Hello and welcome to 3ABN
to our Spring Camp Meeting.
00:00:38.70\00:00:42.04
We all having a
good time here, folks?
00:00:42.07\00:00:43.71
Amen! Amen. Do you hear that?
00:00:43.74\00:00:45.71
We have folks from many
states around the country
00:00:45.74\00:00:48.31
and many - literally -
countries around the world
00:00:48.34\00:00:51.38
are represented here.
We're glad that you're all here
00:00:51.61\00:00:53.95
and those of you at
home: thank you for joining us
00:00:53.98\00:00:56.28
as you do each and every day.
00:00:56.42\00:00:57.92
I wanted to introduce some
special guests, 'cause we don't
00:00:58.15\00:01:00.92
get together very often.
00:01:00.96\00:01:02.32
But these young ladies
are my three... we say aunts.
00:01:02.46\00:01:06.96
Some people say aunts,
so depending how you want
00:01:07.10\00:01:09.36
to say it... my dad's
sisters, three of them.
00:01:09.40\00:01:12.23
There was 13 in the family,
00:01:12.37\00:01:14.00
and these are my only three
aunts that are still with us.
00:01:14.14\00:01:18.11
And I have an Uncle
Bud who is still around
00:01:18.24\00:01:20.64
and so our family has
dwindled down, hasn't it?
00:01:20.78\00:01:22.94
But when we get to heaven
we'll all be back together,
00:01:23.28\00:01:26.35
right? Amen!
They're a bunch of Sheltons.
00:01:26.38\00:01:28.65
So over here this young
woman many of you know her
00:01:28.78\00:01:33.52
but you didn't know
her. This is Hayley Kaye.
00:01:33.66\00:01:35.86
You've seen her grow up on
television, but now she just
00:01:35.89\00:01:38.26
got married a month ago.
Hi Hayley Kaye. Yeah, hi!
00:01:38.29\00:01:40.90
All right. We're glad
you're here. I love you, honey.
00:01:41.10\00:01:43.10
I love you too. You
still Papa's girl? Absolutely.
00:01:43.23\00:01:46.30
Oh, all right. I
pay her to say that
00:01:46.33\00:01:47.84
but it still sounds good.
00:01:47.87\00:01:49.60
No I don't. She's wonderful.
00:01:49.84\00:01:51.34
I have with me Aunt Dolly.
00:01:51.47\00:01:54.08
And Aunt Dolly she
doesn't mind me telling you
00:01:54.31\00:01:56.64
is 87 years young.
How 'bout that? All right!
00:01:56.68\00:02:00.08
All right. Good healthy
Christian livin' - that's what
00:02:00.32\00:02:04.49
that's all about. That's
right! My Aunt Laura, she would
00:02:04.52\00:02:06.96
shoot me if I told
you how old she was.
00:02:06.99\00:02:09.29
Where you from, Aunt Laura?
I'm from Gatlinburg, Tennessee,
00:02:09.62\00:02:12.76
or that area. Yeah. Aunt
Dolly says you can tell her age.
00:02:12.93\00:02:17.27
No, Aunt Laura
would be like Del Delker.
00:02:17.50\00:02:19.93
You ask Del Delker:
"Del, how old are you? "
00:02:20.17\00:02:23.17
She says: "Well I can tell
you but I'll have to kill you. "
00:02:23.30\00:02:25.71
You figure that one out.
00:02:27.64\00:02:28.91
You're not going to
tell it around, right?
00:02:28.94\00:02:30.85
You got a mike for Aunt Ruby?
00:02:31.18\00:02:33.48
Aunt Ruby, how... Oh
no, I won't ask your age.
00:02:33.92\00:02:36.32
Where are you from?
West Frankfort just outside
00:02:36.45\00:02:39.32
Thompsonville. That's right.
00:02:39.35\00:02:40.56
And who's that
standing next to you?
00:02:40.59\00:02:42.26
That's my husband Clinton.
00:02:42.39\00:02:43.76
And he won't let me have a
mike. I don't understand it.
00:02:43.79\00:02:47.93
I mean, I don't say anything
but nice things about him.
00:02:48.03\00:02:51.23
Cowboy Clinton... please
get that mike away from him
00:02:51.27\00:02:54.57
'cause he knows a story on
me that just happened last week.
00:02:54.90\00:02:57.61
I didn't want him to tell
the whole world that I got lost.
00:02:57.64\00:03:00.21
All right. Well,
misplaced for a while on a ride.
00:03:00.34\00:03:02.28
He's a cowboy. We
went riding, and so somehow
00:03:02.41\00:03:05.25
I took a wrong turn looking
for a trail, and it took us
00:03:05.28\00:03:08.75
a little while. So he said:
"That sure was a long ride! "
00:03:08.78\00:03:11.29
But most of it was in the truck.
00:03:11.42\00:03:13.29
So... rather than on the horses.
00:03:13.46\00:03:15.69
But these two were
boyfriend and girlfriend
00:03:15.82\00:03:19.83
when they were teenagers here
in West Frankfort, Illinois.
00:03:19.96\00:03:22.36
They went their separate
ways... remarried, had families,
00:03:22.60\00:03:25.97
and 50 years later
their spouses had died
00:03:26.00\00:03:28.27
and over 50 years
later they got back together
00:03:28.30\00:03:30.77
and only recently,
last... what, three years or so?
00:03:30.91\00:03:33.58
have married. And
they're happily now living.
00:03:33.81\00:03:36.81
From boyfriend to
girlfriend 50 years later
00:03:36.95\00:03:39.58
they said: "You know
what? We still love each other.
00:03:39.71\00:03:41.82
We're gonna get married. "
00:03:41.95\00:03:43.35
And so they are. So
thank you all for being here.
00:03:43.49\00:03:47.89
Dr. Gilley. Well
this is just... to me...
00:03:48.22\00:03:51.76
I was telling Danny: "We
have to have them up here"
00:03:51.79\00:03:53.90
because it is an amazing
thing, Danny, to have 13 members
00:03:54.00\00:03:59.17
of a family and four are still
living after these many years.
00:03:59.20\00:04:03.14
You lost one in
the service, I think.
00:04:03.27\00:04:05.64
And we're going to be talking...
Sabbath afternoon we're going to
00:04:05.87\00:04:09.48
be honoring our
servicemen here. Absolutely.
00:04:09.51\00:04:12.85
And, you know,
America's a great country.
00:04:12.88\00:04:15.62
We're going to talk about
some of the wonderful things
00:04:15.75\00:04:18.35
that God has done for this
country and enabled this country
00:04:18.49\00:04:22.96
to do around the world.
00:04:23.09\00:04:24.86
And we're going to
recognize some of those
00:04:24.99\00:04:26.93
and challenge the
people of our nation
00:04:27.03\00:04:30.17
to once again go
forward strong with the gospel
00:04:30.30\00:04:34.20
of Jesus Christ. So
you be sure to remember
00:04:34.34\00:04:37.64
that we're going to be
talking about being one.
00:04:37.77\00:04:40.14
We're one with each
other, one with the Lord,
00:04:40.28\00:04:42.54
and one with the world
in presenting the gospel
00:04:42.78\00:04:46.35
of Jesus. All right,
thank you aunts and uncles.
