We hear from many intercessors their concerns about their children and grandchildren, as well as concern over the partisan division in the Church. What if we are coddling millennials to their destruction? This blog by Mario Murillo doesn’t mince words! We want to know what you think . . . share in the comments.
I remember it like it was yesterday. I could smell marijuana smoke. I looked over the fence into the yard of my neighbor, Sam, because the smoke was coming from his back porch. Sam was teaching his thirteen-year-old son how to light up and smoke dope.
It was not hard for him to interpret my glare. He defensively explained that he didn’t want to lose his son—that it is “better that he does it at home with me, than behind my back.”
Apparently, sitting his son down and explaining why it was dangerous and stupid to get stoned, was not an option. But, he was not saving his son—he was destroying him. . . .
In the same way, a prominent Evangelical ‘scholar’ explained why—even after he and his group called ‘Pro-life Evangelicals for Biden’, were used and lied to—he still supports Biden, because, he admits, he doesn’t want to lose the kids!
He said there are “many younger evangelicals who are not happy about … the way in which their parents and grandparents have endorsed and defended the Trump administration. We … don’t want to lose them to evangelicalism because of what is perceived as mean-spirited, highly partisan commitment on the part of the older generation of evangelicals.” Wait, what? . . .
How is what he is doing any better than what my neighbor Sam was doing? . . .
So we should smoke woke with them because we are afraid of losing them?
Millennials must not be classified as some exotic new human species that must be excused from correction and common sense. That is the greatest insult—and the purest form of hatred.
“Discipline your children while there is hope. Otherwise, you will destroy their lives” (Proverbs 19:18).
I stood before 2,000 youth at a Christian college. I said, “If you are not careful you are going to be the most boring old people America has ever known. If you look in my smart phone you will see pictures of people being saved and healed. If I were to look in most of your smart phones, what would I see, pictures of food?
“Imagine years from now, showing those pictures to your grandchildren. “Grandpa, what is this a picture of?” And you sheepishly answer, “Well, that was my breakfast.” And then they will ask, “Why are there 17 pictures of grandma in front of a mirror that are all exactly the same?””
Believe it or not, these young men and women did not race to a safe place or assume the fetal position. They laughed. They reacted the way young people have for generations. Why? . . .
Because in our zeal to prove they are different, we have forgotten they are just the same as the youth of every generation. Scared and teachable. . . .
If this prominent evangelical were right, millennials would not be crowding the front of our tent to be saved. They can take the truth. More of them than you realize are ready to hear the other side of the story—the story about America’s decency, and the good things this nation has done in history.
It is the professors who have changed. . . .
It is the Democrat Party that has changed. And I do not care who this offends: if we do not want to lose them, we must risk losing them by speaking the truth, in love!
Dear Christian professor…so what if you keep them Christian by letting them support Biden? What happens down the road when they read about Hell in the Bible? . . .
When I get a chance to reason with youth, many of them wake up out of wokeness. Catch phrases die after they are challenged to check their validity. When they spout stuff about Trump, I challenge them to show me, “When did he say that?” . . . .
I also know when it is time to confront a generation that has too much at stake to be coddled, hoodwinked, and appeased.
Stop smoking dope with them. Love them enough to tell them the truth, and do not destroy them!

We must feel what God feel and hate what God hate we must also not stand by and do nothing.
I love Mario because he has the guts to stand with us and speak the truth! The spirit of deception and the anti-Christ has entered the church and the great divide took place. The Christians that call themselves Pro-life Biden supporters are given over to a repobate mind. They are the anti-christ, goat nation christians that have abandoned God and the word of God. They of their own free will voted against everything that was moral and in the Bible. They are without excuse! Any intelligent person knows you are not voting for a person you are voting for a platform. Those christians voted, made a covenant with a left/socialist/communist/anti-christ platform and took an oath with satan by stating that I reject all God stands for and I fully commit of my own free will to stand with the democrat/communist platform that steals, kills and destroys to get in the doors of the government. The blood of the murders of the unborn is on their hands and all the chaos, crimes, burning of businesses, murdering citizens and staged riots at the capital for media coverage to advance the agenda of the deep state left. And now they pick supporting the democrat party fulling knowing the evil agenda and candy coat it with not wanting to lose the youth? I would run like hell to get as far away from the anti-christ cult as I could. I pray they will repent and return to God. We do not have any leaders in Washington, NO PRESIDENT, AND NO Vice President. WE HAVE THIEVES IN THE WHITEHOUSE DOING WHAT THEY DO BEST “KILL, STEAL AND DESTROY” JUST LIKE THEIR FATHER, THE FATHER OF LIES HIMSELF. President Trump won the election and it was stolen by thieves, the anti-christ church and the rhino republicans. It is a blatant in your face coup! No more milk for the church, grown up and eat meat! Everyone has free will! Free will to choose what is right and what is wrong. NO MORE CODDLING CHRISTIANS!
Amen! God has not changed from the beginning only people have changed. His truth is still truth!
ALL GOD FEARING & GOD LOVING PATRIOTIC AMERICANS MUST STAND UP AND “FIGHT” AGAINST THIS LIBERAL, DEMOCRATIC SOCIALIST ANTI-GOD & ANTI AMERICA AGENDA. THESE KIDS OR YOUNGER GENERATION ARE BEING FED LIES DAY IN & DAY OUT, AS PARENTS, GRANDPARENTS AND OVERSEERS WE MUST SHOW THEM THE TRUTH. FOR THE FATHER OF LIES & DECEPTION IS SATIN. JESUS CHRIST IS THE WAY THE TRUTH & THE LIFE !!! AMEN
I know a number of adults who support Biden simply because he is Catholic. Whenever someone points out that Biden does not actually follow the tenets of the Catholic faith, they get mad and dismissive of the person telling them. It’s obvious that Biden supports abortion on demand. I do not understand how any Catholic or any Christian of any denomination can support him.
Of course Mario is exactly right! My best friends daughter became pregnant at 15 after many conversations I had had with her mother about the need to teach her kids the need to be “saved” and her comment was “I want them to decide on their own” in reply I said either you teach them or the world will. Her daughter came to me before going to her mother with the devastating news and the Lord was able to use me to lead her in the Sinners prayer. She is a vital Christian young woman now. Praise God! Parents wake up, your kids don’t need you to be their friend they need a truthful teacher.
Mario speaks TRUTH about millennials. Why do we treat them differently? I believe that they can “handle” the truth and are, in fact, looking for truth. There are just too few who will share the unadulterated truth with them. God forgive us for being so timid. It is time to wake up & see what is really happening in America. College professors are preaching lies and that’s the case even in so-call Christian schools. I believe the church is responsible for our condition in America. It is time for the church to preach sin, repentance from sin and call people to humble them selves before the Almighty. The shaking is coming (Hebrews 12:25-29). If you haven’t read this, then you should today. Also read John 6:41-71 paying special attention verses 60,61, 64, 66 (especially when it says “from that time many of his DISCIPLES walked with Him NO MORE”) that’s where we are today & Peter’s reply in v. 68. Choose you this day Who you will serve and if you choose Jesus, then it is going to “cost you” (another “hard saying”, but true). The shaking is coming. Are your feet on the “solid rock that WILL NOT BE SHAKEN”?
Praise God for the honesty and truth! This is exactly what needs to be said. Be bold, courageous, and speak the truth… God’s word! Amen!!
Thank you!
We just celebrated Easter, the Super Bowl of Christianity, when our Savior looked death in the face and spit on it. God give us Christians after your heart! No parent names his son after a traitor or coward; but it appears today there is a yellow stripe down the backs of alot of Christian parents. No kid wants that kind of religion anyway.
we as a church are servants of Religion. We have failed to be examples of Jesus Christ and his ways . Churches are pivoting, I truly believe Revelations and the luke warm churches are here.. I Urge every single Christian to pay attention at their chosen church hold your head up HI and tell and speak against, any migration from the pathway set by God’s standards bearing neither left or right. We have got to start right here in our atmosphere . Be strong, use the armor of God speak out and if they do not listen RUN RUN RUN to those that practice what God demands. Do you realized you will be accountable for what they say what you listen to what you do about it…. Eternity is a long time for Jesus to say , who are you , I do not know you, but… I created and helped others, I was a good samaritan,.. many who thought they knew me , thought they did well… be gone I do not know you…… scary thoughts
Amen, Mario! What has happened to the Baby Boomers gumption allowing their children to be the center of their world? These adult children have become idols controlling their parents into wearing masks, getting vaccinated, threatening to withhold contact with their grandchildren, chanting social justice mantras, closing their eyes and ears to discussions of gender confusion, and violating their consciences under the guise of ‘loving your neighbor’. Unless we love the Lord, our God with our whole heart, soul, and mind; He will spit us out of His mouth! How will we face true persecution of our faith, if we can’t stand for righteousness and truth with our own offspring? God, forgive us!
I totally agree with Mario Murillo’s analysis his passion for revival is what we are praying for.
VERITAyahS!!! VERITAS MATTERS~~
Heavenly Father, in the Name of Jesus, King of Kings, deliver in your righteousness all people, young, old from belief that participating in evil will produce “good”. Lift the fear of saying “no” to sinful acts in every household and every family. Help parents to be wise teachers of the Gospel message so young people know right from wrong, without doubts. Lead parents, and all people to seek Jesus, and be led in their decisions by His teachings.
I pray for revival across our country and the world, Lord. Provide leadership in every human pursuit that reflects Your will in all matters. Thank You Lord for delivering us from evil. Lord, please, “declare Your power to all generations, Your might to all who are to come”. Lord, forgive me for lack of faith, but then, when I remember, You parted the waters of the Red Sea, created the universes, I
know You are in control, and Your will is being done no matter how my frail self sees it. Praise, glory, honor. You are our “Sovereign Lord, our refuge”. With You all is possible. Amen
Great Word from Mario!! He is exactly right! How any real Christian can support such evil as Biden and Harris and their evil agenda is beyond me.
Christians don’t support baby murder…plain and simple. There are zero pro-life Biden supporters.
Only undercover pro-abortion cowards, false teachers, and false converts vote for anti-life people. They will also follow the anti-Christ.
This is a great article!
Awesome message. Thank you for having the courage to speak the truth in love.
I think that we are on the edge of the cliff as a nation. Only truth, and in love, (even when it is uncomfortable) will help salvage anyone. I’ve been walking this earth for almost 80 years, and while I haven’t seen everything, I’ve seen and experienced a LOT. Smoking dope with your son, because you don’t want to “lose” him, is some of the worst thinking imaginable. Parents are trying to be “buddies” with their sons / daughters… so-called “friends” rather than walk out their God-appointed role as FATHER, or MOTHER, which involves exercising wisdom and authority over their children. The Scriptures are clear about how to bring up children, and some of the issues require discipline and even punishment. To help a child to sin so that his flesh can feel comfortable in the moment, is to become an accessory to the crime. It’s causing these “little ones” to stumble, and there is also a serious penalty for doing this.
Very well said, Gary! Seems like nowadays, adults are letting the kids make the rules. The boundaries are disappearing. They are being taught that there is no absolute truth. No wonder today’s youth are so confused! Dear LORD, please awaken a hunger and thirst in our youth for TRUTH and that they will find and stand on the solid rock of Christ Jesus!!
Hi Sharon, You’re right about the boundaries disappearing. In fact, in the case of the Dad smoking dope with his son, shows that within Dad, the boundaries have already disappeared. And you cannot give what you don’t have. Sad for both father and son.
I agree with speaking Truth and not compromising it. We cannot water down the truth but Must stand steadfast to the Glory of God and for the sake of our younger generations… God is not One to be mocked! Truth will prevail! We must be at our Father’s business!
I loveeee that Mario so boldly speaks God’s truth! Wake up our next generation Jesus and let us not be found guilty of coddling them with Lies.
We must speak the truth even at the risk of our children turning away from us. Precious Lord please touch the hearts and minds of our young people that they may be truly “woke” to the truth, the truth in the Bible, the truth about many of our so called politicians, the truth about the good things that President Trump did to improve America, Americas true history, good and bad. May the influence of wickedness be bound that these young folks would be open to hear your real good news about Christ Jesus, His love and sacrifice for us. In Jesus name, amen.
It is Much better to tell these kids the truth, in love rather than appeasing and coddling them. Consider the mass confusion that is being instilled in them!
Dear Lord I pray that truth will prevail and it is indeed time to confront a generation that has too much at stake to be coddled and appeased. Parents and other adults/mentors do Not need to destroy them, but love them enought to tell them the truth. Lord Almighty I pray that we can come to know and love truth again in this culture! Give our nation a fear of the Lord and help us to turn back to You! In Jesus name, Amen.
Thank you Mario Murillo! It’s so hard to understand the thinking of some ‘adults’. Our children are having a hard enough time on secular campuses. I had hoped they would have teaching to help them stand up for truth, common sense and Christ! Joshua said, ‘choose you this day who you will serve, but as for me AND my house, we will serve the Lord!’
Oh how I pray Christians would take up the mantel.
Father, we praise you and honor you! Thank you for the anointing in Mario Murillo. Thank you for the impartation he released to others over this past weekend in Nashville. Lord, revival has started and no devil in hell is going to stop it. I pray people will stop complaining and seek you for strength, guidance and ask how they can pray and be used of you to bring change to our youth. Wake your church God! Change can only come when we stand United and ready to fight! In Jesus name.
Amen Brother!
We cannot coddle the youth for the sake of sparing their feelings or out of fear of offending them. Love them by telling them the truth even when it hurts. Lies, coddling and living in fear destroy. The truth illuminates, exposes sin and is the only foundation for relationships.
“The Truth shall set you free”. Go Mario!!
I couldn’t agree more with Mario. We are facing a great evil in the Democrat Party’s policies, and the truth must be told. I pray that more and more pastors will wake up to their duty to inform their congregations rather than sheepishly leaving them on their own.
Continue to speak the Truth of your beliefs and faith regardless of whether your children listen. Pray for them and the Lord to save us from sinful and evil actions supported by our current Government. Pray for new leaders who support the truth of our Constitution Laws and pray that Church Leaders will challenge their congregations to do the same
BY THE PRECIOUS BLOOD OF JESUS SAVE THE SOULS, HEARTS, MINDS & ACTIONS OF ALL OUR ELECTED/STOLEN “LEADERS” IN THE WHITE HOUSE & BIDEN ADMIN. AMEN
Right on Mario!✝️
So true!
