[OPENING MUSIC].
00:00:00.50\00:00:15.18
HI THERE.
00:00:15.21\00:00:15.84
I'M DICK DUERKSEN.
00:00:15.88\00:00:17.21
WELCOME TO GOSPEL OUTREACH
AND OUR PROGRAM ADVENTURES IN
00:00:17.25\00:00:21.12
MISSIONS. AND TODAY ONCE AGAIN
I'M PRIVILEGED TO HAVE MARTY
00:00:21.15\00:00:24.35
WITH ME. MAN.
00:00:24.39\00:00:25.35
YOU'VE SEEN A LOT OF ME.
00:00:25.39\00:00:26.86
I HAVE BUT YOU KNOW EVERY TIME
IT'S A CHALLENGE AND A NEW BIT
00:00:26.89\00:00:31.66
OF INFORMATION THAT'S
BRAND NEW TO ME FOR SOME REASON.
00:00:31.69\00:00:33.43
WHAT ARE YOU GOING
TO TALK ABOUT TODAY?
00:00:33.46\00:00:36.20
I DON'T KNOW.
00:00:36.23\00:00:37.67
I WAS THINKING MAYBE WE COULD
TALK ABOUT SOME STORIES TO SEE
00:00:37.70\00:00:40.57
WHAT GOD IS DOING IN
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE WORLD.
00:00:40.60\00:00:42.50
SO I WANT TO START THAT
THEN WITH A STORY OF MY OWN.
00:00:42.54\00:00:45.27
PLEASE.
00:00:45.31\00:00:46.31
I'M IN A LITTLE TINY
TOWN IN NORTHEASTERN INDIA.
00:00:46.34\00:00:50.08
I HAVE SPOKEN AT THE ASSEMBLY
FOR A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST
00:00:50.11\00:00:55.82
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
00:00:55.85\00:00:58.02
NEXT DAY IM WANDERING AROUND THE
TOWN, AROUND THE VILLAGE AND ONE
00:00:58.05\00:01:02.02
OF THE KIDS FROM SCHOOL SEES
ME AND HE SHOUTS HEY YOU PASTOR
00:01:02.06\00:01:08.00
DICK. SO PASTOR DICK CAME
OVER AND HE INTRODUCES ME TO HIS
00:01:08.03\00:01:14.77
FATHER. HIS FATHER RUNS THE
HINDU IDOL MAKING BUSINESS IN
THIS TOWN AND SO I GO IN
00:01:14.80\00:01:19.84
AND HIS FATHER SHOWS ME HOW HE
MAKES THE WADS OF STRAW AND HOW
00:01:25.71\00:01:29.98
HE PUTS THE CLAY ON AND HOW HE
LETS THEM DRY AND THEN HE LETS
ME PHOTOGRAPH HIM PAINTING
00:01:30.02\00:01:34.59
EYES ON SOME OF THIS.
00:01:34.62\00:01:35.76
IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE.
00:01:35.79\00:01:38.29
AND ALL THE TIME I'M THINKING
HERE IS HIS SON ATTENDING A
00:01:38.33\00:01:41.83
SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST SCHOOL AND
SO PROUD OF WHAT GOES ON THERE
THAT HE WANTS ME TO
00:01:41.86\00:01:47.90
MEET HIS DAD.
00:01:47.94\00:01:49.50
WOW.
00:01:49.54\00:01:50.17
THE IDOL MAKER.
00:01:50.21\00:01:52.27
SO HOW IS YOUR WORK LIKE THAT?
00:01:54.08\00:01:57.38
WELL I MEAN WE HAVE JUST SEEN
GOD COME IN A VERY POWERFUL WAY
00:01:57.41\00:02:02.75
IN TALKING ABOUT INDIA
AS YOU START WITH A STORY.
00:02:02.78\00:02:05.49
WE HAVE SEEN THAT PEOPLE THAT
HAVE COME IN CONTACT WITH JESUS
00:02:05.52\00:02:10.59
TAKE THAT MESSAGE BACK TO THEIR
FAMILY WHETHER THE DAD IS AN
IDOL MAKER OR WHATEVER
00:02:13.16\00:02:17.07
HE IS.
00:02:17.10\00:02:17.73
WHATEVER YES.
00:02:17.77\00:02:19.17
AND JESUS COMES IN AND WORKS IN
VERY POWERFUL WAYS AND WAYS THAT
00:02:19.20\00:02:25.37
WE WOULD USUALLY NOT EXPECT IN
WAYS IN THE WEST TO COUNTER OUT
00:02:25.41\00:02:29.78
THE POWER. BECAUSE SOMETIMES
WE SAY OH WHAT IS THAT IDOL.
00:02:29.81\00:02:32.48
WELL THOSE IDOLS ACTUALLY MANY
TIMES HAVE EVIL SPIRITS ATTACHED
00:02:32.51\00:02:36.75
TO THEM ONCE
THEY'VE BEEN DEDICATED.
00:02:36.79\00:02:38.22
VERY TRUE.
00:02:38.25\00:02:39.69
SO THAT IDOL IS DEDICATED AND
THE BIBLE MAKES MENTION WHAT'S
00:02:39.72\00:02:42.76
BEHIND THE IDOL.
00:02:42.79\00:02:43.32
IT'S NOT AN EMPTY THING.
00:02:43.36\00:02:44.73
WHILE YES THE FORM IS EMPTY
AND HAS NO POWER THERE'S USUALLY
00:02:44.76\00:02:48.70
EVIL SPIRITS OR MAYBE EVEN A
LEGION OF EVIL SPIRITS THAT LIVE
00:02:48.73\00:02:53.50
BEHIND THOSE IDOLS AND TO GIVE
YOU AN EXAMPLE WITH A STORY.
00:02:53.54\00:02:56.10
THERE WAS A VERY
SIMILAR STORY LIKE THIS.
00:02:56.14\00:02:59.07
A YOUNG MAN GOES FROM
HIS VILLAGE FROM HIS TOWN.
00:02:59.11\00:03:03.14
HE GOES TO A CITY.
00:03:03.18\00:03:04.98
HE'S IN THE UNIVERSITY AND IN
THE UNIVERSITY HE MEETS A YOUNG
00:03:05.01\00:03:10.45
PERSON WHO IS ALSO
A FOLLOWER OF JESUS.
00:03:10.49\00:03:11.82
THAT FOLLOWER
OF JESUS LEADS HIM.
00:03:11.85\00:03:14.39
WITHIN ABOUT THREE WEEKS OF HIM
BECOMING A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST HE
00:03:14.42\00:03:18.43
GOES BACK TO HIS VILLAGE.
00:03:18.46\00:03:20.00
AND IN HIS VILLAGE HE GOES TO
VISIT HIS UNCLE AND USUALLY YOU
00:03:20.03\00:03:24.43
KNOW UNCLE CAN MEAN SOMEONE
WITHIN YOUR FAMILY RELATION.
00:03:24.47\00:03:26.47
YES, IT'S SOMEBODY
WITHIN YOUR FAMILY.
00:03:26.50\00:03:28.60
HE GOES AND VISITS HIS UNCLE
AS HE TELLS ME AND HIS UNCLE IS
00:03:28.64\00:03:33.27
LIKE THE BIG MAN OF THE VILLAGE.
