Hi, you're now with
The Forerunner Chronicles
00:00:44.51\00:00:47.38
and right now, we're out in LA,
out in Warner Brothers Studios
00:00:47.41\00:00:52.58
in Angus Jones' Trailer...
00:00:52.61\00:00:55.95
Angus Jones of
Two and a Half Men
00:00:55.98\00:00:57.82
and he's got a pretty awesome
testimony to share with us,
00:00:57.85\00:01:02.12
and as I said this
before, this is really...
00:01:02.16\00:01:05.03
I accept this brother...
as my brother for real
00:01:05.06\00:01:07.80
because he's
accepted the 7th day
00:01:07.83\00:01:11.33
as God's holy Sabbath day
and just a whole lot more than
00:01:11.37\00:01:15.10
what I've just told you.
00:01:15.14\00:01:16.47
Thanks for doing this
testimony with me, first of all.
00:01:16.50\00:01:18.54
Thanks man, for
having me it's awesome...
00:01:18.57\00:01:21.78
Definitely... And...
00:01:21.81\00:01:23.41
All right, just tell everybody
a little bit about things...
00:01:23.45\00:01:25.25
let them know.
00:01:25.28\00:01:26.61
Well... I'm Angus...
00:01:26.65\00:01:28.92
I was born in Austin, Texas,
00:01:28.98\00:01:31.55
and when I was about four,
00:01:31.59\00:01:35.59
four or so...
00:01:35.62\00:01:36.96
my family... my family and I
00:01:36.99\00:01:38.99
moved out here to California
00:01:39.03\00:01:41.10
because my dad was going
to start working for his uncle
00:01:41.13\00:01:44.43
and being in California,
00:01:44.50\00:01:47.20
my mom just decided,
00:01:47.24\00:01:49.90
"Hey, let's go and try
and do the 'acting thing'"
00:01:49.94\00:01:51.64
and it was one of those
things that was totally random
00:01:51.67\00:01:57.78
it wasn't anything that...
00:01:57.81\00:01:59.15
I was like, "I
wanted to be an actor"
00:01:59.18\00:02:01.05
I was four and a half, I
didn't know... anything...
00:02:01.08\00:02:03.22
and I hadn't
taken any acting classes
00:02:03.25\00:02:07.72
or anything like that, we
just went to some auditions,
00:02:07.76\00:02:11.26
some auditions for commercials,
and I ended up getting
00:02:11.29\00:02:14.76
the first few commercials
that I auditioned for
00:02:14.80\00:02:18.57
and that just kind of
continued to go from there,
00:02:18.60\00:02:22.04
and I was doing commercials
and I started doing movies
00:02:22.07\00:02:25.77
and when I was nine,
00:02:25.81\00:02:27.31
I was offered the job
here on Two and a Half Men
00:02:27.34\00:02:29.41
and all the time...
00:02:29.44\00:02:35.02
like when I first
started going to school,
00:02:35.05\00:02:38.32
when I first moved to
Ontario, I actually...
00:02:38.35\00:02:41.56
Ontario, California... Right...
00:02:41.59\00:02:42.92
I actually lived down
the street from a church
00:02:42.96\00:02:45.09
and that's like the
pre-school that I went to
00:02:45.13\00:02:47.23
the pre-school at that church
00:02:47.26\00:02:49.36
and then when I
moved up to Kindergarten,
00:02:49.40\00:02:53.34
I went to
Upland Christian School
00:02:53.37\00:02:55.97
a Non-denominational
Christian School,
00:02:56.00\00:02:58.57
I think it's called
Non-denominational...
00:02:58.61\00:03:01.11
and that was always something
00:03:01.14\00:03:03.48
that was important to my parents
00:03:03.51\00:03:05.75
that I was at a regular
school while at the same time,
00:03:05.78\00:03:09.92
doing some acting, I guess,
their idea originally was just
00:03:09.95\00:03:15.52
putting some
money away for College,
00:03:15.59\00:03:17.63
and things like that, and
so... what I would do was,
00:03:17.66\00:03:26.27
the teachers at my school
00:03:26.30\00:03:27.80
would send the work
to my teachers on Set
00:03:27.84\00:03:30.64
and then whenever
I'd go back to school,
00:03:30.67\00:03:33.41
I'd be right on
with the students,
00:03:33.44\00:03:34.94
basically, being a regular
kid with really an irregular job
00:03:34.98\00:03:39.41
and, if you want
to call it a job,
00:03:39.48\00:03:43.99
we can talk about that later,
00:03:44.02\00:03:45.35
and so, about,
00:03:45.39\00:03:52.06
going to a Christian
School it was always,
00:03:52.09\00:03:56.23
every year you get
to take a Bible Class
00:03:56.26\00:04:00.00
more or less,
00:04:00.04\00:04:02.84
you kind of reiterate
a lot of the same stuff
00:04:02.87\00:04:06.07
over the years,
and I knew basic stuff
00:04:06.11\00:04:11.51
stories of Jesus, I
knew, really, basics...