00:04:46.38\00:04:48.92
Appreciate you; love you
all. Thanks for coming out.
00:04:49.05\00:04:51.12
All right. Hayley Kaye,
love you too, honey. Bye-bye.
00:04:51.35\00:04:54.49
All right. Jim Gilley
said "We've got to get them...
00:04:54.82\00:04:59.06
we've got to get them on stage.
00:04:59.09\00:05:00.66
It's my privilege to
introduce Brother Tim.
00:05:00.80\00:05:02.83
Tim, we haven't seen
you in a while. You're busy.
00:05:02.96\00:05:04.63
I know you're traveling...
doing a lot of work.
00:05:04.77\00:05:06.30
We have a brand new piano
and this is your first time to
00:05:06.53\00:05:09.20
play it, right? I
love it; it's great!
00:05:09.24\00:05:11.34
So how many of you have
ever seen or heard Tim Parton
00:05:11.37\00:05:13.84
play before? All right.
00:05:14.01\00:05:15.34
All right. See all
those hands went up there?
00:05:15.48\00:05:17.38
For those of you that haven't,
Tim is an incredible talent.
00:05:17.51\00:05:21.48
But he loves the Lord,
and he's worked with 3ABN.
00:05:21.62\00:05:24.25
The Pillars Hymns... if you
have The Pillars Hymns album,
00:05:24.29\00:05:26.79
Tim arranged it,
put it all together,
00:05:26.82\00:05:28.79
is playing it. Worked
with Chris Wilkinson on the
00:05:28.82\00:05:32.96
orchestra, the strings. And
it's just an incredible project.
00:05:32.99\00:05:35.73
What are you going
to do for us tonight?
00:05:35.86\00:05:37.27
You're going to do a
song or two, right? Yes.
00:05:37.40\00:05:39.27
All right. It has been a while
and one thing I have missed
00:05:39.30\00:05:42.24
since I've been away
is your beautiful voice.
00:05:42.27\00:05:45.37
Oh no, no. He'll
say that if you pay him.
00:05:45.41\00:05:47.64
No... no I mean it. I
love to hear Danny sing.
00:05:47.78\00:05:51.08
And so I'm going to
ask you just to wait
00:05:51.21\00:05:54.15
till I point to you, OK?
00:05:54.28\00:05:56.35
What are we singing?
You're going to surprise me?
00:05:56.69\00:05:59.05
You'll recognize it. OK.
00:05:59.19\00:06:00.66
Turn... turn your eyes
00:06:51.17\00:06:55.28
upon Jesus,
00:06:55.51\00:06:59.15
Look full in
00:07:00.68\00:07:02.92
His wonderful face.
00:07:03.25\00:07:09.19
And the things of this old earth
00:07:09.52\00:07:15.06
will grow
strangely... strangely dim
00:07:15.40\00:07:20.37
in the light
00:07:20.70\00:07:23.04
of His glory
00:07:23.17\00:07:26.21
and grace. Sing with us too:
00:07:26.34\00:07:31.18
Turn your eyes
00:07:31.41\00:07:35.15
upon Jesus,
00:07:35.28\00:07:40.26
Look full in His wonderful
00:07:40.39\00:07:46.06
face.
00:07:46.19\00:07:49.26
And the things of earth
00:07:50.00\00:07:54.54
will grow strangely dim
00:07:54.97\00:08:00.98
in the light
00:08:01.68\00:08:04.45
of His glory
00:08:04.58\00:08:08.38
and grace. Amen!
00:08:08.52\00:08:13.66
Minister to us. Amen.
00:08:13.89\00:08:15.32
Turn your eyes upon Jesus.
00:08:15.66\00:08:17.66
If I had one word of advice
00:08:17.79\00:08:20.23
for anybody that would be it.
00:08:20.36\00:08:23.30
Turn your eyes upon Him.
00:08:24.50\00:08:26.67
You know, there have
been situations in my life
00:08:27.10\00:08:30.41
in the past few years
that I have wondered why.
00:08:30.54\00:08:34.78
Why would God make us go
through things like that?
00:08:35.11\00:08:39.48
I'm sure you have
things in your life
00:08:39.71\00:08:41.58
that you may ask the same thing.
00:08:41.92\00:08:45.52
I was in northern
California a while back
00:08:45.75\00:08:49.62
and I had just gotten an
e-mail. I had read this e-mail
00:08:49.76\00:08:54.00
and the minute I read it I
knew... well I just regretted
00:08:54.30\00:08:59.87
reading it. And I checked
00:09:00.20\00:09:05.97
into the hotel room there
and I threw myself on the bed
00:09:06.01\00:09:09.11
and I was just so
frustrated with the situation.
00:09:09.24\00:09:12.35
It just like rubbed
salt into the wound.
00:09:12.38\00:09:14.92
And I laid there
for a few minutes
00:09:17.05\00:09:18.75
and maybe had a little pity
party... you know, like we do.
00:09:18.89\00:09:22.12
Then I remembered
that I have a friend
00:09:22.36\00:09:24.53
right there in
northern California.
00:09:25.16\00:09:28.23
Now I'm from Missouri.
I've lived the past 20 years
00:09:28.36\00:09:31.43
in Tennessee. But
there in northern California
00:09:31.57\00:09:37.54
there was a friend.
00:09:37.77\00:09:39.37
So I sat up on the bed and
00:09:40.78\00:09:44.11
next to the bed
was a nightstand.
00:09:44.25\00:09:47.58
I opened the drawer
and there was my friend.
00:09:49.48\00:09:53.99
Thank God for the Gideons, Amen?
00:09:54.32\00:09:59.29
So I opened the Bible. I
just kind of let it fall open
00:10:00.76\00:10:04.07
on my lap.
00:10:04.10\00:10:05.67
And it opened to a
scripture in Isaiah.
00:10:07.60\00:10:11.71
Now sad to say, I'm
not a scholar of Isaiah,
00:10:11.94\00:10:17.58
but I knew exactly what he meant
00:10:20.18\00:10:23.92
when all of those
hundreds of years ago he wrote
00:10:25.55\00:10:28.56
in chapter 26 verse 3
00:10:28.69\00:10:31.93
"Thou wilt keep
him in perfect peace
00:10:32.26\00:10:36.46
whose mind is stayed on Thee
00:10:36.70\00:10:39.30
because he trusteth in Thee. "
00:10:39.43\00:10:42.67
Amen? So that evening...
00:10:43.00\00:10:45.57
I was in town for a
concert, so that evening
00:10:45.81\00:10:50.31
I went to the church and
I stepped inside the doors
00:10:50.45\00:10:54.48
of the church, and they
had beautiful scriptures
00:10:54.52\00:10:58.32
framed on the walls. The
first scripture that I saw
00:10:58.45\00:11:03.99
you will never
guess what it said.
00:11:04.13\00:11:06.76
Isaiah 26 verse 3.
00:11:08.23\00:11:11.17
Now you may think that God
doesn't talk to us any more...
00:11:12.63\00:11:16.47
I disagree.
00:11:17.54\00:11:19.24
He will keep
you in perfect peace
00:11:20.91\00:11:23.41
if you will
keep your mind on Him
00:11:24.68\00:11:26.95
and trust in Him.
00:11:27.88\00:11:29.45
So now I have this song to sing:
00:11:30.92\00:11:33.42
Before this
trial is finally past.
