- As many of us have already seen by now, a couple of days ago there was an exceptional sermon given by Pastor Loran Livingston of the Central Church in Charlotte, NC. Watch Next: • 15 Bible Verses Identi...
In the sermon, Pastor Livingston not only rebuked Christians for confusing politics with being spiritual, but he also warned about the clear and obvious blasphemy of the “God Bless the USA Bible.”
For those of you who haven’t seen it, here’s the clip now, and pay special attention to how quiet the audience was for the most part. This is likely an indication that many were shocked that someone is actually saying these things, but also, a lot of them probably didn’t like hearing the message.

There is not, never was and never will be 'the antichrist'. Paul in the bible made it clear that there will be (and have been) many antichrists.
Trump is ONE of those antichrists, as God told me in a dream three years ago. But he is not THE antichrist.
@@ursulamargrit Paul said no such thing. Perhaps you are thinking of 1 John 2:18.
The Bible does not prove Trump is the antichrist. You are grossly mislead.
@@jonirwin7316 Out of curiosity, what do you believe the Bible says about the Antichrist?
@@Antichrist45 Yes, you're right. But my point still stands.
It's encouraging that at least a few pastors out there are defending faith over politics.
Agree 😊
Watch his other sermons and rethink your premise
@@wayne00k Don't be cryptic, just come out and say what you think of him. I've never heard him preach before.
@@seagrif He's a lordship salvationist, he makes the classic mistake of switching "repentance" (A recognition of one's own wrongdoing or guilt) with "penance" (A need to make recompense or pay for one's wrong doings)
So his "faith" if you listen to even just the sermon this clip came from is really "salvation with a payment and financing plan of "good works""
He is one of those types that get hung up on that "faith without works is dead" verse (not a teaching of Paul fyi, and paul is \our/ disciple, we should be studying his letters and not jame's letters. You already did your "good work" by recognizing yourself as a sinner and realizing you've lived in error, admitting you are have a problem is the first step to recovery after all, and alot of people will go through their entire life without \ever/ recognizing their own wrong doing or sin, nor asking Christ or anyone else for help (see: trump, see: trump supporters).
Basically the short of it is, to satisfy the gospel of James requirement of "faith without works is dead", all it takes is considering Christ when your back is against the wall, the fact that you even thought on him, or felt bad when you did something wrong (let alone try to fix it), completely 100% satisfies this verse in full, Christ did all the work here to save you, it is finished and requires no further enhancements on your part. Hopefully that clarifies my issue with this pastor and even better, makes salvation easy to understand.
Rev. Livingston knows God is the only solution, not politics. Thank God for this man seeing through Trumpism.

no god no savoir tax the churches
I am not a christian but I can recognise a true man of God. Respect. ✌
bottom line, sometimes we say things we don’t mean, words slip, or we don’t realize the full weight of what something means, other times, we make promises we don’t intend to keep, or we’re hypocrites, we should remember that what we say matters, we are called to not conform to the world, Romans 12:2, and we are called to a very high standard of living, Philippians 4:8, we should use words that build up people and the kingdom of god, not words that destroy and curse, to take a step further, avoid such godless chatter, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, 2 Timothy 2:16, before we speak or make an oath, remember Jesus promise, I tell you, on the day of judgment, men will render account for every careless word they utter, for by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned, Matthew 12:36

Okay......but you just contradicted yourself......
To the church of my youth,
What the hell did you expect me to do?
You told me to love my neighbors, to model the life of Jesus. To be kind and considerate, and to stand up for the bullied.
You told me to love people, consider others as more important than myself.
You taught me to sing "red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight."
We sang it together, pressing the volume pedal and leaning our hearts into the chorus. You said that “He loved all the children of the world”.
You told me to love my enemies, to even do good to those who wish for bad things. You told me to never "hate" anyone and to always find ways to encourage people.
You told me it's better to give than receive, to be last instead of first. To help the poor, the widow, the stranger at the gate.
You told me that Jesus looks at what I do for the least-of-these as the true depth of my faith. You told me to focus on my own sin and not to judge. You told me to be accepting and forgiving.
So I paid attention.
I took in every lesson.
And I did what you told me.
But now, you call me a libtard. A queer-lover. You call me "woke." A backslider.
You call me a heretic. You make fun of my heart. You mock the people I’m trying to help.
