Appreciate your honesty doc!! But all of these so-called church advice is a lack of teaching as it relates to the MANDATE of the CHURCH. This discussion again proves that probably why so many people are tuned out and turned off is a misunderstanding of the fact that the church is not just a place. It is the Body of the Lord Jesus Christ!!!
Zhara, sometimes I watch from work🤫...therefore I can't press the like button. When I come home, I watch again and oof course smash the LIKE button. 🙏❤️🇨🇦
Going to church is good. Great actually. I agree with the points. However, when you understand why the physical temple in Jerusalem was destroyed Matt 24:2 "There shall not be left here one stone upon another..." and Matt 23:38 "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate" it was symbolic. The true temple is us. Our heart/mind. Christ dwells there, not in a physical building. If you attend church day in day out and Christ doesn't dwell within you, he isn't "there" with you. YOU ARE THE CHURCH. Gathering together even under a tree is where "the church" would be at that time and its where God will be if he is in you. The church he will return for is NOT a building, not a denomination, not tradition and culture BUT, a people. Love❤❤
That #5 hits home for me. I lived in Japan for a few years, and the closest International SDA church to my home was 6 hours away. This experience helped me to partake and celebrate the Sabbath in a totally different way being outside of the physical building. I spent Sabbaths in gardens, parks, and at the beach with my blanket, my Bible, and prayer journal. It was refreshing and powerful for me to spend the Sabbath in nature with the Creator, and then a few weeks at a time meet up with others within the sanctuary . Fast forward a few years and Covid hits while I was back in Jamaica. When people were up in arms about the physical building being closed, that didn't bother me one bit, because from experience I know that being inside the church building every Sabbath does not mean we are actually "keeping the Sabbath". #my2cents
This conversation is so open and frank.The way you both answer the questions and the explanation given had me in stitches but these advice from church people is so real in most churches. Good job from a young married couple.
Being over 10yrs older than you guys I am happy that I found persons who are brave enough to talk out and who shares the same sentiments I did all those years ago. I was considered to be defiant and unruly because I didn't see things the same way older adventist did. Continue to do your thing guys. Love it!❤️ Happy Sabbath🙏
Don't buy anything after sunset Friday. What do I do if my pay reach late and houe empty? Stay hungry till Saturday night? Lol They said the Lord will provide lol
It is said you must be in your house after sunset so how someone should take food to you. Also Sabbath people do not want visitors after sunset. Cannot understand I am happy that thinking has changed
What is that person are saying you should not answer calls on Sabbath, no one knows the cause of a call. It can be sickness or death call, or notify of danger ahead ( road block or shoot out)
Definition of REALNESS: XyZ!!! I've learnt to sift through people's opinions from a young age. I'm so grateful for the spirit of discernment and parents who were very open with me. As to the "get baby 👶" as soon yo married 😒 Let's just say people learned early NOT to come to me with foolishness!! You ah help me mind pickney??? 😏
@@adventuresofxyz22 Yup. They don't even stop to consider if people want more kids (in my case, I already had a son and my now deceased husband had 2 kids), if conception is an issue etc. You cah even enjoy yo honeymoon without talks about baby. Thank God, me change because back then, my mouth had no brakes 😶
God need to multiply my bank account first!!!! Agree!!! I literally had a convo about the rules yesterday!!!!😮 The didn’t say that you need to go to church to have fellowship 😅 Number 7!!!!!!! Hit the nail on the head!!!!
Having babies before you are ready is not joke, don’t be pressured, ignore that advice it’s terrible stress. Take it from someone who was pregnant in first year of marriage, we did not fall for the pressure from people but because of health issues. 32 years later and I still wish that wasn’t the case.
Hi XyZ couple, I am truly enjoying your vlogs. I am a Sunday worshipper but we are all children of God. I am twice your age and I am learning so much from you both. I shared your vlogs with all the young people I know. Keep up the good work children of God. This generation needs your advice and practically.
