We recognize that all people have questions, but very few spaces exist to have open, honest, and respectful discourse around the deepest questions humans ask.
Join us for DIG & DELVE!
What is DIG & DELVE?
DIG & DELVE is an annual conference in Ottawa that is all about giving people a safe space to engage in discussion and explore deep issues that humans have been wrestling with for a long time.
One popular worldview promoted in our media is that it is foolish to believe in God. Influential writers disparage those interested in considering the relevance of faith to life.
Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence. - Richard Dawkins
At DIG & DELVE we hope to provide an open, honest and respectful environment where people can explore reasons why faith makes sense and why it is meaningful to give consideration to the life and teaching of Jesus. We hope to encourage curiosity and a healthy critical inquisitiveness. People coming from a spectrum of world-views, Christian and otherwise, are welcome.
At DIG & DELVE, we gather talented experts in their fields to come and share their opinions about deep issues human wrestle with and together we discuss some of the latest research around these questions.
Expect to be challenged. Join us at DIG & DELVE.

Thanks for watching
I had been having the same feelings as this Sir. I want to learn more about God. Please pray for me for whoever is there. Thank you.
praying now
I will pray for you, but you should also pray specifically for God to help you learn and grow each day. He will send people and resources into your life.
Gody .B get out the Bible, read Genesis, Exodus, then Samuel and Psalms. Spend lots of time in Psalms and listen to David’s relationship with God. Then Isiah, Jeremiah and then jump to Matthew and go through the New Testament. Just be open and listen
praying for you
May God Almighty reveal Himself to you in Jesus mighty name. Amen. But you need to open your heart. Harden not your.heart.
When I became Christian, my whole family didn’t believe me and thought I was losing my mind. I was such a atheist before Christ!
Search the following: Tetragrammaton, Gematria , Piso Roman Family , Zion Protocol of the elders,Pagan origin of Judaism
now Why u christian again?
Got Ghost because he has the right to choose. He found the true and living God.
What a great testimony! Thank you for living for the Lord!
@Wild Eye At least u get part of my point
Now let there be hell in Wild Eye house
Maybe because being a Christian requires spiritual faith and acceptance of grace, and not pagan practices.
I'm an agnostic , this May . Im starting to start a fresh journey with God❤️Stronger faith and More knowledge/wisdom
How exciting!!!! Keep us posted!!❤❤❤
Prayers that you open your heart to Jesus Christ. He stands there knocking. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life. ❤️
@@TrevoltIV back to being an agnostic lol
How come?
@@UNESCO_AGENTnot good
I had come across this testimony in the summer of 2018. I was just back from a retreat in Italy where I got to visit Assissi. It wasn't a Christian retreat but new age. I was lost and struggling to find the way. In Assissi I was intrigued by the life os St Francis. Was searching videos about him and other saints on youtube and this came into my feed. I enjoyed listening to Dr. Lim's story being a Korean myself but never thought it could also be for me and continued my new age path. Eventually, in 2020 I lost everything and in the spring of 2021 I met Jesus, my everything. ♥
As an ASAIN I had to discover GOD in a very powerful way and being a loner with not too many friends I CAN relate to his testimony.
Great!!
Wire Wire Bless you. Relate to that.
Well, you're my brother as well.
I never thought about how segregated the Christian family can be at times.

Totally
Very sad
Religion is nothing without Morals...
Relate to that
This was excellent! I raised my sons to know the Lord yet when my younger son was a junior in high school he told me he was an atheist. It really broke my heart as a parent and yet I continue to pray for him. I pray that God would pursue him with a relentless love and that he will one day come back to his faith in Christ because he accepted him as his Savior as a 5 year old boy. He is 22 now but I do believe God keeps working, even when we don't always see it.
@Guess My Name Intelligence is different from wisdom. Knowing the Saviour Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and Lord of Lord's is wisdom.
@Guess My Name The whole Bible is having historical proof. Does others have historical proof except Budism.
@Guess My Name It looks like you accept Einstein opinions about Bible. what about his opinion about your other believes.
@Guess My Name Einstein is scientist his opinion can be discussed. Opinion of ordinary people like us no one will consider. It looks like you are frustrated about the truths of Bible and expressing your opinion.
@Guess My Name It is true they're frustrated because Bible warns about their sinful behavior pride and immoral life.
I was raised Christian but over time after being bullied I strayed away. Now that I’m older I realize that those that bullied me did not reflect what the Word of God says. We all make mistakes and fall short. But our savior Jesus Christ made it possible for us to be forgiven. We don’t deserve it.
Amen to that!!! Christianity is not for the perfect. It's for Christ!
We are all sinners, but Jesus, who never committed a sin, became the most impure- took on all our sins- so that we may be forgiven. Our sins are washed away in the blood of Jesus. He became the sacrifice. And Jesus is always looking for the one lost sheep, the one who has become lost in this fallen world. He is looking for you!
Excellent point of view. Thank you for that inflection. I loved it. Superb thought on Jesus Our Lord.
When about 29 , though a Christian, due to an abusive husband, I decided to end my life. Then, in broad daylight in my room alone, I heard a very strong mans voice say, I am your God, ELOI. I replied, NO, I only have one God, Jesus Christ. Then the voice said, look it up in the concordance of your Bible. Then I did, thinking I’d never heard of it, and it referred me to mark 15, where Jesus was hanging on the cross and cried out, ELOI, ELOI, lama sabach Thani, I.e. my God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? Then I was engulfed in the total love of God, and knew I was not forsaken be God, even tho my husband hated me, just as Jesus wasn’t, as he rose from the dead. Thank you.
Hello. So, what I want to do with this message is to simply show what the Gospel is.
I am not trying to force my belief down people's throats.
It's your choice whether you want to accept it.
So, a question: Do you think you are a good person?
If so, have you ever stolen anything, lied, looked lustfully, watched adult material? All of those are sins and anyone who sinned is not good(on God´s standard).
You, I and most( most because babies don't sin, and maybe specifically mentally Ill people) purely human beings have violated God's moral law.
Since God is just, He can not let sin go just like that. So is there any hope? Yes, there is! Out of love and mercy, God became a human being, Jesus Christ. Jesus lived a
sinless life and finally died on the cross to bear the punishment we deserve, we deserve to be punished because we have sinned.
The reason why blood must be spilled for forgiveness of sins is because the life of the flesh is in the blood, in the Old Testament Jews sacrificed animals for sins but the
sacrifice of animals were enough to temporarily cover some sins. (it did not allow forgiveness of sins, unlike Jesus´s, it only temporarily covered them)
Jesus is the Lamb of God, the ultimate sacrifice for sins which is enough for all sins that have been done, are done and will be done. He was buried and rose again. His
resurrection proved that His death was enough to pay our penalty, the penalty for our sins.Jesus paid our
penalty and in order to accept the free gift of salvation from God, we must trust in Jesus's spilled Blood, His finished work on the Cross for our salvation. And then your
sins will be forgiven because of what Christ did, you will be saved.
See: Romans 3:10, Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12, Romans 6:23, Romans 5:8-9, Romans 10:9-10, Ephesians 2:8-9, John 3:16, Leviticus 17:11, Ephesians 1:7, Colossians 1:20,
1 Corinthians 15:1-4. ua-cam.com/video/lbb4xwYj19g/v-deo.html
Evidence for God´s existence: Kalam cosmological argument, Contigency argument, Modal ontological argument. Regarding Christianity, check out InspiringPhilosophy´s videos
about the Ressurection of Jesus and the reliability of the New Testament. Together, they show good evidence that Christianity is true.
@@Navii-05 I don't think it is a logical thing. Something in the heart/inside that we follow. I know different people work in different ways though
@@stubdo16 No offense but you simply stated your opinion and provided no evidence for it.
@@Navii-05 the evidence is the feeling/direction/inner conviction. That's my point really. The evidence is not outside but there inside 'us' already. A sort of inner resource. We can't feel other people's feelings so can't experience the evidence except within ourselves. Again, I know this is subjective but to me the whole thing is subjective, and that's fine
@@stubdo16 But I directed to evidence that is not based on inner feelings of modern men. You should really check it out. Christianity is either OBJECTIVELY True or objectively false. No in between
The prayers of a loving Christian mother avail much.

