To Bart my mom is from Greenville, they were very poor and she and her family were Cotten pickers growing up! I have fond memories of Greenville. I inherited a piece of furniture from the air base that used to be in Greenville. I still have family there , my grandparents last name was Ford ! Westley Ford did some ministry there. Also to add my cousin is in home building in Greenville Ricky Walden and I have David Ford and there families. All very good people. My mom is now 95 and will turn 96 this next January, the sweetest woman I know never said a bad thing about anyone never smoked nor drank any alcohol ever . Wish I could say that about myself 😳
I absolutely absolutely love the song imagine :) and I love the fact that mercy me is firm in their music. And their love/pursuit of Jesus. And I’m super super super excited about Heaven. And seeing all my family members in Heaven someday soon. And absolute/genuine real true love is all about my Jesus thank you Jesus for everything :)@Matthew West Podcast

I will be sorely disappointed if Bart and Matthew never write, or at least sing, a song together after this. ❤🎉
I was blessed to attend Mercy Me in Boston 1 year ago. Perhaps the best concert of my life. Thank you for coming to New England.
This was so good! You both are extremely gifted and I’m glad you allow God to use you to speak to the world.

Bro, please upload LYRIC video of - BECAUSE OF BETHLEHEM -
Genesis 7:11-16
"11 In the six hundredth( 600) year of Noah's life, in the second month, on the seventeeth
(17th) day of the month, on that day all the fountains of the great deep burst forth,
and
the windows
of the heavens
were opened.
12 And
rain fell
upon the earth
forty( 40)
days
and
forty ( 40)
nights.
13 On the very same day Noah(😊❤) and his sons, Shem and Ham and Japheth, and Noah's wife and the three wives of his sons with them enter the ark, "( Genesis 7:11-13 ESV so far, a family of 8 member again Noah(😊❤, 1 ) and Noah's wife( 1), Noah's 3 sons and their sons' own each one wive = or 3 = the three wives of his sons with them entered the ark. )
Now resume back to Genesis 7:14-16
"14 they and every beast, according to its kind, and all the livestock according to their kinds😊❤
, and
every creeping thing that creeps on the earth, according to its kind😊❤
, and every bird, according to its kind😊❤, every winged creature😊❤.
15 They 😊❤😊❤ went into the ark with Noah(😊❤), two( m + f) and two( m + f) of all flesh in which there was the breath of life.
16 And those that entered, male( m) and female( f) it all flesh, went in as God(😊100%❤) had(😊❤) commanded( 😊❤)
him( Noah😊❤). ( Do you know who shut the door of the ark? ) And the LORD ( 😊❤) shut him( Noah 😊❤) in."( Genesis 7:11-16 ESV ( " in" in what? in the ark). May Jesus walk with you too. In Jesus'name, i pray( remember "...the LORD ( 😊❤) shut him( Noah 😊❤) in."( Genesis 7:16 b ESV)...and wait for the LORD to Genesis 8:15-19
" 15 Then God(😊100%❤) said to Noah(😊❤),
16 Bring out with you( Noah😊❤)every living thing(❤) that is with you( Noah😊❤) of all flesh- birds(😊❤😊❤)
and animals(😊❤😊❤) and every creeping thing(😊❤) that creeps on the earth- that they may swarm (😊❤)
on the earth, and
be fruitful(😊❤) and multiply(😊❤) on the earth(😊❤)."
18 So
Noah(😊❤)
went ( 😊❤) out, and his sons( 3 sons) and his wife(1) and his sons' wives with him( Noah😊❤).
19 Every beast, every(😊❤)
creeping thing(😊❤), and every(😊❤) bird(😊❤), everything(😊❤) that moves(😊❤) on the earth(😊❤), went out by families from the ark( or the ship)."( Genesis 8:15-18 ESV. Amen.)
May the Lord our God spare you as God protect Noah( 😊❤)
and his family of 8 members ( included Noah) and all living animals and birds too. Which is your favorite part of this sharing in Christ ? To me, is Genesis 7:16
"16 And those that entered, male( m) and female( f) it all flesh, went in as God(😊100%❤) had(😊❤) commanded( 😊❤)
him( Noah😊❤ And the LORD (😊❤) shut him( Noah 😊❤) in."( Genesis 7:16 ESV ( " in" in what? in the ark). May Jesus walk with you too as He is with me too in Christ. In Jesus'name, i pray( hope in Genesis 8:15
-19 too in Christ just Romans 5:12-21( Death through Adam, and life through Christ(Jesus
😊1st❤
) and Romans 6:1-14( Dead to sin, Alive in Christ(Jesus 😊1st❤); Romans 4:1-25; Romans 4:1-25( Abraham justified by faith( trust😊❤) and Romans 4:1-12( Abraham😊❤ justified by faith😊❤) from ESV too in Christ,John 14:6😊❤,
