Francis Chan - Is it wrong to wear jeans? - Freedom in Christ

Francis Chan, in his message "Grace, Grace, Grace", talks about the freedom we have in Christ. Not to listen to man made rules, or doctrines, and not to listen to voices who say to do this or that, but only listen to what GOD has taught you in His Word.

*NOTE: The remark about his pants being unzipped was from the beginning of the service his pants were unzipped and someone told him, so he zipped them back up. It was quite funny, you can find this message and more at...

I love how one of the tags is bald....lol...but this was a huge encouragement to me. I'm adding it to my favs.

@cutecupkait Ha, yeah that came from when I hear people describe him as the Bald Chinese Preacher Guy :P

@jinu03 1) Before the message began someone informed him his fly was open and he zipped it up; people laughed, he was referring to that. 2) The Bible shows disgust at people who dress up, but shows modesty is the only code Yahweh has. 3) Listen to his whole message at the cornerstonesimi page under media and messages. "Grace grace grace". You'll see your comment is misplaced. 4) This man has done more for this planet that any of us has probably even done in our community, show some respect.

Francis Chan brought me back to God. I had fallen away from my Father. I reluctantly attended a service at Cornerstone. This man showed me in 1 hour what I should've seen over the last 12 years. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. JESUS IS MY SAVIOR. I truly believe God put me at that church at that time to hear that life-saving message. Francis Chan, I sincerely thank you for leading me back to my Savior. Jodana Sykes

@mikebarnes1976 cont.. And yes, He does know our hearts. He even says what He thinks of our hearts in the Bible, "The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked." Jer. 17

[mikeyboy86]

@mikebarnes1976 My Dad is not the Creator of all things, including the Torah, the Holy Instructions that we are all commanded to live according to. So he is irrelevant in this case. YHWH COMMANDED us to proclaim His name, and to call out to His NAME for salvation. Religious? No, not in this case. I'm being obedient. If you'll persecute me for that, then thank you. I want to call Him what HE wants to be called, not what I feel like He'll forgive me for calling Him.

[mikebarnes1976]

@mikeyboy86

Lord in the bible is adonai in Hebrew. Yes, LORD and GOD int he KJV is Yahweh. But let's not get all religious. Your father has a proper name but do you call him by that? NO, you call him father, dad, daddy, and so on. He knows our heart when we call on Him but whatever title we use.

[mikeyboy86]

@hunter7754 And that's my point. God, and "The LORD", isn't His name. The Bible was changed by the "early church fathers" because they didn't want people saying or knowing the true name of the Almighty. So anytime you see GOD or LORD in all caps in your Bible, that's where they changed it from YHWH to that. The Bible says, "Anyone who calls on the name of YHWH shall be saved." Not "The LORD or GOD", but YHWH (pronounced YHWH). Baal means "Lord". I'll let you put the pieces together.

@mikeyboy86

i pray to God

why?

[mikeyboy86]

@hunter7754 Nooo, not at all.

Let me ask, when you pray, who do you pray to? What do you call Him?

[mikeyboy86]

@hunter7754 The "traditions" Yahshuah refers to here is called takanot. It's phariseeism. Still practiced today by the Pharisees and several orthodoxy jews. Has nothing to do with dressing modestly as a command. And in Your other comment on "Joy in the morning" and all... This is the difference between documentary and commentary. This was a song of praise written in King David's own memoirs. I was a personal song of praise directed, not at believers, but to YHWH, the Almighty.
