Hello and welcome to 3ABN
to our Spring Camp Meeting.
00:00:38.82\00:00:42.08
We all having a
good time here, folks?
00:00:42.18\00:00:43.82
Amen! Amen. Do you hear that?
00:00:43.85\00:00:45.74
We have folks from many
states around the country
00:00:45.84\00:00:48.35
and many - literally -
countries around the world
00:00:48.45\00:00:51.40
are represented here.
We're glad that you're all here
00:00:51.70\00:00:53.98
and those of you at
home: thank you for joining us
00:00:54.08\00:00:56.30
as you do each and every day.
00:00:56.50\00:00:57.96
I wanted to introduce some
special guests, 'cause we don't
00:00:58.26\00:01:00.94
get together very often.
00:01:01.04\00:01:02.35
But these young ladies
are my three... we say aunts.
00:01:02.55\00:01:06.97
Some people say aunts,
so depending how you want
00:01:07.18\00:01:09.42
to say it... my dad's
sisters, three of them.
00:01:09.53\00:01:12.29
There was 13 in the family,
00:01:12.49\00:01:14.05
and these are my only three
aunts that are still with us.
00:01:14.25\00:01:18.14
And I have an Uncle
Bud who is still around
00:01:18.34\00:01:20.69
and so our family has
dwindled down, hasn't it?
00:01:20.89\00:01:22.97
But when we get to heaven
we'll all be back together,
00:01:23.37\00:01:26.38
right? Amen!
They're a bunch of Sheltons.
00:01:26.48\00:01:28.67
So over here this young
woman many of you know her
00:01:28.87\00:01:33.54
but you didn't know
her. This is Hayley Kaye.
00:01:33.74\00:01:35.89
You've seen her grow up on
television, but now she just
00:01:35.99\00:01:38.29
got married a month ago.
Hi Hayley Kaye. Yeah, hi!
00:01:38.39\00:01:40.91
All right. We're glad
you're here. I love you, honey.
00:01:41.21\00:01:43.15
I love you too. You
still Papa's girl? Absolutely.
00:01:43.35\00:01:46.36
Oh, all right. I
pay her to say that
00:01:46.46\00:01:47.88
but it still sounds good.
00:01:47.98\00:01:49.64
No I don't. She's wonderful.
00:01:49.94\00:01:51.37
I have with me Aunt Dolly.
00:01:51.57\00:01:54.11
And Aunt Dolly she
doesn't mind me telling you
00:01:54.41\00:01:56.69
is 87 years young.
How 'bout that? All right!
00:01:56.79\00:02:00.12
All right. Good healthy
Christian livin' - that's what
00:02:00.42\00:02:04.52
that's all about. That's
right! My Aunt Laura, she would
00:02:04.62\00:02:06.99
shoot me if I told
you how old she was.
00:02:07.09\00:02:09.33
Where you from, Aunt Laura?
I'm from Gatlinburg, Tennessee,
00:02:09.73\00:02:12.79
or that area. Yeah. Aunt
Dolly says you can tell her age.
00:02:13.00\00:02:17.31
No, Aunt Laura
would be like Del Delker.
00:02:17.61\00:02:19.99
You ask Del Delker:
"Del, how old are you? "
00:02:20.29\00:02:23.22
She says: "Well I can tell
you but I'll have to kill you. "
00:02:23.42\00:02:25.75
You figure that one out.
00:02:27.76\00:02:28.94
You're not going to
tell it around, right?
00:02:29.04\00:02:30.89
You got a mike for Aunt Ruby?
00:02:31.29\00:02:33.53
Aunt Ruby, how... Oh
no, I won't ask your age.
00:02:34.03\00:02:36.35
Where are you from?
West Frankfort just outside
00:02:36.55\00:02:39.36
Thompsonville. That's right.
00:02:39.46\00:02:40.59
And who's that
standing next to you?
00:02:40.69\00:02:42.29
That's my husband Clinton.
00:02:42.49\00:02:43.78
And he won't let me have a
mike. I don't understand it.
00:02:43.88\00:02:47.95
I mean, I don't say anything
but nice things about him.
00:02:48.15\00:02:51.24
Cowboy Clinton... please
get that mike away from him
00:02:51.38\00:02:54.61
'cause he knows a story on
me that just happened last week.
00:02:55.01\00:02:57.72
I didn't want him to tell
the whole world that I got lost.
00:02:57.75\00:03:00.26
All right. Well,
misplaced for a while on a ride.
00:03:00.46\00:03:02.33
He's a cowboy. We
went riding, and so somehow
00:03:02.53\00:03:05.27
I took a wrong turn looking
for a trail, and it took us
00:03:05.37\00:03:08.78
a little while. So he said:
"That sure was a long ride! "
00:03:08.88\00:03:11.30
But most of it was in the truck.
00:03:11.50\00:03:13.33
So... rather than on the horses.
00:03:13.54\00:03:15.72
But these two were
boyfriend and girlfriend
00:03:15.92\00:03:19.85
when they were teenagers here
in West Frankfort, Illinois.
00:03:20.05\00:03:22.41
They went their separate
ways... remarried, had families,
00:03:22.71\00:03:25.99
and 50 years later
their spouses had died
00:03:26.12\00:03:28.33
and over 50 years
later they got back together
00:03:28.43\00:03:30.82
and only recently,
last... what, three years or so?
00:03:31.02\00:03:33.61
have married. And
they're happily now living.
00:03:33.91\00:03:36.86
From boyfriend to
girlfriend 50 years later
00:03:37.06\00:03:39.63
they said: "You know
what? We still love each other.
00:03:39.83\00:03:41.85
We're gonna get married. "
00:03:42.05\00:03:43.38
And so they are. So
thank you all for being here.
00:03:43.58\00:03:47.91
Dr. Gilley. Well
this is just... to me...
00:03:48.31\00:03:51.79
I was telling Danny: "We
have to have them up here"
00:03:51.89\00:03:53.92
because it is an amazing
thing, Danny, to have 13 members
00:03:54.12\00:03:59.20
of a family and four are still
living after these many years.
00:03:59.31\00:04:03.18
You lost one in
the service, I think.
00:04:03.38\00:04:05.69
And we're going to be talking...
Sabbath afternoon we're going to
00:04:05.99\00:04:09.50
be honoring our
servicemen here. Absolutely.
00:04:09.60\00:04:12.88
And, you know,
America's a great country.
00:04:12.98\00:04:15.64
We're going to talk about
some of the wonderful things
00:04:15.84\00:04:18.37
that God has done for this
country and enabled this country
00:04:18.57\00:04:22.97
to do around the world.
00:04:23.17\00:04:24.89
And we're going to
recognize some of those
00:04:25.09\00:04:26.95
and challenge the
people of our nation
00:04:27.15\00:04:30.21
to once again go
forward strong with the gospel
00:04:30.41\00:04:34.25
of Jesus Christ. So
you be sure to remember
00:04:34.45\00:04:37.67
that we're going to be
talking about being one.
00:04:37.87\00:04:40.18
We're one with each
other, one with the Lord,
00:04:40.38\00:04:42.59
and one with the world
in presenting the gospel
00:04:42.89\00:04:46.38
of Jesus. All right,
thank you aunts and uncles.
