God IS Good! THANK YOU FOR SPEAKING THE TRUTH!

I want to thank you for your preaching Brother Doug as a young man trying to cleanse his path I find your videos inspiring and insightful!!!

Happy Sabbath friends …I have to say that there is no hyperbole in the scripture… Pastor Doug, we black ppl in North America fit the 400 years, as of 2019, complete with a wicked oppressive Pharoah over us at that time. From our perspective it gives us back our identity as we are also children of Abraham. Keep doing the good work Pastor. I love listening to you spread the gospel since the 90s.

Thanks for the message! I love your preaching

Great sermon! I praise you Yeshua Hamashiach! WHO EVER reads this please take time and read this message. We are living in a time where Right is Wrong and Wrong is right. So many people are leaving Christianity for other false doctrine. They are looking for wisdom from men rather than the Word of God(Holy Bible). “Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,” ‭II Thessalonians 2:1-3 NKJV‬ The weather is changing all around us. The Devil is using climate change as a pawn to deceive people into thinking it is natural causes rather than the Work of the Lord. Earthquakes and massive flooding. ““And there will be signs in the sun, in the moon, and in the stars; and on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken.” ‭Luke 21:25-26 NKJV‬ We know not the day nor hour, but we will know the season and I’m not saying it’s happening today or tomorrow or in a month; for only God the Father knows that. Give your life to Christ before it’s too late. Let him enter your hearts and your life will change forever. “If you openly declare that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by openly declaring your faith that you are saved.” ‭Romans 10:9-10 NLT‬ We believers should be excited for our redemption draws near. “Now when these things begin to happen, look up and lift up your heads, because your redemption draws near.”” ‭Luke 21:28 NKJV‬ Praise the Lord Jesus Christ! All the Glory goes to you!👍🏼🎚❤️

Sin does bite, Jacob has a different plan than what really happened to his life, Jacob love Rachel and he like to marry Rachel, but because sin or the deceit he did to his brother Esau, he cannot complain about the deceit done by Laban unto him, so although he really love Rachel, Leah became the rightful wife. Leah was buried with Jacob, Leah’s descendant are the one where Jesus came from. Also the Bible said that Rachel has idols, the same idols that Laban was searching for and got missing and what Laban used as reason to pursue Jacob when Jacob and his families left Haran without telling Laban. Perhaps Rachel’s idolatry disqualifies her from becoming the rightful wife. Rachel was blessed but Leah got the best blessing.

By faith not works - which would be vanity. But the Law is always the Law.

