Good evening and
welcome to the... Now we've been
00:00:49.41\00:00:52.78
segmenting our day.
We've had Happy Sabbath
00:00:52.98\00:00:55.32
good morning,
Happy Sabbath worship,
00:00:55.52\00:00:57.89
Happy Sabbath after lunch,
00:00:58.19\00:00:59.95
now it's Happy
Sabbath after dinner.
00:01:00.16\00:01:03.02
OK, Amen, Praise the Lord!
00:01:03.22\00:01:04.66
So we welcome you to the
second to the final program.
00:01:05.06\00:01:07.96
This is the... the
word is the "penultimate. "
00:01:08.16\00:01:10.40
It's the penulitmate program.
00:01:10.60\00:01:12.40
Second to the last it
simply means. I never heard that
00:01:12.60\00:01:14.60
word before. The penultimate.
Has a nice ring to it...
00:01:14.80\00:01:17.94
the penultimate
program. Is that a black word?
00:01:18.14\00:01:19.94
Or is that? 'Cause I didn't...
00:01:20.14\00:01:21.91
No, that's in
Webster's dictionary.
00:01:22.74\00:01:24.51
He wasn't black. Was he
black? No. Oh I don't know.
00:01:24.71\00:01:27.62
All right. Forget I
said anything. All right.
00:01:27.82\00:01:30.69
As you can see,
once the sun goes down
00:01:32.05\00:01:35.59
we get a little
silly around here.
00:01:35.79\00:01:37.13
I don't know if it's the
food. And I think it's because
00:01:37.16\00:01:39.29
there are two things. One
is when you love the people
00:01:39.59\00:01:42.70
that you work with - um-hmm
- and two, when you love Jesus.
00:01:42.90\00:01:45.57
All right. So it makes
coming to work a pleasure
00:01:45.77\00:01:49.97
and a joy. Yes. One,
you know you're involved in
00:01:50.17\00:01:52.57
something
that's bigger than you.
00:01:52.77\00:01:54.14
Two, you know you're involved
in something with people
00:01:54.54\00:01:56.81
who understand that the work of
God is THE most important work
00:01:57.01\00:02:01.15
in the world. Yes.
Television is stressful
00:02:01.35\00:02:04.45
because it's deadline driven,
00:02:04.75\00:02:06.65
it's a lot of work, and
it comes every day at you
00:02:06.86\00:02:09.32
something brand new. You
can't put it on autopilot.
00:02:09.52\00:02:11.99
Each day is new. So when
you're working with people
00:02:12.19\00:02:14.90
who love the Lord
AND who are quick to say
00:02:15.10\00:02:16.97
"I'm sorry" when
they make a mistake. Amen?
00:02:17.17\00:02:19.40
Amen! Then it makes
the work so much pleasure.
00:02:19.60\00:02:22.80
And then on top of that
the cherry on the sundae
00:02:23.00\00:02:25.34
is you see the blessing of God.
00:02:25.54\00:02:27.51
Because the
blessings are? On the "GO! "
00:02:27.71\00:02:30.55
On the "GO! " and we
praise the Lord for it.
00:02:30.75\00:02:32.35
You know what somebody
told me this afternoon?
00:02:32.55\00:02:34.42
I hope it's true.
Somebody out here.
00:02:34.62\00:02:36.65
There, he's raising his
hand. Said he preached a sermon
00:02:36.85\00:02:39.05
on the "GO! " and he looked
up where the word go came from
00:02:39.25\00:02:43.19
and it was general's orders.
00:02:43.39\00:02:45.73
Um-hmm. That's pretty
good. I hope that's true now.
00:02:45.93\00:02:48.93
If it's not,
you'll get the blame.
00:02:49.13\00:02:50.47
But doesn't that sound good?
00:02:50.50\00:02:51.83
It does sound good!
The General's orders:
00:02:51.87\00:02:53.20
"Go ye into all the world. "
00:02:53.34\00:02:54.74
All right. And Jesus
is our General, Danny.
00:02:54.94\00:02:57.74
Absolutely. And we
are blessed when we go.
00:02:57.94\00:03:01.64
Pastor John Lomacang,
C.A. Murray, Yvonne Lewis,
00:03:01.84\00:03:04.91
Danny Shelton, and
Sr. Darla from NAPS.
00:03:05.11\00:03:08.05
Darla, you guys...
Tell us just a quick minute,
00:03:08.25\00:03:12.15
I know you talked earlier today,
00:03:12.35\00:03:14.62
but NAPS, you know,
unashamedly is my favorite group
00:03:14.82\00:03:18.26
of young people in the
world because of what they do
00:03:18.46\00:03:20.83
for Jesus
around the world. Amen!
00:03:21.03\00:03:23.10
And you start with nothing
and create something beautiful
00:03:23.30\00:03:25.93
because you come in
the name of the Lord.
00:03:26.13\00:03:27.47
So thank all of
you for what you do
00:03:27.60\00:03:29.50
and what you've been
doing for so many years
00:03:29.74\00:03:31.74
for the cause of God.
Usually there's something
00:03:31.94\00:03:33.88
we can help you with.
What are your needs right now?
00:03:34.08\00:03:38.01
I know you talked a
little bit about it.
00:03:38.21\00:03:39.78
But I want our folk around
the world to listen closely
00:03:39.98\00:03:43.49
and see if the Holy Spirit
kind of whispers in your ear
00:03:43.69\00:03:46.09
to help the NAPS
group financially.
00:03:46.39\00:03:48.86
Not just
prayerfully, financially.
00:03:49.06\00:03:50.76
What have you got going?
Umm. Danny, God is so good.
00:03:50.96\00:03:54.90
The wonderful
thing about our Father
00:03:55.30\00:03:58.43
is He knows how
to supply our needs.
00:03:58.63\00:04:01.17
And I want to say right
now as we've been working
00:04:02.07\00:04:05.97
the work is only expanding.
00:04:06.27\00:04:09.18
So NAPS started
with just a few students
00:04:09.38\00:04:12.25
wanting to feed some
homeless people under a bridge
00:04:12.45\00:04:15.05
and it has grown to where
we do international missions.
00:04:15.45\00:04:18.45
But recently God showed
us that there was an area
00:04:18.85\00:04:22.09
in Alabama where
there were people
00:04:22.29\00:04:25.43
living in what is called the
worst area for raising a child.
00:04:25.83\00:04:31.27
It's a black area
in terms of Adventism.
00:04:32.27\00:04:35.20
People do not...
They do not know the truth
00:04:35.40\00:04:38.34
that is found
in the Word of God.
00:04:38.54\00:04:40.38
And not only that,
education is suffering.
00:04:40.98\00:04:44.58
Spiritual is suffering.
But the people are even dying
00:04:44.78\00:04:49.55
physically. And so we
started up a wellness center.
00:04:49.75\00:04:52.75
But this wellness center,
it's not... NAPS has changed.
00:04:53.15\00:04:56.29
We're growing up...
getting a little older.
00:04:56.49\00:04:59.33
We have a board
certified doctor that is there.
00:04:59.53\00:05:02.50
We have two
nurses that are there
00:05:02.70\00:05:05.13
and so they are able to
help run the wellness center.
00:05:05.33\00:05:08.34
But then as we were
working with the people there
00:05:08.74\00:05:11.37
we started to hear
the cries of the children.
00:05:11.57\00:05:13.78
Children graduating from
12th grade and cannot read.
00:05:14.88\00:05:19.75
They're doomed for failure.
00:05:20.92\00:05:22.95
Children going home to families
who maybe are alcoholics
00:05:23.79\00:05:28.52
and just drunk at all
times... even mid-day.
00:05:28.72\00:05:32.46
They don't know math;
they don't know science.
00:05:32.96\00:05:35.63
We said: "We have
to do something. "
00:05:36.03\00:05:38.00
So we started up the
NAPS Abundant Life Academy:
00:05:38.40\00:05:43.00
NALA. And this morning
you were blessed. One of the
00:05:43.20\00:05:47.28
little girls from the
school, she led the song...
00:05:47.48\00:05:50.01
one of the songs that we sang.
00:05:50.71\00:05:52.71
And right now, the
little academy is functioning
00:05:52.91\00:05:56.99
in our wellness center.
It has a little room. OK.
00:05:57.19\00:06:00.22
But God has
already opened up some land
00:06:00.42\00:06:03.83
right next to where
the wellness center is.
00:06:04.03\00:06:06.19
But it's just asking for
some of us to go and claim
00:06:06.70\00:06:10.07
some of the funds
that He has waiting for us.
00:06:10.27\00:06:12.70
We said: "NAPS is rich. We
just have to go and get it.
00:06:12.90\00:06:16.00
It's in other people's
pockets. " That's right. So, um,
00:06:16.20\00:06:18.87
right here with me I have
the Year of Dedication team.
00:06:19.37\00:06:23.71
These are all
students who for this year have
00:06:23.91\00:06:26.65
decided that they are dedicating
a full year to ministry.
00:06:26.85\00:06:30.15
And one of their goals
is raising funds to pay for
00:06:30.35\00:06:33.56
not just the land
which is about $25,000
00:06:33.76\00:06:37.63
but to also pay for the
buildings... which because we'll
00:06:38.03\00:06:41.06
OUR hands to help build
it will be about $35,000.
00:06:41.26\00:06:45.87
There is nothing
too hard for God.
