00:01:37.09\00:01:39.86
just a little bit of heaven
during these next several days.
00:01:40.06\00:01:43.33
And we are so
glad that you are here
00:01:43.63\00:01:45.70

00:01:45.90\00:01:48.90
This wonderful crew of
people you see behind me:
00:01:49.10\00:01:51.77
you know them well but I will
take a moment to introduce them.
00:01:51.97\00:01:53.94
There to my far left
Jill and Greg Morikone.
00:01:54.14\00:01:57.91
All the way from
Australia: Sandra Entermann.
00:01:58.11\00:02:02.72
OK. Our pastor, our
friend: Pastor John Lomacang.
00:02:02.92\00:02:06.29
Like that tie, pastor.
The lady Shelley Quinn.
00:02:06.49\00:02:10.03
The lady Tammy Chance.
00:02:11.23\00:02:13.56
Our vice president
and general manager:
00:02:13.76\00:02:15.76
the lady Mollie Steenson.
00:02:15.96\00:02:17.73
The lady Dr. Yvonne Lewis
who I baptized 30+ years ago.
00:02:18.93\00:02:24.71
Mr. Danny Shelton,
our founder and president.
00:02:26.98\00:02:29.14
His brother Kenny Shelton, he
of Behold the Lamb Ministries.
00:02:29.54\00:02:32.78
Fine preacher; good
guy; not a bad shooter, too.
00:02:32.98\00:02:36.48
And our CFO Mr.
Brian Hamilton, who is
00:02:36.69\00:02:40.12
good with figures and is a
pretty handy man with the Word
00:02:40.32\00:02:43.02
also. A good preacher and
a good student of the Word.
00:02:43.22\00:02:46.03
So we are here and you are here
and the presence of God is here.
00:02:46.23\00:02:48.76
And on the piano... oh yes!
We call him "happy fingers. "
00:02:48.96\00:02:52.60
Tim Parton is with us. He
is now the general manager
00:02:53.74\00:02:57.51
of our new Praise Him! Network.
00:02:57.71\00:03:00.91
And doing a very very fine job.
And Tim is just a great guy.
00:03:01.11\00:03:04.71
Great spirit; great
singer; great pianist;
00:03:04.91\00:03:06.68
great Christian; and a
great friend of this ministry.
00:03:06.88\00:03:08.85
Yeah but I want to tell what
he said... take just a moment
00:03:09.05\00:03:11.75
and tell what Tim said
before you brag on him too much.
00:03:11.95\00:03:14.66
For the folks at home I
was telling the audience here
00:03:15.06\00:03:17.66
I have to have vocal
surgery on my vocal cords.
00:03:17.86\00:03:20.36
I've got a nodule and no way
to get around it they tell me.
00:03:20.56\00:03:22.93
So I was telling Tim
all... you know, how you do.
00:03:23.13\00:03:26.40
Said: "Yeah, I've got to have
vocal surgery. Won't be able
00:03:26.60\00:03:28.80
to speak for three
months. " And the doctor said:
00:03:29.00\00:03:31.91
"How long's this
been bothering you? "
00:03:32.11\00:03:33.48
I said: "Well it
started about two years ago. "
00:03:33.68\00:03:35.24
And Tim said... And I said:
"They said if you'd done it
00:03:35.64\00:03:38.21
2 years ago maybe you wouldn't
have to have the surgery. "
00:03:38.41\00:03:41.45
He said: "It's too bad they
couldn't have found you a doctor
00:03:41.65\00:03:44.45
when you were a kid
to help your face. "
00:03:44.65\00:03:46.69
That's all right 'cause
you don't know the things I say
00:03:51.99\00:03:54.20
to him, right? But we
love each other... honestly.
00:03:54.40\00:03:58.00
He's a wonderful
incredible musician. Great guy.
00:03:58.20\00:04:01.64
I told him, I said:
"That doesn't bother me a bit
00:04:01.84\00:04:03.57
'cause my dad used to say to me:
00:04:03.77\00:04:05.37
"Son, is your face hurting you?
00:04:05.57\00:04:06.91
I said: "No. "
Feel of it. "Why? "
00:04:07.01\00:04:09.18
He said: "It's killing me! "
00:04:09.38\00:04:10.71
So... My 13th birthday...
You want to be a man, right?
00:04:11.78\00:04:16.32
"Dad... I'm 13 today! " "No,
son, you can't be that old. "
00:04:16.52\00:04:21.02
I said: "No, I'm 13 years old. "
00:04:21.42\00:04:23.93
"No, really? " "Yeah... why? "
00:04:24.33\00:04:26.70
"You couldn't of got
that ugly in just 13 years! "
00:04:26.90\00:04:29.20
he said. So Tim, that's
nothing. That's Little League
00:04:29.50\00:04:32.57
stuff you're giving me.
All right? I'm used to it.
00:04:32.77\00:04:35.67
Praise the Lord! I
think I'm going to change
00:04:36.07\00:04:37.84
the flavor here just a
little. Pastor, what do you say?
00:04:38.04\00:04:40.28
We want to talk about
and sing about heaven.
00:04:40.88\00:04:44.28
It's a song I'm sure you
all know. I'm told the words
00:04:44.48\00:04:46.45
will be on the screen:
When We All Get To Heaven.
00:04:46.65\00:04:50.32
All right, let's sing it:
00:04:54.49\00:04:55.82
Amen and amen!
Very very well done.
00:06:41.76\00:06:44.27
Pastor John, I wonder if
you could lead us in a prayer?
00:06:44.63\00:06:47.74
Let's bow our heads.
00:06:48.24\00:06:49.84
Our loving Father in
heaven, as we begin this
00:06:50.94\00:06:54.34
time of worship and
praise in Your holy presence
00:06:54.54\00:06:58.38
Father, remind us of
how beautiful Christ...
00:06:59.61\00:07:03.02
His life... His sacrifice.
00:07:03.82\00:07:07.59
Lord, this door
that He has opened for us
00:07:08.69\00:07:11.76
could not have been
opened by anyone else.
00:07:12.16\00:07:14.86
And as we communicate this
message of the emancipation
00:07:15.46\00:07:19.37
proclamation - the
gospel, the good news -
00:07:19.57\00:07:22.20
we pray that through it
all Jesus will be exalted.
00:07:22.40\00:07:26.34
Father, we focus
on the sanctuary.
00:07:26.94\00:07:29.38
Christ, our High Priest, tonight
is interceding in our behalf.
00:07:29.58\00:07:34.82
That the day will come soon when
we can see Him face to face.
00:07:35.02\00:07:39.22
Amen! And so Lord, come
down and fill this place
00:07:39.42\00:07:41.92
not only with the
knowledge of Your glory
00:07:42.12\00:07:44.26
but may Your holy
angels abide with us.
00:07:44.46\00:07:46.73
May the unseen guest, the
power of Your Holy Spirit,
00:07:46.93\00:07:49.93
come and fill our souls.
00:07:50.13\00:07:52.10
May this be more than
just sermons and messages
00:07:52.50\00:07:54.47
and music and fellowship.
