Does God Really Laugh? [Ralph Martin]
Вставка
- Опубліковано 13 тра 2024
- There are some startling things attributed to God in Psalm 2, a psalm that was an encouragement to the early Church when it encountered severe persecution. This week, Ralph takes a look at these realities as well as how Psalm 2 can be an encouragement to us today too!

I can’t believe that people would uncharitably comment on your appearance. You always look well dressed and groomed to me. And more importantly your love for God and his teachings, your mission and the fact you share your gifted wisdom
with us is commendable Ralph. Thank you for everything you do 🙏🏻✝️
Amen! Well said!
Ralph pay no mind to these incredibly rude individuals who feel the need to critique your appearance. I think you have always looked just fine and never noticed any of those things. Your heart is beautiful and and my faith is strengthened and encouraged by your talks. Thank you for your ministry to the Body of Christ. God bless you!
Honestly, can't believe that there would be such ill-mannered comments made about your looks and your clothing. On their behalf, Ralph, I ask your pardon. As the saying goes, "Some people's children!"
I agree. One time someone told me that when you feel an interior desire to lash out at someone & maybe even do-if you are a Christian, then you should be attentive that the person you want to lash out at--SOMEHOW is need of your prayers.
Absolutely. They should be listening to what he is saying, not how he looks like
You, Ralph, are a handsome, gifted man who reflects all the love God could give anyone. Bless you always, and stay safe on your journey.
Thank you for your videos, Dr. Martin. The majority of us are here for your invaluable messages and we thank you for them. Praying for safe travels for you and Dr. Hahn. May God continue to bless you, Peter, and this ministry. May God’s peace and grace cover you always.
🙏🙏🙏
Ralph. You are the best. I have learned so much from you - you have blessed me and strengthened to me so much in my walk with Jesus! I love you and I keep you, and all at Renewal Ministries in my prayers. God bless you my friend!🙏
Thank you Ralph.
Safe travel, Mr. Martin. Thank you for your video. You look exactly as you should. God bless.
I think your hair and shirts are cool! 🎉❤
Exactly! Thank you Ralph! ❤
Personally, I think you always look great, you are filled with the Holy Spirit and that's all we need. God looks at our hearts and not our appearance. God bless you Ralph, love and prayers from Ireland ❤🙏
It's beautiful to see Christ's Joy flow through you as you remain in Christ and HE in you! True Love!
Dr. Martin, you are beautiful!! The flesh is of no avail it is the Spirit that gives life! You are a SAINT! Who cares what these poor souls say! You are my spiritual Father and I have learned so much from you! I thank God for you...really!!
May Jesus Christ be Praised, Now and Forever!
Lets pray three Hail Mary's for those negative people and ask God to forgive them.
I never observe Ralph's appearance, his image... am just listening and learning.
Ralph your refreshing teaching is pure gold.
Blessings from Slovenia 💓
Ralph 🌿
You can wear the same shirt every week and not comb your hair either. It doesn’t bother me. I am here to listen to the truth you share with us.
God bless you for your endurance, because you must surely feel unwell at times when the skin cancer plays up, but with you “the show must go on”!
I am a 77-year old lady listening to you from Singapore.😊
God continue to give you the strength you need, Ralph.
Thank God, Ralph, your true beauty lies within you - where JESUS IN YOU resides.
I only see CHRIST IN YOU.
Well, I did notice that you look great, Ralph. I'm 70 and hoping to be doing as well as you when I'm 80, God willing. Thanks for your faith and your teaching. It's helped me many times over the last 27 years since I came into the Holy Catholic Church. And now you're off to Brazil! You're an inspiration. :)
I love this. For those who love and choose God, even though they continue to fail, always running back to God: "And the Father will dance, as on a day of joy. He will exalt over you and renew by His love. ....God is in your midst."
Oh my! 🙃 Well, that's different. Fear not. This is not Hollywood, people! lol Safe travels. Thanks for your faithfulness to God's will. So enjoy these videos.
As someone else said: “I wish my heart were half as beautiful as yours!” Your videos are sooo edifying, thank you…..❤
I've never really noticed your looks, apart from thinking that you're a very pleasant looking man. I'm much more interested in what you have to say. You're one of the few Catholic bloggers in whom I have absolute faith.
Always love hearing you Ralph and thank you for what you do. You and Peter have strengthened my prayer life since I’ve retired. Blessing to both of you and your ministry. Sale travels and God Bless you!
Ralph what a joy & honor to hear you and benefit from your intelligence and faithfulness to God and the church and your love for God!!!!
I think I heard you first at the Atlantic City conference around 1976 or so!!!
May you be abundantly blessed in your work and travels !!
Dear brother Ralph, I too have several ‘cow licks.’ I’ve had skin cancer, multiple times. I learned a long time ago that it’s what we are, on the inside, that matters. You are a blessing to so many! Thank you for who you are, and all you do. Blessings!!
