The latest word I've come to despise due to overuse, is 'winsome'. If you refuse to tell someone the truth because you think it mean and unloving, then you can be accused of hating them. The truth can set someone free if you're man enough, loving enough to tell them rather than being a gutless 'winsome' eunuch.
Pastor Craig Chambers here. Former Evangelical Free Church of America (EFCA) ordained. Former because I finally woke up to the winsome leaders who say one thing and do quite another. It has been a difficult year after many decades. I am so sorry I was shrouded. Beyond the church I pastor, I have been answering all my email from those who do not even realize how much they are suffering from the love leaders who have made them feel bizarre for believing the Word of God.
Hi Craig, EFCA insurrectionist here who helped a church replace a woke pastor. I see the denomination heading south but there is at least one example of a church righting the ship. Btw the pastor wasn't a bad guy at all he was being manipulated.
@@michaelscheib7693 Brother, I think most of those in the churches I have shepherded (over 18 years in the current EFCA one, 8 in the last EFCA, 2.5 in the Baptist one before that, and 5 years in my first EFCA, licensed/ordained EFCA in all) would consider me a 'good' pastor; indeed, my intentions were always good. But in reality, I was not a 'bad' guy but was a deficient pastor, swallowing the 'love' pill to remove the infection of my conscience telling me that the pragmatism, though not practicing that myself, was so obvious in my associations and accommodations allowed on the believers I was shepherding. Thanking God for the fruit in spite of that, and the mercy shown to me now in the revelation to my soul concerning it all.
So many lives and marriages destroyed by a false gospel of “Love” which has no teeth and isn’t obedient to scripture, doesn’t put God first, and couches sin with soft talk. In order to actually love, you MUST HATE!
@@craigchambers4183 oh yes, pragmatism and seeker sensitive Christianity is to be rejected completely. "Love" is telling the cancer patient plainly that he has cancer.
I’m an Australian, all our local churches shut down, common was the Romans 13 twisting of scripture & love your neighbour taken out of context spiel…. I honestly think if I forwarded this to any of my pastors I would be brought before The Sanhedrin and disciplined. We in Australia are unfortunately led by cowards and consequently the congregations are only as strong as their leaders.
Doug is so sharp. I feel like school is making me dumb and Doug is out here with his heart on his chest with a clenched fist by his side. Thankful for you, this is very very encouraging
Awesome commentary. So that’s what’s wrong with evangelical leaders. They want love not war with the culture, but crucify their own with little hesitation.
Walking through the last three years has made my heart so very heavy. I still can not fathom how so many actually have no faith whatsoever that went to church. This has been quite an apocalypse on so many levels it confounds me that so many are still being led around by the nose of the state run media. They can’t see, they have no eyes whatsoever. Be well. Never posted before I enjoy your commentary and share much of your sentiment. Thank you
Thanks for the Canon goodies. And thank you for this message. Churches have now gone back to busy programs and activities. It's like the last 2 years never happened. No apologies. No repentance. Nothing. Just... move on. I can't. I am still broken.
The prayer of Daniel was a national repentance. He prayed for his people - even if the people didn't recognize their sin. This is how we should pray. I've dropped out of my prayer group for this very reason because my prayer was for them, "forgive US OUR sin" but they wanted to pray for the needs of the church - like a new roof and various physical needs. All important, but missing the point of the so-called "pandemic" and the subsequent closing of our churches because the new "god" - the State, said we must do so; and big Eva said we must do so because that is showing "love to our neighbors". We MUST move on - even if no one else does. We are NOT broken, because Christ is Lord of All and WILL be praised!
Yes and amen! A word of wisdom for us who are desiring to be faithful to all of God's counsel and use stern language: Measure twice, cut once. You can always go back and cut something that'd needed more off, but you can't undo a plank cut too short. Let our words be equipped with knowledge and discernment (Phil 1:9), so that we have the right target!
Brother, I've been fighting for many years. I've grown weary at times but this has given me conviction. I cannot quit the fight because I cannot stop loving.
We aren't called to fight though if you interrupte Daniel's dreams correctly. Christian's are meant to die on this world...if you live properly as Jesus did you will be resurrected when he returns. We fight on our knees praying
Needed this I just had a conversation with a family member, telling me I need to be more loving, just because I asked a question concerning someone's doctrine.
