LITTLE BY LITTLE BY LITTLE 10:34 IT IS TRUE THAT MOST PEOPLE, AND I'M AFRAID IN OUR COUNTRY OF AMERICA 10:41 WHWHH WEWEF COURSE A AREREATE,E,OST PEOPLE ARE VERY Y RAID. 10:46 IN MY Y NEHBORHOOD R RHT NOW I DISCSCOV A A I SEE PEOPLE WALKING AROUND IN 10:53 THE AFTERNOON FOFO THTHR WAWAS AND THEY ARE COVERED. 10:58 SO WHAT ISISY ROLE NOW? 10:59 TO BE A GOOD NEIGHBOR TO MY MUSLIM FRIENDS. 11:01 I NEED TO GO AND FIND OUT WHERE THEY LIVE AND GO VISIT THEM AND LET THEM 11:03 KNOW THAT IF THERE IS ANY PROBLEM AT ANY T TE THEY HAVE A A IEND IN THE 11:14 NEIGHBORHOOD. 11:15 REGRETFULLY, AND WE ARE HAVING OUR VISIT HERE IN THE GOSPEL OUTREACH STUDIO 11:24 IN OCTOBER OF 2013. 11:26 I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE WORLD WILL BE LIKE WHEN THIS PROGRAM ULTIMATELY 11:32 AIAI, BUT THE WORLD IN WHICH WEWEIND D RSELVES UP TITINOW IS A FRIGHTENING 11:38 WORLD. 11:42 WE DON'T KNOW WHERE THERE'S GOING TO BE A BOMBING OR A TERROR 11:48 ATATCK. 11:49 IT'S SO DIFFICULT FOR US TO COMPREHEND THAT ANYTHING LIKE THAT CAN 11:58 HAPPEN WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE BY IDENTITY WALKING WITH GOD, BY NAME IDENTITY ANY 12:09 WAY. 12:11 SO WE SOMEHOW NEED TO, WELL I'LL JUST TUCK IN. 12:21 I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF SITTING WITH SOME MUSLIMS AND LEARNED THAT THE 12:30 MISSION OF ISLAM IS PEACE IN THE WORLD TAUGHT IN THE KORAN. 12:47 EACH OTHER, TRUST EACHION OTHER, LEARN FROM EACHR OTHER, ACCEPT EACH OTHER.W 12:53 I I INK YOYOARE RIGHTT AT WE CAN FIND LOTS S EVEVENCECE TT ISLAM M A 13:01 RELIGION OF PEACE. 13:10 ALSO PASSAGES ININTHE E RAN THT. AND IT IS WHAT WE STRUGGLE WITH, BECAUSE THERE ARE 13:16 THE WAY THAT I HAVE COME TOTORIPS WITH THIS REALITY IS TO RECOGNIZE THAT IF WE 13:26 LOOK AT THE BIBLE WE WILL FIND IDENTICAL KINDS OF ISSUES WHERE GOD HAS SAID 13:34 IT'S TIME FOR A TIME OF JUDGMENT. 13:37 SO I THINK THAT WE NEED TO HELP PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND THATATES, IN EVERY 13:43 RELIGION T THE M M BEE ME TIMES WHEN VIOLENCE HAPPENS OR GOD EVEN 13:49 DICTS S OLENCE. 13:51 BUT WITH THE SITUATION WITH ISLAM IT'S A VERY OVERWHELMINGLY HIGH 13:59 PERCENTAGE, LIKE IN THE 80 OR 90 PERCENT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE PEACACLOLONG 14:06 BELIEVERS WALKING WITH GOD. 14:08 BUT THERE IS A SMALL PERCENTAGE DANANTHE PROBLEM IS THAT THERE IS A 14:10 SMALL PERCENTAGE BUT WHEN YOU HAVAVA SMALL RCENTAGE OF SUCH A LARGE 14:16 OUP OF PEOPLE THEREEARE A LOLOPE 14:16 WOULD CALL ISLAMISTS OR 14:22 FUNDAMENENLISTS OR PEOPLE WHO UNUNRTUNATELY DO NOTOTRERELM 14:29 WELLLL 14:30 BUT YOU WOULD ALSO SAY, I THINK, IN APPEALING TO ME AND TO OUR VIEWERS WE 14:36 SHOULD NOT GENERALIZE ALL MUSLIMS AS THAT WAY, THE SMALLELEPERCENTAGE. 14:42 THATATS MY PRAYER. 14:43 AND HERE IS HOW I WOULD SAY IT. 14:51 SAW IN IRELAND, LET'S GIVE AN EXAMPLELEOR RWANDA ORE A FEW OTHER PLACESESOR T T 14:59 CRUSADES, A FEW OTHER PLACES WHERE WE HAVE HORRIBLE EXAMPLES OF WHAT 15:05 CHRISTIANITY SHOULD NOT BE, I WOULD HOPE THAT ALL CHRISTIANITY WOULD NOT BE 15:09 JUDGEDEDN THOSE THINGS THAT HAVE HAPPENED. 