It makes sense because we as humans are only instruments. If the Holy power and dark power did not exist, human would just lay there just like a statue waiting to me carried from one place to another. We humans are vessels to be used by either good or bad power. Unfortunately there is no middle ground for us. We either belong to the light or darkness. The sadness part is that darkness is dominating in this world and many people do not believe that they are vessels to be filled with either good or evil. Many still believe they belong to themselves. Anyone belonging to themselves belongs to darkness

Thanks for this message. I live near the church that opened up their men's conference with a stripper act. I never went there because I long recognized it wasn't a godly church. Regular attendance there was about 15,000. I was told it fell to about 200 after the controversy exploded. The congregation was that offended. It is a tragedy that moral leadership and ethical outrage comes from the congregation and not the pulpit anymore.
Are you serious?! JRC? If so, then in my opinion, it was the arrogance and immaturity of the pastor that was far worse than the original lapse in judgement. I've been monitoring the TH-cam sermon where he called for repentance, and it's obvious the church was wiping critical posts from the comment section, but from the comments I read and the attendance of the congregation, they appeared to be circling of the wagons and in defiance of rebuke from other sincere Christians on that YT post. This is alarming. The "thumbs down" to "thumbs up" ratio was 10,000 to 1,000 and critical comments were 3:1 until they were wiped. And yet, this church continues to support their pastor's arrogance.
@@jdsalinger73 Lindell founded the church so I'm not sure there are any avenues to remove him except through breaking it financially through non attendance. The church is all glitz and glam. It's a regular rock concert every Sunday morning.
@@markscheidler5331 I was pondering your claim of attendance drop this morning. It's hard to believe that 14,800 members would walk away from JRC on account of this issue. Can I ask, where did you get the 200 attendee number? The "Sunday after" sermon that I watched appeared to have a full house. If true, this is stunning, but gives me hope.
@@jdsalinger73 honestly, it was a friend of a friend so there may have been some exaggeration. Regardless, based on what we were told it was significant which is gratifying unto itself.
The Biblical Sabbath is Saturday and was never changed. Perhaps they're implying that if a church doesn't take the 4th commandment seriously, it will naturally lead to them not taking the rest of God's Word and Gospel seriously either.
You could become Saturday-focused and have faulty doctrine still. These people can easily move these theatrical events to any day of the week. I believe the author of the video meant "being Sunday-focused" in the sense of making a big deal of the "performance" on a Sunday, rather than seeing each day of our lives as dedicated to worship God. And E.G. White had very unsound doctrines that will lead people to hell because her teachings lead people away from the gospel and sound teaching. Her visions and revelations are so unbiblical we need to be careful - we should be careful. It's not those who meet on Sunday for fellowship that are sinning. Paul said one day is holy to one man and another day to another. Colossians 2:8-23 clearly says let no man condemn you in regards to Sabbaths, food, etc. because they were a SHADOW of things to come! Christ has fulfilled ALL things. The Bible warns us in the passage that we should not let any man SPOIL us through these things with observing eg Sabbaths because THEY MAKE A SHOW OF "wisdom" and "humility". It's a show, pride essentially, according to God's word. Please, please, look into these things and the false prophetess E. G White was. Please!
I don't make a habit of promoting other people but I always tell my family to watch you, Word Speak 1048, and Chit-Chat because yall are the ones I see that are serious about God and have many of the same biblical beliefs. I appreciate you all more then I can express with words.
Thank you brother for this video. It greatly helped me and I fully agree. I fell into sin and was a belieber but füll of compromise. It leads to destruction . Thank God, He had mercy on me and opened my eyes. Now I turned from my sins and really and sincerely want o follow Him in holiness. Praise God
I concur wholeheartedly! It is becoming more and more difficult to find a church where the Word is faithfully taught & preached. However, we are told that the day will come when people will want to have their ears tickled, rather than hear sound doctrine, and that there will be a great rebellion. We are seeing that before our very eyes. Even so come, Lord Jesus! There will be so many who hear, "Depart from me. I never knew you."
Have you ever fasted and prayed and ask God directly to find the only church that he authorized? These churches that y’all follow are all man made which belongs to the devil. The Church of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible doesn’t look like or match the foolishness we see going on. Therefore they are all FALSE CHURCHES.
@@susanmulder2660 There are 27x the amount of churches in america as there are McDonalds. Very few don't read out of the bible on Sundays....and theyre normally the few mega churches such as ones in this video.
