I’ve been exposed to various protestant churches over the years, and I keep coming back to good old Calvary Chapel. After 24 years, walking with the Lord, I’ve really learned to appreciate, solid Bible, teaching from Calvary chapel pastors. Moreover, their doctoral positions appear solid and grounded. Pastor Guzik teaches clearly and effectively. I really hope that you do these type of videos for the entire Bible. God bless you and your family as well as the ministry that God has given to you.

Such an encouraging testimony and message to hear - thank you for sharing this and for your kind words and support. May God bless you and keep you and cause His face to shine upon you.

Our City Council had a number of crosswalks & public washrooms painted in 'rainbow colours' to demonstrate openly the acceptance of homosexual lifestyles. The rainbow flag is displayed in business ads & in various places. Schools are teaching & promoting the LGBTQ + lifestyles saying people need to be 'inclusive & diverse'. It feels like we are living again in the days of Sodom & Gomorrah. It saddens my heart deeply. People seem to be going along aimlessly. Thank you so much for speaking on such a sensitive subject. As listeners to your sermons and followers of Christ, I pray that each of us will forward this timely & compassionate message on as God leads. "For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." John 3:17 (I apologize for the length of my comment.) 🙏 📖 🕊

[@DavidGuzikEnduringWord]

You expressed it all so eloquently and beautifully - the aimlessness, the sensitivity, and above all the compassionate message of Christ Jesus. Thank you for this powerfully succinct comment and assessment of our world and mission as Christians. God bless.

Good day, David. I am a Sunday school teacher. Sometime, in 2021, While making research on a topic I was preparing to teach; I came across Enduring word for the first time (I quickly fell in love with the site). That is what I use for ALL my Bible research/study till today. Thank you for making yourself available for God's assignment.

[@DavidGuzikEnduringWord]

Wonderful, thank you for sharing this! Stay blessed and draw ever nearer to the Lord!

[@waverlynichols4868]

Yay!! I get so excited when a new chapter is posted, like some people might over a new episode of a favorite TV show 😊 Thank you so much Pastor Guzik! You truly bring the words of the Bible to life for me! I love your inspired teachings! I pray God continues to bless your wonderful ministry! 🙏

I asked the Lord for daily bread and prayer and he told me Genesis 19 which I was driving so I couldn't look it up so I went on KZbin to listen to it and I got sent here thank you for your video it was wonderful

[@melissabrammer8390]

The Lord’s anointing is heavy on you and causes your preaching/teaching to bring such clarity and insight to His Word! I look forward to each new message I have opportunity to hear, including. the five-minute daily video devotionals. I use your commentary every day. May the Lord continue to bless you and protect you. Thank you.

Thank you David many preaches would swerve these verses . These verses point to the rapture for me also , I just can’t unsee it . Thank God for giving you the wisdom and words for this message

[@taba1208]

In May, I decided I wanted to truly understand the bible- start from the top, and learn. I want to know it as an unfolding story. I've searched for books that might help.. but couldn't find anything to truly explain to a 100% newbie. And then... I stumbled upon Mr. Guzik's Study of Genesis. Ive watched a video each day in my study and am learning SO much! I knew this day would come.. where I'm now caught up and eagerly awaiting the next chapter. how does the story unfold... how does the book end?!?! Waiting patiently for David to finish the story! it reminds of be being a kid again, asking my dad for "one more book, one more chapter." Waiting patiently, Mr. Guzik!

[@rapturebound197]

I was delighted to read your comment. I hope your study in the word has continued to be exciting and insightful. We're living in what many christians consider to be the last days. See you in glory but until then may our Lord bless your efforts to know Him better and reach your unsaved friends, neighbors and family unto salvation. To God be the Glory! Amen ✡️✝️ .

This is my first time that I came across your program and watched it right through and I have to say this ; you have explained Genius 19 in a clear way that I understood far better than anyone else before you . Therefore, I am so grateful that i found you here because you explain Genius 19 better than anyone else and I can't thank you enough for putting the word out for God so that anyone can understand it . Again thank you so much and God bless you and your family, and I know that God is pleased in what you are doing with spearing His word out there especially in a way that we can all understand, for I know that if I can understand what you are sharing here then everyone that is watching and listening to your program can understand all that you are sharing here. Now , I'm going to definitely continue to watch and listen to your programs from here on and learn from you so much more. You are a blessing in the way you teach the word of God and I hope that you will continue to teach here so that people like me can follow you with God's word until you are Raptured up with Jesus Christ, because you are definitely going to be Raptured when Jesus Christ returns for His people who are In His Book Of Lives and I can feel and know that Jesus Christ is so pleased with the work you are doing with sharing His word with as many people that are and will listen to the truth of the Bible . Furthermore, I do believe that we are definitely in the End Days and we are closer to the Rapture then we have ever been before now and the signs of the end are all around us today . To conclude, I never looked forward to being Rapture as much as I do at this very moment and I can only pray that I am worthy enough to go and spend internity with Jesus Christ in Paradise where there are no more sins and no more tears , an endless life with Jesus to be able to love and love in a way that no words alone could ever explain for I know that it's a love that goes beyond and can only be felt because there are no words that could ever express the love that Jesus has for His children. And to know that at any given time the Rapture could take place I've never been so happy just knowing this. To think about it we are not only in the Last Days I strongly believe that we are now in the Last Hours the Last Moments here on earth before the Rapture. And thank you once again for just being there sharing God's/Jesus word with us all that are watching and listening to you , for you are a blessing and that comes right from my heart to yours .

