Tenth Avenue North - "Strong Enough To Save" Video Journal

[purplechub]

That's the goal, to separate us in every way, it worked on you, and the sad thing is you dont even realize it.

[purplechub]

@runningwithGod13 People freely give their divine power away when they think that someone is going to save them. Your lifeguard scenereo implies that people are weak, which I agree, but they are weak because of conditioning. People have lost the connection, so many desparately cling onto religion to make up for the void. It is one of many illusions. Research our ancient history my friend.

[EAmeda7]

@purplechub I would like this 100 times if I could.

[runningwithGod13]

@purplechub our "power" isnt just weak, it is an illusion. thoughts in our head. God only has power. If your a christian. Your love for God shouldn't be about your religion, but your relationship with him.

[purplechub]

wrong! God doesn't save people, it starts with yourself, no one is gonna save you but yourself. "Be still and know that I am God" = Go within yourself, meditate, connect. God is in each one of us, we are like little drops in the ocean, we are all part of the creator. :)

[runningwithGod13]

@purplechub Just because God is in each of us, doent mean we save people. God is the only one who saves people. Its like this: you dont know how to swim. your drowning, your dying, and a lifegaurd jumps in the water to save you becuase you can't save yourself. That lifegaurd is God, without him you would have suffered because you cant save yourself

[Pokkiebear2]

That 1 dislike is from me.. i accidently missed the like button.... MY BAD! I LIKE THIS VIDEO I HIT THE WRONG BUTTON... SORRY

[CoLoRfUlLKiLeEr]

every time I wach these things I just love themm I am so ashamed ov my self I love god he is the best....... and u guys went to my church u were my favorite band [ and CANE WE HERE AN ''AMEN??????????'']

[TheFrostyPage]

God is Amazing, he aslo has the most amazing plan for us all. Everything happens for a purpose. And God will choose why and when :)

[iiTzAmberMarie]

Wow... I had a situation with someone I know that's EXACTLY like this and now I know not to ignore it or change what I say and do around them... Thanks TAN :)

[TheMirandaPeters]

these 'speeches' are eyeOPENERS!!!

[bandgeekshortie]

He doesn't need us, He WANTS us!

[MalloryJames1]

Thankyou Tenth Avenue North! You are so amazing...God is so amazing!!

[shortstuff307]

We get to be apart of just telling people ; Look, You can't save yourself, but we know someone who can & He is strong enough to save you.

<3<3<3

[ABurningHill7]

Yahuah is calling, WAKE UP O SLEEPERS

Hear, O Yisra'el YAHUAH our ELOHIM, YAHUAH IS ONE!

And Yahushua the Messiah was created by Yahuah!!

Revelation 3:14 The Amen, the Trustworthy and True Witness, the beginning of the creation of Elohim says this!

So many are decieved. Wake up! See with your eyes and hear with your ears!

Your arguments are invalid, YAHUAH has spoken! Who has ears to hear?

[TenthaveFan316]

@ABurningHill7 HAHHAHAHAHAHA you Mormans are so funny!

[ABurningHill7]

Whats so crazy is that what your speaking isn't even from the true Creator. Heres how you know. Test every spirit by the Spirit. Whoever denies the Son has not the Father.

There is no Trinity. There is no Oneness. None of those doctrines are biblical. I tell you the truth- there is One EL (Mighty One), YAHUAH. Numbers 23:19 EL (The Mighty One) is not a man that he should lie, nor the Son of Man that he should change his mind.

Yahushua who came in his Father's name was a Man, the mediator.

[FarAwayDistance]

Ya'll are one of my favorite Christian bands. You're incredible. <3 God bless all of you. Your music is amazing. God has given you all SUCH amazing gifts. I'm so thankful for my ears to hear your beautiful music.

[tacticianjenro]

People should share this more often.

