Thank you Ray ❤ I just recently found my way back to Jesus and also found your RUclips channel. You are a blessing with your message to us lost souls 🙏🏻 I was excited to seek this book, to read to my family, but it’s very difficult to pay for the shipping so I’m happy there is a pdf version. So much love to you ❤
Thank you, downloaded ❤
Also, could you link the Charlie Kirk video included within, I'm interested to hear what he says in full. TIA
Please pray for my earthly father, he has terminal cancer and isnt saved. His name is Justinas. Please ask the Lord to reveal himself to him, according to His will. Thank you 🙏
I'll be praying, my friend 🧡
🙏🏻
Will pray. My father accepted Jesus 2 days before he passed with cancer. Please keep talking to him, praying and have others pray and talk to him.
Have you said to him, "Father, may I explain the Gospel to you?" If he says, "No," keep praying. If he says, "Yes," start explaining.
I just prayed out loud for him. Have you told him the Gospel? What was his response? You can even use the thief on the cross if he thinks it's too late. We know it is not! Makes sure you do as Ray does in evangelizing and what Jesus did with the rich young ruler. Gotta show that he NEEDS a Savior. God bless you. In Jesus name.
I need God to put in me a fear of Him: My heart is numb and callous. Please pray. That God will break my heart and to bring me low, and to stamp eternity on my heart. I’m 16.
Keep reading the bible brother
When you pray, ask the Lord to help you see both the depth of your sin and how holy He is. When you see how wide the gulf is between us and Him, and realize that He will rain down justice, in His timing, you will start to understand how much we all need salvation in Christ. It will be the start of the most critical journey of your life.
🙏
I put you on a prayer line for prayer. God bless you ❤️

I already bought 50 copies of this book, and I’ll be buying another 50 I’m sure. The western church is starving for this truth of the real gospel. I’ve already walked two people thru the 10 commandments. One was an unbeliever who completely opened up to the gospel, and the other was a believer shaken as much as I was upon reading this book - and he looked me in the eyes, and asked how he can be sure he’s born again. God is awesome, and Living Waters is a tremendous blessing to our generation!
Amen, God bless you brother.
HalleluYah!!
I hated this book through the first few chapters! It made me question my faith and everything I believed I believed. It made me so angry. Then I realized I was wrong, all my life I was wrong! Praise the Lord my eyes were open! Praise the Lord Jesus chose me and saved me. I was wrong. Jesus saves! Test your faith with fear and trembling!
I have not read this book . . . BUT BOY DO I REMEMBER THAT AWAKENING MOMENT OF MY OWN . . . I was physically sick to my stomachs, my own high & mighty pride, my shame & disgust at myself . . . I had lived my Christianity as, "I have no fear of God - God loves me, I am one of His & am secure! But I sure do feel sorry for the rest of you loosers who refuse to believe."
Oh yeah, the Neo leap off the skyscraper moment when my humility smacked that pavement below!
Thank you, LORD, give me more of that which I desperately need, please . . . because I trust You will get me through it & better for it!!! Those are brave words to be able to say & to mean.
Oh really this is nothing more than 2000
Year old woke keep it up you will go insane
@@sydney.g.sloangammagee8181and yet there is no demonstrable evidence for any of the thousands of Gods claimed by humans throughout history

We are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ alone.
Sinners won’t enter heaven.
@@LuhBake you don’t sin? 😂 heaven will be empty if that’s the case.
Ephesians 2:8, “For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: not of works, lest any man should boast".
@@LuhBake all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God biblical Romans 3:23-24
We are saved by the grace of God, all salvation requires is repentance, and faith, but what being born again, produces is “obedience to the faith” Romans one… so do not confuse what the gospel produces with what the gospel requires. So those who are touting their saved, but yet there’s no fruit of the new birth those who despise good works those who hate obedience and faithfulness.. if you’re still a slave to sin, then you, my friend are still under the law. You have not understood Grace at all. You do not have a new heart with the new spirit, the spirit of the Lord put in you.
