    Sometimes I'm so hesitant to click on your videos out of some sort of fear or insecurity that will be exposed, but your words and your perspective always wash over me and provide greater insight. Thanks pastor John! And thank you Jesus for using this ministery to feed us!

    Another beautiful example of God's timing, I've been wrestling with this question over and over recently and I'm not sure why I'm suprised to see this content handed to me at the right time on a plate, again.

    I’m greatly encouraged when God reveals my sin to me… it means He’s stirred it up so He can remove it from me and make that area of my life more holy. Blessed are the poor in spirit and those who grieve over their sin… for theirs is the kingdom of God where they will be comforted.

    I think humbly bowing before God every night, on your knees, and from the bottom of your heart... That true, honesty, sincerity... God knows who is serious about HIM and who isn't... It's as 'perfect' and as 'holy' as you will ever get clothed in dust in this Cursed place... 🙋‍♂️ ✝️ 💜

    The timing of this message could not have been more perfect for me. This is something I've been struggling with for the past few weeks and praying over without much solace or hope. Praise the Lord, and thank you to Christopher and Pastor John for handling this question.

    Look at Christ, turn to Him, the perfecter of our faith, only He sanctifies, not us

    You cannot “out-sin” the grace of God, but you should not want to. And when you do sin, the sin should convict you.

    Pursuit of perfection is a bit like trying to add works.

    Be perfect just as your Father is perfect.

    Come soon Lord! Amen. God is merciful. He always forgives. Never be ashamed to take your failures to him. He is for you, not against you! God is with you in the storm. He knows your troubles, he hears you! He is for you, on your side, always! It may feel silent at times, but he’s holding you close! May the Lord return soon! We are drawing closer. He is coming! Believe and trust in the Lord, you will be saved. Period. May the Lord bless you all! Hang in there family. Stay strong. It is not easy following the Lord. We are scoffed at. We give up our earthly dreams, our fleshly desires. What the enemy offers is short lived, but heaven is forever! Life may seem or be unfair, but God is with you! Always remember that. Things may get better or worse for you, but a kingdom awaits you! Finish the race! Repent daily and carry your cross. This world is fading fast. Your troubles are temporary! New channel here, I’d appreciate any kind of support. Don’t give up! God loves you so much! So do I. The Lord bless you!

    Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect. Matthew 5 :48 Ask for the Holy Spirit to give us the Strength to be pleasing in everything we do, Thought, Word & Deed. It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that we are able to follow Him in His way. We fall short, He does not. Amen.

    Thanks Lord Jesus for the Shepard’s you give us for teaching us and for understanding the truth better and better. God bless you brothers and sisters.->„may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge-that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.“