Thank you for speaking the truth. I am in Australia and have had to move a lot in the country, the churches are few and far between in remote areas. It's a huge country. We have lived in cities at times and most of the Churches are social clubs or entertainment centres. We struggle to find prayer groups ,bible studies etc. Even the smallest churches are carbon copies of bethel or hillsong. Some have 50 minutes of repetitive music and maybe 20min or less of Scripture. One town I lived had 60 so called christian churches. It had extremely high crime rates and child abuse and drug addiction. If the spirit of God had been upon them would not the city have been changed? I have seen several Churches destroyed by adultery of pastors and leaders. It leaves people shattered.
I TOTALLY AGREE with everything you said. It's heartbreaking and a definite sign of the times! Keep preaching it brother! As a brother of mine has said- "If Paul came to visit the churches today, they would be getting a letter!"
Paul would probably have the biggest muscle cramps in his hand because he'd be writing so much. I'm so appalled at what is happening now. There is a great falling away, and we've got to be praying harder for eyes to be opened.
The church is so apostate that my wife and I left and haven't been back since 2021. I miss fellowship, sort of, but I haven't drifted. I wasn't getting fed at all in those churches.
There are so many of us that have turned away from the tradition of this modern day "church playing" and have had to forfeit fellowship because we want to stay true and be obedient to God's command for holiness. I've been out for many years and the church I decided to try because u knew the character of the pastor has proven it too, is not a church seeking to be holy. It is not heretical in teaching but there is a spirit of compromise and favoritism that has overlooked sins from certain people. Just as the church started is how it will finish, I believe...in homes or underground. Blessings to you both. Stay strong, stay faithful!!
I understand your mindset, but I do think there are still churches that are the true “church.” Stay away from the big shiny mega churches and look at the small churches with pastors who care about the truth. My pastor has been taking us through a class about their doctrine and I have enjoyed knowing why they believe what they believe. I pray you can find somewhere that is the true church because I feel like fellowship is so important.
@@jessicavogt1690 Is your church 501c3? If so, then you are only getting "government-approved" messages. Does your pastor warn people to repent and discuss the signs of the times? Do you have altar calls? The last baptist mega church we attended did some of those things, but it was 95% mega church. There were other questionable things we saw and heard others talk about. Sr. pastor had Friendships with freemasons (I questioned him and he claimed to be ignorant, yet name-dropped in his book a few months later), Sr. pastor claimed to be anti-LGBT at church, but wouldn't denounce homosexual marriage when interviewed by a reporter.
I can certainly understand how disappointing it is when the Church fails in its calling. Still, there are Bible preaching churches out there. God is still working.
It’s so sad that church leaders would rather talk about entertainment, how their “labor” got them Gucci, dumb down sin and desecrate the Word by pouring maple syrup on it! Really! I would’ve said the altar, but that’s not any altar that our Most Holy God would visit. My prayer is that they are convicted by their actions and REPENT! Jesus is coming back and He’s looking for a Church without spot nor blemish! If anyone on here belongs to any churches like these, RUN! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
So many of these churches have had their lamp stands removed, if ever they had a lamp stand to begin with. Your presentation of these heresies is smart and concise, praise the Lord for your ministry.
The late Lary Goss preached on this in the 80s and it was recorded, Pentecostal gold Lary Goss- remember Lots Wife--- The most humble man I ever met. He had a doctors in theology and a masters in biblical studies, I found this out by reading one of his books, he never mentioned it, all I know is he loved God. You can sit in a church all your life and miss God. The sermon will not disappoint..
Honest and truthful, I am in Indianapolis, recently invited to traders point by a friend. I could not help but hear how being a servant to the Kingdom was replaced with being a service to the church, as a parking lot attendant, working at the coffee bar, or child care services. Comfort, entertainment, and convenience is the broad path to destruction. Thank you for sharing!
Malachi in modern day!! These churches, and especially the pastors (or wolves in sheep's clothing) are not going to be dancin and singing when the judgment of God falls on them. And because they are leaders, their judgment will be heavier.....how does this not register with them?!! They truly have absolutely NO FEAR OF GOD! Man, what a scary place to be! The people also will be held accountable for knowing what was expected by God and not doing it. Lord, God of all....I humbly bow my head and my heart in much thanks and gratitude for the Spirit you have given to reveal the peddlers of darkness. I am grateful that you have blessed me with a discerning heart, mind and spirit to your holiness that I am not taken in as others are. I pray for those in these churches that have the unction by the Holy Spirit that something just isnt right and they would be obedient to walk out and take others with them. Give them a heart for holiness and the eyes to see that what's before them aint it. Call out your people, Lord....give them the ears to hear. In Jesus name.
