Jan 24, 2012 - lmao you talk about church? but you disagree with religion? so even if you make a church out of no religion. that is still a religion lol. A group with a common belief . hating religion is a bold statement

Jan 25, 2012 - family better than friends ? ... I would not need friends if that was true.

Feb 6, 2012 - Anyone who asks to know God, meets Jesus whether they were expecting to or not, whatever language they speak. ASK

Feb 8, 2012 - @Idasputum not to be a wise ass but iv been asking everyday, for a long time, and no doubt there are good things happening to me all the time, but does that necessarily mean jesus is blessing me... Let me ask you something do you find it awkward that I believe in god but Find having faith in jesus is dillusional?

jordan81197 Says:

Feb 8, 2012 - @Iykim929 what does that have to do with what I'm talking about? Are you asking me a question? Or giving me a personal opinion on something off the subject of what I was talking about?

Mar 8, 2012 - Jesus isn't any more important than a loved one, he might be a loved one to you but he's not more important than your loved ones. This is why I would say the church doesn't have to be your only first family. That sounds sort of cult like.

Mar 12, 2012 - Is Mark addicted to power? Is his wife addicted to manipulation, fame and victimization? The people they are hurting the most are their children. Mark is so filled with rage, he gets off on making people angry. He and Grace are slandering Jesus as they promote themselves and SELL what Jesus already paid the price for. Their children will one day suffer the effects of their parents addictions, which are now public. Any love, patience, joy, gentleness in their ministry? No fruit no Jesus!

Mar 14, 2012 - This was a really good message.

azncutiesinger Says:

Apr 7, 2012 - What about Luke 14:26? Not to hate the person, but in the way that God comes first above all else. It sounds demeaning to make God equal to man just because we are born to mankind in a family, but at the same time family still comes before work, and you don't ignore a blood-related family over the church. both are important, but not nearly as much as Jesus. Hopefully, Jesus, the one who showed us love first, is a "loved one" before anyone else I think.

Padraic54 Says:

Apr 8, 2012 - I can understand Jesus being someone's loved one beyond other loved ones. I just dislike the expectation for him to be in order to get into heaven. It has always seemed to me that God would be too caring to create a system where you have to do something other than be a good person and care for others in order to get into heaven.

azncutiesinger Says:

Apr 8, 2012 - i didn't quite understand that bottom half of what you said, but about heaven via putting him first, i'd say it's a matter of priorities. if someone's top priority is work, everything falls in line to serve that priority, someone's top priority is a sibling, everything falls in line to serve them; if we really understand how great his grace is and the depth of his love, we take our new life to serve him and only him. family and friends fall in line, and what is better than love like His 4 them?

Padraic54 Says:

Apr 9, 2012 - I think that's understandable. What I was saying at the bottom half was that it seems like people who are good people and care about others shouldn't be denied getting into heaven because of an extra requirement like serving God.

Joy2theWorld1995 Says:

Apr 15, 2012 - I'm really bad at serving. To be honest, I have been spoiled my whole life. I was always "daddys little girl" and if I say "I want dessert" he actually gets it for me...

azncutiesinger Says:

Apr 17, 2012 - ahh well i guess it all makes sense and is fair since loving God makes service to him natural; its like proof that the mutual love is valid, because why would I deny my life service if I didn't truly love him with all I had? It's more like, if you say you love God, where's the proof, or fruit, of that? Just as love for family may result in helping with family chores, or love for friends shows itself in giving rides etc. is that what you mean?

OtakuMovies Says:

Apr 24, 2012 - You don't but thousands of your religious people do.

Padraic54 Says:

May 5, 2012 - No, I mean it's an injustice to say just because you don't worship God you don't get to see your loved ones. It's horrible. Everyone has ethical obligations, including God. God has to act ethically in dealing with people, he can't let people be excluded from heaven because of something as petty as not worshiping him.

May 5, 2012 - Wow. Mind= Blown. You helped put the puzzle I have been struggling with for a WHILE together. Thank you Pastor Mark, thank you!

miketna4ever Says:

May 14, 2012 - because they have nothing better to do with their time so brush em off i'm atheist and i used to be that way but now i'm just ehh about everything and i really can't stand when either side jumps on the other for any reason other then they think it's funny

kozychik Says:

May 15, 2012 - What compels atheists to comment on these videos is arrogance - the number one sign of demonic oppression. Having chosen Satan, they must now serve him by spreading hate and leading more people away from God. Satan deceives them into believing that they know better than the rest of us and have no need of a higher power. The fact that their false beliefs come from Satan is evident in the fact that their comments are always devoid of peace, joy & love; and filled with sarcasm, mockery and pride.

May 17, 2012 - i think Jesus fascinates atheists, thats how awesome he is

lucasdeusemdebate Says:

May 17, 2012 - "JACK SQUAT!!!!"HAHAAAAA!!!! MARK DRISCOLLLLLLL!!!

kozychik Says:

May 17, 2012 - I think you may be right. I like that theory best; that's how I'm going to look at it from now on.:)

rauleeter Says:

May 30, 2012 - man this is good..lol. Thank you Pastor Mark! I know i am doing my best to get past my hurts and disappointments in church even though it is an imperfect institution. Last night i was at a mens group and i feel convicted because at times there are bros i am not 'feeling' but i am working on getting past that because at the end of the day maybe God is using these people to refine me/perfect me.
