Hello. We welcome you to another
00:00:20.49\00:00:21.93
edition of Bible
Alive. My name is Dwight Hall
00:00:21.96\00:00:25.10
and my co host
Pastor Mark Howard.
00:00:25.13\00:00:26.76
How are you Mark?
00:00:26.79\00:00:27.76
I'm doing great Dwight.
This is not your ordinary
00:00:27.77\00:00:29.85
edition is it?
00:00:29.88\00:00:30.85
It's certainly not.
We will have some fans
00:00:30.86\00:00:33.86
of the audience.
But this is actually
00:00:33.89\00:00:35.23
as a Live, Bible
Alive! What we've done,
00:00:35.26\00:00:40.13
we've been having this
Remnant Rally and it's been such
00:00:40.16\00:00:43.44
a spiritual feast.
That what we did is we asked
00:00:43.47\00:00:46.41
the audience that they
would right some questions down
00:00:46.44\00:00:49.65
and that, we, as a panel here,
that the speakers would answer
00:00:49.68\00:00:53.12
those questions. Now
we can't get to them all.
00:00:53.15\00:00:55.18
It seems like so
many are participating.
00:00:55.21\00:00:56.91
Yeah. There
were great questions.
00:00:56.94\00:00:57.96
Great questions. We're
trying to get to quite a few.
00:00:57.99\00:01:01.45
But we have more
than just you and I.
00:01:01.48\00:01:04.18
We have Christian Berdahl.
I've known you Christian.
00:01:04.21\00:01:07.10
I'm glad that you're here.
00:01:07.13\00:01:08.10
I'm glad to be here.
00:01:08.11\00:01:09.08
What do you do for
people who don't know?
00:01:09.39\00:01:11.14
We have a full time
ministry of singing, preaching
00:01:11.74\00:01:13.73
in media
production. God calls me to go
00:01:13.76\00:01:16.74
all around the country
and all around the world.
00:01:16.77\00:01:18.88
Amen.
00:01:18.96\00:01:19.93
Pastor Kang, I've known
you for about twenty years.
00:01:19.94\00:01:22.60
You can explain what you do.
00:01:22.63\00:01:24.58
I'm very thankful
to be here with you.
00:01:24.83\00:01:27.16
What we're doing is we
are preaching the Gospel
00:01:28.36\00:01:30.86
of Jesus Christ. We
focused on the Korean
00:01:30.89\00:01:33.15
speaking and Chinese
speaking people in the world.
00:01:33.18\00:01:35.32
Amen.
00:01:35.35\00:01:36.32
Thank you.
00:01:36.33\00:01:37.30
We, also, instead of just me
speaking or Pastor Mark here,
00:01:37.31\00:01:41.20
we have Debbie
Young. Debbie, I'm glad that
00:01:41.23\00:01:43.96
you're here. You
can't really see this
00:01:43.99\00:01:47.42
but she gets a cushioned
seat and we're on the hot seat
00:01:47.45\00:01:52.98
She's our facilitator. So
be easy on us Debbie okay?
00:01:53.63\00:01:58.58
I'm glad that you're here and
she will asking the questions.
00:01:58.98\00:02:01.93
We're doing this again
that the Bible may come alive.
00:02:02.83\00:02:06.63
These are real questions with
the people that are here wanting
00:02:06.66\00:02:10.39
real practical answers.
So with that, we'll start.
00:02:10.42\00:02:14.59
All right. Thank you Dwight.
00:02:14.62\00:02:15.88
It's my privilege to be
able to pose these questions
00:02:15.91\00:02:17.80
to you gentlemen.
Our first question is...
00:02:17.83\00:02:21.25
So we learned that we must
cleanse our spiritual temples
00:02:21.28\00:02:25.31
and that this is a process,
however, at what point in this
00:02:25.34\00:02:29.63
process, should we be
sharing the light to others?
00:02:29.66\00:02:33.15
You know what? I'm
going to put you on pause
00:02:33.18\00:02:35.95
for a second. There
was one thing that I
00:02:35.98\00:02:37.12
that I forgot.
Before we get in the Word
00:02:37.15\00:02:40.22
of God, we pray
before we actually
00:02:40.25\00:02:42.99
get on the air. But I
want you to bow your heads
00:02:43.02\00:02:44.85
with me, all of you.
We'll just have a word
00:02:44.88\00:02:46.50
of prayer.
Pastor Mark, would you
00:02:46.53\00:02:47.72
have prayer?
00:02:47.75\00:02:48.72
Absolutely.
00:02:48.73\00:02:49.70
Let's bow our heads.
00:02:49.71\00:02:50.68
Father in heaven,
Father as we are seeking to
00:02:50.69\00:02:54.59
provide answers to
these questions here,
00:02:54.62\00:02:56.65
Lord we do pray that
these would not be our answers.
00:02:56.68\00:02:59.18
But Your Spirit will
guide us in understanding and in
00:02:59.21\00:03:03.53
answering and hearing
and applying these answers to
00:03:03.56\00:03:07.04
our lives. Bless
us now Lord in the
00:03:07.07\00:03:09.06
name of Jesus. We ask and pray.
00:03:09.09\00:03:10.81
Amen.