00:06:46.27\00:06:48.24
These guys have
been working non-stop.
00:06:48.44\00:06:50.87
They drove all the way
from Rhode Island to get here
00:06:51.07\00:06:53.91
and tomorrow they're going
to be driving all the way to
00:06:54.11\00:06:56.61
New Jersey and back to Boston.
00:06:56.81\00:06:58.48
So it's just encouraging
knowing that this work
00:06:58.68\00:07:01.58
will be finished
but we DO need help.
00:07:01.78\00:07:03.79
We can take up the
offering easy or the hard way.
00:07:03.99\00:07:07.12
You all decide.
00:07:14.63\00:07:16.93
That's all I've got right now.
00:07:17.33\00:07:19.67
I'll give you more later
so... All right? All right.
00:07:19.87\00:07:23.81
Thank you. All right.
He's the leader of the team.
00:07:24.01\00:07:27.21
So it's up to you. My dad
said: "Son, we can do this
00:07:27.41\00:07:30.11
easy or hard now. " He
said: "I'm a lover not a fighter
00:07:30.31\00:07:33.21
but if I have to
I'm going to win. "
00:07:33.42\00:07:34.92
So there's the man.
What's your first name?
00:07:35.12\00:07:37.55
Adrian. All right.
When Adrian walks by
00:07:37.75\00:07:40.92
let's see those check books
going. All right? There you go.
00:07:41.12\00:07:43.96
Hey listen. Though we're having
fun, the presence of the Lord
00:07:44.16\00:07:47.26
is in this place, right? Yes!
00:07:47.46\00:07:48.90
We have Lisa Leanne over
here. Lisa, would you give us
00:07:49.10\00:07:51.10
a little chorus of, and we
want you all to sing with us,
00:07:51.30\00:07:53.74
right? Surely the Presence
of the Lord is in this Place.
00:07:53.94\00:07:57.21
Is it OK to have
a little bit of fun?
00:07:57.61\00:07:59.87
We're all happy, aren't we?
00:08:00.08\00:08:02.04
Here we go now:
00:08:03.98\00:08:05.45
Surely the presence
00:08:05.65\00:08:10.32
of the Lord is in this place.
00:08:10.72\00:08:15.69
I can feel His mighty power
00:08:15.89\00:08:20.86
and His grace.
00:08:21.16\00:08:26.23
I can hear the
brush of angel's wings,
00:08:26.43\00:08:31.31
I see glory on each face.
00:08:31.51\00:08:37.05
Surely the presence
00:08:37.45\00:08:41.45
of the Lord
00:08:41.85\00:08:44.25
is in this place.
00:08:44.45\00:08:47.92
I've been working with
NAPS... I don't know, it's been
00:08:48.32\00:08:50.99
15 years or longer
maybe? Twenty years?
00:08:51.19\00:08:54.56
A long time.
And these young folk
00:08:54.76\00:08:56.77
do more for the cause
of God. I'm always amazed
00:08:56.97\00:09:01.10
and God has supplied every need.
00:09:01.30\00:09:02.80
But He does it
through His people.
00:09:03.00\00:09:04.51
And so I'm asking you to really
pray and ask the Holy Spirit
00:09:04.91\00:09:07.81
what He would have you to do.
00:09:08.01\00:09:09.34
You can contact us here at
3ABN. If we had an address...
00:09:09.44\00:09:12.25
Is there a website
maybe they could go to?
00:09:12.45\00:09:14.65
Yes, we do have
a website. It is:
00:09:14.95\00:09:18.45
www.napsoc.org
00:09:18.65\00:09:24.66
www.napsoc.org
00:09:24.86\00:09:28.13
And so you can
go to the website.
00:09:28.53\00:09:30.77
If you want to donate by mail,
00:09:30.97\00:09:33.74
it's P.O. Box 11970,
00:09:33.94\00:09:37.77
Huntsville, AL 35814
00:09:37.97\00:09:41.81
And for all the
older folk like myself
00:09:42.01\00:09:43.91
you didn't get all of
that. You can always contact us
00:09:44.31\00:09:46.95
here at 3ABN. We
promise you if you
00:09:47.15\00:09:48.82
send us a check for NAPS
we will see that they get it.
00:09:49.02\00:09:52.02
We've been able to work
with them for many years.
00:09:52.22\00:09:54.06
And some of you here... maybe
you want to come up and hand
00:09:54.46\00:09:57.09
them a check. And as the
Holy Spirit impresses you
00:09:57.29\00:10:00.06
what to do. But we
just want to encourage you.
00:10:00.26\00:10:02.00
Thank you all so
much for what you do
00:10:02.20\00:10:05.03
for the cause of God on
this earth. Amen. All right.
00:10:05.23\00:10:08.77
Darla, you have
something you want to say now?
00:10:09.17\00:10:11.74
OK. Now Danny Shelton said
we have been working together
00:10:14.14\00:10:18.85
for years, and I think
it was maybe 12 years ago...
00:10:19.05\00:10:24.09
He's a hard worker,
guys, and we decided... Well,
00:10:25.59\00:10:30.53
Dr. Paul, the president of NAPS,
00:10:30.73\00:10:33.40
decided to honor
him with a plaque.
00:10:33.60\00:10:35.73
Not just for all the
work that he's done for people
00:10:35.93\00:10:39.43
of color all around the world
but because he has a nice jump
00:10:39.63\00:10:43.61
when it comes to basketball.
00:10:43.81\00:10:45.91
If you've every
played basketball with him...
00:10:48.98\00:10:51.25
I'm actually one
who plays basketball.
00:10:51.45\00:10:53.52
He can do a nice shot,
you know. Even half court.
00:10:53.72\00:10:57.05
He's got some fancy shots. For
a white guy I do pretty good.
00:10:57.25\00:10:59.45
And so we decided
to give him a plaque.
00:11:00.56\00:11:04.49
However,
recently we were informed
00:11:04.89\00:11:07.86
that times have changed,
00:11:08.16\00:11:10.57
titles have changed,
and so an upgrade was due.
00:11:10.77\00:11:14.40
And so on behalf of NAPS...
00:11:14.80\00:11:17.27
May I explain why
I got the other one?
00:11:17.47\00:11:19.84
OK. Or why I went to
you all last time I saw you?
00:11:20.04\00:11:23.68
They gave me several years ago
00:11:23.98\00:11:26.51
this plaque. And it says:
"Because of your hard work
00:11:26.72\00:11:29.95
and dedication and your
unusual athletic ability
00:11:30.15\00:11:33.29
we name you an
honorary Negro man. "
00:11:33.49\00:11:35.52
All right? So now
00:11:35.72\00:11:39.39
I'm bragging about it
to C.A. 12 years later
00:11:39.59\00:11:42.30
and he says: "We're
not Negros any more. "
00:11:42.50\00:11:44.10
I said: "Wait a minute.
00:11:44.50\00:11:46.37
What do you mean?
"Yeah, I'm a Negro.
00:11:46.57\00:11:48.67
It says right here
I'm an honorary Negro. "
00:11:48.87\00:11:50.41
He said: "No, no, no, no.
00:11:50.61\00:11:51.94
We're African-American. " I
think it was a few years ago,
00:11:52.04\00:11:54.48
right? Yeah. So tell
me what you've done now.
00:11:54.68\00:11:56.44
So I have the wonderful honor
00:11:56.85\00:12:00.58
of presenting this plaque
00:12:00.98\00:12:02.95
on behalf of the National
Association for the Prevention
00:12:03.15\00:12:06.05
of Starvation. It says:
00:12:06.25\00:12:09.16
To the honorary
African-American man
00:12:09.56\00:12:12.73
Danny Shelton.
Because of the change in time
00:12:12.93\00:12:17.00
we are upgrading you
from honorary Negro man.
00:12:17.20\00:12:20.50
They upgraded me!
00:12:20.70\00:12:22.64
Now, while I love
it... There you go.
00:12:22.84\00:12:26.24
While I love
this and appreciate it
00:12:29.11\00:12:31.15
a lot cause now I'll
have two on the wall,
00:12:31.35\00:12:33.48
I've been hearing a
lot of rumors lately
00:12:33.68\00:12:35.75
that they'd
rather be called black.
00:12:35.95\00:12:37.82
So just for the
future if things really...
00:12:38.02\00:12:41.02
things really
lean just to black...
00:12:41.22\00:12:43.83
then I'll get another
one. I'll have three of them!
00:12:44.03\00:12:45.76
So I've gone through
all the changes ya'll have.
00:12:45.96\00:12:48.83
That's pretty good really.
00:12:49.03\00:12:50.37
So I'm lovin' it. All right.
00:12:50.50\00:12:52.00
NAPS, thank you so much. God
bless you. I love all of you.
00:12:52.20\00:12:54.67
God bless you. Thank you.
00:12:54.87\00:12:56.20
I'm gonna put
this on my wall, right?
00:12:57.94\00:13:00.94
It's a blessing to
have my daughter Melody.
00:13:02.04\00:13:05.25
You know, Melody wasn't able
to make it the first part of
00:13:05.45\00:13:07.72
Camp Meeting. She
gave me the option
00:13:07.92\00:13:09.58
but Lanny Wolfe is going to
be here. The song we just sang
00:13:09.78\00:13:13.25
was written by Lanny
Wolfe. Surely The Presence Of
00:13:13.46\00:13:15.92
The Lord Is In This Place.