I am very happy that you guys decide to choose this topic. I have been a christian from my mid twenties. In my church I was taught not to court and after 17 years of marriage we are now divorced. The main reason is that our advice especially from the elders were so hard and fast on us spiritually and emotionally. How can you get married to someone you don't know there flaws and strength and it's during the marriage all the mask is revealed. Yes we fasted throughout our marital counseling sessions, we prayed, very involved in most church activities and even have a chaperone on a date. On my wedding night I cried because I honestly know that I did everything the word of God says and hoping that I was fully prepared for this journey. My final say is that until the church prepare us realistic for this journey marriages like mine being so innocent is now a victim of divorce and it hurts to the core because I did the right thing by living by the word of God. I pray that no one else suffer in this way. Appreciate your videos and will continue to share with my clients and coworkers . Bless unu
Although I wasn’t brought up in the Adventist Church, I had a similar experience. I know God doesn’t love divorce but I can’t find it in me to be sorry ( I divorced him after 20 years)I did EVERYTHING the church said I should and soso grief. It pays to know God for yourself!
You're spitting facts..... just today i was saying that the things the elders tell you is not always relevant for now, the world is changing, things are changing
We're really sorry to hear about this and that you had to go through that. Maaayne, some people can impact our lives in such strong ways and they're well meaning but often misguided. Thanks for being open with us and sharing your story. We're sure, that this comment will add value to someone reading this in the comments. Blessings!
Counseling is not the pkwy to living a godly and successful marriage. Be careful of the persons who say they are marriage counselors. True love for Christ will strengthen your spiritual love and communication as you grow in your marriage. Love till death you do part. I love you guys and I appreciate your approach. ❤️❤️🌈📖🌺
Choices challenges and changes are true factors for growth. However especially in some churches young people can be wonderful assets in the church. I can attest to that.
Lawwwd Gee...don't let them come for XyZ enuh...but so much truthhhhhh here! Listennn ! We must talk truth man! Church pppppllll we have so much to unlearn and relearn!!! That part about rules Vs relationship!!
5. There a literally so many ways that Jesus also spent time.outside of the synagogue on the Sabbath. Remember when He did the Sermon on the Mount, when He walked in the corn field with His disciples? Ok.
I am so happy to see young Adventist Christian people on this platform. We the older SDA needed this in our younger days. I’m so looking forward for your other videos.
Oh my goodness!! Guys I am way older than you are, but wished I had people like you to talk to then.I'm so happy to see the younger folks a little more open and conservative compared to when I was your age, at times I felt like l was stifling because of the strictness. You are both so refreshing and I just love listening to you, continue to be who you are, stay blessed. Happy Sabbath. ❤️❤️
Having positions in church does not save us. However, God has blessed us with abilities that we should use to strengthen the brethren . The church is also a body of individuals. Plans are necessary for the smooth flow, hence positions are assigned. Saying again, positions wouldn't take us to heaven or naked us better Christian but will advance the work of God.
Blessings to you both ..it is so sad how some of these Christian behave they act too perfect they are the one why alot of these young people don't want to go to church only God alone is perfect
I agree with you guys, even though we need to go to church to fellowship. We can go and experience fellowship at a park, like having a nature walk, or having a Bible study with friends at times. I love to go to church every Sabbath, but I also like nature walk, are have quiet times
Number 6. Is definitely true omg 😱. I live overseas and I miss worshiping in Jamaica. I used to think like this when I was in high school and I never survived church because of it. On another note, I’m glad I found this channel.
"Women should wear a hat (cover the hair) else it's better to cut it (keep it low)." "You should not use phone in church, use the hard copy bible and hymnal" The hymnal and bible on my phone seem to be incompetent. "You must not light stove on the sabbath" as if I'm going to eat cold food. "S*x should wait until sabbath finish. " I wonder if God didn't bless it between a married couple. A few comments I got when I started out at sda church. What do you think? Great video BTW. Thanks for your commitment to the xyz family.