00:03:33.31\00:03:34.81
AND HE IS SITTING THERE IN THE
MAYOR'S OFFICE AND HE WALKS IN
00:03:34.84\00:03:39.05
AND HOW ARE YOU UNCLE.
00:03:39.08\00:03:39.91
I'VE COME BACK
FROM THE UNIVERSITY.
00:03:39.95\00:03:42.72
HOW ARE YOU DOING?
00:03:42.75\00:03:43.65
CAME TO PAY YOU MY
RESPECTS AND SO FORTH.
00:03:43.69\00:03:45.95
AND THE UNCLE SAYS TO TELL
YOU THE TRUTH SON I'M NOT DOING
00:03:45.99\00:03:49.66
FINE. YOU MIGHT BE BUT EVERY DAY
I SPEND MY TIME RESOLVING
PROBLEMS IN THIS VILLAGE.
00:03:49.69\00:03:54.50
EVERYONE IS FIGHTING.
00:03:54.56\00:03:55.80
IT SEEMS LIKE OUR
VILLAGE HAS A CURSE ON IT.
00:03:55.83\00:03:59.00
BECAUSE HE SAYS,
LOOK OUT THE WINDOW.
00:03:59.03\00:04:01.07
THEY WERE SITTING UP LIKE ON THE
SECOND STORY OF HIS LIKE MAYOR'S
00:04:01.10\00:04:05.74
OFFICE. LOOK AT THE CHILDREN.
00:04:05.77\00:04:06.57
THEY'RE FIGHTING.
00:04:06.61\00:04:08.04
THERE ARE TWO SMALL KIDS 7, 8
YEARS OLD JUST BANGING ON EACH
00:04:08.08\00:04:11.38
OTHER DOWN THERE.
00:04:11.41\00:04:13.18
THE WHOLE TOWN, THAT'S A
REPRESENTATION OF OUR TOWN.
00:04:13.21\00:04:15.68
AND HE SAYS I'VE
TRIED EVERYTHING.
00:04:15.72\00:04:17.05
I'VE TRIED TO
TALK WITH THE FAMILIES.
00:04:17.09\00:04:18.39
NOTHING IS RESOLVED.
00:04:18.42\00:04:19.72
THEY WILL BE RESOLVED THREE DAYS
AND I JUST SPEND ALL MY TIME
00:04:19.75\00:04:20.69
RESOLVING SOCIAL
ISSUES IN THIS COMMUNITY.
00:04:20.72\00:04:21.69
AND THE YOUNG MAN HE
SAYS I HAVE A SOLUTION.
00:04:21.72\00:04:23.06
HE SAYS YOU THINK
YOU HAVE A SOLUTION.
00:04:23.09\00:04:24.39
WHAT DID YOU
LEARN AT UNIVERSITY HUH?
00:04:24.43\00:04:27.96
YES.
00:04:27.96\00:04:29.16
HE SAID YOU THINK YOU LEARNED
SOMETHING I DON'T KNOW SON?
00:04:29.20\00:04:34.14
AND SO HE SAYS I'M NOT JOKING
AND I DON'T HAVE AN ANSWER THAT
00:04:41.34\00:04:47.92
I LEARNED AT THE UNIVERSITY.
00:04:47.95\00:04:48.75
I HAVE A SPIRITUAL ANSWER.
00:04:48.78\00:04:52.29
AND NOW THE UNCLE KIND OF
LISTENS AND SAYS WHAT TYPE OF A
00:04:52.32\00:04:56.73
SPIRITUAL ANSWER. HE SAYS WELL I
WORSHIP A GOD THAT I BELIEVE CAN
00:04:56.76\00:05:01.06
RESOLVE THIS. THE GOD THE
CREATOR OF HEAVEN AND EARTH AND
WHEN WE ASK JESUS IN HIS NAME
00:05:01.10\00:05:07.90
THIS WILL BE RESOLVED.
00:05:07.94\00:05:10.71
AND THE UNCLE SAYS, OH I
DON'T THINK HE IS THAT POWERFUL.
00:05:10.74\00:05:13.17
AND THE YOUNG MAN SAYS HE IS.
00:05:13.21\00:05:18.08
HE SAYS WELL IF HE IS THAT
POWERFUL, SEE THOSE KIDS STILL
FIGHTING DOWN THERE?
00:05:18.11\00:05:22.38
FIX THEM.
00:05:22.42\00:05:23.69
IF YOU CAN HAVE THEM
FIXED I'LL BELIEVE YOUR GOD.
00:05:23.72\00:05:27.66
SO HE SAYS TO
HIS UNCLE LET'S PRAY.
00:05:27.69\00:05:29.92
YOU HAVE TO REPEAT WITH ME AND
PRAY AND WE KNEEL DOWN IN YOUR
00:05:29.96\00:05:33.29
OFFICE HERE. AND
HE SAYS KNEEL, WHY.
00:05:33.33\00:05:34.30
IF YOU WANT IT TO BE
RESOLVED KNEEL WITH ME.
00:05:34.30\00:05:38.33
SO THE UNCLE DECIDES AND HE
KNEELS DOWN WITH HIS NEPHEW AND
00:05:38.37\00:05:44.14
THE NEPHEW PRAYS AND THEN HE
SAYS UNCLE YOU NEED TO PRAY THAT
00:05:44.17\00:05:48.54
JESUS WILL REALLY HAVE POWER.
00:05:48.58\00:05:49.98
YOU'RE THE HEAD MAN OF
THIS VILLAGE AND YOU ASK HIM TO
00:05:50.01\00:05:52.45
RESOLVE THESE ISSUES.
00:05:52.48\00:05:53.45
IF YOU ASK HIM IT'S
DIFFERENT THAN JUST ME.
00:05:53.48\00:05:55.88
YOU HAVE TO HAVE FAITH AND
YOU WILL SEE THOSE TWO KIDS WILL
00:05:55.92\00:05:59.85
STOP FIGHTING. SO THE UNCLE SAYS
WELL IF YOU'RE REALLY GOD UP
THERE AND YOU'RE POWERFUL I ASK
00:05:59.89\00:06:05.39
IN THE NAME OF JESUS THAT YOU
WILL RESOLVE THE SOCIAL ISSUES
00:06:05.43\00:06:10.27
IN OUR TOWN. AS HE IS SITTING
THEN HE GOES TO LOOK OUT OVER
THE WINDOW AND THE TWO LITTLE
00:06:10.30\00:06:15.97
BOYS--YOU GUESSED
IT-ARE WALKING AWAY ARM IN ARM.
00:06:16.00\00:06:20.84
JUST ABOUT LIKE THAT.
00:06:20.88\00:06:22.78
THE FIGHT WAS
OVER AND IT WAS DONE.
00:06:22.81\00:06:26.68
OH MY.
00:06:26.72\00:06:27.72
AND WHAT HAPPENED NEXT?
00:06:27.75\00:06:29.22
THE NEXT THING IT WAS THEY
FELT-YOU KNOW NONWESTERN PEOPLE
00:06:29.25\00:06:35.76
FEEL THINGS WE
AS WESTERNERS DON'T.
00:06:35.79\00:06:37.13
THEY IGNORE IT.