00:04:46.48\00:04:48.94
Appreciate you; love you
all. Thanks for coming out.
00:04:49.14\00:04:51.16
All right. Hayley Kaye,
love you too, honey. Bye-bye.
00:04:51.46\00:04:54.52
All right. Jim Gilley
said "We've got to get them...
00:04:54.92\00:04:59.08
we've got to get them on stage.
00:04:59.18\00:05:00.69
It's my privilege to
introduce Brother Tim.
00:05:00.89\00:05:02.88
Tim, we haven't seen
you in a while. You're busy.
00:05:03.08\00:05:04.69
I know you're traveling...
doing a lot of work.
00:05:04.89\00:05:06.34
We have a brand new piano
and this is your first time to
00:05:06.64\00:05:09.26
play it, right? I
love it; it's great!
00:05:09.36\00:05:11.38
So how many of you have
ever seen or heard Tim Parton
00:05:11.48\00:05:13.89
play before? All right.
00:05:14.10\00:05:15.38
All right. See all
those hands went up there?
00:05:15.58\00:05:17.40
For those of you that haven't,
Tim is an incredible talent.
00:05:17.60\00:05:21.53
But he loves the Lord,
and he's worked with 3ABN.
00:05:21.73\00:05:24.28
The Pillars Hymns... if you
have The Pillars Hymns album,
00:05:24.38\00:05:26.77
Tim arranged it,
put it all together,
00:05:26.90\00:05:28.80
is playing it. Worked
with Chris Wilkinson on the
00:05:28.91\00:05:32.95
orchestra, the strings. And
it's just an incredible project.
00:05:33.09\00:05:35.78
What are you going
to do for us tonight?
00:05:35.98\00:05:37.33
You're going to do a
song or two, right? Yes.
00:05:37.53\00:05:39.30
All right. It has been a while
and one thing I have missed
00:05:39.41\00:05:42.28
since I've been away
is your beautiful voice.
00:05:42.38\00:05:45.43
Oh no, no. He'll
say that if you pay him.
00:05:45.53\00:05:47.68
No... no I mean it. I
love to hear Danny sing.
00:05:47.89\00:05:51.10
And so I'm going to
ask you just to wait
00:05:51.30\00:05:54.18
till I point to you, OK?
00:05:54.38\00:05:56.38
What are we singing?
You're going to surprise me?
00:05:56.78\00:05:59.07
You'll recognize it. OK.
00:05:59.27\00:06:00.67
Turn... turn your eyes
00:06:51.27\00:06:55.30
upon Jesus,
00:06:55.60\00:06:59.18
Look full in
00:07:00.77\00:07:02.96
His wonderful face.
00:07:03.36\00:07:09.22
And the things of this old earth
00:07:09.62\00:07:15.10
will grow
strangely... strangely dim
00:07:15.50\00:07:20.43
in the light
00:07:20.83\00:07:23.09
of His glory
00:07:23.29\00:07:26.25
and grace. Sing with us too:
00:07:26.45\00:07:31.23
Turn your eyes
00:07:31.53\00:07:35.17
upon Jesus,
00:07:35.37\00:07:40.27
Look full in His wonderful
00:07:40.47\00:07:46.08
face.
00:07:46.28\00:07:49.31
And the things of earth
00:07:50.10\00:07:54.58
will grow strangely dim
00:07:55.09\00:08:01.01
in the light
00:08:01.79\00:08:04.48
of His glory
00:08:04.68\00:08:08.40
and grace. Amen!
00:08:08.60\00:08:13.69
Minister to us. Amen.
00:08:13.99\00:08:15.36
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
00:08:15.76\00:08:17.67
If I had one word of advice
00:08:17.87\00:08:20.24
for anybody that would be it.
00:08:20.45\00:08:23.35
Turn your eyes upon Him.
00:08:24.60\00:08:26.72
You know, there have
been situations in my life
00:08:27.22\00:08:30.45
in the past few years
that I have wondered why.
00:08:30.65\00:08:34.81
Why would God make us go
through things like that?
00:08:35.21\00:08:39.52
I'm sure you have
things in your life
00:08:39.82\00:08:41.62
that you may ask the same thing.
00:08:42.03\00:08:45.54
I was in northern
California a while back
00:08:45.84\00:08:49.65
and I had just gotten an
e-mail. I had read this e-mail
00:08:49.85\00:08:54.02
and the minute I read it I
knew... well I just regretted
00:08:54.42\00:08:59.92
reading it. And I checked
00:09:00.32\00:09:06.03
into the hotel room there
and I threw myself on the bed
00:09:06.13\00:09:09.16
and I was just so
frustrated with the situation.
00:09:09.36\00:09:12.37
It just like rubbed
salt into the wound.
00:09:12.47\00:09:14.95
And I laid there
for a few minutes
00:09:17.16\00:09:18.79
and maybe had a little pity
party... you know, like we do.
00:09:18.99\00:09:22.16
Then I remembered
that I have a friend
00:09:22.46\00:09:24.56
right there in
northern California.
00:09:25.26\00:09:28.29
Now I'm from Missouri.
I've lived the past 20 years
00:09:28.49\00:09:31.47
in Tennessee. But
there in northern California
00:09:31.68\00:09:37.59
there was a friend.
00:09:37.89\00:09:39.43
So I sat up on the bed and
00:09:40.87\00:09:44.14
next to the bed
was a nightstand.
00:09:44.34\00:09:47.61
I opened the drawer
and there was my friend.
00:09:49.59\00:09:54.00
Thank God for the Gideons, Amen?
00:09:54.40\00:09:59.33
So I opened the Bible. I
just kind of let it fall open
00:10:00.84\00:10:04.10
on my lap.
00:10:04.20\00:10:05.73
And it opened to a
scripture in Isaiah.
00:10:07.71\00:10:11.75
Now sad to say, I'm
not a scholar of Isaiah,
00:10:12.05\00:10:17.63
but I knew exactly what he meant
00:10:20.29\00:10:23.96
when all of those
hundreds of years ago he wrote
00:10:25.64\00:10:28.58
in chapter 26 verse 3
00:10:28.78\00:10:31.95
"Thou wilt keep
him in perfect peace
00:10:32.36\00:10:36.52
whose mind is stayed on Thee
00:10:36.82\00:10:39.34
because he trusteth in Thee. "
00:10:39.54\00:10:42.72
Amen? So that evening...
00:10:43.12\00:10:45.61
I was in town for a
concert, so that evening
00:10:45.91\00:10:50.36
I went to the church and
I stepped inside the doors
00:10:50.56\00:10:54.51
of the church, and they
had beautiful scriptures
00:10:54.61\00:10:58.34
framed on the walls. The
first scripture that I saw
00:10:58.54\00:11:04.02
you will never
guess what it said.
00:11:04.22\00:11:06.78
Isaiah 26 verse 3.
00:11:08.35\00:11:11.20
Now you may think that God
doesn't talk to us any more...
00:11:12.75\00:11:16.53
I disagree.
00:11:17.64\00:11:19.28
He will keep
you in perfect peace
00:11:21.01\00:11:23.44
if you will
keep your mind on Him
00:11:24.77\00:11:26.97
and trust in Him.
00:11:27.97\00:11:29.47
So now I have this song to sing:
00:11:31.02\00:11:33.44
Before this
trial is finally past.