00:11:33.56\00:11:38.16
Before the hurt is gone.
00:11:40.63\00:11:44.43
Before the pain subsides at last
00:11:46.23\00:11:50.71
and once again I'm strong.
00:11:53.27\00:11:57.81
Thank you now
00:12:00.65\00:12:04.89
for the mercy that I
know will see me through.
00:12:06.15\00:12:12.13
Thank you now
00:12:14.40\00:12:17.63
for the grace
00:12:18.57\00:12:20.67
that can only come from You.
00:12:20.90\00:12:26.94
Though I can't
see the reason why
00:12:29.11\00:12:34.68
or understand just how
00:12:36.12\00:12:41.72
Lord, I know You're faithful
00:12:43.22\00:12:48.16
so thank you now.
00:12:49.73\00:12:55.34
Whatever you're facing tonight
00:12:56.17\00:12:58.54
just thank Him through it.
00:12:58.77\00:13:01.01
For Lord, so many
times You've proved
00:13:02.01\00:13:06.51
just how good You are to me.
00:13:08.55\00:13:14.16
And so before
this mountain moves -
00:13:14.96\00:13:19.53
and I know it will -
00:13:19.86\00:13:21.70
my song to You will be:
00:13:21.83\00:13:27.84
Thank you now
00:13:29.37\00:13:33.74
for the mercy
00:13:34.58\00:13:36.58
that I know will see me through.
00:13:36.71\00:13:41.98
Thank you now
00:13:43.22\00:13:46.76
for the grace
00:13:47.19\00:13:49.29
that can only come from You.
00:13:49.42\00:13:55.40
Though I can't
see the reason why
00:13:56.93\00:14:02.37
or understand just how
00:14:03.41\00:14:08.54
Lord, I know You're faithful
00:14:10.11\00:14:15.68
so thank you now.
00:14:15.82\00:14:21.42
Though I can't
see the reason why
00:14:22.49\00:14:27.86
or understand just how
00:14:29.40\00:14:35.14
Lord, I know
00:14:36.20\00:14:40.04
You're faithful
00:14:40.08\00:14:42.98
so thank you now.
00:14:44.61\00:14:50.69
Amen. Amen!
00:14:55.39\00:14:56.49
Stay seated just a moment.
00:14:56.93\00:14:59.49
I'm going to ask Reggie and
Ladye Love Smith to come out.
00:14:59.73\00:15:02.46
And also Jason Bradley's
here. I want Jason to come out.
00:15:02.90\00:15:06.80
And Ms. Yvonne Lewis.
We want you to come on out.
00:15:07.24\00:15:12.01
I think Bret's with
you. Come on out, Bret.
00:15:12.34\00:15:15.08
Reggie and Ladye
Love... Ladye Love.
00:15:15.81\00:15:19.95
There she comes and Bret.
00:15:20.18\00:15:23.45
Yvonne Lewis, Tim.
Ready? We have two birthdays.
00:15:23.69\00:15:27.49
Ladye Love's birthday's
today at 3ABN Camp Meeting.
00:15:27.52\00:15:30.53
Jason... Jason is
Yvonne's youngest son,
00:15:33.80\00:15:37.07
and it's his birthday today.
00:15:37.10\00:15:39.20
So we're going to do happy...
Same age... Same ha ha ha ha...
00:15:39.33\00:15:42.44
No comment, all right?
00:15:42.97\00:15:45.71
Listen here: we're going to do
a little happy birthday for them
00:15:45.87\00:15:48.78
and we'll say Happy Birthday
Ladye and Jason all at once.
00:15:49.11\00:15:52.28
Ready? You got
us in the key, Tim?
00:15:52.41\00:15:54.25
Happy birthday to you,
00:15:54.38\00:15:58.52
happy birthday to you,
00:15:58.75\00:16:02.59
happy birthday
dear Ladye and Jason,
00:16:02.82\00:16:08.26
happy birthday to you!
00:16:08.83\00:16:14.97
All right. Thank you so much.
00:16:20.04\00:16:22.18
We love both of you.
Reggie and Layde, stay out here.
00:16:22.41\00:16:24.78
Jason, I got you for a minute.
Jason is now working with his
00:16:24.91\00:16:28.05
mother on Dare to Dream
with the Dare to Dream Network.
00:16:28.08\00:16:30.85
Jason, we're glad you're
here, buddy. Happy to be here.
00:16:31.09\00:16:33.42
And we appreciate what
you do for the cause of God.
00:16:33.76\00:16:36.22
It's a blessing. You
love Dare to Dream, right?
00:16:36.36\00:16:38.49
Love it. All right!
So Jason is going around.
00:16:38.63\00:16:41.56
He's going to be
getting Dare to Dream on cable
00:16:41.70\00:16:43.63
and he's working in production
organizing, getting programs
00:16:43.77\00:16:47.47
together... so a great asset.
00:16:47.50\00:16:49.44
Your mother loves
you and appreciates you.
00:16:49.57\00:16:51.24
And she can remember better
than you can what happened
00:16:51.57\00:16:54.54
28 years ago today,
right? She probably...
00:16:54.58\00:16:57.78
Thank you, Yvonne.
00:16:58.11\00:16:59.85
OK, all right.
Ladies and gentlemen,
00:17:00.08\00:17:03.35
brothers and sisters, it's
my great privilege to introduce
00:17:03.39\00:17:06.52
Reggie and Ladye Love
Smith. And we've got Bret.
00:17:06.69\00:17:08.96
He'll be coming
out in a few minutes.
00:17:08.99\00:17:10.79
And I don't
know... Are you guys?
00:17:10.93\00:17:13.03
We're just going to turn
the time over to you for a bit?
00:17:13.36\00:17:15.66
So if you want to work with Tim?
Well Tim is here, and I just
00:17:15.80\00:17:19.10
thought we just have
to do something together.
00:17:19.13\00:17:21.47
I love people who can do
stuff on the spur, right?
00:17:21.60\00:17:23.71
I know they haven't
practiced this, all right?
00:17:23.94\00:17:26.17
So good... all right...
bless us with your music
00:17:26.31\00:17:28.81
and just as long as the Lord
impresses you minister to us.
00:17:29.04\00:17:32.48
Softly and tenderly
00:17:34.42\00:17:39.69
Jesus is calling,
00:17:40.02\00:17:44.39
Calling for you
00:17:45.39\00:17:49.56
and for me;
00:17:49.60\00:17:54.04
And see on the portals
00:17:55.17\00:18:00.54
He's waiting and watching,
00:18:00.78\00:18:06.11
Calling, "O sinner,
00:18:06.88\00:18:12.12
come home. " Sing it with us.
00:18:12.45\00:18:16.73
Come home,
00:18:17.76\00:18:22.36
come home,
00:18:22.70\00:18:28.00
Ye who are weary,
00:18:28.34\00:18:32.84
come home;
00:18:33.07\00:18:39.08
Earnestly, tenderly,
00:18:39.98\00:18:45.32
Jesus is calling,
00:18:45.65\00:18:50.79
Calling, "O sinner,
00:18:51.26\00:18:57.20
come
00:18:57.93\00:19:01.44
home. "
00:19:01.67\00:19:06.41
Hallelujah!
00:19:14.15\00:19:16.12
Thank you Tim.
