The Church in the USA has so much money, but they often spend it on themselves. So many mega-churches have magnificent buildings, basketball courts, rock-climbing walls, skate parks, video-game rooms, etc., but no emphasis on the 1000s of unreached tribes/cultures/languages! Here in the Philippines, I see many young people who _want_ to GO for Jesus, but there's so little money to train/send/sustain them in missions. Church in the USA, if you refuse to GO for Jesus to spread the Gospel, at least send your money, instead of wasting it on so much entertainment.

The list of the sins of the American church is very long. I didn't include all of it. But we have much from which to repent. Your points are very valid.

I shared this message with my sisters.... I pray that they will take it to heart and draw closer to God. We as Christians are called to be saints, holy ones of God, yet we all to often live like the world. God's grace is amazing but His wrath and justice will eventually fall. I'm both terrified and excited about the times. The end is near and we have work yet to do... And we will face persecution for doing that work but it will be worth it when He returns. We must remember that this earth is not our home.

@@AprilCassidy amen, too long. :( Again, thanks for your excellent message!

I believe that if we would all repent, the Lord would be gracious to us and would spare us many disasters. Yes, He is giving us a wakeup call. May we turn to Him with all our hearts.

@@AprilCassidy I believe you are right just like you did with Jerusalem for many many years before you let the Babylonians conker it hopefully people will wake up before it's too late however I'm pretty sure that you and I will be in heaven and that's what's really important

I definitely want the two of us to be in heaven. But how I also long for everyone to choose eternal life in Christ and for us all to be there. My heart aches over America and the world. Jesus offers us all the hope we need. How I want to see us all receive Him. Blessings.

@@AprilCassidy all I can say that is amen God bless you

@@0annonymous you are exactly right and amen to that he knows more than we do for sure

What is false religion? Depends on one's own perpective.

If there were no God to give us absolute truth and a definition of false religion, we would each be free to make up our own perspectives. But since we will answer to Him, it is His definition that matters. Perhaps this post may be interesting: Is Atheism a Religion? www.gotquestions.org/is-atheism-a-religion.html

Thank you for sharing, Danielle & Pier Green! Yes, we will continue to pray for those who are lost and ask God to help us be effective salt and light by His power. This is an issue all over the world, for sure. I love that description of Proverbs 31 as the church. So powerful! Yes, may the joy of the Lord be our strength and may we be faithful to Him as He is so faithful to us. Much love in Christ!

May the Lord continue to work mightily in and through you dear April -God has you shining beautifully in the corner of the world where you are- we love you so much and do not cease to pray for you and your family. We hope these two scripture songs bless you and bring you great joy and comfort as they do us - Esther Mui’s ministry blessed us so much through Covid (just like your channel did) and I thought these two would bless you right now. If you love God’s Word you will love these from Isaiah and the many other scripture songs Esther and her family have produced with the Lord’s leading! Such a wonderful way to enjoy God’s Word! We hope you love them and enjoy them as much as we do! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/d6ugl8Sr27rLe2w.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/g7RndsyC0p2tZXU.html

Thank you so much for your prayers. That is a huge blessing and gift to me. Thank you for the songs. Much love to you and your family in Christ!

Life & Life more Abundantly - When Daniel prayed for forgiveness for Israel, he spoke in first person plural, "we," even though I am sure he hadn't personally committed many of the sins. I haven't committed every sin that the entire church or all of America has. But I have committed enough sin to need the mercy, grace, and forgiveness of Jesus. I long for us all - the church and America - to turn from everything that dishonors the Lord and return to Him with all our hearts. I pray we will all be open to any rebuke or correction the Lord may have. It may be painful, but it will be Life-giving, too. So thankful that there is a remnant who is fervently praying and seeking the Lord. That is such a joy!

It's hard to watch. May we turn to Him!

Every city/nation/person that rebels against the Lord and won't repent will eventually face God's judgment. We can see what will happen to the entire world in Revelation. I long for everyone to turn from everything the Lord calls sin and turn humbly to Him, seeking forgiveness, salvation, and healing. He is still extending mercy and grace and we need Him more than we can imagine. If we turn to Him, perhaps the Lord will relent from sending disasters and we may be able to experience peace.