00:13:16.12\00:13:17.46
And so I wanted her to
be... She was on a program
00:13:17.73\00:13:20.00
a few weeks ago, but
you know, with all the kids
00:13:20.20\00:13:23.30
and the work and Greg's schedule
and all of them, she said:
00:13:23.50\00:13:25.93
"I either can make Camp Meeting
or I can make the Lanny Wolfe. "
00:13:26.13\00:13:29.10
I said: "Let's do some of both.
00:13:29.30\00:13:30.64
If you'll show up and
sing for us on Sabbath
00:13:30.77\00:13:32.94
then they're going to stay
over. Tomorrow maybe I get to go
00:13:33.14\00:13:36.28
fourwheeling, spend
some time with the grandkids
00:13:36.48\00:13:38.35
or something...
walk in the woods. "
00:13:38.55\00:13:39.95
But then you're gonna stay
Monday and we're gonna be doin'
00:13:40.15\00:13:42.18
some new programs. I
don't know if you saw the ones
00:13:42.38\00:13:44.32
we did with Lanny
Wolfe. We're trying to do
00:13:44.52\00:13:46.12
new music programs. But
Melody, thank you for what you
00:13:46.32\00:13:49.99
do, honey, for the cause of God.
00:13:50.19\00:13:51.53
Thank you for
eight beautiful grandkids
00:13:51.56\00:13:52.89
that I love with all my heart.
00:13:52.99\00:13:54.66
And Melody, ever
since she was a young girl,
00:13:54.86\00:13:58.27
she didn't want to talk very
much. She said she never had
00:13:58.47\00:14:00.90
a chance to learn
how. I don't know why.
00:14:01.10\00:14:02.70
But she was able to
sing from a little girl
00:14:03.10\00:14:08.11
and she was...
They know why. Yes?
00:14:08.31\00:14:11.01
They know why.
00:14:13.65\00:14:14.98
OK. I think they do, too.
00:14:15.15\00:14:16.95
But she always
was willing to sing.
00:14:17.15\00:14:19.12
But sometimes she would want
to turn her back to the audience
00:14:19.32\00:14:22.09
to sing, but she's
gotten over that over the years.
00:14:22.29\00:14:25.39
So Melody, I love
you with all my heart.
00:14:25.59\00:14:27.26
Appreciate you, and thankful
that God has given you a gift
00:14:27.46\00:14:30.70
of music. And what are you
going to bless us with tonight?
00:14:30.90\00:14:33.47
Forever He's
Alive. You wrote it.
00:14:33.87\00:14:36.04
Oh, from our new project:
Hallelujah! We're Home At Last.
00:14:36.44\00:14:39.97
I wrote a song called Just
In Time, and Melody said...
00:14:40.38\00:14:43.04
Oh, one other
thing: she says to me:
00:14:43.24\00:14:45.75
"Dad, I really like that song.
00:14:46.05\00:14:48.25
That's a good song. It doesn't
sound like the rest of yours. "
00:14:48.45\00:14:50.99
And I scratched my head a
minute and I said: "Now was that
00:14:53.29\00:14:55.66
a compliment or an insult?
" Then I said: "I really don't
00:14:55.86\00:14:57.99
care. " No, but she said: "No,
I didn't mean it that way. "
00:14:58.19\00:15:00.76
I love pushin' buttons
so... She goes: "No, I didn't
00:15:00.96\00:15:03.06
mean it that way. I mean it's
just a little different style. "
00:15:03.26\00:15:05.57
So she said: "If you'd
write me a song like that
00:15:05.77\00:15:07.90
I'd love to sing it.
" So I prayed about it
00:15:08.10\00:15:11.34
and the Lord gave us this song.
And any song when we talk about
00:15:11.54\00:15:14.54
songs or music, we give
God the honor and the glory
00:15:14.74\00:15:17.65
and the praise because we
can do nothing without Him.
00:15:17.81\00:15:20.08
We can accomplish all
things through Christ Jesus.
00:15:20.28\00:15:23.39
So it was an honor for
me to be a part of that
00:15:23.59\00:15:25.55
and to get to hear you
sing Forever He's Alive.
00:15:25.75\00:15:28.29
Her heart was broken...
00:15:54.72\00:15:58.35
she could not sleep.
00:15:59.25\00:16:03.43
All through the night
00:16:05.53\00:16:08.66
she could only weep.
00:16:08.96\00:16:14.14
She made her way to the tomb
00:16:14.50\00:16:19.27
bringing oil,
spices, and perfume.
00:16:19.47\00:16:25.18
With all hope gone
00:16:26.18\00:16:29.65
how could she carry on?
00:16:30.05\00:16:35.79
Mary had been bound
00:16:37.13\00:16:40.66
by a life of sin.
00:16:40.86\00:16:45.13
Only Jesus could bring her peace
00:16:47.30\00:16:52.44
within.
00:16:52.84\00:16:55.88
He really knew her
00:16:56.64\00:17:00.92
and still He loved her.
00:17:01.12\00:17:06.96
That's the way
00:17:08.16\00:17:11.39
it had always been.
00:17:11.59\00:17:16.70
Mary believed
Jesus was the Son of God
00:17:19.30\00:17:21.67
but now He was dead.
00:17:22.07\00:17:23.81
She'd never see Him again.
00:17:24.01\00:17:25.81
It was love that carried
her on through the darkness
00:17:26.21\00:17:29.38
that Sunday morning to
prepare His body for the grave.
00:17:29.58\00:17:32.55
But as she neared the
tomb an angel suddenly appeared
00:17:32.95\00:17:35.92
and said: "Why seek ye
the living among the dead?
00:17:36.12\00:17:38.69
Your Lord has risen! He's alive!
00:17:38.89\00:17:41.62
Forever He's alive! "
00:17:41.82\00:17:44.13
He is risen
00:17:44.93\00:17:50.37
from the grave!
00:17:50.67\00:17:54.64
He conquered death forever
00:17:55.50\00:17:59.64
on that day.
00:17:59.84\00:18:05.05
No sad goodbyes,
00:18:05.91\00:18:08.42
no falling tears,
00:18:08.62\00:18:10.99
no broken hearts,
00:18:11.19\00:18:13.56
no need to fear
00:18:13.76\00:18:16.93
for He's alive...
00:18:17.23\00:18:21.03
forever
00:18:21.23\00:18:24.27
He's alive!
00:18:24.47\00:18:30.41
He is risen
00:18:32.81\00:18:38.01
from the grave!
00:18:38.21\00:18:42.42
He conquered death
00:18:43.02\00:18:45.52
forever on that day.
00:18:45.72\00:18:51.66
No sad goodbyes,
00:18:53.66\00:18:55.93
no falling tears,
00:18:56.13\00:18:58.70
no broken hearts,
00:18:58.90\00:19:01.17
no need to fear
00:19:01.37\00:19:04.54
for He's alive...
00:19:04.94\00:19:08.54
forever
00:19:08.94\00:19:11.98
He's
00:19:12.18\00:19:14.15
alive!
00:19:14.35\00:19:19.02
Forever and ever
00:19:19.32\00:19:25.29
He is
00:19:26.29\00:19:29.03
alive!
00:19:29.23\00:19:35.20
Forever
00:19:38.31\00:19:40.34
He's
00:19:40.54\00:19:41.88
alive!
00:19:41.91\00:19:47.78
Amen!
00:19:51.19\00:19:52.75
Thank you,
Melody. Thank you honey.
00:19:53.15\00:19:56.56
I have with me Dr. Moses Primo.
00:19:58.09\00:20:00.26
I always call him Dr. Mo
00:20:00.46\00:20:02.13
'cause anybody that's as
good at doing what he does
00:20:02.33\00:20:05.03
must be a doctor in my mind.
00:20:05.23\00:20:06.97
And he was a
doctor of engineering.
00:20:07.17\00:20:10.07
But Mo, what a blessing
you and your family have been
00:20:10.27\00:20:12.87
to 3ABN for 24 years.
00:20:13.07\00:20:15.04
It's a blessing to be
here and to be part of this
00:20:15.24\00:20:18.71
last movement of
reaching the whole world
00:20:19.11\00:20:22.28
with the three angels' messages.
It is really a blessing for us.
00:20:22.48\00:20:26.02
Yeah. Not that long ago
the big 12', 14' dishes.
00:20:26.42\00:20:30.49
And give us a quick
overview of where technology
00:20:30.89\00:20:35.46
not only where we've been
but especially where we're going
00:20:35.66\00:20:38.33
here. Well, I want
to show all the viewers
00:20:38.53\00:20:41.10
that are behind... they
couldn't come to this meeting
00:20:41.30\00:20:44.21
to visit 3ABN and you
are all in your homes.
00:20:44.41\00:20:48.58
Some of you I want to
also invite after the program
00:20:48.98\00:20:52.65
if you want to swing by
and see our control room
00:20:52.85\00:20:56.05
it's a brand new control room.
00:20:56.25\00:20:57.85
We have just a few programs
that were done from this
00:20:58.25\00:21:02.26
control room.
Before we used to have
00:21:02.46\00:21:04.83
the truck parked outside
00:21:05.03\00:21:07.56
and do all the connections.
00:21:07.76\00:21:09.63
Maybe sometimes it
would come even a few days
00:21:09.83\00:21:12.80
before the
programs had to start here
00:21:13.00\00:21:15.60
and connect everything
because the trucks were
00:21:15.80\00:21:19.71
either the uplink and the
production truck were outside
00:21:19.91\00:21:23.08
traveling and we have to
broadcast live from here.