00:03:10.86\00:03:11.94
Thank you. So now
Debbie I'm going to have
00:03:11.97\00:03:13.75
you read it again.
00:03:13.78\00:03:14.75
Okay. All right.
00:03:14.76\00:03:16.13
As we've been
talking about the sanctuary,
00:03:16.16\00:03:19.19
one of the things we learned
is about cleansing our bodies.
00:03:19.22\00:03:22.26
So this question says,
"So we learned that we must
00:03:22.29\00:03:26.66
cleanse our spiritual temples
and that this is a process,
00:03:26.69\00:03:30.06
however, at what point in this
process should we be sharing
00:03:30.09\00:03:34.43
the light to others?
00:03:34.46\00:03:35.83
It sounds to me like
the questioner is asking,
00:03:37.73\00:03:40.07
because the Christian life is
a growth process, how much do we
00:03:40.10\00:03:43.72
have to grow or how much do we
have to know before we can share
00:03:43.75\00:03:46.85
the Gospel?
Christian, we're talking before
00:03:46.88\00:03:49.57
a little bit about that
and you mentioned a couple of
00:03:49.60\00:03:51.44
Bible examples.
00:03:51.47\00:03:52.44
There is a misconception
that you have to get all of your
00:03:52.45\00:03:55.87
ducks in a row before you
go out and witness for God.
00:03:55.91\00:03:59.30
When you read of Jesus sitting
at the well, with the woman at
00:04:00.06\00:04:05.30
the well, when she heard truth
and she saw Jesus for what He
00:04:05.33\00:04:09.70
was and who he was,
she went out and did what?
00:04:09.73\00:04:13.11
She immediately went and
became a witness for him.
00:04:13.14\00:04:17.06
If the Spirit has moved
you, the truth has penetrated
00:04:17.09\00:04:22.53
your heart, then do not
delay. Because she had a massive
00:04:22.56\00:04:27.44
witness that day. Many
were converted to Christ
00:04:27.47\00:04:29.99
in one day.
00:04:30.02\00:04:30.99
There's another one that I think
that if you're questioning the
00:04:31.00\00:04:34.89
woman at the well,
and she was with what?
00:04:34.92\00:04:36.98
Like five other
husbands the Lord said.
00:04:37.01\00:04:38.95
It wasn't like she was perfect
by any means at that time
00:04:38.98\00:04:41.85
but look at the demoniacs.
They were bound in chains
00:04:41.88\00:04:45.15
and they were
screaming and everything else.
00:04:45.18\00:04:46.74
In fact if you remember
the disciples took off and ran
00:04:46.77\00:04:50.82
and I imagine it.
Peter and John were probably
00:04:50.85\00:04:53.04
pretty good runners
and they were looking back.
00:04:53.07\00:04:54.60
Where's Jesus at?
When Jesus got through with
00:04:54.63\00:04:58.01
those demoniacs, they asked
if they could go with Jesus.
00:04:58.04\00:05:01.13
He said, "No. You stay
here and you spread the Gospel.
00:05:01.16\00:05:06.11
You share what I have
done. " By the way, everyone is
00:05:06.14\00:05:11.82
listening here that,
those demoniacs did actually
00:05:11.85\00:05:14.57
more than what Jesus could.
If you remember and if you're
00:05:14.60\00:05:17.06
read your Scriptures,
the town really didn't want
00:05:17.09\00:05:20.54
Christ at that time.
They were actually able to do
00:05:20.57\00:05:24.77
something, their testimony.
When the demoniacs got through,
00:05:24.80\00:05:27.66
they were changed. They
actually readied the town
00:05:27.69\00:05:31.01
for Jesus the
next time that He came.
00:05:31.04\00:05:32.97
So when you give your heart
to Jesus, and He speaks to you,
00:05:33.00\00:05:36.18
it's time to go.
00:05:36.21\00:05:37.18
One other point there,
and Debbie, I think you talked
00:05:37.25\00:05:39.87
with this a little earlier.
Again the question was asked,
00:05:39.90\00:05:42.73
"How much do we have to know?
How much do we have to grow
00:05:42.76\00:05:45.56
in our Christian life before
we could share our faith?"
00:05:45.59\00:05:47.38
I think we need to remember
that sharing our faith is part
00:05:47.41\00:05:50.92
of growing. We can't
grow spiritually if we
00:05:50.95\00:05:53.55
don't share our faith.
Sometimes we get that out
00:05:53.58\00:05:55.71
of the mix. We say we
need to read the Bible
00:05:55.74\00:05:58.12
and pray. But we
don't realize that
00:05:58.15\00:06:00.24
sharing our faith,
where reading the Bible
00:06:00.27\00:06:02.83
would be like feeding ourselves.
A baby needs to eat to grow.
00:06:02.86\00:06:05.78
He is to breathe to
grow that would be prayer.
00:06:05.81\00:06:08.35
But he also needs to exercise
and that exercise to sharing
00:06:08.38\00:06:11.90
our faith.
00:06:11.93\00:06:12.90
Thank you. David
maybe I can ask this
00:06:13.61\00:06:19.65
of you first. I don't
understand the different
00:06:19.68\00:06:22.78
offerings: the Trespass
Offering, Wave Offering,
00:06:22.81\00:06:27.10
Grain Offering, along
with the Peace Offering
00:06:27.13\00:06:31.00
Sin Offerings.