00:11:33.64\00:11:38.19
Before the hurt is gone.
00:11:40.72\00:11:44.47
Before the pain subsides at last
00:11:46.36\00:11:50.76
and once again I'm strong.
00:11:53.38\00:11:57.86
Thank you now
00:12:00.75\00:12:04.92
for the mercy that I
know will see me through.
00:12:06.25\00:12:12.15
Thank you now
00:12:14.51\00:12:17.67
for the grace
00:12:18.67\00:12:20.73
that can only come from You.
00:12:21.03\00:12:26.99
Though I can't
see the reason why
00:12:29.22\00:12:34.70
or understand just how
00:12:36.20\00:12:41.76
Lord, I know You're faithful
00:12:43.30\00:12:48.23
so thank you now.
00:12:49.84\00:12:55.38
Whatever you're facing tonight
00:12:56.28\00:12:58.58
just thank Him through it.
00:12:58.88\00:13:01.04
For Lord, so many
times You've proved
00:13:02.12\00:13:06.54
just how good You are to me.
00:13:08.64\00:13:14.19
And so before
this mountain moves -
00:13:15.05\00:13:19.54
and I know it will -
00:13:19.94\00:13:21.76
my song to You will be:
00:13:21.96\00:13:27.87
Thank you now
00:13:29.49\00:13:33.79
for the mercy
00:13:34.69\00:13:36.60
that I know will see me through.
00:13:36.80\00:13:42.00
Thank you now
00:13:43.31\00:13:46.77
for the grace
00:13:47.27\00:13:49.32
that can only come from You.
00:13:49.52\00:13:55.44
Though I can't
see the reason why
00:13:57.05\00:14:02.41
or understand just how
00:14:03.50\00:14:08.57
Lord, I know You're faithful
00:14:10.20\00:14:15.71
so thank you now.
00:14:15.91\00:14:21.44
Though I can't
see the reason why
00:14:22.59\00:14:27.88
or understand just how
00:14:29.51\00:14:35.19
Lord, I know
00:14:36.30\00:14:40.04
You're faithful
00:14:40.19\00:14:43.02
so thank you now.
00:14:44.73\00:14:50.70
Amen. Amen!
00:14:55.49\00:14:56.52
Stay seated just a moment.
00:14:57.02\00:14:59.51
I'm going to ask Reggie and
Ladye Love Smith to come out.
00:14:59.81\00:15:02.53
And also Jason Bradley's
here. I want Jason to come out.
00:15:03.03\00:15:06.86
And Ms. Yvonne Lewis.
We want you to come on out.
00:15:07.36\00:15:12.06
I think Bret's with
you. Come on out, Bret.
00:15:12.46\00:15:15.11
Reggie and Ladye
Love... Ladye Love.
00:15:15.91\00:15:19.99
There she comes and Bret.
00:15:20.29\00:15:23.49
Yvonne Lewis, Tim.
Ready? We have two birthdays.
00:15:23.79\00:15:27.51
Ladye Love's birthday's
today at 3ABN Camp Meeting.
00:15:27.61\00:15:30.55
Jason... Jason is
Yvonne's youngest son,
00:15:33.88\00:15:37.12
and it's his birthday today.
00:15:37.22\00:15:39.24
So we're going to do happy...
Same age... Same ha ha ha ha...
00:15:39.44\00:15:42.47
No comment, all right?
00:15:43.07\00:15:45.75
Listen here: we're going to do
a little happy birthday for them
00:15:45.98\00:15:48.83
and we'll say Happy Birthday
Ladye and Jason all at once.
00:15:49.23\00:15:52.30
Ready? You got
us in the key, Tim?
00:15:52.50\00:15:54.28
Happy birthday to you,
00:15:54.48\00:15:58.55
happy birthday to you,
00:15:58.85\00:16:02.62
happy birthday
dear Ladye and Jason,
00:16:02.92\00:16:08.33
happy birthday to you!
00:16:09.03\00:16:15.02
All right. Thank you so much.
00:16:20.16\00:16:22.21
We love both of you.
Reggie and Layde, stay out here.
00:16:22.51\00:16:24.82
Jason, I got you for a minute.
Jason is now working with his
00:16:25.02\00:16:28.08
mother on Dare to Dream
with the Dare to Dream Network.
00:16:28.18\00:16:30.89
Jason, we're glad you're
here, buddy. Happy to be here.
00:16:31.19\00:16:33.46
And we appreciate what
you do for the cause of God.
00:16:33.86\00:16:36.24
It's a blessing. You
love Dare to Dream, right?
00:16:36.44\00:16:38.51
Love it. All right!
So Jason is going around.
00:16:38.71\00:16:41.60
He's going to be
getting Dare to Dream on cable
00:16:41.80\00:16:43.67
and he's working in production
organizing, getting programs
00:16:43.87\00:16:47.52
together... so a great asset.
00:16:47.62\00:16:49.48
Your mother loves
you and appreciates you.
00:16:49.69\00:16:51.28
And she can remember better
than you can what happened
00:16:51.69\00:16:54.58
28 years ago today,
right? She probably...
00:16:54.68\00:16:57.82
Thank you, Yvonne.
00:16:58.22\00:16:59.89
OK, all right.
Ladies and gentlemen,
00:17:00.19\00:17:03.38
brothers and sisters, it's
my great privilege to introduce
00:17:03.48\00:17:06.56
Reggie and Ladye Love
Smith. And we've got Bret.
00:17:06.77\00:17:08.98
He'll be coming
out in a few minutes.
00:17:09.09\00:17:10.81
And I don't
know... Are you guys?
00:17:11.01\00:17:13.06
We're just going to turn
the time over to you for a bit?
00:17:13.46\00:17:15.71
So if you want to work with Tim?
Well Tim is here, and I just
00:17:15.91\00:17:19.16
thought we just have
to do something together.
00:17:19.26\00:17:21.52
I love people who can do
stuff on the spur, right?
00:17:21.72\00:17:23.75
I know they haven't
practiced this, all right?
00:17:24.06\00:17:26.23
So good... all right...
bless us with your music
00:17:26.43\00:17:28.84
and just as long as the Lord
impresses you minister to us.
00:17:29.14\00:17:32.51
Softly and tenderly
00:17:34.50\00:17:39.72
Jesus is calling,
00:17:40.12\00:17:44.40
Calling for you
00:17:45.47\00:17:49.67
and for me;
00:17:49.70\00:17:54.09
And see on the portals
00:17:55.27\00:18:00.58
He's waiting and watching,
00:18:00.88\00:18:06.15
Calling, "O sinner,
00:18:06.99\00:18:12.16
come home. " Sing it with us.
00:18:12.56\00:18:16.75
Come home,
00:18:17.86\00:18:22.42
come home,
00:18:22.82\00:18:28.06
Ye who are weary,
00:18:28.46\00:18:32.89
come home;
00:18:33.19\00:18:39.11
Earnestly, tenderly,
00:18:40.09\00:18:45.36
Jesus is calling,
00:18:45.76\00:18:50.81
Calling, "O sinner,
00:18:51.34\00:18:57.25
come
00:18:58.04\00:19:01.47
home. "
00:19:01.77\00:19:06.46
Hallelujah!
00:19:14.24\00:19:16.14
Thank you Tim.
