If you say you changed your mind... but then you do it anyway... you didn’t change your mind...

are you saying you have to stop doing whatever it was? actually turn from that action? Kinda like Paul preached about repentance unto salvation?

Repentance actually comes from God......and Godly sorrow leads to it. Sometimes I think those two get confused together in conversation. It can take a season of Godly sorrow and confessing to the Lord before He grants repentance and freedom from bondage...it's not always instant and can involve some persistence and battling.

Just to be clear, I’m not talking about a time when you stumble and you get back up. I’m talking about people who say they’ve repented but have nothing to show for it.

How true it is , Tis why that man got rebuked on worthy for preaching that new evangelism . you seen what he said , we all seen it . Just more of the mumbo jumbo lets all hold handso stuff . UHHHHH NO . ITS JESUS FIRST , the gospel first , sound doctrine first , in fact paul said they should have unity and to mark any one who teaches contrary to what , SOUND DOCTRINE . exactly . Let us call on the Lord with others who love Him IN SPIRIT and TRUTH .

They can call it global warming , they can call it climate change . But all one has to do , is look at the world and the dire shaking of the fist at GOD and then remember who controls the weather . THEN it becomes quite obvious , ITS JUDGEMENT ON THE LAND .

Thanks for the video, I got about 58 mins. I still need to finish.... but wow...they treat it as how to get more people in...Not How can we spread the Gospel and bring them to repentance unto the Lord Jesus Christ! These people are going to stand before Jesus and give an account!

I still need to finish.... but wow...they treat it as how to get more people in...Not How can we spread the Gospel and bring them to repentance unto the Lord Jesus Christ! These people are going to stand before Jesus and give an account! It all depends on what you think our priority should be. Save as many people as possible, or strive for a church body that’s as spotless and anointed as possible? The mega-church model plays on emotions by saying you don’t care for the lost if you’re not pulling them in. How can you ignore lost people perishing while you “hide” in your church preening your feathers? This is the rhetoric. You see the same argument with charitable donations. Should we donate high quality things to give people our best, or should we buy twice as much cheap junk so we can “touch” more people? When it gets to the point that you’re giving them a pack of ramen noodles and a plastic toy from Dollar Tree, you have to wonder if it’s worth it. But seriously, I’ve seen people take it to that extreme, with this patronizing attitude that the beggars ought to be thankful for anything. I’ve always had the belief that we serve a God of excellence. Touching one person with excellence will really change a life. Touching two people with garbage will change neither. But that’s just me. From what I’ve seen in the church overall, this is the minority view.

The truth is always pure and of the LORD . If we feed fifty thousand people with ebola tainted food , what good was that . For even if they all eat of it and rejoice in it , it only kills . Feed the same fifty thousand of pure wholesome food , and even if forty nine thousand and nine hundred snuff their face at it and wont eat it at least the hundred that did are truly nourished . The gospel , the image of Christ the truth , cannot be mixed in any way . Our Lord did not do so , the apostels did not do so . Its truly as JESUS said , they will either hear and accept or they will reject . Our duty is to simply preach sound doctrine truth and honor THE LORD in all that we do or say . God alone gives the increase . Today many plant and many water , but its neither the planting of the Lord , nor His wonderous waters that are done . And thus we are now witnessing the largest falling away ever seen in churches world wide . Whoever plants must do all things by the SPIRIT , whoever waters must do all things by the Spirit . For we have seen the effects of men lead carnal planting and carnal watering , and its went from bad to worse .