What are all of them
00:06:31.03\00:06:33.21
actually for?
00:06:33.24\00:06:34.41
This question involves
whole scope of Sanctuary Message
00:06:34.44\00:06:39.45
in entirety. I wish
I can take about two
00:06:39.48\00:06:42.18
hours. I'd love
to take two hours
00:06:42.21\00:06:45.85
to answer this.
I'll trying to summarize
00:06:45.88\00:06:48.46
in a couple of minutes if I
can. Wave Offering has to do
00:06:48.49\00:06:53.94
with the symbolism of the
Resurrection of Jesus Christ
00:06:53.97\00:06:56.94
on the third day from the
Passover as we understand.
00:06:56.97\00:07:00.28
But actually when we come
down to the basic four offerings
00:07:00.31\00:07:04.86
in the Sanctuary Service are,
first of all, Burnt Offering and
00:07:04.89\00:07:08.71
Peace Offering and Sin
Offering and Trespass Offerings.
00:07:08.74\00:07:11.78
These are all representing
of the ministry of Jesus Christ
00:07:11.81\00:07:17.69
at the same time our
personal experiences.
00:07:17.72\00:07:20.99
There are two folds,
purposes of Santuary message.
00:07:21.02\00:07:24.41
The whole
procedure has two purposes.
00:07:24.44\00:07:26.71
It represents the
ministry of Jesus Christ
00:07:26.74\00:07:30.16
in the different junctures.
And also it represents and
00:07:30.19\00:07:33.16
illustrates our personal
experience as the followers
00:07:33.19\00:07:36.94
of Jesus Christ.
Burnt Offering and the Peace
00:07:36.97\00:07:40.99
Offering are willing offering
or wilful offering which means
00:07:41.02\00:07:44.74
you don't have to bring
it if you don't want to.
00:07:44.77\00:07:48.12
But you can cupper them
with either Sin Offering
00:07:48.15\00:07:52.98
or Trespass Offering. So
Burnt Offering and the Peace
00:07:53.01\00:07:55.98
Offering are willing offering.
But the Sin Offering and the
00:07:56.01\00:08:00.65
Trespass
Offerings are mandatory.
00:08:00.68\00:08:02.54
If you sin, you
must bring either
00:08:02.57\00:08:04.71
Sin Offering or
Trespass Offering.
00:08:04.74\00:08:06.70
Trespass Offerings are
exactly the same thing with the
00:08:06.73\00:08:09.31
Sin Offering but
adding on the retribution.
00:08:09.34\00:08:18.19
If you break holy things
or if you stolen or break
00:08:18.22\00:08:21.95
someone else's properties,
so you have to reattribute.
00:08:21.98\00:08:26.07
How do you say?
00:08:26.10\00:08:28.16
Restitution.
00:08:28.19\00:08:29.16
Restitution. Thank you.
00:08:29.17\00:08:30.17
You see as I told
you, English is still my
00:08:30.20\00:08:32.70
second language.
They have to double like
00:08:32.73\00:08:37.29
one fifth of the
whole worth of the property.
00:08:37.32\00:08:41.33
The Sin Offering supposedly
be offered when we sin.
00:08:43.02\00:08:50.40
Individual sin offerings, spill
blood of the sacrificial animal,
00:08:50.43\00:08:59.07
will not go into the holy place
but is sprinkled around the
00:08:59.10\00:09:05.50
altar of the Burnt Offering.
But when the Sin Offering
00:09:05.53\00:09:09.07
was offered for the whole
congregation, then the blood
00:09:09.10\00:09:13.45
should be brought into
the holy place by the priest
00:09:13.48\00:09:16.97
to be sprinkled seven
times before the veil.
00:09:17.00\00:09:19.40
Not on the veil
but before the veil.
00:09:19.43\00:09:20.94
That symbolize the recording
of our sins in the book of Sin
00:09:20.97\00:09:25.26
in heavenly records. Now
the Burnt Offering has to do
00:09:25.29\00:09:30.87
with our conversion experience.
If we as the people of God
00:09:30.90\00:09:35.14
really understand about
this differentiations of the
00:09:35.17\00:09:37.69
offerings, we will not have
any space for the new theology
00:09:37.72\00:09:42.81
or compromise Gospel at all.
00:09:42.84\00:09:45.19
Burnt Offering has to do
with our conversion experience.
00:09:45.22\00:09:48.80
When you confess your
sins over the lamb and kill it,
00:09:48.83\00:09:52.38
not only that, you
have to filet the skins
00:09:52.41\00:09:55.47
representing the
righteousness of Jesus Christ.
00:09:55.50\00:09:58.40
Then open the belly and
take all the organs out,
00:09:58.43\00:10:01.51
cut out, and
wash them into water.
00:10:01.54\00:10:03.34
Cut it up into pieces and then
put them on the altar in order
00:10:03.37\00:10:08.93
and burn them up. I
don't have time to explain all
00:10:08.96\00:10:11.49
these things in
detail. There has to do
00:10:11.52\00:10:13.37
with our total
conversion experience.
