I remember when people were so scared to even walk pass the church with a beer or smoking a cigarette. Now they drink and smoke in the church. Evil is now the good. So sad.
Even in Baltimore city when i was homeless and addicted before i was saved and set free Most of the dealers and junkies would not congregate or sell drugs or use drugs on the church block
@user-el3sh1xh3t No...I don't go to the Church of Jesus Christ of Nazareth; I was born into it when I repented of my sins and accepted Jesus Christ of Nazareth in my heart, and strive daily to live Holy before Him!
All that meant was not to preach, the letter of the Law but anything other than grace was another gospel. Jesus was all about grace, not imputed the punishment on us, because Jesus took it for us, if we really understood this we will be less judging and more loving and leave judgement for God. We deserve the wrath of God for our imperfect sinful life, but Jesus took all the warth and sin upon him self. Jesus didn't even condemn the world, but while were still sinners Christ died for us, even while we were far from him. Christians are imperfect beings, but yet our position in Christ is by what he made us, not of our selves, truly knowing this, ought to cause us to pray for others not look of their sins and behaviour. When the Pharisees came to judge the woman who was caught in adultery, they only came to accuse, yet we don't see that from Jesus, his reply was let him without sin cast the first stone, he told her not to sin again, but without condemning her, she left knowing she was loved with her dignity intact. There is only one type of person Jesus judges and only one type i have the right to judge and that is the Pharisees, yet even then as let by the Spirit.
Jesus will come back and Judge the earth, but for now were living in the acceptable year of the Lord, a time of grace for the world to get saved, then the Judgement. Note: Jesus was handed the scroll which spoke of him & handed it back to the attendant saying this is fulfilled in your hearing, But he Finnished it just before the comma , the rest talks about the judgement, He closed the book just giving us the part about the acceptable year and so pasters ougth to close it there also, because for now were in that time of grace the acceptable year of the lord, so lets not judge, check it for you self, thats where he closed the book, but there was a comma and more written. So let's leave that for him (or are we trying to do his job before the time?) and that's for the unsaved who refuse to turn from their ways, it's not talking about believers. It's true we have to judge ourselves otherwise sooner or later God Will, yet this shorten our lives, but we will go to heaven sooner, it does not take away our salvation our position remains. If grace is based on behaviour then its not grace it would be about our own righteousness, but we are the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus, Not of our selves Lest any man boast, It A Gift. If it Cost Jesus his very life and cost God his only son, do you really think he would allow us to lose our lives over behaviour of our flesh, certainly not, yet that's not a licence to sin either. Paul was accused of this, because he preached it sooo strongly. Where sin abounds, Grace Super Abounds (hyper perisimo - greek) not sure if i spelt right. And because he preached it soo strongly just like today they accused him of saying its ok to sin, which was far from the truth, so he then had to make it clear he's not justifying sin. The point is to be gracious with each other, if were shown grace, we can show grace also.
Galatians 1:8-9, where Paul states: "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God's curse!

Amen Marlon. We need to call them man made church or satan’s church. They don’t have no correlation to The Church of Jesus Christ as written in the New Testament.
Amen! People have lost the fear of God! Thank God for the few courageous Preachers who stand on the Word of God, don’t tolerate nor allow anyone to hold a position in the church if you’re willfully practicing sin! I salute those who do not bend! ❤️
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.
I'm disappointed, devastated, & hurt. We don't fear God any more . The bible said my house be called the house of prayer. That's why Jesus whipped them out of the temple. Evangelist Jimmy Swagart said If your church ain't preaching Holiness you need to get out of that church & find you a church that preaches true Holiness & truly living, trusting & believing in the word of Jesus Christ & truly ready for the Lord's return.
Just because an organization calls themselves a church, doesn’t mean they are. We should be no more concerned with them or bestow upon them any expectation than that we would for a nightclub or a bowling alley.
I’m from Detroit and I moved to Indiana about 3 years ago and I was seeking a Church home so I visited a Popular mega church and the place was packed, and first thing I discerned was the Praise team so Worldly so I continued to sit, and when the pastor came out I thought that I was at a comedy show, My heart was so broken that I repented for being there.I believe God wants certain ones to see just what they have become🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
The question is why is this escalating so fast there is something wrong in the spiritual realm because I've never seen it on this level. I think a know why this is happening and I believe it's going to get worst. I wonder what is inside of people bodies that's changing them and more will change.
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.

Wow. Just wow. I’m so blessed for my Pastor who speaks the truth and is not afraid to say it, no matter how convicting. If it’s in the Bible, then God’s word stays. It’s hard to find a true to the book Bible-following Christian church, male pastor, verse by verse. Thank you, Jesus, for sending me to such a wonderful community of believers. 🙏🏻
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.
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.
I have problems with churches who praise the pastor as much as they do God this man right here is awesome and a great advocate for the Lord almighty God bless you brother
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.
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!"
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
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.
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.
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.
It's sad because there is no desire for holiness or growing in his nature and no regards for sound biblical doctrine. Thanks Corey. It's always a blessed to hear from you. God bless.
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..
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.
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!
Im reaching out to my pastor right now and going to tell him how much i appreciate him. He keeps it in the word, teaches in the word and keeps it in holiness. We dont have smoke machines, lights, and gimmicks. Maybe its boring, but when the holy ghost moves there is no other place id rather be. Thank you pastor! Praise God for sound doctine and a true man of God.
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.
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.
Thank you for sharing this information. It is hard to find a church home with many of these antics. May the Lord God have mercy on us all. I truly don't understand how they do not fear the Lord God. I do not need nor want a feel good church. I need and want the word of God as it is meant to be preached not adding to or taking away from. Lord Jesus forgive us.
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.
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 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."
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) 💯 🙏
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
Amen! I like this brother’s approach. Much better than some others who try to expose false teachers- like Jordan Riley. While he may be right, needs to tone it down. More like this gentleman here.
This is why the Lord ask us to remain in the teaching of peace also Paul said when he got saved, he didn't go up to the other apostles he went away to be taught the way of God Jesus himself didn't go into ministry until he was thirty years old, we cannot go out before we are sent.
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!
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.
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
Come out from among them and be ye seperare said the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you unto myself, then you will be my sons and daughters said The Lord Almighty.
The most important task churches should be doing now is spreading the Gospel that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was resurrected in victory. All those that believe this will have eternity with God or they will have eternity separated from Him.
I remember when people were so scared to even walk pass the church with a beer or smoking a cigarette. Now they drink and smoke in the church. Evil is now the good. So sad.