Lord, I pray for out Nation to come back to you. Give us wisdom and courage to speak the truth especially to our loved ones. Let us be the example to our children and grandchildren so that we leave a legacy for you. Awaken the lost souls and let them have a desire to hear the truth and a desire for salvation in Jesus Name
LORD, we have lost our way, and many have turned away from You, our Creator, to the created. In Romans, You tell us what happens when we do this, oh FATHER, we’ve been given over to a depraved mind, doing things we ought not do… In Isaiah, in the downfall of Judah, You speak of setting children as their rulers, and LORD, we are seeing this too! Please FATHER, forgive us & lead us to truth! Please grant us the fortitude to return to Your word, following Your ways. Lord, we cannot do this without You, You are only hope. And FATHER, please also grant us the courage to speak truth into lives & situations, as we’ve been silent too long. Lord, I ask this the name of Your only begotten & beloved Son, my Savior & Lord, JESUS!
Amen and Amen
Agree 100%.
Young people are lookking for truth. They recognize authenticity!
Yes!! Amen..I know a parent who was introducing to drugs by her father as a young girl, she in turn did the same for her kids,allowing them to do drugs and drink. Her dad ran himself over while stoned, and sadly, her teenage daughter overdosed on heroine. Speaking the truth in love is always better in the long run, for the speaker and the hearer..allowing sin has never paid off, it costs EVERYONE in the end as sin gives birth to death.. 🙁
More than at any other time in recent history it is imperative that we speak truth. What is truth? Certainly not what we get from media. The truth has always been and will always be the Word of God. Be strong and courageous. We will be victorious through Jesus Christ the Savior of all peoples.
Yes, the Bible is absolute truth.
Love Mario. His heart for truth and God is unquestionable. We are called to lead people to the gospel of Jesus not pave the way to hell for them. God please shine light on the lies being spoken especially by church leaders who are to serve you and save. Hold them accountable. Rain truth.
I’m inclined to think that Christians, who compromise with communists in control of the Democrat Party, will also compromise with the antichrist. The Democrat Party was founded by a member of the Illuminati, which made plans to enslave the world under communism years before Marx wrote his manifesto. By 1983, there were over 240 Democrats in Congress, who had ties to the Communist Party. Congressman Larry McDonald tried to expose this, but they were able to arrange for the N. Koreans to shoot down a whole jetliner with him on board to shut him up. I also believe that every person, who votes for a pro-death politician, will be charged by God on Judgment Day as an accomplice to genocide. Aborticide is genocide. Jesus said that anyone, who doesn’t love Him more than their own family, isn’t worthy of Him. I got a lot of flack from a sister when God called me to do missionary work in New Zealand because she wanted me to help take care of my mother. I told her the best thing I could do for Mom was to obey God. Mom was still alive when I returned over 7.5 years later.
Thank You for the enlightenment re: the Illuminati and there place in the Democratic party. This is a topic not focused on but is real. I Just read “Episode #37: Remembering A Patriot: Congressman Larry McDonald, Accident or Assassination? https://frontporchsense.com/2020/03/remembering-a-patriot-accident-or-assassination/
Posted on March 5, 2020 by Marnie Kuhns. Another interesting voice against what has become named the “Swamp”
The reason I know what happened to Congressman McDonald is because he wrote to me and asked me to help him expose the 259 members of Congress, who had ties to the Communist Party. I spent the next 2 weeks praying about what the Lord wanted me to do in response to his request. Unfortunately, he was killed 2 weeks later. On the day his death was reported on TV, my pastor phoned and told me something amazing. He said that the moment he heard the announcement on TV, God spoke to him and said, “Congressman McDonald was assassinated and David knows why.” He phoned to ask what I knew. I told him about the letter he sent to me. He asked me to read it in church in both services the very next Sunday. Over 100 people heard what was in that letter, most of whom are still living today. I was advised to destroy that letter to protect my family and took their advice. About 20 years later, I wished I hadn’t taken that advice.
You are exactly right!! I am very worried about my grandchildren and great grandchildren! Especially those in college! They are getting filled with garbage! Every chance I get I tell them the difference between President Trump and Biden and what the Bible says and what Christ did for them. I pray for each of them daily and that Jesus will lead and guide them but we as parents and grandparents have to lead and guide them as well!!! Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it! 🙏
I pray every day for my children and grandchildren. They are easily led politically . I know they are a part of God’s kingdom and have accepted Jesus as their savior but I have problems understanding how they accept their politics and reconcile them with their faith!
I pray that the Holy Spirit will guide their decisions and lead them to embrace the Truth, Righteousness, and all things that glorify God. I place them in the hands of Jesus, covered by His blood.
Going along with evil for your children is Harming them NOT Helping them. I am A children’s Sunday school teacher I teach straight from the Bible. That what they need is God fearing teachers and youth pastor’s that truly teach God’s Word.
Mario Murillo Ministries is having Tent Crusades in parts of California…I pray that His boldness will prompt ALL of us to speak up…Share with anyone, anywhere “HOW TO BE BORN AGAIN…” I took a class in the 1950’s entiteld EVANGELISM EXPLOSION BY JAMES KENNEDY..(LOOK IT UP)……HIS TEACHING WAS ON HOW TO SHARE JESUS WITH ANYONE, COMPLETE STRANGERS…I ENJOY BEING AVAILABLE FOR GOD ANYWHERE..ANY TIME…PLACE…MY HUSBAND AND I WERE MISSIONARIES TO UGANDA FOR NEARLY 6 YEARS..AND WE ARE GOING TO VISIT THERE AGAIN THIS YEAR…PLEASE PRAY THAT I WILL BE USED IN THE AIRPORTS…(SEVERAL)…STREETS IN THE USA AS WE BOARD THE PLANE GOING AND RETURNING…
“LORD, I PRAPY BOLDNESS ON EVERYONE WHO READS THIS ARTICLE ABOUT MARIO…AMEN
Excellent article. I remember fighting for excellence in the schools and losing. We went to our daughter’s high school awards program. Not one child did not get a reward, even for most improved hair style. It took 4 long hours and was pushing mediocrity. My daughter was the last Valedictorian of her high school. They did away with it the next year. God is a God of excellence. Of high standards. He created everyone of us. To those he gave the ability to be valedictorian, more is required. We are servants first! Every person is precious to God. We get this messed up all the time!
Help us our God
Help us our Saviour
For the glory of your name
For the glory of your kingdom
Deliver us and atone for our sins
Deliver us and forgive all our sins
Help us our God
We come to you desperately needy
Help us our God
May your mercy come quickly to meet us
Help us our God,
Help us our God
Help us our God,
Help us our God
Help us our God for your name’s sake
Help us our God
Help Us Our God

Great article, amen to your strength to write the truth! It is impossible to believe in the Bible and follow Jesus while blindly following the new Democrat regime. The belief systems are completely opposite!
Because there are stupid people everywhere !
How did this generation become blindly submissive to acting like the Stepford Wives? At least my generation (I’m 66) questioned the establishment, then we became the establishment when we saw the error of our ways. With these kids today, they no longer question – they indiscriminately follow shuffling along with their eyes closed and their arms stretched out in front of them – and willingly fall off the cliff as commanded by their teachers, professors, and the news media, thereby murdering the quiet and peaceable lives we live because we live in the greatest country in the world.
Unfortunately, they see this stuff ALL the time through social media and when they hear it enough, they think it is the WAY. So very wrong, Jesus is the ONLY WAY. We, as parents and grandparents, need to stop this.
Amen! The truth is far better than anything else we can offer our youth. Thank you Mario Murillo!
Totally agree! IFA and Mario Marillo has my support, and more important that anything, God has my commitment that I will be truthful and share God’s standards and truths with the next generations, with all generations! I pray for the true Christians to stand up, stand out and speak up for Godly standards and what is right and wrong!
Yes and Amen!
Thank you Mr. Murillo for speaking the truth boldly!! That is exactly what needs to happen to catch the millenials and others of our day. Jesus made you a “Fisher of men”. Thank you again and let us all be challenged to do the same.
Father God forgive us that we made this discussion about a mere mortal man and not about You. It is that Your plan is to use us where we are at for Your Glory and for You will. Yes thank you that President Trump allowed You to use him for Your Glory. Father God we take back our youth from the enemy in the Name of Jesus! As you tell us we can remit their sins and every elder that encourages their sin- Father God I ask You remit their sins so the can see the truth and look to You for all they need and peace in the Name of Jesus. Amen
He’s right. We need to boldly proclaim truth. We need to challenge the lies with questions to reveal the logical fallacies. We need to pray and fight the wicked demonic forces behind all the deception. This is truly a war. Christians need to put on the armor of God and get in the fight for the soul of America.
I do not speak with any political affiliation. I speak as a Christian. I will also state that other religions have similar understandings, this I know from my Jewish, Muslim , Hindu and even atheist friends. Again, I speak as a Christian.
In the Bible it says ” Spare the rod spoil the Child”. As a shepherd the rod was used to guide the sheep back on track. No the rod does not mean to beat your young, it is simply you guiding your child in the direction of what is right and away from what is wrong. Being truthful to your children and others around you is your duty as a Christian. God gave us children to raise them and to bring them to Him.
The commandments tell us not to lie. A lie is a sin against God. When we lie to our children they in turn learn to lie and therefore we are responsible for their lies. The Bible also mentions that it is a great sin to teach a child to sin.
The truth will set you free and if you speak in the name of Jesus you will be setting your children free as well. Believe me when I say the truth hurts sometimes. So What? If you do not want to lose your children teach them morals, pray with them, read the Bible with them. Make them enjoy time with you. They will always enjoy being around you, yes even when they are teanagers.
As far as our leaders and their religious values, they simply fail. They brag about their religion but they fail to live it.
As a Christian I believe the first thing a leader must do is refer to the Bible before making any decisions.
Listen to the word of God, and follow the traditions passed down from Jesus. Remember the Last Supper, “do this often in memory of me”. The Bible says this, so why be afraid if you lead a country in the name of Jesus. I am never afraid because Jesus is with me, God is with me.
Endorsing Trump. OK, he was not a very moral man himself. However, he did what he did with the betterment of America and nothing for himself. In fact most of the liberal media loved Trump and were friends with him until he was sick of their disgusting ideas of misleading America. Think about it the media had nothing good to say about him. How is that possible when fleeing immigrants themselves thanked him for stepping up. We needed a radical leader to wake us up and call on God. Most if not all President Trump’s decisions actually were very fruitful for America and the world overall. There was a reason the media did not like him and that was because he was going to reveal the Liberal left and the ways they were controlling YOU. Yes, he talked like a jerk, but his decisions on the laws made factual sense.
We failed as parents to keep the media out of our decisions, we failed to teach the truth in history, the media told us what to think and we like sheep followed them. The lies of the media are controlling us. We did not do our research for the truth and the world power (the media) controlled us. We were lazy and got even lazier when we began to believe in the often said lies of those who want to control us. No this is not a conspiracy this is fact.
If we as Americans don’t get up off our lazy back side the entire world will become our SWAMP. Colleges are teaching extreme liberal thinking. I know this from the recent classes I took. In one occasion, and there were many more. There was a professor telling us about a mission in Africa and she had a friend who did a video presentation about the mission. I was shocked because everything this lady said was not the truth. I know because I was on that mission. My professor asked me to comment and all I could say was the lady sounded believable and spoke nicely. My professor asked for more detail and I shared with the entire class that the lady lied about everything and that I was there.
So the lies are being taught in schools, the media is making us believe that when a single incident occurs it is now happening all over America.
God bless America and may He set us free from the lies of the media and fake leaders.
Mario Murillo is absolutely correct. I am completely baffled seeing and hearing people who call themselves followers of Christ voting for people who loudly proclaim they support the Abortion Industry and want to fund abortions around the world. Jesus Himself said that “you shall know the truth and the truth shall set you free.” Christians, followers of Christ and His teachings, need to proclaim the ‘Truth’ loud and clear. Right Is Forever Right
“God is truth, and all truth is grounded in the character of Almighty God. And any statement of truth is just a piece of the great truth that is founded in the being of God. Mathematical truth, chemical truth, physical truth, truth of thermodynamics, of electromagnetism, truth of the skies, astronomy, truth of the minute microcosmic world; wherever there is truth, it is a reflection of the being of God. Two plus two is four; that is a part of the truth of God. Vice is reprehensible; that is a part of the truth of God. Virtue is commendable; that is a part of the truth of God. All truth is grounded in the character of Almighty God, and when we know the truth we know God, that much of God. And the more of the truth we know, the more of God we know.
There is no such a thing as relative truth, and there is no such a thing as situation ethics; that is, something might be right today, permissively, that was wrong yesterday. There is no such thing as that in the Word of God. What is right yesterday is right today, and is right forever: for righteousness and morality are grounded in the person of Almighty God. It is never what a man says it is. It is never what a legislature says it is. It is never what a judge will define it to be. Righteousness and morality are reflections of the being of God, and God never changes. Right is forever right and wrong is forever wrong, because that is God! ” [email protected]
I agree if we don’t stand fir this generation in truth we will loose them. Satan is after our youth and we need to wake up and fight for them.
This sounds like common sense to most of us; but there are, I guess, parents who think that parenting is about winning the approval of their children. If you want to lose complete respect as a parent, then go that route… or you could face the fact that you’re children know almost nothing about life and are looking to their parents for guidance and truth. As usual Mario Murillo is right there with the good stuff. Do the right thing and you will end up with kids who appreciate you and know how to raise their own kids well.
I was driving home one day with my husband and ten year old. We were just talking about his school day, when he started to tell us about all the different colored flags for each sexual orientation. Rainbow flag for the gay community. this colored flag for the transgender community etc… I was shocked. When I asked him where did you learn this-he said in school. This was a huge wake up call for us. We attend church every Sunday. he is in Sunday school. I don’t believe in hate because I feel that that is what drives people away from God, but we must make a stand. We don’t have to hate, but we do need to fight. Fight for what we believe in and fight for our children. Fight for our God. I also believe that love, God’s love is so much stronger than anything this world has to offer. Prayer is our weapon. We must use the weapons that God has placed at our disposal.
So what action did you take in response to your ‘wake up call’? Just curious. We homeschool because we don’t want that garbage taught to our kids/grandkids.
We squashed our first reaction of forcefully reminding my son that those lifestyles are wrong, etc.. Both my husband and I reminded him about what the Bible says and all that he has been taught about God. We did stress to him that people tend to have beliefs that are very different from ours, but what we believe is not wrong and we will always stand on God’s word. We also explained to him that there are people out there that would try to change what he has been taught and what he knows to be true, by telling him that he is wrong and a “hater”. He needs to remember that God loves him. We did stress that he is not to respond with anger or hate-but to always respond with God’s love. We also stressed that he is to let us know if he ever finds himself in these situations so that we can intervene with the school. We do talk about what we see happening on the news and have discussions with him. I feel that open communication with our kids is a huge factor in their listening to us as parents. We can’t shut them down immediately if we don’t agree with what they say. This has helped with our older kids who are in college. Hope this helps-sorry this is so long.
