01:00 >>THIS PRESEATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE FRIENDS OF THE
01:03 AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. 01:11 >>CHRIST HAD A NUMBER OF SABBATH CONFLICTS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN 01:14 THE GOSPELS, BUT YOU'LL NOTICE HE NEVER SAID THEY SHOULDN'T 01:19 KEEP IT; HE TOLD THEM HOW TO KEEP IT. 01:24 >>FOR OVER 40 YEARS AMAZING FACTS HAS BEEN DEDICATED TO 01:28 SHARING GOD'S WORD THROUGH MEDIA. 01:30 THIS PROGRAM FEATURES HIGHLIGHTS FROM SOME OF OUR BEST TELEVISION 01:34 BROADCASTS. WE INVITE YOU TO SIT BACK AND 01:36 ENJOY THIS EDITION OF AMAZING FACTS PRESENTS . 01:45 >>NOW WE'VE BEEN LEARNING A LOT ABOUT THE SABBATH TRUTH AND HOW 01:48 THIS VERY PROMINENT SUBJECT, THROUGH SCRIPTURE, HAS BEEN 01:52 NEGLECTED BY MUCH OF CHRISTIANITY. 01:55 I KNOW A PASTOR FRIEND WHO SAID, 'BROTHER DOUG, YOU'RE MAKING A 01:59 BIG DEAL ABOUT THE SABBATH DAY' - AND HE SAID, 'YOU WORSHIP GOD 02:04 ON THE SABBATH DAY' - HE SAID - 'BUT I WORSHIP GOD EVERY DAY.' 02:08 I SAID, 'NO, I WORSHIP GOD EVERY DAY ALSO. 02:11 IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT WORSHIP. HE SAID YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO 02:14 REST.' - I SAID - 'IF YOU REST EVERY DAY YOU'RE NOT HOLY, 02:18 YOU'RE LAZY.' (LAUGHTER) AND SO IT'S A DIFFERENT THING 02:22 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT HERE. YES, WE BELIEVE WE SHOULD 02:23 WORSHIP GOD EVERY DAY, AMEN? >>AMEN. 02:26 >>SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY? 02:29 YOU KNOW SOME OF YOU KNOW THE INCREDIBLE STORY OF THE 02:33 MISSIONARY - CHRISTIAN OLYMPIC ATHLETE ERIC LIDDELL. 02:37 THEY MADE A MOVIE ABOUT A BIG EVENT IN HIS LIFE. 02:41 HE WAS A DEDICATED CHRISTIAN, BUT HE WAS ALSO A VERY FAST 02:44 RUNNER. AND HE WAS CHOSEN BY HIS NATIVE 02:48 COUNTRY TO RUN IN THE OLYMPICS IN PARIS IN 1924. 02:52 HE WAS SUPPOSED TO RUN THE 100-METER EVENT, BUT THEN AFTER 02:56 HE GOT THERE AND THE TRAINING BEGAN, HE REALIZED THAT THERE 02:59 WAS GOING TO BE SOME FINAL TIME TRIALS THAT WOULD BE CONDUCTED 03:02 ON SUNDAY. HE SAID, 'WELL, I CAN'T 03:04 PARTICIPATE.' THEY SAID, 'WELL, WHY NOT?' 03:07 HE SAID, 'THAT'S THE SABBATH.' AND THEY SAID, 'WELL, THIS IS 03:11 JUST ONCE AND IT'S THE OLYMPICS.' HE SAID, 'I'M SORRY, 03:14 IT'S GOD AND I CAN'T DO IT.' AND IT SENT THEIR COUNTRY AND THEIR 03:19 TEAM INTO GREAT CONSTERNATION AND OVERDRIVE TO PERSUADE HIM, 03:23 JUST THIS ONE TIME, TO VIOLATE HIS CONVICTIONS, AND TO RUN ON 03:27 WHAT HE UNDERSTOOD TO BE THE SABBATH - SUNDAY. 03:29 HE SAID, 'I CAN'T DO IT.' HE SAID, 'WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF I 03:32 GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND I LOSE MY SOUL?' 03:34 HE SAID, 'IT'S A COMMANDMENT OF GOD. 03:35 NOT EVEN ONCE - I WON'T DO IT.' AND THEY EVEN GOT CHURCH LEADERS 03:39 TO GO TO HIM AND SAY, 'OH, GOD'LL UNDERSTAND.' HE SAID, 03:43 'WELL, THAT'S WHAT YOU SAY, BUT THE BIBLE SAYS IT'S A HOLY DAY 03:46 AND I'M NOT GOING TO COMPROMISE.' WHAT IF SHADRACH, 03:49 MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO HAD SAID, 'WE'RE JUST GOING TO BOW DOWN 03:52 ONCE FOR POLITICAL PEACE'? WHAT IF DANIEL SAID, 'I'M JUST 03:56 GOING TO SHUT MY WINDOWS NOW; I'M NOT GOING TO PRAY WITH 03:59 MY WINDOWS OPEN AND CREATE A SPECTACLE'? 