The Parable of Ernie

Ernie is a little dove I saved after his next fell from a tree.

I had no experience raising a small chick, but I did the very best I could. He did make it to adulthood, and there is a great Biblical lesson too.

Your video had me in tears, thinking of all of my friends who do not know Christ and are without hope.

[bibleortraditions]

There is always hope until they take their last breath. This is why we must present the Gospel to them. They may shrug their shoulders now or even make jokes. We may even feel uncomfortable approaching friends. But in the end it is all worth it and they will thank you for teaching them.

[silmalila]

They do far worse than shrug their shoulders and make jokes. There are former friends of mine who are filled with hatred for me. Others make outrageous and foul comments about the Saviour, which is more than I can bear. Usually my attempts at leading people to the Lord are met with derision and ridicule.

I gladly play the fool for Christ, yet I have yet to lead someone to Him.

I will continue playing Johnny Appleseed, however.

[bibleortraditions]

I am really sorry to hear that they make jokes, but try not to be too discouraged. We just do our best and remember that it is the Holy Spirit that ultimately brings people to salvation. What one man plants, another waters, and the Holy Spirit makes it grow.

The pope is the antichrist who controls the new world order. The pope is the anti christ the lord jesus warned his people about. The prophecy of the bible warned us that the anti christ would come out of the divided roman empire kill Gods people change the sabbath day and glorify himself as high as christ . The popes achieved fullfing Gods prophecy conserning the anti christ. The pope and his jesuits worship satan secretley they are serving satan they control the freemasons and illumanati

Thank you for Your Sweet message about Ernie, He or She reminds me of The Dove, the Holy Spirit leading us in all truth. Let us pray for the Dove, the Ruach Ha Kodesh, who will lead us to bring Praise unto Yashua Messiah. Shekinah Glory fill us with your annointing oil and keep us under Your Wings. Psalm 91. Peace and Blessings!

Thanks bro for sharing. There is no security in this world, only Jesus Christ can offer any form of security. No matter how much we care for someone or something, our care alone is insufficient, their security is not found in us or another but only in the God of creation through Jesus Christ.

I watched this video a long time ago, and today a found a baby dove that was alone on the ground. I thought of this video soon after. I am trying to take care of this baby. What kind of stuff did you feed him? All I can get him to take is water. Any advice you have would be appreciated.

Kind of broke me what happened to the bird after seeing how happy it looked on the pictures.

[GodsTwoProphets]

Well put.