00:06:37.16\00:06:38.66
WE IGNORE AND I DON'T KNOW IF
THERE IS THE PRESENCE OF GOD OR
00:06:38.69\00:06:41.90
THE PRESENCE OF EVIL IN A
PLACE BUT THERE IS, THERE IS I'M
00:06:41.93\00:06:46.40
COMMITTED. AND THEY FELT THIS
CHANGE HAPPEN IN THE COMMUNITY.
00:06:46.43\00:06:49.57
THEY FELT LIKE THIS PEACE
CAME OVER THE COMMUNITY AND THE
00:06:49.60\00:06:55.78
PRESENCE OF EVIL LEFT.
00:06:55.81\00:06:57.11
AND SOON THAT WHOLE COMMUNITY
BECAME A TESTIMONY TO THE POWER
00:06:57.15\00:07:00.42
OF JESUS.
00:07:00.45\00:07:01.42
AND NOW PEOPLE WANTED
TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED.
00:07:01.45\00:07:03.42
WHY AM I NOT
FIGHTING WITH MY WIFE.
00:07:03.45\00:07:05.79
HOW COME MY UNCLE IS NO LONGER
SO ANGRY AS HE WAS BEFORE.
00:07:05.82\00:07:10.66
AND SO THEY START COMING AND THE
WORD COMES OUT THE MAYOR OF THE
00:07:10.69\00:07:14.20
TOWN HE PRAYED TO JESUS.
00:07:14.20\00:07:15.40
NOW THE MAYOR WANTS TO KNOW
FROM HIS SON WHAT'S HAPPENED.
00:07:15.43\00:07:17.73
WHAT IS THIS?
00:07:17.77\00:07:19.10
WELL SOON THIS YOUNG MAN STAYED
HOME FROM UNIVERSITY AND STARTED
00:07:19.13\00:07:24.14
TEACHING EVERYONE IN HIS VILLAGE
ABOUT THE POWER OF JESUS.
00:07:24.17\00:07:30.58
AND SO MANY OF THE LEADING
PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY BECAME
FOLLOWERS OF CHRIST
00:07:30.61\00:07:36.02
AND OTHERS.
00:07:36.05\00:07:37.55
BECAUSE THIS TOWN WAS ACTUALLY
NOTORIOUS FOR THE SOCIAL ILLS IN
00:07:37.59\00:07:40.56
THE TOWN AND THE LEVEL OF
VENGEANCE AND REVENGE KILLINGS
AND SO FORTH IN THIS COMMUNITY
00:07:40.59\00:07:46.36
AND WHEN THIS CAME AND SO
MUCH PEACE HAPPENED DIFFERENT
00:07:46.39\00:07:50.43
VILLAGES ALL AROUND STARTED
COMING AND SAYING WHAT'S
HAPPENED, WE WANT TO KNOW.
00:07:50.47\00:07:54.40
IF THIS COULD HAPPEN IN THIS
COMMUNITY WE WANT IT TO HAPPEN
00:07:54.44\00:07:58.37
IN OURS. IT CAN HAPPEN IN OURS.
00:07:58.41\00:08:00.51
SO WE'RE JUST SEEING SO
MANY OF THESE TYPES OF STORIES.
00:08:00.54\00:08:03.51
YOU KNOW WHAT I
LIKE ABOUT THAT STORY.
00:08:03.55\00:08:06.72
NOBODY IS HEALED, NOBODY
IS BROUGHT BACK FROM THE DEAD.
00:08:06.75\00:08:09.12
THERE IS NOBODY WHO CAN TRICK
A POSITIVE ANSWER TO THE PRAYER
00:08:09.15\00:08:14.19
BECAUSE WHAT REALLY HAPPENS IS
THAT THE ENTIRE AREA IS
BLANKETED BY THE PRESENCE OF
00:08:18.19\00:08:24.00
JESUS. YES.
00:08:24.03\00:08:24.77
AND YOU GET THIS PEACE.
00:08:24.80\00:08:25.80
YOU CANNOT TRICK PEACE
INTO A PLACE OR A PERSON.
00:08:25.83\00:08:32.31
YOU CAN'T PRETEND THAT NOW
THEIR WELL, NOW THEIR PEACEFUL.
00:08:32.34\00:08:35.61
NO THEY EITHER
ARE OR THEY AREN'T.
00:08:35.64\00:08:37.31
THAT'S TRUE.
00:08:37.35\00:08:38.88
I LIKE THAT.
00:08:38.91\00:08:40.42
SO WHEN I WAS FIRST TOLD THIS
STORY I MEAN THE YOUNG MAN HE
00:08:40.45\00:08:43.82
HAD ONLY BEEN A BELIEVER NOW
LESS THAN A YEAR AND HE'S NEARLY
CRYING AS HE IS TELLING ME
00:08:43.85\00:08:47.36
THE STORY AND IT'S JUST SO
POWERFUL TO SEE THEM TELL THESE
00:08:47.39\00:08:52.46
TYPES OF STORIES.
YES, SO I'M READY.
00:08:54.63\00:08:55.86
WHAT'S YOUR NEXT ONE.
00:08:55.90\00:08:58.00
DID YOU EVER HEAR OF THE STORIES
FROM SOME OF THE ANCIENT GUYS
00:08:58.03\00:09:03.77
YOU KNOW BACK IN, NO NONE OF US.
00:09:03.81\00:09:05.27
THERE ARE SOME OLD
STORIES ON TAPE LIKE ERIC B.
00:09:05.31\00:09:08.01
HARE.
00:09:08.04\00:09:08.58
I GREW UP WITH ERIC B.
00:09:08.61\00:09:09.84
HARE STORIES.
00:09:09.88\00:09:10.68
REALLY, ON TAPE.
00:09:10.71\00:09:11.35
ON TAPE YES.
00:09:11.38\00:09:12.85
MY MOM AND DAD HAD BOUGHT US
ALL THE TAPES OF THESE DIFFERENT
00:09:12.88\00:09:16.22
STORY TELLERS. AND SO
YOU HEARD THOSE AS A KID.
00:09:16.25\00:09:18.55
I DID, I DID.
00:09:18.59\00:09:20.06
DID YOU BELIEVE THAT
THEY COULD STILL WORK TODAY?
00:09:20.09\00:09:23.56
I THINK IT PLAYED A ROLE FOR ME
TO THINK THAT THOSE SAME TYPE OF
00:09:23.59\00:09:27.30
THINGS COULD HAPPEN
BECAUSE I'VE SEEN GOD WORK.
00:09:27.30\00:09:30.03
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO SEE A
MOVEMENT TOWARDS CHRIST AND IT
00:09:30.07\00:09:34.70
STARTS BECOMING VIRAL AND IT
STARTS GROWING QUICK IT STARTS
00:09:34.74\00:09:38.37
HERE. IT STARTS ON THE KNEES
OF THE LEADERS AND IT COMES WITH
00:09:38.41\00:09:43.21
CONSECRATED PRAYER AND IT'S
REALLY ASKING GOD TO COME IN AND
TAKE CONTROL OF THE SITUATION
00:09:43.24\00:09:48.32
AND PLANT HIS
KINGDOM HERE ON EARTH.
00:09:50.99\00:09:53.09
HAVE YOU SEEN THAT HAPPEN
HERE IN THE UNITED STATES?
00:09:53.12\00:09:58.19
THAT'S A GOOD QUESTION.
