      I love Eric! His voice of courage, truth and moral clarity is desperately needed in our time. Pray for him daily and call out to God for a fearless first love passion for Christ. To the American Church-let us walk away from the lifestyle and possessions we prayed God to bless us with. Our love of "stuff" has made us slaves to the world and its system and diluted our love of God and His Kingdom of Freedom.

    I've served 32 years of exemplary service for the US Dep of Defense, and my career, retirement, health benefits, etc are STILL on the line for declining to comply to the mandates. There are more than just shot mandates to stand against at the DOD right now. I've also tried to file EEO complaints because they're pushing their "woke & LGBTQ" agenda during mandatory trainings, etc. It's an absolute NIGHTMARE. I still struggle to fully comprehend we are in this serious of a situation in America. Even our EEO office has been infiltrated by the enemy, and my EEO complaints were literally scoffed at. This is NOT how the DOD was for my previous 30 years of service. We are in W A R, and when the majority of Americans wake up to that fact, and stand against it, we will win, but until then, it's just random nobody people like me trying to hold my Born Again Christian ground to not roll over and comply. The intimidation, threats, coercion, etc have been unimaginable. I ask the Lord daily to remove the veil of deceit from they minds and hearts of the masses :( I am extremely grateful to all those speaking TRUTH in these dangerous days. Thank you both very much! May the Lord bless and protect you.

      Don't worry! We will pray for you and the Lord will do the impossible. There is no freedom under the current administration. I feel so devastated about the vaccine mandate in some states. I live in Maryland and the mandate is very strict. We can't work if we don't have the vaccines. Even hospitals don't want to operate on kidney transplant patients unless they have the vaccine. My son has complied with all the testing for a possible kidney transplant but he does not want to have the vaccine, he is afraid of the side effects for his condition and he is very careful with protocols. He takes care of himself, but the transplant team at UMM do not want to put him on the transplant list unless he has the vaccine. He is not allowed to have a transplant because of the vac. I don't know what to do, my only option is to move to a red state. We are praying about it. I feel that there are no rights any more in America. I never thought we would be in this situation in in this country. It is kind of like Nazi Germany with Hitler. We are praying more than ever now.

      Obviously, they're both false prophets of the Devil Trump. They don't preach the truth or scripture. They preach Trump and QNUTISMS! They are evil through and through. Reject them and Trump or be rejected by Jesus!Matthew 7:21 “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 On that day many will say to me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in your name, and do many mighty works in your name?’ 23 And then will I declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from me, you workers of lawlessness.’ It takes no courage to lie and be to tool of the man of lawlessness, it takes extreme delusion by Satan! God does not bless evil doers!

    I love this video! Thank you Beckett for hosting this. I recently visited my daughter in Florida, who now identifies as a lesbian, ( after being married to a man and having two children). I witnessed to her about Jesus. She still digs in and doesn’t receive it it because the world tells her she is awesome. I came in love and even gave her “partner” a water color that I painted for her specifically. She was overjoyed to have it. We recently emailed each other and I gave my testimony to her. She might not receive it either but I’m not shutting up! I come in love, compassion and humility. I DO NOT want to face God and Him say, “ Why didn’t you say anything?”

      @Deston Swan "Jesus never said anything about hating lesbians."
      Neither did C B. The whole post is obviously about her love for her daughter (and her daughter's partner). Apparently, those two know the difference even if you don't. "If you love me, you will cheer me on as I jump off this cliff."

    • @digitalnomad9985
      @digitalnomad9985 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @Deston Swan "No one said anything about jumping off a cliff or harming anyone."
      I did. It's a metaphor. I believe you understood it.
      "A relationship between consenting adults does not have any affect on you or anyone else."
      Inherently, and as far as I know, it only adversely effects the parties involved. Mind you, it is nobody else's civil business in the sense that none should use force or law to interfere as long as they aren't hurting anyone else, of course. It is dangerous to give government that sort of power. That it consequently cannot be wrong DOES NOT FOLLOW. That chronic unrepented sin can separate one from salvation is a clear teaching of the Bible.
      "I happen to know that if Jesus were alive today he would agree with me;"
      You don't know Jesus from jelly. Matt 5:17, 18 "Do not think that I have come to destroy the Law or the Prophets. I have not come to destroy but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, Till the heaven and the earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any way pass from the law until all is fulfilled."

