00:02 ANNOUNCER: THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE
00:04 FRIENDS OF THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. 00:09 DOUG BATCHELOR: IN 1629 THE EMPEROR OF INDIA, 00:11 SHAH JAHAN, WENT ON A MILITARY CAMPAIGN TO CRUSH A REBELLION 00:15 IN HIS KINGDOM. 00:17 EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS ILL AND PREGNANT, 00:19 HIS WIFE JOINED HIM ON THE GRUELING JOURNEY. 00:21 ON THE WAY SHE COLLAPSED, GAVE BIRTH TO THEIR DAUGHTER, 00:24 AND THEN DIED. 00:26 THE BEAUTIFUL EMPRESS WAS ONLY 39 YEARS OLD. 00:29 BESIDE HIMSELF WITH GRIEF, THE EMPEROR CARRIED HIS WIFE'S BODY 00:32 HOME AND CONSTANTLY WORE WHITE ROBES OF MOURNING. 00:35 WHEN HE FINALLY CAME OUT OF SECLUSION, 00:37 HE ORDERED THAT A BEAUTIFUL PALACE BE BUILT 00:40 FOR HIS BELOVED WIFE. 00:41 IT WAS NEVER TO BE CALLED A TOMB; 00:43 IT WAS TO BE CALLED BY THE INDIAN WORD, 00:45 MAHAL, MEANING PALACE. 00:48 THE PALACE THAT THE EMPEROR BUILT IS ONE OF THE MOST 00:51 BREATHTAKING STRUCTURES EVER BUILT. 00:53 A DAZZLING WONDER OF MARBLE AND JEWELS KNOWN TODAY 00:57 AS THE TAJ MAHAL. 00:59 THIS MAJESTIC TOMB IS AN ABIDING MEMORIAL OF THE EMPEROR'S 01:03 LOVE FOR HIS WIFE. 01:04 DID YOU KNOW THAT GOD HAS ALSO GIVEN BELIEVERS AN ETERNAL 01:08 MEMORIAL OF HIS CREATIVE POWER OF LOVE? 01:12 IT'S BUILT NOT IN MARBLE BUT IN TIME, 01:15 AND IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 01:17 SO, LET'S DIVE INTO TOGETHER NOW AND EXPLORE THIS IMPORTANT AND 01:21 FASCINATING SUBJECT. 01:27 DOUG: WE'RE GOING TO START WITH A 01:28 STORY THAT YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE IN THE BOOK 01:32 OF DANIEL - DANIEL CHAPTER 1 - AND IT'S CALLED 01:36 BABYLON'S BUFFET AND THIS IS BASED UPON DANIEL 1, 01:41 VERSES 1 THROUGH 21 - IT'S A WHOLE CHAPTER. 01:43 NOW DANIEL IS A BOOK THAT DEALS A LOT WITH PROPHECY, BUT 01:46 IT'S INTERESTING HOW THE BOOK OF DANIEL BEGINS WITH A TEST. 01:51 ABOUT 500 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST, KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR INVADED 01:54 JERUSALEM, AND ON HIS FIRST ATTACK ON THE CITY 01:59 HE CARRIED AWAY THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS FROM 02:02 JERUSALEM TO BABYLON AND AMONG THOSE HE CARRIED 02:05 AWAY WERE SOME OF THE PRINCES OF JERUSALEM. 02:09 SOME OF THEM, THE BIBLE FORETOLD, WERE DESCENDANTS OF 02:12 KING HEZEKIAH. AND THEY WERE TAKEN AND THEY 02:15 WERE EDUCATED IN THE PALACE OF BABYLON. 02:19 AND THE KING SAID, 'LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO TEACH YOU 02:20 THE LANGUAGE OF THE BABYLONIANS' - HE TOOK THE 02:22 BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST LOOKING OF ALL THE ROYAL 02:25 CHILDREN BACK TO BABYLON AND HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO 02:29 TRAIN YOU IN ALL THE SCIENCES OF BABYLON,' - 02:32 WHICH WAS THE MOST SOPHISTICATED PLACE IN THE 02:34 WORLD AT THE TIME - 'AND AFTER THREE YEARS, THOSE 02:37 WHO PASSED THE TEST - THE CREAM OF THE CROP - WILL 02:39 STAND BEFORE ME AND THEY WILL BE REPRESENTATIVES TO 02:43 THESE OTHER NATIONS.' NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS REALLY 02:46 A VERY SMART LEADER AND HE HAD GREAT COUNSELORS AND 02:48 THIS WAS A WISE PLAN. SO AMONG SOME OF THE THOUSANDS 02:52 THAT WERE CARRIED FROM JERUSALEM WERE FOUR HEBREW YOUNG MEN. 02:56 THEIR JEWISH NAMES WERE DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, 03:00 AND AZARIAH. BABYLONIAN NAMES WERE 03:03 BELTESHAZAR, SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO. 03:07 AND DANIEL, SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WENT 03:12 TO THIS SCHOOL, BUT THEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT THEY 03:14 WERE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO EAT FROM THE ROYAL 03:16 CAFETERIA. NOW MOST CAPTIVES WOULD 03:18 HAVE BEEN THRILLED. ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS 03:20 FROM THE OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD NEBUCHADNEZZAR 03:21 CONQUERED - THEY WERE THRILLED THAT THEY 03:23 GOT TO EAT AT THE BABYLONIAN BUFFET. 03:26 IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD, 03:29 BUT RIGHT AWAY DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS REALIZED THEY 03:31 COULDN'T EAT THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS FOOD IN THERE 03:33 THAT GOD HAD DESIGNATED AS UNCLEAN. 