00:10:13.40\00:10:16.52
Even though we
confessed all our sins,
00:10:16.55\00:10:18.32
we have to open
our hearts and say,
00:10:18.35\00:10:20.04
Lord, if there's any
hidden sins within my soul,
00:10:20.07\00:10:22.55
please find it and
search it and cleanse me.
00:10:22.58\00:10:25.05
It takes whole true conversion
experience illustrated there.
00:10:25.71\00:10:30.07
The Peace Offering has
to do with the function of
00:10:30.10\00:10:33.04
Jesus Christ the Priest.
Because in the Peace Offering,
00:10:33.07\00:10:35.22
we have to give the part
of shoulder and two cheeks
00:10:35.25\00:10:38.52
and the heart at the bosom. Why?
00:10:38.55\00:10:42.34
As soon as we give
ourselves to Jesus Christ,
00:10:42.37\00:10:45.15
by the way, the Burnt Offering
represents our dedication.
00:10:45.18\00:10:49.05
The Peace Offering has to do
with the Thanksgiving Offering.
00:10:49.73\00:10:52.32
Since we are forgiven
and accepted by Jesus Christ,
00:10:52.35\00:10:57.38
we establish atonement
which is peace with God.
00:10:57.41\00:11:02.16
Then Jesus Christ will
put us on His shoulder.
00:11:02.19\00:11:05.73
We become His burden.
He's going to take care
00:11:05.76\00:11:08.66
of our life. Then
we give our hearts to
00:11:08.69\00:11:12.96
Jesus Christ, our bosom.
We give the both of our cheeks
00:11:12.99\00:11:17.35
which means we follow
the orders of Jesus Christ.
00:11:17.38\00:11:20.59
When someone hits
me on one of my cheeks,
00:11:20.62\00:11:23.48
and I turn the other
cheek which means that symbolize
00:11:23.51\00:11:26.84
we are following Jesus
Christ in His footsteps.
00:11:26.87\00:11:31.04
Trespass Offering has to
do with the retributions.
00:11:31.07\00:11:35.27
I think I should stop
otherwise it may go on and on.
00:11:35.30\00:11:40.57
Thank you. That's
all I have to say.
00:11:40.60\00:11:43.26
That was good wasn't it?
00:11:44.36\00:11:45.43
Amen!
00:11:45.46\00:11:46.89
So I just have a
quick follow up question.
00:11:46.92\00:11:49.01
Is this something
that we need to continue?
00:11:49.04\00:11:51.95
Maybe the viewers are thinking
that we continue now to do
00:11:51.98\00:11:55.32
sacrifices and maybe
amongst friends we get together
00:11:55.35\00:12:00.33
and offer burnt offerings now.
Is it something we still do?
00:12:00.36\00:12:03.23
Thank you very much Christian.
00:12:03.26\00:12:06.50
That's why I need a
fluent English speaking friend
00:12:06.53\00:12:11.18
sitting beside me to
help me to elaborate.
00:12:11.21\00:12:14.22
Of course
according to the Bible,
00:12:16.06\00:12:17.79
this ritual, the sacrificial
lamb in the courtyard,
00:12:17.82\00:12:22.65
has been ceased.
However, the spiritual
00:12:22.68\00:12:25.65
application still
stands for you and I today!
00:12:25.68\00:12:28.51
That's right.
00:12:28.54\00:12:29.51
We must have burnt
offering every day!
00:12:29.52\00:12:31.32
That is why God ordered the
people of Israel to give burnt
00:12:31.35\00:12:34.66
offering twenty
four hours a day.
00:12:34.69\00:12:36.48
Which means once in the
morning and once in the evening.
00:12:36.51\00:12:38.75
Which means the fragrance
is suppose to go up to heaven
00:12:38.78\00:12:41.92
twenty four hours a day.
That means the dedication
00:12:41.95\00:12:45.41
of daily lives of the
people of Israel at that time.
00:12:45.44\00:12:48.57
Which means that burning of the
fat of the animal smells bad.
00:12:48.60\00:12:55.04
The Bible says it becomes
a sweet fragrance to God,
00:12:55.07\00:12:58.30
because that means a
forsaking of our sins.
00:12:58.33\00:13:01.91
That's right. Amen.
00:13:01.94\00:13:02.91
Thank you.
00:13:03.30\00:13:04.27
How is salvation considered
a free gift if really it
00:13:05.30\00:13:09.99
costs us everything?
00:13:10.02\00:13:11.84
That's a good one.
Maybe I'll start to field
00:13:14.92\00:13:17.03
this one. How is
it free if it cost
00:13:17.06\00:13:21.13
us everything? As
a converted heathen
00:13:21.16\00:13:24.25
and that's what basically I am,
00:13:24.28\00:13:26.73
when Jesus came into my life,
He said, "Christian, I want you
00:13:27.71\00:13:33.40
to give up some things.
" "Okay Lord, what's that?"
00:13:33.43\00:13:36.51
"I have this free gift
for you and if you accept it,
00:13:37.34\00:13:41.02
it's going to
cost you everything. "
00:13:41.05\00:13:43.62
"Like what Lord?"
"How about all of the pain
00:13:43.65\00:13:49.19
in your life?" "I
have to give that up?"
00:13:49.22\00:13:52.78
That was an easy one, amen?
