How can you identify pride in your life? Are you or those around you slowly turning into modern-day Pharisees? The first sin in the Bible was pride. God hates pride. Pride can show up in our lives in very subtle ways. In this video I take a detailed verse-by-verse look at Matt. 23 and identify 3 ways we can tell that pride is in our lives and how we can tell if we are a modern-day pharisee.

Happy anniversary and happy birthday, God bless you and your wife, and your child as well!
I hate the sin I commit, and I don’t want to hurt you anymore Heavenly Father. Continue to work in my life and change my ways. I don’t want to lose you, or do what you hate from here on out.
Gavin Mortimer amen, that was a great prayer, brother!
Same here! AMEN!!!
May I help you ease your thoughts to weather God is hurt by our sins for we know that all things work together for the good of them that love God and are called according to his purpose.
You will not lose God if you are saved
@@jamesgeller1738
But what is the evidence you are saved? Isnt it separation from the sinful lifestyle?
Yeah, I have a problem with pride but I know God will help me with that so people pls pray for me.
Hey at least you admit it . Most people won’t
Yea i do too😔 but let's try to get away with it ✨
Me too bro, just recently found that out, well get through it together in Christ ❤.
Same, I pray God helps us all!
@@raybell7619 Yes amen. Let’s pray for everyone struggling with pride
I'm glad that there's someone addressing this instead of just calling someone "lukewarm".
I know right
I got called lukewarm many times, and I was. I needed to hear it at the time, I not saying bullying someone about their wrongs but addressing it so they know.
@@angelokeke695 The Purpose of Life is to do God's Will and you can find His Will in the Scriptures
Omg yessss!
@@angelokeke695 what he meant by this comment isn’t about ppl who actually are lukewarm and need to hear it! There are those believers that just because they don’t wear their religion on their sleeves like other super religious Christians do they call them lukewarm! Think he meant that most churches preach about lukewarm more than super religious like the Pharisees
I definitely need help with pride. I stopped playing the piano for churches because I noticed that I was doing it for money and to be seen. Until recently, I was "pretending" to be Christian, because I was in church all the time (never read my Bible). However, I went to be seen. Now, I am reading my Bible and learning things. I feel like I am growing, but part of me is still very prideful.
Jessica, you have taken the first step Unto real righteousness, and, not being a person that has made themselves as a puppet that pull's it's own string's,,,,, Many in the,,,lime light,,,,do just that,,,,, where pride goeth, destruction follows,,,,,,, all the head's of all the Beast of the Bible,,,,, were and are, very prideful,yea egotistical tyrants, from Nimrod up to today with the pope,,,,, two of Satan's favorite things he uses is, pride,,, and prejudice,,,,, causing derision amongst God's people,,,,, the truth of the matter is that,, God did not create races of Men,,,,in the beginning all of mankind spoke the same language,had the same skin tone and the same type of hair,,,,, because of Nimrod and the tower of babel and the false gods he forced the people to worship,, God confounded the language and scattered them throughout the earth,,, giving them different attributes in order for them to survive the condition of land and atmosphere of that region,,,,,, the word,,, race,, is mentioned in the bible four times and always means a competition between men,,,,,, I'm praying for the good will of God to keep you strong.
This is a good video. I do have necklaces and earrings that have a cross on it but I don't wear it out of pride. I just wear it to glorify Christ. I walk around alot of unbelievers everyday and when they see my jewelry with a cross I want them to be reminded of Christ. I just want my life to be more of Jesus and less of me
kjack3211 same here I love my necklace and I know I’m far from perfect
Keshawna Craft explain how you came to this conclusion please...

Habakkuk 2:18
“What profiteth the graven image that the maker thereof hath graven it; the molten image, and a teacher of lies, that the maker of his work trusteth therein, to make dumb idols?”
Ashley Yasharahla ? Who is worshipping crosses on necklaces though?
After a late night staying up talking to my wife I asked her to point out a blind spot of mine and she said it was pride. OUCH. I truly needed to hear that.
Lord, thank you for loving a sinner such as me.
You resist the proud and give grace to the humble.
Internally.... the LIGHT is within.
Do things that are meaningful to you.
Shine.
Be the best version of yourself.
God is proud of the person you are becoming.
Be mindful in the present moment.
God's gift is the present moment.
Love & be kind, Humankind, to yourselves & eachother.
