless
God bless you
LOVE YOU BECKETT❤👏!!!
Absolutely we need to face that persecution is coming. It may not looking like being arrested so much as cultural shaming.
@@dansaber4427 Hey Dan, I hope you repent and turn to Christ before your final moment, something way worst than the talentless spergs in the shows you watch awaits the ones who reject the Son of God, and that's for all of eternity. Hope you get out of that edgy phase you're in. Have a good day.
@@dansaber4427 Just wondering..Do you think Jesus Christ is a “joke”?
Your voice is so needed in the church today. Thank you for teaching us and helping us to see things from your unique perspective. You are such an inspiration! God bless ❤️
I think the time is coming where we return to house churches, give up charitable status, and return to the Church no longer being a "public" place.
I am praying the church will return as it's original. In every household not a building to gather and to party. Like Acts... It will be very effective to spread the gospel to see real born again active Christians not passive , churchgoers.
You’re a valuable servant.
I was raised Roman Catholic and after many years away from the church, I began to attend an Episcopal church in my area. I enjoyed the fellowship and became an active member (note, I use the word active, not activist).
Once again, circumstances began to change and I took a "break." Several years later, I returned and suddenly the term "social justice" was everywhere. Also, the idea that any and everyone was free and entitled to receive communion. I questioned this on the basis of this marginalizing one of the seven sacraments but I was quickly dismissed and I could feel the chill in the air.
This particular church became a center of left wing political beliefs; older members left for more conservative churches and my husband decided to dig in and accept a vestry position to exact change. It was horrific; our lives were made miserable and we left feeling very discouraged.
Several years later, I was born again and we are seeking a new church home now that the pandemic is waning. I think these disruptors weave a web of sin over a long period of time and they cater to and bring in like minded members. We have to stand strong; the world is a scary mess and Jesus is the only Light that will lead us out of it. Thank you, Becket.
God Bless
You were born again at your baptism. Baptized Catholic, always Catholic.
Compromise always leads to more compromise. As Christians we must stand on the purity and entirety of the Bible, period. Thanks Becket for speaking up and standing firm. ❤ 💙
We’re in GREAT company 🙌🏻♥️ God bless you brother in Jesus Name
Thank you so much for sharing this! I will pass this onto my Pastor & encourage him to pass it along to his network of pastors & leaders. We must remain vigilant in our fight to preserve the word of the Lord and speak the TRUTH in love even if it means offending people!
The church is not a building. It’s not an organization. It’s the people who believe and obey the Gospel.
Rod Dreher's book is excellent, I read it during the lockdown last year. He has been quoted by Dr Heather Heying from the Darkhorse podcast 👍🏽
Thank you for the encouraging video, Becket!
I am thankful for your channel.
Thank you Becket for doing another great job. Even though I'm a Christian I am still frightened by all of this. Anybody remember singer Anita Bryant? She was basically blacklisted for her Christian beliefs. And there is a interview on RUclips with singer Debby Boone. She says regarding homosexuality for years she thought the "old" way but now thinks the "new" way. Of course she is wrong because the bible is the same yesterday today and forever. Praying the church's never waver and come up with ways to protect themselves.
Another great show.. what else can I say? Bless you Becket!
Amen!!
Hi Becket! All if your videos are educating and truth speaking for every true Christian. You are bold for the Word of God and speak up about organizations, churches, people in this world and time who follow Satan. I look forward to each of your videos because you are right on track. 😊
Thank you. God Bless
god bless you 🙏
May Gods wisdom flow through you🙏
Thank you for bringing more truth Becket! Very thought provoking video.
So grateful your listener told us about the movie Sabina. Very impactful re the times of today and what's to come. I found it on Tubi and highly reccomend.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤
thank u
Hi! Jane here. Thank you for this informative program. What a sad situation that the church is being tricked by the "community". Of course there will be friction between those who turn their backs on God with their lifestyle, and those who love God.
I feel like the gentleman with the cake shop might want to sell good quality, freshly baked sweet rolls and donuts so that he can continue his witness to the community, but then decorate cakes for word of mouth customers that he knows, from his home.
I think you said that Gen Z is less likely to attend church? I pray they will seek the Lord, none the less. I am 64 years old, and fell in love with Jesus at 5, and heard God call my name at 6. I have always loved church but I miss the hymns that I have sung my whole life, and the music can get very loud, and because i am having health struggles right now my husband and I stay home. We fellowship with other believers as we can, and worship the Lord daily with our lives.
Yes, things are complicated right now, but let's all stay close to the Lord, and in His word.
I appreciate your calm and sure speaking of the truth. Thank you for your ministry!
Just loved this Becket! So good and uplifting. Keep the faith.
Thanks Becket, good reminder. Bless you
I am behind on watching your episodes. But I just watched and I love all of this. Thank you Becket for teaching the Truth for Jesus!
I would like to share a brief testimony.
Last year, one day after spending a long time in intercessory prayer, I was attacked with something like sleep paralysis at night, but I kept going in and out of consciousness against my will. Something was sitting on my chest and my phone light kept flashing. It was truly horrible and terrifying.I called out to the Lord, but nothing changed. It kept going on for a while. Finally, it let up enough for me to turn on my bedside lamp.
I’m sorry to say that I was so hurt that the Lord allowed that to happen to me that I was angry at Him and kept saying” How could you let that happen to me?!” ( I did apologize for my attitude when I calmed down)
So finally He explained this to me recently.
He said “The time when I toyed with your affections, you called out to me, but I didn’t call back. I wanted to see what you would do if I wasn’t available as I always had been.”
