This is a TRUE PREACHER who is unashamed of the actual gospel of Jesus Christ! Thank God for his life and boldness! He's one of the greatest John the Baptist of our time and few come close!! Stay encouraged pastor we need you 🙏
OMGOODNESS, it's a wonder that anyone could stand after this Holy Spirit teaching and heart & soul outcry to our God! Thank you God for this Word, Your Word. Make us vessels who live Your heart towards humanity.
This sermon will certainly be passed on. This sermon will be archived for later distribution. This is a perfect message for those who desire to serve two masters and believe they have a right standing before God. This message was for me!! Thank you.
I’m guilty guilty guilty I took my eyes off Jesus Christ in 2020 and thought Trump was the United States savior and got so caught up in politics and then when Trump lost oh boy I learned quickly I had replaced Jesus for Trump and when I awoke out of my slumber and idolatry for a man I was ashamed of myself. I don’t do politics anymore I vote and stay in pray reading and listening to good preachers like this and I have my peace back
If this message doesn't convict you, you may want to examine yourself, whether you be 'in the faith' or not. I'm so so sick of this world, but...I HAVE A PROMISE, from the LORD HIMSELF, that He WILL return!!!! Let us, of the true faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, THROW off the remnants of this dead life, and walk in the TRUTH of God's Word! Let us 'put on' the garment of praise, and submit this flesh to our 'cross', and DIE to this world!!! THIS world is NOT our home, so let's start ACTING like it! Praise God!
BRO. LIVINGSTON ; THANK GOD FOR YOUR COURAGE TO STAND FOR THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HAVING DONE ALL TO STAND , STAND THEREFORE WITH YOUR LOINS GIRD ABOUT WITH THE TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 3rd JOHN 1: 4-------I HAVE NO GREATOR JOY THAN TO HEAR THAT MY CHILDREN WALK IN TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!! A LOT OF CHRISTIANS ARE BACKING UP ON GOD , HIS WORD AND TRUTH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is what preaching used to be like in the Southern Baptist Convention. Then churches invited in the world and we see what happened. Jesus told us to not be of the world, but we ignored him.
People pick and choose only what seems beneficial to them rarely paying attention to the what if's. They're like popcorn in a microvave, wanting the benefits of God without the work and oftentimes the things they desire are not meant for them right away or at all. COMPROMISE will get you into serious trouble. I've got too much to lose in God and as for me and my house we will serve the Lord!
A smart, courageous, well balanced, successful and spiritual white Christ loving and people serving pastor, name John Pavlovitz wrote this to his "white" evangelical community. Couldnt help but re-post it from his sight: "From Christian pastor John Pavlovitz: “Dear White Evangelicals, I need to tell you something: People have had it with you. They’re done. They want nothing to do with you any longer, and here’s why: They see your hypocrisy, your inconsistency, your incredibly selective mercy, and your thinly veiled supremacy. For eight years they watched you relentlessly demonize a black President; a man faithfully married for 26 years; a doting father and husband without a hint of moral scandal or the slightest whiff of infidelity. They watched you deny his personal faith convictions, argue his birthplace, and assail his character-all without cause or evidence. They saw you brandish Scriptures to malign him and use the laziest of racial stereotypes in criticizing him. And through it all, White Evangelicals-you never once suggested that God placed him where he was, you never publicly offered prayers for him and his family, you never welcomed him to your Christian Universities, you never gave him the benefit of the doubt in any instance, you never spoke of offering him forgiveness or mercy, your evangelists never publicly thanked God for his leadership, your pastors never took to the pulpit to offer solidarity with him, you never made any effort to affirm his humanity or show the love of Jesus to him in any quantifiable measure. You violently opposed him at every single turn-without offering a single ounce of the grace you claim as the heart of your faith tradition. You jettisoned Jesus as you dispensed damnation on him. And yet you give carte blanche to a white Republican man so riddled with depravity, so littered with extramarital affairs, so unapologetically vile, with such a vast resume of moral filth-that the mind boggles. And the change in you is unmistakable. It has been an astonishing conversion to behold: a being born again. With him, you suddenly find religion. With him, you’re now willing to offer full absolution. With him, all is forgiven without repentance or admission. With him you’re suddenly able to see some invisible, deeply buried heart. With him, sin has become unimportant, compassion no longer a requirement. With him, you see only Providence. And White Evangelicals, all those people who have had it with you-they see it all clearly. They recognize the toxic source of your inconsistency. They see that pigmentation and party are your sole deities. They see that you aren’t interested in perpetuating the love of God or emulating the heart of Jesus. They see that you aren’t burdened to love the least, or to be agents of compassion, or to care for your Muslim, gay, African, female, or poor neighbors as yourself. They see that all you’re really interested in doing, is making a God in your own ivory image and demanding that the world bow down to it. They recognize this all about white, Republican Jesus-not dark-skinned Jesus of Nazareth. And I know you don’t realize it, but you’re digging your own grave in these days; the grave of your very faith tradition. Your willingness to align yourself with cruelty is a costly marriage. Yes, you’ve gained a Supreme Court seat, a few months with the Presidency as a mouthpiece, and the cheap high of temporary power-but you’ve lost a whole lot more. You’ve lost an audience with millions of wise, decent, good-hearted, faithful people with eyes to see this ugliness. You’ve lost any moral high ground or spiritual authority with a generation. You’ve lost any semblance of Christlikeness. You’ve lost the plot. And most of all you’ve lost your soul. I know it’s likely you’ll dismiss these words. The fact that you’ve even made your bed with such malevolence, shows how far gone you are and how insulated you are from the reality in front of you. But I had to at least try to reach you. It’s what Jesus would do.” John Pavlovitz
In 2016, I didn't trust the "who" with the "what", so I did a write-in. By 2020, I voted the "what" over the "who". Buckle our seatbelts people of God when the administration changes hands.
All sins hold the same weight. Murder is just a bad as lying. So why are you trying to force more weight on abortion as if it’s the ultimate grand sin of all sins. If you steal a piece of gum from the store it’s the same sin as killing a innocent bystander.
It is quite dangerous to use the word of God to try to convict people of voting a certain way. This was a Trump support rally under the guise of a sermon. It is God's prerogative to determine who is saved or not. Read James 4. Also, using his logic that a person is aiding and abetting abortion, etc by voting democrat, would mean that God is aiding and abetting. The fact of the matter is that God gives us the choice to commit abortion or not. God is a God of choices. He says choose one way or the other. He doesn't take the choice or ability to choose away. And for this preacher to say we don't have a race problem and so he won't talk about the injustice of black men being murdered by cops is just anti Christ.
David L agreed, well said. this was a Trump Rally not a Gospel sermon. I've listened to Loran for many years, but I won't anymore. Loran does not have the keys to heaven or hell, he is human. The injustices in society are not new. Christ is our deliverer, not Trump nor Biden. All preachers should preach "Christ" not their personal political views.
Did he say that? never had a chance to get arrested!? ... Like that is a prestigious road to pursue for little black unborn babies to have hoped for.... Unborn baby: " mama don't kill me, I'll never have the chance to be arrested on the tv show cops" Mama: I always hoped you were gonna make your mother a proud statistic.
@@777buttafly intention was good true but this is his natural thought of your skin color.... black equals criminal....he may not mean to think that way but that's what most whites think....and his wording is proof of his thinking........ Even the Bible says out of the abundance of your heart the mouth speaks....He spoke
The greatest courageous preacher in our generation. What a honor and humbled.
This is a TRUE PREACHER who is unashamed of the actual gospel of Jesus Christ! Thank God for his life and boldness! He's one of the greatest John the Baptist of our time and few come close!! Stay encouraged pastor we need you 🙏
Thank you for serving and teaching the true gospel of Jesus Christ!!!
Please JESUS, bring back these preachers into our churches globally.
These are the messages that bring true repentance.
Ever since I found pastor, Loran is one of my favorite preachers. May the Lord bless him and his congregation!
This needs to be preached from every pulpit....powerful!!!
THIS IS THE KIND OF PREACHERS WE NEED IN THESE LAST DAYS..A TRUE MAN OF GOD, OVERFLOWING WITH WISDOM AND FILLED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT!
Amen and Amen 🙏🙏🙌🙌🙌
BLESS THIS MAN HE A MAN OF GOD THANKS JESUS
I enjoyed this message so much! Keep being bold and strong, Pastor Livingston!