00:04:11.55\00:04:14.82
and we would do Bible verses
and all sorts of stuff like that
00:04:14.85\00:04:18.75
and when I was in Kindergarten,
00:04:18.79\00:04:20.12
I remember, saying the prayer
to accept Jesus into my heart
00:04:20.16\00:04:23.32
during the weekly
chapel service at our school
00:04:23.36\00:04:25.59
but, God and the
Bible and Christianity
00:04:25.63\00:04:31.73
was always just
something that was at my school.
00:04:31.77\00:04:33.57
We didn't go to church
on Sundays... very rarely...
00:04:33.60\00:04:36.71
if it was Easter, we
would go with the family,
00:04:36.74\00:04:38.51
Right... and we didn't
00:04:38.54\00:04:40.14
pray before dinner
00:04:40.18\00:04:41.68
we didn't read the
Bible at home together
00:04:41.71\00:04:44.05
it was just... I had
Bible Class at School.
00:04:44.08\00:04:46.35
Right... and
before my Junior year
00:04:46.41\00:04:49.35
in High School, one
of my cousins, Jordan,
00:04:49.38\00:04:52.69
introduced me into
weed, I started smoking weed,
00:04:52.72\00:04:57.89
and when... just like
through all my Junior year
00:04:57.93\00:05:03.06
it was just like... that was...
00:05:03.10\00:05:05.97
my time became more
spent on being with friends,
00:05:06.03\00:05:09.27
and as not dealing with
family issues as much as I could
00:05:09.30\00:05:16.95
and devoting my time to
video games, friends and music,
00:05:16.98\00:05:24.62
and then, the
summer of my Senior year,
00:05:24.65\00:05:34.26
I started doing "acid"
00:05:34.30\00:05:38.33
that was pretty
much the stereotypical...
00:05:38.37\00:05:41.44
like this drug
can change the world,
00:05:41.47\00:05:43.07
like if this was
legal... like people...
00:05:43.10\00:05:45.07
everyone would be different,
00:05:45.11\00:05:46.51
Right... I was that guy.
00:05:46.54\00:05:47.88
I was, kind of,
being a little bit material
00:05:47.91\00:05:50.25
I liked... I got a nice car,
I had so many speeding tickets,
00:05:50.28\00:05:55.55
thank God that I've
never done an accident,
00:05:55.58\00:05:57.69
I bought some stuff
00:05:57.72\00:05:59.59
so that I could have a cool
recording set up in my room,
00:05:59.62\00:06:02.22
and I like taking
photos doing all this...
00:06:02.26\00:06:07.86
kind of artsy stuff,
00:06:07.90\00:06:09.23
and just kind of doing things,
just like... I don't know...
00:06:09.26\00:06:16.10
and I just... I
was unaware of it,
00:06:16.14\00:06:19.91
but I was just kind
of on a downward trend,
00:06:19.94\00:06:24.41
just like... just
kind of doing like...
00:06:24.45\00:06:28.88
I don't know...
living for myself,
00:06:28.92\00:06:31.79
really not
concerning myself with family,
00:06:31.82\00:06:35.16
with anything outside
of... what was helping me out.
00:06:35.19\00:06:39.69
I wasn't using,
what I had been given
00:06:39.73\00:06:42.33
to help others...
really... to an extent,
00:06:42.36\00:06:44.87
I did kind of like the stereo...
00:06:44.90\00:06:47.24
I'll say
stereotypical on this one,
00:06:47.30\00:06:49.54
stereotypical-like celebrity...
00:06:49.57\00:06:51.54
throw some money at a cause
00:06:51.57\00:06:53.48
and they give you
some kind of recognition,
00:06:53.51\00:06:55.91
Yeah... yeah... it's bad...
00:06:55.94\00:06:57.45
and that's... I
mean... I would help out...
00:06:57.48\00:07:01.62
I did some stuff
for St. Jude's...
00:07:01.65\00:07:04.85
Children's Hospital...
and things like that,
00:07:04.92\00:07:07.42
but they never...
it never really...
00:07:07.46\00:07:09.26
it never really
felt important to me,
00:07:09.32\00:07:11.09
and I always... just like...
00:07:11.13\00:07:12.46
it was always one of
those things that was almost...
00:07:12.49\00:07:14.86
it was a little
bit foreign to me,
00:07:14.90\00:07:17.90
I don't know how to
describe it other than that.
00:07:17.93\00:07:21.07
December 27th of
this last year, I was...
00:07:21.10\00:07:27.14
a friend of mine
and I were talking
00:07:27.18\00:07:29.81
about future plans for like...
00:07:29.84\00:07:32.91
business ideas we had
00:07:32.95\00:07:34.28
and things we were going to...
00:07:34.32\00:07:35.98
things we thought
we were going to do.
00:07:36.02\00:07:38.62
What you're saying...
talking about maybe...
00:07:38.65\00:07:40.39
doing some types of things with
artists and things like that?