Wow, that sounds like you guys have a good handle on things. Keep up the communication and pray, pray, pray! Thanks for your reply.
Well said.Our youth are not stupid. They have been lied to.
Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go…” Don’t use that as an excuse to beat your child when he does bad, additionally use it as motivation to teach him the right way!!!!
Did I hear you say Pro-Life for Biden? Is that even possible, or just another lie they pretend to believe. I tell anyone everywhere I vote Christian values, I do not pick a certain individual. The platform is the candidate, Democrats are not Pro-Life, they are not Pro-Israel; they are Pro-LBGTQ, not Pro-Christian. They do not identify with God’s-family which is one man- one woman; children. Now it is sex identification. God created male; female created He them. They do not have the right to tell my heart how to be, only God does, & this is what I see as a godly lifestyle according to the holy scriptures which is God’s word. Father in Heaven I ask that you open the eyes of those that seek truth to your words & not a carnal platform. Jesus, you said to see to it that no one deceives you we pray for those eyes In the name above every name Jesus, Amen.
AMEN AMEN and AMEN
Father’s Voice is ringing through
This article is right on! The children of baby boomers (and those younger) Biden supporters!!!! Why oh why!??? My sister and I re totally puzzled. But not really, knowing that their source of information is “fake news” media! So there’s no meeting of the minds when we try to make them see the light! While we are filled with the Word, and information from God-honoring people like Lance Walnau, Gene Bailey of Flashpoint, Mario Murillo,
prophets like Hank Kunneman, they are saturated with FAKE NEWS! They are NOT only Biden supporters! They are FANS of Biden! They point out how well he’s handling the reins of government; how decent and dignified he is unlike Trump; how, unlike Trump, he is NOT about himself, but about the country. This is MADNESS! Although they may be right about Trump’s obnoxious behaviour and communication style (which I’ve refused to blind me to the REAL important issues like the protection of the unborn, religious freedom, the upholding of our Judeo-Christian ethics), that doesn’t warrant the support for abortion, open borders, etc that Biden upholds! They don’t get it! Yes, sad to say, they identify Trump with white conservative evangelicals who, they say, don’t walk the talk. Yes, they identify him with white supremacy and lack of compassion for illegal aliens who have been here for years, in pursuit of a better life, while lauding Biden for his compassion toward these oppressed lot. But what has that to do with Jesus Christ? Why should they turn their backs to Christianity because of Trump? And why should parents of these blind and deceived young generation compromise and take their side just to “save” their children from apostasy? That will NOT help at all. The Gospel is the Power of God unto salvation! NOT coddling them. Confront them with the Light of the Gospel – the Light of the Knowledge of the Glory of God in the face of His Son, Jesus Christ, and the scales will fall off their eyes!
Thank God for anointed, bold evangelists like Mario Murillo! May God raise MORE of his kind!
Telling the gospel message of Jesus is necessary for every generation. Let’s reverence and obey God boldly and of a good courage.
Maybe we need to turn billy graham back on into our homes, so these kids can learn the basics of salvation and the cross learn the ten commandments and the lords prayer. Maybe we need to talk about Hell, the judgment seat of christ and the great white throne judgement. Maybe there needs to be ‘actual consequences’ to bad behavior again. Maybe parents need to put MAJOR effort into having an ACTUAL RELATIONSHIP with their children, taking LOTS of time for them and teaching them God’s precepts . Everyone put your phone in the drawer and turn off. Maybe bible reading, prayer and fellowship should come back into the home..families praying together !
SOWING AND REAPING …the Bible is true to it’s word. Whatever you sow, that shall you reap.
Praying that this heartfelt, “tough love”-type message will continue to be spoken in love to these younger people. The truth needs to be told, not lies the enemy wants us all to believe.
In total agreement with Mario Murillo! I pray that the Sword of Truth will shatter all the lies and deceptions they have bought into! Rise up young generations and get into The Army of the Lord!
You may have misunderstood. The first line in the note was to forget about Biden or Trump.
Then the body of the message was an incomplete list of the policies that violate biblical principles that are being pushed currently by the Progressive movement. The point is to vote and behave biblically as best as we as humans can. Blessings, dh
Encouraging to know parents and ministers still view youth as having souls that can only besaved by making Jesus Christ Lord and Savior. Anyone who has worked with addicts or been in abusive relationship knows failure to confront sin just sustains, increases pain for all involed. I grieve about many Christians including ministers putting being liked or getting along with everyone above sharing gospel and proclaiming truth from Bible on how people should live. Is it not clear of spiritual battle in progress deceiving Christians to yield to culture by not being angered by rampant immorality? So much of the Democratic Platform violates the 10 Commandments and blasphemes God. Jesus lived in turbulent times and under Roman tyranny. We must speak truth in love and no longer be silent which os allowing so many people to be lead astray. And regardless of who is in office we are commanded to pray for them.
I so agree that the Democratic platform is anti-Christian. I truly do not understand how many allow themselves to be blinded. I often think of the “goats leading the sheep to slaughter.” Be careful of who you follow! Matthew 7:14 reminds us “small is the gate and narrow the way….continues – Beware of false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly ravenous wolves….,” In your mercy, Lord, send us a great AWAKENING that will “cancel the fake wokeness.” Hear our cry. In they precious name. Amen
What society needs right now is courageous Christians to come forward and tell the truth: A lot of people using the label “Christian” are NOT following the Bible.
Teaching anti-Biblical values that allow people to feel a false comfort of fraudulent redemption…teaching unending grace and permissiveness…redefining sin and leaving out the importance of repentance…is not Christian at all. This practice dilutes the faith and deceives those that are under the false impression of being saved or of what Christianity is. Unfortunately there is an enemy within the church that is attempting to change the very definition of what it means to be Christian – and succeeding. I have personally witnessed many people retain the title of Christian while moving to progressive churches and adopting worldly, progressive values. They are lulled by the safety of a sense of forgiveness and acceptance as they reject the truth and continue to sin openly and unabashedly. They say it is hateful to infer God has instructed that anything is a sin, and that they would rather offend God than people because after all, God will forgive them, and people may not.
As Christians we must be very clear about what it means to be a person of the faith. “Love” is being redefined to mean allowing people to do whatever helps them feel good, whatever indulges the flesh, whatever allows them to keep their social standing among their progressive friends, progressive employers, and progressive schools. They do not see love as following God’s Word. People are carrying such an attitude of entitlement, forgetting they deserve nothing but death for their sin, that they want the easy way – the faith that conforms to themselves and their ever-changing worldliness, rather than the difficult way – the self that breaks and humbles itself to the never-changing will of God.
Sadly, the coddling of children, without the teaching, correcting, provision of guidelines and appropriate disciplining fails to provide boundaries for ethical living in the shifting sand of morality and social media are f today’s children. Desiring a friend relationship rather than the teacher/mentor parent—with its rules/punishment creates a chasm that “wokeism” and social justice ( oxymoron) is all too happy to fill. As Christ followers, we must now be willing to hit the enemy’s schemes head-on. We must stand. We must speak as opportunity provides. We must pray—the clarion call rings loudly. We must lovingly and humbly speak Truth because Jesus Christ is The Way, The Truth, and The Life. He is the answer to the chaotic noise, and our prayers move the grace lies. We must not lose heart.
I pray every Christian will awaken to the truth.
Amen Brother Mario!!!!
Right on Mario!
Actually compared to the scathing sermons we heard as youth, Mario went pretty easy on them. 😂
In my opinion, Biden simply does what his democratic left tells him to. He never said anything about the “cancel culture,” ripping down anything they do not understand about history. There are good and bad things
in all history, but it is history. There are some really good books out there about our values and all the things we were taught to believe in – I also believe that God has a plan for us and for the world. I am reticent about talking about what I believe in from “Trump” to what Biden is NOT doing. I don’t want to lose my children or have to defend my beliefs all the time.
Absolutely agree. God is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore. When we preach a compromised gospel we are not saving souls. We are deceiving them. There is so much wrong with this “not wanting to lose them” theology. We’ve already lost them for all eternity if we do not present them with the Truth.
Couldn’t agree more!
I agree with Mario Murillo completely. I thank God for his honestly. What if the Apostles had stayed home playing video games instead of risking their lives to share the gospel.
I taught high school for 43 years. After retirement I have substitute taught so I am still in touch with today’s youth. When I ask about their aspirations in the last four years, they often do not have any. I ask if their parents talk to them about possible future careers they say no. As the end of the school year approaches, I ask if they will apply for summer jobs they say no- their parents don’t want them to work. Lack of ambition and an inability to think for themselves seems a hallmark of today’s youth in the county where I live.
Very sad.
Amen. The truth will set us free! (All of us)
So thankful for this article! Yes we are losing our kids who say LORD LORD to a false gospel! The full gospel is love with grace, judgment and morality. There are boundaries. Standards. Calls to FOLLOW JESUS, READ and HEED the WORD. REPENT and be saved. These seminaries and “woke” professors and pastors are teaching a false gospel of LOVE, love that tolerates murdr of innocents and the depravity of sexual immorality. They coddle enough to deny the very creation of God in His image: MALE and FEMALE. Satan is doing his best to destroy the image of God. Sadly, he has much of the “church” helping him deceive. Revelation speaks of things that must take place. Obedience to God’s standard and a final judgment are two of those things. Is your name written in the LAMBS book of Life or in the rester of your liberal woke church?
Couldn’t agree more! There is so much deception occurring with the usurping of “love” today. Affirming sin and preaching false theology is not loving. Meanwhile Biblical values are called hateful. So much to pray for as much of the world is truly upside-down.
Excellent!!! Well said, Ev.Murillo!!!
RIGHT ON! It is like, “I didn’t tell them the bridge was out, because I didn’t want to spoil their joy ride.”
Zita:
Thanks very much! I appreciate your comment. It’s nice to know someone else is confused on this issue.
Gus
As a born again Christian, it is our only hope to proclaim God’s truth, intermingled with His love to the generations behind us. They must hear truth. We cannot compromise to appease them. We must challenge them to go beyond what the media is falsely proclaiming.
I personally know of several beautiful Christians, that did not want to hear what the left says about abortions, about freedom of speech & religion, about gun control, about the Constitution that our founding father’s appropriated as the law of the land, using the precepts of the Bible to master their ideas. My heart was and is broken for these ones that I dearly love!
And yes I lost my daughter, her husband, and my grandson’s all because I voted for President Trump. Sad isn’t it? I believe that time will prove itself, no matter my pain, my heartbreak.
God’s word is true. I fear for the younger generations, too much internet. Too much not wanting to learn of Jesus, and His truth. I pray, asking God to open their eyes, their ears, their hearts.
Thank you Mario for your pursuit in evangelizing the youth. Praying for a mass revival among them. Praying for you Mario, and those working with you for the souls God loves and treasures. Onward,no matter the cost. It will be worth it all!!!
Double amen to your response, Nancy. I feel your pain of loss — I think we’ve all lost family and friends to TDS. Yet I add my prayers for a powerful revival in the US and across the globe that the name of Jesus may be spoken in love and His ways honored and obeyed by all for His glory and our own very best interests!!!
Thank you Lisa for your heart and prayers. We are joined together because of Christ. I appreciate your kindness.
God speed dear heart.
Mario is exactly correct. It also applies to other relatives. I’m told to “keep the peace”. I will not. When I stand before Jesus, I don’t want Him to ask me why I didn’t tell them the truth. Ask me why I was willing to let them go to hell so I could “keep the peace.”
This was a sad article. Parents are supposed to act like adults and teach and lead their children in what is right and godly. If kids haven’t been given a standard for living, hopefully godly, when they were young, they will flounder and try everything. The parent is supposed to be the leader and head of the family, not the child or children. Give them love with boundaries, discipline, education, so they will have a guideline to base their decisions on.
Let the child be the child, and for their sake may the parent be the adult.
One more very sad happening these days is parents giving into the whims of their who say they want to be the opposite sex. Children will usually grow out of that thinking as they grow up. I could write a story on that with my childhood.
If my parents had raised me and bowed down to my whims to keep me happy, horrors! We would be in a mess.
When I was a child I thought as a child; when I grew up (in my 20s) I thought as an adult.
Today’s kids will do the same if parents will be the adults.
God will hold every person accountable for voting for and supporting a Pro Choice Democratic platform. Thou shalt not kill is a Commandment of God not a woke suggestion.
Democrats are ruining this nation daily with open borders, destroying our Constitution and our Freedoms. Pres Trump took the mental test and scored 30 out of 30. How many in power in D.C. could do so? God is in control and working thru some good people in Congress.
Mario speaks TRUTH every time I have listed! Christians need to start listening!
AMEN!!! Our daughter is a millennial who has been influenced by her culture. She is struggling with what she knows to be truth and all the lies she has bought into. My husband and I pray daily that she and her generation will be awakened to the TRUTH according to God’s Word.
Well, thank God for Mr. Murillo! Truth is Truth. It does not change. As President Trump has said: Sometime I may lose it all, and walk away in order to get it all back.
Thank-you for having the courage to speak the truth to every one but ESPECIALLY the young, someone needs to set them straight as the left with the complete backing of the Media is what has been turning our country apart.. God Bless you
I say, Amen!!!
Political correctness has destroyed our spirits. We have become a soulless, gutless and hypocritical wimps. We have lost the principle and faith to the truth. and let our younger generations marching to ruin.
As a new believer years ago, I very much appreciated the ministry of Mario Murillo. Am grateful that the Lord has raised him up for such a time as this, and to IFA for featuring him. A much needed voice of wisdom and truth.
Good article. I am concerned that the tenured professors in today’s universities and colleges are the ‘grown-up’ protesters of the 60s. We must speak the truth in love, even if it offends others. Thanks for publishing this.
Millennials are not the primary need for prayer among American Christians. The parents and grandparents of Millennials need to be our focus. The lack of leadership and true godliness among our seniors is the cause of the problem with Millennials. Most senior Christians do not spend even an hour with the Lord alone each week, unlike previous generations who thought nothing of spending a day in prayer and praying all night. We are preoccupied with entertainment and pleasure and have little time for effectual fervent prayer. We watch news, movies, You tube Christian performers, but have little or no time for serious intercession.
Yes, indeed. I say amen. To let the lie continue is to self destuct. I only want to please God. Agreeing with “the woke” verbally or through my silence is an abomination of my faith. To me it is pleasing someone other than God. Kids can become our idols but the Holy Spirit can help us stand firm on our Godly morals while loving others…not my power but His!!