You say I’m a child of the devil.
You call me soft. A snowflake. A socialist. You shun the very people you told me to help.
What the hell did you expect me to do?
I thought you were serious, but apparently not.
You hate nearly all the people I love. You stand against nearly all the things I stand for. I'm trying to see a way forward, but it's hard when I survey all the hurt, harm, and darkness that comes in the wake of your beliefs and presence.
What the hell did you expect me to do?
I believed it all the way.
I'm still believing it all the way.
Which leaves me wondering, what happened to you?
Thank you
This is absolute poetry.
May I print this out and distribute this message to all who need it?
Thank you
This is awesome, so true.
powerful words...❤
I'm not a Christian. However, this sermon calls for a resounding AMEN💪🏿
Praying you have eternal life.✝️
You're always welcome to hide behind Jesus no matter what
Well Said, Wisdom my cuzinz 🌠👋😃👍
That speaks volumes! I do hope you eventually come to a saving knowledge of the Truth.

Finally. A Pastor with a backbone and willing to stand up to the mess the Anti Christ has caused. Good man,thank you.
I agree
Trump is too stupid to be the antichrist!
Which church are true according to the Bible in this world? Because many churches are not true according to this scriptures, Matthew 7:21-23,Roman's 10;1-3,2Corintians 11:12-15,2thimoty 4:3-4,2Peter 2:1-3,and what is Christmas, Goodfriday and Easter according to the Bible?

No, the Anti-Christ didn't cause this. People calling themselves followers of Jesus of Nazareth did when they stopped praying and listening.
I am SO glad we have ONE evangelical who is actually HUMAN!!
For those of you who aren't aware, Evangelical is a made-up word. You're primarily declaring yourself an angelic being walking on earth. That in & of itself is impossible because we were conceived through the womb of a woman with a body that will eventually deteriorate & perish, susceptible to sin, limited by time & space. That is not the definition of an angelic being or a Theophany. Some pastors and so-called theologians attach inaccurate biblical Jargan and definitions through a failed attempt to elevate themselves to a self-righteous state of being. That's alone is Blasthamy. Only Jesus accomplished that.
On the contrary. Those who are human have drunk to kool-aide and cannot see the Orange One as an anti-Christ. Many worship him instead of the Christ. That is HUMAN. Just like the Israelites in the dessert when Moses climbed the mount to be in God’s presence and bring down the Ten Commandments. Think. Why would God send Trump when Christ has already promised to return at the appointed time? How can men pretend to know when that is?

@@junco1312 YES!!
I am a Roman Catholic. I don't like much of what Evangelicals say, but I agree with this man.
True Christian's. My family is Baptist and believe the same as Pastor Livingston. 🙏
@jackiealba5421 but are you a believer? I hope you are. You don't inherit your faith from family.
@@jonirwin7316 Sounds like you fell for the Heresy of the American Gospel.
@@stevengarman4848 not so.

This sermon will no doubt cost him members and donations. God bless this man of God. We need more like him. ❤
I agree.
It will so get him some members. Ones that want to hear the truth.
I stopped going when fax and maga crept in. Preachers displaying and packing pistols in the pulpit. Praising FX and/or bashing any other media, FROM THE PULPIT.
Sad, fear-filled, church leaders who fell for the lies and delusion.
It all started with J.Falwell Jr’s pool boy scandal. He was caught and about to be outed by DJT’s “friend,” David Pecker, at the National Inquirer, but tRump had a better idea.
Blackmail JFJr to back tRump. JFJr was president of liberty university at the time and had been riding the coattails of his, well respected, daddy’s religious business.
I lost one pastor due to Trump, he would not choose between Trump and Jesus Christ. I could not believe it. I pray for him, he was my Bible Study advisor. It broke my heart. Now I walk with Christ by myself....
You are not by yourself ❤
Heaven is watching. This Pastor realizes his accountability. GOD BLESS him. Praise the LORD for Bold & Courageous men of God like him.
You don't walk alone
Wow I can't believe people are so wrapped in Trump to lose Jesus
Only believe in Jesus Christ
Amen Pastor Amen.
Jesus never waved a flag or supported a politician. Keep preaching the gospel.
Yep exactly, MLK never would recognize dem or rep either, great folks
THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT OUR WORLD NEEDS ...RIGHTEOUS MEN TO TAKE A STAND...😎
About time a preacher speaks up about politics and religion not being compatible
Yes.
