9:20 There is some scriptural reference to ‘why do the good ones have to die?’ Romans 9:22-24 (NKJV): “What if God, wanting to show His wrath and to make His power known, ENDURED WITH MUCH LONGSUFFERING the vessels of wrath prepared for destruction, and that He might MAKE KNOWN THE RICHES OF HIS GLORY on the vessels of mercy, which He had prepared beforehand for glory, even us whom He called, not of the Jews only, but also of the Gentiles?” (Emphasis added)
I would love to connect with you Jamal and get guidance on what i can do when I'm out at my gigs to bring ppl in to get saved. Cause i don't think or feel that me being just a musician and hoping that God's spirit would be felt through my playing "my ministry" when at the bars and places. I always pray that it does "maybe it is and i don't see it" but I'm not much of a talker but always thought and been thinking what can i do
Parris was one of the real ones. I learned so much for him, and I’m not talking musically. He was such a gift to the gospel community and music industry.
R.I.H. It's so hard to see young people leave out of here sooner than we expect. But alas, tomorrow is promised to no one and only in Christ is our hope.
Jamal...the mere fact that you waited a while to give this tribute/Word, illustrates the power of waiting on the Lord for His perfect timing. This is such a Rhema Word to all God’s children that you can’t catch fish unless you’re prepared to make contact with the water...and we can’t win souls unless we’re prepared to go out into all the world. Awesome tribute/message 🙏🏾🔥🔥💛 love from the UK 🇬🇧
Parris was great any more ways than one...I treasure the times of watching in rehearse as a kid. His fervor for Christ and music was unprecedented. Much love you all 🤍🕊👑
I've heard Parris on numerous songs but didn't know who he was until recently. He was a very gifted musician and his testimony about the Floetry Tour is awesome! The Holy Spirit sent Parris to minister the band!
Thank you so very much for your comment!! Your genuine feelings for Parris really came through! I could tell the Holy Spirit had spoken to you also!! God always send people into our lives for longtime blessings!! Be blessed continue to remember that conversation with Parrish it was God sent for your journey with God!! God is a Wonder and Keeper!!
I discovered his videos on the day he passed away, at the time I felt foolish having commented on his videos, but if he can see us, I wanna make sure he knows he was being loved by his close ones and his fans
Don't feel foolish. He was like a brother to me and it would make him happy to see all the love being shown for him and his family but mostly, he would be so elated that God is getting so much glory. All Parris wanted was to support and take care of his wife and boys, and to live for Christ and draw other to HIM. His song "Crown" was like a theme... We hurt so immensely deeply, but Parris got his crown. 🗼👑💙🕊️
So good, man. Those videos you did with Parris and soundcheck changed my life as a musician. Fortunately, I was able to hang with Parris a few times and tell him how much of an impact he had on me. Super grateful for you and your tribute to him.
Thanks for sharing! I haven't met Parris but I've met him through your experience with him. I did however know AG Praise. A great humble brother indeed.
Thanks for sharing this about my cousin. He did what he was born to do-share the love of Christ with other musicians & young people. Each one, reach one! The authenticity of his relationship with Christ was a magnet! You are on point Parris loved the Lord & so effortlessly shared that love with others in & out of the music industry.
Jamal I have been following you for a long time and I must say I am blessed by your consistency in you walk with Christ. It shows that you are sincere in your walk and thats worth more than any amount of chords or sheds. Be encourage! There are some of us that are looking for those good examples and are encourage by it!
That's so touching! May God bless us all that we serve Him with all our hearts and defeat the power of darkness and be real preaching the power of light, Jesus Christ.
We heard about him after he did the “Jesus at the Center” record. He was phenomenal behind the keys. What a crazy season of loss for so many... prayers for his family! Great video too! 🙏🏽
This was straight from the heart dear brother indeed Man just wish I had met him in person we spoke via email & social media was about to join SCHOOL OF DAVID his lifelong dream of mentoring & teaching Musicians yet the lord had another plan A GREAT MAN OF GOD WE LOST
This is beautiful Jamal! It's very relevant to me esp as a pilot that quit! We think we're ready for the world, but it's dark. We better love God, this close to his return. More valuable than everything.
Man I met him in high school and saw him all the time over the years and even played with him a couple times recently, this was such a huge loss and I can totally see him saying all of what you said this one was so unreal and heart breaking such a pure heart individual
You said a word at 6:56 in fact the entire video was a beautiful tribute to Parris. Thank you for sharing. I pray often for God to keep me enthusiastic over studying and living his word. Bless you brother.
I had never heard of Parris, but as I have listened I have a greater appreciation for him. Not only his gift but his love for the Lord. I also like what you shared about Gospel , ad secular. You know many today feel when a musician plays secular he or she Is backsliding or sinning. But Parris showed that God can use you anywhere. He was rooted in grounded in God, and God was his strength. It makes me think about our kids in school today. If a few school kids that went to a all christian school went to a secular school. I believe they would make a difference. God Bless
This is the life God expects us live as Christians. A legacy to express Christ at all places and at all time. Thanks Jamal the Legend. #yourloveworldspecial
Thanks for sharing. I met you a while back at in Jersey City at 29eleven music expo. Blessed to have met you and blessed with all that you do for the kingdom. I untie in prayer for Parris Bowen's family and loved ones. Praying for the comfort, strength and peace that is needed .
First, R I H Parris you are a Legend and a gift to Gospel Musicians all around the world. No words can express how Great he is. Last but not least Gospel keyboard at that time connected all gospel musicians from east to the west coast North and south. At my darkest time I had to move away from Baltimore to live in Texas and all I had to keep me proud and motivated was your website. It aloud me to show ppl how we play on the east coast. Thank you for creating the first UA-cam/ Social media for musicians. Believe it or not that website kept my friends and I from Texas and Baltimore off the streets. We only wanted to be the best musicians we could be. You should be honored and respected for your contribution to so manny lives!
Thank you for honoring a fallen Hero, a true man of God. God bless you Jamal. There's a pull to the secular, but seeing this and hearing Parris Bowens is good for the Body of Christ.
I would love to connect with you Jamal and get guidance on what i can do when I'm out at my gigs to bring ppl in to get saved. Cause i don't think or feel that me being just a musician and hoping that God's spirit would be felt through my playing "my ministry" when at the bars and places. I always pray that it does "maybe it is and i don't see it" but I'm not much of a talker but always thought and been thinking what can i do
Hi Jamal. There was a thing or two I got from your sharing - I really appreciate you doing your thoughts online for our benefit. Was a church pianist eons ago and I want to get back to it - using your sound. Could you recommend a keyboard I can buy that can use your sound, other equipment I'd need, how I can use your sound with these? Is there any documentation you can point me to? I honestly don't know where to start looking or asking. Looking forward to hearing and purchasing from you. Efe, UK.
Amen Brother Jamal i don’t like the saying that says sorry for your lost, if you know where someone is at their not lost.... may God strengthen your Spirit. Let me know about the cash app. God Bless
Man so true! It's sad to go to church and be an awesome musician but a crappy Christian. The church has to go back to discipleship and include musicians in that process. The business of church is discipleship not preacher, praise team, ushers etc. If God can make Peter go from being a fishermen to being a fisher of men, than God wants musicians to go from music to instruments for Christ.

