When the other party is entrenched in their support of murdering the unborn, redefining marriage and supporting transgenderism, what does she suggest Christian voters do?
If more women than men are affected by LGBTQ+ what do you think the correlation between the unhealthy body standards and them feeling like they are willing to look anywhere for love?
I think you’re one of my favorite voices. Except that occasionally you might tell more baseball stories for the largely male congregation and I had to wait for the all you can eat buffet of the word of the Lord. My other brother, Pastor Olan used to preach a full buffet with dessert, but you, sir, preach a mighty fine word.
I met this phenomenal Pastor in Sandy Cove MD on my birthday 5/17 in 2023. He gifted me with this Book and it changed my life tremendously. Thank you Pastor Dodson.
Such gross immaturity from Beth. But I suppose that happens when your platform becomes too big, humility vanishes and you create a man centered theology (woke).

It's always God's will that we replace man's theology and align, renew our minds to the truths in God's word. The Holy Spirit is the revealer of Truth and leads and guides us towards and into God's truths.
From Australia's Sunshine Coast - thanks. The first of the two reasons people prefer small church is still troubling me: The pastor knows my name... seems to echo no matter the size (it simply scales up) this inverted triangle that balances so precariously on 'the pastor'. That one charismatic person goes under a bus and we're done here. It almost stands in contrast to the second reason: I can make a difference here. That speaks to this small church pastor about ministry-of-all-believers, and a discipleship that energises folk well beyond turning up to be fed or entertained or stimulated in some 'consumer' way.
I am leaving the Baptist church for three reasons: 1) I feel that I can do more for Christ. 2) I'm going the distance in my walk with the Lord, but prayers are not being answered. 3) While at Baylor (Grad: 1991), the females at Baylor were absolutely arrogant, haughty, stuck up, and felt that they were better than everyone else. That was 33 years ago, and I'm still P.O.'ed about that. I experienced this same thing at First Baptist San Antonio and said no more, so I walked away from the Baptist faith. I am going Mormon and never looking back.
I’ve said it once I’ve said it twice I’ve said it many times you can always tell if somebody is crazy or a good person just by their eyes. And let me tell you folks this lady is 🦇 💩 😜
I was involved with a Christian school for years in which there were patterns of spiritual abuse. It took me years to acknowledge what was truly happening. I agree that it is Biblical and right to speak the truth in love, however, in my decades of personal experience the abuse merely uses their power to get rid of you. Very rarely does speaking the truth in love work with narcissistic leaders.
I think about how many people can't truly "get it." They are only there because hellfire and brimstone sermons got them as kids. It never actually removed any doubts about belief. Also, have you ever looked into how aspies and autists tend not to get it?
One daughter was Jill, one Robin, and one Kelly. Robin and Kelly were on my will once only under duress as well as my sister and my friend. I have no children. I’m not married. I am not looking to be involved in something this deceptive. I wondered about the gracious exit and what it would mean for my life. I ended up at First Baptist Church in Colorado Springs because I couldn’t understand why so many people were being shunted out of the new denomination. It seems the Methodist Church is undergoing the same transformation. Someone took all my savings and got my gas turned off today because some person had access to my phone through the new company while people are pretending I was involved in a celestial marriage, but of course I’m not a Mormon. So, I I’m sitting here in Kansas trying not to get shagged by someone pretending he’s my online boyfriend and really, I just want to come home and remain celibate.
I don’t have any children. My late husband had 3 daughters. One was adopted by a leader of your session and very happy. I used their plumbing company when I lived there. But I got chased out of my home and was told me and my dog would fxxxxx die bitch if I didn’t sell my house, so I finally did, only to come here to Kansas with people trying to get me to have sex. I have no children of my own.
Jack Graham like many other so-called evangelicals have lost much, if not all of their Christian witness,and as a result great damage has been done to the body of believers in their name.