FINALLY!
Politics and religion are very compatible, one just needs to review history to realize that! Politics and the Bible are not necessarily compatible, when certain decisions need to be made between the two, always go with the Bible!
I respect this pastor so much!!!! He was brave enough to say OUT LOUD the truth!!!! HE SPOKE THE TRUTH! I get it. I am a devout Christian and PROUD of it. So for those of you who do not like what you heard, cry me a river. Pastor Livingston knows the Lord. I was beginning to question my faith when Christian leaders were silent while Donald Trump did what he does best, cheat, lie, and hate. Thank you, Pastor Livingston. Regardless about what happens next, your seat in heaven is reserved for you.
Hallelujah to the Lamb of GOD
I cried when I read that you were questioning your faith😞
They were quiet because most were guilty and needed that rebuke.
Most Gentiles heathen nations are patriotic and very foolish and hey love them Som good old America and will do anything for it not know tie play is taking them to the pit of hell.
Finally someone with the gonads to tell it like it is. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM!!! IT IS BLASPHEMOUS!!!!
Jesus said My sheep hear my voice and they follow me. He did not say any religious organization. it is a relationship with The Lord not a religion
Christian Nationalism, is simply a sanitized name for "Religious Nazi's"!

Agreed
The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not comprended it.
I wish all of MAGA could understand this Godly truth.
🙏🏼🙏🏼
Unfortunately, many of Trump's followers are blinded by him...
In my experience, the ones who think they are righteous are going to tune out anything that doesn't confirm their idolatrous bias.
Keep shouting the " Truth " from the pulpit, and the highest mountain ⛰️, pastor ! Wake people up from the nightmare of Drumph's people and Christian Nationalism!

As a Jew, I can say that the way I live my life is much closer to Christian belief and practice than most Christians today
If you don't believe that Christ was God in the flesh and your savior then you are nothing like a Christian. Have you confessed to God you are a sinner and cannot possibly earn salvation? If not you better start over.
If we could all be so righteous as the Christ denying Jews. -Isaiah 53-
Jews 4 Jesus.
Your friend,
The Gentile
Amen, I do hope that you publicly confess that Jesus Christ is Lord and believe that GOD alone has raised him up among the dead. You will be saved. That’s our testimony bro
@@Kindjuju Nope. My point is that most Christians are hypocrites, and that simply striving to live an honest life, being kind and compassionate to others, accepting those who are different than me, helping those that are less fortunate than me, etc, I am living a life that is closer to what Jesus wanted of his followers than 99% of so-called "Christians" today, especially those who think Christ endorses political candidates, or would blame the poor for their situation, or accepts the spread of hate in any form
@@Kindjuju By their fruits you shall know them...
Seems even most christian dont believe what your saying.. many have left the church in the last 20 years.
I'm not an evangelical Christian, but I'm glad this pastor gave this sermon. If there really were such a person as the Antichrist, a man of sin "leading the flock astray," it would be hard to find a more appropriate candidate for that role than the 45th President of the U.S. It's about time some Christians noticed that.
Yes, I heard Pastor Livingston's sermon.
I was so glad to hear that at least a pastor was correcting rebuking and chastising Trump and all those who follow Trump.
Is there somewhere online to view it? I want to share it with some folks.

@@DragonflyenAmber Try searching for Pastor Loran Livingston, Word of Life NC Church
Praise God, Wisdom Speaks
I wonder - could Drumpf be a false “prophet” of sorts - sort of like a devilish Manichaean?
I have struggled with this Bible and wondered if any Christian was going to push back. Glad he did.
Tim Wildsmith did a great review on the Bible: ua-cam.com/video/x2W_qutSlLg/v-deo.htmlsi=RAU9nkqWVnZnlQ4x
i'm truly sorry to hear you "struggled".
but i have to ask . . . how was there a struggle with that trump bible nonsense?
as this pastor said . . . it's all just a cheap trumpian ploy.
how did you not see that bus coming from a mile down the road?
trump relies on folks like you to not know what to do with his trash plays.
he thrives on it.
god bless you . . . seriously.
@@kevinbowler1103 My struggle is with this being okay combining church and state, with others. I do not struggle with right and wrong, for myself.
