? ? >> BACK
DURING WORLD WAR II, AN
00:00:02.50\00:00:06.86
AMERICAN FIGHTER WAS FLYING
OVER THE PACIFIC OCEAN WHEN THEY
00:00:06.86\00:00:10.00
BEGAN TO RUN OUT OF FUEL.
00:00:10.00\00:00:12.26
THERE WAS A CHAPLAIN ON BOARD
WITH THE CREW AND THEY WERE VERY
00:00:12.26\00:00:15.06
THANKFUL FOR THAT BECAUSE
THEY ENDED UP LANDING ON A
00:00:15.06\00:00:18.56
JAPANESE-HELD
ISLAND ON A DIRT STRIP.
00:00:18.56\00:00:21.86
WELL, THE CREW FELT IT WAS GOING
TO BE HOPELESS, THAT SOON THEY'D
00:00:21.86\00:00:24.33
BE CAPTURED AND PUT IN PRISON.
00:00:24.33\00:00:27.16
BUT THE CHAPLAIN SAID, "LET'S
PRAY THAT GOD WILL DELIVER US."
00:00:27.16\00:00:30.83
WELL, THEY THOUGHT IT WAS
HOPELESS, BUT THEY SAID, "WELL,
00:00:30.83\00:00:33.00
GO AHEAD, CHAPLAIN."
00:00:33.00\00:00:34.46
AND HE PRAYED THAT GOD WOULD
WORK A MIRACLE TO DELIVER THE
00:00:34.46\00:00:37.10
CREW.
00:00:37.10\00:00:38.46
WELL, THEY SLEPT THAT NIGHT
BY THE PLANE AND EARLY IN THE
00:00:38.46\00:00:41.06
MORNING, ONE OF THE CREW
WAS AWAKENED WITH A STRONG
00:00:41.06\00:00:43.70
IMPRESSION TO GO
DOWN TO THE BEACH.
00:00:43.70\00:00:46.33
DOWN AT THE BEACH, ROLLING IN,
WHEN THE SUN WAS RISING, HE SAW
00:00:46.33\00:00:50.00
A LARGE DRUM OF AVIATION FUEL.
00:00:50.00\00:00:53.46
WELL, WITH A YELP, HE WOKE UP
THE REST, THEY RAN DOWN TO THE
00:00:53.46\00:00:56.26
BEACH, THEY TRANSFERRED THE FUEL
INTO THE PLANE, AND THEY WERE
00:00:56.26\00:00:59.96
ABLE TO MAKE IT
BACK TO THEIR BASE.
00:00:59.96\00:01:03.03
A MIRACLE.
00:01:03.03\00:01:04.03
WHAT'S EVEN MORE INTERESTING IS
THAT THAT FUEL HAD BEEN KNOCKED
00:01:04.03\00:01:08.30
OFF AN AMERICAN SHIP DURING A
BATTLE WHERE IT WAS JETTISONED.
00:01:08.30\00:01:12.40
IT FLOATED A THOUSAND MILES,
PAST 25 OTHER ISLANDS, AND
00:01:12.40\00:01:17.26
LANDED ON THE BEACH OF THAT ONE
ISLAND JUST WHEN THE CREW NEEDED
00:01:17.26\00:01:21.13
IT MOST.
00:01:21.13\00:01:22.63
IS THERE A GOD?
00:01:22.63\00:01:24.30
WE'RE GOING TO TALK ABOUT IT.

00:04:32.20\00:04:35.90
LET'S STAND AS WE SING TOGETHER.
00:04:35.90\00:04:38.23
? ? ? WHEN I GAZE ABOUT THE
00:04:38.23\00:04:48.53

? WHETHER GREAT OR SMALL ?

00:05:31.66\00:05:36.56

00:07:19.86\00:07:21.80
>> PASTOR JEAN: WELL,
DID YOU ENJOY THAT SONG?
00:07:24.30\00:07:26.66
I HOPE SO.
00:07:26.66\00:07:27.36
BY THE END OF THIS, I THINK
WE'LL HAVE THE WORDS MEMORIZED.
00:07:27.36\00:07:29.86
NOW, THIS IS A BRAND
NEW SONG, PASTOR DOUG.
00:07:29.86\00:07:32.00
I GUESS IT WAS BEING PARTLY
WRITTEN TODAY, JUST BEFORE, SOME
00:07:32.00\00:07:36.63
CHANGES MADE.
00:07:36.63\00:07:37.46
>> YEAH, LITTLE FINISHING
TOUCHES STILL HAPPENING.
00:07:37.46\00:07:40.10
>> SO ONE THING THAT WE DON'T
HAVE, WE DON'T HAVE A NAME FOR
00:07:40.10\00:07:43.36
OUR THEME SONG.
