You're right, Chris, we are all in this position at times. I like the saying, "if you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything" Keep standing tall for the truth, bro! You are definitely glorifying God!!
I realize that this requires one to really bite one's lip, but I agreed that it was a wise and prudent decision given the nature of this medium. I would encourage you to stay the course with that resolution.
Well - I think I have stayed out of the drama - but on the other hand - I tried to speak to some brothers who I really believe need to be more conscious of their positions and how they are being viewed by those who need Christ the most. Still, Ill consider what you've said - maybe I'm crossing that line?
Well, that is not for me to say. I would only comment that I appreciated the shift that you made after your "Season Two" resolution, and this one was quite different. As I said, the tone and content were great, I just was slightly concerned that it might lead to the same old intramural tit-for-tat.
I completely agree with the substance of the previous video as well as your demeanor in presenting it. However, I was left wondering how it fit with the deliberate change that you announced with the "Season Two" emphasis. I thought that you made a resolution in that series of videos to take the high road and to stay out of the drama, tempting as it may be to do so.
On second thought...I think this video was poorly done. Next time consider not being inside a vehicle, change the lighting a bit, and make your tone a bit less sarcastic. Overall this video did not please me and I know that is your goal...right?
Ha, just like in politics, you can only please some of the people some of the time. The inevitability of this makes it easier for me to speak my convictions.
31 There came then his brethren and his mother, and, standing without, sent unto him, calling him. 32 And the multitude sat about him, and they said unto him, Behold, thy mother and thy brethren without seek for thee. 33 And he answered them, saying, Who is my mother, or my brethren? 34 And he looked round about on them which sat about him, and said, Behold my mother and my brethren! 35 For whosoever shall do the will of God, the same is my brother, and my sister, and mother.
lirpa - Indeed - one of the most controversial passages in Mark - basically - His family had come because they had heard He (Jesus, the Son of God) had lost His mind - in response - He stepped out of His human family and into His spiritual one...
lirpa - I understand your position - but putting God before family actually makes me more loving towards my family - because He loves them first - ya know?
hahaha Chris you are expecting humans not to be hypocritical. Never expect loyalty, respect, honesty or even consistency from a human being. EVER!!! Rather be surprised when it happens. It is sad but the most cynical world view is the most accurate.
I just want to say I like your graphics a lot. They're creative and look great on screen. As for the substantive issue, in whatever group one finds oneself, there are perpetual (seemingly professional) critics who can never be pleased and whose never-can-be-pleased kvetching is best ignored. For what it's worth, I think you made an excellent point.
That's how we know we're over the target... and you got it right brother... the only subscriber we need to please is Daddy... Good word brother. God bless you.
You mushroom-headed, pagan wannabe heretic??? What is that all about CajunPunk......why are you calling ChristopherL this name?....Is this a public private joke?
GUAM - just trying to please God bro - its just funny - because I don't do anything because of critics - but when one month they are mad I don't rebuke my brothers - and then in a totally separate occasion they get ripped because I do rebuke my brothers - it gets a little maddening... I just wanted to let people who go through this know they aren't alone.
Christians live in your own way of christ and do what you see is fit for you. If your outspoken are choose to be a one on one type of guy or girl speaking in the holy spirit and letting god have all the glory that all that matters.
One of the many social activities on Youtube - some come here to meet like-minded people, others to vent their frustrations, others to just randomly complain.
If it's any consolation, I grumbled about your choice of music at the end of this video, and swear by almighty God I won't grumble if you change it.
That is so true..you kind of have to be ready to defend what you know to be right just for speaking it, lol. God Bless and best wishes to your family!
It's good to share this because most people don't even realize it's happening. People will bombard you with accusations, judgements, and anger when you say the "wrong" thing. But...those same people get after you if you don't say anything! Hang tough in the Lord.
Good man,
really good,I feel like this.

bruv.. i struggled for meaning with what you were talkini about...
I appreciate your point of view...
But I still dont know that point of what you said.. and how it has salvivic value...
I love the medium...
But give more thought about what you goin to say... make it clearer...
ask yourself: if what im goin to say is necessary...
whats your overall tone.. pretty sarcastic..
I love what you said at the end.. but you tainted it with gibberish in the beginning...
but keep goin!
