Why Christians Should Not Try to Be Accepted by the World

[milknot4free]

I love him. People attack him because he is authentic and doesn't try to please everyone with propriety. He gives it to you straight. So what if you don't like it. You don't have to like him, just like he doesn't like gays. Free will.

[adamponeil]

I think it is good honest preaching, but some of the negative comments people posted are what he preaches about. They dont want to be seen as not "cool" to non christians, they call him names and think that is them being a christian. I think this video is great and covers the real truth people need to here because people want to be better christians but dont want to be told when they are doing wrong or need to change. I know I fall short of the glory of GOD! Keep Preaching Pastor.

He gets a lot of things tangled - but this is well-said. and needs to be said.

""I am an independent Baptist...I can do whatever I want."" - this could be tricky in practice. We are free in Christ, because we belong to Christ utterly - which makes us accountable to him, & therefore, to another. We are not free in Christ to be self-sufficient - because Christian freedom is for making us slaves of Christ.

[prairiemark]

"I am an independent Baptist...I can do whatever I want."  Where is Christian accountability? The problem with Fundamentalist Christianity is that it is all about trying to control others, and nothing about accountability. This joker recognizes no accountablility to any church authority. This type of religion is based on rebelion. It produces not only bad Christians, but bad citizens as well.

[frnzkuester]

this is good preaching.

[ethomfactusest]

this tit is satan's little helper

[jmcmonagle1]

What do you think about the illuminati? Would you like to stop them? If so, I am willing to go to my grave with you doing so. 304-415-1219

[Skippyjolly]

Thank God for faithful preaching! It is hard but needful for our generation!

Praise God for you.

[Playmeforit]

didnt this guy get caught going to mexico to fuck little boys? lmao well i bet damn well he isnt trying to be accepted by people. cuz fucking little kids wont get u accepted. what a piece of shit. religious people are psychos, thats why you wont be accepted, because you hold the world back from progression, your primitive beliefs are being ruled out, soon the new generation will put that dumb shit to rest and finally everyone will have a brain, its only a matter of time

[filoIII]

@Playmeforit i suppose you're a new ager who believes all those who are "holding up" the evolution of man should be taken out.

[Playmeforit]

@filoIII i am simply a person who believes that life on earth is precious. those who believe that when you die you are going to a better place seem to have some mental issue with the greatness of life on earth and so human progression may further preserve that life and do great things for all. but of course we have a roadblock with the religious psychos protesting anything newly discovered. i bet some cavemen protested fire too, ignorance is destruction

[ryecroft57]

A good clip. I also know people who have been going to church for years and have nary a clue what its denomination or beliefs are. They just like the worship music or the "fellowship," who cares if there's heresy coming from the pulpit? By the by, Aimee Semple McPherson started the FourSquare and she was also a liar and adulteress, disappearing with her paramour for days and then claiming she was kidnapped. A fascinating story that you think would have shut down her denomination, but alas, no.

[kalejut]

preacher anderson sucks dick before he preaches

[YoungBaptist07]

MAN!! such good preaching, I only wish England had more preachers like you, preachers with backbone.

Then maybe we could start seeing revivals.

Thanks for the encouragement. Pastor Anderson

Love in Christ

[rbaseball02]

AMEN!!!!

[davejaminproductions]

My name is Pastor Steven, my church is really lame. I got me two pianos. And they both look the same. I don't want to fit, and it works out I don't. Will I hire a decorator? They're all in hell, I won't! I hope heaven looks like, just like a whitewashed tomb. Cause thats the look I'm goin for, oh glory doom and gloom.

[asianmuzic4life]

oh and you say "no one is a good christian" for one thing, every one sins, sin seperates us from god. wow... ok, i could go on forever but anyways.. but if we repent to him then we might be saved, but remember, saved only through christ. so what your saying is very explanitory, some untrue, nice....... christ has only one church, his, the church of christ. there is no othere way to god but through the son christ. no other branches, but christs church.

[asianmuzic4life]

did you know that you can only be saved through christ? & christ alone? only chists church?why are you ashamed of the name christ & ashamed to preach the truth of christ? God says not to add nor take away(change) from the bible because god is the begginer and ending writter of the bible.... when changing it and preaching it wrong, you are not obeying, trusting.ect.. in god. its says that non are "good", only one was good -jesus- he did so if we TRUST & OBEY him we would be saved in/through him.

[celticlord88]

he should just kill himself and leave us in peace

[bones4610]

For God so love the ________

Hmmmmmm.......

[JarridWilson]

Your way of preaching is far off base.

Romans 12:2 Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

I put myself in situations with non-believers all the time to help show the love of Jesus Christ and how he has changed my life.

If you dont put yourself in situations with non-believer then Matthew 28:19 means nothing....

[OliveOilMed]

An unmedicated bipolar if I ever saw one.

Lithium. If God didn't want you to use it, He wouldn't have created it.

[cathytress]

JermarParker makes an excellent point and I totally agree with it. Pastor Anderson is not accepted because he speaks the truth and he is not of this world. God bless him. Preaching to hostile people with hardened hearts cannot be easy!

[JohntheGreat123]

i didnt know matthew fox did preaching part time

[sipes13]

This guy needs to start his own cult already and be responsible for mass suicide.

[raedeeohed]

I think Steven got his ass kicked a lot as a kid and now wants everyone to be as lonely as miserable as he was.

[MrLoveyourneighbor]

this man is ripe for a cult! this man isnt even accepted by christians!

I am glad he is speaking to an empty room!

this man is about as far from Jesus as east is to west...

