hmm i guess there is a point missing in here...people die early...cuz if not, than everytime Jesus raised the death he came against the will of God, cuz those people who Jesus raised, did not die early??? ;-)
@randomkid77 Jesus rose the dead as a foreshadow of the dead being raised to life when Christ comes back. Everything Christ does is in context..he just did not raise dead people for raising dead people sakes...Everything he does points to the Glory of God in his redemptive work.
@rajecks We need to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit who might want us to heal the sick or raise the dead, not boxing Him into some safe unbiblical theology cos we have no faith..
@randomkid77 I understand what you mean....I'm not here to tell you what is unbiblical and what is biblical....However if you do not know that Gods gifts and blessings are not an end in itself but to point one to the ultimate gift which is God himself..then i don't know what else to say. True faith is believing that God loves you so much that he will do what is best for you....I believe in healing but healing itself makes no sense if they don't point you to Christ..
I believe if you "ARE" walking according to God's Word, and Living by The Spirit- that this clip is 100% great and I want to share. But those who search the scriptures will come to me with the question of 1 Corinthians 11:28-31? And I will admit this is speaking of those who claim Christ. But in all honesty, I think I understand where my brother is coming from, and The Lord keeping him here. Because once I am no longer salt and light on this earth; I wish to go too. But only, God can do such!
"The ravings of a madman.."! As Henry Martyn put it, you need "more grace than this chair" to understand this! To put it on the same lines..How in the world did you get your family? How about your own self, for that matter? How much say did you have in all that??!!! and in actuality, does any 'raving' of any sort put you in advantage of whatever takes place in your life? We need to give serious thought... Let us learn also to question the reason for our blessings too, when we so do our woes!
The ravings of a madman. It is such a wicked thing for your god to demand that you love him even more than your own families. That is the ultimate in slavery.
@rleeermy I understand why you might think that. Please hear me out though. What happens when you make your wife and/or kids ultimate is you end up crushing them under a weight that they cannot bare. Observe people. Everybody has someone or something that they ascribe the status of "ultimate" to. This "ultimate" is usually either you, a person(s) or some ideology. Now when your ultimate allegiance is to the Lord, you will be able to love others instead of crushing them under an "ultimate" weight
@rleeermy But everybody is a slave....either a slave of righteousness (in Christ) or a slave of sin.....How is that wicked¿ HE is the one who gave them to you!
@rleeermy Lol...I guess in that case you can stop death? The ultimate fact that we control nothing is the truth that we all DIE and when? we do not know...Since no body owns you...I'm guessing you can tell death when and how you want to go? Matter of fact..you probably have told death not to bother coming for you....i'm just saying.
@rajecks I know that it is true for all of us that the end is only ever a breath away. Just like every other living organism that ever was. I have no problem accepting the fact that when I die I will cease to exist. The only reason this life means anything is because it is short, and it is the only one we have.
Brethrens pray for your children that God may grab a hold of them(Save them) at an early age and that they may be obedient to Gods Word and also their parents.
The Music.....Less Music please!! Everyone who make a vid like this does a good thing but please please please please lower the music. it is to compliment not take a way and distract.
Just becasue you die doesn't mean your work for the kingdom is done. I had a friend that died at the age of 19. I believe that most of his work for the kingdom will/was done after his death. He impacted so many people!

This logic applied to severely malformed infants suggests, that their "work for the kingdom" is to live short, miserable lives and die in agony.
How arrogant and wicked is to think, that you were, for some unfathomable reason, favored by god, provided with a grand mission, wife, children, whilst others were ordained to a few minutes or hours of torturous existence?
This message spoke to me. If you loose someone who has been a good and faithful servant, how selfish are we to wish they would stay while we finish our work? They completed their task! How about we finish our tasks until it's time for us to see them again?
"Men at some time are masters of their fates: The fault, dear Brutus, is not in our stars, but in ourselves that we are underlings." Shakespeare, Julius Caesar, Act I, scene ii.
The majority of people I see in the hospital and on rehab units were not wearing a helmet or a seat belt. It was a decision they made and that's what put them in the hospital or the morgue. Chronic illnesses and the premature deaths that go with them can all be linked to lifestyle habits.
@97chickennugget This pastor has brain cancer. Try to understand the context in which he said this things and then come back and say how he could "master his own fate".
In the beggining of /watch?v=95ds7N8DqhI he explain a bit about it.

"If my work for the Kingdom is over.." Wow, this guy needs to pick up a Bible and read it.
Yeshua said that we are to pray that the Father send laborers out into the field, because the harvest is plenty, but the laborers are few.
Our work for the Kingdom is never over. There will always be more work until the King returns.

@FoodMoTron3k O really? Then in that Context the Apostle Paul should pretty much still be here with us.

this tends to slip into fatalism.
if you refuse to wear a seat belt and have a crash and die as a result then you bought it on yourself and will reap what you sowed.
Of course God knew this and factored it in to whatever equation he has for it, so to speak.
but we dont know when our time is, if we ignore due precaution our time will be sooner than if we did not.
fatalism (look it up) is irrational as it fails to account for human free will