If I love Zahra one more time! I became a Seventh Day Adventist very late in life and I was surprised when one Sabbath a brother complimented me on my outfit only to take it back and apologize. He said Sister White said that shouldn’t be done on the Sabbath. Yuh know surprise! But I left it alone 😂😂😂😂
Hey guys sunday or saturday dont worry about what people have to say, you were on a mission for God and I always love to hear from Xundrae and Zarah. Blessings.
Thank you for another motivational video these are the kind of content that help other Christians in their walk to eternal life it helps to clarify mixed thoughts...Always a blessings watching you guys love you both ✌️
Also a newlywed and mighty God! Wah mek dem no leave we alone?! Also the Pre-marital thing is facts. Truly. If a marriage doesn't work - did they go premarital counselling? Yeah man... that's why. Like seriously. ugh.
Its #10 for me! And its ridiculous when yuh find out theres a whole hierachy within the the board. Imagine being told that there are suggestions and decisions you can't make on behalf of the department you represent and serve, because "you are NOT an executive member of the board"🤣🤣🤣
Having grown up in the church, a lot of what you mentioned resonated with me. I love your candor and transparency. Keep up the good work. Blessings for 2023!
Zara, as always, your hair is fabulous 👌 I heard everything that was said, but my focus was on your hair. I just love you both. Your honesty and openness are truly appreciated 💗
That's one of the reason why young people leave the church because of structure. For eg. So a church formulate the order in which the Sabbaths or Sunday worship is to be kept and so they follow that pattern only because that's how it's been done for generations so they keep on following the same order which not only gets boring overtime but shuts out God because you arent allowing his will to flow through days proceedings so sometimes for e.g. God wants to do praise and worship before Sabbath lessons but because of order/culture you keep sabbath lesson before worship. So the notion that you should do a particular thing a certain because that's how it's been done traditionally is by very far from the truth of God
Hi to both of you! Your husband needs to take on the role of a PASTOR!!! He is such a good teacher ! I can really listen to him speak all the time an don’t get bored. Very interesting topics I must say!!!! Well done!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good food for taught I just love watching and listening to you guys you are really meant for each other you are a breath of fresh air to mind body soul keep up the good work you will be greatly rewarded👍❤️♥️🙏
I have church in my home as a Community we minister outside in good weather praying for our community will surrender their souls to the Lord. When people don't want to come in building, sometimes being outside help to draw them closer to the Lord.
There are times when it may be necessary for us to forgo the church setting to strengthen ourselves or as you rightly say bond with you friends in the Lord. Be guarded though that it's not a social but a spiritual renewal
I think you 2 needs to come to Trinidad, some of those youths will looove the convos with u;I am no longer a member of any church but I still believe in the sabbath;I always had issues with some of the " Adventist beliefs "they keep doing the same thing and expecting different results...I got a lot of advice from older church members and it didn't come from a good place;keep those videos coming ..
Every Church/Denomination i kno always ask young pple about babies as soon as the ink dry on the certificate 😐i believe it because of poor socializing...in other words.they don't kno what else fi sey..so they say what comes easiest...not for all because some pple just think babies are a sign of healthy relationships😒as sad as that sound
Yess to everything yall said, especially the idea that true worship is Eurocentric. I totally disagree with that. Heaven is gonna have all kinds of musical instruments for worshiping.
No. 10 : This is not discussed enough. I believe that you can can do work for God without having an office in church. We equate having an office with working for God. If we are not surrendered to Christ and he does not have our heart we can be in an office in church but working for the devil. Sadly, we equate business with spirituality when this can be so far from the truth.
Xaundre ... the amount of time you had to apologize!!! ... lol! ... Love unno! On the matter of pushing boundaries - especially intimacy in relationships - the size of the step doesn't matter as much as the direction in which it leads. We should pursue purity as a direction. Purity isn't a line, it's a direction - are the things we are involved with helping us to head that way or not?
lol right bro, apologising is my thing now . And yes, you're on point with this for sure. As usual, always so deep in your thought process lol. Definitely gonna steal this one "purity isn't a line, it's a direction"
Amen to everything you said. It's time someone had this conversation. We love rules. My God I just feel that Jesus must roll his eyes sometimes when he listens to us and watch us put on shackles he came to take off us. All because some Christians feel we must try achieving perfection and their Utopian view of what that looks like here on Earth. If you're not careful you can live your whole life existing and not living, as I'm finding now in my early 50s. Indoctrination can hurt, man.