I suppose you didn't want to write ," things meaningful to you " but according to the word
Answering the question of the day: I noticed big time pride creeping into my life. I was being publicly recognized for my postings and videos about God and for some reason in 2018 I let it get to my head.....and was humbled by the Lord. Still working on it, in fact I believe still may be in that process right now. So knowing this, i now often think of the temptation people like yourself, pastors, or famous Christian Speakers/ singer, or anyone in the spotlight may have. That temptation to puff yourself up is REAL. May the Lord guard every servant of His that is in the spotlight of some kind.
How did He humble you
if u’d be willing to share?
@@falsehoodbasher7240 You don’t have to listen if you don’t want too. But yesterday, I read Proverbs and asked God to humble me, and get rid of every pride inside of me. And today a fellow Christian and I were going back and forth and they said I was being prideful, I never paid no mind to it, because I thought I was right (that was the pride in me talking). As soon as the person exposed me, I looked at what the person was trying to say and I actually understood their point. I’ve realized God was humbling me right there, and how I was so prideful that it blinded me to see what was right. I’m still trying to work on it, and I hope one day I can live a pride-free life & be a humble, wise child of God.
@@saigie3908 I was with you until you said "child of God"
I'm sorry but that is prideful in itself. Because we're
*in reality* children of *Adam* , not God!!! He, The God
is faaaar above having any begotten offspring. It
is pure arrogance to think such blasphemy and The
Christians say we're created "in The image" of God!!!
AS IF The Almighty can be encompassed in an image
@@falsehoodbasher7240 That’s not my intentions at all. I’m saying I’m a child of God, because God is the Father, He guides His children, and helps His children. I wasn’t trying to be prideful when I say “Child of God” because I’m just saying that I need God’s help and that I can’t succeed in life without God, for He created me and knows everything about me. I never knew that saying “I’m a child of God” was some sort of pride, because I always thought it meant u r a lost child in need of a father aka God. God adopted me into His family. I’m not saying I’m like God or Jesus, or anything God like. In my opinion, I’m just saying that I hope to be a child of God who has a Heavenly Father who helps His lost children. Cause He is our compass and our Father.
Edit: Also I know we came from humans, but I’m just saying God has adopted His children and chose His children, and is willing to help His children who are lost.
@@saigie3908 ah ok. Well God is not adopting
right now. He may in The afterlife, I don’t
know, but definitely not now. If you want
to honor yourself “servant of God” is The
True way. Our God above instead of our
Father but that is fine too as long as you
don’t think God has or can ever have any
biological offspring (or parents). He is
wayyy too above His creation for that.
He created Heaven and established His
Throne *above* it, not *in* it. Thanks peace.
I've been struggling with self-righteous recently. I needed this. Thank you for reminding me of how much I need Jesus.
I like the Billy Graham says . It's our Job to Love . It's the Holy Spirit to convict and God to Judged
I have been reciting this scripture lately in Proverbs 8:13. "The fear of the Lord is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward mouth, do I hate"
To answer your question: I have achieved many great things in my life or had great opportunities God has given me. But I sometimes boast about what I have done or how people cannot see that I am great for achieving that. I feel that Allen Parr has answered my question of pride. I can see it all the time in human nature, around my friends and family. It is so hard to realise this yourself because you are so caught up about that everything is about you. Pride is such a hard thing to stop as we only think about ourselves and how we can stand out in a selfish way around people. This does not mean to have no confidence in yourself but more of how much we take for granted just because of what we have or have done. It distracts us from God and it sets selfish motives. It's good to be proud of youself for what you have done, but it shouldn't be something that is always thought of or put forward and expressed all the time.
@Addison Amit If possible give glory to God, verbally. If not possible, in your heart give glory to God, and humbly accept the accolades, for God sees the heart and people see the humility, that gives God the glory. God bless you.
I guess I'm a year late, but this is a great video. Pride can go undetected for a long time, and then sneak up on us so easily. As a worship leader, singer, and guitarist, this is something that is a constant struggle. I can sing or play a worship song, seemingly with pure heart. Then all it takes is one person saying something like "man...you were awesome" and I can find myself wanting to hear more and more of this. I'm sure that pastors even struggle with the same things.
I struggle with the same issue of pride as l teach a small group bible study at my church. Someone says, "That was a great bible study!" and I feel my head starting to rapidly inflate. I must put a pin in it immediately!! We must consider ourselves dead to sin. A dead person is moved neither by praise nor by criticism. What happens if no one pats me on the back? Do l resent it or become discouraged? That exposes my motivation for what l'm doing.
