@@meriellen8913 I always say I'm not religious but know and love the Lord Jesus. Too many westerners call themselves "Christian"_ even the Luciferian Masonic leaders, like our British Prime Minister and Queen!
I’ve been a Christian for many years, and you just refreshed my spirit, brother, and given me a fresh hunger to know the Lord more deeply. God bless you and your dear family.
I admire your simple, down to earth and faithful life. No spoiling kids with video games and electronic gadgets. Basic, pure childhood like I had 60 yrs ago. books, trees, outdoors wild and free, wood everywhere in the home...beautiful staircase brings nature indoors. This edifies children to connect with the order in nature, given by God. Playing devotional music as a family. Best lifestyle, ever!
That is a sign of a true christian character alone, simple life how to raise kids as I read the story of the early christians the pilgrims father's, quakers, memmonites, the Anabaptist etc. I salute them. May the Almighty God bless you
And to be honest there are missing out on nothing by having internet because social media is gross and disgusting that to be with nature is the best thing anyone can do. God bless them.
Its so sad that these children have never gotten to spend untold amounts of time playing video games and being on social media and watching funny cartoons with subliminal adult content and worst of all they are having a learn about Jesus and His Salvation and the idea of living forever… how on earth will these kids ever survive without knowing how to fight and play video games and watch anime??? It’s just a shame that they are running free in the fresh air and then they have family worship…. So different from the rest of the world…. Wait…. Maybe I’m the one that is mistaken and maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that the problem with this world begins with a toddler being plopped down in front of a screen and are kept quiet by the entertainment set before them and their brain patterns are completely manipulated by the video/tv screen and then they are programmed into needing to be stimulated from their tv screen…. Today’s kids have been destroyed by social media and there’s no going back. They couldn’t care less about music or playing an instrument bcuz it’s easier to just watch a screen and eat junk food and soda while they’re medicated into behavior compliance
Exactly! Their kids are not missing anything! They are gaining a chance to know Jesus the Christ as their personal Messiah, Lord & King! Amen to their lifestyle.
True, you can have football as a religion, worshipping your favourite player, religiously going to every game, buying all the mechandise colours etc. Reading up on all the player stats, learning all the chants... If only they were that passionate about Jesus, The one who created them and redeemed them.
The relationship with God IS A RELIGION, no matter how much some people try to avoid it. If you check a dictionary, religion means a set of beliefs about God, a way of worship, a worldview, teachings, rules, principles to live by etc. Those who follow the teachings of Christ are called Christians.
@@robert123ro I meant it’s not _ just_ a religion. It’s not ritual. It’s not man’s traditions. It’s a personal relationship. And I’m sure most people know just what I mean.
I think you look like a very sweet family. Your relationship with Jesus is evident and you don’t need to label it.. you’re a blessing to anyone who listens to your family sing!
I liked your opinion. I’m almost 63, I grew up Catholic but I haven’t identified as one since I started reading the Bible 5 years ago, I Love the Lord God Jesus more than the Catholic religion asked of me.
@@Angie-hi5bt Dear friend in Christ, as a Christian I wouldn't speak like that of my brothers in Christ whichever denomination they belong to. I'm a Catholic Italian man and I don't think we are the synagogue of devil! Christ's Church is the living Body of Jesus and God's people all over the world regardless of the various denominations or confessions. "That they all may be one" (John 17: 21), this is the not yet fulfilled prayer of our Lord Jesus to the Father. I'd feel ashamed to judge so bad my Christian brothers belonging to other Churches or confessions: it would be like judging God's will that we are one Church in His beloved Son! I use to hear the inspired songs of this wonderful Christian family and I give thanks to the Almighty God for them and for their bright testimony for Jesus! I have no interest in their confessional belonging: for me they are brothers in Christ who give a beautiful testimony for Him, and that is all!. Their songs (a lot of them are very popular in our communities too) gladden my spirit and let me worship the Majesty of God and the incredible greatness of His love manifested towards us in Jesus our Lord! In many of them I find splendid verses and words of the Bible I use to read and to pray every day. Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ who gives us His Holy Spirit and frees us from our prejudice, hostility and makes us one people in him:" For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility ..." (Ephesians 2: 14). God bless you all!
