I admire your simple, down to earth and faithful life. No spoiling kids with video games and electronic gadgets. Basic, pure childhood like I had 60 yrs ago. books, trees, outdoors wild and free, wood everywhere in the home...beautiful staircase brings nature indoors. This edifies children to connect with the order in nature, given by God. Playing devotional music as a family. Best lifestyle, ever!
That is a sign of a true christian character alone, simple life how to raise kids as I read the story of the early christians the pilgrims father's, quakers, memmonites, the Anabaptist etc. I salute them. May the Almighty God bless you
And to be honest there are missing out on nothing by having internet because social media is gross and disgusting that to be with nature is the best thing anyone can do. God bless them.
Its so sad that these children have never gotten to spend untold amounts of time playing video games and being on social media and watching funny cartoons with subliminal adult content and worst of all they are having a learn about Jesus and His Salvation and the idea of living forever… how on earth will these kids ever survive without knowing how to fight and play video games and watch anime??? It’s just a shame that they are running free in the fresh air and then they have family worship…. So different from the rest of the world…. Wait…. Maybe I’m the one that is mistaken and maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that the problem with this world begins with a toddler being plopped down in front of a screen and are kept quiet by the entertainment set before them and their brain patterns are completely manipulated by the video/tv screen and then they are programmed into needing to be stimulated from their tv screen…. Today’s kids have been destroyed by social media and there’s no going back. They couldn’t care less about music or playing an instrument bcuz it’s easier to just watch a screen and eat junk food and soda while they’re medicated into behavior compliance
Exactly! Their kids are not missing anything! They are gaining a chance to know Jesus the Christ as their personal Messiah, Lord & King! Amen to their lifestyle.
I think you look like a very sweet family. Your relationship with Jesus is evident and you don’t need to label it.. you’re a blessing to anyone who listens to your family sing!
I’ve been a Christian for many years, and you just refreshed my spirit, brother, and given me a fresh hunger to know the Lord more deeply. God bless you and your dear family.
The relationship with God IS A RELIGION, no matter how much some people try to avoid it. If you check a dictionary, religion means a set of beliefs about God, a way of worship, a worldview, teachings, rules, principles to live by etc. Those who follow the teachings of Christ are called Christians.
@@robert123ro I meant it’s not _ just_ a religion. It’s not ritual. It’s not man’s traditions. It’s a personal relationship. And I’m sure most people know just what I mean.
True, you can have football as a religion, worshipping your favourite player, religiously going to every game, buying all the mechandise colours etc. Reading up on all the player stats, learning all the chants... If only they were that passionate about Jesus, The one who created them and redeemed them.
@@meriellen8913 I always say I'm not religious but know and love the Lord Jesus. Too many westerners call themselves "Christian"_ even the Luciferian Masonic leaders, like our British Prime Minister and Queen!
Well, I agree with you, but in reality, that's not different than saying "I'm a Baptist or a Presbyterian, etc" because choosing no denomination IS a choice, and all those who choose that certainly don't believe the same or follow Christ the same way. If you're honest, you just develop your own set of values, sense of right and wrong, the way you pray and "practice" your relationship with God. So essentially, you are a "denomination." 😉
There is a lovely discussion going on the comments. Everyone that watches your videos are so positive and it is so refreshing. I look foreard to your videos as they are encouraging. You help to remind us of what is truly important.
Hello Deborah. I am pleasantly surprise at how civil everyone is :) We want to be simple, transparent and unwavering in our pursuit of Jesus and His Kingdom Way. Thanks for chiming in!
Folks, please please please don't turn this into a reality tv show on mainstream cable programming. This is a good platform to follow you guys. Thank you for being authentic and just a breath of fresh air. You are a loving family that is committed to God.
I’m a born again believer and I’m backsliden, lost and confused. Would you pray for me? Life has gotten so difficult and hopeless without Jesus in my life. I tried things my way and it does NOT work! I want to go back to attending church weekly and find a home group too. Please pray that God will lead me to both and move all obstacles. Thank you 😊
Thank you! You don’t need to say much. Your actions, the way you live, the way you love Lindsay and your children show you are a follower of Christ! God bless you my brother in Christ Jesus. ❤️🌺
I love the simplicity of your message. You’re all a beautiful family and I see Christ living through you all. I enjoy your videos and your kids are precious. God bless you all.
How do you guys still exist in a world like this. Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. Give us lady so much hope. It is incredibly peaceful to watch you guys.
I love how comfortable you are in being different as followers of Christ. It’s refreshing and something I want to have. I’m a Christian, but I think too much about what others think of me and it doesn’t make me happy or feel fulfilled. I realize that true joy and contentment comes from knowing Christ and being in Him, which is my desire. I really want to seek God and have His heart. :)
You have a Beautiful family. We’re Messianic ( I’m ancestrally Jewish - but follow Y’shua of Nazareth). Looking forward to watching your videos… always enjoy getting to know eternal mischpocha (family). May Abba bless and keep you all close. Joshua-
Am from India. Great to know you guys. You do a wonderful ministry with music and being so faithful to Jesus. Blessed family. Let you be God's blessing to many around the world.
Thank you for your prayers. Now we have moved from India to Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Praise be to God. One day we will come and meet the Sounds like Reign family.
I love what you bring to the table … I am a 7th day adventist christian and I enjoyed your post as well as the family singing … I was a single mother rearing kiddos when young and your family reminds me of playing the guitar and singing with my children 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Just came across this family ministry …. I’m also 7th day Adventist … also don’t like the labels or religion… but the face that we are followers of Jesus living according to the bible
I too have embraced the Seventh Day Adventist religion. I love being an SDA because truth, wholistic truth is presented. The same truths presented in this video by Brackin. Yes it's relationship that our Lord desires. Thank yuu so much for your presentations. So happy discovered them.
Brackin, that was really a great message! I loved where you said our Lord isn't worried about religion (i.e. Denominations), but relationships. That is really the core!
Yes it is. Of course, in order to have a deep, long-lasting relationship with someone (our Father God included) we want to know more and more about Him each day. And as we have learned more about Jesus, we are compelled by everything He taught - ranging from love, forgiveness, marriage, money, and everything else in between. His way - the way of the Cross - is worthy of our all! Blessings :)

That is an interesting secondary definition you pointed out Paula : ) ... Sounds Like Reign is clearly spending lots of time getting to know our Abba, and "walking the walk" in a way that inspires and motivates. Blessed to have discovered your vlog : )
I love the testimony you are sharing. You are sharing the most precious of truths. May our Lord continue to bless your family, and may His family continue to grow through what you are sharing.
If you’re going to focus on Yahshua (Jesus), then you would walk as He walked which was following Torah and the set apart days perfectly. We cannot be perfect as He was but we can do our best to please Our Heavenly Father by obeying Him which also shows our love for Him. The Sabbath is the 7th day and it was sanctified from creation. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Be blessed.