@@dustinmurphy82able sinners won't enter heaven. we all sin. but, if we truly believe and commit our lives to Jesus, we will be made perfect like Him, when we enter heaven, given glorious new bodies just like Jesus's glorious and perfected body. Therefore, sinners won't enter heaven. (in that way). "9Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts, 10nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor verbal abusers, nor swindlers, will inherit the kingdom of God. 11And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.…"- 1 Corinthians 6:9-11
Praying Steve’s conversion is genuine and that his faith would grow!
Praying!
I read that book and it is so good. 🙏 💪
Edit: Just finished watching this video. So convicting and powerful. At 72, I need to get my house in order in many ways. 🙏
Start by praying (reading over slowly with intentional focus on the words) Psalm 51 every morning. God will help you move into a state of true repentance....at which point you give Him the most holy of sacrifices, a broken and contrite heart....then HE will put your house in order. Nobody can put your house in order like God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. Just try it...........what do you have to lose?
At 32 I thank God that I'm justified by faith because my house is a mess as well. I'll pray for you Barbara. Pray for me too please 😅
Me too! 🙏for you
Ray had a good analogy.
We are running from the law, but there's a helicopter above that simply cannot be outrun, so just surrender. If God created Adam from the dust of the earth and can gather up all the dust of believers at the rapture, it's not a stretch for Him to be able to know every thought and deed we have. Surrender. He's just waiting to give us all more than could ever be imagined. Just as He planned for Adam. It's restoration of a thing that happened so long ago...
The very first word Steve found in Ray’s book split my family… I pray every day for my sons dad to find Jesus ❤🙏
How You Can Have Eternal Life ! Realize you are a sinner being sorry. Sin is lying, evil thoughts, lust,etc. Therefore, do not trust in your own works to go to heaven because you realize, being a sinner, you cannot offer the perfect blood sacrifice that God requires to pay for sin. Instead, believe, meaning fully trust, that in Christ's love for you, on the cross, His one perfect blood sacrifice, when Christ bled, suffered and died, in your place, paid for your sins in full, past, present and future ! Believe that Jesus rose from the dead ! Believe Jesus is God Almighty, God the Son, alive for evermore ! And believe that the sinless blood of Jesus Christ is what cleanses you from all sin, which purifies your soul ! Then the Lord Jesus will forgive you,save you from hell and give you eternal life ! And you will be sealed with the Holy Spirit who will dwell within you forever! And thank Jesus ! Rom.3:25,5:8,9,10:9, Is.53:5,6, II Cor.5:21, Ephes.1:7,13,4:30, Heb.10:14,38,39, I John 1:7, 5:7,13,20
We lost not only the fear (respect) for God, but also the love for God, he became a cuss word or a lucky charm for the properity gospel followers.
@theflint7405, isn't it a sad shame but it's the truth no fear of the Lord no respect no honor for a righteous and holy God😢
It's ''funny'' considering you also ignore the bible when it's inconvenient to you. Example, the bible tells you to love your neighbor and to not judge others yet you hate and severly judge atheists, gays and trans people.
@@razark9 Wow, what a load of nonsense. Do you know me and tell me when did I judge those people? Pleaee give me the location, date and time please.
Maybe first take a look in the mirror, because you accuse me of something I did not do and I don't hate anyone.
First get the splinter out of your own eye, because you falsely accuse people you don't know.
@@razark9 I am waiting, please tell me when I did.
@@TinusTegenlichtI hate to answer a question with a question, but answer me this. Should being gay or trans be allowed? Should they have the exact same rights as you do without any exceptions? To be allowed the pursuit of happiness without being ambushed by people like Ray Comfort telling them who they are as people ''is a choice'' and they're bad because of it, just for being gay or trans? If the answer is ''no, they shouldn't'' and I assume it is as you seem to be a follower of Ray then you have your answer.
Beautiful sobering truth.....I pray the lost will hear the shepherds voice
Amen
I ask that you leave un-believers and trans and gay people alone and stop misinforming people about science.