03:36 AND IT SAYS IN DANIEL 1, VERSE 8, "BUT DANIEL 03:40 PURPOSED IN HIS HEART THAT HE WOULD NOT DEFILE 03:43 HIMSELF WITH THE PORTION OF THE KING'S DELICACIES, 03:47 NOR WITH THE WINE WHICH HE DRANK;" - SO DANIEL WENT 03:50 TO THE CHIEF OF THE EUNUCHS, WHICH WAS IN 03:52 CHARGE OF THE PREPARATION AND THEIR TRAINING, 03:54 AND HE SAID, 'LET US JUST EAT VEGETABLES. 03:57 GIVE US TEN DAYS.' AND YOU'LL FIND THE KING JAMES 03:59 WORD THERE IS 'PULSE' - SOME OF YOUR TRANSLATIONS 04:02 IT JUST SAYS VEGETABLES - AND HE SAID, 'OH, I CAN'T 04:05 DO THAT.' - HE SAYS - 'THE KING'S GOING TO LOOK AT 04:06 YOU AND SAY, 'HOW COME THESE YOUNG MEN ARE SICK?' 04:08 AND I'M GOING TO SAY, 'WELL, THEY'RE NOT EATING THE 04:10 FOOD THAT YOU PROVIDED.' 'WHAT? 04:11 MY FOOD WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM?' 04:13 AND HE SAID, 'HE'LL TAKE MY HEAD OFF.' DANIEL SAID, 04:15 'YOU TEST US. GIVE US TEN DAYS. 04:17 IF WE DON'T LOOK OKAY, FINE.' SO, FOR TEN DAYS 04:22 THEY ATE NOTHING BUT VEGETABLES. 04:25 THEY ATE VEGETABLE STEW AND A VEGETARIAN DIET - DRANK 04:28 WATER - AND THE BIBLE SAYS - DANIEL 1, VERSE 15 - 04:33 "AND AT THE END OF TEN DAYS THEIR COUNTENANCES 04:36 APPEARED FAIRER AND FATTER IN FLESH THAN ALL THE 04:39 CHILDREN WHICH DID EAT THE PORTION OF THE KING'S 04:41 MEAT." THEY WERE HEALTHIER THAN 04:44 THOSE WHO WERE EATING FROM THE CAFETERIA OF BABYLON. 04:47 NOW WHY DOES THE BIBLE INCLUDE THIS STORY? 04:51 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD THEM 04:53 TESTED - PROBABLY BY HIMSELF AS WELL AS HIS 04:56 OTHER WISE MEN IN THE KINGDOM - THEY FOUND THAT 04:59 AMONG ALL THE CAPTIVES THAT HAD BEEN TRAINED, 05:01 DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AND AZARIAH WERE TEN TIMES 05:05 WISER - TEN TIMES WISER - THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS WHO 05:10 HAD TRAINED. BEING A CHRISTIAN IS NOT 05:14 JUST ABOUT A CHANGE IN YOUR THINKING. 05:16 BEING A CHRISTIAN IS AN ENTIRE TRANSFORMATION AND 05:21 'WHATEVER YOU EAT AND WHATEVER YOU DRINK, DO ALL 05:23 TO THE GLORY OF GOD.' IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE 05:25 WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY. 05:27 YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 05:30 AND A TRUTH THAT HAS BEEN LOST IN RECENT YEARS TO 05:34 CHRISTIANITY - BOTH PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS 05:38 AND EVANGELICALS - IS A VERY CLEAR BIBLICAL TEACHING 05:41 THAT WE ARE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BODIES. 05:45 WE ARE TO BE CAREFUL. WE ARE TO USE SELF-CONTROL 05:47 AND ESPECIALLY IS THAT IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE 05:50 LIVING IN A SOCIETY THAT IS DROWNING IN ABUNDANCE. 05:53 #1 - WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL DIET THAT GOD DESIGNED FOR 05:56 HUMANS IN THE BEGINNING - WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY 05:58 BACK TO GENESIS NOW - FIRST CHAPTER IN THE 06:01 BIBLE, GENESIS 1:29, AND GOD SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE 06:06 GIVEN YOU EVERY HERB BEARING SEED,'" - AND 06:10 THAT'S TALKING ABOUT EVERY PLANT. 06:12 AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, "...AND EVERY TREE, IN THE 06:15 WHICH IS THE FRUIT OF A TREE YIELDING SEED; TO YOU 06:21 IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT.'" - AND THAT WORD 'MEAT' THERE 06:23 IS THE OLD ENGLISH WORD. IT MEANS 'FOOD' - IT'S 06:26 LIKE THE MEAT OF A NUT - IT JUST MEANS 'THE FOOD'. 06:28 SO THE ORIGINAL DIET FOR ADAM AND EVE WAS WHAT? 06:31 FRUITS, GRAINS, NUTS - IT WAS A 'FRUITARIAN' DIET. 06:37 THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN COOK ANY FOOD BACK THERE. 06:39 HOW LONG DID GOD INTEND FOR ADAM AND EVE TO LIVE 06:41 WHEN HE FIRST MADE THEM? >>FOREVER. 06:43 >>FOREVER. AND THEN, AFTER SIN, GOD 06:49 ADDED ONE MORE THING TO THE DIET BECAUSE HE SAID, 06:51 'YOU CAN'T EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE ANY LONGER.' 06:53 AFTER ADAM AND EVE SINNED IT SAYS, 'WHAT 06:55 SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD DID GOD THEN ADD TO THEIR DIET?' 06:58 GENESIS 3:18, IT SAYS, "...THOU SHALT EAT THE 07:03 HERB OF THE FIELD." THAT MEANS THE VEGETABLE. 07:07 BUT A VEGETABLE IS TECHNICALLY - OH, LET ME 07:11 GIVE YOU A TEST AND FIND OUT - FRUIT OR VEGETABLE - 07:15 BANANA? >>FRUIT. 07:16 >>FRUIT. APPLE? >>FRUIT. 07:18 >>ZUCCHINI? >>VEGETABLE. 07:21 >>FRUIT. EGGPLANT? >>VEGETABLE. 07:25 >>FRUIT. BRUSSELS SPROUTS? 07:29 >>VEGETABLE. >>INEDIBLE. 07:31 (LAUGHTER) BRUSSELS SPROUTS ARE ACTUALLY A VEGETABLE. 07:36 CELERY? >>VEGETABLE. 