Revelation 3:2, “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.” Revelation 3:15, “I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot. So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.”

       One of my favorite preachers is Pastor Steven Anderson. I love the guy! Most of all I love that Pastor Anderson gets repentance and the free grace Gospel 100% correct, which is rare nowadays.

Any honest person who is pure of heart will see THE TRUTH of a free grace Gospel. If you seek the truth, you will ultimately end up at Jesus' feet (John 14:6). The great need of the hour is preaching preachers. God pity the preacher that the WORLD doesn't hate!

In 2025 to 2026, Faithful Word Baptist Church in Phoenix, Arizona, led 10,121 lost sinners to Jesus Christ. Brother Anderson personally led 182 people to Christ. Gotta love a soulwinning church! Unlike most of his Baptist peers who criticize him, Brother Anderson has faithfully taken a stand against the wickedness of this froward generation. God pity the preacher that the world don't hate!

I highly encourage everyone to listen to Pastor Anderson's Spirit-filled Bible preaching. The truth will change your life. Here are a handful of life changing quotes by Brother Anderson from his sermons, to God be the glory. Preaching is truth set on fire! ...

“They consider me radical, and I am not radical today, and don't you buy into that. And you know, I don't like when people from our church think: 'Oh yeah, our pastor is so extreme! He's so radical.' That is not true! I'm a Bible-believing preacher. There's nothing extreme or radical other than what the Bible is saying being extreme. If you want to call it 'extreme' or 'radical,' than that's what you're saying about the Bible, because there's nothing that I preach that is not in this Book. And if there is, tell me about it and I'll change it. I'll quit preaching it. There's nothing radical about what I preach. Our society has become radically wicked! And so, when a preacher just gets up and preaches a normal sermon, they think: 'Hey, you cross the line Buddy!' No, I didn't cross the line, you removed the landmark. You moved the line. I'm not crossing the line at all, I'm preaching the Bible today.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Man Of God” (February, 2026)

“You say, 'Pastor Anderson, do you want to be a successful pastor?' No, I want you to be a successful Christian. And so I'm going to be the kind of pastor that will make you successful in your Christian life.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Man Of God” (February, 2026)

“And look, what I think a lot of guys are looking for; they're just looking for that perfect Proverbs 31 wife right out of the box. ...they want just a ready-made perfect wife right out of the box; just Plug & Play, you know, just ready to go. But guess what, that's not the way life works. ...You better be ready to marry a wife with flaws!” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Be Not Bitter Against Them

“Faith, hope and charity will make a marriage work.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Be Not Bitter Against Them

“Our whole society (even 99% of churches) won't even back-up you as a leader in your home, men. Just be thankful you at least go to a church that teaches that women are supposed to obey their husbands, because 99% of churches don't even teach that anymore; they've completely caved-in on that, and they teach the world's feminist junk. So look, most of society's against you. The secular world's against you. School's against you. The entertainment industry's again you. The movies and the TV—they're all painting a wrong picture of what marriage should look like—what relationships should look like. But you know what, 'Be of good cheer because Christ has overcome the world!'” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Be Not Bitter Against Them

“We don't want to have that root of bitterness. Because what is a root? A root is something that grows into something much larger. You know, if you're pulling weeds, you can remove the entire weed, but if you don't remove the root, that thing's gonna come back and it's gonna come back with a vengeance; it's gonna be stronger and more robust than ever, because all it needs is a root, and it can go and create a new plant. And so, we don't want that root deep inside of us of bitterness toward our wife. We need to forgive her. Let things go. She's not perfect; we're not perfect. Love your wife. Don't be bitter against her. Don't have this hateful, or wrathful, or angry, or vengeful or malicious emotion toward your wife. Alright, that's the opposite of loving your wife; being bitter and unforgiving.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Be Not Bitter Against Them

“The Church ought to be a trend setter; not a trend follower.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Exodus 33

“Faith, hope and charity will make a marriage work.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Be Not Bitter Against Them

