I have 4 adult sons ( 27, 26, 24 and 20) and 2 believe and two don't . What I've tried doesn't connect with them. I raised them in Church yet I myself turned my back on Jesus and hit rock bottom and now I've come home. I realize now praying for them is the most powerful thing I can do and trust Jesus to bring them back home and not me. I pray yours comes back as well. God bless you and you're family❤️
We’ve all gone astray, everyone to his own way, but Jesus comes and gets us. He’s a faithful shepherd. One day we will see him face to face and give him all the glory!! I remember when Alice Cooper was very famous. He was a preachers kid who had to find his way. He’s unusual. We should keep him in prayer.
Oh my, this post is incredibly uplifting! I love how Pastor Greg explains building the bridge. I was told by many christians that it is impossible to witness to your family. And I believed that lie for a long time. But the Lord has placed a heavy burden in my heart to believe His word, " is anything too hard for God?". Since Jesus is the same yesterday today and tomorrow He can save my family from the lies of Catholicism. Amen 🙏🛐
I walked away from Catholicism 20 years ago at the ripe age of 55. There’s hope for everyone…And just because someone is Catholic doesn’t mean they are not saved.
Greg Laurie I think you have lost our mind...you love pop and rock culture???? elevating music idols are rare gems??? exposing them is one thing but you sound like you are joining them in the idol worship you really have lost the plot now
I so appreciate Pastor Greg, and his ministry. Thank you all for sharing this story, so many times when we come to Christ, we seem to put people in a class, "those people" so to speak, When it should be God show me if given the opportunity, how to reach them and what I should say, or be an example so they can see you Fahter in Me. Pastor Greg does that. Thank you all for the example, of showing God's love. Blessings!!🙏🏽
GREG, Chose this day who you will serve, for you cannot serve two masters. You make sinning and serving the Lord seem compatible. They are not, and so you are doing a disservice to God, and bringing confusion to weak and young believers. Have NO agreements with the works of darkness, rather expose them, as this message exposes your hypocrisy.
Jesus said His Brothers and Sisters were those who "obey His Commandments. Grace Helps You to "not sin" Grace is not to absolve you from your sins!! He loves Us but He did not die so that we could "comfortly live in sin!
Thank you, Delasia! Reading thru these comments has me feeling like I'm in the twilight zone. How can people still take G.Laurie seriously after this?!
Loved this interview, I need to get this book. Praise God that Heo loves us first and in spite of us and our sins. We all have sinned and fallen short, all of us. However due to God's love and grace through the sacrifice of His Son we can also receive His forgiveness and salvation.
Why dont they now use their fame to sound the alarm about the wickedness that the entertainment industry promotes ? Come forward and sound the trumpet like a watchman. Glad if they got saved but now use the popularity to keep others from falling into the same death trap that they use to promote making millions.
I read a book years ago by a Christian journalist who had interviewed John and Yoko. He said that John had been born again just before Yoko appeared on the scene. I like to think that John made it to the right place, and hopefully we'll see him again. ..The book was entitled: The Gospel According to the Beatles btw. And outlined their spiritual journey.
Pastor Greg I too have been praying for Johnny Depp yes he is in such Darkness I've been praying for hes salvation and I also heard that Alice Cooper had accepted Jesus and since I have seen him with Johnny Depp on stage playing in his band the vampires I've been praying that God will intervene and show Johnny Depp that he loves him and he's the answer to is salvation we've all been in the Valley of the darkness and we had to wait till we hit rock bottom I myself have been there I've been praying for his soul so when we do go in the Rapture that he will go with us
Actually, they took all that music from soulful black musicians. Elvis Presley songs were all from black people. However, it doesn't matter the Lord is the redeemer praise God for your work.
Truth. If it's going to be taught, it needs to be taught rightfully. It does matter if the truth is going to be edited. The motive of the speaker is in question. Where else will the speaker edit the truth? I'm surprised Greg did that.
Question for alice cooper: why are you still dressing up and performing all your old unGodly songs, and not condemning it. Wheres your repentance and sanctification?? Shame on greg laurie..
@@donmcc6573 once you know the word you become responsible of others knowing the word. You will not withheld the word from others as it is egotistical. Automatically you will want to share. If you don’t feel that way then is not the real God speaking to you. You can’t serve 2 masters. Read the Bible my friend.
@@yild6227 There's the old "read the Bible" strawman argument. What you say when you have nothing to say. I've been reading the Bible for fifty years. Alice Cooper does share his faith. Why do you think we know he is a Christian?
I'm very confused here! I always loved Alice Cooper and I was delighted when I heard him confess his faith in an interview. However, in that interview, he said he had not used drugs, only alcohol.
CRAZY GOD THING.... Elkins golf course where Mr. COOPER Used to golf in the 70s I lived nearby... is less than 10 miles from where Steve McQueen lived. Pastor Leonard DeWitt was my pastor when I lived in Ventura.
If "Alice Cooper" has been transformed by Christ, why is he still performing in the same way he always has? Glad to hear he's given up drugs and reaching out to youth, but what about all the other forms of unholiness in his performances? Why isn't he using his gifts in a sanctified way and renouncing the unholy behavior of his past?
Sometimes the Lord will put you in places to be a witness. Don't put God in a box. Alice Cooper will be a great influence. They won't feel judged and know he came from the same place as them. God is working. !!
Greg says, “There’s a woman who wrote a book…” he’s speaking of Dr. Robin Smith. Robin, “May the LORD bleSS you and protect you. May the LORD ‘Smile’ on you and bee gracious to you. May the Lord show you his favor and give you his peace.” Numbers 6:24-26