The reverence and the Holiness of God have not been taught at many churches today. God is Holy, and we, the church, should recognize that always. The pulpit is also holy and should be respected, too.
My family who is non church going came to my daughter's baptism. They were delighted that we don't have a lot. And that we sing loud and not very well. But we sing to God. All glory is to Him. We make it work. My 9 year old plays the piano somstimes. She only knows Kumbaya by heart and you know what? That is okay. We love eachother and worship God. We have everything we need. Praise be to God. Oh we so have two fancy things: we are getting name tags and matching shirts! There are maybe 30 of us. Praise the Lord!
I just prayed for you, that God will touch and open your heart, and that you will come to really know that Jesus loves you! He died for our sins, rose again on the 3rd day, sits on the right hand of God, and he is coming back. You don't have to be eloquent, but PRAY. It may come out awkward. It may feel strange, and you'll probably feel self-conscious. Still, pray. Don't look for the "right" words. Just speak from your heart. Just start there, where you are. God sees you. He is listening, 🙏🏾and He loves you! In John 14:6, "Jesus answered, 'I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Psalms 34:4: "I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears."
Why can’t we stop calling these man made social clubs as churches. They don’t resemble the church as in the New Testament. The one Jesus created with 12 ordained men as his representatives, preaching and baptizing every kindred, nation, tongues and people. Y’all need to pray to find the original church.
That is a quote from the great Charles Spurgeon. Even back in his day, churches were a lot like what is shown in this video. It was called the Downgrade Controversary. Sure seems like nothing has changed in churches since back in his day.
@@daledickerson-r9u I think it’s worse now. I grew up in a time with all churches except the Catholic Church believing in being born again. Complete water, immersion Baptism after Repentance, etc. Now this new generation deny Baptism despite Jesus setting the example and telling us we cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven without being Baptized by water and of the Spirit. It use to be the Godhead as written in the Bible. Now it’s the created man made ideology and false interpretation that its the trinity because it makes sense to the carnal mind perpetrated by a philosopher who came up with that idea. Meanwhile they have changed and corrupted the things of God written in the Bible to make it make sense to the flesh. The devil is very cunning and crafty, deceiving the masses leading many astray.
You sound like you know your Bible very well and are Biblically sound! And Jesus said the world (which, sadly, includes the church) will get more and more worse as we approach closer to the last days.
@@daledickerson-r9u Yes…we are indeed in the last days of the last days and satan is working overtime and many are willingly going his way by not following sound doctrine. God’s warnings of the enemy is being ignored by the masses and it’s sad. They are more leaning unto their own understanding rather than going to God through prayer and fasting to be blessed with correct interpretation and understanding. Most don’t even realize that there is over 40,000 different churches and 1,000 different versions of the Bible and they accept them all. Good does things in order and he never gave us anything to confuse us. It’s 1 Lord, 1 Faith and 1 Baptism. Satan’s weapon of mass destruction are his lies and his targets are our minds. God says to be carnally minded is death and to be spiritually minded is peace and life.
I don’t want to go to church to be entertained or be prophe-lied to!!! I want to learn more about righteousness and Holy living! Strobe lights and carnival acts DO NOT belong in any church!
thank you for this post. THANK GOD I'm Catholic!!! I'm so happy that the church is slowly returning to the more holy Tradional Latin MASS and the movement is being led by the young people!!! who are looking for more holiness.
I believe so much of this started with the youth groups back in the 80’s-early 90’s. I remember then trying to find one for my boys that didn’t involve trips to six flags, pizza eating contests, over nighters with the latest bands there. Anything to “entertain” the kids. My thoughts then were that they should be taught services of love to the community and how to witness salvation to those they helped.….get people saved AND THEN bring them to church. Church isn’t a hospital for the sinner. It’s a place for the BELIEVERS-THE BRIDE to worship the Lord and be fed and strengthened to go out that week and witness for ourselves. We are encouraged to invite our neighbors and sinners to church for the numbers. Then the message is then softened to keep them and they aren’t vetted before they are put to work using their so call “gifts”. They “think” they are saved at best…. Sneaking into the body for evil practices at worse.
Wretched Radio was what helped me become discerning of false teachers. Still a great channel. Todd was a former comedian and still a great personality for his job. Give him more than a minute if his style isn’t your first choice. He is solid.
