      Honestly, this video is a combination of Sunday school lessons and what my parents lectured to me.

      @jongpark 6 лет назад

      Wow, I agree with almost everything here, except that “this is IT. 9:44.” This life is too simple to end this way. I know HELL exists, because he got me out of it twice, but God wants us to choose to be with him or not. Most of the world knows of Jesus Christ now, so he’s coming back soon. But will never force you into the relationship. Scott, if you choose to believe, you will see your kids again. And possibly even watch over your grandchildren.

      Christopher Freeze You beat me to it...except for the Africa thing (I know it’s a metaphor), there’s a lifetime of “experiences” you can have in “the best zip code in the world” and still keep your Family safe. If it’s just you, knock yourself out on the amount of “danger” (real/perceived) to expose yourself too.

    I really have no idea why I just subscribed but every time I see one of these advertisements I always think, “ this guy has my respect” or “ I don’t know what he’s talking about but I want to hear more.” So after like 6 months of seeing ads for this channel I finally subbed. I love to hear this guys voice and care little tone and above all his incredible intellect on every subject discussed. Dammit advertising you win

    Great observations and advice. However, IMO Professor Galloway misses one huge source of happiness, helping others. When I wonder why am I here and does anything matter I remind myself of the people I have helped and am helping. This brings me joy. Helping others may bring you joy as well.
