@@InspiralJez Most are not called to be preachers and pastors. Most of us are just called to be the light in the lives of those who are naturally around us, not to preach to the world.

And John Piper, don't forget him.

Lord raise up men and women of God amongst and out of the rabble on high school and college and higher ed, and those who are opting to avoid the HE debt and are growing up in Christian and non Christian families. Sanctify a people for yourself Father, through your spirit, to the praise of your son.

Sounds like a good plan!

In a sense, sure. Appreciate that you clearly identified what really matters in your ideological possession. The death of Christ is really an afterthought in Calvinism, which has no good news for anybody - in Calvinism the so-called elect are never in any real danger of condemnation and the plight of the reprobate is hopeless as (the Calvinistic caricature of) God is not interesting in giving them the gnostic spark of pre-faith regeneration. Not only is there no good news, there is no news - it was all decided way back when. The only thing that matters to an individual is whether or not calvigod elected them, or, as you say profoundly, "God chose me." Persuading others is a superfluous exercise - doesn't matter one way or the other. I know, "God uses means" which means "it all works out somehow."

Absolutely. Your job I encourage you is to never stop confessing. Never stop going back because God will always forgive you. You should be afraid when you've stopped confessing and have completely been overtaken by your sin. That's when you fear. But the fact that you fear now, is good. It's a sign. Continue going to God. Our job will be to pray for you, your job is to continue going back to God if you do sin. God be with you.

This is what i do, I intentionally draw closer to God through prayer and studying of scripture. The more you draw closer to God, you draw away from sin or backsliding

Glory in your suffering brother. Thank God that He loves you enough to not allow you to stay in your current state. He is building you to able to dwell with Him in His kingdom. We are the clay....He is the potter. Thank God for the gift that nobody wants, pain. Romans 5

7 days later and there is STILL no response to me on your channel about whether your church help you yet.

Stay faithful to Jesus. Read your bible and pray. He will take care of you. He is the 'father to the fatherless, a defender of widows and orphans' Isaiah 68:5

I needed to hear your struggle and faith journey today. I’ve been unable to work for a year now, and am trying to get ssdi which is an uphill battle. My homeschooling wife has had to take a factory job to make ends meet till we hopefully are approved for my disability. Bless you in Jesus’ name in your faith struggle/walk/limp. He has been faithful to meet our needs, but not always our wants. He probably does this to keep/force us to depend on his amazing grace and steadfast love. Thank you for sharing.

I thought the sermon was excellent, but was shocked and disappointed by several outbursts of applause near the end. This is a time when born again believers should be in silent prayer that others be moved to make a decision for Christ, not applauding the preacher like it was a theatre production. Dave E., Calgary

​@@jefandorkarinbuzzard6788 God bless you, though He doesn't "force", it is His will that not one is lost. All must come to a point and each must decide whom you shall Serve today. Read Matthew chapter 4.

If you want to see the fruit then open your eyes.

@@HearGodsWord Why is he upset while preaching? Swinging with hands? Is being upset fruit of the Spirit?

@@milandejanovic7872 he wasn't upset, but it seems you might be.

@@HearGodsWord Alright, I trust you. I see your discernment.

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@HearGodsWordI do trust your discernment bro. Anyone criticizing Steve Lawson’s preaching in this sermon does not have the spirit of Christ in my opinion. Romans 8:9.

Your comment seemed like a broken pencil...pointless

@@HearGodsWord Hahahahahaha!

We should always be praying.

@@MultiTacs yes, to our Father who is in secret. Not in the comment section of KZfaq. Where's that written?

@@MultiTacs why are people 'praying' in the KZfaq comments anyhow? To be seen? But see if they meant it, they'd pray to God who is in Secret as The Lord teaches us because that is genuine. If that's hard for you to understand, then Jesus isnt for you.

And yet many folks still don't get it.

You wouldn't believe how often we forget my friend

There you are.

Interesting. A word not found in the Bible can be the emphasis of a long sermon.
