Billy Present was a truly gifted spirit. This performance is a testament to that fact. Though i respect the criticisms of others we must take into consideration that Billy was a victim of child abuse in a time when u couldnt talk abt stuff like that and their was not the help there is now. Mr. Preston like so many others who bare the invisible wounds of sexual abuse was a troubled soul who was never able to heal his inner wounds. God bless u Billy Preston. Thank u 4 sharing ur gift with us.
I'm not religious... But he can make me FEEL... Tears prick my eyes everyone I watch this....because he was so damn good....wish I was around to see this...
Wow, really out did himself on that song. When the Lord moved on him and he got up and started dancing, I truly believe that the Lord moved on me as well. I was waving my arms around and getting into it. Billy Preston was an incredible musician. I just love the Gospels songs the way he sings them. Rest in peace Billy.
Billy was a superior musician, and his musicianship could never be reinvented or fully emulated. Thank God, he wasn't afraid to shout and praise, no matter the audience. Btw, the background vocals are KILLING!!!!!!
Billy was awesome! He had a lot of demons. I just recently saw a Docu about Billy and I was surprised to learn he was gay. And that caused his struggles with drugs because he believed God was against him being gay b/c it's a "sin." I doubt God cared but I know society cares more so than God does. Mr. Preston was a very talented man. Can imagine what he could have done if his soul was free of burden. Rest in peace Billy. It's well deserved. Thank you for blessing us with talent, love & big smile!
Thanks to i-Tunes I listened to the Concert for Bangladesh and heard this long forgotten treasure from the 'Fifth Beatle.' What an amazing uplifting reflection of the way we need to live life rather than in the hateful ways we have brought upon ourselves.
There is no material or physical suffering here that can amount to the wonder and satisfaction of heaven, a place where the limited time here on this earth means nothing because we will live there FOREVER!!
Amazing performance!! Billy was such a genius.... why has he not yet been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame? He so deserves the recognition, if not as a sideman for his work with the Beatles... and let's not even get into hisunbelievable solo artist catalog. How would one start a campaign to put an artists name in for consideration of induction?
I stopped asking questions and I've decided to "roll with the punches" of life because THAT'S THE WAY GOD PLANNED IT. I accept God for who He is. I can actually feel the anointing on this song.
suffering is a part of the human condition. It's not always good; in fact it is sometimes terrible; but, it is part of our spiritual evolution. God does not exist apart from us but is a part of us, or... we are a part of God... it's all the same thing. If, as a person, you never face diversity you cannot develop personally. The same goes for the human race. Without suffering we cannot develop as humans. Day cannot exist without night, joy without sorrow. Yin and Yang etc.
''those shall be saved who believe in the One who sent me'' Srila Je'sus de Kristeh Maharaja.John 5:24 ''More than this I have to tell you, but ,you are not yet able to hear.It takes a cool head and a warm heart to purify one's mind and a cool head to stay neutral in a world of cheaters and cheated ; realize you are spirit soul.
@Mikeyski4 yes, yes ;-) u got a point... Although I find arguing here and there pretty intriguing, although it's mostly useless... Once again, the most important thing here: respect for Mr. Prestons beautiful music!
Just to add another smartass comment to this great discussion: Should there be a god who is responsible for all wonderful music created in his name, I would be his most devoted follower. But until the moment I find out, I'll just try to shut up (wish me luck;) ), and listen to... let's say... Billy Preston!
@funkoforte Billy wrote this song through his Faith. Faith is believing Without Seeing. The music you see and hear is Billy's tangable worship and Love for Jesus. If you look closely the dance he is doing is an expression of Joy specific to african -american worship. You DO NOt Have TO Believe to listen to Billy's music ok.
Please Respect the Fact that Billy did all his life and I know he is heaven with Jesus now. I love Jesus and this song is special to me.
@97karenlacey I guess that comment I left can be seen as disrespectful which was in no way my intention. I respect every beautiful or original music as well as all different beliefs of people, whether or not their faith inspired them to create music. Therefore I want to apologize if my comment, that was only meant to be a bit self-ironic, may have been insulting to some. Hope you understand. Cheers!
@funkoforte No Problem :Why can't we be humble like the good Lord said? He promised to Exalt us....
That's the way God planned it... learn how to help one anorther He promised to Exalt... US That's the way GOd planned it that's the way he want's it to be, If we just humble our selves.... Look AT His Dancing .....
@RockinDavescave It was Billy's words for the song but that's what I feel and agree exactly. Listen to the song it even more beautiful to Hear Billy Sing It and I love his dancing.
There's always gotta be a bunch of douche bags on these videos fighting with one another about god, trying to sound smart. You don't sound smart. Everyone thinks you look like fucking losers when you fight over something that isn't relevant to the video.
Billy spontaneously jumping up to dance across the stage is one of the greatest moments in rock music. It's precisely why George and so many other white rock musicians wanted him to play with them. And Billy did it all with such little personal ego. God bless Billy Preston.
