dude how can you be so judgmental, God doesn't judge our appearance he judges our hearts!1 Samuel 16:7 – "The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (NIV)
so what if he wearing clothes the world wears,
amen to that we can't judge people no matter what they might look like. we should look upon the heart of the people.
Oh my gosh. this is intense and amazing. Wow. Props to him for being bold and letting God use him like this! 🙂 Thanks!
This is so so dope. #Truth
This is so so dope. #Truth
You should make sure to take LSD for you Sunday's sacrament…And you should do yoga and practice sexual yoga. Learn alot of esoteric knowledge and pray to Yoda (Star Wars) and you will really advance spiritually in unfathomable ways. I like you but I don't think you would be willing to be close to me and feel things and this should change. Pornography is healthy at times. You have done incredibly well to be this free considering the power of oppression that you have dealt with….
You can explore my channel. I'm trying to get it together, but I had alot of trials but hopefully more and better videos soon…You are the only "christian" site that I have posted on. Please feel free to pray & be critical but please don't just outright reject me. "DAVID you are my only hope!!!!" Please allow some spiritual confusion. Set aside thought when you can. The force be with you. LOVE (LSD is optional, but you must tune in & drop out of the old church completely. "Love is all you need"
Talk to me…It was you and your "christian" voice that alone that managed to get through to me…We are in a spiritual battle. You must be very brave. I love you!!!!!
Ha! This is so foolish.
They don't live that way because God told them to. They live that way because of God and because they want to. I know what you mean by seeing people live their whole lives for God. But you gotta see our burden that we see, because we feel sorry for people living in a false reality that they don't know God and that will suffer an eternity in hell whether you believe that or not. You may call it religion but I call it truth.
I used to deal with depression and i would HURT myself, cut deep into the flesh that god gave me. And i feel so despritly sorry about it . David Bowden showed me how important god is and how he loves each and everyone of us. I shouldnt destroy the body that god has given me i should thank him for the life he gave me, Im so thankful now (:
can you translate this please!please
Our god is one that doesn't tell us what to do, we choose to follow him. We live exactly how we want, and Christianity isn't a religion that were you are wrong. Christianity is about having a personal relationship with god.
I totally agree with you, I too feel sorry for people who live in a false reality but I can assure you that it's not Christianity.
The difference between Christianity and other so called religions is that our God raised from the dead, and he is not distant, he is near.
I think you need to look a little more into Christianity because your are living in a false reality. There is hope.
The love of god is all you need.
Why are you so judgmental, do you expect him to wear a white robe?
OK
If I didnt know Christ in my life, Id be down the drain and Im not just saying that. Christ changed me. Dont think you would understand that but thats what I have to say.
O q ele diz Senhor.??
Funny. Am I supposed to tell you that drugs can harm you? Because ignorance aint good at all.
Whoever is found will be stabbed to death. Whoever is captured will be executed. Their little children will be smashed to death right before their eyes. Their houses will be looted and their wives raped." (Isaiah 13:15-16 GWT)
Praise the Lord!
Dang that is good
if i'm not mistaken, In Context, this is a prophecy against the "new babylon" and describing "the destruction of the Chaldean empire" so yes. i do find this a very accurate account of when one nation destroys another.
needless to say, i don't think this is an appropriate place for this discussion (on both sides of the argument). Christian or not, we all can easily agree and appreciate the beauty and emotion behind this written and spoken word. so everyone lets please leave the comments for that
"I will gather all the nations to Jerusalem for battle. The city will be captured, the houses looted, and the women raped . . . Then the Lord will go out and fight against those nations as he does when he fights a battle." (Zechariah 14:2-3 GWT)
Praise the Lord!
"This is what the Lord says: I will stir up trouble against you within your own household, and before your own eyes I will take your wives and give them to someone close to you [to be raped]. He will go to bed with your wives in broad daylight." (2 Samuel 12:11 GWT)
Praise the Lord!
Again, These comments should be to simply appriciate a talented artist's incredible work. Using it to argue religious differences is not something i want to be apart of.
So if we could now reserve all comments to the sole purpose of the appreciation of this beautiful and breathtaking piece of written word, that would be great. Thankyou.