00:07:43.36\00:07:44.53
SO THIS IS WHERE YOU CAN HELP.
00:07:44.53\00:07:45.56
THOSE OF YOU WHO ARE WATCHING,
YOU CAN SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE
00:07:45.56\00:07:49.33
WITH THE NAME OF THE SONG.
00:07:49.33\00:07:52.03
SO, I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU THAT
NUMBER AGAIN, AND YOU CAN SEND
00:07:52.03\00:07:54.93
US A TEXT MESSAGE WITH THE NAME
FOR THE SONG THAT WE JUST SANG.
00:07:54.93\00:07:59.00
THAT TEXT NUMBER AGAIN
IS 760-5-AMAZING FACTS.
00:07:59.00\00:08:05.76
760-5-AFACTS.
00:08:05.76\00:08:10.26
>> PASTOR DOUG: VERY GOOD.
00:08:10.93\00:08:11.90
WELL, WE'RE SO GLAD
THAT YOU'RE ALL HERE.
00:08:11.90\00:08:13.60
WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS.
00:08:13.60\00:08:16.56
WE CALL THE PROGRAM M.I.Q.
00:08:16.56\00:08:19.46
THAT STANDS FOR
"MOST IMPORTANT QUESTIONS."
00:08:19.46\00:08:21.66
NOW YOU CAN SAY "M.I.Q.," YOU
CAN SAY "MY-Q," OR YOU CAN SAY
00:08:21.66\00:08:25.53
"MY I.Q."
00:08:25.53\00:08:26.76
IT ALL WORKS.
00:08:26.76\00:08:28.36
BUT EITHER WAY, WE'RE GONNA
BE DEALING WITH THE BIGGEST
00:08:28.36\00:08:30.50
QUESTIONS IN LIFE AND SO WE'RE
GONNA BE TAKING YOUR QUESTIONS.
00:08:30.50\00:08:34.36
SOME ARE COMING IN THROUGH
THE INTERNET, SOME ARE GONNA BE
00:08:34.36\00:08:36.83
TEXTED IN.
00:08:36.83\00:08:38.10
AND SOME WILL BE IN THE
LESSON STUDY BOOK THAT WE HAVE.
00:08:38.10\00:08:41.20
BUT I THINK WE'RE READY TO START
WITH QUESTIONS FOR TONIGHT.
00:08:41.20\00:08:44.26
>> PASTOR JEAN: OUR
FIRST QUESTION IS A VIDEO.
00:08:44.26\00:08:46.96
>> HI, MY NAME IS JUSTIN AND
MY QUESTION IS, IS JESUS GOD?
00:08:49.43\00:08:53.43
>> IS JESUS GOD?
00:08:58.10\00:08:59.46
OF COURSE, OUR LESSON TONIGHT
IS GOING TO BE DEALING...
00:08:59.46\00:09:02.13
WITH THE SUBJECT,
"IS THERE REALLY A GOD?"
00:09:02.13\00:09:04.70
NOW, WHEN YOU SAY "GOD,"
BIBLICALLY, YOU'RE THINKING OF
00:09:04.70\00:09:08.33
THE THREE PERSONS THAT COMPRISE
GOD: GOD THE FATHER, THE SON AND
00:09:08.33\00:09:13.16
THE SPIRIT.
00:09:13.16\00:09:13.63
EVEN JESUS SAID, "YOU BAPTIZE IN
THE NAME OF THE FATHER, THE SON
00:09:13.63\00:09:17.56
AND THE HOLY SPIRIT."
00:09:17.56\00:09:18.70
AT THE BAPTISM OF JESUS, JESUS
WAS IN THE WATER, GOD THE FATHER
00:09:18.70\00:09:23.60
SPOKE FROM HEAVEN,
THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME DOWN.
00:09:23.60\00:09:27.53
SOME HAVE THOUGHT BEFORE
THAT GOD JUST REVEALS HIMSELF
00:09:27.53\00:09:31.16
DIFFERENT WAYS AND IT'S ALL JUST
ONE PERSON WHO KIND OF CHANGES
00:09:31.16\00:09:35.36
FORM AND MORPHS.
00:09:35.36\00:09:37.10
BUT IN REALITY...
00:09:37.10\00:09:40.23
GOD THE FATHER AND THE
SON, ALL DIFFERENT PERSONS.
00:09:40.23\00:09:43.60
OTHERWISE JESUS WAS A
VENTRILOQUIST WHEN THE FATHER
00:09:43.60\00:09:46.00
SAID, "THIS IS MY BELOVED
SON" AND HE WAS IN THE WATER.
00:09:46.00\00:09:49.00
SEE WHAT I'M SAYING?