Too true...living in the PNW during neutral Christianity and into negative Christianity has been disorienting. Enjoying the current revival/winnowing that's forcing allegiences all around us. The Lord's been good to me and my family... Doug, for me, went from interesting "fringe" to dead center. Thank you for the work of broadcasting the straight and narrow when it wasn't fashionable.
The religion of nice. Actually, I have Christian friends whose liberal beliefs have become their religion due to this thinking. Even trying to convert me to get the covid shot and vote for Biden.🤦 I wish they had that much passion for saving people's souls!
I hate to be the bearer of bad news Lorraine, but in the year 2022, there is no such creature as a ‘Liberal Christian’…also no such creature as a Christian Democrat…the words ‘liberal’ and ‘Democrat’ have both been hijacked by the Radical Left, and their meanings are now tied to atheistic Marxism….your ‘friends’ may be liberal, but they are by no means Christian…Peace of Christ be upon you…
1 John 5:2-3 ...By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.... 2 Chronicles 7:14 ...If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land...... Repent from breaking God's Laws, turn back to God in obedience following Jesus, and Fight on your knees for others!
I wonder if Piper would like to have back his comments to Doug at Ligonier. you know, based on events since then proving that Doug had it all right about the culture and where it was headed
Agreed, many pastors care nothing for their congregations when church members are threatened by illegal mandates. Where is their love when that happens? They are in it for themselves. Very thankful I personally have an excellent pastor who cares for the flock very well.
I agree with Doug. The problem with effeminate, weak Christianity is the focus on “love” which has become a complete and total joke. Catholics correctly understood that Christ the King is the highest devotion a Christian can acknowledge. The key going forward is not a bland message on love but a message of power. Christ the King expects submission and fear.
This is so completely a misunderstanding of the kingship of Christ. This sounds like some Marc Driscoll statement coming straight out of Mars Hill. Im not denying the wrath of god or the authority of king Christ or any such thing - but gods love is not a secondary consideration. It is the primary driving force of all that he does, as are all his attributes. Note, kingship is not an attribute of his, it is a title and role.
What is love? Baby don’t hurt me. But in all seriousness, love is doing what is best for the subject of one’s affection. Sometimes it is calling them to repentance and other times it is holding and consoling them. Please be prayerful as to how to love your neighbor. The spirit, not your heart, will be a faithful guide.
Though, I find an irony, since declaring Christ King would itself be an act of devotion, and an act of devotion is an act of love. Even in this very statement, devotion itself wouldn’t even be devotion if it didn’t have love. Also, God isn’t simply loving, nor does He merely love, love is not merely a characteristic of God, instead, God *is* love.
Since the 1990’s I’ve been watching the seeds, and now the fruit of what I started calling “Gracism”, or “Niceism”, as if God only has one attribute, and we believers should only exhibit one trait.
There's a difference between not getting into a fight you can afford to lose and walking around with a chip on your shoulder. My experience with fundamentalists, many of whom are friends and people I admire, is this tendency toward combativeness. I'm repelled by folks who see disagreement as moral failure. Cancel culture was invented by the fundamentalist church.
“ sometimes lynch mobs get the right guy” made me laugh .We are in a battle. I no longer worry about being called names. Yesterday I was called a bigoted prick because I said that homosexuality is sin. Voddie Baucham has said that we must love God first before we can authentically love others. It is not love to let people go to eternal death while smiling and nodding but reform and regeneration also begins with self lest we are hypocrites. Jesus was good but not always nice.
@@jls0037cslewis1 You cannot make blanket statements or accusations about EVERY evangelical. And your reference to girls gone wild is very telling about you.
@@recalltolife3478 it's the last days, Christian women don't obey the bible. The bible plainly says Christian women are to cover their heads, be silent (no voting), be keepers at home, and obey their husband's. Christ is about to come back and it is fair to say most christians are horrible, just as foretold in the bible. Laodicia. Christians in these last days need to he told how horrible they are. Indeed, the average Christian woman in these last days is a harlot. It is the last day Christian culture.
Evangelicalism is failing, and a more biblically adherent, full scripture believing, set apart from Babylon movement is emerging. One that believes the Torah in light of Christ's finished Salvation work, recognizes YAH's Days are theologically critical commands and not suggestions, rejects compromise, and understands that being set apart is the best evangelist method. Being "relevant" has made evangelicals irrelevant. We need to finish what the reformers started and fight for the belief handed down to us from the Apostles and witnesses. The repentance of many hangs in the balance.
