  1. Revive us, Lord!!! My father was a "proud agnostic" most of his life. He boasted about his grandfather (8x great) Peregrine White, born on the Mayflower as it docked in Plymouth Harbor, who cared not for the God of his parents and refused to even attend church. As a college student in 1980 I shook off my father's agnosticism through a work of the Holy Spirit drawing me, and surrendered to Christ and soon after became involved in a wonderful Bible Study, the first extra biblical writings we stied was "Sinners in the hand of an angry God" and we were aided in fervor through the music and preaching of Keith Green and Winkey Pratney. I have had very little experience with fervor such as theirs since. We desperately need revival, Lord! Awaken us again! I am committed afresh to fasting and prayer after being reminded of all this through this video!

  2. Wouldn’t it have made more sense to portray a version that he would have used in that day? I do not study all versions but without researching it it seems that you have showed a modern version when showing Deuteronomy 32:35. Why not post a picture of the living Bible or some other version. It gives the impression that modern versions have always been around when in fact the are a relatively recent adoration. Please make it as authentic as you can.

  3. We need such
    Determined pastor who fast and pray constantly. Please pray for me as I have the end time Kingdom message the world needs. I have written a book revealing the greatest mysteries of the Bible. The revelation of 666, time, times and a half Dan 12:7, Interrelation of Bible and science and many many. Pray for me ye Saints of God FOR hell is rising to stop this message from reaching the world.

  4. One of TBD – Groan. Northampton Massachusetts is today the LGBTQ capital of the world for a reason.

    Let's start here:

    "The Pharisees falsified the image of God into an eternal, small-minded bookkeeper whose favor could be won only by the scrupulous observance of laws and regulations. Religion became a tool to intimidate and enslave rather than liberate and empower. Jewish believers were instructed to focus their attention on the secondary aspect of the Sabbath—abstention from work. The joyous celebration of creation and covenant stressed by the prophets disappeared. The Sabbath became a day of legalism. The means had become the end.

    (Herein lies the genius of legalistic religion—making primary matters secondary and secondary matters primary.)

    Concurrently what emerged was a jumble of prohibitions and prescriptions that transformed the Sabbath into a heavy burden leading to nervous scrupulosity—the kind of Sabbath Jesus of Nazareth inveighed against so vehemently."

    From book "Abba's Child "

    Chapter 5, The Pharisee and the Child

    If you don't think this is true, think things through, and you will see that even this secular psychologist understand everything Jesus had warned us about regarding phariseism, See the seven woes:

    "Narcissism, as a disorder, is a struggle for a stable sense of self via outside responses. The narcissist may push himself to impressive performances, strive for admiration or praise by means of his well-honed skills, intellect, perfectionism, etc, but even when he receives what he believes he craves, his contentment is fleeting: in the end, he knows he is praised or liked not for what he is, but for what he does in order to receive.

    The grandiose narcissist strives for perfection in everything he does. He is admired, and admires himself, for his attributes such as intellect, giftedness, beauty, his professional or academic achievements. He is the pride of his family, adored by his friends. But, Miller points out, pride and shame often go hand in hand. A grandiose narcissist may live in great fear of disappointing those who are / should be proud of him, of falling short of his own high standards."

    "In the essay, Miller outlines how early experiences of contempt, when internalized, can later lie at the heart of delusions and perversions. The pervert has embraced this outside contempt of himself so much that he needs to recreate and relive it again and again. Miller argues that therapists are not doing clients a favor in trying to be open-minded and tolerant / blaming the ‘perversion’ on society’s moral views: if the pervert suddenly found himself in a society where his behavior was perfectly acceptable, his problem would not be solved, he would have to find new ways to recreate his internalized disdain in others. Only by recognizing and facing his internalized contempt can he break his pattern."

    See it?

    Internalize self-contempt, often created by narcissistic abuse of religious people, that is parents using their children as their own source of narcissistic supply

  7. The legalism of the Puritans, produce the failure of the Puritans.

    What made sinners in the hands of an angry god work was

    The weeks and months beforehand in which compassionate people prayed for those who they felt needed to be saved.

    Almost everybody looking at the sermon, neglect that component.

    Because they're focused in on the legalism of the Puritans.

    Which abjectly destroyed Northampton Massachusetts and spirituality for generations to come.

    I've been there. Their hearts are as cold as can be. But I suggest that much of that is because the parents, treated such a deep seated inward self-contempt

    They became perverts to cover the overwhelming feelings that are too much for their psyches to deal with.

    The parents produced it.

    And that's the starting point of the kingdom of Christ. John the Baptist telling parents to get their heads out of their… And truly love their children.

  8. Ok – Go to Matthew 25 and look at the parable of the sheep and the goats.

    Most religious people are goats.

    Very few religious people are sheep.

    Those who have come to understand the power structures of this earth beat down and abuse the meek. It is because of that Jesus identifies with them.

    The sheep get very little thought to themselves.

    The goats are very preoccupied with their religiosity.

    I don't mind pissing off the goats. That makes me like Christ.