[@FeibeSianturiswifty14]

Sir, I'm from Indonesia and so happy to be able to listen to your blessing channel and explanation on Genesis. What I want to ask is, do you also include Luther's Work on Genesis in your reading while commentaring it? I know you include Dr. Charles Spurgeon's comment and I've known him since my childhood from his writing that my dad always read before preaching for a week and months. I have a program Bible for 1 year and start 2024 with reading Genesis 4 chapters each day. Now, while reading them, of course questions pop up in the people's mind and that's why I'm so happy to share this to answer their curiosity. God bless you Sir and your family. I really like the lgbt topic and am thankful that Indonesian government does not allow that conduct. I hope US can be brave in spiritual and return to God.

Thank you for sharing this teaching. I have been thinking about this topic this week, after what I saw last week during the Cologne Pride festival here in Germany. It was my first time to see the pride march since I moved to Europe during COVID. My heart was weeping to see the hige investments by individuals, corporates and worse, by Churches to celebrate homosexuality. Why do we celebrate sin?? Should we not be ashamed when we sin?

I want to ask a question: I saw this line of quote while studying about Peter's ministry to the Gentile. And I want to verify the source before I use it. This is the quote: A ministry can’t turn people to the Lord unless the hand of the Lord is with them. · You can turn people to a personality without the hand of the Lord. · You can turn people to a social club without the hand of the Lord. · You can turn people to a church or an institution without the hand of the Lord. · But you can’t turn people to the Lord without the hand of the Lord

Could it be that Lot was referencing different daughters that were married apart from the two virgin daughters? @David Guzik

[@DavidGuzikEnduringWord]

Interesting! Could be. Perhaps there is Talmudic or Rabbinic commentary that posits such a solution. Thanks for watching!

"Asa did that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, as did David his father. And he took away the sodomites out of the land & removed all the idols that his fathers had made." (-1Kings15: 11-12)

[@deannaryle2104]

Always thought Lot and his family was saved because, of Abraham.

[@jessyjonas4988]

“Then Haman said to King Xerxes, “There is a certain people dispersed among the peoples in all the provinces of your kingdom who keep themselves separate. Their customs are different from those of all other people, and they do not obey the king’s laws; it is not in the king’s best interest to tolerate them. 9 If it pleases the king, let a decree be issued to destroy them, and I will give ten thousand talents[a] of silver to the king’s administrators for the royal treasury.” 10 So the king took his signet ring from his finger and gave it to Haman son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of the Jews. 11 “Keep the money,” the king said to Haman, “and do with the people as you please.” Esther 3:8-11 THE PERSECUTION IS ON THE HORIZON

[@heinmolenaar6750]

Why were all the innocent children of sodom and gommorah also murdered by god?

[@fernandomarquez3131]

The debate is at where do we stand regarding the change in laws regarding same sex standing by the GOVERNMENT., how are the children going to assimilate these actions and manifestation across many countries, .

[@rlu1956]

What if...LOT is an example of the church, and Sodom is an example of the world? What if...there is a great "dualism" here, perfectly expressing the future? What if...Ezekiel's War and the Rapture go hand in hand? Bingo, that is exactly the analogy the Holy Spirit wants us to grasp. Rapture-Judgement, the whole future of things to come. Luke 21.28.

[@leodegariobocong9175]

Lot was lying about his daughters, because in verse 32 to 36 the daughters of lot they make their father drunk so that they can have sex with their father, because no virgin daughters that will have sex with their father.

[@USDACertified]

But they did

[@Christian-P.O.V]

I have to disagree that consensual homosexuality was a reason God destroyed these two cities. The men of Sodom were looking to have sex with the angels by force. I won’t disagree that homosexuality even consensual does violate God’s law but what we have to ask ourselves is “Don’t I break many of God’s laws as well?” This leads to how Jesus deals with sin and even sexual immorality specifically. Luckily we have John chapter 8 to look towards. We all fail to meet God’s standards. Sodom and Gomorrah had to fall because of their evil and wicked ways; before their power and influence spread

[@jct23]

David are you trying to tell us something? Lol

[@heinmolenaar6750]

Sodom and gommorah never really existed. The story is a mythe.

​​​@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord just use your brain. Do you believe in talking snakes and talking brambles bush? Bread falling from the sky everyday for 40 years . The sea splits in two. Does it make sense to you that jesus rose from the dead after he lay 3 days dead in the grave? And was born to a virgin? And jonah can live for 3 days without any problems in the belly of a fish. And jesus was launched like a rocket into heaven? Ect. If you believe all that nonsense really happened then you have the mind of a 10 year old child. All events as described in the bible never really happened. The stories are myths. The bible is mythology.

[@heinmolenaar6750]

It's all made up. Christianity is mindfuck. ​@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord

[@heinmolenaar6750]

​@@DavidGuzikEnduringWord there is no known teachings directly from jesus himself. And the gospels are no eyewitness testimonies. The gospels are according to markus,Matthew, lucas and john but not from the apostles themselves. The bible doesn't contains eyewitness reports. The bible is not a reliable historical source. Because it does not meet the standard criteria of source reliability used by historians. The bible is not as many believers assume eye witness testimony. Reliable sources and generally based on authors who were eye witnesses to an event ( it's a primary source) since any particular source may be fabricating their story, multiple independed sources are usually required for confidence. Establishing the lack of author biases including religious motivaties, is also necessary if a work is to read at face value. The bible satisfies none of these requirements, based on historical and archaeological research. There are known historical inaccuracies in the bible. The bible is considered mythological by most historians. Historians know the gospels are largely mythology or entirely myths.