04:02 GOD'S LOOKING FOR PEOPLE IN THE LAST DAYS THAT WILL NOT 04:04 COMPROMISE THEIR FAITH. >>AMEN. 04:06 >>WELL, THAT SUNDAY HE WENT TO CHURCH WHILE THEY WERE DOING THE 04:10 TIME TRIALS AND SOMEONE GOT AN IDEA. 04:11 THEY SAID, 'WELL, ERIC, WE HATE TO WASTE YOUR TALENT, MAYBE YOU 04:14 COULD RUN THE 400-METER EVENT.' HE SAID,' WELL, I'M NOT A 04:18 DISTANCE RUNNER. I'VE - IT'S A SPRINT - IT'S THE 04:21 100-METER' - AND THEY SAID, 'WE HAVE AN OPENING AND NONE OF THE 04:24 TRIALS AND THE RACE ARE NOT ON SUNDAY, WILL YOU TRY IT?' 04:27 HE SAID, 'WELL, PERHAPS GOD'S OPENING A DOOR.' HE DIDN'T DO 04:30 VERY WELL IN THE TRIALS - IN THE TIME TRIALS - BUT WHEN THE DAY 04:35 OF THE ACTUAL RACE CAME AND HE SAID, 'THIS IS ALL IN GOD'S 04:39 HANDS.' THEY FIRED THE GUN AND HE TOOK OFF AND HE RAN AND IT 04:43 SAID IT LOOKED LIKE HE WAS POSSESSED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT. 04:46 (LAUGHTER) HE WENT FLYING AROUND THE TRACK - AND HE RAN WITH THIS 04:49 VERY UNIQUE STYLE - WITH HIS HEAD BACK - AND IT'S LIKE HE 04:53 WASN'T EVEN LOOKING AT THE TRACK AND HE FINISHED SEVERAL LENGTHS 04:57 AHEAD OF EVERYBODY ELSE AND HE BROKE THE WORLD RECORD. 05:01 SOMEONE LATER SHOWED HIM THAT QUOTE, 'THEY THAT WAIT UPON THE 05:05 LORD WILL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY WILL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS 05:07 LIKE EAGLES; THEY'LL RUN AND THEY'LL NOT BE WEARY AND THEY'LL 05:11 WALK AND NOT FAINT.' ABOUT 20 YEARS LATER HE WAS SERVING AS A 05:14 MISSIONARY IN JAPAN WHEN WORLD WAR II BROKE OUT AND HE DIED OF 05:18 TYPHOID IN A PRISONER OF WAR CAMP. I EXPECT TO SEE HIM IN THE 05:21 KINGDOM. >>AMEN. 05:23 >>BECAUSE HE LIVED UP TO HIS CONVICTIONS - AND GOD NEEDS MORE 05:26 PEOPLE TODAY THAT WILL STAND UP FOR THAT COMMANDMENT. 05:29 NOW, WHILE I WOULD RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE WITH ERIC ABOUT WHICH 05:32 DAY IT IS, THE PRINCIPLE ABOUT KEEPING THE SABBATH HOLY HAS 05:37 BEEN LOST SIGHT OF AND IT'S JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THOSE OTHER 05:41 COMMANDMENTS THAT SAY, DO NOT LIE. 05:44 DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY. 05:45 DO NOT STEAL - IT MUST BE IMPORTANT TO GOD, HE WROTE IT. 05:49 SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN AND HOW DO WE KEEP THE SABBATH HOLY? 05:53 IT'S THE RESTORATION OF LIFE THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT. 05:57 LET'S LOOK AT THIS STUDY, FRIENDS, AND I THINK YOU'LL BE 05:59 PLEASED AND WE'LL LEARN A LOT AS WE STUDY TOGETHER. 06:03 FIRST QUESTION TONIGHT: DID GOD INTEND FOR ONLY JEWS TO OBSERVE 06:07 THE SABBATH? >>NO. 06:09 >>WELL, HOW MANY OF YOU ARE RELATED TO ADAM AND EVE? 06:15 NOT ONLY THAT, ALL OF US ARE RELATED TO NOAH TOO, IF YOU WANT 06:18 TO GET DOWN TO IT. THE BIBLE SAYS "THE SABBATH WAS 06:21 MADE FOR MAN" - MARK CHAPTER 2, VERSE 27. 06:24 IT DOESN'T SAY THE SABBATH WAS MADE FOR JEWS - IT MEANS MADE 06:29 FOR HUMANITY - IS THE WORD THERE IN GREEK. 06:32 IT'S TALKING ABOUT EVERYBODY. AND SO IT'S SOMETHING GOD MADE 06:35 AFTER THE SIX DAYS OF CREATION, FOR THE HUMAN RACE. 06:39 AND THERE YOU HAVE IT IN GENESIS CHAPTER 2, RIGHT AT THE 06:41 BEGINNING OF THE BIBLE, "THUS THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH AND 06:44 ALL THE HOST OF THEM WERE FINISHED AND ON THE SEVENTH DAY 06:48 GOD ENDED HIS WORK WHICH HE HAD DONE AND THE LORD BLESSED THE 06:52 SEVENTH DAY. HE RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY 06:54 FROM ALL HIS WORK, WHICH HE HAD DONE. 06:56 HE BLESSED THE SEVENTH DAY AND HE SANCTIFIED IT - HE MADE IT 07:00 HOLY - AND WHAT GOD DID IN CREATINTHAT DAY, IN 07:05 SANCTIFYING THAT DAY, HE DOES IN US - IN RECREATING US AND 07:10 SANCTIFYING US. GOD CAN MAKE THINGS 07:12 HOLY, CAN'T HE? CAN HE MAKE US HOLY? 07:15 HE CAN, BECAUSE 'IN IT HE RESTED FROM HIS WORK WHICH GOD CREATED 07:21 AND MADE.' AND THE BIBLE SAYS - ONE MORE VERSE THAT SHOWS THIS 07:24 IS NOT JUST FOR JEWS - IT SAYS, 'AND FROM ONE SABBATH TO ANOTHER 07:29 SHALL' - HOW MANY? - >>ALL. 07:30 >>''ALL FLESH COME AND WORSHIP BEFORE ME' SAYS THE LORD.' IT'S 07:35 A TIME WHEN NOT JUST JEWS - I'VE HEARD A LOT OF, 'WELL, THAT WAS 07:38 THE SABBATH OF THE JEWS AND THEN WE HAVE THE SABBATH OF THE 07:41 GENTILES.' YOU DON'T FIND THAT TEACHING ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE - 07:43 THAT IT'S JUST FOR ONE PEOPLE. 