The Real Reason Christians Are So Disliked

I want to share the tool that I use when I’m preparing sermons, writing, or studying the Bible.
______________
Why do Christians often get labeled as fake and hypocritical?
In this episode, John and Arden dive deep into the widespread hypocrisy infecting the church. They expose how false teachers and prophets have subtly spread destructive teachings, leading many believers to fall short of the very values they claim to uphold.
Tune in to discover how to embody a faith that’s not only real and genuine, but also powerfully compelling to those around you.

John Bevere is so underrated. I feel his messages have always been so genuine and needed.

I went 40 years as a "Christian" without ever reading the Bible for myself. A year ago I was convicted to read it for myself and my life has changed so much. The biggest thing that God has done for me is take away my anxiety and depression. I used to have to take medication to leave my house for longer than an hour, now I no longer need medication and I am excited to travel and go places and I have peace every day. It is so important and literally life giving to read the word for yourself. I started with the New Testament and then read the Old Testament and am doing so again right now. I get something new out of it every day and God is faithful to reveal himself through his word.

I absolutely love how both proclaim the Word and make it relevant. Arden’s statement about taking the name of God in vain by professing relationship with Christ but living in a worldly manner was profound AND anointed 🙌

[leanonme]

*As Christians, our Job is to bring people to Jesus not to push them away from Him*
*Unfortunately, hypocrisy in our lives push sinners away from Christ*

[Cowwy]

This is an example of father and son conversation.
Peaceful. One speaks, the other listens. No one speak over another.
Great conversation!

[TeresaRomero-iuhv]

I struggled with a sin issue the past year. The entire time I confessed it as sin. I knew I was separated spiritually from hearing God clearly. But I read my Bible and prayed daily. It is best to be in prayer, fellowship and the word. Sin is serious and should not be taken lightly
even by devout, struggling christians. It is best to not practice sin, identify it as sin and repent and confess. Do not give up God hears and knows a sincere heart.

Loved Ardens comment about taking the Lord‘s name in vain
🤯

[teresanunn]

As someone who was married for over 25 years, and had my “Christian” husband leave me for a “Christian” woman, I think honoring the vows you made and upholding the covenant of marriage, is certainly one way Christians can show their authenticity, love and obedience to Yashua, as well as modeling what a Christ centered marriage should be.

[TroyBlack]

Wow 😮. I can’t believe someone taught that verse in that way. 😭 that hurts to hear. Thank you both for addressing this issue.

[gilbertcarrasco]

I am currently reading The Awe of God and it's eye opening we need the fear of the Lord. Thank you John Bevere God bless you

[ericacook]

So good ! Thank you both for sharing the truths of Gods Word where so many others won’t .

[CrummieDanishLyfe]

This has helped me TREMENDOUSLY. I had decided not to vote because I'm FULLY aware of who is really in control. But you have really given me some really valid points on other ways my vote can serve God's kingdom.

I literally was just in conversation with God just before he shared your video, asking Him what is all of this about and how I should move.

Thank you Lord!

[MistyLooney]

God spoke to me to read Jude 3 yrs ago. I read this over and over. I understood the message, but not sure how to recognize those the scripture was describing.
Shortly after my heart went to studying the fruits of the spirit. I wasn’t sure why my focus was so strong in this area, but I see how it has helped me to see the fruits of Christians. It has also helped me to seek the Holy Spirit to correct things in my own life that wasn’t bearing good fruit. Psalms 139;23 David ask God to search him.
Thank you both for teaching on this subject. Relevant for our time.

[JesusizmyLordandSavior]

This is exactly why my dad rejects Jesus. I’m witnessing through service and God is drawing my family to ask questions. My yes is “yes” and my no is “no”. God is leading and I’m amazed but also so nervous at the same time! Letting Him speak though my actions, I’m coming under fire, but it’s ok!

[hillbillygeorg]

THIS!! Is one of the most important messages to us all, all over the world! Thank you so much!

[phillipkimbro]

Love your teachings, love messenger X. Your book the bait of Satan helped transform my life. Thank BEVERE family for your faithfulness!!!

[helperg-ktgw]

I wish I wasn’t so poor 😢. Put I praise God for who he is, and all the many many blessings he given me

[lynniec]

I remember the first time i read the bible cover to cover over a full year, was when my eyes opened to who God is and His ways. And I remember I had a fire that burned because i realised in the church i was serving in, that many people do not really know God. They were simply going to church and doing the "good Christian" duties, but never opening the word of God for themselves. They Know about God, but they didn't KNOW HIM. It's shocking. Leaders should be teaching the importance of reading the bible and getting to know God on their own.

[richardtheron]

Thank you Yahweh for working through John Bevere and thankyou John for your amazing teachings ... I am in South Africa and was at the Christian Family Church when you spoke on the "Fear of the Lord" ... You make thing so easy to understand and your energy is just so motivating ... May the Lord Bless you and Keep you as you continue to teach on so many platforms ... Thank You ... Elmarie

I’d love to see churches start educating people of all ages on the fact that marriage is designed to be a reflection of Christ and the church, instead of the world’s misguided idea that it’s merely a contract agreeing to keep each other happy. It is a COVENANT between husband and wife before God to do life TOGETHER! It’s not a contract, like a purchase, it’s a covenant, reflective of Christ’s covenant with us when He saves us.