00:07:54.67\00:07:56.00
But may this be a time
of a season of refreshing
00:07:56.20\00:07:58.84
strengthening us for the
journey that is ahead of us.
00:07:59.04\00:08:02.04
Father, we pray a blessing
tonight not only on all those
00:08:02.24\00:08:05.28
who have come but all those
who will proclaim this message,
00:08:05.48\00:08:08.58
those who will sing the
message. And tonight, Father,
00:08:08.78\00:08:11.15
I lift up in a
special way Danny, Lord,
00:08:11.35\00:08:13.49
as his voice is an issue.
But Lord, you have given him
00:08:13.69\00:08:16.83
more than just a voice.
You've given him a vision
00:08:17.03\00:08:19.73
and a heart of dedication.
00:08:19.93\00:08:21.26
So bless him, Lord,
and strengthen each of us
00:08:21.40\00:08:23.80
for this Camp
Meeting. And when it is done
00:08:24.00\00:08:25.70
may we know that we
have been in Your presence.
00:08:25.90\00:08:28.14
In Jesus' precious
and holy name, Amen. Amen!
00:08:28.34\00:08:32.74
I wonder if Tina can come out?
00:08:32.94\00:08:36.01
We have a special guest. I
was looking for Mandy earlier.
00:08:36.21\00:08:38.85
I don't know if Mandy's
out here... if she made it.
00:08:39.05\00:08:41.38
Where you at, Mandy?
00:08:41.58\00:08:42.92
Greg, can...
Mandy, can you come up?
00:08:43.02\00:08:45.42
Can Greg maybe go
help Mandy come up?
00:08:45.62\00:08:47.82
We've got Tina.
Come on out here, Tina.
00:08:48.02\00:08:50.39
This is... It's so
wonderful to be here!
00:08:53.26\00:08:56.63
I just look forward to
Camp Meeting every year.
00:08:56.83\00:09:00.27
Oh, we look forward...
Every year she and George come.
00:09:00.47\00:09:02.74
George is not
with you? No he's not.
00:09:02.94\00:09:04.57
But he's being taken care of and
I know he would love to be here.
00:09:04.77\00:09:08.14
Oh absolutely. I mean
he thinks 100% of 3ABN.
00:09:08.34\00:09:11.71
I know, and so does Tina.
She's been coming for years.
00:09:11.91\00:09:14.42
Some of the greatest
supporters. Everywhere she goes
00:09:14.82\00:09:17.22
she tells people about 3ABN.
She encourages them about it.
00:09:17.42\00:09:20.76
And also, she and George
have been tremendous givers
00:09:20.96\00:09:23.76
to 3ABN. Sacrificially
they give and support every way.
00:09:23.96\00:09:27.33
And so tonight I saw you here.
And I said: "I saw Mandy earlier
00:09:27.53\00:09:30.53
and some of the folks that
way back when we first started
00:09:30.73\00:09:33.60
having Camp Meetings
ya'll been coming. So...
00:09:33.80\00:09:35.77
Thank you so much,
Tina. We love you so much
00:09:35.97\00:09:38.87
and appreciate... Tell
George that we love him.
00:09:39.07\00:09:41.18
I will... I certainly will.
00:09:41.38\00:09:43.24
And I know he'd love to be here.
00:09:43.45\00:09:44.88
All right. And I was just
thinking... think about 3ABN
00:09:45.08\00:09:47.78
all the time in our
lives. And I get a dozen of the
00:09:48.48\00:09:51.15
World magazines and I take and
put them in different TV places
00:09:51.35\00:09:55.66
hoping that people
will read them. OK!
00:09:55.86\00:09:57.83
All right. We try to
put them to good use.
00:09:58.03\00:10:00.46
All right. Thank
you so much. God bless.
00:10:00.66\00:10:03.23
Mandy, can you
come over here a second?
00:10:03.43\00:10:05.40
Let me give you a hug. OK.
00:10:05.80\00:10:07.87
You look pretty tonight. Doesn't
Mandy look pretty tonight?
00:10:08.37\00:10:12.07
Mandy's been through a
lot in the last few years.
00:10:12.47\00:10:15.14
Been through cancer,
right? I have a rare cancer!
00:10:15.34\00:10:18.58
It was called thymoma, and
I wasn't supposed to be alive
00:10:18.78\00:10:21.75
today. But the Lord blessed me.
00:10:21.95\00:10:23.89
Said I have a lot of work
to do. To come back to 3ABN
00:10:24.09\00:10:27.36
and see Danny and all
the crew again one more time.
00:10:27.56\00:10:30.56
So when the "Blessing
Is on the GO!" came by
00:10:30.76\00:10:32.89
I said: "I just can't miss
it if I have to drive myself! "
00:10:33.09\00:10:35.73
I have a young lady named
Tiliki... and she drove us.
00:10:36.13\00:10:42.04
She said: "Miss
Andrews, I'll drive you. "
00:10:42.44\00:10:45.37
And so I just thank
the Lord to be here.
00:10:45.57\00:10:47.58
Mandy would come in years past
literally bringing sometimes
00:10:47.81\00:10:52.21
two busloads of people
from Oakwood area. Literally
00:10:52.45\00:10:55.92
I'm talking about big busses
like Greyhounds. Bring them up.
00:10:56.12\00:10:58.95
Sometimes in one bus load.
00:10:59.29\00:11:00.76
But she's done
that for so many years.
00:11:00.96\00:11:03.73
Thank you for your love and
prayers and financial support.
00:11:03.93\00:11:06.29
We love you, and we're praying
for your continued healing
00:11:06.49\00:11:09.36
in your life. OK. I'm
praying for you, Danny.
00:11:09.56\00:11:12.07
The Lord has used
you in a might way...
00:11:12.27\00:11:13.84
He's not through with you yet!
00:11:14.04\00:11:15.47
All right. Well let's both plan
on... if the Lord doesn't come
00:11:15.67\00:11:19.51
let's plan on being here next
Camp Meeting together, right?
00:11:19.71\00:11:22.68
That's right. I sure will
be here. If the Lord sees fit
00:11:22.88\00:11:24.81
for me to be
here, I will be here!
00:11:25.01\00:11:26.35
All right. Thank
you so much. God bless.
00:11:27.45\00:11:29.78
All right. You know,
Ellen Whie says that there are
00:11:30.19\00:11:33.92
special blessings that
are reserved for Camp Meeting.
00:11:34.12\00:11:36.42
It is in God's plan that
there are special blessings,
00:11:36.83\00:11:39.73
special seasons, special
times, when the Holy Spirit
00:11:39.93\00:11:42.50
draws very very close
during the Camp Meeting season.
00:11:42.70\00:11:46.60
So let's pray for that,
but let's look for that...
00:11:46.90\00:11:49.07
that God will have His way
in our lives during the next
00:11:49.47\00:11:52.07
several days.
Tonight's musical program:
00:11:52.27\00:11:53.98
we're just going to run through
the names, and rather than
00:11:54.34\00:11:56.85
come out and introduce
each one behind each one.