I didn’t, I knew immediately it was blasphemous
What’s the struggle? A dishonest grifter turned golden calf for an idolatrous cult, decided to sell a Bible to them because they’d easily fall for it and he knew that.
Any church that becomes a political action committee, by telling members how to vote, should lose their tax exempt status. I have honestly left churches like that. Telling them that I served in the military for 8 years, defending everyone else's right to vote however they chose to, and they don't get to tell me how to vote or who to vote for. Awesome video, Brother Paul, I gave it like number 55.
Amen ❤️
I always felt the same way from long ago. That a church like that should lose its tax exempt status
I was told by the elders of a church I was attending that I was out of the will of God because I would not vote for Trump in 2016. I left and have not been in an evangelical church since. What's sad is that the evangelical conservative legislation and stance is turning people off to the gospel msg because it its not anything Jesus taught. The perception of Christianity today especially among the young, is negative because of the political right and there's a good chance it will destroy Christianity in this country unless there is a reformation back to the essence of Jesus teachings. Frankly, any church telling you how to vote from the pulpit should lose its tax exempt status.
Using the bible and its teachings to push a political narrative or to justify hate, bigotry and exclusion is not a good Christian ideology. But it certainly is hypocritical and totally ignores the actual teachings of Jesus.
@@brady8257 people who leave the church building or a congregation may not be the one who are the apostate. The congregations and the building that they meet in that allow politics and nationalism to infect them are the apostate. I have not step foot in a church building in 25 years when i saw this infection and saw it becoming widespread. This pastor has other beliefs that i disagree with but this part of his sermon i believe is biblically rooted. The most important mission on our temporary visit on earth is to spread the gospel so Jesus has the opportunity to brig nonbelievers into the fold and let them experience having an eternal life and god's love. Anything that interferes with that mission is ungodly. the church's actions and words have not attracted nonbelievers it has had the opposite effect.
I am Catholic. I'm so glad to hear a man of God speak the truth about trump. So many voted for trump because of his alleged pro-life stance, and say anyone not voting for him is a sinner. Thank you Pastor Livingston.
It's about time a real man of God spoke up.
I wonder how many people no longer attend this church. I say kudos to this man for speaking his heart.
Good riddens to them!
Does he still have a job at that church?
Who cares? They were obviously not real Christians anyway.
Suffer for the cause of Christ. Should be played at every church. Every political rally everywhere. Goes for all the parties. We don't have to vote for anybody but Jesus Christ and that's who I have put on my ballot since Bush the son left office. I'm for righteousness and those who support Holy and righteousness. There hasn't been anyone like that in my opinion in a long long time. So. GO JESUS!!!!
I can't love this pastor more. WOW WOW WOW!!
Mrs. H
As a Catholic, this is good news to hear from the Protestant religions.
I remember sitting in the Catholic church that my mom took me to as a kid hearing homilies about the upcoming Sunday NFL games. That's life changing stuff right there. 🙄
@@johnjones393 Ya, Catholic priests are aware of NFL games, especially in Texas.
Especially in. San ANtolnio.
Go Cowboys, God help us.🤣🤣
Ya’ll have never been to Philadelphia where they’re wearing Eagles and Phillies jerseys to church 😂😂.
Although honestly I prefer going to a more or less normal mass where everyone is wearing sports jerseys then having to sit through a homily by a priest who uses the exact same words as Vladimir Putin - after which he even gets a standing ovation. Yeah, I go to a Ukrainian Catholic Church now :)
There’s a ton of Trumpers in the RCC too
I am catholic, but went to a non denominational church as a youth which opened my eyes to Jesus's teaching more than boring mass.
Both churches provided me with a great Chistian foundation, but ultimately, I believe no mortal can interpret scripture and dictate religion to you.
Each individual has to pray, develop faith in Jesus based on the experiences God has set forth in their lives and establish your own beliefs rooted in the words of the bible.
Love thy neighbor does not mean only if they are white, Christian, non-immigrant and straight.
As yourself what would Jesus do? Would he seek revenge on his political foes? Would he bash LGBTQ? Would he talk badly about and mistreat illegal immigrants?
Proverbs 6:16-19
There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers.
