SEATBELT!

@brajamtho757

You see, sometimes I ask God why there is poverty, suffering, and injustice in this world when He could do something about it.

But sometimes I'm afraid he might as me the same question ...

[TheSmlth]

@brajamtho757 i am a christian and i completely agree with you bro, i think you will be really interested in a book called "radical" by a guy named david platt. he pretty much says the same thing that you just said but he runs a megachurch

[777eaglesoar]

It is amazing what the Lord will do, when we remain faithful to him! You are right there will be hard times, and great times when we do the Creator's work, but I would rather be working for Him, than to fall with the evil one! I am glad that you put these sermons on YouTube. I would never have found these inspiring words and I personally thank you. Keep it up, Mark !

Why don't you use seat belts?

[s1tater]

I like the style of this video

[perfectpolyphony]

Let's degenerate into a flame war.

[evesdrop1982]

@perfectpolyphony Please don't. Youtube is over run with that kind of stuff. I personally advocate a respect revolution on social networking sites like this one where people can agree or disagree without having to insult each other personally. It would be nice to go onto one video and not see countless numbers of comments that are basically just childish name calling back and forth.

My favorite part is when the pastors say they'll pray about his need and he's all like, "No way, I need it NOW."

[ebumpkin]

I invented blogging, social networking, Flickr and YouTube.

Actually Featherylock, the reason that churches dont buy into the "creative" things is because of the reason that you shouldnt need "creative" ways to bring people in, All Jesus did was say "Follow me" and people followed, its in the words that jesus spoke that people loved, not the way he sang or danced or whatever creative thing you can do, He spoke the love of God, Thats what people should follow, not some fake church trying to be "cool" just to get you in, that is fake.;

[andresgquezada]

@psyclone108 totally agree

[Protoman5801]

@psyclone108 Creativity is an attribute God has given us. Why shouldn't we use that gift to worship God and further His kingdom? Pastor Mark was talking about a new, innovative way to minister to people via the Internet. I think people notice when a church is trying to find new (but still Biblical) ways to do church instead of just trying to do what is considered the "norm" for churches. I think you can show the love of God by everything you do, not just what you say.

[thekatiejones9]

@Protoman5801 This is actually a really good point in context to the beliefs. Unfortunately, it's not furthering any kingdoms, but I'm glad it makes you all feel good.

[thekatiejones9]

@psyclone108 I agree, but I would add that we can't know that there is a God. So, even all that stuff Jesus supposedly said should be put under question.

[bubbabrand]

do you condone driving without seatbelts

[1Lion2the3Liam]

I know that Mark is very easy to like but, I just love him so much.

Thank you God.

[derhammerman]

Does your god always step in when his people are incompetent?

[fieryeyez]

@derhammerman God makes a way for his work to be done.

[derhammerman]

@fieryeyez That's amazing! How do you know these things? Does he tell you himself or do you just "feel" it?

[TheSeanWilson]

@derhammerman Yes (see also: Jesus).

[dmckin4054]

Awesomeness. Loved this video. Great testament that hard times are what bring forth growth, not the easy times.

[Featherylock]

It's sad when you see a church with no money still refusing to be creative because that would "change things" and "that's not the way it used to be"