Okay, lets turn down the heat and frustration a little. First as a Christian my world belongs to GOD not Trump nor Biden. I do not honor men nor their empty words. I do look at the facts and if you don’t like my opinion well I respect that and I respect constructive criticism. I don’t support Trump and I was a republican (now an independent) Locking step with those who cow down just does not sit well with me. I do not support Biden because too much spending and little to no method (outside of increasing taxes) to fund it all is also a bad taste. This Nation will fall apart if we do not stop name calling and fighting each other. The Russians, Chinese, Iranians, and North Korean would love it if we went away. Then they can walk all over what pieces are left and do what they wish to the rest of the world.
Do make changes that fit with the teachings of our Lord. Respect each other and listen, read, observe. Stop getting aerobics by jumping to conclusions. Stop hating those people who do not look like you. Support all of what GOD created and learn to look at others the way you want others to look at you.
I served this nation from 1972 to 1976 active duty United States Army. I have seen how ugly Combat can become. Lost a few good friends to what turned out to be a lost cause. All in the name of Profit ($$$$$). I am not saying that all humans on this rock listen to reason many want all the money and all the power and have serious issues. Just please step back look with eyes wide open, ears listening, and mouth shut.
I appreciate your comments. Scripture says “God has made of one blood all nations under heaven…” There is only one race: the human race. Politics is not the answer nor the problem with America. It is our sins. God is working though all in authority whether their intentions are good or evil, to bring America to our Knees. If we do not return as a nation to the Lord, we will be destroyed as God did with Israel. They were His chosen, we are not. Certainly, those who are genuine in their faith and walk with God are part of the solution to our national problems, however, they are evidently less than 3% of our population. The millennials are not the only ones being misled. Many senior Christians are believing the lies being published on all sides.
I’m afraid you may not see the larger ideological issues at play here. I don’t know your reasons for not supporting Trump. When you say you don’t like Biden because of spending, are you aware of what that spending is going toward? The Democrat party today is about erosion of Biblical values in every aspect of society. No prayer, no honoring God’s design for creation, no respecting that God made two genders, or that marriage is a religious covenant between one man and one woman. The Democrats are both watering down “Christianity” to appease those who want to retain the label and also opposing Christianity because socialism & communism need atheism to survive. If progressives continue, Christians will continue to be fired, ridiculed, ostracized from society, and eventually face other persecution and perhaps death for staying true to the Bible. Perhaps you saw last summer that in the midst of riots and Marxist protests, Bibles were being burned. The Bible is being called “hate speech.” This isn’t about higher taxes or who words things better. This is life and death.
I’m finding that young people want the truth- we need to share it in love and with facts- not just our opinions and emotions. Praying for a revival among our people at church – especially among our younger people- millenials and genz’s.
Thank you, Mario!! I hear God speaking through you. Parents, wake up!! It’s still our job to teach our children Truth!! Those young people are the next generation of leaders!! It’s up to us to lead them to God’s everlasting Truth!!
I agree 100% with Mario. Tell them the teuth, you are wimpy parents ifyou don’t stand up for truth. You’re kids will not respect you.
Mario is a voice of truth so desperately needed!! Thank you for sharing this. Praying it gets read by thousands!!
Please add these to your list as you question: “These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discard among brethren.” (Proverbs 6:16-19). For parents: “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.” (Proverbs 22:6). We as parents have a great responsibility to our children. If they don’t learn TRUTH, we cannot blame the Democrats. TRUTH IS STILL TRUTH no matter who is responsible. “For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God.”(Romans 3:23). That would include Republicans as well. What a shock. Being men, all of the Presidents have been a disappointment. All of them are (were) human, and none perfect. We are told to pray for those who are in authority over us. Perhaps that would help make them do better jobs.
This article was riveting. We really do need to be firm with our youth in our stand against the lies, fraud, greed and misinformation being fed them. Tough love works if we have the courage to speak up forcefully . It was a pleasure to hear from Mario Murillo whom I followed with fervor during the early 70’s, and on the Berkeley campus and streets. To see him resurface at this critical time is beyond what I had hoped for. He is on a fresh assignment from the Lord. He was chosen to do an encore of his Berkeley street ministry of several decades ago. Prayers for him will prevail even more fervently now than ever. Lord be merciful to us.
Amen to this word from Mario Murillo! We as God’s children are called to be God pleasers, not man pleasers. As we speak the TRUTH, which is total alignment with the Holy Spirit, the results are not up to us but are placed in God’s hands as we obey Him.
Amen. Thank you for speaking out in loving concern for our younger generations.
When I share with my 18-year-old grandson the reality of Jesus in my long and varied life (I am 84 and have lived/served in several coutries) he listens and responds; I hear the Holy Spirit in him as he chooses his way forward. We must speak up as we pray.
This article is so very true. Thanks for reminding us of the words of wisdom stated in Proverbs 19:18, “Discipline your children while there is hope, otherwise you will destroy their lives”. Alexander Pope said (in the Seventeen Hundreds), “As the twig is bent, so grows the tree”. Both are so very true. I thank God every day for a Mother who cared enough to discipline her children! It paid dividends!
ABSOLUTELY THE TRUTH! We’d much rather them wake up now, than wake up when this country is overtaken by communism, which is well on the way to happening! We MUST speak the TRUTH in love, not speak lies out of fear!
AMEN Mario!
Jesus warned us to beware of false teachers (the “wolves in sheep’s clothing”).
The Truth can (and must) be spoken in love. A major problem with this broken world is that communication has deteriorated due to all our “convenience” devices. We need to put more effort into truly connecting and communicating with others.
👍👍👍and Amen
Simply put, we have to be the “adults” in the room for the younger generations out of love and respect for them. Being dishonest and agreeing with bad behaviors, bad morals, and destructive behaviors will lead the younger people down bad roads to destroy them, their families, friends, and our countries. Speak the truth in love!!!!
I agree whole heartedly with Mario Murillo. The truth sets people free. The kids can handle it if it is explained in a loving way and a way they can grasp. Kids cower when they don’t know the truth. It makes them insecure and sheep like. Walk in truth and the whole country is stronger. Don’t just talk about the truth, live it. Young people are looking for examples and heroes to follow. Could that be why the Biden administration, and others like him, are taking History and any Biblical references
(heroes and perspective) out of the public schools. If we don’t learn from those examples, we are doomed to repeat the lessons that should have been learned by having them taught to us right now…before it’s too late
I think God for people who are willing to speak the truth in love. It’s what everyone needs more than anything else right now.
I believe it would be a great and very dangerous disservice to our children to agree with them on something that is evidently a wrong path just because we are afraid of loosing them. Evidently these christian young one have been swayed by the political and not the biblical so parents who need to reclaim their children need to stay firm on the biblical principles and love them enough by sharing the truth within those principles ultimately it is always their decision The youth today are following Biden mostly because of the media successful campaign of dislike toward Trump and they don’t really look at what is at stake here. Evil men of past history have openly said that their success was locked in getting the youth to believe in their lies and that seems to be happening again today, if they have the youth, even evangelicals, they can do whatever they want, a sad prospect So then how can we reclaim the youth? Certainly not by agreeing with them on their faulty thinking but by sharing the true of the Bible and much prayer, a lot of prayer 🙏
We must tell the Truth. Two wrongs do not make it right.we have to stand on Gods Word anything else is a lie from hell .we need more of the Fear of God.we will not lose this generation if we will only tell the the Truth.our Children are hungry for truth.put aside the flesh the selfies and food.Jesus is our Manna and we must be the Light of the World.we must walk in the light as He is the light of the World. Hope the eyes of the Blind In Jesus name.we must hear the Good Shepherd and follow No other voice. Help us Father to teach and train our Children in the Ways of You Father God. We must not lose this Generations in Jesus name and the Blood of the Lamb.We must stand for Truth.
It was helpful to me to read the comment of Carol Halma-Davidson. She reported that she prays the following scriptures: Acts 4:12, I Tim. 1:13, and Matt. 6:13. I attempted to share my belief in Jesus with my grandson a few years ago, in a way that I thought was loving and he became very angry. Since that time, I have prayed for him almost daily. Perhaps he has retained some of what I shared but I decided to trust that God would help him see the Truth. My daughter asked me not to discuss my faith with my “other” grandson. I am happy to have these scriptures to pray for “both” of my grandsons and I will search the Bible and include any other scripture that God shows me.
God bless you for laying your life down to disciple your friend. What a blessing you are and a Godly example to your children.
This spot on message isn’t just about millennials. This is about society as a whole. Young people must be taught how to make good, informed decisions. Many parents and adults want to be “friends” with young people and have everyone “like them”, and this is not good for anyone. It is far more important to be strong mentors and role models. It begins with being open-minded, being a good listener, and being a good communicator. Ask people about their opinions and ask them why they think this way. Make them explain their position to you. I have always felt that one of my most important duties as a parent was to raise children that have the skills to be independent adults. I will always be there for them, but they need to know how to weigh the risks and benefits of every decision they make and pray for guidance.
Amen. It is past time to start voicing the truth. Ministers on tv will not preach about heaven and hell! I didn’t agree with everything Trump did or said but he was God’s anointed president. The left hates him because he wouldn’t play their stupid games. He stood for us—the American people.
If we do not tell them the truth their blood will be on our hand!
Christians for Biden or the left is an oxymoron! If we as Christians don’t show the younger generation that righteousness is worth fighting for, they will remain deceived and passive to the truth. Instead of their video games and cell phones, they need to be given something of value that they are willing to fight for and even die for. If we don’t show them that the truth and freedom are worth fighting for and even dying for, they will never see the importance of it until it is too late. Coddling them is the easy way out, stand up for what is right!
Oustanding article!! I agree with you whole heartedly! You state everything so well, I could not dare to reiterate your thoughts. Good Job!!
This is so true! I see this in some of my grandchildren but happily not in others. It Seems to me those who see the false narrative are just angry and not able to communicate with their generation. Some just hunker down to church 3 times a week. Nothing wrong with that but let’s show them how to engage with their generation.
Besides the Bible and daily devotions, that’s probably one of the best articles I’ve read in a long time! Amen and amen, time we started standing up and leading rather than cowering and following. If God is for us, who can be against us! Time for a lot more Davids and a lot less scared army members ( the ones that were too scared to stand up to Goliath- their god was too small)! The One True God is our shield, our refuge! Let’s start acting like it!
I’ve always loved the honesty and straightforwardness of Marillo Murillo since I was first saved! He is speaking truth! And if we as believers don’t speak the truth and expose the lies of the enemy, our youth and our country doesn’t have much hope.😔
Our clergy never did the right thing by telling parishioners that they were OBLIGATED
NOT to vote for Joe Biden because of his abortion stand and anti-catholic policies.
The threat of excommunication or loss of one’s soul was not important enough!
I totally agree. We are expressly directed by God’s Word to speak the truth. Yes, we are to speak it in love, but like the author said, if we don’t tell them the truth, we are not being loving. Love wins in the end only if it is serving the truth! There is a day of reckoning for everyone.
There is so much to say because of the depth of what being done in the current political realm. Here are some bullet points to consider:
*forget about defending Trump or defaming Biden–it is not about them.
*forget about labels, especially the Evangelical one which the World has made a pejorative.
*Wear and defend Christian. A true Christian is evangelical in the proper sense of the word. Believers are told to do three principal things: Love God, Love one another, Share/tell others/spread the Word (which is to evangelize). One cannot be a Christian and be a “closet” believer.
*There is inadequate space to show the policies of the Progressives are anti-Christian, starting with the obvious Abortion; but it is much deeper than that. The list is long, but putting Science and Government ahead of or equal to God; elimination references to God in public places; the attacks on churches; the denial of the family as the base for society; the genderism programs flying in the face of man/woman; denial of personal pronouns; denial of basic freedoms; denial of Creationism even as an option for study; denial of the Judeo/Christian roots of the founding documents that are loaded with biblical references; their assumption that we can decide our own Truth as opposed to accepting any absolutes; their assumption that mankind (peronsonkind?) can destroy the planet that God created instead of knowing that the same God can heal any aspect that needs healing with the same breath with which God created it–that it will end when God determines it is time for the New Heaven and New Earth. The list goes on, but Christians must stand of faith in the written Word and defend those who stand by it and reject the policies that do not line up with biblical teaching. Keep faith in the living Word not in any earthly individual or governmental system or ever-changing scientific theory/theories or labels other than Christian. Stand strong to the end is the prayer for us all.
Agreed, Delmer. It’s important to be active in electing our government and understand what values and principles each politician is standing for. That being said, there is a much bigger war going on and much more at stake than the Presidency.
Dear M,
Thank you for your kind response. I agree wholeheartedly with your counsel! We are currently studying the book of John together and she is being mentored by a dear friend who is very wise and mature. We are encouraged by the evidence we see of Holy Spirit’s work in her heart. ♥️
I think he is right!
Lord give me, grant us who are Christ followers, the wisdom, strength and love to speak this truth to our sons and daughters and grandchildren!
For the Father’s glory,
Amen
The bible says, “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet not crushed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down but not destroyed.” 2 Cor.4:8-9 This gives us hope, and when we look back a few years, who is responsible? I believe we and the church have had blinders on and ignored what was happening all around us. I pray that our younger generation will come to their senses and see the truth in where Biden is taking this country. This scripture I pray, “Eternal Truth, expose the lies told by false religions. Reveal to their followers that salvation is found in Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven by which we are saved. Carry the weak and vulnerable to spiritual safety. show mercy to those who have acted in ignorance and unbelief, and deliver them from the evil one.” Acts 4:12; 1 Tim. 1:13; Mt. 6:13 In Jesus Name, Amen.
To continue your 2Cor passage “always carrying about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life of the Lord Jesus also may be manifested in us.”
AMEN!!! I am a mother of a millennial daughter who is struggling between what she knows to be the TRUTH and all the lies that have influenced her. My husband and I pray daily for the awakening of this generation!
A good amount of that struggle can come from progressive friends & employers (social pressure). I definitely recommend creating some “distance” in those relationships/exposures where possible as that has helped me. Even getting away from certain media outlets and instead focusing on getting more into Bible study and learning history to get an accurate view and be able to combat the worldly influences. Some resources that I’ve found helpful are below:

Totally agree with Mario Murillo!
Save them by telling them the Truth!! That’s how we save our youth!
In Jesus’ Name!’
How can anyone capable of even a single cogent thought embrace both abortion (the Party of abortion) and Christianity?
I’ve wondered the same thing????
They justify it by saying they are being merciful since the child could suffer if it’s born unwanted, poor, etc. Also that someone who has an unplanned shouldn’t have to live with a lifelong consequence, whether raising the child or living with the emotional aspect of placing a child for adoption. It’s a very twisted way of not addressing the causes of sexual immorality, broken households, etc. which all stem back from a lack of communities, families, and individuals not following Biblical Christian principles. I’ve seen many people deceived by this reasoning.