How about all you pocket theologians and amatuer athiests give it a rest. This is a phenomenal performance by a legendary musician. Billy Preston was a one of a kind. Love this tune and love this clip. The guy had soul in his music.
People have to find an argument over God on this message board, because the discussion over the song is simple: It's awesome and perfect in every imagineable way.
I dont defend God, He dont need me defending him. He speaks well enough for himself. He gave us his word , and his son. Read the Bible, its all there, and accept the son.
Make England english again havin worked 36 years i dont need to support immigrants asylum seekers would they support me and my pension if i went to their country fuck off exactly!!"!!!!!
FALSE PROPHETS FLOOD THE AIRWAY- LIKE THE ONE I HEARD ON GOD TV WHO SAID I BELIEVE GOD HAS BLESSED AMERICA BECAUSE THEY HAVE BLESSED ISRAEL- WRONG! GOD HAS CURSED AMERICA FOR DIVIDING ISRAEL LAND FOR PEACE AND ELIJAH CAME AFTER PRESIDENT GW BUSH FOR THE CRIME AGAINST THE KINGDOM OF GOD- ELIJAH AND HIS DAD THE FAITHFUL MARTYR IS WORKING HARD WITH THE FAITHFUL WITNESS JESUS CHRIST SO THE CURSED AMERICA DOES NOT GET WIPED OFF THE MAP (SEE AMOS 9:8)
***WOW*** This song really spoke to me and it makes me reconsider why on earth I was put on earth ??? I'm finding a bible teaching Church (not a traditional one) next Sunday and going to find out.
WOW! AWESOME! Billy taking us 2 church. More importantly listen 2 the words. Spreading the word in his interpretation through his gift of music. Now that's what "MINISTRY" really is, reaching out 2 "ALL". Contrary 2 what the church may say or how they feel. We tend 2 put 2 much emphasis on how the gospel is suppose 2 be spread. As long as it's "UNADULTERATED" who's 2 judge.
He gave you and billions of others earths. He doesn't tell you what you can or cannot do with it. That's the government's job it seems. I would rather believe in a Creator and be right, than not believe in a Creator and be wrong. And for you atheists, if I believe in a flying spaghetti monster, and there is none, then no harm done. But if there IS one and I'm right, then I'm right. Still no harm done to you. So get off your high horse.
Great stuff, best Hammond handler ever. I was lucky enough to see him 'warm-up' an audience for Ray Charles at the RFH in London around '69: I'd no idea who he was, no intro at all. Just walked on and did it - him and a piano. Blew the audience away!!
wow, God is faithful in all His ways. The Almighty gave Billy a talent that used it for His glory. God never never fails to bless and exalt the humble and meek. Billy, was truly blessed with a musical talent that is rarely seen. Billy, thanks for giving the world your songs and inspiring us to trust in God and Him alone.
Liza Zoon, to answer your question would be very easy. In fact the way you pose your questions I can see that you will not accept my answer. However, I will properly answer your question, not knowing your believes or religion or whatever you want to call it. So, the answer is a big YES. Almighty God is in control of everything and even the number of hairs in your head are counted and He knows how many you have today. If you want to know more about this God let me know.
@MrCuachirol No sir, the answer is not easy. No religion has ever come up with a reasonable answer for the suffering of the INNOCENT. What`s the use of knowing how many hairs there are on my head ?
Ok, in the first place you assumed I was referring to God the Father and rightly so, I was referring to him. Whether you accept this truth or not, God is still in control and will continue to be in control even after you and I are long gone from this world. Almighty God said he will have mercy on whom he will have mercy. If you are familiar with the Old Testament you will recall God ordained the destruction of entire towns which included men, women and children. I only know He is in charge.
@MrCuachirol I am all too familiar with the old=testament. It is the most exhalted accumulation of nonsense ever assembled by man. By the way, you forgot to explain to me, why this heavenly father would make those innocent children suffer.
@lizazoon Well, Liza, I guess you must be an expert in Old Testament theology to make such a statement about the Bible. I will not get into an argument with you about why God does the things He does and whether we can justify His actions. I can tell you this one thing, Almighty God is sovereign overall and He holds your life in the palm of His hand. So far you have enjoyed life because He is gracious and loving and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
@MrCuachirol That`s all nice and dandy, but you carefully tiptoe around the question. I do not need an homily. I asked a question. Why the suffering of the innocent ?
Respond to this video...Liza, to answer your question about why he let little children suffer is not for me to answer but Him. However, what have you done to do anything about hunger, about visiting your next door neighbor who is sick, etc. You can make a difference about hunger in the world. what have you done.
Your answer is here - God created every single child and gave them life and He sustains every creature on earth. He can take anyone He chooses any time He wants.
@MrCuachirol That`s exactly what we here on earth, call a dictator. He disposes of the lives of his subjects as he pleases. You want to cow-tow before a dictator, be my guest. Not me.
@lizazoon Hmmmm, Liza, I don't understand where you come from with this dictator business. In the first place you are mixing man and God in the equation. He is not a dictator and if he were and he is the one capable of giving you life and sustaining you, what right do you have in demanding an explanation about his ways. I understand your frustration and I can feel your hurt and I also wish these things didn't happen but they do and God ordains earthquakes. He is God not you and not me.
