Petra - Fool's Gold

[MrGiantkiller33]

Abraham was (waiting) for a city with foundations, Whose builder and Maker was God".

[TheUnknownManInBlack]

thanks unknownfan for posting all these songs.instead of reaching for my Petra cds and ripping them to my pc, i can just listen on youtube

[whomyguy1]

I remember being teased in Jr. high about being a christian and how I was stupid for beliving in something that can't be seen. to which I replied "I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of man than a fool in the eyes of God!" never made fun of me after that

[inbetweentics]

eternity's a LONNNNNNNNG time..

that ought to scare the hell out of anyone! lol but seriously, if you ponder on a daily and nightly basis just HOW long eternity means, who on earth would want to be separated from the love of god?

call me a fool, but i'm aiming for the prize.. :)

[ThePrayerwarrior777]

@inbetweentics amen brother, we don't want anyone in the gates of hell

This is one of the best songs of Petra .. Back to the Street ... I am a big fan of that album and

Fool's Gold is the best song.

[rocketmanbkk]

Been on the mission field for 10 years now. Been feeling like a fool lately. Was singin' this song to myself goin' down the road just the other day. What an encouragement and reminder. Petra songs were a great ministry to me growing up and still are.

[Hottentott33]

"Some may call me foolish - some may call me odd

But I'd rather be a fool in the eyes of men

Than a fool in the eyes of God"

I couldn't have said it better myself!

Greetings from Norway!

[drmjr]

I'd also rather be a fool in the eyes of man than a fool in the eyes of God!

[Funkdogg]

great message. it's always good to know that even when you are pretty much broke you can build a fortune in heaven!

[bhindthosegreeneyes]

Old song (but good one) with a timeless & great message

[camlpg]

A great anointed song by an honest Christian.

[ThePrayerwarrior777]

Is this based on revelation?

[CygnusX1981]

Goodness, this song brings back such great memories!

[bhindthosegreeneyes]

I love this song also! It is so hard being a Christian these days.I am struggling with it,and realized I have no Christian friends anymore.

Thanks for the memories!

@bhindthosegreeneyes A Norwegian minister once asked: If The Lord feels distant, who do you think moved away from whom? Sometimes the Lord leeds us througt rough terrain just to make us realize which one to trust: The One that never leaves ya, or those who left? Even Paul and John the Baptist had to experience this. Here's a song to you with a message from Heaven: I'll Never Let Go Of Your Hand - Don Francisco (search for it, YT didn't accept the link) God Bless You, friend :o)

[bhindthosegreeneyes]

@BKaz

God bless you as well!

[serpentguitarman]

[bhindthosegreeneyes]

"Fool´s gold-It´s waitting in a crown"..It means that some people say that the Christian life is somethig fool and at the end you will work for nothing, Fool´s gold is the crown that we´ll receibe in Heaven. Our reward is not here but in heaven and that day the Lord will say: "Well done good and faithful one, enter in come and share with me..." So keep working for your reward!

[inbetweentics]

happydey, your comment and this song reminds me of a what a dear friend told me long before i decided i knew i would follow christ.

i said, what's the point of living your way vs living any other?

he said, if your way is right, when you die, you have nothing, but if my way is right, then i have inherited everything i could ever want.

that stayed with me and still does.

[ThePrayerwarrior777]

AMEN TO THAT BROTHER everything on this earth is fool's gold our reward is not here but in heaven in Jesus mighty name AMEN AND AMEN