00:09:49.00\00:09:50.00
IT'S LIKE YOU HAVE ONE FAMILY.
00:09:50.00\00:09:52.13
PEOPLE GET MIXED UP BY
WHEN YOU SAY THERE IS ONE GOD.
00:09:52.13\00:09:54.56
"HEAR, O ISRAEL, THE LORD OUR
GOD IS ONE," DEUTERONOMY 6:4.
00:09:54.56\00:09:59.06
HOW CAN IT SAY "ONE" AND
YET BE FATHER, SON AND SPIRIT?
00:09:59.06\00:10:02.63
THAT REALLY
MAKES PEOPLE STRUGGLE.
00:10:02.63\00:10:04.13
ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE IT
SPEAKS AS ONE BEING UNITED.
00:10:04.13\00:10:08.53
GOD SAYS, "IN THE BEGINNING
LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE."
00:10:08.53\00:10:14.83
GOD THE FATHER, SON AND SPIRIT.
00:10:14.83\00:10:16.70
AND SO, THE THREE PERSONS
COMPRISE OUR ONE GOD, OUR UNITED
00:10:16.70\00:10:21.93
GOD.
00:10:21.93\00:10:23.13
>> PASTOR JEAN: WELL, PASTOR
DOUG, OUR NEXT QUESTION THAT'S
00:10:23.13\00:10:25.00
COMING IS A TEXT QUESTION,
AND HERE'S THE QUESTION.
00:10:25.00\00:10:29.70
>> PASTOR DOUG: I ACTUALLY SAW
THIS QUESTION WHEN IT FIRST CAME
00:10:37.23\00:10:39.00
IN, AND I THINK THE REST OF IT
SAID, "MY GRANDMA SAYS, 'NO.'"
00:10:39.00\00:10:41.73
[LAUGHTER] LISTEN TO GRANDMA.
00:10:41.73\00:10:45.03
UM, FRANKLY, I DON'T EVEN KNOW
IF I WOULD RECOGNIZE A SINGLE
00:10:46.33\00:10:50.93
SONG BY THAT ARTIST, BUT I
SAW HIM ONCE ON THE NEWS AND IT
00:10:50.93\00:10:55.23
LOOKED PRETTY SCARY.
00:10:55.23\00:10:56.73
SO THAT'S ALL I'LL SAY ABOUT
THAT RIGHT NOW, BUT THESE ARE
00:10:56.73\00:10:59.56
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS
THAT WE'RE GETTING IN.
00:10:59.56\00:11:01.50
>> PASTOR JEAN: I THINK THE
SECOND QUESTION THAT WE HAVE IS
00:11:01.50\00:11:03.50
RELATED TO THAT SOMEWHAT.
00:11:03.50\00:11:04.53
IT SAYS...
00:11:04.53\00:11:05.90
>> PASTOR DOUG: I DON'T KNOW.
00:11:13.26\00:11:14.20
ARE YOU
LISTENING TO OZZY OSBORNE?
00:11:14.20\00:11:16.00
[LAUGHTER] IN THE SERMON?
00:11:16.00\00:11:18.23
YOU KNOW, I ACTUALLY HAVE
-- FIRST OF ALL OF COURSE, YOU
00:11:18.23\00:11:20.70
SHOULD BE TUNED INTO THE
LORD AND LISTENING TO THE LORD.
00:11:20.70\00:11:23.43
I ACTUALLY HAVE THE BIBLE ON...
00:11:23.43\00:11:26.96
WELL, I'VE GOT IT ON MY PHONE.
00:11:26.96\00:11:28.13
I'VE ALSO GOT ONE OF
THOSE THINGS CALLED AN iTOUCH.
00:11:28.13\00:11:31.03
AND SO I'M ON THE AIRPLANE,
I WAS FLYING OUT HERE, I WAS
00:11:31.03\00:11:33.73
LISTENING TO THE NEW TESTAMENT.
00:11:33.73\00:11:36.00
AND SO, YOU COULD BE LISTENING
TO GOOD THINGS, BUT I'M HOPING
00:11:36.00\00:11:38.53
THAT YOU'LL GIVE YOUR
ATTENTION TO THE PASTOR.
00:11:38.53\00:11:40.83
I KNOW SOMETIMES WE FIRE BLANKS.
00:11:40.83\00:11:42.96
PASTOR ROSS AND I ARE BOTH
PASTORS AND WE LOOK OUT THERE
00:11:42.96\00:11:45.13
AND WE SEE YOU SLEEPING
SOMETIMES, WHILE WE PREACH.