07:38 >>IT'S A VEGETABLE. POTATO? 07:41 >>VEGETABLE. >>IT'S A VEGETABLE. 07:42 SO ANY PART OF THE PLANT OTHER THAN THE SEED AND 07:45 THE PRODUCT OF THE FLOWER - A FRUIT IS THE PRODUCT OF 07:47 THE FLOWER - IS GOING TO BE A VEGETABLE - THE 07:50 STALK, THE LEAVES, THE FLOWERS - THOSE ARE ALL 07:51 CONSIDERED TO BE VEGETABLES. 07:53 THE ROOT - YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TUBERS - A POTATO. 07:57 SO HE ADDED THAT TO THE DIET AND THERE WERE ALL 07:59 KINDS OF IMPORTANT ENZYMES AND THINGS IN THERE. 08:02 SO THERE ARE BENEFITS - THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT 08:04 THERE ARE BENEFITS TO EATING A VEGETABLE-BASED DIET. 08:07 FOR AWHILE, PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT SEVENTH-DAY 08:09 ADVENTISTS WERE KOOKS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ 08:11 THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. 08:14 IT SAID - THEY PICKED OUT THE THREE LONGEST LIVING 08:17 PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. DID YOU KNOW THAT? 08:20 YOU CAN GO LOOK THIS UP. NUMBER 1, THERE WERE 08:22 PEOPLE IN SARDINIA IN - OFF OF ITALY IN THE 08:25 MEDITERRANEAN, THE PEOPLE OF OKINAWA, AND THE 08:29 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, PRINCIPALLY IN THE LOMA 08:31 LINDA AREA WHERE THEY HAVE A UNIVERSITY AND THERE'S 08:33 A LARGE CONCENTRATION. THEY STUDIED THEM. 08:35 THEY LIVED THE LONGEST OF ANY PEOPLE GROUPS IN THE WORLD. 08:38 AND WHEN THEY ASKED WHY DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE LONGER, 08:41 THEY SAID, 'WELL, SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS - 08:43 IT'S THE COMMUNITY, THE REST FROM THE SABBATH, AND 08:45 THEY'RE LARGELY - NOT ENTIRELY, BUT LARGELY - A 08:48 VEGETARIAN LIFESTYLE - HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. 08:50 AND SO, WHAT WE'RE SHARING WITH YOU IS NOT SOME 08:53 RELIGIOUS BELIEF, THIS IS HARD, SCIENTIFIC FACT - 08:56 THAT IF YOU EAT - THE CLOSER TO THE BIBLICAL 08:59 DIET THAT GOD PRESCRIBED, THE LONGER YOU'RE GOING TO 09:04 LIVE, THE BETTER YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL, THE LESS 09:05 DISEASE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE. 09:08 IN THE MANUAL HE TELLS YOU WHAT THE IDEAL DIET IS FOR 09:10 MAN, AND FOLLOWING THAT DIET WILL CERTAINLY MAKE 09:13 YOU FEEL BETTER. I'LL SHARE A LITTLE MORE 09:15 PERSONALLY WITH YOU AS WE PROCEED. 09:18 WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY, MORE SPECIFICALLY, ABOUT 09:20 EATING? ARE THERE SOME MAMMALS - 09:21 SOME FOODS THAT ARE CLEAN AND SOME THAT ARE UNCLEAN? 09:24 YOU KNOW, DANIEL SAID HE WOULDN'T DEFILE HIMSELF 09:27 WITH THE MEAT WHICH THE KING'S SERVANTS WERE 09:29 EATING. WHAT MAMMALS DOES GOD 09:30 PERMIT HUMANS TO EAT? THAT'S QUESTION #9. 09:33 YOU LOOK IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 3, IT TELLS US THAT 09:37 THERE'S TWO CRITERIA THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON A 09:39 MAMMAL THAT IS GOING TO BE EATEN. 09:40 IT SAYS, WHATEVER DOES WHAT? 09:42 PARTS THE HOOF, AND IS CLOVEN FOOTED - AND CHEWS 09:47 THE CUD - THESE ARE CLEAN. NOW, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT 09:51 GOAT, SHEEP, DEER, ELK, MOOSE, THESE THINGS ARE 09:57 WHAT YOU WOULD CALL 'CLEAN' ANIMALS. 10:00 BUT THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY SOME THINGS THAT MAY CHEW 10:03 THE CUD - LIKE A CAMEL - BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF. 10:05 IT NEEDED BOTH CRITERIA - THEY'RE UNCLEAN. 10:08 I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING, 'OH, 10:10 DOUG, YOU TELL ME I HAVE TO GET RID OF MY CAMEL 10:11 STEAK TONIGHT AFTER THE PROGRAM.' (LAUGHTER) YES. 10:14 THAT'S WHY JESUS MADE FUN OF THE PHARISEES. 10:17 HE SAID, 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES. 10:18 YOU STRAIN A GNAT' - WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT WAS THEY 10:21 USED TO POUR THEIR WATER THROUGH THESE STRAINING 10:23 CLOTHS - THEY SAID, 'LEST WE HAVE A GNAT IN THERE 10:26 AND IT'S UNCLEAN.' THEY WOULD STRAIN THEIR WATER 10:29 TO PREVENT EATING A GNAT, BUT WHEN NO ONE WAS 10:31 LOOKING THEY'D EAT A CAMEL STEAK, WHICH WAS UNCLEAN, 10:33 BIBLICALLY. HE SAYS, 'YOU STRAIN A 10:34 GNAT AND YOU SWALLOW A CAMEL. 10:36 YOU EVER HEARD THAT EXPRESSION BEFORE? 10:37 THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. 