nayanmalig - You can make one verse of the Bible say whatever you want it to say if you have no clue about the context, and quote one verse. You must take the whole Bible to understand the Bible, or you'd think satan had your best interests at heart and wanted you to be like gods. Read all of that chapter to understand the context of the verse you just quoted, and you'll find out very quickly its not those who walk with God that need to worry about those things, but rather those who choose not to.

The alienation thing is so common in churches it so sad. It is what drives many people away from church. May God have mercy on us.

@@David88973 so easy to forget that these days when people who are different from us enter the church. The body of Christ should be more supportive and more importantly should reach out more. A good song about that is the song "If We are the Body" by Casting Crowns.

YHWH alone is the one and only Lord, G-D, Savior, Redeemer, Creator, and Master of the Universe. He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus is the biggest Jewish heretic in history and is currently rotting in hell for his heresy and blasphemy, thus he will never make a second comeback. Repent to the one Lord and G-d, worship, have faith, trust, revere, and fear Him alone!
Reminds me of my junior year in college. There is nothing like the hedge of protection that a mother’s prayers create.
knowledgetracker I concur, many a time where I found out after the fact, when I decided against the majority on going to a bar or get into something I wasn’t supposed to be doing, those times I genuinely feel like God spoke to me and said no, funny thing is most times that would happen my friends or otherwise would end up hurt or in trouble in some shape or form.
Amen! 🙏

@@cinesanti7 - I feel for you. Prayers for you in Jesus Christ's name. YHWH, which is Yahweh, is Jesus Christ, who is God in human form. You even used the words that describe our Lord, which come from nothing but the New Testament. Please stay clear of blaspheming the Holy Spirit, which is the spirit God sent to earth as our protector when Christ ascended into heaven. That is the unpardonable sin. Praying for you. Come Lord Jesus, come. You will get another chance if you are still alive at his second coming. 💕
I’m now in the journey, sometime i feel like I believe in Jesus, sometime I feel like he’s never existed. Always confusion and feel guilty sometimes. Also so many questions whenever reading the bible. But believe he will lead me. Pray for faith in Jesus.
Keep learning and growing Brother it's not about feelings it's about knowing Him more deeply You will fully have confidence in Whom you know ....
If you don't mind iam willing to help you understand what you find it hard to as you read your Bible reach me on rencechum@gmail@gmail.com
Florence Chuma Thanks !
Thats part of God's grace. Been dealing with this too, its just one of his way telling you that its okay to ask and doubt but in the end it made you be aware that he is there and have a relationship with him.
Read about Padre Pio it will change your mind! 50 years after he died his body is still in perfect condition and looks like hes just sleeping... He is saint from Italy btw, many many miracules in his life, you can find about that easily on google, people still reporting miracules from prayers to him
I don't know how many people are in the crowd but I know the power of Silence when people are listening. Powerful
actually, that is called polite behavior. No magic involved.
@GYMTROLL ERIC Agreed.
Good point!
@@madamvaudelune3298 He said nothing about magic
@Cedany He is saying 'people are listening' like its a big deal. People listen to a lot of things. It's not 'powerful,' its human behavior' before something unusual. Read between the lines.
I had Dr. Lim as a professor years ago. He is a great guy! Very nice to hear his testimony.
so sad about the youth groups. I have also found much hate within my own church and feeling lonely in church family..but After watching this, It makes me want to go search for anyone who is lonely and be-friend them
This is really the thruth
A must watch a must listen to a Real True Testimony of how my True Almighty God the eternal Abba Father the Lord Jesus Christ hath saved me from dying on 1/08/2016 right here ua-cam.com/video/Qi2zQztjgHE/v-deo.html Amen.
So many Christian parents and youth leaders do not invest their lives teaching children WHY you behave a certain way or believe the gospel or HOW to give themselves sacrificially for another. They have glory clubs where they laugh and have fun and do not put the love of Jesus into action. And there are so many pastors who have a pride problem and just want to be called by a title and listen to their own voice every Sunday on a stage. But seek the Lord, give away your traditional ideas of church membership and let Him lead you to a home fellowship or vibrant small church.
I got saved at 17 in a small southern country church, shortly after moved to the big city and started going to a big church. Started going to the youth group where I pretty much did not exist. I enjoyed the mature adults a whole lot more. Wound up finding a small friendly church in another section of town. How do WE treat people,
keep me company
He is SO real and down to earth. Great testimony. Very honest!
all delusions though, i really feel bad for him