00:19:17.54\00:19:18.97
Suspended above
00:19:39.55\00:19:43.33
the world that He made
00:19:43.73\00:19:47.24
and below
00:19:47.54\00:19:49.07
His home in the sky
00:19:49.27\00:19:55.25
God in flesh
00:19:55.66\00:19:57.76
came down to man
00:19:58.83\00:20:02.15
and man raised Him up to die.
00:20:03.23\00:20:09.16
And there on the tree
00:20:10.51\00:20:13.93
the destiny
00:20:14.33\00:20:17.35
of every fallen man
00:20:17.75\00:20:23.52
was held by the nails
00:20:25.31\00:20:28.28
driven through
00:20:29.38\00:20:31.68
His sinless feet
00:20:32.64\00:20:36.73
and hands.
00:20:36.83\00:20:40.17
Somewhere between
00:20:40.68\00:20:44.08
heaven and earth
00:20:44.48\00:20:47.28
stood a symbol of grace
00:20:47.58\00:20:50.73
not based on our worth.
00:20:50.93\00:20:54.84
It was there He endured
00:20:55.14\00:20:58.71
what we deserve...
00:20:58.81\00:21:03.37
for the cross held
the hope of the world
00:21:03.67\00:21:09.00
somewhere between
00:21:09.40\00:21:11.93
heaven and earth.
00:21:12.13\00:21:17.62
Somewhere
00:21:17.82\00:21:19.26
between time and space;
00:21:19.46\00:21:25.13
Somewhere
00:21:25.23\00:21:26.63
between judgment and grace.
00:21:26.83\00:21:31.44
He became the sin
00:21:31.74\00:21:35.50
He'd never known.
00:21:35.60\00:21:40.18
And as the skies turned black
00:21:40.38\00:21:42.93
His Father turned His back
00:21:43.33\00:21:47.00
and for that moment
00:21:47.20\00:21:49.90
He was left alone...
00:21:50.10\00:21:54.35
He was left alone.
00:21:54.55\00:22:00.02
Somewhere between
00:22:00.22\00:22:03.33
heaven and earth
00:22:03.63\00:22:06.64
stood a symbol of grace
00:22:06.94\00:22:09.89
not based on our worth.
00:22:10.19\00:22:14.14
It was there He endured
00:22:14.54\00:22:17.95
what we deserve
00:22:18.25\00:22:22.53
for the cross held
the hope of the world
00:22:22.73\00:22:27.80
somewhere between
00:22:28.54\00:22:31.32
heaven and earth.
00:22:31.53\00:22:37.04
Stood a symbol of grace
00:22:40.55\00:22:43.60
not based on our worth.
00:22:43.90\00:22:47.83
It was there He endured
00:22:47.96\00:22:51.60
what we deserve
00:22:51.90\00:22:56.31
for a cross held
the hope of the world...
00:22:56.61\00:23:01.92
Yes, the cross held the hope
00:23:02.75\00:23:06.31
of the world...
00:23:06.61\00:23:09.47
Yes, the cross held the hope
00:23:09.57\00:23:13.22
of the world
00:23:13.52\00:23:18.63
somewhere... somewhere
00:23:18.93\00:23:22.42
between
00:23:22.52\00:23:23.96
heaven
00:23:24.26\00:23:29.16
and earth.
00:23:29.47\00:23:34.96
Suspended above
00:23:35.26\00:23:38.43
the world that He made
00:23:38.93\00:23:43.03
and below
00:23:43.33\00:23:45.36
His home
00:23:45.56\00:23:47.16
in the sky...
00:23:47.47\00:23:53.44
Amen!
00:24:00.18\00:24:01.73
We're so blessed to be with you
00:24:05.31\00:24:06.94
the second
night of Camp Meeting.
00:24:07.04\00:24:08.42
Are you glad
you're here tonight? Amen!
00:24:08.62\00:24:10.54
It's going to be an
incredible, incredible night.
00:24:10.84\00:24:12.74
It does not matter
00:24:20.86\00:24:24.36
where you started.
00:24:24.77\00:24:28.24
But friend, it matters
00:24:28.74\00:24:32.64
where you end.
00:24:33.05\00:24:36.14
We're all walking
00:24:36.95\00:24:40.91
toward forever
00:24:41.11\00:24:44.34
and there's only one road
00:24:44.84\00:24:48.74
that leads to Him.
00:24:48.84\00:24:51.70
The way is straight,
00:24:52.87\00:24:56.61
the path is narrow,
00:24:57.01\00:25:00.75
and though sometimes
00:25:01.05\00:25:03.83
it seems we walk alone,
00:25:04.03\00:25:08.04
but an unseen hand
00:25:08.44\00:25:12.37
is there to lead us.
00:25:12.67\00:25:16.40
Just follow Jesus...
00:25:16.80\00:25:20.34
He knows the way home.
00:25:20.74\00:25:25.07
He never said
00:25:32.43\00:25:36.00
we would not suffer.
00:25:36.40\00:25:40.12
And He never said
00:25:40.52\00:25:44.06
that we'd fail no more.
00:25:44.36\00:25:48.44
He never said
00:25:48.85\00:25:52.47
we're spared the battle.
00:25:52.77\00:25:56.36
But He said He's already
00:25:56.97\00:26:01.05
won the war.
00:26:01.25\00:26:04.67
The way is straight,
00:26:05.07\00:26:08.65
the path is narrow,
00:26:08.95\00:26:12.87
and though sometimes
00:26:13.17\00:26:15.78
it seems we walk alone,
00:26:16.08\00:26:20.28
but an unseen hand
00:26:20.48\00:26:24.17
is there to lead us.
00:26:24.57\00:26:28.37
Just follow Jesus...
00:26:28.77\00:26:32.41
He knows the way home.
00:26:32.81\00:26:36.48
The way is straight,
00:26:36.78\00:26:40.52
the path is narrow,
00:26:40.83\00:26:44.71
and though sometimes
00:26:45.02\00:26:47.78
it seems we walk alone,
00:26:47.98\00:26:52.10
but an unseen hand
00:26:52.50\00:26:56.17
is there to lead us.
00:26:56.57\00:27:00.43
Just follow Jesus...
00:27:00.63\00:27:04.34
He knows the way home...
00:27:04.75\00:27:08.45
Just follow Jesus...
00:27:08.75\00:27:13.48
He knows the way
00:27:15.02\00:27:18.27
home.
00:27:18.67\00:27:24.64
Amen!
00:27:24.94\00:27:26.25
Thank you so much.
00:27:28.97\00:27:30.07
We about a year ago or
maybe a little over a year ago
00:27:30.17\00:27:32.38
were afforded the
opportunity to do a live concert
00:27:32.58\00:27:35.55
right here at 3ABN
right here on this stage.
00:27:35.65\00:27:38.27
And the title of the DVD
was called Thank You Lord.
00:27:38.77\00:27:43.33
It's a little song that we wrote
00:27:43.53\00:27:44.83
that our 11-year-old
son sings the lead on.
00:27:45.03\00:27:47.87
And if it'd be OK with you
guys, we'd love to bring him out
00:27:48.37\00:27:51.25
and sing the lead on this song.
00:27:51.45\00:27:54.17
I'd like to just say a
little bit about the song.