You are absolutely correct brother Cory! We are living in the days of 2nd Timothy 4:3-4! We are living in a time when people reject sound doctrine. And instead, they are getting preachers who preach according to their own lusts. They are rejecting the truth and believing myths!
Churches that have 2 and 3 services on Sunday Morning, (No alter call between services, for prayer for invitation for salvation) No Sunday Night Service for people who work on Sunday mornings. What, do they think people are supposed to quit their job to go to church? Other churches only have Service Sunday Morning but they don't have a midweek service or bibles study.
I may have to share this video with our small group. It is truly outstanding and I’m sure it will foster great conversation and examination of what we are doing. This is a very good video. It needs to go viral.

Thank you for this video, backing up with scripture to teach the only truth that matters. God is Sovereign and Holy, His ways are above our ways and His word is pure.
2nd Timothy 3:1-5 starts out "There will be terrible times in the last days" read it for yourself. My heart gets so heavy. I hope you're prepared. Christs forgiveness is easy. No matter what, God can save... Jesus, even so, there are so many lost in this world come. Amen
Hello Corey I am aghast and appalled by what is going on in the 'church'. The fear of God has bypassed these people and I cannot understand how they can feel comfortable saying and doing what they are doing. May God continue to bless yoh and your family. I thank my Lord for you and wisdom you show with each h message .
I agree with what you are saying. Why do some of these ministers think we want children and adults to entertain us. We come to church is to hear the truth taught to us, rather they are reading the gospel of Jesus Christ to us, or teaching us the old testament. We desire and need to hear the taught to us. God’s words are daily spiritual food. Man can not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceed out of the word of God. Yes, we need to continue hear teaching on sin from our preachers and teach ourselves.
One speaker in an evangelical church I used to attend was promoting Taylor Swift and her song lyrics! There is no mention of sin and repentance and it has become very showy. Thank you for your video that hopefully opens people's eyes to the deceit that is being promoted in the pulpits these days

Can I ask, where did you get the 200 attendee number? The "Sunday after" sermon that I watched appeared to have a full house. If true, this is stunning, but gives me hope.
@@jdsalinger73 honestly, it was a friend of a friend so there may have been some exaggeration. Regardless, based on what we were told it was significant which is gratifying unto itself.
Wow!
it's scary what's happening at our gathering places.. we're losing our way
The Pastor should preach THE WORD ONLY, and let God convict the heart that “JESUS” brought salvation to all that would repent and come to Him.
The TRUE BODY OF CHRIST has not lost its way. The sheep continue to follow THE GOOD SHEPHERD!
Let us continually pray for those who have gone astray.
I’m so glad this video is up. Let’s open our eyes and attempt to open the eyes of those around us before it’s too late
Amen you spoke so articulate. God Bless us all, and may we take back the Christian Church back from the blasphemous and wicked.
AND, It is disgusting!! AND, I call them out to their face. God is NOT pleased!
The problem? The Bible isn't taken seriously, and being Sunday focused, shows why God's Law has been rejected by most.
Say more
The Biblical Sabbath is Saturday and was never changed. Perhaps they're implying that if a church doesn't take the 4th commandment seriously, it will naturally lead to them not taking the rest of God's Word and Gospel seriously either.
Correct 💯💯💯
SAY IT AGAIN FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!!!!!
You could become Saturday-focused and have faulty doctrine still. These people can easily move these theatrical events to any day of the week. I believe the author of the video meant "being Sunday-focused" in the sense of making a big deal of the "performance" on a Sunday, rather than seeing each day of our lives as dedicated to worship God.
And E.G. White had very unsound doctrines that will lead people to hell because her teachings lead people away from the gospel and sound teaching. Her visions and revelations are so unbiblical we need to be careful - we should be careful. It's not those who meet on Sunday for fellowship that are sinning. Paul said one day is holy to one man and another day to another. Colossians 2:8-23 clearly says let no man condemn you in regards to Sabbaths, food, etc. because they were a SHADOW of things to come! Christ has fulfilled ALL things.
The Bible warns us in the passage that we should not let any man SPOIL us through these things with observing eg Sabbaths because THEY MAKE A SHOW OF "wisdom" and "humility". It's a show, pride essentially, according to God's word. Please, please, look into these things and the false prophetess E. G White was. Please!
Well said. Fully agree. All praise to Him who loves us and gave Himself for us!!!