Firstly, I am a "straight" evangelical Christian who seeks to wait upon the Lord Jesus, carrying too great a debt of sin ever to be paid except through the sacrificial death of the Risen Christ. I earnestly feel it must be said, the sin of hypocrisy and judgementalism is most unequivocally the Unforgivable sin. Jesus doesn’t mention same sex sexual behaviour once in His entire ministry in spite of its cultural prevalence in the adjacent Roman and Greek cultures of the time. He warns of eternal jepoardy (as does Paul) solely in terms of the "leaven of the Pharisees" -- the supposed guardians of moral heritage -- far more vehemently. It's strange that although evangelicals often point to Levitical and Pauline edicts on homosexuality as foundational, yet neither mentions female same sex relationship, only "unnatural /animal" passions between woman and..? not clear cut at all. Why not incontrovertible if this matter is supposed to be a closed case? Other strictures regarding women's conduct are clearly set out particularly about hygiene and propriety. It couldn't possibly be that same sex coercion, ritual promiscuity and violence are far more likely on the masculine side of the equation due to men's penetrative physical characteristics? making the admonitions far more likely to refer to forceful and cruel /promiscuous behaviour than simply "relationships". (Nevertheless those who are tolerant in the same sex issue should not offend those who can't handle Gods grace in tough theological situations by throwing around their theories and ideas dogmatically and insensitively: "Hast thou faith? Have it to thyself" - Romans 14). Matthew 12 is a warning to let Jesus cast out the demons we are incapable of dealing with - particularly if our self righteous doctrinaire orthodoxy thinks it can decide for Him how He does this, WE are in jeopardy of judgement - not the sinner! "Beware the leaven of the Pharisees". Pray those you disagree with, or whose practices you cannot accept, into the Kingdom. Lead them to Jesus as you would ANY sinner and let Christ rescue them His way and in His time. The law is clearly far more about adultery and promiscuity not simplistically orientation. And the most serious sins of all? Presumption, hypocrisy, judgmentalism. Beware.
@@harrellambert7607 no one has yet addressed any of the specific points raised in the above post. The Pharisees would not answer Jesus questions. Because they only sought to condemn not to bring compassion. "The Lord is merciful and gracious, slow to anger and plenteous in mercy" "Let those without sin cast the first stone" blessings in your searching in submission to Him
@@mikebluarmy2 Your post is very long and complicated.... Let me address one specific point. Jesus did address it when he indicated that marriage is to be between one man and one woman. That means all other variations are a sin. BTW, the woman caught in adultery was told "Go and sin no more." Forgiveness is available if we will repent... But forgiveness is not available to those who would persist in unrepentant sin.
“The large majority of pastors that I see are on the spectrum of cluster B personality disorders which includes narcissism…” “This is sort of a rare breed… so it doesn’t surprise me that they’re sort of in that narcissistic family” 😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨😨
I pray for all of the Christians out there to find their way to the Eastern Orthodox Church. It's the church founded by Jesus Christ and has not changed. It is the true body of Christ. I invite you to at the very least, attend a Divine Liturgy and study the history of the church fathers. As a Christian, you owe it to yourself to, at the very least, understand that church. Forget what your Protestant friends and family say, and find out for yourself. I say this out of love.
I hate to be critical of men of the cloth... I'm just not going to take wisdom from a person who goes to college, forsake a professionals career to become a failed pastor.
God is calling ppl to b Holy n I believe being straight is included n that. Even if u r not actively involved n a gay relationship, if ur imaginations r of the gay persuasion u're still guilty of that sin just like if u r straight n ur imaginations r of straight sexual activity u're still guilty of that sin of fornication. N that's Bible!
"Craft a message"? Stanley is more a Twister of Scripture. Not once in this did he speak of studying in context and give examples of how to find the meaning. Not once did he offer citations of known quality expositors of scripture or places to go study to mine out the meanings of scripture. Not once does he encourage people to study deeper in a way to become close with God. But what he does offer are his own strawman arguments and assessments and his own philosophy of life then goes full speed and in an uncaring manor to twist Gods plain word to make scripture say something that it actually doesn't say. Beware of this wolf in sheeps clothing.
Christianity, even more than other religions, is a bridge of reinforcing statements, teachings, doctrines, history, and systematized theology. There are many places in the supporting members where a weakness can bring the whole structure down. The internet has provided a forum for scholars and students to discuss the texts of the Bible, the actions of the leaders, the developing theology subsequent to the last selection and editing of the Bible, etc. Scholars and students have found the Bible and the Christian faith it spawned to be so rotten that the entire project has to be scrapped. Deconstruction is evaluation and recommendation, just as it is in engineering. The New Atheism is not in decline. The leaders have created a body of intellectual best-practices that the next generations will be using in a wave of secular humanism. The silver lining for Christian churches is that members who want to live in an alternate reality will be concentrated in them and will have all the benefits of tribalism.
We have To remember that there is nothing new under the Sun and the Blood of Jesus has the power to Change anyone. The problem is we cant counsel a demon spirit it has to be cast out first and then you counsel the person so they won't invite that spirit back in. the person will know how to recognize the fruits of that Spirit and resist it....
Platt destroyed McLean Bible Church (MBC) and is living in an exclusive expensive neighborhood and has probably raked in millions in income and tax shelters. He threatened a Christian wife, mother, and missionary with arrest and jail in after she raised suspicious financial and contractual dealings. He wasted millions of dollars of congregational dollars to fight legal-probes demanding financial and operational transparency. He asks speaking fees of 20,000 to tell you to impoverish yourself. Much of this is now out in court records.