Sure eating well and exercise may help keep away many illnesses, however that doesn't mean one will be 100% protected from getting chronic diseases. Sickness comes with the fallen world
"Nothing could be further that the truth" came about three times lol Xaun the bar keeps getting higher 😂 Things a get more and more further from the truth man 😂
Bwoii...idk why church leadership mek it seem as though the expression of ministry, service and giftings needs to done predominantly (or even solely) in the church... I think it's part of the reason why the ppl of the world see a lot of Christians as hypocrites... U always ina church and a 'do the right things' there, but in your secular spaces you're a poor representation of Christ... Conversely (& slightly off topic) I remember being soo actively involved and present in church during a very difficult time in my life and no one thought anything was wrong, because I was showing up. Compared to no being present for weeks on end, being in a better place and people assuming in their inquiry of me if 'something is wrong' why I not in church. Make it make sense!
Is true Xaun i feel the same way u can't do the same thing all the time and expect to reap a different results or to grow overall .... my God man I love you guys for being so down to earth in speaking what is truth and not what cultural taught or society taught u 💞💞💞💞 nuff love 💞💞
Always look forward to sit back relax and listen to you guys, so much to learn and gain from you both. Eventhough I’m way much older than you are I’m seeing life in a much different and positive perspective especially in Christianity. Thank God for you guys and for the way you both are so humble and allowing yourselves to be use and led spiritually. Looooovveeee you my favorite XYZ couple, blessings and more blessings ♥️💝💕😍🥰❣️💞🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This felt so much like a podcast episode in real life. I love it here! Thanks for sharing as always guys.... Ive heard (if not gotten) almost majority of these.....
Worst advice: Christians shouldn't go movies because of Psalms 1:1.. can't SIT in the seat of the scornful 😓 Sooo Deacon that means I mustn't go school nor bank nor... ANYWHERE. Lord help us
Both of u are so informative!!! Your husband need to take on the role of a PASTOR OR a marriage counselor!!! He is a very good teacher. He does not hold back on certain topics
I love this video.. My ex husband think he didnt need to be rich cause it a go make him sin n go hell, hungry almost kill me n his child nakedness etc, I was sick n suffering from malnutrition it go on for years now we separated because he refused to work say the birds of the air don't work etc. My Christian life mash up n marriage but trying to let God fixs it I cannot see my self back with him either. Long story.. Glad for these pointers am sure other Christian hear these too
So sorry to hear about your story. He's a lazy man who has used God's word in the wrong way excuse himself from his God given responsibility as a husband. God's word clearly says: "By the sweat of your brow, you shall eat bread." Also, " It's a sin to feed a lazy man."
Oh boii, I'm so sorry to hear about that. S Clarke said it beautifully... the bible admonishes us to work for our sustenance. I'm happy to know that you have been able to see beyond that ignorant viewpoint and I pray that he will also come to that appreciation one day 🙏🏾
Watching you guys watch the video and not smashing the like button 👀👀👀👀
We smash the like button before we comment hunny bunch 😘 LOL, hence my multiple comments when I've actually watched 💅
Zar me nuh affi listen unuh first. As me come on mi jus press like caz unuh always str8.
Appreciate your honesty doc!! But all of these so-called church advice is a lack of teaching as it relates to the MANDATE of the CHURCH.

We need a part two !!!
Let no one pressure you about having babies. Babies ain't no joke. You have to be prepared physically, mentally and emotionally. Take your time.
We appreciate you!
Happy sabbath guy i just love to listen to you guy.