@@razark9 God's word is true we must be born again and turn away from our old ways of living and turn to the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible says in order to be a follower of Jesus we must deny ourselves pick up our cross and follow Him. Jesus died to take the penalty of sin off of us but we have to beg God for forgiveness and ask him to help us to repent and turn away from our sins. We can't just say I believe ok but then nothing about us changes. If we believe we must walk upright before the Lord and not in our own ways but the Lord Jesus Christ helps us deny ourselves helps us learn what sacrifice and love is helps us to bear up under the burden of wanting to go sin but the Lord helps us turn away from sin and to the living God. I used to be gay and in Sept of 2018 the Lord started to process me out of the gay lifestyle. things just didn't mean oh ok now I like the opposite sex but the Lord had to process me and it's a lifelong process. All of us have things that we have to say no to in order to say yes to the Lord Jesus Christ.
I just recently purchased the evidence Study Bible and I love it. This 15-minute message by Ray comfort really opened my eyes. Thank you Ray Comfort.

Thanks Ray. I've been encouraged. Talking to 15 high schoolers tomorrow morning proclaiming the gospel. At the end they will receive a "Are You A Good Person" tract.
Praying for the young people you will be sharing with tomorrow. May their hearts be opened by the LORD as was Lydia's in Acts 16
Pray for Steve man
Exactly what sent me crying to repentance at age 12. 🙌🏼Praise The Lord, ✝️Christ Jesus🛐
Not enough of this message in today’s church.
What a 'Ray of comfort' it is having the truth in our hearts, peace that passes all understanding, and avoiding the great lie of peace without Jesus! I have recently started donated to Living Waters and would encourage you to do the same. Living Waters is on a true mission to reach the lost, repair the broken, and give hope to the hopeless! The living Waters team is truly working for the 'Great Commission. Matthew 28: 19-20. Let's join the team! God Bless!
Please please pray for our family. We are just living our life, not bothering people. Our neighbours / their young children are mean spirited to the point of harassing us almost daily. It has gone so far as to the courts. Funny thing is, we are depending on God for our every need. And He provides. Maybe this is bothering them, knowing we don't turn to them but to our Father. Thank you ❤
I need this book! Because this has been my issue with self help preaching years and years before I started my ministry. Ray is 💯 correct!
What a blessing Ray and his team are sharing with fellow believers in Jesus Christ … I WANT A COPY!! 👋🤩👉✨📖✨
Praise God for Living Waters ministry! Thank you Ray!
ACTS is the Answer! And COMMANDMENT! Be filled with Him!!
Jesus YOU ARE MY STRENGTH. Lord please bless my children both are special needs, heal them Lord. I’m overwhelmed because I’m on my own as a single mother I have no one to turn to, but you Heavenly Father. Give me strength as I struggle to buy groceries, and as I struggle to pay rent, and as I struggle to do it all for my sons. Keep us safe and protect us from the evil ones of this world. Amen.❤️🔥
Amen! I'm praying for you, sister.
May the Lord continue to support you through your journey. Not anyone can be a mother. You are blessed, and remember that it takes a special mother to be a mother . God blessed you, and he makes no mistakes . I will pray for your faith to grow .
Amen 🙏
Keep searching for the right church.
I am so sorry 😢 wow! I can only imagine what you feel like every moment of every day! I’m so sorry. I will pray for you!!!❤🙏✝️
Much love to all. God bless 🙏
I'm thankful I learned about Jesus as a child and believed 🙏🏼 in Christ then. Because after all the trauma and tragedy I experienced Jesus Christ was faithful to His word He never left me or forsook me. Praise God life is hard but God is good all the time ❤
THIS IS AWESOME 💯
He said it right there... "do it love" and that is what is missing. DO IT IN LOVE ❤
“ Psalms 139 “ ✝️ 🎉👏🏽

Flee from idolatry, repent the Kingdom is near.
1 John1:9
We watch the way of the master years ago: I was able to use RC’s method a few times - I had the opportunity to have conversations with a co-worker back then. He was genuinely interested and I’m praying that he became a Christian out of it - that someone came and watered and help the seed grow. I love watch in the videos and it gives me a renewed boldness to want to start evangelizing again
Wow running into this video now is crazy for me. Iv read this book like three times already, and Ray Comfort being one of my favorite authors help me with that. But the craziest thing is that just yesterday, not knowing this information I was asking God to help me get out of a rut of not reading his word or maybe good books that I know would impact me, and one of the first books other than the Bible I thought about was this one. 😮😮
Another great book that I highly recommend is "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis. God Bless you, my brother.