“Accept” Jesus where in the Bible do you get this from?
@@LuisPerez-fy6up
Hi,
The Bible does not *LITERALLY* word for exact word say 'accept Jesus as, or...' however, scripture without a doubt, implies the importance of accepting Yeshua (Jesus) without using the *exact* wording. There are many, many thing's in scripture that are not "outright" or "literally" said...but are understood.
Well, what does it mean to *accept?*
*AC·CEPT* /əkˈsept/ verb
• 1. consent to receive (a thing offered).
• 2. believe or come to recognize.
*(John 4:10). Paul said, “The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 6:23).*
*By definition, a gift is not forced...but it must be accepted. A gift also can be refused. John the Baptist said of Yeshua (Jesus,) “He testifies to what he has seen and heard, but no one accepts his testimony. The man who has accepted it has certified that God is truthful” (John 3:32-33).*
So, accepting is receiving, coming to recognize, believe. Therefore it is undeniably scriptural to "accept" Jesus, although not stated in the Word *literally.*
Shalom
I was for 38 years. Big mistake. I wish I came to God sooner
@@ThereIsHopeWithGod well explained bro
@@ThereIsHopeWithGod I think the point Luis made, and I think it is a good one, is Jesus made a sacrifice that we may be one in Him and may be saved through Him…if we obey Him. “You are my friends if you do what I command you”. JN 15:14
A passive acceptance of Christ as Lord doesn’t get it done and your biblical quotes do not say Jesus is a gift; He is the hope of the nations and He doesn’t want your acceptance but you to love God above all and one another as yourself. You can’t sit passively on your hands accepting your “free gift” like cheap grace, assenting He is Lord and Savior of all, because He is, whether you assent or not.
At the end my shoulders markedly relaxed and my heart rate dropped. He does have it covered and I'm already accepted, I can forget about living up to church culture and I can drop all of the pressure.
What an amazing message of redemption and God's reaching unfailing love.
So good so much thruth
AMEN
I asked God a favor once "help me understand". I am not even sure what I meant at the time but what I started understanding was extremely complex physics, quantum mechanics and philosophy. All with an 8th grade education and only a GED later achieved. Before I asked I could not understand these things, if I started reading string theory I would become disinterested and trail off. I attempted it many times, I just lacked the knowledge to understand complex wave function. sub-atomic particles, wave-particle duality, time dilation etc etc not to mention the countless of theories I suddenly gained an understanding of.
I attribute this to God answering because I sure didn't get it from a school. Funny thing is you would think science would lessen my faith in God, nope, it strengthened it as it proved to me just how complex and interesting method in which God creates. Seeing it in your mind and witnessing the amazing creation of God's is an experience that no other can live up to. God is an amazing being and Christ is how we candidly talk with God, its as simple as that. We understand a certain aspect of how to communicate with God by utilizing Christ as a conduit to God.
Why take the High road. When the low road is such easy travel.
@@evilcowboy
Lol, quit joking. If you really did understand those things you most probably wouldn't have made a distinction between physics and qm. Made up bs.
I have NEVER heard of this man. Never heard of Dig & Delve. And I, myself being a pastor, was deeply moved by this testimony. Even to tears...IMPACTING!!!!
Kimetta Coleman some of his other sermons are online too. God bless.
He is a great speaker, humorous, honest and human!! Love this story!
Beautiful beautiful.
On the day that I believed in God, I found a bible and began to read. Dr. Lim describes how the stories of the old testament filled him with wonderment as it did for me. As I study the texts, I have more questions resulting in exploring more deeply. By starting with the profound truth, "God is Love", some questions are answered and some remain a mystery. I am thankful that God chose me through His grace and I am "born again."
If you really would have read the bible , you would be an Atheist by now ! So .... try again !

I simply stopped at this video, and as a Christian I thank the Lord for brother Lim's testimony, it's the first time I hear of a christian being converted by the power of a godly hymn. I am thankful for God's saving grace! Praise the Lord!
I met a man who was a Bach scholar (from Japan Buddhism in his life) and the hope of Bach's music brought him to the church where he learned about Jesus and was baptized. I met him when he guest conducted for a local Bach performance group called Bach Collegium. It was lovely.
Spiritual experience
What god are you referring to, and how do you know of it? What does it "save" you from?
That’s the Holy Spirit working in Dr Lims heart through the beautiful hymn 🙌🙏😊
Great honest presentation. We need more academics to step up to the plate and honor their Lord. If you are ashamed of me on earth I will be ashamed of you before my Father in Heaven. Bless you Paul.
Phil Knox we don't need more academics we need more disciplines preaching the gospel on the streets, people who follow jesus, the real jesus not an girly jesus.
we need less academics? what do you mean?
Crabby Lobster I didn't say we less academics, I said we need more disciplines following jesus not siting in so called churches,jesus said...
I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. (John 17:23, ESV)
So people will believe in when they see real followers of jesus like this ones...
41 So those who received his word were baptized, and there were added that day about three thousand souls. 42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved. (Acts 2:41-47, ESV)
32 Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common. 33 And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all. 34 There was not a needy person among them, for as many as were owners of lands or houses sold them and brought the proceeds of what was sold 35 and laid it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to each as any had need. 36 Thus Joseph, who was also called by the apostles Barnabas (which means son of encouragement), a Levite, a native of Cyprus, 37 sold a field that belonged to him and brought the money and laid it at the apostles' feet. (Acts 4:32-37, ESV)
And they sold everything because they believed what jesus said here....
26 "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be my disciple. 27 Whoever does not bear his own cross and come after me cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:26-27, ESV)
So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple. (Luke 14:33, ESV)
That's what we need to see.
For it is written, "I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will thwart." (1 Corinthians 1:19, ESV)
20 Where is the one who is wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the debater of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? 21 For since, in the wisdom of God, the world did not know God through wisdom, it pleased God through the folly of what we preach to save those who believe. 22 For Jews demand signs and Greeks seek wisdom, 23 but we preach Christ crucified, a stumbling block to Jews and folly to Gentiles, 24 but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. 25 For the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men. 26 For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. 27 But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; 28 God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, 29 so that no human being might boast in the presence of God. 30 And because of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became to us wisdom from God, righteousness and sanctification and redemption, 31 so that, as it is written, "Let the one who boasts, boast in the Lord."

