- This week, in part two our series, Ralph discusses how believing the right things - whether it be about the liturgy, sexuality, or even orthodoxy in general - is not enough for the salvation of our souls and let’s us know what IS enough.

Thank you Dr Ralph 🙏 May the Holy Spirit continue to strengthen and encourage you to speak the truth of the Gospels 🙏❤️ praise the name of Jesus forever 🙏 🙌 ❤️
Ralph, Thank you for this timely message. Twenty four minutes packed with wisdom
Ralph Martin gets it. And it amazes me that he's been doing this for so long and he hasn't slowed down in his faith's fire.
In a time when Catholics are not getting it and either want to water down the faith or they want to turn it into some weird Pharisaical orthodoxy - it's great to see people like Martin give the meaning of the Gospel message. We do the things we do not so that we get into Heaven; we live the lives Jesus taught because we love God that much and want to be wherever He is - which just happens to be in Heaven. May the good Lord bless and keep you Ralph Martin - let's finish the race and leave it all out on the field!

Thank, you Ralph, for the enlightenment and encouragement you always bring to us in your talks. God love you.
Thank You Mr. Martin,keep it up I hope to meet you in eternity when our time is done here.
Lord Jesus, remember me. Praise, glory and honor to you Jesus. Amen.
Like you, I'm also "really looking forward to the next phase of life." Thank you for relieving me of feeling strange about that, and for being such an encourager along the narrow path.
I really needed to hear this message today and will try and carry it in my heart tomorrow and tomorrow...
God bless you richly for your powerful ministry.
Thank you Dr Ralph. All you're saying is making sense. Right now in Australia, we are being persecuted for not confirming. Many are prepared to walk away from their lifelong careers in order to protect their Moral values and religious beliefs. But many have given in fearing that they're won't be able to provide for their families. People's Faith in God is either too warm or non-existent. For all of us who are resisting, we need courage, zeal, fortitude and need to pray more and be strong. Thank You for your prayers and encouragement Dr Ralph. 🙏
Thank you Mr. Martin! I needed to hear this today! May God continue to bless and keep you and yours, and Our Lady protect you!
Thank you Ralph great session. God bless you and family. We just keep strengthen our Faith, Hope and Charity to aim for salvation in Christ and with help from our Holy Mother of God. 🙏
Thank you for this. God bless.
I cannot
Not weep saying the rosary. Today I prayed the Seven Sorrows feast memorial for our Lady of Seven Sorrows.
Amen.. Send your Holy Spirit dear Jesus as you promised, I so desire this. 🙏😊🌹
Such an important message. Thank you for always keeping it mainly Christocentric and biblical in your teaching. The Gospels with their call to repentance and penance never lead us astray.
I agree with you about looking forward to the next stage of life! I also have an amazing life with good health, family, financial security etc. BUT the idea of being without all the worries and pains and heartaches is truly ❤ something to behold. I do believe in the next life and look forward to spending all eternity praising and glorifying Him!!!
Thank you Ralph. So good to have your guidance and teaching.
Thank you for this wisdom and this talk and I need to trust more in the Lord. May God Bless you today and always to continue to share with us your insight.
I listened with interest to your thoughtful comments, than was floored at the power prayer to close the video. May God continue to bless your ministry abundantly! Thanks.
One Day at a Time! So true. Thanks Dr. Martin! Please pray for me to be strong like you.
I just got your book, A Church in Crisis, on audible! I really appreciate your videos, Mr. Martin. As a new Catholic, I’m trying to find my footing in the Church and it can be difficult to find voices that aren’t extreme in either direction.
Dr Martin, thank you.
It is 2:30 a.m. here, and I just watched your video.
You addressed what was already on my mind, and heavy on my heart, and I didn't feel so alone then.
Thank you for your sacrifices for the sake of souls whom you have never met, but hopefully will in the next phase of life. God be with you.
3 Hail Marys for you 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻 that this channel may be for the Lord's work ✝️🙏🏻📿
Thank you for the teaching. I pray with it as I listen. I listened to your partner's video on demonic reversal the other day, and that, too, is a good teaching.
