  1. Hi there what would you say to me i suffer depression for 20 years i read listen to the bible every day sermons i pray all the time meditate and every day i feel horrible never feel God i no his real my faith has got stronger in 20 years but i feel so sad unhappy horrible i cant put it in words its so bad how long can this go on

  2. Listening from Brazil. Me and my wife are thankful to god for Tim and Kathy's ministery. Thank you Gospel in life for the podcast and now for this series, belivers outside New York and USA are reached and blessed for them

  3. I really like the analogy of the child with a plastic steering wheel when our Father is actually driving the car. We so often think we are in control when God is ultimately in control. Love it. BTW – The video looks so good. I'm curious what camera and settings are being used?

  4. Found this meditation so helpful especially as my family and I are currently going through a difficult time during this pandemic. I know that God is on the throne and is sovereign in this situation. All we can do is seek him through his temple and trust him.

  5. Just finished reading King’s Cross by Tim Keller. He gives so much perspective on suffering and hope. And hope that comes out of thinking, despite the mockery of today’s pessimism in the name of intellectuality. God bless you.

  6. I've listened to this sermon twice. I recently began to believe that God always worked for the good of His children and sometimes I want to know HOW He's working. This is not about the current virus panic. It's a family situation that I've prayed about for years and now seems to be heading toward some kind of answer and I have anxious moments about what will happen. Prayers appreciated. I would give more information but it's a long story.

  7. Tim.. I have listened to your good works over the last year and a half every time I can.. God comes through so tangibly he is no longer an idea to me, as He tends to with relatively new ‘born agains” (about 10 years now, and I’m 72) — but He lives as my Master and Savior as a visceral ever-present Trinity of Power, Grace and Hope… Many have been blessed by your service.. Keep going friend…..

  8. The Bible is lies, falsehoods, errors, contradictions, absurdities, anachronisms, pseudography, forgery and myth. A flawed work of man capped off with the 27 books of the New Testament written in poorly composed Greek. The deity portrayed in the Bible is a phantom. The God of the Bible is just a reflection of humanity including some of its worst aspects. Jesus though, was actually a real historical figure. History and reason tell us the following: 1) Jesus was a gob-shite preacher from a shit-hole province of the Roman Empire 2) Jesus thought the World was gonna end and he was wrong 3) Jesus thought he would be ruling the new Kingdom of God as the hand of God on Earth and he was wrong about that too. 4) Jesus was a jew 5) Jesus and his immediate followers did not believe Jesus was God. They were right. They expected Jesus to return from Heaven during their lifetimes. They were wrong. 6) Jesus and his immediate followers had little interest in reaching out to non-jews and they insisted that any members of their communities convert to Judaism 6) Jesus would be enraged by the crazy fucked up church which grew up in his name during the 200 years after he died. He would laugh till he fell down with cramp if you told him that his Mom is now said to be a virgin. But he would not be happy to learn that Christians claim him to to be God eternal in some woo woo idea of a triple deity where his followers think they can do magic and turn his wine into his blood and bread into his bones and then consume it…..Jesus would go unholy FREAK if he knew this…And as for the unclean practices of Christians where men do not need to be circumcised, have sabbath on the wrong day and where it is considered OK to eat food prepared by a woman who is having a period, Jesus would go totally postal/ape-shit. Christianity is a fucked up religion invented by people who lied, plagiarised, altered, and forged the gospels and tried to glorify the man and embellish his memory with divinity and miracles and then exaggerate his supposed God-hood. Jesus was nothing other than a faith-healer and rural community exorcist. If Jesus was sent to a Church today and someone explained to him what was going on inside there would be one unholy WTF moment. Jesus would flog the skin off the backs of the idiot gibbering Christians he found inside and then do a big shit on their alter!!! Go-Jesus. Them their Christians are fucking crazy!!!

  9. Romans 8:17-23 KJVS
    [17] And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together. [18] For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. [19] For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. [20] For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, [21] Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. [22] For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. [23] And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.

  10. Yes you can say God is still in Control to someone that lost everything in a Natural Disaster because God told us that the Devil was set loose on the Earth to Cause Destruction " For a Time and a Time Again "(Dan. 7:25b), during these times the "Wise Man Built his House on the Rock" "CHRIST" and "his Treasures are Stored up in Heaven" where Satan can not Destroy. God said it was part of his plan that Satan would be allowed an age of time to cause Earthquakes , Pestilences and Famine and all other life destructive forces while-being Christs Born again Christians were to Spread the Gospel of the Christ to all the World before the End should Come.Then a New Heaven and Earth with God not Permitting Evil to comes upon his people. Centered from a City called "New Jerusalem. God is Such a Master of Speaking to the Hearts of People through the Holy Bible that i am in awe and know he revealed in his style of speaking in the Bible that even "during his lowest time of needing to start the Christian Church and Preach the Gospel to all the Generations" to come " he is better worded than any ever on earth that we praise"! Google "Steven Odber" to see my website witnessing that i have seen evil entities manifested in today's world. I have witnessed in my website that Satan is causing the Natural Disasters not GOD!