So true
I second this, we planned our baby and motherhood still kicking my ass lol have kids on your timing!!
Don't forget financially , babies can't live pon water and air, just saying !!🤔babies requires money.
Sometimes having so many positions become so burdensome that you have to take time off from church to avoid being burnt out.
This is it!
I learn so many new words each time Xaundre speaks. First 2 mins... pervasive! 👍🙃
Him vocabulary tall mon
Big facts!!!! Lol....I be on my other phone "googling" the definitions lol
This is hilarious lol , I don't even realise

The worst Christian advice I’ve heard is if you miss any part of service don’t miss divine because it’s the holiest hour
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 this is a good one, I’m rolling , because I use to believe that one . -Zhara
Lawks yes. And AY can't be done in the morning. Like why? Why can't we have the same discussions we have in AY during Divine hour
@@JustShannaBE I was gonna say the AY one 😅😅
This conversation is so open and frank.The way you both answer the questions and the explanation given had me in stitches but these advice from church people is so real in most churches. Good job from a young married couple.
I'm an adventist and I feel all of this in the core of my soul. Sometime we can be so legalistic I feel like we are no different from the pharisees.
No different!
Being over 10yrs older than you guys I am happy that I found persons who are brave enough to talk out and who shares the same sentiments I did all those years ago.

Having grown up in the church, a lot of what you mentioned resonated with me. I love your candor and transparency.
Keep up the good work. Blessings for 2023!
We appreciate that! All the best for 2023!
Zara, as always, your hair is fabulous 👌 I heard everything that was said, but my focus was on your hair. I just love you both. Your honesty and openness are truly appreciated 💗
Aww, I appreciate that!
Yes, Zara's hair is ''goals'! 👍
That's one of the reason why young people leave the church because of structure. For eg. So a church formulate the order in which the Sabbaths or Sunday worship is to be kept and so they follow that pattern only because that's how it's been done for generations so they keep on following the same order which not only gets boring overtime but shuts out God because you arent allowing his will to flow through days proceedings so sometimes for e.g. God wants to do praise and worship before Sabbath lessons but because of order/culture you keep sabbath lesson before worship. So the notion that you should do a particular thing a certain because that's how it's been done traditionally is by very far from the truth of God
Exactly
This video was very amusing yow🤣😂😂😂😂
lol
Me afi go research all them big word deh xaundre use 🤣🤣🤣🤣😍😍😍😍
😅 always !
Hi to both of you!
Your husband needs to take on the role of a PASTOR!!!
He is such a good teacher ! I can really listen to him speak all the time an don’t get bored.
Very interesting topics I must say!!!!
Well done!!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Good food for taught I just love watching and listening to you guys you are really meant for each other you are a breath of fresh air to mind body soul keep up the good work you will be greatly rewarded👍❤️♥️🙏
lol Pastoring is not for everyone. RUclips is fine for me right now. Thank you tho!
hello eunuch mash nuff corn innuh!!! love it and I concur with every point
I enjoyed the this video as always but your hair was my main focus. Just love it.
Aww, thank you so much!
Same....beautiful hair
Agree ,so many ways you can have worship, you don't have to go every sabbath ,we need to take the church out to the world as well.
You guys hit the nail on the head
Thanks for this.
I have church in my home as a Community we minister outside in good weather praying for our community will surrender their souls to the Lord. When people don't want to come in building, sometimes being outside help to draw them closer to the Lord.
I am bit down lately.. but I just have to watch you guys.. BEST CONTENT.. I GET TO FEEL CLOSER WITH GOD IN A SAFE ZONE
Aww Rush, we know that it can't be easy at all. We're so happy to add a little joy into your evenings! Much love!
There are times when it may be necessary for us to forgo the church setting to strengthen ourselves or as you rightly say bond with you friends in the Lord. Be guarded though that it's not a social but a spiritual renewal
Absolutely love this❤❤❤
Clear cut and detailed.
You two are beautiful together.
May God continue to bless your union❤🙏
Thank you so much for being a part of our family!