Thank you for this much needed wake up call for the church.
Carnal means….. carnal men! That’s a whole word right there Pastor 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❣️
I don't make a habit of promoting other people but I always tell my family to watch you, Word Speak 1048, and Chit-Chat because yall are the ones I see that are serious about God and have many of the same biblical beliefs. I appreciate you all more then I can express with words.
Wow thank you Cory, I am a Pastor and this has blessed me
Thank you brother for this video. It greatly helped me and I fully agree.
I fell into sin and was a belieber but füll of compromise. It leads to destruction .
Thank God, He had mercy on me and opened my eyes. Now I turned from my sins and really and sincerely want o follow Him in holiness. Praise God
I concur wholeheartedly! It is becoming more and more difficult to find a church where the Word is faithfully taught & preached. However, we are told that the day will come when people will want to have their ears tickled, rather than hear sound doctrine, and that there will be a great rebellion. We are seeing that before our very eyes. Even so come, Lord Jesus! There will be so many who hear, "Depart from me. I never knew you."
Sad but true ...we're in those days
I get your point, but it definitely isn't that hard to find a church where the word is faithfully taught and preached.
Have you ever fasted and prayed and ask God directly to find the only church that he authorized? These churches that y’all follow are all man made which belongs to the devil. The Church of Jesus Christ as recorded in the Bible doesn’t look like or match the foolishness we see going on. Therefore they are all FALSE CHURCHES.
@@baronrichmond5667I disagree!
@@susanmulder2660 There are 27x the amount of churches in america as there are McDonalds. Very few don't read out of the bible on Sundays....and theyre normally the few mega churches such as ones in this video.
Thank you for speaking the truth. I am in Australia and have had to move a lot in the country, the churches are few and far between in remote areas. It's a huge country. We have lived in cities at times and most of the Churches are social clubs or entertainment centres. We struggle to find prayer groups ,bible studies etc. Even the smallest churches are carbon copies of bethel or hillsong. Some have 50 minutes of repetitive music and maybe 20min or less of Scripture. One town I lived had 60 so called christian churches. It had extremely high crime rates and child abuse and drug addiction. If the spirit of God had been upon them would not the city have been changed? I have seen several Churches destroyed by adultery of pastors and leaders. It leaves people shattered.
I TOTALLY AGREE with everything you said. It's heartbreaking and a definite sign of the times! Keep preaching it brother! As a brother of mine has said- "If Paul came to visit the churches today, they would be getting a letter!"
Most definitely would
Paul would probably have the biggest muscle cramps in his hand because he'd be writing so much. I'm so appalled at what is happening now. There is a great falling away, and we've got to be praying harder for eyes to be opened.
Amen 😢this is terrible God is going to judge these false preachers
The church is so apostate that my wife and I left and haven't been back since 2021. I miss fellowship, sort of, but I haven't drifted. I wasn't getting fed at all in those churches.
There are so many of us that have turned away from the tradition of this modern day "church playing" and have had to forfeit fellowship because we want to stay true and be obedient to God's command for holiness. I've been out for many years and the church I decided to try because u knew the character of the pastor has proven it too, is not a church seeking to be holy. It is not heretical in teaching but there is a spirit of compromise and favoritism that has overlooked sins from certain people.
Just as the church started is how it will finish, I believe...in homes or underground.
Blessings to you both. Stay strong, stay faithful!!
Good.
I understand your mindset, but I do think there are still churches that are the true “church.” Stay away from the big shiny mega churches and look at the small churches with pastors who care about the truth. My pastor has been taking us through a class about their doctrine and I have enjoyed knowing why they believe what they believe. I pray you can find somewhere that is the true church because I feel like fellowship is so important.
@@jessicavogt1690 Is your church 501c3? If so, then you are only getting "government-approved" messages.
Does your pastor warn people to repent and discuss the signs of the times?
Do you have altar calls?
The last baptist mega church we attended did some of those things, but it was 95% mega church. There were other questionable things we saw and heard others talk about. Sr. pastor had Friendships with freemasons (I questioned him and he claimed to be ignorant, yet name-dropped in his book a few months later), Sr. pastor claimed to be anti-LGBT at church, but wouldn't denounce homosexual marriage when interviewed by a reporter.
I can certainly understand how disappointing it is when the Church fails in its calling. Still, there are Bible preaching churches out there. God is still working.