07:46 WHY WOULD JEWS NEED TO REST DIFFERENTLY THAN EVERYBODY ELSE? 07:50 OR WHY WOULD IT BE THAT THEY NEED THE SABBATH REST AND NO ONE 07:53 ELSE DOES? THAT WOULDN'T MAKE ANY SENSE. 07:56 YOU KNOW, IN A DOCUMENT FROM EARLY CHRISTIAN ANTIQUITY IT 08:00 SAYS 'THE ANCIENT CHRISTIANS WE VERY CAREFUL IN THE 08:03 OBSERVATION OF SATURDAY, OR WHAT WE CALL THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE 08:06 WEEK. IT IS PLAIN IN ALL THE ORIENTAL 08:08 CHURCHES AND THE GREATEST PART OF THE WORLD OBSERVE THE SABBATH 08:12 AS A FESTIVAL.' ATHANASIUS, LIKEWISE, TELLS US THAT THEY 08:16 HELD RELIGIOUS ASSEMBLIES ON THE SABBATH, NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE 08:20 INFECTED WITH JUDAISM, BUT TO WORSHIP JESUS THE LORD OF THE 08:23 SABBATH, ATHANASIUS SAYS, AT THE SAME TIME. 08:26 THIS IS WRITTEN IN THE BOOK ANTIQUITY OF THE CHRISTIAN 08:29 CHURCH AND IT GOES WAY BACK TO THE TIME OF THE EARLY CHURCH 08:31 FATHERS. SO THE IDEA THAT THE EARLY 08:34 CHRISTIANS WERE NOT KEEPING THE SABBATH, THAT'S NOT 08:37 SUPPORTED HISTORICALLY. THEY ALL KEPT THE SAME DAY. 08:41 SO WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO KEEP SOMETHING HOLY? 08:45 'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO' - DO WHAT? 08:47 >>KEEP IT HOLY. >>KEEP IT HOLY. 08:49 YOU KNOW, NOT EVERYTHING IS HOLY. 08:51 >>RIGHT. >>WE CALL THIS - WHAT'S IT SAY? 08:55 >>HOLY BIBLE. >>WHAT DOES THAT MEAN - HOLY? 08:58 HOLY MEANS 'TO HONOR AND TO DEDICATE TO RIGHTEOUS USE; TO 09:02 KEEP SOMETHING SACRED AND DESERVING OF REVERENCE' - NOT TO 09:05 PROFANE IT. IT MEANS IT'S SET ASIDE. 09:09 1 PETER CHAPTER 1, VERSES 15 AND 16 - HERE HE SAYS, "BUT AS HE 09:14 WHO CALLED YOU IS HOLY, YOU ALSO BE HOLY IN ALL OF YOUR CONDUCT" 09:20 - THAT WOULD BE PARTLY REMEMBERING THAT WHICH IS HOLY - 09:22 "IN ALL OF YOUR CONDUCT BECAUSE IT IS WRITTEN: BE HOLY FOR I AM 09:26 HOLY." HE'S QUOTING THERE FROM THE BOOK OF LEVITICUS. 09:29 GOD IS HOLY. HE MADE US IN HIS IMAGE. 09:31 ALL HAVE SINNED - HE WANTS - THE WHOLE PURPOSE OF THE PLAN OF 09:34 SALVATION IS TO RESTORE US TO THAT HOLINESS. 09:39 AND AGAIN, NOW THIS IS - YOU KNOW, IF YOU FORGET EVERYTHING 09:42 IN THE MESSAGE, THIS IS IMPORTANT: GOD IS CALLING US TO 09:46 HOLINESS. PEOPLE THINK THE SUPREME PURPOSE 09:48 OF LIFE IS OUR HAPPINESS. ACTUALLY, THE PURPOSE 09:50 OF OUR LIFE IS HOLINESS. IN HOLINESS YOU FIND HAPPINESS. 09:56 >>AMEN. >>IN SURRENDERING TO GOD'S 09:59 WILL AND LIVING AS YOU ARE HIS PROPERTY IS WHERE YOU'RE 10:02 GOING TO FIND THE GREATEST FULFILLMENT. 10:05 HEBREWS 12:14, "PURSUE PEACE WITH ALL PEOPLE, AND HOLINESS" - 10:10 NOTICE THIS - "WITHOUT WHICH NO MAN SHALL SEE THE LORD." 10:14 DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE LORD? >>YES. 10:16 >>WHO IS GOING TO SEE THE LORD WITHOUT HOLINESS? JESUS SAID, 10:20 'BLESSED ARE THE' - WHAT? - 'THE PURE IN HEART. 10:23 THEY WILL SEE GOD.' AND SO, IS THIS AN IMPORTANT SUBJECT? 10:28 AND SO WHEN GOD SAYS, 'YOU'RE HOLY PEOPLE. 10:29 I'VE GOT A HOLY DAY.' AND WE SAY, 'OH, UH' - IF YOU'RE 10:33 SERIOUS ABOUT BEING HOLY THEN YOU SHOULDN'T KICK ASIDE 10:36 SOMETHING GOD TELLS US TO REMEMBER. 10:38 >>AMEN. >>AMEN? 10:39 >>AMEN. >>AND AGAIN, ANOTHER VERSE, 2 10:41 TIMOTHY 1:8 AND 9, "...TO THE POWER OF GOD, WHO HAS SAVED 10:45 US AND CALLED US WITH A HOLY CALLING." 10:48 JESUS DOESN'T SAVE US IN OUR SIN, HE SAVES US FROM OUR SIN. 10:51 >>AMEN. >>NOW, WE COME TO HIM WITH OUR 10:53 SIN, BUT THEN HE WASHES US AND HE TEACHES US A NEW WAY 10:57 OF LIVING - IT'S CALLED SANCTIFICATION. 