You should focus on your SEO so that You can get a big fanbase. I can help you if you want Thank you
I hope the speaker in this video sees this. Can you give me a simple clear explanation of what you mean when you say CS Lewis was free to live because Jesus died? Essentially I think that’s what you said. I just don’t understand how to make that connection.
To help understand it, read the story of Barabbas leading up to Jesus crucifixion and death Barabbas was a convicted Criminal Who was scheduled to be crucified that day, with the crowd screamed for Barabbas to be set free and Jesus to be crucified in his place We are all Barabbas, including CS Lewis. Because innocent Jesus took our place on the cross as criminals who have sinned against God and paid the price for our sins, we have been set free and we can live for christ, the one who set us free
@@grafxgrl8030 Isaiah 53:5- But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. In this verse there is the promise of forgiveness, peace, and healing (spiritual, mental/ emotional and physical)
One of the biggest dangers of “full-time ministry” is that those who write your paycheck, control, ever so subtly, your stand for TRUTH and Scripture. I’ve seen the dynamic for over 55 years. I chose to be both a Christian and a professional.
Strange how i will behave myself when i know i have a roof over my head, protecting me from darkness, cold and rain, that prevents mugging, murder of my person and burglarring of my goods. Nonetheless, "go! C. S., go!"
You are perfectly right, I just started reading the scriptures after asking God for help earlier this year having no understanding of the who and the why.... I knew I needed Jesus, and after repenting of sins, I was able to see . In him I believe and in him I have faith, no longer is there douth even though I have no answers or explain it to others so they also understand, I know it's true because of what I've seen with my eyes and my heart. I think the best part of the Bible are passages with the words of Jesus. He was just like us , not the strongest fastest wealthiest yet he was the Best
I don't think 'creating a business' is in the same category as the arts.... A bit of an imposition here I know (this is my first video from your channel I have watched) but, if I may ask- I'm guessing that you're a non- catholic christian? ;)
"Pray for relief from those throns and thistles"..Isaiah 65: 17; 22-23. The Holy Spirit equipped you for this word today! I'm sitting with that all week! Have a blessed day, Mr. Raynor!
Hi Jordan, I just started your Redeeming your time Bible study on the Bible app. It’s good to know it’s on RU-vid, putting a face to the words helps. So I’m also a busy dad to my 2 kids at home( jr high & HS) needing time to commit to getting in the word. My question is on your kindle or phone - I couldn’t understand what you said who you use for commentary? You spoke a little too fast. Can you tell me please so I can check it out. Thanks
Outstanding!! Humble about How. What a great reminder (or lesson) to submit our will and work to Him alone vs ourselves or others. This was jam packed with wisdom. Thx!
This is really good, helped me grow my faith in god and loving and praising him for who he is not what he can “do for me”, less me more god as it should’ve always been lol.
OOOOH what a series! The christian paradox of living is such a challenge but is only dealt with seeking God first! Starting with this devotional this certainly will be an incredible series.
"Biblcal understanding isn't nothing without a relationship with Chris"... It is so true but relevant to the body of Christ. Without true relationship with Jesus, how are you applying biblical principles? Thanks, Jordan, for this Godly insight.
Another on time scripture verse and insight along with this. I was just voted in and onto a board. Four wks we voted to terminate the executive director after hiring them 5 months earlier. I felt the hire was rushed, and the previous members wanted to fill a void. Thx you, Holy Spirirt, for sending Brotha Jordan with a spiritual word for the workplace!
You are missing the core action in the passage - to make disciples. Going. baptizing, and teaching support the making of disciples. Maybe you're confusing conversions with discipleship. Many churches are not making disciples, but simply looking for professions of faith. I made that error for many years. We need to have a great commitment to both the great commandment and the great commission. Please be like the Bereans of Acts 17:11 and search the scriptures - The great commission is the marching order of the church.