    We're blessed to go to a church that has a pastor that speaks truth. And he's becoming more and more outspoken from the pulpit about issues of culture and worldview. The whole new testament is about the gospel applied. Once our butt is in a pew and we're saying this is our lifestyle choice, Jesus is King then we better start thinking about how to now apply His Kingship in our lives. That's called worldview and it effects culture. And we're not salt and light if we're not applying it. Thank you, Eric and Becket. You're both true shepherds.
    Also, I think it was Alistair Begg that said, "what you lead them with you lead them to"
    Meaning if you never speak hard truths to unbelievers when they do get drawn into a "faith experience" it'll be an immature one and maybe not even a true conversion.

      She is being rejected for being a supporter of Trump and thinking her way is the best and only way! When you stand with Trump, you have no moral standing! a vote is a form of prayer and commitment. When the church marked their ballots, hearts, minds and soul, they received one of Trump's demons of delusion! His life is full of his number 666!
      Way before Trump was running for President on Jan. 13, 2014, Trump tweeted: "I consider myself too perfect and have no faults.” On August 21, 2019, Trump fulfilled scripture when he revealed himself as a false Christ, when tweeted he is the "King of Israel" and the "second coming of God." Later the same day Trump announced, "I Am the Chosen One!" as he looked mockingly up to the heavens. The Bible predicts that the Antichrist ("the man of sin") will claim to be God (I Am) and thus the true King of Israel in 2 Thessalonians 2:3-10 3 “No one is to deceive you in any way! For it will not come unless the apostasy comes first, and the man of lawlessness is revealed, the son of destruction, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, displaying himself as being God. 5 Do you not remember that while I was still with you, I was telling you these things? 6 And you know what restrains him now, so that he will be revealed in his time. 7 For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is removed. 8 Then that lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will eliminate with the breath of His mouth and bring to an end by the appearance of His coming; 9 that is, the one whose coming is in accord with the activity of Satan, with all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all the deception of wickedness for those who perish, because they did not accept the love of the truth so as to be saved.”
      On June 25, 2020, Trump called himself a "perfect person". Trump retweeted "the greatest President for Jews and for Israel in the history of the world," that "the Jewish people in Israel love him like he's the King of Israel" and even that "They love him like he is the second coming of God."
      In 1998 which can be summed 666 + 666 + 666, the construction of the Trump World Tower began, with money coming from Russia. The letters FOX has sixes. F is the 6th letter of the alphabet. O is the 15 or 1+ 5=6. X is the 24th or 2=4=6. FOX equals 666. Amazingly, Jesus refers to the station in the New Testament warning us in Matthew 13:32 (1332=666+666) “But Jesus replied, “Go tell that fox, ‘Look, I will keep driving out demons and healing. today and tomorrow, and on the third day I will reach My goal.’ “ Trump said “Military Parade would cost 12 million, however the Pentagon said Trump’s military parade would cost $80 million more, an increase of 666%, because 80 divided by 12 is 666%.

    Yep, I believe Metaxas is correct in saying that more people will come to the churches if they hear the truth because it happened to me. I grew up Catholic, fell away, and have now gone back to Catholicism and I found an Othodox Catholic Church where the priests speak about the truth in a way that is loving and well thought-out. My son has joined me :).

      It is good that the Priest is speaking out. Sadly overall the Catholic Church is a false religion. I left 38 years ago and have learned so much more of how it is a man made religion. The Catholics claim they gave us the Bible but that is wrong. The book of Acts is the beginning of the church of Christ. Thankfully we can go to the Bible to check for the truth. Jesus said if you hold to my teaching you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. John 8:32

    Thank you Becket and Eric! I completely agree with you. We are the church and we have to be bold when discussing these issues. My adult son came out to me as transgender 2 years ago. He is not a Christian. I would only add to this discussion by saying that people that are diagnosed with gender dysphoria are in pain and very often suicidal. Much of their activism is because of their pain. We do have to be compassionate and empathetic when we are talking with them about God and his plan for them. We are asking them to live with their gender dysphoria for the rest of their lives and not transition. Sometimes God may take away the dysphoria, but sometimes not. It may always be a thorn in their side. But, they will have God's peace and comfort.

    That is soooo good, saying that God's judgement is a call to wake up. It's so true! He is saying hey, you aren't living up to the call for which you have been chosen. Wake up! Do the thing you were called to do, I will be with you. He is with us when we stand for and live according to His word. His word is life and a protection for His people.