00:19:17.45\00:19:18.95
Suspended above
00:19:39.44\00:19:43.28
the world that He made
00:19:43.61\00:19:47.22
and below
00:19:47.45\00:19:49.05
His home in the sky
00:19:49.18\00:19:55.22
God in flesh
00:19:55.56\00:19:57.73
came down to man
00:19:58.73\00:20:02.10
and man raised Him up to die.
00:20:03.10\00:20:09.10
And there on the tree
00:20:10.41\00:20:13.88
the destiny
00:20:14.21\00:20:17.31
of every fallen man
00:20:17.65\00:20:23.49
was held by the nails
00:20:25.22\00:20:28.26
driven through
00:20:29.29\00:20:31.66
His sinless feet
00:20:32.56\00:20:36.67
and hands.
00:20:36.70\00:20:40.14
Somewhere between
00:20:40.57\00:20:44.04
heaven and earth
00:20:44.37\00:20:47.24
stood a symbol of grace
00:20:47.48\00:20:50.68
not based on our worth.
00:20:50.81\00:20:54.82
It was there He endured
00:20:55.05\00:20:58.69
what we deserve...
00:20:58.72\00:21:03.36
for the cross held
the hope of the world
00:21:03.59\00:21:08.96
somewhere between
00:21:09.30\00:21:11.87
heaven and earth.
00:21:12.00\00:21:17.57
Somewhere
00:21:17.71\00:21:19.21
between time and space;
00:21:19.34\00:21:25.08
Somewhere
00:21:25.11\00:21:26.58
between judgment and grace.
00:21:26.72\00:21:31.42
He became the sin
00:21:31.65\00:21:35.49
He'd never known.
00:21:35.52\00:21:40.16
And as the skies turned black
00:21:40.30\00:21:42.86
His Father turned His back
00:21:43.20\00:21:46.97
and for that moment
00:21:47.10\00:21:49.87
He was left alone...
00:21:50.01\00:21:54.31
He was left alone.
00:21:54.44\00:22:00.08
Somewhere between
00:22:00.12\00:22:03.28
heaven and earth
00:22:03.52\00:22:06.62
stood a symbol of grace
00:22:06.86\00:22:09.86
not based on our worth.
00:22:10.09\00:22:14.10
It was there He endured
00:22:14.46\00:22:17.90
what we deserve
00:22:18.13\00:22:22.47
for the cross held
the hope of the world
00:22:22.60\00:22:27.78
somewhere between
00:22:28.44\00:22:31.28
heaven and earth.
00:22:31.41\00:22:37.02
Stood a symbol of grace
00:22:40.46\00:22:43.59
not based on our worth.
00:22:43.83\00:22:47.83
It was there He endured
00:22:47.86\00:22:51.57
what we deserve
00:22:51.80\00:22:56.27
for a cross held
the hope of the world...
00:22:56.50\00:23:01.88
Yes, the cross held the hope
00:23:02.64\00:23:06.28
of the world...
00:23:06.51\00:23:09.45
Yes, the cross held the hope
00:23:09.48\00:23:13.19
of the world
00:23:13.42\00:23:18.59
somewhere... somewhere
00:23:18.83\00:23:22.36
between
00:23:22.40\00:23:23.90
heaven
00:23:24.13\00:23:29.10
and earth.
00:23:29.37\00:23:34.91
Suspended above
00:23:35.14\00:23:38.38
the world that He made
00:23:38.81\00:23:42.98
and below
00:23:43.22\00:23:45.32
His home
00:23:45.45\00:23:47.12
in the sky...
00:23:47.39\00:23:53.43
Amen!
00:24:00.07\00:24:01.67
We're so blessed to be with you
00:24:05.21\00:24:06.91
the second
night of Camp Meeting.
00:24:06.94\00:24:08.38
Are you glad
you're here tonight? Amen!
00:24:08.51\00:24:10.51
It's going to be an
incredible, incredible night.
00:24:10.75\00:24:12.71
It does not matter
00:24:20.76\00:24:24.33
where you started.
00:24:24.69\00:24:28.20
But friend, it matters
00:24:28.63\00:24:32.60
where you end.
00:24:32.93\00:24:36.10
We're all walking
00:24:36.84\00:24:40.88
toward forever
00:24:41.01\00:24:44.31
and there's only one road
00:24:44.75\00:24:48.72
that leads to Him.
00:24:48.75\00:24:51.69
The way is straight,
00:24:52.79\00:24:56.59
the path is narrow,
00:24:56.93\00:25:00.73
and though sometimes
00:25:00.96\00:25:03.77
it seems we walk alone,
00:25:03.90\00:25:08.00
but an unseen hand
00:25:08.34\00:25:12.34
is there to lead us.
00:25:12.57\00:25:16.38
Just follow Jesus...
00:25:16.71\00:25:20.32
He knows the way home.
00:25:20.65\00:25:25.05
He never said
00:25:32.33\00:25:35.96
we would not suffer.
00:25:36.30\00:25:40.07
And He never said
00:25:40.40\00:25:44.01
that we'd fail no more.
00:25:44.24\00:25:48.41
He never said
00:25:48.74\00:25:52.45
we're spared the battle.
00:25:52.68\00:25:56.32
But He said He's already
00:25:56.89\00:26:01.02
won the war.
00:26:01.16\00:26:04.66
The way is straight,
00:26:04.99\00:26:08.60
the path is narrow,
00:26:08.83\00:26:12.83
and though sometimes
00:26:13.07\00:26:15.74
it seems we walk alone,
00:26:15.97\00:26:20.24
but an unseen hand
00:26:20.38\00:26:24.15
is there to lead us.
00:26:24.48\00:26:28.35
Just follow Jesus...
00:26:28.68\00:26:32.39
He knows the way home.
00:26:32.72\00:26:36.46
The way is straight,
00:26:36.69\00:26:40.50
the path is narrow,
00:26:40.73\00:26:44.67
and though sometimes
00:26:44.90\00:26:47.74
it seems we walk alone,
00:26:47.87\00:26:52.07
but an unseen hand
00:26:52.41\00:26:56.14
is there to lead us.
00:26:56.48\00:27:00.38
Just follow Jesus...
00:27:00.52\00:27:04.32
He knows the way home...
00:27:04.65\00:27:08.42
Just follow Jesus...
00:27:08.66\00:27:13.46
He knows the way
00:27:14.93\00:27:18.23
home.
00:27:18.53\00:27:24.61
Amen!
00:27:24.84\00:27:26.21
Thank you so much.
00:27:28.88\00:27:29.98
We about a year ago or
maybe a little over a year ago
00:27:30.01\00:27:32.35
were afforded the
opportunity to do a live concert
00:27:32.48\00:27:35.52
right here at 3ABN
right here on this stage.
00:27:35.55\00:27:38.25
And the title of the DVD
was called Thank You Lord.
00:27:38.69\00:27:43.29
It's a little song that we wrote
00:27:43.43\00:27:44.79
that our 11-year-old
son sings the lead on.
00:27:44.93\00:27:47.86
And if it'd be OK with you
guys, we'd love to bring him out
00:27:48.26\00:27:51.20
and sing the lead on this song.
00:27:51.33\00:27:54.14
I'd like to just say a
little bit about the song.