The screwtape letters by c.s. Lewis have helped a lot of people start/ grow closer to Christ
The greatest man who ever lived by (forgot his name, super famous)

GREAT VIDEO!!!!!
GOD Bless You Brother Ray Comfort.
so good to see your books getting more exposure!!
🤣🤣🤣I listened to you say his name 7 times and still don’t know his name. Gotta say I’m so grateful to God for this. I’m hearing him talk about God, and that is awesome!
Ty brothers for sharing teaching and caring Blessings
Ray, you are gifted and a blessing. Very simple, bare truth. Kinda like the old hellfire & brimstone preaching we don't hear anymore, but in a much better resonating way. My only regret about you is not knowing you years ago.
Sobering message for all.
Very encouraging, great vid!!!
I’m so sorry. Prayed for him❤
Thank you for saying it as it is, Mr. Comfort. You played a part in me breaking up with my boyfriend who wasn't right for me today. God bless you and your ministry and the evangelism. 🙌 ❤
If you notice the sin, even in thought, reject it and make sure not to follow it. Always hold yourself accountable. God will also know this as he knows all. Because bron in this world, these thoughts will come, inevitably... but its our choice to follow them and act upon them or not. I think we shouldnt forget to love ourselves also and not chastise and hate ourselves for being born with that sin inside us.
So well put
Amen, Ray! Without knowledge of our sin, what on earth is the point of being saved? Saved from what?
Thanks for posting
I don’t see a button titled training on the website. Help! Our Men’s fellowship was just talking about starting a Discipleship training course. We were talking about Evangelism Explosion, but I think we should take this one.
Excellent video, thanks again Brother 💜✝️☀️
Thank you sir
I don't follow steve-will-do-it or sneako, but I know who both of them are. And its really cool to see the spirit working in both of them, I pray the lord will open their eyes and ears and will use both of them to reach more young people through their platforms
Praise God!
So encouraging!
Yesterday, I tried to explain to my oldest why I believe a certain way about how to start to solve our big issues in America. He said that I sounded like a liberal but I am neither side. My thoughts fall into the box of God's word that are not of the worlds view (when I stay there). And I choose prayer over being demanding or judgmental.
I just bought a few to give out and am hoping it helps me be more understandable. Or to speak for me where I am falling short with folks that don't read or understand enough of the bible.
Let me know if I can get a book any other stuff for biblel studies of possible.. you guys are awesome
I love your ministry! This is excellent.
One of your best videos ever, Ray. Strong truth preached.
Thank you Mark for giving him this book. I love this book. Thank you Ray
I have a channel called spiritual battle and I've been saying that in different ways for a while now I just put one up this morning that said that we all want to be like Jesus and that the Bible says that it pleased the father to crush him
Ray, your crown in heaven is going to be HUGE 🤴🏻
And that is the beauty of his ministry . . . its not his crown, not the size of any one crown, but the quantity of crowns for each person he is able to reach, every crown that will be cast at the feet of Jesus for HIS Glory!!!
All whom we share the gospel with, all whom our actions show God's love to, is planting that seed for another to come along & water, so the Holy Spirit causes it to grow - then we all rejoice together at the salvation of any one!!!
All those crowns of Glory cast at the feet of Jesus!!!
PRAISE GOD!!!
If god is real, he'd probably be repulsed by Ray's dishonesty, his ''ends justify the means'' mentality and disdain for people who understand basic science or who happen to be gay or trans.
What I See In Most People is They Want What The Things Only God Can Give, But Not God!
That's a lot of us here in America... And really, that's the problem with mankind throughout the Bible. It's this ugly, ugly selfishness ...Sin.
The man on the left looks very, very uncomfortable
That’s probably because hes a Muslim
That’s siko and he’s a Muslim
sneako and yeah because he converted to Islam recently but he's just a nominal Muslim, and will probably soon apostasize.
The name of Jesus makes the Arabian demons in Muslims angry
Somebody erased my comment lol
I said it’s cuz he’s a Muslim .
There is nothing but God! He created us. He made us in his image. We will never know anything but through him. Jesus saves!!!