00:13:52.81\00:13:54.81
Amen.
00:13:54.84\00:13:55.81
"And your preconceived ideas.
You have to give those up. "
00:13:55.82\00:14:00.28
"How about your temper?" My
point is it costs everything
00:14:01.46\00:14:08.71
that was bad in my
life. And that is the proper
00:14:08.74\00:14:14.82
perspective when
we come to Christ.
00:14:14.85\00:14:16.75
It is a free gift,
the gift of salvation,
00:14:16.78\00:14:19.45
is free. It costs
everything that besets
00:14:19.48\00:14:23.83
us from Jesus. That's
what He want to take away.
00:14:23.86\00:14:27.53
He doesn't want to
take away anything from us
00:14:27.56\00:14:30.69
that will be for our benefit.
00:14:30.72\00:14:32.59
In other words,
He wants to give us.
00:14:32.62\00:14:36.20
It says in the
Bible. He wants to give us
00:14:36.23\00:14:38.33
every good gift more
than even mothers would want
00:14:38.36\00:14:41.51
to give a gift to
their own children.
00:14:41.54\00:14:43.08
Everything that's
good He wants to give us
00:14:43.11\00:14:45.59
but in order to give
us that, we give up sin.
00:14:45.62\00:14:49.63
You were talking about
this. What did you say about
00:14:49.66\00:14:51.90
like a laptop
and some dirty socks
00:14:51.93\00:14:53.76
or something?
00:14:53.79\00:14:54.76
Well you may as well finish it?
00:14:55.78\00:14:56.84
Go ahead.
00:14:56.87\00:14:57.84
I started it and
you can finish it.
00:14:58.71\00:15:00.15
I think what we're
talking about is like somebody
00:15:00.18\00:15:03.76
offering you something
that you may consider valuable
00:15:03.79\00:15:06.01
like a laptop or something
00:15:06.04\00:15:07.55
But it's going to
cost you your dirty socks
00:15:07.58\00:15:09.50
Why does it cost so much?
00:15:09.53\00:15:11.83
What is it that we
give up for Christ?
00:15:12.73\00:15:14.98
The devil puts in our
mind this idea that we have all
00:15:15.01\00:15:19.74
of these things we
have to give up and
00:15:19.77\00:15:22.43
it costs us everything. It
really costs us the one thing
00:15:22.46\00:15:25.39
that's killing us.
Not that our dirty socks
00:15:25.42\00:15:28.09
would be that...
But I guess it could be.
00:15:28.12\00:15:30.46
Yeah.
00:15:30.49\00:15:31.46
There's a part
2 to that question
00:15:31.83\00:15:33.40
as we experience the
free gift of salvation then.
00:15:33.43\00:15:37.00
Is it really possible to
be without sin while we are
00:15:37.33\00:15:41.01
here on earth?
00:15:41.04\00:15:42.01
It's a very tough question.
But I would like to inject
00:15:44.28\00:15:46.83
this short comments on that.
I believe that when Jesus Christ
00:15:46.86\00:15:53.35
said to a woman who
was caught in adultery.
00:15:53.38\00:15:58.87
"Neither do I condemn
thee. Go and sin no more. "
00:15:58.90\00:16:06.45
Jesus Christ meant
seriously and literally.
00:16:06.48\00:16:13.28
Chapter 3 of 1st John says, "If
the seed of God is within us,
00:16:13.31\00:16:19.68
not only we do not
sin, but we cannot sin. "
00:16:19.71\00:16:23.81
As I shared with you in one
of the sessions that I don't
00:16:23.84\00:16:28.65
think I am able to
sin against my wife.
00:16:28.68\00:16:32.78
I'm not able to sin
against my children.
00:16:32.81\00:16:35.48
That is impossibilty we
are talking about because
00:16:35.51\00:16:40.40
I love them. If
we fall in love with
00:16:40.43\00:16:43.70
Jesus Christ with all our
might and with all our hearts,
00:16:43.73\00:16:47.15
Yes, we can stop
sinning right now.
00:16:47.18\00:16:50.79
That's the
promise of Jesus Christ.
00:16:50.82\00:16:53.18
Looking in the book of
Joshua in the seventh chapter,
00:16:54.18\00:16:57.00
it speaks about the
experience of Achan.
00:16:57.03\00:16:59.32
The question is why did
Achan who was punished by death
00:16:59.35\00:17:03.67
or why was he punished by
death even after he confessed
00:17:03.70\00:17:06.68
in detail what he did?
Aren't we suppose to confess
00:17:06.71\00:17:10.34
our sins to God?
00:17:10.37\00:17:11.42
I think we can parallel
that with a number of stories.
00:17:12.15\00:17:16.79
One would be Judas.
Judas confessed his sins.
00:17:16.82\00:17:21.18
If you remember,
he threw those pieces
00:17:21.21\00:17:24.16
of silver... back
at the priest, and said
00:17:24.19\00:17:27.08
I betrayed an innocent
man. What did Judas do?
00:17:27.11\00:17:33.79
He went and hung
himself. If you take Peter,
00:17:33.82\00:17:36.93
Peter denied his
Lord and Saviour.
00:17:36.96\00:17:40.32
What did he do?