00:11:45.13\00:11:47.86
AND WE'VE THOUGHT BEFORE, "MAYBE
WE'LL GET EVEN SOMEDAY AND WE'LL
00:11:47.86\00:11:51.90
GO TO SLEEP WHILE WE'RE
PREACHING AND LET YOU SEE HOW IT
00:11:51.90\00:11:53.73
LOOKS."
00:11:53.73\00:11:54.46
[LAUGHTER] OKAY, NEXT QUESTION.
00:11:54.46\00:11:57.13
>> PASTOR JEAN: OUR NEXT
QUESTION IS A VIDEO QUESTION.
00:11:57.13\00:11:59.96
IF WE'RE READY TO ROLL THAT NOW?
00:11:59.96\00:12:01.76
>> HI, MY NAME IS
KEATON NEDS [PHONETIC], AND MY
00:12:07.70\00:12:10.13
QUESTION IS: IF GOD HAD A
FAVORITE BASKETBALL TEAM, WHO
00:12:10.13\00:12:13.13
WOULD IT BE?"
00:12:13.13\00:12:14.50
>> PASTOR DOUG: WELL, THERE IS
A SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS, "WE ARE A
00:12:17.76\00:12:19.96
NATION OF PRIESTS AND KINGS,"
AND SINCE WE'RE FROM SACRAMENTO,
00:12:19.96\00:12:23.06
IT'D BE THE KINGS.
00:12:23.06\00:12:24.43
[LAUGHTER] YOU WANT
BIBLICAL ANSWERS, DON'T
00:12:24.43\00:12:30.30
YOU?
00:12:30.30\00:12:31.73
>> PASTOR JEAN: THE NEXT
QUESTION IS A TEXT QUESTION AND
00:12:33.26\00:12:35.43
THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS.
00:12:35.43\00:12:37.53
>> PASTOR DOUG: WELL, THE
ESSENCE OF THESE MEETINGS IS
00:12:41.93\00:12:43.83
REALLY TO TALK ABOUT THE MOST
IMPORTANT QUESTIONS THAT DEAL
00:12:43.83\00:12:47.93
WITH LIFE IN ETERNITY.
00:12:47.93\00:12:50.46
NOW, MOST OF YOU ARE YOUNG
PEOPLE HERE AND THE INSURANCE
00:12:50.46\00:12:54.10
COMPANIES TELL US THAT, BOYS,
YOU MIGHT EXPECT 76-78 YEARS,
00:12:54.10\00:12:58.76
GIRLS MIGHT GO 78-81, 85 AS AN
AVERAGE, AND THEN YOU'RE GONNA
00:12:58.76\00:13:05.06
DIE.
00:13:05.06\00:13:06.43
THERE'S A 100%
DEATH RATE IN THE WORLD.
00:13:06.43\00:13:10.76
AND SO, YOU MIGHT BE THINKING
ABOUT "WHAT AM I GOING TO DO
00:13:10.76\00:13:13.33
WITH MY LIFE?" BUT YOU REALLY
OUGHTTA BE THINKING ABOUT "WHAT
00:13:13.33\00:13:15.63
AM I GOING TO DO
WITH MY ETERNITY?"
00:13:15.63\00:13:18.13
AND WE ARE DEALING WITH THE MOST
IMPORTANT QUESTION: HOW CAN I
00:13:18.13\00:13:23.30
LIVE IN THIS LIFE AND FOREVER?
00:13:23.30\00:13:27.13
AND SO THAT'S REALLY GONNA BE
THE CORE FOCUS THAT WE'RE HOPING
00:13:27.13\00:13:29.20
TO ADDRESS DURING THIS SERIES.
00:13:29.20\00:13:31.46
>> PASTOR JEAN: WE'VE GOT
ANOTHER VIDEO QUESTION THAT WE
00:13:31.46\00:13:33.10
WILL RUN AT THIS TIME.
00:13:33.10\00:13:35.33
>> HEY, MY NAME IS JAMAL AND MY
QUESTION IS: I WANT TO KNOW LIKE
00:13:38.20\00:13:40.80
HOW GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN
HERE, FOREVER, JUST ALWAYS BEEN
00:13:40.80\00:13:44.06
EXISTING.
00:13:44.06\00:13:45.50
>> PASTOR DOUG: NOW, OUR LESSON
TONIGHT'S GONNA TALK A LITTLE
00:13:49.03\00:13:50.96
BIT ABOUT THAT, BUT YOU REALIZE,
WE'RE CONFESSING UP FRONT, WE
00:13:50.96\00:13:53.66
DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.
00:13:53.66\00:13:55.80
SOME THINGS ARE MYSTERIES.
00:13:55.80\00:13:57.93
AND YOU COULD GO BACK AND FORTH
FOREVER SAYING, "WHICH CAME
00:13:57.93\00:13:59.96
FIRST?
