YouTube Description
as posted by the channelAre you living to bring glory to your name, or to God's? Today I see more and more that people fall into the danger of seeing the church as a platform and Christianity as a means to grow their influence, brand, etc. and while it might not always be a conscious realization, it is a dangerous road to travel down as we seek the glory that God alone deserves. In this video we explore an incredibly powerful quote by Count Nikolaus von Zinzendorf who said "Preach the Gospel, die, and be forgotten." This quote, while it might not make you feel light and fluffy, should inspire you to examine your true motivations, and forces you to ask yourself, if no one took note of what I was doing for God, would I still do it?
About me:
Hey! My name is Austin, and I'm a 20 year old guy with a passion for people. I believe the good news is that God is better than we could've ever hoped, and I love sharing this message of grace and love with anyone that will listen. I'm the former Digital Marketing and Video Production Coordinator at a large, evangelical church in Frederick, MD, and I'm currently a student at Moody Bible Institute in Chicago, IL. When I'm not writing papers or making YouTube videos, I do freelance work as a Wedding Photographer/Videographer and social media consultant. On any given day you can find me with my nose in a book or a guitar in my hands. Want to get to know me more? Follow me and say hi on Instagram at: @austin.suggs
