If ye do not forgive neither will your father in heaven forgive you. Forgiveness is not optional in Christianity.. it is required.
Now to the video.. I am not a great fan of southern gospel music. I am a contemporary worship leader... that said.. I can tell you ..this one comes straight from the throne room of God.. Its a great song...
I love Michael English. I am so glad that he's been restored. God's love is mighty to forgive...aren't we all glad?? I know I need forgiveness. Praise God the King is Coming one day soon. And in my opinion,it's closer than we think!!
i clapped and shouted when i watched this - i just love how certain members of the choir allow the holy spirit to move through them and they can't help but lift their hands in praise to the lord of all creation! PRAISE GOD!
Michael is a "broken vessel" full of humility, and the Father will use him to the fullest because his heart is open. I've never seen anyone more full of the gentle Holy Spirit than this young man, never seen anyone more convicted, more forgiven, or more committed to the Lord, and his family. Enough said. God Bless Michael.
Michael is just now coming into his prime although his voice has always been touched by the angels. Now his soulfulness adds richness to raw talent. There is an Anointment in his singing.
@iwillrocknroll4eva The "Terry" they were asking about is Terry Franklin....the blonde-haird tenor in the group when this video was produced (1992 or 1993, I believe).
He left to do ministry with his wife Barbi Franklin, and it appears he's still doing that.....google their names, or "Heart For the World Ministries," and you should find them.
After reading most of the comments below, I'm amazed that God allows any of us to remain here at all. There are so many who are so critical of those who make mistakes and it breaks my heart to know I served in churches for so many years as a music/worship minister to hear other Christians waiting to pounce on someone who has done something wrong. The comments below prove one thing to be true, and that is that "Christians are the only army who shoot their wounded."
jfn, I have no issue with those who prefer Guy over Micheal, though I am annoyed by such judgement...when only God should say. One good that Meg is making.....its tiring seeing someone continually falling back (which English has done more than a few times since 1995)yet they get placed in front of someone who may be more deserving in human eyes. Why is David after God's heart, but Moses does not cross over Jordan? This is where I have to give it up and hand it over to God.
@jfn3357 thank you! since you posted, there have been even more that have accumulated - one going so far as to say they didn't think "moses made it" to heaven "either" - UNBELIEVABLE - astounding words about a man of god that transcribed the 10 commandments by god's holy spirit. aren't you glad we serve a god that PROVIDED WE RETURN DAILY TO HIS HOLY WAYS, he remembers our sins no more?!? i sure am! GLORY TO GOD - remember people, you'll know them by their BEHAVIOR, not bumper stickers.. lol
Huge! Guy is PURE Gold with an impeccable christian talent. God gave Guy a great respectful gift and he has honored it. Michael tarnished his role & has had to continue as a secular singer even though we agree he has talent. Guy shines in his spirit & God continues to shine through his singing. Moses was a wonderful servant too, but he wasn't allowed in the Promise Land due to his sin. I just don't receive Michael's style as God given talent now. So ag'n, w/ Guy's way, I can sing along w/ God.
wow, it is one thing to debate about singing talent, another to talk about who is a good person and who is going to the promised land. you don't know either one of these people or where their hearts are at so you should probably keep your judgements to yourself. you don't "receive michael's talent as God given now"? so he sinned...and all of a sudden his talent is not from God? btw, he isn't doing secular music now, he sings 100% Gospel. Actually phelps last album was "secular"
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Good 4 Mike, but the damage is done. God snatched it away. NOW, as in NO more-Holy Spirit moved out. Not to say he isn't serving again or forgiven. Read it again, MOSES was not allowed IN. As I recall, I didn't mention WHY I felt Mike didn't measure up anymore until U had 2 debate. In ping pong, the ball has to bounce back once served. It's funny how Christians join in, hope not to offend (my 1st post)& then YOU put in 2cents, yet I'm not allowed to defend it. But then judging is your card? bye
it's funny when people are so naive to think they know who is serving God based on these shows. but now we have you who can gladly tell us who "measures up" and who doesn't. if you read mike's book he is probably serving God more now than he was while he was singing this. Moses?, yeah i remember. Then Jesus came along and paid the price so that we don't have to anymore. i would delete your stupid comment but hopefully people will read and understand it is the opposite of the principle of Christ
My settings on how I receive my Youtube postings have changed, whew! No more notifications. Now U can go back to ole lopsided mentality.
