I TELL YOU, IT HAS TOUCHED OUR 44:04 HEARTS, AND THAT'S WHAT WE NEED DURING THIS TIME OF THE YEAR, TO 44:07 BE TOUCHED AND DRAWN CLOSER TO JESUS. 44:09 ONE OF MY FAVORITE PASSAGES OF SCRIPTURE, I JUST WANT TO TALK 44:14 FOR A FEW MOMENTS TODAY, FOUND IN LUKE 2:14, HERE WE FIND 44:19 REALLY THE PLN OF SALVATION. REALLY WHAT THIS SEASON, REALLY 44:22 IS ALL ABOUT, AND NOTICE HOW IT READS. 44:27 GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST AND ON EARTH PEACE AND GOODWILL TO 44:31 MEN. YOU KNOW, I SEE IN THIS PASSAGE 44:34 OF SCRIPTURE THE PLAN OF SALVATION. 44:37 I SEE HOW IT RECONCILES GOD AND MAN BACK TOGETHER AGAIN. 44:42 IT BRINGS US TO THE -- TO THE -- TO THE POINT, TO WHERE 44:46 GOD IS GOING TO RECEIVE THE HONOR AND THE GLORY, AS IT IS ON 44:50 EARTH, AND AS IT IS IN HEAVEN. I LOVE THAT GAZ AGE. 44:54 GLORY TO GOD IN THE HIGHEST. YOU KNOW, HOW WONDERFUL IF YOU 44:58 THINK ABOUT IT WITH ME FOR JUST A FEW MOMENTS, HOW WONDERFUL 45:03 THAT IT IS THAT WE HAVE THE WORD OF GOD, AND I'M GOING TO HAVE A 45:08 SHORT PRAYER ABOUT THE WORD OF GOD. 45:11 FATHER IN HEAVEN BLESS YOUR WORD AS IT GOES OUT, WE PRAY THAT IT 45:16 PENETRATES THE HEART, MINE, AND LIVES OF EACH OF YOUR CHILDREN 45:20 TODAY. DURING THIS SEASON THAT WE SEE 45:22 JESUS IN A VERY SPECIAL WAY. I THANK YOU IN JESUS NAME. 45:28 AMEN. HOW WONDERFUL, HOW POWERFUL, AND 45:30 EVEN HOW PRESSURE IF THE HUMAN FAMILY, IF WE AS PART OF GOD'S 45:37 FAMILY COULD UNDERSTAND AND RECOGNIZE, NOTICE THE WORDS HE 45:40 JUST READ, IT'S A SONG. IT'S A SONG CERTAINLY ABOUT 45:44 JESUS. A SONG ABOUT THE ANGELS, BUT 45:46 BEFORE I DISCUSS THAT A LITTLE BIT MORE. 45:49 I LOOKED UP SOMETHING THAT MAY BE OF INTEREST TO YOU. 45:52 IT IS FOUND TO THE -- ACCORDING TO -- UNCLE JOHN'S BOOK OF 45:57 FACTS. THIS IS WORLDWIDE NOW -- THINK 45:58 WITH ME -- THIS IS WORLDWIDE. CHRISTMAS HAS BEEN CELEBRATED ON 46:05 135 DIFFERENT DAYS OF THE YEAR. WELL, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT. 46:09 I -- SOUNDS A LITTLE BIT CONFUSING, BUT YOU KNOW WE GO 46:13 BACK TO THE WORD OF GOD, AND IT'S NEVER CONFUSING. 46:16 WE GO BACK TO THIS WONDERFUL SONG, GLORY TO GOD ON THE 46:21 HIGHEST AND ON EARTH PEACE GOODWILL TO MEN. 46:23 THIS IS A SONG THAT THE ANGELS SANG, AND AS THEY SANG AS THEY 46:30 FINISHED THEY DISAPPEARED INTO THE NIGHT, AND BETHLEHEM WAS 46:35 SILENT AGAIN. BUT THE BRIGHTNESS IN THE 46:38 HEAVENS GATHERED SOME ATTENTION, AND YOU KNOW THERE WAS SOMEONE 46:42 WHO HAD SEEN THESE BRIGHT LIGHTS AND THESE WERE CALLED WISE MEN, 46:47 THESE WERE SHEPHERDS IN THE FIELD, AND THEY SAW THIS 46:53 BRIGHTNESS, AND THEY WERE DRAWN TO IT. 46:54 AND IN LUKE 2:15, THEY SAID LET US NOW GO TO BETHLEHEM AND LET 47:00 US SEE THIS THING THAT COMES TO PASS WHICH THE LORD HAS MADE 47:04 KNOWN TO US. I LOVE THEIR WILLINGNESS, THEY 47:07 SAW SOMETHING, AND THEY WANTED TO RESPOND, HOW OFTEN WE SEE 47:12 THINGS EVEN DURING THIS TIME OF THE SEASON, AND WE DON'T RESPOND 47:15 TO THEM. LUKE 2:16, THE BIBLE SAYS AND 47:19 THEY CAME WITH HASTE AND THEY FOUND MARY AND JOSEPH AND A BABE 47:24 LYING IN A MANAGER. AFTER ALL, ISN'T THIS WHAT WE'RE 47:27 TALKING ABOT? ISN'T THIS THE SEASON? 