Hey guys, this is Matt Powell.
I wanted to do a quick thank you video
to the people that are subscribed to my channel
and to those who have really shown in the comment section
that they are Christ-like
and they follow Jesus and his example.
You know, there were certain times
where Jesus had to drive people out of the temple with a whip
and preach hellfire and damnation.
But there were also times, the majority of the time,
where Jesus preached a very loving and powerful message.
And he was moved with compassion, the Bible says.
And you know, when unbelievers
come into the comment section
and they start spewing hatred,
it really says a lot about the people
that do these response videos to me
and send over these massive amounts of trolls
to come and mess with people that follow my content
or follow the message of the gospel.
And so I just wanna say thank you to all of you
that really have responded back in kindness
and in love to people,
because really people don't really care about what you know
until they know how much you care.
And as Christians, I think we need to be defined by love
and by caring for people, not just by knowledge,
not by knowing all the facts.
It's a real encouragement to see people
that are subscribed and that love the Lord.
They respond back in kindness when they're insulted.
And no matter how stupid the claim
that some of these trolls will make about God
or the blanket statements that we all hear all the time,
it's really refreshing to see people respond
in Christ's love
and simply just link the scientific papers in,
cause of course the facts are on our side every single time.
You know, and so it's just neat to see my listeners
link scientific papers in everywhere.
And it's interesting to see how the trolls of this world,
they just like to spew ad hominem attacks.
I mean, if you go through my comment section,
all you're pretty much gonna see is ad hominems.
They don't make actual arguments.
They just make assertions that I'm crazy
or that I'm bonkers.
And so I just think it's really awesome that, you know,
there's those of you out there
who want your communication to be with grace.
The Bible says, let your communication
be all way with grace, seasoned with salt.
And so that we may know how we ought to answer every man.
And so I'm just thankful for people
that want to love the lost and, you know, have compassion.
The Bible says some having compassion, making a difference.
So when you have compassion,
when you respond in love and in kindness,
that's gonna make a difference in people's lives.
They may be hateful.
They may be angry towards you.
They may make very, very nasty comments towards you
or towards myself, but that's fine.
You know, the thing is they did way worse things to Christ.
What they've done to us is really nothing
compared to what they did to the Lord Jesus Christ
when the unbelievers took and nailed him to the cross.
And so I just wanted to do this quick thank you video
to everybody that's subscribed
and to everybody that has responded
in Christ-like character.
It's been really an encouragement
to just see the Christ-like character
from people that are subscribed
and that love the Lord Jesus Christ.
