"Glorifying God is not a separate task from other things you do in your life. Rather, it is meant to be the motivation for why you do everything you do in your life." Amen
I have been reading "The Meaning of Marriage" by Timothy Keller and it has really opened by eyes and helped me with understanding what marriage is and what it is for. We are to serve, lift and edify our spouses to be Holy as LordJesus is so that when we make it to heaven, Christ tells us "Well done, good and faithful servants'.
Wow, I love your definition of glory: "The goodness and character of God made visible or knowable to others". God bless you Mark; your content is always so helpful and scripturally sound!
Learn to glorify God through rationship 1. When God is teaching you to glorify him. Glory- the goodness of God visible to others Ex 33:18-19 Names used to describe his character Gen 1:23 Isaiah 43:7 Jesus exemplifies Gods glory John 1:14-18 2. God is teaching you he desires glory in all areas of our life. All the time we are to glorify God 1 Cor 10:31 He is glorified when God is 1st in the relationship, must be used to bear his image and bring him glory 3. God is teaching you to value the right things in the relationship. Give & take. 1John 2:15-17 Give and take to one another John 17:22-24 Seek a partner you can be one with Christ in. 4. God is teaching you the meaning of True love. Joyfully sacrificing yourself for another. JOHN 15:13 when God is preparing you to make meaningful sacrifices for another
Amen I love this video!! The lord has been working on my girlfriend recently. She started doing the first steps in her walk to get closer to God. She got rid of all her worldly music and she's starting to read her Bible a lot more. She wants to pray more with me. I pray that he uses me to guide her deeper into her walk also!!
Excellent video Mark. So many people need to understand what it truly mean to glorify God. "It's a lifestyle and should be manifest ( made plain, made visible) in ALL that you do. Blessings to you. 🌷
Hey guys. haven’t been commenting on this channel in a while. This is a timely video since I haven’t been dating in a while or going on date. Yeah I’ve been really content in my singleness and been really happy and enjoying the single life and I’ve been trying to get my finances in order I’m getting an extra job. And then I am currently talking to someone and we’re both looking for the same thing with his marriage and we’re both Christians. But I think I’ve been really focusing on other things and dating hasn’t been on the top of my priority list ever since I put that aside I feel like I have more clarity with God. And everything is lining up. But I do strongly believe that God will have me get married one day
I’m learning myself that as I stop trying to find a wife or even stop trying to force myself to date or else I’ll “miss it” and rather just focus on God and my calling, this is when things start falling into place
Thank God for this. We need to put God first and stop focusing on selfish pleasures. James 4:1-4 And More important; as you put God first and glorify Him, when He starts bringing the good things and relationships in your life, make sure you don't FORGET GOD AND LET HIM GO .You need to keep Him in your relationships, businesses for HIS blessings, protection etc. Keep pursuing Him
Love that photo of you in the video Mark lol! I love how you defined what it means to truly give God glory in every area of our lives. Thank you so much for your videos! God Bless!
Wow! Glorifying God in wide concept been on my mind lately and your videos are too accurately right all the time on my life Mark. Thank you and God bless!🙂✨
The guidance for relationships here is also very important. So many alleged believers think they can buy God's blessings by giving offerings but they will not sacrifice their idols. "I donate my time and money to church!" but they want to live with their partner unmarried. God, deliver us from deception for the sake of Your Kingdom.
Good video, Mark. Reminder there that we should be mindful of what we name our children. Names originally were to denote character and destiny and Chinese, Arabic, Hebrew and even Greek cultures often still somewhat pay attention to this.
My relationship with God through his son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit is by far the most important thing to me. Its a relationship. I don't believe in organized religion which clearly divides people
How odd... To have sinned. Yet, God keeps me going. I regret and repent. God then shows that my own sins are heavy on my heart. Then he continues to show that I still desire to give him glory. In all aread. Granted I do some terrible things. Thoughts, deeds and even words. Here once again God shows me that I do have strength in this way as well. Truth and glorifying him over what my emotions have to say. However, he shows my weaknesses. Weakness to show or give or even be mustering towards love. Or even obtaining love. People come into my circle. They are welcomed however, soon they try to rock my boat. Suddenly God shows me my weakness to letting it go and walk away. Then show love by forgiving and letting the be. They choose that not me. Yet, I lash with my forked tongue. I choose to be angryily. Oh God, why am I so strong in truth and glorifying you but not once it comes to other areas of my life? Then once again, he reminds me, that is the case for everyone here. That we all fall short in one way or another. That I am not by myself. Wishing to glorify him in a glorifying relationship. Thank God though, for it is through him such things will happen in his name that we change for him.
@@josiah3820 yeah. It is not fun being in the struggle to obey God. However we are in the flesh and the flesh is in conflict with the Holy Spirit. In the end we need to obey God to maybe get what we want but it should not be what we want. It should be what God wants and what he will graceishly give us even though we do not deserve it. I pray in Jesus's name, that the walk with Jesus for everyone is easy however, in faith I know that is not possible. However, still may God be with everyone. In his only begotten sons name. Amen.
This doesn’t have much to do with this video but I’m looking for help. I’ve been in a God given relationship with an amazing man for 10 months now. We are still in college which is where we met. We are going through long distance during breaks and the summer. We both really want our families involved and to get counsel from trusted people at church but because of the long distance it is very hard to do all of this. We both really love each other and want to get married. We both have a lot of peace about being together and our families are happy too. The long distance makes things very hard. Do you have any advice? Should we get involved with a church that we will have to leave during the summer and go back to long distance?
Sometimes the best is the enemy of the good . . . meaning sometimes when we want the perfect situation we miss out on the available good situation. It sounds like there isn't a perfect answer at the moment so I would encourage you to do what you think is best (after praying about of course). Being a part of some church sometimes sounds better than no church. Just my thoughts :) God bless!
Well this is very interesting... Me and my girlfriend had a falling out a couple days ago and I went of the deep end for a few days because I was heart broken and upset and lost my trust in God and Jesus. I believe that she cheated on me and she has been lying to me for a while and has broke a promise me and her made. So I left her alone, she claims that she loves and misses me yet she won't admit she lied to me and has made zero moves to chase me down. I busted her too but she makes up excuses and I don't like lairs. I've been bullied and lied to ever since I was a little boy so I can spot a liar. I can even hear it in her voice she is lying. So since then, I've been praying for God to reveal who my future wife is gonna be until I went off the deep end for a few days like I said. But I missed the Christian life because nothing was fixing my broken heart so I came back, repented and here I am today, glad to be back. I am still upset and heart broken and this shows up in my recommendations. God? Is this You speaking to me?

God bless as you keep following the Lord's leading Ashley! So glad to hear you are doing well!
Exactly. I had to drop my “FOMO” (fear of missing out) a long time ago also. Lol. I adopted JOMO in its place (Joy of “missing out”).
Thank God for this. We need to put God first and stop focusing on selfish pleasures. James 4:1-4

I’m in one and I didn’t even know until a year of being with my boyfriend that we are in glorifying relationship
I don’t want to say “glory”
I want to be “glory” for Him…
I’m in love with Him 🌸🌸🌸