00:21:23.28\00:21:27.78
But thank God and
thank you for your donations
00:21:27.98\00:21:30.99
and thank ASI also that has
helped us in this control room.
00:21:31.19\00:21:35.62
We have a brand new control room
00:21:36.02\00:21:39.16
that we don't
have to use the truck.
00:21:39.36\00:21:41.40
Now the truck is the old truck
00:21:41.60\00:21:44.33
because the truck is still
analog. This is all digital;
00:21:44.53\00:21:48.20
it is all high definition.
You will see the big monitors.
00:21:48.40\00:21:51.67
It's all high definition.
00:21:51.87\00:21:53.21
And we can let the
truck rest a little bit
00:21:53.68\00:21:57.31
to be able to work in the
truck to convert to digital.
00:21:57.51\00:22:02.35
This is the control
room as you can see there.
00:22:02.75\00:22:05.19
This is the equipment room.
00:22:05.39\00:22:07.02
There's not a lot of equipment
because technology is so
00:22:07.52\00:22:10.96
advanced now that we
can do with less equipment
00:22:11.16\00:22:14.60
and it's all digital.
00:22:14.80\00:22:16.20
That is the producer's
desk where the producers can sit
00:22:16.40\00:22:19.37
there and oversee the pro-
duction. The director is there.
00:22:19.57\00:22:23.30
This is the sound room.
It's all digital sound also.
00:22:23.51\00:22:26.84
All was done with
state-of-the-art technology
00:22:27.14\00:22:30.51
and it's able to broadcast
from here in high definition.
00:22:30.71\00:22:35.75
This was just
recorded this afternoon.
00:22:36.15\00:22:38.95
We have also awesome
equipment that is able to
00:22:39.15\00:22:43.36
edit the programs.
This is the video station,
00:22:43.56\00:22:48.73
the graphics station, and
you see the director's station
00:22:48.93\00:22:52.97
on your left side. But
this is the equipment that I was
00:22:53.17\00:22:57.81
mentioning to you. This
equipment is able to edit
00:22:58.01\00:23:02.34
while you are
still recording it.
00:23:02.54\00:23:05.45
So as soon as you
finish if there are any fixes
00:23:05.85\00:23:09.08
or as soon as you finish
the program - maybe 10 minutes
00:23:09.28\00:23:12.45
after that - that program
can actually be saved in the...
00:23:12.65\00:23:17.99
in the file server
and can be repeated again
00:23:19.19\00:23:23.47
because it's
ready for broadcasting.
00:23:23.67\00:23:25.83
While you are recording they
are editing, they are fixing,
00:23:26.23\00:23:29.44
they are making changes.
And a few minutes after that
00:23:29.64\00:23:32.61
it's ready to
be broadcast again.
00:23:32.81\00:23:35.14
Absolutely mindboggling
the technology where the Bible
00:23:35.34\00:23:38.11
say the "last
events will be rapid. "
00:23:38.31\00:23:40.25
You know, "knowledge
shall be increased; men running
00:23:40.45\00:23:42.78
to and fro. " Just
around 30 years ago
00:23:42.98\00:23:46.02
a little before 3ABN, I
had a little recording studio
00:23:46.22\00:23:49.46
that I would bring people
into my home. Built a little
00:23:49.66\00:23:52.29
studio. It was like 8
track and a 16 track, Moses.
00:23:52.49\00:23:55.86
And it was reel to reel,
OK? We had the reel. Anybody old
00:23:56.06\00:23:58.73
enough to remember reel to reel?
00:23:58.93\00:24:00.27
OK. How did I
edit that reel to reel?
00:24:00.60\00:24:03.37
So when you wanted to
take out a breath noise
00:24:03.57\00:24:05.57
or there was a pause I
literally would turn it
00:24:05.77\00:24:08.48
and you would hear it
go "rurr, rurr. " And soon
00:24:08.68\00:24:11.01
as I did I had to
physically take it off,
00:24:11.21\00:24:13.31
put it on a cutting block,
take a razor blade and cut it.
00:24:13.52\00:24:16.69
If you messed up, that's
it you know. You messed up.
00:24:16.89\00:24:20.16
So every edit every cut.
00:24:20.36\00:24:21.89
Now you can edit while
you're actually recording.
00:24:22.09\00:24:24.49
I mean, that's just mindboggling
to me... the technology.
00:24:24.69\00:24:27.63
But God has given us
this for a reason, folks.
00:24:27.83\00:24:29.76
That's to take the gospel
literally into all the world.
00:24:30.17\00:24:33.70
And so... technology...
Think about it: 6,000 years
00:24:34.10\00:24:38.97
plus to get to just
where we could just record.
00:24:39.17\00:24:41.81
And all of a sudden all
of the things that we can do
00:24:42.01\00:24:44.18
sending signals around
the world and thanks to you.
00:24:44.38\00:24:46.75
Moses Primo...
I don't uplift him
00:24:46.95\00:24:49.05
but 24 years I
uplift the Jesus in him.
00:24:49.25\00:24:52.32
Moses... Without Moses we'd just
be talking to each other here
00:24:52.52\00:24:55.39
tonight. I have no
idea how this stuff works
00:24:55.59\00:24:58.06
but he does, and that's
all that matters, right?
00:24:58.26\00:25:00.20
I don't try to learn it. God
has brought us the right people.
00:25:00.40\00:25:02.96
So when people brag about 3ABN:
"Boy, you're doing... " I say:
00:25:03.37\00:25:06.13
"Actually Moses is the brains
behind it because I wouldn't
00:25:06.33\00:25:08.97
know how to get off first
base. " Well I can tell you that
00:25:09.17\00:25:12.91
I acknowledge that
I don't know enough
00:25:13.11\00:25:16.71
even to start this. When
Danny, 20-something years ago,
00:25:16.91\00:25:21.12
asked me to go
all around the world
00:25:21.32\00:25:23.99
I did not know. I told
you: "I just don't know. "
00:25:24.19\00:25:26.65
So God is good
enough that once you put
00:25:27.06\00:25:30.29
your will in His will
00:25:31.49\00:25:34.66
He will bring the
people who make the contacts.
00:25:34.86\00:25:37.33
And He brings
the companies to me.
00:25:37.53\00:25:40.47
I tell you: I
don't take any credit
00:25:40.67\00:25:42.97
because I know that He
is the One that is doing.
00:25:43.17\00:25:46.37
We have... I do my part
to study and keep up with
00:25:46.78\00:25:50.38
the technology in the
news, and as I see things
00:25:50.58\00:25:56.38
He guides towards
what He wants us to do.
00:25:56.58\00:26:00.39
I have a tremendous belief
00:26:01.19\00:26:05.56
that the Internet is
something that is going to
00:26:05.76\00:26:09.93
help the preaching of the gospel
00:26:10.13\00:26:13.74
and it's going to speed
up this process dramatically.
00:26:13.94\00:26:17.31
So I have spent time
00:26:17.84\00:26:20.78
and we already did the phones.
00:26:20.98\00:26:24.15
You know, you all can
receive... watch 3ABN.
00:26:24.35\00:26:27.62
Everybody got 3ABN
on your apps, right?
00:26:27.82\00:26:29.72
If you don't, you
need to find out about it.
00:26:30.32\00:26:33.36
If you've got a smart phone,
you can just go to the app store
00:26:33.56\00:26:36.52
and downlink 3ABN. Those
of you saying: "I have no idea
00:26:36.73\00:26:39.66
what that means" that just tells
me you don't have a smart phone.
00:26:39.86\00:26:42.06
But the rest of you that
do, I don't have to explain that
00:26:42.26\00:26:44.97
to you. Just go to the
app store. Downlink 3ABN.
00:26:45.17\00:26:48.64
The other day I
met Dr. Ben Carson.
00:26:48.84\00:26:50.84
And he's a SDA
running for the presidency
00:26:51.24\00:26:55.04
of the United States. So
Wintley Phipps and I were there
00:26:55.24\00:26:58.21
and C.A. and Greg, and
so we went in a little room,
00:26:58.41\00:27:00.65
was talking to
him. And I said...
00:27:00.85\00:27:02.38
I said: "Do you watch 3ABN? "
00:27:02.58\00:27:04.55
And he said: "Sometimes.
" Now he's a very busy man.
00:27:04.75\00:27:07.52
And I said: "OK, let
me see your phone app. "
00:27:07.92\00:27:10.56
I'm just kidding him, right?
00:27:10.76\00:27:12.23
He reaches in his
pocket, pulls out his phone,
00:27:12.43\00:27:14.33
and says: "Here's my 3ABN app. "
00:27:14.53\00:27:16.16
Watches 3ABN. I said:
"All right! " This interview's
00:27:17.10\00:27:19.93
going to go well" I told him.
00:27:20.14\00:27:21.80
Yes. So the
phone was a good leap
00:27:23.00\00:27:27.31
I believe to reach more people.
00:27:27.71\00:27:30.25
But now we have
also another opportunity.
00:27:30.65\00:27:34.32
We have been doing
IPTV for many years,
00:27:34.72\00:27:39.12
and many of the
people that we talk to...
00:27:39.32\00:27:42.46
My wife and I have
talked to many people saying:
00:27:42.66\00:27:46.06
"We want just Seventh-
day Adventist channels.