15:14 THEY HAVE HAPPENEN. 15:15 THEY'RE BAD. 15:17 BUT LETS JUST RECOGNIZE THAT THE SAME STANDARD SHOULD BE APPLIED TO THE 15:22 MUMUIM WORLD. 15:24 LET'S NOT JUST JUDGE ALL MUSLIMS AND PUT THEM ALL INTO ONE BAG AND SAY THESE 15:29 ARE ALL JUST A BUNCH OF TERRORIRIS. 15:32 YOU KNOW THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT'S THEIR ATTITUDE. 15:34 THEY JUST BELIEVE THAT ISLAM IS A RELIGION, IT'S NOT A GOOD RELIGION, THEY 15:39 ARE E T WALKING WITH GOD. 15:41 I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND THAT A MUSLIM BELIEVER IS WALKING WITH THE GOD WHO 15:50 CREATED THE WORLD. 15:54 THE GOD, THE FATHER OF ABRAHAM AND MANY OTHER OF THE PROPHETS THAT WE WILL 15:59 FIND IN THE KORAN AND IN T T BIBLE SCRIPTURES. 16:03 AT DO YOU,U,S A FOLLOWOW OF GOD, HAVE THAT YOU CAN SHARE WITH A MUSLIM THAT 16:15 ENCOURAGES THEM AND SUPPORTS THEM AND STRENGTHENS THEM IN THEIR 16:20 WALK W WH GOD? 16:23 THERE ARE SEVERAL THINGS. 16:25 YOU KNOW BECAUSE GOSPEL OUTREACH IS ASSOCIATED WITH ADVENTIST BELIEVERS 16:31 AROUND THE WOROR WE HAVE A NUMBMB OF THINGS THAT WE DISCOVEVEWE H HE IN 16:36 COMMON. 16:38 WE AVOID THE FORBIDDEN THINGS SUCH AS ALCOHOL, AND PORK AND SOME OF THESE 16:42 THINGSGSHAT ARE CLEARLY NOT T LOWED. 16:45 WE HAVE THINGS IN COMMON. 16:54 BUT WHAT I FIND IS MANY FOUND D REY FOR THE TO DAY OF JUDGMENT. THE HOPETHATATE 16:59 WE ADVENTISTS ALSO ARE WALKING WITH GOD IN THE HOPE THAT WE WILL BE FOUND 17:06 READY TO FACE THTHEDAY OF JUDGM. 17:09 MUSLIMS ALSO LOOK FOR THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. 17:14 AND ADVENTISTS BY OUR VERY NAME LOOK F F THE SECOND COMING OF JESUS. 17:18 WHAT WE DISCOVER IN N E KORAN IS THAT JESUS, HE IS CALLEDEDSA IN THE KORAN, 17:25 IS THE KEY PERSON, THTHKEY Y GUGU. 17:29 WHAT WE FIND THAT ISA OR JESUS HAS DONE IS TO BRIDGE THE GAP. 17:35 HE HASASROUGUG PEAEA. 17:38 HE IS REPRESENTING A PART OF GOD IN BRINGING A REDEMPTION FACTOR SO THAT 17:45 HE TAKES OUR PLACECEO THAT 17:45 INSTEAD OF W WDERIRI ABOBO THTHJUDGDGNT WE ARE SURE 17:51 ABOUT THE JUDGMENT. 17:53 THIS IS THE GOOD NEWS THAT MUSLIMS REALLY ARE LOOKING FOR. 17:57 THEY ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING THAT SAYS YES,I CACAFACECEUDGMENT UNAFRAID 18:03 BECAUSE ISA A S DONE SOMETETNG. 18:06 CAN WE, CAN YOU THEN APPROACH THE MUSLIM WALKING WITH GOD AND SAY 18:16 I'VE GOT GOOD NEWS FOR YOU? 18:18 ABSOLUTELY. 18:19 ABSOLUTELY. 18:21 AND IT'S NOT AN INSTANTANEOUS THING, BUT IF WE START LOOKING 18:25 THROUGH THE KOKON WE ND THAT ISA PLAYS SO PROMINENTLY. 18:29 HE IS THE LIFE GIVER. 18:31 HE IS THE RESURRECTION. 18:33 HE IS ISA AL MASIH. 18:34 HE IS THE MESSIAH. 18:36 THESE ARE ALL REFERENCES TO ISA. 18:38 AS WE START TO LOOK AT WHAT THE KORAN REALLY SAYS ABOUT ISIS WE FIND THAT HE 18:56 HAS A VERY, VERY SPECIAL ROLE THAT HE HAS IN PEOPLE OF THE WORLD.THE 18:57 HE CAME THROUGH THE VIRGIN BIRTH. 