I agree with the majority of what you said. My issue isn't with what you are saying because for the most part it's true, but if you are going to refer to the bible to help you define what marriage is, which you should, then you need to watch the the vulgarity, because people will not take you at your word even though you are speaking life to them
Colossians 3:8
"But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth."
yo...this is real...and the 3 month thing would definitely help some people out. the only reason someone would get angry, is if they were doing the most.
I agree on everything that you are saying but GOD does need to be in the mist of this all....not attacking you or anything but just BE CAREFUL of the words you use to get threw to people b/c if you are cussing then the first thing people say is " who is listening to him? He is talkin about things in the Bible but cussing!" JAMES 3:10 OUT OF THE SAME MOUTH COME PRAISE AND CURSING. MY BROTHERS , THIS SHOULD NOT BE.
just to add to what other people mentioned about God, i noticed that you made reference to God a lot. you seem like a good person who enjoys telling the truth, but that alone does not guarantee us our space in Heaven..we need to be born again and believe that Jesus Christ died for our sins....
having mentioned that, the message is quite on point.
What advice do you have for single brothers and sisters who have children and are trying to get potential mates?
Second, what would make a 30 yr old single man with no kids, a decent job, nice car, and good looks, fall for a 38 yr old, woman whos non educated,single parent of 3 and a grandbaby, who has resided in all the major hoods in Houston, no car, and no class.......straight HOODRAT? Please tell me who's doing the most in this situation? They live together, but he's complaining and trying to get at me......I'm everything she's not, and i've vowed to never "do the most" but it makes me say hhhmmm?
You are right....and you give good principles. These morals originate from the bible...but we can not expect people living in the flesh (as you mentioned in one of your other videos) to actually abide by these guidelines. Only the Holy Spirit given to those who place their faith in Jesus Christ will come close to executing this type of lifestyle. These things are common sense, but the Enemy rules this world and those without God are left with two much temptation, and two little of God's word hidden in their hearts to survive.
Also, I need to mention that you can not pick and choose which parts of Christianity or the bible you will choose to abide by. I really find it confusing and disturbing when people say they are christians but condone behavior that it forbids? In your words..."it just don't work that way". So if you are quoting the bible and Jesus just as you would quote Ghandi and Buddha, then that it fine. But for anyone to claim....I know the God of the bible, yet you believe things like....all roads and religions lead to God, or fornication is ok as long as you use a condom....hey you are not a Christian at all....you do not take on all the beliefs of Christ. And BTW he never asked us to be perfect.....you could fornicate, or lie, or cheat everyday but if you AGREE or CONFESS your sins God is faithful and just to forgive you. That's the beauty of Faith in Christ....you don't have to live a "Good" life to get to heaven....you just have to believe AND that means take on all the beliefs of the bible.
I think that there is a lot of TRUTH to what he is saying! So many people try and play house when they dont have any business doing so! I loved this blog, keep up the good work :-)
You know people are so funny with the Christian-ness. I am Christian far from perfect. Your message is REAL, your cuss words show me that you are just being you, and in truth makes it easier for me to relate to you. Not preachy just one of the boys making a good point. Jesus knows I cuss and He loves me still. LOL!
Thank you Lewis, This came right on time... I needed to hear this b/c I have been there and still find myself going back..This message helped me to to take my power back!Keep up the realness and the good work..Love your accent by the way...
Hey Lewis,Your analogy is right on point. I don't see what was wrong with what you said, some people don't want to hear or listen to the truth because it hurts but the truth shall set individuals free from every uncertainties of life. Its very hard now for people to include the word of God in daily lives, when individuals like you lewis put the word of God in daily understanding then I know that the word of God will always be the TRUTH, the WAY and the LIFE. It just brings so much happiness in my heart, I never heard about you until one of my friends on facebook put up one of your videos on facebook yesterday. The bottom line is, please keep speaking the truth because there are some people out there that wants to find the truth in nothing but lies and in worldly things which all is vanity. Pay no attention to no one....BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO ARE PERSECUTED BECAUSE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS FOR THEIR IS THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN (Matt ch5 vs 10). God Bless.
I completely agree with everything you said. I lived this before I got married.
Before I got married, I was single. The day before I got married, I was single.
No, I did not cook for my husband before we got married. I didn't do his laundry. I didn't clean his house. I didn't live with him. Etc. Etc.
But the day I married him, all of that changed because for me there was a clear difference between what I would do for a boyfriend and what I would do for a husband, and I had a lot of boyfriends.
Obviously, everyone is different, but that's what worked for me. I've been married 14 years after only knowing him for 6 weeks.
Actually, he had a lot of valid points. The only one that I didn't really agree with is not being around each other. You have to lay around each other just to see if you can stand em. If you are not constanly with each other, then you are going to miss a lot of flaws.
When I say lay around, I am not speaking about sleeping with each other. I mean just sitting around and carrying on a conversation. So that when you have your three month evaluation test, you can put things on the table. You can make an informed decision on if you want to continue with the person.
I believe that when you date someone, you are not dating just to date which a lot of people do but you are looking at this person as a potential husband or wife. And if I can't hang with you for a few hours without thinking don't you have something else to do on a constant basis, then there is no need to wiat for the three months. Release them.
Dude this was some good shyt. There wasn't a point I didn't agree with, because I share and practice most if not all of these points in some way.....people need to watch this video for what he is saying not to critique the presentation.
I agree with you 1000%, I just wish I could have heard this advice 5 years ago and saved myself the pain and heartache, especially at the 4:57min and 9:00min marks.