00:27:46.26\00:27:48.93
Maybe some news channels
that we can keep up with
00:27:49.13\00:27:52.53
what's happening in the world,
but we want just SDA channels.
00:27:52.73\00:27:57.41
We don't want all
this other garbage
00:27:57.61\00:28:00.21
that is in this industry. "
00:28:00.41\00:28:03.65
And we have been listening
to this for quite a while.
00:28:04.05\00:28:07.42
And finally I believe
God impressed me to build
00:28:07.62\00:28:12.65
a small box that you
can connect to the Internet
00:28:12.85\00:28:16.56
and you can watch
all the SDA channels.
00:28:16.86\00:28:20.60
You also have the
ability to go to the Internet
00:28:20.80\00:28:24.97
and if you to go to
mysdatv... don't go yet!
00:28:25.37\00:28:29.17
But you will be
able to go to mysdatv.com
00:28:29.37\00:28:33.38
and it will be a portal
where you can reach any of
00:28:33.58\00:28:38.91
these other ministries...
all the SDA ministries.
00:28:39.11\00:28:43.15
This now is a little box
similar to a Roku box maybe?
00:28:43.35\00:28:46.42
Yes. Similar to the
Roku. But it actually plugs in.
00:28:46.62\00:28:48.59
You can watch it on
your TV not on computer?
00:28:48.79\00:28:50.93
That's right. You
connect it to your TV
00:28:51.13\00:28:52.79
and it's... You
can take it with you?
00:28:52.99\00:28:55.06
You can take it with
you. Anywhere in the world?
00:28:55.26\00:28:57.67
Anywhere in the world,
yes. Isn't that amazing?
00:28:57.87\00:29:00.24
The same way that today
you can go anywhere in the
00:29:00.44\00:29:03.37
world and as long as you...
This one you will have to pay
00:29:03.57\00:29:06.78
for the connection
that you are in the country
00:29:06.98\00:29:11.78
which is very expensive.
So I don't recommend using...
00:29:11.98\00:29:13.88
streaming your
phone in other countries.
00:29:14.08\00:29:16.28
But the little box... It
will be a free band width.
00:29:16.48\00:29:20.76
So 3ABN... Nothing is free, but
3ABN is streaming the channels
00:29:20.96\00:29:26.49
and when you will be
watching in other countries
00:29:26.70\00:29:29.26
actually 3ABN is paying for
that band width that you are
00:29:29.46\00:29:32.23
consuming. But to
YOU it's free of charge.
00:29:32.43\00:29:35.27
So you just have to buy the
box and you can take with you
00:29:35.47\00:29:38.51
or you can watch in your home.
And you will be able to watch
00:29:38.71\00:29:41.28
not only 3ABN but
all the SDA channels.
00:29:41.48\00:29:45.95
What about languages?
00:29:46.15\00:29:47.58
Have you? I'm
sure you have, but...
00:29:47.78\00:29:49.92
thought about it,
how would this work with
00:29:50.12\00:29:51.92
different languages? It
will work with other languages
00:29:52.12\00:29:56.29
as much as we have content.
00:29:56.49\00:29:58.23
We are hoping that as...
First we're going to launch
00:29:58.43\00:30:02.10
the English, and as the people
see the possibility of reaching
00:30:02.30\00:30:06.94
many multitudes of people
00:30:07.14\00:30:09.24
we are hoping to get connected
with Seventh-day Adventist
00:30:09.44\00:30:13.17
organizations and ministries,
00:30:13.38\00:30:16.38
lay organizations that
already have the content.
00:30:16.58\00:30:19.28
mysdatv will have no...
producing any of the programs.
00:30:19.48\00:30:25.12
It will be just a link...
delivery system... a delivery
00:30:25.32\00:30:28.69
system to all the rich content
that we already have in our
00:30:28.89\00:30:33.40
possession but
sometimes we don't even know.
00:30:33.60\00:30:37.17
We have to go to
maybe a Romanian website
00:30:37.37\00:30:39.93
or to a Portuguese website.
00:30:40.14\00:30:43.07
And you wouldn't know...
00:30:43.27\00:30:45.44
If you are in New York there are
thousands of people that speak
00:30:45.64\00:30:48.51
different languages, and
you have to search and Google
00:30:48.71\00:30:51.91
many different sites to be able
to hear in your own language.
00:30:52.11\00:30:56.58
If you go to mysdatv.com
00:30:56.79\00:30:59.55
you have a direct connection
to all these languages
00:30:59.75\00:31:03.32
that will have
access to. Absolutely...
00:31:03.53\00:31:06.90
Probably most of you - at
least if you're in computers -
00:31:07.30\00:31:09.83
you know what a USB
like thumb drive is.
00:31:10.03\00:31:12.13
Little thing you just
plug in your computer, right?
00:31:12.33\00:31:14.90
You can do programming
with just that, right?
00:31:15.30\00:31:19.21
Yes. With today's technology
00:31:19.41\00:31:21.94
like I don't know, with
Roku sometimes can you do
00:31:22.14\00:31:24.15
a thumb drive? They
do have a HDMI port.
00:31:24.35\00:31:29.38
It's a process of
developing but, yes, they have
00:31:29.78\00:31:33.76
one as small as that. But
something as small as that,
00:31:33.96\00:31:36.69
you can put thousands
of hours of programming -
00:31:36.89\00:31:38.83
from 3ABN or whatever -
on something to plug into
00:31:39.03\00:31:41.30
your computer, get a great
picture, I mean where we've come
00:31:41.50\00:31:44.47
from that big satellite dish
just since 3ABN's inception.
00:31:44.67\00:31:48.27
In fact, it's no coincidence.
We came on the scene
00:31:48.47\00:31:51.54
just as
everything was exploding.
00:31:51.74\00:31:53.21
Technology. So this is
divine origin is what it is.
00:31:53.41\00:31:57.35
But the reason is to get
the gospel into all the world.
00:31:57.55\00:32:00.18
But today as I was talking to
you, that's what occurred to me
00:32:00.58\00:32:03.52
Moses. This is not just...
We're talking about well,
00:32:03.72\00:32:06.02
financially we're really dry.
00:32:06.22\00:32:08.39
I mean I can say that
openly. Because there's so many
00:32:08.59\00:32:11.13
thing that we want to do
and things that we have to do
00:32:11.33\00:32:14.03
to meet certain requirements.
00:32:14.23\00:32:15.96
But it also occurred to
me we're spiritually dry.
00:32:16.16\00:32:18.33
So God is allowing this
technology to get in the hands
00:32:18.53\00:32:21.80
of everybody. Anybody can give
their neighbor a thumb drive
00:32:22.00\00:32:25.71
with programming. Anybody
can give their neighbor a DVD
00:32:25.91\00:32:28.18
or CD or buy your
neighbor a mysdatv box
00:32:28.38\00:32:33.55
or a Roku or whatever.
00:32:33.75\00:32:35.35
And they're $50... whatever.
00:32:35.85\00:32:38.22
We don't know the cost, but
these Rokus... what they are.
00:32:38.42\00:32:40.52
It's not going to be expensive
and there's no monthly fees.
00:32:40.72\00:32:43.59
So this can be
watched anywhere in the world.
00:32:43.79\00:32:46.80
I'm amazed at people. Reggie and
Ladye said they were somewhere
00:32:47.00\00:32:49.63
the other day and an
attorney general of the USA -
00:32:49.83\00:32:53.84
not now but formerly - said:
"Oh, man, I love you guys. "
00:32:54.04\00:32:58.11
A big Gaither concert, you
know, they said with Reggie
00:32:58.31\00:33:01.24
and Ladye the other night, a
Gaither concert, and he said:
00:33:01.44\00:33:04.95
"Oh we met the attorney general
and he says: 'I watch you guys
00:33:05.15\00:33:08.92
all the time on 3ABN. ' "
00:33:09.12\00:33:11.15
You know, this technology
makes this available to people
00:33:11.55\00:33:16.52
everywhere. Another
thing I'm very excited about
00:33:16.73\00:33:21.13
the possibility
that this box has
00:33:21.33\00:33:25.87
is to if you come
to Camp Meeting...
00:33:26.07\00:33:29.50
I hope you didn't,
but if you took a nap
00:33:29.70\00:33:31.47
and you missed some of
the program this afternoon,
00:33:31.67\00:33:33.94
you go home, you connect
your box and you can watch
00:33:34.14\00:33:37.35
all the programs in the
last week that have been saved
00:33:37.55\00:33:41.92
in the memory. So it is
just going to be a great thing
00:33:42.12\00:33:45.69
for you to be able to...
Don't have to miss any programs.
00:33:45.89\00:33:49.99
If you are at work or if
you are at another appointment,
00:33:50.19\00:33:52.69
you can go back and watch
whatever it is on the video
00:33:52.89\00:33:55.60
on demand. Since
Moses has been here
00:33:55.80\00:33:57.57
we've built well over
100 television stations.
00:33:57.77\00:34:00.27
Very small literally
number- wise engineering crew.
00:34:00.47\00:34:04.24
Over 100
television stations, folks.
00:34:04.44\00:34:06.57
'Cause this is yours...
it's not ours. It's all of us.
00:34:06.78\00:34:08.88
We don't own it. We're
a non-profit organization.
00:34:09.08\00:34:11.38
We couldn't do it without you.