@MrCuachirol : You are still beating around the bush. Why don`t you just admit there is no explanation why the innocent have to suffer. Period. . This god has no human face, no human love, no human justice,
@lizazoon No Liza, He does have love and more than what you can understand or comprehend. He does have a face and He is just. You and I are finite beings and he is not.
I hope this will answer your question which I thought I answered before but here it goes --------> Yes God allowed to have all these lives to be lost. I know you don't want to hear this but you asked and I already answered. You, however, did not accept my answer. Read the book of Job if you are interested.
@MrCuachirol No more comments. You ignore the question, because you know very well ,you have no answer. My doubts about god and religion will never be solved, if I get no reasonable answer.
@lizazoon Liza, no, I would love to help you get the answers you seek but I thought I answered your question. forgive me if I have missed your point. I would love to talk to you about God. I am by no means avoiding anything. so, if you want to talk about it tell me.
@MrCuachirol you know my question sir. And I get no acceptable answers. One: God does what he wants : I cannot accept that. I can accept that from a tyrant. One other answer it is, the guilt from the original sin. Sorry, I cannot buy that either. I cannot accept that god`s justice has nothing human. To claim that we are guilty because of Adam`s sin is nonsense to me.
@lizazoon Ok Liza, for those who do not accept God's gift of life are already condemned and if you wish to remain where you are, then it is your choice. I know where I am going and only wish that you choose life and not death for your own sake. I am here to convince you, I am here to let you know what God says. Almighty God is great, He is awesome and just and worthy of all praise. I will praise Him until my last breath here on earth for my real life will begin when I leave this world.
So what you're asking,is why GOD, doesn't stop us, making the innocent suffer? It got me thinking about how he could do it. Well, he could FORCE the world governments to use whatever resources necessary to stop it,, or he could perform some other kind of miracle. I'm sure you would much prefer the miracle, lets be fair, what you're really after is proof. I can't help you there.Sorry. What I want to know is, why mankind is such a bastard and does nothing about the suffering of the millions.
@ARE2DTWO : Mankind is not the bastard, god is. He is almighty. He can say" poof" and the whole universe is created, but helping those starving to death, that`s is too much.
@lizazoon So give me an example how God can help all those starving to death?
They all wake up to a full English every day? he turns rocks into bread? how about, food,houses,hospitals,schools,nurses,cooks doctors all magically appear overnight? Who's gonna run these places,distribute the help etc,What exactly do you want him to do? He can do anything right? so come on, give me just one suggestion. You want an answer to your question,well give me an answer to mine :)
@ARE2DTWO Didn`t he rain mana on the starving israelites in the desert ? Didn`t he multiply the loaves of bread and the fish ? He is ALLMIGHTY isn`t he ? He is just a disinterested bystander at human misery. Maybe he just enjoys human misery ?
@lizazoon ur obviously not familiar with the depravity of man and the doctrine of sin. that's the first step. to address the bad that happens to human beings while ignoring the good that happens to human beings all apart from the fall of man, u'll never understand God nor why things are the way they are.
@slowwinda The "doctrine of sin" is theological nonsense. Period. I understand perfectly well, the way things are. But I can`t figure the role of a god in the way things are.
@lizazoon Most people who don't believe in sin don't understand God. You can't understand the way things are if you don't understand God. So, I can see how you would say the things you have said. There appears to be more confidence in human ability to reason than the realization that God knows all while we know a barely a speck of what he does.
@lizazoon@lizazoon ur obviously not familiar with the depravity of man and the doctrine of sin. that's the first step. to address the bad that happens to human beings while ignoring the good that happens to human beings all apart from the fall of man, u'll never understand God nor why things are the way they are. Have u ever asked why God doesn't strike people down people for blasphemy like he did in the O.T.?
@lizazoon Ok he feeds the starving by creating lots of food. He would have to do it daily, obviously, one meal isn't gonna solve the problem. He eradicates earthquakes,tsunamis,hurricanes and any other events that can kill and hurt people.
then there are those who are wrongly found guilty of crimes they did not commit, and punished, so he should sort that out. lets not forget the murderers,rapists etc, he should stop that as well. Oh and make everyone a millionaire. Happy days all round.
after reading all these arguments from people that don't know what they're talking about, the god that billy is singing about is the greatest being/entity that there is. he created this world for a purpose that we don't, and don't need to understand. this world has been twisted by sin, into something that he did not intend. he gave us free will and we chose sin. its our fault but he still knew it would happen. God wants us to follow him no matter how bad things get. thats the way he planned it.
@ARE2DTWO He created the Earth giving it to man to rule on his behalf, giving him dominion over all creation. Earth created to be a colony of heaven, if you will, having the same culture as the home country - heaven. But man rebelled wishing instead to go his own way and do as he pleased instead of remaining in submission to the King. Evil is the result. Whatever is wicked it's our fault.
Thank God there's a way to reverse these things through the Gospel of the Kingdom.