10:39 HE'S SAYING 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES. 10:40 YOU KNOW CAMEL IS UNCLEAN BUT YOU'RE SO AFRAID OF A 10:42 LITTLE GNAT AND WHEN NO ONE'S LOOKING YOU EAT 10:43 CAMEL STEAK.' IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT MEAT, IT 10:47 NEEDS TO HAVE THOSE TWO CRITERIA - 10:50 BE CLOVEN HOOFED AND CHEW THE CUD. 10:53 NOW THERE ARE SOME OF YOU WHO ARE THINKING, 'WELL, 10:54 PASTOR DOUG, BUT DIDN'T - AREN'T HUMANS DESIGNED TO 10:56 EAT MEAT AND ISN'T THAT WHY GOD GAVE US THESE, YOU 10:58 KNOW, CANINE TEETH FOR THE RIPPING AND TEARING OF MEAT. 11:01 SEE THIS CHARACTER ON THE SCREEN? 11:07 HE'S GOT CANINE TEETH TOO. HE'S A VEGETARIAN. 11:11 SO IT'S JUST - THERE'S ALL KINDS OF MYTHS OUT THERE. 11:13 MATTER OF FACT, THE ANIMAL WITH THE BIGGEST TEETH IS 11:15 AN ELEPHANT AND HIPPO - THEY'RE ALL VEGETARIANS. 11:17 SO, PEOPLE SAY ALL KINDS OF-- 11:19 LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED BIBLICALLY WHEN - BEFORE 11:23 THE FLOOD, YOU CAN SEE - OF COURSE THERE WAS LOTS 11:26 OF VEGETATION BACK THEN - YOU'VE GOT METHUSELAH - 11:29 969 YEARS, NOAH - 950 YEARS, SETH - 912 YEARS. 11:33 IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FLOOD IT DROPS DOWN TO 500 11:37 YEARS, 200 YEARS, ABRAHAM - 175 YEARS, JACOB - 11:41 147 YEARS, DAVID 70 YEARS. 11:45 AND DAVID SAID, 'NOW OUR YEARS ARE THREE-SCORE AND 11:48 TEN.' THAT'S ABOUT 70 - AS AN AVERAGE. 11:50 AND HE SAID, 'IF, BY REASON OF STRENGTH, IT'S 11:52 FOUR-SCORE' - THAT'S 80 - HE SAID, 'IT'S STILL WITH 11:54 MUCH PAIN AND SUFFERING.' AND SO OUR TIME IS LIMITED. 11:59 BUT YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENED AFTER THE FLOOD? 12:01 ALL THE VEGETATION WAS DESTROYED. 12:03 NOAH WAS TOLD TO TAKE THE CLEAN ANIMALS ON THE ARK 12:06 BY SEVENS - UNCLEAN JUST TWO. WHY? 12:10 IF THEY WERE ALLOWED TO EAT THE UNCLEAN ANIMALS 12:12 THERE WOULD BE A LOT MORE EXTINCT SPECIES, RIGHT? 12:14 THEY WOULD HAVE EATEN THEM DURING THE FLOOD. 12:16 BUT YOU'RE ONLY ALLOWED TO SACRIFICE THE CLEAN 12:18 ANIMALS. WHAT TYPES OF FISH AND 12:21 SEAFOOD ARE CONSIDERED CLEAN, BIBLICALLY? 12:23 LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 9, "THESE YOU MAY EAT OF ALL 12:28 THAT ARE IN THE WATER: WHATEVER...HAS FINS AND 12:33 SCALES," - IT NEEDED BOTH CHARACTERISTICS TO BE 12:35 CLEAN AND THE REASON FOR THAT WAS THERE'S A LOT OF 12:40 STRANGE THINGS THAT ARE OUT THERE IN THE OCEAN AND 12:41 SOME OF THEM ARE POISONOUS. 12:44 DOUG: DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS. 12:46 WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT WITH THE REST 12:47 OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION. 12:49 IT'S NO SECRET FRIENDS, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TODAY ARE SUFFERING 12:53 FROM HEALTH ISSUES THAT LEAD TO CRIPPLING DISEASE 12:55 AND SHORTER LIVES. 12:57 WE SPEND BILLIONS EVERY YEAR ON GOOFY HEALTH FADS BUT OFTEN END 13:02 UP HURTING OUR BODIES MORE THAN HELPING. 13:04 BUT WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT THE BIBLE HAS THE EXACT PRESCRIPTION 13:08 THAT YOU NEED TO LIVE A HEALTHIER AND A HAPPIER LIFE? 13:12 AMAZING FACTS WANTS TO SEND YOU A SPECIAL FREE RESOURCE CALLED 13:15 "AMAZING HEALTH FACTS!" 13:18 THIS ATTRACTIVE FULL COLOR MAGAZINE PRESENTS EIGHT POWERFUL 13:21 BIBLICAL HEALTH LESSONS IN A DIRECT AND CAPTIVATING WAY 13:25 GIVING YOU PRACTICAL, EASY-TO-FOLLOW GUIDANCE ON 13:27 BETTER LIVING TODAY. 13:29 BACKED BY MODERN RESEARCH, EACH LESSON IS PACKED WITH COLORFUL 13:32 AND INTRIGUING FACTS THAT WILL HELP YOU KEEP YOUR BODY, 13:36 MIND, AND SPIRIT STRONGER THAN EVER. 13:38 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN AND 13:41 ASK FOR OFFER NUMBER 806 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS AND AFTER 13:45 YOU READ THIS INCREDIBLE RESOURCE, 13:47 BE SURE AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND. 13:49 LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME 13:52 MORE AMAZING FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD. 13:57 DOUG: YOU KNOW, THE U.S. NAVY DID A STUDY A FEW 13:59 YEARS AGO WHERE THEY SAID, 14:02 'WHAT DO WE GIVE, AS A RULE OF THUMB, TO SAILORS 14:04 OR PILOTS THAT ARE SHOT DOWN - IF THEY NEED TO EAT 14:06 SEAFOOD WHILE THEY'RE FLOATING AROUND ON THESE 14:08 RAFTS - BECAUSE DURING WORLD WAR II A LOT OF 14:10 THEM, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY COULD AND 14:11 COULDN'T EAT. THEY SPENT MILLIONS OF 14:13 GOVERNMENT DOLLARS. THEY DID A STUDY AND YOU 14:15 KNOW WHAT THEY CAME BACK WITH? 14:17 THIS IS WHAT THE NAVY STUDY CONCLUDED: