Good message. I am glad that God has given me the opportunity to be alone, because I now see the needs of those who don't have anyone to "gather with" or be the favorite one. I see the damage that favoritism can do first hand. I consider families and close friends an "emotional luxury". Not sure if you get what I'm saying, but now I know what favoritism and clicks entail - it shuts out those who are really in need.

@st0rmgal thank you for your kind words and i understood every word you said there. favoritism definitely shuts people out even in families which is the sad part. i keep everyone in my prayers, especially those who's eyes are spiritually blind and can't understand why favoritism damages others including their self- esteem and confidence in themselves.

@sammo21001 -true, what I mean by families is that without them, we are on our own, and therefore weakened. Our families are not only those that are flesh and blood but the Christian congregation (body of Christ). When we have divisions - which is what the enemy wants - it debilitates us in our walk. This is what I have learned -unfortunately, but I thank God that I have gone thru the experience, because now I know what *not* to do to someone who's going thru the bullying that you brought up.

@st0rmgal great comment st0rmgal!

An interesting lesson... I can see what you mean concerning some of the christian leaders but I have to point out that your use of the term "The rich hate the poor" is a huge generalisation. Bill Gates donates a huge amount to poor people and there are stars like Robin Williams that on hearing that a member of the public didn't like their latest movie refunded their money from his own pocket. In the main you are probably correct but there are still good rich people.

@Tony62254 excellent feedback Tony! there are some good rich people out there and i'm glad you've pointed that bro. in james chapter 2 when he was talking about the rich hating the poor, he was actually referring to wicked rich folks who only thinks about power, control, and world domination. thanks for your comment Tony, you're awesome!

Very good message Brother. God is not a respecter of persons. We should not be either.

Very good video, Sammo. That whole situation has to do with pride, the "original" original sin (Lucifer fell when he gave in to pride.) It's very sad to think that people expect themselves to be the standard others live up to, rather than the Lord God.

yes. Its sad, and its serious. Christians on youtube that do not unite with the body. Some are almost unreachable. Very sad
