no matter what may be going on in the life of ray boltz, god has not forsaken him...and his personal life does not dictate the awesome power of his songs, and the amazing example that even today i continue to learn from...love to ray...all stand for jesus....
I am sorry I bet your grandpa taught you well,you remember what your grandpa taight you and if you need a friend just add me I have a grandaughter who is 18 she graduated last year and my usband,her grandpa went to heaven 2 years ago and we miss him too .
God never once sugar coated sin in the scripture and pointing something out isn't judging. God abhors this sin and also will forgive if we truly ask. He was also tempted in every manner that we are but didn't give in. Whatever our excuse or how we think we were born it still doesn't excuse sin or make it justified and hopfully one day Ray will ask for forgiveness and turn from his sin.
Ok. I know my comments go farther and farther down the list but I must emphasize that this site is not for argument for or against homosexuality and that I now must add nor is it a place to argue how we deal with his sin. I agree with the above comment so I approved it but I won't approve any more argument. Thank you.
Wow man, my heart just sunk. I didn't know that. I HATE SATAN. Every leader in this last day is getting hit like crazy. We must so CLING to the cross saints. DEATH to self.JESUS!!!!!!!!!!!No comprimise.
You know I love Ray's music and i am sorry for him and his family. But we canot be a christian and take only parts of the Bible and as hard as it is the Bible is clear and Ray made a choice.And sin is sin..God did forgive the woman at the well but He said go and sin no more....this my friends is a sign of the last days!!! But He made this choice and he is in Gods hands... But it is sad how satin creeps in.....and we fall for his lies!
Very true. I really love Rays's music myself as they are soo inspirational and encouraging. I think now would be a good time for him to relisten/reread the words to many of his songs like "The Hammer", etc.
Lets all pray that the man who sung and wrote this song Ray Boltz will come from his sinful life of being Gay as he has recently announced to the world, God gave him a beautiful voice and many have been saved thru his songs and God I ask you to help Ray to get back to his christian life he onced served--God grant him mercy and be saved once again in the name of the father the son and the sweet holy ghost amen
i saw this video for the first time in 1995, not long after I got married to my 'now' ex husband. we were living in Dunn, North Carolina at the time. the Pastor of our church showed this video to the Congregation. I cried then, as I have every single time I've seen it since. even now, watching it again, it made me cry. I cannot watch this video w/out crying. so heartbreaking. :(
Thank You Mr. Boltz for making this song to Honor God. I know he must be smiling upon you now. :) Peace be with You!
We can all go to church, sit in those pews each week and soak up the message like a "spiritual sponge," but that doesn't make us a Christian, unless we truly let go of this life, and embrace Christ with all our hearts, minds, bodies, and souls. I've heard it too often that many "church members" will find their way to the gates of Hell. Being a Christian is much more than a glorified worship service, or a song. It's a new song in a believers heart that God planted there.
Nice haircut Ray! HEHE I never thought the scenario presented in this video would be a reality in my lifetime but now I'm thinking it may be sooner than I thought. God give us strength.
Satan is going here and there looking for believers to bring down in the eyes of the public; as Christ-followers it is our responsibility to recognize that fact and pray for one another when we see a fallen brother or sister. We may be up now but one day we to could be bound by a trial and need the prayers of others to get us through, Ray needs our prayers.
Let's all pray that Ray repents, that God will convict him. We all have our "sins" that we battle, this is Ray's. Please turn from your sin Ray, eternity in hell is not worth it.
To be clear, I am not accepting any comments on this video that regard whether or not homosexuality is wrong. It is the belief of the moderator (me) that homosexuality is a sin. Love the sinner (everyone) but do not necessarily condone the sin. We have all sinned and fallen short of the glory of God but that does not mean we accept our sin as inevitable and chose to live in it. Thanks for understanding and continue to pray for Ray and his family.
Agreed, closh . . . I didn't really follow his work, but many of my older friends did. I pray he turns back. I fall short daily, but don't give up on the struggle. Christ strengthens me and picks me up when I fall. To accept that your sin is natural is to say Christ's sacrifice is worthless.
In the video he says, "But son, I hope you're never put in a position where you have to choose between your faith and your life." Ironically, he has chosen his way of life over his faith: pray 4 him
I am not going to say sweet things and hug Ray as he walks off the cliff of eternity to an everlasting hell.
Ray, I hope you repent, and turn to Jesus. I love you enough to tell you the truth. Repent, because you are only 1 heartbeat away from eternal seperation from God.
Remember that in the Bible that God doesnt have a degree of sin (man does) so therefore Judging someone is as bad as whatever it is that you are judging them for so be careful!
I am completely crushed at the "coming out" news of Ray Boltz. I had the privilege of meeting him when I was younger. He was a hero in the music world to me. I hope that God will work in his heart to let him realize that he was not created that way, but is choosing to live that way. You are in my prayers Ray. May God work in your heart!
You were the first I'd heard about it but I did the research. Very sad and hard to accept for me. But your words are true - I hope God does work with him to renew his mind.