00:11:57.05\00:11:59.01
First we're going to
hear from Sandra Entermann:
00:11:59.21\00:12:02.32
My Heavenly
Father Watches Over Me.
00:12:02.52\00:12:04.55
Then our pastor John
Lomacang will sing Cornerstone.
00:12:04.95\00:12:08.49
Then we move to the piano.
Tim Parton will sing and play.
00:12:08.69\00:12:12.19
He can chew gum and
talk at the same time,
00:12:12.39\00:12:15.20
bless your heart.
Followed by Tammy Chance
00:12:15.40\00:12:19.03
and then I will close
out this particular set.
00:12:19.23\00:12:22.34
But God is going to be
here. Pray for each singer.
00:12:22.54\00:12:24.51
But pray for yourselves, too,
that your hearts will be open
00:12:24.71\00:12:26.78
to the Spirit of God.
Music is a form of worship.
00:12:26.98\00:12:29.28
And what we want to do is
worship the Lord in spirit
00:12:29.48\00:12:32.21
and in truth over
the next several days.
00:12:32.41\00:12:34.58
God bless you.
00:12:34.78\00:12:36.45
I just... I couldn't leave.
00:12:36.95\00:12:39.29
Sandra Entermann is
one of my favorite singers,
00:12:39.69\00:12:42.32
but I just wanted to
say one thing very quickly.
00:12:42.72\00:12:46.49
We're so excited about the
"GO!" Evangelistic Team members
00:12:46.90\00:12:50.77
who are there. There were so
many here today for our seminars
00:12:50.97\00:12:53.60
and I just wanted to
mention to those of you at home
00:12:53.90\00:12:57.87
the ministry of Jesus Christ
was a ministry of evangelism.
00:12:58.07\00:13:01.84
And He taught the crowds,
and then He went and ministered
00:13:02.04\00:13:05.65
one on one... and
thus He gave us the example
00:13:05.85\00:13:08.28
that we are to support world
evangelism where the preachers
00:13:08.48\00:13:12.39
go out and teachers or
3ABN is going around the world,
00:13:12.59\00:13:16.02
and we are to
personally witness.
00:13:16.22\00:13:19.03
And that's what makes
the "Blessing on the GO! "
00:13:19.23\00:13:22.33
such an exciting program
because you're doing both
00:13:22.53\00:13:27.00
when you become a "GO!"
Evangelistic Team member.
00:13:27.20\00:13:30.21
You are
supporting around the world
00:13:30.41\00:13:32.57
and you're supporting
in your own neighborhood.
00:13:32.77\00:13:35.38
So we want to thank you and
tell you: inside your bulletin
00:13:35.58\00:13:38.91
there is, for those of
you who've yet to sign up...
00:13:39.11\00:13:41.88
You know, it is at the
heart. Evangelism's at the heart
00:13:42.08\00:13:47.06
of the Great Commission,
and it's our active obedience
00:13:47.26\00:13:52.43
to evangelize. So you can
sign up. Give it to one of us
00:13:52.63\00:13:56.87
or put it in the offering plate
this Sabbath. Thank you so much.
00:13:57.07\00:13:59.90
Sandra.
00:14:00.50\00:14:02.07
I trust in God
00:14:21.96\00:14:25.39
wherever I may be,
00:14:25.79\00:14:30.37
Upon the land
00:14:30.77\00:14:33.74
or on the rolling sea,
00:14:33.94\00:14:38.61
For come what may,
00:14:39.01\00:14:42.74
from day to day,
00:14:42.94\00:14:47.08
my heavn'ly Father watches
00:14:47.28\00:14:51.49
over me.
00:14:51.69\00:14:55.72
I trust in God,
00:14:55.92\00:14:59.89
I know He cares for me,
00:15:00.10\00:15:03.83
On mountain bleak
00:15:04.03\00:15:07.24
or on the stormy sea;
00:15:07.44\00:15:12.07
Tho' billows roll,
00:15:12.27\00:15:16.04
He keeps my soul,
00:15:16.34\00:15:19.81
My heavn'ly Father
00:15:20.22\00:15:22.98
watches over me.
00:15:23.18\00:15:29.12
He makes the rose
00:15:40.94\00:15:44.11
an object of His care,
00:15:44.31\00:15:48.78
He guides the eagle
00:15:49.08\00:15:52.55
thru the pathless air,
00:15:52.75\00:15:56.55
And surely He
00:15:56.95\00:16:00.62
remembers me,
00:16:00.82\00:16:04.73
My heavn'ly Father
00:16:04.93\00:16:07.56
watches over me.
00:16:07.76\00:16:12.73
I trust in God,
00:16:13.13\00:16:16.97
I know He cares for me,
00:16:17.17\00:16:20.68
On mountain bleak
00:16:20.88\00:16:23.85
or on the stormy sea;
00:16:24.05\00:16:28.45
Tho' billows roll,
00:16:28.65\00:16:32.25
He keeps my soul,
00:16:32.65\00:16:36.26
My heavn'ly Father
00:16:36.46\00:16:38.93
watches over me.
00:16:39.13\00:16:44.33
I trust in God,
00:16:44.73\00:16:48.10
I know He cares for me,
00:16:48.50\00:16:52.07
On mountain bleak
00:16:52.27\00:16:55.04
or on the stormy sea;
00:16:55.24\00:16:59.88
Tho' billows roll,
00:17:00.08\00:17:03.95
He keeps my soul,
00:17:04.15\00:17:07.82
My heavn'ly Father
00:17:08.02\00:17:10.79
watches over
00:17:10.99\00:17:14.26
me...
00:17:14.46\00:17:20.40
my heavn'ly Father
00:17:21.44\00:17:25.21
watches
00:17:25.41\00:17:26.81
over
00:17:27.01\00:17:30.98
me.
00:17:31.58\00:17:37.55
Amen!
00:17:49.73\00:17:51.43
Isn't that a wonderful message?
00:17:56.30\00:17:58.21
Amen! That we don't have
to worry about ever being left
00:17:58.41\00:18:01.04
without the watchful
care of our heavenly Father.
00:18:01.44\00:18:04.08
I was sitting back there listen-
ing to the words in that song
00:18:05.25\00:18:08.58
and I was thinking about
the world in which we live today
00:18:08.78\00:18:10.82
and how so many things that
fade in time are built on shaky
00:18:11.22\00:18:15.19
foundations... foundations
that endure just for a while.
00:18:15.39\00:18:19.09
Even in our own lives
foundations that endure just
00:18:19.29\00:18:22.13
only as long as
trials don't come.
00:18:22.33\00:18:25.07
And then I remember a few
weeks ago I was in my house.
00:18:25.47\00:18:29.37
I have old soundtracks
that I bought way back in the
00:18:31.47\00:18:35.31
1980's... 1979.
00:18:35.51\00:18:37.48
I was going through my
library and I came upon one
00:18:37.68\00:18:40.02
that I hadn't heard in a
long time entitled Cornerstone.