47:29 TALKING ABOUT THE BABE IN A MANAGER. 47:31 AND SO WHAT HAPPENED? THE SHEPHERDS WERE SO EXCITED 47:38 THEY WENT AND TOLD EVERYONE WHAT THEY HAD SEEN. 47:41 THEY BEGAN TO HAVE CONTACT WITH OTHERS, AND THEY WANTED TO TELL 47:45 EVERYBODY ABOUT JESUS, AND MY THOUGHT TODAY IS, ISN'T THAT 47:49 WHAT THIS SEASON IS ABOUT? THAT WE SHOULD BE MEETING AND 47:53 TELLING EVERYONE ABOUT JESUS, AFTER ALL THIS IS WHAT IT IS ALL 47:56 ABOUT. I STAND IN AMAZEMENT. 48:00 I STAND IN AWE. ABOUT THE SAVIOR, A SAVIOR WHO 48:04 GAVE HIS LIFE, SACRFICE, AND HE CHANGED THE THROWN ROOM OF 48:11 HEAVEN FOR A LITTLE MANAGER. AND IF I KEE THAT IN MY MIND, I 48:17 KNOW THAT THERE CAN BE NO HUMAN PRIDE IN HIS PRESENCE. 48:21 HE GAVE ALL. THE WISE MEN STUDIED THE HEBREW 48:28 SCRIPTURE. THEY STUDIED THE PROPHECIES OF 48:31 THE WORD OF GOD. AND THESE PROPHECIES DECLARED AS 48:35 WE READ THEM TODAY AS THE WISE MEN DID, THAT IT TOLD ABOUT 48:39 JESUS. THEY TALK ABOUT SOMEONE WAS 48:42 GOING TO BE BORN, A DIVINE TEACHER, A MESSIAH WOULD COME, 48:48 AND AS THEY READ THEY KNEW THAT HIS -- HIS COMING WAS NEAR EVEN 48:51 AT THE DOOR, BUT THEY ALSO REALIZED THAT THE WHOLE WORLD 48:54 WAS TO BE WARNED. SOMEONE NEEDED TO TELL THE WORD 48:58 THAT JESUS, THE CHRIST CHILD, WAS COMING TO THIS WORLD.-EVERYONE WAS TO HAVE A KNOWLEDGE 49:06 OF HIM, AND I SAY TO YOU, SO NOW, SO THEN. 49:12 SO THEN, SO NOW.-AND CERTAINLY, THIS IS THE MAIN REASON, THIS IS ONE OF THE 49:19 REASONS I KNOW THAT WE -- WE TAKE TIME DURING THIS YEAR, THIS 49:24 HOLIDAY SEASON, IS TO TAKE TIME TO SPENDING SOME TIME STUDYING 49:27 THE SCRIPTURES, GETTING TO KNOW JESUS A LITTLE BIT BETTER, 49:32 GETTING TO REALIZE THAT SOMEONE NEEDS TO PROCLAIM THE COMING OF 49:36 JESUS AGAIN TO THIS WORLD. >> AMEN. 49:39 >> PEOPLE WILL LISTEN. PEOPLE WILL RESPOND. 49:42 SOMEONE MUST GIVE THAT WARNING. EVEN THOUGH WE CALL IT HOLIDAY, 49:46 SPECIAL SEASON, AND IT IS, EARS WILL BE OPENED, HEARTS WILL BE 49:51 OPENED, LIVES WILL BE TOUCHED THAT WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN 49:56 TOUCHED BEFORE. AND THE CRY CAN GO FORWARD FROM 49:59 ALL OF OUR LIPS, JESUS IS COMING IN LOUD TONES. 50:03 HE IS COOING TO THE WORLD WITH GREAT POWER AND GLORY. 50:07 AND I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU, FRIEND, BUT I DON'T WANT TO MISS 50:10 THAT. HOLIDAY SEASON IS NICE, BUT I 50:12 WOULD LIKE TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH EACH ONE. 50:17 NOT JUST FOR A FEW MOMENTS. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ETERNITY. 