The Parable of the Ten Virgins (Matthew 25:1-13) Jack Marti

[ConsideringHim]

Yes, she was a Godly lady. I look forward to Resurrection day when I can see Jesus, and see Dawn again as well!!! Hastening the day.....danna

[ConsideringHim]

She had several of your tapes. She was a slender, tall black lady you would have likely met in the late 80's/early 90's. At any rate, she passed away; I have the tapes of your music still. She was a very Godly woman, and God used her to tremendously impact my life. Google our web page at Closure for Jesus to hear more....appreciate your music! I have a Taylor 12 str. left-handed. Nice!

[guitmartiman]

@ConsideringHim She sounds vaguely familiar. I may have met her @ a camp meeting we used to have every year around that time near Clifton, TN. It's possible I might also have met her @ the Hope International camp meeting in Washington in 1987, or the Little Grassy Camp meeting in 1989-90. We distributed a lot of tapes around that time, and met a lot of people, and wouldn't necessarily remember all their names, but it sounds like she was a really godly person. It's nice to hear stories like this.

[ConsideringHim]

Do you remember a lady named Dawn Jenkins?

[guitmartiman]

@ConsideringHim No, I can't say I do, actually. I've met a few people named Dawn, and a number of people with the last name, Jenkins, but I don't particularly remember a lady named Dawn Jenkins. It's entirely possible that I have met her, but where should I remember her from?

[paisleyyama]

Really good song.

[kwanglanka]

i couldn't listen well to the lyrics. Can you subtext them, please???

[kwanglanka]

can you subtext the words you say??? I can't listen that well. Sorry for the inconvinience.

[wweberpal]

Great song! I wish I could write music like that. By the way I am looking for a songwriter. And I'm also trying to form my own group of musicians. If you know of any please let me know. Thank you! Wayne

[karensera]

It would be nice to have a whole CD of the parables to music!

[guitmartiman]

Actually, that thought has occurred to me. That may be my next project.

[Jacki79]

beautiful!! wish i could play the guitar.. so i could play for Jesus. You are blessed!!!!

God Bless you

[MrRunningwolfe]

Great Song...I love it. God bless you !

[gabieize]

beautiful! =-) inspiring..

[treasureinvessel]

to have our lamps burn is not to quench the spirit , and to be joint to the Lord, so that he knows us in our inward parts and we know Him and the power of his resurrection.

[slapstickiniquityki]

"Jesus bids us shine with a pure clear light, Like a little candle, burning in the night in this world of darkness, so we must shine. You in your small corner, and I in mine"

[SierraNevadan]

Absolutely beautiful!

I love your scripture songs.

A warning that should sound far and wide.

Be prepared for we do not know the day or the hour.....

[morning2004]

Beautiful song and message. I love your version of the song.

[hrumphga]

You know, Jack, tghis is one of those parables that we don't think of too often, but then we hear it again and go, "Oh yeah!" A beautiful setting of a great lesson. Keep them coming! Jeff

[guitmartiman]

Thanks, Jeff. May you always have plenty of oil for your lamp.

[spit316]

Mondegreen alert!

Lovely song. First time I heard it though, I got distracted and heard: "Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto Denver Jim."

[guitmartiman]

LOL! Well, I'm glad you listened more than once!

[blubberblink]

May the light of the five wise virgins shine brightly in this midnight hour of the end! Let your lights shine people of God!

[blubberblink]

Do you want to escape the coming troubles? It's simple... seek, knock, ask - Matthew 7, Luke 11 - Seek God (where, the Holy Bible). knock (enter at His throne - pray at His alter). Ask Jesus Christ for the Comforter to dwell within your heart. Welcome God into your life. Then you are one on one with your Creator, you walk with God, and shall escape. He will take care of you! This is the annointing of the five virgins.

[junipertree4me]

sure was a good comment. yep. 10 virgins, 5 wise,5 unwise then that means all 10 saved, baptized But only 5 recieved the Holy Ghost. Seems there must be a wrong understanding being taught, all 10 did the right thing, & only 5 went in, the True Holy Ghost filling will make you live all the Word not just mans perceptions of truth. Truly the 5 unwise missed the filling and the End comes. Our God meant for us to live every word of his Word. Hebrews 13:8 ct

[wastedguitar0]

Great song! Liked the performance. Keep it up and God bless you.