I also came across this video ''by accident'' but what a great testimony you have, it had encouraged me, and I pray the Lord will continue to bless you and your work, your family and friends. greetings from The Netherlands.
crazy I came to Christ via a song too, what a friend we have in Jesus
That's a beautiful, classic hymn. The song Who Am I by Casting Crowns really helped get me back on the path and humble me. You should check it out sometime if you haven't already.
An incredible, beautiful, open, honest testimony that truly touched me. I am also an immigrant. My younger daughter arrived at 14 and with the exception of already being a born again christian had almost the exact experience. I am still trusting God to completely heal her and show her His purpose for her life
YHWH alone is the one and only Lord, G-D, Savior, Redeemer, Creator, and Master of the Universe. He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Jesus is the biggest Jewish heretic in history and is currently rotting in hell for his heresy and blasphemy, thus he will never make a second comeback. Repent to the one Lord and G-d, worship, have faith, trust, revere, and fear Him alone!
GOD is great his love never fail Glory to Jesus!!!
Yes a good man
@@veronicaashby5645 Not just a good man. He is GOD...in the flesh!
This came up on my recommendation list so many times and i ignored it but man what a blessing it was to hear this testimony.
I think often we believe testimonies are mostly for the benefit of the none believer but it truly serves to strengthen the believer who is struggling to return to their first love Jesus.

Yes. Amen 🙏🏽
I used to mock my family going to church, yet my Mother never gave up on me. She prayed for my salvation. In college and when I was all knowing a strange thing happened to me. There were lessons about the human cell and the complexity of DNA. Science was my road back to God. The renowned Physicist Sir Frances Hoyle an atheist computed to statistical probability of the Universe, the Earth and life coming about undirected and that ratio was 1 chance out of 10 followed by ten thousand zeros. That number is greater than all the molecules in the universe. In a court of law that is way way more than beyond reasonable doubt and was good enough for me.
THis probability thing has been debunked many times. For any probability to make sense u need to know the alternative possibilitties which are definitely possible. Dice has definitely six possibilities so you can calculate the probability. Because we dont have other universes to compare it to (other definite posibilities which could have arisen with the conditions at the start) you the calculated probability is meaningless. Me typing and ending this sentence here at this time in this city in this room is also virtualy impossible just as any action without a reference to other possibilities, using this logic. And even if the possibility was indeed that which you state, if an infinite (or nearly infinite) number universes exist then its not surprising that in one of them the right sonditions for life occured.
@@scienection7261 and what are the probabilities that an infinite number of universes exist?
@@juangonzales3059 not knowable. And I dont claim to know it or claim how amazing and unlikely it is.The point about the infinite universes was just to show that many reasons can be used to explain how a seemingly unlikely event can actually happen without god.
Andrey Malyshev - why not look directly at the life of Christ and see how He fulfilled over 300 prophecies about Him that were written in the Old Testament. There are very interesting statistical studies that have been done on the probabilities of one person fulfilling that many prophecies. One in particular one was done by Peter Stoner in his book “Science Speaks”. Check it out.
Me too, I grew up in a spirit filled Christian home but personally never was born again. In uni i studied human anatomy and anthropology, and I remb one day being so confused, evolution science on one hand vs miracles of God I witnessed in my life growing up. The truth was one or the other and the dilemna of both being real tormented me. I decided to ask God directly (cos I couldn't ask them dead apes and dinosaurs) to show me if He is real. I remember asking this question very sincerely and with all my heart. Minutes after that "monologue" with God, I youtubed "prove God is real" and suddenly a Christian video broke the veil (that is evolutionary lies) just like that. I wept for hours straight after without reason (mix of sadness and joy) and in that moment recommitted my life to Jesus. Evolution and human reasoning is a lie that is like a veil that for many intellectual type personalities, only God can break.
I'll keep my prayers for my two sons. Someday they are going to hear the voice of the Lord saying to them: I do no want your money, I want you!
AMEN! I agree with you!
Amen; we need this encouragement as mothers not to give up too soon!
There is no prayer like a mom’s prayer for her children!! Stay encouraged!
@@missnadial5174 As one example, the mother-in-law of my older brother. Just to be in her presence you know she knows the Lord. And when you talk with her, that she is always praying, etc. That fact 'seals the deal.' I became friends with her sons, and treated like one of her nephews. One of her nieces also told me the story of her husband. When they were younger he was running around with women. She just prayed that he would change his ways.
She stayed with him through all of it. And he became a new person, a 'new person in Christ.' Knowing him in the present, I could never imagine his past. So prayer from a Godly person does change the heart and soul.
yes ma never give up on, the prayer of a lovely mom always work.
I have tears in my eyes, thank you so much Mr. Lim! You're awesome!

Hello friend have you seen John Ramirez story,Evangelist 💌🙏
When God sends the Holy Spirit to open the eyes of your heart you know you were chosen. Thank you Father God the Almighty. You pulled me out of the pit of my hell and started molding a new me. Hallelujah. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
In Jesus' Mighty Name, Amen and Amen!
Eric; If one uses Hallelujah with out knowing and understanding what it means then it is of no significance at all especially if one does not thirst for accurate knowledge' look up meaning of Hallelu-Jah' it's of no value what-so ever until one using it knows what it actually means.. and then still of no benefit if one does not allow themselves to be moved toward joining those who do care enough to follow Christ in true worship.. Isaiah 43:7, 10-43; I hope the best outcome for you' and those your responsible for
Len I pray that God opens the eyes of your heart and that God truly reveals himself to you and that you don't ever replace God with yourself

I served as the youth group leader of the Korean Philippo Presbyterian Church in Long Island City, NY. For a 6'4 white guy from the Midwest, I was completely out of my element. One of the favorite times of my life! Love this testimony!