00:27:54.37\00:27:56.64
Here's Bret.
00:27:56.97\00:27:58.51
Say hay everybody. Hay.
00:28:00.78\00:28:02.91
This song... We wrote
this song because at night
00:28:04.21\00:28:07.18
we would say our prayers and we
would say: "OK, let's think of
00:28:07.32\00:28:10.49
three things we're
thankful for or grateful for. "
00:28:10.62\00:28:13.69
And I just started thinking:
you know, there's so many things
00:28:13.82\00:28:15.99
that are going on in the
world that are tough right now
00:28:16.02\00:28:18.29
for so many people, right?
00:28:18.33\00:28:20.00
We have so many things,
and so many times in my life
00:28:20.33\00:28:23.10
I'll think: "Ah, the
car didn't start today. "
00:28:23.23\00:28:25.30
You know, but I
forget that I have a car.
00:28:25.53\00:28:27.57
You know, and I started
trying to think what can I
00:28:27.80\00:28:29.77
look in my life. There are
things that we're all lacking
00:28:29.80\00:28:32.04
or things that are hard or
tough trials that we're going
00:28:32.27\00:28:34.78
through right
now. I know you are.
00:28:34.81\00:28:36.68
Maybe some of you out
there are going through really
00:28:36.91\00:28:39.05
hard hard times. But we wanted
to teach him gratefulness.
00:28:39.28\00:28:42.28
We wanted to say: "What can
we be thankful for tonight? "
00:28:42.42\00:28:44.95
"What could we tell God
we're so thankful for? "
00:28:45.19\00:28:47.42
And that's how this song
came about: Thank you, Lord.
00:28:47.56\00:28:49.72
Hearing you say that
I have to tell you that
00:28:49.76\00:28:51.09
you know a lot of times
when mom is in a studio session
00:28:51.23\00:28:54.30
or something, I'm putting him to
bed. He'll say something like:
00:28:54.36\00:28:56.97
"What are we
grateful for, thankful for? "
00:28:57.20\00:28:58.87
And he will always... of
course, number one is mom.
00:28:59.00\00:29:02.84
Mama. Always number one,
right ladies? Not lately.
00:29:03.27\00:29:07.28
Amen? Amen! Number two
is... It's a cross between
00:29:07.41\00:29:12.78
grandmother and
papa or Beauty our dog.
00:29:12.81\00:29:15.02
And number three could be a
number of things which usually
00:29:17.82\00:29:20.52
is not daddy included.
00:29:20.56\00:29:21.89
I don't know. It's
becoming daddy a lot lately.
00:29:21.92\00:29:23.73
This age is
looking more about daddy.
00:29:23.76\00:29:25.49
But this is a great song,
and I just think we call can be
00:29:25.73\00:29:28.30
thankful for something.
And I think you will know this.
00:29:28.33\00:29:30.20
Very simple. By the end of
it you can sing along with us.
00:29:30.33\00:29:32.57
It goes like this:
00:29:32.60\00:29:34.07
For all the countless ways
00:29:49.72\00:29:53.02
You have blessed me all my days,
00:29:53.25\00:29:56.83
Father, let me pause to say
00:29:57.16\00:30:00.50
I give You thanks.
00:30:00.73\00:30:04.00
For the life You've given me,
00:30:04.43\00:30:07.97
for my friends, my family,
00:30:08.30\00:30:12.27
for every wonder I have seen
00:30:12.51\00:30:15.68
I give You thanks...
00:30:15.91\00:30:18.88
I give You thanks.
00:30:19.11\00:30:23.72
Thank you, Lord.
00:30:24.05\00:30:29.89
Thank you, Lord.
00:30:31.73\00:30:37.43
For all You've
00:30:38.80\00:30:42.80
done for me
00:30:43.04\00:30:46.17
I thank you, Lord.
00:30:46.51\00:30:52.15
Amen!
00:30:52.45\00:30:54.62
For Your guidance
through the years,
00:31:09.43\00:31:13.10
for Your
presence through my fears,
00:31:13.44\00:31:16.84
for all the joys
and, yes, the tears
00:31:17.07\00:31:20.51
I give You thanks.
00:31:20.78\00:31:23.48
For the
faithfulness You've shown
00:31:24.81\00:31:28.55
as I face each dark unknown
00:31:29.02\00:31:32.65
I have never, never been alone
00:31:32.99\00:31:36.29
I give You thanks...
00:31:36.52\00:31:38.99
Lord, I give You thanks.
00:31:39.13\00:31:42.40
Thank you,
00:31:44.13\00:31:47.74
Lord.
00:31:48.00\00:31:51.24
Thank you, Lord.
00:31:51.94\00:31:57.98
For all You've
00:31:58.91\00:32:03.02
done for me
00:32:03.25\00:32:06.35
I thank you, Lord.
00:32:06.59\00:32:12.59
Sing with us... We thank you...
00:32:12.63\00:32:14.30
We thank you, Lord.
00:32:14.40\00:32:19.57
Lord, we thank you.
00:32:19.70\00:32:21.90
Thank you, Lord,
00:32:22.24\00:32:27.68
for all You've done.
00:32:27.71\00:32:29.54
For all You've
00:32:29.68\00:32:33.45
done for us
00:32:33.58\00:32:36.95
we thank you, Lord.
00:32:37.19\00:32:42.92
For all You've done...
00:32:42.96\00:32:45.39
For all You've
00:32:45.43\00:32:48.80
done for us
00:32:49.03\00:32:53.27
we thank you,
00:32:53.50\00:32:59.34
Lord.
00:32:59.57\00:33:05.58
Thank you so much.
00:33:11.72\00:33:13.09
Gonna do one last song for you.
00:33:13.52\00:33:15.99
Just know that there's
always hope in the Lord.
00:33:16.32\00:33:20.80
Always hope in the Lord.
00:33:21.06\00:33:23.67
When I am down
00:33:30.94\00:33:33.48
and oh my soul so weary.
00:33:34.41\00:33:38.31
When troubles come
00:33:38.55\00:33:42.62
and my heart burdened be.
00:33:43.45\00:33:47.62
And I am still and
wait here in the silence
00:33:49.12\00:33:55.06
until you come
00:33:56.20\00:33:59.27
and sit a while with me.
00:33:59.70\00:34:03.44
You raise me up
00:34:05.74\00:34:08.94
so I can stand on mountains;
00:34:09.08\00:34:13.08
You raise me up
00:34:15.12\00:34:17.99
to walk on stormy seas.
00:34:18.02\00:34:22.29
And I am strong
00:34:22.42\00:34:27.40
when I am on Your shoulders.
00:34:27.56\00:34:32.47
You raise me up
00:34:33.67\00:34:36.27
to more than I can be.
00:34:37.31\00:34:43.35
Thank you, Lord.
00:35:06.03\00:35:09.14
You raise me up
00:35:15.71\00:35:19.48
so I can stand on mountains;
00:35:19.61\00:35:23.59
You raise me up
00:35:23.92\00:35:27.39
to walk on stormy seas.
00:35:27.42\00:35:31.09
And I am strong
00:35:31.79\00:35:36.26
when I am on Your shoulders.
00:35:36.30\00:35:41.10
You raise me up
00:35:41.84\00:35:44.21
to more than I
00:35:44.44\00:35:46.91
can be.