I’m a born again believer and I’m backsliden, lost and confused. Would you pray for me? Life has gotten so difficult and hopeless without Jesus in my life. I tried things my way and it does NOT work! I want to go back to attending church weekly and find a home group too. Please pray that God will lead me to both and move all obstacles. Thank you 😊
Well, I agree with you, but in reality, that's not different than saying "I'm a Baptist or a Presbyterian, etc" because choosing no denomination IS a choice, and all those who choose that certainly don't believe the same or follow Christ the same way. If you're honest, you just develop your own set of values, sense of right and wrong, the way you pray and "practice" your relationship with God. So essentially, you are a "denomination." 😉
I live up in Canada, I come from Southern Alberta, my ancestry on my Dad side is Mennonite. I don’t know much about my mom side, only fact I do know is they were Catholic. I no longer go to a Catholic Church, I do attend evangelical church. My sister and I watch online from home now because of Covid. When I saw the area in which you live which is your land and where your home sits and you’re out in the woods, I figured you were probably either in Idaho or the state of Washington but now I see you live further south. You have such a sweet family, so happy to have found you on RU-vid it’s Christian-based. Most people are into more heavier upbeat music I prefer your music that’s calm soothing and so genuine. I love the name, It sounds like Reign.
Hi walking 🚶♀️ in faith, I am faith in Christ also living in Toronto,Canada I love that you enjoy their calming songs and that is honestly GOD’swill. I see how meek, lowly and gentle, humble his wife looks such a calm spirit. She looks holy and beautiful in her natural state. I love to see women in their most natural state.
Thank you so much Sir. I do appreciate you sharing snippets of your life, and reminding us to commence by being humble. I needed to hear this today. May our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, continue to bless your family, your ministry, and the work of your hands.
If you’re going to focus on Yahshua (Jesus), then you would walk as He walked which was following Torah and the set apart days perfectly. We cannot be perfect as He was but we can do our best to please Our Heavenly Father by obeying Him which also shows our love for Him. The Sabbath is the 7th day and it was sanctified from creation. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Be blessed.
@Konstantin Ridaya Yep, you sorrow filled alright. Matthew 7:23 " “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!ʼ1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15." 1 John 2:3 " And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.1 Footnote: 1See 3:6." 1 John 2:4 " The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. "
@Little Mary You speak some truth. But why do you call anyone paster same as the Catholics call them father? Call no man "Pastor" Mat 23:9 - And call no man your father (G3962-patēr) upon the earth: for one is your Father, (G3962-patēr) which is in heaven. Strong's G3962 - patēr πατήρ The word pastor comes from the Greek word pater' It is found in the following verse. Matthew 23:8-12 " “But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi,ʼ for One is your Teacher, the Messiah, and you are all brothers. " " “And do not call anyone on earth your 👉father(G3962-patēr)👈, for One is your Father(G3962-patēr), He who is in the heavens. " " “Neither be called leaders, for One is your Leader, the Messiah. " “But the greatest among you shall be your servant. " “And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. " Now if we check out what the Strong's definition has to say about this word we can see possibly why Messiah instructed us to NOT proclaim this word upon anyone in regards to being our ______! Strong's: G3962 - patēr G3962 - πατήρ (metaphysical: .... one who has infused his own spirit into others, who actuates and governs their minds) Esentially it is christianities way of deceiving the people into doing as the Catholics do and have their assembly members call their leader their father/pater/pastor and unknowingly submit their spiritual authority to him! I share this in love, for those whom it has been appointed. Shalom,
@Little Mary Shalom again, Time is short. Why do you yet promote the idolatrus image of the symbol of Baal on your picture? ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pSK5GYUOB5I.html
Amen brother. I grew up Catholic, but through Jesus, I’ve experienced wonderful fellowship with Baptist’s, Presbyterians, and many others and I too am grateful for the Jewish roots of our faith and our savior!
7Steveski same here! I experienced true freedom in Christ and ALL the explanations I had zillions of questions about. So different than the Catholic Church.
Jesus said I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. John the Baptist. God gave John the name of Baptist. True Baptist are the true church, and the Bible back this up. All other denominations are man-made.