00:18:40.22\00:18:44.12
And I looked at
it and to my surprise
00:18:44.32\00:18:46.32
I saw the name Lari Goss.
00:18:46.52\00:18:48.82
And I thought:
"Wow, the same Lari Goss
00:18:49.02\00:18:51.69
that worked on one
of our 3ABN projects! "
00:18:51.89\00:18:54.90
And I thought: "He wrote that
song a number of years ago. "
00:18:55.30\00:18:59.00
And although time has
passed, the beauty of that song
00:18:59.20\00:19:02.97
still lasts today because
Jesus is still our Cornerstone.
00:19:03.17\00:19:07.61
Jesus is the Cornerstone,
00:19:28.96\00:19:34.40
came for sinners to atone;
00:19:35.27\00:19:40.88
Tho' rejected by His own,
00:19:41.88\00:19:47.12
He remains the Cornerstone...
00:19:48.05\00:19:53.69
yes, Jesus is the Cornerstone.
00:19:53.89\00:19:59.89
When I am by sin oppressed,
00:20:00.50\00:20:05.57
on that Stone I am at rest;
00:20:06.77\00:20:12.37
When the seeds
of truth are sown,
00:20:12.67\00:20:18.61
He remains the Cornerstone...
00:20:19.45\00:20:25.02
yes, Jesus is
00:20:25.22\00:20:28.56
the Cornerstone.
00:20:29.06\00:20:34.73
Rock of Ages,
00:20:37.57\00:20:42.64
cleft for me,
00:20:43.57\00:20:49.54
let me hide
00:20:50.58\00:20:56.52
myself in Thee.
00:20:56.72\00:21:01.89
O Rock of Ages,
00:21:03.46\00:21:07.13
so secure,
00:21:07.33\00:21:10.17
for all time it shall endure;
00:21:10.57\00:21:16.50
till His children
00:21:17.07\00:21:20.28
reach their home,
00:21:20.48\00:21:23.41
He'll remain
00:21:23.71\00:21:25.81
the Cornerstone!
00:21:26.11\00:21:31.72
From the breaking
00:21:31.92\00:21:37.23
of the dawn,
00:21:37.43\00:21:40.40
Or till our footsteps
00:21:40.80\00:21:43.67
cease to roam;
00:21:44.07\00:21:47.14
Ever let this truth be known:
00:21:47.70\00:21:53.71
that Jesus is
00:21:53.91\00:21:57.05
the Cornerstone...
00:21:57.25\00:22:03.22
Jesus is the
00:22:05.12\00:22:09.02
Cornerstone.
00:22:09.42\00:22:15.40
Amen!
00:22:27.44\00:22:29.41
He's the King of all glory,
00:22:41.69\00:22:44.49
and He is God.
00:22:47.23\00:22:49.16
He's the Lion of Judah,
00:22:50.17\00:22:52.47
the sweet Rose of Sharon,
00:22:52.67\00:22:54.57
the fairest of
10,000... Ancient of Days.
00:22:54.77\00:22:58.64
The Alpha, Omega,
00:22:59.04\00:23:00.78
the King of all glory,
00:23:01.18\00:23:03.01
the bright Morning Star
and the God of my praise.
00:23:03.21\00:23:07.38
Who can describe
everything that He is?
00:23:07.78\00:23:11.69
All I can say is:
"He's mine and I'm His! "
00:23:12.09\00:23:17.89
'Cause the One who
walks on the wings of the wind
00:23:18.09\00:23:22.30
walks beside me.
00:23:22.50\00:23:26.13
And the One who's
holding the world in His hand
00:23:26.33\00:23:30.81
holds my heart.
00:23:31.01\00:23:34.71
He spoke, and the
world was created in space
00:23:34.91\00:23:39.68
and yet He was
willing to die in my place!
00:23:39.88\00:23:43.99
Redeemer, Deliverer,
the ransom that set my soul
00:23:44.29\00:23:48.96
free!
00:23:49.16\00:23:51.89
Hallelujah!
00:23:52.09\00:23:53.66
What a Savior He is to me!
00:23:54.06\00:24:00.04
He's the
strength in my weakness,
00:24:04.34\00:24:06.84
the joy in my sorrow,
00:24:07.04\00:24:08.84
the peace like a river
that flows through my life.
00:24:09.04\00:24:12.95
He's new morning mercies
00:24:13.15\00:24:15.05
and hope for the journey
00:24:15.45\00:24:17.19
and love that will
conquer the struggle and strife.
00:24:17.39\00:24:21.36
Who can describe
everything that He is?
00:24:21.76\00:24:25.46
All I can say is
"He's mine and I'm His! "
00:24:25.66\00:24:31.43
'Cause the One who
walks on the wings of the wind
00:24:31.63\00:24:35.87
walks beside me.
00:24:36.27\00:24:39.67
And the One who's
holding the world in His hand
00:24:39.87\00:24:43.95
holds my heart.
00:24:44.15\00:24:48.18
He spoke and the
world was created in space
00:24:48.58\00:24:52.55
and yet He was
willing to die in my place!
00:24:52.75\00:24:56.73
Redeemer, Deliverer,
00:24:57.13\00:24:59.23
ransom that set my soul free.
00:24:59.43\00:25:04.80
Hallelujah!
00:25:05.00\00:25:06.77
What a Savior He is to me!
00:25:07.07\00:25:13.04
Oh, I can't describe
everything that He is.
00:25:13.58\00:25:17.91
All I can say is:
"He's mine and I'm His! "
00:25:18.21\00:25:23.79
'Cause the One who
walks on the wings of the wind
00:25:23.99\00:25:28.09
walks right beside me.
00:25:28.29\00:25:32.09
And the One who's
holding the world in His hand
00:25:32.29\00:25:36.33
holds my heart.
00:25:36.53\00:25:40.40
He spoke and the
world was created in space
00:25:40.80\00:25:44.81
yet He was willing
to die in my place!
00:25:45.21\00:25:48.94
Redeemer, Deliverer,
00:25:49.14\00:25:51.45
ransom that set my soul free.
00:25:51.65\00:25:56.79
Hallelujah!
00:25:57.19\00:25:58.65
What a Savior He is to me!
00:25:59.25\00:26:05.23
Hallelujah!
00:26:05.43\00:26:07.40
What a Savior
00:26:07.60\00:26:10.07
He is
00:26:10.27\00:26:14.14
to me!
00:26:14.70\00:26:20.64
Amen! Amen!
00:26:24.98\00:26:27.02
When anyone looks at me
00:26:41.40\00:26:46.10
let them see Jesus.
00:26:46.50\00:26:51.21
Let me be a reflection
00:26:53.51\00:26:57.05
of His love and mercy to them.
00:26:57.45\00:27:03.35
When they start to read
00:27:06.59\00:27:09.42
my life story
00:27:09.82\00:27:12.86
I want it to
bring my Savior glory.
00:27:13.26\00:27:19.23
When anyone looks at me
00:27:19.43\00:27:23.57
let them see Him.