Yes, Jesus came and died for me too. Baker/Swaggart fell too. God forgave, they repented, but like Saul, David was chosen as king.
I am far from naive. But measuring up as the uploader of this video? yeah, I could judge you pretty darn quickly. What's so humorous is I didn't know I was making a "stupid comment" to the uploader. My bad. Please forgive?
Be offended all you want but I never got nasty. I pray you learn from this oxymoron. I wasn't picking on you only questioning the reasoning & not the validity of your post, Sarcasm sure! Yet still respectful. Your quick reference as to me making a stupid comment. Well you opened your own door. With that being said, your comments have nothing to do with anything I originally stated.
I hope you find enjoyment picking on others & why anyone would feel as such is beyond me.
@palmasdr right on..just read a post by someone that believes moses didn't make it to heaven cuz he wasn't allowed into the promised land LOL!. hm, well, let's see, there were others that had some faults too - oh wait, that's all of us! lol.. oh, but no one was saved before jesus (another post by i think the same person about moses lol) - WRONG - matt 8:10-11 - some folks need to read it. we sin every day and i praise god he is loving and faithful to forgive us as we return daily to his ways.
Listen, instead of writing "I like Guy Penrod's way" you should have just said Guy Penrod is a better person than Michael English because I can see beyond their vocal talent and into their actual souls. And further I can judge their hearts and know when the holy spirit is and is not on someone. Then any readers would have known what a condescending lunatic you were and altogether ignored you. You are a large part of what is wrong with Christianity.
exactly. apparently meganolia knows exactly when "God snatched the holy spirit" from M English. but don't call her a lunatic, it is judging and not christian like.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I am not ashamed to say I agree with meganolia. Mr. English may have more vocal talent but he is clearly a different spirit than Guy. Guy has that gentle caring way about him and you can see it in his eyes. Mr. English stopped serving God and I don't know many drug addicts or adulterers reaching the promised land. Mr. Penrod is a real believer!
Let me share a little something with those of you that feel that it's necessary to condemn Michael English (or anyone, for that matter).
You may want to dive into your Bible and do some reading. Why don't you check out John 8. Especially John 8:7..."Let he who is without sin cast the first stone".
You may want to check out some of these other scriptures. John 3:15-18, John 10:28-30, Romans 8:38-39, Ephesians 4:30, and Jude 24. Once saved, always saved! That's what the Bible says.
@matthewtedford "Once saved, always saved! That's what the Bible says."
that's not true! don't take scripture to conform to what you desire! if once saved always saved is true, why the prodigal son?
you better read your bible - “Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.” (Matt.7:21)
Hebrews 5:9 “And being made perfect, he became the author of eternal salvation unto all them that obey him”
Shame on you brother! Thank God that He allows us to repent of our sins and you are not our JUDGE...only God knows the heart and shame on you for casting a stone...if you say you have never sined, you are a lier and you need to read Matthew 24:51 brother.
Michael is now back with the Gaither Vocal Band, and I am proud that Bill can show the true love of a Christian, and knows about Grace and the Love of our Heavenly Father.
In orden to be forgiven, we must be able to forgive.
If ye do not forgive neither will your father in heaven forgive you. Forgiveness is not optional in Christianity.. it is required.
Now to the video.. I am not a great fan of southern gospel music. I am a contemporary worship leader... that said.. I can tell you ..this one comes straight from the throne room of God.. Its a great song...