[daveydisasterpieces]

...he's not trying to fit in? He is wearing a suit and tie like all the other hypocrites bible assholes!! Douche Bag.

[JermarParker]

by the comments on this video, everybodys rejecting steven anderson.

jesus said that if u followed him, that you would be rejected by the world

but hes a good preacher

[iesidne]

he knows the truth but he doesn't know how to approach the world and the lost.

[PaineLover]

This guy is creepy. I'm much more afraid of NUTS like him than any terrorists.

Anger, hate-filled, bible thumper. *shudder*

Keep it up, ignorant preacher. You're the Poster Boy for "How to Drive People Away and Into Atheism".

[jenlynemb]

people to you not from you. Jesus drew people to him by the way he lived and the love he showed to people not beating them over the head with a bible. We wonder by our children arent interested in God if you really stop to think you will figure it out. We are one generation away from a Godless nation only 4% of people 18 and younger are interested in the things of God. Christ loved and not judged as Christians we are to do the same.

[PiEMasteRrman]

yes, we know from the bible (luke 5:30-32) that Jesus hung out with sinners of all kinds. However, for people to simply just "let their life be the example" is not synonymous with the life that Jesus lead. For you to say that "Christian need to quit advertising that they are 'Christians'... " goes against what Jesus is recorded saying in the bible: Matthew 10:32 "If you tell others that you belong to me, I will tell my Father in heaven that you are my followers".

[jenlynemb]

1. to the love lord God with all your heart, soul and mind and 2nd which is as equally important love your neighbor as yourself. Christian need to quit advertising that they are "Christians" and just let their life be the example. If you are truly living to honor God Jesus did not beat people sinners down. I have friends that are not christian too you need to have both dont become all "holyer than thou" you were once a sinner too. Christian dont need saved the sinners do. Your life should draw

[jenlynemb]

I think this preacher is horrible! Why is he yelling? Jesus came to restore what was lost in the garden which was relationship with God. Jesus loved all and never accused or judged. The women at the well is a prime example. Jesus was excepted by the people until the Christians "the priest " are the ones who were out to get Jesus. Jesus came to this earth to restore relationship between man and God and not to establish a religion. Man did that. The most important commandments Jesus said was:

[OnTheFiringLine]

Your lack of understanding of the Bible is astounding! I will pray for you.

[redword2007]

Why is it that those with religious faith seem so self-obsessed?

[stevechase19]

yes, i do read the holy scriptures. go read about how jesus walked the earth and who he reached out to.

[stevechase19]

do you have any idea how jesus lived? do you have any concept of him. this pastor is so ignorant and so mislead, probably cause he has no other friends telling him that he is messed up in his teachings. Just in case anyone cares to know, Jesus spent heaps of his time hanging out with the gamblers robbers prostitutes and to put it frankly... the sinners. because he cared about people. This pastor is so far gone it scares me.

[aethiops007]

Do you read the holy scriptures? He is RIGHT!!!

[Warppig]

What you say is true. Of course, Jesus still wasn't accepted anyway.

[cyxgun]

I thought for just a minute that this guy was the doctor from Lost.

[gneisenau321]

Lolz

[pimadave]

All degenerents like to follow religions that let you get high. I am a full blooded Pima & Mohave Indian, and a SAVED BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN!. I am a true "old red indian" So dont tell me all religions started from drugs. Only FALSE religions and mostly "wanna-be" Indians, partake in the so called, "Native religion". Go to any reservation and you will see most real indians are saved christians, because they heared the gospel and beleived on Jesus Christ. Its that simple.

[gneisenau321]

Cool. :)

[tallswede80]

Amen, brother.

[filoIII]

@pimadave don't know what reservation you're from, but those on the white earth reservation in MN are wicked, and have only been really introduced to catholicism, which is a cult.

[Conail23]

@pimadave, dude, thats good stuff bro! My famly's been ministering on an indian reservation for many years, and it is true, a lot of tribes have a great Christian heritage! And also, a lot of whites into the "new age" stuff are wannabe Indians and its foolish and even insulting to native americans. Peace.

[jesusislord10777]

@pimadave YOUR WORDS ARE BEAUTIFULL , MAY GOD BLESS YOU

GREETINGS FROM ARGENTINA!

IM A SPANISH/INDIAN THATS BORN AGAIN!

HOPE YESU COMES SOON

[adamponeil]

@pimadave AMEN!!!

[InDiCa420SaTiV0]

did you know that ALL religions including Christianity was based offf of visions induced by magic mushrooms and sacred herbs? along with every other hallucinogen known to man including morning glory seeds? all things given to us by whom God.. Yep... so how much history do you think you know? why dont you listen to the old red indians about whom Wachova was mr. baptist

[InDiCa420SaTiV0]

lol... fagets arent accepted by the world,.. so whats your point? the kids that shot up columbine werent accepted by the world... thats why they shot everyone up..

[davew209]

well i dont agree with you saying faggots arent accepted by the world. they make up less than 3 percent of US population and the tv is full of positive representations of them, you will never seen a faggot portrayed negitivly on tv. But you will also never see an Evangelical portrayed positivly either, its always negative and they make up 46 percent of US population. So again, faggots are accepted by the world, Christians arent.

[tallswede80]

Are you kidding me? Queer eye for the straight guy is, (or was, I never watched it ) a popular show.

[bornanewchristian]

The Spirit of God is moving and inspiring people to conform their lives to the Messiah Yeshua, commonly referred to as Jesus Christ. Keep preaching the truth because the broad path is not worth it.

[mandybernard72]

you are a really good preacher. thank you, you are an encouragement to me. Keep preaching for God. God will bless you for it.

Love in Christ,

Mandy
