I came on my own dime to see if you were the real deal. My opinion means nothing in marketplace of ideas, but in my own sphere of influence they know what I believe you to be… Joyful Transparent Helpful A community blessed and a blessing. I tell my family if I ever disappear, you will find me in Moscow!☺️

[@Jacki_Morris]

Us too, and now our home is for sale and we're moving there 😄

[@danamo5601]

@@Jacki_Morristhat must be nice!!

[@younggrasshopper3531]

28:00 that bit to be angry but not to let it fester overnight is so good

[@theHermitcrabshow]

"Moscow mood" sounds like the perfect cocktail name. Whoever came up with that should be thanked

[@toughbiblepassages9082]

its next to the “white russian” drink

[@austinholcomb3456]

I look forward to this sermon every year.

[@kevinteichroeb6997]

This is brilliant. More than brilliant; it is the truth of God's word.

[@ayo-samurai]

All the men join me in prayer that all the women would happily walk away from the pulpit or any spiritual leadership over men because the men decide to stand up and confront evil again.

[@Yesica1993]

I am stuck in the hellpit that is Chicago. So I really still don't understand what supposedly terrible things y'all are doing in Moscow. I'd love to visit one day! Alas, I am broke and dealing with family issues.

[@dorinb4085]

Don’t lose hope you have Gods clear commands and His living word to sustain you unto a faithful end!!❤

[@Yesica1993]

Thanks!

[@danamo5601]

Is it really that bad?! So sorry… May the Lord provide for a way out.

[@Yesica1993]

I suppose it could be worse. But, yeah. It's bad. Thanks. I desperately need a full time job. That would be the first step. At the same time... dealing with family health stuff. So I can't really work full time. It's a vicious cycle.@@danamo5601

[@OGDreamer]

I love Moscow Mood. Thinking of moving there.

[@danamo5601]

Let us know if you do… so many are going there. I wonder how big is the church…

[@patlangness7942]

Righteousness is Christ, and he only works while we are resting in our completed salvation.

[@Yesica1993]

34:57 "We have to really hate what is evil. We have to really hate what is being done to our nation. We have to really hate what is being done to our young people. We have to really hate the lies that are being told by our culture by our seers by our entertainers." I do! Passionately so. Especially what is being done to children. I just don't know what I, personally, can DO about it.

[@restorehumility3538]

Every single time… home run!!!

[@isaacjohnson7184]

Good message.

[@davidelgeti517]

There seems to be gifting of the Spirit that the body finds offensive, like you said we are not all eyes. In fact today there are very few eyes, and if we would ask the rest of the body, they would reply we don’t see what you see. I also recognize that everyone that claims to be an eye may only have the gift of criticism and not the gift of discernment. Sadly it seems to be feelings not scripture that guides the judgement of the body. Thanks for being faithful to what the Spirit has given the Church of Christ.

[@LintCollection]

Preach pastor!

[@donaldedmond4117]

Excellent teaching.

(23:25) _The true soldier fights not because he hates what is in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him._ ―G.K. Chesterton

[@dragonhold4]

(31:55) _Envy and satire is brittle. The target should always be arrogance, not weakness_ -Douglas Wilson

[@dragonhold4]

(24:14) _If you don't hate the wolves, you hate the sheep. And if you love the sheep, then you hate the wolves. There is a binary setup. If you don't defend your wife, you don't love your wife_

[@dragonhold4]

(36:02) _When we're attacking wolves, we shouldn't be attacking wolves because you want to kill something and a wolf will do. If you're just out out from mayhem then what happens when the wolves go away for a time. That kind of Shepherd is going to turn on the sheep or going to be fighting with other shepherds. There's a difference between someone who fights because he needs to be fighting, and someone whose eyes are open, he understands the need for the fight, wants to be obedient to scripture, and so he rises_ > Profound This is plight or unwinding of every activist group. ex: race hustlers-advocates were needed for a time, but now that they are unnecessary the only way to continue the cottage industry is to leech the community or attack innocent bystanders

[@danman2001]

Moscow Mood is what is needed in this time God placed us in. We just moved out of Moscow back to Ohio, and I can tell you - can't wait for more of these Moscow Mood communities to sprout around here. It's a dry land of any reformed churches, much less the CREC.

[@PanhandleFrank]

Where at in Ohio, if I may ask?🤔

[@marshallalbritton9521]

Good words. Keep up the good work.

[@rejeandumas]

Preach pastor

[@carld2796]

It would also be nice to have discernment from the Holy Spirit when applying verses. Probably our best recourse.

[@randylplampin1326]

The first and second century Christian churches were persecuted by the Roman Empire for almost three hundred years. Christians were thrown to lions, burned to death, decapitated, and crucified among others. Women, old men, even children. No one was spared. Then Constantine came on the scene and said, "You can have your kingdom over there and I will have my kingdom over here." The survivors said, "It's a deal" and the persecutions ended and nothing has been the same ever since.

Thank you from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana.

