Dr Akin, do you put up every sermon isolated from chapel services? This one is brutal... I would encourage my friend JD to watch a couple of the reviews on KZbin that are going viral (especially AD Robles.) If he follows this track much longer, he will tragically be following some of his other friends out of ministry. Satan wins another mini battle. I'm not the man to intervene here, but Dr Akin could. God will raise up new men to carry the mantle if not.

Did J.D. produce this sermon message himself, …or was it rather the efforts of Docent Research Group whose services were paid for by the tithes of congregants?

You do see the irony in your comment about Christians cancelling church, don’t you, Mr. Greear? Didn’t you cancel church for the better part of a year not too long ago?

[@graysonbr]

Where is the expository preaching in this? In even teaching on how to a bible study, this is horrid. This breaks so many rules that I know in how to do sound expository preaching. Putting historical context secondary putting it in a modern context first IS NOT what you do first.

[@christianforreal]

Hey. I'm trying to find a good conservative seminary. Which ones would you recommend?

[@graysonbr]

@@christianforrealI have been hearing good things about Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Kansas City lately. The other one is in Memphis, Mid-American Baptist Theological Seminary.

This is called the Tim Keller gambit, present one's perspective as the true Gospel position, that is neither left or right (as if there were only two positions). However, it's framing, justification and conclusion always lines up with the elite left liberal consensus. Yes, there is a thin veneer of neutrality and pietistic special pleading, but its an arrogant and heavily ideological form of rhetoric. It's also profoundly cowardly. JD Greear can casually call people that left his Church, members of the Synagogue of Satan and that he is experiencing intense persecution, when in reality he paying the cost of falling into the woke ideology of the day and shutting down his church for over a year. This man is truly a cunning deceiver.

i think if you ever met an actual leftist your head would explode. this nonsense slander will be answered for one day.

[@Charles.Wright]

@@The116thDoctor - how would someone "meet" an actual leftist, when they are too scared to leave the house? I guess we could all start working for DoorDash...

[@bobbybranham4830]

Whos decieved? Ahh but could it be you? It must of been uncomfortable for you to watch and you obviousy did not listen . He that hath an ear let him hear what the Spirit sayeth to the churches.

[@jimkuhn3500]

This guy is SO far away from TRUTH....so sad.....and who would clap for this guy.... REALLY.....

[@tonyb408]

is this guy for real? After this bit of whining ever member of that church should leave.

[@bowzerthedog1130]

Go away…!