Jesus said if you love me keep my Commandments. Jesus said not to forsake the assembling of yourselves together in church. So you can’t have a good relationship with Jesus without obedience.
Forgiveness by the blood of Christ unto atonement ! The key word is, Redemption! Being in LOVE with Christ! Not saying, I love Christ! That's like saying; I love ice cream, I love my cat. I love, __________ fill in the blank!
I loved when he said "Our father God is not interested in religion. He is interested in relationship...."... Such beautiful words.... It's true that God is there for all, for every single creation.... Only we perceive and pray/worship in different manners based on our individual culture and faith.... God, The Omnipotent never changes with culture or religion, what changes is our perception of God... I think it's as simple as that... May God bless everyone...
So so true all about our relationship with Jesus Christ..so sad people get hung up on religion or what denomination they are..your family singing together lifts me up so much I can see Jesus so much in you all..I would love to live how you do..God bless you all
@thats buck- Mmh! Did not the disciple Peter carry a sword with him and cut off the Roman soldier's ear, at the Garden of Gethsemane? How many other disciples carried swords with them? Do you think Jesus' disciples looked like disciples, as they carried weapons?
@thats buck - Thank you for your response. I agree with you. But I am also intrigued: 'He [Jesus] said to them, "But now if you have a purse, take it, and also a bag; and if you don't have a sword, sell your cloak and buy one.' (Luke 22:36). I wonder if the disciples are portrayed accurately. Eg; I wonder if they all carried a sword with them.
@@petergregoric1019 no but sons of God is mentioned, that's a relationship isn't it? we are sons of God by faith, which means you can't lose your salvation because God doesn't do abortions.
@@freegracetoronto3876 Amen, salvation is by faith alone and can't be lost. What I'm trying to say is that the idea of having a 'relationship' is a fraud because it's not found in scripture. Plus it's a very hazy term, and can be defined multiple ways by different people. We should use the words that the holy ghost teacheth.
Found your channel today 4 years to the date of this video and this is exactly what I was praying for, that people could find the real Jesus and have a relationship with him. A life just following Jesus like a child and doing what he wants from us because it's for our own good.
I want to thank you both. I first discovered your music from the video " Give me Jesus " and now sing that song while walking my dogs in Ashland Ohio. I have alot of Amish neighbors and don't think you have an Amish family. What is obvious is your families Love for the LORD. GOD picked the youngest Shepard boy to be King of his people because of his Heart. Heaven will be filled with people from all over the world that have ❤️ Hearts full of Love for the LORD !!! All Praise my KING JESUS . Peace and Love to your whole family my brother. Thanks William ☀️
@@pth6060 Yes I am, I don't see where not believing in denominations would put my salvation into question (sorry if I am misunderstanding you) . I go to a Baptist church mainly because they read KJV which I am convicted about after some study, actually when I got saved I was drawn to the KJV, I believe through the Holy Spirit. I just don't like the idea of Christians labeling themselves after a certain doctrine basically, we who are saved are following Jesus. I could have a wrong idea but that's where I am at
I don't believe in denominations neither but I believe in the right doctrine which is the doctrine Jesus Christ preached which was given to Him by The Father. Only through The Son is their salvation otherwise it's of the devil. Jesus came to put division among us because through division we know who' s truly believes and who is pretending to be a believer. You can't claim to be good while your actions prove you're bad. Christ wants clarity.
@@1hverniz Good works should follow salvation and what believers already saved by faith alone in Christ alone are appointed unto having the Holy Spirit taking up residence. Consequence of a salvation already received and in no way a cause or contributing factor. The justification and guarantee of eternal life takes place before any subsequent good works are carried out. They are a matter of reasonable service, part of progressive practical sanctification (not positional) and which rewards at the Bema seat will be based upon. It's not both faith and works that save the sinner but faith in what Jesus has perfectly done on their behalf through His death, burial and resurrection. We receive the Lord Jesus first, then walk in Him thereafter.