00:07:40.42\00:07:42.26
Yeah... it was going to be
some kind of artists' group
00:07:42.29\00:07:46.19
it's somewhere...
we didn't really know
00:07:46.23\00:07:48.76
we had a lot of
ideas... Right...
00:07:48.80\00:07:51.37
but we were just talking about
00:07:51.40\00:07:53.90
like what was
going to be like...
00:07:53.94\00:07:56.20
what was going to be the slogan
00:07:56.24\00:07:58.34
or what would we write on it
if we were going to have clothes
00:07:58.37\00:08:00.64
what would our theme...
kind of be... stuff like that...
00:08:00.68\00:08:03.14
Right... and I had said that,
00:08:03.18\00:08:06.55
God is definitely a part of this
00:08:06.58\00:08:09.75
and it was like... kind of
hit me real well... I was like,
00:08:09.78\00:08:12.95
"No... no... God is
the center of all this,
00:08:12.99\00:08:15.42
God is the
reason for all this. "
00:08:15.46\00:08:17.13
And right when I had said
that, I just had this feeling,
00:08:17.16\00:08:23.06
this feeling of warmth,
00:08:23.10\00:08:27.14
acceptance, love,
00:08:27.17\00:08:28.54
I can't even...
it's one of those things
00:08:28.57\00:08:30.54
the best way I
can describe it is...
00:08:30.57\00:08:32.51
it's being hugged by
your most person ever
00:08:32.57\00:08:36.61
but their hug...
like they're able to hug
00:08:36.64\00:08:40.65
every single part of your being,
00:08:40.68\00:08:42.88
and it was just
one of those things
00:08:42.95\00:08:44.85
I was like... I told...
00:08:44.89\00:08:46.22
I sat there and I
told him... and I was like,
00:08:46.25\00:08:47.82
"Man, I just feel
like I accepted God,
00:08:47.86\00:08:49.62
I feel like I just
accepted God in my life... "
00:08:49.66\00:08:52.83
and I was like...
kind of... I guess like...
00:08:52.86\00:08:56.87
one of the steps
toward my change of lifestyle,
00:08:56.90\00:09:00.90
of life... and
my cousin, Jordan,
00:09:00.94\00:09:05.04
the same cousin that I
first started smoking weed with,
00:09:05.07\00:09:08.41
he had been woken up by God
00:09:08.44\00:09:10.01
in almost a similar
fashion that I had been...
00:09:10.05\00:09:14.65
a few months before,
00:09:14.68\00:09:16.05
so I had been
talking to him recently
00:09:16.08\00:09:17.65
about when it came to
God and the celebrity,
00:09:17.69\00:09:22.39
the Angus Jones celebrity,
00:09:22.42\00:09:23.76
like, would it be possible
to create a celebrity status
00:09:23.79\00:09:29.26
that made God
appealing to people,
00:09:29.30\00:09:34.67
Right... and we
were just discussing that
00:09:34.70\00:09:37.17
and so...
00:09:37.21\00:09:41.81
that was kind of
during that January...
00:09:41.84\00:09:43.75
that was kind of where
I was... more in my mind,
00:09:43.78\00:09:46.48
what I was thinking about...
00:09:46.51\00:09:47.85
So you guys could
see in which direction
00:09:47.88\00:09:49.35
you were going to go
with everything at this point.
00:09:49.38\00:09:52.05
Yeah... yeah... then,
September, not September...
00:09:52.09\00:09:54.76
January 22nd, it
was a Saturday night,
00:09:54.79\00:09:58.39
another friend of
mine, John Peņa and I
00:09:58.43\00:10:01.96
were actually in this
room talking... and...
00:10:02.00\00:10:05.80
at that time I didn't know
00:10:05.83\00:10:08.20
whether or not I was
going to do this show,
00:10:08.27\00:10:09.60
or... if I was
00:10:09.64\00:10:11.87
if I was going to go to college,
00:10:11.91\00:10:13.38
or if I was going to do neither,
00:10:13.41\00:10:14.74
and I had asked him what he
thought about doing the show,
00:10:14.81\00:10:18.38
if he would do it if
he was in my position,
00:10:18.41\00:10:20.08
he said, simply,
00:10:20.12\00:10:21.45
simply for the money
00:10:21.48\00:10:23.62
he would... he would do it
00:10:23.65\00:10:25.12
because his
family was struggling
00:10:25.15\00:10:27.16
and it's just like...
00:10:27.19\00:10:29.22
Well basically, he pretty
much told you to compromise.
00:10:29.26\00:10:33.40
Yeah... he said,
basically he would do it,
00:10:33.43\00:10:37.97
he would do it
because... because of the money,
00:10:38.00\00:10:41.64
because of the situation
that he was in with his family.
00:10:41.70\00:10:43.81
Right... My
friend John, you know,
00:10:43.87\00:10:45.44
he was the friend that...
his family was struggling
00:10:45.47\00:10:49.44
they were in a position
to maybe lose their house
00:10:49.48\00:10:53.38
their vehicles,
things... it was a...