Strong words. I think I would probably agree with him, but he doesn't name the people he is talking about. Please excuse my ignorance, but who are these "evangelical leaders"?
Honest question. Is there any severity of pandemic/illness/etc. where it would make sense to abstain from gathering corporately? Or is even asking that question point to a lack of faith in God's provision/protection to sustain us in our obedience to His command to not cease to gather?
Of course there are reasons not to gather corporately. If the church building is on fire, don't go in there. There's nothing wrong with that. Martin Luther, for example, encouraged people to avoid places infected with the plague. He sent his family away from danger but he himself stayed to pastor. If, on the other hand, the government says that the saints should not gather because studies from nameless experts in white coats show an increased risk of fire if there's a cross on the roof, and they've said this for week after week while the faithful gatherings have noticed a distinct lack of smoke and heat, then we should not believe them. That's the lesson we should all have learned from the great pandemic of fear. Don't trust a wicked secular government - they are liars.
@@dotwarner17 That's interesting. Can you please point me to your source? From what I have read "Bring out your dead" seemed to be the only "gathering" going on.
@@recalltolife3478 That's the claim that Catholics gave me back when I was still regularly on Facebook. I haven't really looked into church history during that period but I imagine that, like COVID, it varied on region w.r.t. what churches stayed open and what churches closed her doors.
@Blog & Mablog Doug this is your channel you really shouldn't be afraid to speak your mind. 2:40 why didn't you tell us how you really feel? I believe you were trying to be nice and holding back what you really wanted to say. So be bold!! It''s your channel you don't have to be nice!
It's greed and they are fake. That's why it fell apart. That's why they're losing followers. It's not because they made a mistake in that they follow. They've always been following after sin and using the blood of Jesus to justify it. They call themselves Christians and do not live for Christ. Obedience to God is not their purpose for living. They are actors, and so, when persecution or suffering comes, they fall away.
Please be specific about WHO "Big Eva" is. It sounds like you are conflating mainline denominations with all evangelicals. Are you referring to the PCA? The SBC? Who? Names. We want names. None of this dancing around.
Doug, are you comparing fighting gay marriage with a physical violent attack? You are mixing up fighting with love and so how should we "fight" the gays and secularists?
One power controls your mind good or evil so laugh at bough you support being mental created by you does obey I AM so your just what you think. No one lost will freak flesh and bloods zero inherent facts does have greatness but Least until you start to wake from saved flesh and blood that returns to dirt, Paul did call it dung. So judging is your infintion and you must feel correct over yourselves mind still needing to judge is flesh still loving saved to feed dirt. Neville Goddard teaching like Paul also reminded you Christ IN YOU put hides good from judges.

Please be specific about WHO "Big Eva" is. It sounds like you are conflating mainline denominations with all evangelicals. Are you referring to the PCA? The SBC? Who? Names. We want names. None of this dancing around.
Ain’t nobody dancing. He’s mentioned names before.
@@cedarheartfilms1032 Who are they?
Gospel Coalition types, Russel Moore, some in the PCA like Keller, others on the SBC
@@cedarheartfilms1032 That's it?
@@recalltolife3478 you can do your own research. You know the answer
Doug, are you comparing fighting gay marriage with a physical violent attack? You are mixing up fighting with love and so how should we "fight" the gays and secularists?
Doug stoned tone ...
One power controls your mind good or evil so laugh at bough you support being mental created by you does obey I AM so your just what you think. No one lost will freak flesh and bloods zero inherent facts does have greatness but Least until you start to wake from saved flesh and blood that returns to dirt, Paul did call it dung. So judging is your infintion and you must feel correct over yourselves mind still needing to judge is flesh still loving saved to feed dirt. Neville Goddard teaching like Paul also reminded you Christ IN YOU put hides good from judges.
The reading thing... not good.

Am I missing something?? Why speak in terms of generalities regaurding groups of leaders as opposed to naming names.
Because names change but the deplorable human condition outside Christ stays the same
My thoughts exactly. Doug dances around and around....why can't he be more forthcoming.
@@erastusamaechi9977But Doug tars EVERY evangelical with his brush. He should be specific instead of pussyfooting around.