No one chooses to be gay. Romans one makes clear, it is a judgment people are given over to. The first step in falling away is also made clear in that chapter, not glorifying God by giving Him reign over our lives, and second, not giving thanks. If there is no repentance, darkness comes after.. and so on. (is. 66:3-4, Heb 3:7-8,13) It is a very slippery road we walk, and we should all take heed, who think we stand. Darkness comes in many forms. It is very sad about Ray Boltz. Hope he comes 2 see
I agree with everything you said except the first line. Everything after that gives evidence that we choose our path. He chose to dwell on those thoughts that would lead him away and he chose not to repent. Trust me, I have similar (not the same) things I deal with on a regular basis. But I give them to God. He didn't.
Ive seen this come on TBN from time to time, always extatic cuz i love the song n video so much, now that im on youtube i can watch it whenever !! Praise God what a Great song of worship!
At church a few years I signed to this song- and as I was learning the song and perfecting the signs, I was always thinking of how much Jesus did for me, and continues to do for me, how can but with respond with a pledge to serve Him? This video brings all that back to mind. Thanks for posting it.
Same here. IT makes me incredibly sad to know what so many of our brothers and sisters are going through. It's getting worse in China. I'm reading a book called "Safely Home" by Randy Alcorn that tells about what's happening in China. I'm afriad for when it comes time for America. I can already it happening.
i heard this when i was 6 years old,im 16 now,i love this song,and thanks to everyone who isnt a follower of god,who didnt get on here and bash this song:)
Well, in confession, I must say that I have this setup to approve and deny comments. I didn't want rude feedback. I'll allow honest, polite comments of any type but direct hate and crude language I don't allow.
We were testimonies for my music class in sixth grade and I heard this song and fell in love with it. It helped realize that being persecuted is worth it, because the gospel will continue to spread farther. People need Jesus.
"I am the way,the truth, the light.
No one comes through the Father except through Me." John 14:6
Remember that the cause of Jesus still goes on!! Let's all pledge our alligence to God Almighty and share His love here on youtube to all of the posters who make negitive comments about our Lord. Because He is the living God! You can't get to these people with facts or scripture, only with love, not your own love, but Jesus' love!
Hey Ray Boltz ,since I become to know Jesus your song bless my heart so mush until now ,and my pray that the lord keep using you and your song to bless other's as I experience.
this is one of the few religious songs that a lot of my relatives like. even my father who isn't that much into christain music likes this song. i am proud to say that i am christain and i will never deny him no matter what happens to me. I am also teaching about how we need to always stand for what we believe in it for my sunday school class. they may be only 4-6 years old but they understand the importance of not denying HIM. we who are older need to pass this message on to everyone we meet!
i got to listen to ray and started to go to his concerts with my lil girl that was like 10years ago where is he now is he okay coz they don't talk to you anymore and they are selling his stuff i love this music.
I first heard this song when I was in high school. Our teen choir sang it and our director showed us this video. We were a bunch of tough country boys and there was not a dry eye among us. Even now, as a paid firefighter, this is on of my favorite songs. I just hope and pray that if the day ever comes were I must stand for the Lord Jesus or die, I will have the strength. Very powerful song. God bless.
I first heard this song when I was in conformation class. It was the summer I was at church camp this song was one we would sing every night. At the end of the week we saw a mock crucifix. It all came together after seeing that and I've been a fan of this song ever since. I fall back on it when I'm in a time of need. LOVE IT ALWAYS
i love ray boltz's music, his lyrics always bring tears to my eyes, they help me and inspire me reminding that God is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and above all He's the God of love and forgiveness!!!!
This video tells about how the christians had the courage to show the sinners of the world that they are followers of Jesus Christ, so celebrate Jesus and bow before him and worship him.
This song has been a favourite of mine, I've never grown tired of it. I hope one day to seal my spot in heaven with God who's deserving of our every praise. I hope all who listen to this song is willing to stand up for Christ even in the face of death. Blessed is the Name of the Lord .. I'll be praying for you and your country of Kenya (Pynats) and for the rest of the world ...
Thnx for your prayers. Our maker heard the prayers of HIS faithful ones and He is indeed doing wonders in Kenya. HE IS A GOD OF WONDERS BEYOND THE GALAXY
It is already getting like this, misterucker. But rejoyce, as we are close to the rapture, and someday we will b ein our savior's arms welcoming us home.
i am christian and my dad plays this song and i have grown quit fond of it. Trust me i dont usually like stuff like church and stuff but thisd is one great and truthfull song (plus if my brother/friends see me listening to this i would probably be shuned so ya).
i first heard this song a few years ago. i've loved it ever since. every time i listen to it i imagine the awesome power of His love for us and how i wish i could stand there before Him and before the world at the very end. Praise be to Him, the Faithful Shepherd. The One who will never lead us astray.