11:00 NOW THIS IS ONE THAT SOME PEOPLERE INTERESTED TO KNOW. 11:04 I MEET PEOPLE ALL THE TIME - I HAVE A LOT OF FRIENDS THAT GO TO 11:07 CHURCH SUNDAY EVERY WEEK AND THEY'VE SEEN MY TV BROADCASTS 11:11 AND THEY COME TO ME AND THEY SAY, 'BROTHER DOUG,' - IT'S 11:13 ALMOST LIKE THEY'RE AFRAID THEIR FRIENDS ARE GOING TO FIND OUT - 11:16 'I WANT YOU TO KNOW I AGREE WITH YOU ON THE SABBATH. 11:18 I KEEP THE SABBATH AT HOME.' - HE SAID, 'I GO TO CHURCH ON 11:21 SUNDAY BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE MY FAMILY IS AND THAT'S WHERE I 11:23 GREW UP, BUT I KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT AND I KEEP THE SABBATH AT HOME.' 11:26 I SAY, 'WELL, THAT'S WONDERFUL. I'M GLAD YOU'RE PERSUADED.' BUT 11:29 I'M THINKING TO MYSELF, PART OF SABBATHKEEPING IS CONVENING. 11:34 LOOK AT WHAT IT SAYS HERE, 'IS IT NECESSARY TO GO TO CHURCH ON 11:39 THE SABBATH?' NOW I USE THE WORD 'CHURCH' - 11:41 THEY DIDN'T USE THAT WORD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT, BUT YOU CAN READ 11:44 HERE IN LEVITICUS 23:3, IT SAYS, "SIX DAYS SHALL WORK BE DONE, 11:49 BUT THE SEVENTH DAY IS A SABBATH OF SOLEMN REST, A 11:53 HOLY CONVOCATION." NOW WHAT'S A CONVOCATION? 11:57 YES, IN THE HEBREW IT MEANS THE SAME THING AS THE TRANSLATION - 12:01 ITEANS AN ASSEMBLY - A COMING TOGETHER. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN TO 12:04 A CONVENTION? THAT'S A CONVOCATION. 12:06 THAT MEANS PEOPLE CONVENE. THEY COME TOGETHER. 12:09 I ACTUALLY HEARD A PASTOR POINT, ONE TIME, TO A VERSE THAT SAID, 12:12 'LET EVERYONE ABIDE IN HIS TENT ON THE SABBATH.' HE SAID, 12:15 'YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO STAY AT HOME IN YOUR TENT.' I SAID, 'THAT'S 12:17 NOT WHAT IT'S TALKING ABOUT.' MOSES SAID THAT BECAUSE SOMEONE 12:20 WAS GOING OUT GATHERING WOOD ON THE SABBATH DAY TO BUILD A FIRE. 12:23 HE SAID, 'DO NOT GO OUT OF THE CAMP LOOKING FOR FIREWOOD.' 12:27 THAT'S ALL HE WAS TALKING ABOUT. IT'S CALLED A HOLY CONVOCATION. 12:30 LET ME GIVE YOU A FEW MORE VERSES. 12:32 HOW ABOUT JESUS, FOR AN EXAMPLE? THEN THEY WENT TO CAPERNAUM AND 12:36 IMMEDIATELY, ON THE SABBATH DAY, HE ENTERED THE 12:38 SYNAGOGUE AND HE TAUGHT. SO THEY USED TO COME 12:42 TOGETHER ON THE SABBATH. READ THE WORD AND 12:45 STUDY THE SCRIPTURES. AND THAT BRINGS US TO OUR NEXT 12:48 THOUGHT: WHAT ARE SOME GOOD THINGS TO DO ON THE SABBATH DAY? 12:53 NOW, PEOPLE SAY, 'PASTOR DOUG, IT SAYS DON'T DO ANY WORK. WHAT 12:57 AM I SUPPOSED TO DO? JUST SIT ON MY HANDS ALL DAY 12:59 LONG?' AND PEOPLE STRUGGLE. THE SABBATH IS MEANT TO BE A 13:02 BLESSING AND JESUS SAID IT'S FOR DOING GOOD. 13:06 WHAT ARE SOME GOOD THINGS? WELL, FIRST OF ALL, WORSHIP GOD. 13:10 WE WORSHIP GOD EVERY DAY, BUT ESPECIALLY ON THE SABBATH. 13:14 SOME OF YOU REMEMBER WHEN IT SAYS IN DEUTERONOMY CHAPTER 6, 13:17 VERSES 6 AND 7. AFTER DEUTERONOMY 5 HE GIVES THE 13:21 TEN COMMANDMENTS AGAIN, YOU KNOW THAT? 13:24 MOSES THEN SAYS, IN DEUTERONOMY 6, "AND THESE WORDS WHICH I 13:28 COMMAND YOU TODAY SHALL BE IN YOUR HEART. 13:31 YOU SHALL TEACH THEM DILIGENTLY TO YOUR CHILDREN...WHEN YOU LIE 13:35 DOWN, AND WHEN YOU RISE UP." IT SAYS YOU'LL "...TALK OF THEM 13:38 WHEN YOU SIT IN YOUR HOUSE, WHEN YOU WALK BY THE WAY, WHEN YOU 13:41 LIE DOWN, AND WHEN YOU RISE UP." WHEN YOU LIE DOWN IS THE EVENING 13:45 AND WHEN YOU RISE UP IS THE MORNING AND IN OUR FAMILY NOW 13:48 ALL OF OUR KIDS ARE GONE OFF TO COLLEGE OR GROWN UP, BUT WE 13:51 ALWAYS HAD MORNING AND EVENING WORSHIP. 13:53 IF DAD WAS OUT WORKING OR IF I WAS AT A BOARD MEETING, MOM 13:57 WOULD LEAD. IN THE MORNING, WE HAVE OUR OWN 13:59 INDIVIDUAL PRAYER TIME, BUT WE HAVE FAMILY PRAYER - WE'D READ 14:02 A DEVOTIONAL OR SOMETHING, BUT ESPECIALLY SABBATH, 14:05 WHEN THE SUN GOES DOWN. WHAT A GREAT TIME TO PRAY AND 14:08 SING TOGETHER AND WELCOME THE SABBATH. 