00:13:59.96\00:14:00.96
THE EGG OR THE
CHICKEN WHO LAID THE EGG?
00:14:00.96\00:14:04.96
OR THE CHICKEN WHO CAME FROM
THE EGG THAT WAS LAID BY THE
00:14:04.96\00:14:06.90
CHICKEN?"
00:14:06.90\00:14:08.03
AND IT'S THAT AGE-OLD QUESTION:
"HOW DO YOU GET EVERYTHING THAT
00:14:08.03\00:14:11.80
YOU SEE IN THE WORLD
AROUND YOU FROM NOTHING?"
00:14:11.80\00:14:15.76
WHAT WAS THE FIRST
THING THAT ALWAYS EXISTED?
00:14:15.76\00:14:19.86
SOMETHING HAD TO ALWAYS EXIST.
00:14:19.86\00:14:22.60
AND SO WE'RE PRESENTING
THAT THIS IS GOD THAT HAS LIVED
00:14:22.60\00:14:26.36
THROUGH ETERNITY.
00:14:26.36\00:14:27.40
WE'LL BE TALKING ABOUT THAT,
MATTER OF FACT, IN THE LESSON
00:14:27.40\00:14:29.73
TONIGHT.
00:14:29.73\00:14:30.50
>> PASTOR JEAN: WELL, PASTOR
DOUG, I THINK THAT'S IT FOR OUR
00:14:30.50\00:14:32.46
TIME FOR OUR QUESTIONS AT THIS
POINT, BUT TO THOSE OF YOU WHO
00:14:32.46\00:14:36.46
ARE WATCHING, IF YOU'D LIKE TO
SEND US A TEXT MESSAGE, AGAIN,
00:14:36.46\00:14:40.20
THAT NUMBER THAT WE
TOLD YOU IS 760-5-AFACTS.
00:14:40.23\00:14:45.83
760-5-AFACTS.
00:14:45.83\00:14:48.80
PASTOR DOUG?
00:14:48.80\00:14:49.83
THE TIME IS YOURS.
00:14:49.83\00:14:50.53
>> PASTOR DOUG: ALL RIGHT.
00:14:50.53\00:14:51.20
THANK YOU AND BE PRAYING.
00:14:51.23\00:14:52.86
WELL, LISTENING FRIENDS AND
THOSE WHO ARE WATCHING, WE ARE
00:14:52.86\00:14:55.33
GOING TO BE TALKING ABOUT SOME
OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUES,
00:14:55.33\00:14:58.03
LIKE I SAID, IN ETERNITY.
00:14:58.03\00:15:00.06
AND WE USE THIS STUDY GUIDE THAT
WE'VE MADE AVAILABLE FOR THIS
00:15:00.06\00:15:03.86
SERIES -- IT'S BRAND NEW; THIS
IS THE FIRST PLACE IT'S EVER
00:15:03.86\00:15:06.36
BEEN USED -- DEALING WITH
THE BIG ANSWERS FOR THE BIG
00:15:06.36\00:15:09.50
QUESTIONS.
00:15:09.50\00:15:10.60
AND I'VE GOT ABOUT, FOR EACH
PRESENTATION IN THIS SERIES,
00:15:10.60\00:15:13.66
THERE'S ABOUT 10-12 QUESTIONS.
00:15:13.66\00:15:16.06
I MAY NOT GET THROUGH ALL THE
QUESTIONS, AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE
00:15:16.10\00:15:18.10
GOT THIS HERE.
00:15:18.10\00:15:19.70
IT'S GOT THE SCRIPTURES I'M
GIVING, AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK
00:15:19.70\00:15:21.80
ABOUT IT.
00:15:21.80\00:15:23.63
BIG QUESTION WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
IS DEALING WITH THE SUBJECT OF
00:15:23.66\00:15:26.76
"IS THERE A GOD?"
00:15:26.76\00:15:28.66
IS THERE REALLY A GOD?
00:15:28.66\00:15:30.90
NOW, I WAS SITTING AT MY DESK
AND I GET A LOT OF EMAIL FROM MY
00:15:30.90\00:15:33.80
FRIENDS.
00:15:33.80\00:15:34.80
SOMEBODY SENT ME A YOUTUBE
THAT EVIDENTLY HAD GONE VIRAL.
00:15:34.80\00:15:39.60
AND IT WAS DEALING WITH
THIS AIRPLANE THAT WAS AT AN AIR
00:15:39.60\00:15:44.90
SHOW, GOING THROUGH ALL
ITS ACROBATIC MANEUVERS AND THE
00:15:44.90\00:15:48.03
CAMERA ON THE
GROUND WAS FOLLOWING IT.