@@1hverniz Still a consequence rather than a cause or fruit rather than the root. Faith without works accompanying is dead in terms of any witnessing impact and just won't make any favorable impression or commend Christ to others, especially those in need and likely to turn them off. That's what the verse is really saying. I'm not saying by any stretch that good works aren't important and should naturally flow without a second thought by those whose hearts have been touched by Grace and made new in Christ. It's just that they don't come into the equation as far as receipt of salvation is concerned. Not seeking an argument either but to give clarity and right division so the Gospel is not confused and obfuscated. Much blessing to you.
I am from Amish descent, Even though plain looking, I can tell you’re not Amish, For starters, Amish men shave their mustaches, nor would they ever wear checkered clothing. But I do enjoy your video, and applaud the salvation message you bring... God Bless.
I wondered if they were Amish too, I'm not from America so I don't really know exactly what the Amish look like. Just that their clothes look very plain, modest... like something you would expect people to have worn a couple of hundred years ago. No makeup etc.
Thank you! You don’t need to say much. Your actions, the way you live, the way you love Lindsay and your children show you are a follower of Christ! God bless you my brother in Christ Jesus. ❤️🌺
This video is so full of wonderful information for having a heart for the Lord. If more people followed channels like this, I think their hearts would be encouraged, and they would understand the joy that comes from following the Lord.
Brackin, that was really a great message! I loved where you said our Lord isn't worried about religion (i.e. Denominations), but relationships. That is really the core!
Yes it is. Of course, in order to have a deep, long-lasting relationship with someone (our Father God included) we want to know more and more about Him each day. And as we have learned more about Jesus, we are compelled by everything He taught - ranging from love, forgiveness, marriage, money, and everything else in between. His way - the way of the Cross - is worthy of our all! Blessings :)

I love how comfortable you are in being different as followers of Christ. It’s refreshing and something I want to have. I’m a Christian, but I think too much about what others think of me and it doesn’t make me happy or feel fulfilled. I realize that true joy and contentment comes from knowing Christ and being in Him, which is my desire. I really want to seek God and have His heart. :)
I agree with you 100%. I consider myself a Christian who worships in a Baptist Church but I do not consider myself to be a Baptist. I believe people get hung up on denominations. Thank you for this video❤
Love this. My husband and I have been coming out of a denomination and we now consider ourselves as followers of Yeshua Hameshiach, not of a religion. But a personal relationship with the Creator. The Lord's blessings on you all and so glad to find this channel!
This is the first video I’ve watched on your RU-vid channel and I could feel the presence of God in a way I’ve not felt in a very long time. God bless you and your family. 🕊🙏❤️
There is a lovely discussion going on the comments. Everyone that watches your videos are so positive and it is so refreshing. I look foreard to your videos as they are encouraging. You help to remind us of what is truly important.
Hello Deborah. I am pleasantly surprise at how civil everyone is :) We want to be simple, transparent and unwavering in our pursuit of Jesus and His Kingdom Way. Thanks for chiming in!
I thought the same. Ex-atheist here by the grace of God. It gives me hope because part of my falling away were false Christians. I realize now though, they are not all the same as mainstream media and others paint us out to be. I encourage you to keep searching 🙂
Am from India. Great to know you guys. You do a wonderful ministry with music and being so faithful to Jesus. Blessed family. Let you be God's blessing to many around the world.
Thank you for your prayers. Now we have moved from India to Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Praise be to God. One day we will come and meet the Sounds like Reign family.
How do you guys still exist in a world like this. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. Give us lady so much hope. It is incredibly peaceful to watch you guys.
I love what you bring to the table … I am a 7th day adventist christian and I enjoyed your post as well as the family singing … I was a single mother rearing kiddos when young and your family reminds me of playing the guitar and singing with my children 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Just came across this family ministry …. I’m also 7th day Adventist … also don’t like the labels or religion… but the face that we are followers of Jesus living according to the bible
I too have embraced the Seventh Day Adventist religion. I love being an SDA because truth, wholistic truth is presented. The same truths presented in this video by Brackin. Yes it's relationship that our Lord desires. Thank yuu so much for your presentations. So happy discovered them.
Folks, please please please don't turn this into a reality tv show on mainstream cable programming. This is a good platform to follow you guys. Thank you for being authentic and just a breath of fresh air. You are a loving family that is committed to God.
