- In this sermon, Pastor Doug Wilson discusses judgement and flattery.
"A wicked generation only wants the truth when the truth is convenient.
If the truth is useful, they will use it, and if it is not useful, then they will accuse the prophet or preacher of 'being negative all the time.'"

I learned again today about my Lord God. May God continue to bless this man and protect him from pride.
I love the ministry of this man! May the Lord bless him richly!
This is straight fire folks. Now Doug may not agree with me here, but in light of all that he just laid out for us, does it now make sense why Paul had to tell the church not to despise prophecies? Does it make sense why the church so hates the gift of prophecy in spite of the fact that Paul told us that was one of the gifts that should be desired above and beyond the others and even sought after and that we could all operate in it and that we should operate in it as the normal functioning of his body. The church hates the prophetic word for the same reason the men in Micah did. They DO NOT WANT TO HEAR HIS VOICE. Why? Because his voice is ALWAYS a call to die. It's always a call to die because it's always a call to LIVE. And our flesh does not go willingly to the cross that the power of God and his life giving spirit may be resurrected in our spirits. The church wants the cross for fire insurance but they'll not have it as it is, which is the instrument of God's miraculous working power, God the Holy Spirit.
I agree with pastor Doug that when we see God is hard, it is because we are hard BUT also, our concept of God can be distorted due to woundings from our parents in eary childhood. If you see God in a way that is contrary to scripture, it's worth the time and effort to work through those issues.
Worse than the psychotic man, is the sycophant who praises him.
This was great! Thank you.
Grand risings brothers and sisters. Peace be with us all as we serve with no flinching, no Ego and no judgements.
Excellent
I am so glad I don't think about the world like that. We aren't here very long and I'd rather not fear things but instead live.
To know the truth is indeed Hard, many are incapable of hearing it... But we must not let the truth Harden US... remember the parts of the church the Lord favors over the face and body... Do not grow wary of doing good deeds, be his hands and feet... Don't be discouraged just persevere without becoming jaded, don't let the truth Harden YOU or hinder your message, make their ear receptive to truth, and rather than perceiving everything as condemnation try to think of the Lord's Laws and Decrees as constructive criticism... The Lord LOVES his children, we condemn ourselves.... Remember when daddy would say "this is gonna hurt me more than you"... Why would your heavenly father look towards you any differently than your earthly father, you think he wants his children to come to harm... Or eternal damnation ? Punishment is as always been for our own good, like the trials of adversity... It's the catalyst by which we grow and how God works his magic.... Only the Lord's wisdom could take every painful trial and experience in your life, put them in a blender, and create the most glorious milkshake that is YOU... Focus on the lost... Bringing them to Christ as the Lord smoothes out your own edges... We are all a Work in Progress... And much like our current jobs once we actually master the job we are promoted... Selah🎶
Amen.
I hope you remember all the instances where the "prophets" of yahweh joyfully support the slaughter of the defenseless "ornaments" of neighboring nations.
Simply look to Christ

I did not know the University of Washington was "the biggest repository of baby parts" from the abortion industry. Horrific.
We already have the affirmation, legalisation and even celebration of mass cruelty in the western world with regard to abortion.
The problem with almost ALL reformed people is