50:21 BABY JESUS WRAPPED IN SWADDLING CLOTHES. 50:26 NOW I SENSE -- NOW I SENSE THAT JESUS WANTS TO COME BACK, AND 50:31 HE'S WANTING TO RAP PRAISE GOD HIS ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AROUND 50:38 SOMEBODY LIKE ME AND YOU. HE IS WANTING TO WRAP HIS ROBE 50:43 OF RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THEN HE IS WANTING TO WRAP UP THIS WORLD. 50:46 HE IS WANTING TO COME BACK. I WONDER IF WE ARE AS HOME SICK 50:53 FOR HIM AS HE IS FOR US. AND I THINK WHY SHOULDN'T WE BE 50:58 JUST A LITTLE BIT MORE AND -- AND PLEASE BE FORGIVING 51:02 IF THIS IS COMING ACROSS THE WRONG WAY -- BUT SHOULDN'T WE BE 51:07 A LITTLE BIT MORE INTERESTED IN BEING WRAPPED UP FOR ETERNITY, 51:11 THAN WE ARE INTERESTED IN WRAPPING UP THINGS FOR 51:14 INDIVIDUALS WHO WILL SOON JUST PASS AWAY? 51:17 SHOULDN'T WE BE? OH, I THINK SO TODAY. 51:20 THIS IS THE SEASON. THERE'S NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. 51:23 THIS IS WHY 3ABN TAKES THIS TIME. 51:25 BECAUSE THEY WANT PEOPLE TO HEAR AND TO KNOW ABOUT THE JESUS. 51:28 THE NAME OF JESUS IS GOING TO BE HEARD, AND THERE ARE GOING TO 51:31 BE -- I BELIEVE THIS -- IT IS GOING TO BE HEARD BY SOME WHO 51:35 HAVE NEVER HEARD THE NAME OF JESUS BEFORE. 51:37 THIS IS THE SEASON FOR IT. THEY CAN BE TOUCHED LIKE NO 51:40 OTHER TIME OF THE WORL, AND THEN THERE IS GOING TO BE OTHERS 51:43 WHO -- OH, THEY HAVE HEARD THE NAME OF JESUS OVER AND OVER AND 51:47 OVER, BUT HOW SAD, THEY NEVER REALLY RESPONDED. 51:52 COULD IT BE, COULD IT BE THIS TIME? 51:55 COULD IT BE THIS YEAR? COULD IT BE RIGHT NOW THAT 52:00 SOMEONE WILL RESPOND THAT HADN'T RESPONDED OVER THE YEARS? 52:05 COULD IT BE JUST LIKE THE WISE MEN AS THEY RESPONDED TO THAT 52:08 BRIGHT LIGHT, THE SONG OF THE ANGELS SINGING IN HEAVEN? 52:13 WHEN THEY CAME AND THEY SAW MARY, AND THEY SAW THE BABY 52:17 JESUS, AND YOU KNOW WHAT THEY DID? 52:19 OH, YES, THEY FELL DOWN AND THEY WORSHIPPED HIM, AND THEY POURED 52:23 THEIR GIFTS OUT AT HIS FEET. HOW ABOUT US? 52:27 WHERE ARE WE GOING TO POUR OUT OUR GIFTS THIS TIME OF YEAR? 52:31 I LOOK AT THE FAITHFUL WISE MEN, THE SHEPHERDS, AND I SEE -- I 52:39 SEE A FAITH THAT THEY HAD. I SEE A FAITH THAT WE NEED RIGHT 52:45 NOW, SO DESPERATELY WE NEED THAT FAITH. 52:48 WE NEED TO COME TO THE POINT -- THIS IS THE SEASON THAT 52:51 I -- I -- I BEG YOU. I -- I PLEASE WITH 52:55 YOU -- DON'T -- DON'T FORGET HIM. 52:57 DON'T FORGET WHAT THE SEASON IS ABOUT. 53:00 DON'T GET WRAPPED UP IN ALL OF THE HULL LA BAH LOU OF THE 53:08 WORLD. THINK ABOUT CHRIST. 53:10 DO LIKE THE WISE MEN. THEY HEARD ABOUT HIM, AND THEY 53:14 WENT TO TELL OTHERS. THEY FORGOT ABOUT THEMSELVES, 53:17 AND JESUS ASKS TODAY, DON'T FORGET ABOUT ME DURING THIS 53:21 TIME. THE WORLD SAYS IT'S ABOUT ME, 53:25 THEY TALK ABOUT ME, BUT MANY TIMES IT'S ABOUT SELF. 53:29 AND SO SHOULD WE NOT BE REFOCUSED TODAY. 