Who said anything about "[u]sing [these comments] to argue religious differences?" I've not argued anything. Do you object to my recitation of Holy Scripture and subsequent offerings of praise to the perfect, loving, and just god of the Bible?
This really his hard on me. No matter what happens we can always look at the cross and know God died on the cross for us. For the sins we have committed and the ones we will commit.
this a new generation
wat
Thank you. Just thank you :')
i just came here for the poetry.. you all need to relax and let people be what they want…
gay.
So good! Death has no glory, death has no sting, we are all children of the King! Glory to God forever and ever!
This only speaks of Jesus Christ.
If that were true, there would be no such thing as parking tickets and cannibalism would not be a crime.
David: a man after God's own heart.
God bless.
I met him at falls creek
I literally started crying when he said razorblades.. On Friday it was exactly one month since my last time
Thank you for this video! It is powerful, because it speaks of the Truth that is alive and beating in our hearts!! We are FREE from death, in this world and in the next, and FREE to live for CHRIST!
@dayna759– You're not alone. It's been a year and three months for me. You're in my prayers. 🙂
Love this
Beyond inspiring <3
+100 days of evangelism then how do you explain that Jesus said none is holy but him, for all are sinners?and yet he says that though we sin, and asking for forgiveness is not holiness, we can still come to the father through him?
And I saw Him Death with his mighty sting
Exhaling in every breath a plight He brings
To the grave he gave victory triumphing over life
With the fear of endlessly bendlessly we hide from our mortality
Mortally wounded from birth we lie to ourselves from infancy
Infinitely investing time in a life that will inevitably be taken
by this incredible creature that now stands before me, Death
He manifests himself on ordinary days his six foot stomach growls with hunger pains
For his meal he cannot wait so we are forced to taste him even before the grave
We are all dying
There is no other way
I see him in haitian and japanese earthquakes
Hes hating the escapees of his cruel wakes
I see him in poverty
Impoverishing the quality of life for regions that are reachable
And in those with the reach who find reason not to reach out to treat what is treatable
I see him in disease taking life out of uninfected yet affected families
I see him in oppression, pressing down on the oppressed and the oppressor
I see him in depression, in prosaic, in pain pills, in razor blades and bedside wills
I see him in abuse: physical, mental, emotional misuse
I see him in spiritual confusion, material obsession, physical possession
I see him in marital transgressions, child with remorse from an ugly divorce
I see him in our slavery to appearances, appearing to care more about our images than those in dying villages
I see him in our ignorance, ignorant truth with some comfortable inference
I see his emergence in our churches as we pull out emergency verses as deterrence to religious differences
going on the defensive, defending our way of worship, making community worthless
Death is killing us before we even enter the surface of the Earth
We are in service of his words it is finished the end of our birth
We cannot hide from his wretched curse for death and his grave we constantly rehearse
Even God himself was coerced
Divinity immersed itself in humanity, humbly taking on flesh scorning vanity
The world saw his way of life as insanity, insisting he cease speaking of this radical Christianity
but man found him guilty, accusing God of blasphemy
Performing the ultimate usurpation by slaying Christ on Cavalry
But through their cowardly cross, Jesus embossed mankind with amnesty
Championing over death with the beauty of his fatal injury
And I know, many still doubt and rightfully so bringing up this inquiry
What does that poor Jewish man dying on a Roman tree 2000 years ago have to do with me?
I reply simply, Christ came and died to marry his bride to be
And though death could kill the groom in could not kill the ring
God made us one with Christ and life in matrimony’s cling
Now the undying church his everliving wife can sing
Oh death where is your sting, oh grave where is your victory?
For we have risen above your misery, we will not succumb to your finality
We have overcome your infamous mystery and the infinite reign of Christ ministry
For we are the resurrection, the insurrection of fatality
We are the risen deity, the intersection of a dead yet living body
We live through imperfections for we die to become holy
We cannot be contained by the mouth of the grave
We are the willing slaves, the ones that rose from the garden cave
We pass through death to new birth
We gave the grave to the Earth
We claim today the cross’ worth
The body of his rising, we are
The risen Church
Yaus!!!
Did he write this himself? this is really good!
We play David's poetry videos a lot in our church, but nobody likes them. They tolerate it until it's over. 🙁