00:10:53.42\00:10:55.95
his family was going
through some hard times,
00:10:55.98\00:10:58.49
and he said,
simply for the money,
00:10:58.52\00:10:59.89
he would do that
00:10:59.92\00:11:01.69
because he would be
able to help out his family
00:11:01.72\00:11:03.26
in a very serious way,
00:11:03.29\00:11:05.06
and that hit me
00:11:05.09\00:11:07.76
in an interesting way
00:11:07.80\00:11:09.13
because, you know,
my friend, John is...
00:11:09.16\00:11:10.90
he's an extremely
talented guitarist,
00:11:10.93\00:11:13.87
but he doesn't even have an Amp
to play his electric guitar with
00:11:13.94\00:11:18.71
so it was just...
kind of... I was like...
00:11:18.77\00:11:20.28
"Wow, look at me, I'm
sitting here in this room,
00:11:20.31\00:11:22.54
I have dusty equipment,
00:11:22.58\00:11:25.65
and I have very nice
things just sitting around
00:11:25.68\00:11:29.72
like they're food or
whatever like it is nothing,
00:11:29.75\00:11:33.89
like it's nothing...
and... that just kind of made me
00:11:33.92\00:11:39.93
like... just like...
wow! I'm really a loser,
00:11:39.96\00:11:42.36
and then I told John...
00:11:42.40\00:11:44.23
we were talking
about the concepts of...
00:11:44.27\00:11:47.47
if I was to do the show again,
00:11:47.50\00:11:51.31
I could try and
be a witness for God,
00:11:51.37\00:11:54.54
almost through...
through just kind of being...
00:11:54.58\00:11:58.81
being in the public eye.
00:11:58.85\00:12:00.18
I was like a celebrity
almost, like, you know...
00:12:00.22\00:12:03.02
Right... I could
still be... who I was...
00:12:03.08\00:12:05.85
who I was in a sense...
00:12:05.89\00:12:07.22
But still continuing to be like
"Jake on Two and a half Men"
00:12:07.26\00:12:11.09
now a servant of
Jesus Christ. Exactly.
00:12:11.13\00:12:13.40
Yeah, exactly, and so he
was asking me these questions,
00:12:13.46\00:12:16.60
he's like, "Well, if you're
going to do that, how about... "
00:12:16.63\00:12:18.77
he was just asking me
questions about my life.
00:12:18.80\00:12:20.64
I was just like... "Well yeah,
I'll have to change that...
00:12:20.67\00:12:22.84
well, yeah, I
have to change that...
00:12:22.87\00:12:24.51
well, yeah, I'll
have to change that,
00:12:24.54\00:12:26.17
well, yeah... I have to... "
00:12:26.24\00:12:27.78
it was just like...
one thing after another...
00:12:27.81\00:12:30.21
he was asking me these questions
that were just... you know...
00:12:30.25\00:12:33.48
he wasn't
trying to take me apart
00:12:33.52\00:12:36.69
but it was breaking me down,
and you know, I realized...
00:12:36.72\00:12:41.46
I realized that it couldn't,
it wasn't my friend, John Peņa,
00:12:41.49\00:12:46.19
talking like... it wasn't...
00:12:46.23\00:12:47.86
he wasn't the one
thinking of the questions,
00:12:47.90\00:12:51.03
it wasn't him... it
had to have been God,
00:12:51.07\00:12:54.17
the Holy Spirit, or
something talking through him...
00:12:54.20\00:12:58.11
to let me know that
the position that I was in
00:12:58.14\00:13:01.68
was not where I needed to be,
00:13:01.71\00:13:03.04
for where...
God wanted me to be.
00:13:03.08\00:13:06.41
Amen...
00:13:06.45\00:13:07.78
And, I was like, all right...
00:13:07.82\00:13:09.62
I woke up the next
day and I was like,
00:13:09.68\00:13:11.29
"All right God,
what can we do today,
00:13:11.35\00:13:13.89
show me what I need
to do, how to do it,
00:13:13.92\00:13:16.42
who I can help, who I can tell,
whom I can tell about you?"
00:13:16.46\00:13:21.16
And I did some
research on the internet,
00:13:21.20\00:13:24.83
and I came to "Do's and
Don'ts" and things like that
00:13:24.87\00:13:28.60
and I went to school the next
week and had an excellent week,
00:13:28.64\00:13:31.67
I was everybody's friend,
00:13:31.71\00:13:35.74
I was just
trying to do what I can
00:13:35.78\00:13:42.75
do what I could for
any... I was doing better...
00:13:42.78\00:13:46.09
focusing on my schoolwork,
00:13:46.12\00:13:47.52
especially Bible
class and stuff like that,
00:13:47.56\00:13:49.52
focusing on my study,
00:13:49.56\00:13:50.89
and then
basically, the next weekend,
00:13:50.93\00:13:55.23
I was in the
same exact position,
00:13:55.26\00:13:58.83
I was in the same exact sins
00:13:58.87\00:14:02.40
that I was in the weekend before
00:14:02.44\00:14:04.11
and it was just
like... one of those things...
