In this most recent video, I share some thoughts on something significant I have been reflecting on quite a bit lately:
Why were we chosen to be born at this particular point in human history?
Do we really appreciate the amazing blessing of it being during the present Era we’re in?
Also, I will be starting a New Mini Series sharing some of the True Science I have learned about on my Journey, and how it provided valid and compelling answers to the 2nd GQ…Where did I come from?
We cannot control the length of our lives…but we can control its depth. –Our Daily Bread, 6.19.10
I became aware of and connected with David Barton’s outreach many years ago and actually helped facilitate bringing him in to speak at several large network marketing conferences during that time.
I was and still am, astounded by this true American History which, by and large, I was not taught in any school I have attended.
Biblical Christianity is not religion…it is REALITY based on all available objective evidence…evidence we are continuing to discuss through this GQG Forum.
I still have a number of David’s resources, including an earlier audio and DVD version of this talk, but I found this more recent one already posted, so I thought I’d share it.
It is quite Eye Opening, to say the least!
Also, since we are now moving into the Christmas season, and we have quite a few new folks who have joined the Group since last year, I thought I’d re-share the Vid I did last December: Where Lambs Are Born
It is quite illuminating as well, and I received quite a bit of complementary feedback on it… so even if you’ve heard it before, it might be worth a re-listen.
Also, consider sharing it with someone you know who hasn’t heard it.
It might give them a fresh and blessed new perspective on the main reason for the season…the Nativity!
Finally, if you’re up for it and feel led, consider a year-end donation to help the outreach of the GQG continue and grow!
Celebrating Milestone Anniversaries for the Two Most Significant Events in my Life–both of which occurred in this month of October. The First, many of you are probably aware of. The Second, most of you probably are not. Both of them are regarding Future Realities that will impact everyone who has ever walked this planet.
O that they were wise, that they understood this, that they would consider their latter end! –Deuteronomy 32:29
A comment re: The Reality of Growth
I wanted to comment directly to the video, but I do not have a YouTube account. Anyway, as usual I had a mixed bag of emotions, thoughts, convictions and so on as I listened and took in all that you said. I get excited when I listen to your truth perspective as I know it’s biblical and therefore I inspired by what God is doing in your life. I desire to know Him but also know that He has been calling me to do less of things, more of things and actually eradicate things in my life. All for my good. I can’t tell you how much I look fwd to and truly appreciate the wisdom and again, perspective you share in your videos. I feel honored when God gives me an opportunity to share w others all that HE is doing my life but mostly I love the intimacy that I can have with Him as I pursue Him and want He is desiring to show me and have me experience w Him by faith of course. Thank you for sharing your wisdom once again. I learn so much from you sharing your experiences w God and how He is growing you. It’s amazing! He is! –AM
Sharing a Pattern of Growth God uses to help gradually grow our connection with Him.
Ultimately, there is nothing more valuable!
Also a comment from my previous video, The Elliptical…
Thanks, Mark! I could really relate to this video and how I came to know Christ and God. Really appreciate you taking your time to share your thoughts on this topic. –TS
Sharing an event which helped open my mind to the opportunity and importance of developing an ever deepening relationship with God.
Some Feedback from two previous Videos:
(Re: Counterfeits)
MD – This reminds me of the many late nights the team sat in restaurants examining these Truths. “Study the authentic…” You should know that many minds were stretched, many hearts were changed and many lives were touched by your perspective on the ultimate reality and the great questions. My life is one. Thank you, sir. –TD
(Re: Origin of the World’s Religions)
Remarkably interesting… Being from Europe, I NEVER believed in the EU! To me, it was too naive to believe that they could copy what was done in the US. With Europe’s long history of wars and every country having its own culture, language (most of them), etc., I always believed they could never copy what had been done so successfully here, UNLESS, their entire underlying motive was pure deception, and this explanation has Satan’s fingerprints all over it. This certainly explains a lot about that! Well done, my friend! –MZ
Just watched the video on the origins of religions. Thank you for sharing that thought provoking learning session. When I learned that the word ‘religion’ wasn’t created by God it was so freeing because I had believed a lie for all of my life. Religion is man made and when I listened to the story of the Tower of Babel(which I mostly knew) and that there is only one human race, that was also freeing as you chose to break it down and expose the reality of it all. And then that building in France. Just wow! So much evil deceiving multitudes. Praise God that Jesus came, lived, sacrificed and died, and then rose so we can enjoy life everlasting with Him. Thanks again Mark! –AM
Here’s a new Video sharing a perspective that helped me make sense of all the various philosophies and religions found in the world.
And FYI, I have recently pointed the GreatQuestionsGroup.org and .com domains to the “About” page of this website.
This way, any first time visitors given either of those two addresses, will land directly on that page…which will provide them with an overview of the GQG first.
MarkDeMatteo.com still lands on the GQG Home Page.
Wishing America a Happy Birthday this coming weekend!
How we can tell what’s really Christian, from what pretends to be…and why the difference matters.
Another “walking” video I have produced for the Great Questions Group! 🙂
And for those of us here in the U.S., as we celebrate Memorial Day this weekend, let us be sure to remember with gratitude, all those brave folks in our Armed Forces who have paid the ultimate price over the years to protect and keep free, not only we in our beloved Land, but those in other Lands, too!
And while we’re reflecting on Sacrifice, let us also remember that Singular One paid for us by our Great God and Savior, Jesus Christ, to allow us the option of becoming truly free forever, by putting our trust in Him.
