Thank you, I've been watching your preaching for a few months now. I go to Sunday service, Wednesday night and watch your channel every week. I was a Luke warm Christian for many years and early last year around January I felt the holy spirit to read and know the Bible like it was really important. This was when I was working construction in klamath falls oregon away from my wife and kids. Every day I would listen to the Bible being read on spotify on the way to work, on my way home and the evening before bed. I've felt a connection and dedication I've never experienced and I'm so grateful for it. Thank you for also being a dedicated spiritual leader.

Thank God for the internet is this way! Pastor Mark is unashamedly a man of God. Good mentor to have. I would also encourage you to plug into a men's ministry at a local church. I pray for your understanding of our Father in Heavan. As a person sexually abused by my own father, I had a skewed view of our Father God. A book that I highly recommend is "Imagine the God of Heaven" by John Burke. Sorry, I am sounding bossy. I just hope that you understand I feel for you because no child should be raised without a father.

Excellent question and great answer to it and sermon Pastor Mark! Sharing it as well! My wife said she has spent over 34 years as a born-again Christian living life on that 'high wire' as you put it, and felt like God was anxiously standing next to it ready to poke her off of it, because of all the preaching she's been receiving over the years. That's how she perceived God and I didn't even realize that. Because of your sermons and teaching like this, she truly loves knowing now how loving for us, our Father is. She's able to truly praise him for His everlasting love for us. Thank you for your anointed preaching and teaching Pastor Mark. God bless you! Praise Jesus!

I almost never comment on things but just want to say thanks if you happen to see it. My wife and I are in the midst of quitting my job and moving across the country. We have three kids 3 years old, 2 years old, and 3 months old. There is almost no one alive left in our families who believes in God truly while my great grandfather and wife's grandfather were both preachers. This departure is apparent and we are creating distance for the sake of our marriage, our children, and our legacy. From generational curses to finding God's will we have gone from living and sleeping together unmarried to teaching our children to pray every night thanks to you and pastor's like you who tell the truth.

I’ve been listening to this sermon this morning. I am a nite taker. When I came across the verse when you say “a man who has many friends comes to ruins”, I looked it up. I read the KJV or the NKJV. And neither version quotes that having many friends is a bad or w wrong thing or that we will come to ruins. They both do say that if we are to have friends, that we ourselves are to be friendly. It says nothing about having ‘many’ friends. I have many friends. They are my godly Christian friends. I also a few who don’t choose or have a hard time understanding Gods laws and the word he has for us. I’ve met many many people in this world. And I am friendly to those who treat me well. Those who don’t, I stay away from. I can’t say I am going to end up in ruins for the many friends I have. I do believe the good old KJV is telling the truth. I

Everything you're saying here, is what I know. This is what I've been taught since childhood. I am nearly fifty now, and I often have not done even a fair job of following, what I know. I found my way to this video by what some what call accident, happenstance, coincidence. But what you point out in this sermon, perhaps providence. It certainly feels that way to me right now. Everything you've said here, is what I know. And I have no doubt, that I needed to hear this, this morning. God had a purpose for one KZbin vide, leading me to another, and to another. I clicked on and chose at least six different videos, from a music video reaction video, to political commentary, to another, and then to a music video, and then the same artist discussing his future plans following his recent success. And while having stepped away, not paying attention much as this fellow got to the end of his video, I was in the next room. And I hear you begin to speak. I didn't plan to listen to this. I didn't click this video to see what someone I did not know had to say about how I should know God's will for my life. Had I seen the title I might have clicked it to listen, but I know me and I just as likely would have shrugged and moved past to do something else. But, I was away from the keyboard as the previous video finished and autoplay took me to this next. Again I feel the need to say, I have no doubt God wanted me to hear this right now, today. This was posted 7 months ago. But it was a timely thing for me to hear at this moment, right now. Having listened to you for this past hour, I am sure that you hear thanks and at times effusive thanks for your sermons and for how obviously open you are to the Lord's guidance. Still, thank you.