GOD is the only true all seeing eye
really wanted to get the book but unfortunately, the store/site does not ship to South Africa and everybody living here knows we could do with more faith in this country :(
I love this I just watched Rays video last week
This is totally correct! May our precious Holy Redeemer, our One and only wonderful Jewish Messiah Yeshua raise up millions like you dear Brother Ray
Thank you so much for your devotion to our Lord Jesus Christ.
I really, need to hear this. Bless this man,and bless the Lord God almighty 🙏 👏
Proverbs 9 verse 10 talks about the fear of God which is an important part of the Christians life .Scripture talks about some going back to there own ways .
Brilliant
The generosity is awesome. No doubt. I can't help but think if he is spurning on the breaking of the 10th Commandment for his millions of followers. I like sportscards. I see these super valuable cards being pulled in breaks often. Am I coveting something that isn't mine? I mean. After I watch it, I think, "Man, it'd be great if I pulled a monster." But that's as far as it goes.
😂😊Ray, can we expect a video of your family. (Icon just to draw your attention)
Amen!
Mat 11:29
Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
I have been scolded by people for sharing this truth. Told " IF my God was the only one that she heard of she would want NO part of Him"....The "God is Love" message has done more to break down our Christian nation than anything else. The soft parent would NEVER send anyone to Hell....Thank you Mr Comfort. I appreciate you!
God does not SEND anyone to hell . . . God sent His Son to offer humankind the choice to live, simply be believing in HIM . . . those who choose to reject belief in HIM choose to remain in death & to go to hell !!!
God isn't love? Should we disregard everything Jesus said?
Absolutely not at all!!! Paul says it all so well.
However, if you have a jigsaw puzzle & only put together pieces of 1 color then ignore all other colors, even throw away colors you don't like, that puzzle can never be completed!
Strictly preaching only about God's love, grace, mercy & blessing is ignoring HIS justice & throwing away HIS anger at sin & HIS coming wrath for judgment!
@@sydney.g.sloangammagee8181 Paul didn't know Jesus. And what was most important is what Jesus said anyway. This ''We gotta preach how angry our god is'' is an excuse to judge and condemn people.
The 9-11 analogy to warning people was such an answer to prayer. Thank you so much! Praise the Lord!
Repent and believe in Jesus Christ, Son of the Living God!
Ray needs to go on the George Janko podcast!!!

Just saw this video and I gave your book to Steve after his friend asked me to help find a gold bracelet that she lost on his property. I am praying he will finish the book and is there another book that you would recommend as a follow up? I purchased a box of these books to hand out to all the people I meet when offering my metal detecting services and have found it to be a great way to get people to start thinking about what is really important in life.

Seeing Sneako get that uncomfortable made me want to care for him.
Collect our BRAND NEW trivia tract "Mind Game" here:
livingwaters.com/store/gospel-tracts/mindgame/
Hey team at living waters, how do I respond to people who say teaching repentance is teaching works ? I see people call you, me ruslan and voddie baucham so many more, we are fruit inspectors and we are backloading works into the gospel ?
@@joshuawoodin Try Ephesians 2:-10. Works are a result of being saved through repentance. By leading other's to the savior you are doing the work that God has set before you. Remember a man is known by his fruits, your fruits are your works not unto salvation but because of salvation.
@@richardhicks9914 yes i totally agree, their is a particular person who refuses to debate me in public or private, he says all repent means is to change our minds from unbelief to belief in Jesus. No matter where in scripture we point to, he always says we teach works. It's the osas crowd, AKA the once saved always saved group who say everyone who is not osas is works based salvation. I don't know how to reach these people, if not them then their subscribers who follow them, a public debate is a great way to change their minds. But no luck so far for me.
@@joshuawoodin Some maintain that repentance is simply a change of mind about Jesus. That it has nothing to do with sin. All we have to do is believe in Jesus. That is change our minds about Him.
I’m not concerned about these people. They have their minds made up no matter what I say. What concerns me is those they influence with their unsound doctrine.
So, does repentance mean to turn from your sins of lying, stealing blasphemy, fornication, adultery and idolatry, or does it simply mean to turn from the sin of unbelief?
Scripture makes it clear that repentance is turning from sins (plural):
Ezekiel 18:21-23: “But if the wicked will TURN FROM ALL HIS SINS that he hath committed…”
Acts 3:19: “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, THAT YOUR SINS MAY BE BLOTTED OUT…” (Note: this is “sins,” not the “sin” of unbelief).