00:27:23.77\00:27:28.31
I'm not lookin' for fortune
00:27:32.91\00:27:37.22
and I'm not seeking for fame.
00:27:38.19\00:27:43.73
I'm not so concerned
00:27:44.53\00:27:47.36
that all the
world knows my name.
00:27:47.86\00:27:53.84
But I am
concerned with one passion:
00:27:57.21\00:28:02.81
to tell what the
Lord's done for me.
00:28:03.21\00:28:09.18
And I want my life
00:28:09.92\00:28:12.72
to shine with a light
00:28:12.92\00:28:15.72
so all those around me can see.
00:28:16.22\00:28:22.16
When anyone looks at me
00:28:22.46\00:28:27.37
let them see Jesus.
00:28:27.77\00:28:32.14
Let me be a reflection
00:28:34.81\00:28:38.11
of His love and mercy to them.
00:28:38.41\00:28:44.35
Mmm-mmm-mmm.
00:28:44.85\00:28:47.72
When they start to read
00:28:47.92\00:28:50.66
my life story
00:28:51.06\00:28:54.00
I want it to
bring my Savior glory.
00:28:54.30\00:29:00.24
When anyone looks at me
00:29:00.54\00:29:04.77
let them see Him.
00:29:04.97\00:29:09.68
Every good and
perfect gift that I possess
00:29:13.42\00:29:18.72
was sent from the Father above.
00:29:19.42\00:29:25.16
In thanks for the way
that I've truly been blessed
00:29:25.36\00:29:31.17
I'll open my heart
and give to the world
00:29:31.57\00:29:37.44
His love.
00:29:37.84\00:29:41.91
When anyone looks at me
00:29:44.65\00:29:49.45
let them see Jesus.
00:29:49.85\00:29:54.66
Let me be a reflection
00:29:56.66\00:30:00.23
of His love and mercy to them.
00:30:00.53\00:30:06.50
Ooh-ooh-ooh.
00:30:06.90\00:30:09.67
When they start to read
00:30:10.07\00:30:12.84
my life story
00:30:13.24\00:30:16.14
I want it to bring
00:30:16.34\00:30:18.58
my Savior glory.
00:30:18.78\00:30:22.58
When anyone looks at me...
00:30:22.78\00:30:28.26
When anyone looks at me...
00:30:29.22\00:30:35.16
When anyone looks at me
00:30:35.46\00:30:41.40
let them
00:30:42.57\00:30:44.67
see Him.
00:30:45.17\00:30:50.15
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh.
00:30:50.55\00:30:56.48
Amen!
00:30:57.92\00:30:59.85
We have just a
little extra time, and so
00:31:03.26\00:31:05.93
some years ago a young
lady and her husband moved here.
00:31:06.33\00:31:10.50
And shortly after we met her
00:31:10.90\00:31:14.57
we realized that she could sing!
00:31:14.77\00:31:17.34
And out of that little
frame came a really big voice!
00:31:17.54\00:31:21.34
And she and her husband, Mike...
00:31:21.74\00:31:24.25
for many years he was
the pianist and she sang.
00:31:24.65\00:31:27.28
And we lost Mike last October.
00:31:27.88\00:31:30.49
And just a wonderful person
who gave his heart to the Lord.
00:31:30.89\00:31:34.12
And we were there in
the hospital when he passed.
00:31:34.32\00:31:36.49
And we were wondering who
was going to help Celestine
00:31:36.89\00:31:40.33
kind of carry on, and her daugh-
ter stepped up to the plate.
00:31:40.53\00:31:45.60
And we have a very blessed
school here at the Thompsonville
00:31:46.77\00:31:50.47
school. Miss Evelyn Hainey, the
teacher for the larger grades,
00:31:50.67\00:31:53.68
teaches music to
the young people.
00:31:53.88\00:31:56.34
And all the young people
in this school play several
00:31:56.54\00:32:00.28
instruments... usually 3, 4, 5.
00:32:00.48\00:32:04.25
And Farrah
plays what, Celestine?
00:32:04.55\00:32:06.82
Piano? She plays sixteen?
00:32:07.02\00:32:09.52
Sixteen. Sixteen... one six.
00:32:09.72\00:32:14.10
Ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen,
fourteen, fifteen, sixteen.
00:32:14.70\00:32:18.07
Sixteen instruments...
AND she plays the piano.
00:32:18.27\00:32:22.04
And just a wonderful young lady.
00:32:22.24\00:32:24.47
And what are you
going to sing, Celestine?
00:32:24.67\00:32:26.54
It's The Savior Is Waiting.
00:32:26.94\00:32:28.38
The Savior Is Waiting.
This is Celestine Barry
00:32:28.58\00:32:31.01
and her daughter
Farrah Barry. Thank you. Amen!
00:32:31.21\00:32:35.15
The Savior is waiting
00:32:58.34\00:33:03.41
to enter your heart;
00:33:03.81\00:33:08.15
Why don't you let Him
00:33:09.05\00:33:12.99
come in?
00:33:13.39\00:33:16.26
There's nothing
00:33:17.96\00:33:20.23
in this world
00:33:20.53\00:33:22.86
to keep you apart,
00:33:23.06\00:33:27.10
What is your answer to Him?
00:33:28.17\00:33:34.18
Time after time,
00:33:36.95\00:33:40.52
He has waited before,
00:33:40.92\00:33:44.72
And now
00:33:45.35\00:33:46.96
He is waiting again.
00:33:47.36\00:33:52.16
To see if you're willing
00:33:53.60\00:33:57.90
to open the door,
00:33:58.10\00:34:02.44
Oh, how He wants to
00:34:02.84\00:34:06.94
come in.
00:34:07.34\00:34:10.48
If you'll take one step
00:34:22.02\00:34:26.53
t'ward the Savior, my friend;
00:34:26.73\00:34:31.87
You'll find His arms open wide.
00:34:33.17\00:34:39.07
Receive Him
00:34:41.24\00:34:43.41
and all of your
darkness will end.
00:34:43.91\00:34:49.88
Within your heart
00:34:50.72\00:34:53.86
He'll abide.
00:34:54.06\00:34:58.19
Time after time,
00:34:59.39\00:35:03.00
He has waited before,
00:35:03.20\00:35:06.90
And now
00:35:07.30\00:35:08.70
He is waiting again.
00:35:09.10\00:35:14.04
To see if you're willing
00:35:15.61\00:35:19.68
to open the door,
00:35:19.98\00:35:24.55
Oh, how He wants to
00:35:25.05\00:35:28.99
come in.
00:35:29.39\00:35:33.43
To see if you're willing
00:35:54.98\00:35:59.19
to open the door,
00:35:59.39\00:36:05.36
Oh, how He wants to
00:36:08.46\00:36:14.20
come in.
00:36:15.00\00:36:20.08
AMEN!
00:36:47.44\00:36:49.37
Amen. Thank you so very much.
Isn't she a wonderful pianist?
00:36:49.57\00:36:54.18
Amen! She really
does a fabulous job!
00:36:54.38\00:36:56.34
Sabbath morning in the Spring
00:36:56.75\00:36:58.81
and the family's
heading to Sabbath School.
