Marriage today is struggling. Divorces, adultery, misconceptions, etc are plaguing not only the marriage itself but products of those marriages (my generation and the next). My hope in this poem is to highlight the most frequent and problematic issues marriages face today while also pointing to Jesus as the ultimate healer, redeemer, and restorer of every marriage. Whether single or married, my intention would be that this poem would allow you to look more deeply to Jesus to either better your current marriage, or prepare for your future marriage.

For the people asking about the watch: http://t.co/hTvSMGP
they give 10-25% of their proceeds to jesus loving non profits.
Also, ps, we know we misspelled "repentance" at the very end, and could have re-uploaded but didn't want to discount all the shares/comments people have already contributed. So thanks for that, and thanks for the grace on the mistake :)

    God is also our invention. Nature points nothing towards a god, the things you feel on your body when praying and stuff, are already explained by psychology, and are easily testable and reproducible without a god. Gods were created to explain things we couldn't understand, to give us a false sense of knowledge and meaning. If you study how the most accepted nowadays god came to be, you'll see he makes as much sense as Zeus once did.

    "I'm here to tell you how to live your life, cause I believe in one of the many gods without foundantion that man invented, but fuck logics, I'M THE ONLY ONE RIGHT, do what I say, or your relation will have no foundantion and will suck."

    By the way, statistics say you're simply wrong. Good job lying to people cause you just take for granted all the bullshit this "sacred" book tells you and don't really research stuff before trying to teach something. Good fucking job.

    SO... Your trying to convince people that god is made up by expressing your opinion which is fine. But If what your saying is true then maybe we should live by our own standards and do what we want or maybe we can live by what yours? Can you tell me what is right or wrong? Because what your saying is that god's standards (dont rape, kill, ext.) is "imaginary" and "made up" like ONE of the "greek god'S" "Zues"

    You know, people also state that. That their god is the "one true god." This is such a circular argument and holds no credibility. I find it mildly annoying to be quite honest. May I ask that you take the time to read about past religious beliefs? Ahh the plant a seed into the heart analogy. Put it like that and it sounds quite beautiful doesn't it? Something you'd find in a well written poem or something along those lines. I apologise if I seem rude, but would those people be young children?

    But this isn't just some "god" we're talking about. We're talking about the one true God who has power over all of the universe, & He has you in the palm of his hand. He gives us a free will to chose him or not, He isn't forceful. It's our job as followers of Jesus to plant a seed in the hearts of non believers so that you might take another look at who He really is and want Him to come into your life. He will, just let him. Until you realize how great He is, the choice is yours. God makes sense

    Yes, it's hard to convince anyone on youtube commentary, that's why I encourage people to search for what I say on yt and google.

    I think you didn't get my point, if actually go without any beliefs in anything, and search the truth about yahweh, you'll see he makes no more sense to believe in than Zeus and thousands of other gods, you're not making a win-win bet, you're making a win in 1/100000 bet. I'm just saying, it makes no sense, I'll live and not worry about god. I worry about people.

    Nothing I type on this computer will probably ever change your mind on your beliefs, I mean you seem pretty biased, then again so am I. I just choose to believe in a god that gives me hope, and I am willing to take the bet that if I die and I am wrong then I just sleep forever. However if you die and you are wrong then you will be in torture for eternity. Are you really willing to make that bet?

    Religion is man-made,

    I don't believe anyone should practice religion.

    Therefore I agree with your middle paragraph thing.

    I agree with you, that's exactly how I think about it.

    If God doesn't exist (which I believe strongly that he does exist) then what do I loose? Nothing. I just die and that's the end of it (like atheists believe happens)

    But if I am right and God is real, then I get rewarded the greatest reward ever; eternal life.

    but if you're wrong, you get the worst possible thing; Hell.

    I'd rather play it safe, than take that gamble!