00:10:01.76\00:10:03.90
NO IT'S NOT A GOOD QUESTION
BECAUSE I HATE THE REALITY THAT
00:10:03.93\00:10:06.87
YOU HAVE TO PAUSE.
00:10:06.90\00:10:08.04
YES.
00:10:08.07\00:10:08.60
WHAT'S WRONG WITH US?
00:10:08.64\00:10:10.81
I'LL TELL YOU.
00:10:13.41\00:10:15.48
I DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S A
PROBLEM WITH US BUT WE HAVE
00:10:16.88\00:10:20.38
BECOME A BIT INSENSITIVE I THINK
TO THE WORKINGS OF THE HOLY
00:10:20.42\00:10:21.72
SPIRIT. WE'VE BECOME LAZY.
00:10:21.75\00:10:22.88
IT'S A LOT EASIER TO WATCH,
I MEAN IT'S MY OWN NATURE.
00:10:22.92\00:10:24.25
YOU KNOW I WANT TO WATCH
THE SERIES, I WANT TO WATCH THE
00:10:24.29\00:10:30.23
TUBE. I WANT TO DO THIS I
WANT TO DO THAT AND WE GET
00:10:30.26\00:10:32.49
DISTRACTED. BUT I THINK
THERE'S-SOMEBODY TOLD ME ONCE
00:10:32.53\00:10:33.86
THAT GOD OR I MEAN THE DEVIL HAS
CONVINCED CHRISTIANS THAT THEY
00:10:33.90\00:10:35.16
AREN'T TOO BUSY.
I THINK THIS IS IT.
00:10:35.20\00:10:36.53
I THINK ALSO THERE'S ALSO SOME
OTHER TYPES OF FACTORS AS WELL.
00:10:36.56\00:10:38.10
FOR THERE TO BE A REALLY
MOVEMENT AS I MENTIONED IN A
PREVIOUS PROGRAM EARLIER
00:10:38.13\00:10:40.77
IS THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE
PEOPLE TIED TO LAND AND PEOPLE.
00:10:40.80\00:10:45.84
AND WHEN YOU MOVE A PASTOR
WHETHER YOU'RE AN ADVENTIST
00:11:00.62\00:11:03.76
PASTOR, A BAPTIST OR METHODIST
PASTOR YOU'RE USUALLY JUMPED ALL
00:11:03.79\00:11:07.13
OVER THE PLACE. OH YES AND YOU
GO TO A PLACE WHERE YOU HAVE NO
00:11:07.13\00:11:09.83
ROOTS. AND YOU HAVE NO ROOTS.
00:11:09.86\00:11:11.67
AND FOR YOU TO REALLY HAVE A
POWERFUL MOVEMENT FOR JESUS YOU
00:11:11.70\00:11:16.40
HAVE TO HAVE A MAN WHO IS
TIED TO HIS LAND AND PEOPLE.
00:11:16.44\00:11:20.04
SO FOR ME IT'S A BIG DISSERVICE
TO THE CHURCH TO MOVE A PASTOR
00:11:20.08\00:11:23.95
AROUND, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP,
JUMP, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP, JUMP.
00:11:23.98\00:11:26.82
YOU CAN NEVER GET A MOVEMENT.
00:11:26.85\00:11:32.12
NEVER, NEVER, NEVER.
00:11:32.15\00:11:32.79
HUM.
00:11:32.82\00:11:33.86
AND IF YOU LOOK AT THE
REFORMATION MARTIN LUTHER.
00:11:33.89\00:11:35.49
HE LOVES GERMANY,
HE LOVES HIS PEOPLE.
00:11:35.52\00:11:37.49
NOTHING IS GOING TO MOVE HIM.
00:11:37.53\00:11:38.89
HE GOES AND WALKS TO
GET THE RIGHT LANGUAGE.
00:11:38.93\00:11:41.80
GERMANY WAS A HODGE
PODGE OF DIFFERENT DIALECTS.
00:11:41.83\00:11:44.70
RIGHT.
00:11:44.73\00:11:45.23
AND WHAT DOES HE DO.
00:11:45.27\00:11:46.20
HE BUILDS ONE
DIALECT OUT OF ALL OF THEM.
00:11:46.23\00:11:49.34
HE GOES TO THE MARKETS ALL
ACROSS THE GERMAN-SPEAKING
DIALECTS AND HE MAKES ONE
00:11:49.37\00:11:54.31
UNDERSTANDABLE GERMAN THAT
EVERY GERMAN CAN BE PROUD OF.
00:11:54.34\00:11:59.18
AND ONE GOD
EVERYONE CAN WORSHIP.
00:11:59.21\00:12:01.12
AND ONE GOD THAT
EVERYONE CAN WORSHIP.
00:12:01.15\00:12:02.98
SO IF YOU LOOK AT THE EARLY
REFORMERS THAT WE AS ADVENTISTS
00:12:03.02\00:12:08.06
READ A LOT ABOUT, THESE MEN WERE
MEN WHO LOVED THEIR LAND, LOVED
00:12:08.09\00:12:12.76
THEIR PEOPLE AND
WERE DEEPLY SPIRITUAL.
00:12:12.79\00:12:14.10
I'M GOING TO STOP
YOU FOR JUST A SECOND.
00:12:14.10\00:12:17.00
YES.
00:12:17.03\00:12:18.43
I WANT YOU TO WATCH A QUICK
VIDEO AND REMEMBER WHAT YOU'VE
00:12:18.47\00:12:20.50
JUST HEARD MARTY SAY.
00:12:20.54\00:12:21.44
I NEED TO SPREAD
THE GOSPEL HERE AT HOME.
00:12:21.47\00:12:27.08
WHERE IS THE
10/40 WINDOW ANYWAY?
00:12:27.11\00:12:30.78
THOSE PEOPLE LIVE TOO FAR AWAY.
00:12:30.81\00:12:33.35
SOMEONE ELSE CAN
TELL THEM ABOUT JESUS.
00:12:33.38\00:12:35.92
MAYBE THEY COULD JUST WATCH TV.
00:12:35.95\00:12:39.12
NEARLY THREE
BILLION PEOPLE TO REACH.
00:12:39.15\00:12:42.36
MY HEAD HURTS.
00:12:42.39\00:12:43.96
THERE'S NOTHING I CAN DO.
00:12:43.99\00:12:46.63
I GIVE UP.
00:12:46.66\00:12:48.23
WHAT'S THE POINT OF TRYING?
00:12:48.26\00:12:50.90
I CAN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:12:50.93\00:12:53.57
ACTUALLY YOU CAN
MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
00:12:53.60\00:12:56.81
AND JESUS ASKED YOU
TO GO TO ALL THE WORLD.
00:12:56.84\00:13:02.21
WHERE?
00:13:02.24\00:13:02.91
ALL THE WORLD.
00:13:02.94\00:13:04.38
HOW CAN I GO, I
HAVE COMMITMENTS.
00:13:04.41\00:13:08.12
YOU CAN PRAY.
00:13:08.15\00:13:09.72
YOU CAN VOLUNTEER YOUR TALENTS.
00:13:09.75\00:13:12.42
YOU CAN TELL OTHERS.
00:13:12.45\00:13:14.96
YOU CAN GIVE MONEY TO
SPONSOR BIBLE WORKERS.
