Rob Bell inspired: Love Wins Graduation Speech



Uploaded by: lillylars
Video Description:
Video edited for web by VintageStorybooks.com
Lakeview High School Graduation 2006 **Disclaimer** I want to give the credit that is due to the man who coined this phrase, gave this "very old concept" new and modern life, and who provided me 80% of the material for the speech itself. Although I have put my stint on it, the idea, concept, and m
uch of the phrasing belongs to Rob Bell of Grand Rapids, MI...Teacher, Author, Speaker, and fellow "Brother." The message of Love Wins has so amazingly affected my life that I knew in an instant what I wanted to speak on for 2006 Graduation. Jesus showed it to be true...and many people through hist
ory have helped prove it...they have walked that tough path...and in the end...Love Wins...ALWAYS. Thanks again, Rob, for your teachings and thank you for letting me "borrow" the concept for the day. You said once in a teaching that our stories are each others...well, thanks again for your story. It
has become an integral part of my life and my own teaching...and it is affecting the way Lakeview High School students live their lives. - Lane Gordon www.lillydrive.com

sounds exactly like Rob Bell's sermon... almost at times word for word. But his sermon "love wins" was one of the greatest sermons of all time. Obviously this guy agreed too.

Good stuff. With Rob you can't go wrong!
actually the first ... ( 9 months ago by lillylars)
actually the first quarter of it came from chapter 9 of To Kill A Mockingbird. I heard Rob's message while I was teaching TKAMB and it was amazing how it blended right in. So when it came time to write this speech I started with that and with what I had spoken to my kids, and then absolutely borrowed from Rob (and I give him credit in the comments of the speech). It is so cool to be part of a powerful idea that has existed for so long and is SO true.

'A bunch of ... ( 2 months ago by BrightSeraphim85)
'A bunch of nonsense'? Isn't 'sense' what we make of it as humanity? Is a world where love does not win the one you want to live in? The 'sense' in which we live is your choice - your and ours as humanity. If people choose it to be nonsense, then it will be. If we choose it to be senseful, than it will be that as well. Is the world in which you want to live one where it is nonsense?
He puts Jesus in ... ( 2 months ago by isaac407)
He puts Jesus in the same category as the rest: NONSENSE!They did not overcome the world,JESUS did! He was not on a mission to do right,He came to save you and I!God created and it is still under the control of the universe,not us.We do not love others because they are human beings;we do because the bible says so.Next non sense is that people don't need to be judged but loved.Before you say the bible says we are not supposed to, read John 7:24. "love wins" is nothing but a clich
é.lacks substance
And -why- does the ... ( 2 months ago by BrightSeraphim85)
And -why- does the bible say that? Because of the rational understatement that human beings hold intrinsic worth in and of themselves. There is logic to the statement beyond 'because the bible says so', which is irrational in and of itself. And I say this as a passionate follower of Christ. And yes, g-d is in control of the universe. But we still have the capacity to decide what is sensible. We have control over our own intellect and rationality.

Oh - and one more ... ( 2 months ago by BrightSeraphim85)
Oh - and one more thing. Yes. He put Jesus in the context of the rest - because they accomplished some similar achievements. Did Martin Luther King die for the sins of mankind? No - but he did die for an incredible cause. Just because a man is not Jesus does not mean he is not worthy of recognition as a great man. Use some logic and reason before making such statements. That is why g-d gave us that ability.
This speech is so ... ( 2 months ago by TreeHugger565)
This speech is so amazing!! not only did it prompt me to take on the concept of love wins myself but it also lead me to Rob Bell (who I think we can all agree is pretty dang awesome)
Anyways thanks so much for this speech and I pray it can continue to inspire people
God Bless
