I am not very familiar with Pastor Donne McClurkin, although I’ve seen him a few times on TBN’s “Praise the Lord!” program.
I recently came across a video post at Gay Christian Movement watch involving Pastor McClurkin – and I was pleasantly surprised. It’s not often you hear Christians keeping it real like this and talking on a level that young folks can appreciate. In these videos, Pastor McClurkin basically gives his testimony about Jesus the Christ freeing him from a life of homosexuality and imploring the youth struggling with similar sins and bondage to seek and trust Christ to break their bonds to sin and set them free.
This is very raw. Very true. And much appreciated. The youth deserve more than folks trying to keep up appearances and sugar coating things. I pray that many come to deliverance through Pastor McClurkin’s testimony.
Below is a playlist consisting of three videos, each of which will play automatically as the previous draws to a close. Please feel free to share and embed.
This video from InTouch Ministries’ the Rev. Dr. Charles Stanley is a blessing and a great aid to Christians concerned about walking faithfully with Christ Jesus.
“It’s becoming more and more unpopular to be a follower of Jesus Christ in our country. For example, it’s unpopular for you to say that your beliefs are according to the Word of GOD. And that you stand by those beliefs. It’s unpopular to say that this is GOD’s Word and our final authority for the way we ought to live and what we believe. It’s very unpopular to name the name of Jesus Christ in a public prayer, in a class room, often times in an office or wherever it might be. It’s becoming more and more unpopular to say that Jesus Christ is the only way even though that’s what the Bible says crystal clear when Jesus says I AM the way the truth and the life and no one comes to the FATHER but by ME. It’s more and more unpopular for us to refuse to agree with those who are living in sin, living a corrupted life, immoral, absolutely on the road to destruction. It’s becoming very unpopular. So what that says is this: we’re living in a society that desires and is working diligently to get all of us to agree. But to agree with the wrong thing on the wrong side.” – Dr. Charles Stanley
What do you do when you’re confronted with these things? Dr. Stanley offers some Biblical instructions in this two-part playlist (the second part will play automatically after the first), which is about 13 minutes long.
I am not a fan of “The View,” but I was pleasantly surprised to turn on my TV yesterday and learn that not everyone in the media has drunk the cool-aid. Thomas Beattie came out a couple years ago, claiming to be a man, and was pregnant — Beattie is actually a gay woman who has had a double-mastectomy and is taking hormones. She became pregnant not long ago (and recently again) and the media has dubbed her the “pregnant man” — although men are incapable of conceiving and giving birth — GOD just didn’t make them that way. Everyone I suppose was so concerned about being politically correct, they failed to make note that Beattie has a uterus and therefore a vagina — the basic requirement for child birth.
Here is Whoopi Goldberg and Sherri Shepherd explaining biology 101, refusing to at least exchange this very basic truth for a lie.
England always seems to be the guinea pig when it comes to what we in American can eventually expect to suffer. Here, a Christian preacher is doing the LORD’s work in the streets of England and police officers come by to let him know that he’s been offending people, some of whom have allegedly claimed that he’s been saying homosexuality is a sin — which he says he hasn’t, although it is. Homosexuality is an abomination. The preacher’s name is Andy Robertson.
WP-Bible plugin, but I don’t remember seeing it. If you missed it, please watch this short video (less than 30 minutes) about the lack of religious freedom in China and how Christians truly in love with Jesus Christ are standing up and being knocked down only to stand back up for their faith. It definitely is a humbling experiencing, just to see a glimpse of what our brothers and sisters in communist China go through on a daily basis. I couldn’t help but think of the growing aggression towards Christians here in America while I watched this… Let us remember to pray for our brothers and sisters around the world. It isn’t just us here in America whom GOD loves so dearly.

8 … ‘These things says the First and the Last, who was dead, and came to life: 9 “I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan. 10 Do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer. Indeed, the devil is about to throw some of you into prison, that you may be tested, and you will have tribulation ten days. Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life. 11 “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. He who overcomes shall not be hurt by the second death.”‘
7 But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us. 8 We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed— 10 always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our body.
11 For we who live are always delivered to death for Jesus’ sake, that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. 12 So then death is working in us, but life in you. 13 And since we have the same spirit of faith, according to what is written, “I believed and therefore I spoke,” we also believe and therefore speak, 14 knowing that He who raised up the Lord Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus, and will present us with you. 15 For all things are for your sakes, that grace, having spread through the many, may cause thanksgiving to abound to the glory of God.
Then Jesus said to those Jews who believed Him, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” - John 8:31-32
About LaVrai.COM
LaVrai.COM was previously heavily focused on news and commentary related to the Christian community. My interests and desires have changed somewhat. Although I am still very much attentive to current events and happenings affecting Christians worldwide, I feel it would be more beneficial for myself (and I pray for others) to use this space on the Internet to focus more on GOD’s Holy Word. It is HIS Word that keeps us going day-to-day.