00:27:54.47\00:27:56.68
Here's Bret.
00:27:57.08\00:27:58.54
Say hay everybody. Hay.
00:28:00.87\00:28:02.95
This song... We wrote
this song because at night
00:28:04.32\00:28:07.21
we would say our prayers and we
would say: "OK, let's think of
00:28:07.41\00:28:10.50
three things we're
thankful for or grateful for. "
00:28:10.70\00:28:13.71
And I just started thinking:
you know, there's so many things
00:28:13.91\00:28:16.02
that are going on in the
world that are tough right now
00:28:16.12\00:28:18.30
for so many people, right?
00:28:18.40\00:28:20.01
We have so many things,
and so many times in my life
00:28:20.41\00:28:23.16
I'll think: "Ah, the
car didn't start today. "
00:28:23.36\00:28:25.36
You know, but I
forget that I have a car.
00:28:25.66\00:28:27.61
You know, and I started
trying to think what can I
00:28:27.91\00:28:29.80
look in my life. There are
things that we're all lacking
00:28:29.90\00:28:32.08
or things that are hard or
tough trials that we're going
00:28:32.38\00:28:34.82
through right
now. I know you are.
00:28:34.92\00:28:36.72
Maybe some of you out
there are going through really
00:28:37.02\00:28:39.08
hard hard times. But we wanted
to teach him gratefulness.
00:28:39.38\00:28:42.30
We wanted to say: "What can
we be thankful for tonight? "
00:28:42.50\00:28:44.97
"What could we tell God
we're so thankful for? "
00:28:45.27\00:28:47.46
And that's how this song
came about: Thank you, Lord.
00:28:47.66\00:28:49.76
Hearing you say that
I have to tell you that
00:28:49.86\00:28:51.13
you know a lot of times
when mom is in a studio session
00:28:51.33\00:28:54.34
or something, I'm putting him to
bed. He'll say something like:
00:28:54.44\00:28:57.02
"What are we
grateful for, thankful for? "
00:28:57.32\00:28:58.92
And he will always... of
course, number one is mom.
00:28:59.12\00:29:02.87
Mama. Always number one,
right ladies? Not lately.
00:29:03.37\00:29:07.30
Amen? Amen! Number two
is... It's a cross between
00:29:07.50\00:29:12.83
grandmother and
papa or Beauty our dog.
00:29:12.93\00:29:15.04
And number three could be a
number of things which usually
00:29:17.92\00:29:20.54
is not daddy included.
00:29:20.64\00:29:21.90
I don't know. It's
becoming daddy a lot lately.
00:29:22.00\00:29:23.74
This age is
looking more about daddy.
00:29:23.85\00:29:25.52
But this is a great song,
and I just think we call can be
00:29:25.82\00:29:28.36
thankful for something.
And I think you will know this.
00:29:28.46\00:29:30.24
Very simple. By the end of
it you can sing along with us.
00:29:30.44\00:29:32.60
It goes like this:
00:29:32.70\00:29:34.11
For all the countless ways
00:29:49.80\00:29:53.04
You have blessed me all my days,
00:29:53.34\00:29:56.85
Father, let me pause to say
00:29:57.25\00:30:00.52
I give You thanks.
00:30:00.82\00:30:04.05
For the life You've given me,
00:30:04.55\00:30:08.00
for my friends, my family,
00:30:08.40\00:30:12.32
for every wonder I have seen
00:30:12.62\00:30:15.73
I give You thanks...
00:30:16.03\00:30:18.93
I give You thanks.
00:30:19.23\00:30:23.76
Thank you, Lord.
00:30:24.16\00:30:29.93
Thank you, Lord.
00:30:31.81\00:30:37.49
For all You've
00:30:38.90\00:30:42.86
done for me
00:30:43.16\00:30:46.20
I thank you, Lord.
00:30:46.60\00:30:52.19
Amen!
00:30:52.59\00:30:54.66
For Your guidance
through the years,
00:31:09.55\00:31:13.14
for Your
presence through my fears,
00:31:13.54\00:31:16.87
for all the joys
and, yes, the tears
00:31:17.17\00:31:20.56
I give You thanks.
00:31:20.87\00:31:23.52
For the
faithfulness You've shown
00:31:24.93\00:31:28.59
as I face each dark unknown
00:31:29.10\00:31:32.68
I have never, never been alone
00:31:33.08\00:31:36.33
I give You thanks...
00:31:36.63\00:31:39.02
Lord, I give You thanks.
00:31:39.22\00:31:42.46
Thank you,
00:31:44.25\00:31:47.79
Lord.
00:31:48.10\00:31:51.29
Thank you, Lord.
00:31:52.05\00:31:58.03
For all You've
00:31:59.02\00:32:03.06
done for me
00:32:03.36\00:32:06.39
I thank you, Lord.
00:32:06.69\00:32:12.61
Sing with us... We thank you...
00:32:12.71\00:32:14.31
We thank you, Lord.
00:32:14.51\00:32:19.61
Lord, we thank you.
00:32:19.81\00:32:21.95
Thank you, Lord,
00:32:22.35\00:32:27.71
for all You've done.
00:32:27.81\00:32:29.57
For all You've
00:32:29.77\00:32:33.49
done for us
00:32:33.69\00:32:36.97
we thank you, Lord.
00:32:37.27\00:32:42.92
For all You've done...
00:32:43.05\00:32:45.42
For all You've
00:32:45.52\00:32:48.84
done for us
00:32:49.14\00:32:53.30
we thank you,
00:32:53.60\00:32:59.37
Lord.
00:32:59.67\00:33:05.62
Thank you so much.
00:33:11.82\00:33:13.11
Gonna do one last song for you.
00:33:13.61\00:33:16.03
Just know that there's
always hope in the Lord.
00:33:16.43\00:33:20.83
Always hope in the Lord.
00:33:21.17\00:33:23.70
When I am down
00:33:31.04\00:33:33.51
and oh my soul so weary.
00:33:34.51\00:33:38.34
When troubles come
00:33:38.65\00:33:42.66
and my heart burdened be.
00:33:43.54\00:33:47.66
And I am still and
wait here in the silence
00:33:49.20\00:33:55.11
until you come
00:33:56.30\00:33:59.30
and sit a while with me.
00:33:59.80\00:34:03.48
You raise me up
00:34:05.85\00:34:08.99
so I can stand on mountains;
00:34:09.19\00:34:13.10
You raise me up
00:34:15.22\00:34:18.00
to walk on stormy seas.
00:34:18.10\00:34:22.32
And I am strong
00:34:22.52\00:34:27.44
when I am on Your shoulders.
00:34:27.64\00:34:32.51
You raise me up
00:34:33.79\00:34:36.30
to more than I can be.
00:34:37.42\00:34:43.37
Thank you, Lord.
00:35:06.16\00:35:09.17
You raise me up
00:35:15.82\00:35:19.50
so I can stand on mountains;
00:35:19.71\00:35:23.61
You raise me up
00:35:24.01\00:35:27.42
to walk on stormy seas.
00:35:27.52\00:35:31.11
And I am strong
00:35:31.88\00:35:36.32
when I am on Your shoulders.
00:35:36.42\00:35:41.15
You raise me up
00:35:41.94\00:35:44.25
to more than I
00:35:44.55\00:35:46.96
can be.