14:10 SO IT'S A GOOD TIME FOR FAMILY WORSHIP. 14:12 WHAT ELSE DO YOU DO? READ GOOD BOOKS. 14:15 HERE'S A SCRIPTURE - LUKE 4:16 - JESUS WENT TO THE SYNAGOGUE ON 14:18 THE SABBATH AND HE STOOD UP TO READ. 14:21 AND WHAT DO YOU THINK HE WAS READING? 14:23 ON THAT DAY HE WAS READING ISAIAH 61 - IT TELLS US WHAT HE 14:26 WAS READING. HE WAS READING THE BIBLE. 14:28 AND SO, THAT'S A GREAT TIME TO GET TOGETHER AND STUDY THE WORD. 14:32 ANOTHER WONDERFUL THING TO DO ON THE SABBATH - REST. 14:36 IT'S A DAY FOR SOME PHYSICAL REST. 14:40 DO YOU KNOW THAT YOUR BODY DOES NOT HEAL UNLESS IT'S RESTING? 14:46 STRENGTH DOESN'T HAPPEN DURING ACTIVITY, IT HAPPENS DURING 14:49 REST. WHEN YOU EXERCISE, YOU'RE ACTUALLY WEARING YOUR MUSCLES; 14:53 WHEN YOU STOP AND YOU REST, THEN THE MUSCLES THEN GROW. 14:56 THEY'RE GROWING DURING THE REST TIME. 14:58 IT'S DURING THE TIME OF REST WHEN YOUR BRAIN - HAVE YOU EVER 15:01 NOTICED YOU TAKE A 15-MINUTE NAP AND YOUR IQ GOES UP? 15:06 YOUR BRAIN IS SOMETHING LIKE A COMPUTER. 15:08 IT DOES SOMETHING WHEN YOU FALL ASLEEP WHERE IT REBOOTS AND 15:11 THINGS GET CLEAR. NOW, OF COURSE, THERE'S SOME OF 15:14 YOU, YOU SAY, 'I TAKE A SHORT NAP, AND I'M FUZZY THE REST OF 15:16 THE DAY.' I'M NOT THAT - IF I TAKE MY NAP, I'M A LOT SHARPER. 15:22 IT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE. EVEN IF YOU JUST LAY DOWN AND 15:24 CLOSE YOUR EYES FOR A LITTLE WHILE. 15:25 HE SAID, 'COME ASIDE' - JESUS SAID THIS TO THE DISCIPLES - 15:28 'COME ASIDE BY YOURSELVES TO A DESERTED PLACE - A PLACE IN THE 15:32 WILDERNESS - AND REST AWHILE.' NOTICE, IT WAS NICE TO 15:35 GET OUT IN NATURE ON THE SABBATH DAY. 15:39 SO, JUST AS A QUICK SUMMARY - AND I'M NOT COVERING EVERYTHING 15:41 HERE, VISIT THE SICK OR ELDERLY OR PRISONERS. 15:46 WE HAVE SOME FRIENDS, THEY HAVE A PRISON MINISTRY. 15:47 THE ONLY DAY THEY CAN REALLY GET IN IS ON SATURDAY AND THEY 15:50 TAKE SOME OF THEIR TIME AND THEY GO VISIT AND THEY GIVE BIBLE 15:53 STUDIES. INVITE SOME VISITOR OVER TO YOUR 15:56 HOME FOR A MEAL AND GET TO KNOW PEOPLE. SHARE LITERATURE. 16:00 YOU MIGHT GO OUT IN YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD AND JT KNOCK ON 16:01 DOORS AND GIVE THEM SOME - SOME BOOKS OR SOME LITERATURE. 16:04 MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE. YOU MIGHT PLAY SCRIPTURE GAMES 16:08 WITH THE KIDS BECAUSE YOU FORTIFY YOUR MIND WITH THE TRUTH 16:11 OF GOD'S WORD, IT'LL HELP YOU STAND THROUGH THE 16:13 FINAL CONFLICT. GIVE A BIBLE STUDY. 16:17 TAKE A BIBLE STUDY. GET OUT IN NATURE. 16:21 TAKE A NAP - BUT YOU DON'T WANT TO SLEEP THE WHOLE DAY AWAY. 16:25 NOW THERE'S TWO EXTREMES WHEN WE TALK ABOUT THE SABBATH AND I 16:28 ALWAYS PRAY THAT GOD'LL HELP ME TO STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE 16:31 ROAD. YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT THE BOY THAT WAS BROUGHT 16:34 TO JESUS BY HIS FATHER AND THE BOY WAS DEMON POSSESSED AND HE 16:38 SAID, 'THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO DESTROY MY SON BY THROWING HIM 16:42 IN THE FIRE AND IN THE WATER - TWO OPPOSITES. 16:45 THE DEVIL DOESN'T CARE IF YOU FALL OFF THE LEFT SIDE OF THE 16:48 ROAD OR THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD. 16:50 AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE SABBATH TRUTH YOU'VE GOT PEOPLE WHO YOU 16:52 WOULD CALL LEGALISTIC - THEY HAD THEM IN JESUS' DAY - AND THEN 16:56 YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT WOULD MAYBE BE ON THE OTHER SIDE - AND I 16:58 DON'T MEAN TO POINT TO THIS GROUP - AND CALL THEM LIBERALS. 