God gives us gifts to glorify him and edify the body of Christ. The key words: "GOD GIVES." What do l have that l did not receive? THE GIVER IS GREATER THAN THE GIFT AND THUS HE IS WORTHY OF ALL THE WORSHIP AND PRAISE! If we seek the praise of men here and now we may receive temporary rewards while squandering eternal ones (Matthew 6:1-18, John 12:42-43, Galatians 1:10). God is jealous for his glory (Isaiah 42:8). We must make a conscious decision to point to God and give him all the praise and honor for ALL GOOD THINGS COME FROM ABOVE.
If I do anything well lately, my mind congratulates me way too often, which didn't happen hardly at all before, because maybe I didn't feel I did much well. I would rebuke it, but sometimes I'd entertain it, because I thought that was true, finally I'm getting some things right. It has led to some pride that I've had to repent of. It's so devious, that many times I don't realize I was in the sin of pride, but just think I'm right. I do know when I haven't repented in my heart of any sin, pride comes up really quick. I never thought of me being prideful, but listening to others, I found out I was and sometimes still am. I think more listening and less talking will help me in this battle, as well as obeying God.
That’s why god looks at the heart and not outward appearances because he knows why we do things we do
This is an excellent video....always good to keep each other in check.... Another indicator of pride is when I see other Christians purposely starting arguments or "holy wars" with atheists or person not rooted in the faith. I believe that if a Christian sincerely was concerned about the person they would privately pray for them or answer belief questions in a more reactive than defensive way
I highlight the Bible but it's so I know where to go back and read I don't show off but I have been letting people around me know that I love God and Jesus and that I feel happier and more peaceful that's all I'm hoping that people see how Jesus has changed my life and want to find Jesus themselves
I do the same for some of the reasons you've mentioned. Plus it's a way for me to stay engaged in the text rather than allowing the words to flow through my eyes but out the back of my head. But what brother Parr was saying is using that marked/highlighted bible as a means to get attention where someone else might say, "Wow. You must be really in into the word!" Meanwhile it my have been four months since you've actually read that bible!! The markings were made when you were actually into studying the word.
A similar thing could be praying a great seeming prayer in PUBLIC while one doesn't have the PERSONAL prayer life with the Father at home. I recall a story about a preacher who'd just preached a great sermon. He went out to eat with his wife and another pastor and she helped her husband confess that he had no private prayer life.
I have had my Bible since 1983. I have done many Bible studies, sermons and devotions in my Bible and it is filled with highlights and writing. But I also have many other Bibles in different translations and for different studies. Which should I take to church or ministry or Bible study? It really doesn’t matter because I will inevitably learn something new and want to record my thoughts or something the teacher/pastor has said. And I wear a tiny cross around my neck that I never take off. I just love it because my husband gave it to me.
Never saying sorry or saying sorry and adding a “but”. Everyone else is wrong, but you. You see the specked in your brothers eye, but not that log sticking out of your eye 👀
I tend to struggle with this. What are some ways?
Saigie it takes accepting Christ and adopting humility, praying to God saying “Lord, may You take permanent residence in my spirit, I want to be filled with the gifts and fruits of Your Spirit. Help me to walk in Your son and adopt His character” in Jesus name, amen
God bless ♥️
@@JESUSLOVESYOU219 Tysm! God bless
Saigie you’re very welcome ♥️♥️
This was excellent! You hit the nail right on the head and drove it home. I know for myself I must always question and examine my motivations and actions. I can be doing all the right things for all the wrong reasons. The greatest reward is to do a good deed in secret and have it discovered by accident.
Father I am too prideful, forgive me my father I have sinned against you I LOVE YOU GOD FORGIVE ME PLEASE 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Good word! Some of these pastors are not preaching the whole truth.... They instead preach crowd pleasing messages. Keep spreading the good news MOG🙏🏾
Wow this really opened my eyes to how I do things to be seen. We can’t be the meek people God wants us to be if we are prideful. Thank you Allen for doing the Lord’s work
You called me out with the Bible highlighting. My intention is just to make the importance of the scriptures stand out. But I do take pride in someone else seeing all my highlights and notes. Lord please create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me.
Great message dear brother, from Jesus. So thankful to the Lord for your great love for God and His people.