@Konstantin Ridaya Yep, you sorrow filled alright. Matthew 7:23 " “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!ʼ1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15." 1 John 2:3 " And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.1 Footnote: 1See 3:6." 1 John 2:4 " The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. "
@Little Mary You speak some truth. But why do you call anyone paster same as the Catholics call them father? Call no man "Pastor" Mat 23:9 - And call no man your father (G3962-patēr) upon the earth: for one is your Father, (G3962-patēr) which is in heaven. Strong's G3962 - patēr πατήρ The word pastor comes from the Greek word pater' It is found in the following verse. Matthew 23:8-12 " “But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi,ʼ for One is your Teacher, the Messiah, and you are all brothers. " " “And do not call anyone on earth your 👉father(G3962-patēr)👈, for One is your Father(G3962-patēr), He who is in the heavens. " " “Neither be called leaders, for One is your Leader, the Messiah. " “But the greatest among you shall be your servant. " “And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. " Now if we check out what the Strong's definition has to say about this word we can see possibly why Messiah instructed us to NOT proclaim this word upon anyone in regards to being our ______! Strong's: G3962 - patēr G3962 - πατήρ (metaphysical: .... one who has infused his own spirit into others, who actuates and governs their minds) Esentially it is christianities way of deceiving the people into doing as the Catholics do and have their assembly members call their leader their father/pater/pastor and unknowingly submit their spiritual authority to him! I share this in love, for those whom it has been appointed. Shalom,
@Little Mary Shalom again, Time is short. Why do you yet promote the idolatrus image of the symbol of Baal on your picture? ua-cam.com/video/pSK5GYUOB5I/v-deo.html
Brilliant message the relationship not the religion and that my brother is the universal link to the bridge of Unity, the Church is in the people in there 💓 God Bless
Jesus said I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. John the Baptist. God gave John the name of Baptist. True Baptist are the true church, and the Bible back this up. All other denominations are man-made.
Jesus said if you love me keep my Commandments. Jesus said not to forsake the assembling of yourselves together in church. So you can’t have a good relationship with Jesus without obedience.
Forgiveness by the blood of Christ unto atonement ! The key word is, Redemption! Being in LOVE with Christ! Not saying, I love Christ! That's like saying; I love ice cream, I love my cat. I love, __________ fill in the blank!
I am from Amish descent, Even though plain looking, I can tell you’re not Amish, For starters, Amish men shave their mustaches, nor would they ever wear checkered clothing. But I do enjoy your video, and applaud the salvation message you bring... God Bless.
I wondered if they were Amish too, I'm not from America so I don't really know exactly what the Amish look like. Just that their clothes look very plain, modest... like something you would expect people to have worn a couple of hundred years ago. No makeup etc.
Blessings My wife's mother's family were German Jews who converted to Mennonite during WW2. We attended a Mennonite Church until recently. I am now where you are as far as fellowship. Making our way out of the institution. I soooo appreciated this video. ❤🙏🏼
Well, I have news for your wife that she is STILL a Jew and all the kids are Jews as they are born to a Jewish mother. But as an Ashkenazi Jew myself, I will say that whatever believe you have is fine so long as it does not involved maligning anybody in the process. I'm not religious myself however I will say that God really doesn't give a shit what anybody believes. All God wants (at least according to our Jewish tradition) is that you be a good and charitable person.
@Lagolop And God is pure and holy and we all fall short of his glory and he wouldn’t agree with you that “he doesn’t give a s***” because he doesn’t have a filthy mouth and on the contrary he is very concerned with what people believe because he gave them the truth and many reject the truth to their own destruction. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life and no one goes to the Father except through him...because none are good but God so no one can approach him but through Christ only. That’s the truth God gave freely, and rejecting the truth only destroys the soul. We can’t approach God without Christ but God can surely approach us and when he does it’ll be judgment day and you don’t want to be approached by God naked without Christ.
I live up in Canada, I come from Southern Alberta, my ancestry on my Dad side is Mennonite. I don’t know much about my mom side, only fact I do know is they were Catholic. I no longer go to a Catholic Church, I do attend evangelical church. My sister and I watch online from home now because of Covid. When I saw the area in which you live which is your land and where your home sits and you’re out in the woods, I figured you were probably either in Idaho or the state of Washington but now I see you live further south. You have such a sweet family, so happy to have found you on UA-cam it’s Christian-based. Most people are into more heavier upbeat music I prefer your music that’s calm soothing and so genuine. I love the name, It sounds like Reign.
Hi walking 🚶♀️ in faith, I am faith in Christ also living in Toronto,Canada I love that you enjoy their calming songs and that is honestly GOD’swill. I see how meek, lowly and gentle, humble his wife looks such a calm spirit. She looks holy and beautiful in her natural state. I love to see women in their most natural state.
I just found your channel searching for "His Eye is On the Sparrow," then found the Little Pilgrim Songs, and I feel very uplifted and encouraged, as I've been looking for independently produced children's songs to introduce to my own kids as a respite from this confused and confusing world. Thank you!
Thank you so much Sir. I do appreciate you sharing snippets of your life, and reminding us to commence by being humble. I needed to hear this today. May our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, continue to bless your family, your ministry, and the work of your hands.
God bless you and your family. Your simple message came at a most critical time for me. I was *drowning* in the overwhelming circumstance of life and you guided me through that moment and to go quietly to my knees before Jesus
My life and favorite verse is: Galatians 2:20 "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Hey dear family,this is Ronaldo from Brasil São Paulo. I would like to say that I really enjoy and worship God with you guys through UA-cam. I believe in Jesus Christ as my savior nas Lord. Thank you so much for the beautiful and lovable worship to God. May God bless you richly. Love in Christ, Roni
Sou do Brasil, Rio de Janeiro. Tenho essa curiosidade, essa família é Amish ? Pra mim, tanto faz, gosto dos hinos, sei que o Senhor Deus está sendo louvado. Não sei inglês, então minha curiosidade continua. Alguém pode responder ??
You can see your devotion and submission to our Lord in your faces and the childlike faith that you have. We are grateful that their are people like you who honestly want to be obedient to our Father in heaven and witness of our Lord Jesus Christ. What a precious family. May the Lord hold you in His love!
I walk my neighborhood praying over it. A week ago a friend sent me your site. I now pray and carry your music, it is such a blessing. May the Lord bless you even more.
I’ve been wanting to do this in my neighborhood. One day I will. I have a bit of anxiety when I think about actually walking around my neighborhood. It’s not bad or anything, it’s just that I can’t see very well. I mean I could get around. I don’t know. Just need to do it I guess. Thank you for the encouragement to do so. God bless!
@@bemak78 I understand your hesitation. I just started with a short distance an have increased as I felt led. I have enjoyed the walk in the sun, made discoveries and met new people. It has been a wonderful adventure. Plus I have done what the Lord has played on my heart. Just try a few houses on a nice morning and the fear will pass and you won't be alone. I'll be praying for your success!!!