00:36:59.21\00:37:02.18
And the little boy has
a little statement to make
00:37:02.38\00:37:06.05
and to say before the whole
church. It's thirteenth Sabbath
00:37:06.25\00:37:09.19
and he is nervous as
a cat on a hot tin roof.
00:37:09.59\00:37:13.56
Just a few words: trust in God.
00:37:14.16\00:37:17.80
He's got them on a
little piece of paper.
00:37:18.20\00:37:20.64
He's sitting in the back of
the car reading his little piece
00:37:21.04\00:37:23.07
of paper: Trust
in God; trust in God.
00:37:23.27\00:37:25.17
Hoping that he won't
forget: trust in God.
00:37:25.37\00:37:27.21
And it's a warm Spring day.
00:37:27.41\00:37:28.84
And so the father
rolls down the windows.
00:37:29.24\00:37:32.65
He pushed a button and
all the windows come down.
00:37:32.85\00:37:34.42
And the little fellow
wasn't expecting that.
00:37:34.82\00:37:37.25
And all of a sudden
a gust of wind blew in
00:37:37.45\00:37:39.75
and snatched the
little piece of paper
00:37:39.95\00:37:41.82
and blew it out the window.
00:37:42.02\00:37:43.43
And the little boy said:
"Daddy, daddy, stop the car!
00:37:43.83\00:37:46.49
My trust in God just
flew out the window! "
00:37:46.70\00:37:48.96
Isn't it amazing how sometimes
when a little wind comes into
00:37:51.80\00:37:55.50
our lives our trust in
God flies out the window?
00:37:55.70\00:37:58.91
And yet these are times -
these Camp Meeting seasons -
00:37:59.71\00:38:03.14
are times that we can
re-affirm our faith in God.
00:38:03.35\00:38:07.25
Our trust in God. Because He
has promised never to leave us,
00:38:07.45\00:38:12.05
never to forsake us.
00:38:12.45\00:38:14.19
When Irma and I were dating
she sang in a little group,
00:38:15.09\00:38:19.23
and they used to sing
this song over and over again.
00:38:19.43\00:38:21.73
And I must admit when I
first heard it I didn't...
00:38:22.13\00:38:24.03
it didn't particularly hit me.
00:38:24.43\00:38:26.23
But since I liked Irma
and Irma liked the song
00:38:26.43\00:38:30.07
it grew on me.
00:38:30.47\00:38:32.44
And it has a
very powerful message:
00:38:32.84\00:38:34.88
I lay my sins on Jesus:
00:38:35.08\00:38:38.65
the spotless Lamb of God.
00:38:39.05\00:38:41.05
And He can carry
every one of those sins.
00:38:41.45\00:38:46.22
Amen? I Lay My Sins On Jesus.
00:38:46.42\00:38:49.02
I lay my sins on Jesus,
00:38:58.53\00:39:04.81
The spotless Lamb of God;
00:39:05.51\00:39:11.51
He bears them all,
00:39:12.68\00:39:16.08
and frees us
00:39:16.28\00:39:20.02
From the accursed load...
00:39:20.42\00:39:26.33
from the accursed load.
00:39:26.93\00:39:32.87
I bring my guilt to Jesus,
00:39:35.00\00:39:41.01
To wash my crimson stains
00:39:41.51\00:39:47.45
White in His blood
00:39:48.75\00:39:51.99
most precious,
00:39:52.69\00:39:56.22
Till not a stain remains...
00:39:56.73\00:40:02.70
till not a stain remains.
00:40:03.63\00:40:09.54
I lay my wants on Jesus;
00:40:18.01\00:40:23.99
All fullness dwells in Him;
00:40:24.95\00:40:30.93
He healeth my
00:40:32.26\00:40:35.46
diseases,
00:40:35.66\00:40:39.37
He doth my soul
00:40:39.57\00:40:42.14
redeem...
00:40:42.34\00:40:46.88
He doth my soul redeem.
00:40:47.08\00:40:52.75
I long to be with Jesus -
00:41:08.26\00:41:13.74
don't you? -
00:41:13.94\00:41:15.27
Amid the heavenly throng,
00:41:16.00\00:41:21.91
To sing with them
00:41:22.64\00:41:25.95
His praises,
00:41:26.15\00:41:29.85
And learn the angels' song...
00:41:30.05\00:41:36.02
And learn the angels'
00:41:37.39\00:41:40.80
song...
00:41:41.36\00:41:45.07
I lay my sins
00:41:45.27\00:41:49.80
on Jesus.
00:41:50.01\00:41:55.91
Amen!
00:42:05.45\00:42:06.82
We are
actually... Thank you, pastor.
00:42:07.02\00:42:09.46
Beautiful! Some people
have got it all, don't they?
00:42:10.06\00:42:13.29
He's even got the good
looks to go with it all.
00:42:13.50\00:42:16.10
I tell you. And he's young,
too, 'cause we're the same age.
00:42:16.50\00:42:19.40
If ya'll were truthful...
I'm happy that I've got Medicare
00:42:20.74\00:42:24.84
now. You know why? That'll
tell you. Just about 3 weeks ago
00:42:25.04\00:42:28.84
I had my birthday, and
I said: "You know what?
00:42:29.04\00:42:30.85
I've waited 65 years for this.
00:42:31.05\00:42:32.85
I think I'll take
advantage of it, right? "
00:42:33.05\00:42:34.82
So I figured they'd shut
it down by the time I got here
00:42:35.22\00:42:37.65
but they're still...
still doin' it right now.
00:42:37.85\00:42:40.46
I'm glad that Bro. Tim
Parton is here. We have a little
00:42:40.66\00:42:42.52
bit of extra time so I
wanted Tim to come out.
00:42:42.72\00:42:45.96
We're starting a
brand new network
00:42:46.36\00:42:48.73
and it's going to be
the Praise Him! Network
00:42:48.93\00:42:50.97
that's a music channel. Amen!
00:42:51.17\00:42:52.93
So 24/7 music that brings
honor and glory to the Lord.
00:42:53.13\00:42:57.51
And so we've asked
Tim to be in charge of it.
00:42:57.91\00:43:00.18
Tim, you've got some
vision. You've already started.
00:43:00.38\00:43:02.64
You had the Lesters here, right?
Tell us a little bit about it.
00:43:02.84\00:43:05.08
Well really it's
an amazing process.
00:43:05.48\00:43:09.62
Something... I've been
on the road for many years
00:43:09.82\00:43:12.49
as a musician traveling
and playing and singing.
00:43:12.69\00:43:15.32
And back in January I had
the privilege of going to London
00:43:15.92\00:43:19.46
with Danny. And we
were driving down the road -
00:43:19.66\00:43:21.90
riding down the road -
someone else was driving -
00:43:22.10\00:43:25.10
Anyway, he mentioned to me
about if I would be interested
00:43:25.30\00:43:28.97
in a music channel... a
Christian music channel.