Peter went out on that
00:17:40.35\00:17:43.80
same rock that Christ
went out in Gethsemane
00:17:43.83\00:17:47.39
and poured his heart
out to his Saviour, Amen?
00:17:47.42\00:17:50.36
There's a difference there.
If you remember in the story
00:17:51.56\00:17:56.79
of Achan in the Old Testament,
he stole I think a couple
00:17:56.82\00:18:00.03
of Babylonish garments.
You might be looking up for it.
00:18:00.06\00:18:03.00
A silver maybe a
gold or something.
00:18:04.83\00:18:06.21
He hid it underneath the tent.
Isn't it amazing that if you
00:18:06.24\00:18:13.93
look at the battle
there, they lost the battle!
00:18:13.96\00:18:16.71
They lost the battle
and when they came back,
00:18:16.74\00:18:20.60
it was said there
is sin in the camp.
00:18:20.63\00:18:22.53
And then they start looking
out but Achan did not say,
00:18:23.64\00:18:26.93
"It was me. " What
happened was once they
00:18:26.96\00:18:29.41
start drawing
lots, he got caught.
00:18:29.44\00:18:32.76
It's kind of like your children.
If there's a cookie jar
00:18:33.57\00:18:37.35
and you've got this
chocolate chip or carob chip,
00:18:37.38\00:18:40.31
They aren't
supposed to have them,
00:18:40.34\00:18:42.16
the cookies. But they took some.
00:18:42.19\00:18:44.81
They didn't say
anything to mom and dad.
00:18:44.84\00:18:46.23
They got it all over
the face. And you say,
00:18:46.26\00:18:48.74
Johnny, did you
have any cookies?
00:18:48.77\00:18:52.05
No. He thinks he's sneaky
00:18:52.64\00:18:54.62
because it's
already being eaten up.
00:18:54.65\00:18:56.04
But the
"tell-tell" signs are there.
00:18:56.64\00:18:58.55
When you show him
on the mirror his face,
00:18:58.58\00:19:01.06
he starts crying
because you caught him now.
00:19:01.09\00:19:03.62
Is he surrendered? Or
is it he is sorry because
00:19:03.65\00:19:06.71
he got caught and he's
going to get a trimming?
00:19:06.74\00:19:08.04
Or some kind of
disciplinary action.
00:19:09.12\00:19:10.79
There's a big difference there.
00:19:10.82\00:19:12.65
I like to
mention something here.
00:19:12.68\00:19:14.70
Sometimes I call
that too late repentance.
00:19:14.73\00:19:18.61
The people at the time of Noah,
everybody in this world repented
00:19:18.64\00:19:25.64
when they saw the
rain that actually came.
00:19:25.67\00:19:29.27
They begin to
pound the door and said,
00:19:29.30\00:19:31.12
"Noah, please open
the door. We repent.
00:19:31.15\00:19:34.32
and now we
realized and we accept.
00:19:34.35\00:19:35.32
God's judgement
and His prophecy.
00:19:35.35\00:19:38.14
The reason God did
not allow them to come in.
00:19:38.17\00:19:41.55
If it was necessary and
if Noah was able to do that,
00:19:41.58\00:19:46.43
he could've wanted to get
all the animals out and take
00:19:46.46\00:19:52.50
all his friends in.
But God shut the door.
00:19:52.53\00:19:55.13
Why? God knew that after the
00:19:55.16\00:19:57.35
judgement pass
away, these people
00:19:57.38\00:19:59.59
either to come out in exactly
go back to the same state
00:19:59.62\00:20:03.93
as they were.
That's why the repentance
00:20:03.96\00:20:07.08
of too late cannot
be accepted by God.
00:20:07.11\00:20:09.33
That's right.
00:20:09.36\00:20:10.33
To bring it home in
just in a practical way
00:20:10.99\00:20:13.77
when my children, if
they do something wrong,
00:20:13.80\00:20:17.57
I've had different experiences.
I'm sure any parent can testify
00:20:17.60\00:20:20.37
to this. When a Christian parent
00:20:20.40\00:20:22.96
who's trying to raise
your child nurturing admonition
00:20:22.99\00:20:27.04
of the Lord. For
them to be accountable
00:20:27.07\00:20:30.92
to God not to me,
but accountable to God
00:20:30.95\00:20:34.56
even as young children.
There are times when my children
00:20:34.59\00:20:37.19
have come to me and said,
"Daddy, I need to talk to you. "
00:20:37.22\00:20:41.26
I know something heavy is about
to come out of their mouth.
00:20:41.29\00:20:45.69
They'll say, "You
don't even know this but I
00:20:45.72\00:20:49.17
did blank.
00:20:49.20\00:20:51.38
I just wanted to tell
you I want to pray to Jesus.
00:20:52.52\00:20:54.98
I'm sorry for it. I've
already prayed to Jesus
00:20:55.01\00:20:57.26
but I wanted you to
know. " What does that do
00:20:57.29\00:20:59.97
to a father's
heart? Wow, praise God!
00:21:00.00\00:21:04.41
I'm willing to
forgive anything. Amen?
00:21:04.44\00:21:07.20
Amen.
00:21:07.23\00:21:08.20
What's the
difference when that same child,
00:21:08.21\00:21:10.31
like you were saying
Dwight with the cookie jar.
