A big thank you for posting this video.

Well worth watching and thanks Alan for changing it to the longer version. 

 

It should be shown in every school . 

I wasn't if people would want to watch the longer version

Thank you for presenting this video Brother. I changed the one you had, the 10 minute version, for a longer version. It is well worth the 45 minutes for anyone to watch, yet, those who are going through hard times in their life, it is a must see.

God Bless,

Alan

Your Welcome and God Bless You!!!

This video made me take a second look at my life. He has truly shown that there are still some hope for our world.

This scripture really hits home to me cause I trust the Lord in my prayers to see people with God's eyes and ears.

I'm glad to hear that.

 

Matthew 6:22-23

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"

I think of the expression, garbage in, garbage out. When at work I was hearing filth come out of the mouths of wicked people. Seeing the darkeness and hatred in them spewing forth, it was inclined to rub off on me a little. I would have to go home and read God's word and receive the washing of the word and the renewing of my heart and mind in the Holy Spirit.

I have only seen a few people who were truly demon possessed, but I was amazed at the pure darkness in them. And when I got home my family seemed so full of light and so refreshing. I went to my pastor and told him what I had seen, and again the light in those Christians was beautiful. It is no wonder that the early artists put halos around the head of Christians.

 

Thanks for your opinion on the topic

I come up with an understanding of this scripture is...

 

Fragrance meaning people are thankful to God.

It is like how Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, people around him with despair, desperation, crying and moaning. Jesus first words were, "thank you Lord". With Thankfulness is like a Fire that consumes all the bitterness and leaves a sweet aroma of grace, we draw attention and blessings from God.

Thanks for the wise words

 

 

Since Jesus is the light of the world He shines through a person who loves Him and and everyone sees that light in the person's life. If there is no love of Jesus in the person all the world sees is darkness because of the sin.

I really like that.  It's sort of the same view I have.  If Jesus lives in us, then we see life as He does with compassion, mercy, and love -  because He is the Light within us, not darkness.  It reminds of John 3...

 

John 3

¹⁷ For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved.

¹⁸ He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.

¹⁹ And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.

²⁰ For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved.

²¹ But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.

 

I like those scriptures

I had once heard a few different people explain this bible scripture, but I would like more opinions.

"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him. For we are to God the aroma of Christ among those who are being saved and those who are perishing." 

 

 

It tells me to be careful what I let my eyes see. "The light of the body is the eye". The lust of the flesh enters through our eyes.

 

If we allow our eyes to see the darkness of this world, our body will be filled with darkness.

 

But if we guard our eyes against darkness, our body will be filled with light.

 

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." 1John 2:16

But how can we help our brothers and sisters if we blind ourselves from the problems and evils in the world?

 

We are to come out from among them and be seperate, and touch not the unclean thing.

 

We are to help others by example. Living the Christian life is our greatest testimony and opportunity to help others.

 

Thank you for the wisdom

Blessings harris,

      We will see many things on this journey through life but we must not forget the "eyes of our heart" ........we have alot of choices before us,everyday.........& one will do well to focus the eyes of one's heart on the Lord,Godly things,things eternal & lovely,Heavenly things.......

       Remnantrob spoke of "entertainment" & it is especially true to  choose wisely what we watch on TV & other forms of being "entertained"...............if you take in "light"& "Godly" that is what you will reflect & "put out "...............

        God bless you,may the desires of your heart be of the Will of God,may the "eyes" of your understanding see the Wisdom & Understanding of the Holy Spirit..........in Jesus Name

                                                                                                                                           With love,in Christ-Kwik

Well said sister in Christ

Does what we view with our eyes bring Glory to God?

Not all the time.

It tells me to be careful what I let my eyes see. "The light of the body is the eye". The lust of the flesh enters through our eyes.

 

If we allow our eyes to see the darkness of this world, our body will be filled with darkness.

 

But if we guard our eyes against darkness, our body will be filled with light.

 

"For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world." 1John 2:16

But how can we help our brothers and sisters if we blind ourselves from the problems and evils in the world?

When I read this I think that it is important to guard the avenues of your soul.  Whatever you let into your body with your eyes will either allow your eyes to be a lamp that lets light in or allows it to be darkened because you let in whatever you wish.  This is especially true when choosing entertainment.  Just my 2 cents.

I appreciate your 2 cents.

Welcome to Worthy!

Since Jesus is the light of the world He shines through a person who loves Him and and everyone sees that light in the person's life. If there is no love of Jesus in the person all the world sees is darkness because of the sin.

wow i didn't think of it like that.

Matthew 6:22-23

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!"