00:43:29.17\00:43:32.14
And I said:
"Well, I don't have a TV
00:43:32.64\00:43:35.68
but I'm sure it
sounds like a great thing. "
00:43:35.88\00:43:38.35
But then he said:
"No, I'd like for you to
00:43:38.75\00:43:41.22
be in charge of that. " And
wow! That came out of nowhere.
00:43:41.42\00:43:44.75
So it's amazing
how the Lord works.
00:43:45.25\00:43:47.56
I'm looking into
getting a TV now.
00:43:47.96\00:43:49.92
But anyway, I
want to look for one.
00:43:51.99\00:43:54.33
I know you've got
3ABN on your Smart Phone.
00:43:54.53\00:43:56.83
I do have that!
Yes... I do have that. OK.
00:43:57.03\00:43:58.83
Good... you're not
fired... you've still got a job.
00:43:59.03\00:44:01.60
OK... Whew! That's good. No...
music has been such a huge part
00:44:02.00\00:44:07.31
of my life that I can't
imagine life without it.
00:44:07.51\00:44:10.65
And praising God...
music is just... that's exactly
00:44:10.85\00:44:16.38
the way I praise
God is through my music.
00:44:16.58\00:44:19.95
So I'm just excited about some
of the things that are going to
00:44:20.36\00:44:23.39
be happening, and things
that... I don't even know
00:44:23.59\00:44:27.53
what's going on. Absolutely.
We're... It's taking a time
00:44:27.73\00:44:30.73
so we're not going to put
it on the air immediately.
00:44:30.93\00:44:32.97
But we're developing
a lot of new programming
00:44:33.27\00:44:35.67
that's good that you'll see.
And with these new LED lights
00:44:35.87\00:44:38.37
back here... Isn't
that a great screen? Yeah!
00:44:38.57\00:44:40.04
Wait till you see
Friday night's concert...
00:44:40.24\00:44:42.48
what they're
putting behind the music.
00:44:42.68\00:44:44.31
Lanny Wolfe's gonna be here
00:44:44.71\00:44:46.18
and we have a number. Reggie
and Ladye Love's gonna be here
00:44:46.38\00:44:49.28
later tonight. We've
got a number of the singers
00:44:49.48\00:44:51.69
that sang with us in
Nashville that's gonna be here.
00:44:51.89\00:44:53.89
And we want you to
be watching at home.
00:44:54.29\00:44:55.72
Those of you here:
Friday night concert.
00:44:55.92\00:44:57.73
Right now what
I'd like Tim to do...
00:44:57.93\00:44:59.33
we might have time for
two. One of yours is real quick.
00:44:59.53\00:45:03.37
I call it the Bumblebee Song.
I don't know what else to do.
00:45:03.57\00:45:06.23
Why don't you? You guys:
make sure you get a shot of him
00:45:06.43\00:45:09.07
up there. Don't be nervous...
there's millions of people
00:45:09.27\00:45:11.04
watching or anything...
OK. But you wouldn't be...
00:45:11.24\00:45:14.08
No, he's played before
everybody: kings, presidents,
00:45:14.28\00:45:16.75
and you name it, he's done it.
00:45:16.95\00:45:18.35
One of the most incredible
musicians I've ever met
00:45:18.55\00:45:21.75
in my entire life.
This man amazes us.
00:45:21.95\00:45:24.65
And we praise the Lord that
he's now full time with 3ABN.
00:45:24.85\00:45:28.02
What's the name of this
song you're going to do?
00:45:28.22\00:45:29.56
In My Heart There
Rings A Bumblebee...
00:45:29.66\00:45:31.33
A Melody, sorry. In My
Heart There Rings A Melody.
00:45:31.53\00:45:33.93
And we may have to...
I'll stand here if we need to
00:45:34.33\00:45:37.17
put water on the notes 'cause
you're going to heat them up
00:45:37.37\00:45:39.73
a little. All
right... let's do it!
00:45:39.93\00:45:41.64
Amen!
00:47:37.65\00:47:40.02
Beautiful! That's almost exactly
the way I taught it to him.
00:47:40.22\00:47:43.89
I had a couple other little
variations, but you can learn
00:47:45.19\00:47:48.06
those later.
Don't be discouraged.
00:47:48.26\00:47:50.37
And, all right. We've got
time maybe to do one more.
00:47:50.77\00:47:53.90
And then right after that
I think I'll ask Pastor John
00:47:54.10\00:47:57.04
to come out. Maybe you
guys can do He Touched Me
00:47:57.24\00:47:59.51
and lead the group till
we go down to zero here.
00:47:59.71\00:48:02.11
You enjoying the music so far?
00:48:02.31\00:48:03.65
Yes! All right. Feeling
the presence of the Lord?
00:48:03.81\00:48:05.65
That's what it's
all about, isn't it?
00:48:05.85\00:48:07.18
All right. You're going
to do what for us right now?
00:48:07.38\00:48:09.88
What song do you want
to do? Do you mind if I?
00:48:10.09\00:48:12.15
There's one that's a
great song that I love.
00:48:12.35\00:48:15.26
Whatever you do we love it. OK.
00:48:15.46\00:48:17.03
Far away in the depths
00:48:19.23\00:48:22.66
of my spirit tonight
00:48:23.26\00:48:27.24
rolls a melody
00:48:27.64\00:48:30.81
sweeter than psalm.
00:48:31.01\00:48:36.61
In celestial like strains
00:48:37.25\00:48:41.68
it unceasingly flows
00:48:42.45\00:48:47.19
o'er my soul
00:48:47.39\00:48:50.13
like an infinite calm.
00:48:50.33\00:48:55.43
Sing along if you
know this. Peace, peace:
00:48:55.63\00:48:58.10
Peace, peace,
00:48:58.83\00:49:03.27
wonderful peace...
00:49:03.47\00:49:07.54
coming down
00:49:07.84\00:49:10.25
from the Father
00:49:10.45\00:49:13.18
above.
00:49:13.38\00:49:17.52
Sweep over my spirit
00:49:17.72\00:49:23.26
forever, I pray,
00:49:23.66\00:49:28.56
in fathomless
00:49:28.76\00:49:32.53
billows of love.
00:49:32.73\00:49:37.71
He Touched Me.
00:49:37.91\00:49:40.08
He touched me,
00:49:40.28\00:49:43.78
O, He touched me,
00:49:43.98\00:49:49.48
and O, the joy
00:49:50.52\00:49:55.42
that floods my soul!
00:49:55.62\00:50:00.76
Something happened
00:50:01.23\00:50:05.57
and now I know
00:50:05.77\00:50:11.71
He touched me
00:50:12.11\00:50:15.58
and made me
00:50:15.78\00:50:20.98
whole.
00:50:21.18\00:50:23.05
I serve a risen Savior,
00:50:27.52\00:50:31.56
He's in the world today.
00:50:31.76\00:50:34.80
I know that He is living
00:50:35.00\00:50:38.57
whatever men may say.
00:50:38.77\00:50:42.30
I see His hand of mercy,
00:50:42.50\00:50:45.91
I hear His voice of cheer.