You have a Beautiful family. We’re Messianic ( I’m ancestrally Jewish - but follow Y’shua of Nazareth). Looking forward to watching your videos… always enjoy getting to know eternal mischpocha (family). May Abba bless and keep you all close. Joshua-
Many years ago when my dear husband Peter was still alive we used to watch films about Amish people, absolutely loving that life style. You do look Amish.....Never mind I love your singing and I love Jesus as I do in my imperfect way and my son Matthew loves Jesus.... We have love for Jesus in common......God bless you
Every domination What say they just believe the Bible. Which is what these people are saying. Basically claiming no denomination. So the name of their denomination is nondenominational. It’s still the same. I know what you’re saying.
The name of their denomination is called non-denomination. Because they just believe the Bible right? Which is what every denomination will tell you they believe.
Anny B What you said is totaly true, but we're still on planet Earth, in a material body and our minds in order to process and elaborate need to make classifications of the reality. The reality is that protestants in 500 years have split up in over 30 000 denominations most of which present and made in America. I'm not a fundamentalist that belives that only members of my denomination shall reach heaven, but the doctrine is important since the way we pray, act, live, think, talk, choices that we make is all expression of the faith we put in what we believe, so we always end up on the doctrine wether we like it or not, wether we wanna call it that way or not. I don't like this video since it's statements are too generic: they underline the importance of the gospel and describe cristianity as a religion of relationship, which are basic facts on which protestants, orthodox and catholocs could all agree, we even learn that much at history class in public school when christianity is mentioned, becouse that's what makes it different from all other religions that on the other hanf spread ideologies or filosophical thinking, so basicly in this video they tell you all and nothing. Isn't that what cults also do? The illusion of transparency and full picture? I don't know if you can help me, but I hope somebody that reads me can. I'm European and in Europe we mostly have protestant churches of the first or second Reform and mostly only Evangelical pentecostals (gerarchicly well organized), so it's definitely "another world" in terms of denominations and their concentration in the various countries. I realy don't get the non-denominational. Are there Churches that are non-denominational? What's their basic creed? I don't know how to classify them. I've seen only one non-denominational ministry made in USA trying to strive in Italy, but they deliberately avoid that term there, rather define themselves interconfessional (on Italian web site, not the american), but if you're a Catholic, Orthodox or of protestant church that baptised you as a baby, after a while, they propose you to get baptised in order to get full membership and convince you that you're not even aposthasing your old faith and that you can be both, even encourage you to go where ever you feel like going, so you spend your life in some sort of self centered religiouse touring where ever your subjective personal quests and interpretations lead you, instead of putting rooths, growing, blooming and bringing fruit where the good Lord planted you, in some sort of service or ministry for others and their only "good deed" becomes seeking (becides own wellness) for other proselites (something like jehova's witness, but without door to door). They don't define themselves like church, but function like a real congregation, they do a lot of formation (bible study, questionable indoctrinations, more or less biblical, they inglobe some Pentecostal dinamics), I did some reasearch and found out their ministry roots are in some mega church of Miami that is so very much denominational! So, my questions are: 1) Are there non-denominational churches? 2) If there are what do they believe? 3) Are they all like I mentioned before about that ministry? Or is it just a sneaky way of "fishing" confused, disappointed, unsattisfied, immature or lukewarm christians from other congregations, since it's easier than bringing the gospel to atheists and people of other religions, or is it just a simplfying reaction of portions of christian society too imbaressed and confused when it looks at unending denominations it keeps producing so they decided one day to and it all by making another diy that fits me better church!? Help me understand.
Hey dear family,this is Ronaldo from Brasil São Paulo. I would like to say that I really enjoy and worship God with you guys through RU-vid. I believe in Jesus Christ as my savior nas Lord. Thank you so much for the beautiful and lovable worship to God. May God bless you richly. Love in Christ, Roni
Sou do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro. Tenho essa curiosidade, essa família é Amish ? Pra mim, tanto faz, gosto dos hinos, sei que o Senhor Deus está sendo louvado. Não sei inglês, então minha curiosidade continua. Alguém pode responder ??