IF IT HAS 14:20 FINS AND SCALES IT'S PROBABLY SAFE TO EAT. 14:24 THEY COULD HAVE SAVED SO MUCH MONEY AND JUST READ 14:25 WHAT THE BIBLE SAID. (LAUGHTER) NOW YOU CAN 14:29 READ ON THERE IN LEVITICUS AND IT SAYS THERE IN 14:32 LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 10, "BUT ALL IN THE SEAS OR 14:35 IN THE RIVERS THAT DO NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES," - 14:39 THAT MEANS RIVERS, SEAS, LAKES - ALL THE OTHER 14:41 WATER CREATURES - "THAT DO NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES, 14:44 ALL THAT MOVE IN THE WATER OR ANY LIVING THING WHICH IS IN THE 14:47 WATER, THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION TO YOU." 14:51 WHY DOESN'T GOD WANT US TO EAT CERTAIN THINGS? 14:53 THESE ANIMALS - CRABS, LOBSTERS - YOU KNOW HOW 14:56 THEY CATCH THEM? THEY'RE SCAVENGERS. 14:58 THEY PUT SOME DECOMPOSING FISH HEAD IN A TRAP AND 15:02 THEY ARE MADE BY GOD TO BE THE GARBAGE CANS IN THE 15:04 WORLD TO CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT. 15:06 THEY EAT ALL THE TOXINS. CLAMS - THEY SOAK 15:09 UP ALL THE TOXINS. WE HAVE ONE PRESIDENT 15:11 THAT DIED FROM EATING CONTAMINATED OYSTERS. 15:13 AND THESE THINGS ARE JUST - THEY'RE NOT HEALTHY. 15:18 SHRIMP - WHEN THEY SERVE SHRIMP, THEY SERVE IT 15:20 COMPLETE WITH THE INTESTINES - ARE STILL - 15:23 THE DIGESTIVE TRACK IS STILL IN THERE. 15:24 THAT'S NOT GOD'S - THAT STUFF'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU. 15:27 THERE'S - DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BAY WHERE 15:29 YOU GET THE OYSTERS AND THE CLAMS ARE ALL THE TOXINS. 15:32 THEY'RE - THESE ANIMALS ARE MADE BY GOD TO FILTER 15:34 AND HELP CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT. 15:35 SAME THING WITH CERTAIN BIRDS THAT ARE CONSIDERED 15:38 UNCLEAN. WHICH BIRDS ARE UNCLEAN? 15:41 IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSES 15 AND 16, IT SAYS, "EVERY 15:47 RAVEN AFTER ITS KIND, AND THE OWL, AND THE 15:53 NIGHTHAWK, AND THE CUCKOW...AFTER ITS 15:56 KIND," - THE RAPTORS AND THE CARNIVOROUS BIRDS WERE 16:00 CONSIDERED UNCLEAN. THE CLEAN BIRDS - THERE'S 16:03 NOT A RULE LIKE FINS AND SCALES - BUT THE CLEAN 16:06 BIRDS WERE THE FORAGING BIRDS - TURKEY, THE 16:10 CHICKENS, PHEASANT, SO FORTH - THEY WOULD BE CLEAN. 16:13 ARE THE LAWS ABOUT CLEAN AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS PART 16:15 OF MOSES' CEREMONIAL LAW WHICH ENDED AT THE CROSS? 16:20 THIS IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK. 16:21 GENESIS 7, VERSES 1 AND 2 - SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, 16:26 THOSE ARE LAWS JUST FOR THE JEWS' - THOSE CLEAN 16:29 AND UNCLEAN LAWS. WAS NOAH JEWISH? 16:33 LET'S READ THIS TOGETHER: "...COME THOU AND ALL THY 16:36 HOUSE INTO THE ARK...OF EVERY CLEAN BEAST THOU 16:42 SHALL TAKE TO THEE BY SEVENS." 16:44 SO DOES GOD MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN CLEAN 16:47 AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS EVEN BEFORE THERE WERE ANY JEWS? 16:52 QUIZ: HOW MANY OF YOU ARE RELATED TO NOAH? 16:56 >>ALL OF US. >>THAT'S RIGHT! 16:58 EVERYBODY HERE - AND SO IF GOD MADE IT - THIS IS A TEST. 17:02 I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU MANAGED - YOUR ANCESTORS 17:04 SURVIVED THE FLOOD, BESIDES NOAH - EVERYBODY 17:07 HERE IS RELATED TO NOAH. GOD MADE A DISTINCTION - 17:10 THESE ARE THINGS THAT WERE FOR MANKIND - YOU CAN SEE 17:12 IT GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO GENESIS. 17:14 SHOULD A CHRISTIAN, BIBLICALLY, USE ALCOHOLIC 17:17 BEVERAGES? SOME CHURCHES WOULD SAY, 17:20 'SURE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? JESUS DRANK WINE.' 17:22 IT WAS NOT ALCOHOLIC, IT WAS GRAPE JUICE. 17:25 THE BIBLE SAYS - PROVERBS 21 - AND THE BIBLE DOESN'T 17:27 CONTRADICT ITSELF - "WINE IS A MOCKER, STRONG DRINK 17:32 IS RAGING" - IT'S TALKING ABOUT FERMENTED WINE HERE 17:35 - "AND WHOEVER IS DECEIVED THEREBY IS NOT WISE." 17:39 THE BIBLE SAYS 'GIVE WINE TO HIM THAT IS READY TO 17:42 PERISH.' THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT NOAH DRANK WINE 17:45 AND HE STUMBLED AROUND NAKED AND SOMETHING 17:48 EMBARRASSING HAPPENED. LOT'S DAUGHTERS GAVE THEIR 17:51 FATHER WINE AND HE SLEPT WITH HIS DAUGHTERS. 17:55 GOOD THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN WHEN PEOPLE DRINK ALCOHOL. 