    It's beautiful to see a man who is courageous enough to stand transparent to the world --unafraid to tell of past pains, hurts, and failures while pointing out the only way to peace, wholeness, and life (the Son of God, Jesus Christ)
    May God continue to bless you and your ministry.

  • @xvivaxlaxashleyx
    @xvivaxlaxashleyx 12 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a man of integrity. He takes responsibility for his wrongs even though he wasn't taught any better, and he admits he is not perfect, and that he needs God. Love him!

    Thank you brotha who spoke these words. Thank you for picking up the gospel and opening ur mouth to speak the very utterances of the Spirit. Thank you in a time where many women are hurt and discouraged at the lack of men willing to pick up the gospel in the way they relate to them. Men willing to kill their pride and sacrifice their very life to love and honor and cherish their sister, their own sister! Thank you for the reminder that God has to move on the heart of a man so he can hear.

    I'm glad you found a better life in Christianity. I was starting to myself, until I read the bible and found out how much more mature I am to the god described in the bible by simply caring about my fellow people, regardless how they treat me. I personally don't believe there is a god, but I hold a belief that if I'm wrong, the god that exists is better than me, and thus, better than the god of the bible.

    "Not power nor wisdom is given to those who seek the world and find pleasure in all that is on earth" you have just given me that thought now I know that becoming a man doesn't count the smarts of this world but to only pick up Gods gospel and spread it to the world and be proud of it too. You really are an inspiration brother. Thank you and God bless!!