So so true all about our relationship with Jesus Christ..so sad people get hung up on religion or what denomination they are..your family singing together lifts me up so much I can see Jesus so much in you all..I would love to live how you do..God bless you all
Amen brother. I grew up Catholic, but through Jesus, I’ve experienced wonderful fellowship with Baptist’s, Presbyterians, and many others and I too am grateful for the Jewish roots of our faith and our savior!
7Steveski same here! I experienced true freedom in Christ and ALL the explanations I had zillions of questions about. So different than the Catholic Church.
somewhere I read that Jesus said something like "you'll not find the Creator in building's of sticks or stone but in the hearts of humankind " ! lovely accepting advice for us!
God has written His law on our hearts so that we are without excuse to know and follow Him. Jesus shows us the only Way to our Father God which is in complete abandonment to self and complete trust in His precious blood. Take care Nanna :)
@@petergregoric1019 no but sons of God is mentioned, that's a relationship isn't it? we are sons of God by faith, which means you can't lose your salvation because God doesn't do abortions.
@@freegracecommunitychurch Amen, salvation is by faith alone and can't be lost. What I'm trying to say is that the idea of having a 'relationship' is a fraud because it's not found in scripture. Plus it's a very hazy term, and can be defined multiple ways by different people. We should use the words that the holy ghost teacheth.
I liked your opinion. I’m almost 63, I grew up Catholic but I haven’t identified as one since I started reading the Bible 5 years ago, I Love the Lord God Jesus more than the Catholic religion asked of me.
@@Angie-hi5bt Dear friend in Christ, as a Christian I wouldn't speak like that of my brothers in Christ whichever denomination they belong to. I'm a Catholic Italian man and I don't think we are the synagogue of devil! Christ's Church is the living Body of Jesus and God's people all over the world regardless of the various denominations or confessions. "That they all may be one" (John 17: 21), this is the not yet fulfilled prayer of our Lord Jesus to the Father. I'd feel ashamed to judge so bad my Christian brothers belonging to other Churches or confessions: it would be like judging God's will that we are one Church in His beloved Son! I use to hear the inspired songs of this wonderful Christian family and I give thanks to the Almighty God for them and for their bright testimony for Jesus! I have no interest in their confessional belonging: for me they are brothers in Christ who give a beautiful testimony for Him, and that is all!. Their songs (a lot of them are very popular in our communities too) gladden my spirit and let me worship the Majesty of God and the incredible greatness of His love manifested towards us in Jesus our Lord! In many of them I find splendid verses and words of the Bible I use to read and to pray every day. Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ who gives us His Holy Spirit and frees us from our prejudice, hostility and makes us one people in him:" For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility ..." (Ephesians 2: 14). God bless you all!
Well said our brother in Christ. The gospel directs us to no one but Christ. He is the way, the truth and life. You n your family are a blessing. We are praying for you I am also encouraged and learning so much from you guys. Blessings
And we overcome by the blood of the Lamb and the word of our testimony. God bless you, brother, as you speak truth and set a beautiful example of Jesus.
I appreciate your message. I hope that someone who wants to know more will seek out and pray to God for someone to help them read through the bible. There are people out there who are willing to sit and teach and not exasperate or argue. The church is a body of people who meet together, it doesn't matter where you are. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful hopeful message. Your children are adorable.
This man and his family exemplifies the life of Jesus here on earth. Their simplistic life, humility, Jesus centred, gracious and love for others is very refreshing to watch. To God be all the glory.
Simplicity of the heart! I may sound a tad confrontational. But grace unto Salvation isn't about what we wear. How we look. Paul said, not circumcision of the outward appearance. But the circumcision of the inner heart! Christ was humble, yes! But Christ never told his 12 disciples they needed to change attire. Matthew as a tax collector. Peter as a fisherman. Each had different clothing! To be clothed with the Righteousness of God! To be clothes with the Armour of God! I grew up in a denomination that dictated our attire. Yet. The lacked in fruit of the Spirit. The Old Testament Cleary shows that David was a shepard, Shepards clothing. But David was also a king. Wearing Kingly clothing! Finally, Modesty is a must pertaining to our adoption in Christ! It's not about wearing a business suit or wearing plain clothing! That's a work!
I agree with you 100%. I consider myself a Christian who worships in a Baptist Church but I do not consider myself to be a Baptist. I believe people get hung up on denominations. Thank you for this video❤
I loved when he said "Our father God is not interested in religion. He is interested in relationship...."... Such beautiful words.... It's true that God is there for all, for every single creation.... Only we perceive and pray/worship in different manners based on our individual culture and faith.... God, The Omnipotent never changes with culture or religion, what changes is our perception of God... I think it's as simple as that... May God bless everyone...
Your humility is beautiful. Thank you for putting all these good, even if somewhat older, worship songs out there. It seems that most modern "worship" songs are centered around the believer's experience and "blessings" to be had while these songs refocus is on God's glory and power and sovereignty. Also, they are easy to sing along to aand join in the worship. I cannot tell you how refreshing and uplifting that is. Much love from South Africa. 💖
I want to thank you both. I first discovered your music from the video " Give me Jesus " and now sing that song while walking my dogs in Ashland Ohio. I have alot of Amish neighbors and don't think you have an Amish family. What is obvious is your families Love for the LORD. GOD picked the youngest Shepard boy to be King of his people because of his Heart. Heaven will be filled with people from all over the world that have ❤️ Hearts full of Love for the LORD !!! All Praise my KING JESUS . Peace and Love to your whole family my brother. Thanks William ☀️
I just found your Chanel today and I love you all already! God bless you and bless your Chanel. I'm looking forward to knowing you more on you tube! Blessings from your sister in Christ!🙏
@@1hverniz Good works should follow salvation and what believers already saved by faith alone in Christ alone are appointed unto having the Holy Spirit taking up residence. Consequence of a salvation already received and in no way a cause or contributing factor. The justification and guarantee of eternal life takes place before any subsequent good works are carried out. They are a matter of reasonable service, part of progressive practical sanctification (not positional) and which rewards at the Bema seat will be based upon. It's not both faith and works that save the sinner but faith in what Jesus has perfectly done on their behalf through His death, burial and resurrection. We receive the Lord Jesus first, then walk in Him thereafter.
@@1hverniz Still a consequence rather than a cause or fruit rather than the root. Faith without works accompanying is dead in terms of any witnessing impact and just won't make any favorable impression or commend Christ to others, especially those in need and likely to turn them off. That's what the verse is really saying. I'm not saying by any stretch that good works aren't important and should naturally flow without a second thought by those whose hearts have been touched by Grace and made new in Christ. It's just that they don't come into the equation as far as receipt of salvation is concerned. Not seeking an argument either but to give clarity and right division so the Gospel is not confused and obfuscated. Much blessing to you.