53:33 SHOULD WE NOT RETHINK THE ISSUES JUST A LITTLE BIT? 53:38 THE DAY MAY COME THAT YOU WIS IN YOUR OWN HEART AND YOUR LIFE 53:43 THAT YOU HAD DONE SOME THINGS DIFFERENTLY. 53:46 I KNOW I HAVE.-pAND BY GOD'S GRACE I WANT TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES, AND THEN THE 53:51 SEASON WONDERFUL AS IT MIGHT BE, TO MANY, I'M THINKING ABOUT 53:57 JESUS. I THINK ABOUT THIS OLDER WOMAN. 54:00 I THINK ABOUT THIS STORY. SHE BEGAN TO LOSE HER MEMORY, 54:05 AND SOME OF US AS WE GET OLDER, SOMETIMES WE SAY -- WE -- WE SAY 54:09 I FORGOT AN AWFUL LOT OF TIMES. AND WE HOPE THAT'S NOT AERN 54:16 WA -- A WARNING SIGN. 54:18 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT I FORGOT. 54:20 IT'S SAD EVERY TIME YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE, I FORGOT. 54:24 BLESS HER HEART, THIS LADY, SHE WAS LOSING HER MEMORY. 54:28 BUT SHE LOVED JESUS. SHE ONCE HAD KNOWN THE BIBLE. 54:33 SHE MEMORIED SO MANY DIFFERENT PARTS OF SCRIPTURE. 54:37 SHE HAD IT IN HER MIND HERR FAVORITE PASSAGE. 54:41 AND IT MIGHT YOUR FAVORITE PASSAGE TODAY, SHE SAYS I KNOW 54:45 IN WHOM I HAVE BELIEVED, AND I AM PERSUADED THAT HE IS ABLE TO 54:52 KEEP THAT WHICH I HAVE COMMITTED TO HIM AGAINST THAT DAY. 54:57 WOW, HOW WONDERFUL. WHAT A PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE. 55:00 THIS WAS HER FAVORITE PASSAGE, AND SHE QUOTED IT. 55:04 SHE LODGED IT IN HER HEART AND MIND. 55:08 I KNOW IN WHOM I BELIEVE. DO YOU KNOW IN WHOM YOU BELIEVE. 55:20 THAT'S 2 TIMOTHY 1:12, AND AS TIME PASSED BY, AS HER MIND WAS 55:25 LEAVING HER, AS SHE WAS LAYING ON HER DEATH BED, SHE COULD ONLY 55:30 THINK OF THIS LINE, THAT WHICH I HAVE COMMITTED UNTO HIM. 55:36 SHE HAD LOST THE REST OF IT, BUT SHE COULD REMEMBER, THAT WHICH I 55:41 HAVE COMMITTED UNTO HIM. AS MORE TIME PASSED AWAY, SHE 55:49 FORGOT EVEN A FEW MORE OF THE WORDS. 55:52 AND NOW ALL SHE COULD REMEMBER WAS JUST A FEW SHORT WORDS. 55:58 AS SHE WAS PASSING AWAY, AS SHE WAS LAYING ON HER DEATH 56:04 BIRD -- DEATH BED, SHE BEGAN TO WHISPER SOMETHING, AND THE 56:10 FAMILY DREW CLOSE. WE WANT TO HEAR THESE LAST 56:13 WORDS. I WONDER WHAT THESE LAST WORDS 56:16 COULD BE? THEY CAME CLOSE TO HEAR, AND SHE 56:19 WAS REPEATING OVER AND OVER ONLY ONE WORD. 56:25 NOW HER MIND HAD COME TO THE POINT SHE COULD ONLY REMEMBER 56:29 ONE WORD OF THAT PASSAGE, SHE LOST ALL REMMBRANCE EXCEPT THAT 56:33 ONE WORD. AND AS THEY DREW CLOSER, AND AS 56:36 THEY BENT DOWN, AND I -- I BEG YOU DO THIS, THS SEASON, SHE 56:44 WHISPERED OT THE ONE WORD ONLY, HIM. 56:47 HIM. HIM. 56:51 AND I THOUGHT ABOUT THAT. SEEMED LIKE SHE LOST AN AWFUL 56:55 LOT. ALL THAT SHE HAD STORED IN HER 56:59 HEART AND MINE, BUT THEN I GOT TO THINKING, SHE SAID HIM. 57:03 SHE -- DON'T YOU BELIEVE THAT SHE HAD ALL THE BIBLE IN THAT 57:09 ONE WORD, HIM. >> AMEN. 57:11 >> ALL OF THE BIBLE WAS THERE. REMEMBER, I HEARD IT SAID HEAR 57:16 ONCE ALREADY. THE REASON FOR THE SEASON. 