God bless you! Beautiful encouraging message .. I pray for boldness and courage for all our leaders and for myself to proclaim & live God’s word especially during these times…
Praying also for your safe trip to Brazil, may God’s will be done & may His name be glorified in Jesus name
Amen 🙏
God has made you a beautiful human. Very thankful for you just as you are! And not that this really matters, but this is a beautiful shirt! 😊
You are beautiful, inside and out!
Dr. Martin thank you for the wonderful work you and renewal ministries do, flannel shirts are my favorite. God bless you abundantly as well as the team, safe travels.
God bless you and keep you safe on your trip.🙏🏻
“Dynamic orthodoxy!” What an ingenious term for the greatest approach!
Don't change a thing! We love the way you look. And we love your videos. Thank you for inspiring us always. God bless you!!
You are wonderful to watch and listen to. Pay no attention to those who detract on superficial things. We love you!
Ralph we love you just as you are, keep doing all these videos they are so helpful to all of us
God bless you in your ministry!
I watch every video you put out. I have never once thought of any of those negative comments! I rely on your prudent wisdom and thoughts on the faith in this time of confusion.
I like your shirts ,your real people Your real just like us. I really never paid attention to the recast. Thank you 🙏
God bless you Ralph. Your great 🥰
Awww sad how mean people can be appreciate you and your mission and devotion your amazing God bless you ❤
I'm with you Ralph. The beam of God love is around you. I'd listen to you even if you did the series in your pajamas😊
You look great man. God bless.
Thank you for your videos very inspiring. It is not important what we wear or how we look -- it is so important what you preach- the word of God!!
Thank you so much!!🙏🙏🙏
Dear Ralph, So sorry that you share such beautiful thoughts, reflections and teachings and somehow some haven't been able to tune in to what you so graciously and humbly offer as spiritual nourishment and only "see" a perceived imperfection. Hopefully, what they seem unable to currently hear, resounds throughout their entire being until it is heard clearly and with great acceptance. You are such a gift! God bless you.
Thanks Dr. Ralph. Wishing you & Dr. Scot a pleasant trip.
Don’t worry about your appearance Ralph. You look just fine to me.
Obviously not really about your hair or face but your message
I'm from the Gary Diocese...and we talk about you weekly...love you Ralph!
Not that your physical appearance matters as much as your wise insights, but I believe you look marvelous, Ralph. Keep up your good work.
Oh my gosh. What you look like does not matter & you look just fine. Ignore those silly ppl and keep being wonderful you ❤
I, for one, am thankful that God does not look at the outward appearance but on the heart. I pray that my heart will look half as beautiful as yours. Thank you, Dr. Martin for being a faithful servant of Christ.
You confirmed something for me about appearance. To me it’s tied to vanity aka pride, opposite humility that we all need to follow The Lord. Thank you!
Wow I never noticed any of these things. I find your videos very uplifting and informative in difficult times 🌴🙏🕊️
Gee Whiz! Ralph, who cares about physical appearance when your messages are true!!! We love you the way you are!!!
The fruits and the gifts of the Holy Spirit looks really well on you may God continue to bless you with your heavenly garment.
Ralph you look just fine! God bless you.
God sees the heart!
Truly wonderful Ralph, thank you!
Love you the way you are Ralph!
God bless u Ralph
Divide and distract messages are not only TOTALLY irrelevant but downright un-Christian! Just let Ralph do what God is ordaining him to do; offering us messages of LOVE that unite and lead us on the journey to heaven. We apologize to you Ralph, hopefully on behalf of those who would distract you from fully giving us messages of love WITHOUT having to explain your EARTHLY looks. God bless you, Ralph. Your suffering is MUCH appreciated by the Mystical Body of Christ, thank you! JMJ
If it makes any difference- I never noticed any of it. What I noticed was your heart. Just keep being who you are.
Dr Ralph...people are nuts...you are lookin' GOOD! In fact you look MIGHTY FINE. I get the same comments when I make videos.Beside all that, John the Baptist didn't break any beauty records for his appearance but he delivered the message just fine.
Flannel is cool.
I’m sorry Dr. Martin - I never noticed your flannel shirt- your face or hair!! But I listen to your words very carefully. I hope you see The Heralds of the Gospel in Brazil! They have such a dedication to Our Blessed Mother.
God Bless You
I join with the person below who apologized for anybody who is truly ill mannered to comment on your appearance. This is very sad and I am assuming they believe they are Christian. Also, pls know Ralph your talk was magnificent.
You're good looking and above the critics? Im cursed with cow licks. I buy the same thing in different colors. Hahaha. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and love of Jesus.
Ralph, I am.only interested in what you say and boy is that worth listening to
I think that you always look great ! Dont listen to those silly comments.
Psalm 2
I think your rather good looking.
If you like those shirts then you wear them.
Ralph...people need a life! Sorry they are focused on your hair instead of your message. 🙂