I had to step away from public worship because of the pride was overflowing with comments like
" Don't we have the best church in the world" or "Don't we have the best praise and worship team in the world"
It was not being humble at all. I for one love to live unnoticed an it was very uncomfortable to me. Then it went on to bashing people especially homosexuals. I just couldn't take it anymore. I even made many attempts to bring this to their attention. But I was told it was their church. So my husband and I left. Now everyone thinks we are being judgmental.
But I noticed that we were starting to become more like the world and less like Christ. It was unattractive and was not loving.
May the Lord continue to bless you abundantly for speaking biblical truth to set those who are in bondage to this world free. God bless ❤️
Angie Young God bless you too.
Thank you for this. There is a fine line. I do need to check myself constantly.
David Wilkerson once said that humility is a sin of altitude, as soon as you think you are humble it is gone. Amen to your teaching and another Good one from yo Allan.
Oh no way! I'm early I didn't realise I think the holy spirit wanted me to watch this! As I just automatically went onto your video!
Once again, great video Allen- love your videos.
The biggest pride thing I struggle with is not trying to appear holier-than-thou, or telling people what to do from a religious perspective, but I would say it is more religious politics, you might say.
The irony of Christianity is that we have the same text- the Bible, but so many interpretations, and so many denominations and sect based on interpretation- Protestantism (Lutheran, Non-denominational, Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian, Pentecostal, etc), Roman Catholicism, Anglican, and Eastern Orthodox to name a few.
I am a strong supporter of Biblical Protestantism, and I greatly admire the split from the Catholic Church during the Protestant Reformation. I strongly support the 5 Solas, which is the backbone mission statement for the different denominations of Protestantism. Consequently, I am anti-Catholic Church- but not anti-Catholic, in regards to individual Catholics. But I greatly disagree with the Catholic Church, like most Protestants, on theological issues.
I don't consider Protestantism a necessity for salvation (Salvation only comes through Christ alone- John 14:6, Acts 4:12), but I feel it is much more Biblical than Catholicism or Eastern Orthodox, which is based on Scripture, teachings of early church father and leaders, speculative theology concepts, and tradition.
But as Christians, whatever our denomination, we should see ourselves as fellow brethren in Christ, not as an egotistical battle of theology, which I am very guilty of, as well as others, I'm sure.
That is my pride issue. I get caught up in the egotistical identification with Protestantism, whereas the focus should be on unity in belief in Christ Jesus.
matthias66 amen
I am sooooo prideful! Wow!
Your videos have helped me so much with my walk with God, I have so many questions and need some help at times and your videos have really been a HUGE help! I appreciate these videos so much! Thank you!
One thing I find myself doing and what I’ve heard before is judging yourself based on intentions and judging others on the results- what happened
God bless everybody!!!!❤❤❤
Lately I have been comparing myself to other Christians. Measuring myself against them. The Lord showed me that that is actually a form of judgment and I have repented of it. Actually sometimes I have to repent multiple times a day and ask forgiveness! It's very hard to stop. But I know that He is working in me and hopefully I will come to a place where I stop doing it.
I'm an assistant pianist at church. I get alot of compliments. But I give God the credit every time. Without him I wouldn't have it. However we do seem to have Pharisees in our church. They guard their positions to the extent where they are right and THEY are the ones with the credentials. God pulled me off my high horse, and I'm satisfied to just be a servant. Great video. Your videos have helped me alot. God bless you for what you do for Jesus Christ and for us.
Conviction is awesome. Tells me I need to change.
Important message🙏 Thankyou. Praise the LORD
I thank God my friend showed her walk with Christ on her social media, or I would of never known what a relationship with Jesus looked like! I'm glad she shared that she went to church, that she went to Bible studies, that she spoke highly of her husband..yes I understand that sometimes we can do it for the wrong motives, but we want others to see our walk, with the right motives, so they can see light. If not how will they know? I became a born again with the help of seeing the witness of other Christians, don't hide that you are at church, that you highlight your Bible, keep doing that and sharing Bible verses as long as your motive is to draw people to Christ!:D and make sure it does not take the place of your own relationship with God. Our relationship with God first then He will lead us on how to share our witness with others!:)
IF YOU ARE READING THIS . . . I have pride, please pray for me so the Holy Spirit can work this out of me please. I thank you in advance. God bless you...♥️🙋🏻♂️🙏🏻😑🔥🔥🔥
Sometimes I'm like the Pharisees and even though I try to say that I'm humble I'm really more prideful then anyone else. I feel like I have formulated my relationship with God and made it a religion rather than a relationship because it's easier just check out and check off a box rather than engage God by faith throughout the day
same I say to people "don't be a hypocrite" or "stop being so arrogant" but after watching this video the Lord revealed to me im the one being arrogant or being a hypocrite and don't even realise it. all praise and glory to the Most High God
I am going through this and it’s getting worse day by day, how did you repent of it, I ask for forgiveness but I don’t know how to change, I want to but I don’t know how to, it’s an issue with my heart I hate it. I find it really hard to pray, I feel as if this sin is really separating me from him. It’s my fault, any advice?
