Steven Furtick “Following Jesus DOES NOT CHANGE YOU” – Paul Washer and Steve Lawson React

The 6 minute video in this post shows pastor Steven Furtick, of Elevation church, saying to his congregation, “The process of discipleship is not God changing you into something else, but it is Him revealing who you’ve been all along.” The vlogger critiques Furticks unbiblical statement with brief excerpts of Paul Washer teaching pastors and Steven Lawson preaching to a congregation. After the video, there is an explanation of the source of Furticks ideology.

A Picture Of Repentance

The sermon excerpt in this post paints a picture of repentance that includes examining specific sins; defining and illustrating repentance; discussing forgiveness and the consequences of sin. As I was listening to the sermon, I realized that he described repentance more fully than I have heard it described in most instances.  If you are not sure you are repenting correctly; this message will benefit you. This post covers very foundational aspects of the Christian faith, things that everyone must comprehend and apply. If you know someone who thinks they are too sinful to be a Christian, then this message will be of great use to you, as you share with them the hope of forgiveness.