@ARE2DTWO Pray to HIM, thank HIM for the time HE gives to you, thank HIM for the health HE gives to you and never ever forget that this life is temporary and life after death is for ever. If you don't believe in this things don't and let those who do believe, believe. GOD will judge, not you.
@pospouris You should be directing your comments to @lizazoon not me! She was the person who was questioning God, she was the person who wanted to know why God allowed so many atrocities to occur. I was simply asking HER was she wanted God to do? I have also stated in a previous post that I believe in God. Please read the whole thread and you will see that it is not ME who is complaining or a disbeliever. :)
@ARE2DTWO well, we have to realize that this world is first of all- not perfect. In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now, God made Adam and Eve, and saw that it was good. However, God gives us a very beautiful yet complicating gift called "Free Will." In order to understand this subject we have to go all the way to the beginning. Everything was absolutely perfect in the Garden of Eden, where God had unhindered intimate fellowship with the Lord. However...
@ARE2DTWO That's the way God planned it and it cannot be measured by the finite fearful self loathing human mind. Like an ant trying to perceive and comprehend the milky way galaxy. Every tear will be wiped away and every hurt comforted. So don't worry be happy.
@ARE2DTWO perhaps G-d can give comfort to those who have no hope, and ensure that they live through the hard times - even if you do not believe in G-d, surely you can see that those who do are provided with something tangible in their times of need.......
@shedzy I totally agree with you. My response was to the specific question as to why God doesn't help those that are starving to death in a material way? Why God allows children to be trapped and suffer under a pile of rubble after an earthquake? The lady who asked those questions is not of the opinion that giving "confort" to those who have no hope is sufficient. So I was simply asking "what physical, material action do you want him to take?" For the record, I do believe in God, :)
Ae the reason why their are starving people in the world is because of Adam and Eve caused god to take the Garden of Eden and making us have to fend for ourselves because he lost trust in us, which is being slowly rebuilt since the time Mosses got the Ten Commandments.