17:59 CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT UNDERWRITE THAT. 18:01 AND YOU MIGHT BE SAYING, 'PASTOR DOUG, I JUST HAVE, 18:02 YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF WINE ONCE A WEEK. 18:05 JUST A LITTLE - I HAVE NO PROBLEM - I DON'T HAVE A 18:07 DRINKING PROBLEM.' THAT MAY BE, BUT ARE YOU AWARE 18:10 THAT ONE OUT OF SEVEN PEOPLE DOES HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM? 18:13 ALCOHOL IS ADDICTIVE. DO WE ALL KNOW THAT? 18:17 SOME PEOPLE - IT JUST WRECKS THEIR LIVES. 18:19 IT WRECKS THEIR MARRIAGES. 18:20 IT WRECKS THEIR CAREERS. IT WRECKS THEIR HEALTH. 18:23 THERE WILL BE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN THAT SMOKED. 18:27 I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR. THERE ARE GOING TO BE 18:28 PEOPLE THAT DRANK ALCOHOL - MARTIN LUTHER DRANK BEER. 18:31 I DON'T THINK THEY UNDERSTOOD BACK THEN WHAT 18:33 WE UNDERSTAND. THE MAN WHO WROTE AMAZING 18:34 GRACE, JOHN NEWTON, HE SMOKED. DO YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN HE 18:38 SMOKED, DOCTORS ACTUALLY PRESCRIBED TOBACCO FOR ASTHMA. 18:42 CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW THAT? 18:45 YEAH, BUT WE KNOW BETTER NOW. 18:50 CIGARETTES ARE THE NUMBER TWO LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH 18:54 - PREVENTABLE CAUSE OF DEATH - IN NORTH AMERICA - 18:56 TOBACCO. IT MAKES YOU PREMATURELY AGE. 19:00 IT'LL MAKE YOUR VOICE RASPY AND MAKES YOUR 19:03 CLOTHES SMELL FUNNY. TOBACCO - THERE'S 19:06 NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT. THERE'S NO NUTRITIONAL 19:08 VALUE AND IT COSTS A FORTUNE. 19:10 WHEN I WAS A KID IT WAS TWENTY-FIVE CENTS A PACK. 19:13 MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT PEOPLE PAY FOR A PACK OF 19:15 CIGARETTES NOW. YOU CAN BUY A NEW CAR AFTER 19:17 QUITTING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. (LAUGHTER) ARE THE BIBLE 19:21 HEALTH PRINCIPLES STILL PRACTICAL TODAY? 19:23 NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH A LIST OF SEVERAL 19:25 BIBLE PRINCIPLES AND THESE ARE HEALTH PRINCIPLES AND 19:29 YOU ARE GOING TO BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH OF THE 19:30 WORLD, NOW, IS REALIZING THESE ARE BASIC HEALTH 19:33 LAWS - THEY'RE ALL IN THE BIBLE. 19:36 FIRST OF ALL, QUARANTINE PROCEDURES CONTROL 19:39 CONTAGIOUS DISEASE. WITH THIS EBOLA 19:43 DISCUSSION, WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? 19:46 LOOK AT THE INCREDIBLE LENGTHS THEY'RE GOING TO 19:49 TO MAINTAIN A STERILE ENVIRONMENT AND QUARANTINE 19:51 PROCEDURES. IN THE BIBLE, GOD GAVE THAT. 19:54 HE SAID IF SOMEONE IS UNCLEAN, THEY NEED TO 19:56 WASH, THEY NEED TO STAY OUTSIDE THE CAMP, THEY'RE 19:57 CONTAGIOUS - THERE'S ALL KINDS OF LAWS ABOUT CONTAGION. 20:00 THEY UNDERSTOOD THIS IN THE BIBLE. 20:03 NUMBER TWO - BASIC THING, AGAIN, CONNECTED WITH 20:05 EBOLA - IF THESE THINGS WERE BEING PRACTICED IN 20:08 SOME OF THE COUNTRIES - IT SAYS HUMAN BODY WASTE 20:12 SHOULD BE BURIED. NOW, I KNOW, IT MAY NOT BE 20:16 PLEASANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT, BUT IF YOU'VE 20:18 TRAVELED - MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD I GO TO, EVEN 20:21 IN BIG CITIES, THEY STILL DON'T HAVE REGULAR 20:24 SANITATION AND - I KNOW, IT WOULD SHOCK YOU. 20:28 AND I WON'T NAME THOSE COUNTRIES BECAUSE I DON'T 20:29 WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY NOW, BUT WAY BACK IN THE 20:32 BIBLE, EVEN GOING THROUGH THE DESERT, GOD GAVE THEM 20:34 CERTAIN RULES ABOUT THAT. C - WASHING - REGULAR 20:38 WASHING OF THE BODY AND CLOTHING CONTROLS GERMS. 20:42 YOU KNOW, THAT'S IN THE BIBLE? 20:44 THEY HAD TO REGULARLY WASH. 20:45 EVEN AS THEY WENT THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, GOD ALWAYS 20:47 MADE SURE THEY HAD A WATER SUPPLY. 20:49 MOSES WOULD STRIKE THE ROCK AND WATER WOULD RUN 20:52 OUT AND THIS RIVER SEEMED TO BE REPRODUCED AND 20:54 FOLLOWED THEM WHEREVER THEY WENT IN THEIR JOURNEYS 20:56 SO THEY COULD NOT ONLY DRINK, BUT SO THEY COULD WASH. 21:00 AND FREQUENTLY IT TALKED ABOUT WASHING. 21:02 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT A LOT OF DISEASE COULD ALSO 21:04 BE PREVENTED, AS WE KNOW TODAY, BY MORAL LIVING. 21:09 IT PREVENTS SEXUAL DISEASES. LEVITICUS 18; PROVERBS 5, 21:13 VERSES 1 THROUGH 12 AND MANY OTHER VERSES. 21:16 THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED 21:19 DISEASES AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED FATAL 21:22 INFECTIONS BECAUSE OF IMMORAL LIFESTYLE. 21:26 ANSWER E - ANOTHER BIBLE PRINCIPLE ABOUT HEALTH - 21:29 ANIMAL FAT SHOULD NOT BE EATEN - NOT ONLY FAT, BUT 21:33 BLOOD. YOU KNOW, DISEASE CAN BE 21:36 TRANSFERRED FROM ANIMAL TO ANIMAL. 