00:35:47.63\00:35:52.88
There is no life...
00:35:53.08\00:35:56.66
no life without its hunger.
00:35:56.97\00:36:01.17
Each restless heart
00:36:01.48\00:36:03.76
beats so imperfectly.
00:36:04.16\00:36:09.51
But then You come
00:36:09.71\00:36:12.95
and I am filled with wonder.
00:36:13.15\00:36:18.11
Sometimes I think
00:36:18.41\00:36:20.66
I glimpse eternity.
00:36:20.86\00:36:24.49
You raise me up
00:36:25.08\00:36:29.12
so I can stand on mountains;
00:36:29.22\00:36:33.87
You raise me up
00:36:34.17\00:36:37.34
to walk on stormy seas.
00:36:37.44\00:36:41.01
And I am strong
00:36:41.41\00:36:44.37
when I am on Your shoulders.
00:36:44.58\00:36:50.07
You raise me up
00:36:50.81\00:36:53.48
to more than I can be...
00:36:54.67\00:37:00.57
Lord, you raise me up
00:37:02.99\00:37:07.92
to more than I can
00:37:09.22\00:37:13.51
be.
00:37:17.41\00:37:23.33
All right. Praise the
Lord! Come here just a second.
00:37:33.81\00:37:36.67
I thought you were
going to do one more.
00:37:36.87\00:37:38.33
Maybe if there's time
we'll get you to do another one
00:37:38.43\00:37:40.12
here a little later, all right?
00:37:40.22\00:37:41.48
As Reggie
mentioned, they did a DVD.
00:37:42.59\00:37:45.25
It's the most... Really,
it's the most incredible DVD
00:37:45.45\00:37:47.69
I've ever heard. I've
been blessed by 20-some songs.
00:37:47.79\00:37:51.72
They have them for those
of you here. In the booth
00:37:52.02\00:37:54.37
they're available tonight.
When we're doing programs
00:37:54.47\00:37:57.11
a lot of times you just
sing on Sabbath so we don't...
00:37:57.22\00:37:59.46
we aren't able to promote your
product. But what a blessing!
00:37:59.60\00:38:02.72
Those of you that's received
the blessing, you want to go
00:38:02.92\00:38:05.19
home and hear these
songs again and again
00:38:05.29\00:38:06.96
or share them with friends
that weren't able to make it.
00:38:07.16\00:38:09.60
They have CDs; they have DVDs.
00:38:10.00\00:38:12.33
And we're just so thankful
to be able to work with you
00:38:12.53\00:38:15.51
literally back here.
There's just such an anointing.
00:38:15.71\00:38:18.14
I don't know about
you but I have chill bumps
00:38:18.34\00:38:19.93
hearing them and
watching them sing
00:38:20.23\00:38:22.37
and it's hard to
hold back the tears.
00:38:22.47\00:38:24.20
That's a foretaste of what
heaven is going to be like.
00:38:24.50\00:38:26.66
I mean, and I hate to... I'm
not trying to brag on you guys,
00:38:26.96\00:38:30.30
but your voices
are just incredible!
00:38:30.40\00:38:32.37
And I don't know...
I always stand amazed
00:38:32.67\00:38:35.69
but the thing that
makes it so great for me
00:38:35.89\00:38:38.99
is they have humility.
They give God all the credit
00:38:39.19\00:38:42.44
and there's an anointing
on your music. So thank you.
00:38:42.75\00:38:45.39
We love you; God bless you.
00:38:45.69\00:38:47.19
We're looking for more music
especially Sabbath morning.
00:38:47.39\00:38:50.10
We're doing a brand
new second coming project.
00:38:50.31\00:38:52.65
They'll be
singing songs on there.
00:38:52.95\00:38:55.08
Amazing songs, and the one
that's Dotti Rambo: We Shall
00:38:55.48\00:38:59.21
Behold Him. They're
going to be doing that
00:38:59.31\00:39:01.60
and some new songs.
And 2 or 3 that you wrote
00:39:01.70\00:39:04.07
that are amazing. We're looking
forward to you all singing them.
00:39:04.27\00:39:06.77
So thank you so much; God
bless you for what you do.
00:39:06.97\00:39:09.15
Now we're going to bring
out our friend C.A. Murray.
00:39:09.45\00:39:11.96
Pastor Murray. And C.A.
came here I don't know...
00:39:12.26\00:39:16.33
It's been how many years since
you came here to southern IL?
00:39:16.53\00:39:18.88
Workin' on ten.
Working on ten years?
00:39:19.08\00:39:21.32
And C.A. is a wonderful
pastor, incredible pastor.
00:39:21.72\00:39:25.59
He's an incredible friend.
00:39:25.90\00:39:27.57
What we didn't really know was
that he has ability and a gift,
00:39:27.77\00:39:31.81
an anointing to sing also.
00:39:32.01\00:39:33.45
So every now and then we get him
out from all of the other hats
00:39:33.85\00:39:36.74
that he wears. That's...
I won't say anything...
00:39:36.84\00:39:39.47
Somebody commented, said:
"Well he doesn't have any hair.
00:39:39.67\00:39:41.84
He has too many
hats. " It's not true.
00:39:41.94\00:39:43.63
Not true. He might even
have some if he grew it out,
00:39:44.03\00:39:47.03
I don't know. But C.A.
is one of the most talented
00:39:47.23\00:39:50.50
individuals I've ever had
the privilege of working with.
00:39:50.60\00:39:53.67
A brilliant guy, and I say that
from the bottom of my heart.
00:39:53.98\00:39:56.82
We kid each other;
we have a lot of fun.
00:39:57.02\00:39:58.53
But even when we're
not working here together
00:39:58.84\00:40:02.15
we'll do things
together as families, don't we?
00:40:02.35\00:40:04.21
We like to go to places.
Went to Cave-In-Rock recently
00:40:04.31\00:40:06.59
down on the Ohio and
had a wonderful time.
00:40:06.79\00:40:08.87
Thank you for your ministry
and your love for Jesus.
00:40:08.90\00:40:11.87
I know what it's like
00:40:36.22\00:40:40.40
to think of things I've done
00:40:40.70\00:40:45.15
and want to run and hide
00:40:45.65\00:40:49.96
my head in shame.
00:40:50.16\00:40:54.78
I know what it's like
00:40:55.81\00:40:59.37
to really hurt someone
00:40:59.77\00:41:04.39
and feel no sense of sorrow
00:41:04.79\00:41:09.21
at their pain.
00:41:09.51\00:41:14.28
Oh, but I know what it's like
00:41:14.68\00:41:18.02
to have enough of my disgrace
00:41:18.32\00:41:23.47
and find because of Jesus' blood
00:41:23.77\00:41:28.55
my sin can be erased.
00:41:28.86\00:41:34.76
He has
00:41:35.16\00:41:39.52
forgiven me.
00:41:39.92\00:41:44.31
My sin has been washed
00:41:44.71\00:41:48.88
from His memory.
00:41:49.18\00:41:54.01
By the blood of the Lamb
00:41:54.51\00:41:59.42
of Calvary
00:41:59.72\00:42:04.63
He has
00:42:06.33\00:42:11.03
forgiven me.
00:42:11.53\00:42:17.49
Do you know what it's like
00:42:18.69\00:42:22.69
for God to be your friend?