This was the second video that I have watched. The first being your music video of "It Is Well" which I happened on when surfing Christian Music on UA-cam. It is one of my favorite hymns and I had never heard it in a female voice. So when I seen the image on the video showing a lady, I wanted to listen and I am very grateful I did. Your voices together are very Spirit lifting. When the music video ended, it carried on into this video and I found myself listening to the description of your faith and beliefs and thinking to myself, that is it! You put into words a clear understanding of what I too believe faith is and is not. Thank you for sharing your experiences online for others to hear and learn from. I am hoping to figure out how to view your videos from the beginning, so my wife and I can follow them together as I know, it will help her in her understanding that there is a difference in living a faith in Christ's teachings and following traditions of a religion. Be well and be blessed
@@myothergem Most women who believe in wearing head coverings do so to show submission to their husbands & to Yahweh. Being submissive to your husband is commanded in scripture. See Ephesians 5:22-33. The Bible also speaks of women covering their heads. See 1 Corinthians chapter 11.
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 1Corinthians 11:14-15.
I just found your channel, and I love how you state your faith. I'd never have guessed Amish or Jewish. Torah observant Christian would be my guess. I'm just glad you are faithful. Blessings!
Lovely video, thank you. I so appreciate that the Lord meets us WHERE WE ARE and takes us to where he wants us to be as we seek him with a humble heart. We all grow and blossom under His grace. Blessings on you and yours With Love From Bandana Gramma!
The Lord does meet us where we are. Of course, He doesn't leave us there though. Like with all of his disciples in the New Testament, He calls us to come and follow Him, to learn from Him. This is our desire. Blessings to you Bandana Gramma!
God bless you and your family and all the work you do for the Lord ! I just found this video and I just had to tell you that you set an awesome example to what the Lord wants His people to be. ❤
The boys just bring so much joy watching them looking at their dad when he talks. They are all so cute. I showed the blogs to my 7yo grandson where the boys were tidying up the house.❤
I am new to your YT channel. I am so happy I found it. My dad passes on last week and I was missing him. My sister found a Bible verse on paper in his bible that he wrote out "Thy Word" PS 119:105 And the verse was written out...It seemed to me the words of a song because it has "Refrain:" in it a few times. So, Long story short I googled it and your BEAUTIFUL Family video came up "He Is Exalted". I watched and listened to your amazing family sing and felt at peace after this difficult week. I can understand and appreciate your view on how you and your family Worship God. My husband and I were raised Catholic. We raised our son Catholic....But the last few years he has turned his back on the Catholic "Religion". He is now 19 years old and we have spoke about it and I can see his point of view. My guidance to him was pretty much the way you explained following Jesus and his ways. There are so many religions out there that follow the ways of our Lord, take and live the best of the ways from all of them. Treat people right, Love All the way Jesus loves each and every one of us, follow his ways and keep praying and learning about him. That is what my advice was to him. I look forward to watching your videos in the future. If we all lived our lives like your 's this world would be a better place. We can't control and change the world but we can live out lives the best way we can like Jesus and be an example to the world.
This video is so full of wonderful information for having a heart for the Lord. If more people followed channels like this, I think their hearts would be encouraged, and they would understand the joy that comes from following the Lord.
Y'all ARE a holy example of faith and living life in a close relationship with God through Christ. Without watching all of your vlogs, but by randomly catching an episode I see the whole family growing closer to God! And I cannot thank you enough for giving me a way to worship & praise our Lord! I begin my alone time with God in song & most often use your songs. So once again, I thank you! May "The Lord bless you, and keep you; The Lord cause His face to shine on you, And be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His face to you, And give you peace." Numbers 6:24-26 (NASB)
I admire your simple, down to earth and faithful life. No spoiling kids with video games and electronic gadgets. Basic, pure childhood like I had 60 yrs ago. books, trees, outdoors wild and free, wood everywhere in the home...beautiful staircase brings nature indoors. This edifies children to connect with the order in nature, given by God. Playing devotional music as a family. Best lifestyle, ever!
That is a sign of a true christian character alone, simple life how to raise kids as I read the story of the early christians the pilgrims father's, quakers, memmonites, the Anabaptist etc. I salute them. May the Almighty God bless you
And to be honest there are missing out on nothing by having internet because social media is gross and disgusting that to be with nature is the best thing anyone can do. God bless them.
Verdade, um belo exemplo pra todos nós, e a bíblia diz pra nos seguir o exemplo dos fiéis.
Its so sad that these children have never gotten to spend untold amounts of time playing video games and being on social media and watching funny cartoons with subliminal adult content and worst of all they are having a learn about Jesus and His Salvation and the idea of living forever… how on earth will these kids ever survive without knowing how to fight and play video games and watch anime??? It’s just a shame that they are running free in the fresh air and then they have family worship…. So different from the rest of the world…. Wait…. Maybe I’m the one that is mistaken and maybe I’m wrong but I’m pretty sure that the problem with this world begins with a toddler being plopped down in front of a screen and are kept quiet by the entertainment set before them and their brain patterns are completely manipulated by the video/tv screen and then they are programmed into needing to be stimulated from their tv screen…. Today’s kids have been destroyed by social media and there’s no going back. They couldn’t care less about music or playing an instrument bcuz it’s easier to just watch a screen and eat junk food and soda while they’re medicated into behavior compliance
Exactly! Their kids are not missing anything! They are gaining a chance to know Jesus the Christ as their personal Messiah, Lord & King! Amen to their lifestyle.
I don't think y'all look like anything but a big happy family that trusts in Jesus. God bless.
Gostaria que tivesse tradução em português, moro no Brasil
I think you look like a very sweet family. Your relationship with Jesus is evident and you don’t need to label it.. you’re a blessing to anyone who listens to your family sing!
I’ve been a Christian for many years, and you just refreshed my spirit, brother, and given me a fresh hunger to know the Lord more deeply. God bless you and your dear family.
Me alao
This was perfect. Thank you for letting people understand Jesus is not a religion but a relationship. Your children are happy and beautiful.
Thankyou for your testimony humbelness
Amen 🙏
The relationship with God IS A RELIGION, no matter how much some people try to avoid it. If you check a dictionary, religion means a set of beliefs about God, a way of worship, a worldview, teachings, rules, principles to live by etc. Those who follow the teachings of Christ are called Christians.
Yes 🙌
@@robert123ro I meant it’s not _ just_ a religion. It’s not ritual. It’s not man’s traditions. It’s a personal relationship. And I’m sure most people know just what I mean.
Having been a Christian for over 50 years, that was one of the best all inclusive explanations of the gospel I have heard. Good job!
I totally agree with your explaination. It's not a religion but a relationship with our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
True, you can have football as a religion, worshipping your favourite player, religiously going to every game, buying all the mechandise colours etc. Reading up on all the player stats, learning all the chants... If only they were that passionate about Jesus, The one who created them and redeemed them.
Jesus said the church is his body. No Relationship with Jesus without being a blood sweating loving member of a church
@@Markph7 blood sweating? Huh?
So you're not really FOR the concept of "freedom of religion" because it really doesn't apply to Christianity, right?
Dapper D “And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”
Luke 22:44
I love the spirit that shines through. I told my wife I would love being friends with you all. Bless you all!