It’s so sad that church leaders would rather talk about entertainment, how their “labor” got them Gucci, dumb down sin and desecrate the Word by pouring maple syrup on it! Really! I would’ve said the altar, but that’s not any altar that our Most Holy God would visit. My prayer is that they are convicted by their actions and REPENT! Jesus is coming back and He’s looking for a Church without spot nor blemish! If anyone on here belongs to any churches like these, RUN! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
The one that got me was at 7:45 I couldn’t believe that guy said what he did, but I 🙏 that they go back to what the church is supposed to be✔️
Great job beloved .. Thank you for your due diligence and all glory to our Heavenly Father
🗡️✝️🛡️
So many of these churches have had their lamp stands removed, if ever they had a lamp stand to begin with.
Your presentation of these heresies is smart and concise, praise the Lord for your ministry.
The late Lary Goss preached on this in the 80s and it was recorded, Pentecostal gold Lary Goss- remember Lots Wife--- The most humble man I ever met. He had a doctors in theology and a masters in biblical studies, I found this out by reading one of his books, he never mentioned it, all I know is he loved God. You can sit in a church all your life and miss God. The sermon will not disappoint..
PLEASE DEAR BROTHER KEEP THIS SORT OF TEACHING COMING FOR IT IS NEEDED MORE TODAY THAN EVER + THE GOSPEL AND THE TRUE WORD OF GOD JESUS AMEN
The Great Commission is to go make disciples, not grow membership numbers or gain “converts” that will tithe to fund our huge “worship” shows.
Thank you so much for this video. It was truly eye opening.
Honest and truthful, I am in Indianapolis, recently invited to traders point by a friend.
I could not help but hear how being a servant to the Kingdom was replaced with being a service to the church, as a parking lot attendant, working at the coffee bar, or child care services.
Comfort, entertainment, and convenience is the broad path to destruction. Thank you for sharing!
I used to be a member there………
This teaching is one for the archives. My grand and great will get to hear this one as they are being taught.
Malachi in modern day!! These churches, and especially the pastors (or wolves in sheep's clothing) are not going to be dancin and singing when the judgment of God falls on them. And because they are leaders, their judgment will be heavier.....how does this not register with them?!! They truly have absolutely NO FEAR OF GOD! Man, what a scary place to be! The people also will be held accountable for knowing what was expected by God and not doing it.
Lord, God of all....I humbly bow my head and my heart in much thanks and gratitude for the Spirit you have given to reveal the peddlers of darkness. I am grateful that you have blessed me with a discerning heart, mind and spirit to your holiness that I am not taken in as others are. I pray for those in these churches that have the unction by the Holy Spirit that something just isnt right and they would be obedient to walk out and take others with them. Give them a heart for holiness and the eyes to see that what's before them aint it. Call out your people, Lord....give them the ears to hear. In Jesus name.
you are so right..................give us the Gospel, give us the Bible
The reverence and the Holiness of God have not been taught at many churches today. God is Holy, and we, the church, should recognize that always. The pulpit is also holy and should be respected, too.
My family who is non church going came to my daughter's baptism. They were delighted that we don't have a lot. And that we sing loud and not very well. But we sing to God. All glory is to Him. We make it work. My 9 year old plays the piano somstimes. She only knows Kumbaya by heart and you know what? That is okay. We love eachother and worship God. We have everything we need. Praise be to God.
Oh we so have two fancy things: we are getting name tags and matching shirts! There are maybe 30 of us. Praise the Lord!
Love this!
Sounds wonderful and beautiful
🙌🏼
Praise God
Amen. Hallelujah
It's so sad and heartbreaking as to what is going on in these churches
"I don sold everything but booty" , naaaasty...my question is why did he feel the need to make that statement? 🤔
I question if you talk like he did are you truly born again? Shocking way for a so called pastor to talk!
He's clearly not born again. Desecrating God's word and communion. This is satanic.
Hey guys, please pray for me. That I may respond to the truth of the gospel. It seems like I know the truth, but I need a heart of flesh to respond.
I just prayed for you, that God will touch and open your heart, and that you will come to really know that Jesus loves you! He died for our sins, rose again on the 3rd day, sits on the right hand of God, and he is coming back.
You don't have to be eloquent, but PRAY. It may come out awkward. It may feel strange, and you'll probably feel self-conscious. Still, pray. Don't look for the "right" words. Just speak from your heart. Just start there, where you are. God sees you. He is listening, 🙏🏾and He loves you!
In John 14:6, "Jesus answered, 'I am the Way and the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Psalms 34:4: "I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears."