Any person from Korea who becomes Christian alerts my interest in your personal testimony; especially your arrival to the United States as a young person in a brand new culture. Thank you for sharing!
It might also surprise you to know that many of the worlds largest churches are located in South Korea. Christianity is practiced broadly there. Many people think of Korea as being one nation, but it is two nations. The south is democratic and high tech (think samsung products). The north is ruled by Kim Jong Un and is a dictatorship. Two very different nations.
정우진 what are you talking about?? Back then Koreans were Buddhism. In every drama there only Buddha. I was Borneo in Seoul. In recent 30 yrs Koreans switching to Christians. 30 yrs ago when I still lived in Korea. I didn’t see churches. What’s fact now. In Los Angeles. There’s more Korean church than Korean restaurants. They know where money is. Smart . .
Alcia Luv yes and you can UA-cam Korea mega church. A lot of pastor went jail for money laundry. Sex assault. One pastor from mega church took 30 million dollars as retirement check and he was getting $75000 monthly check. Church members were mad when they found out how their church spend their donations. Church is the best business.
@@fchiang7190 That is very sad. Some mega churches in the United States had the same problem. It's called greed and I think it's a shame.
The Christian Delusion: "In an era illuminated by science and reason, the "good news" of Christianity became less and less convincing a metaphysical structure, less secure foundation upon which to build one's life, and less psychologically necessary...Under the spotlight of the modern demand for public, empirical, scientific corroboration of all statements of belief, the essence of Christianity withered.
"The Judaeo-Christian God was a peculiarly durable combination of wish-fulfillment fantasy and anthropomorphic projection - made in man's own image to assuage all the pain and right all the wrongs man found unbearable in his existence. If, by contrast, the unsentimental human reason could adhere closely to the concrete evidence, there was no necessity to posit the existence of such a God, and much that argued against it.
"With its apocalyptic prophecies and sacred rituals, its deified human hero and world savior motifs, its miracle stories, moralisms, and veneration of saints and relics, Christianity seemed best understood as a successful folk myth...
"Raisings from the dead, miraculous healings and exorcisms, a divine-human savior, a virgin birth, manna from heaven, wine from water, water from rocks, partings of seas - all appeared increasingly improbable to the modern mind, bearing as they did too many similarities to other mythical or legendary concoctions of the archaic imagination."
Richard Tarnas, The Passion of the Western Mind, Ballantine Books, New York.
Just like Dennis Prager: "How I found God at Columbia". He realized that what he was learning at Columbia was foolishness. Why? Because there was no God at Columbia. No God, no wisdom. Psalm 111:10 "The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom; all who follow his precepts have good understanding."
Amen; I love your response, sister!!! God bless you!!!
"The fear of the lord" is the beginning of FOOLISHNESS and IGNORANCE!
So true. No wisdom in believing. Just fools with relics for minds.
So now, all you have to do is present EVIDENCE THAT THIS GOD EXISTS. Where is he? How do you know that he exists? Because faith is a very, very bad path to the truth. By faith I can convince myself of anything. If your God is God, then he should be able to make himself known to all, not just a few. Is your god depending on ME, a human being with no power at all, to access HIM? I thought that he was powerful. What evidence have you that I may be convinced?
Give them a chance, maybe they can produce evidence for this god.
Almost all preachers leave their personal testimonies out of the preaching, yet the Bible says that we overcome by the word of our testimony as well as by the blood of Jesus.

@NICK COIN damn you dont understand context or meaning. you make us athiests look bad. fucking idiot.
Dark Thought That was painful to read.