Hopefully this Pastor is just the first to open up and speak the "truth". Praise God 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
@@Texas_940 You can't be serious! Politics is at the core of Pawlowski's activism - he literally ran for public office in 2023. Pastor Livingston's sermon clearly makes the case that politics is worldly, not spiritual. Pawlowski may strongly believe his political views, but they have nothing to do with serving God. Please watch the video again.

I am a PROTESTANT Christian and I believe in one bible and one bible only. The one written by God himself. I thank this Pastor for clarifing the difference between Church and State. God help us all this year.❤
On point! Every day that I open my bible, I will think of this Pastor. Love your neighbor as yourself.
This pastor has it right.
❤
Main points from Pastor Livingston's sermon:
1. Read & Pray More.
2. Leave politics out of your relationship with God.
3. Give to Caesar what is Caesar's, give to God what is God's.
4. That "Bible" is blasphemy.
Excellent point!!!
I'm sure a lot of people were totally surprised at what they heard 😲 And hopefully, they learned from it!!!
Pastor Livingston is a fearless man of God. He NEVER FLINCHES WHEN IT COMES TO FAITH.
Praise God for this pastor's witness to the truth🙏🤩
Best sermon I've ever heard. I wish I could have heard the entire sermon.
Yeah, I only played the relevant portion. Here's the full clip: ua-cam.com/users/liveGOAwBw0vOfk?si=_eyHuyb-U2di1Kxp
So refreshing to hear at least one pastor not afraid to say it! I decided last year that I would no longer participate in any thing political and just focus on the word of God and it has been one of the best things I've done in a while. The USA needs Jesus--no president will save us.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT ‼️
NO‼️ MAN CAN SAVE AMERICA 🇺🇸
ONLY GOD HIMSELF CAN SAVE MANKIND FROM HIS DESTRUCTIVE AND EVIL WAYS 🙏🏽
Thankyou Jesus for pastors like this. I've believed Trump was evil to the core. I don't know why I could see this, and my other Christian friends and relatives can't.
As the word says. He that has ears to hear, let him hear. U do, pray for them.
Absolutely
I have stopped publicly identifying myself as a Christian because I don’t want to be grouped in with the MAGA folks who call themselves Christians. My heart has been broken by what has happened to Christianity in America because I know they are ignoring Christ’s teachings. You have given me tools for trying to bring folks back into the fold, the truth, real Christianity. And now I can be proud of my Christianity and better explain how I’m not like them (MAGA). THANK YOU!
To thine own self be true. Stand in faith only.
Thank you pastor for speaking the truth and for representing the HOLY BIBLE 👈👍🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
I was so thrilled when I heard Pastor Livingston's sermon. Finally! I thought to myself. Finally the church leadership is stepping up and telling Truth to power. Praise God!

This needs to be played and replayed at full volume from loud speakers in churches all across America 24/7.

May God move his congregation to hear his wise counsel.
I love the unveiled and unvarnished truth! I'm rejoicing in the truth of Pastor Loran Livingston's message on the topic of voting, etc. Perhaps some people will now be made free (John 8:32) I'm ecstatic that the message went viral as well.
This pastor gets it. Growing up... my home pastor of many years warned us of the coming extreme evangelical movement and how it would be about politics, power, and money. He told us that being born into the church once was all that God needed or wanted. At baptism... we are born into the church and accepted by God. He was right.
This pastor is speaking the truth.
Everytime I listen to this I love it more. Truth is to be sought after and loved.
1:36 💥 BOOM!
Amen, Amen, and AMEN.
MY RESPONSIBILITY IS WITH THE LORD!
I'm GLAD it went viral.
I was encouraged by this sermon. Faith in Christ is completely separate from politics. This country should return to separation of Church and State, The political leaders are definitely not qualified to teach morality. What this tells me is that we might have a bunch of unqualified pastors that are falling down on their duties. Morality is the sole responsibility of the church, not the state. If the churches are not doing their jobs, it's easier for them to let the state do the job. The state is usually mired down with corruption and is singularly incapable of nourishing the spirits of the faithful. Jesus Christ even said, "Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's and unto God the things that are God's" Does this not totally support the idea of separation of church and state? Wake up America. There is NO savior in ANY politician. There is only ONE Savior and that is Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Any politician that compares him or herself with God, is guilty of blasphemy in the extreme. Jesus will not return as a corrupt politician. In the last days, the scriptures say, "You will hear, lo, here is Christ, or lo, there is Christ, believe them not." When Christ returns it will be obvious that He has returned in a cloud of Glory. Be ever prepared like the wise virgins with their trimmed lamps. Reject outright the inclusion of church precepts into the state. Honor the church by reading the scriptures and look for the return of Jesus Christ, the ONLY Savior of His people.