Acts 3:26: “Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, IN TURNING AWAY EVERY ONE OF YOU FROM HIS INIQUITIES.” (Again, “Iniquities” is plural. Not the singular sin of unbelief).
Luke 24:47:
“And that repentance and remission of sins (sins, plural) should be preached in his name among all nations…”
Revelation 2:21-22 (emphasis added):
“And I gave her space to repent of her fornication; and she repented not. Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them that commit adultery with her into great tribulation, except they repent of their deeds.”
“Deeds”-Plural
If repentance is just a change of mind about Jesus, why does the Bible speak of godly sorrow producing repentance:
“For godly sorrow produces repentance leading to salvation…” (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Godly sorrow clearly means to be sorry for sin.
When David was confronted by Nathan for his adultery and murder, he didn’t just have a mind-change. His repentance came from godly sorrow. He spoke of being cleansed from his sin, saying it was evil in God’s sight:
“Have mercy upon me, O God, According to Your lovingkindness; According to the multitude of Your tender mercies, Blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, And cleanse me from my sin.
For I acknowledge my transgressions, And my sin is always before me.
Against You, You only, have I sinned, And done this evil in Your sight.” (Psalm 51:1-4).
The Amplified Bible translates the Greek and Hebrew languages:
From that time Jesus began to preach and say, “Repent [change your inner self-your old way of thinking, regret past sins, live your life in a way that proves repentance; seek God’s purpose for your life], for the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
Matthew 4:17 AMP
Listen to scripture as it addresses sinners telling them to be sorry for their sins:
“Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom” (James 4:8-9).
“And they did not repent of their murders or their sorceries or their sexual immorality or their thefts.” Revelation 9:21
Notice again, murders, sexual immorality and thefts. Not simply unbelief.
Proponents of the “just believe” doctrine say that we are saying to stop sinning-like Jesus said to the woman caught in the act of adultery:
“Neither do I condemn you; go and sin no more.” (John 8:11).
“See, you have been made well. Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.” (John 5:14).
A Christian stops SERVING sin. He perpetually turns from it. This is called the FRUIT of repentance. It’s evidence of salvation, not the reason for it.
Those who maintain that turning from sin is a work at the same time say that sinners must “believe” to be saved. In other words they have to “do” something-they have to believe. That’s works-righteousness. We are saved by grace alone without works (see Ephesians 2:8-9) and the way to obtain grace is to do what Jesus said to do, “repent and believe” (Mark 1:5).
@@LivingWaters yes I agree 150%, I see alot against the once saved always saved crowd and just believe in your heart. The new testament says things like, having the flame of your candle put out and your name erased from the book of life by the lamb, I oppose calvinism the "P" perseverance of the saints and the OSAS crowd, they take 1 verse and make a whole doctrine out of it, which is unsound doctrine. I want to debate these people to free there followers who listen to these bad online voices. And thanks for your reply whoever you are on the living waters team.
I wonder when Sneako is going to realize the truth… he’s been confronted by it sooooo many times.
I reckon hes afraid of the outcry and manipulation of his muslim “teachers”.
Sneako looked Angry 😡
Amen
I pray that Jesus purifies His Bride quickly making Her spotless, without division and ignorant criticism. A body divided cannot function as intended.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I am absolutely terrified of God
Oh there is a healthy fear of God, but he loves you. Read His book, the Bible. Start with John. 🙏✝️
@@Quint-ib4nf I know, and I believe in everything that Christ said and did 100%, been reading scripture for almost a decade. I wrestle with the fact that he died personally for my sins and has forgiven me, because I see how wicked I am and I tend to focus on my feelings more than my faith. Anyway, just a personal struggle of mine
That's sad.
@@ErikFindling-oy9gc Read Acts 16:29-31 brother. God bless.
Ray what's your approach to sharing the gospel with younger children. Not just randomly of course but in a church setting like Sunday school. I think we just tell them God loves them and has a great plan for their lives
@@Quint-ib4nf We don't preach to them. They don't sit and listen to a sermon 🤪. Not sure how you are defining preach. Thank you for your response 👍