00:15:48.03\00:15:50.13
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, A
WING -- JUST TOO MUCH STRESS
00:15:50.13\00:15:52.93
EVIDENTLY -- A WING SNAPPED AND
FELL AND YOU COULD SEE THE PLANE
00:15:52.93\00:15:57.10
STARTING TO SPIRAL, THE ENGINE
GOING OUT OF CONTROL TOWARDS THE
00:15:57.10\00:16:01.40
GROUND, AND YOU COULD HEAR THE
PEOPLE IN THE CROWD SCATTER AND
00:16:01.40\00:16:03.53
SCREAM.
00:16:03.53\00:16:04.76
AND THE CAMERAMAN'S DOING
HIS BEST TO STAY FOCUSED ON IT.
00:16:04.76\00:16:07.60
AT THE SAME TIME, YOU
CAN HEAR HIM SAYING, "RUN!"
00:16:07.60\00:16:10.83
AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE
PILOT DID THE MOST REMARKABLE
00:16:10.83\00:16:12.70
MANEUVER.
00:16:12.70\00:16:14.10
HE GUNNED THE ENGINE, AND THIS
ACROBATIC PLANE WAS SO POWERFUL,
00:16:14.10\00:16:17.06
THE PLANE BEGAN TO WORK LIKE
A HELICOPTER AND IT CORRECTED
00:16:17.06\00:16:20.73
ITSELF AND IT WAS FLYING, LIKE
YOU SEE HERE, NOSE UP AND IT
00:16:20.73\00:16:24.83
MANAGED TO SLOWLY CREEP
BACK DOWN TO THE GROUND AND IT
00:16:24.83\00:16:28.13
LANDED.
00:16:28.13\00:16:30.06
AND WHEN I SAW THIS -- AND I'M A
PILOT -- I THOUGHT, "THAT IS THE
00:16:30.06\00:16:32.80
MOST INCREDIBLE PILOTING
SKILL I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE.
00:16:32.80\00:16:37.20
WHO IS THIS PILOT?"
00:16:37.20\00:16:39.43
DID A LITTLE MORE RESEARCH AND
FOUND OUT THE WHOLE THING WAS A
00:16:39.43\00:16:41.70
HOAX.
00:16:41.70\00:16:43.20
THEY HAD COMBINED A REAL
ACROBATIC SHOW WITH A MODEL
00:16:43.20\00:16:45.86
AIRPLANE.
00:16:45.86\00:16:47.83
AND THEN THEY DID SOME VERY
CREATIVE EDITING AND I GUESS IT
00:16:47.83\00:16:50.43
WAS A COMMERCIAL IN GERMANY.
00:16:50.43\00:16:53.60
AND YOU KNOW WHAT HAPPENS?
00:16:53.60\00:16:54.76
THERE'S SO MUCH OF THIS GOING
AROUND THAT YOU BEGIN TO WONDER
00:16:54.76\00:16:57.46
AFTER A WHILE,
"WHAT CAN YOU TRUST?
00:16:57.46\00:17:01.80
WHAT IS TRUTH?"
00:17:01.80\00:17:03.63
THERE'S SO MANY SCAMS AND SO
MANY PEOPLE ARE BEING BAMBOOZLED
00:17:03.63\00:17:06.66
THAT IT'S HARD TO
FIGURE OUT "WHAT IS TRUE?"
00:17:06.66\00:17:10.03
WHERE DO YOU GO
FOR THE RIGHT ANSWERS?
00:17:10.03\00:17:12.53
ARE WE GONNA GET IT
FROM THE NEWS PUNDITS?
00:17:12.53\00:17:14.86
ARE WE GOING TO GET THE ANSWERS
FROM, YOU KNOW, TELEVISION?
00:17:14.86\00:17:19.60
NOW, I'LL BE SHARING MORE WITH
YOU ABOUT MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
00:17:19.60\00:17:23.20
LATER DURING THE WEEK, BUT I
BELIEVE THERE'S ONLY ONE BOOK
00:17:23.20\00:17:26.73
THAT HAS STOOD THE TEST OF TIME,
AND THERE'S A REASON THAT YEAR
00:17:26.73\00:17:29.40
AFTER YEAR IT IS A BESTSELLER.
00:17:29.40\00:17:31.13
AND THAT'S THE BIBLE.
00:17:31.13\00:17:32.30
AND SO, I'LL TELL YOU RIGHT UP
FRONT HERE: IN THIS SERIES, THE
00:17:32.30\00:17:35.53
BIBLE IS GOING TO
BE OUR ANSWER BOOK.
00:17:35.53\00:17:38.20
AND I THINK YOU'RE GOING
TO FIND OUT THESE ARE NOT
00:17:38.20\00:17:40.20
OLD-FASHIONED ANSWERS.
