Amen! Pastor Vince I remember praying Psalm 141:3 "Set a guard over my mouth, Lord; keep watch over the door of my lips". That was a great teaching about echoing, to be careful what we say can come back. I think Jesus might have borrowed that for a parable!😅😊 I hope that's ok to say that? I completely forgot about where my grandparents lived in the Ozarks, and I remember echoing on their front porch! Wow, that brought back memories from 60 yrs ago!! I'm not sure where the bible verse is, but I remember a time that I would pray Lord, bridle my tongue and place a watch over my lips. I have been known for blending verses together, I don't always remember the chapter and verse, but I pray Lord, keep a watch over my tongue,put a bridle over my lips, help me to watch what I say, so that it will be pleasing to those around me and will be edifying. Lord, I will not sit in the seat of the scornful, nor stand with sinners, I will not counsel with the ungodly. Can you give me advice if this ok to quote scripture that way?
The house my dad grew up in was down in a valley with hills surrounding it, so we could stand on the big front porch and yell to hear our echoed voices too. 🙂. I hadn’t thought of that in years! But yes, for 2025, I pray to be able to share love and blessings with those around me, just like my dad did his whole life. He shared the bounty of his gardens and also his time when neighbors needed a hand in a building project or tractor problem. May the blessings of the New Year be abundant for you and Sherry! Thank you for your encouraging videos….🥰 ❤-Brenda
Thank you for sharing! When I told my Mom about the echo she had forgotten this event. She seem pleased that I reminded her about it. I pray you have a blessed 2025!
Several years ago, when I was attending a women’s retreat, the group of ladies I was with would always stop at a Cracker Barrel on the way there and on the way back. One of the ladies in our group would tell the waitress that we would be saying a blessing before our meal, and did she (the waitress), have anything she wanted us to pray for. I try to remember that anytime I go out to eat now. People are so astonished that you actually care enough to pray for them. Some will say no, but many will open up and have you to pray for a loved one who is sick or for some problem they may be having. It’s something I hope I will always remember to do! Happy New Year to you and Sherry❣️
Yes, that is a great idea about praying with your waitress, that is a great witness. We never know what someone else is going through and a kind word can really help.
This is the best way to approach the new year. Our walk with Jesus is much more important and beneficial than any resolutions (that are rarely kept anyway!) It is my prayer that I will continue to grow spiritually and grow ever closer to Jesus. This is a truly helpful channel!
Thx for the prayers! Planning on following the Navigators’ Bible reading plan this year. Still trying to land on a work out routine I can stick with. 😵💫
Thanks for such a great message, Pastor Vince. I pray that every day I shine more brightly for Jesus and that I get to know Him more and more. Happiest of New Year's for you and Sherry. I am so thankful you are both in my life. ❤........Roxy
I believe in us. Is my echo..... whoever I am with daily, family , co workers and friends, let’s believe in each other..........Another note I grew up with cousins, we had the best time outdoor , chatting and laughing., in the 60’s..........they are my life friends today
Thank you & I receive your blessings. I'm praying for the lord to give me a word or theme for 2025. In 2024 with good Christian teaching I'm learning how to set healthy boundaries. Each year I like to learn something new. One year it was Sudoku puzzles. Do you & Sherry like to do puzzles? This year I'd like to make delicious bread & gift away to others. Enjoy your evening. Thank you.
Merry Christmas! I love these talks that end with something to do. I’m at that point in my life where I need a little nudge and reminder to act. We just moved to the south, from the north east, a couple of years ago and I am still shocked that people actually mention God and will even say things like “have a blessed day” to complete strangers. Your video has prompted me to make a point of talking to a stranger when I go shopping in 2025, and include a mention of God. Maybe mentioning how good God is or something along those lines. I wonder what would flow naturally in a one minute conversation at the checkout line? I’m still overjoyed to be living someplace were Christians are not harassed as they were in the city we lived in before.
Thank you for your kind words and I’m glad you are enjoying living in the South! People love hearing a kind word so always be willing to share one! I pray you have a great 2025!
Amen! Pastor Vince

What a great Scripture to remember the importance of guarding the words that leave our lips! Thank you for sharing!

Thanks Vince, well received.
