Miss you girl Michele from the past Christian Community Church always wondered how you went in your career and walk in the lord love seeing you preach amen 🙏🏻 that you are doing the lords work praying for your greater blessing and success love you girl "Everything Changes" God gives us the grace to go thru the battle !! Love you my beautiful friend God bless you girl 😘😘😘
Thank you for your "red letter" thoughts. I accidently stumbled across this site while listening to some of Kathy's songs. Your words have coincided so well with my recent scriptural studies in the gospel of Luke that I knew it had to be a "Holy Spirit thing". Unfortunately (and as you mentioned as well), I have often looked at Pauline doctrine from an "intellectual" perspective versus through the lens of Christ. Recently, I have been searching scripture to see if there was adequate validation for either Calvin soteriology or Arminian soteriology. Neither completely satisfied my need to understand the amazing salvation that the God-Christ offers to His human creation. Then I was thrust (I believe by the Holy Spirit) to embark on a study solely based on the words of Christ in the gospel of Luke. I had a tremendous desire to view other scripture through the eyes of what Jesus taught. Also, some of my previous attempts to satisfy my Christian belief was aimed at a study based on the amazing advances made in biology and astronomy that so distinctly enforced the idea of a creator. This was rewarding, but still left me empty. I really needed to have a deeper understanding of the agape love that Christ exhibited through His Words and His ministry while He was here on this earth. What I am finding while intently studying the Words of Christ in the gospel of Luke is God's amazing love toward His creation. I am totally inadequate to understand why a God who created us and the universe we live in loved us so much that He would place Himself in a situation whereby He would die by the most horrendous death; death on the cross. Yet that is exactly what He did. While I absolutely believe it is necessary to "be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that is in you". I am now more convinced than ever that the fullest context of scripture is the agape love Jesus Christ demonstrated toward us...plain and simple it's just the cross; nothing more, nothing less. And where better to understand this than through the gospel teachings of God Himself in the form of Jesus Christ.
I also wanted to mention that we (the human race) tend to be a smorgasbord or "pick and choose" society. We find scripture that fits our view of God without a complete understanding of scripture. How many Christians live by the beatitudes or the idea of total obedience to Christ? We tend to contain Christ within the "little box we put Him in". Most Christians can quote John 3:16, but how many can quote Luke 9:23?
Sorry, I want to clarify in my previous post that living by the beatitudes and having total obedience to Christ is a good thing! Also, it is not a good thing to put Christ in a little box based on our smorgasbord approach to scripture. I'm not sure these thoughts were accurately portrayed in my previous post.
Oh my. What a misquote of scripture. My dear Tony. Jesus said, "Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you," Not, and "these things don't matter." Jesus knows that having something to eat and drink, and having something to wear matter to our well-being here on this earth and in this life here on this earth. He's simply telling us that if we will make His priorities, our priorities, He will make sure that we have what we need also. If you are going to quote scripture, please do so accurately, especially if you are going to say, this is what Jesus said.
Tony, you're a great man sir, and I mean you no dis-respect, but when you say we should never fight nor defeat our enemies, and that non-Christians understand the teachings of Christ more than Christians do, I think you are talking in hyper-bole sir. Are you inferring that we should never have defeated the Brits? Are you inferring that God was not with Washington and those armies that defeated the Brits? Are you inferring that we should have allowed Hitler to continue to posture up in Europe, slaughtering millions of Jews? Are you inferring we should not go after ISIS?
The Holy Ghost descended on New Years night in 1901 in a church in Topeka Kansas on Agnes Ozmon who could only speak Chinese for 3 days. . And they spawned the Azusa Street revival in Los Angeles and in the 1960s the Holy Ghost started the Charismatic Movement in California, and exploded in the 70s and 80s. But the leaders started teaching that gain was a sign of Godliness which in 2nd Timothy is called a false teachings, so obviously someone was teaching that getting things was a sign of Godliness two thousand years ago too. In 2019 the world was hit with a horrible pandemic that’s still raging in 2021. I believe a great latter reign revival is on the way, so we need to pray together or we will miss it separately. Pray pray pray now now. Our children are the leaders and old people are the prayer warriors praying this into the world. Pray people if you believe in God.
@@Brotherken1234 Really, but he’s the one that took it to Houston and to Seymour and that other lady and thry took it to LA. How did he destroy if, it went all over the world. That doesn’t make Sense. Everything is not white supremacy, lol 😂
@@Brotherken1234 In fact William Seymour preached with Charles and together they reached a lot of black peoples in Houston. He’s the one that reached out to the black community. You have no idea what you’re talking about. Seymour was the one who started Azusa and Charles wasn’t even there.
@@Brotherken1234 Parham was afraid that combining black and white peoples in LA would cause problems that’s all. So Seymour continues on by himself and the emotions of Azusa did cause outcry’s but it had nothing to do with Parham, for crying out loud he’s the one that preached to black peoples FIRST. You need to burn that deck of race cards.
The church misinterprets, ignores and doesn't explain very well many things written in the Bible. Genesis 6, that were nephilm, giants, heaven had a war where a 1/3 of the angels got kicked out and down to earth, where they mated with humans producing giant hybrid humans that gave rise to the multiple gods that humans worshipped around world for example Greco -Roman mythology, Hindu gods, just to name a few. Sampson was most likely half human and half angel, hence his strenght. More than likely God was an advanced alien humanoid species, sounds far fetched, but not really. The Israelites wondering in the desert for 40 years were feed by aerial air dropped food, that's why they had to mark their postion each night by erecting a cross shaped candle illuminated tent structure so the air supply craft could locate them and drop the manor. The angels came to earth in space craft, Chariots of Fire. The Roman based European Christian church also ignores some religious texts as well, they were excluded from the Bible which British Explorers found when they went to Ethiopia, they discovered the books of Enoch had been included in the Ethiopian christian Bible. Churches focus to much on taking peoples money, soul saving. They should be explaining the Bible from a modern prospective, they're still trying to teach stuff that was written 2000 years ago when people barely had tecnology, they had no electronics, aeroplanes or genetic engineering.If churches made the Bible relevant in today Society people would believe.
Have been blessed and influenced by both Tony Campolo and Kathy Troccoli for many, many years now...they continue to challenge and inspire me!

Great Show and informative. Keep it up. We can never get enough about Jesus.
That was lovely

Kathy is great!! Tony, great to hear the KJB verses...
Psalm 23 Awesome

I understand what you’re saying but if you just go back to what Jesus said you can’t go wrong.
Oh my. What a misquote of scripture. My dear Tony.

How many go thru life playing a part.
This is dangerous teaching. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God. From Genesis to Revelation.
He agrees with you. He just like to give the actual words of Jesus special extra attention
Proof of the great falling away.
Thus spoke Scrappy Pooh.
Are the red letters the only letters that are relevant?
No
For the most part. Yes!
@@Brotherken1234 Jesus was not a red letter Christians, He affirmed the Law and the Prophets, which He said were a testimony to Himself.
So we can become atheists?
Old clip of kathy singing pre face lift, compared to the interview with crappollo.

What REALLY destroyed that Azusa Revival was white supremacy brought on by Charles Parham. 💡

That’s interesting except I don’t think angels were sexual beings.
U are FULL of CRAP!!
