“You’re not being asked to be a hero, you’re being asked to be happy in God as your supreme and exceeding joy and treasure. This is no big work we are called to do, this is wonderful.” This really convicted me and made me break down in tears. It made me realize how I am just going through the motions and not truly loving God as I should and not finding joy in Him. Lord please help us all to love you and find joy and happiness getting to know You and walking with You, in Jesus’ name Amen.

I had the exact problem, because I thought Jesus is here to fix my life. But now I understand that he can fix my life but that is not why He want a relationship with me, He wants a relationship with me because he want me to love him.

christians love the truth. john 10: 3-4 3 To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. 4 And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice.

This message is so deep in its magnitude. It’s truth and I’m guilty of creating this little “checklist” that I try to check off on a daily basis. This isn’t treasuring Christ. It’s just going through motions. Forgive me LORD! I want to learn Christian Hedonism like my brother John!!!🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

@Carlie Trogicj , 🤔. Do you understand the term "LIFE-SAVING"? Its the theme that Jesus preached throughout the new testatament. By Faith. Not trying to knock your understanding of the bible, Carlie.

I don't see how I could deny the divine Providence of His light. John looks older in this video. I am beginning to understand what he means by "christian hedonism" I just have to suffer this world and find the beauty of His work which is my work as well for Him in His ways with His objective good at work with me and through Christ.

I have a question for Christians or anyone who believes in god. I’m a bad person? I would never hurt anyone, I believe that everyone deserves a second chance, I always treat everyone how I would want to be treated, and I think that everyone deserves never ending love and care. But, I don’t believe in god. In fact I don’t believe in anything. I’m not a hardcore atheist. In fact I don’t care what you believe in unless you don’t hurt anyone. But I don’t believe in god. Am I a bad person?? ( Im sorry if I sounded rude at all, I really truly don’t mean too, I’m just curious )

You are not a bad person. But belief in God goes beyond being a good person or being a bad person, of course someone who follows the christian doctrine will most likely be a "good person" but that is not the point. Its about something greater. Of course we can say, I would never hurt anyone, I'm kind, I always give second chances; but we as humans sooner or later tend to be selfish creatures, at least in some level, and we end up hurting people even in small ways; but most of all we end up hurting our own spirits. You can do all of the things you say you do, and still live in a way that hurts mostly yourself. Looking only for plesure, having food, sexual or any kind of addictions, envy, anger problems, lazyness, and a ton of other things, I mean sure, we can say "I don't hurt anyone", but these problems would still be there. Even if we could say, "no, I'm actually almost perfect and don't have any problem with the way I'm living", even then, theres no denying that the world we live in, is an unfair world, where there is definitely people who hurt others. In all of that is where faith in God shows is importance. Because he gives you strenght to keep being good even when you can no longer mantain your spirit. Because in a lost world He represents a light at the end of the tunnel and gives hope every morning when you open your eyes. The kind of hope that doesn't come within you but from outside, from God. Because He is there for us ready to save us from our self destructing habits and addictions. And He Will save us, beacause He actually already did it, and because He loves us. That's what we believe. Not only in God and his rules, but in God and his love. And of course, Christians also believe in an everlasting life, but not only that; an everlasting life With God. The same God who we've come to know in this life in earth. The same who's been with us in our darkest moments, we will get to be in his presence and be whole again You're and not a bad person. But you could be living a greater experience in life just by shifting your views in a way which wouldn't really hurt you and that promises something even beyond that. I don't judge you either but I'm explaining the point of view that best answers your question I hope you read this, have a good life!

The Bible talks about “clouds” going up and down with people going in and out. Clouds do not make those movements described in the Bible but spaceships do. Jesus ascended in a “cloud” (Acts 1:9). God rides in a “cloud” (Isaiah 19:1, Psalm 104:3). Jesus will come back “with” the “clouds” (Mat 26:64, Rev 1:7). Jesus will come back commanding a fleet of starships. The church will be raptured “in” the “clouds” (I Thess. 4:17). Spaceships will be used to rapture the church. The ancient did not have vocabulary or knowledge to understand what they saw so they called the flying objects “clouds”, “chariots”, and “pillars”, because was the words they had to describe something flying in the sky. The Bible even tells in Psalm 68:17 how many spaceships are in the fleet “The chariots of God are tens of thousands and thousands of thousands” (about 20,000). There is a good research done by Patrick Cooke called “The Great Deception - The Bible UFO Connection” which has the original words describing spaceships. It is all over the Bible. Jesus is real. He is the savior of the world but He is not seating in a puffy cloud. He is commanding a powerful army, which will take control of our planet. To understand the Bible you need to understand that the ancient described something but named with words they knew at the time. The star of Belem was a starship not a star, Jonah's whale was a starship with underwater capability. Think the Bible with the knowledge we have today and not a fictitious book. Do a search on the paint " The Baptism of Christ " by Aert de Gelder. He had access to secret achieves at the Vatican in 1710. The painted what he saw on the achieves.