This message NEEDS to be broadcast across the nation in every Christian congregation. Everything he says is 100% correct according to actual Christian faith.
Many pastors need to watch this he is so spot on we have worshipped America
He's standing up to the wolf in sheep's clothing! Praise God! 👏 I pray this will catch on like a wildfire all over our country 🙏
Praise be to God.
Trump doesn't even bother to put on sheep's clothing. He's pure wolf.
@sfdint to people that can see it, yes, but not his cult
When the greatest failure of our time threw his hat in the ring, I called him the devil incarnate. I'm so glad others are aware.
“ If you glory in that kind of political mess, you do not know what the word of God sayeth.” Amen to that!
A few good Pastors left. May God bless you 😊
I heard this earlier and I was glad he spoke. It restored my faith in believing some of us in the body of christ might make it in.
I’m not a religious guy but this preacher is absolutely right. 👍👍❤️😎
God bless this pastor for bringing truth! 🙏🏻✝️
This Pastor will be the reason I get back into the church.
I'm an atheist and I support this man!!
I agree with you, I'm a christian, I have been a republican, I have been a democrat, but I have never believed that politics belongs in the church
That's something that evangelicals have started and it has not stopped for many years
I'm a United Methodist and I'm totally against politics in the churches
❤😊
Christianity needs a lot more people like that.
Not the spinless dividers they currently have.
It was so refreshing to hear from a pastor preaching the truth
I have followed Pastor Livingston’s ministry and messages for years and years and this straight forward preaching is always what he delivers! He is a true man of God,pastoring his church faithfully for 40 years!
What kind of question is this?
So decisions made during the pandemic defines a pastors ministry?
You have no idea what it was to pastor a church through Covid,sir I do…
Don’t judge a church or a pastors decisions during one of the toughest times in our generation to try to discern what was the right thing,example as a pastor and the deacons we decided to stand open and ended up getting the whole congregation sick,with many in the hospital… Anyone that makes light of those decisions we had to make as leaders does not have a clue what you are talking about!
Praise God! This NEEDED to be said. I commend him for his bravery and truth telling. I’d have made a spectacle of myself if I had been there by standing and applauding!
Glad to hear it said. Grew up with faithful, good parents. My parents turned the other cheek when the congregation looked down on us for being poor. How could the church preach about salvation and be so shallow? As kids, we were tormented and teased during Sunday school. This formed my opinions on Christian beliefs. I rarely meet christians.
Churches need to stay out of politics. Church funds should be used to help the needy not build fancy churches. Period.
I have little faith in churches anymore. My personal belief is any church not doing said things above should not have tax exempt status...because they are not churches, they are businesses.
AMEN.
GOD BLESS YOU PASTOR
for having the COURAGE.
I was watching body language, such as jiggling a foot, and many were not happy.. I have heard for years of pastors who were afraid to preach this as the congregation might become quite small.
I find this sad because I would be more likely to want to go to a church where a Pastor took this kind of stand. I ❤ this guy .
Me too! Especially the guy in the blue suit his legging was moving, and you can see in his he was burning mad.
White Christians have repeatedly cancelled pastors who blaspheme Trump, Russell Moore, for example.
That is so sad because those pastors are focused on the wrong thing preach God's word and let him feel the church building.
Amen! As a Catholic I strongly believe in separation of church and state. Pastor said it the best way I’ve ever heard it. The constitution has no references to God and that’s that! Love “ Voting is a civic privelage “ I pray that other Pastor’s take point in this sermon and pass it along. It’s going to take a lot of work to get the message thru since many have been indoctrinated into believing a man who didn’t read the Bible, nor can recite any particular verse be a God sent or a second coming of Jesus.
Thank you Pastor
Praise the Lord.. I hardly ever utter those words, this Pastor needs to be listened to by every religious christian
AMEN! Tell the truth, shame the devil!!!