happy belated birthday and happy anniversary to mr and mrs parr!!! great message and god bless you guys!!
When I was Agnostic, I thought of hypocrisy as a good thing in some cases because you're trying to help others, knowing they're probably mentally stronger and able to implement my advice in their lives better than I can. I'm not gonna argue with the Lord's stance on it. I wonder if it's okay to tell someone to work on something and tell them I'm working in it too, kinda like telling them about their speck in their eye while working on pulling the log out of mine. That's unbiblical though, so I need to practice self control and pray for guidance.
Yeah thats exactly what I was thinking about rn, i got rlly convicted
That was one of your best explanations of self in the Bible. And, it made me aware of myself, and others, I have associated with.
You need more views man
Thank you for the wake up call Allen from God! :) God bless you!
Thank you, this is a great check for myself.
You're welcome Linc Dawson! Thanks so much!
Very encouraging video, brother. Sometimes we are so prideful of our faith and forget that it is God that chose us! To glorify Him! Oh how I’m guilty of this everyday. Praise God for messages like this popping up on my TH-cam feed.
True, we mustn't be judgemental but let's not mistake that for speaking truth. If I hear something that I need to change or work on, that's not me being judged, it's truth being brought to my attention. Early in my walk I was always confronted with truths that molded me... and still do.
So...I needed someone to bring these truths to light for me. My pride could have prevented me from learning but I listened and had them show me in scripture(always show me) and I grew.
Amen hallelujah amen bless Christ Jesus God bless you all right now! Amen 🙏
I catch myself doing things to make other people think I’m a good Christian but I’m doing it out pride im sorry jesus
These are great pointers to examine ourselves. One area I think we might be displaying pride is believing that our gifts, positions and duties at church are more important or of greater value in the church than others. For example, some believers who speak in tongues think they are more spiritual than those who do not. Likewise, today we celebrate those with gifts of prophecy and healing than those who are teachers of the word, thus putting them on a pedestal of honour above others and thereby sowing seeds of pride and arrogance.
Welp this totally changed my look on getting a crucifix chain, I am not buying one it actually seems better to buy a plain Chan now so I won’t have pride😂 I’m better off with no jewelry, this was a very great video God bless yall✝️
Thank you Allen! Happy Birthday!
i got a bunch of pride in its stopping me from witnessing to people in sharing the gospel with people so i got pride i just need to learn how to remove it i pray about so so so much but i understand that god has a time for everything.
Guilty as charged Your Honor... Who would have thunk it. The word of God says that we should examine ourselves to see if we are in the way. Sometimes I realize that I am indeed "in the way" but not like it is stated here. My pride and the flesh get "in the way" of the work of the Holy Spirit in the lives of even the sincerest of believers. Namely, guys like me who are tripped up daily by my own sins and "good intentions". How blessed we are to have a Savior like Jesus Christ. If it weren't for Jesus' work upon the cross we would all be doomed. Thank you Lord for your grace and mercy in saving a wretch like me...
Thank you Brother Allen! This was very helpful to me.
This applies to me so much that as I'm watching it I literally want to click off it every ten seconds
Brother, I love your videos and watching them has helped me in my walk with Christ. God bless you.
Often I am reminded of the ancient proverb: Pride cometh before the fall and a haughty spirit before destruction.
I tend to examine my life and myself. Im always picking on whats wrong with me and trying to change myself in my own thinking and i know this is truly not okay. We are all one, we are all Gods people, I'm just praying that God will help me get out of this!
If i knew the date this video is released i would remember to greet you again when the date comes. God bless you Allen.
Amen ❤️ it really rebukes me we should really be careful our heart is deceitful
Happy bday bro. May God continue to bless you in Lord Jesus Name Amen!
Im going to pray immediately nw!
I had a problem with pride, because I would make song that I was fasting and praying for someone.
