    I’m alive today because of the message John Cooper shared at a skillet concert in 2012, praise God for ppl like him that are willing to stand up and share the gospel when it isn’t the easy thing to do.

      @Ben.Jacobsen 4 года назад +1

      This really caught me too. So true. To some people though it seems they first need to hear „you’re enough“ due to their low self-esteem and then „you‘re not enough“ because Jesus has much more for you. What do you think about that?

    I first heard Skillet on a CD borrowed from my church's library in 1996. Of all the Christian CD's I borrowed and listened through those years, little did I know that the faithfulness of John to the Gospel would be just as alive then as it is in 2020. Thank you brother, you are a voice that I value!

    Bro. Cooper, Awesome stuff, as a side note, I’m sure you know your candor is going to get you in trouble at some point, under no circumstances should you apologize for what your saying, if you do your sure to be canceled, I would also like to say I really admire your bravery for speaking the truth with the position you have in the Christian community. God bless and keep up the good work.

    2mins in and John has already summed up the last 3 years of my church life. Seeing the deterioration of the church (and my church in particular) as the months have progressed makes me question whether I want to return to my church (not church in general) when this is all over. I haven’t watched online church (if you can call it that) for months, neither have me or my wife had contact from anyone in church and I know for a fact we are not the only ones.
    This isn’t just happening in the US but here in the UK too.

      Fraser Graham I won’t be returning to my very lukewarm excuse for a church where the stamp of covidic (not Dravidic!) fear has left its mark (of the beast!) ha, that was fun to write!

    • @frasergraham6022
      @frasergraham6022 4 года назад

      Linda Grace Byers thank you for sharing. I’m not sure we need to give the devil any credit. It’s hard to boil down in a RUclips comment but certainly in my church’s, it’s a case of a few individual’s in the senior pastors friendship circle receiving all the favour while other members who are passionate about the areas of ministry which they serve in such as myself had our “voices” quashed.

    • @LindaByers
      @LindaByers 4 года назад +2

      Fraser Graham, you know the part of the bible that talks about us not fighting against flesh and blood? It is so in our faces now, that this is spiritual warfare! And people are vying for positions, when Jesus MUST be the focus💖... man, the world sure does need our Saviour more then ever (and every generations for sure said this before us!). Have a wonderful day Fraser, it is a pleasure sharing encouragement and understanding with a brother in Christ

    • @frasergraham6022
      @frasergraham6022 4 года назад

      Linda Grace Byers you make a great point. Yet I would add that we shouldn’t be so quick to place fault especially in this context on the devil. Us humans are more than capable of messing up with external influence.
      Besides, I refuse to give the time of day or any credit to a being whose name is one letter off peanut sauce.....😂

    For me, it is all about being faithful in the Lord. It is sad that there are some Christian leaders who already tolerate what Scriptures teach and they are just abandon the truth. Let us pray that God will open the hearts and minds of every Christian, including Christian leaders, not only in America but also all around the world.
    Thank God for the preaching from Mr. John L. Cooper for today.

I have started a Podcast on Anchor.fm on Building Christian Manhood called Warrior Within. It is about reaching out to men again. There are so many leaders trying to fit into this world and are willing to join ideologies that are not the Gospel under the masquerade of "LOVE". Amen to Jesus out Lord!

    It’s kind of amazing how much God’s design for pregnancy and the intertwining of mother and baby…like it’s so perfectly constructed to where the baby is so apart of you as a mama..yet so distinct and separate, that literally the only thing that doesn’t make sense is abortion.
    When I lost my baby at 12 weeks pregnant…it was very much a thing that was happening TO ME. Very much traumatic for ME. Because it was like a medical situation for me and an emotional upheaval and so much sadness and everything. And yet my life went on without my baby. Because my baby was a separate person who died..like it’s just crazy how connected you are to your baby they really are APART OF YOU, yet that’s the thing that makes them such a responsibility and such a close and protected part of you. The fact that they are literally part of you is not a reason that you kill them it’s the reason you don’t.

    Keep it up John! Your right on the money. I'm very thankful for my church and my my pastor. His teaching is very sound . You can't ride the fence on some issues. The " A" word is one of them. We need to have compassion for women but tell them what we believe and why. Many women are hurt physically and mentally because of abortions. The devil likes to talk you into something then beat you up for doing it after.

    John, I love what you’re doing. I left the mainstream church a long time ago because of the crap you’re talking about.
    Listen, my friend, stop feeding what we’ve all been groomed to do, which is deny our own inner intelligence through the false belief that unless you have a THD, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
    In addition to knitting you in your mother’s womb with an awesome beard and raspy voice, God gave you a mind, and more importantly, He gave you passion.
    Passion is greater than purpose. Purpose is external, it’s about the results everyone else expects. Passion is internal. Passion is about identity. Passion is infinite because passion is the reflection of God inside of us. God didn’t do anything unless He was passionate about it first.
    But how many times are Christians told to stifle their passion? They are told their passion is selfish. I’ve seen it over and over, Christian leaders dragging people down because passion makes them uncomfortable. Is it because they have sold out?
    David wore his passion on his sleeve. I’d go so far to say king David was bi-polar. There would be no room for his passion in the mainstream church today. Think about that.

      Truly sickening and depressing. And not the first one I've heard saying that, you can add to that list Michelle Williams, Chelsea Handler, Uma Thurman, Keke Palmer, etc. In fact, just Google "celebrities who've had an abortion" and you'll find that nearly every single one of them says that the abortion allowed them to have a successful career and even later be a better mother (!) and "have a beautiful family when the time was right" and such stuff.

      His self-depracating is only true in the sense John’s wisdom is from God, not from himself. Many smart men and women become wise in their own eyes, but God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble who seek Godly wisdom.

    We tend to prioritize certain sins and elevate them, because they are either deemed acceptable or celebrated by the secular world, (even though all sin is equal in God's eyes). No one (in general) thinks murder or lying or theft is acceptable.

    I believe that what we are witnessing as whole denominations abandon sound biblical doctrine and turn instead to emotional, feel good heresy is the great apostasy of 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3.

    It is true, there is a lot of confusion in the churches. I have been learning to stop listening to leaders because NOW the only safe place is God.