BIG MAHALOS FOR TAKING A STAND...THE ONLY THING EVIL NEEDS TO FLOURISH IS FOR GOOD MEN TO STAND BY AND DO NOTHING...SO ITS AWSOME YOU DREW THE LINE ...GOD BLESS US ALL ...ALL GLORY TO GOD...ALOHA FROM HAWAII 😎
Hallelujah!!!!
GOD Bless this Pastor and Protect him for having the courage to Speak The Truth of Jesus Christ. 🙏🙏🙏
Greatest sermon of all times. God bless this pastor. Pastor Loran, stay strong. We need you, America needs you, humanity needs you.
Pastor hit the nail on the head.
Amen, Amen and Amen! As a convert to Christianity, in general, and Catholicism, in particular, I have become nearly distraught by dirty, loveless, worldly POLITICS being conflated with the religion that I love. I am SO grateful for my faith, I cannot express it strongly enough. But it brings tears to my eyes when I encounter co-religionists who parrot the Godless campaign mottos of a vulgar, immoral, lying, sexual predator whose values are OBVIOUSLY the opposite of Christian values. When I see fellow Christians following that awful man, instead of following Christ, all the while proclaiming a political gospel in the place of our Lord's, I feel such fear for them - fear for their souls! Lord Jesus, help them see. Please, Lord, draw them to your bosom and hold them tight! May they rest in your love and come to their senses.
This is your friendly neighborhood Christian-turned-atheist-turned-Eclectic Pagan (with focus on the Greek pantheon) speaking. I learned how to sense and (mentally) hear divine beings partly when I was a Christian and it’s gotten honed and re-kindled after my recent conversion to paganism.
I’ve probably had more interaction with Jesus, some of the various Archangels (Michael and Raphael in particular), and Virgin Mary in the past few months as a pagan focusing on the worship of the Greek pantheon than I ever did during the few years I was a Pentecostal-adjacent evangelical Christian.
I was contemplating how Jesus drove the moneychangers out of the temple when I made a joke about how maybe we should drive the evangelicals out of a church with a whip. Jesus pops into my space, says “I approve”, tosses me a spiritual whip, and then leaves.
Listening to Pastor Loran Livingston speak the word of God with strong conviction and without deluding it with politics, hatred, bigotry, and racism is like having a cold glass of ice water in a scorching hot sumner day.. It also confirms what God has shown me: that in the last days, many of God's people will fall into the spirit of delusion spoken about in the book of 2 Thessalonians 2.
✝️ 2 Thessalonians 2:11-12
11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness..
( 👉 I will continue to watch Pastor Loran's sermons.. )
So very true. God bless.
It's good to know this is a Godly preachers out there to preach the gospel Indian care less about American politics for care more about a human being so politics will always be of this world the word of God will last forever may God bless all those today service is fell upon made out of repent and believe the gospel if I never meet you on this planet may I meet you in the kingdom of God praise God brother amen
I have always tried not to mix politics and religion. And I believe religious leaders, in particular, should try to remain impartial. Unfortunately, CHUMP has forced us to have the two clash. He thrives and delights in CHAOS, so I am convinced this is by design. I admire Dr. Livingston's ( I presume ) courage to publicly state the obvious. I'm sure everyone was listening. Problem is that some people are in denial and simply can not accept the truth. A sign of the Orwellian times we live in.
Great Sermon!!!!
My daughter sent this to me the other day. Awesome words 👌
The Children of Israel were exiled to Babylon, a pagan empire, for 70 years. Scholars estimate that 80% of the Hebrew Scriptures were written during this time of exile. God instructed them to live at peace with the Babylonians as much as possible, but without bowing the knee to their gods. God greatly multiplied and prospered them in this; however, I can't imagine how they must have felt as they watched their captors practice their cruel and licentious ways. This is how I see Christians living in this evil age as we carry with us the witness and truth of the Gospel. Take a look at Jesus' prayer for His disciples (and for all of us) in John 17. He prayed in verses 16 -17: "I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world." I always have trouble sitting through church services on or around patriotic holidays like the 4th of July, when we are forced to sing patriotic songs in the place designated for worship of the one true God. Do I give thanks for the freedoms I enjoy? Yes. Do I pray for our leaders that we may live in peace? Yes. Do I vote my conscience? Yes. However, I do NOT worship the United States of America!
I can relate. It breaks my heart.
Hi, Darla. I am just a somewhat educated layperson, and not an expert.
But I lectured on Music History and Music Theory for 26 years.