17:00 AND SO Y'VE GOT TWO EXTREMES. SOME PEOPLE THEY JUST DISREGARD, 17:04 THEY PROFANE THE SABBATH AND OTHERS ARE SO STRINGENT 17:07 THAT THEY MAKE IT A BURDEN. AND JESUS HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS. 17:11 CHRIST HAD A NUMBER OF SABBATH CONFLICTS THAT ARE WRITTEN IN 17:14 THE GOSPELS, BUT YOU'LL NOTICE, HE NEVER SAID THEY SHOULDN'T 17:18 KEEP IT; HE TOLD THEM HOW TO KEEP IT. 17:22 THEY HAD PUT A BUNCH OF MAN-MADE RULES ON THE SABBATH. 17:25 FOR INSTANCE, THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT A SABBATH DAY'S JOURNEY. 17:30 HOW LONG CAN YOU HIKE BEFORE IT TURNS FROM A PLEASANT WALK INTO 17:34 WORK? AND SO THE PHARISEES WENT 17:36 THROUGH ALL THEIR CALCULATIONS AND THEY CAME UP WITH WHAT THEY 17:40 THOUGHT THAT DISTANCE WOULD BE AND THEY ENDED UP - THEY GOT A 17:42 BALL OF YARN AND THEY SAID, 'IF YOU'RE GOING TO GO SOMEWHERE ON 17:44 SABBATH, YOU'D BETTER MEASURE IT OFF FIRST.' AND THEY'D UNROLL 17:46 THIS 'KITE STRING' BETWEEN HOUSES 17:49 AND SAY, 'OH, YOU GET TO - I'M ONLY TEN FEET AWAY BUT IT'S 17:51 BEYOND A SABBATH'S JOURNEY SO, SORRY I CAN'T MAKE IT.' AND 17:53 THEY'D GO BACK. OR THEY SAID, 'WHAT BECOMES A BURDEN? 17:57 YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO CARRY A BURDEN. WHAT'S A BURDEN? 17:59 AND SO THEY SAID, 'WELL, IF YOU CARRY A HANDKERCHIEF, 18:01 TECHNICALLY IT'S A BURDEN; BUT IF YOU SEW IT TO YOUR COLLAR AND 18:05 YOU JUST BLOW YOUR NOSE IN IT, THEN IT'S PART OF YOUR CLOTHES.' 18:08 SO IT'S JUST, YOU KNOW, KIND OF FANATICAL LUNACY - LEGALISTIC 18:13 LUNACY. AND SO THERE'S THAT SIDE OF IT. 18:16 BUT, YOU KNOW, IF YOU DON'T HAVE SOME GUIDELINES, YOU END UP 18:19 FALLING ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE NOTHING MATTERS 18:22 ANYMORE AND NO ONE HAS ANY IDEA HOW TO KEEP IT HOLY BECAUSE AS 18:25 SOON AS YOU TALK ABOUT THE PARTICULARS ABOUT HOW TO KEEP A 18:28 DAY HOLY, YOU'LL BE ACCUSED OF LEGALISM, AND YOU CAN JUST COUNT 18:32 ON THAT. SO THERE'S TWO EXTREMES. I'LL DO MY BEST TO TRY 18:36 AND GIVE YOU SCRIPTURE. AM I GIVING YOU BIBLE FOR THESE 18:38 DIFFERENT PRINCIPLES, FRIENDS? >>AMEN. 18:40 >>WHAT ACTIVITIES SHOULD BE AVOIDED ON THE SABBATH? 18:45 WELL, THERE'S NO PARTICULAR ORDER HERE, BUT I STARTED WITH 18:48 WHAT YOU'D CALL UNNECESSARY COOKING. 18:51 NOW THIS COMES FROM WHEN GOD WOULD RAIN MANNA DOWN FROM 18:53 HEAVEN FOR THEM. SIX DAYS A WEEK HE GAVE THEM MANNA. 18:59 HE SAID, 'IF YOU TRY TO KEEP THE MANNA OVERNIGHT, EVERY OTHER DAY 19:04 IT'S GOING TO BREED WORMS AND STINK - EXCEPT FRIDAY, THE SIXTH 19:07 DAY - GATHER TWICE AS MUCH BECAUSE I'LL WORK A MIRACLE ON 19:11 YOUR MANNA AND IT WILL BE FRESH SABBATH MORNING SO YOU 19:14 DON'T HAVE TO GO OUT AND GATHER IT. 19:17 AND GOD SAID, IN EXODUS 16:23, "THIS IS WHAT THE LORD HAS SAID: 19:22 'TOMORROW IS A SABBATH REST...BAKE WHAT YOU WILL BAKE 19:27 TODAY, AND BOIL WHAT YOU WILL BOIL" - SO THAT THEY WOULDN'T 19:31 HAVE TO DO IT. NOW WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? 19:33 DOES GOD WANT US TO EAT JUST, YOU KNOW, MICROWAVE FOOD? 19:38 NO, JUST THE IDEA OF THE SABBATH IS TO GET EVERYTHING DONE THAT 19:43 YOU CAN IN ADVANCE SO THAT YOU HAVE AS MUCH RELAXED, RESTED 19:47 TIME. YOU MIGHT THINK I'M A FANATIC, BUT ON SABBATH - ON 19:50 FRIDAY, AS I'M GETTING READY FOR THE SABBATH, I LOOK IN THE 19:53 CLOSET AND SAY, 'WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR TOMORROW? 19:55 DO I HAVE A SHIRT? ARE MY SHOES SHINED? 19:58 I SHINE MY SHOES - LEARNED IN MILITARY SCHOOL - AND SO I SHINE 20:02 MY SHOES, I GET THEM ALL READY, I SAY, 'OKAY, YOU KNOW, GOT IT.' 20:04 SO I DON'T HAVE TO - I'M NOT SCRAMBLING AROUND BEFORE I GO TO 20:07 CHURCH SAYING, 'OH, WHAT AM I GOING TO WEAR?' 20:09 - IT JUST CREATES STRESS. YOU WANT TO HAVE PEACE 20:11 IN THE HOME, AMEN? AND SO YOU PREPARE. 