00:35:47.51\00:35:52.85
There is no life...
00:35:52.98\00:35:56.62
no life without its hunger.
00:35:56.89\00:36:01.16
Each restless heart
00:36:01.39\00:36:03.73
beats so imperfectly.
00:36:04.06\00:36:09.46
But then You come
00:36:09.60\00:36:12.90
and I am filled with wonder.
00:36:13.03\00:36:18.07
Sometimes I think
00:36:18.31\00:36:20.61
I glimpse eternity.
00:36:20.74\00:36:24.45
You raise me up
00:36:24.91\00:36:29.08
so I can stand on mountains;
00:36:29.12\00:36:33.86
You raise me up
00:36:34.09\00:36:37.33
to walk on stormy seas.
00:36:37.36\00:36:40.96
And I am strong
00:36:41.30\00:36:44.33
when I am on Your shoulders.
00:36:44.47\00:36:50.04
You raise me up
00:36:50.71\00:36:53.44
to more than I can be...
00:36:54.58\00:37:00.55
Lord, you raise me up
00:37:02.88\00:37:07.89
to more than I can
00:37:09.12\00:37:13.50
be.
00:37:17.30\00:37:23.27
All right. Praise the
Lord! Come here just a second.
00:37:33.72\00:37:36.65
I thought you were
going to do one more.
00:37:36.79\00:37:38.29
Maybe if there's time
we'll get you to do another one
00:37:38.32\00:37:40.09
here a little later, all right?
00:37:40.12\00:37:41.46
As Reggie
mentioned, they did a DVD.
00:37:42.49\00:37:45.23
It's the most... Really,
it's the most incredible DVD
00:37:45.36\00:37:47.66
I've ever heard. I've
been blessed by 20-some songs.
00:37:47.66\00:37:51.67
They have them for those
of you here. In the booth
00:37:51.90\00:37:54.34
they're available tonight.
When we're doing programs
00:37:54.37\00:37:57.07
a lot of times you just
sing on Sabbath so we don't...
00:37:57.11\00:37:59.47
we aren't able to promote your
product. But what a blessing!
00:37:59.51\00:38:02.68
Those of you that's received
the blessing, you want to go
00:38:02.81\00:38:05.15
home and hear these
songs again and again
00:38:05.18\00:38:06.92
or share them with friends
that weren't able to make it.
00:38:07.05\00:38:09.58
They have CDs; they have DVDs.
00:38:09.92\00:38:12.29
And we're just so thankful
to be able to work with you
00:38:12.42\00:38:15.49
literally back here.
There's just such an anointing.
00:38:15.62\00:38:18.13
I don't know about
you but I have chill bumps
00:38:18.26\00:38:19.89
hearing them and
watching them sing
00:38:20.13\00:38:22.33
and it's hard to
hold back the tears.
00:38:22.36\00:38:24.17
That's a foretaste of what
heaven is going to be like.
00:38:24.40\00:38:26.60
I mean, and I hate to... I'm
not trying to brag on you guys,
00:38:26.84\00:38:30.27
but your voices
are just incredible!
00:38:30.31\00:38:32.34
And I don't know...
I always stand amazed
00:38:32.57\00:38:35.64
but the thing that
makes it so great for me
00:38:35.78\00:38:38.95
is they have humility.
They give God all the credit
00:38:39.08\00:38:42.42
and there's an anointing
on your music. So thank you.
00:38:42.65\00:38:45.35
We love you; God bless you.
00:38:45.59\00:38:47.16
We're looking for more music
especially Sabbath morning.
00:38:47.29\00:38:50.09
We're doing a brand
new second coming project.
00:38:50.23\00:38:52.63
They'll be
singing songs on there.
00:38:52.86\00:38:55.03
Amazing songs, and the one
that's Dotti Rambo: We Shall
00:38:55.36\00:38:59.17
Behold Him. They're
going to be doing that
00:38:59.20\00:39:01.57
and some new songs.
And 2 or 3 that you wrote
00:39:01.60\00:39:04.04
that are amazing. We're looking
forward to you all singing them.
00:39:04.17\00:39:06.74
So thank you so much; God
bless you for what you do.
00:39:06.88\00:39:09.11
Now we're going to bring
out our friend C.A. Murray.
00:39:09.34\00:39:11.91
Pastor Murray. And C.A.
came here I don't know...
00:39:12.15\00:39:16.28
It's been how many years since
you came here to southern IL?
00:39:16.42\00:39:18.85
Workin' on ten.
Working on ten years?
00:39:18.99\00:39:21.29
And C.A. is a wonderful
pastor, incredible pastor.
00:39:21.62\00:39:25.56
He's an incredible friend.
00:39:25.83\00:39:27.56
What we didn't really know was
that he has ability and a gift,
00:39:27.66\00:39:31.77
an anointing to sing also.
00:39:31.90\00:39:33.40
So every now and then we get him
out from all of the other hats
00:39:33.74\00:39:36.71
that he wears. That's...
I won't say anything...
00:39:36.74\00:39:39.44
Somebody commented, said:
"Well he doesn't have any hair.
00:39:39.57\00:39:41.81
He has too many
hats. " It's not true.
00:39:41.84\00:39:43.58
Not true. He might even
have some if he grew it out,
00:39:43.91\00:39:46.98
I don't know. But C.A.
is one of the most talented
00:39:47.12\00:39:50.49
individuals I've ever had
the privilege of working with.
00:39:50.52\00:39:53.66
A brilliant guy, and I say that
from the bottom of my heart.
00:39:53.89\00:39:56.79
We kid each other;
we have a lot of fun.
00:39:56.93\00:39:58.49
But even when we're
not working here together
00:39:58.76\00:40:02.10
we'll do things
together as families, don't we?
00:40:02.23\00:40:04.17
We like to go to places.
Went to Cave-In-Rock recently
00:40:04.20\00:40:06.53
down on the Ohio and
had a wonderful time.
00:40:06.67\00:40:08.77
Thank you for your ministry
and your love for Jesus.
00:40:08.80\00:40:11.84
I know what it's like
00:40:36.10\00:40:40.37
to think of things I've done
00:40:40.60\00:40:45.11
and want to run and hide
00:40:45.54\00:40:49.91
my head in shame.
00:40:50.05\00:40:54.75
I know what it's like
00:40:55.72\00:40:59.35
to really hurt someone
00:40:59.69\00:41:04.36
and feel no sense of sorrow
00:41:04.69\00:41:09.16
at their pain.
00:41:09.40\00:41:14.24
Oh, but I know what it's like
00:41:14.57\00:41:17.97
to have enough of my disgrace
00:41:18.21\00:41:23.45
and find because of Jesus' blood
00:41:23.68\00:41:28.52
my sin can be erased.
00:41:28.75\00:41:34.72
He has
00:41:35.02\00:41:39.49
forgiven me.
00:41:39.83\00:41:44.27
My sin has been washed
00:41:44.60\00:41:48.84
from His memory.
00:41:49.07\00:41:53.98
By the blood of the Lamb
00:41:54.41\00:41:59.38
of Calvary
00:41:59.61\00:42:04.59
He has
00:42:06.22\00:42:10.99
forgiven me.
00:42:11.39\00:42:17.43
Do you know what it's like
00:42:18.57\00:42:22.64
for God to be your friend?