00:13:14.99\00:13:17.79
MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE
SEARCHING FOR HOPE AND MEANING.
00:13:17.83\00:13:20.76
BUT THEY WON'T
FIND IT WITHOUT YOU.
00:13:20.80\00:13:22.86
BE THE SPARK.
00:13:22.90\00:13:24.37
LIGHT THE FIRE.
00:13:24.40\00:13:26.27
FINISH THE WORK.
00:13:26.30\00:13:28.70
FINISH THE WORK.
00:13:28.74\00:13:31.17
BE THE SPARK.
00:13:31.21\00:13:33.68
SPARKS SHOW UP IN MANY DIFFERENT
WAYS AND SO I'VE GOT A QUESTION
00:13:33.71\00:13:37.35
FOR YOU MARTY.
00:13:37.38\00:13:38.01
YES.
00:13:38.05\00:13:39.51
WHEN I'M IN A COUNTRY THAT
PEOPLE ARE HINDUS AND I LOOK AT
00:13:39.55\00:13:45.82
A HINDU TEMPLE IT'S HARD TO
DECIDE WHERE TO PHOTOGRAPH
BECAUSE THE WALLS, THE ROOF ARE
00:13:45.85\00:13:50.53
ALL COVERED WITH GODS EACH
OF THEM PAINTED AND CARVED AND
00:13:50.56\00:13:55.36
DESIGNED. IT
LOOKS LIKE TO SCARE ME.
00:13:55.40\00:13:57.40
WHAT'S GOING ON THERE?
00:13:57.43\00:13:59.47
WELL CLEARLY THERE'S A PRESENCE
OF EVIL AND GOD IS NOT IN THE
00:13:59.50\00:14:05.44
BUSINESS OF SCARING PEOPLE.
00:14:05.47\00:14:06.57
NO HE NEVER SAID BE AFRAID.
00:14:06.61\00:14:08.14
IT NEVER SAYS BE AFRAID THOUGH
MANY TIMES I THINK WE HAVE AN
00:14:08.18\00:14:10.11
UNBIBLICAL FEAR OF GOD AND
DEFINITELY I THINK IT'S THE
FOUNDATION OF ALL PAGAN
00:14:10.15\00:14:12.11
RELIGION, FEAR.
00:14:12.15\00:14:13.55
BUT JUST AS CHRISTIANITY HAS HAD
IN THE SONS OF ISAAC, THE SONS
00:14:13.58\00:14:14.88
OF JESUS HAVE HAD A GREAT
CONTROVERSY WAGING OVER THEM
00:14:14.92\00:14:16.12
BETWEEN GOOD AND EVIL,
SO HAVE THE HINDU PEOPLE.
00:14:16.15\00:14:17.55
AND IT'S QUITE AMAZING
THAT IF YOU GO BACK TO THE VERY
00:14:17.59\00:14:18.99
BEGINNINGS BACK ALMOST TO THE
TIME OF ABRAHAM WHEN THE FIRST
SCRIPTURES BEGAN TO BE
00:14:19.02\00:14:20.86
WRITTEN AND YOU GO BACK TO
FOR EXAMPLE THE RIG-VEDA,VEDIC
00:14:20.89\00:14:22.86
LITERATURE, IT'S ACTUALLY
A MONOTHEISTIC LITERATURE.
00:14:22.89\00:14:24.19
REALLY.
00:14:24.23\00:14:24.86
IT IS.
00:14:24.89\00:14:25.53
IT'S AMAZING.
00:14:25.56\00:14:27.10
NOW IT USES, LIKE THE OLD
TESTAMENT, DIFFERENT NAMES FOR
GOD BUT IT SAYS THESE
00:14:27.13\00:14:28.50
ARE ONLY EXPRESSIONS OF THE ONE
TRUE GOD THE CREATOR OF HEAVEN
00:14:28.53\00:14:30.17
AND EARTH.
00:14:30.20\00:14:31.63
AND SO AS YOU LOOK IT'S AMAZING
AND ACTUALLY SOMEONE IN THE
00:14:31.67\00:14:33.17
MOVEMENT THAT WE WORK WITH
BEFORE WE EVER STARTED WORKING
WITH HIM WE SPENT A COUPLE
00:14:33.20\00:14:38.21
OF YEARS WITH A HINDU PRIEST, A
BRAHAM HINDU PRIEST STUDYING THE
00:14:40.18\00:14:46.25
GREAT CONTROVERSY IN THEIR
PEOPLE AND IT'S JUST AMAZING
00:14:46.28\00:14:49.12
WHAT HE LEARNED. AND I MEAN HE'S
AN EXPERT IN ANCIENT SANSKRIT
AND ANCIENT LITERATURE AND HE
00:14:49.15\00:14:54.22
NOW WITH THESE NEW EYES HAVING
SEEN THE GREAT CONTROVERSY IN
00:15:04.20\00:15:09.27
OUR PEOPLE HE SAYS LET ME FIND
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY IN MY OWN
00:15:19.98\00:15:25.05
PEOPLE. SO HE GOES AND FINDS
THE EARLY HISTORY AND HE LEARNED
00:15:36.46\00:15:40.57
THAT THERE WAS ORIGINALLY IN
INDIA THE WORSHIP TO THE ONE
TRUE GOD WITH A TEMPLE VERY
00:15:40.60\00:15:44.74
SIMILAR TO A JEWISH
TEMPLE OR SYNAGOGUE.
00:15:44.77\00:15:49.08
AND IN IT THERE WAS ONE ALTER TO
SACRIFICE TO THE ONE TRUE GOD OF
00:15:49.11\00:15:55.15
HEAVEN. WITH THE PASSING OF TIME
THAT ALTER BECOMES AN IDOL-THE
00:15:55.18\00:16:01.02
ALTER ITSELF. THE ALTER ITSELF.
00:16:01.06\00:16:02.06
OKAY.
00:16:02.09\00:16:03.49
WITH THE PASSING OF THE TIME
THEY PUT AN IDOL ON TOP OF THE
00:16:03.53\00:16:07.23
ALTER. NOW THEY HAVE TWO GODS.
00:16:07.23\00:16:09.43
AND THEY START BRINGING IN MORE
REPRESENTATIONS OF WHAT IN THE
00:16:09.46\00:16:14.47
BEGINNING WEREN'T UNDERSTOOD TO
BE GODS THEMSELVES BUT THE POWER
00:16:14.50\00:16:18.97
OF GOD RESIDED IN THESE FIGURES.
00:16:19.01\00:16:23.88
AND SO WITH THE PASSING OF TIME
THEY WENT FROM WORSHIPING THE
00:16:23.91\00:16:27.98
ONE TRUE GOD OF HEAVEN TO
WORSHIPPING MANY, MANY DIFFERENT
00:16:28.02\00:16:32.22
EVIL SPIRITS. AS THEY NOW LOOK
BACK, WHAT DID GOD LEAVE, WHAT
WERE GOD'S FOOTPRINTS IN
00:16:32.25\00:16:36.62
THEIR PEOPLE.
00:16:36.66\00:16:37.73
THEN THEY FOUND THAT THEY
HAD EXPLANATION FROM THIS.
00:16:37.76\00:16:40.90
AND ACCORDING TO THEIR ANCIENT
TRADITIONS IN THEIR OWN HOLY
00:16:40.93\00:16:44.60
WRITINGS IT TELLS
THE FOLLOWING STORY.