21:38 YOU DON'T CATCH A DISEASE FROM A PLANT. - 21:40 YOU MIGHT GET POISON IVY - BUT DISEASE CAN BE TRANSFERRED 21:43 FROM ANIMAL TO ANIMAL AND HE SAYS WE SHOULD NOT EAT BLOOD. 21:47 BY THE WAY, NEW TESTAMENT/OLD TESTAMENT, 21:49 BOTH SAY BLOOD IS FORBIDDEN. 21:51 ACTS 15 - READ IT YOURSELF - NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. 21:54 SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'THESE ARE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS.' 21:56 IT'S REPEATED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. 21:57 F - ANOTHER PRINCIPLE - HATRED AND BITTERNESS IS 22:01 DETRIMENTAL TO ONE'S HEALTH. 22:03 SOME PEOPLE ARE SICK, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT 22:05 THEY'RE EATING, BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT'S EATING THEM. 22:08 AND HAVING ANGER AND BITTERNESS IN YOUR HEART - 22:12 STRESS - IT REALLY DOES CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS. 22:15 G - PROVERBS TALKS ABOUT OVEREATING IS BAD FOR YOUR 22:19 HEALTH. (LAUGHTER) IT'S ONE THING 22:21 TO EAT HONEY, IT SAYS DON'T EAT TOO MUCH. 22:24 AND YOU CAN EVEN EAT TOO MUCH OF GOOD THINGS. 22:27 AND SUMO WRESTLERS USUALLY DON'T DIE OF OLD AGE 22:31 BECAUSE IT'S JUST, OBVIOUSLY, NOT GOOD. 22:35 H - OUR BODIES NEED PROPER REST. 22:38 PSALMS 127, VERSE 2 AND MARK 6:31 - THE SABBATH IS 22:43 ALL ABOUT THAT - GETTING PLENTY OF SLEEP. 22:46 ANSWER I - THE IMPORTANCE OF WORK. 22:51 NOT ONLY DOES IT SAY REST THE SEVENTH DAY, IT SAYS 22:53 SIX DAYS THOU SHALT WHAT? WORK. ANSWER J - A POSITIVE 22:58 ATTITUDE IS GOOD MEDICINE. THE LORD WANTS US TO HAVE 23:02 GOOD ATTI - A HAPPY HEART IS GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE. 23:05 AND EVEN WHEN I TEACH SOME OF THESE DIFFICULT TRUTHS, 23:07 YOU KNOW, I THINK WE SOMETIMES NEED TO BE ABLE 23:09 TO SMILE BECAUSE LIFE IS TOUGH ENOUGH. 23:13 IS GOD CONCERNED WITH OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH? 23:16 'I THINK GOD'S ONLY CONCERNED WITH SPIRITUAL 23:17 THINGS.' IS THAT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES? 23:19 MATTHEW 4:23, "AND JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE, 23:24 TEACHING IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES, AND PREACHING 23:27 THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, AND" - DOING WHAT? 23:30 >>HEALING. >>"HEALING ALL MANNER OF 23:32 SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE." 23:36 DOES THE LORD CARE ABOUT OUR HEALTH? 23:38 >>YES. >>YES. AND HE, MANY TIMES, WILL 23:41 MIRACULOUSLY HEAL PEOPLE. SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES 23:44 JUST BECAUSE OF GENETICS, SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES 23:46 BECAUSE YOU'RE EXPOSED TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS SICK, 23:49 THERE MIGHT BE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM BUT, 23:51 YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF SICKNESS IN OUR COUNTRY IS 23:54 SELF-INDUCED BECAUSE OF LIFESTYLE. 23:58 YOU KNOW WHY THERE'S A HEALTH-CARE CRISIS AND THE 24:01 MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS ARE BANKRUPT AND SO EXPENSIVE? 24:05 BECAUSE OF OUR LIFESTYLES, IN PARTICULAR IN THE 24:08 WESTERN CULTURES, BECAUSE THE RICH LIFE, THE LACK OF 24:11 EXERCISE, AND THE ABUNDANCE, PEOPLE ARE 24:13 BRINGING ON DISEASES EARLY IN LIFE AND THEN THEY ARE 24:16 STRUGGLING WITH THESE DISEASES FOR MANY YEARS 24:18 AND IT'S CAUSING CATASTROPHIC EXPENSES. 24:22 WE'D BE ABLE TO PUT A LOT OF HOSPITALS OUT OF 24:24 BUSINESS IF WE'D JUST FOLLOW THE BIBLE. 24:26 3 JOHN 2, "BELOVED, I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS" - GOD 24:31 SAYS, 'ABOVE ALL THINGS.' - "THAT YOU MAY" - WHAT? 24:35 - "PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH," - HOW? "JUST AS YOUR 24:39 SOUL PROSPERS." SO WHAT KIND OF LEVEL 24:42 DOES HE PUT IT ON? 'I WANT HEALTH - PHYSICAL 24:44 PROSPERITY - AND I WANT SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY. 24:46 NOW, IF YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE, PICK THE SPIRITUAL 24:49 BECAUSE WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF YOU HAVE PERFECT HEALTH 24:51 AND YOU'RE A TERRIBLE SINNER? 24:52 IT'S NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU FOR ETERNITY. 