00:17:40.20\00:17:41.60
THIS IS NOT AN OLD-FASHIONED
APPROACH, THAT THEY ARE FACTUAL,
00:17:41.60\00:17:45.86
CURRENT, WORKING ANSWERS FOR
THE BIGGEST QUESTIONS IN LIFE.
00:17:45.86\00:17:51.16
AND IF THE BIBLE'S TRUE...
00:17:51.16\00:17:53.86
AND IF GOD IS REAL
AND HE MADE EVERYTHING...
00:17:53.86\00:17:56.63
AND IF THE DEVIL IS REAL...
00:17:56.63\00:17:58.46
THEN THE DEVIL WOULD BE DOING
EVERYTHING HE COULD, IN THIS
00:17:58.46\00:18:00.70
MODERN CULTURE, TO
CONVINCE PEOPLE THERE IS NO GOD.
00:18:00.70\00:18:04.36
WELL, WE'RE GONNA GET RIGHT INTO
THE QUESTIONS DEALING WITH THIS
00:18:04.36\00:18:06.46
FIRST LESSON, AND THE FIRST
QUESTION IS, QUESTION NUMBER
00:18:06.46\00:18:09.53
ONE:
00:18:09.53\00:18:10.96
NOW WE'VE GOT SOME VERSES WE'RE
GONNA USE TO HELP FILL IN THE
00:18:18.80\00:18:21.26
BLANKS.
00:18:21.26\00:18:22.00
SOME OF YOU THAT HAVE THE
QUESTION BOOKS, YOU CAN WRITE
00:18:22.00\00:18:24.03
THEM RIGHT IN THERE AND YOU'LL
HAVE THAT AS A RESOURCE FOR
00:18:24.03\00:18:26.43
YOURSELF.
00:18:26.43\00:18:27.53
PSALM 90:2.
00:18:27.53\00:18:29.23
NOW, THAT MEANS THAT AS FAR BACK
AS YOU CAN GO IN ETERNITY, IN
00:18:41.40\00:18:45.16
ONE DIRECTION, OR AS FAR IN THE
FUTURE AS YOU CAN GO, GOD HAS
00:18:45.16\00:18:48.86
ALWAYS BEEN.
00:18:48.86\00:18:50.20
NOW, IF YOU'RE ANYTHING LIKE ME,
THAT SORT OF MAKES YOUR BRAIN
00:18:50.20\00:18:53.33
START TO BUBBLE.
00:18:53.33\00:18:56.06
HOW DO YOU COMPREHEND --
"BUT WHERE DID HE COME FROM?"
00:18:56.06\00:18:59.66
RIGHT?
00:18:59.66\00:19:00.43
ISN'T THAT WHAT
WE'RE ALWAYS WONDERING?
00:19:00.43\00:19:02.30
AND "WHO MADE HIM?"
00:19:02.30\00:19:05.00
WELL THEN, YOU'D HAVE TO
ASK THE QUESTION: WHO MADE HIM?
00:19:05.00\00:19:08.06
AND YOU KNOW THERE ARE SOME
RELIGIONS THAT TEACH OUR GOD IS
00:19:08.06\00:19:10.13
ONLY A GOD OF THIS GALAXY.
00:19:10.13\00:19:12.03
AND THERE ARE DIFFERENT
GODS OF DIFFERENT GALAXIES.
00:19:12.03\00:19:14.33
BUT THAT'S NOT THE BIBLE.
00:19:14.33\00:19:15.43
THE BIBLE SAYS, OUR GOD IS
THE GOD THAT MADE EVERYTHING
00:19:15.43\00:19:17.96
EVERYWHERE, AND HE
HAS ALWAYS EXISTED.
00:19:17.96\00:19:21.63
DON'T FEEL BAD OR INFERIOR
IF YOU CAN'T COMPREHEND THAT.
00:19:21.63\00:19:24.60
EVEN IN THE BIBLE IT
SAYS, "GOD IS PAST FINDING OUT."
00:19:24.60\00:19:28.73
THE LORD SAYS, "AS THE HEAVENS
ARE HIGH ABOVE THE EARTH, SO ARE
00:19:28.73\00:19:31.96
MY WAYS ABOVE YOUR WAYS."
00:19:31.96\00:19:34.00
AND SO DON'T LET
THAT DISCOURAGE YOU.
00:19:34.00\00:19:36.20
QUESTION NUMBER TWO:
00:19:36.20\00:19:37.56
NOW, THE BIBLE TELLS
US THAT GOD IS INVISIBLE.
00:19:45.26\00:19:49.00
HERE YOU HAVE IT, AND
IT'S FROM 1 TIMOTHY 1:17.
