As an old landscape photographer, I have come to realize that I have spent far too much time in my life trying to capture the beauty of God's creation, just to realize that it's no longer there... but in my thoughts of a world made new again. Thank you, Paster, for those thoughts of a creator who gave so much to save us from ourselves.
I was quite impressed with the video art in the 26th minute here. I took a few screenshots and hopefully I'll be able to use them in an upcoming video of my own on the 3 angel's messages.
I've always had this homesick feeling since I was a child. My heart aches for the beauty and perfection that was lost. Thank you, Jesus, for making a way for us to get back home. And thank you, Shawn Boonstra for an amazing show!
Here I raise my Eben Exercise, hither by thy help I've come, and I hope by thy good pleasure, safely to arrive at home 😂😢. There's that nagging longing in that song....
Thank you for sharing this, I do often feel this way at times and feel like no one around me really understands what humanity lost. Pleas pray for me to be strong in my faith thanks 🕊
I have become compelled to binge Athentic. The institefull way , with all the confirmed references, these questions are discussed have made me think and consider the true applications of the Bible in my daily life. I want to thank you. Also, i grew up knowing about 'The Voice of Prophecy ' but always consided it an 'old people's ' program. Im now more and more interested in watching and listening to their broadcast. Thank for opening my eyes to what you mussion really is.
I'm reminded of Isaiah. When we think about God and being in his presence we feel undone. But I'm glad that God sent his son Jesus to be our savior so that we may have eternal life.
16:53 "if you're examining the life of Christ. It's really a bit of a paradox, because the closer you get to the light, the worse you're gonna look. To study Jesus is to see yourself like you really are. There's no more deluding yourself, no more pretending that it's really not all that bad." That's how I've been feeling today. I've put so much stock in studying, and one little slip, and there I am, curled up in bed, knowing I'm never going to develop a Christ-like character. I'm never going to be good enough or fit for Heaven. I'm always going to be a disappointment to Him, begging daily for forgiveness, yet continuing to make the same stupid mistakes and following the same mindless patterns I always do. I can't seem to find a cure that doesn't contradict itself and it confuses me. Oh, I do long for Heaven and the New Earth. I do want to follow Jesus all over the universe, wherever He goes, like Mary Magdalene did. I never want to be apart from Him throughout eternity. But I mess up every week--every day. Oh, wretched (wo)man that I am! How will He ever save such a one as I? I can't stop failing Him. I fear I shall be the one He says, "Depart from Me, I never knew you!"
I often wonder about the beauty of the world pre sin. How we were created in a beautiful place now live in disgust. Now God has to be walking behind us with dust pan and cleaning rags to clean after us!😔
I recently read your book: The Appearing. I applaud it because I've gotten weary of the rapture theory. However, how do you explain the seventienth week as an unprecedented time of tribulation? I believe the worst is yet to come.