[@elmerfudd2402]

As "the church" races to catch up with the culture, those who refuse to join them will be labelled as hostile and belligerent. There is a reason the disciples were martyred. Stand fast!

[@anuradhakadam7907]

Recently, I heard this man say According to the Apostle Paul, making sandwiches is part of the God-given role of a woman. So says Douglas Wilson, pastor of Christ Church in Moscow, Idaho. Is that correct?.

[@Pastor_Grant]

Deyoung and his TGC friends won't fight and they feel convicted seeing you do it. When people feel convicted they either repent or they attack the person who's making them feel that way.

[@elmerfudd2402]

🎯

[@patlangness7942]

Christ came and brought a sword to separate the source of my sin from me. Sounds like death to me. The gospel matches everything and takes all the smart alleky complication out of every circumstance.

[@patlangness7942]

We don't all have the same gifts, but we do all have the same message. The Christian message is avoided by pastors who think they are strong.

[Luk 1:1-4 NIV] Declaration that this is not the word of God. It's a hearsays', wake up not be led like Cattel's. 1 Many have undertaken to draw up an account of the things that have been fulfilled among us, Comments: Who are they? 2 just as they were handed down to us by those who from the first were eyewitnesses and servants of the word. Comments: Again Who are they? 3 With this in mind, since I myself have carefully investigated everything from the beginning, I too decided to write an orderly account for you, most excellent Theophilus, Comments: Investigated what? and who is Theophilus? 4 so that you may know the certainty of the things you have been taught. Comments: Who taught him? and what is his importance in this task?

New Covenant Whole Gospel: Who is now the King of Israel in John 1:49? Is the King of Israel now the Head of the Church, and are we His Body? Why did God allow the Romans to destroy the Old Covenant temple and the Old Covenant city, about 40 years after His Son fulfilled the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34 in blood at Calvary? What the modern Church needs is a New Covenant Revival (Heb. 9:10) in which members of various denominations are willing to re-examine everything they believe and see if it agrees with the Bible, instead of the traditions of men. We need to be like the Bereans. It will be a battle between our flesh and the Holy Spirit. It will not be easy. If you get mad and upset when someone challenges your man-made Bible doctrines, that is your flesh resisting the truth found in God's Word. Nobody can completely understand the Bible unless they understand the relationship between the Old Covenant given to Moses at Mount Sinai and the New Covenant fulfilled in blood at Calvary. What brings all local churches together into one Body under the blood of Christ? The answer is found below. Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him. He is the very Word of God in John 1:1, 14. Awaken Church to this truth. Jer 31:31 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer 31:32 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer 31:33 But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew 1:1 (Gal. 3:16)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John 1:49)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis 3:15? What did Paul say about Genesis 12:3 in Galatians 3:8, 3:16? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah 31:31-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah 31:31-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews 8:6-13, and Hebrews 10:16-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians 3:6-8, and Hebrews 12:22-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John 1:49, Acts 2:36) We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews 12:18. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews 12:22-24. 1Jn 3:22 And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1Jn 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1Jn 3:24 And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. The following verses prove the Holy Spirit is the master teacher for those now in the New Covenant. Jer 31:34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Mar 1:8 I indeed have baptized you with water: but he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost. Joh 14:26 But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost. 1Co 12:13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. 1Jn 2:27 But the anointing which ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him. Watch the KZbin videos “The New Covenant” by David Wilkerson, or Bob George, and David H.J. Gay. Why is the term "new covenant" not found in the man-made confessions of Reformed Covenant Theology? It is found in the Bible multiple times.

[@jessetoler8171]

James White hates messages like this. God bless Pastor Wilson.

[@patlangness7942]

This man has enmity with the world, but that doesn't mean he doesn't love it.

[@Yesica1993]

LOL! Have you been here all day, spamming? Find a better hobby.

[@patlangness7942]

The only hill worth fighting on is the glorious gospel of our being seated in the heavenlies, in Christ''s righteousness and not all these filthy rags this Pastor is talking about.

[@patlangness7942]

Excuse me. He is not a Christian pastor, because he is not leading people to rest in Christ.

[@metaplayground436]

​@patlangness7942 does resting in Christ mean being passive with the culture? Does resting in Christ mean doing nothing with your salvation? Does our good works being filthy rags mean that we should do no good works? You are so hostile to a pastor exegeting scripture and how to apply it, and use it, that you are willing to say he is not a Christian? Does speaking on how to wisely apply scripture mean you are not resting in Christ? Big oof my guy. I would suggest you gain a more biblical understanding of what it means to rest in Christ before making yourself look any more foolish than you already have. Especially jumping the gun there condemning a pastor who is clearly exegeting the text faithfully and admonishing those under his teaching.

[@aqqibabs]

​@patlangness7942 speak for yourself. He has definitely helped me rest and trust in Christ more.

[@patlangness7942]

I guess Doug Wilson knows when to stop preaching the gospel.