00:42:22.99\00:42:27.34
To talk to Him
00:42:28.05\00:42:30.58
with nothing in between?
00:42:30.78\00:42:36.72
Do you know what it's like
00:42:37.80\00:42:41.54
when your day comes to an end
00:42:41.74\00:42:46.78
to sleep in peace
00:42:47.28\00:42:49.72
all because your heart is clean?
00:42:49.92\00:42:55.83
Do you know what it's like
00:42:56.94\00:43:00.12
when the accuser comes your way
00:43:00.52\00:43:05.61
to look him squarely in the eye
00:43:05.81\00:43:10.59
with confidence and say:
00:43:10.79\00:43:16.78
He has
00:43:21.02\00:43:25.45
forgiven me.
00:43:25.75\00:43:30.13
My sins have been washed
00:43:30.44\00:43:34.90
from His memory.
00:43:35.20\00:43:39.80
By the blood of the Lamb
00:43:40.30\00:43:45.27
of Calvary
00:43:45.77\00:43:50.26
He has
00:43:50.66\00:43:54.42
forgiven me.
00:43:54.62\00:43:59.52
He has
00:44:00.02\00:44:03.95
forgiven me.
00:44:04.26\00:44:08.41
My sin has been washed
00:44:08.71\00:44:13.25
from His memory.
00:44:13.55\00:44:18.01
By the blood of the Lamb
00:44:18.51\00:44:23.48
of Calvary
00:44:23.88\00:44:28.55
He has
00:44:28.85\00:44:32.80
forgiven me.
00:44:33.30\00:44:39.26
By the blood of the Lamb
00:44:39.69\00:44:45.05
of Calvary
00:44:46.03\00:44:51.02
He has
00:44:52.41\00:44:57.54
forgiven
00:44:57.84\00:45:01.61
me.
00:45:02.01\00:45:08.00
Amen.
00:45:13.31\00:45:15.99
Amen? My brother from New York.
00:45:17.69\00:45:21.09
It's so wonderful to be blessed
by the ministry of music,
00:45:22.78\00:45:25.34
is it not? And it is a
preparation for the ministry
00:45:25.54\00:45:28.55
of the Word. And you
don't want to go anywhere.
00:45:28.65\00:45:30.96
Pastor Carlton
Byrd is here tonight.
00:45:31.06\00:45:33.14
He's going to be the next voice
you hear after these songs.
00:45:33.54\00:45:36.06
And then they left me for 9
o'clock, so don't go anywhere.
00:45:36.46\00:45:39.53
I'd like to invite Mike
and Celestine Barry to come out
00:45:40.62\00:45:43.59
right now. We've
got probably one of the
00:45:43.69\00:45:46.07
only Filipino-Italian
connections in the world.
00:45:46.17\00:45:48.59
And come on out
Mike and Celestine.
00:45:49.09\00:45:51.22
And Celestine and Mike
moved to Thompsonville from
00:45:51.42\00:45:55.46
Chicago a few years ago.
00:45:55.66\00:45:57.81
Came down here by the invitation
of one of our church members
00:45:58.11\00:46:01.04
Rosemary Marlowe.
And they decided to stay.
00:46:01.24\00:46:05.18
They have two children
that are in our church school.
00:46:05.38\00:46:07.37
And I have the privilege of
having Celestine as my secretary
00:46:07.57\00:46:12.05
and Mike as my Italian brother.
00:46:12.08\00:46:14.56
We have brother
from a different mother.
00:46:14.66\00:46:16.40
But they're going to
bless you tonight with a song,
00:46:16.60\00:46:17.92
and I know you're
going to be blessed.
00:46:18.12\00:46:19.24
I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel.
00:46:19.54\00:46:22.26
We're an anchor for those
00:46:36.74\00:46:39.85
who are hurting
00:46:40.35\00:46:43.60
and we're a harbor for those
00:46:44.49\00:46:47.94
who are lost,
00:46:48.34\00:46:51.50
Sometimes it's not always easy
00:46:52.60\00:46:58.15
bearing Calvary's cross...
00:46:58.55\00:47:04.06
We've been ridiculed by those
00:47:06.73\00:47:10.29
who don't know Him
00:47:10.59\00:47:13.80
and mocked by those
00:47:14.10\00:47:16.89
who don't believe...
00:47:17.09\00:47:20.43
Still I love standing up
00:47:20.83\00:47:23.66
for my Jesus
00:47:23.96\00:47:26.95
'cause of all
that He's done for me.
00:47:28.01\00:47:33.01
That's why I am not ashamed
00:47:33.51\00:47:37.82
of the gospel...
00:47:38.12\00:47:40.96
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:47:42.02\00:47:46.95
No, I am not ashamed
00:47:48.00\00:47:51.70
to be counted:
00:47:52.00\00:47:54.63
I am willing to give my life.
00:47:55.69\00:48:01.01
See I'm ready to be
00:48:01.68\00:48:05.03
all He wants me to be.
00:48:05.33\00:48:09.49
Give up the wrong for the right.
00:48:10.02\00:48:15.12
No, I am not ashamed
00:48:15.52\00:48:18.86
of the gospel...
00:48:19.16\00:48:21.72
No, I am not ashamed
00:48:22.12\00:48:25.53
of the gospel
00:48:25.83\00:48:27.71
of Jesus Christ.
00:48:28.01\00:48:33.96
For every moment
00:48:40.52\00:48:43.61
His hand has held mercy
00:48:43.91\00:48:48.09
and for all the love
00:48:48.39\00:48:50.48
that He's shown all my life,
00:48:50.78\00:48:55.26
A simple thanks doesn't say
00:48:55.29\00:48:59.32
how I'm feeling...
00:48:59.52\00:49:01.99
I get tears
00:49:02.29\00:49:05.48
in my eyes.
00:49:05.78\00:49:08.73
Well as for me,
I'm going to keep on
00:49:08.93\00:49:13.84
believing in the One
00:49:14.14\00:49:18.07
who's been so faithful to me.
00:49:18.27\00:49:23.26
I'm not out to
please the whole world
00:49:23.56\00:49:27.72
around me,
00:49:27.92\00:49:29.82
I've got my mind on eternity!
00:49:30.12\00:49:36.06
That's why I am not ashamed
00:49:36.47\00:49:40.18
of the gospel...
00:49:40.48\00:49:43.61
yes, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:49:43.91\00:49:49.30
No, I am not ashamed
00:49:50.01\00:49:53.69
to be counted
00:49:54.00\00:49:56.85
and I'm willing to give my life.
00:49:57.25\00:50:02.99
You see, I'm ready to be
00:50:03.39\00:50:06.56
all He wants me to be
00:50:06.87\00:50:11.37
and give up the
wrong for the right.
00:50:11.67\00:50:16.45
No, I am not ashamed
00:50:16.85\00:50:20.00
of the gospel...
00:50:20.31\00:50:22.69
No, I am not ashamed
00:50:23.09\00:50:26.46
of the gospel of Jesus
00:50:26.76\00:50:31.04
Christ.
00:50:31.24\00:50:33.84
Oh, oh, oh.
00:50:34.44\00:50:39.82
No, I am not ashamed
00:50:42.23\00:50:45.52
of the gospel...