00:14:04.14\00:14:06.07
like, God spoke
to me last weekend
00:14:06.11\00:14:10.45
and I'm here in
the same exact position
00:14:10.48\00:14:14.02
I was the person
like... God told me personally
00:14:14.05\00:14:18.62
basically that He
wanted me to get it together
00:14:18.65\00:14:23.26
and I've
00:14:23.29\00:14:25.49
I've already
failed, I've already fallen,
00:14:25.53\00:14:27.53
you know, it was
just one of those things
00:14:27.56\00:14:29.53
that really frustrated me,
00:14:29.56\00:14:32.90
I figured that there
was... that I couldn't...
00:14:32.93\00:14:38.97
that was unacceptable
for me, it was bad news,
00:14:39.01\00:14:44.98
and so, after that...
00:14:45.01\00:14:47.62
I started to really start
to get into reading the Bible
00:14:47.65\00:14:53.32
and decided to look for
a church to start going to
00:14:53.36\00:14:58.39
because I went to
a Christian school,
00:14:58.43\00:14:59.76
I knew a lot of people
00:14:59.79\00:15:03.37
whose families went to
church every Sunday so...
00:15:03.40\00:15:06.10
every Sunday, I was
going to three of four churches
00:15:06.13\00:15:08.77
and I was just
looking for the right church
00:15:08.80\00:15:13.68
I heard some awesome sermons
00:15:13.71\00:15:15.38
and got some good
learning and stuff
00:15:15.41\00:15:18.45
but... I just
don't... I don't know...
00:15:18.48\00:15:20.92
there wasn't anything
that was sticking out to me
00:15:20.95\00:15:25.65
and then a friend of
mine, a friend of mine at school
00:15:25.69\00:15:30.36
had told me about...
he said a friend of his...
00:15:30.39\00:15:33.66
and this friend was the friend
00:15:33.70\00:15:36.00
that couldn't go
out on Friday nights...
00:15:36.03\00:15:37.67
Right... and things like that
00:15:37.73\00:15:39.53
and we never knew
why... and he told me...
00:15:39.57\00:15:43.61
he told about a
friend of his' church
00:15:43.64\00:15:46.17
that was... that I was
looking to go to a church
00:15:46.21\00:15:49.81
with an all-Black
congregation and kind of a...
00:15:49.84\00:15:53.42
I guess you could say...
00:15:53.45\00:15:55.18
I was looking for
a Black-gospel theme
00:15:55.22\00:15:57.49
I don't know... I
like Black people...
00:15:57.55\00:15:59.52
and I'm not afraid to say it,
00:15:59.55\00:16:04.59
and, you know, I say "Black"
00:16:04.63\00:16:09.60
I say Black because
like... I have a friend,
00:16:09.63\00:16:11.70
a friend of mine...
he was a Bible Worker
00:16:11.73\00:16:13.74
and he's Black,
and he says to me,
00:16:13.77\00:16:15.10
"I'm not African American,
00:16:15.14\00:16:16.47
I was not born in
Africa, I am Black... "
00:16:16.50\00:16:19.37
he says that to me...
00:16:19.41\00:16:20.74
and so, I'm now... I'm
not afraid, well, you know,
00:16:20.78\00:16:24.11
Black people rock...
00:16:24.15\00:16:25.81
You're good...
don't worry about that...
00:16:25.85\00:16:27.18
I have to make sure
00:16:27.22\00:16:28.55
because you know...
I know don't know...
00:16:28.58\00:16:30.82
I know some people
take things personally...
00:16:30.85\00:16:33.19
and I mean no offense
at all... whatsoever...
00:16:33.22\00:16:35.49
Right... So, anyone... you...
00:16:35.52\00:16:37.46
Angus, it's
good... Angus, it's good...
00:16:37.49\00:16:39.09
you're good, you're
good Bro... you're good...
00:16:39.16\00:16:41.26
you got to pass...
you're good, you're good.
00:16:41.30\00:16:43.40
So, I was looking to go
and this friend of a friend
00:16:43.47\00:16:51.27
who I met once,
his name was Moses...
00:16:51.31\00:16:53.48
Right... told me
about this church
00:16:53.54\00:16:55.38
and it was on
Saturday and I was like...
00:16:55.41\00:16:57.15
all right... and I...
the first day I went there,
00:16:57.18\00:16:59.25
I went by myself,
and I... the message...
00:16:59.28\00:17:03.95
like I walked in and I sat
down kind of at the back...
00:17:03.99\00:17:08.46
and the message that the
pastor was preaching that day
00:17:08.49\00:17:12.89
was tailor-made for me,
00:17:12.93\00:17:15.13
everything about the
message was me... was my life...
00:17:15.16\00:17:19.10
what I needed to
do... like the answers...