00:21:10.34\00:21:13.45
Then I catch them and
then you're almost having to
00:21:13.48\00:21:17.44
convince them
that they did wrong.
00:21:17.47\00:21:19.42
This is exactly what
you are talking about.
00:21:19.45\00:21:21.53
God's not in the
business when judgement is set,
00:21:21.56\00:21:25.99
judgement is
set. Everyone has made
00:21:26.02\00:21:27.98
their decision. Achan
had made his decision.
00:21:28.01\00:21:30.46
That's why there is a purpose
of resurrecting the wicked
00:21:30.49\00:21:34.32
people at the
second resurrection.
00:21:34.35\00:21:36.75
And show the universe
that no matter what God does,
00:21:36.78\00:21:40.46
even though they repent
in their mind intellectually
00:21:40.49\00:21:44.13
because they see the
presence of God and holy angels
00:21:44.16\00:21:47.61
and their power... their
characters can never be changed.
00:21:47.64\00:21:52.84
So that's the
purpose of resurrecting the
00:21:52.87\00:21:55.07
wicked people.
00:21:55.10\00:21:56.07
That's right. In
fact the Antidiluvians are
00:21:56.09\00:21:57.13
going to be there.
00:21:57.16\00:21:58.33
There's a passage in
the book of 2 Corinthians 7
00:22:00.58\00:22:04.15
where Paul contrast
these two types of repentance.
00:22:04.18\00:22:07.24
He says in 2 Corinthians 7:9
00:22:07.27\00:22:12.29
He implies that
there's a repentance that needs
00:22:30.23\00:22:32.47
to be regretted. This
one doesn't because it's
00:22:32.50\00:22:34.69
godly sorrow that
produces true repentance.
00:22:34.72\00:22:36.91
This was the sorrow of
Achan. He was sad because
00:22:40.41\00:22:43.10
he got caught. The
Bible says in Proverbs 28:13.
00:22:43.13\00:22:47.24
He who covers his
sins will not prosper.
00:22:47.27\00:22:49.74
But he who confesses and
forsakes them shall have mercy.
00:22:49.77\00:22:53.36
True repentance includes
a change of heart and the
00:22:53.39\00:22:55.74
desire to forsake sin.
So the Bible speaks of times
00:22:55.77\00:22:58.55
when people have confessed.
We can think of Esau who
00:22:58.58\00:23:02.90
the Bible says in
the book of Hebrews,
00:23:02.93\00:23:04.42
repented with tears.
Or rather he was sorrowful
00:23:04.45\00:23:07.00
with tears and he suffered
but He couldn't be found.
00:23:07.03\00:23:09.91
That's right.
00:23:09.94\00:23:10.91
There's a kind or
repentance that people have when
00:23:10.92\00:23:12.71
they get caught. That
was Achan's repentance.
00:23:12.74\00:23:15.00
That's why his repentance
didn't lead to his salvation.
00:23:15.03\00:23:18.60
I know one other thing
that I listen to a speaker that
00:23:18.63\00:23:22.87
I've heard many times.
He said that many times with
00:23:22.90\00:23:26.99
repentance and we ask
for forgiveness of sin,
00:23:27.02\00:23:30.35
it's kind of like we're
crawling on our hands and knees
00:23:30.38\00:23:33.15
asking the Lord to forgive
us our sins but looking back
00:23:33.18\00:23:35.73
hoping that sin
will catch up with us.
00:23:35.76\00:23:38.28
Because we really
don't want to get rid of it.
00:23:38.31\00:23:40.21
Because we're
really truly not repenting.
00:23:40.24\00:23:42.36
There's a big difference there.
Looks like we might have room
00:23:42.39\00:23:45.65
for one more
question. Let's try this one.
00:23:45.68\00:23:48.90
A very simple one.
Why did Peter sink?
00:23:48.93\00:23:53.66
What a question! Out
of the mouth of babes!
00:23:58.85\00:24:00.80
In fact I think the penmanship
is that of a young person.
00:24:03.32\00:24:06.26
So it's a very
important question.
00:24:06.29\00:24:07.64
Why did Peter sink?
We're told that if we keep
00:24:07.67\00:24:11.91
our eyes fixed on Jesus
who is leading us to the City,
00:24:11.94\00:24:17.03
we will be safe.
We put that in context
00:24:17.06\00:24:21.15
to the story.
Peter wants to walk
00:24:21.18\00:24:24.80
on the water. He
sees the Son of God
00:24:24.83\00:24:27.55
walking on the water. He
says, "Can I walk out to you?"
00:24:27.58\00:24:30.87
I'd probably ask the same
thing because that would be
00:24:30.90\00:24:33.05
very awesome. As
the billows came up
00:24:33.08\00:24:37.94
of the rolling, the
trials of life if you will.
00:24:37.97\00:24:43.47
The obstacles in a Christian
life start to come up between
00:24:43.50\00:24:46.63
him and His Lord. He loses sight
00:24:46.66\00:24:49.44
of Jesus who is sustaining him
and keeping him on the water.
00:24:49.48\00:24:54.11
Overcoming the laws of this
planet to where He should sink
00:24:54.15\00:24:58.08
by stepping on the water. So
it is with our Christian life.
