This is a pretty powerful illustration of what sin really wants for you and your life.

Why no Jesus? Let's quit talking about or around the Gospel, and do what Jesus did - TELL the Good News!

@houseguy4 Heres' the last video I posted by Real Truth Matters called "Jesus is the Gospel." It's 20 minutes long. /watch?v=IVbPCqYsUmU

[mkjerl2010]

this video is missing The Gospel.

[LaneCh]

@mkjerl2010 Leviticus 18:16 is missing the Gospel, too, but I don't throw it out because it's part of a whole body of work that does include the Gospel. I hope you apply the same principle by placing this video in the context of this entire channel.

@mkjerl2010 You're correct. It's missing a few different gospels. It's missing, for example, The prosperiety gospel; The OSAS gospel; Eternal Salvation gospel; The gospel of universalism; The gospel of easy believism; The enabling sin gospel; The do as I want gospel; The gospel for itching ears; The gospel of wolves; and the False shepherd gospel?

I think the message is clear. Sin is not your friend. And sin will lead to death.

This also holds true for the warm Christian.

@houseguy4 Praise God I don't have to solely rely on statistics about click-thrus. I rely on the Holy Spirit to use these things.

If we added everything that could be said to this one video you'd give me statistics on how many people don't watch long videos.

@houseguy4 So you want the gospel wrapped up in a nice, neat, 30 second commercial break? How can you even comprehend of giving a true explanation of the fullness of the gospel in one sentence? In America, people don't know the true God, so you have to start at square one. What did Jesus do with those who had a solid, Biblical background? "And beginning at moses and all the Prophets, He expounded to them in all the Scriptures the things concerning Himself."

@TrustinJC lol well said my friend

[houseguy4]

@LaneCh Brother, Watched it. I want to encourage you to tell it! Time is short & lots of people talk around the Gospel. Few actually tell it. This 2nd vid forced me to endure an annoying 30 sec commercial, 60 seconds of title screen, 4 minutes of lead in before the first mention of sin. Then it took 6.5 more min of talk to get to MY part of salvation. I challenge my students to say the gospel is one sentence. God sent them to us but their attention spans are short, esp on YouTube. Tell it!

[houseguy4]

@realtruthmatters I did watch the whole thing. That's my point. I waited for the solution and it did not tell the Gospel. Why not just do what we're commanded: "go and proclaim the Gospel". If the real truth matters, tell it. Yes use the teaser, but give the message. Statistics show that only a tiny tiny percent click thru a link. Why waste the audience.

I heard teasers for years before someone actually told me the Good News.

Pretty convicting Video, thought it really got the point across. Sin offers a quick satisfaction but leaves you sabotaged.

[realtruthmatters]

@houseguy4 Did you not watch the video all the way to the end? It ends with a link to where the Gospel is explained.



[habsfan170]

There was a link so people can go and learn about the Gospel. This video serves a good purpose. And for a Christian film, it wasn't too cheesy!

well done

[digitalclock]

Very sobering.
