“ A Bold, Direct Message! ” This message was what I needed to hear. As a person growing up, who was told that I was bipolar and chemically imbalanced, with no knowledge of the gospel yet alone God,or who He was or what He can do. So I clung to self medicating, and drove myself further into a downward spiral of brokenness. I am blessed that God removed the veil through Voddie Baucham in this message about growing psychology/psychiatry ideologies that are being implanted into today's culture. When there is no proof of any kind of testing to these "Syndromes" or "disorders" they are idealist, they sit around a table and look at a broad spectrum of people who have some living in life issues,and give it a name, and give them a drug hoping for their hypothesis is right. But you can't give a drug to a person who life is broken do to sin. On top, when you neglect the fact humans are made up of spirit, soul, and body. But instead of treating sin with the gospel leading them to repentance, you just say their life and their issues are not fair, what they experience isn't fair, here come take a pill and feel better. This is lunacy, and ignorant. This message deals with sin, and the consequences of it, on top of this message going into detail about actual mental problems, on top of actual health problems such as real li
“ Great Sermon! Mind transforming! ” So grateful for this app that I can listen to Voddie. He challenges my life. I pray Gods hand on His life,, that God continue to use Him. Thank you Voddie for being a faithful servant. Can you email me Voddies speaking schedule? I know he comes to NJ and I'd love to see and hear him in person. Thanks in advance,,
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank you Voddie! The Egyptians held me captive since a child. I've been delivered from a dark place and they always seem to chase after me. I prayed for faith to hold on. God only knows how hard it is to do so. I so deserve his wrath. For some reason outside of my faith in him he continues to pursue me with his love and mercy. I've been recording a new Gospel album and have been so ready to run from him because of my wretchedness. After my prayer he answered with this sermon. Thank you for your obedience. I doubt his love for me despite his many deliverances in my life. Please remember me in your prayers.
“ More questions than answers ” Though Mr.Baucham brings basic and important truths about the topic, broad general statements are not sufficient to cover the specifics of the varied spectrum of mental illnesses.
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank You!! A timely sermon for me as I recently befriended a new believer battling with depression. I always thought I was not qualified to help them but by God’s grace through this timely exposure to this knowledge, I am now empowered by the Holy Spirit and the word of God !!!! I can only say our all knowing God - His mercy and love - words cannot eve. Begin to describe.
“ Great Sermon! ” I just want to concur with others in this section. You don't know who I am and I'm not saying this is strong evidence for discontinuing medication, but I've struggled for most of my life, years with depression and anxiety. This sermon marked a turning point in my life, nearing the end of many years of taking SSRIs and SNRIs to try to treat my depression and anxiety. For a long time, I held on to those medications, not just hoping that they were treating my anxiety or depression but clinging to them, unwilling to see how I would feel if I tried not taking them, because I believed that discontinuing them would lead to far worse effects. Medications and psychotherapy did not change my behavior or sanctify my thoughts. It took God's sanctifying grace to make Him the object of my desire and the desire to obey him that eventually motivated me to change. I couldn't find it in this world as a beaten down individual who had long been alienated by his peers throughout school, exacerbating my anxiety, depression, and further isolating myself from society. Eventually, I discontinued psychotropic medications and although I still struggle with depression and anxiety, I can't point to medications as having made me better other than notably turning me into an individual with flattened affect.
“ COLOSSAL SERMON. MASSIVE KNOWLEDGE ” This was a massive sermon. I struggled hugely with Schizoaffective disorder simce 2010 or 2011. You wont believe what happened to me. I dont take my medicines anymore. I am so so much healthy amd never been as fit. I aint saying u should quit too
What i say is that please please please please cling on to God.
What problem is so huge that you cant fix it by prayer? Seek His grace.
I was a huge smoker
I quit smoking only through prayers. It happened on nov 18 2017. You could never see anyone who smoked like me
Dont be discouraged. God answers all of your prayers and He is a generous God.
The sermon was amazing. And pastor, you are a man of great knowledge, wisdom, heart and character
It was an awesome sermon.
“ Great Sermon! ” Thank you Pastor Baucham
for taking a stand on this subject.
Your message was TRUTH!
Please pray for our son.
For 2 years we have been dealing with our adult son being on psychotropic drugs for what the world calls schizophrenia.
“ Great Sermon! ” This was the best message/sermon I've ever heard on marriage and Christianity. It touched my spirit and soul. I shared it with my husband. I hope it touches his spirit and soul as well. Enough to come home.
“ Great Sermon! ” Its so clearly laid down in scripture but just how do so many college educated, seminary trained and pulpit experienced pastors don't believe or just avoid the doctrine of Election (including my own pastor)?
“ Outstanding and inspiring ” Wow! Outstanding, challenging and inspiring sermon on the seriousness of marriage and the absolute truth that Divorce is NEVER an option for the Christian and shouldn’t be for any married couple
It saddens me and deeply distresses me that there are ministers who advocate and support the so called get out clause to believers should they feel they have the right to end a marriage for adultery, abandonment and physical abuse from their spouse. Historically and in the New Teatament there is No such thing as legitimate divorce ever. Jewish betrothal yes for the reason of immortality but never when married in the absolute legal sense and before the Lord. Pastors who advocate the get out clause should search their hearts and the scriptures in order that thwy come back to the Permanance of Marriage view for the Lords glory and for this amazing one and for all union between a man and a woman, as it beautifully represents the the everlasting union between Christ (Our Spouse) and (all believers) His bride. For who God has joined together let no man put asunder
“ Great Sermon! ” Please read 'Footsteps of the Messiah' by A. Fruchtenbaum. I think it will help anyone wondering which approach to take (?) to understand the value of Revelation is to order the events already revealed in the old testament leading up to the 2nd Coming. With over 550 references to OT Prophecy this is pretty obvious - once pointed out! The general approach taken by the speaker is only taken (in my opinion) when there is no detailed line upon line study (an approach we take in every other book but often neglected in Revelation). Therefore what is left is a simplistic interpretation to basically make people feel good that God is in control. Yes He is. But that somplistic view is such a shadow it is completely unsatisfactory for anyone who has studied in detail. Again...read the book. That will open doors to what in the end is Gods agenda. Far more important than ours. God bless.