18:59 THE KORAN DESCRIBES FULLY THE VERY HIGH POSITION THAT MIRIAM HAS, HIS 19:07 MOTHTH. 19:10 SO YOU CAN BEGIN WITH THE COMMON RESOURCE OF THE KORAN. 19:22 IS IT THEN A SHORT OR A VERY LONG STEP TO THE PRINCIPLES IN THE BIBLE 19:31 THAT WERE THE BASIS OF WHAT WAS LATER WRITTEN IN THE KORAN? 19:37 RECOGNIZE THAT THE KORAN IS SEEN AS BEING GIVEN BY GOD DIRECTLY Y A 19:44 REVELATION. 19:47 IF WE WERE GOING TO MAKE A COMPARISON, PERHAPS WE WOULD SEE IN THE CHRISTIAN 19:55 WORLD JESUS AS THE REVELATION OF GOD. 20:00 SO THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONONWHY THE HOLY KORAN ISISEVERED SO MUCH. 20:06 ITITS GOGOSPEAKING. 20:10 NOW THE KORAN, IT'S VERY INTERESTING, IT'S FASCINATING. 20:14 'S NOT ALWLWS A SHORT JOURNEY BETWEEN N E TWTW 20:18 ITITHOULULBE BUT IT'S NOT BECACAE IN MANY PLACES SOME PEOPLPLE VEVEORT OF 20:31 THTH IF F U HAHAEY HAVE QUQUTIONONTHATATOU C CSULT WITHTHEOPLE OF THE BOOK. 20:37 THAT IS PEOPLE OF THE 20:37 SCRIRIURES, , T TS BOOK. 20:42 SO IT'S ACTUALLY VERY CLEAR THAT THE KORAN AND THE BIBLE NEED NOT BE E EN 20:50 AS IN OPPOSITION TO ONE ANOTHER. 20:52 DOES THE AVERAGE MUSLIM KNOW THAT? 20:57 NO. 20:59 IN FACT, MANY OF THE COUNTRIES THAT HAVE BECOME KIND OF KNOWN AS 21:08 FUNDAMENTALIST COUNTRIES OR COUNTRIES THAT ARE DIFFICULT OR HAVE VERY 21:11 LILILE F FEDOM FOR CHRISTIANS TO OPERATE, BIBLES ARE OFTENENVEN 21:18 FORBIDDEN. 21:19 BECAUSE IT IS SEEN AS THE ENEMY TO ISLAM SOMEHOW. 21:24 BUT IN FACT T ERE IS SOSOUCH IN COMMON. 21:26 YOU KNOW, THE CREATOR GOD. 21:29 YOU KNOW WHAT WE REALLY OUGHT TO THINK ABOUT DOING MIKE. 21:34 WE OUGHT TO THINK ABOUTTDOING AD 21:34 KIND OF OPEN A KORAN AND 21:42 LOOK AT THESE IDENTITIES THAT YOU HAVE E FERENCED ABOUT JESUS AND THE SECOCO 21:49 COMING A A JESUS AND 21:49 THE VIRGIN BIRTH. 21:51 THOSE KINDS OF THINGS. 21:56 I HAVE A KORAN. 22:00 IT IS AN ENGLISH TRANSLATION WHICH I'M QUICKLY TOLD CAN'T BE 22:04 GOOD. 22:05 WELL, IT'S NOT A MATTER OF WHETHER IT'S GOOD OR BAD IT'S JUST THAT IT'S NOT 22:09 THTHKORAN. 22:10 YES. 22:11 BECAUSE THE KORAN IS THE ARABIC KORAN. 22:13 AND IT CAN'T BE TRANSLATED. 22:15 IT'S A REPRESENTATION. 22:16 IT'S AN ATTEMPT BY THE PERSON TO TRANSLATE IT, BUT IT'S NOT THE ACTUAL 22:22 KORAN. 22:27 BUT CERTAINLY PEOPLE MUST USE THE KORAN FOR THEIR HELP.GES.IT'S TRANSLAD 22:30 THE LARGEST ISLAMIC COUNTRY IN THE WORLD ISSINDONESS 22:36 DON'T GENERALLY READ ARABIC OR SPEAK ARABIC. 22:40 SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO RELY ON THE KORAN SOMEHOW PUT INTO THEIR LANGUAGES. 22:54 ABOUT SCHEDULING HERE ORIS WHATEVER, BUT WE NEED TO DO A KIND OF ELEMENTARYNOW 23:02 ININODUCUCON T TTHE E RANNFOR RR 23:02 VIEWEWS SO THAT WE ALL 23:08 HAVE A D DFERENT PERSPECTCTE ABABT THIS. 23:11 WE WANANTO HAVE A PERSPECTIVE THAT SAYS GOD ALL ABOUT CALLING HIS 23:17 PEOPLE ALL ACROSOS THTHWORLD TOGETHER. 