00:42:22.87\00:42:27.31
To talk to Him
00:42:27.94\00:42:30.55
with nothing in between?
00:42:30.68\00:42:36.69
Do you know what it's like
00:42:37.72\00:42:41.52
when your day comes to an end
00:42:41.66\00:42:46.76
to sleep in peace
00:42:47.20\00:42:49.66
all because your heart is clean?
00:42:49.80\00:42:55.77
Do you know what it's like
00:42:56.84\00:43:00.08
when the accuser comes your way
00:43:00.41\00:43:05.58
to look him squarely in the eye
00:43:05.71\00:43:10.55
with confidence and say:
00:43:10.69\00:43:16.76
He has
00:43:20.93\00:43:25.40
forgiven me.
00:43:25.63\00:43:30.07
My sins have been washed
00:43:30.34\00:43:34.88
from His memory.
00:43:35.11\00:43:39.78
By the blood of the Lamb
00:43:40.22\00:43:45.25
of Calvary
00:43:45.62\00:43:50.23
He has
00:43:50.53\00:43:54.36
forgiven me.
00:43:54.50\00:43:59.47
He has
00:43:59.90\00:44:03.91
forgiven me.
00:44:04.14\00:44:08.38
My sin has been washed
00:44:08.61\00:44:13.21
from His memory.
00:44:13.45\00:44:17.99
By the blood of the Lamb
00:44:18.42\00:44:23.46
of Calvary
00:44:23.79\00:44:28.50
He has
00:44:28.73\00:44:32.77
forgiven me.
00:44:33.17\00:44:39.21
By the blood of the Lamb
00:44:39.57\00:44:45.01
of Calvary
00:44:45.91\00:44:50.99
He has
00:44:52.32\00:44:57.53
forgiven
00:44:57.76\00:45:01.56
me.
00:45:01.83\00:45:07.97
Amen.
00:45:13.21\00:45:15.94
Amen? My brother from New York.
00:45:17.58\00:45:21.05
It's so wonderful to be blessed
by the ministry of music,
00:45:22.68\00:45:25.32
is it not? And it is a
preparation for the ministry
00:45:25.45\00:45:28.52
of the Word. And you
don't want to go anywhere.
00:45:28.56\00:45:30.93
Pastor Carlton
Byrd is here tonight.
00:45:30.96\00:45:33.13
He's going to be the next voice
you hear after these songs.
00:45:33.46\00:45:36.00
And then they left me for 9
o'clock, so don't go anywhere.
00:45:36.33\00:45:39.47
I'd like to invite Mike
and Celestine Barry to come out
00:45:40.50\00:45:43.54
right now. We've
got probably one of the
00:45:43.57\00:45:46.04
only Filipino-Italian
connections in the world.
00:45:46.07\00:45:48.54
And come on out
Mike and Celestine.
00:45:48.98\00:45:51.18
And Celestine and Mike
moved to Thompsonville from
00:45:51.31\00:45:55.42
Chicago a few years ago.
00:45:55.55\00:45:57.79
Came down here by the invitation
of one of our church members
00:45:58.02\00:46:01.02
Rosemary Marlowe.
And they decided to stay.
00:46:01.16\00:46:05.16
They have two children
that are in our church school.
00:46:05.29\00:46:07.36
And I have the privilege of
having Celestine as my secretary
00:46:07.50\00:46:11.93
and Mike as my Italian brother.
00:46:11.97\00:46:14.50
We have brother
from a different mother.
00:46:14.54\00:46:16.37
But they're going to
bless you tonight with a song,
00:46:16.50\00:46:17.87
and I know you're
going to be blessed.
00:46:18.01\00:46:19.21
I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel.
00:46:19.44\00:46:22.21
We're an anchor for those
00:46:36.66\00:46:39.83
who are hurting
00:46:40.26\00:46:43.57
and we're a harbor for those
00:46:44.37\00:46:47.90
who are lost,
00:46:48.24\00:46:51.47
Sometimes it's not always easy
00:46:52.51\00:46:58.11
bearing Calvary's cross...
00:46:58.45\00:47:04.02
We've been ridiculed by those
00:47:06.62\00:47:10.26
who don't know Him
00:47:10.49\00:47:13.80
and mocked by those
00:47:14.00\00:47:16.83
who don't believe...
00:47:16.97\00:47:20.37
Still I love standing up
00:47:20.70\00:47:23.61
for my Jesus
00:47:23.84\00:47:26.91
'cause of all
that He's done for me.
00:47:27.91\00:47:32.98
That's why I am not ashamed
00:47:33.42\00:47:37.79
of the gospel...
00:47:38.02\00:47:40.92
the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:47:41.92\00:47:46.93
No, I am not ashamed
00:47:47.93\00:47:51.67
to be counted:
00:47:51.90\00:47:54.57
I am willing to give my life.
00:47:55.57\00:48:00.98
See I'm ready to be
00:48:01.51\00:48:04.98
all He wants me to be.
00:48:05.21\00:48:09.45
Give up the wrong for the right.
00:48:09.92\00:48:15.09
No, I am not ashamed
00:48:15.42\00:48:18.83
of the gospel...
00:48:19.06\00:48:21.66
No, I am not ashamed
00:48:22.00\00:48:25.47
of the gospel
00:48:25.70\00:48:27.67
of Jesus Christ.
00:48:27.90\00:48:33.91
For every moment
00:48:40.42\00:48:43.59
His hand has held mercy
00:48:43.82\00:48:48.06
and for all the love
00:48:48.29\00:48:50.46
that He's shown all my life,
00:48:50.69\00:48:55.13
A simple thanks doesn't say
00:48:55.16\00:48:59.27
how I'm feeling...
00:48:59.40\00:49:01.94
I get tears
00:49:02.17\00:49:05.44
in my eyes.
00:49:05.67\00:49:08.68
Well as for me,
I'm going to keep on
00:49:08.81\00:49:13.82
believing in the One
00:49:14.05\00:49:18.05
who's been so faithful to me.
00:49:18.19\00:49:23.22
I'm not out to
please the whole world
00:49:23.46\00:49:27.66
around me,
00:49:27.83\00:49:29.76
I've got my mind on eternity!
00:49:30.00\00:49:36.00
That's why I am not ashamed
00:49:36.37\00:49:40.14
of the gospel...
00:49:40.38\00:49:43.58
yes, the gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:49:43.81\00:49:49.28
No, I am not ashamed
00:49:49.92\00:49:53.66
to be counted
00:49:53.92\00:49:56.83
and I'm willing to give my life.
00:49:57.16\00:50:02.93
You see, I'm ready to be
00:50:03.26\00:50:06.50
all He wants me to be
00:50:06.77\00:50:11.34
and give up the
wrong for the right.
00:50:11.57\00:50:16.41
No, I am not ashamed
00:50:16.75\00:50:19.98
of the gospel...
00:50:20.22\00:50:22.65
No, I am not ashamed
00:50:22.98\00:50:26.42
of the gospel of Jesus
00:50:26.65\00:50:31.03
Christ.
00:50:31.16\00:50:33.83
Oh, oh, oh.
00:50:34.36\00:50:39.77
No, I am not ashamed
00:50:42.10\00:50:45.47
of the gospel...