[cdkkiss1952]

Great song..You have a great voice..Easy to listen to..This reminds me of how the minstrel singers of old would sing of Jesus..Wonderfully inspirational..Thanks for shareing this with us..I am going to 5 star this and sub your channel...We need more inspirational things here on YouTube..Craig.

[liacraw]

Thank God for devices and opportunities such as laptops, the Internet and Utube or we could not come to know such works as these. The words encourage truth. Your awsome. Thank You.

[liacraw]

You and your wife are perfect examples of what talented people like yourselves should be going after. Only through his word (being Jesus) do we have the hope of being saved. And more so now as we "see the day approaching" (Heb. 10:25). I admit the talent I see here is a gift that can only be inspired and endowed by the Creator.

[jennifervawter]

I really like this one the best. This is a great song. Gods love for people is amazing. God be with you my brother.

[guitmartiman]

Thank you, and blessings on you as you continue to "study to show yourself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth." 2 Timothy 2:15

[HillsongFan]

I love this bible story ´cause every time I read it, it keeps me awake for God´s son comes like a thief during the night... I like your version best..

[captiva2007]

man i hate jesus shit but you sound like you know what you're talking about (a big puzzle of words.)

[guitmartiman]

Yes, that's what a parable is. I don't know if I know anymore than you do about what I'm talking about, but I think I understand what you mean. There is a lot of counterfeit and frankly whacked out "Christianity" out there. Thanks for your comment.

[branman2288]

mm smells like jesus .. .thats a good smell! :)

hey are you influenced by chick corea ?

[guitmartiman]

I have listened to Chick Corea, but it's been quite a few years ago. If I have, it's probably been subconsciously. Thank you for your kind comment.

[gijsforever]

Very nice atmosphere in the song. Interesting. Laterzz Gijs

[meeno112]

i like this!

[hiddentalent123]

Pretty song

[SummerStrawn]

Another good one!

[btksangel]

Thanks for sending me your videos.. Be bless to many people n it's awesome. Keep Praising The Lord!! God bless u..

[TheFreedom]

Thanks for sending this to me, this is pretty awesome. I really like how it sounds, and the lyrics are pretty good too. Certainly an amazing song of praise. Thanks for uploading it. Godbless!

[guitmartiman]

You're welcome! And thank you. I appreciate your feedback. To God be the glory!

[jiji45]

Thank you for the video. You know jack, I don't really think about this everyday, but this is a reality that should push us to keep going but all the way not half way or 90% or 95%. This song is surely a wake up call for me that I have to be ready 100% or otherwise I'm going to be left behind.

[guitmartiman]

Yes. This text speaks very clearly to the error of the doctrine once saved always saved. Virgins represent those who know and believe the truth. They all had lamps which represent the Word of God. They all fell asleep, which means the spirit was willing but the flesh was weak, but the foolish did not have a supply of oil which represents the Holy Spirit. That can only be obtained by a continual daily abiding in Christ.

[Abbey7]

Well said. At this point, I kind of consider you to be one of my best YouTube friends, and this pleases me. You're doing nice work here - and my mother and father have viewed you and love your work as well. "A continual daily abiding in Christ!" - a very good notion!

[guitmartiman]

I'm honored that you think of me that way. Did you get my e-mail about needing your address so I can send you the CDs?

[Abbey7]

lol! I did. Let me send you the donation first and then you will know where to send them. I would like them as gifts for my father (a barber shopper). I have a few things financially to deal with (first of the month stuff) but am in good shape. The Lord has blessed me so greatly ( I don't necessarily mean financially but a great family, friends, etc. - you know!) I'll send a check about 10 or so days into April!

[nancyleeould]

Beautiful!

God Bless~Nancy

[guitmartiman]

Thank you, Nancy. God's blessings on you as well.

[dabiribd]

Beautiful song. Thanks

[guitmartiman]

You're welcome, Ben. Thank you!

[acousticaddic]

Wow, I really like that kind of song, without precise time or even century to compare with. Great great bravo ! Keep going Jack you're a great.

[guitmartiman]

I have found the Bible to be full of songs just waiting to be discovered. I'd love to hear some of David's psalms the way he sang them accompanied by his harp.

[shawnmcnair1]

sounds great man. ever considered doing that tune from the bible turn turn turn. to everything their is a season. i think the birds sang it not sure.

[guitmartiman]

Great idea! I'll add that to my list!

[AmericanVikings]