I usually dont watch these types of channels. But, I appreciate the way you present things.
THE CHURCH THESE DAYS ARE A CIRCUS ENTERTAINING THE GOATS
Why can’t we stop calling these man made social clubs as churches. They don’t resemble the church as in the New Testament. The one Jesus created with 12 ordained men as his representatives, preaching and baptizing every kindred, nation, tongues and people. Y’all need to pray to find the original church.
That is a quote from the great Charles Spurgeon. Even back in his day, churches were a lot like what is shown in this video. It was called the Downgrade Controversary. Sure seems like nothing has changed in churches since back in his day.
@@daledickerson-r9u I think it’s worse now. I grew up in a time with all churches except the Catholic Church believing in being born again. Complete water, immersion Baptism after Repentance, etc. Now this new generation deny Baptism despite Jesus setting the example and telling us we cannot enter into the kingdom of Heaven without being Baptized by water and of the Spirit.
It use to be the Godhead as written in the Bible. Now it’s the created man made ideology and false interpretation that its the trinity because it makes sense to the carnal mind perpetrated by a philosopher who came up with that idea. Meanwhile they have changed and corrupted the things of God written
in the Bible to make it make sense to the flesh.
The devil is very cunning and crafty, deceiving the masses leading many astray.
You sound like you know your Bible very well and are Biblically sound! And Jesus said the world (which, sadly, includes the church) will get more and more worse as we approach closer to the last days.
@@daledickerson-r9u Yes…we are indeed in the last days of the last days and satan is working overtime and many are willingly going his way by not following sound doctrine. God’s warnings of the enemy is being ignored by the masses and it’s sad. They are more leaning unto their own understanding rather than going to God through prayer and fasting to be blessed with correct interpretation and understanding.
Most don’t even realize that there is over 40,000 different churches and 1,000 different versions of the Bible and they accept them all. Good does things in order and he never gave us anything to confuse us. It’s 1 Lord, 1 Faith and 1 Baptism.
Satan’s weapon of mass destruction are his lies and his targets are our minds. God says to be carnally minded is death and to be spiritually minded is peace and life.
Thank God for this message, and may He bless the Messenger.
I don’t want to go to church to be entertained or be prophe-lied to!!! I want to learn more about righteousness and Holy living! Strobe lights and carnival acts DO NOT belong in any church!
You brought sound doctrine in this video. Thank you. The Word Of God Taught By The Spirit Of God , Equips the Man Of God To Do The Will Of God.
I recommend 'The Awe Of God' a book by John Bevere. It really highlights Holy fear and not treating God as anything less than Holy.
Keep doing GOD'S work, my brother. The truth has to get out. Be blessed sir as you seek to encourage, emphasize, and rebuke.
Yeah if I went to any of these churches I would get up and walk out 😡😤
thank you for this post. THANK GOD I'm Catholic!!! I'm so happy that the church is slowly returning to the more holy Tradional Latin MASS and the movement is being led by the young people!!! who are looking for more holiness.
I believe so much of this started with the youth groups back in the 80’s-early 90’s. I remember then trying to find one for my boys that didn’t involve trips to six flags, pizza eating contests, over nighters with the latest bands there. Anything to “entertain” the kids. My thoughts then were that they should be taught services of love to the community and how to witness salvation to those they helped.….get people saved AND THEN bring them to church. Church isn’t a hospital for the sinner. It’s a place for the BELIEVERS-THE BRIDE to worship the Lord and be fed and strengthened to go out that week and witness for ourselves. We are encouraged to invite our neighbors and sinners to church for the numbers. Then the message is then softened to keep them and they aren’t vetted before they are put to work using their so call “gifts”. They “think” they are saved at best…. Sneaking into the body for evil practices at worse.
1000% WRONG. Church is exactly a hospital for sinners. Sanctimonious, holier-than-thou attitudes like yours do a lot to turn people off.
If you want a very respectful Church where to worship God, go to a Catholic, Ortodox or Coptic Church.
Wretched Radio was what helped me become discerning of false teachers. Still a great channel. Todd was a former comedian and still a great personality for his job. Give him more than a minute if his style isn’t your first choice. He is solid.
You are absolutely correct brother Cory! We are living in the days of 2nd Timothy 4:3-4! We are living in a time when people reject sound doctrine. And instead, they are getting preachers who preach according to their own lusts. They are rejecting the truth and believing myths!
True they reject the KJV and they embrace the ESV
@azz2203 not liking the KJV is not a sin!