00:17:19.13\00:17:21.80
everything was me...
and it was just like...
00:17:21.84\00:17:24.34
and it was then
like... that was the church...
00:17:24.37\00:17:26.84
that was my
church... and then you know,
00:17:26.88\00:17:29.74
I started the
Bible work at the church.
00:17:29.81\00:17:33.72
Nelson Jones
started... and that's funny...
00:17:33.75\00:17:37.59
Nelson Jones was a Bible
worker and I'm Angus Jones...
00:17:37.65\00:17:39.85
he started... he came
over one day randomly...
00:17:39.89\00:17:45.73
just out of the blue...
he came over and he was like,
00:17:45.76\00:17:47.63
"Do you want a Bible
Study?" and I was like, "Sure"
00:17:47.66\00:17:49.46
and I think
that day he showed me
00:17:49.50\00:17:51.93
what the Bible
taught about health
00:17:51.97\00:17:54.30
and I was just like,
00:17:54.34\00:17:55.67
"Wow! this is really awesome,
this is really interesting,
00:17:55.70\00:18:02.24
this seems so
much more appropriate
00:18:02.28\00:18:05.01
and it's right from the
Bible" like, it was just...
00:18:05.05\00:18:07.88
it was really interesting...
I just kept learning
00:18:07.92\00:18:10.72
the basic
00:18:10.75\00:18:12.99
the basic messages of the
Seventh-day Adventist Church,
00:18:13.02\00:18:16.93
and every single time I was
learning all this new stuff,
00:18:16.96\00:18:21.03
I just loved it, it was
like... it was so great to
00:18:21.06\00:18:23.87
it was so clear too,
00:18:23.93\00:18:27.04
it didn't seem like I was being
00:18:27.07\00:18:29.47
tricked... you know, of
course, all my family...
00:18:29.50\00:18:31.57
Right... not all my family
00:18:31.64\00:18:33.11
but some of my
family, they were like,
00:18:33.17\00:18:34.54
"he's going to that
SDA Church those cults,
00:18:34.61\00:18:36.88
it's another cult,
no, no, no, no... "
00:18:36.91\00:18:38.81
they were trying to
tell me to get out of there
00:18:38.85\00:18:40.18
but I wasn't...
00:18:40.22\00:18:41.55
I didn't feel like
I was being fooled,
00:18:41.58\00:18:45.02
and I just like...
00:18:45.05\00:18:46.69
I could study it for myself,
00:18:46.76\00:18:49.66
and it was there in
the Bible, there was no...
00:18:49.69\00:18:52.89
That's what's most important,
it's right there in the Bible.
00:18:52.93\00:18:56.87
It's there... and there's no
evidence for the opposing views
00:18:56.90\00:19:00.67
Hmmm... hmmm...
and that's, you know,
00:19:00.70\00:19:03.51
there was no way
of getting around it,
00:19:03.54\00:19:06.98
and it was
awesome, it felt right,
00:19:07.04\00:19:10.41
applying it to my life,
starting to observe the Sabbath
00:19:10.45\00:19:15.58
like... the Sabbath
is great! it's just like,
00:19:15.62\00:19:18.72
I know that it's been an
extreme blessing in my life
00:19:18.75\00:19:21.89
and I'm so
thankful for it. Amen...
00:19:21.92\00:19:24.06
I've been keeping the
Sabbath to a certain degree
00:19:24.09\00:19:27.40
not properly... probably...
but now, I'm a hundred percent
00:19:27.43\00:19:32.40
like sundown Friday
to sundown Saturday,
00:19:32.43\00:19:36.87
I make sure to
keep it to the point
00:19:36.91\00:19:41.28
because it's an absolute...
00:19:41.31\00:19:43.35
it's been an absolute
blessing in my life...
00:19:43.38\00:19:46.05
so just learning the truth,
that's one of those things,
00:19:46.08\00:19:50.59
that I've... it's
changed my life thoroughly
00:19:50.62\00:19:56.29
and just given me
like a whole new...
00:19:56.32\00:19:59.83
just every single day,
00:19:59.86\00:20:02.76
no matter what
happens in the day,
00:20:02.80\00:20:04.80
it's just a great
day, you know, because
00:20:04.83\00:20:07.54
I get to be a part of
what God is doing in this world
00:20:07.57\00:20:11.67
which is just crazy that
the Creator of the Universe
00:20:11.71\00:20:15.71
even is concerned...
00:20:15.74\00:20:18.48
I'm allowed to be
a part of the work.
00:20:18.51\00:20:22.28
Recently I started taking a...