00:16:44.63\00:16:46.03
THAT THERE WAS A GREAT WAR
IN HEAVEN AND OUT OF HEAVEN GOD
00:16:46.07\00:16:51.51
EXPELLED 33 MILLION EVIL SPIRITS
THAT HAD NOT SIDED WITH GOD AND
THESE CAME TO EARTH AND
00:16:51.54\00:16:57.78
MOST OF THESE ENDED UP IN INDIA.
00:16:57.81\00:16:59.71
THAT'S WHY THEY HAVE LIKE 33
MILLION GODS BECAUSE THESE WERE
00:16:59.75\00:17:04.52
EXPELLED FROM HEAVEN.
00:17:04.55\00:17:06.09
AND SO THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANY
LONGER HOW TO WORSHIP THE ONE
00:17:06.12\00:17:10.23
TRUE GOD OF HEAVEN BECAUSE NOW
THEY WERE KEPT UNDER SUBJUGATION
OR UNDER FEAR OF THESE EVIL
00:17:10.26\00:17:15.93
SPIRITS.
00:17:15.96\00:17:17.40
SO WHEN YOU AND A GOSPEL
OUTREACH WORKER GO INTO A HINDU
00:17:17.43\00:17:23.30
ENVIRONMENT HOW DO YOU
COMMUNICATE THE GREAT GIFT OF
SALVATION THROUGH JESUS CHRIST?
00:17:23.34\00:17:29.14
WELL THERE WERE PROPHECIES
IN THE HINDU LITERATURE THAT ONE
00:17:29.18\00:17:34.92
DAY THE GREAT GOD OF HEAVEN, THE
CREATOR OF ALL THE UNIVERSE AND
OF MAN, HE WOULD APPEAR IN
00:17:34.95\00:17:39.49
THE FORM OF MAN AND HE WOULD
COME TO TEACH US RIGHTEOUS LAWS.
00:17:39.52\00:17:43.53
REALLY.
00:17:43.56\00:17:45.16
YES.
00:17:45.19\00:17:46.83
AND SO THEY START
TO EXPLAIN THIS STORY.
00:17:46.86\00:17:49.13
AND THIS IS THE HOPE.
00:17:49.16\00:17:51.43
AND SEE WE KNOW THE WORD
IN ENGLISH, AVATAR RIGHT.
00:17:51.47\00:17:55.10
AND THIS IS THEIR UNDERSTANDING
THAT THE GREAT AVATAR WOULD COME
00:17:55.14\00:17:58.61
FROM HEAVEN, THE INCARNATION
OF THE CREATOR GOD AND HE WOULD
00:17:58.64\00:18:03.18
COME TO TEACH THE
RIGHTEOUS LAWS TO HIS PEOPLE.
00:18:03.21\00:18:06.45
SO NOW THE STORY STARTS TO
UNFOLD AND THEY SAID, DID YOU
KNOW THAT THE GREAT
00:18:06.48\00:18:12.12
AVATAR THAT OUR PEOPLE ARE
WAITING AND EXPECTING IS
ACTUALLY ALREADY COME.
00:18:12.15\00:18:17.73
AND THEN THE
PEOPLE GET ALL EXCITED.
00:18:17.76\00:18:20.13
AND SEE TO UNDERSTAND OUR
MOVEMENT AS WORK AMONG THE
BRAHMANS WOULD BE LIKE TO
00:18:20.16\00:18:25.07
USE TERMS THAT WE WOULD
UNDERSTAND AMONG THE LEVITES.
00:18:25.10\00:18:27.87
BRAHMANS ARE THE PRIESTLY CAST
AND THEY HAD BEEN SET APART BY
00:18:27.90\00:18:34.78
GOD FROM THE VERY BEGINNING FOR
THE WORSHIP OF THE ONE TRUE
CREATOR GOD OF HEAVEN AND EARTH.
00:18:34.81\00:18:39.15
BUT THEY HAD LED THE PEOPLE
ASTRAY AND TODAY THE HOUSE
00:18:39.18\00:18:43.18
CHURCH MOVEMENT THAT WE WORK
WITH AMONG HINDU BRAHMANS IS
CUTTING BACK TO THEIR HEARTS.
00:18:43.22\00:18:47.49
WE WENT ASTRAY.
00:18:47.52\00:18:49.92
WE DIDN'T FOLLOW
WHAT GOD WANTED US TO DO.
00:18:49.96\00:18:53.16
IN THESE LAST DAYS WE HAVE TO
CALL THE NATION BACK TO THE ONE
00:18:53.19\00:18:58.47
TRUE CREATOR GOD
OF WHO WE WERE CALLED.
00:18:58.50\00:19:00.70
THE AVATAR HAS ALREADY COME AND
THAT AVATAR IS JESUS CHRIST AND
00:19:00.74\00:19:04.61
WE'RE CALLING THE
NATION BACK TO CHRIST TODAY.
00:19:04.64\00:19:07.01
AND WE APOLOGIZE, WE REPENT IN
OUR HEARTS FOR THE SINS OF OUR
00:19:07.04\00:19:11.15
FOREFATHERS FOR HAVING
TAKEN THE NATION INTO IDOLATRY.
00:19:11.18\00:19:16.99
WHERE IS THAT
MESSAGE BEING SHARED?
00:19:17.02\00:19:20.39
IN THE COUNTRY OF INDIA.
00:19:20.42\00:19:22.42
REALLY.
00:19:22.46\00:19:23.89
SO WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT A HOUSE
CHURCH IN THE BRAHMANS YOU'RE
00:19:23.93\00:19:26.23
TALKING ABOUT BRAHMAN FAMILIES.
00:19:26.26\00:19:28.86
BRAHMAN FAMILIES.
00:19:28.90\00:19:30.10
WHO HAVE HOUSE CONGREGATIONS.
00:19:30.13\00:19:31.77
HOUSE CONGREGATIONS.
00:19:31.80\00:19:33.10
THAT ARE TEACHING THE TRUTH OF
THE ONE GOD AND HIS SALVATION.
00:19:33.13\00:19:36.91
AND HIS SALVATION.
00:19:36.94\00:19:38.07
AND PULLING BACK TO THE
GOD WHO MADE HEAVEN AND EARTH.
00:19:38.11\00:19:41.38
AND SO NOW THEY OPEN THE BIBLE
AND NOW IT'S NOT A FOREIGN GOD.
00:19:41.41\00:19:45.55
IT'S NOT THE FOREIGN,
THE THING OF THE BRITISH.
00:19:45.58\00:19:47.65
IT'S NOW UNDERSTANDING HOW HE
PLAYS INTO WHAT HAD BEEN
PROPHESIZED TO THEM
00:19:47.68\00:19:53.79
AND HAD BEEN TOLD THEM.
00:19:53.82\00:19:54.82
THE GOD OF THE BRITISH.
00:19:54.86\00:19:56.46
INTERESTING THAT YOU WOULD USE
THAT BECAUSE THAT GAVE THEM A
PICTURE OF GOD, THE
00:19:56.49\00:20:01.86
ONE GOD, THE TRUE GOD, JESUS
CHRIST, SALVATION, CROSS,
EVERYTHING THAT WAS
00:20:01.90\00:20:06.63
INCORRECT?