It is absolutely necessary to teach our children the dangers of the world. Stop with the soft love, tough love when they get to high school is absolutely necessary. It will be much easier for them to deal with that tough love than the reality of thsi very dangerous secular world. They need it and you can always bring them home, greet the like the prodigal son was welcomed if they are ready for the tough world out there.So many examples in the Bible attest to this. Read it, share it with your grown, almost grown children. When they are 40, they WILL thank you.
Amen!
As a child my mom said, “do not take the well-worn path.” I am almost 80 (praise God) & i will not say the journey has been easy; many times it has been difficult. It has been worth the trials & troubles though. When i did go the other way with “friends,” it was fun & party time but i only became poorer spiritually & financially. That’s a lot to lose for Happy Hour. The “fun” dissipated as did the “friends.”
My Pastor, God Bless him, always wakes us up with the lies that are being told on MSM. He informs us of all that is going on because he cares about this country and people desperately and voices it from the pulpits because people need to know. All pastors should inform their congregations of the lies that are being told by the false prophets.
I agree whole heartedly!! Our older generation must speak the truth in love that the Bible is true and is our roadmap to happiness and security forever. I’m so glad that most of my grandchildren have memorized scripture since they were young. I am just praying that the Lord will bring it to mind as they have the big decisions in life.
I know so many good and real Christians with whom I share the stage with when playing music on Sunday mornings who are Biden supporters and it’s usually not because they’re pro Biden, but because they’re anti Trump. As long as these people are watching MSM, involved in pop culture, etc., they’re getting a massive daily dose of liberal indoctrination that’s very difficult to overcome at home or in church.
We see the truth when we read and watch our subscriptions and programs, but they don’t see it. And because of this, issues like global warming and wearing a mask rank among the top of the stack of important issues.
This article mixes up their need for salvation and knowing they’re sinners with political persuasion. Our kids have fallen away from Jesus and his truths and that’s why they’re going to hell. Straighten that out and stop coddling them over that truth!
Don’t even call him “president” God doesn’t see it that way will NOT keep it that way! The election is illegitimate and I was saddened that even IFA is using the “p” word and ignoring THAT truth. TRUTH is truth let’s call ALL things that are lies lies not just SOME! Biden is like Adonijah who “MADE HIMSELF” King and then Solomon was really supposed to be king and David had to right the wrong. “Solomon” IS and will be back! Trust the prophets and you will be blessed! Mario Murillo does and he says it on Flashpoint as well.
Amen. Just because Biden and his helpers stole their position doesn’t mean it is theirs.
very well put. I would add I choose God and Jesus Christ over anyone on earth including family. That’s what our Savior did! Hard decision I know. But prayer for both the family and your peace will do wonders.
Perhaps this started WAY before the millennials.(Satan, the destroyer). Society is deteriorating. The enemy is raging. Every generation can look at the break down of the next. Instead of rebuke let there be discipleship. Instead of accusation let there be training. Let’s ask the Lord to begin to lay someone from the generation below us on our hearts to take under our wings. That’s Biblical (Titus 2). Soap boxes never change people. The blood of Jesus, His presence and power changes people. The Living Gospel. We need the church to wake up, whomever is left in it.. About 50% dropped off in the last 12 years!
Let’s be intercessors who hear what God speaks and let’s move!
Let’s come alongside the one walking in fear and sin, let’s pray and speak words of eternal life into them. They need the truth brought to them in love and through relationship and investment in their lives. We need our young people to be encountered by the Living God! The Man Christ Jesus; the One waiting to return for a spotless bride. A bride United in love. He wants to partner with us to break the power of darkness over a generation, and Shepherd their hearts.
In our ministry each young person or young each couple has an assigned mentor who gets in their lives, and builds report to guide and lead them in the truth of the Word. It’s time consuming and draining, but it’s rewarding. Some stay the course, some return to their own way, but we have arms wide open to them, and we continuously point them to the cross, and to the Bridegroom King, Jesus.
It’s part of the Great commission… Share the gospel and make disciples. Matthew 28: 18-20 We can do it. I pray that the Lord raises up the older generation as one who lay their lives down to disciple the younger generation.
Galatians 6:1-2 (NASB) Brothers and sisters, even if a person is caught in any wrongdoing, you who are spiritual are to restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness; each one looking to yourself, so that you are not tempted as well. Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.
In Christ love,
Amen! I am an older millennial and what pushed me away from church was a church people who sang the praises of Jesus and talked about serving others and going after that 1 sheep, and yet, the people were too busy with their own social circles and things to do to recognize that I as a teenager was hurting and needed to be discipled. Even since I have come back to Jesus, I find it’s hard to hang out with Christians. They always have their own social groups already set and are too busy to hang out or come serve. And this is true of both conservatives and liberals. How many conservative pro-life Christians do you know who will actually go outside to pray at an abortion clinic? I do and I have three kids so the idea that someone doesn’t have time is a lie. I know many Christians who say they are for this or that, but when it’s time for the rubber to meet the road, they don’t want to sacrifice the time and energy. I recently lead a friend to the Lord and I’m discipling her. I constantly have to keep her in prayer or she will cancel on our appointments to study the word, or she will not pray daily because she gets weighed down by her problems. It’s exhausting to pray that much when I have three kids to care for too, but she is my responsibility to pray for. When individual Christians are willing to lay down their time, their money, their convenience, in some cases their lives, we will see changes in Millennials. There is nothing God cannot do with a praying church who sacrifices for discipleship and truth. It’s the wanting to make someone see your point of view without doing the work to sacrifice for them that is not working in my opinion.
God BLESS you! Following Jesus, pouring His heart into the 12, with only 11 receiving and living His truth. Thank you for shining the Light that speaking the truth in love is not easy, but he who continually goes forth weeping, bearing his seed for sowing shall, doubtless, come again with rejoicing, bearing his sheaves with him (or her).
May your tribe increase!
I first heard Mario Murillo speak at an AG church in Lutherville, MD, in September of 1986, where spoke and healed a man named Warren Rogers. Every time I have heard Mario, since, he always told it like it was. No ear tickling just between the eyes truth.
It appears to me that Biden supporters who call themselves Christians don’t believe the gospel – or much of anything else in the Bible. Their god may look more like Santa Claus than the Lord Jesus. They would not behave as described if they really knew the realities of sin and eternal damnation and the wonders of our Lord’s crucifixion, burial, and resurrection. Maybe those parents as well as their children need to SEE, HEAR, and ENCOUNTER the gospel. However, if we glower at sinners because they act like sinners, are they likely to be willing to hear anything we have to say? Lord, open our eyes and teach US how to show Your power, Your truth, and Your love. Teach us how to show YOU!
I agree with Mario Murillo. I used to wonder about the scripture where Jesus says, “depart from me, I never knew you.” I don’t wonder anymore! There are many who call themselves Christians that either haven’t read God’s Word, or simply don’t know Him! God’s Word has the answer to ALL these problems: Socialism, rebellion, lawlessness, hatred, political correctness, wokeness, etc. Christians should have no part in those things and they should have the courage to speak out against them, but many are not.
We have an administration in power now that has ungodly policies. I can’t believe any Christian would support what they are doing.
Christian parents and grandparents have to be the “salt” and “light” to their children and others. It is THE TRUTH that sets people free! Some pastors in the pulpits have not done their jobs. Unfortunately, many pastors are too afraid of offending people and we are seeing the consequences of it right now! God will not hold us blameless! It’s not going to be easy, but neither was the cross our Saviour died on!
God is good and faithful to all generation
This is so unfortunate. Many people who say that they are Christians have allowed the radical socialists to deceive them into believing that their way of doing things is right. Lord Jesus, wake Your children up to reality! Show the young people of this nation the falsehood that is being thrust upon them, that the radical socialist agenda is wrong and evil. This nation is so in need of Christians that are wiling to take a stand against the socialist, Satan-influenced evil that is being thrown out there at them. The days of being wishy-washy, cultural Christians who are only lukewarm in their faith, needs to be over. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
Good for you Christalle! You obviously are following the principle of discipleship – planting the seed, putting in the time to disciple the person, and Holy Spirit will produce the harvest. May each of us be as diligent in carrying out the Great Commission. Your own children are witnessing your diligence and it will rub off on them.
I remember watching my father minister to the poor and this has certainly affected my willingness to do so as adults. If we truly love our children and grandchildren, we will tell them the truth about Jesus, Heaven and Hell, and their need for salvation while there still is time.
This is very sad. Where are the courageous ones standing for Truth and Righteousness?
This is right on! Remember when you were young & dumb; we need to stop thinking this generation is incapable of understanding truth; incapable of making their own decisions. We did. It may have gone against what our parents believed, but we also were able to make good decisions once we had the truth! Thanks for this article.
Amen. Thank you for those words of encouragement we need to continue to love our grown children by speaking God’s truth to them in love.
Never have I seen a time like this where there is so much division spiritually, politically and even over the corona virus (masks, vaccines, etc) We are seeing prophesy fulfilled. Little by little one baby step at a time we can continue to lovingly show them the truth, and pray for God to open their eyes to see those truths. 🙏🏼
Do Christians supporting Biden’s evil platforms read their Bibles??? It’s easy enough to wade thru the brain washing if you read the Bible regularly. Maybe they read and don’t apply what they read. Sad.
Lord, we bring those young family members to You. Please, Abba Father, bring each one into a life changing encounter with You, to the point where they are so hungry for truth, and they will push through the lies, even being willing to lose friendships. Give them grace and courage to be delivered from being wishy washy. In the Holy, mighty name of Jesus!
There are a lot of ignorant, brainwashed people who claim to be Christians but cling to racism and false promises of free stuff. Sad.
If we are followers of Jesus we are to stand for truth regardless. We show the WAY it is an individual choice for others to embrace the truth. We are either leading to the WIDE Gate or the Narrow.
Dear Lord God. Hallowed be thy name. ””there is something so special about that name, Guard our hearts Lord and make us see the right way to go. Guard our minds Lord that the devil can’t take from us what you have given us, and guard us, protect us, and find in us, mercy and grace that you have given us.
I agree 100% + with Mario Murillo! Christians need to wake up and stand against this evil and lies if the enemy!
Amen! The Church of Jesus needs to wake up and unite as a whole, one body, speak TRUTH like Jesus did in His day. His message was not popular but it was TRUTH! Can you imagine having to fight this spiritual battle we are in today with watered down scripture and trying to make people feel good? Where would we be? There would be no more freedom in the USA! I pray for scales to be removed from eyes and Holy Spirit give us ears to hear and eyes to see your heart for our day!
I know many older Christians who voted for Biden. They told me Trump was wrong for the country and I disagreed with them and asked them y they think Biden is better. The only thing they could say was Trump was a liar and mentally incompetent. I told them they r accusing Trump of what Biden has actually revealed.
My prayer is for these older Christians to come to know the truth and to stop listening to false narrative. In Jesus’Name. Amen☦️
Nancy, sounds like all they listened to about Trump was the “fake news”.
I no longer try to argue them out of their TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome). I ask them if they believe the New Testament. When they say yes, I mention that a huge amount of it is attributed to Paul. Then I remind them that Paul was once a terrible sinner, but he changed and that by their measure, there would never have been a Paul…people would have insisted that Saul be branded for his past. Then I tell them to evaluate people by their deeds, not what others say about them. Also, that God often uses unlikely people for His purposes to confound the “wise”. This approach has stopped several people in their tracks.
Amen, Rosa. I believe that “watered down scripture and sermons” are a big reason we are having to fight this spiritual battle today!! I agree, let the scales be removed from our eyes, in Jesus name.
You need to keep praying for your friend. Nothing is impossible with God.
I admire Mario Murillo and he spoke the truth as he always does. God bless him and his ministry that he will continue to speak God’s truth. I pray all of us as Christians will wake up before it is to late. I would suggest to all of you to read his newest book. It will open your eyes to just how lazy we have been as Christians. God forgive us.
The sad situation today,is parents don’t want to be parents, they want to be their kids’ friend. Anyone who thinks these kids are still Chritians, are kidding themselves. The democratic platform is not Christian; it’s about as far away from Christianity as you can get, and any parent, teacher, pastor or other who thinks they can keep their kids by giving in to this, are being led by Satan, not by God.
Why would people condon sin with their children. Because they dont want to lose them ? How foolish. Do they think about losing them for eternity in hell as well as losing their own soul.The parents are to blame for not teaching their children right from wrong when they were growing up. Parents didnt take the time to teach them the word of God.They didnt take them to church because church wasnt important to them..Not only that but the churches were & still are going away from the true word of God. People didnt want to hear about hell & sin. They wanted to hear what made them happy & condomed what they were doing.The parents passed that on to their children. Parents will have to stand before God as well as their children because they didnt take time to teach their children the truth. Not only that but the parents & many of the churches dont teach about Jesus & him cruified. That he shed his precious blood for all men. They have rejected Jesus the only begotten Son of God.parents have spoiled their children. When they become older the parents condom what their children do so they dont lose them.they dont know themselves the word of God so they just go with the flow to make everyone happy. There are many parents out there that drink with their kids so the kids will drink @ home & not out somewhere, but they still drink out with their friends The break down of the American family. They play right into the hands of satan.People do whats important to them.If a person says they are a true born again Christian they Wont support Biden. If they do they are also guilty of the murder of innocent babies. Plus many other dispictable sins the Biden administration has & is putting into law. All going against God & his word. Not everyone out here is as stupid as our Govt. Thinks we are. God said pray for your enemy’s. Prays for all that dont know God & His Son Jesus.our country is in deep trouble. I believe God is putting his judgement on America for the sins of man. We need a deep repentence in our country. AMEN
I totally agree, however we need to tell them the truth dripping with love.
It’s easy to be tricked, but it’s easier to be led down the path of destruction when the people you love and trust say absolutely nothing.
Amen! There is no fear in Christ Jesus. We have to be honest with our children/grandchildren and stop fearing losing them. If we don’t speak the truth we have already lost them. We speak the truth in love, it may be rejected at first, they may get angry but we surround them with our faith love and prayers and truth will prevail.
If I loose the ability to speak with them how will I persuade them? The are adults, in their 50’s and were turned off by Trump because of the bad press he got. Trying to reason with them becomes an argument that leaves everyone distressed and hurt. I’m at my wits end.
Jan,
We were running into the same issue. We began to pray for God’s direction and as we were led, we shared with them on issues rather than people and what the Word teaches us about those issues. We are starting to have more conversations. The Lord is moving on their hearts as they continue to learn things through the knowledge of truth. May the Lord grant us all wisdom to be led up by Him and speak as He leads us, as we share the hope that is within us. Praying with you for hearts of conviction.
Thank you, Cheryl, especially for your prayers!
Biden and the Democrats took God out of their last convention. What does that tell you?