00:34:11.58\00:34:12.91
We have television
stations; we have radio stations
00:34:12.95\00:34:15.68
and affiliates. Jay
said 260-some odd, right Jay?
00:34:15.88\00:34:19.29
Affiliate stations where people
on air, driving down the road,
00:34:19.49\00:34:23.49
can listen to 3ABN.
In our own local church
00:34:23.69\00:34:27.03
people have walking in here,
been baptized ready for baptism,
00:34:27.23\00:34:30.10
because they've been
listening to 3ABN Radio
00:34:30.30\00:34:34.17
and watching 3ABN television.
00:34:34.37\00:34:35.87
So to take the
gospel into all the world
00:34:36.07\00:34:38.81
it's amazing the technology.
And since you've been here
00:34:39.01\00:34:41.91
we've built numerous studios.
00:34:42.11\00:34:43.81
And a lot of folk don't
know how big the ministry is
00:34:44.01\00:34:47.78
until they come here and visit.
00:34:47.98\00:34:49.32
But we have what? Four
or five recording studios.
00:34:49.55\00:34:52.19
You saw a little
sample of the equipment.
00:34:52.39\00:34:54.29
All of these have
to have that equipment.
00:34:54.49\00:34:56.16
The lighting for all
the equipment, the wiring
00:34:56.36\00:34:58.46
and all the
technology is amazing.
00:34:58.66\00:35:00.80
And we couldn't do it
without you. I'm saying all this
00:35:01.20\00:35:03.26
to say: "Please ask the Lord
what He would have you to do
00:35:03.47\00:35:06.43
and please consider being a part
of The Blessing Is on the GO! "
00:35:06.63\00:35:10.04
Praise the Lord that
I've got a pocket full
00:35:10.44\00:35:12.47
of envelopes right here.
People walked up with offerings
00:35:12.67\00:35:15.61
and said: "I want to be a part
of The Blessing Is on the GO! "
00:35:15.81\00:35:18.35
And so some of them
are pretty good sized.
00:35:18.65\00:35:21.32
Thank you for
that... but ANY size.
00:35:21.52\00:35:22.98
So there are still I
think on the seats somewhere...
00:35:23.18\00:35:25.55
If you don't have it,
pray before this Camp Meeting
00:35:25.75\00:35:27.86
is over here
tonight or in the morning
00:35:28.06\00:35:29.79
before you leave: "Lord,
what would You have me to do
00:35:29.99\00:35:31.89
to be a part of the Blessing
Is on the GO! team member
00:35:32.09\00:35:35.70
with 3ABN? "
Closing thoughts, Mo?
00:35:35.90\00:35:37.97
Well, I believe
that the time is short.
00:35:38.27\00:35:40.84
And sometimes I receive
calls from other organizations
00:35:41.04\00:35:45.17
that heard about 3ABN and say:
00:35:45.37\00:35:48.01
"Hey, can we put
you on our system
00:35:48.21\00:35:50.65
or on our website
or even in our box? "
00:35:50.85\00:35:54.48
And I say: "Yeah, sure! "
00:35:54.68\00:35:56.28
I give them the
links and they put it on
00:35:56.48\00:35:58.45
and people that we don't
even know, they are watching
00:35:58.65\00:36:02.32
3ABN. So this is the time for us
00:36:02.52\00:36:08.06
to try in all different
directions: on radio and TV
00:36:08.26\00:36:12.10
IPTV or the Internet.
00:36:12.30\00:36:15.20
So we can actually hasten
the second coming of Jesus
00:36:15.40\00:36:20.44
by getting this
message that we have...
00:36:20.68\00:36:22.38
We have such a rich message.
00:36:22.58\00:36:25.31
All this material that we
have... it shouldn't be just
00:36:25.51\00:36:29.58
kept for one
ministry or one website.
00:36:29.78\00:36:32.85
It should have a central portal
00:36:33.05\00:36:35.89
where a SDA can go
00:36:36.09\00:36:39.26
and from there they can
just go anywhere they want
00:36:39.46\00:36:42.53
and watch anything they want.
00:36:42.73\00:36:44.07
So that is my call at the
moment. That is my burden to do.
00:36:44.10\00:36:47.97
We want to thank you
for partnering with us.
00:36:48.17\00:36:50.14
3ABN is the largest
independent or supporting
00:36:50.54\00:36:54.01
ministry in the history
of the Adventist church.
00:36:54.21\00:36:56.01
And that's amazing as we
watch all of these things
00:36:56.41\00:36:59.58
unfold and watch
current events unfolding
00:36:59.78\00:37:01.78
to say: "It's no coincidence;
it's divine providence. "
00:37:02.08\00:37:04.65
So once again,
thank you for your prayers
00:37:04.85\00:37:07.36
and your financial
support of 3ABN. Thank you, Mo.
00:37:07.56\00:37:09.82
Love you like a brother.
Mo and I are neighbors, too,
00:37:10.13\00:37:13.13
so we share lawnmowers
if we need to or whatever.
00:37:13.53\00:37:16.20
We share things. All right.
00:37:16.40\00:37:19.03
Pastor John Lomacang. I
love John. He's the pastor
00:37:19.23\00:37:23.61
of this church for
those that don't know that.
00:37:23.81\00:37:25.67
This man's an incredible man.
He's a mountain of information
00:37:25.87\00:37:29.41
and God has blessed him.
He's anointed him not only
00:37:29.81\00:37:32.41
in ministry of
preaching but in music.
00:37:32.61\00:37:36.08
He's got tremendous ability.
We give God the credit for that.
00:37:36.28\00:37:38.69
John, I love you too with
all my heart. You know that.
00:37:38.89\00:37:41.92
We're brothers in the Lord.
And thank you for what you do
00:37:42.12\00:37:44.73
for the cause of God. Praise
the Lord. Thank you, Danny.
00:37:44.93\00:37:47.13
I believe
00:37:59.64\00:38:02.81
in a hill called
00:38:03.01\00:38:05.68
Mount Calvary.
00:38:06.18\00:38:10.02
And I believe
00:38:10.82\00:38:14.62
whatever
00:38:14.82\00:38:17.19
the cost.
00:38:17.93\00:38:22.43
And when time has surrendered
00:38:23.37\00:38:28.27
and this old earth is no more
00:38:28.57\00:38:33.48
I'll still cling
00:38:33.78\00:38:36.75
to that old rugged cross.
00:38:37.35\00:38:43.25
I believe that this life
00:38:46.45\00:38:51.26
with its great mysteries
00:38:51.66\00:38:56.26
surely someday
00:38:56.67\00:39:00.10
will come to an end.
00:39:00.30\00:39:05.81
Oh but faith
00:39:06.31\00:39:11.65
will conquer
00:39:12.05\00:39:14.58
all the darkness and death
00:39:14.78\00:39:19.22
and will lead me
00:39:19.62\00:39:22.66
at last to my Friend.
00:39:22.86\00:39:28.70
I believe
00:39:31.23\00:39:34.64
that the Christ
00:39:34.84\00:39:36.50
who was slain on the cross
00:39:36.91\00:39:42.08
has the power
00:39:42.48\00:39:46.58
to change lives
today. You know how I know?
00:39:46.78\00:39:52.22
For He changed
00:39:52.62\00:39:56.76
me completely
00:39:56.96\00:39:59.86
and a new life is mine,
00:40:00.26\00:40:05.03
That is why
00:40:05.23\00:40:07.37
by the cross
00:40:07.77\00:40:11.27
I will stay.
00:40:11.47\00:40:15.81
Yes, I believe
00:40:16.51\00:40:19.88
in a hill called
00:40:20.08\00:40:22.68
Mount Calvary.
00:40:22.88\00:40:27.36
And I believe
00:40:27.56\00:40:31.26
that whatever
00:40:31.46\00:40:34.26
the cost.
00:40:34.46\00:40:39.93
And when time has surrendered
00:40:40.14\00:40:45.41
and this old earth is no more
00:40:45.61\00:40:50.25
yes, I'll still cling
00:40:50.45\00:40:53.72
to that old rugged
00:40:54.12\00:40:58.55
cross.
00:40:58.75\00:41:04.76
Amen!
00:41:07.93\00:41:09.60
Thank you Pastor John.
00:41:10.00\00:41:12.87
Whoever does the scheduling I'm
going to have to talk to them.
00:41:13.27\00:41:16.77
Every time I've got to
follow something like that.
00:41:18.11\00:41:20.18
I don't get it. My
brother must be doin' that
00:41:21.68\00:41:23.65
is all I can figure.
00:41:23.85\00:41:25.58
Pastor John is one
of my favorite singers.
00:41:25.78\00:41:27.65
That was absolutely beautiful.
00:41:27.85\00:41:29.68
I'm going to do a song
called Tell It Wherever I Go.
00:41:30.09\00:41:33.36
That's what
we're here for, right?
00:41:33.56\00:41:34.89
We're here to tell
the gospel wherever we go.
00:41:35.06\00:41:37.63
And that's what I want to
try to do more so as I see
00:41:37.83\00:41:41.26
time is growing so short.
00:41:41.46\00:41:43.16
I want to be a witness. Some-
times I'm not near the witness
00:41:43.57\00:41:46.27
I ought to be, but I
want to pray towards that end
00:41:46.47\00:41:49.20
that I can be a witness
and that I can tell the gospel
00:41:49.40\00:41:51.57
wherever I go. Amen!