Most of us went thru rejection of God, but admitting the help we need is beyond us will bring us to the Savior who redeems our lives. Read last words of famous atheists online....
He does not make a show, but he speaks frankly. I like people who play with uncovered cards
he explains it quick and easy. thats why i like him he did it without any super long explanations or any like super annoying way he explains how he got to where he is and he explains it in such a good way while still keeping it simple
I agree wholly. Just an honest guy, always trying to do the best he knew how. Christianity would get much farther on this Earth if we were stripped of pride and knew what we know and were open to what we do not (to try and test against what we do know, not to accept without question). There is no divide between real science and true religion. Even the staunchest atheist scientists tend to believe in extra-terrestrial life as a likely possibility. The idea that more intelligent life, not from this Earth, exists in this universe is so self-evident given the innumerable galaxies (let alone stars, let alone planets) that only a fool would discount it. The only chasm between that understanding and Theism is a personal benevolent disposition. But why would an intelligent alien or alien species want to interact with man for negative purposes? Surely there are plenty of natural resources more readily available than making war with us to steal ours or to destroy us for having a dirty house! That leaves only benevolent purposes and bridges the short gap. Having a basic concept of God similar to Star Trek's Vulcans, or Carl Sagan's guides from Contact is not so far removed from Christianity that we cannot embrace it as a type or shadow. We all have much to learn. I appreciate Dr. Lim's approach of "let us find out together." So much has been lost to competition. So much can been gained through cooperation.
I made up my mind about his character (Dr. Lim) as soon as he related his response to God speaking truth to him. So many, too many push back and fight God's will. He simply knew it for what it was an accepted it humbly. Too often we try to hurriedly twist God's voice into our own interpretations and then lock it in, instead of listening and seeking perfect understanding without assuming we have found it (before such time God reveals to us that we have).
"Even the staunchest atheist scientists tend to believe in extra-terrestrial life as a likely possibility." That has to be the dumbest statement I have read in a long time. But then you continue and it just gets worse... are you on meth?
Your logic is just superb. How could I argue with a quote, an ignorant statement, and two personal attacks?
The Drake equation gives at the very worst a .4% chance of alien life in our galaxy. There are billions of galaxies that we know about and we have never not encountered them the farther we look. That makes the possibility of INTELLIGENT alien life not only possible but an almost certainty: www.space.com/41080-alien-life-may-be-rare-today.html
From Stephen Hawking: "What are the chances that we will encounter some alien form of life, as we explore the galaxy. If the argument about the time scale for the appearance of life on Earth is correct, there ought to be many other stars, whose planets have life on them. Some of these stellar systems could have formed 5 billion years before the Earth. So why is the galaxy not crawling with self designing mechanical or biological life forms? Why hasn't the Earth been visited, and even colonised. I discount suggestions that UFO's contain beings from outer space. I think any visits by aliens, would be much more obvious, and probably also, much more unpleasant." www.hawking.org.uk/life-in-the-universe.html "This week, famed physicist Stephen Hawking helped launch a major new effort to search for signs of intelligent alien life in the cosmos, even though he thinks it's likely that such creatures would try to destroy humanity." www.space.com/29999-stephen-hawking-intelligent-alien-life-danger.html From Neil deGresse Tyson: "We go over a famous representation of that question called the Drake Equation: it's a way to organise our knowledge and ignorance about the search for life in the Universe3. In the book we use it to estimate that there are between 100 and 200 civilisations with technology that we can communicate with today in the Milky Way galaxy." www.wired.co.uk/article/neil-degrasse-tyson-welcome-to-the-universe ua-cam.com/video/Uk0pRPIQBY4/v-deo.html
I could go on all day. But why bother when the point is clearly proved?
How's YOUR meth workin out for you?
YOU REALLY THINK THAT i'M GOING TO READ THAT? Bwhahahahaha! Atheist scientists are the ones that allowed you to know that an extraterrestrial exists. And science and religion are oil and water, my little delusional friend. The former is based on reason, the latter on faith (non-reason).
One of the most honest n enjoyable presentation of testimony of conversion to Christianity ! Can relate to it
Leviticus 26:22New International Version (NIV)
22 I will send wild animals against you, and they will rob you of your children, destroy your cattle and make you so few in number that your roads will be deserted.
@@nayanmalig Whats the point of referencing this verse?
LOL Don't you like it as a Christian?
Deuteronomy 21:10-25:19 New International Version (NIV)
Marrying a Captive Woman
10 When you go to war against your enemies and the Lord your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, 11 if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails 13 and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured. After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife. 14 If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.
LOL I am Buddhist
I had also same experience in the 80s when I gave my life to Christ! The friends who left me finally came to know the same Savior!! One prayer I prayed was God to fill me with His spirit which He did. Then I had great pastors/people who always had time to answer my questions and prayed with! 33 years later, He’s still the best thing that happened to me!
randomly came to this video but was enthralled immediately and had to finish. great testimony!
SBS Christian Media Me too. I couldn't stop listening and Dr. Paul's testimony just moved me to tears. God is awesome.
No, not a great testimony, this guy is confused and still headed to Hell.
same here!
Yes! Very good :)
Yeah, me too. Just randomly popped up. He's so relatable and genuine. Want to see more videos from this guy
I got saved at the age of 19, but I searched for God since as far as I can remember the age of 6 or 7. I remember I would have experiences with seeing dark shadows in my room. My mother had 15 children & as a child some where married and moved away so it was like 7 of us left. I shared my room with 5 others. But I was the only one who would have this experience. Well, to make a long story short. The fear of that led me to pray and read the bible. Mom would always tell me not to fear because Jesus was always with me. That was the start of my search for God. I prayed and went to church. But never quite understood much. Growing up I would have my little sisters pray with me. But they didn't want to. Then my brother who was closest to me in age wanted to pray, but he is deaf mute. So I would teach him in sign language the best I could. Anyhow life went on and I prayed every night. But my mother being Catholic only taught me Our father prayer. So that's what I prayed for many years. At the age of 19 I got a new job and moved 130 miles away from home with my fiance at the time. The change of living in a new town with no family anf friends led to depression and I truly started reading the bible. But never felt changes. Iet a very nice lady at the supermarket and she invited me to her house. A week later I went to visit her and she haf me say the Lords prayer. I didn't feel anything. I went home and a few days later I started just crying uncontrollably and asking God to forgive me for every single sin I had ever commited. I started reading and understanding the bible. I fell in Love with Jesus & God in such a way that I couldn't live a moment without God not being in the center of it. A month later my deaf mute nrother came to visit me. And I had him say the Lords prayer. He was living a lifestyle during that time that he was loving and truly didn't want to change. But the morning aftet he woke up and gave me the tightest hug ever. His eyes were swollen and he looked so bright and different. Something about him had changed. The light was im him now. Jesus is the light, the true and the life. Thank You Jesus. I love you. Thank you for saving us.
YHWH alone is the one and only Lord, G-D, Savior, Redeemer, Creator, and Master of the Universe. He alone is the Way, the Truth, and the Life.

To obey is better than sacrifice
I don't need your money
I want your life
And I hear you say that I'm coming back soon
But you act like I'll never return
Well you speak of grace and my love so sweet
How you thrive on milk, but reject My meat And I can't help weeping of how it will be
If you keep on ignoring My words
Well you pray to prosper and succeed
But your flesh is something I just can't feed
To obey is better than sacrifice
I want more than Sunday and Wednesday nights
Cause if you can't come to Me every day Then don't bother coming at all
(La,la,la etc. )
To obey is better than sacrifice
I want hearts of fire
Not your prayers of ice
And I'm coming quickly
To give back to you

This is a great lecture. I think many churches could benefit by some training of it's members to be warm and welcoming to others, not just for the few minutes of greeting each other, but always.
Like he said Many churches create more enemies of Christians rather than friends because of the way they treat people that does not fit into their mold.
I loved this! So down to earth and vulnerable. I watched most of it with a smile on my face. I love hearing testimonies & hearing over & over again how good God is. 🙏🏻💙
Yeah, muslims are the same. With the same evidence. And the same stories.
This refreshing story is the way of the master. One life touching all life to seek and serve the Lord is the design of living. Thanks for sharing.
Ugh this resonates with me so much.
My stepdad is a youth minister and he gets so frustrated when I ask hard questions and says stop asking them. He even got angry with me when I kept asking. So God ultimately sent some others my way he had them prepared perfectly in my path to meet and gave me another youth minister as a friend to ask these tough questions. I praise God for giving us what we need and always supporting our spiritual journey and exploration for answers. I love you YAHWEH💗
you praise god for giving us what we need? you cant really think that that is a reasonable position. if you take off your privileged, born in a wealthy family in a country in the west glasses you would realize how many people are starving because they dont have what they need. yes god gives us what we need and lots of people need cancer and down syndrome or other genetic diseases. they just really needed that.. also lots of people needed to have their children die they just needed it happen. praise god praise him. hahahah
This message is one of my favorites of all time. Professor Lim is such an inspiration. His Sad Song message continues to speak to me years after listening to it. May he continue to build the church!