"The best place to start is with a humble heart..."!! Profound and powerful words od wisdom and faith! 🙏🏼😇
I love this. Just found you all out be a friend. I am a Jewish believer. I was saved in 1989 at age 38! Glory to our great God!
Hello Debbie
AMEN Sister!❤🕇🙏
When ppl ask me "what is my religion?", I'll answer them "I'm a follower of Jesus Christ". Thats it 🙂
Very good answer!
I got saved in 1972. I usually tell people I am a Born Again Christian first and a Nazarene second.
And you could just say "I'm a Christian."
@@meriellen8913 I always say I'm not religious but know and love the Lord Jesus. Too many westerners call themselves "Christian"_ even the Luciferian Masonic leaders, like our British Prime Minister and Queen!
I like that! I put it like this, I follow the teachings of the Christ. Jesus the Christ!
Wow, this family continues to blow my mind with their humility and love for the Lord!
A follower and child of Jesus is simply that! No denomination required!
Jesus said follow me!
If we are His sheep, we will hear Him and follow Him!
I totally agree with you.
Well, I agree with you, but in reality, that's not different than saying "I'm a Baptist or a Presbyterian, etc" because choosing no denomination IS a choice, and all those who choose that certainly don't believe the same or follow Christ the same way. If you're honest, you just develop your own set of values, sense of right and wrong, the way you pray and "practice" your relationship with God. So essentially, you are a "denomination." 😉
Yes, we were also meeting in a restaurant b4 Covid. We are people who believe and follow Christ from a southern state in India called Kerala.
I love the way you guys practice your faith in Jesus with all the simplicities. God bless you abundantly!!!
Sir, you nailed exactly what God’s definition of true Christianity is!
What about Torah Observant Christians ? Shalom ✡️ Happy Hanukkah Everyone.
There is a lovely discussion going on the comments. Everyone that watches your videos are so positive and it is so refreshing. I look foreard to your videos as they are encouraging. You help to remind us of what is truly important.
Hello Deborah. I am pleasantly surprise at how civil everyone is :) We want to be simple, transparent and unwavering in our pursuit of Jesus and His Kingdom Way. Thanks for chiming in!
Folks, please please please don't turn this into a reality tv show on mainstream cable programming. This is a good platform to follow you guys. Thank you for being authentic and just a breath of fresh air. You are a loving family that is committed to God.
I’m a born again believer and I’m backsliden, lost and confused. Would you pray for me? Life has gotten so difficult and hopeless without Jesus in my life. I tried things my way and it does NOT work! I want to go back to attending church weekly and find a home group too. Please pray that God will lead me to both and move all obstacles. Thank you 😊
Heidi Miele praying for you. God bless you
Hey sister, are you doing better now? My husband and I will pray for you.
I'll pray for you, sister. Don't worry, you will be OK.
Hey Heidi, how have you been? How is your spiritual life going?
Heidi Miele Lord, please help Heidi to come back to you and fully surrender herself to you.
Thank you! You don’t need to say much. Your actions, the way you live, the way you love Lindsay and your children show you are a follower of Christ! God bless you my brother in Christ Jesus. ❤️🌺
I love the simplicity of your message. You’re all a beautiful family and I see Christ living through you all. I enjoy your videos and your kids are precious. God bless you all.
How do you guys still exist in a world like this.
Thank you for sharing your beautiful family. Give us lady so much hope.
It is incredibly peaceful to watch you guys.
Tai Hale it IS a wonderful, beautiful thing to see!! WOW just wow!!! 🤗
Keep your mind on Jesus all day in all you do everyday.
Yes
That's called faithfulness and honoring to the Lord, and blessings and protection from the Lord on exchange! By His promises, Amen.
Awesome!!
I agree with you on denominations. One has damaged my family badly. I pray for us every day.
Such a beautiful blessed family. You can see the hand of God is with you. Your peace just radiates him.
I love how comfortable you are in being different as followers of Christ. It’s refreshing and something I want to have. I’m a Christian, but I think too much about what others think of me and it doesn’t make me happy or feel fulfilled. I realize that true joy and contentment comes from knowing Christ and being in Him, which is my desire. I really want to seek God and have His heart. :)
If you've asked him to save you, you are in Him. Always
Once you have opened your heart to Jesus let him come in and realize his dreams in your life.
May God bless you!
Cheers from Brazil.
I struggle with this too! Let’s keep praying
You know, I almost didn’t come to this page when I saw it...but I’m really really glad I did.
Me too...
I would have loved to live in a place like that and have a family like yours, Bless you guys from Australia!!!
Yes that is true
I too
You have a Beautiful family. We’re Messianic ( I’m ancestrally Jewish - but follow Y’shua of Nazareth). Looking forward to watching your videos… always enjoy getting to know eternal mischpocha (family). May Abba bless and keep you all close. Joshua-
Am from India. Great to know you guys. You do a wonderful ministry with music and being so faithful to Jesus. Blessed family. Let you be God's blessing to many around the world.
Bless you brother in India. Jesus bless this man abundantly.
I'm from India too!
From India🥰
👍 yes
Thank you for your prayers. Now we have moved from India to Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Praise be to God.
One day we will come and meet the Sounds like Reign family.
I love what you bring to the table … I am a 7th day adventist christian and I enjoyed your post as well as the family singing … I was a single mother rearing kiddos when young and your family reminds me of playing the guitar and singing with my children 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Just came across this family ministry …. I’m also 7th day Adventist … also don’t like the labels or religion… but the face that we are followers of Jesus living according to the bible
I'm also an SDA, and I appreciate this. By the way, I hv Jewish background like this gentleman.
I too have embraced the Seventh Day Adventist religion. I love being an SDA because truth, wholistic truth is presented. The same truths presented in this video by Brackin.
Yes it's relationship that our Lord desires.
Thank yuu so much for your presentations.
So happy discovered them.
Eu também sou Adventista do Sétimo Dia. Amo ver esta família. Eles são um exemplo de vida.
I too am SDA but totally agree that it is all about a relationship with HIM.
I definitely thought you were Messianic! I am, and we seem to be quite like minded. Glad to have a sister in Yeshua that is so virtues! God bless!
That’s what I thought they were as well! I am new but slowly learning
If all Jews and Christians were like the Messanics, the world would be a amazing place. Lets pray that slowly happens. ( Or I should say acclerate)
Brackin, that was really a great message! I loved where you said our Lord isn't worried about religion (i.e. Denominations), but relationships. That is really the core!
Yes it is. Of course, in order to have a deep, long-lasting relationship with someone (our Father God included) we want to know more and more about Him each day. And as we have learned more about Jesus, we are compelled by everything He taught - ranging from love, forgiveness, marriage, money, and everything else in between. His way - the way of the Cross - is worthy of our all! Blessings :)

I love the testimony you are sharing. You are sharing the most precious of truths. May our Lord continue to bless your family, and may His family continue to grow through what you are sharing.
Ya’ll have really well behaved kids!! That’s great! God bless!
It's all about Jesus. Focus on him and you'll be fine.
