My thoughts exactly. Lately I've been using this resource and one or two others as often as I am actually in the word. Maybe I need to re-evaluate that haha.

Great content - you guys look like you'll be the next BibleProject

[@mustaffa1611]

hopefully they don't deny the coming mark of the beast and mock those who do talk about it like the BibleProject does.

[@Jerry-gi5nr]

love it

[@TheBibleEffect]

Thank you Jeremiah!

[@MFLimited]

I think it’s a common mistake to think that pride is defined by good personal hygiene and The enjoyment of dressing in a way you like. That’s not it. Pride is looking down on others who do not. Or believing that your appearance defines you as a better person.

[@TheBibleEffect]

Thanks for your comment Mark. Blessings!

[@ModernMozart1104]

@The Bible Effect - Thank you for this video! Per usual it was really great. Can you recommend any books that helped you (you guys) learn more about the context of the Bible?

[@TheBibleEffect]

Thank you for your encouraging words. For our videos, we source the information from many different commentaries and scholarly works. But when it comes to shedding light on the historical background, I can highly recommend the IVP Bible Background Commentary, and the Zondervan Illustrated Bible Backgrounds Commentary. The scholars who have put them together are top notch, and they give a great balance of good insight, without getting bogged down in details of little significance. Blessings in your study!!

[@williamsimmons4873]

Thanks for this scripture site and these informative and useful videos ! I always pray for spiritual wisdom and try to hunger and thurst for righteousness !!! Then GOD leads me to wonderful videos to understand his powerful and living word 😊. Humbly thankful for this 👍 , William ☀️

[@TheBibleEffect]

That is wonderful and encouraging to hear. We are so blessed that God directed you to our videos, and we pray that you continually go deeper into His Word. Blessings William!

“As long as you are proud you cannot know God. A proud man is always looking down on thing and people: and, of course, as long as you are looking down you cannot see something that is above you.” ― *C.S. Lewis*, Mere Christianity

[@TheBibleEffect]

What a great quote! Thanks for watching! God bless you!

[@miscellaneoussarnian5282]

Land of the morning, Child of the sun returning, With fervor burning Thee do our souls adore. Land dear and holy, Cradle of noble heroes, Ne'er shall invaders Trample thy sacred shores. Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds, And o'er thy hills and seas, Do we behold the radiance, feel the throb Of glorious liberty. Thy banner dear to all our hearts, Its sun and stars alight, Oh, never shall its shining fields Be dimmed by tyrant's might! Beautiful land of love, o land of light, In thine embrace 'tis rapture to lie, But it is glory ever, when thou art wronged, For us, thy sons to suffer and die.

[@TheBibleEffect]

God bless the Philippines! 🇵🇭

[@barbaraknight4203]

That doesn't look like Paul. Paul was dark, but a good story 😊

[@rosehammer9482]

I recommend people read the book Humility by Andrew Murray. He also wrote several books on the spiritual life and prayer

[@TheBibleEffect]

That looks like a great book. Thank you for the book recommendation, Rose!