00:20:22.32\00:20:24.55
I took kind of an
all-inclusive evangelism class,
00:20:24.59\00:20:29.32
"The End Times" like
these ministries put on,
00:20:29.39\00:20:33.16
and I just
finished that recently
00:20:33.19\00:20:36.00
and that was super awesome
00:20:36.03\00:20:38.03
I started to learn
the Sanctuary message
00:20:38.07\00:20:39.83
and I've been
learning the prophecy
00:20:39.87\00:20:42.20
and the prophecy
messages and everything
00:20:42.24\00:20:46.88
and of course, I was
hipped to your videos,
00:20:46.91\00:20:51.11
I think even before
I got into the church,
00:20:51.18\00:20:55.35
the first video that I saw
was the video about ASAP Rocky
00:20:55.38\00:21:00.19
and the effects of that music's
genre and things like that
00:21:00.22\00:21:04.99
and I've been
watching the videos
00:21:05.03\00:21:09.06
from Forerunner Chronicles,
00:21:09.10\00:21:12.30
I love watching
Forerunner Chronicles
00:21:12.33\00:21:14.37
all the
information... it's so great
00:21:14.40\00:21:16.30
and it's just...
00:21:16.34\00:21:18.84
your videos have, no
doubt, been a blessing to me
00:21:18.87\00:21:22.44
and it's wild you know,
it's funny, I sent you...
00:21:22.48\00:21:25.31
I sent you an e-mail
just a couple of weeks ago
00:21:25.35\00:21:27.58
just thinking... just
so I could get your opinion
00:21:27.62\00:21:29.82
on a few things, and then,
00:21:29.88\00:21:31.65
Mike Johnson says
that you called him
00:21:31.69\00:21:35.06
just to get a hold of
me, and now you're here...
00:21:35.09\00:21:37.49
Praise God, praise God for that.
00:21:37.53\00:21:39.39
Yeah, God is good,
God is good, like...
00:21:39.43\00:21:41.93
things like
that... like that's...
00:21:41.96\00:21:44.43
that's literally like...
00:21:44.47\00:21:46.37
people see me... people
see me and they're like,
00:21:46.40\00:21:48.67
"Whoa, you're changed!"
00:21:48.70\00:21:50.64
like... I see
this guy and I'm like,
00:21:50.67\00:21:52.77
"Wow! man of God, Forerunner,
right here, I can touch him,
00:21:52.81\00:21:57.28
I can hug him... Awww... nah...
00:21:57.31\00:21:58.65
no, no, like
seriously... Thanks Bro...
00:21:58.68\00:22:00.98
Yeah, God is great like...
00:22:01.05\00:22:02.85
it's just... it's like
one of those things that's...
00:22:02.88\00:22:04.32
I like that...
that's what I like...
00:22:04.35\00:22:09.09
People say, "It's
just entertainment. "
00:22:09.12\00:22:12.46
The fact that it's
entertainment it's...
00:22:12.49\00:22:15.83
do some research on the effects
of television in your brain
00:22:15.86\00:22:20.94
and I promise you...
you'll have a decision to make
00:22:21.00\00:22:25.74
when it comes to television,
00:22:25.77\00:22:27.11
and especially with
what you watch on television,
00:22:27.14\00:22:29.21
it's bad
news... it's bad news...
00:22:29.24\00:22:32.85
so, that's coming...
00:22:32.88\00:22:34.78
I don't know if it means
any more... coming from me,
00:22:34.82\00:22:37.19
but, you might not
have heard it otherwise.
00:22:37.22\00:22:41.09
So, just watch out,
watch out, because the...
00:22:41.12\00:22:44.13
a lot of people
don't like to think about
00:22:44.16\00:22:47.13
how deceptive the enemy is.
00:22:47.16\00:22:49.40
He's been doing this
00:22:49.43\00:22:52.47
for a lot longer than
any of us have been around
00:22:52.50\00:22:54.44
so, we can't play around,
00:22:54.47\00:22:57.07
there's no playing around
when it comes to eternity.
00:22:57.11\00:23:02.84
Like Christ's work in your life
00:23:02.88\00:23:05.15
and try and be a
filter for His love because
00:23:05.18\00:23:11.22
otherwise... for myself,
if I'm not doing His work,
00:23:11.25\00:23:19.46
I really... I don't want to...
I might as well just die now,
00:23:19.49\00:23:23.77
I might as well... you
know, God could take me now,
00:23:23.80\00:23:26.13
God could... even
if I... you know...
00:23:26.17\00:23:28.04
if I'm not doing... if
I'm doing more harm than good
00:23:28.07\00:23:32.44
or if I'm doing any harm,
00:23:32.47\00:23:34.58
I don't want to be here,
00:23:34.64\00:23:36.68
I don't want to
contribute to the enemy's plan
00:23:36.71\00:23:39.45
and it's just...
it's one of those things
00:23:39.48\00:23:45.62
like we can... if we're lukewarm
00:23:45.65\00:23:49.56
and if we are
behaving like the Laodiceans,
00:23:49.59\00:23:53.93
it's going to
cause a lot more harm
00:23:53.96\00:23:57.93
because people will
see us and be like...
00:23:57.97\00:24:00.60
"Oh, I can be a
Christian and be on a show like
00:24:00.64\00:24:03.10
Two and a half
Men. " You can't...
