      There is no more for heaven now to give
      He is my joy, my righteousness, and freedom
      My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace

      For in my need, His power is displayed
      To this I hold, my Shepherd will defend me
      Through the deepest valley He will lead
      Oh the night has been won, and I shall overcome
      Yet not I, but through Christ in me
      No fate I dread, I know I am forgiven
      The future sure, the price it has been paid
      For Jesus bled and suffered for my pardon
      And He was raised to overthrow the grave
      To this I hold, my sin has been defeated

      Oh the chains are released, I can sing, "I am free"
      Yet not I, but through Christ in me
      With every breath I long to follow Jesus
      For He has said that He will bring me home
      And day by day I know He will renew me
      Until I stand with joy before the throne
      To this I hold, my hope is only Jesus
      All the glory evermore to Him
      When the race is complete, still my lips shall repeat

    I know that this probably isn’t the place to complain about this, however I have something to say on the whole young people want fog machines and stuff. It’s simply not true. I’m a teenager. I will tell for a fact what we want. We want a group of people we can go to that cares about us when the rest of the world doesn’t seem to. Yes things like fog machines are cool, however that doesn’t mean we don’t like the old stuff. If your couches aren’t the newest design we won’t care. We probably won’t even notice. The best way to go about these things is to do both. Have a worship team that does hymns and modern music. Quite a few of us actually like hymns. Have pews and chairs. I don’t see the big deal.
    This leads leads me to Youth pastors. If you’re a younger youth pastor straight from college, chances are that you do have many common interest with kids my age. It wasn’t that long ago when you were one. That’s fine. But then we have these guys that are forty or there about starting to try and act more like teens to be one of group. WE DON’T NEED THAT! Just be yourself. If you feel the need to change your entire personality to be part of the group. Than you are not setting a good example for us. Your supposed to show us how to act. Changing your personality to be cool is not a good example.
    That’s it. I hope someone sees this and understands what l’m saying. Sorry about the rant.
    Thank for these videos! I absolutely love them. God Bless!

      Imagine the apostles firing Jesus xD But the pastor is not Jesus. How to know if he's wrong or if the elder are wrong in firing him? In the Catholic Church, we have many problems, but this we don't. We have what is called apostolic succession. Meaning that once you're blessed and chosen (ordained) by God through the Bishops hands, you are the priest(=spiritual father) . Your spiritual children (=elders) can't decide that you're not their father anymore. If you make mistakes, only those who are in a higher position can impose disciplinary measures. The Church is not a democracy. Let me know if that makes sense or where you don't agree. I'm interested to hear your thoughts. Have a blessed day

You as a pastor are responsible for teaching the whole congregation right. If the same congregation can decide that you're doing your job poorly, two roles are being mixed. The one of being an elder and being a spiritual child. In the catholic church we don't have this problem because we don't have congregation members who are elders. Instead, we have spiritual children (church members) of the priest and a spiritual father of the priest, which is the bishop. Does it make more sense now?

    There was a time when this will be considered blasphemy. Now, its everyday church. Legalistic, manipulative, deceptive, pharisitical church that existed in YASHUAS time. Not even Satire or parody. Its funny because its true. Laughter helps us cope through the spiritual abuse we all have endured.
    Very entertaining.

    Yeah I was quite disappointed to discover that a pastor at a church we used to attend was using messages from LifeChurch and NorthPoint. I always assumed that staff in the office was coming up with the visuals and graphics for the messages. Once we found those sites and started going through the sermon series, it was rather eye opening to say the least.
    We left soon after that and became Anglicans.

    This reminds me of a church we attended once around Clarksville; called Hopewell Baptist.
    After that grueling service of Sunday School with 40 versions of the may pass as a Bible in hell; and a "sermon" on how much money the church takes in...
    I told my wife, this is the perfect name. Hopewell, where hope comes to die at the bottom of a well.
    This whole series could be based on this and churches like it.

    @Kristel1982 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The biggest thing this points out to me is that, you find people that talk behind your back no matter where you go. I'm a Christian but I HAVE found that in church you can find the MOST hypocritical people. I grew up calling them "Sunday Christians" Mon-Sat they talk smack, cast judgment etc. and then on Sunday it's "I'm your best friend, you're safe here". I'm not saying ALL Christians are like that but a lot are. So we don't go to a building to worship, the Bible tells us that "church" is wherever 2 or more gather to worship. We pray, we devote Sundays to HIM we live our lives mon-sun trying to be the best versions of ourselves but we get to avoid the hypocrisy from those who don't try to better themselves through the word.