Xaundre always have the big words even when him a try simplify 😂
I think you 2 needs to come to Trinidad, some of those youths will looove the convos with u;I am no longer a member of any church but I still believe in the sabbath;I always had issues with some of the " Adventist beliefs "they keep doing the same thing and expecting different results...I got a lot of advice from older church members and it didn't come from a good place;keep those videos coming ..
lol We're willing to come, invite us ! Our email is in the description!
Enjoy unuh Marriage let no one stress unuh.
Thank you!
I love this session. It is real thing about people. Sometimes they make feel you will loose out in God's kingdom if you do not do things like them.
“God needs to multiply my bank account first”
Which is right
lol right thru!
Every Church/Denomination i kno always ask young pple about babies as soon as the ink dry on the certificate 😐i believe it because of poor socializing...in other words.they don't kno what else fi sey..so they say what comes easiest...not for all because some pple just think babies are a sign of healthy relationships😒as sad as that sound
Poor socialisation has a lot to do with it for real. They don't know how to have any other meaningful conversation!
Mi can hardly find broke people inna the Bible. I just want to be rich enough that I still remember God and do his work.
lol facts!
Yess to everything yall said, especially the idea that true worship is Eurocentric. I totally disagree with that. Heaven is gonna have all kinds of musical instruments for worshiping.
Spot on!!! Also add 11:00 am service is more sacred than Friday night and Saturday evening.
Whew! That's a hot one!
No. 10 : This is not discussed enough. I believe that you can can do work for God without having an office in church. We equate having an office with working for God. If we are not surrendered to Christ and he does not have our heart we can be in an office in church but working for the devil. Sadly, we equate business with spirituality when this can be so far from the truth.
You've said it all 💯
I am glad I found you guys. A breathe of fresh air. Lots of wisdom and sound teachings. God bless you both.
Bless you too! Thank you.
Xaundre ... the amount of time you had to apologize!!! ... lol! ... Love unno! On the matter of pushing boundaries - especially intimacy in relationships - the size of the step doesn't matter as much as the direction in which it leads. We should pursue purity as a direction. Purity isn't a line, it's a direction - are the things we are involved with helping us to head that way or not?
lol right bro, apologising is my thing now . And yes, you're on point with this for sure. As usual, always so deep in your thought process lol. Definitely gonna steal this one "purity isn't a line, it's a direction"
Amen to everything you said. It's time someone had this conversation. We love rules. My God I just feel that Jesus must roll his eyes sometimes when he listens to us and watch us put on shackles he came to take off us. All because some Christians feel we must try achieving perfection and their Utopian view of what that looks like here on Earth.
If you're not careful you can live your whole life existing and not living, as I'm finding now in my early 50s. Indoctrination can hurt, man.
That last part! "you can live your whole life existing and not living" . Powerful Auntie Karen!
Sure eating well and exercise may help keep away many illnesses, however that doesn't mean one will be 100% protected from getting chronic diseases. Sickness comes with the fallen world
100 correct! The best we can do is stack the odds in our favour
I literally just got married (May 22, 2022) and from about the first week of June people be asking if the baby is on the way.
We can relate!😒
I love watching you guys. I learned alot from you. I consider myself a new convert and I am inspired by your conversations.
We're so happy to be a part of your journey! Much love!
"Nothing could be further that the truth" came about three times lol Xaun the bar keeps getting higher 😂 Things a get more and more further from the truth man 😂
haha, we're rolling!
Indeed: individual and couple counselling are both important!
Absolutely! Thank you.
Blessed Sabbath to my favourite Couple!!❤
Have a great one!
I am from a different denomination but I agree with all that you shared...God bless you all
I just loving these content what you are sharing with us .Thank for your hard to put these contents together
Thanks so much for watching! We appreciate you so much!
You r welcome 🙏
Bwoii...idk why church leadership mek it seem as though the expression of ministry, service and giftings needs to done predominantly (or even solely) in the church... I think it's part of the reason why the ppl of the world see a lot of Christians as hypocrites... U always ina church and a 'do the right things' there, but in your secular spaces you're a poor representation of Christ...