00:24:03.14\00:24:05.07
you cannot be a
true God-fearing person
00:24:05.14\00:24:07.78
and be on a
television show like that.
00:24:07.81\00:24:10.45
I know... I can't.
00:24:10.48\00:24:14.38
I'm not okay with...
00:24:14.42\00:24:15.98
what I'm learning
with what the Bible says
00:24:16.02\00:24:17.89
and being on that television
show so, you know, just...
00:24:17.92\00:24:22.12
it's... you go all or nothing.
00:24:22.16\00:24:23.96
If I'm not ready right
now, I'm ready "to be ready"
00:24:24.03\00:24:26.76
Amen... I like
that... amen. So yeah...
00:24:26.80\00:24:31.67
amen... that's the real
deal... that's the real deal...
00:24:31.70\00:24:37.94
I'm proud of you
Bro, God bless you.
00:24:37.97\00:24:45.68
I hope that
whoever gets to see this,
00:24:45.71\00:24:51.39
you know, whatever I've
said, it might touch them
00:24:51.42\00:24:59.03
meaning... whatever I said
00:24:59.06\00:25:00.90
that is not... what
God would have me say,
00:25:00.93\00:25:03.77
would be discounted and
not discounted against Him
00:25:03.80\00:25:08.47
so, you know, because
by no means I'm perfect
00:25:08.50\00:25:14.48
and so, not yet anyway, Amen...
00:25:14.51\00:25:18.38
and, so yeah,
that's one thing I'd say.
00:25:18.41\00:25:24.22
You want to add something.
00:25:24.29\00:25:29.89
If there's anything that you
could say to everybody out there
00:25:29.92\00:25:37.90
here's a last
opportunity to say one word
00:25:37.93\00:25:42.10
of encouragement or
exhortation, what would it be?
00:25:42.17\00:25:51.45
The name of the game
right now is compromise...
00:25:51.48\00:26:00.32
meet in the
middle... to get things done
00:26:00.36\00:26:03.56
that's the name of
the game right now,
00:26:03.59\00:26:06.73
and according to the
Bible, when that happens,
00:26:06.76\00:26:12.80
we're no longer
standing for anything,
00:26:12.83\00:26:18.37
we are no longer on the right...
on the side of the truth
00:26:18.41\00:26:24.58
because a little
leaven, leaventh the whole lump,
00:26:24.61\00:26:28.48
and so, you're
either hot or you're cold
00:26:28.52\00:26:33.32
and that's where we're in almost
a period of the Laodicean Church
00:26:33.36\00:26:40.90
we really... we need
to pick our side now,
00:26:40.96\00:26:44.03
you need to pick your side,
00:26:44.07\00:26:45.40
you need to be a
100 percent on that
00:26:45.43\00:26:47.04
you need to be a 100
percent... or nothing,
00:26:47.07\00:26:51.21
if you're going
to be for the world,
00:26:51.24\00:26:52.57
be for the world, don't try...
00:26:52.61\00:26:54.78
you're doing so much harm
being half in and half out,
00:26:54.81\00:26:58.41
you're harming yourself
and harming those others
00:26:58.45\00:27:00.92
who might actually
want to know the truth.
00:27:00.98\00:27:05.39
So, choose you this
day whom you will follow.
00:27:05.42\00:27:11.83
The Bible says in
James chapter 4 and verse 4,
00:27:11.86\00:27:18.23
"Ye adulterers and adulteresses,
00:27:18.27\00:27:20.00
know ye not that the
friendship of the world
00:27:20.04\00:27:22.24
is enmity with God?
whosoever therefore shall
00:27:22.27\00:27:24.44
be the friend of the
world, is the enemy of God. "
00:27:24.47\00:27:27.14
And what I really
appreciate about Angus is that
00:27:27.18\00:27:29.84
he's identifying
with the fact that,
00:27:29.88\00:27:32.11
you cannot be a
friend of the world
00:27:32.18\00:27:34.35
he's either going to
serve God or serve this world
00:27:34.38\00:27:37.89
and he's taken his stand,
00:27:37.95\00:27:39.42
and you're going
to see that... more so
00:27:39.45\00:27:42.66
even as the days go forth
because I'm thoroughly convicted
00:27:42.69\00:27:46.59
that I'm with the brother
00:27:46.63\00:27:48.13
that the Spirit of
God is clearly leading
00:27:48.16\00:27:50.37
and you're going to see
that in the very near future,
00:27:50.40\00:27:53.44
he's taking his
stand on the right,
00:27:53.47\00:27:55.70
he's walked away from it,
00:27:55.74\00:27:57.07
you need to make a decision,
what are you going to do?
00:27:57.11\00:28:00.48
This is your opportunity.
00:28:00.51\00:28:02.81
As always... this
is The Forerunner...
00:28:02.84\00:28:05.68
this is Angus as well...
00:28:05.71\00:28:07.45
and whether you like it or
not, the truth is the truth.
00:28:07.48\00:28:11.89
