Why Momentum Matters 

Vinaka bro!

Thanks Trudy!

You're right. Jesus enhances our lives. We are lost without him. Thanks for commenting!

@@mymomentumchurch help me understand. You said “You’re right. Jesus enhances our lives.” Please give me examples of how Jesus enhances our lives. I’m curious as to how you will answer.

Well, to start - we were dead in our trespasses and sin and he came and gave us life. That sounds like an enhancement.

@@mymomentumchurch what does “gave us life” mean?

@@lylemuegge5811 Hey, we are going to stop going back and forth with you in the RU-vid comments. Thanks for showing so much interest in our videos! RU-vid tells us that you are our number one fan!

That's exactly what Pastor Daniel does every week! Thanks for commenting!

@@mymomentumchurch I wish that were true but it isn't. I met with Pastor Daniel for almost 2 hours last year at the Sugar Land Starbucks. We discussed these things in depth. Does he warn people that they are enemies of God before they are saved? Does he warn them that they are sinners because they have broken God's law, the 10 commandments, and that the consequences for breaking those laws is hell? Does he tell them that the good news is that God did something wonderful so people do not have to go to hell, that being that Jesus paid the death penalty meant for us so that whosoever believes in Him will not perish but have everlasting life? My concern is that the message Pastor Daniel is preaching is "If your life is tough, if you've had problems and struggles, if your marriage or finances or relationships or your job is not going well then come to Jesus and He can fix it." Can Jesus fix those things? Absolutely!!! But should fixing those temporal struggles/problems be the MOTIVATION for coming to Jesus/receiving Jesus? Absolutely not! The motivation for coming to Jesus, for repenting and putting your trust in Jesus for salvation, should 100% be to escape the wrath of God to come in hell and then the lake of fire. Consider the warning Jesus in Matthew 10:28 where He said "And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell." Jesus said in Matthew 5:29 "If your right eye causes you to [a]sin, pluck it out and cast it from you; for it is more profitable for you that one of your members perish, than for your whole body to be cast into hell." Jesus is warning us of God's wrath to come. Jesus is telling us to repent and believe the gospel (that He died and rose again for the forgiveness of our sins) TO AVOID GOING TO HELL. Jesus spoke very often of hell as seen in those two verses and many others. Remember that 11 of 12 apostles died horrific deaths. They were beheaded, boiled alive, crucified, crucified upside down, speared to death, skinned alive, etc. Read Foxes Book of Martyrs. Those guys didn't follow Jesus and receive Jesus to enhance their lives. They did it because they believed that because of what Jesus did on the cross that they would inherit eternal life in heaven with Jesus for all eternity instead of going to hell for all eternity. When you listen to Pastor Daniel's sermons, ask youself this question "Is he telling me to trust in Jesus so the things in life will get better? Or is he telling me to repent and trust Jesus for salvation so that I do not go to hell when I die?" For a much better explanation of what I'm saying, read the book that you can download for free at www.freewonderfulbook.com

Hey Lyle, Pastor Daniel preaches out of the bible, not out of some ebook that you really like. It's concerning that you have to point to some book we can download for free when it comes to your theology instead of the bible. That might not be the best hermeneutic.

@@mymomentumchurch you didn’t take time to read that book, did you? If you will humble yourself and read the book you’ll find the my criticism is biblical.

@@lylemuegge5811 no, we didn't read the book. Again, if you need a book outside of the bible to prove your perspective, that might be a faulty doctrine. The word of God is sufficient.
