Some people play music. Some people sing. The good Lord has blessed this man to speak. I could listen to him indefinitely. Praise God for good faithful ministers of the Word

I was raised in a Devout Christian family baptized at twelve but at 75 I’m still a Child of God in progress. My heart saddens when I think of all the ways I’ve hurt MY Lord and Savior but He is still forgiving me and growing me..PRAISE His precious name🙏🙏🙏…Thank you for your ministry

[juliemarseglia]

My sistah Christian would say to me, "God only wants you to be happy. Do you really think he would keep things from you that would make you happy." Reading the Bible...uh yeah, yeah I do.

My Life-giving-changing moment occurred when I read the words of Jesus:
"In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."
John 16:33

[SunblushStarfish]

This was my "life verse" when I was born again in wild Charismania Churchdom back in 2000 all the way until 2017 when I came out of the NAR, Prosperity, Word of Faith, garbage. I said AMEN. It was not written for me. I was not there. That is not my life verse anymore. I don't have one. I have spent the last 7 years 'relearning' the Bible and getting taught what scripture actually says and actually means.

[libbydressel]

I never could swallow the prosperity interpretation of these verses and now I know why. I thank the Holy Spirit for giving me the discernment.

I'm from South Africa...what a revelation to my brothers and sisters in the brother Vaudie, giving us a message of so much hope for your nation, and that will set us free.

[drintx]

The plan GOD has for me for a future and a hope is an ETERNAL promise, not a promise for this earthly life.

[me-ycgr]

This man is a true servant of the LORD.
He reminded me that at my best I don't live up to GOD'S standards.
Humility not pride is the way to approach GOD.
JESUS paid the price for our sin. To come to GOD depending on our good works would be eternally fatal.
"LEST ANY MAN SHOULD BOAST."
Faith in the finished work of JESUS is the only way.

[thdisciple]

That's the issue. Studying the Bible to understand and discern context, principles and promise. It's a diligent study. You can't just read the Bible. It's a simple complex instrument.

[Jasonthepartydude]

I remember when I met him at that conference and I told him I need a picture of him because both my mom and my friend wanted one and he goes, "Yea, of course!"

Voddie Baucham, a manly and kind hearted pastor with a powerful preaching skills from our Lord.

[roku]

I can tell a lot of you all in the comments are new to his preaching but he’s been doing this for a long time. God bless you all. Truly.

[aprilholton]

This world needs more people like Mr. Bauchman who isn't intimidated with telling the truth!! I applaud him and would love to go to his church. This world is getting more evil by the day. Christians need to find and use their voices as God intended while we are here as His vessels.
God bless you all going forward

[focusvenesa]

I pray more Bible teachers rightly divide the Word of Truth. Context is key!

Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

[DerekBonoby]

I am never good enough for God but God is merciful thank you father

[serolf.h]

VODDIE !!!! DANG THIS IS THANK YOU LORD FOR FAITHFUL MEN WHO LOVE YOUR WORD

[neilw]

I was born and grew up in Zambia 🇿🇲 what a beautiful country and friendly God-fearing people. What an uplifting sermon full of truth.

[filled.with.wonder]

As a babe in Christ I clung to this verse. Coming out a hopeless and desolate past, this verse showed me that God did have a future and a plan for my life. Somehow I knew that all the bad I had been through was a part of the blessing He had for me. That even though I had been living the way I was, I had hope in Him for my future. He had it secured. I had no idea the what context was!!
And now, as I have matured, I don’t pick scriptures and use them out of context. We learn and we learn to do better. My deeper understanding of scripture and God’s love shown through Jesus dying for us gives me so much more hope and greater joy. Oh and learning to see Christ through the OT in types and shadows! We have to grow in our knowledge as we mature. It must become less about us and more about Him. Less about how we feel and more about what we know.