Amen you spoke so articulate. God Bless us all, and may we take back the Christian Church back from the blasphemous and wicked.
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.
I have problems with churches who praise the pastor as much as they do God this man right here is awesome and a great advocate for the Lord almighty God bless you brother
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.
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
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
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! 🕊️🕊️🕊️
Well said. Fully agree. All praise to Him who loves us and gave Himself for us!!!
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.
Carnal means….. carnal men! That’s a whole word right there Pastor 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾❣️
Thank God for this message, and may He bless the Messenger.
Thank you for this much needed wake up call for the church.
Thank you so much for this video. It was truly eye opening.
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.
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.
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.
It's sad because there is no desire for holiness or growing in his nature and no regards for sound biblical doctrine. Thanks Corey. It's always a blessed to hear from you. God bless.
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..
It’s sad but a lot of so called Christians are not even close to following Jesus
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.
Thank you for always being solid.
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………
Great video! What was the name of the software being used to view the bilingual english-hebrew scripture at around 2:10?
Thank you, Amen
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.
GOD ISN'T PLAYING WITH US & WE ALL WILL HAVE OUR PORTION OF OUR CUP,,,AMEN 🙏
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✔️
I usually dont watch these types of channels. But, I appreciate the way you present things.
Houston, we have a problem😖
Jesus said, my Father seeks those who will worship HIM in spirit and in truth John 4:23
Jesus Christ the same yesterday today & forever 🙏
Thank you for sharing this
you are so right..................give us the Gospel, give us the Bible
Keep doing GOD'S work, my brother. The truth has to get out. Be blessed sir as you seek to encourage, emphasize, and rebuke.
Thank you for this video.
Thank you! Really enjoyed this video and felt affirmed by it.
Thank you for speaking out !
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.
Im reaching out to my pastor right now and going to tell him how much i appreciate him. He keeps it in the word, teaches in the word and keeps it in holiness. We dont have smoke machines, lights, and gimmicks. Maybe its boring, but when the holy ghost moves there is no other place id rather be. Thank you pastor! Praise God for sound doctine and a true man of God.
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.
Strange days, times when it is all about self over the Holy, Righteous and Majest nature of GOD. Excellent Message brother.
Truth. Amen and thank you Brother.
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
@@JohnMChew Fine. I didn't find God at church
Thank you for sharing this information. It is hard to find a church home with many of these antics. May the Lord God have mercy on us all. I truly don't understand how they do not fear the Lord God. I do not need nor want a feel good church. I need and want the word of God as it is meant to be preached not adding to or taking away from. Lord Jesus forgive us.
Help us LORD
I truly thank God that my Apostle is a true WOG and has integrity
WOG… woman of God? Your apostle is a woman..?
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.
Thank you, sir! 🙇🏻
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
.
Great video! Thank you!
I agree that we must return to holiness,and an accurate understanding of the Holy One.
May GOD HAVE MERCY ON Us
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 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
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
Ohhh. This is good. I appreciate awareness not bashing preachers and churches, just examples. Definitely amazing g singer with a concert.
Thank you for telling the truth. HIS truth!
Thank you for pointing this out
Preach on my brother God bless
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) 💯 🙏
Yeah if I went to any of these churches I would get up and walk out 😡😤
The leadership here WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
Amen 😢this is terrible God is going to judge these false preachers
It's so sad and heartbreaking as to what is going on in these churches
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
Amen! I like this brother’s approach. Much better than some others who try to expose false teachers- like Jordan Riley. While he may be right, needs to tone it down. More like this gentleman here.
This is why the Lord ask us to remain in the teaching of peace also Paul said when he got saved, he didn't go up to the other apostles he went away to be taught the way of God Jesus himself didn't go into ministry until he was thirty years old, we cannot go out before we are sent.
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!
Great job beloved .. Thank you for your due diligence and all glory to our Heavenly Father
🗡️✝️🛡️
Thanks for posting this.
The important thing is to pray for a discerning spirit to be able to see and be guided to where you should or shouldn't fellowship.
You are 100% correct
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.
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
Amen brother!
Come out from among them and be ye seperare said the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing, and I will receive you unto myself, then you will be my sons and daughters said The Lord Almighty.
The Lord Will Judge Every Wicked,Evil, word and deed done!! Every misconception presented in Error INTENTIONALLY!! Sad Sad Sad!! 😤😤😤😡😡😡😩😩😩😮😮
The Great Commission is to go make disciples, not grow membership numbers or gain “converts” that will tithe to fund our huge “worship” shows.
We should not be surprised by what is going on. The Bible says God's spirit is slowly being withdrawn for the earth.
The most important task churches should be doing now is spreading the Gospel that Jesus Christ died for our sins and was resurrected in victory. All those that believe this will have eternity with God or they will have eternity separated from Him.