I have a vague memory from my childhood or early teen years, of hearing a sermon that suggested that "the devil" is "a symbol of the dark things in our hearts." I can't imagine my childhood parish priest preaching that, so I don't know where the memory comes from. It could have been on early Sunday morning television, which in those days was filled with religious broadcasting, including from the Catholic Faith. That kind of preaching sent me away from the Church, because if religion is all about becoming better people, why heck, I don't need a church for that! I regret that I didn't know better then, and am all the more grateful for your teaching now. You don't have to see the devil to know he's real, and he hides behind the corner whispering to make you think it's your own thought. But Scripture shines the light on him and his works. That's why your preaching is so important.
looking forward to reading your book!
correction - i meant to say "books"! they look super
Who can be lukewarm when we listen to you Ralph? Your almost tearing your hair out trying to get us to wake up! Thanks Ralph your videos are always so enlightening and inspiring! God bless you Ralph and keep up gods work! Waking us up!!
AMEN!
Thank you for your support
Wow! What a message! Thank you for sharing! Come Holy Spirit! Set me a flame 🔥 to Continue to follow my Lord! May I persevere not only in prayer but in works and action! So to get me and my Loved ones, and the World to Salvation! Thank you Renewal Ministries! Believe it! These messages are guided by the Holy Spirit! And yes, stay Awake! Be Ready! 💙🤍💙🤍❤️ Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us! Sacred heart of Jesus have Mercy on us!
Thank you for the words of encouragement.
Thank you for this. I really needed to hear every single word you said and the way you said it reached me. Please keep me in your prayers as you will be in mine now. I mean this so deeply. I feel like this was meant for me to hear. I listen to vids a lot to keep me with hope and less anxiety etc.. This vid had me in tears most of the time. i never find myself crying for myself the world and most especially for how much Jesus must be sad for those souls that He wont get to spend eternity with..This video brought out so much thought. Blessed Mother Mary, St John the baptist, St Michael, and all the Saints pray for us, please
Dr Martin. I have read Crisis and Fulfillment. They are great works! I started fully last October and now have immersed myself deeply, deeply in the Eucharist. Thank you for your reverence. I love the Lord beyond measure. Please continue in your ministry. Jesus and Mary will prevail.
Thank you for your encouragement, Dr. Martin!
Excellent Ralph
Inspiring
I need to take more action
God bless:Robert
Ralph, you have such a patient, thoughtful way of explaining things! Thank you for your faith filled message about perseverence, especially in these times of confusion and darkness.
Thank you and may our Lord Jesus Christ bless you , even if so many people turn away from our Lord Jesus but we hold our faith and continue on the way of the Cross for it is the narrow way that leads us to his salvation , and truly it is not that hard as many might think , it is the mystery of the Cross , the Mystery of Pain and suffering that with Jesus it becomes so sweet and rewarding , finally it is not we that win this race but it is our lord Jesus Christ who wins through us for he lives and dwells inside of us , this is the reason we finally win the battle against evil .
Thank you very much this is beautiful God Bless you .
This is perhaps the best homily I have ever heard....God bless you Ralph Martin...thank you so much !
Thank you for this video. So helpful to keep reiterating to love those who hate you and go against your own hatred. And we will be tested!
Looking forward to the video on the second death. Thsnk you for praying over and for us.
Thank u Ralph for the wise words once again. God bless u!
Hey Ralph, my bride of 46 years & myself, have the same discussion often. It tends to take away our fear of letting go. Despite what the world says and all the advances in medicine in my lifetime, the death rate is still 100% Pax Chrsiti Peter.
Amen God bless you🙏✝️👍👍👍
Thank you for another awesome video Ralph!
Thank God for you and your Ministry Ralph.
God bless you, Ralph!
Thanks ralph
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you, Dr. Martin for these prophetic words. For those of us who consider ourselves “in the choir”, the testing is TRUST. In the face of the darkness of this age, are we calm and at peace? The words of Psalm 4 come up often for me, “ …. trust in the Lord. Many say, ‘May we see better times! Lord, show us the light of your face!’ But you have given my heart more joy than they have when grain and wine abound. In peace I will lie down and fall asleep, for you alone, Lord, make me secure.” The Lord has been reminding me personally, “No hand-wringing!” That isn’t the posture of the baptized child of God. My response to the daily news needs to be calm trust. Thank you for your powerful videos. May the soil of our hearts, as in today’s Gospel, stay “watered”with trust and perseverance so that the word of God isn’t choked out by anxiety in our hearts.