I am a hindu but love jesus I believe jesus is not only for Christians but for everyone who loves him he is a good book that changes ur life only for good I am happy about being hindu I was not say know to follow jesus any hindu can go to church and celebrate Christmas we follow jesus only because we love him with all our heart even when I think about him makes me happy love love love him
I actually know a lot of Amish who don't look, dress or act like the ones in the book he showed. But they are beautiful women who wear simple calico dresses, white tennis shoes and a small cap. They are friendly and outgoing, very much a part of our town. They have a restaurant and make wonderful pies for sale. However, there are Amish people in the farm area Iive in who are very much old fashioned. We have a Thanksgiving supper I'm our small community of about 100 people. 1 year they were invited to celebrate with us. The women sat with the babies in one room, them men and teens in the other and never once spoke to any of the rest of us. They would nod politely if you spoke to them, but if you tried to have a conversation, they'd walk away. So I'm curious how they think they are being like Christ? Why did they come be with us if they didn't want to be with us? It hurts me to think this is their way of being like Christ.
@@myothergem Most women who believe in wearing head coverings do so to show submission to their husbands & to Yahweh. Being submissive to your husband is commanded in scripture. See Ephesians 5:22-33. The Bible also speaks of women covering their heads. See 1 Corinthians chapter 11.
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 1Corinthians 11:14-15.
Oh my goodness I came across your video a few minutes ago and I am in tears because of the simplicity of The Gospel of Jesus Christ. 😭😭Holy Spirit flood my soul with Your love and purity that I may reach who ever you place in my path of life on earth Thank you Father God for Your goodness towards the children of me. Hallelujah Jesus
I love the simplicity of your message. You’re all a beautiful family and I see Christ living through you all. I enjoy your videos and your kids are precious. God bless you all.
I am not a Christian, but I found your words to be both thoughtful and beautiful. There is certainly much to be learned from the life and teachings of Jesus - for anyone. Relationships, not religion. Indeed.
Yes from the beginning it was always about relationships. Starting with Adam and Eve God has set out relationship with us. That's why Jesus had disciples but also friends. This separates the Lord from all the other god's in this world.
The point your missing is that to be a Christian just means to be "Christ-like". This couple is very 'Christ-like". If you don't want to be identified with the "church", then understand, we can not be disconnected from the Head of the Church which is Jesus. Therefore, we are to be Christ-like, or Christian, by orientation and never be ashamed of the Gospel or the people (the Church) that are being Christ-like. So, calling yourself a Christian, is not a religion. God is the only God that sought us out. He came to us. He took on our sins and forgave us. Creating small groups and isolation has never helped anyone. It becomes, many times, nostic and self-righteous and they think they are the 'only' ones that are in control of reality. My family was Amish. But it's like my grandfader said, years ago, when he left the Amish with his entire family, to become a preacher and 'share' Christ with others (the Amish can not do this)..."You can leave the Amish in two ways, either through death or through life, and, I left through life and once I read an actual Bible from cover to cover, I found Jesus! I was baptized in Jesus Name and through "The Great Commission" I went out and shared the Love Jesus asked me to share in His Holy Name, giving Glory to the Son so that the Father may be proud of us both." I have photos of my grandfader baptizing men and women in the White River in Indy. My grandmother became a preacher as well, sharing Jesus with everyone she met; if just with a smile! Once you find the love and forgiveness of the one true Jesus, you will never be ashamed of your Faith. It's too real, honest, lovely, kind, and passionate, to be ashamed of it. I am Christ-like. I am a sinner, fogiven. I am living in the 'end of days' and yet in the time of Jubilee! I am a Christian and I am not ashamed to say so. I am a minister, carrying on my grandparents legacy around the globe. Today, we baptize in a pool or a local lake. But we still make hospital visits and home visits, just as my grandparents did in their day. Our children, there are 8, share the Gospel around the world, and mostly in refugee camps in Turkey, Greece, Egypt, and such...we have 8 grandbabes...most conceived in the Middle East. We go where most missionaries are afraid to go. We've been robbed, told to leave countries, escorted off tarmacs under fire, and even shared beds with our born enemies who came to Christ only days before! I've seen my grandchildren warm up a brain-washed Islamic child to hold their hands and playing ball a few hours later, releasing that child