20:15 AND IF YOU - IF YOU'RE ONLY GOING TO SEE SOMEONE YOU LOVE IN 20:19 A SPECIAL WAY ONCE A WEEK - IF YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE QUALITY 20:21 TIME WITH THEM ONCE A WEEK AND YOU GET THIS DATE, YOU WOULD 20:24 INVEST SOME TIME IN PLANNING SO IT'S SPECIAL. TRY IT SOMETIME. 20:30 IF YOU'RE DATING YOUR GIRLFRIEND AND WHEN YOU GO OUT TO DINNER 20:33 YOU'RE TAKING - OR YOUR WIFE - COMING FROM THE FRONT GALLERY - 20:37 (LAUGHTER) AND YOU'RE TAKING PHONE CALLS AND YOU'RE SURFING 20:41 THE INTERNET AND YOU'RE DOING ALL THESE THINGS WHILE YOU'RE 20:43 OUT AT A NICE RESTAURANT, HOW IS THAT RECEIVED? 20:46 THAT DOESN'T GO OVER VERY WELL. 'TALK TO ME. 20:50 COMMUNICATE WITH ME. QUALITY TIME.' 'OH, BUT I'VE GOT 20:51 THIS WORK TO DO.' YOU SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN IT DONE FIRST. 20:55 IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE. DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? 20:57 THIS IS WHAT THE LORD'S TELLING US. 20:59 WHAT ABOUT SHOPPING? WELL, YOU CAN READ IN THE BIBLE, 21:04 NEHEMIAH 10:31, "IF THE PEOPLES OF THE LAND BROUGHT WARES OR ANY 21:08 GRAIN TO SELL ON THE SABBATH DAY, WE WOULD NOT BUY IT FROM 21:12 THEM ON THE SABBATH" - IT'S NOT A DAY FOR BUYING AND SELLING. 21:16 IN OUR FAMILY, WE GET THE GROCERIES, I FILL THE CARS WITH 21:19 GAS THURSDAY OR FRIDAY - WE GET IT ALL OUT OF THE WAY. 21:21 WE DON'T GO TO STORES. YOU KNOW ONE REASON? 21:23 IT SAYS YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO REST, YOUR MANSERVANT, AND YOUR 21:27 MAIDSERVANT. I'M NOT GOING TO HIRE OTHER 21:29 PEOPLE TO WORK FOR ME IN SOME - NOW SOMEONE'S GOING TO SAY, 21:33 'PASTOR DOUG, DO YOU USE YOUR PHONE ON SABBATH?' 21:37 'YEAH.' 'DO YOU KNOW THERE'S PEOPLE WORKING IN THE PHONE 21:39 COMPANY?' I SAID, 'I CAN'T CONTROL THAT, 21:43 BUT I DON'T HAVE TO GO TO THE GAS STATION, I DON'T HAVE TO GO 21:45 TO A RESTAURANT AND HIRE SOMEONE TO COOK MY FOOD FOR ME. 21:49 IF I WOULD REMEMBER THE SABBATH AND PLAN, I'LL COOK MY OWN FOOD 21:51 SO I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE - THE HOTEL WHERE I'M STAYING, I 21:55 USUALLY PUT OUT THE DO NOT DISTURB SIGN AND LET THAT MAID 21:58 TAKE MY DAY OFF FOR MY ROOM. AND I'VE USUALLY GOT 22:03 EVERYTHING I NEED. AND SO, JUST LET PEOPLE REST. 22:07 PLAN AHEAD. 'NO, YOU'RE NOT GOING TO THE 22:08 MALL AND YOU'RE LOOKING AT ALL THOSE SPECIALS AND 22:12 THINKING ABOUT JESUS. PROBABLY NOT. 22:14 (LAUGHTER) SO THE IDEA IS, YOU KNOW, YOU'RE DOING THINGS THAT 22:17 ARE NOT HOLY. WHAT ABOUT ENTERTAINMENT? 22:22 PEOPLE WATCHING AMERICAN IDOL ON SABBATH. 22:26 NOW THAT JUST DOESN'T - I MEAN IDOL AND SABBATH DON'T GO 22:28 TOGETHER, DO THEY? WATCHING THE BACHELOR - ONLY BATCHELOR YOU 22:32 SHOULD BE WATCHING IS PASTOR BATCHELOR - ON SABBATH. AMEN? 22:35 (LAUGHTER) NOW WE HAVE CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. 22:39 WE PRAISE THE LORD, 3ABN IS WORKING WITH US ON THIS PROGRAM 22:41 24 HOURS A DAY THEY'RE BROADCASTING. SO IF YOU'VE GOT 22:45 CHRISTIAN PROGRAMMING ON AND THAT'S LIKE READING THE BIBLE, 22:47 IT'S SPIRITUAL INFORMATION, THAT'S A GOOD THING. 22:50 YOUR EYES NEED A SALVE AND SOME, YOU KNOW, EVEN IN WALL STREET 22:55 THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT TAKING A TECHNOLOGY SABBATH BECAUSE THEY 22:58 SEE THAT THE PEOPLE ARE GETTING BURNT OUT BEING CONSTANTLY 23:01 ACCEIBLE THROUGH THEIR E-MAIL AND THEIR LAPTOPS AND IT'S JUST 23:04 DRAINING - AND IT'S AFFECTING FAMILIES. 23:07 'IF YOU TURN AWAY YOUR FOOT FROM THE SABBATH' - FROM DOING YOUR 23:11 PLEASURE ON MY HOLY DAY - 'AND IF YOU CALL THE SABBATH A 23:15 DELIGHT' - NOTICE WHAT HE SAYS, 'THE HOLY OF THE LORD HONORABLE 23:19 AND YOU'LL HONOR HIM.' WHY ARE WE DOING IT? 23:22 HONORING GOD. 'NOT DOING YOUR OWN WAYS OR 23:26 FINDING YOUR OWN PLEASURE OR SPEAKING YOUR OWN WORDS' - I 23:29 FIND I - YOU KNOW, I EVEN TRY TO CONTROL WHAT I'M THINKING ABOUT. 