I love this!!! Thank you Dr. Lim!!! Absolutely amazing testimony. Brought tears to my eyes. I can really relate to that isolation and here I am at 27 still trying to find my purpose. It's very worrying for me but I felt better knowing that I'm not alone and you endured all of that loneliness and confusion going into your mid-late 20s. God bless you!!!
Thank Dr Lim!!! I love that your story reminded me to not judge and to be more open and sensitive to my fellow believers... so much of American Christianity leaves you thinking God isn't with you if you struggle... back to basics ! Ty ty for your testimony
What a wonderful testimony. It got me in tears. God is wonderful and awesome yet He is such a personal God.
I thoroughly enjoyed Paul. Magnificent! How could anyone question or doubt he's been truly converted and he doesn't care who knows it! He gets it!
Thank you Jesus the LORD for your tender mercies and grace. Thank you Dr Paul Lim for your great testimony.
I like his honesty and wit!
As he was going away to college, his mom would read the whole book of proverbs to him wanting him to gain Solomonic wisdom, and his dad would say "just don't do drugs". LoL. I laughed out loud.
I like his mom though. I love praying moms. I think they are awesome.
This is one of the most amazing testimonies I have heard in my life. While listening to this I was moved to Worship the God who called me also into the fellowship of His Son. Praise be to God and His Son Jesus Christ.
S Varghese ; which God or god are you referring to' the Son is not his own God as Satan's false teachers have many believing.. logic' in one verse alone..Jesus Words.. ,"there is one Greater than myself'.. My Father' who is in Heaven" again Jesus' the Son of God' spoke these words while he was yet on earth' many people saw Jesus and did not die' John 20:17;.. John 17: helps us understand truth' that sets one free from the bondage of lies' Satan is the father of lies.. John 8: 19,42-47;..
Very honest and heart-touching testimony from Dr.Paul and very glad to see the proof of people of all nations worshipping JESUS AS LORD.
G-d says in Isaiah 42:8 "I am the Lord. That is MY name." and again in Isaiah 43:11 "Besides me there is NO savior." This was said seven centuries before JC. Don't pretend to worship the G-d of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, and then contradict His instructions.
I loved Dr. Lim's testimony, so powerful and so real. As Christian's may we all learn from the experiences he went through and be more inclusive towards others seeking the truth.
I have heard his testimony before so good I listened to it again! Praise Jesus Christ!!!!
U are a awesome man of GOD we are BLESS to have u in GOD'S team .
God never leave me the whole time I was living my way. He was always there though I didn’t know it at that time. I believe once God makes you His he’ll do whatever it takes to make you follow the straight & narrow. Over the years I finally realised he’s there all along. Joining a Bible believing Christian church helps me a lot to get to know The Lord in a very personal way. And it’s the best learning process. The Bible is God breath & its Words never fail to encourage.

Thank you for telling me your story. You really gave me hope, not only for myself but for my children who have lost faith. Thank you for sharing, you’ve helped a great deal.
Pray. My parents prayed for me for 16 years and finally one day Jesus chose to reveal himself to me.
@@Logiconfire oh how awesome, that u became Christian, congratulation! Pls for my brother that we all praying for so many years, he is so lost in life.... Thank you!
Dr. Paul Lim: A Beautiful, and Simple prayer too at the end. Simplicity is Always best. Thank you again for such a loving way of Preaching, and wanting a dialogue with others, Amen.
Every night before we go to sleep we should make our lives right with God so that even if we were to die in our sleep we will still go to Heaven. Here is a good prayer to say before sleeping and throughout the day.
Say dear Lord Jesus I thank you for dying for my sins and I receive you as my Lord and saviour. Lord Jesus I confess all my past, present and future sins to you and I ask you to please forgive me for all these sins, wash away all my spots, blemishes and wrinkles and fill me with overflowing holy spirit and with overflowing spiritual oil even unto death. Lord I forgive and release all those who have done me wrong and I ask you to bless them. Lord Jesus please write my name permanently in the lambs book of life in Heaven in Jesus's name I pray. Amen🙏🙏
Pass this prayer to everyone, Jesus bless you.
I absolutely love this man! His honesty is so beautiful!
He is an honest emotionalist with nothing of substance to offer.
@@steveweiss7191 how sad that's what you came away with.
@Christopher Smith Anecdotal statements are subjective and carry zero value. You have a confirmation bias
@@Sundayschoolnetwork What should I have learned from this lost person trying to fit in and soothe his anxiety? Does he hear voices inside his confused head?
@Christopher Smith His story was caving in to a dominating mother and trying to find a place between two cultures. He didn't need god; he needed a shrink.
Thank you Dr. Paul, for sharing your testimony! Bless you.
First of all did I just hear a Korean say Jack Squat? … that is so cool. Man... how did this guy ever become a Christian against all these obstacles he went through. This is very inspiring and refreshing to me. I'm so glad I stumbled across this. I would like to follow this nice man.
Listen to this man, (Dr Paul Lim) but don't follow him. Follow Yeshua Jesus. He is the Way, the Truth and the Life.
He also said "chillax" LOL.
LULZ!! I THOUGHT THE SAME THING! Hahaha..and then I thought...how the hell did that term ever come into use? Like...some dude named Jack squats down...meaning he's taking a crap...and that's what it's supposed to mean...belittling something...since crap is worthless. Lol..I dunno. I know it's a weird line of thinking but I haven't heard that phrase in a long time. Still cool though.
@@SpanishwithNeena I'm hurtling toward my seventies and my grandson gasped and buckled laughing when I first used that term. I also joked that I couldn't afford to die so I intended setting up a go fund me page. He quipped: I'm stunned that you've even heard of that. Well, I'm on Facebook now and he, and my two children are policing me. Fun-nee!!!
*_Did Jesus said I am God and Worship Me in the bible by Himself ? No_*
Jesus said The Father is The Only true God
_The most important Teaching of Jesus_
*_THE LORD OUR GOD THE LORD IS ONE, HE IS THE FATHER, THE ONLY TRUE GOD, WORSHIP, THE TRUE WORSHIPERS WILL WORSHIP HIM IN THE SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH, PRAY TO HIM Who said beside that, will condemn at the last day_*
( _By Jesus, The Messiah, The Owner of Authority_ )
_Legal Basic_
John 12: 49 *For I did not speak on my own,* _but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken._
"The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: '
Mark 12:29 , Hear, O Israel: *_The Lord our God, the Lord is one._*
*_Who is The Lord is One_* _is Jesus refers to Himself_ *No*
Jesus answered it :
John 17 1-3 Jesus said *_You (The Father) , The Only True God_*
John 4 : 20- 24, *We worship* what we do know, the true worshipers will worship *the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks..
John 20:17. Jesus Said “I am ascending to *_my Father_* and your Father and to *_my God_* and your God.” (I am ascending to Our Father and Our God)
*And Jesus clearly dispute - reject He is a God by said :*
John 5:30 *_By myself I can do nothing;_* I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me
John 12: 49 *For I did not speak on my own,* _but the Father who sent me commanded me to say all that I have spoken._
John 14:28 that I am going to the Father, for *_the Father is greater than I_*
Mattew 24:36 "But *about that day or hour no one knows,* not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, *_but only the Father._*
*Then Jesus teached How to worship and Pray to The Father*
Matthew 6:
6 But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and *_pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you._*
9 “This, then, is how you should pray: *_“‘Our Father in heaven,_* hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread.
12 And *_forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors._* 13 And *_lead us not into temptation, but delive us from the evil one.’_*
*Jesus have warned all the people*
John 12 48 *There is a judge for* _the one who rejects me and _*_does not accept my words;_*_ the very words I have spoken _*_will condemn them at the last day._*
Muslim love Jesus as Prophet,
Quran 4: 75 _The Messiah, son of Mary, was not but a messenger; [other] messengers have passed on before him (like Abraham, Moses, Noah, Solomon, David etc)_