@Dean Brennan It's never too late. Jesus still loves you.
If you’re going to focus on Yahshua (Jesus), then you would walk as He walked which was following Torah and the set apart days perfectly. We cannot be perfect as He was but we can do our best to please Our Heavenly Father by obeying Him which also shows our love for Him. The Sabbath is the 7th day and it was sanctified from creation. He is the same yesterday, today and forever. Be blessed.
@Konstantin Ridaya
Yep, you sorrow filled alright.
Matthew 7:23
" “And then I shall declare to them, ‘I never knew you, depart from Me, you who work lawlessness!ʼ1 Footnote: 1 See v. 15."
1 John 2:3
" And by this we know that we know Him, if we guard His commands.1 Footnote: 1See 3:6."
1 John 2:4
" The one who says, “I know Him,” and does not guard His commands, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. "
@Little Mary
You speak some truth. But why do you call anyone paster same as the Catholics call them father?
Call no man "Pastor"
Mat 23:9 - And call no man your father (G3962-patēr) upon the earth: for one is your Father, (G3962-patēr) which is in heaven.
Strong's G3962 - patēr
πατήρ
The word pastor comes from the Greek word pater'
It is found in the following verse.
Matthew 23:8-12
" “But you, do not be called ‘Rabbi,ʼ for One is your Teacher, the Messiah, and you are all brothers. "
" “And do not call anyone on earth your 👉father(G3962-patēr)👈, for One is your Father(G3962-patēr), He who is in the heavens. "
" “Neither be called leaders, for One is your Leader, the Messiah. "
“But the greatest among you shall be your servant.
" “And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. "
Now if we check out what the Strong's definition has to say about this word we can see possibly why Messiah instructed us to NOT proclaim this word upon anyone in regards to being our ______!
Strong's:
G3962 - patēr
G3962 - πατήρ
(metaphysical:
.... one who has infused his own spirit into others, who actuates and governs their minds)
Esentially it is christianities way of deceiving the people into doing as the Catholics do and have their assembly members call their leader their father/pater/pastor and unknowingly submit their spiritual authority to him!
I share this in love, for those whom it has been appointed.
Shalom,
@Little Mary
Shalom again, Time is short. Why do you yet promote the idolatrus image of the symbol of Baal on your picture?

Brilliant message the relationship not the religion and that my brother is the universal link to the bridge of Unity, the Church is in the people in there 💓 God Bless
I’m glad to have people like your and yours as part of my Christian family.
Relationship, not religion. That's the key! Thank you! ❤️
Yeah,God is our Father and we should obey him😍
You are so much right !
Jesus said I will build my church and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. John the Baptist. God gave John the name of Baptist. True Baptist are the true church, and the Bible back this up. All other denominations are man-made.
Jesus said if you love me keep my Commandments. Jesus said not to forsake the assembling of yourselves together in church. So you can’t have a good relationship with Jesus without obedience.
Forgiveness by the blood of Christ unto atonement !
The key word is, Redemption! Being in LOVE with Christ!
Not saying, I love Christ!
That's like saying; I love ice cream, I love my cat. I love, __________ fill in the blank!

I am from Amish descent, Even though plain looking, I can tell you’re not Amish, For starters, Amish men shave their mustaches, nor would they ever wear checkered clothing. But I do enjoy your video, and applaud the salvation message you bring... God Bless.
jonas miller I grew up around amish all my life (not amish) being in a town that’s the highest amish in US basically, and they don’t look amish.
I wondered if they were Amish too, I'm not from America so I don't really know exactly what the Amish look like. Just that their clothes look very plain, modest... like something you would expect people to have worn a couple of hundred years ago. No makeup etc.
Blessings
My wife's mother's family were German Jews who converted to Mennonite during WW2. We attended a Mennonite Church until recently. I am now where you are as far as fellowship. Making our way out of the institution. I soooo appreciated this video.
❤🙏🏼
Well, I have news for your wife that she is STILL a Jew and all the kids are Jews as they are born to a Jewish mother. But as an Ashkenazi Jew myself, I will say that whatever believe you have is fine so long as it does not involved maligning anybody in the process. I'm not religious myself however I will say that God really doesn't give a shit what anybody believes. All God wants (at least according to our Jewish tradition) is that you be a good and charitable person.
@Lagolop Well there is only one good and that is God.
@Lagolop And God is pure and holy and we all fall short of his glory and he wouldn’t agree with you that “he doesn’t give a s***” because he doesn’t have a filthy mouth and on the contrary he is very concerned with what people believe because he gave them the truth and many reject the truth to their own destruction. Jesus Christ is the way the truth and the life and no one goes to the Father except through him...because none are good but God so no one can approach him but through Christ only. That’s the truth God gave freely, and rejecting the truth only destroys the soul. We can’t approach God without Christ but God can surely approach us and when he does it’ll be judgment day and you don’t want to be approached by God naked without Christ.
@@valeriereneeharper 👍
I love you guys!!! I love your music and your belief in living a life as a follower of Jesus! Thank you for being such an inspiration to people!!
I love you guys already. This was such a blessing. This really opened my eyes more.
What a wonderful family! You are truly blessed!
I live up in Canada, I come from Southern Alberta, my ancestry on my Dad side is Mennonite. I don’t know much about my mom side, only fact I do know is they were Catholic. I no longer go to a Catholic Church, I do attend evangelical church. My sister and I watch online from home now because of Covid. When I saw the area in which you live which is your land and where your home sits and you’re out in the woods, I figured you were probably either in Idaho or the state of Washington but now I see you live further south. You have such a sweet family, so happy to have found you on UA-cam it’s Christian-based. Most people are into more heavier upbeat music I prefer your music that’s calm soothing and so genuine. I love the name, It sounds like Reign.
Hi walking 🚶♀️ in faith, I am faith in Christ also living in Toronto,Canada I love that you enjoy their calming songs and that is honestly GOD’swill. I see how meek, lowly and gentle, humble his wife looks such a calm spirit. She looks holy and beautiful in her natural state. I love to see women in their most natural state.
I just found your channel, what a pleasure you and your family are! I can't wait to watch many more! Thank you!
I just found your channel searching for "His Eye is On the Sparrow," then found the Little Pilgrim Songs, and I feel very uplifted and encouraged, as I've been looking for independently produced children's songs to introduce to my own kids as a respite from this confused and confusing world. Thank you!
Thank you so much Sir. I do appreciate you sharing snippets of your life, and reminding us to commence by being humble. I needed to hear this today. May our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ, continue to bless your family, your ministry, and the work of your hands.
God bless you and your family. Your simple message came at a most critical time for me. I was *drowning* in the overwhelming circumstance of life and you guided me through that moment and to go quietly to my knees before Jesus
My life and favorite verse is:
Galatians 2:20
"I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ lives in me. And the life which I now live in the flesh, I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me."
Mine as well😊

You can see your devotion and submission to our Lord in your faces and the childlike faith that you have. We are grateful that their are people like you who honestly want to be obedient to our Father in heaven and witness of our Lord Jesus Christ. What a precious family. May the Lord hold you in His love!