Then I would also be self serving and wanted to do only things I wanted to do?
I corrected my ways I have a mind to do it from them and let it be in secret between me and GOD
This absolutely true and I see myself in this entire message. Thank you
I do highlight my bible a lot because of scriptures that ping me along with comments in margins. Except the red letters because that's Jesus, and post scriptures and what they have meant to me. Testified what God has done and struggles. I wear Christian tshirts for a couple reasons everywhere. First as an advertisement or "walking billboard" for jesus. I started this because I realized that people read tshirts and based on comments they offer encouragement and plant seeds. The second is as a extra check on my behavior as to I want to make sure that my actions match my shirts. When i first got saved i changed my profile pic to Jesus to help learn to respond to comments and my posts. I agree with your video though, especially the titles. But as always its food for thought. Thank you.
Like you said: it all depends on our hearts motive. When I commune with God, I go on prayer walks (alone with nobody watching) because I ENJOY time with God. God has put it on my heart to put some index cards on a ring, so when I walking from place to place or standing in a grocery line, I look at them to keep my mind renewed (I get kind of nervous when waiting in long lines not doing anything). People may say I am doing all this for show, BUT God knows the intent of my heart. So, yes, some of those things mentioned can also be done WITHOUT being done through pride. God knows the intent of our hearts. Sometimes, people think I am prideful, BUT that judgement is a figment of their opinion and says more about them than me. It all depends on the posture of the person's heart.
I can't thank you enough for these videos. I'm so grateful to have come across the priceless videos.
I struggle with trying to impress people at work and I have been struggling with it I know I must stop doing this and only work to please the Lord our god
I struggle with self righteousness with self righteous people.
Thank you a lot for this massege
You're welcome Melo Gee! Thanks so much!
Pray for me please, I struggle with pride.
Happy belated Birthday and Anniversary to you, Allen. God's Blessings over you, your wife and family.
Happy Birthday, and Happy Anniversary to you and your bride.
Pray for me that the Lord would help me to be free of pride
Happy birthday and wedding anniversary! 🤗
Happy belated Birthday and Anniversary, Allen! God's Blessings over you, your wife and family.
By focusing more on yourself then on God and by comparing ourselves to other believers such as what they believe in Doctrine, or where they are Spiritually.
I think I have been struggling with this but I surrender to the Lord and I ask him to take away the Pharisee spirit and replace it with the Holy spirit❤
May you who reading this, may God give you a successful life
Thank you for this much needed video.
I appreciate your teachings my brother. God bless!
This is very helpful. Thankyou
Hey Allen, great topic!!! Can u talk about Narcissism in the church. Mainly with pastors and church leaders and what congregants can do to arrest it.
Amen was really struggling with this
Kutless-Pride Away
is a nice song to have stuck in your head XD
Are another pride I can think of it when you don't care about other and you also boost about your success
4:02 -- this is where things get into a grey area. When I'm out in the world, I have in my mind, the verse about people praising God when they see my good works. I know it makes me an annoying goody-goody to some people, but I'm always eager to put up my hand to help, or to bake someone a special cake for their birthday/occasion, because of that verse. So, Matt 23:5 just stumped me. Sometimes even I annoy myself, like it seems like I'm trying to show that I'm a better person because I'm a Christian, but I don't know how else to live out that verse. Now, I really don't know how to!
Lilac Milkshake keep doing works of love, just make sure to always pray to God and thank him for the grace to do good. Constantly remind yourself that all good comes from God alone and that it is through him that you do all good things. Prayer is the key! God bless :-)
Wonderful message!! Thank you so much!!
This is what I needed to hear
"Look at me ministry".
We all have to examine ourselves let's love knowing how it was for us getting out of bondage I have to work on myself and even if I'm cool on certain things don't mean I have the other thing covered we are not perfect God created in a true believer to examine ourselves we ain't all that we are not better than the next but The Almighty is everything and Jesus paved the way if He didn't die for our sins we would be lost
Really good video, i needed this !
I figured being "seen" doing things for people would inspire others to do for others too....maybe I need to reconsider that. Not reconsider doing for others but in being "seen". I viewed it as the Tom Sawyer fence painting thing....make it look so great that others would join in. Sometimes I think I need to remove myself from being "seen" so much that I just turn into a robot...an automaton. Like I'm not even there. A 2 yr Christian and I'm confused about certain things
Great way to break that down thank you for the word
As always excellent video, keep'em coming ! ! !