00:20:06.67\00:20:07.84
THAT'S CORRECT.
00:20:07.87\00:20:09.30
I MEAN THAT-SEE THE BRITISH CAME
WITH COLONIAL POWER AND THOSE
00:20:09.34\00:20:13.98
WHO WERE IN POWER, THE WHOLE
NATION, THE WHOLE INDIAN
SUBCONTINENT SUFFERED
00:20:14.01\00:20:17.31
GREATLY.
00:20:17.35\00:20:18.81
BECAUSE AS THEY TOOK THE POWER
IN INDIA AND HAD THE BRITISH
00:20:18.85\00:20:24.55
RAJ, THE BRITISH EMPIRE.
00:20:24.59\00:20:25.89
THEY CHARGED MUCH HIGHER TAXES
THAN THE LOCAL EMPIRE HAD DONE
00:20:25.92\00:20:29.49
ORIGINALLY.
00:20:29.52\00:20:30.69
AND SO THEY PUSHED THE COUNTRY
INTO SIGNIFICANT POVERTY.
00:20:30.73\00:20:33.53
AND THEY DID IT BY
A LOT OF HYPOCRISY.
00:20:33.56\00:20:36.20
THEY WOULD BREAK CONSISTENTLY
THEIR COVENANTS OR THEIR
00:20:36.23\00:20:39.43
CONTRACTS AND SO I DON'T KNOW
ABOUT DIFFERENT LANGUAGES IN
00:20:39.47\00:20:44.54
INDIA BUT BENGALI IS A MAJOR
LANGUAGE AND IN BENGALI IT'S THE
00:20:47.18\00:20:50.78
TRADITION IF YOU SEE A CHILD
BEING TWO FACED THEY TELL HIM
00:20:50.81\00:20:56.42
DON'T BE BRITISH. HUM.
00:20:56.45\00:20:57.95
AND SO THERE'S A
LOT OF RESENTMENT.
00:20:57.99\00:21:00.56
SO JESUS AND CHRISTIANITY
REALLY COMES OFF POORLY.
00:21:00.59\00:21:04.96
IT COMES OFF EXTREMELY POORLY.
00:21:04.99\00:21:07.03
AND SO NOW YOU SHOW UP AND YOU
ARE ENCOURAGING AND THE BRAHMANS
00:21:07.10\00:21:12.13
BUY IN THAT THERE IS ONE TRUE
GOD AND THAT JESUS IS THE
AVATAR, THE PRESENCE OF THAT GOD
00:21:14.80\00:21:18.77
HERE ON EARTH.
00:21:18.81\00:21:21.51
WHY WOULD PEOPLE BELIEVE THEM?
00:21:21.54\00:21:23.61
BESIDES THIS POWERFUL-- IT MAKES
SENSE TO THEIR GREAT CONTROVERSY
00:21:24.98\00:21:28.78
STORY. THEY HADN'T
PULLED IT ALL TOGETHER.
00:21:28.82\00:21:30.52
AND THE PERSON THAT I MENTIONED
HE PREPARED THIS WHOLE STORY
00:21:30.55\00:21:36.16
THAT SHARES THEIR HISTORY, THEIR
SACRED HISTORY OF HOW GOD HAS
WORKED AND CALLED THEM
00:21:36.19\00:21:40.36
BACK AND SENT MESSENGERS AND
HOW THE EVIL ONE HAS TAKEN THEM
00:21:40.40\00:21:44.63
DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO IDOLATRY
AND MORE AND MORE FEAR OF THE
00:21:44.67\00:21:47.97
EVIL SPIRITS. NOW SEVERAL THINGS
HAVE HAPPENED IN INDIA IN
DIFFERENT PARTS LIKE A BIG
00:21:48.00\00:21:52.34
PORTION, WEST BENGAL, THERE HAS
BEEN A COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT AND
00:21:52.37\00:21:57.15
WHILE WE WOULD SAY WHAT GOOD CAN
COME FROM A COMMUNIST
GOVERNMENT, GOD'S HAND IS
00:21:57.18\00:22:02.05
IN EVERYTHING IN
THE GOOD AND THE BAD.
00:22:02.08\00:22:03.89
THAT'S RIGHT.
00:22:03.92\00:22:05.39
AND WHAT HAS HAPPENED, THE
COMMUNIST GOVERNMENT HAS SAID
WHAT POWER IS THERE
00:22:05.42\00:22:09.66
IN IDOLS.
00:22:09.69\00:22:12.09
WHAT IS THERE IN THIS AND SO
THIS HAS REALLY HELPED FORGE A
00:22:12.13\00:22:18.03
MOVEMENT AS WE HAVE UNDERSTOOD
THE GREAT CONTROVERSY FOR
00:22:18.07\00:22:22.30
HINDUS. AND DIFFERENT POLITICAL
PARTIES IN THE COUNTRY ACROSS
00:22:22.34\00:22:26.21
THE NATION ARE SAYING HOW
HYGIENIC EVEN IS IT FOR US TO
POUR WATER ON A DIRTY IDOL AND
00:22:26.24\00:22:32.38
THEN DRINK THE WATER OFF THE
DIRTY IDOL WHICH HAS BEEN A
TRADITION FOR A VERY
00:22:32.41\00:22:36.32
LONG TIME.
00:22:36.35\00:22:37.82
OR TO SACRIFICE MILK AND THEN
DRINK THE MILK THAT'S POURED
00:22:37.85\00:22:41.82
OVER THE IDOL. WE
CAN GET SICK FROM THAT.
00:22:41.86\00:22:44.13
SO THERE HAVE BEEN MANY
MOVEMENTS THAT HAVE PREPARED FOR
00:22:44.16\00:22:47.96
THESE END TIMES I BELIEVE AND
THEN ESPECIALLY UNDERSTANDING
THOSE REDEMPTIVE GEMS THAT
00:22:48.00\00:22:54.34
GOD HAS EMBEDDED IN WHAT WE
WOULD THINK OF THE DARKEST OF
00:22:54.37\00:22:58.41
PLACES. SO THE-- I HAVE SEVERAL
GOOD FRIENDS IN HINDU RELIGIONS
00:22:58.44\00:23:03.58
AND IN HARE KRISHNA, YOU
KNOW KRISHNA CONSCIOUSNESS.
00:23:05.85\00:23:08.95
AND ONE THING THAT I'VE
DISCOVERED IS THAT YOU CANNOT
00:23:08.98\00:23:14.22
SUCCEED IN THE HINDU COMMUNITY
WITHOUT WORRYING THAT YOU'RE
00:23:14.26\00:23:19.93
BEHAVIOR MUST BE ACCEPTABLE TO
GOD AND YET CHRISTIANITY, AS YOU
AND I KNOW IT, AND THE PLAN OF
00:23:19.96\00:23:26.50
SALVATION IS THE ONLY THING I
CAN DO TO BE SAVED IS TO RELAX
00:23:26.53\00:23:31.27
INTO JESUS CHRIST.
00:23:31.31\00:23:32.67
NOW LET ME JUST-- I WILL TELL
YOU WHAT WE HAVE LEARNED FROM
00:23:32.71\00:23:35.94
WHETHER YOU'RE A JEWISH FOLLOWER
OF JESUS, A MUSLIM FOLLOWER OF
00:23:35.98\00:23:40.32
JESUS OR SOMEONE WHO
COMES FROM A HINDU BACKGROUND.