00:41:51.77\00:41:53.81
I'll tell of
00:42:09.92\00:42:13.70
the Savior,
00:42:13.90\00:42:16.73
I'll tell of His favor.
00:42:17.33\00:42:23.27
I will tell it, Lord,
00:42:23.77\00:42:27.64
wherever I may go.
00:42:27.84\00:42:33.85
I'll count every
00:42:37.85\00:42:42.16
blessing,
00:42:42.36\00:42:44.23
I'll go on confessing.
00:42:45.03\00:42:50.93
I will tell it,
00:42:51.33\00:42:53.74
Lord, wherever
00:42:53.94\00:42:57.87
I may go.
00:42:58.07\00:43:02.64
What He is
00:43:05.21\00:43:08.85
to you
00:43:09.25\00:43:12.45
maybe you cannot see.
00:43:12.85\00:43:18.39
But this thing
00:43:18.79\00:43:22.70
I know:
00:43:22.90\00:43:26.33
He's everything to me.
00:43:26.53\00:43:31.91
Oh, He'll be there,
00:43:32.17\00:43:36.14
yes, meet me there
00:43:36.34\00:43:39.95
and then go where
00:43:40.25\00:43:43.55
He's prepared.
00:43:43.95\00:43:46.35
I will tell it,
00:43:46.55\00:43:49.19
Lord, wherever
00:43:49.39\00:43:53.03
I may go.
00:43:53.23\00:43:58.17
And if I
00:44:00.34\00:44:04.07
were dying
00:44:04.47\00:44:07.84
with just one word to say,
00:44:08.04\00:44:13.68
I'd speak it
00:44:14.28\00:44:17.89
for Jesus
00:44:18.29\00:44:21.32
then breathe
00:44:21.52\00:44:23.12
my life away.
00:44:23.53\00:44:27.00
Oh, He'll be there,
00:44:27.20\00:44:31.37
yes, meet me there
00:44:31.77\00:44:35.14
and then go where
00:44:35.34\00:44:38.54
He's prepared.
00:44:39.04\00:44:41.68
I will tell it, Lord,
00:44:41.88\00:44:46.11
wherever
00:44:46.31\00:44:49.82
I
00:44:50.52\00:44:54.82
may go.
00:44:55.62\00:45:01.03
Amen!
00:45:07.80\00:45:09.20
Amen and amen.
00:45:13.31\00:45:14.81
How many are having a
good time in the Lord?
00:45:16.18\00:45:18.21
Amen! Can you
imagine what it will be like
00:45:18.41\00:45:22.15
in heaven with
all the saints of God?
00:45:22.35\00:45:26.35
No death; no sorrow.
00:45:26.76\00:45:29.86
No pain; unending
prayer and praise.
00:45:30.26\00:45:35.20
No eyeglasses.
00:45:36.16\00:45:38.47
No contact lenses.
00:45:38.87\00:45:40.70
No canes; no wheelchairs.
00:45:41.74\00:45:44.14
No arthritis, rheumatism...
00:45:45.27\00:45:48.41
bad feet, bad breath, bad hair.
00:45:49.31\00:45:52.11
You know, we don't really know
what heaven is going to be like
00:45:55.65\00:45:59.22
because eye hath
seen... hath NOT seen, rather...
00:45:59.62\00:46:04.09
and earth hath not
heard. I think we are much more
00:46:04.29\00:46:06.29
comfortable dealing
with what won't be there.
00:46:06.49\00:46:10.07
Think of something bad.
00:46:11.47\00:46:13.54
That ain't gonna be there. Amen!
00:46:13.84\00:46:16.24
And we praise the Lord
that Jesus will be there.
00:46:16.50\00:46:19.77
I want to just take a moment
00:46:20.74\00:46:22.08
because Pastor Carter's
coming in the next little bit.
00:46:22.11\00:46:25.38
But I think there's a
question that we all need to ask
00:46:25.78\00:46:30.19
ourselves when we go
through experiences like this.
00:46:30.39\00:46:33.59
Because it occurs to
me how sad it would be
00:46:35.06\00:46:39.53
to feel what we've felt today,
00:46:40.63\00:46:44.20
to experience what
we've experienced today,
00:46:45.67\00:46:49.54
to make the kind of promises
to ourselves that we always do
00:46:50.81\00:46:54.21
in occasions and
situations like this
00:46:54.41\00:46:57.01
and then come
down to Judgment Day
00:46:58.35\00:47:01.08
and have Christ
say: "Depart from Me.
00:47:01.48\00:47:03.89
I just... I never knew you. "
00:47:05.39\00:47:07.86
And you want to ask yourself:
"Lord, was I fooling myself? "
00:47:09.89\00:47:13.06
"Was I inventing a feeling
that wasn't really there? "
00:47:14.50\00:47:18.20
"I was in church;
I felt something...
00:47:18.60\00:47:21.24
I knew I was in the
presence of something
00:47:21.44\00:47:23.41
so why is it that we
never made a connection? "
00:47:23.71\00:47:26.68
"Where is the disconnect? "
00:47:27.58\00:47:29.21
"How could it be that
You just don't know me
00:47:29.41\00:47:32.38
and You're saying that
I never really knew You? "
00:47:33.42\00:47:36.42
How incredibly sad it would be
00:47:37.92\00:47:40.46
for that to be the
reality of anybody here.
00:47:40.86\00:47:44.59
So there's a couple
things we need to take care of,
00:47:46.26\00:47:49.06
and we need to take
care of them every day.
00:47:49.56\00:47:52.20
Turn with me if you
will to the gospel of Mark.
00:47:52.40\00:47:54.57
We're taking just a few moments.
00:47:54.77\00:47:56.10
I'm in Mark chapter 14.
00:47:59.67\00:48:04.85
I'll read just several verses
and then we'll just try to
00:48:10.95\00:48:13.66
wade our way
through some stuff and then
00:48:13.86\00:48:15.72
we'll prepare ourselves
for the next little bit.
00:48:15.92\00:48:17.36
But Mark 14
beginning in verse 1.
00:48:17.56\00:48:20.63
Father God, we just
open Your Word, and we ask as
00:48:21.03\00:48:24.77
we open Your Word
that You'd open our hearts.
00:48:24.97\00:48:26.57
And we thank you in Jesus' name.
00:48:26.87\00:48:29.80
"After two days it was Passover
and the Feast of Unleavened
00:48:30.41\00:48:34.98
Bread and the chief priests and
scribes thought how they might
00:48:35.38\00:48:38.41
take Him by trickery
and put Him to death.
00:48:38.81\00:48:41.48
But they said: 'No,
not during the feast lest
00:48:41.88\00:48:44.55
there be an
uproar of the people. '
00:48:44.75\00:48:46.22
Being in Bethany at the
house of Simon the leper
00:48:46.42\00:48:49.76
as He sat at a
table a woman came, having
00:48:50.06\00:48:53.29
an alabaster flask of
very costly oil of spikenard.
00:48:53.50\00:48:57.97
Then she broke the flask
and poured it on His head. "
00:48:59.07\00:49:02.04
And spikenard is a
very very expensive oil.
00:49:02.24\00:49:04.61
I've got spikenard at home.
00:49:04.81\00:49:06.54
I've got frankincense
and myrrh that I bought
00:49:06.74\00:49:09.24
in Israel in 1974.
00:49:09.44\00:49:12.35
Now you can do the math.
00:49:12.75\00:49:14.72
And it's still very strong,
very potent, very fragrant.
00:49:14.92\00:49:17.95
And it was just poured
on some leaves as a kind of
00:49:18.15\00:49:20.66
potpourri. This is
very expensive stuff
00:49:20.86\00:49:22.69
and it stays
potent for a long time.
00:49:22.89\00:49:24.73
"Then she broke the
flask, poured it on His head.
00:49:26.70\00:49:30.13
But there were some who were
indignant among themselves. "
00:49:30.33\00:49:33.77
Now of course, Mark is kind.
He doesn't say, but later on
00:49:33.97\00:49:37.57
Luke tells us who it is.
00:49:37.77\00:49:39.87
And John does also.
00:49:40.18\00:49:41.71
"They were indignant among
themselves and said: 'Why was
00:49:43.95\00:49:46.51
this fragrant oil wasted?
For it might have been sold
00:49:46.72\00:49:49.28
for more than 300 denari
00:49:49.48\00:49:51.59
and given to the poor. '
And they criticized her sharply.
00:49:51.79\00:49:56.29
But Jesus said:
'Let her alone. ' "
00:49:58.16\00:50:01.23
That's a powerful line...
there's a sermon right there:
00:50:01.43\00:50:04.37
that Christ was always
there to get your back.
00:50:05.40\00:50:09.37
I think only in heaven
will we look back over our
00:50:10.51\00:50:13.78
shoulders in glory
and see how many times
00:50:13.98\00:50:16.88
Satan wanted to
insinuate himself in our lives
00:50:17.08\00:50:19.95
and Christ said:
"Leave him alone. "
00:50:20.25\00:50:23.39
"Leave her
alone... that's My child. "
00:50:24.65\00:50:28.46
I'll tell you a secret
about how to defeat the devil
00:50:29.16\00:50:31.19
before we're done. "For the
poor you have always with you.
00:50:31.39\00:50:35.16
Whenever you wish
you may do them good.
00:50:35.36\00:50:36.77
But Me you do not have always.