Conversely (& slightly off topic) I remember being soo actively involved and present in church during a very difficult time in my life and no one thought anything was wrong, because I was showing up. Compared to no being present for weeks on end, being in a better place and people assuming in their inquiry of me if 'something is wrong' why I not in church. Make it make sense!
This right here is big facts!
I love you guys, your content is so wholesome 💕
haha! This is hilarious!
Can I just say 😂 RUclips fit Xandre enuh you’d have think he started this thing long time 😂
Lol,right! Is fi him space -Z
Is true Xaun i feel the same way u can't do the same thing all the time and expect to reap a different results or to grow overall .... my God man I love you guys for being so down to earth in speaking what is truth and not what cultural taught or society taught u 💞💞💞💞 nuff love 💞💞
Always look forward to sit back relax and listen to you guys, so much to learn and gain from you both. Eventhough I’m way much older than you are I’m seeing life in a much different and positive perspective especially in Christianity. Thank God for you guys and for the way you both are so humble and allowing yourselves to be use and led spiritually. Looooovveeee you my favorite XYZ couple, blessings and more blessings ♥️💝💕😍🥰❣️💞🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Thanks so much for watching! We appreciate you so much!
This felt so much like a podcast episode in real life. I love it here! Thanks for sharing as always guys.... Ive heard (if not gotten) almost majority of these.....
Thanks Richelle!
We are the church we can worship God at home or wherever you are
This!
Sooo good, I always enjoy these sit down talks because I know you’re coming with the knowledge. Thank you both.
lol we'll try to throw some more in!
@@adventuresofxyz22 Thank you 😊
Don't let anyone add any stress on you
Thanks.
Bad Advice: He grow up in church so you safe. (Mold and cob web grow during covid in the church too) mi cyah handle it.
This right here!!!
Worst advice: Christians shouldn't go movies because of Psalms 1:1.. can't SIT in the seat of the scornful 😓 Sooo Deacon that means I mustn't go school nor bank nor... ANYWHERE. Lord help us
It more relies on the context. The cinema was seen as a scornful place back then. Not sure how it is now in these perilous days.
@@jevonollivierre4646 Sounds like we should have a debate on this topic
Sounds like we definitely should
Both of u are so informative!!!
Your husband need to take on the role of a PASTOR OR a marriage counselor!!!
He is a very good teacher.
He does not hold back on certain topics
Jesus went about doing good on the sabbath day outside by the sea, in the streets ,by the mountain side.
He surely did!
Xandra, I personally don't believe I have to be formally dressed to go to church. Church dress should be a lil more free.
Exactly! I'm with you on that one
Thank you so much for highlighting these. We’ll stand with you against the holy angry mob
haha , we appreciate the support Ntini!
I love this video.. My ex husband think he didnt need to be rich cause it a go make him sin n go hell, hungry almost kill me n his child nakedness etc, I was sick n suffering from malnutrition it go on for years now we separated because he refused to work say the birds of the air don't work etc. My Christian life mash up n marriage but trying to let God fixs it I cannot see my self back with him either. Long story.. Glad for these pointers am sure other Christian hear these too
So sorry to hear about your story. He's a lazy man who has used God's word in the wrong way excuse himself from his God given responsibility as a husband. God's word clearly says: "By the sweat of your brow, you shall eat bread." Also, " It's a sin to feed a lazy man."
Oh boii, I'm so sorry to hear about that. S Clarke said it beautifully... the bible admonishes us to work for our sustenance. I'm happy to know that you have been able to see beyond that ignorant viewpoint and I pray that he will also come to that appreciation one day 🙏🏾
I love you guys so much! Keep them through Jesus and strengthen them lord so they may continue to pour into others the good message. 🙏
Amen! Thank you.
I am totally in agreement with your answers to the questions 👍
I am over 50 yrs.and i have learn so much from you .