Thank You Jesus for raising up Mario Murillo for such a time as this. Protect him and his ministry LORD. Magnify his voice as he speaks truth in Your power.
I pray You give him a great harvest of souls in Modesto, California, when his tent meetings begin April 18.
May the fire of Your Holy Spirit fall and spread throughout the state and across the nation in the Third Great Awakening.
I ask that the conviction of sin and righteousness and the fear of the LORD come powerfully on both believers and unbelievers, especially the Millenials who have been deceived. Set them free and deliver them from the lies they have believed.
May signs, wonders, and miracles of healing accompany Mario’s preaching to confirmYour Word and demonstrate Your power.
I ask all this to be done in the name of Jesus Amen.
Very well said, Mario!
Love this!!
My new favorite line —
“DONT smoke woke…!!!”
AMEN!
So very grateful for the boldness with which Mario speaks/writes. May our ears be open and those of our children and grandchildren as well to the Holy Spirit through Mario.
If God had coddled his own Son we would not have salvation. we are supposed to imitate God. Praise be to the Almighty for sacrificing his Son!
It’s called, “go along to get along”. Another one is, “agree to disagree agreeably”.
Like so many other catchphrases, both are DESTRUCTIVE!
I’M A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN. I could never support Pres. Biden in any way, shape, form or fashion. Which brings me to my point.
I call those who support Biden pseudo-Christians. America is chock-full of them.
I’m talking about the type of Christian that goes to church, but has never really gone to Christ.
There are a multitude of reasons why people call themselves Christians.
God gives us one reason whereby we may call ourselves Christian.
That reason. As an individual we have gone to and accepted Christ as our Savior!
If you’re a True Christian, you’re probably taking someone to heaven with you. Right?
Sorry but I cannot support pseudo Christianity anymore that I can support Joe Biden.
Many churches are losing membership because they are not “Biblical” enough. This washed-down prosperity-type of Christianity does not work because it is not God’s Word. Our Lord is very clear; you are either for Him or against Him. I want to see a difference in my life. Even our Lord said believers in Him would be considered “peculiar”! Truly, being a part of the “church of Laodicea” is present in our society, and that type Christianity just doesn’t hold up, especially with the problems we face in this day and age. But too many churches bend to society because of money, popularity, or acceptance.
As for a leader, I want a President that follows God Word, or at least attempts it. The approval of abortion, and NOT supporting Israel is against God’s word.
I forgot in my previous comment to say add that the Veil of Deception is being lifted. as Believers in Christ are repenting and praying! The Bride is awakening! Lord I decree according to the pattern of Job 22:28 that You are not only lifting the veil. You are shredding it! Your Blood is over it all! Let Faith Arise! AMEN!❤️
As usual, Mario leading the way by following Jesus 100% and going out/speaking out in boldness. Truth in love–mandatory, not optional
I pray every day that the spriritual eyes, ears, and mind of the youth will be opened so they will see the truth. I have some grandchildren who are pretty far left. They are not open to ideas or instruction. I pray everyday they will wake up and see the truth. It will take time and more prayer I guess. it is so true that they need to be aware. I am praying for a Third Great Awakening for the youth. They are a lost generation at this point.
The “Ground Wire “ ministry out of Castle Rock CO is purposefully reaching out to millennials. It is making a difference. Sean Dunn is the founder and president
Concern over “partisan division in the Church”?
Truth divides.
A mans enemies shall be those from his own household.
we have been saying for a while the silent majority had best become more vocal or we will lose everything.
Pastors need to stop being politically correct and start being Biblically correct. Present all Biblical truths, don’t pick and choose, preach against sin, not compromising, and leave the consequences to the Lord. They need to be awakened from their stuper, and be bold, hunger and thirst after righteousness. Fear God, not people. Parents, and all of us who proclaim Biblical truth need to do likewise. Christians need to be in the Word and to live it out! We are on the fast track of a slippery slope. We need to pray for fresh wind, fresh fire, an anointing that only comes from the Lord.
Could NOT have said it better! May God use these words to challenge us all! Joanne, you rock!
AMEN
This article speaks so loudly to me as a man who will be 30 this July. I’ve wondered how I could reach some of the people around my age and younger (as well as older) without being demanding and offensive or any of that, and the answer that I have come to find is LOVE. The power of love in the Holy Spirit breaks through lies, it is not by our own might or actions, but by HIS TRUTH, that millennials will see and learn and get saved and teach the generations to come about the Truth of the Word of God. HALLELUJAH!!!
JESUS IS LORD
As a mental health/trauma counselor who teaches Christian counseling, my concern is that some in my church use scriptures to beat up traumatized seeking or new believers. Condemnation is being wielded through rules and regulations instead of loving and sensitive growth and teaching for those needing the milk of the word. Due to a lack of love and sensitivity to the Holy Spirit in fiery would-be evangelists, I see a whole Pharisee movement poised to bring condemnation. People who have been physically and verbally beaten, abused, and put down all their lives are coming to church and getting more of the same emotional abuse. Lord, save us from the self righteous and teach us to minister the truth in love and compassion.
I’m 80 years old and I’m appalled at what I see! No disciplinary actins in this generation, has lead to lawlessness and disrespect for people and mostly authorities who suppose to know right from wrong! I disciplined my 4 children, now 52, 54, 56, & 58! All share the same beliefs, voted for TRUMP for the beliefs Trump has! We are now facing huge consequences due to lack of discipline and the extreme left, college professors brain washing minds of future generations! GOD ALONE I SEE AS UNDOING THIS CHAOS ONLY! PRAYERS!
Dear Heavenly Father, this idea that the younger generations are incapable of walking a righteous path is just one of the many lies that we must all rebuke. The current struggle seems to me very much one of truth versus deceit. As the author of this article wisely asserts, we must “Love them enough to tell them the truth, and do not destroy them!” Lord, I am sure any who bother to read my shared prayers have noticed over the last year how often I quote Isaiah 5:20, a verse I know you directed me to when I began to awaken to the true crisis of our time, but I think this current conversation is an excellent time to expand on that and remember Your truths expressed in Isaiah 5:20 – 24. These are such timely words of wisdom:
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the Lord of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Dear Lord, forgive us our failings in mentoring the younger generations and may we find the clarity, wisdom, and moral courage to right some of the wrongs we may have done, whether intentional or unintentional. May we as a nation embrace Your word, Your laws, and Your advise. May we stop coddling youth and instead teach them truth, courage, and values. May we turn them away from materialism and mind-numbing technologies and instead turn them to Your teachings. Lord, I fear that a growing number of the younger generations are losing a sense of right and wrong. Afraid to scratch their knee or go in public without a mask, they at the same time grow increasingly obsessed with the pursuit of pleasure and protection from the uncomfortable, to include ideas that challenge them. Lord, I also believe that many of them are losing, or growing up without, their sense of empathy for their fellow man and animals. Dear Lord, please grant us the courage and wisdom to push back against these wicked trends and help our youth. Through You all things are possible and I suspect that behind the eyes of even the most “conditioned” of our youths, there is still a deep thirst for truth and revelation. May we actively seek every opportunity to plant the seeds that will bloom in their own salvation. In Jesus precious name I pray O’ Lord, Amen.
Excellent, completely true! Terrible I have seen this disgusting thing of a so called Christian father teaching his sons to smoke dope! Unbelieveable it’s legal!
Amen and thank you for speaking out. As a Christian I could and would never support a candidate that thinks abortion is ok and shame on Evangelicals and Christians who say evil is ok just to save them. You are not saving them
My six children have been brought up with conservative values in a Christian home. I am trying to understand why my son who married a liberal Democrat has adopted his wife’s values and quite liberal mindset, to the extent that their children, ages 7 and 9 decide where and what to eat, where they will go on vacation etc. My grandsons are quite intelligent, but lack any sense of responsibility. Is that the liberal way of raising children?
We have an entire generation in need of prayer 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow! Good word Mario! We need to face hard cold reality with the Truth ofGod’s word and the Love of God in every Generation!
Lord Jesus, protect our children and grandchildren from the false teaching that are being shared with them. Convict our President, other leaders in his party and convict the teachers in our schools and colleges. In Your name we ask. Thank You Jesus.
This is for the whole Church and not just the young people!
Also we must preach the true word of God in our churches and homes. God is a God of order not. We must stand for truth no matter what.
Mario’s position on the Truth of God is right on. I will be sharing this with my pastors.
Mario is the best in your face evangelist for the Lord. He tells it like it is and wins more to Christ than any of the Pastors in clubs that call themselves churches. The word is very clear to train up a child in the way he should go. Parents neglect to imprint God by their lifestyle. Our example of bowing to every whim that comes down the path leads to death. What has happened ? Chasing the almighty dollar in exchange for their lives. How important is the biggest house, the latest car when your child takes their life? God doesn’t see color. Learn to look out of the eyes of Jesus,
They are getting checks like never before. We older don’t get unless hidden money somewhere. They dont understand somebody has to pay back with interest and it might be them. There are so many supposedly free avenues. I don’t see any common sense financial people in this administration. President Biden has no clue and somebody is pulling the strings and ruining America. Younger generation has not lived through hard times
Thank you Mario Murillo! Love your boldness and conviction and the work that you are doing.
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness of it, the world and they who dwell in. Psalm 24:1 AMP
They all belong to the Lord. Telling them the truth is the most living thing to do.
Whatever we compromise we lose!!!
I love this and am praying into it for truth to prevail, be spoken in love to our younger generations, and realized by a true relationship with our God. “Not by might, not by power, but by my Spirit, says the Lord”. Holy Spirit,sweep across our nation pour out your truth over our people, for it is not only our youth who desperately need you. It is all of us.🔥👐🔥👐🔥👐
So true. We need a mighty life changing revival all over the land. We must be abold people and take back our land. Its about our future and our children’s future .
I am concerned that many pastors are ignoring our changing culture situation. They teach “we should only love, not be devisive”. But speaking about God’s view on a nation’s sin of abortion, or our forefathers quest for freedom to worship IS showing them love by way of truth, just as Mario said. They can handle it–just as well as we did as young people. If they then choose differently, then that will be between them and their Maker. Our job is to speak, then pray for the Holy Spirit to water it and bring it to fruition.
I’m ready to risk losing them in order to save them. They belong to God. They answer to God! The Bible is for them to study too and we cannot draw near to God, and follow Him, for them.
I agree with Ronda, she is spot on. Read her comments, I couldnt say it any better. I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s and that is exectly whats happened.
Wow. This is so true. My brother smokes dope with his 21 year old with this same reasoning. It is heartbreaking to watch this young man, who has been in gifted programs all of his life in school, now sit on the couch and smoke weed all day. His dad keeps him away from me because he doesn’t want me to talk about Christianity. I pray for them every day
Good summary! Satan tempts us with the choices of licentiousness and apathy on one end(glory to Satan…) and self righteousness and perfectionism on the other (Glory to self…also glory to Satan!) Many churches have focused on “softening the Bible” to make it more palatable. What an insult to the GOSPEL!! Jesus told us Matt. 10:35…He came with a sword, John 8:32..that truth sets free, and Eph.4:26…that in our anger we should not sin. Satan makes headway anytime we focus on pleasing people rather than pleasing God. May our pulpits be alive with messages that convict and equip us to walk in BOTH grace and truth!
I set my face to seek the Lord for all.What I do know the truth will always win.Never give up on the word be bold and share the gospel of our Lord to everyone we meet. Blessings!!!
True. Let’s start putting Truth and common sense in action!
Great article filled with truth! I love the examples used in the section about becoming the most boring older generation. How true it is!!
Let this be a challenge to each and every reader to speak the truth, live the truth, and challenge others to do the same.
The words pro-life Christian and Biden or Democrat do not belong together. How can a Christian believe in MURDERING a God-given child entrusted in a woman for growth and safety? If we don’t teach our youth the WHOLE TRUTH we lose them in a furry hell come Judgment Day. What is more important? The inspired Word of God must be taught to our youth. Who on earth wants to know his children will burn for all eternity and not teach them salvation? I don’t understand.
I asked the question of a Democrat friend, She refused to discuss politics as she put it. And unfriended me.
You need to keep praying for your friend. Nothing is impossible with God.
Yes We must teach the younger generation what pleases God and what displeases them according to word of God that whatever is bad for our health is against Gods will smoking is one of them drinking alcohol another Speaking Truth in Love is a commandment of God we need to teach them Ephesians 4 Matt 5-7 etc
Too true. Lord, please give us the courage to speak the truth in love. Help us boldly proclaim the gospel truth to our families and friends. God never changes. He is the same yesterday today and forever. So grateful for that.
Truth sometimes is hard but is the right way to go
This article is so right! Since July 2019, I’ve hosted a Monday morning Free Conference Call. We pray for Truth on the Street for “those who come after” us, especially Millennials and Z’s. We started by praying for each of the 7 mountains and have added special emphasis to revival, the Bride of Christ, finding our own voices, fathers taking their places of leadership in the home, and other things. Though we are not a healing group, God has blessed us with some miraculous healings. It is a joy every Monday to be in His Presence together. We have prayed often for Mario and are so excited about the move of God gaining strength in our country. Thank you for posting this article. It thrills my heart!
God’s Holy, righteous, the way, the truth, & the life. He said “we are in this world but not of it.” WE need to stop doing what the world calls right & start doing what the WORD(GOD) says is right! We can’t serve 2 masters. We must be PARENT enough to tell our children the TRUTH in LOVE. If anyone gets offended by this article it’s because they’re not walking in the truth & must seek the word of God. Seek Him & you will find Him & receive His wisdom, which He freely gives. 🙏🏼📖🕊🌈❤️
We have to LOVE enough to say the truth! One evening I understood, “They chose Saul.” Our brothers & sisters in Christ chose “Saul” because they didn’t like Trump’s irreverence with the press and they wanted a President who sounded more Presidential. But, just as the Israelites, they did not fully consider the ramifications of their decision. They didn’t consider that Biden stood for murdering the unborn they just wanted anyone but Trump. Now, look what the choice is doing to this nation!
We must forgive and pray for them that they will know the Truth and be set free from the deception of the enemy.
AMEN!!
Amen!
The greatest deception of our time, “the woke movement. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
It is the truth that sets people free from lies. Amen.
Wow. The truth in a few short paragraphs! My best friend is editor of our local newspaper, calls himself Christian, yet he would laugh at this and never publish it. We have to come up with ways to get the truth out on all the media outlets etc! To all the parents that need help! Evil vs good! Surely this generation that’s smoking these lies don’t stand a chance if we don’t start with local elections and all up.. and get these people out. Big tech.. we have to stop supporting them. It’s up to God and us.. to do His will!!!
I find it interesting the issue is perceived as being Trump.
First off the issue is Jesus Christ & following him!!!!