00:50:45.72\00:50:48.09
No, I am not ashamed
00:50:48.49\00:50:51.73
of the gospel...
00:50:52.03\00:50:54.09
I've got too much behind me
00:50:54.39\00:51:00.00
to let this world blind me.
00:51:00.20\00:51:03.30
To some He's just a name
00:51:03.50\00:51:05.88
but to me He's my everything.
00:51:06.19\00:51:10.12
I am not ashamed
00:51:10.53\00:51:12.37
of the gospel...
00:51:12.57\00:51:15.20
No, I am not ashamed
00:51:15.60\00:51:18.81
of the gospel...
00:51:18.84\00:51:21.05
No, I am not ashamed
00:51:21.35\00:51:25.80
of the gospel
00:51:26.10\00:51:29.77
of Jesus
00:51:31.14\00:51:35.34
Christ.
00:51:36.27\00:51:39.84
Amen.
00:51:47.42\00:51:48.70
Thank you Celestine and Michael.
00:51:49.20\00:51:50.80
They are not ashamed of the
gospel and they are such a great
00:51:51.30\00:51:54.12
help. They're from the local
area. Moved here some time ago.
00:51:54.23\00:51:57.30
What an asset and what talents
00:51:57.50\00:51:59.35
that we have. It's
great to have them here.
00:51:59.45\00:52:00.90
Speaking of that, we
have Pastor John Lomacang.
00:52:01.10\00:52:03.62
And we only have a few
more minutes. I won't do a lot
00:52:04.02\00:52:06.36
of talking but I could talk
a long time about what a great
00:52:06.47\00:52:08.95
friend: a pastor, a Christian.
00:52:09.15\00:52:11.51
And just love and
appreciate you, too, John.
00:52:11.71\00:52:14.44
Thank you for what you
do for the cause of God.
00:52:14.64\00:52:16.61
Thank you, Danny.
That's from his heart.
00:52:16.81\00:52:18.85
I do believe that.
00:52:19.05\00:52:20.19
Reggie and Ladye, come on
out. Just join me real quickly.
00:52:20.49\00:52:23.31
We just decided to do something
together. This is a solo
00:52:23.71\00:52:28.70
but I figure why - when
I have such good singers
00:52:29.00\00:52:31.67
with me - and do
this song as a solo?
00:52:31.87\00:52:34.95
You might feel
differently after this.
00:52:35.15\00:52:36.34
Oh, we're going to be fine. You
know there are things in life
00:52:36.44\00:52:38.95
we don't understand
but as the songwriter said
00:52:39.05\00:52:41.43
Farther along
we'll know all about it.
00:52:41.73\00:52:43.99
Farther along
00:52:51.46\00:52:56.29
we'll
00:52:56.49\00:52:58.42
know all
00:52:58.92\00:53:00.80
about it.
00:53:01.00\00:53:06.16
Farther along
00:53:06.46\00:53:12.16
we'll
00:53:12.46\00:53:14.43
understand why.
00:53:14.93\00:53:18.97
Turn to your neighbor
and say these two words:
00:53:19.07\00:53:20.29
"Cheer up" Are you ready?
00:53:20.49\00:53:21.52
Cheer up
00:53:22.41\00:53:24.26
my brother...
00:53:24.46\00:53:30.03
and live in
00:53:30.33\00:53:32.41
the sunshine.
00:53:32.51\00:53:37.71
We'll understand
00:53:38.13\00:53:43.81
it
00:53:43.84\00:53:46.26
all by and by.
00:53:46.56\00:53:52.56
When we see Jesus...
00:53:54.72\00:54:00.69
see Him coming
00:54:02.15\00:54:04.39
in glory,
00:54:04.59\00:54:08.91
When He comes from
00:54:10.29\00:54:16.14
our... our home in
00:54:16.34\00:54:20.08
the sky - Oh yes, He will -
00:54:20.48\00:54:25.71
Then we will
00:54:26.31\00:54:29.02
meet Him
00:54:29.13\00:54:32.98
in all His glory,
00:54:34.25\00:54:40.22
We'll understand
00:54:41.96\00:54:47.82
it all by and by.
00:54:47.92\00:54:53.75
Come on Camp Meeting,
let's sing the song together.
00:54:53.95\00:54:55.85
Are we ready? Here we go:
00:54:55.95\00:54:56.99
Farther along
00:54:57.92\00:55:03.37
we'll
00:55:03.67\00:55:05.51
know all about it.
00:55:05.81\00:55:11.53
Oh yes we will.
00:55:11.63\00:55:13.36
And farther along
00:55:13.46\00:55:19.14
we'll... we're gonna
00:55:19.34\00:55:21.79
understand why.
00:55:22.00\00:55:26.10
Tell your neighbor
one more time to cheer up.
00:55:26.40\00:55:28.37
Are you ready? Cheer up
00:55:28.47\00:55:31.23
my brother - and my sister -
00:55:31.44\00:55:36.45
and let's live in the
00:55:36.55\00:55:40.18
sunshine.
00:55:40.28\00:55:44.78
We'll understand
00:55:45.60\00:55:51.15
it
00:55:51.25\00:55:53.28
all by and by.
00:55:53.58\00:55:58.10
Oh yes we will now...
00:55:58.30\00:56:01.06
We'll understand
00:56:01.57\00:56:07.04
it
00:56:07.24\00:56:09.49
all by and by...
00:56:09.79\00:56:15.75
all by and
00:56:17.65\00:56:21.29
by.
00:56:21.49\00:56:27.29
Amen! Danny, it's yours.
00:56:27.59\00:56:30.60
Oh, it's mine? All right.
00:56:31.11\00:56:33.74
Praise the Lord!
00:56:33.84\00:56:37.34
I think Pastor Byrd is
going to "throw down. "
00:56:37.84\00:56:43.01
I asked him to warm
up the pulpit for me.
00:56:43.51\00:56:46.52
I think we warmed it up for him.
00:56:46.72\00:56:48.33
So don't go anywhere.
Praise the Lord. You know what?
00:56:48.83\00:56:50.78
We will understand it
better by and by. Amen!
00:56:50.98\00:56:53.32
Sometimes trials
and tribulations come;
00:56:53.55\00:56:56.01
it doesn't make any sense.
00:56:56.12\00:56:57.30
But God is still God in
the midst of all of that.
00:56:57.50\00:56:59.90
What do you say? Amen!
00:57:00.11\00:57:01.37
Sometimes disappointments come.
00:57:01.47\00:57:02.77
Sometimes our plans are
interrupted and it has no
00:57:02.87\00:57:06.41
explanation for that's part
of the prerogative of being God.
00:57:06.61\00:57:10.08
God is still God in the
midst of our difficulties.
00:57:10.28\00:57:12.76
So if you're tuning in to
this program wondering where
00:57:13.26\00:57:16.04
the hope is found in the
midst of all this darkness
00:57:16.14\00:57:18.34
don't try to
make sense out of it.
00:57:18.74\00:57:20.77
You'll understand it
better all by and by.
00:57:20.97\00:57:23.57
Keep trusting the Lord
and when you make the kingdom
00:57:23.78\00:57:26.53
it'll all be clear
at the feet of Jesus.
00:57:26.73\00:57:29.20
Praise the Lord? Amen!
00:57:30.00\00:57:32.09