from fear of Christians/Westerners, whom they are taught to hate/kill. I've witnessed first hand, the light in an eye that Jesus brings, once the ignorance of hate-led grouping, has left their minds. It's a revelation to each individual. It's their own path to take with God. It's a peace they say they have never felt before. "You just know," they will say, talking about knowing who Jesus is to them now. They become so truthful within, that they are willing to DIE to say they know Jesus, to be able to freely say, "they are Christian". They would say to you now, "Don't be ashamed of being a Christian (or an Apostate=Muslim turned Christian, now an infidel). They risk EVERYTHING they have to share the Gospel with other Muslims. That risk to death factor, becomes so great, it takes much courage to say it in public. The Discipled were martyred for their rights to believe and share...and to be called Christians. So, don't throw these martyrs, under the bus by denying Christ and being called a Christian. Amen?! They died then and ppl are dying today, across the nations, sharing Jesus, so that you can share Christ as a "Christian' as well. Here is one testamony that you may want to hear to help you understand Christian term better, "Kamal Saleem .. A Muslim Cries Out to Jesus" on CBN online. I think it will open the eyes of those who want to understand the goals of destruction of other groups...and how Christ moved them into a new direction...just as my grandfader was moved. Just as I and many others were moved. Blessings. Dr Janie Pendleton. If you want to learn more, my channel, "Our Little Homestead" shares the 'science' that backs the Bible; mathematics and nuclear Fusion, if you want to go even deeper and learn about the Truth behind Fractals behind an Infinite Mind that is transmuted into a finite reality/Creation that we view all around us. We teach that DNA=Informational Code = the Spoken Word (Jesus) is the glue that holds us all together. The yearning to learn the answers that most ministers can not or won't answer, where they say, "Just have faith" is a farce. As scientists, we know today's ministers are not trained in the science of Creation. We teach ministers and others that science. Best wishes.
By the way, Muslims like most religions have NO PROBLEM calling us Christians or Jewish Peoples, Jews! Why? It's a cultural Jihad they are taught to wage war upon..."their 'hand' will 'glow' in front of the throne of Allah"..if they have killed one of us, they are taught this, to kill anyone not like them. Why would satan do this? To stifle the Truth of the Love of Jesus. Satan knows in the end, many Jews will come to Christ in the end of days. Revelation covers this fact. Satan and his demons are aged old. They know who was who and they do know the names of those 'marked' by the Blood of the Lamb (Christians). When they hear us cry out and find out God answers us...they start asking questions. They call upon the Father Abraham...the Father of Jacob...and they call out to God...and get their answers. He fills the rooms with Glory. They see this. "Who are you Lord," they ask. "I am the Alpha and Omega and I know you, rise up! You are MY warrior, not their warrior!" Giving your life to Jesus, is questioning your allegience to Satan. Freedom is in God. Freedom is not free! Christians experience, NOTHING TO LOSE. We know our ends are now a peaceful eternity with God the Father. Once a Muslim realizes this, they too will LIVE for Jesus, not "DIE" for the cause unless they are killed at the hands of those who praise Satan's works/world. It's no longer doing God a favor to kill others, but it's a blessing to save them for eternity. All peoples get the promise.
Blessings My wife's mother's family were German Jews who converted to Mennonite during WW2. We attended a Mennonite Church until recently. I am now where you are as far as fellowship. Making our way out of the institution. I soooo appreciated this video. ❤🙏🏼
Well, I have news for your wife that she is STILL a Jew and all the kids are Jews as they are born to a Jewish mother. But as an Ashkenazi Jew myself, I will say that whatever believe you have is fine so long as it does not involved maligning anybody in the process. I'm not religious myself however I will say that God really doesn't give a shit what anybody believes. All God wants (at least according to our Jewish tradition) is that you be a good and charitable person.
@Lagolop And God is pure and holy and we all fall short of his glory and he wouldn’t agree with you that “he doesn’t give a s***” because he doesn’t have a filthy mouth and on the contrary he is very concerned with what people believe because he gave them the truth and many reject the truth to their own destruction. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life and no one goes to the Father except through him...because none are good but God so no one can approach him but through Christ only. That’s the truth God gave freely, and rejecting the truth only destroys the soul. We can’t approach God without Christ but God can surely approach us and when he does it’ll be judgment day and you don’t want to be approached by God naked without Christ.