I walk my neighborhood praying over it. A week ago a friend sent me your site. I now pray and carry your music, it is such a blessing. May the Lord bless you even more.
I’ve been wanting to do this in my neighborhood. One day I will. I have a bit of anxiety when I think about actually walking around my neighborhood. It’s not bad or anything, it’s just that I can’t see very well. I mean I could get around. I don’t know. Just need to do it I guess. Thank you for the encouragement to do so. God bless!
@@bemak78 I understand your hesitation. I just started with a short distance an have increased as I felt led. I have enjoyed the walk in the sun, made discoveries and met new people. It has been a wonderful adventure. Plus I have done what the Lord has played on my heart. Just try a few houses on a nice morning and the fear will pass and you won't be alone.

So so true all about our relationship with Jesus Christ..so sad people get hung up on religion or what denomination they are..your family singing together lifts me up so much I can see Jesus so much in you all..I would love to live how you do..God bless you all
Humility? Love that. Prode has been the bigest hurdle and has stopped me from giving my all. Thanks for sharing
Amen brother. I grew up Catholic, but through Jesus, I’ve experienced wonderful fellowship with Baptist’s, Presbyterians, and many others and I too am grateful for the Jewish roots of our faith and our savior!
7Steveski same here! I experienced true freedom in Christ and ALL the explanations I had zillions of questions about. So different than the Catholic Church.
Be born again
somewhere I read that Jesus said something like "you'll not find the Creator in building's of sticks or stone but in the hearts of humankind " ! lovely accepting advice for us!
God has written His law on our hearts so that we are without excuse to know and follow Him. Jesus shows us the only Way to our Father God which is in complete abandonment to self and complete trust in His precious blood. Take care Nanna :)
This is the kind of life I wanted, but it didn't work out so joyfully as your little family. God Bless You.
What a wonderful surprise to find fellow graduates. I went to college with you guys.
Without a relationship with Jesus we have nothing. I enjoyed your video.
Amen
is that why the word 'relationship' is mentioned 0 times in the bible. Must be really important.
@@petergregoric1019 no but sons of God is mentioned, that's a relationship isn't it? we are sons of God by faith, which means you can't lose your salvation because God doesn't do abortions.
@@freegracecommunitychurch Amen, salvation is by faith alone and can't be lost. What I'm trying to say is that the idea of having a 'relationship' is a fraud because it's not found in scripture. Plus it's a very hazy term, and can be defined multiple ways by different people. We should use the words that the holy ghost teacheth.
@@petergregoric1019 yes you are right it never says we need to have a relationship with Jesus to be saved
I liked your opinion. I’m almost 63, I grew up Catholic but I haven’t identified as one since I started reading the Bible 5 years ago, I Love the Lord God Jesus more than the Catholic religion asked of me.
Repent for Catholicism is the synagogue of the devil where he does his work to blind many.
@Joseph-Denis Noël amen. Though catholicism is the synagogue of Satan where he uses the word of God to blind many, especially though the pope guy.
Ditto.
@@Angie-hi5bt Dear friend in Christ, as a Christian I wouldn't speak like that of my brothers in Christ whichever denomination they belong to. I'm a Catholic Italian man and I don't think we are the synagogue of devil! Christ's Church is the living Body of Jesus and God's people all over the world regardless of the various denominations or confessions. "That they all may be one" (John 17: 21), this is the not yet fulfilled prayer of our Lord Jesus to the Father. I'd feel ashamed to judge so bad my Christian brothers belonging to other Churches or confessions: it would be like judging God's will that we are one Church in His beloved Son! I use to hear the inspired songs of this wonderful Christian family and I give thanks to the Almighty God for them and for their bright testimony for Jesus! I have no interest in their confessional belonging: for me they are brothers in Christ who give a beautiful testimony for Him, and that is all!. Their songs (a lot of them are very popular in our communities too) gladden my spirit and let me worship the Majesty of God and the incredible greatness of His love manifested towards us in Jesus our Lord! In many of them I find splendid verses and words of the Bible I use to read and to pray every day. Glory to our Lord Jesus Christ who gives us His Holy Spirit and frees us from our prejudice, hostility and makes us one people in him:" For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility ..." (Ephesians 2: 14).
God bless you all!

Just found you. I love your simplicity and the light in your eyes. God bless you on your journey.
I appreciate your message. I hope that someone who wants to know more will seek out and pray to God for someone to help them read through the bible. There are people out there who are willing to sit and teach and not exasperate or argue. The church is a body of people who meet together, it doesn't matter where you are. Thank you for sharing such a beautiful hopeful message. Your children are adorable.
God bless you abundantly 🙏
Reading is so important. I was LDS (Mormon) for 10 years, and left.
Praise the Lord. I fear you’re an anomaly so I’m sure encouraged to hear you got out!!!
I'm so glad you talked about where you were before where you are right now. I'm sure people would be encouraged when they read about our journey.
This is spot-on my friend. I was deeply encouraged by your simple message. May Gods continue to bless you and your sweet family.
I love your music and your family. Wholesome and Godly .Thank you for sharing your family with us.
This man and his family exemplifies the life of Jesus here on earth. Their simplistic life, humility, Jesus centred, gracious and love for others is very refreshing to watch. To God be all the glory.
Simplicity of the heart!
I may sound a tad confrontational. But grace unto Salvation isn't about what we wear. How we look. Paul said, not circumcision of the outward appearance. But the circumcision of the inner heart!
Christ was humble, yes!
But Christ never told his 12 disciples they needed to change attire.
Matthew as a tax collector. Peter as a fisherman.
Each had different clothing!
To be clothed with the Righteousness of God!
To be clothes with the Armour of God!
I grew up in a denomination that dictated our attire. Yet. The lacked in fruit of the Spirit.
The Old Testament Cleary shows that David was a shepard, Shepards clothing.
But David was also a king.
Wearing Kingly clothing!
Finally, Modesty is a must pertaining to our adoption in Christ! It's not about wearing a business suit or wearing plain clothing! That's a work!
I agree with you 100%. I consider myself a Christian who worships in a Baptist Church but I do not consider myself to be a Baptist. I believe people get hung up on denominations. Thank you for this video❤
I love the "Dad Stretch" right at the end. Made me think of my own dad, God rest his soul. :-)
Hello Melissa how are you doing. Merry Christmas to you in advance 🎄🎁
I would love to live like you guys, everything seems so pure and authentic, God bless you abundantly
I loved when he said "Our father God is not interested in religion. He is interested in relationship...."... Such beautiful words.... It's true that God is there for all, for every single creation.... Only we perceive and pray/worship in different manners based on our individual culture and faith.... God, The Omnipotent never changes with culture or religion, what changes is our perception of God... I think it's as simple as that... May God bless everyone...
