This man sexually abused many young women and deceived many Christian leaders. WHY honor this man? Honor JESUS CHRIST instead, who is pure and holy . JESUS is the WAY, TRUTH and LIFE–not this man. He was a deceiver.
Ravi ,you through Christ saved my life. I hope to see you one day.
Rapist.

Please Pray for Ukraine 🇺🇦
Please pray for civilians in Ukraine 🇺🇦 🙏😭
God has all the power, all the goodness, all the knowledge 'by default'. He hasn't worked hard for it. It's like a 'free fund'.
He should also have given these qualities to us by default.
Thankyou for uploading these messages.
2 Corinthians 12:9-10
9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
So we all have to suffer because they bit into that bloody apple. Nice one. 😒
Precious Memories- By Sonya Lakey
We had no idea that the evening of September 24th, 2021, would be the last night our family would be complete. We laughed together, played games, sang, and enjoyed listening as our oldest son played the piano for us. I packed a lunch for him (which he usually did for himself) for the church hike he was going on the following day.
My mom, who was visiting from out of state, and I got up early with him on Saturday morning to hug him and see him off. He hugged me and smiled, never pulling away or rushing me. He got in the car, waved, said he'd see me later and he loved me. It was hard to watch my "new driver" heading out on his own.
As he pulled out of the gate, I turned to my mom and said, "It's just so hard letting go." Little did I know how much "letting go" I was really doing. That was the last time I saw our 16 year old son. He did not make it home that night.
That afternoon, a friend had tried to contact us, leaving a message on the phone to call back due to an emergency, but we really had no clue what was going on. And though we tried several times to return the call, we were not able to make a connection. As I helped prepare supper, an overwhelming feeling of deep concern for Ethan and dread filled my heart, and I quietly blinked back tears. I looked out the window, half expecting to see a police officer pulling in, but no.
However, within minutes, a police car DID pull in our driveway. In my heart, I feared the worst, but I went outside to speak with him. He confirmed who I and my husband (who followed me out) were, then hesitantly told us our son had fallen off a bluff and had succumbed to his injuries. Our hearts were crushed…. Still are.
Yet, in all of our brokenness, deep, continual grief and loneliness, we have such a blessed Hope and assurance that we will see our dear son again. You see, even as a young boy, Ethan realized some very important truths from God's Word.
He had sinned against a righteous, holy and just God. The Bible says:
“For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; ” (Romans 3:23)
“Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned:” (Romans 5:12)
He understood that his sin separated him from God, and he deserved to spend eternity in Hell.
“It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God.” (Hebrews 10:31)
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.” (Romans 6:23)
He understood he could not pay the price for his sins.
“For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
Not of works, lest any man should boast.” (Ephesians 2:8-9)
Ethan realized that, 'though he could not pay the price for his sins, the price had already been paid in full by the blood of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. Jesus lived a perfectly sinless life. He had no fault of His own. But Jesus was crucified for our sins, and He took on Himself the sins of every person in the whole world. He was beaten, spit on, whipped, mocked, scourged, and nailed to the Cross of Calvary. He shed every drop of His righteous blood – because that was the only thing that could satisfy the just demands of a righteous God – so we could be made righteous in Him. He suffered all of that so Ethan – and you and I – would not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire, but so we could spend eternity in Heaven with HIM! THAT is a great LOVE.
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16)
“But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us.” (Romans 5:8)
Jesus did not stay on the cross, nor did He stay in the tomb where His body was buried. Three days later, Jesus arose triumphant over sin and death and the grave. Ethan believed this with his whole heart, asked Jesus to forgive his sins, and he put his faith in Jesus Christ ALONE to save him from sin and eternal death and to take him to Heaven someday.
“For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.” (Romans 10:13)
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.” (John 10:28)
Because of this great salvation, Ethan lived his life serving Jesus and others. He worked hard to spread this Good News to the world. We know he is alive in Heaven with Jesus today, and we know we will see him again soon, not because he was a great kid, but because of his faith in the great Saviour!
What about you? What if you had fallen to your death that day? Would your family, though grieving, be able to rejoice in the knowledge that they would see you again in Heaven, or would you be burning in Hell today?