[HBCworker]

wow, that line that: God's the one that saves, not us. All summer I worked at a camp, and our director ( who is fired now ) said that are goal here is to save people. I remember some older staff getting mad at him for saying that. I understand now why. We help, we're not here to save everyone. wow, LOVE YOU TENTH AVENUE NORTH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you so much for doing what you do. You guys are pretty amazing, and I love you guys for doing what you do. God bless you.

[OneDayCloserToHim]

I loved this message, thank you for posting it.

[jaydenceanderson]

"And so that also gives us great hope for even the most hopeless case. Even, you know, you're looking out at a street and you're thinking: that guy, th-ha-at (he laughs while saying that) guy is hopeless, there's no way!" I loooove that part! :D

[graysonxxx232]

god saved me :)"

[bugalabugalabim]

"

You can't save yourself but we know someone who can , nd he strong enough to save :)"

[lala33blablabla]

God I love you

[na61389]

Thanks a lot for the message....I always felt bad everytime people react in a negative way when I share Jesus to them....

[JesusMuZicINC]

Amen.....!!!

[twomiracles]

Thank you so much for this message. I am watching this through tears as I have been praying for 7 years for my husband to come to Jesus. He is now my ex husband, (he left) but I have not stopped crying out for his salvation. I thought that I had somehow failed God when he didn't come to Christ because of my prayers.

[PeterKimRulesSchool]

Guys. Let Me Hear an "AMEN!!!!"

[TheTheLydiakwano]

@PeterKimRulesSchool Amen brother

[NicArgent9]

@PeterKimRulesSchool AMEN!! But I will say... this song has become my anthem regarding my own salvation... both spiritual and temporal.

[iservHim]

@PeterKimRulesSchool AMEN!!!!

[TheFantastic73]

@PeterKimRulesSchool

I just got a lesson yesterday. Amen is one of God's name (Rev. 3:14) We have to be careful of how we use it, and not just use it for anything. I don't know I just thought it was interesting, but I agree, this video was powerful. God bless. :)

[nhinzdyosa]

i just discovered your band and music ... AWESOME!!! I will share your music =)

[christinekuan]

Thank you for this video when i felt like i was too weak to do something for god. god bless you, your videos are amazing

[dadisfad]

you know what you made me realize? God is complete, he isn't a trinity, he's a circle. Three points make a circle, the trinity makes a circle. Complete, and we all fit inside it.

[BeccaAndJenn]

this is me everyday...... being a 12 year old surounded by peers who swear, lie and do alot of things its hard for me to stand up and tell them about Jesus and it hard to tell them to stop it but in the end if i try Im alone and excluded....

[Warriorcatslover01]

@BeccaAndJenn That happens a lot to me

[soldier4christ14]

AMEN!!!! Thank you so Much! You have encouraged me to not worry what will happen when i speak to someone of Jesus Christ. He is the one who is strong enough to save..All we have to do is be that message.....BE THE MESSAGE.....

[gwenweedon]

Thank you MIke! you get it! Yippee!!

[Masterdoom9999]

i think god does need us couse in one story in the bible when the people of god where slaves he USED them to semd the rain of frogs

the moskitoes

and the people's oldest son died(of the bad guys)

[kgrand235]

God is SO wonderful. I'd love to talk to anyone out there struggling or striving in their faith.

[tenthaveandrelientk]

Thanks for everything you guys taught me about god. Mike is my role model.

[TheForkingSpork]

Woo! I can't wait to see you guys this Thursday! :D 

[MsInchristalone]

It is true, God doesn't need us! I never thought about if before but that is so true! Thanks guys!

[Breadbeecp]

"God doesn't need us." That hit me like a slap in the face.

[gregnheb]

If God doesn't need us why does he say that we are his bride? I know i need my bride. And The Lord is One lord not a trinity. All the fullness of the Godhead was in Jesus Christ. Colosians 2:9. Truth is Jesus is God and all the fullness therein! and we will be his bride one day! He may not need us int he sense we need him but he desires us to be with him or he wouldn't have paid such a price! God bless

[SeanLovesYou1000]

The word of God is living and active, and as you can see:it lives through us thru his bible, his people, and most of all The trinity, that God cares about us so much that all of the father was born in the son thru the holy spirit to save us from damnnation if we only believe, amazing

God bless all :)

[imad5100]

you should be a pastor someday. your so inspirational and I love these video journals.