00:50:45.61\00:50:48.04
No, I am not ashamed
00:50:48.38\00:50:51.68
of the gospel...
00:50:51.91\00:50:54.05
I've got too much behind me
00:50:54.28\00:51:00.09
to let this world blind me.
00:51:00.12\00:51:03.29
To some He's just a name
00:51:03.43\00:51:05.86
but to me He's my everything.
00:51:06.09\00:51:10.07
I am not ashamed
00:51:10.40\00:51:12.33
of the gospel...
00:51:12.47\00:51:15.17
No, I am not ashamed
00:51:15.50\00:51:18.71
of the gospel...
00:51:18.74\00:51:21.01
No, I am not ashamed
00:51:21.24\00:51:25.78
of the gospel
00:51:26.01\00:51:29.75
of Jesus
00:51:31.05\00:51:35.32
Christ.
00:51:36.19\00:51:39.83
Amen.
00:51:47.30\00:51:48.67
Thank you Celestine and Michael.
00:51:49.10\00:51:50.77
They are not ashamed of the
gospel and they are such a great
00:51:51.21\00:51:54.08
help. They're from the local
area. Moved here some time ago.
00:51:54.11\00:51:57.28
What an asset and what talents
00:51:57.41\00:51:59.31
that we have. It's
great to have them here.
00:51:59.35\00:52:00.88
Speaking of that, we
have Pastor John Lomacang.
00:52:01.02\00:52:03.59
And we only have a few
more minutes. I won't do a lot
00:52:03.92\00:52:06.35
of talking but I could talk
a long time about what a great
00:52:06.39\00:52:08.92
friend: a pastor, a Christian.
00:52:09.06\00:52:11.49
And just love and
appreciate you, too, John.
00:52:11.63\00:52:14.40
Thank you for what you
do for the cause of God.
00:52:14.56\00:52:16.56
Thank you, Danny.
That's from his heart.
00:52:16.70\00:52:18.80
I do believe that.
00:52:18.93\00:52:20.14
Reggie and Ladye, come on
out. Just join me real quickly.
00:52:20.37\00:52:23.27
We just decided to do something
together. This is a solo
00:52:23.61\00:52:28.68
but I figure why - when
I have such good singers
00:52:28.91\00:52:31.65
with me - and do
this song as a solo?
00:52:31.78\00:52:34.92
You might feel
differently after this.
00:52:35.05\00:52:36.32
Oh, we're going to be fine. You
know there are things in life
00:52:36.35\00:52:38.92
we don't understand
but as the songwriter said
00:52:38.95\00:52:41.39
Farther along
we'll know all about it.
00:52:41.62\00:52:43.96
Farther along
00:52:51.33\00:52:56.24
we'll
00:52:56.37\00:52:58.37
know all
00:52:58.81\00:53:00.78
about it.
00:53:00.91\00:53:06.11
Farther along
00:53:06.35\00:53:12.12
we'll
00:53:12.35\00:53:14.39
understand why.
00:53:14.82\00:53:18.96
Turn to your neighbor
and say these two words:
00:53:18.99\00:53:20.26
"Cheer up" Are you ready?
00:53:20.40\00:53:21.46
Cheer up
00:53:22.30\00:53:24.20
my brother...
00:53:24.33\00:53:29.97
and live in
00:53:30.21\00:53:32.37
the sunshine.
00:53:32.41\00:53:37.68
We'll understand
00:53:38.01\00:53:43.72
it
00:53:43.75\00:53:46.22
all by and by.
00:53:46.45\00:53:52.53
When we see Jesus...
00:53:54.60\00:54:00.64
see Him coming
00:54:02.04\00:54:04.34
in glory,
00:54:04.47\00:54:08.88
When He comes from
00:54:10.18\00:54:16.12
our... our home in
00:54:16.25\00:54:20.06
the sky - Oh yes, He will -
00:54:20.39\00:54:25.69
Then we will
00:54:26.23\00:54:28.96
meet Him
00:54:29.00\00:54:32.93
in all His glory,
00:54:34.14\00:54:40.18
We'll understand
00:54:41.84\00:54:47.78
it all by and by.
00:54:47.82\00:54:53.72
Come on Camp Meeting,
let's sing the song together.
00:54:53.86\00:54:55.82
Are we ready? Here we go:
00:54:55.86\00:54:56.96
Farther along
00:54:57.83\00:55:03.33
we'll
00:55:03.57\00:55:05.47
know all about it.
00:55:05.70\00:55:11.47
Oh yes we will.
00:55:11.51\00:55:13.31
And farther along
00:55:13.34\00:55:19.11
we'll... we're gonna
00:55:19.25\00:55:21.75
understand why.
00:55:21.92\00:55:26.09
Tell your neighbor
one more time to cheer up.
00:55:26.32\00:55:28.36
Are you ready? Cheer up
00:55:28.39\00:55:31.19
my brother - and my sister -
00:55:31.36\00:55:36.40
and let's live in the
00:55:36.43\00:55:40.14
sunshine.
00:55:40.17\00:55:44.74
We'll understand
00:55:45.51\00:55:51.11
it
00:55:51.15\00:55:53.25
all by and by.
00:55:53.48\00:55:58.09
Oh yes we will now...
00:55:58.22\00:56:01.02
We'll understand
00:56:01.46\00:56:07.03
it
00:56:07.13\00:56:09.43
all by and by...
00:56:09.66\00:56:15.70
all by and
00:56:17.54\00:56:21.24
by.
00:56:21.38\00:56:27.25
Amen! Danny, it's yours.
00:56:27.48\00:56:30.59
Oh, it's mine? All right.
00:56:31.02\00:56:33.72
Praise the Lord!
00:56:33.76\00:56:37.33
I think Pastor Byrd is
going to "throw down. "
00:56:37.76\00:56:42.96
I asked him to warm
up the pulpit for me.
00:56:43.40\00:56:46.47
I think we warmed it up for him.
00:56:46.60\00:56:48.27
So don't go anywhere.
Praise the Lord. You know what?
00:56:48.70\00:56:50.74
We will understand it
better by and by. Amen!
00:56:50.87\00:56:53.27
Sometimes trials
and tribulations come;
00:56:53.44\00:56:55.98
it doesn't make any sense.
00:56:56.01\00:56:57.28
But God is still God in
the midst of all of that.
00:56:57.41\00:56:59.91
What do you say? Amen!
00:56:59.95\00:57:01.35
Sometimes disappointments come.
00:57:01.38\00:57:02.75
Sometimes our plans are
interrupted and it has no
00:57:02.78\00:57:06.39
explanation for that's part
of the prerogative of being God.
00:57:06.52\00:57:10.06
God is still God in the
midst of our difficulties.
00:57:10.19\00:57:12.73
So if you're tuning in to
this program wondering where
00:57:13.16\00:57:16.00
the hope is found in the
midst of all this darkness
00:57:16.03\00:57:18.30
don't try to
make sense out of it.
00:57:18.63\00:57:20.74
You'll understand it
better all by and by.
00:57:20.87\00:57:23.54
Keep trusting the Lord
and when you make the kingdom
00:57:23.67\00:57:26.47
it'll all be clear
at the feet of Jesus.
00:57:26.61\00:57:29.18
Praise the Lord? Amen!
00:57:29.91\00:57:32.05