00:50:37.07\00:50:39.57
She hath done what she could. "
00:50:39.77\00:50:41.50
"She hath done what she could. "
00:50:41.70\00:50:45.17
The crux of this story...
00:50:47.81\00:50:50.25
There are many things
but the crux of the story
00:50:51.48\00:50:55.52
is that she did what she could.
00:50:55.72\00:50:59.02
Ladies and gentlemen,
it is my settled belief
00:51:00.79\00:51:03.32
that God is not
going to judge you
00:51:04.46\00:51:07.26
for doing what you could not do.
00:51:07.46\00:51:09.70
All right; all
right. For not accomplishing
00:51:09.90\00:51:11.73
what you were unable to do.
00:51:11.93\00:51:13.37
God just wants us
to do what we can.
00:51:14.54\00:51:16.97
And think how
effective the church would be,
00:51:18.34\00:51:21.24
how powerful the
gospel witness would be,
00:51:22.44\00:51:25.21
if every child of God
00:51:26.58\00:51:29.32
simply did what they could.
00:51:29.52\00:51:34.82
The truth is in the
church of God everybody's not
00:51:35.76\00:51:37.59
pulling their
weight. All right... amen.
00:51:37.79\00:51:41.56
Any pastor who
looks at his minutes knows
00:51:42.16\00:51:45.83
and his
financial records knows...
00:51:46.03\00:51:47.74
And it's the same with
the Thompsonville church.
00:51:48.14\00:51:49.94
We have about 1/3 of the church
00:51:50.34\00:51:52.61
that's consistently
carrying the weight and the work
00:51:52.81\00:51:55.94
of the church. That's
in ANY Adventist church.
00:51:56.14\00:51:58.75
Ellen White said years ago
that if Christ would have come
00:52:00.72\00:52:03.02
less than one in twenty
00:52:03.42\00:52:06.02
ready for the Lord to come.
00:52:06.42\00:52:08.86
Christ is saying:
"Just do what you can. "
00:52:10.39\00:52:12.83
We live in what I
call "the age of do. "
00:52:14.86\00:52:18.43
Now the operative
text for us has been
00:52:19.67\00:52:24.14
Matthew 28:19-20
00:52:24.34\00:52:26.57
which is also... it's a promise
00:52:26.98\00:52:29.44
and a prophecy.
00:52:29.84\00:52:31.55
The work of God will be done.
00:52:32.71\00:52:34.85
Amen? Amen. The work
of Christ will be done.
00:52:35.05\00:52:38.25
Every man, woman, boy,
or girl will have a chance
00:52:38.45\00:52:41.09
to make an intelligent decision.
00:52:41.29\00:52:43.32
That's going to happen.
00:52:43.73\00:52:45.36
Everyone is going to hear.
00:52:46.23\00:52:48.10
That's what 3ABN is about;
that's what the other channels
00:52:48.30\00:52:51.53
are about; that's what
the SDA church is about.
00:52:51.73\00:52:54.00
The question is:
00:52:57.64\00:52:59.57
once you know
00:53:00.54\00:53:04.31
what are you going to do?
00:53:05.88\00:53:10.05
It's always been about do.
00:53:11.62\00:53:14.36
It's not enough just to know...
00:53:15.32\00:53:17.59
you've gotta do.
00:53:18.09\00:53:19.79
When you read this story
00:53:20.90\00:53:23.20
Christ says wherever
the gospel is preached
00:53:23.50\00:53:26.77
this story has to be told
00:53:27.90\00:53:30.07
because she did what she could.
00:53:30.47\00:53:34.38
So if your church considers
itself a full gospel church,
00:53:35.04\00:53:38.01
it's gotta include this story
00:53:38.21\00:53:39.65
because she had an opportunity
to do something for the Lord.
00:53:40.85\00:53:43.79
A lot of things
she could not do,
00:53:44.92\00:53:46.69
but what she could
do that she did do.
00:53:47.52\00:53:52.79
And I think the
dividing line in judgment
00:53:53.83\00:53:56.03
will not be what you know,
00:53:56.43\00:53:58.03
not necessarily what you said.
00:53:58.63\00:54:01.04
"What did you do? "
00:54:02.37\00:54:03.87
"Once you knew,
what did you do? "
00:54:05.11\00:54:11.08
And Christ doesn't ask us
to climb the highest mountain,
00:54:12.71\00:54:16.38
swim the widest sea.
00:54:18.02\00:54:19.85
He says: "Just
do what you can. "
00:54:20.56\00:54:22.46
"Just DO what you can. "
00:54:22.66\00:54:25.83
And He will
encourage and enable us.
00:54:27.26\00:54:29.83
We were saying before in
00:54:30.23\00:54:31.57
Matthew chapter 28
verses 18, 19, and 20...
00:54:31.60\00:54:36.37
You will know that
the words for power
00:54:37.61\00:54:42.31
in the New Testament are
exousia which is authority
00:54:42.51\00:54:47.15
and dunamis
which is dynamite power
00:54:47.35\00:54:50.72
to get things done.
00:54:51.02\00:54:52.62
It was interesting that
Mollie used those two texts
00:54:53.46\00:54:56.36
that give both
sides of that coin.
00:54:56.56\00:54:58.63
Matthew 28:19-20... authority.
00:54:58.83\00:55:02.06
That's Christ's guarantee
that when you step out for Him
00:55:02.46\00:55:05.90
your job will be successful
00:55:06.30\00:55:09.34
if you do it in the power
and strength of Jesus Christ.
00:55:09.54\00:55:13.31
Amen! That's a guarantee.
00:55:13.51\00:55:15.34
You have the power,
the authority, the right
00:55:15.74\00:55:19.78
to live a
victorious life. Hallelujah!
00:55:21.25\00:55:24.22
You have the power,
the authority, the right
00:55:24.42\00:55:26.42
to tell Satan "take a hike. "
00:55:26.82\00:55:29.12
You have the power,
the authority, the right
00:55:29.52\00:55:32.53
to live victoriously. Yes!
00:55:32.73\00:55:34.66
You have the power,
the authority, the right
00:55:34.86\00:55:36.87
to speak in Christ's name.
00:55:37.27\00:55:38.87
You have the power,
the authority, the right
00:55:39.27\00:55:41.67
to rebuke the devil.
00:55:41.87\00:55:44.41
Then in Acts 1:8
the word is used again.
00:55:46.84\00:55:50.28
This time it's
dunamis... it's dynamite power.
00:55:50.48\00:55:52.58
It's mighty power.
00:55:52.78\00:55:54.15
When Christ went to
Nazareth twice He was rejected.
00:55:54.35\00:55:56.85
Two times! And the
Bible says He was able to do
00:55:57.25\00:56:00.66
"no mighty works. "
When you look up that word
00:56:00.86\00:56:04.59
mighty works in the Greek
00:56:04.79\00:56:06.86
it's that same dunamis power.
00:56:07.06\00:56:09.33
So in Nazareth
Christ couldn't do any
00:56:09.73\00:56:13.27
mighty miraculous works.
Mark says He did little things.
00:56:13.47\00:56:16.24
He laid some
hands on some people,
00:56:16.54\00:56:17.87
cured some little
things, but He wasn't able to...
00:56:18.07\00:56:20.61
to do the kinds of
things He wanted to do
00:56:20.81\00:56:22.84
because of unbelief.
00:56:23.04\00:56:25.51
Christ wants to do
mighty works in our lives,
00:56:27.92\00:56:30.35
ladies and gentlemen.
00:56:30.55\00:56:31.89
He doesn't want you to
just have crumbs from the table
00:56:32.52\00:56:35.69
of the Master. He
wants to do mighty works.
00:56:35.89\00:56:39.66
So why aren't we
getting mighty works?
00:56:39.86\00:56:41.86
Why aren't we
seeing mountains moved?
00:56:42.06\00:56:44.77
Why aren't great
things happening?
00:56:44.97\00:56:46.74
I think it's
because of unbelief.
00:56:48.30\00:56:49.94
I don't think
we're ready for it yet.
00:56:50.81\00:56:52.54
But ladies and gentlemen:
mighty works are coming
00:56:52.94\00:56:57.95
and I want them to
be worked through me.
00:56:58.55\00:57:01.72
Amen? Amen!
00:57:02.22\00:57:03.79
One quick story then I'm done.
00:57:04.09\00:57:05.42
Years ago I was
pastoring the Ebenezer church
00:57:05.69\00:57:07.36
and a woman came...
called me to her house
00:57:07.56\00:57:09.56
Sabbath afternoon and
her daughter looked like
00:57:09.76\00:57:12.39
she was near death.
00:57:12.59\00:57:14.10
She said: "Pastor, pray
for her and she'll be fine. "
00:57:14.36\00:57:16.36
I said: "You need to take
that woman to the hospital...
00:57:17.40\00:57:19.30
this girl to the hospital.
" Said: "No pastor, you pray
00:57:19.50\00:57:21.14
and she'll be fine. " That
was a heavy weight to put on
00:57:21.34\00:57:24.14
a young preacher
just out of school.
00:57:24.34\00:57:25.77
The girl's barely breathing.
00:57:26.17\00:57:28.31
Chest heaving, eyes
rolled back, skin ashen.
00:57:28.51\00:57:31.18
"Just pray,
pastor... she'll be fine. "
00:57:31.58\00:57:33.28