      It is full of lies and delusions of the Devil Trump! Then, there is the signing and blasphemous degradation of God’s most Holy book the Bible. Trump thinks it is okay to berate and put down what Christ taught. He also has no respect for our flag. Our flag is to fly free unencumbered and touched only with white gloves, solemnly and with respect, as needed. It is not to be molested by the President, like one of his cheap affairs, with porn stars or Playboy Bunnies.
      Trump scribbled his ineligible and black signature across the front, like he was God himself and the lost Christians of America cheered him on. Made me sick to watch and I am sure God’s wrath was inflamed again against Christians, who were deceived by the promise of stopping abortion, by compromising all of Christ’s principles to achieve that goal. No biggie, they had to sell their soul for a promise that is not their business, and Trump did not deliver on, especially while they have pedophile priests, adulterous preachers, and sinning the greatest sin, supporting the Devil Trump and turning their back on Jesus. Repent and reject the devil Trump and turnback to Jesus!

    • @patjohnston1644
      @patjohnston1644 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is no Biblical truths in Trump's cult. He is the great deceiver and the American antichrist. No one else raised the dead and healed the sick; sacrificed His life in the most brutal death and withstood horrendous torture, out of love for His creation. This was a pure act of unconditional love. The sun went dark, and the earth shook at the time of His death. He was resurrected and thousands saw him. He was God in the person of Christ, and He did this to change humanity and prove man does not have to sin but chooses to.
      Since, then the church has struggled to emulate Christ. Driven often by the Devil to destroy the church. Even now God is testing the church with Trump, who wants to ignore Trump’s devilish character, because he promises to stop abortion. The devil tried to get Jesus to
      sell out his principles for money and power. Jesus rejected him. Jesus would say to his church, “Turn your back on Trump and his evil ways and worship me. Jesus will give you peace and all of your heart’s pure desires! Most of the church was easily deceived and according to the Bible, Jesus has turned His back on them, because they support the Man of Lawlessness Trump.
      My challenge to Trump worshipers is to read the New Testament from John to Revelation. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide you. The good news is God does not legislate salvation. It is our choice whether to be saved or lost, who we marry, whether we steal or murder, commit adultery or even abort a child. It is our choice to commit good or evil. What consequences we suffer is our punishment or reward. God never forces His children to be saved or perfect. He offers unconditional love and peace. Jesus is always there to pick up the broken pieces and put our life back together again. All we need to do is humble ourselves, know God’s Word and ask for forgiveness, because all have sinned and in need of salvation.
      It is good to note the Day of the Lord is not a twenty-four-hour period of time; rather, it is an extended period of time that includes the seven-year tribulation, the return of Christ to put down all rebellion against Him, the 1,000-year reign of Christ on earth, the final defeat of Satan. Somehow, the church through Trump’s delusion does not understand the rebellion is not just in the secular world, but it is in the church and God is fulfilling His prophecy in Matthew 3:12 “Whose fan is in his hand, and he will thoroughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.”

    Most churches are seeker friendly. It’s about numbers and not offending anyone. The Purpose Driven Life book and their viewpoint made a lot of changes in many churches and not for the good. I remember telling a girlfriend back in 2001 why wasn’t our church speaking truth to people and what sin was. She replied, “We don’t want to offend anyone especially new visitors.” I replied, “It is the Holy Spirit who convicts people to turn from sin.” She was really serious saying we don’t want to offend anyone.

I pray that fear will not silence me but the surity that God's Word is the weapon that bring life and light. Thank you for this podcast.

  • @briancasey4917

    I agree with Eric completely. I'm not a pastor I but have been challenging pastors for years to speak the truth on today's issues. It's as you say most seem to prefer safety of their career, retirement and fear of "being" political. There are a few, like John MacArthur, Doug Wilson, Voddie Bauchman that have the courage but it is far more needed for local Pastors to boldy proclaim what God says about our politic. Or cancell culture will evolve to death camp reality.

    Becket, great show. We love you and we love Eric. I sent an email to Charlie Kirk after the miserable election results here in Phoenix. I'm hoping it'll spark people like Charlie, people that have a voice and relationship with churches here in Arizona to be relevant, to teach their congregations that supporting a candidate that supports what God calls sin is extremely dangerous. It could even mess with their own salvation. Church leaders need desperately to teach what God hates as much as what God loves. I'm meeting more and more people that identify as Christians, even as born again believers that support gay rights and abortion. This is bad. In conversation with these people in learning that their churches either emphasize that it's okay or they're entirely silent about the sins. The political people that lost, here in Arizona, were very vocal about being pro life. I know born again believers that voted against them because they said it was a vote against a person's rights. Our church preaches that abortion is murder. Our pastor even wrote a book, Abort Abortion. Our churches need to preach the word of God. Eric M is spot on.