Don't forget that Alice Cooper has now transformed into Dr Jill Biden! It was mostly just exchanging black hair for blond, but otherwise Jill is still our "Alice"!!!
What's wrong with culture? Can Christians watch sports, or see a good play? Can we light some firecrackers to celebrate the birth of our nation? There is nothing wrong with playing music.
He tours regularly and plays the song feed my frankenstein. Not too uplifting. Paul didnt worship the pop culture. We need to make sure we dont worship the world. Brian welch of korn left the band because he was convicted abput the lyrics but rejoined them im guessing for the money. Stop worshipping the world and try to bring the world to the Lord.
Soo agree, I have 3 prodigal adult children who need salvation & deliverance from drugs(2 of them) God is faithful, I'll never stop praying!! 🙏🏼❤️📖

There are obviously more truths in Catholicism than the other churches (protestant, Christian, Baptist).
The Pontifix Maximus,,,, ie. the official name for 'the Pope'... means 'the great bridge builder' in latin.
@@thelostmarbles4310 no it does not, it means greatest priest,or chief priest.
@@sammyo623 no it means great bridge builder. Your just guessing.

When I got saved in 1977. I got rid of all my rock and roll even my Carpenter's album. We are suppose to be separate from the world.
EXACTLY.
That was a foolish thing to do. You should have given them to me.
Get rid of the Carpenter's music? There's something quite not right about this.
I was saved in 1977, too !! Thank you Jesus !
I often listen to Elvis’s sacred albums and you hear his faith coming through.
I pray Alice will one day, soon, be the catalyst for Johnny Depp’s salvation. As band mates and friends it can’t have escaped Johnnys notice.

This is such a great interview,thank you pastor Greg,you r very insightful 👍
Absolutely beautiful! You keep going, Pastor Greg! What a wonderful brother you are! ❤😎❤
READ..." They Sold their souls for Rock& Roll" Sad what we call Christianity
Exactly. This is ridiculous.

I'd love to see Mick Jagger get saved (and everyone else!) just to hear the testimony as a former Stones fan (I see it as poison now).
Him, Robert Plant, and Steve Tyler, who once sang a couple of gospel songs.🙏🏼
We know true believers BY OUR FRUUT. What fruit are people bearing?
Working progress !!
You can't be serious...
Thank you, Delasia! Reading thru these comments has me feeling like I'm in the twilight zone. How can people still take G.Laurie seriously after this?!
Even the Apostle Paul said " I must be all things to all men " ! To reach others for Christ .
Awesome! Amazing how God is using Greg to build bridges to Him!

Alice Cooper got his name through the Ouija board just like Marilyn Manson Marlin
No, he didn't
I saw the interview w Alice Cooper on the big screen at harvest fest in anaheim,angels stadium oct 2021 Greg Laurie puts on every year
Looks like a great book!
Question for alice cooper: why are you still dressing up and performing all your old unGodly songs, and not condemning it. Wheres your repentance and sanctification?? Shame on greg laurie..
What's wrong with dressing up? And where is the requirement that a Christian can only play Christian music? His repentance is in his salvation.

You people will buy anything. All he says is god. Nowadays you have to define terms. He never says the name of Jesus
I heard him mention Jesus several times.
Yes he knows the lord.
“You people”. Are you not a born-again Christ follower?☹️🙏🏼
God bless Pastor.

Elvis sang gospel songs, but that did not make him a Christian.
Is this what his behaviour is? I am confused. This reminds me of Matthew 24:24
💗

Why does it need to glorify God? He isn't a CCM artist.
Jim Carrey got saved.
I must have missed it
You build bridges to bring them the gospel not join them in their culture.

If Alice Cooper is a Christian, why hasn't his name and music changed?
Because they don't need to.
@@donmcc6573 then he needs to stop claiming to represent Christ Who said without holiness, no man shall see the LORD.
