This video was created to help believers in Christ think about the reality of the world around them. So often we get caught up with life and we forget to be concerned about what really matters. Many people are living and dying each day without Christ. Christ came to save the lost. He came that man could be connected again to God both now and in eternity. If we really believe this, then why are we not sharing with our loved ones? If this is true, then we need to be telling people...

We often hear the message of “God loves you” (and it’s true that God does love us) but we’re not really facing the issue that until we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, we're separated from God because of our sins.

I hope this video doesn’t come across as “fear mongering”. That wasn’t the intension. I just find that many believers, like myself, aren’t always thinking about what’s really important. The bible says that the gospel of Christ is “The Good News”… Are we sharing this “Good News” to those we say we love? What about those who we don’t love?

    Oooh so nice and thoughtful! I'm grateful for the vision of this video. Many people in Europe, especially in Germany are thinking that only Africa (or poor countries) needs the Gospel. But the spiritual state in Europe is very worrying. Thanks for making us think about this.

    Thanks for sharing it my Brother.

    I think that problem (inability to proclaim the Good News to others) is really an epidemic spiritual disease Christians have. This video helps provoke the minds and hearts of us who are staying in the comfort zone. Yes man, it's time we have to get off our butts and start getting things done. Whats more is people around us are now getting blinder and deafer. They cannot understand when we say God loves you, or something like Jesus had died for you, or you were separated from God because of your sins. Most people don't understand that. And that is a persistent dilemma even since the time of Jesus. Matthew 13:15 "For this people’s heart has grown dull, and with their ears they can barely hear, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears and understand with their heart and turn, and I would heal them.’" If that's the case that they do not understand a word coming from our mouths, then I think it's time for less talking and more doing. Matthew 5:16 "In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."

    Well, so much for that. The video was good bro. For the technical stuff, I like the sound effects, the voice over's voice fits nicely with the theme. The names on the water made in after effects was nicely done too. The only thing I can suggest that needs a bit of improvement is the font used in "On any given day, but today can be different, and so on" In my own opinion, it doesn't quite fit with the theme. But it's just my opinion haha. And also the picture/color grading starting in 00:58 is not quite consistent with the picture/color grading before that. Well, just a thought :) Creative criticism. We all need that. :)

    Thanks again for sharing this eye opening video. God bless you more and more.
    Let's keep up the good work God has entrusted us.