57:18 WHAT IS THE REASON FOR THE SEASON? 57:22 THE REASON FOR THE SEASON MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IS HIM, 57:25 HIM, HIM. AND THERE'S NOTHING ELSE. 57:28 >> AMEN. >> COME ON! 57:31 >> I PRAY GOD'S BLESSING ON EACH AND EVERY ONE OF YOU DURING THIS 57:36 TIME. AND IF YOU CAN REALLY ONLY 57:38 REMEMBER ONE WORD, INSTEAD OF MAYBE ALL OF THE OTHER STUFF 57:40 THAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD, COULD YOU REMEMBER HIM, HIM, 57:46 HIM. DEAR FRIENDS, IT WILL BE A 57:51 BLESSED SEASON. GOD WILL USE YOU TO POINT 57:54 SOMEONE THAT NEEDS TO BE POINTED TO JESUS CHRIST, THE LAMB OF GOD 57:58 THAT TAKES AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD. 58:02 ALL OF MY BROTHERS AND MY SISTERS, GOD HELP ME IF I CAN 58:07 REMEMBER ONE WORD, HIM, HIM, HIM. 58:11 GOD BLESS EACH ONE OF YOU. >> EVERYBODY SAID -- 58:17 >> AMEN. >> THANK YOU BROTHER KENNY. 58:22 AND YOU SEE HE FELT MORE COMFORTABLE PREACHING THAN 58:25 SINGING, BUT I THOUGHT HE DID PRETTY WELL SINGING TOO. 58:29 >> I DO TOO.

BUT IT WAS ROUGH, AND IT HAS 01:34:26 BEEN KIND OF A LONG RECOUP PERIOD, BUT THE LORD BROUGHT ME 01:34:30 THROUGH IT, AND IT COULD HAVE BEEN SO MUCH WORSE, AND NOW I'M 01:34:36 ALMOST BACK TO NORMAL, WHICH MOST OF YOU DON'T WANT TO 01:34:39 HEAR -- >> REGGIE IS SAYING WHAT IS 01:34:42 NORMAL?

WAS A WONDERFUL -- REALLY THE 01:37:05 EXPERIENCE WAS BAD, BUT IT WAS TWUFL BE DRAWN CLOSER TO JESUS 01:37:09 AND CLOSER TO ONE ANOTHER, AND TO REALIZE, I THINK HOW --HOW 01:37:12 LIFE IS. I MEAN YOU READ IT ALL THE TIME, 01:37:15 AND PREACH ABOUT IT PASTOR, YOU GO TO FUNERALS AND PREACH ABOUT 01:37:21 LIFE IS LIKE A VAPOR, AND SOMETIMES REALLY, REALITY LETS 01:37:26 YOU KNOW YOU ARE A HUMAN BEING, AND WE REALLY ARE A VAPOR. 01:37:30 WE'RE HERE JUST FOR A MOMENT.

WE NEED TO REMEMBER HIM. 01:38:42 AND THAT WAS AN ANSWER TO PRAYER THAT GOD GIVE HIM IN THE MIDDLE 01:38:46 OF THE NIGHT, BECAUSE AS HE WAS PRAYING AND PLEADING WITH THE 01:38:49 LORD ABOUT WHAT WAS TAKING PLACE, HE HEARD GOD'S VOICE SAY 01:38:54 KENNY, YOU HAVE SHALL NOT DIE, BUT YOU SHALL LIVE TO PROCLAIM 01:38:56 THE GOSPEL. >> AMEN. 01:38:58 >> SO EVERY TIME HE IS UP, I'M PRAISING GOD, THAT IS AN ANSWER 01:39:02 TO PRAYERS, AND GOD WILL TAKE US THROUGH THESE STORMS. 01:39:06 HE PRAYED ABOUT PEACE, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE PEACE 01:39:10 WE CAN HAVE IN THIS WORLD AS WE DRAW CLOSE TO THE END, BECAUSE 01:39:13 WE READ THE END OF THE STORY, AS TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS SHALL 01:39:19 INCREASE, BUT AS I WAS LISTENING TO EVERYBODY, IF WE WOULD JUST 01:39:22 HOLD ON TO HIM AT THIS TIME OF THE SEASON, WE CAN STILL HAVE 01:39:26 AND FIND THAT PEACE, THAT PASSES ALL UNDERSTANDING. 01:39:30 >> YEAH.