This should be play on all channel of the internet for everyone to wake up and learn a bout GOD Law
Thank you brother for your boldness and telling the Word, the truth.
OMGOODNESS, it's a wonder that anyone could stand after this Holy Spirit teaching and heart & soul outcry to our God! Thank you God for this Word, Your Word. Make us vessels who live Your heart towards humanity.
Jesus, I'm lost without you.

This preacher is a God preacher, not a people pleasing feel good preacher. I love the boldness and the authority of this man!
Pastor Livingston is no joke!

Even MORE relevant today.

This is so good!
The scripture says offense will come but woe to him who causes the offence and they are strengthening the hands of evil doer's.
Amen!! Amen!!!
You preach it brother!
Amen

TEACH & PREACH!!
In 2016, I didn't trust the "who" with the "what", so I did a write-in. By 2020, I voted the "what" over the "who". Buckle our seatbelts people of God when the administration changes hands.
❤
Preach...preacher
Amen, preach it
Amen!!!! 🙌
AMEN...............
A drink of living water.
Why is this in my feed???
So tired of politics and church keep them separate, This is why I believe in separation of church and state, Preach Christ and his love and hush
You are gonna be mad when Jesus Christ comes to establish his kingdom on earth.
@Joel Mekete I didnt say that
Like Locke says, "it's not a skin issue, it's a sin issue."
Is that the TRUTH I hear.
Deep
So I can’t be a real Christian and a democrat at the same time. Got it.
U preach that but does this also include unarmed black men?