@ARE2DTWO I'll tell you who does it. Those with a heart willing to take their time and do the nursing, feeding, schooling because of a desire to live for others instead of soley for themselves.
@ARE2DTWO People starving from lack of food and water is caused by us human obsessed and blinded by wealth and power. If we people learn to life according God we learn to love each other, help and share our food. Ofcourse a child starving due to lack of food can't wait for a world transformation, but i know for sure God takes care for him in heaven. Jesus came for the poor, not for the rich. It is our duty to help those people and not to wait, do nothing and then blame God for it

we all want an answer to the age old question but only he knows the answer. If you help, he put you here to help and the suffering of the world is his plan so you can see it. To see what can be done is his plan. Then you take action and you will see God's work in action because you were put here by Him and that was the plan. Have faith because without faith you have nothing. Everything you have came from God and he put it in your hands to use it the way he planned for you to use it.
@lizazoon It's sad to see man pick and choose what's evil, sad, ethically right, etc. How can you discredit all of the evil we contribute to the World. You choose to focus on starvation? OK let's focus on it. Do you have a heart to serve those in starving countries? There are many Christian outreaches taking mission trips to actually serve and what they are learning is that some of them have more faith in God than we do, a nation known for having everything. Nothin happens outside of his contol
@slowwinda What I do to help the poor, is besides the point, besides, it might surprise you. I am not the ALLMIGHTY, LOVING god. And I am not talking about starvation in the first place, which humanity could eventually prevent. I am talking about the 100.000 + innocent children dying a horrible death, suffocating beneath the rubble of their houses in Haiti. This loving ALLMIGHTY god, was just an amazed spectator.
@lizazoon If u help the poor, ur not serving God in ur serving so it's not worthy of boasting hence vanity. Ur right. Ur not God so maybe u should consider that u don't know as much as he does about what's going on in the World and why. He is sovereign, HOLY, loving, and many amazing traits which could only be understood if we're in a loving relationship with him saved thru the blood of the Son, Jesus. How could u even know how many children died in it?
@MrCuachirol : So god ordained the destruction of whole towns, and because it`s in the bible,you feel comfortable with this mass-murder ???. Don`t you think you might need a psychiatrist ?
@lizazoon - Liza, at what moment did I get personal with you and insult you in any way? I am not hurt by your comments but I can see how much grief in within you. I'm sure you've heard this saying "out of a man's heart the mouth speaks" and your word reveal your inner struggles.
I hope God will someday remove the veil from your eyes and allow you to see His glory. I know you can't see it even if it were right under your nose. I know it is impossible for you to see what I see.
@lizazoon - Wow Liza, you don't even know Him and you can pass judgement on God? I guess that makes you god. hmmmm, interesting since you were asking why does the innocent suffer. I thought you would know that. sorry for the sarcasm but I had to say it.
Just know this Liza, you can not understand God's word unless He allows you to. Even if you tried, you can't understand it because God's Holy Spirit is not within you. This is not a hard thing to understand but you don't have Him in you.
Liza, I hope you can see I am not giving God a bad rap. These things I am writing are right from the Bible. It would be futile for me to try to convince you to understand what is written in the Bible. Why am I saying this? Because the Bible is spiritually discerned. If you want to know more about this let me know. Understand that I am not trying to get into an argument with you, I am only informing you about what I know about God's word. So, IF you want to know more let me know
This is a great song performed by great musicians. The Concert for Bangladesh was a great performance for an excellent cause.The lyrics so simple and meaningful, yet too many people can't understand them. They are too wrapped up attaching Christianity to it. Just try........Love thy neighbor, Peace not war, Treat poor & needy with some dignity.....