God is not silent- His answers are clear- the hardest part for all of us ...is that God's will for the solution is not what we want to hear. You will hear God more and more clearly as you let go of the things in this world that will not matter much later on. First, look at what it means to let go of yourself- it is hard, but never impossible. Then, as you go through your day, the thoughts are all about how you can show God to others by the way you treat, care for, serve, and love all others. Humans just want, want & want things- they think that they will be happy - but being happy is not why we were created- this earth is a place we practice unconditional love- we also practice our desire to be thankful and grateful- not angry or destroyed whether things are going well or things seem hopeless- we will be living out our purpose when we can love God and others no matter what!! It requires faith & trust & hope- then there comes a peace beyond all understanding.

Yup, because the ultimate form of love is giving a choice. I was telling an ex-girlfriend this recently because I wouldn’t fight for her when she didn’t think she wanted to be with me anymore. She knew how much she meant to me even though she claimed that she didn’t. I’ve bent over backwards and showed her I loved her, but I explained to her that real biblical love is giving her a choice. I wanted her happy whether I am in her future or not. Christ like love is giving a choice and suffering with them.

@@GWOTUSMC0311 I've heard that line before: "Vengeance is mine. I will repay." It's bad enough that we are wronged and hurt. It's even worse when the people that hurt us get away with it and suffer no consequences in life. How does God punishing them after we die help us in life? Our lifves are destroyed and can never get it back. Job only suffered for one day and then God gave him back everything he had lost plus even more on top of that. And that happened while he was still alive. It doesn't say that the people who hurt him (whoever the devil used to kill his family and livestock) were punished in life. However, the fact that God gave Job more than he had lost easily makes those people inconsequential - as long as they never harm him again. Why doesn't God give us more than we have lost in our life times when rotten people harm us and steal from us and destroy our lives and reputations?

I used to feel that way too brother. For almost 40 years I watched people "get away" with evil demonic things directly in my life and in the lives of those that I love. From r*pe and m*lestation to severe mental and emotional ab*se. It took time to find out the truth. But God's word says He pays back perfectly what is owed for our sin. I do believe sometimes it's only paid back in hell (for eternity) but I've also come to find its sometimes paid here on earth too. From grandfather's who were praised as perfect men. To later finding out they may have raped their own daughter and finding out 30 yrs or so after their death that they died writhing and screaming in pain from the cancer that consumed them. Or the uncle who raped his own sister and then tried to rape his niece. He mentally and physically abused people his whole life. It seemed as if he'd gotten away with it, until he was in his 60's and while on another drunken bender was run over by not one, but two cars. He suffered severe brain injuries that resulted in trauma based alzheimers. He died within 10 years with severe PTSD from war that caused him to panic and scream. He forgot he could walk even though the Drs said he was fine physically. So the attendants in the nursing home would find him crawling on his belly dragging himself across the floor trying to escape whatever it was he thought was happening in his mind. Or the mother who was so mentally abusive (physically too) seeming as if she's fine at 65, but only 2 or 3 people in her life knowing she is severely depressed. Constantly anxious. Unable to sleep. Miserable from the moment she wakes until the anxiety hits at night and she has chest pains and dizzy spells and suffers for hours until she can finally pass out. I promise you that these evil, broken, and demonic filled/oppressed people are not happy and absolutely will not get away with it. They are truly miserable even if no one else can see it at the moment. People like them don't prosper. There is no life in them only death. And their evil deeds are nothing more than claw marks they try to leave behind to prove they were ever here. Because this speck of life on earth is all they'll ever get. And that's why I can forgive all. And if I can be completely honest feel sorry them and dont celebrate their demise. My God is a just God. And a true promise keeper. I'd be terrified to think what else is coming for them if they never repent and come to Christ. So keep your eyes on Him brother. And repent for ever questioning who He is. He loves you and they will pay for what they've done even if you never get to know about it.

@@Trucker1487 I certainly hope so. For a while I had thought that I would like to see them be judged and be handed really harsh punishments for the wrongs they've done. Now, I'm thinking maybe don't even want to be bothered with them. I'd probably be happier never having to interact with such rotten people ever again. Maybe, I'll change my mind and at least want to know if they actualy get punished. At the moment I am most concerned about the harm done in this life and the last repercusions. The wrongs in life need to be remedied. If the wrongs in life are not corrected then it looks like God is letting rotten people get away with it. That just isn't right!