I have been listening 2 this song ever since i waz very little. I never understood it then, but now i do 100%. Every time i hear it now, it gives me more hope and faith for everything. I don't have 2 worry about that day, because i kno jesus will have already came for us. Thanks 4 posting.
i hope and pray that when it is our time to do so that we do this w/o hesitation and w/ the same trust in our lord to say go ahead and send me home i won't switch allegence .
Jesus died for my sins, how can I ever be ashamed? I believe in embracing and standing up for the truth. I had went through too much, to allow anyone to stand in the way of my faith of my Lord and Savior. Jesus was with me through all of my pain, I was not alone. It is that time to take that stand!
It is believed that a great Tribulation will come in which all Christians across the Earth will be persecuted for their faith. The music video tells the story of those who have died for their faith by a man during the future tribulation trying to explain to his child why he needs to be strong as he watches his father be taken for execution...
...The characters represented in white periodically through the video are those who have received their reward in Heaven for their martyrdom on Earth. Does that give you the answer you need?
I have loved this video since i was little. This is truly a heartwarming song that always brings tears to my eyes. I love it, this is how it should be. So many would not stand up now though sadly. I believe one day in the future though, this day will come again when every Christian will be put to the ultimate test.
God has shown me the truth. And I was never the same again. He set me free, from the bondage that separated me from his son. I gave my life to Jesus, and then, my life was his. I am alive! Because He Lives! THAT'S AMAZING GRACE!
I don't believe that anyone can strip away our ability to worship God. They can take away prayer in school, but they can't stop people from praying. We don't need a formal time organized for us. As ubelievable as it seems people have their freedom to worship God robbed from them more by organized religion than they do anywhere else. This is song is wonderful. Let's pledge allegiance more to Him than to what man builds.
It is so scary to think this could actually happen, that my children could grow up in a world where they are not allowed to freely worship God. It is time to take a STAND, to not allow our rights to be stripped away, one by one.
Jesus died for my sins, how can I ever be ashamed? I believe in embracing and standing up for the truth. I had went through too much, to allow anyone to stand in the way of my faith of my Lord and Savior. Jesus was with me through all of my pain, I was not alone. It is that time to take that stand!!
I agree 100% with you. I am 18 and I'm afraid with where the world is heading. When I have kids I don't want them to have to chose between their life and their faith. I fear that day is coming closer with each passing day.
This was a very good video. It really moved me. Christians need to stand up for what is right and stand against the evil in this world. If I had to make the choice between my physical life or Jesus. I would choose Jesus. I'm in love with God and God's in love with me. This is who I am and this is who I'll be.
may God bless you
Be a radical Jesus fanatic and witness to people by both words and lifestyle.
may God bless you. It is time for Christians to love Jesus with all their heart, soul, mind, and body and be willing to lay down their life for their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
Thanks, you are really sweet and right. I am heading to Africa to be a missionary, and I have recieved a lot of criticism over it. People think that a single woman going to a Muslim country is stupid, but I haven't found a man who wants to go with.
So I agree with you because that is what it is all about, is loving Jesus with all our heart, soul, mind, and body, "or with all I am."
I heard something about that. Aren't not only the Muslims killing Christians but also people in Africa? I was told they they will kidnap children & cut their limbs off and then give them back to the parents. Is that true?
I'm an African and a christian from kenya and i havent heard any one being killed because of their faith. I'm glad that kenya is a christian Nation even tho they've tried introducing some islam laws in some regions which am glad it hasnt materialized. Christians wherever you r remember kenya and pray for peace in my country.
I come form Kenya too and thank God for fellow christians like you. i believe we are getting healed at a faster rate because God has promised that if His people who are called by His name pray He will hear us and heal our land.God bless
I have seen this video 5 years back in God Channel. It really made me understand that this world is not our home. Heaven is our home and Jesus is Lord.
you what is sad is that it is happing and us christians are doing nothing to stop it. the government that was blessed by God long ago is now trying to take his name out of everything and before every meeting and before they do anything they pray. tell me how that makes any sence
The bible fortells the day that of which is coming. The question is, ARE YOU READY? All that He has said, is coming true. It is only a matter of time now. According to the bible, Fire will do what water did years ago. God be with us all on that day when Jesus returns, or call us home.
How many of us who call ourselves Christians will be able now to give our lives for the course of His work without giving one excuse or the other even from the Bible. May The Lord God help us all live steadfastly for Him to the very end in Jesus name. Amen.
The first time i heard this song i waz 6 in the church with my grandmother god rest her soul and it had such an inpact on my life then and even today. I hav been looking for this song ever since then and i havnt found it till now. Thank u.
this is a good song