Longest comment I ever read!😄

Love you Doug and understand that you're neck-deep in the SDA religion which keeps you under the Law but I pray you find your freedom in Christ and spend more time in your gospel contained within the Pauline epistles. The Sabbath is not and never has been a part of the gospel delivered to Paul by the ascended Christ which we know no longer in the flesh. Salvation is a work of God yet more than that, salvation is solely a work of God. Assurance of salvation is possible only if salvation is a work of God alone. If salvation depended upon man’s ability, assurance of salvation would require answering two questions: 1. What works are necessary to meet God’s approval for righteousness? 2. How many works are necessary? No one can answer the above questions therefore assurance of salvation is impossible if salvation depends in any part on a person’s works or good deeds. However, if salvation depends on the work of God and Christ crucified, one can have assurance of salvation. Scriptures is clear that it is impossible for man to gain the approval of God and attain His righteousness through good works. Isaiah wrote, “For all of us have become like one who is unclean, and all our righteous deeds are like a filthy garment” (Isaiah 64.6). This is the Old Testament witness of man’s righteousness before God. Paul summed up the problem when he wrote, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God” (Romans 3.23). Only one righteous man has ever lived-Jesus Christ. Only His works satisfied God. The proof of Jesus’ righteousness and the approval of His work on the cross for our sins was His resurrection from the dead (Romans 1.4). Because of Jesus’ death on the cross and His resurrection, we can have assurance of salvation (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). Paul declared this fact in Romans: But now apart from the Law the righteousness of God has been manifested, being witnessed by the Law and the Prophets, even the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all those who believe; for there is no distinction; for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, being justified as a gift by His grace through the redemption which is in Christ Jesus whom God displayed publicly as a propitiation in His blood through faith. This was to demonstrate His righteousness, because in the forbearance of God He passed over the sins previously committed; for the demonstration, I say, of His righteousness at the present time, so that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus. Where then is boasting? It is excluded. By what kind of law? Of works? No, but by a law of faith. For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law (Romans 3.21-28). Continuing a few verses later, Paul wrote, What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather according to the flesh, has found? For if Abraham was justified by works, he has something to boast about, but not before God. For what does the Scripture say? “ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS CREDITED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS.” Now to the one who works, his wage is not credited as a favor, but as what is due. But to the one who does not work, but believes in Him who justifies the ungodly, his faith is credited as righteousness (Romans 4.1-5). Surely this Scripture is the greatest statement of hope and comfort ever written. It declares divine righteousness is a gift-we cannot work for it. It is for the one who does not work. It is for the one who believes. To the Galatians, Paul wrote, “Nevertheless knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the Law but through faith in Christ Jesus, even we have believed in Christ Jesus, that we may be justified by faith in Christ, and not by the works of the Law; since by the works of the Law shall no flesh be justified ” (Galatians 2.16). “I do not nullify the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the Law, then Christ died needlessly” (Galatians 2.21). Is this clear? Salvation and God’s righteousness is available through trusting Christ-believing He died for you and rose from the dead (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). Each of us has sinned and is unrighteous before God. Only by exercising faith in Christ’s work (His death and resurrection) can one be justified before God. No amount of good works can achieve this. It matters not if you've performed all the good deeds of a Mother Teresa or Albert Schweitzer as none of these merit God’s approval for salvation. The only way to God is through trusting the work of His Son, Jesus Christ. God desires that all who have put their faith in Christ know that they have eternal life. The Bible declares that “no condemnation” exists for the believer in Christ (Romans 8.1). Some have said the most important thing is to be saved and the second most important thing is to know it. The one who trusts in Christ can be absolutely certain he/she will be in heaven as Christ is. Is this arrogance? No. It's obeying God. It's believing what He has said. Is it presumptuous to depend on Christ’s righteousness? Is it arrogant to believe Christ’s work satisfied the just demands of a holy God to pay the penalty for our sins? Paul wrote that In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our trespasses according to the riches of His grace (Ephesians 1.7). Notice his wording. “we have redemption.” God’s redemption and forgiveness of our sins is not something future or something hoped for. It's a present possession of the believer. Salvation doesn't begin when one dies. Salvation begins when one believes the gospel (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). Paul wrote similar words to the Colossians: For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins (Colossians 1.13-14). Again, notice the past tense. Rescued from the domain of darkness, transferred to the kingdom of His Son, redemption, and forgiveness are past actions which become present possessions of the believer. They are not future hopes but actions God did in the past when one believed the gospel. In the same way, eternal life is a present possession for the believer (Romans 5.21, 6.22-23; 2 Thessalonians 2.16; 1 Timothy 1.16; Titus 1.2, 3.7). Eternal life does not begin when a believer dies. It begins when he believes. Those who put their trust in Christ have-not will have, but have eternal life. Can eternal life be lost? If you have eternal life, how long does eternal life last? Further testimony to these truths are the following Scriptures: For by grace you have been saved through faith; and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God; not as a result of works, so that no one may boast (Ephesians 2.8-9). But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. Much more then, having now been justified by His blood, we shall be saved from the wrath of God through Him (Romans 5.8-9). We begin new life in Christ through trusting in Him and Him alone. No amount of good deeds can approve us to God. Trusting in Christ is believing what God says. The Bible says that Christ died for your sins and was raised from the dead (1 Corinthians 15.1-4). This is the gospel. Will you believe it? Will you trust your life to what it says? Some confuse the simple matter of trusting in Christ with unscriptural appeals to “invite Christ into your heart” or “accept Christ as your Savior.” Such appeals, while well-intentioned, are not the gospel. One is saved by trusting in the Person and work of Jesus on the cross - for us - and in His resurrection-not by “inviting Christ into one’s heart.” Is your trust in the Christ who died for you and was raised for you? Do you trust in Christ’s death and resurrection on your behalf? If the answer is “yes”, then you have God’s own Word and faithfulness that you have eternal life and will spend eternity with Christ. Furthermore, salvation is not something that can be lost because you sin. Jesus’ death solved the sin problem forever. What you do or do not do has no effect on your salvation because it is Christ’s work that is sufficient before God. To believe that you can commit some sin and “lose” your salvation is to believe that your sin is greater than Christ’s work on the cross and the power of His resurrection. Such belief strikes at the very heart of Christ’s work and insults the integrity of God. Salvation is the deliverance from the penalty, power, and presence of sin. This work is both immediate, ongoing, and future. These three aspects of salvation are expressed by theologians as justification, sanctification, and glorification. The moment one believes the gospel (1 Corinthians 15.1-4) one is delivered from the penalty of sin. God imputes his own righteousness and judicially declares the believer to be righteous in his sight (Romans 3.26, 28, 30, 4.5, 5.1). The believer is given a new nature which is alive to God. When one believes he is immediately baptized by the Holy Spirit into the body of Christ (cf. 1 Corinthians 12.13) and God gives him the Holy Spirit as a deposit or down payment (ἀρραβών), 2 Corinthians 1.22, 5.5; Ephesians 1.14) for the hopeful expectation of being delivered from the power and presence of sin. The process of being delivered from the power of sin while we live on this earth is known as sanctification. The final stage of salvation is being delivered from the presence of sin and is known as glorification. This occurs when the believer receives a new, resurrection body (1 Corinthians 15.50-56).