suffering is a part of the human condition. It's not always good; in fact it is sometimes terrible; but, it is part of our spiritual evolution. God does not exist apart from us but is a part of us, or... we are a part of God... it's all the same thing. If, as a person, you never face diversity you cannot develop personally. The same goes for the human race. Without suffering we cannot develop as humans. Day cannot exist without night, joy without sorrow. Yin and Yang etc.

@funkoforte Billy wrote this song through his Faith. Faith is believing Without Seeing. The music you see and hear is Billy's tangable worship and Love for Jesus. If you look closely the dance he is doing is an expression of Joy specific to african -american worship. You DO NOt Have TO Believe to listen to Billy's music ok.
Please Respect the Fact that Billy did all his life and I know he is heaven with Jesus now. I love Jesus and this song is special to me.

@MrCuachirol Did god plan the horrible dead of more than 100.000 innocent children suffocating under the rubble of their dwellings in Haiti ?
lizazoon 1 year ago
@lizazoon
Liza Zoon, to answer your question would be very easy. In fact the way you pose your questions I can see that you will not accept my answer. However, I will properly answer your question, not knowing your believes or religion or whatever you want to call it. So, the answer is a big YES. Almighty God is in control of everything and even the number of hairs in your head are counted and He knows how many you have today. If you want to know more about this God let me know.
MrCuachirol 1 year ago
@MrCuachirol No sir, the answer is not easy. No religion has ever come up with a reasonable answer for the suffering of the INNOCENT. What`s the use of knowing how many hairs there are on my head ?
lizazoon 1 year ago
@MrCuachirol So your god planned the suffering and death of those uncountable INNOCENT children ?? What a loving father.
lizazoon 1 year ago
Ok, in the first place you assumed I was referring to God the Father and rightly so, I was referring to him. Whether you accept this truth or not, God is still in control and will continue to be in control even after you and I are long gone from this world. Almighty God said he will have mercy on whom he will have mercy. If you are familiar with the Old Testament you will recall God ordained the destruction of entire towns which included men, women and children. I only know He is in charge.
MrCuachirol 1 year ago
@MrCuachirol I am all too familiar with the old=testament. It is the most exhalted accumulation of nonsense ever assembled by man. By the way, you forgot to explain to me, why this heavenly father would make those innocent children suffer.
lizazoon 1 year ago
@lizazoon Well, Liza, I guess you must be an expert in Old Testament theology to make such a statement about the Bible. I will not get into an argument with you about why God does the things He does and whether we can justify His actions. I can tell you this one thing, Almighty God is sovereign overall and He holds your life in the palm of His hand. So far you have enjoyed life because He is gracious and loving and He will never leave you nor forsake you.
MrCuachirol 1 year ago
@MrCuachirol That`s all nice and dandy, but you carefully tiptoe around the question. I do not need an homily. I asked a question. Why the suffering of the innocent ?

Respond to this video...Liza, to answer your question about why he let little children suffer is not for me to answer but Him. However, what have you done to do anything about hunger, about visiting your next door neighbor who is sick, etc. You can make a difference about hunger in the world. what have you done.
Your answer is here - God created every single child and gave them life and He sustains every creature on earth. He can take anyone He chooses any time He wants.

He is not a dictator and if he were and he is the one capable of giving you life and sustaining you, what right do you have in demanding an explanation about his ways. I understand your frustration and I can feel your hurt and I also wish these things didn't happen but they do and God ordains earthquakes. He is God not you and not me.

I hope this will answer your question which I thought I answered before but here it goes --------> Yes God allowed to have all these lives to be lost.

MrCuachirol 1 year ago
@MrCuachirol you know my question sir. And I get no acceptable answers. One: God does what he wants : I cannot accept that. I can accept that from a tyrant. One other answer it is, the guilt from the original sin. Sorry, I cannot buy that either. I cannot accept that god`s justice has nothing human. To claim that we are guilty because of Adam`s sin is nonsense to me.
lizazoon 1 year ago
@lizazoon Ok Liza, for those who do not accept God's gift of life are already condemned and if you wish to remain where you are, then it is your choice. I know where I am going and only wish that you choose life and not death for your own sake. I am here to convince you, I am here to let you know what God says. Almighty God is great, He is awesome and just and worthy of all praise. I will praise Him until my last breath here on earth for my real life will begin when I leave this world.
MrCuachirol 1 year ago
So what you're asking,is why GOD, doesn't stop us, making the innocent suffer? It got me thinking about how he could do it. Well, he could FORCE the world governments to use whatever resources necessary to stop it,, or he could perform some other kind of miracle. I'm sure you would much prefer the miracle, lets be fair, what you're really after is proof. I can't help you there.Sorry. What I want to know is, why mankind is such a bastard and does nothing about the suffering of the millions.

then there are those who are wrongly found guilty of crimes they did not commit, and punished, so he should sort that out. lets not forget the murderers,rapists etc, he should stop that as well. Oh and make everyone a millionaire. Happy days all round.

God wants us to follow him no matter how bad things get. thats the way he planned it.

Everything was absolutely perfect in the Garden of Eden, where God had unhindered intimate fellowship with the Lord. However...

@shedzy I totally agree with you. My response was to the specific question as to why God doesn't help those that are starving to death in a material way? Why God allows children to be trapped and suffer under a pile of rubble after an earthquake? The lady who asked those questions is not of the opinion that giving "confort" to those who have no hope is sufficient. So I was simply asking "what physical, material action do you want him to take?" For the record, I do believe in God, :)

To see what can be done is his plan. Then you take action and you will see God's work in action because you were put here by Him and that was the plan. Have faith because without faith you have nothing. Everything you have came from God and he put it in your hands to use it the way he planned for you to use it.