I greatly appreciate your words of wisdom, and I know it's coming from the spirit of God guiding you in the words you share with others. Sometimes I have a hard time explaining what I believe to people when they ask me why God would allow suffering, poverty, and death to innocent children. I have to ask the Lord to help me in times like those to give an answer that is truthful, but also an answer of love, and compassion. Sometimes I don't have all the answers, and none of us can claim to know the reasons why to every question asked, but I know I am a better person with Lord Yeshua in my life. I'm disabled (I had a spinal injury at the age of 25, and I'm in a lot of pain everyday), don't have an income, and I'm a single woman, but yet I know I am extremely blessed, because my parents allow me to live with them. I do wish to get married someday, but for now, I'm grateful that the Lord has blessed me with parents that love me, and are willing to help me. So, I'm so happy to see other Christian's sharing their faith online, because it seems there aren't as many of us left in the world. God bless, and I hope the Lord continues to bless your beautiful family!
My life and favorite verse is: Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Am a Seventh-Day Adventist, but I admire your humble/powerful faith/believe. If you don't mind, can you explain to me what your views are regarding creation and the 7th day Sabbath. Greatful for any answers, God Bless 🙏🏽
Hey. Though your question wasn't directed to me. I'll love to give my view. One man esteemeth one day above another: another esteemeth every day alike. Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind. He that regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the Lord; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the Lord, for he giveth God thanks; and he that eateth not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. Romans 14:5-6 KJV bible.com/bible/1/rom.14.5-6.KJV
@@joyo.a.1222 hi Joy. You do understand that Paul was referring to feast days and the ceremonial laws that MOSES wrote right ?? Jesus came to fulfill the ceremonial laws such as feast days, sabbaths (plural) and the whole sanctuary service. Why did he fulfill all those laws.... because he is the lamb that was slain for you and me....he did a away with all Moses laws. God's laws ie the 10 commandments are still Binding. If you love me, keep my commandments. ALL of them, not just the ones that are easy to keep but ALL of them. Including the fourth... REMEMBER the sABBAth day to to keep it holy....
@@jasonsardie8085 Well, I've been attending church my whole life on Sunday. Someone spoke about Saturday (Which hasn't been stated anywhere in the bible) as the Sabbath day, I prayed about it and this is what the holy spirit directed me to. I had actually never read this scripture deeply before and I do believe in the guidance of the holy spirit. So to me whether one regards Saturday as the Sabbath or Sunday I have no say on it because it's God we're serving not man. Thanks for your insight though.
@@joyo.a.1222 absolutely agree we serve God. Unfortunately there are far too many made traditions in many churches and religions. We aim for relationships. You are correct Saturday is not mentioned in the Bible at all. It is called the seventh day. First day of the week is Sunday. Many calendars now even list Sunday as the first day of the week and the week ends at Saturday. The Jews have kept the day count since the days of Christ. It was a count down till their beloved sABBAth. Note even ABBA father is in the Sabbath. If you google the dictionary for Saturday it will tell you the seventh day. If you google Sunday it will tell you it is the first day of the week. If you google who changed God's seventh day Sabbath to Sunday you will find the the papacy changed it to show their power OVER God on earth. It is interesting stuff. It is what led me to seek God's word more and more deeply. Blessings Jason.
@@jasonsardie8085 Wow, just after your comment saw a video by THE BEAT by Allen Parr. I want you to check it out. He talks about evangelicals and seventh day Adventist to. Check it out and see.
Brilliant message the relationship not the religion and that my brother is the universal link to the bridge of Unity, the Church is in the people in there 💓 God Bless
somewhere I read that Jesus said something like "you'll not find the Creator in building's of sticks or stone but in the hearts of humankind " ! lovely accepting advice for us!
God has written His law on our hearts so that we are without excuse to know and follow Him. Jesus shows us the only Way to our Father God which is in complete abandonment to self and complete trust in His precious blood. Take care Nanna :)
You'll remind me very much of the Walton Mountain TV, loving, caring, and still not sparing every moment in praising God our Redeemer, love you'll much..