[NikkiEmilee]

I love these video journals! They make me really think about my relationship with Jesus. You guys really have a gift.

[PanHead271]

My process of writing songs seems a lot like yours Mike, I do a journal, based on like an idea or something that goes on in my life, and take it and make a song. I feel like there's a lot more meaning to them. And I love the way you teach this. It's stuff we dont even realize we're doing until we here it put out there like this. Oh and I hope I can see you on July 7th, you guys are doing a concert at Emmanuel Wesleyan and I play in the youth band, maybe I can get a couple musical pointers =)

[Momentsnoticeband]

GREAT VIDEO

[CHARLOTTEadnams]

I always look forward to your Video Journals, so I am just looking back at some of the past ones. They are all so amazing and make me really think. Thank you for that!

[10thavenuenorthfan]

mike is awesome tenth avenue north is awesome but God is the best!

[cheerkimberly62]

I am so overwhelmed by your videos everytime i watch any of them. This band is a product of God, I firmly believe that! Keep it up guys, God is changing lives through you!

[cheerkimberly62]

I am so overwhelmed by your videos everytime i watch any of them. This band is a product of God, I firmly believe that! Keep it up guys, God is changing lives through you!

[EtherealPanda218]

These journals really are so inspiring. Truly God is amazing.

[londonlinds]

"stop taking the supernatural out of salvation" yes!

[flyleaf1357]

Woo finally a video with zero dislikes!

[InMemoryOfUs]

@flyleaf1357 ...someones gonna dislike it just cause you said that :(

[flyleaf1357]

@InMemoryOfUs

[flyleaf1357]

@InMemoryOfUs Its been 2 weeks since I said that, so I hope not!

[thejesusIlove]

I think that how I grew up. it's the same way as Mike.....:D, I have to carry on preaching to every person I knew...Because God can save every person in the world...

[clhromeo]

Exactly! I really liked this vid. It's truly not about us, it's about letting Jesus shine through us and letting God use us because God has all the power, and if we try by our own might, we just get in His way.

Just keep your heart open to what God wants you to do and you will be amazed by what He can do through you if you let him.

[ikeike12345]

I love this group, yet, may be the fact that im jewish yet have my own beliefs, i cant seem to agree with his video logs.

[LilCorpJanie18]

I love Tenth Avenue North. Next to Keith Green, they are the only CCM group that really speaks into my heart and convicts me. God bless.

[Reomanter08]

I think thats not totally true, because i think he doesn't know all the natural laws that exist in this universe. I think that we have to work for what we believe in, that makes us part of our own save. We can save ourselfs along with god, and i dont think god doesnt need us, you don't know that, its moething this guy just think. In fact i believe that we are part of god, and that we need each other as people.

Happy holidays!

[sswimgirl66]

i love @2:30 best quote ever

[meganbaer11]

this is the first time i've watched one of these journal thingys.. this is great! he tells it jusst like it is ya know.... n idk i love it :D

[ditcherme]

hey tenth avenue north. :D continue to inspire people thru your video journals. by seeing them, im loving ur songs more and more knowing that they are not just feel-good songs, but theyve been thought and somehow, they bring comfort to everyone! Glorify God! :D God bleSs you guys, and bless God thru your talents-which are from Him too. XD. :)

[njrox1220]

Dear Tenth Avenue North,

I am always touched by you guys! :) you are a great band with amazing intentions! i fell in love with the Light Meets the Dark! I'm in my freshman year of high school and things are hard...but you guys get me out of sticky situations all the time!

Thanks...for everything <3

[musicacount09]

excuse me i masterbated and i felt terrible my heart was pounding like "what have u done?" and i was really shaky i felt like hitting myself and its relly really bad because god says that our body is the temple of the holy spirit and by doing this the holy spirit and i have just fallen from getting a step closer i have done such an unholy thing.... i know gods forgiveness wont be a problem but my holyness will god says be holy cause i am holy i cant believe i did such a terrible thing.