24:54 BUT GOD SAYS, 'YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'VE TAKEN CARE OF 24:56 THE SPIRIT, MAKE SURE AND TAKE CARE OF THE BODY 24:58 BECAUSE HAVING YOUR MIND CLEAR AND YOUR BODY 25:01 HEALTHY MAKES IT EASIER TO SERVE GOD - 25:04 TO RESIST THE DEVIL AND DO GOD'S WILL. 25:06 ANOTHER ONE - JOHN 10:10 - IT SAYS, "...I HAVE COME 25:10 THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND" - AND WHAT KIND OF 25:12 LIFE DOES HE WANT US TO HAVE? - "...MORE ABUNDANTLY." 25:16 YOU SEE THE FELLOW IN THAT PICTURE? 25:18 HIS NAME WAS BANANA GEORGE. 25:19 HE IS SKIING BAREFOOT - I'VE DONE THAT. 25:22 THAT IS VERY, VERY HARD FOR A YOUNG MAN TO DO - HE 25:26 IS, I THINK, 80 YEARS OLD IN THIS PICTURE. 25:28 HE CONTINUED SKIING UNTIL 92 - DIDN'T EVEN START 25:31 SKIING UNTIL HE WAS IN HIS FORTIES - HE LOVED BANANAS 25:34 AND THAT'S WHY HE ALWAYS WORE YELLOW. 25:35 HE PASSED AWAY WAY UP IN HIS 90S IN 2013, BUT I 25:39 ALWAYS WAS FASCINATED BY THAT PICTURE. 25:41 HERE'S A PICTURE SOMEONE JUST GAVE ME THIS YEAR. 25:44 THIS IS SOMEONE - KAREN AND I WERE PASTORS OF THIS 25:47 CHURCH IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ONE SISTER, 25:49 LAST TIME WE SAW HER SHE WAS 106. 25:52 AT THE TIME OF THIS ARTICLE - SHE PASSED AWAY 25:54 SINCE - SHE WAS 111 THEN. AND I REMEMBER I SAT WITH 25:58 HER AND HER BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HIS WIFE - HER NAME 26:02 WAS VIOLA COOK - IN THEIR HOME AND I WOULD EAT WITH THEM. 26:04 THEY HAD DELICIOUS VEGETARIAN FOOD - SHE WAS A VEGETARIAN 26:07 HER WHOLE LIFE. AND I REMEMBER HER 26:09 BROTHER-IN-LAW - I USED TO SAY, 'ART, HOW DO YOU GUYS 26:12 HAVE SUCH GREAT HEALTH AND STRENGTH?' 26:14 HERE I WAS A YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPER - I'D TRY 26:15 AND DO WORK FOR THEM - I COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH THEM. 26:17 AND I NOTICED HE PUSHED AWAY FROM THE TABLE. 26:19 I SAID, 'YOU'RE DONE EATING?' 26:20 HE SAID, 'HERE'S THE SECRET TO LIFE, DOUG. 26:23 STOP EATING WHILE YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE HUNGRY. 26:26 WAKE UP WHEN YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE TIRED. 26:29 AND STOP TALKING WHEN YOU STILL HAVE SOMETHING LEFT 26:30 TO SAY. (LAUGHTER) SO THAT'S THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS IN LIFE. 26:36 WHY IS OUR HEALTH SO IMPORTANT TO GOD? 26:39 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19, "...YOUR BODY" - AND VERSE 26:43 20 - "IS THE" - WHAT? >>THE TEMPLE. 26:46 >>"THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT...THEREFORE GLORIFY 26:50 GOD IN YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD'S." 26:55 AGAIN, ROMANS 12:1, "...PRESENT YOUR BODY A 26:58 LIVING SACRIFICE" - HOW? - "HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE 27:03 TO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE." 27:06 GOD SAYS, 'LOOK, YOU'VE BEEN - YOU'RE MADE IN 27:08 GOD'S IMAGE, YOU BELONG TO GOD, YOU ARE TO PRESENT, 27:12 NOT JUST YOUR SPIRIT, BUT PRESENT YOUR BODY - YOU 27:16 KNOW, WE WORSHIP GOD, NOT JUST WITH OUR MINDS, WE 27:18 WORSHIP GOD WITH OUR LIVES AND WHETHER YOU EAT OR 27:22 DRINK, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD. 27:26 ♪♪♪ 27:29 ANNOUNCER: DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST TODAY'S 27:31 LIFE-CHANGING FREE RESOURCE. 27:33 NOT ONLY CAN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN THE MAIL, YOU CAN 27:35 DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY STRAIGHT TO YOUR COMPUTER 27:38 OR MOBILE DEVICE. 27:39 TO GET YOUR DIGITAL COPY OF TODAY'S FREE GIFT, SIMPLY TEXT 27:42 THE KEYWORD ON YOUR SCREEN TO 40544 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS 27:47 SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN. 27:48 AND BE SURE TO SELECT THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OPTION 27:51 ON THE REQUEST PAGE. 27:52 IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER FOR YOU TO STUDY GOD'S WORD WITH 27:55 AMAZING FACTS WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT, AND MOST 27:59 IMPORTANT, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. 28:06 ANNOUNCER: AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED SUPPORT AS WE 28:09 TAKE THE GOSPEL OF JESUS CHRIST TO THE WORLD. 28:11 WE HOPE YOU'LL JOIN US NEXT WEEK AS WE DELVE DEEP 28:15 INTO THE WORD OF GOD TO EXPLORE MORE AMAZING FACTS. 28:18 ♪♪♪ 28:24 ANNOUNCER: THIS PRESENTATION WAS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF 28:27 THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. |