Your humility is beautiful. Thank you for putting all these good, even if somewhat older, worship songs out there. It seems that most modern "worship" songs are centered around the believer's experience and "blessings" to be had while these songs refocus is on God's glory and power and sovereignty. Also, they are easy to sing along to aand join in the worship. I cannot tell you how refreshing and uplifting that is. Much love from South Africa. 💖
I want to thank you both. I first discovered your music from the video " Give me Jesus " and now sing that song while walking my dogs in Ashland Ohio. I have alot of Amish neighbors and don't think you have an Amish family. What is obvious is your families Love for the LORD. GOD picked the youngest Shepard boy to be King of his people because of his Heart. Heaven will be filled with people from all over the world that have ❤️ Hearts full of Love for the LORD !!! All Praise my KING JESUS . Peace and Love to your whole family my brother. Thanks William ☀️
You speak to my heart - I have goose bumps listening to your explanation of your beliefs and faith! God bless you and yours!
You ARE an encouragement to us, thank you and God bless you all.
I just found your Chanel today and I love you all already! God bless you and bless your Chanel. I'm looking forward to knowing you more on you tube! Blessings from your sister in Christ!🙏
You must be born again. It is NOT by good works, but by Faith in what He did on the cross for us.
And a big Amen from me to that. We're saved by Grace alone through faith alone in the atoning Blood of Jesus!
It is BOTH, Faith and good works.
@@1hverniz
Good works should follow salvation and what believers already saved by faith alone in Christ alone are appointed unto having the Holy Spirit taking up residence. Consequence of a salvation already received and in no way a cause or contributing factor. The justification and guarantee of eternal life takes place before any subsequent good works are carried out. They are a matter of reasonable service, part of progressive practical sanctification (not positional) and which rewards at the Bema seat will be based upon. It's not both faith and works that save the sinner but faith in what Jesus has perfectly done on their behalf through His death, burial and resurrection. We receive the Lord Jesus first, then walk in Him thereafter.
Blood bought Big Phil R, I don’t want to argue.. just thought about the verse that says faith without good works is dead.... it goes together.
@@1hverniz
Still a consequence rather than a cause or fruit rather than the root. Faith without works accompanying is dead in terms of any witnessing impact and just won't make any favorable impression or commend Christ to others, especially those in need and likely to turn them off. That's what the verse is really saying. I'm not saying by any stretch that good works aren't important and should naturally flow without a second thought by those whose hearts have been touched by Grace and made new in Christ. It's just that they don't come into the equation as far as receipt of salvation is concerned. Not seeking an argument either but to give clarity and right division so the Gospel is not confused and obfuscated.
Much blessing to you.
This was the second video that I have watched. The first being your music video of "It Is Well" which I happened on when surfing Christian Music on UA-cam. It is one of my favorite hymns and I had never heard it in a female voice. So when I seen the image on the video showing a lady, I wanted to listen and I am very grateful I did. Your voices together are very Spirit lifting. When the music video ended, it carried on into this video and I found myself listening to the description of your faith and beliefs and thinking to myself, that is it! You put into words a clear understanding of what I too believe faith is and is not. Thank you for sharing your experiences online for others to hear and learn from. I am hoping to figure out how to view your videos from the beginning, so my wife and I can follow them together as I know, it will help her in her understanding that there is a difference in living a faith in Christ's teachings and following traditions of a religion. Be well and be blessed
I love how ur wife cover her head at all times ,no makeup, God bless y'all.....
Bella why? Women are not required to cover their hair and cover their beauty.
@@myothergem Most women who believe in wearing head coverings do so to show submission to their husbands & to Yahweh. Being submissive to your husband is commanded in scripture. See Ephesians 5:22-33. The Bible also speaks of women covering their heads. See 1 Corinthians chapter 11.
@@sherryl817 That covering is their hair.
Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. 1Corinthians 11:14-15.
A covering for a woman is actually her hair please check out (the message.com)
I just found you - I don't even know how! I'm so happy I did! God bless you!
You explained the Christian faith,and our relationship with Jesus so very. well.You have a lovely Family
Hi Alice, how are you doing?
Thank you for sharing your light brother. God Bless you, your beautiful family, and your ministry. Selah!
I just found your channel, and I love how you state your faith. I'd never have guessed Amish or Jewish. Torah observant Christian would be my guess. I'm just glad you are faithful. Blessings!
Brother this really spoke to me. Totally summed up what my faith in Jesus is. It's a personal relationship.
Lovely video, thank you. I so appreciate that the Lord meets us WHERE WE ARE and takes us to where he wants us to be as we seek him with a humble heart. We all grow and blossom under His grace. Blessings on you and yours With Love From Bandana Gramma!
The Lord does meet us where we are. Of course, He doesn't leave us there though. Like with all of his disciples in the New Testament, He calls us to come and follow Him, to learn from Him. This is our desire. Blessings to you Bandana Gramma!
I love how you explained your beliefs. Love your family & music.
What a holy, lovely family you make. From Roisin in Ireland. God bless you all. X
God bless you and your family and all the work you do for the Lord !
I just found this video and I just had to tell you that you set an awesome example to what the Lord wants His people to be. ❤
The boys just bring so much joy watching them looking at their dad when he talks. They are all so cute. I showed the blogs to my 7yo grandson where the boys were tidying up the house.❤
I am new to your YT channel. I am so happy I found it. My dad passes on last week and I was missing him. My sister found a Bible verse on paper in his bible that he wrote out "Thy Word" PS 119:105 And the verse was written out...It seemed to me the words of a song because it has "Refrain:" in it a few times. So, Long story short I googled it and your BEAUTIFUL Family video came up "He Is Exalted". I watched and listened to your amazing family sing and felt at peace after this difficult week. I can understand and appreciate your view on how you and your family Worship God. My husband and I were raised Catholic. We raised our son Catholic....But the last few years he has turned his back on the Catholic "Religion". He is now 19 years old and we have spoke about it and I can see his point of view. My guidance to him was pretty much the way you explained following Jesus and his ways. There are so many religions out there that follow the ways of our Lord, take and live the best of the ways from all of them. Treat people right, Love All the way Jesus loves each and every one of us, follow his ways and keep praying and learning about him.
That is what my advice was to him. I look forward to watching your videos in the future. If we all lived our lives like your 's this world would be a better place. We can't control and change the world but we can live out lives the best way we can like Jesus and be an example to the world.
I don't know how I ended up here but you have a new follower now
it's nice to watch a video that is honest and an encouragement. .Thank you.
Thanks for watching Debbie :)
This video is so full of wonderful information for having a heart for the Lord. If more people followed channels like this, I think their hearts would be encouraged, and they would understand the joy that comes from following the Lord.
Agree--- this is not by accident I found it
@@dehliafredericks3573 Have a blessed day 🙏🏻✝️💜
Y'all ARE a holy example of faith and living life in a close relationship with God through Christ. Without watching all of your vlogs, but by randomly catching an episode I see the whole family growing closer to God! And I cannot thank you enough for giving me a way to worship & praise our Lord! I begin my alone time with God in song & most often use your songs. So once again, I thank you! May
