[@klacklery]

God speaks through amazing people, even those with knit hats in Arizona!

[@garbageman51]

So powerful! brought me to tears David. You keep bringing men and women all to the Lord, our God. No matter what religion they chose, may they know the spirit of the Lord. God knew it would take men like you to show people the way of the light. Not necessarily the religion, but God's spirit is what will save a man. You are special! keep pushing my man!

[@Adrieland]

Every time i see this, i get goose flesh! God really is using you sir, and because of it blessing SO many! They showed this at my school, and who knows who needed to hear it. I know i did!

[@childishfaith22]

This is beautiful. This is what the church needs to hear.

[@getmerked3340]

Amen! Praise the Lord!

[@jadegarden7]

there is POWER in the Blood of Christ, Amen!! thank you sir, for being a man of God and encourage us to do His will.

[@rebeccamorey5641]

This is Lent season for us Lutherans and Catholics. We tend to do things or change our lives for a short while to come closer to God. I give up things for life. Anyways in search of Christian videos I came across this man and been listening to what he says and I think Lord is speaking through him, I think David here has a point in his Poetry. I want to own his series. May Lord bless this man continually

[@TiaBeattie89]

Hell is the absence of God. He created all of us and gave us free will. We fell (the devil fell too, he was angel once). He created us knowing we would fall and the rest of the Bible is His persistence to bring us back to Him. Delivering us again and again and then finally standing in our place and taking our punishment, yet still giving us free choice. I will pray for you, friend!

[@TheBritts5]

David Bowden is suck a good speaker! So much energy and power in his worshipful words!

[@gusgus433]

I am inspired!!

[@mfonimaukpong8379]

I still love it

[@chewa11]

I should have been more clear. Shakespear wrote "All the world's a stage & all the men and women merely players." David spoke about doing good for Christ because in the Christian worldview, we are all part of God's story. Our actions, for better or for worse, have a bigger significance than just a single interaction with someone. So this poem was a call to Christians to look up off ourselves (& our excuses) and to God. If we saw everyone as God does, imagine how much more love there would be.

[@miamrpm1383]

powerful

[@christiandanser]

Wow. Just... Wow. :)

Glory to God!!!!

[@imsillyareyou]

thank you

[@kaisimple7045]

Awesome

[@chewa11]

No doubt, your life can be a life used for good with or without you acknowledging God. But like they say, all the world's a stage. Whatever your role may be, and regardless of whether you give him props, there is still a director.

[@flippinantonio]

David I would love to meet you.

[@rhiannonarispe8692]

Anyone know what is the instrumental song playing in the background.?

[@philthomas4187]

he over annunciates sometimes, but in this he sounds really good!

[@mauricio890]

well its not a creation. its the absence of him... hence he has no hand in it. its not like he's saving you from it or banishing you to it. its Him accepting your choice to be completely absent of Him. look man, im not trying to convince you of anything, but if you read everyone's response to you, they seem to respect your choice. so who's the closed minded one here? you can only account for yourself right? so let us worry about our fate, and we appreciate your concern.i assure you we all love u

[@littlelamb1021]

inspired by David

[@mdhaef01]

If you liked this you should check out the book "Radical" by David Platt. It will blow your mind!

[@drewpooonyou]

@TheDJPace same

[@antimoonspy]

@MyFaceBurns It's called free verse poems. It's like free style rap. Not all rhyme. And don't troll here. I mean, you even admit it that He has a point, but what if someone who is searching for God and sees you go negative, they might see that and say "oh, is that what really Christianity is?" or like "I thought it was true, but apparently not..." , you are responsible in front of the All Mighty God for anything you do, especially for putting up a foot for someone to trip, fall and not get saved

[@killacorey5]

this is so powerful....if anyone can spare a minute go look up odd thomas the reality of resurrection..it will change yo life..and god bless everyone

[@Mahoody]

"They" definitely don't all say there is a director. Germany, France, Sweden, Czech Republic, and many other countries have over 25% that are atheists, a widely growing percentage as people are more versed in the world and educated. Just throwing that out there. Anyways, I don't want to sidetrack a debate of religion, his talent should be the center of discussion.

[@cwinget2580]

1:35...oh the irony. "You know Jesus didn't look like all them paintings right?"-Jason Petty

[@ItsallfortheMoment]

WOW! :O

[@fatsani27]

He is trying to say that we are overly consumed with world particularly those that practise Chrisitanity, that we focus so much on the routine that we miss the point. That so much was given on the cross from a man who is now our Saviour, Jesus Christ that we have got to be more aggressive in how we live a life that appreciates the sacrifice that was made on the cross. We have no excuse because we know the gospel, we know the price paid and we have got to hold our Christian selves accountable

[@blakeparnell7276]

It means use your resourcesXD

[@LivinforChrist700]

Dang... Give it up to God haha... Give everything...

[@Love848Bug]

That isn't the point. Its the words that are important.

[@Mahoody]

Great words of wisdom, spoken with amazing soul and heart. If he could leave out the excuse of doing good for christ and god, I'd like it, but I can do amazing things without indoctrination or a cause to put me in a better place when my life ends. I'm comfortable on doing good for the simple fact of treating others how I'd like to be treated. I'm sure I'll get fried by every superficial Christian, burn me at the stake, no worries.

[@Nopenopenope113]

Love the comment but he’s saying we don’t have any excuses not for the sake “ treating people better “ we have no excuse to not tell people about Jesus ❤️! We gotta get out there

[@azaleyakovalsky1527]

does anyone know the song used?

[@mauricio890]

@olegkikin yes, because it wasnt created. and i do love you, but i dont have 1000 dollars. but i would gladly help you raise it if thats what you truly need. look man, i dont want to convince you of anything, all im saying is, arguing is the wrong way to go about it. and if you really do want to, well then make it more a discussion than a passion to likewise oppress those who found peace in their life and want to share it with the world. and sure we all do it wrong sometimes, but were learning

[@Indyrockfan]

@olegkikin I will believe in your theory on life, when you can prove that nothingness can produce life

[@soURfunnyYOUthink]

Matthew 24 is speaking

[@fatsani27]

why do people who dont believe in God sound angry, bitter, or cynical. None of ya'll ever sound happy. Maybe if you sounded more happy with yourselves we would take your rational left brain seriously. God loves you all, just receive why do you fight soooo hard and soooo much.

[@ShelbySays111]

I want to be a holy nuisance.

[@Yankees4Lyf3331]

B a holy nuisance today

[@wedding_photography]

@xFeloxX I just wanted to tell you that your argument has no substance at all. It's not even an argument, just an opinion.

[@wedding_photography]

@mauricio890 He has no hand in what, creating hell? If you love me, donate $1000 to Doctors Without Borders right now and send me a screenshot. I need proof of your love. I'm sure you will not do that. It's all just words for you.

[@phil1v21]

Just Christ.