“As soon as you stop putting forth effort, you will slide backwards. I wish I could tell you that we were on a level horse; that the Christian life will run on a flat horse, but unfortunately the Christian life is pretty much uphill both ways, unfortunately.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Hosea 4 - God's Warning To A Sinful Nation” (here is the MP3 excerpt from October 8, 2025)

And you know, obviously yeah, I've been blessed in a lot of ways, but I've also gone through some really hard things that you might not want to go through. So we all have pros and cons to our life. If all our troubles were hung on a line, you'd take yours and I'd take mine, because we're all going through different stuff.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Rich Men In James” (March 22, 2026)

“And for the record, you know, I love it when people at our church listen to other preachers. I love it when you guys listen to extra curricular preaching throughout the week, and you show up here and listen to me on Sunday morning.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Rich Men In James” (March 22, 2026)

“Preaching is art. Prayer is art. Soulwinning is art. Singing praises to God, playing the piano, playing guitar is art; and here's the thing, we should use our talents and abilities to praise God with our creativity. Be creative! You know, that's something that God can use.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Psalm 98” (March 18, 2026)

“You know, God loves us! And God looks down at our creativity and He loves to see what we come up with—the sermons that we'll come up with, the songs that we'll come up with, right—the conversations that we'll come up with about Bible, as we study the Bible and talk, and the encouraging things and edifying things that we can think of to say to someone else. You know, God apparently values creativity, and I think that God loves when we glorify Him with our talents and abilities, whatever they are.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Psalm 98” (March 18, 2026)

“And you know what, quit talking this crap about: 'The Devil's shaking in his boots!' Don't ever talk that way. Do not ever talk crap about the Devil, because let me tell you something—the Devil is way more more powerful than anybody in this room. The Devil is way smarter than anybody in this room. And you know what, I'm not interested in getting in a fight with the Devil.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Why Verity Is Cursed” (March 15, 2026)

“Everybody that I have ever known has had marriage problems. I've had marriage problems. You've had marriage problems. It's just life. That's just life. It's just part of being married. If staying married were easy everybody'd be doing it! Where do you think all this divorce is coming from? Is it coming because marriage is always easy? No, it's because there are gonna be those low points. There are gonna be those trials and tribulations. And there are gonna be those times where your tempted to just quit, and just say: 'That's it, I'm leaving!' and 'She can leave!' and 'I'm out!' and 'She's out!' and 'He can leave!' and all this garbage. Hey, look my friend, it's 'til death do us part.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Enlargement And Deliverance” (March 15, 2026)

“Now you say, well, my marriage has been bad for years and it's just still bad, and it's been bad for 10 years, 15 years. Okay, well here's the thing, I understand. I'm not going to give you a pie in the sky that your marriage is always going to be fixed, because you know what, sadly, that's a reality. Sometimes you are married for 10, 15, 20 years, and it's just bad, and then it's more bad, and more, and you try to do the right things, and it's just bad because it's the other person's fault. That's out there! So, I'm not always gonna say that it's your fault. You can do all the right things and the other person is just not wanting to play ball, and they just never get onboard, and they're just never going to be right with God. You know, a husband that's just never going to love you as Christ loved the Church; a wife that's just never going to submit unto you and obey you and honor you and respect you. Hey, I get it that that exists. But do you know what what I would say? I would say, continue to be faithful to your spouse. Continue to love your wife that doesn't respect you. Continue to submit to your husband that doesn't love you. Continue to do what God has told you to do, and even if He never fixes your marriage, He will enlarge you in other ways.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Enlargement And Deliverance” (March 15, 2026)

“Hard preaching is specific preaching.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Ye Have Not So learned Christ” (March 8, 2026)

“We're getting to the point where if your just a Bible-believing preacher, you're just ostracized of this world now.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Don't Be Afraid

“If you don't think homosexuality is gross, you are totally brainwashed.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “AIDS: The Judgment Of God