00:24:58.11\00:25:02.01
If we don't keep
our eyes fixed on Jesus,
00:25:02.04\00:25:05.03
we will sink below and
be swallowed up by sin.
00:25:05.06\00:25:09.64
Peter began to look
at the trials and he
00:25:10.55\00:25:12.61
began to sin if you
will because of the trial.
00:25:12.64\00:25:15.66
He didn't keep his eyes
fixed on Jesus and he would
00:25:15.69\00:25:19.42
have been saved. He
would have been able
00:25:19.46\00:25:21.14
to come all the way
to the hand of Jesus.
00:25:21.18\00:25:23.29
So this is with
us. If we keep our eyes
00:25:23.32\00:25:25.45
fixed on Jesus,
we will be able to be
00:25:25.48\00:25:27.54
welcomed all the way into
heaven by the hand of Jesus.
00:25:27.58\00:25:31.72
So we can't allow... Peter
sinked because He took his eyes
00:25:31.76\00:25:35.87
off of Jesus. He started looking
00:25:35.90\00:25:37.18
at the
circumstances and the problems.
00:25:37.22\00:25:38.70
Instead of telling
the problems, the waves,
00:25:38.74\00:25:41.24
how big His God was,
he started telling Jesus
00:25:41.27\00:25:43.74
if you will how
big the waves were.
00:25:43.77\00:25:45.84
Hello?
00:25:45.87\00:25:47.24
In our lives, how many
times... like to say it
00:25:47.28\00:25:49.68
this when you've
heard this before I'm sure,
00:25:49.72\00:25:51.51
I don't want people and
I don't want to and I teach
00:25:51.54\00:25:54.05
my children this.
Don't tell Jesus how big
00:25:54.09\00:25:57.32
and so many of our
prayers are telling Jesus about
00:25:57.36\00:26:00.05
all of our problems.
That's not what our prayers
00:26:00.09\00:26:02.75
need to be. Our
prayers need to be,
00:26:02.78\00:26:04.41
Father, God in heaven,
00:26:04.45\00:26:06.11
this trial is here but You
are bigger than this trial.
00:26:06.15\00:26:09.57
You can get me through
because you have promised.
00:26:09.60\00:26:12.88
Read off the promises.
We have to tell the problems
00:26:12.92\00:26:16.16
how big our God is
and not tell Jesus how big
00:26:16.20\00:26:20.34
your problems are.
00:26:20.38\00:26:21.37
That's right. Ten seconds.
00:26:21.41\00:26:23.39
and I'd like to tell
you Christian viewers
00:26:23.43\00:26:26.31
that this is the time you need
00:26:26.34\00:26:27.65
to call the host of the Remnant
Publications. Order the book
00:26:27.68\00:26:31.04
called Desire of Ages. I
don't know how to tell you
00:26:31.07\00:26:33.96
the life of Jesus Christ.
That is the best comments
00:26:34.00\00:26:37.69
I've ever seen as a pastor
regarding to this instance!
00:26:37.72\00:26:41.38
That's right.
We'll just take one more
00:26:41.41\00:26:46.33
thing also on
that boisterous wind.
00:26:46.37\00:26:50.55
What in the
Bible is wind? Strife.
00:26:50.59\00:26:54.87
Like you said
Christian... Listen.
00:26:54.90\00:26:59.12
Don't take your eyes off Jesus.
Is that a good way to end it?
00:26:59.15\00:27:03.46
Don't take your eyes off Jesus.
I am so glad that you join us.
00:27:03.50\00:27:07.77
I'm excited!
00:27:07.80\00:27:08.77
This is energized
me. Has it not you?
00:27:08.82\00:27:11.50
I'm so thankful that
Pastor Kang and Christian
00:27:11.54\00:27:14.78
and also you Debbie and
that the seat wasn't too hot.
00:27:14.82\00:27:17.95
I'm glad that you
stayed with us and watched.
00:27:17.99\00:27:19.91

or like to email us or going to
00:27:19.94\00:27:23.14

00:27:30.40\00:27:33.34
By working together,
1.7 Million copies of the
00:27:33.37\00:27:37.01
Passion of Love were
distributed around the country,
00:27:37.05\00:27:39.97
resulting in an unprecedented
partnership with Wal-Mart.
00:27:40.01\00:27:42.90
That lead to a
thousand Bible studies.
00:27:42.93\00:27:45.82
By working together,
over 6 Million copies of the
00:27:46.68\00:27:49.76
Ten Commandments Twice Removed
were shared around the world.
00:27:49.79\00:27:53.13
Resulting in more than
20 churches now keeping
00:27:53.17\00:27:56.02
the Bible Sabbath.
By working together,
00:27:56.05\00:27:58.83
we have shipped almost a
million Bibles to spiritually
00:27:58.87\00:28:02.25
thirsty Christians in Africa.
Touching the lives of 20 Million
00:28:02.28\00:28:05.95
people for Christ.
Working together is what allows
00:28:05.98\00:28:09.72
Remnant Publications to
spread truth filled books
00:28:09.75\00:28:13.27
around the world to

Will you join
us in that mission?
00:28:17.07\00:28:18.88
Will you help us reach the world
for Jesus one book at a time?