I am not going to throw stones.
If Mr. Boltz is struggling with this particular sin, i don't think that he is going to be damned if he dies before he overcomes it.
We are all sinners, saved by grace.
Please don't tell me that you are sinless.
I am not condoning his sin, but i believe that Christ died for His elect.
I am not going to be the one to say whether or not Mr. Boltz is one of them.
And i am not going to judge him, either.

Will your anchor hold in the storms of life,
When the clouds unfold their wings of strife?
When the strong tides lift and the cables strain,
Will your anchor drift, or firm remain?
We have an anchor that keeps the soul
Steadfast and sure while the billows roll,
Fastened to the Rock which cannot move,
Grounded firm and deep in the Savior's love.
Jesus is the answer!

Remember that the cause of Jesus still goes on!! Let's all pledge our alligence to God Almighty and share His love here on youtube to all of the posters who make negitive comments about our Lord. Because He is the living God! You can't get to these people with facts or scripture, only with love, not your own love, but Jesus' love!

God sent His son, they called Him Jesus
He came to love, heal, and forgive.
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives.
Because He lives, I can face tomorrow.
Because He lives, All fear is gone.
Because I know He holds the future,
And life is worth the living just because He lives.

this is one of the few religious songs that a lot of my relatives like. even my father who isn't that much into christain music likes this song. i am proud to say that i am christain and i will never deny him no matter what happens to me. I am also teaching about how we need to always stand for what we believe in it for my sunday school class. they may be only 4-6 years old but they understand the importance of not denying HIM. we who are older need to pass this message on to everyone we meet!

I first heard this song when I was in high school. Our teen choir sang it and our director showed us this video. We were a bunch of tough country boys and there was not a dry eye among us. Even now, as a paid firefighter, this is on of my favorite songs. I just hope and pray that if the day ever comes were I must stand for the Lord Jesus or die, I will have the strength. Very powerful song. God bless.

It all came together after seeing that and I've been a fan of this song ever since. I fall back on it when I'm in a time of need. LOVE IT ALWAYS

anythingnew 4 years ago
It is believed that a great Tribulation will come in which all Christians across the Earth will be persecuted for their faith. The music video tells the story of those who have died for their faith by a man during the future tribulation trying to explain to his child why he needs to be strong as he watches his father be taken for execution...

...The characters represented in white periodically through the video are those who have received their reward in Heaven for their martyrdom on Earth. Does that give you the answer you need?

I don't believe that anyone can strip away our ability to worship God. They can take away prayer in school, but they can't stop people from praying. We don't need a formal time organized for us. As ubelievable as it seems people have their freedom to worship God robbed from them more by organized religion than they do anywhere else. This is song is wonderful. Let's pledge allegiance more to Him than to what man builds.

This was a very good video. It really moved me. Christians need to stand up for what is right and stand against the evil in this world. If I had to make the choice between my physical life or Jesus. I would choose Jesus. I'm in love with God and God's in love with me. This is who I am and this is who I'll be.

Thanks, you are really sweet and right. I am heading to Africa to be a missionary, and I have recieved a lot of criticism over it. People think that a single woman going to a Muslim country is stupid, but I haven't found a man who wants to go with.
So I agree with you because that is what it is all about, is loving Jesus with all our heart, soul, mind, and body, "or with all I am."
Thanks for the encouragement!

The bible fortells the day that of which is coming. The question is, ARE YOU READY? All that He has said, is coming true. It is only a matter of time now. According to the bible, Fire will do what water did years ago. God be with us all on that day when Jesus returns, or call us home.