[ditcherme]

@musicacount09 you cant save yourself dude, youve got to allow God, i mean, it has been my struggle too, but know that God called us to live a pure life, therefore we've got to fight with this, we should not allow such to defeat us. what we dont conquer will conquer us eventually. but we have God, but God needs you to surrender. flee away if you know the temptation is near, and dont dwell in ur past dude, God doesnt keep any record of wrongs. :) He loves you, trust Him. :)

[estherliewian]

@musicacount09 well you are not the only one having this problem. I do.

[xxSweetSacrificex]

@estherliewian

As do I.

I think it's safe to establish that we are not alone in this.

[Littlefoxnj]

Love the song and your words of wisdom!!!

[MWwallalsomeman]

wow your awesome, and so is God!

[SilverxBurst]

Isn't it awesome that absolutely NO ONE disliked this video? :)

[forevablessed3]

True that....its all about us stop thinking that we live for ourselves....we live for HIM...for we are not here for our pleasure but for HIS....we need to switch the way we think & become the true servants that we are!!!

[AmericanGirlANA]

you are an inspiration.

[moonstars5678]

Wow, you honestly have no idea how much that 2 minute 49 second pep talk did for me. Both my parents are strong atheists and it's just really hard cause i'm trying my best to save them, but this helped me remember that God does the saving. And ya'll were really good today at six flags at arlington:) Thank you for the video journals!

[Likety]

@moonstars5678 Save them from what?

[BenevolentVapor]

@Likety Everyone needs to be saved from their sinful nature. That's the short answer and I'm pretty sure that's what all Christians mean when they use the word "saved" in the context of ministering to other people.

[Likety]

@BenevolentVapor No one needs to be saved from anything.

[musicacount09]

@moonstars5678 ok nice u broke the cycle of ur family im pretty sure gods really happy with you.

[skilletfan47]

I love these videos.

[kellynlesliejane]

Thank you for this. :)

[1992alexandmayra]

your great mike....

[VampireDiariesVlogs]

“Somewhere along the line we believe this lie that God needs us. The good news is just the opposite, God doesn’t need us. Acts 17 says, “God’s not served by our hands as if he needed anything.” That’s a terrible blow to my pride but it’s also the best news I could hear." Agreed. <3

[JacknCoke750ml]

A good friend of mine in Michigan introduced me to your band and I cannot get enough of listening to the CD "Light meets the dark" because of the messages that are delivered in the songs. These video blogs are awesome because I can then learn more about the true meaning behind the song; not too many artist take that extra step.

Thanks

Gary

Davenport, FL

[xCATALYZT]

What is the passage or verse you are talking about in the Let It Go video?

[leexxyounghwa]

wow 0 dislikes. One of the first Christian videos I've seen like that. And this is really inspiring, and to a lot of us a shock. God doesn't need us, We need Him to fill the void.

Love the song :) I just started listening to you guys today and I've already got songs stuck in my head :) Praise God.

[tenthavenuenorth]

@chuckegraham many of the video blogs were shot while on the road during the winter jam tour

[servant4cj]

hey so I was talking to a friend of mine in a christian band and he said that a lot of christian bands dont come to utah cause they think that only mormons live in utah and so they dont think they would sell any tickets. but im from utah and hey its gotten so its like half mormon and half other and i know a ton of people who would love to see you in concert and i know some mormons to. so if mormons came to your concert then you would have a chance to change there hearts so you should come! :)

[g24man44]

I love these videos! they are so true! and truly inspirational!

[salestin]

My Christian friends introduced your band to me a couple of months ago. And your songs, especially By Your Side, gave me hope. :)

[JonAarm14]

This message is so true, i had a friend i thought would never be saved whenever I talked to him about jesus he would find someway to argue about it and he would just laugh and turn the radio up so I did what i could and i prayed hard for him and i got the best call last week that he accepted jesus as his lord and savior i was so happy i hit my knees.