Satan, the news media, and the Democrats have done an amazing job of conning the kids and just for the record and many of that adults. Ah, but please remember kids and adults are easily conned. I was when I was a kid and certainly have been at times as an adult.
As Christians, we need to have the courage, to tell the truth, and speak against the lies, and risk “losing” the kids. God will lead us to love, confront & persued the kids. Let’s trust him.
I’m asking a group of men to join me in getting on our faces and praying for revivals like Charles Finney did. Please study the corrupt times in history when Finney preached and see what God did. God saved millions! God is so much more powerful than corruption!
Care to join me in praying for revivals? Ah, there is a huge cost to doing this. We must confess our own sins and turn from our own wicked ways first.
God bless,
Exactly the issue. Politics is NOTHING but divisive and not the topic we should be on. Jesus. Period. I absolutely hate demonic Beijing Biden and cannot speak about politics with anyone who disagrees with me without chopping them off at the knees. How will that help change their (or my) eternal destiny. Paul and the rest of the apostles did not preach about Nero or anything about the government of their day! (They didn’t necessarily obey their government either… OR they wouldn’t have ended up dead … Paul was beheaded, Peter crucified, etc. They were preaching Christ. I love that you getting a group of men together and praying. Someone said that the nation is only as strong as the church, the church is only as strong as the family, the family is only as strong as the father. That right there will tell you what’s wrong with this nation. Blessings on your group of men!
Excellent! My heart is breaking over college age Christian granddaughter in liberal college, her father in liberal seminary, deceived and verbally chastised us born again grandparents …the church succumbed years ago, with “I’m ok your okay” and “All about me”…and lack of discipline from the Word of God, checked out of parenting to children running the home and working as teens , women so concerned about careers not choosing the most honorable one of raising up child for Kingdom purposes on earth as in heaven. We must pray AND say the Truth like Christ in Mark! Like
I completely agree with all that you’ve said. If we have to place blame, it would be my generation of mothers and fathers who also brought in all this “wonderful” technology that became our God. No one engages in conversation anymore, rather texting to speak. No more written word in letters or thank you cards. We all have allowed this to happen so our little boys and girls would have a “better life”. We’ve all been blinded and duped by the ruler of this world.
Is there hope? I believe so otherwise God would have wiped us out a long time ago. Believe it or not, we are a chosen generation that needs to stop playing church and get out of our comfort zone. We no longer can use age as an excuse, lack of education or any other excuse we can conjure up. God is waiting for His bride to rise up! Thank you Father for your grace, mercy and love. We’re not done but just beginning!
Wonderful article. Absolutely true….. My family is dealing with angry Adult children too. I admit I don’t talk politics any longer. It always ends up in poorly. They can’t or won’t admit to the good President Trump has done.
Instead of talking about politics, I choose to love them and talk Jesus.
This could be expounded upon to include the marriage between Eastern mysticism and Western psychology.
The people who grew up in the late 60s and 70s were so caught up in free love, remember that? Yet, a divide of consciousness began that Christianity didn’t exactly handle precisely or as encouraged by the Bible. No it became the hippies against the squares, Motown against folk music, and dropping out and tuning in. That generation begot a new generation of telly tubbies and new age television babysitters. Embracing lies for God’s word became the new whisper in our ears asking, “Did God really say” it like that or did it really mean this? And there were no coherent answers coming out of the church because they might lose their tax exemption.
So for the last 40 to 50 years people have chosen the lie over the truth. That is the deep sleep that has come over us.
Of course there were God fearing people among us. But many were overbearing without love to go with it. They pointed fingers if judgement without reconciliation. They were wise in their own eyes and didn’t know how to rescue the wounded with love, not did they recognize children being trafficked and traded around the corporate elite that was growing a mind of its own pretending to be philanthropic to humanistic causes.
Political agendas, correctness and doctrines of demons were pushed to the forefront of the daily news that we revered as the all knowing God of enlightenment.
That’s a whole generation of acceptance for the unholy Trinity that is the cabal of our day … and the people didn’t or wouldn’t THINK for themselves. They wanted your opinion or an ungodly therapist who put the blame anywhere other than where it belongs. “How does that make you feel?” they asked. You’re in need of some self awareness and for goodness sake you can be like god yourself.
Lord God Almighty, this is what we need deliverance from. Equip us, who know you, to do better. To love without exception not to cave under societal pressure of acceptance towards reprobate ideologies. If we are to see the millennial generation saved it will have to be under the power of the holy Spirit giving wisdom we didn’t understand before now. Yes, turn the hearts of the father’s back to the children and make them the spiritual heads of their homes. Remove the feminist curse from among men and make us make and female once again according to our own kind.
Give us love and patience without condescension or personal judgement. No, let the love of God be seen and emanating from our hearts and our souls. Amen.
Amen amen amen!!! So much truth in this comment!
Oh my! Your comment is so right on! Who could say it more perfect! Thank you!
A thousand amens to your comment. I grew up in the sixties and know exactly of what you speak. “The curse of feminism” is exactly right. So not “woke”, but exactly right.
Let the scales and blinders fall off the eyes of those so..called..Evangelicals..let the Glory and Fire of God fall on them burning off all deception and save them..bring to True Salvation!! In Jesus Name.
Thank you for speaking TRUTH. My mom lived the Christian Life without words unless they were necessary.
I totally agree with him. People need the truth, and yes, Pilate, there is truth and you were looking at Him face to face when you asked that question. The Bible is full of THE TRUTH and every age needs to be learning from it. The framers of our American constitution knew that. See Titus 2:11-14for how to live in the present age.
I totally agree with what is written! Jesus stood for us in humility and love and here we are. Jesus on the inside and His love flowing through us to rescue another generation!
I remember as a child thinking and questioning my Mom that I knew that something had changed in the mid 60s. It had! ! After prayer was taken out of public schools the thick veil of deception was dropped over our nation while the multitude slept. Within a decade Abortion was legalized and I didn’t even know what it was. The wheat and tares started growing together. The lies, materialism, consumerism, etc grew exponentially along with the evil spirits of pornography, and immorality.The” if it feels good” movement moved into every area of culture including the Church where the spirit of religion (especially in the mainlines) told us to do our duty, but Truth and power, and Jesus as a Savior? Who paid an awesome price with His suffering and Blood,? And much less Holy Spirit, the convictor with Truth and Power given to guide, and heal!
. Adults were confused as they had come through a Great Depression and been thrown into a huge World War and then Korea. I actually remember being told by an adult when I was 19 that he envied our generation; that we had the answers and we were so lucky that we could sleep around with anyone until we found the right one! . There was no more right or wrong and it was becoming tangible. The snowball had started rolling.
There was an awesome movement of God that swept through our area in the early 70s but it didn’t stay. Grounding didn’t happen for many.
We are seeing the consequences now. Free love lead to the breakdown of Families. Folks chasing after the lie of next best thing, Hollywood confirming our flesh thru media and entertainment. The family didn’t withstand the onslaught, so many without Fathers in the home. The twisting of the American Dream by making it a material idol to be chased after at all costs, the great lie that Gods Word can be used anyway we want to use it to assuage our consciences. The consequences are heavy. The bondage of guilt, shame, and sin can only be handled by a mighty God, a merciful Redeemer! Praise God! Jesus Christ paid for all of it! I love thinking that He came in Grace and Truth! Not just one or the other but both! ThankYou Pastor Marillo and many others who are leading that way to heal and lead many out of sin! Delivering the grace of Mercy but the truth in love! May God Bless you mightily!
Thank you for coming out and calling a spade a spade. No, I don’t believe you can be a Christian and embrace the Democratic ideals anymore – and we need to pray for more people to see this. The god of this world has blinded so many. I have actually heard people that justify supporting the Democrats by claiming “Jesus would have been a socialist”. No, Jesus didn’t tolerate sin – period. Paul told the Thessolonians, “if you don’t work, you don’t eat”. There is nothing in the Word of God that supports anything in the current Democrat agenda. We need to continue for blinded eyes to be opened and that that light shine through the darkness.
Wow! I’ve been struggling with this with my daughter and a good friend of mine. We both have 2 children. We both have one woke and one seeking the Lord. Both woke children have served the Lord wholeheartedly in the past and are intelligent and passionate. And then something happened insidiously that I wasn’t even aware of and I had a Christian adult child saying things like pro-life isn’t the only issue! My friend has chosen to be quiet as to not “lose” his child where we have begged God to give us the words to express the Truth in love in a way they can hear. It is not popular. But we will not lose our children to Satan because God has already won the victory. Our friend ridicules our efforts and continues to coddle. They spend a week as a family and spent most of the time trying to reconcile the siblings relationship without addressing the real issue. Sad. Oh Lord wake us up! Speak to our children. Remove the scales from their eyes. Thank you Mario for this timely article and words of encouragement.
Common sense. Thank you!
Thank you, Mario, for getting in our faces! Truth hurts, yet if we don t press in & pray we continue to lose another generation! I grew up during the sexual era. It was awful& the church did not have a clue what to do. Same programs but nothing about Jesus as Lord of our life. A few did battle but mostly in their own strength. My spirit aches for our country&youth now. Do we suit up for battle in the power of Holy Spirit or let Satan have his same old way…fear? Lord help us!
I agree on the heartiest terms. But I have to say we all share blame. In 1972, while in the Air Force, A Jimi Hendrix concert was held in Denver. Many young impressionable airmen were asked to compliment the security force. We were told point blank not to do anything if we saw someone smoking pot unless they were a danger to themselves or others. So, like a frog in a pot of cold water, we have tolerated sin as the burner has been gradually turned up, until we’re now close to losing a generation and getting cooked ourselves. Sadly, along the way, we have also tolerated the erosion of the value of Family and life itself. Violence and aberrant sex on TV and the movies, and the murder of over 60 million beautiful babies is proof. As this 74 year old sees it, there is only one answer to this dreadful mess. Jesus. Not the democrats or republicans. Only Jesus. That’s my litmus test going forward.
Thanks for some clarity as to why some Christians would support this administration. It is hard to understand unless they compromise God’s word to placate man. Standing with evil and not against it to save one’s skin or reputation or job has never worked throughout history and will never work now.
The body of Christ has failed to keep the Main thing the Main thing. It must deeply break the heart of our Lord.
“Who will rise up for me against the wicked? Who will take a stand for me against evildoers?” Psalm 94:16
Awesome and Amen!! I had to share recently with my millennial son that Jesus is the Only way!! He was thinking that everyone can choose their own version of a “higher power”. I’m so happy I did tell him the truth because I love him and do not want him going to hell. We have a great relationship. They will respect you for speaking out about what you believe and it will work in their hearts eventually through prayer!!
Powerful, true, and so imperative! This generation has been lied to for too long. Truth is absolute, and we need to demonstrate to impressionable young people why truth is able to be discerned, how it’s impossible for contradicting ‘truth claims’ to be true, why Christianity has intellectually satisfying evidence, and why it’s imperative not to compromise with the agenda of the left.
Truth. Thank you Mario.
The Church will not address current political and issues, and Pastors will be held accountable.
If Jesus were making the rounds today do you think he would address the issues of the day?
I left a church that cared more about appeasing both sides than proclaiming truth. I have thankfully found a church where the pastor boldly speaks truth from the pulpit and a youth pastor who does the same. If your church compromises the truth of the Bible in favor of political correctness, leave that church. If you stay, you’re part of the problem.
Amen Julia!
This is the truth! It is hard for me to understand how the church has been bewitched by the left. All Christians should have to listen to someone who has been tortured in the name of their beloved communism to help them understand how evil it is. Trump was not perfect by any means-but we will someday see he was the firewall between freedom and the tyranny of communism. I pray routinely that the church would wake up and stop embracing/promoting this evil. God have mercy.
Spot on, Mark.
He is definitely on target. Think about what happened in Germany, many a Christian did not speak up against what was happening not only to their country but to the church and family. This kind of cowardice brings forth a generation of exactly the same mindset and it continues. We have listened to the “experts” instead of God’s Word for advice on raising our children. We are now reaping what has been sown. I pray that as a people that valued God’s Word will once again start reading and praying to God and plead for our country, our children and HIS Presence not to leave us. We have left our first love; unless we pray for God’s forgiveness personally and as a collective body we may be seeing much worse than we are seeing now. Benjamin Rush (1791) once said that if we ever take the Bible out of school we will have Biblical illiteracy, because you rarely start studying the scritures when you are older. Christian homes need to make God’s Word a priority or it will become of little importance. We have had 50+ years without Biblical emphasis; we now are basically Biblically illeterate. When teenagers were asked to quote the first 5 words (as was shown on Jeparody’s teen week episode last year) of Psalm 23 not one of them could. The “woke” generation is a result of previous generations; we are to blame, especially professing christians. Per Historian, David Barton, stats show that 70% of all christians do not study the Bible at all; 95% have never read the Bible one time through in their lifetime. We are talking christians that profess Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior and we haven’t even read HIS MESSAGE to us. We are to blame and our churches are preaching anything and everything except that message that will bring a much needed world wide revival. God will not always strive with man; God is patient and loving, but He is also a God of judgement that will soon be upon the nations as it was in Biblical times. What we are beginning to experience now reminds me of times in the Bible when God’s people went after other gods and HE left them to serve these other gods… most of the time it was for years. If we believe the Holy Scriptures then we must believe that time is very short and God’s warnings and judgements are already upon us. Unless we truly repent and weep before our Holy God for the sins of our country, then we will not see the blessings of God, we will see the intensity of God’s judgements. God is Faithful and will not go against His Word.
Amen! Lord, by Your Spirit, teach us how to really LOVE them.
Well said! Like Mario I’m sick of woke Christians. Where is our firm stance for Jesus! My soul and my children’s soul is more important than being woke!!
REAL Christians CANNOT support Biden!……………..Impossible….. unless you live in a cave.
AMEN AMEN! And, we need to stop preaching “Church” to the Millennials. 50% of those with a Church background say they have no use for the Church. This is one reason why. Like Mario, we must lovingly share Jesus…His way, His truth, His life. No other way. “Church” will take care of itself as Millennials come back to their first love. They will be obedient to “not for sake the gathering of themselves together.”
I agree that our youth can handle the truth. They’re just not hearing it. They have been brainwashed by a lying culture. Lord, remove the power of influence that our schools and the media have. Open the eyes of our youth. Bring revival to this generation!
How in the precious name of Jesus can you support this administration when God is not wanted, babies are killed by the thousands through abortion, and now are just left to die after birth if not wanted?
Jesus said, “Suffer the little children unto Me, and forbid them not.”
Do these Christians even read their bibles?
Everything about this administration is anti God.