00:23:40.35\00:23:42.58
OKAY.
00:23:42.62\00:23:43.99
IN ALL OF THOSE WE COME, IN THE
WEST, FROM A VERY SMALL CULTURE.
00:23:44.02\00:23:49.19
I MEAN THERE'S WIDE VARIANCE
PERMITTED SO I CAN STILL BE AN
00:23:49.22\00:23:55.36
AMERICAN. I CAN JUST ABOUT DRESS
ANYWAY I WANT AND NO ONE IS
GOING TO CRITICIZE ME
00:23:55.40\00:23:59.93
TOO MUCH.
00:24:00.04\00:24:00.97
YES, THEY'LL LAUGH
AT YOU BUT YOU'RE OKAY.
00:24:01.00\00:24:02.34
THEY'LL LAUGH AT ME BUT I'M NOT
GOING TO BE EXPELLED OUT OF MY
00:24:02.37\00:24:04.51
COMMUNITY.
00:24:04.54\00:24:06.04
NOW IF YOU'RE A JEW IT'S
EXPECTED CERTAIN RELIGIOUS,
00:24:06.07\00:24:12.01
CULTURAL RELIGIOUS FORMS.
00:24:12.05\00:24:13.58
IF YOU'RE A MUSLIM THERE'S
CERTAIN CULTURAL RELIGIOUS FORMS
00:24:13.62\00:24:16.75
AND IF YOU'RE A HINDU OR A
BUDDHIST THERE ARE CERTAIN
CULTURAL RELIGIOUS FORMS AND
00:24:16.79\00:24:20.89
WHAT WE HAVE FOUND IS YOU NEED
TO KEEP THOSE CULTURAL RELIGIOUS
00:24:20.92\00:24:25.26
FORMS THAT DON'T GO AGAINST THE
BIBLE THAT DON'T BREAK ANY
BIBLICAL MANDATE THAT DON'T
00:24:25.29\00:24:30.70
BRING IN LET'S SAY
SPIRITISM OR SATANIC WORSHIP.
00:24:30.73\00:24:34.64
SO IF A HINDU BRAHAM HAS A LONG
PIECE OF HAIR, IF HE'S DRESSED
00:24:34.67\00:24:39.74
IN WHITE CLOTHING, IF HE HAS A
CAP ON, WE DON'T NEED TO CHANGE
00:24:41.78\00:24:44.55
THAT. THAT'S FINE.
00:24:44.58\00:24:45.21
IT'S FINE.
00:24:45.25\00:24:46.68
NOW IF HE'S GOING THERE TO
PRAY TO AN IDOL, WE NEED TO TALK
00:24:46.72\00:24:51.39
ABOUT THAT. THAT'S NOW
SOMETHING WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT.
00:24:51.42\00:24:53.25
NOW IN CHRIST THE IDOL HAS NO
POWER OVER US AND WE DON'T NEED
00:24:53.29\00:24:57.99
TO PRAY TO THE IDOL.
00:24:58.03\00:24:59.49
SO THE FEAR IMMEDIATELY IS
SOMETHING THAT YOU CAN ATTACK
00:24:59.53\00:25:02.60
COMFORTABLY. EXACTLY.
00:25:02.63\00:25:04.20
SO MAYBE THE BELIEVER WILL
CONTINUE TO DO THOSE FORMS AND
RITUALS THAT AREN'T
00:25:04.23\00:25:08.37
SATANIC OR SPIRITISTIC IN NATURE
OR GO AGAINST A MORAL CODE OF
00:25:08.40\00:25:14.68
GOD FOR THE SAKE
OF HIS COMMUNITY.
00:25:14.71\00:25:16.44
WHICH IS FINE.
00:25:16.48\00:25:17.95
WHICH IS FINE BECAUSE IF HE WERE
NOW TO DRESS LIKE AN AMERICAN
00:25:17.98\00:25:20.82
AND SING LIKE A CHRISTIAN, AND
GOD DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT, AND
GOD DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT,
00:25:20.85\00:25:24.45
SO THEN HE'S A FOREIGNER NOW.
00:25:24.49\00:25:28.06
WHAT CAN HE SHARE WITH US IF
HE'S DRESSING AND TALKING AND
00:25:28.09\00:25:31.56
NOW WORSHIPPING
LIKE A FOREIGNER.
00:25:31.59\00:25:33.83
HE'S NOT OURS ANYMORE.
00:25:33.86\00:25:34.66
HE'S NOT OURS ANYMORE.
00:25:34.73\00:25:36.16
SO IF HE KEEPS HIS WHOLE THING,
JESUS BECOMES VERY PROMINENT BUT
00:25:36.20\00:25:42.74
WHAT MOST PEOPLE WOULD EXPECT IN
A CHRISTIAN EXPERIENCE OF GOING
00:25:42.77\00:25:48.01
TO CHURCH IN A CHURCH THAT LOOKS
LIKE A CHURCH AND ASSOCIATING,
BECAUSE ALREADY CHRISTIANS
00:25:48.04\00:25:52.95
IN LET'S SAY IN INDIA ARE
ASSOCIATED WITH THE LOWER CLASS
00:25:52.98\00:25:58.25
OR WHAT ARE
CALLED "NO CAST PEOPLE."
00:25:58.29\00:25:59.55
RIGHT.
00:25:59.59\00:26:01.09
AND SO MOST CHRISTIANS, THE TWO
OR THREE PERCENT IN THE NATION
00:26:01.12\00:26:04.36
THAT ARE CHRISTIANS, COME FROM
LOW CAST OR NO CAST AND SO IT'S
00:26:04.39\00:26:09.70
A BIG SHAME FOR A BRAHMAN TO BE
ASSOCIATED WITH PEOPLE THAT THEY
SA BEFORE THE MISSIONARIES
00:26:09.73\00:26:14.34
CAME WERE DRESSED
RUNNING AROUND NAKED.
00:26:14.37\00:26:18.31
BUT WHEN THE BRAHMAN IN HIS FULL
INDIAN GARB AND FULL BRAHMAN
00:26:18.34\00:26:23.41
LIFESTYLE TALKS ABOUT JESUS AS
SOMEONE I CAN TRUST AND MY
SALVATION MY RELATIONSHIP
00:26:25.85\00:26:30.52
WITH MY GOD HAS NO FEAR,
ABSOLUTELY HE HAS NO FEAR.
00:26:30.55\00:26:34.66
THAT DRAWS THEM BACK TO
THE ONE CREATOR GOD AND THEIR
00:26:34.69\00:26:40.83
CHRISTIANS. AND THEY'RE
FOLLOWERS OF JESUS AND THEY HOLD
THE BIBLE IN IT'S SUPREMACY.
00:26:40.86\00:26:44.03
THEY'LL UPHOLD THE BIBLE AND
JESUS CHRIST AND SALVATION IS
00:26:44.07\00:26:47.04
SOMETHING THAT COMES NOT BECAUSE
OF WHO I AM BUT BECAUSE OF WHO
00:26:47.07\00:26:52.14
HE IS. THANKS FOR BEING
PART OF GOSPEL OUTREACH.
00:26:57.95\00:27:03.05