@@AprilCassidy Amen to that in the meantime we need to individually try to get right with God by obeying his Commandments and repenting of our sins and believe that we are saved by Jesus Christ

I am atheist. Menaing that I don't believe. So I deserve such fate? An eartquake? Tsunami? Death? Respect for God. Believe what I want you to believe or die, This is the deity who we should follow? And This "God" waits a little long with this judgment. For example : where was this so called judment when The Holocaust happened? The world wars? How many innocent, civil people died? During thos earthquake/tsunami, during this "judgment", countless innocent people/animal would die, but yeah, you are right, just forget it!

Good afternoon, Draco19970125! Thanks for stopping by. And for your honesty and your important questions. Jesus came to die for us for two reasons. As a rescue mission. Because we were in big trouble and couldn't save ourselves. And to find His Bride. He is the only one offering to rescue us from our sin issue that is separating us from God and destroying us in every way. Jesus said, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No man comes to the Father except through Me." John 14:6. He actually prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane to the Father to ask if there was any other way for people to be saved. And the answer was no. So we can choose to reject His offer of rescue, but there is no other offer available to cleanse us from everything we've done wrong and to prepare us to be pure enough for heaven. Those who receive Him as Savior and Lord, He calls, the Bride of Christ. We become spiritually united with Him. To receive His salvation, we enter into an eternal covenant with Him. And because He is the only God there is, He is the only one offering rescue and salvation. And He is the only one offering eternal life. We can take Him up on His offer and help or we can reject Him. But to reject Him is to reject Him and all of His gifts and provision. There is nothing good apart from Him. When we reject Jesus and His gospel, we choose separation from Him. Even though that is NOT what He wants. He wants to love and cherish us. He wants us to willingly come to Him. But He won't force His love and provision on us. He allows us to reject Him if we so choose, even though it breaks His heart. PERHAPS THIS ILLUSTRATION WILL HELP: When a young man proposes to the woman he loves, she has the right to accept or reject his proposal. If she has no choice in the matter, it is not really marriage. It is slavery. All of us understand that if she rejects his proposal of marriage, she forfeits all rights to his love, provision, care, possessions, legal rights, authority in his name, money, affection, etc… She knows that she will not live with him. She will not be involved in his wedding. She will cut ties with him and go her own way. Can you imagine a young woman refusing a man's proposal and then expecting him to financially provide for her and allow her to live in his home for the rest of her life? It would be appallingly inappropriate. Some people think that God is cruel to only offer salvation through Jesus. The deal is this: He is offering a divine marriage proposal to each of us. He is the only way. Jesus offers us the “cup of joy” that a Jewish man would offer to a prospective bride. This is the cup of the Lord’s Supper. It is a New Covenant in His blood for a divine marriage. He paid a massive bride price for us - His very life. He loves us enough to die for us. He wants us to say yes to Him and a happily-ever-after with Him in heaven forever where we will enjoy Him and know Him fully. He rejoices when we accept His love and covenant. He loves us more than we can imagine. But He will never force His love and marriage on us. We may receive His spiritual marriage proposal and drink from the cup, accepting His written marriage covenant (the gospel and New Testament) and become part of His Bride. Then we have certain obligations and responsibilities. Or we may reject Him, His cup, and His marriage covenant, forfeiting everything He wants to give us. We have free will. If we reject His divine proposal, we renounce all of His goodness, support, love, affection, provision, and heaven. We choose not to live with Him. We choose not to receive His blessings and fellowship. We will not have a right relationship with Him here or in eternity. We choose separation from Him. If we receive His divine proposal, our status in this world changes. We become His beloved. We receive His Spirit as a seal. We receive His provision and protection here. We receive an intimate one-Spirit relationship with Him and become part of the Bride of Christ. We receive all of His promises. We take on His Name. We become joint heirs with Him in heaven. We will go spend eternity with Him, sharing in His love, spiritual treasures, goodness, and paradise. May we choose wisely and receive the unimaginable love Jesus has for each of us, accepting His gracious covenant and all He has in store for those who love Him above all else. Blessings!