wow, I forgot all about this Scripture! PERFECT!!!

Jamal. Thank you Lord for these gifts
I felt convicted as a musician when you said our gift can become an idol even when using it in church.
So good, man. Those videos you did with Parris and soundcheck changed my life as a musician. Fortunately, I was able to hang with Parris a few times and tell him how much of an impact he had on me. Super grateful for you and your tribute to him.
He will be sorely missed in the church world Wowwww
Man. Jamal. Wow, what a word sharing about this powerful man. Thank you!
You touched my soul with the word. I needed to hear 👂🏽 that.
Thanks for this. Speaks volumes on how your life can e a living witness in the Market place.
Thanks for sharing! I haven't met Parris but I've met him through your experience with him. I did however know AG Praise. A great humble brother indeed.
I love you Bro. Followed you 8 years ago since the Kronos in Orlando video. Now I have one. I love your meekness and humility. Love and be Christ.
I never heard about him but am glad to hear you talk about him it brought tears to my eyes
Thanks for sharing this about my cousin. He did what he was born to do-share the love of Christ with other musicians & young people. Each one, reach one! The authenticity of his relationship with Christ was a magnet! You are on point Parris loved the Lord & so effortlessly shared that love with others in & out of the music industry.
Thanks doing this, Jamal!
Parris was and always will be my hero.
Bless you, man. #LongLiveKingParris
Thanks for doing this Jamal. Never met you but just like Parris you were part of my formative years as a musician. This lose really hurts!
You two revolutionize my play.
Real taught,jamal ...we need to fall in love with the giver of the GIFT than the Gift itself....! FACTS
Jamal I have been following you for a long time and I must say I am blessed by your consistency in you walk with Christ. It shows that you are sincere in your walk and thats worth more than any amount of chords or sheds. Be encourage! There are some of us that are looking for those good examples and are encourage by it!

That's so touching! May God bless us all that we serve Him with all our hearts and defeat the power of darkness and be real preaching the power of light, Jesus Christ.
Obrigado por esse depoimento Jamal !!!
We heard about him after he did the “Jesus at the Center” record. He was phenomenal behind the keys. What a crazy season of loss for so many... prayers for his family! Great video too! 🙏🏽
I have always seen you and your wife as a light since Ive started watching your videos.....stay blessed.
Thank you Jamal from South Africa... I was wondering what happened to AG praise 💔... I followed both of you over 12 years now
we thank God for having blessed us with his gift .. thank u Jesus
This was straight from the heart dear brother indeed Man just wish I had met him in person we spoke via email & social media was about to join SCHOOL OF DAVID his lifelong dream of mentoring & teaching Musicians yet the lord had another plan A GREAT MAN OF GOD WE LOST
This is beautiful Jamal! It's very relevant to me esp as a pilot that quit! We think we're ready for the world, but it's dark. We better love God, this close to his return. More valuable than everything.
Wow.... Was blessed by your testimony of Him. God bless you for sharing Sir😇😇
What!!?? Aww man! He was so cool! He actually responded to me a few times on a couple of his Facebook lives. RIP brotha.
Sleep on sir. In a land where we'll never grow old.
Don't know him, but the few videos I watched about him.
We lost a good man. My condolences late to you and his family
Beautiful tribute. You spoke a mystery. You said Jesus sat and led people to Christ and that Parris did the same. Awesome.
Man I met him in high school and saw him all the time over the years and even played with him a couple times recently, this was such a huge loss and I can totally see him saying all of what you said this one was so unreal and heart breaking such a pure heart individual
