Great video! It really sounds like a great book to read and re-read continuously. And the fact that it is freely available through the web archive helps too. :)
@@sstephan14 100% well worth reflecting on
Wow, and I thought I was a slow reader.😛
Thank you for this. I just jotted this down on my arm! New subscriber!
So pleased this was helpful for you - welcome to the channel :)
You won’t like Derek when he is angry.😉
It should be titled: 3 Good Habits I should have had.
@@PeterVanDeMotter Yes I definitely should have had them!
Good video here. Keep it up sir.
Thanks so much for the encouragement
I say it all in my head. Am i meant to say it out loud?
Yes sometimes that can help
yeah...keep ear tickling.
This is great, Derek. A very helpful explanation that can be shared with friends
Thanks Mark - glad you found it helpful

Cheers for the support Lawrence. Appreciate it
at 40 you get more disappointment than success that's life get used to it

I remember the day I realised this - blew my mind!
Another good one, Derek.
Thanks Lawrence - glad you liked it
God always allows bad things to happen. We are fallen, and bad and evil is around us. We are 'tested' by how we deal with it. We don't grow in theosis if all remains 'lovely' and easy. It is in the fallen world and sin which helps and pushes us to reach for Christ and his comfort. I've learnt to not worry myself with the bad things in life, as Christ is always there, and if we have faith and live for Christ, then nothing is too much. I learnt this when I became Orthodox. God bless you and your work.
Nice one. thanks for sharing your experience (although God doesn't always allow bad things to happen - I think He protects us from sooo much)
Thanks Derek, really helpful and so true to my life
Thanks for your comment Tony - glad it was helpful
Can I ask a daft question? Who is Jesus praying to if he is himself God?
There are no daft questions. Jesus shows us that God is 3 persons. God = the unity of the Father, Son & Holy Spirit. God is a community of relationships. So when Jesus (the son) talks to the Father, we get a peak inside.
@@alittlenudge1 Ah ok, that’s fascinating. Thank you 😊
8:25 Great advice on the fourth thing. Wish I had that. Thanks!

So you think that God wanted you to build an extension rather than save the lives of African orphans? And you used the Bible to justify that? This is one of the most ludicrous things I’ve ever heard.
I didn't no. That was someone else.
@ But you kept the money, despite knowing it was destined for people more in need. I really don’t think this is how the Bible is meant to be interpreted and you should really consider donating the money you received to the people who should have received it.
@@GoldenRivetThat is definitely something I'm going to do.
It didn’t sound like it in the video. It sounded like you justified taking the money that was meant for impoverished orphans in Africa with Ecclesiastes 5:19 that according to you says if someone else says God wants you to have money, then that’s ok. This is the problem with justifying life choices with small passages of the Bible - they get taken wildly out of context to justify unchristian acts. Taken in the whole context of the philosophy of Christianity, you have not behaved in a morale way. I hope you make the right decision going forwards, and may God have mercy on your soul.
@GoldenRivet really interesting viewpoint. thanks for sharing
This story is insane... So you save up a modest pot of money that was originally intended for your extension, you givee it away to the church fundraiser and then the next day a lady you know just gives you the full amount for the extension? Do i have that right?
Yes that is exactly what happened. although we feel God prompted us to give our money away first. Which is totally crazy.
I try to make money, but give some away to those who really need help. I see it as one being's attempt, through its efforts, to bring happiness to another being. The reward is the feeling of bringing happiness to another being. Not into organized religion as it's been hijacked by too many egos and agendas.
Love this - what a gift you are to those around you. (worth checking out the original Jesus story though)
Good job 🎉
Thanks - glad you liked it

With the current geopolitical issues? Yeah no thanks. Imma be planning for the worst.
Pleasantly surprised you mentioned Thom Yorke - and was wondering, if you have seen Radiohead’s official music video for “Man of War”. The reason I am asking you this, is due to the fact that many modern men, unfortunately, find themselves in a predicament quite similar to that of the main character, as played by Dylan Kammerer… running away from problems, whether real or imaginary. But I digress. Thank you so much for your graceful words encouragement, and restoration of the faith! With love and appreciation, from Kazakhstan.

Cheers for watching David. Appreciate the feedback

Your content is good but your channel has some problems, so your channel subscribers are not increasing and video views are very low, if you want I can share your channel problems.
Grow up you are not a child
If you ever do hear God. Go take your medication
This is an interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing
@@alittlenudge1 you are welcome

Thank you Derek for speaking up and out! I am a committed Christian but you gave me some good food for thought. You are also teaching me how to become a better writer. Thank you, Corinne :-)))
Thanks Corinne - appreciate your lovely comment
This is a very helpful video. I want to follow Jesus Christ and be a disciple
Great to hear this - hopefully the rest of my videos will help you with this
Great, thanks Derek, you got a lot in, in the short time, thanks for your word, ver =y helpful, be blessed.
Cheers Andy - appreciate the positive feedback
Keep doing …awesome video!! All the best.
Thank you - appreciate the support
Trust is what it's about, indeed. There are those who may think that just because the Creator is so vastly incomprehensible and in control, it may not mean that God wants what is good or right for you. The story of Christ with the disciple in the boat is helpful, though. As it is belief in Christ's utter love for us that provides the assurance. I'm about to lose my business, and no idea what I'll do afterwards. But I'm not at all worried, as I have to trust in Christ that whatever comes along will be for my benefit, no matter how difficult it might be.
Sorry to hear you're going through a tough time. Hopefully this video helped.
Thank you, @@alittlenudge1 I commented because I totally agree with your message of trust in God, and the radical difference that makes. My post was simply an affirmation of what you said. 😊