@@AprilCassidy well said and God bless you forever

I like the way Got Questions describes Jesus' response to the tower that fell at Siloam. It is helpful to me as I think about the subject of God's judgment: Two current events-the massacre on the temple mount and the collapse of the tower of Siloam. The same lessons are drawn from each. First, Jesus warned His audience not to assume that the victims of those tragedies had been judged for their great evil. It’s always a temptation to assign sudden, unexplainable deaths to the judgment of God in response to secret (or open) sin. Jesus says not so fast; it is a mistake to automatically attribute such tragedies to the vengeance of God. Whether it is a man-made tragedy (Pilate’s slaughter of the Galileans) or a naturally caused tragedy (the fall of the tower of Siloam), it is wrong to assume that the victims are somehow worse sinners than everyone else and thus deserved to die. The second point Jesus made concerning both events is that everyone needs to repent. Repentance is a change of mind that results in a change of action. Jesus highlights the importance of repentance twice in this passage: repent or perish, He says; turn or burn. Instead of conjecturing on the Galileans’ sin, focus on your own sin. Rather than assigning wickedness to those killed by the tower of Siloam, examine your own heart. www.gotquestions.org/tower-of-Siloam.html Blessings!

@@AprilCassidy thank you for this! My comment I realise now is very inappropriate... and I apologise to anyone who’s felt bad because of it, I didn’t meant it literally...I wasn’t seriously thinking God will take vengeance.. I was trying to point out (no very appropriately) how sad it is that humanity is being influenced in a negative way and lately Hollywood and the movie’s industry, I feel is so powerful at influencing negatively to the whole world, especially young people. But I wish no harm to anyone, I pray for those that are lost and I only wish for them to find the Lord. I am in no place to judge others, as I need to think and work on my own sins and my relationship with God, we are only human. I am glad having people like you, that loves the Lord and because I always learn from you, your videos inspire me and give me hope... and I am sure your messages have helped more souls than you can imagine, God bless you! 🙏🏻💖

We have many ungodly influences in our culture today, sadly. May people turn to Jesus and find salvation, regeneration, and eternal life in Him while we have time.

Nusraat Mahzabeen - Hello, friend! Is this a boyfriend or a husband we are talking about? What approaches have you tried? I assume you explained that these things upset you? But he still wants to keep them and you feel jealous. Do you believe he is faithful to you or is he still in contact with other women? Thanks!

@@AprilCassidy Thanks mam for your reply. Yes mam he is my boyfriend.. I Didn't tall him that It's upset me. I asked him is that hair clips are her (his ex) he said yes she was very spacial... I just said if you want you can go back with her... He said of course not... I'll never gonna do that. But those things are i keep, i said oh... And nothing more, but yes i trust him. No he Didn't have any contact with his ex or other woman's. But It's still upset me mam. What should i do about it? Plzz tell me

If you believe that he is being true to you and he is not in contact with her anymore, I don't really think it has to be a big deal. It is a keepsake and memory of part of his past. But I don't think it necessary means it is a problem, from what you are describing. You could choose to make it be a big deal. You could get very upset and resent him and be bitter. You could demand that he get rid of the hair clips. But all of those things would just push him away from you. If you have Jesus in your life as your Savior and Lord, He can be your main source of security, love, purpose, and identity. When you have Him, you don't have to freak out. You can be at peace.

@@AprilCassidy Ohhhhh mam.... I'm glad to find you.. Yes You're right. The matter is he is with me not with her. That's the reality i was too blind to see that. Yes if i accept him i must accept his past also. And yes i must respect his feelings to.... Thank you mam thanks a lot ❤️

Of course, I will pray for her right now.

Wrong! You are in error! Genesis 12:3 applies!

I'd love to see us all repent and turn to Him! Perhaps He will show us mercy.