00:50:46.11\00:50:49.68
And just the time I need Him
00:50:49.88\00:50:53.35
He's always near.
Let's sing that chorus:
00:50:53.55\00:50:57.59
He lives; He lives,
00:50:57.79\00:51:01.52
Christ Jesus lives today.
00:51:01.72\00:51:05.09
He walks with me
and talks with me
00:51:05.39\00:51:08.76
along life's narrow way.
00:51:08.96\00:51:12.60
He lives; He lives,
00:51:13.00\00:51:16.34
salvation to impart.
00:51:16.54\00:51:21.54
You ask me how
00:51:21.94\00:51:25.05
I know He lives?
00:51:25.25\00:51:29.12
He lives
00:51:29.32\00:51:35.29
within
00:51:40.06\00:51:44.60
my heart!
00:51:45.20\00:51:51.11
We are standing
00:51:53.98\00:51:59.91
on holy ground.
00:52:00.32\00:52:06.05
And I know that there
00:52:06.45\00:52:11.86
are angels
00:52:12.06\00:52:14.46
all around.
00:52:14.86\00:52:19.83
Let us praise
00:52:20.04\00:52:26.01
Jesus now.
00:52:26.81\00:52:32.78
We are standing in
00:52:33.62\00:52:38.55
His presence
00:52:38.75\00:52:40.49
on holy ground.
00:52:40.69\00:52:44.79
We are standing
00:52:47.20\00:52:52.67
on holy ground.
00:52:53.17\00:52:59.11
And I know that there
00:52:59.61\00:53:04.28
are angels
00:53:04.48\00:53:06.82
all around.
00:53:07.02\00:53:11.95
Let us praise
00:53:12.45\00:53:18.23
Jesus now.
00:53:18.43\00:53:24.17
We are standing in
00:53:24.67\00:53:29.00
His presence
00:53:29.20\00:53:30.74
on holy ground.
00:53:31.14\00:53:35.84
There is a place
00:53:39.71\00:53:43.22
of quiet rest.
00:53:43.42\00:53:46.99
Where is it tonight?
00:53:47.19\00:53:48.52
Near to the heart of God.
00:53:48.56\00:53:54.36
A place where sin
00:53:54.76\00:53:58.63
cannot molest... Where is it?
00:53:58.83\00:54:03.10
Near to the heart of God.
00:54:03.51\00:54:09.41
O Jesus, blest
00:54:10.61\00:54:14.58
Redeemer,
00:54:14.78\00:54:19.19
sent from the heart of God,
00:54:19.59\00:54:25.53
hold us
00:54:25.93\00:54:28.46
who wait before
00:54:28.66\00:54:33.23
Thee
00:54:33.44\00:54:35.70
near to the heart
00:54:36.10\00:54:40.51
of God.
00:54:40.71\00:54:46.08
When you think about
being near to the heart of God
00:54:48.68\00:54:50.92
I'm sure there's so many
thoughts that could come into
00:54:51.52\00:54:53.76
your mind. A
place of quiet rest,
00:54:53.96\00:54:56.42
a place of solitude. You
know, when I read the Bible
00:54:56.83\00:54:59.36
and I read about the love
that Jesus had for His disciples
00:55:01.06\00:55:04.60
I'm always... I try to
find a way to insert myself.
00:55:04.80\00:55:08.70
And when I think of the
way He felt about the youngest
00:55:08.90\00:55:11.91
disciple, John,
the one whom He loved,
00:55:12.11\00:55:14.88
I sometimes borrow that
to think that God loves me
00:55:15.08\00:55:19.55
that way. Tonight as people
are tuning in and watching
00:55:19.75\00:55:23.69
here at Camp Meeting at 3ABN
00:55:23.89\00:55:26.19
what we want to do more than
anything else this Camp Meeting
00:55:26.49\00:55:29.22
is draw near to
the heart of God.
00:55:29.42\00:55:31.13
Not just sermons, but
find that place of quiet rest,
00:55:31.73\00:55:35.36
that place of forgiveness
and solitude and new beginnings.
00:55:35.56\00:55:38.87
That place where - when you
look at the picture behind you -
00:55:39.83\00:55:42.34
I've said this before
- you see the mercy seat.
00:55:42.54\00:55:45.04
And we were talking about this.
Pastor C.A. and I and Danny
00:55:45.24\00:55:47.38
on a program. And we
said: "How could people
00:55:47.58\00:55:50.81
ask for God's mercy
by ignoring His law? "
00:55:51.21\00:55:54.75
But the thought
that came to me was:
00:55:55.35\00:55:57.32
His law is in the ark of
the covenant, but the mercy seat
00:55:57.52\00:56:01.06
is above His law. So
for those who transgress
00:56:01.26\00:56:04.56
God's law, His mercy is above.
00:56:04.76\00:56:09.26
And we want to come
into the presence of God
00:56:09.86\00:56:11.53
this Camp Meeting and ask Him
to extend to us the mercy that
00:56:11.73\00:56:14.87
each one of us is in need
of. Anybody here tonight need
00:56:15.07\00:56:17.07
God's mercy? You know,
you don't ask for mercy unless
00:56:17.27\00:56:20.08
you recognize you're a sinner.
00:56:20.28\00:56:21.61
If you know that you haven't
sinned, you ask for justice.
00:56:21.94\00:56:24.58
But every one of us, because of
God's gracious love towards us,
00:56:24.98\00:56:28.52
every one of us is
in need of God's mercy.
00:56:28.72\00:56:32.12
So tonight as you bow your
heads I'm going to go before
00:56:32.32\00:56:34.26
the Lord in prayer.
We have a few seconds.
00:56:34.42\00:56:35.76
We'll say goodbye to
our audience that's viewing
00:56:35.86\00:56:37.99
and listening, but let's
bow before the Lord tonight
00:56:38.19\00:56:40.03
at the beginning of this
Camp Meeting, knowing that
00:56:40.23\00:56:42.16
each one of us is
in need of God's mercy.
00:56:42.36\00:56:44.63
Heavenly Father,
tonight that place of quiet rest
00:56:44.83\00:56:47.87
reminds us that in
this crazy world of voices
00:56:48.07\00:56:53.84
that call us in different direc-
tions, tonight Lord, we come.
00:56:54.04\00:56:56.91
We turn the world
off and we say: "Father,
00:56:57.11\00:56:59.45
allow us to lay on Your
breast. " To feel that heartbeat
00:56:59.65\00:57:03.28
of love for us. To feel
that heart that pulsates...
00:57:03.49\00:57:06.76
that refuses to rest until
His children are home with Him.
00:57:06.96\00:57:11.69
As we begin this encampment
Father, come and be near to
00:57:12.19\00:57:15.13
each of us that whether
we've come from far or near
00:57:15.33\00:57:18.63
we could leave this place
that much closer to our loving
00:57:18.83\00:57:23.00
Heavenly Father.
Forgive us, Lord. Strengthen us
00:57:23.20\00:57:27.88
that as sinners saved by grace
00:57:28.28\00:57:30.58