I said, “ I got hurt and angry because my need for you was desperate and you didn’t show up”
He said “I showed up when you thought you were going too deep to return. Because you need to understand that in this life there will be times when you won’t see me or feel me, but I am there. You must rely on me at ALL times, even when I seem far away. Even to the point of death. Then my glory will be displayed in your life. The wickedness of this world is great, but you must stand firm in my love, if not you will never know my greatness for what it truly is.”
The scriptures He gave me are
Proverbs 8:20,21-“I traverse the way of righteousness, in the midst of the path of justice. That I may cause those that love me to inherit wealth, that I may fill their treasuries.”
And Proverbs 4:18-“But the path of the just is like the shining sun- that shines ever brighter unto the perfect day.”
Thank you for sharing this testimony! I went through similar experiences. Each time were various circumstances with different settings, people involved, time span, etc. All of them were life lessons I needed to go through to truly understand the message He was giving at the time. Yes some were HORRIBLE and I would get very emotional, depending on how long it lasted. We serve such an awesome God, He knows us so well! What works for one person doesn't necessarily work for others. I was a very stubborn, arrogant person for a long time until the Lord "worked on me". I can honestly say I am a better person because of all the mess I endured. It humbled me GREATLY! I used to have it ALL together(so I thought), looking back I don't know how people put up with me!! It's all a process and as long as we listen, learn, obey and spread the Good news of salvation (even our testimonies) we are on our way to becoming what God originally had in mind. And all things DO work out for His glory! God bless you in your continued walk with our Lord
This reminds me of Jacob wrestling with God (Genesis 32). God really taught you through that awful experience.
Hey everyone! God bless you! Xxx
Hooray always enjoy fridays bc Becket's here. (Friday here in Tasmania, Australia 🇦🇺)
:)
Thank you so much for sharing. All praise to Jesus
Thank you for speaking the truth in love, I'm always encouraged when you laugh at the absurd attacks on Christians, it removes fear. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
You are the perfect balance of grace and truth!
You continue to give me hope! Thank you for staying true to God's Word.
Thank you. God Bless
This morning I was thinking I need my Becket Cook fix. Thank you!
God Bless
The true church will be revealed through all this. Nothing wrong with house churches!
Amen! Speaking the truth!
Always encouraging the saints! 🙏🏽❤️
Good Word Beckett! We cannot cave to culture. Pray for unusual strength to stay faithful! More Power To Ya, as Petra used to sing!
Psalm 29; Isaiah 40:21-31😀
Becket, you're a treasure.
I was just about to mention house church right before you said it! Sounds good to me, it's how it was in the beginning!
You can usually tell that something is off. We had a transgendered person ( male to female) that started coming to my little church in Burbank. It was pretty obvious that that person was a transgender. We moved during early covid so I don’t know what happened. However, that was an extremely conservative church. ( pastor from masters university).
Dear Becket, you are a great evangelizator. Thank Our Lord! a chatolic Women from estern Europa
Thank you again Becket for a good show and for your faithfulness to God and His word! Right after this show I also listened to your show about having joy... I really needed that because everything seems so uncertain in these trying days. Blessings!
God Bless
Thank you for your encouragement! I'm dealing with a lot of things with my daughter recently.
I love that verse you shared from Joshua (1:9)! I have that taped to my fridge, actually. It's for me but also for my husband and daughter who are lost.
God Bless
Thank you for this Becket ❤
God Bless
@@BecketCook seriously, please never stop.
We need people like you to keep fighting for Truth.
God has given you an incredible platform.
I am so grateful for His work in your life.
I'm praying for you!
I agree, house gatherings is a good ideal!
Gay affirming = Christ denying.
I heard the Methodist churches allow gays in and that they teach grace as something that doesn't come with a requirement to change.
Thank you for sharing. God keep and bless you.
Always enjoy your shows
I left my women’s study because a woman started to attend a few years ago. Her partner attended the Sunday church service. Although our pastor clearly speaks out against all sin including same sex marriage. She admitted her struggle the group one time when I was not there. I specifically ask the leader should we talk with her. She told me we are all sinners. What shocked me is when our small group leader had her lead our group. This small group leader is a former missionary. I talked to her and her husband about my concern after this woman justified her lifestyle a few times during the study. My small group leader basically called me homophobic. I contacted a pastor of the church who was alarmed and confronted the the leader of the entire group. The church leaders didn’t know what to do and looked the other way. I eventually left the group. The person just recently moved due to a job advancement. Some of the ladies wonder why I left and my small group leader has gone to another church now. The women’s leader doesn’t really talk to me anymore. The Lord has moved despite the fear of our leadership.
You should have asked what they would have said if the woman was ask alcoholic who was actively drinking or opening sleeping with multiple men or dabbling in witch craft?
@@rebekahguilder602 That’s a good argument. Unfortunately, I don’t think they would say anything to them either. The group leader believes we need to just love people.
@@mechelledesigns that’s sad because holding each other accountable is loving.
@@rebekahguilder602 Exactly, speaking the truth in love is what we are supposed to do. You don’t have to be mean when you are correcting someone to holiness. Can you imagine a parent never correcting their child and only loving them. How would they learn?
wow
I really appreciate Mr Cook. God is with you !
Thank you. God Bless
Very excited to meet Rod on your show. I loved Live Not By Lies. Thank you Becket, God bless you

There’s NO DOUBT about your choice, Bro. Becket!! 🤜🏼🤛🏼👊🏼✝️💟
I wonder what Troy Perry thinks about al these people now going to regular denominations instead of the :Gay" Church he started sometime back in Los Angeles??????
Yes, we are in very good company with Jesus. What a friend we have in Jesus. Oh happy day when He left the ninety nine and saved a sinner such as I. All glory to Jesus Christ. God Bless you dear brother and much love.