Thank you Dr. Lim for a wonderful words. I like to hear your story. Praise the Lord.
I too am glad i stumbled on this post. Dr Paul Lim, you have a great sense of humour!!! I laughed so much listening to this. and then I cried so much too. There's no doubt--God has a sense of humour too. God bless you and God bless your mother and your sister and your brother in law.
Moira Eastman ; WOW! ???
This is great ...
thank you!
God DOES have a sense of humor! One night I was watching Dr. Jason Lisle on youtube talking about evolution being false. Dr. Lisle even stated in that video that evolutionists believe that with enough time, anything is possible. Later through the video, our cat walked into the living room where I was and I just began observing him as he cleaned himself thinking to myself how God thought of every living thing. Our cat then proceeds to walk to our patio screen door, opens it all by himself (yes he can slide a screen door open on his own) and walks out. Out of nowhere, a foreign thought came into my mind that said "If you give him enough time, he'll learn how to cook." I began to laugh hysterically because I knew that only God could have planted such a hilarious foreign thought that joked about evolution. It was just another hilarious loving moment I shared with Jesus 🤣 True story!

I’ve
Never heard of you before sir but man! What a blessing! I hope to hear you speak one day! God be with you
I’m falling in love with Jesus everyday and let me tell you, this is unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I just want to give endless thanks for the love I know He has for me. I just want to learn anything and everything about Him.
praise God for what He has done; thank you for sharing this with us
GOD bless you Dr Paul Lim your reward is greater in heaven
So powerful..... I am on a quest to know more about God, these days I have alot of people coming against me because of my faith, including situations in my life (so hard), many battles . I am afraid that I am not well learnt enough to defend the truth. I am eager to learn more.
What a powerful testimony. For some reason, my eyes welled up when I anticipated Dr. Lim crying during that song.
There are NO lost causes. Never too late to except Jesus in to your life! :)
I WAS LOOKING at animal documentaries and chanced on this. how come? more curious is that i listened to the end and liked it. I just like this guy's frankness. thanks for sharing
Alex Kodwiw Jesus is calling you
Hey mate, I hope that the fact you listened to the whole video leads to something awesome! All the best 😊
God bless you Alex!
NICK COIN Excuse me but that verse was taken wayyyy out of context sir. If you don’t have a clue as to the historical and textual context from which you are quoting scripture, it can and will lead to ridiculous outlandish claims such as the one you have made.
This is just a prophetic declaration of the atrocities, which were often committed by cruel enemies when cities were plundered and sacked, that were to take place in Samaria (capital of the Israelitish kingdom at the time) by the hands of the Assyrians as a consequence of continuously rejecting the protection of their God. They did not want God’s protection, so He backed off. Why? Because love never forces or controls, it can only plead and plead and plead out of concern. Which is what He did, but it seemed to keep falling unto death ears. And so at that point nothing more could be done to deliver Samaria from her enemies. It was the will of the Samarians to push God away and therefore forfeit his Divine Protection.
So no, actually. Neither the God we worship nor our prophets LOVE to see such atrocities happen. Such things are detestable to God and by default to those who really truly love Him and have the light of Christ in them.
Consider the following: “For you are not a God who delights in wickedness; evil may not dwell with you.” (Psalm 5:4); “There are six things that the Lord hates, seven that are an abomination to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and HANDS THAT SHED INNOCENT BLOOD, a heart that devises wicked plans, feet that make haste to run to evil, a false witness who breathes out lies, and one who sows discord among brothers” (Proverbs 6:16-19).
Don’t misunderstand. Don’t associate atrocities carried out by the hands of evil men with the Hands of God. He does not sponsor the wicked nor the works of the flesh.
That said, cherry picking verses from the Bible and trying to mold them to fit your own preconceived notions without objectively looking at the picture as a whole is just foolish, I’m sorry.
May God bless you and open your eyes to the Truth. ❤️
@@b.janaetaveras8227 You explained that really perfectly, thank you! I learned from your response myself :) God bless you Nick and I hope that you get to know Jesus too
Thanks for sharing this testimony, Dr Lim. And thanks Dig and Delve for posting this sermon. Youth Pastors and Leaders would benefit from listening to this. A lot of churches are seeing a falling away of kids graduate out of youth group. Perhaps what Dr Lim shared of his experience is one reason.
I was drawn to this vid. and I’m so glad I did! Such a real and genuine and amazing testimony! I pray that any student listening to this feels compelled to come to know Christ! Because this world ...no matter how “educated and qualified” you become ... this world will eat you up and spit you out but Christ will always lift you and uphold you and all he wants is ... YOU
Your comment is spot on, sister!
Thank you for your raw testimony. You are doing the world a great service.
Dr. Lim, you are precious! What a wonderful testimony!
Not sure how I came across this but so glad I did. Thanks for sharing!