“But what it is, is that you live long enough and you get burned again and again and again, and then again—and especially if you are serving God, if you're doing great works for God. You're going to constantly be getting persecuted, stabbed in the back, burned. And it can get frustrating. You know, everybody has their limits and so it can wear on you. And you can just kinda of get to a point where you just think, 'Man, what is wrong with me or what's going on?' But that's why the book of Psalms exists. And you know what, the most comforting thing about the book of Psalms is it it just makes me feel like, 'Wow, somebody understands what I'm thinking and what I'm feeling.' Because when I read the book of Psalms I feel like I'm looking in the mirror sometimes. And it's just, I'm reading the book of Psalms—it's just so relevant.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Psalms 91

“I'd would rather that my life be just the worst train wreck of life, and get hundreds of thousands of people saved through my ministry; and my life is just an absolute dung show, an absolute disaster, and I got 300,000 people out of Hell or something.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Why Do They Hate You?” (October 5, 2025)

“A person who doesn't believe what the Bible says is not asking in faith.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Life Is A Test

“You can sit there and say, 'Oh, well, you just took it too far. You just took King James onlyism too far!' Well, you know what brother, you can't take it far enough, when they're pushing all these false versions, and all the bookstores, and the Christian bookstores, and all of your big name preachers are all preaching false versions! You know, we need to stand our ground on this issue!!!” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “Saved By The Word”

“The TRUTH is a thousand times more powerful than what these liberal churches are selling. The truth is so concentrated that just one drop of the real unadulterated truth of THE GOSPEL—hard preaching—one clear 10-minute presentation of the Gospel, is more powerful than one hundred hours of NOTHINGNESS in their 'BLAH!' church or school!” —Pastor Steven L. Anderson, “The Dechristianization Of Our Nation

“I believe that the reason why I'm being banned and censored is that the truth is powerful. And wicked people are afraid of the truth, because it just takes one beam of light to cut through the darkness that's been created in these areas. The truth is so powerful, it can in just one fell swoop overturn decades of brainwashing. ...if the truth is heard, it will bear fruit. God's Word is not going to return void.” —Pastor Steven L. Anderson

“People have it so backwards, where they think: 'Hey, let's go soulwinning to build the church!' You know how I look at it: 'Let's build a big church so we can do more soulwinning!' Soulwinning is not the means to the end, soulwinning is the goal, soulwinning is the end! Look, why even have a big church? So that we knock on every door in Phoenix with the Gospel, five times! That's why!” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “COMPASSION FOR THE UNSAVED”

“Faith without works is DEAD FAITH; and works without faith is DEAD WORKS.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, "Repentance And Salvation"

“200 of us can shake this city spiritually; 200 of us at their ballot box in their rigged game, is a joke, it's meaningless. So I'm not going to spend my time playing some game, back n' forth between the Republocrats and the Demicans. Ya know, trying to get this guy in office, and he's going to solve our problems. Folks let me tell you something—we are doing something that other people can't do! Can an unsaved person go campaign for so-and-so as a candidate? Sure! Can an unsaved person donate money to that, and do that political campaigning? Yeah, but can an unsaved person go out soulwinning? Ya know, we're basically like elite troops in the LORD's army!” —Pastor Steven L. Anderson, “The Dechristianization Of Our Nation

“Anybody with a brain in their head, knows that Democrats are demonic, and evil baby-murdering, homosexual-promoting freaks. Everybody knows how degenerate and morally bankrupt the Democrat party is, otherwise why are you even in a Baptist church? Do you really need me to tell you that these people are just of Satan? I'm here to tell you though, that the Republicans and Fox News and the right-wing agenda is another wicked agenda. Is just two wings on the same bird friend! It's a false left-right paradigm. And you know what, this pro war, kill 'em all and let God sort 'em out, right wing, Republican, Fox News agenda, is wicked as Hell! And you know, yea, the Democrats are murdering babies in their mother's womb. And the Republicans wanna murder people on the battlefield. They wanna kill man, woman, boy, girl, civilians. The twentieth century was the century of total warfare! Where we literally nuked man, woman, boy and girl. Where we literally killed civilians. That is wicked and ungodly! You'll never convince me that that's a Christian thing to do. 'Well we had to.' SHUT UP, we didn't have to do anything! You know what, we're over there fighting for somebody's agenda to make them money.” —Pastor Steven Anderson, “War Is A Racket”