[XxblackheartlightxX]

wow ... most messages say stuff like ... you need to tell everyone ..(pressure pressure) but this ... i find this more truthful to me than all the other things.. its pretty much all the things i thought of but at the same time never considered.. thanks fo r making this vid..

[JesusLovesPiano94]

From first hearing this song and watching the video journal, I didn't think I would apply it to myself very soon.

Tonight my friend told me she has very little faith. And it's pretty hard to convince her of things if she doesn't want to believe, but I feel like I might be getting through to her with the messages I hear from this song and other songs. And it helps even more to have the video journals.

So thank you.

If you don't mind, please pray for my friend to be encouraged and lifted up(:

[mar0vess]

This is amazing.

Thank you.

[scriptures777]

dude your soo awesome Tenth avenue North is one of my favorite bands :) God is the one who saves people :) how did yall get your name?

[FreeFireWT08]

Thank you just Thank you i went to your last concert at reed arena in colledge station and ive been kina questioning the lord in my head kinda like i believe your real but i really wanna make sure can you help me o and p.s. love your new album it rocks

[servant4cj]

you guys make the best videos. you should make a lot more cause honestly you are a lot better than my pastor. haha but so i had a question for you. so the only way i have access to your music is buy illegally downloading it and i feel really bad cause you guys dont get the profit or whatever and i dont feel very good doing it but your guys music is incredible. so this is a stupid question but do you guys get really pissed when someone downloads your music illegally? sorry! :-/

[TSmity2]

This is so great! Thank you so much! You're certainly pleasing God :) I play Christian music too but a different style. But I'm thinking of going more contemporary and worship but I don't know what to do :p

[407remixplayer]

Wow I thank God firstly and then you for this video. The words that you spoke really hit me hard. Me being 16 and the leader of our youth praise and worship group sometimes I feel like its up to me to do a lot of things, but I know that I can rely on God to do what he does best and just let Him be Him.

[yvonnet333]

Thanks dude this helped me because I felt like that before. Thanks!!! :)

[act4life8]

Seriously Your journals are some of the best things that could have happened to me, haha I've commented the same thing on all the ones i watched but its true! you opened my eyes to see the situation differently and changed me for the better...please do more!!! :} And you guys should do a video showing all your family and pets, that would be fun!

[JuliaMusic101]

Y'all are such an inspiration to me :) Thank you

[lackingapathy]

Wow, this was so awesome. God definitely spoke through you :) Thank you for the encouragement!!!!!

[Bojangles4699]

he is an amazing person

[musicfan383]

Thank you so much for posting this. This had always been a problem for me i've always been nervous talking about jesus to people im a very timid person. I've always felt like it was my duty to try and change people and it takes a big wieght off my shoulders to know that its not all on me to change someone. And im really excited to see yall at student life camp this summer in Denton, Texas!

[thegadgetfreak93]

Could you guys please come to the Boston area? You guys have encouraged me so much spiritually and I would love to see you live and possibly meet you!

[peterleicher]

Awesome song! Would love to try it with our worship team! Is there a Chord book containing this song yet that we can purchase?

[woodtrevor21]

Another great video journal from a blessed band. Glad for them...for sure!

[findthelostsheep]

Hey tenth North....i was wondering How ya'll got started...Do ya'll write your own music? If so How does it come to you ive been trying to write one and it doesnt seem to be working Love u guys :D

[sumaznrice]

i saw you guys last night at ocean grove in NJ, and you guys were AMAZING! i was so happy you guys played this song :]

[BornTheLegacy1]

You got a way with words. That's for sure, keep up the good work with your music.