23:33 IT'S NOT ALWAYS EASY, BECAUSE IF YOU'RE A WORKAHOLIC LIKE ME, YOU 23:36 KNOW, I WALK AROUND THE HOUSE AND I'M THINKING, 'OH I'VE GOT 23:38 TO FIX THAT.' AND IT'S SABBATH - 'NO, NO, DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT 23:40 NOW.' AND YOU'LL SEE PEOPLE WILL BE IN THE CHURCH AND THEY'RE 23:42 SAYING, 'OH, YEAH, I'VE GOT TO PUT THIS NEW ADDITION ON MY 23:45 GARAGE AND I'VE GOT TO FIX. THEY SHOULDN'T BE TALKING ABOUT 23:48 THAT KIND OF STUFF ON SABBATH. TALK ABOUT SPIRITUAL THINGS. 23:51 IT'S ALMOST LIKE YOU WISH THE SABBATH WAS OVER SO YOU COULD 23:53 FIX YOUR GARAGE. AND SO, THE LORD SAYS 23:57 IT'S A DAY THAT'S SACRED. AND, YOU KNOW WHAT? 24:00 IT'S SOMETHING THAT YOU NEED TO INVEST TIME IN THINKING OUT 24:03 IT, BUT I BELIEVE GOD IS WORTH IT. 24:04 >>AMEN. >>I THINK GOD IS WORTH 24:07 HONORING THAT WAY. "THUS SAYS THE LORD, TAKE HEED 24:11 TO YOURSELVES AND BEAR NO BURDEN" - JEREMIAH 17:21 - "ON 24:14 THE SABBATH DAY, NOR BRING IT BY THE GATES OF JERUSALEM; NOR 24:20 CARRY A BURDEN OUT OF YOUR HOUSES ON THE SABBATH DAY, NOR 24:23 DO ANY WORK, BUT HALLOW THE SABBATH DAY." 24:26 I HEARD A STORY ABOUT ONE MAN YEARS AGO THAT HE HAD 24:29 A BANANA PLANTATION IN CENTRAL AMERICA. HE WAS A SABBATH KEEPER 24:33 AND THEY HAVE SEASONS WHEN THEY BRING ALL THEIR BANANAS DOWN TO 24:36 THE DOCK AND THEY PUT THEM ON WHAT WE CALL BANANA BOATS - 24:39 THERE REALLY ARE BANANA BOATS - BECAUSE THEY'VE GOT TO GET - 24:42 BANANAS HAVE A SHORT LIFE-SPAN, YOU KNOW THAT. 24:44 THEY'VE GOT TO GET THEM DIRECTLY TO PORT AND IT TURNS OUT THAT A 24:49 STORM WAS COMING IN AND ALL THE SHIPS WERE COMING IN FRIDAY TO 24:52 GET LOADED, BUT IN ORDER FOR THIS MAN TO DO IT - THEY WERE 24:55 COMING IN SATURDAY - HE WAS GOING TO HAVE TO WORK NOT ONLY 24:57 FRIDAY, BUT ON THE SABBATH AND HE SAID, 'I CAN'T DO THAT.' 24:59 HIS NEIGHBORS SAID, 'YOU'RE GOING TO MISS THE SEASON. 25:01 YOUR CROP IS GOING TO FAIL. 25:02 YOU'RE GOING TO GO BROKE.' - HE SAYS, 'GOD'LL UNDERSTAND. 25:05 YOU'VE GOT TO WORK.' HE SAID, 'I CAN'T DO IT. 25:07 I'M NOT GOING TO DO IT, IT'S THE SABBATH. 25:10 GOD SAID NO HARVESTING, NO REAPING' - AND SO THEY ALL - ALL 25:15 HIS NEIGHBORS THAT WERE NOT SABBATH KEEPERS, THEY HARVESTED 25:18 THEIR BANANAS AND THEY TOOK THEM DOWN TO THE DOCK AND ALL THE 25:20 SHIPS LEFT PORT TRYING TO BEAT THIS STORM. 25:22 WELL, AFTER THE STORM CAME AND WENT OUT, THIS OTHER SHIP CAME 25:26 LIMPING IN BECAUSE ITS ENGINE HAD DIED EN ROUTE AND THEY SAID, 25:30 'WE'RE HERE TO BUY BANANAS.' AND ALL THE OTHER FARMERS SAID, 25:33 'WELL, WE SOLD - THERE'S NO BANANAS LEFT.' HE SAID, 'I'LL 25:35 PAY TWENTY PERCENT MORE. DOES ANYONE HAVE 25:36 ANY BANANAS LEFT?' DIDN'T WANT TO GO BACK EMPTY. 25:41 SO THIS GUY ENDED UP GETTING DOUBLY BLESSED BY HONORING - 25:43 GOD'LL BLESS YOU - AND, YOU KNOW WHAT, FRIENDS? 25:46 HE WANTS YOU TO HAVE THAT BLESSING. 25:49 HE WANT YOU TO HAVE THAT EXPERIENCE. 25:51 NOW SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, PASTOR DOUG, I'M NOT SURE ABOUT 25:54 THE SABBATH BECAUSE MY SPIRIT IS TELLING ME THAT IT'S NOT 25:58 IMPORTANT. MY SPIRIT IS TELLING ME IT'S 26:01 ANOTHER DAY.' THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS NEVER GOING TO TELL YOU 26:04 SOMETHING DIFFERENT THAN THE WORD OF GOD. 26:07 YEAH, YOU MIGHT QUESTION WHAT SPIRIT IS TALKING TO YOU. 26:10 THE WORD OF GOD AND THE SPIRIT OF GOD GO TOGETHER AND GOD'S 26:13 WORD IS EXTREMELY CLEAR THAT HE'S BLESSED A DAY FOR YOU TO 26:18 RECEIVE THIS BLESSING, FRIENDS. HE WANTS YOU TO ENJOY IT. 26:21 HE SAYS, 'YOU KEEP IT HOLY AND HONOR IT AND HE'LL MAKE YOU 26:25 RIDE UPON THE HIGH PLACES OF THE EARTH AND HE WILL BLESS YOU. 26:29 WOULD YOU LIKE TO EXPERIENCE THAT BLESSING, FRIENDS? 26:32 >>STAY TUNED.