23:21 WE'VE GOT THREE AND A HALF MINUTES. 23:23 I WAWA TO MAKE SURE THAT WE BRING AN APPEAL THAT YOU'VE JUST TOLD ME A 23:39 TO THEHEUSLIMS WHEN THEY UNDERSTAND THAHAIT IS ALSO GOD'S MESSAGE TOTOEOPLE.E 23:47 EXACTLY. 23:48 IN FACT, THE KORAN HAS A FASCINATING PASSAGE WHERE IT MENTIONS THAT THE SAME 23:55 LOLORDHO HAS GIVEN US THE REVELATION, THE REVELATION OF THE KORAN, HAS ALSO 24:01 GIVEN THE REVELALAON 24:01 THE OTHERER 24:10 WHERE E 'RE ESPECICILY INTERESTED RIGHT NOW IT'T' BECOME POSSIBLE FOFOTWENTY 24:16 SOMEMEHOUSUSD BIBLES, IN A ABIC, TO BE USED. 24:20 ALL ACROSS THIS COUNTRY PEOPLE FROM THE MUSLIM BACKGROUND ARE JUST 24:26 BEGGING TO BE ABLE TOTOAVE THE BIBLES TO WORK WITH THEIR KORANS. 24:41 WE HAVE VARIOUOUPEOPLE HERE AND THERE AROUND THE BIBLE SCRIPTURES.RINING E 24:43 THEY ARE SITTING DOWN TOGETHER. 24:46 THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE BIBLE. 24:47 THEY ARE LOOKING AT THE KORAN. 24:49 BUT OF PARTICULAR NEED RIGHT NOW IS TO HAVE A VEHICLE E BE ABLE TO GET 24:55 AROUND. 24:56 I'VE GOT TO SPEED THIS ALONG. 24:58 YOU'VE GOT TO WIND IT UP I KNOW, YOUR TIME IS UP. 25:15 OF TWENTY-FOUR THOUSAND BIBLES THAT ARE AVAILALAE THAT'S CORRECT.EACH.ILITY 25:16 THAT'S A WHOLE MIRACLE STORY IN ITSELF. 25:19 IT IS. 25:21 TO DISTRIBUTE THESE BIBLES THERE ARE YOUNG MEN WHO ARE STANDING BY TO START 25:27 ON A JOURNEY TO DISTRIBUTE THESE BIBLES SO THEY CAN BE READ ALONG BESIDE THE 25:32 KORAN,N,ND THEY NEED A FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE THAT CAN TRAVERSE 25:39 UNCHARTED TERRRRORY TO FIND THE VILLAGES, THE ENCACAMENTS AND SO FORTH. 25:44 THEY DO. 25:45 SO IN ROUND FIGURES, 24 THOUSAND PLUS 35 THOUSAND. 25:49 MORE LIKE E THOUSAND. 25:53 OKAY, 60 THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR BIBLES, THOUSANDS OF THEM TO GO INTO THAT PART 25:59 OFOFHE WORLD. 26:01 THESE YOUNG MEN HAVE BEEN CALLED OF GOD, THEY ARE READY AND THEY NEED A 26:07 GOGOEL OUTREACH WILL BE THE CHANNEL TO BROTHER MIKE AND THESE WORKERS WHO 26:14 HAVE FRONT LINE OPPORTRTITIES TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN. 26:19 WELLLLGOD IS THE ONE WHO IS MAKING IT HAPPEN. 26:21 HE IS ABSOLUTELY. 26:22 HE'S ON HIS THRONE. 26:24 AND HE CAN WORK UPON YOUR HEART, OUR HEARTS, ALL OF US TOGETHER. 26:27 PLEASE PRAY THAT GOSPEL OUOUEAEA SUPUPRTERS, SUPPORTERS THAT YOU ARE 26:32 ABABLEO O ET IN OTHER 26:32 PLPLES W WL BE ABLE TO ACHIEVE THIS OBJECTITI. 26:36 THIS IS AN AWESOSOMEOPPORTUNITYT 26:36 SHOULD NOT BE MISSED. 26:40 THINK YOU AGREE WITH THAT. 26:44 YOU'VE S SEEN L THE INFORMATION ABOUT GOSPEL OUTREACH. 26:46 YOU U OW H H TO BE IN TOUCH. 26:48 PLEASE DO THAT SOON 26:48 WITH THIS PARTICULAR NEED BURNING IN YOUOUHEART AND 26:54 SOUL. 26:55 THANK YOU GOD FOR WHAT YOU'LL DO AND I WILL SEE YOU NEXT TIME. 27:07 [CLOSING MUSIC]. 27:11 I NEED TO SPREAD THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME. 27:18 WHERE IS THE 10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