GOD ISN'T PLAYING WITH US & WE ALL WILL HAVE OUR PORTION OF OUR CUP,,,AMEN 🙏
Absolutely Spot On Brother! Keep them coming! :)
Thank you for telling the truth. HIS truth!
Churches that have 2 and 3 services on Sunday Morning, (No alter call between services, for prayer for invitation for salvation) No Sunday Night Service for people who work on Sunday mornings. What, do they think people are supposed to quit their job to go to church?
Other churches only have Service Sunday Morning but they don't have a midweek service or bibles study.
Or Saturdays.
@RamirDelgadoactor Saturday evenings are ok but, still no the same as Sunday night. Sorry, just not the same.
@@JohnMChew Why?
@ I was saved on a Sunday night service, 37 years ago

I may have to share this video with our small group. It is truly outstanding and I’m sure it will foster great conversation and examination of what we are doing. This is a very good video. It needs to go viral.
☦️ I am an Orthodox Christian… who was Catholic and became Protestant for a few years… I am glad to have come across your channel to see , to come to the knowledge of the level of apostasy in America ….is off the charts…. I have been going to the Christian Orthodox Church since 2011, and had no clue of the level of heresy and apostasy that has occurred over the past 13 years…. ☦️
This principle works in most institutions. If you don't check bad behavior, it will get worse.
This is so true. Some people have a hard time setting boundaries on bad behaviors. And always gets worse and some people get hurt.
The HR speak is "culture"
Amen wondeeful video Praise God keep up the good works for Christ
Didn't see any true pastors, teachers, or real churches in this video. I used to listen to steven heretic(furtick), smiling joel (osteen), and td snakes (jakes), but thanks to GOD THE ALMIGHTY SAVIOR who quickly revealed to me that they were fakes i left them in the past very fast!! Please open the eyes of the blind LORD. TGBTG4EVER (TO GOD BE THE GLORY 4EVER) 💯 🙏
I’m loving this Bible teaching!
These aren’t churches of GOD. But, they Are 100% churches of god.
If anyone does not get the reference, the Capital G-O-D stands for Yahweh. Meanwhile the lowercase g-o-d means Satan.
Thank you for this video, backing up with scripture to teach the only truth that matters. God is Sovereign and Holy, His ways are above our ways and His word is pure.
You are 100% correct
2nd Timothy 3:1-5 starts out "There will be terrible times in the last days" read it for yourself. My heart gets so heavy. I hope you're prepared. Christs forgiveness is easy. No matter what, God can save... Jesus, even so, there are so many lost in this world come. Amen
This Is Why The Old Testament Should Never Be Avoided!
Hello Corey
I am aghast and appalled by what is going on in the 'church'. The fear of God has bypassed these people and I cannot understand how they can feel comfortable saying and doing what they are doing.
May God continue to bless yoh and your family. I thank my Lord for you and wisdom you show with each h message

The Lord Will Judge Every Wicked,Evil, word and deed done!! Every misconception presented in Error INTENTIONALLY!! Sad Sad Sad!! 😤😤😤😡😡😡😩😩😩😮😮
Thank you for always being solid.
I dont go to church where i live and being raised in church. Every Sunday is hard for me
The leadership here WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
If the chief goal of a given church is to put on a show, it has lost its purpose.
I preached on 2 Timothy 4:1-8 a few weeks ago. It was a difficult task that brought up grief about the state of the church
It's hard for me to look at some of this without laughing because it's just so unbelievable. It's wild.
There’s nothing remotely funny about it.
Amen, circuses act 🎪 🤡
I agree with what you are saying. Why do some of these ministers think we want children and adults to entertain us. We come to church is to hear the truth taught to us, rather they are reading the gospel of Jesus Christ to us, or teaching us the old testament. We desire and need to hear the taught to us. God’s words are daily spiritual food. Man can not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceed out of the word of God. Yes, we need to continue hear teaching on sin from our preachers and teach ourselves.
I'm going to post this here. The most scariest verse of the Bible to me is Acts 5:1-11. The Holy Spirit is not to be played with.
Thank you! Really enjoyed this video and felt affirmed by it.
Thank you for your clarity.
Preach on my brother God bless
Good content. Thank you!
One speaker in an evangelical church I used to attend was promoting Taylor Swift and her song lyrics! There is no mention of sin and repentance and it has become very showy. Thank you for your video that hopefully opens people's eyes to the deceit that is being promoted in the pulpits these days
