I know the focus of this program was music, but the best part imo is the sermon, nestled in the middle of it. One of the most concise, eluminating summaries of the plan of salvation I have ever heard.

All God's children have a culture, and Black culture is unique, God gave it to us, and He accepts our Praise too. ❤

No earthly culture can endure in God's presence, Only those who are in Christ. Those who exalt "culture" above the Body of Christ are not His

Не передать словами смешанных чувств. Я ждал будто 20 лет чтобы услышать эти аранжировки. Наверное это моя любимая музыка, она изменила мою жизнь. Но время меняется, и кажется мне, что не всё идёт легко. Замечательная солистка явно чуть стесняется в роли Уитни Хьюстон, и это не удивительно. Не трудно себе представить, как много желающих «заменить» Уитни, сколько мнений и взглядов на то как это можно и нужно делать. Царствие небесное Уитни Хьюстон и Daryl Coley, навсегда в моём сердце. Никто и никогда Вас не заменит. Слава Богу за то, что мы все разные. Shoobedoo - part is making me laugh a lot, thanks th mr Joey Kibble for that. But also..но так же видно что изменилось что-то. Отношение. Спасибо Вам, за то что эта музыка прозвучала - это настоящее чудо для меня, которого я совершенно не ожидал. Спасибо огромное! С Рождеством Христовым.

Didn't know the SDA's celebrated Christmas, Christmas trees etc? 🤔 Pagan Festival

@JustJoseyJelly 7 ай бұрын

Not all do, as the faith gives room for choice… some will avoid because of the pagan origins. Others will use it as an opportunity to minister as the is the time of year where many are open to the Word. I guess it’s all down to personal conviction

@napturallyyours70 7 ай бұрын

Yes some do! Let me ask you a question? Do you use, accept and handle money? Well surprise! Money was FIRST created for and to honor PAGAN GODS, (the original means of acquiring products and services was through bartering). Just let that sink in.

@patrickorone1149 6 ай бұрын

Please can you share your source of information as I have been studying the history of money. When it was introduced but haven't come across that or your saying what you don't know about. Since many people go to church on Sunday then we can adopt Sunday to win them to Christ. Such reasoning is so dangerous because it leads to double stands. If something of Jesus Christ was thrown into Halloween and many people paid homage to it then we shall also accept it inorder to win and minister to those people. Check your reasoning on this matter. Roman gods have new names now. Actually Christmas is more dangerous than Sunday worship. Its disguised in a form of light... Imagine prophet Elijah telling God that we have been tired the all day. The sun has been too much. Let's use the alter of baal since they have already built these alters and offer a sacrifice to thee. But Elijah because He understood to separate Holy from the unholy, Clean from unclean He repaired the alter of God which was broken and thus he made a sacrifice to the LORD And the fire came from heaven and consumed the offering. If Elijah had the alters of baal to offer an offering to the LORD God. I don't know whether God would honor it.. There is an object lesson for us.. To use Heathen ways to serve God is abominable to Him. You may say okay it's matter of heart God looks at the heart but see. When Saul was commanded to kill the amorites, sheep goats but because he wanted to serve God according to His way he decided to spare some sheep to offer an offering to the LORD. But the consequences of his good intentions led him to lose his kingdom. Right intentions don't justify the means.... God actually knows our hearts and his conclusion on this is our hearts are deceitful and wicked above all things who can know it. The scripture says trust not in your heart no lean not on your understanding. There is no scripture evidence for Christmas celebration. History has shown us its origin. Scripture doesn't support it either. By whose authority do people celebrate Christmas is it God or man made traditions of which God says they worship me in vain. Remember God is seeking those who worship Him in spirit and Truth.... Know who you worship. Worship Him according to His ways not your ways which are so low to the divine standards. Hope this message finds you well.....