The Word of God is very clear that there is only One Way to Heaven. “Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.” (John 14:6)
Have YOU trusted Jesus as YOUR Saviour? Have you repented of your sins? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you so you can go to Heaven & not have to spend eternity in the Lake of Fire? Tomorrow may be too late. As Ethan pulled out of sight that morning, we had no idea we would never see him again in this life. None of us have the promise of tomorrow! Repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus alone – today!
“(For he saith, I have heard thee in a time accepted, and in the day of salvation have I succoured thee: behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation.)” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
"Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapour, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away." James 4:14
What I take issue with, is that we're beginning to understand how the subconscious mind controls our actions – our conscious reasoning and deliberation of why we choose a particular action is merely an attempt to understand and justify the subconscious. In other words, free will does not exist, simply because we are at the disposal of our subconscious mind. If that's the case, why would a just god create a hell, and punish people for eternity for actions by which they had no choice?
God Bless Everyone. Make sure to pray for you enemies if you have any
soul does not exist! afterlife does not exist! devil does not exist! God does not exist! hope nonsense does exist!.

God bless you for uploading these videos. Great sermons indeed!
Can’t believe you suckers are still posting this sexual predators sermons. It’s a disgrace, shame on you.
Some questions cannot be explained by religious teachings or even logic unless you "just believe" (teachings, Scriptures, dogmas). It seems there are things we don't want to accept that we really don't know, so we resort to believing. You believe what you don't know. We need to know and understand God rather than just believe, and know things as they are rather than trying to find explanations that confirm our beliefs.
The problem is not the existence of God because it's not us who created ourselves or the universe. The problem is the way we humans interpret or imagine God, the nature, characteristics and functioning of God versus our life, which causes confusions yielding in different religions, interpretations. The reasons there are believers and atheists, on both sides, they are struggling to find explanations to existential question (better to understand them than blame them).
Still the problem comes back:
1) Why does God have to allow problems/sufferings/complications so that he teaches or improves us while He is almighty, omnipresent, and omnipotent? Why does he have to allow our sufferings so that he has glory, he is righteous (he doesn’t need humans’ approval to be God, he is already God).
2) If God has left responsibility to humans to choose between good and evil, so human decision is not the initial cause of evil: evil existed before humans because humans were created to choose (freedom to choose, you choose when there are alternatives). What is really the root (initial) origin of evil, why do we put the initial responsibility to humans who were created and given two paths: good and evil? How can a fruit (physical food) cause sin (spiritual) as per the creation narrative (myth)? If God created everything and controls everything, then we seem to be victims of a theater we didn’t start. If God is in control then to what extent do humans control the change, how shall we take the responsibility?
God is timeless and can see in the future he knew Adam and Eve would sin: so did God create the earth as a provisional residence of humans to test humans? How do we know God plans? Does God need to do things provisionally as if he isn’t able to do final things?
God asks humans to do good but allows the evil and sufferings: is he testing us? Isn't he sure of our capacity (the Creator is not a factory engineer who has to test a machine before selling it. He is supreme).
3) We are the product of God: why do we have to struggle so much to understand God, to be like God as if there is a huuuge distance between us and God, yet we are taught God is in us, with us?
4) Probably we don't want to accept that there are things we really don't know, which will be known in future. We struggle to convince ourselves and others that we know everything, trying to confirm our beliefs, thinking the current generation’s knowledge and understanding of life is the latest. Yet human knowledge is tiny and miniscule compared to the universe, let alone God. If we can’t understand fully an atom in its entirety, how can we be sure we understand universe, let alone the Creator?
5) Either we interpret God and its characteristics according to our wishes and level of knowledge, or God exists but does not operate as we think or wish. We imagine God as humanlike (give gender to God (why-He), we determine his authority and power, we think we know and teach the history of God, where he lives, his plans, what he likes, that he cares all our wishes….).
There are evils caused by us humans, and there are those caused by nature (eg: natural catastrophes)-maybe it’s the nature’s design since the beginning. A Human cannot control everything that happens. Why do we tend to attribute responsibility to demons (Satan?)
6) Responsibility given to humans means that we have to use our decision to choose, our intelligence, thinking, reasoning to understand God (not leaving this to other forces –such as grace, prayers, spirits…like some people believe).
7) All ideas I have written express my longing to know, I really need to understand.