Glad you are with us. You helped me today.
Thank you
Thank you for teachings...
Ron
Amen!
I like so many am alone in my faith.
Blessings and appreciation from Sydney Australia.....
I have to admit being a faithful Catholic today is rough. It is really rough when the attacks come from inside the church. When Priest tell people that serous sexual sin is not even sin and people who call it sin are bigots.
We have to endure so much false teaching from many in the church today. It seems some church clergy confuse the Gospel with Political Correctness.
God bless you Ralph.
Keep it up sir!
Thanks for all you're doing. Keep it up. Viva Cristo Rey!
Jesus said, "If you love Me keep My Commandments." Is that not all we need to know. Sadly we lack shepherds who are willing or able to instruct us how to keep faithful to these wise instructions commanded by our dear God.
Great message Ralph.
Thank you Dr Martin.
Working hard on it! Thank you so much!
Hi Ralph 👋 👋 God bless you. Thank you for your video. Peace and love from Rob from Wales uk 🇬🇧 😀 🙏
Amen God Bless you.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Come Holy Spirit, come! Holy boldness please
Hello Ralph. Thank you very much for raking the time out to make these videos for us all to watch. I'm also looking forward to the next phase with my wife too. Just can't quite imagine the peace and happiness that is in store for us should we do achieve the will of our Lord. God bless. Also, how can I send you a private message to forward my email to you?
God bless for the truth! :)
Reminds me of the song :🎶I Will Rise
✝️
❤️
@Ralph. If you number your videos, it will be easier to find which one comes next. God bless now and always.
As you spoke about the wonderful gifts awaiting us when with God's help we get to Heaven. It occurred to me, God can't wait to give us many Heavenly graces and blessings even now. I do believe the gift of Peace is one among many Heavenly gifts we already enjoy here and now. Praised be Jesus and Mary, and glory be to our dear beloved God and Father.
Oh, and I believe the second death is damnation in hell if we die in the state of mortal sin.
Ralph, when you die you’re going straight up!
World has gone completely bonkers Ralph..
From Saint John Eudes’ book: The Priest, His Dignity and His Obligations. “The most evident mark of God’s anger and the most terrible castigation he can inflict upon the world are manifested when He permits His people to fall into the hands of clergy who are priests more in name than in deed. Priests who practice the cruelty of ravening wolves rather than charity and affection of devoted shepherds.”
“When God permits such things, it is very positive proof the He is thoroughly angry with His people and is visiting this most dreadful anger upon them.”
Maranatha 🙏🕊🌹🕯
Prophetic consensus certainly seems to be focusing on a time of imminent and intense purification and penance. With Ralph len
ding his credible voice to those urging vigilance only makes the warning more valid and poignant. Definitely has seized my attention.
Orthodoxy AND orthopraxy. "Be not hearers of the word (only) but doers."
Where can I please find the series?
Hello Pavan! Ralph did three of his weekly messages in a row as a series of sorts. #1 - "Will Our Lampstand be Removed": ua-cam.com/video/9D6SM4FGHG8/v-deo.html, #2 - this video, "Orthodoxy Isn't Enough, What Is?": ua-cam.com/video/sfFccbp6FmY/v-deo.html, and #3 - "How to be Saved From the Second Death": ua-cam.com/video/0XxdnTGVueU/v-deo.html. God bless.
@5:39 you state there is a orthodox community that is doing things "right"? Were you referring to the Catholic Church?
Hi leftystrat62! Great question! Ralph goes on a several minutes-long aside making it tough to identify. He is referring to the Church in Ephesus in the scriptures: Revelation Ch. 2. If you listen at about 3:20, you can hear the original reference. He returns to it, picking up that thread at about the 8:00 minute mark. Ralph is pointing out that in the book of Revelation, St. John is reporting that God knows the many good works of the Church at Ephesus, but "he has this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first." It is an early, early example of people doing orthodox things, but yet lacking something. So Ralph is using this biblical early church to remind us that we need more than orthodox practice, we need zeal and the fire of God's love. I hope that helps!
A voice crying in the desert.
Is he talking about the Orthodox Church? It’s not clear

Jesus is enough. Jesus as in for example honoring your parents while loving your neighbors by encouraging them to do the same too.
AMEN!