[solachristos2]

thinking that we are the ones who chose God rapes God of his glory..of course that is impossible, God will always be glorified but looking deep down we're saying that Christ isn't strong enough to save us on his own..that he needs our yes/no answer..... but Thank God its not so... Thanks so much for making a video about this .. It shows that our life is for his glory, every good we do is for him, by him, and through him. man, we got an awesome God! how can we not glorify him ?!? sola dei gloria

[Multiplexing13]

You guys are such a blessing! Thank you. :)

[BigJarrhead777]

legit. super legit

[gb494]

hey guys, you all's songs have gotten me through some of the toughest times of my life and i cant thank you enough. keep up the great work

[elizaa1234]

what happened to the other guy that was in ur band did he leave the band or something

[charlieglasgow]

these are awesome, guys.

[joshuatranmusic]

I'm in LOVE with this song!!! GOD is strong enough to save! amen! please check out my piano cover of this song! God bless you guys :]

[aliveinhim1]

woah i like heard this song. and its on my ipod and God Bless tenth avenue north

[SpeakingLouderThanB4]

amen, mike. i keep saying it, but its true.. i am so excited about this album.. not just cause its new music from my favorite band, but because of the message...

[tenthavenuenorth]

@Ice74Queen we're not completely sure what you mean by this - are you having trouble watching them on the youtube app? it's not intentional, so any details you could give us would be helpful!

[Ephesianz320]

these video journals are awesome! it's kinda one of the reasons i like you guys as a band...you don't just make music to make music...there's always a purpose behind it which is really cool

[laxmusicartlove]

Can't wait for the new album!

[ExtremeFaithInJesus]

I just posted this video to my website!

[tenthavenuenorth]

@ExtremeFaithInJesus thanks!

[ExtremeFaithInJesus]

@tenthavenuenorth Usually bands don't reply to my comments so thanks. Now that I see you do reply, I've got a question. Would it be alright if I were to upload a video for your song, "By Your Side"?

[tenthavenuenorth]

@ExtremeFaithInJesus sure go for it!

[leelandmooring]

very cool. agree completely.

[drumman8807]

wow this was just what i need as i've been talking with an old friend recently who doesn't know Jesus. thanks for the encouragement!

[lollypop2143]

Haha, you add a little funny in your videos and I like that (: Good Job!! and So true! God Bless you! <3

[12sionara]

Nice work again on this video journal. Kudos to the camera director. Kudos to God for giving you those words to speak. Keep seeking Him and living for Him. You are in my prayers. :)

[femiluv]

Wow..that was so awesome and true...more video journals please!!

[jesstiger2010]

I'm mind blown...in a good way. Thanks for sharing, Mike. God Bless.

[BenevolentVapor]

Thank you so much, Mike! It is such an encouragement and so true.

[baaboo1]

So true Mike! God bless you guys!

[danielsommer4]

are you a pastor? if not you should be

[zealous121]

I can't WAIT for the new album. Your first one came to me at a perfect time and helped me deal with some ridiculous stuff. I could go on and on about how God has used you in my life. Be encouraged that He will continue to do just that. God is amazing through you guys, and I love you!

[GameFreak4Jesus]

@zealous121 well, he just preached. I would like to know if Mike, Jeff and Ruben are pastors myself. Get back to you on this one

[xSummerJoyx]

WOWW. This relates to exactly what I've been dealing with this week. Dealing with my bestfriend who seems like the most hopeless case for accepting God's love because she just doesn't want it. I kept trying to present it to her in different ways so she'd get it. But it's not ME who saves, it's God. this just helped so much.

[CrrAzZYyY]

i enjoy these journals, please, do more of them. they help me to understand. God bless you, Thanks.

[LivinForChrist90]

@CrrAzZYyY I def. agree with u on the journals that Tenth Avenue does. GOD Bless those guys.

[refugefromthestorm]

make more of these videos!!! they are great!!

[ShabahSaz02]

Good job Mike!! :)))

[jonasfan324]

gah...bad computer won't load it past 45 seconds :(

[syferboy]

Amen Mike

[rchlkatherine]

I definitely understand what you are talking about Mike. I grew up feeling the same way. It is so intimidating to tell people about God.

[machogriz]

These video journals are awesome! Can't wait for the new album.