Our youth have been given things in place of love and direction. The parents are not teaching them as the Bible commands us to do. Their parents have become self sufficient and want the children to become the same. They rely on money and things and themselves. They’ve made those their gods. The children have been left to bring up themselves because their parents are always working to get more so they can give them more but nottheir time. They have no time to teach them respect for other’s property, love of God and our nation. They set no boundaries because they want the children to like them. They want pals not children. It turns out that children want parents and when they become older they have nothing but contempt for the values of their parents so they act out by choosing what their parents do not support. They are acting out. Also the schools are at fault. The curriculum is terrible. Everything is changed not because of necessity but because someone has been sold a bill of goods and thinks they will make a name for themselves with something new. I believe technology has also not helped. Children, even very young ones are handed cell phones and tablets to occupy them instead of the attention they deserve.
When a child acts out they are looking for attention. Instead of going to the child the parents keep telling them to stop doing whatever it is and the child pays no attention because that’s what they get from their parents.
We are living in dystopia at this time which makes life more stressful. Every thing is upside down and backwards.
I’d like to say I’ve seen parents who are doing a great job because they have taught their children well, at least in behavior but if you look
at churches in our area you see very few young people or children. I believe God is sending warnings to us as he did through the prophets of the Old Testament. Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Once He is eliminated in life every commandment becomes broken. I pray that His love will be strong and carry us through so that we can become the people He wants us to be. We are on a pilgrimage. He is working on us every day to make us closer to His image as He created us.
Once must discern “are they truly Christian “
You may think you are saving them in this life, but what about eternity. We are just passing thru, this is not our eternal home
As a house mother a long time ago for teen challenge: truth is better then enabling a teen in their years of youth. Drug addiction starts with the first smoke: first bottle of booze: first popping mom or dad’s pain pill: which leads to the road to hell:brother murillo is correct: for the heart of the youth look for a missing link to their CREATOR: as parents to nurture and to show the truth that JESUS YESHUA is our banner with HIM all things are possible and if they need a high above all highs: its found in the HOLY SPIRIT KADOSH falling and in filling them. The LORD ALMIGHTY had me praying for our nation,leaders and our families:declaring psalm 33. These churches that condone Biden’s administration and democrat-socialist party:and getting high: need to go to the altar and ask the LORD ALMIGHTY for eyesalve: for in revelation 3:18-19 JESUS YESHUA tells the church of Laodiceans : I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire,that thou mayest be rich;and white raiment,that thou mayest be clothed,and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear; and aniont thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. as many as I LOVE,I REBUKE and CHASTEN:be zealous therefore, and repent. ( I pray that they will do so that the generation after generation be saved: for GOD OF HEAVEN gave them to us as gift to nurture and bring up in the admonition of the LORD.
Unfortunately., Pastor’s today don’t want to address politics from the pulpit. They’re more concerned with losing their 501c3, than they are addressing., why we need to vote for candidates who stand with Biblical principles; also too many Pastors want to be politically correct and have signed on to BLM etc
I can’t help but wonder if these people really have accepted Christ as their savior. I question anyone with Holy Spirit living in them being able to vote for child sacrifice. What have they really taught their children? Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it.
At present we are serving in a foreign country as missionaries. We are distraught and sad at what young missionaries are teaching. Teens are taught self-actualization, meditating on themselves, caring first for their own needs and then “we can pray also.”
Broken & Dark are words that come to our minds. Are missionaries leading the lost to Christ or to themselves???
Yes we must pray that Christian teachers and professors dump the God of this world!!!
There will be no hope for the future of America if the
Anointed Truth is not delivered to this generation.
Many professing Christians may lack basic Biblical doctrine or have not studied Genesis, Jeremiah and other passages dealing with the creation of life. Genuine believers however cannot support an anti-life candidate nor LGBT nor transgenders period. That SHOULD leave Biden with only non-believer support , however that’s not the case since many professing Christians are not genuine
He who loves children spouse etc. More than ME is not worthy of ME.
I used to think that was harsh but having undersyood it I warned my children of Hell.. the Gospel is deliverance from judgment and such judgment is the judgment of God.
This time is the time of the great falling away, the great apostasy. Cling to the Cross because the Storm is coming.
Lord I pray for the knowledge of The Lord to be taught to the younger generations. Numbers 24:16 “the utterance of him who heard the words of God, and knows the knowledge of the most High, who sees the vision of the Almighty, who falls down, with eyes wide open.”
Knowledge of the TRUTH.
1 Timothy 2:4 “who desire all men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the TRUTH.”
Lord mat they have and know the fear of the Lord. Proverbs 2:5. 2 Cor. 10:5 “casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” Lord may it be so according to Thy Will and Thy Purpose. Pluck our precious children and grandchildren out of the darkness and lies and deception of this world and pursue them without ceasing for Your Glory and Praise. Raise up WARRIORS for such a time as this and for future generations. Thank you Jesus. Amen and Amen
This is so true. For years I have seen Christians head to college and in a year come home totally changed from the Christian values they were taught. It has concerned me for a long time. It’s time to speak the truth!
That is why our girls stayed at home their first 2 years of college so we were there to guide them. 18 year olds brains are still open to suggestion and need guidance
I believe like you said, our youth are ready to hear the Truth! All of America needs to hear the Word simply spoken as God clearly speaks to us without caring what men say. God’s will be done, His Kingdom come! It’s the only way to live life fully!
Not harsh enough…
I agree with everything in this article. We must speak the truth as every Spirit filled believer has done in generations past. Then God will always do His part in drawing sinners back to himself, no matter what their age or culture. Heb. 13:8
Ever since I turned my life over to Christ I have been a conservative and have chosen conservative/republican pols and I have always thought how can a person who calls themselves a Christian vote for a person who believes in abortion and other liberal ideals that doc not go along with biblical views – even when the person says one thing watch what they do in the legislative offices – we are going to be held accountable for our choices – I don’t believe people who call themselves christians and vote for an anti-God party can be one in the same oil and water don’t mix
Mario is absolutely right. “Train up a child in the way he should go and when he is old he shall not depart from it.” Proverbs 22:6
This is where teaching from the OT is so important, for there is nothing new under the sun. In the OT children and babies were sacrificed to moloch and the same is happening now. Rape, torture and murder caught on tape and used for blackmail of the highest levels in our govt. Trafficking children, adrenochrome, satanic ritual abuse, all right under our noses by those fave ‘celebrities and entertainers and sports idols’. Ans the church remains silent.
We are at the precipice. May we have the fortitude to speak truth and life, be not deceived for your enemy seeks whom it can destroy
Oh Lord have mercy!
As J Vernon used to say either the Bible will keep you from sin or sin will keep you from the Bible.
EVERYTHING that can be shaken will be shaken. Abba Father thank you for the great shaking that is taking place in America. Thank you for exposing truth to our young people. Thank you for exposing the enemy at every corner. Thank you for the great awakening from border to border and coast to coast in America and the nations. We praise you for a Revival in the USA. Glorify YOURSELF LORD.
Lord, open the eyes of the believer and unbeliever to see the truth and cause them to pursue righteousness. Let us stop playing church and wake up and become the nation that is skilled to spiritual warfare for righteousness.
Absolutely on target. Too many have never been told ‘No.’ So many things we used to count on to help shape children into productive men and women, productive citizens have been torn down. No respect for authority, government handouts, safe spaces. Parents that are still trying to live their children’s lives for them.
‘Prepare the child for the road; not the road for the child.’
Ephesians 6:10-11
God bless all.

There is so much wisdom in Mr. Murillo’s words, wisdom that cannot be found anywhere in the government, media, or most educational systems. Those entities are now filled with committed marxists who have all sold their souls to satan for wealth, power, and control, none of which will exist at all when they leave this life to meet Jesus face to face. What will be left behind is the destruction their evil ideologies have created, and that is what we must fight with all our hearts, minds, & souls.
We have faced this problem in our family as some have turned their backs to God despite our best efforts to guide them to Him. It is heartbreaking though we still have to try to reach them, and we will spend the rest of our lives doing that while we pray daily for God’s mercy to touch their hearts in ways they cannot deny.
Amen Mario…I believe 98% of people do not like any type of confrontation oe to be asked “hard” questions that target accountability. Biden, Harris and Pelosi are prime examples of evading hard questions. People didn’t like Trump (and some state governors) because he asked hard questions and gave direct answers. What most fail to realize is that all are accountable before our God and our Savior. Therefore it is easy to follow along and make everyone happy rather than read the word of God and live accordingly. Until we preach and live by the book, we continue to allow millenials and baby boomers to self destruct. Pray for all and that Gods will be done.
The only real problems we have are caused by believing things that are not true, and not believing things that are true. It’s only by speaking the truth in love that anyone can grow up into Him in all things (Eph 4:15). And it is nothing but unbelief that would cause a parent (or anyone serving in an oversight capacity) to think that lukewarm is better than nothing, whereas the Lord said the opposite (Rev 3:15-16).
Not only the Millenialls but I know a lot of Baby Boomers who fall into this category of Hood Winked that need prayer. These Baby Boomers have no idea the sin they are supporting they say Gods knows my heart and I don’t believe in Abortion, Trans Geneders and the LGBT MOVEMENT and they don’t see that their vote condones this sin. So sad that these Baby Boomers are active members in Our Churches and see no wrong in their support for the Democratic Party and its Platform and Ideology. More sadder is that the Pastors and Elderships permit them to hold positions in church authority. Prayers for all the Hood Winked especially the Baby Boomers who are not reading and listening to All Scripture just what they want to hear and and following the Wolves in the Sheep’s Clothing to condone their sin of voting and supporting the Democratic Platform and telling people God is all Love and no Wrath.
Mary, I see the false teachers in our Church as well. They are leading their flocks on the path to Hell. We must fight them as we cannot remain silent, for as Dietrich Bonhoeffer said “Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”
We MUST fight evil whenever and wherever it is found, even to the point of losing our life to tyrants which is what Bonhoeffer did. How can we do less and call ourselves Christians?
Mario is the best. He is doing Gods will. We are in an Acts of the Apostle Moment on steroids. Bringing people into the Christian fold is Gods desire and especially right now. These new ‘on fire with God’ Christians, after biblical training and biblical Constitutional training will be the great conservative leaders in our country. See Mario most weeks on Victory Channel’s Flashpoint. He is the voice of God’s reasoning!
Lord wake up the millennial generation to the lies that are being fed to them ! May our Generation (baby boomers) set a better example of what it cost to live with freedom! May they hunger and thirst for the truth of the gospel to be real and relevant for this time in their lives .
Amen
To make our children aware of truth in a loving way will be a righteous seed planted that will lead them towards the truth of God. To allow them to believe the lies of the enemy will bring them more harm than good and the enemy will continue to take advantage of our lack of boldness to bring them back to the truth of Jesus Christ and our salvation. Do we really love our children if we do not share with them the truth of God. I think not. Dear Father open our hearts and minds to what you want us to say to our children in love that will lead them back to you. Dearest Jesus we pray for the salvation of all our family members that they will see the hope and love of God and run to you. Dearest Holy Spirit draw our family members to Father God, Jesus and Yourself that they would know the truth and the truth will set them free. In Jesus name, amen. You will know whom people serve by their fruit and Biden’s fruit does not reveal a heart that seeks after God’s ways or thoughts.
“If you love your father or mother more than you love me, you are not worthy of being mine; or if you love your son or daughter more than me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you refuse to take up your cross and follow me, you are not worthy of being mine. If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for me, you will find it.
Matthew 10:37-39
The plainly stated truth : You cannot be a democrat if you are a Christian. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord.
This makes me very angry! The problem as I see it, being a grandmother to 8 grandchildren, is in the parents!! Jesus said “don’t look in the mirror and then forget what we see!” I see in these parents total deception, blatant hypocrisy, white washed tombs, Christian’s in name ONLY, I recommend they READ THE BIBLE if they have one!
My son-in-law’s mom has coddled his 2 siblings in their drug use. They are now in their 40″s, still on drugs,jobless, expecting their mom to support them until she dies. The mom has lost her nice house, her nice car,& all her retirement. As soon as she gets out of rehab from severe covid, she”ll have to go back to work to support them–she’s in her 70″s! Is this what you want for you & your sons & daughters? What happened to Honor thy mother & father? What happened to Love the Lord your God with all your heart?
I absolutely agree!! Part of the problem is that most Christian parents havent educated themselves enough on political issues (due to separation of church and state?) to be able to teach their millennial child. I have made sure, through the years, that both my sons know right from wrong and that moral standards come from the Word of God and that they must know what they believe in or they may be swayed! Great article!
Kelly, the concept of separation of church and state is a lie told by marxists to drive the Church out of our public lives. Jefferson only spoke of this in a private letter to the Danbury Baptists, but he did NOT hold that belief himself.
We must call out anyone who claims that phrase is legitimate, for it is a LIE of satan!
Very Good article. We need to call for a nation wide prayer to pray for our kids before we take any steps
Lord please help the young people, they are so lost, many don’t have good role models. Please bring someone who cares about them into their lives. Amen.
I 100% agree. The Bible tells us to teach our children the way of the Lord and discipline them. Lord God Open the Eyes of all of us parents to speak the truth and not fear evil. May we stand strong and faithful to you Jesus Christ Our Lord amen
Sounds luke the “real deal” to me.
My Bible says that His Word does not return to him void. I recall 10 commandments not 10 suggestions. There can be NO compromise with truth. David bent over backwards for Absalom. Look how that turned out. Raise a child in the way he should go and when he is older he will remember. No compromise. Truth prevents misleading our kids.
Abba thank you for Mari Murillo and his zeal to speak the truth. Raise up more servants like Him, who fear only You and not men. Be a wall of fire around his life, his family and his ministry. In Yeshua’s name!
As usual, Mario Marullo is right on point. Praise God for fearless leaders like him that have discernment, wisdom, and courage to speak the truth.
Amen I do not think the message is going to offend anyone other than the enemy of our souls.
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.
14 ¶ Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession.
Our problem is we have become ashamed of the gospel which is the power of God to salvation.
This was the content of my sermon a couple of weeks ago. Parents are not showing love but rather a lack of it. To teach our kids by words or actions that what is condemned by God no longer matters, is no longer relevant, and is totally normal and acceptable, is to lead them to the road to destruction; that is the worst kind of evil. God grant us the love, wisdom, and courage to teach our children the right way to live, as God-loving and obedient followers of Jesus Christ.
Amen
Thank you for speaking truth in love. May we all be bold & courageous for Christ. He loves us and if we will obey His Word we will have peace & joy.
Theres an old saying that is full of truth…”what is right is not always popular, and what is popular is not always right”..I agree with Mario Murillo…we must love others enough to tell them the truth in love, rather than just give in to what seems to be the “cultural norm”..”kids”of all ages deserve better..the prayers of a righteous man or woman, along with the above, availeth much.