From the Middle Ages through the Renaissance and the Baroque (Music) Periods, and up through the 1970s, settings of the Lamentation Psalm 136 or 137 (Super Flumina Babylonis) culminating in Boney M's 1976 cover of "Rivers of Babylon," the truth remains: If you are going to lecture about Music History, you had best be acquainted with the (original) Babylonian Captivity.
What fascinates me, above and beyond the fact that the names Esther and Mordecai are both of Babylonian origin, is that there are about four or five core beliefs that Christians inherited from the Hebrews, that were not part of Normative Judaism before the Babylonian Captivity. Angels as Messengers, Good and Evil as entities, rather than concepts, the afterlife as a place of rewards and punishments, and so on. These were borrowed from the teachings of the Persian magus Zoroaster. Rather humbling for everyone involved, I would think.
Darla, I thank you for getting to the point: Worshiping the US is an Idolatry of Worldly Power.
What is the shortest verse in the Bible? "Jesus wept."
I have never agreed with the Watchtower (Jehovah's Witnesses) group. But I have respected their courage.
In recent days, I am more and more convinced that they were right about the Pledge of Allegiance. And here today we have a corrupt politician hawking a Bible that might have been printed by slave labor in China. With a fake leather binding.
I leave by taking note of two of my core beliefs.
1) Jesus's true Kingdom never was of this world; and
2) The heroic early Christians, down in the Catacombs, did not waste any time trying to figure out whether Servius Sulpicius Galbo was going to be a better or worse guy than Nero. Their eyes were on the prize.
Pax vobiscum,
john
You are mistaken concerning the Babylonians being "cruel." First of all, Hammurabi's Code was written 350 years before the "birth" of Moses. It is considered by most modern scholars to be a reasonably fair legal code for its time. Secondly, not all Israelites, Judeans, were carried off to Babylon. It was Royal families, priests and scribes, basically the leadership being held in captivity. They did not murder the entirety of Jerusalem, unlike the jews who claimed to have wiped out entire Canaanite cities.
Thirdly, the jews were allowed to keep and practice their religion.
I dont believe this, I was reading this in a bible study today
I just became a ordained minister 2 days ago and will listening to this man as reference for my sermns.
Amen Pastor Livingston! Thank you for your courage to speak truth!! God bless you!
❤Amen. So thankful for his message. I pray this will hit home for Christians.
Much respect to this pastor, for having the courage of preaching the truth, and putting his faith on God, knowing he was risking the tithes of the maga attendees with his message.🙏🏼💪🏼
I've been wanting to hear that for a long time. God bless that pastor.
About time. Need more pastors to step up & do the same. God will bless this man for speaking the truth.
May God continue to bless Pastor Livingston.
Play it far and wide!!! God bless this pastor🙏🙏🙏💙💙💙
We need to pray so these people open up their spiritual eyes and see what Trump’s intentions really are.
I have and I do. It will take God's light to open their eyes. I pray they all see his light.
Thank God there's a pastor in church talking about this subject. I hope those "Christians" who have become blind followers of a man who is an impostor pretending to be the chosen one. I hope they start to see the antichrist they are following, and they can change and go back to the Christian faith. 🙏✝️
Seperation of church and state is what is best for both church and state.
As a member of the protestant family and a regular churchgoer, my thoughts on Trump and his cult severely test my Christian patience!!
I wish that I lived close to his church. This is what the majority of the Maga's and the other people out here need to listen to. God bless this man for speaking the truth!
God always shows up on time. His word will be heard one way or another anytime anywhere he wants it to.
Amen.
Uh, this is NOT on time. The man could have spoke to his "followers" a little earlier and more clearly.
Amen! God bless you for posting this!
My former church is still mixing politics and the church all the time. It has cost that church most of its young people.
And a lot of us that don’t think this should be done.
I don’t have any trouble with reminding people to vote, or reminding us that we should all be proud of our country and honor our veterans.
😮But that is different!
I would remind people of the strong faith of former President Jimmy Carter.
People might question his policies but you can’t question his faith.
Also he never sold Bibles he just used his to read and stud y and live by!
Amen Pastor, Preach the TRUTH...WERE SEPARATE FROM THIS WORLD ...
THANK YOU Pastor Livingston. A wonderful, timely word!!
I am hearing you loud and clear. Amen and amen.🤠👍