AND I HAVE BEEN LAMENTING OVER 01:42:59 MY VOICE FOR THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS. 01:43:01 SO SHOULD WE HAVE A WORD OF PRAYER, DANNY AND THANK GOD FOR 01:43:05 THE VALLEYS AND THE MOUNTAIN TOPS. 01:43:08 FATHER WE THANK YOU THAT THE MOUNTAIN TOPS ARE THERE. 01:43:11 WHEN WE GET TO THE TOP, WE LOOK AT THE VALLEY AND SAY IT HAS 01:43:15 BEEN A LONG WAY UP, AND SOMETIMES IT'S A LONG WAY DOWN, 01:43:19 BUT YOU PUT THEM SIDE BY SIDE SO WE CANNING A APPRECIATE BOTH OF 01:43:24 THEM. SOMEBODY MAY BE UP THE MOUNTAIN, 01:43:27 SOMEBODY MAY BE ON THEIR WAY DOWN TO THE VALLEY, BUT THEY ARE 01:43:31 NOT SEPARATED, BECAUSE THEY HAVE A DISTINCT PURPOSE FOR EACH ONE. 01:43:34 AND THE GOD OF THE VALLEY IS THE GOD OF THE MOUNTAIN. 01:43:38 SO CARRY US THROUGH THE CLOSING OF THIS YEAR, AND THE OPENING OF 01:43:42 THE NEXT ONE, AND HELP US TO REMEMBER THAT BY OUR SIDE THE 01:43:49 COVENANT YOU MADE TO NEVER LEAVE US AND NEVER FORSAKE US. 01:43:56 HELP US TO REMEMBER THAT NO MATTER WHERE WE HAVE BEEN, IF WE 01:43:59 CAN MAKE IT TO THE KINGDOM SIDE BY SIDE WITH EACH AND, AND WITH -YOU, THIS SEASON WOULD BE ALL 01:44:08 THE MORE THAT WE CAN CELEBRATE.

LORD, I'M A SINNER, SAVE ME. 01:53:04 AND WHEN YOU DO THAT, THE BIBLE SAYS HE WILL BE FAITHFUL AND 01:53:09 JUST FORGIVE US FROM OUR SINS, AND TO CLEANSE US FROM SOME OF 01:53:13 OUR UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. OH, THEY ARE AWAKE. 01:53:17 FROM ALL UNRIGHTEOUSNESS. I MEAN THAT'S AN AMAZING THING. 01:53:23 BECAUSE DAY AFTER DAY, IF WE LOOK IN THE MIRROR, WE'LL SEE 01:53:29 UNRIGHTEOUSNESS, AND WE'LL SEE THINGS THAT WE DON'T REALLY 01:53:33 WANT. BUT JESUS HAS FORGIVEN US WHEN 01:53:37 WE CONFESS OUR SINS, SO NOW WE CAN STANDING BEFORE THE THROWN 01:53:41 OF GOD PERFECT -- NOT PERFECT IN EVERYTHING THAT WE DO HERE, BUT 01:53:45 HIS PERFECTION, NOT OUR PERFECTION. 01:53:48 SO TODAY OUR QUESTION WOULD BE FOR YOU, WHERE DO YOU WANT TO 01:53:53 SPENDING ETERNITY? WE CAN SPENDING IT SEPARATED 01:53:55 FROM GOD, OR ACCEPT THAT FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE AND SPEND A 01:54:01 LIFETIME, MORE THAN A LIFETIME, ETERNITY WITH OUR LORD JESUS 01:54:05 CHRIST.

SO WHEN WE SAY I'LL BE HOME FOR 01:54:33 CHRISTMAS, WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ETERNITY. 01:54:37 NOT NECESSARILY THIS CHRISTMAS, BUT WE'LL BE MORE FOR ETERNITY 01:54:41 WITH THE CHRIST OF CHRISTMAS.