00:19:49.00\00:19:52.56
NOW, DO WE BELIEVE IN
ANYTHING THAT WE CAN'T SEE?
00:20:04.33\00:20:08.40
WHAT DO YOU SAY?
00:20:08.40\00:20:10.30
I DON'T WANT TO SCARE ANYONE.
00:20:10.30\00:20:11.33
I'LL BE BACK.
00:20:11.33\00:20:12.90
OKAY.
00:20:15.50\00:20:16.10
JEAN?
00:20:16.10\00:20:18.26
I WANT PASTOR
ROSS TO GIVE ME A CALL.
00:20:18.26\00:20:19.70
I NEED A
VOLUNTEER FROM THE AUDIENCE.
00:20:19.70\00:20:21.20
IT PROBABLY SHOULD BE A GIRL
BECAUSE I MIGHT GET ANOTHER --
00:20:21.20\00:20:23.13
YOU NEED TO BE
NEAR THE END MAYBE.
00:20:23.13\00:20:25.20
I WANT PASTOR ROSS
TO GIVE ME A PHONE CALL.
00:20:25.20\00:20:29.63
AND UM, I GOT TO TURN MY RINGER
ON BECAUSE WE TOLD YOU ALL TO
00:20:29.63\00:20:32.26
TURN YOUR RINGERS OFF.
00:20:32.26\00:20:35.40
ALL RIGHT, LET ME SEE.
00:20:35.40\00:20:36.36
DID I GET THAT RIGHT?
00:20:36.36\00:20:37.63
I AM A LITTLE
TECHNOLOGICALLY CHALLENGED.
00:20:37.63\00:20:40.13
ALL RIGHT, THERE WE GO.
00:20:40.13\00:20:41.46
SO PASTOR ROSS
IS GOING TO CALL ME.
00:20:41.46\00:20:44.43
[PHONE RINGING]
OKAY, PHONE'S WORKING.
00:20:44.43\00:20:46.43
[PHONE RINGING]
JEAN, IS THAT YOU?
00:20:46.43\00:20:49.80
ARE YOU THERE?
00:20:51.06\00:20:53.10
DID YOU HANG UP ON ME?
00:20:53.10\00:20:55.30
HE DID.
00:20:55.30\00:20:56.46
[LAUGHTER] ALL RIGHT.
00:20:56.46\00:20:58.06
DOES EVERYONE KNOW
THAT THE PHONE'S WORKING?
00:20:58.06\00:21:00.23
ALL RIGHT.
00:21:00.23\00:21:00.96
I NEED A GIRL.
00:21:00.96\00:21:01.80
WHO'S WILLING?
00:21:01.80\00:21:02.43
SOMEONE NEAR THE FRONT.
00:21:02.43\00:21:03.40
REAL QUICK.
00:21:03.40\00:21:04.63
AW, COME ON.
00:21:04.63\00:21:05.86
I'M UP HERE.
00:21:05.86\00:21:06.56
I'M NOT SCARED.
00:21:06.56\00:21:07.46
ALL RIGHT, I SEE...
YOU VOLUNTEERED HER.
00:21:07.46\00:21:09.66
DO YOU WANT TO COME?
00:21:09.66\00:21:10.70
NO?
00:21:10.70\00:21:12.23
YOU COME...
00:21:12.23\00:21:13.86
SORRY.
00:21:13.86\00:21:14.43
YOU'VE BEEN TRUMPED BY A GIRL.
00:21:14.43\00:21:15.23
I'M USING A BOY NEXT TIME.
00:21:15.23\00:21:16.46
YOU'RE NEXT.
00:21:16.46\00:21:17.13
ALL RIGHT.
00:21:17.13\00:21:19.23
YOU EVER MADE A BAKED POTATO?
00:21:19.23\00:21:20.73
>> NO.
00:21:20.73\00:21:21.53
>> YOU'VE NEVER
MADE A BAKED POTATO?
00:21:21.53\00:21:23.50
PRETEND.
00:21:23.50\00:21:24.30
JUST WRAP THAT UP IN TIN FOIL.
00:21:24.30\00:21:26.16
JUST KEEP WRAPPING THAT ROLL,
NO, JUST WRAP THE WHOLE ROLL
00:21:26.16\00:21:28.10
AROUND IT THREE OR FOUR TIMES.
00:21:28.10\00:21:29.23
[ROLL HITS STAGE]
THAT'S IT, KEEP GOING.
00:21:29.23\00:21:31.33
YOU'RE DOING GOOD.
00:21:31.33\00:21:32.33
[LAUGHTER] DO YOU
HAVE A COOKING SCHOOL
00:21:32.33\00:21:35.40
HERE AT THIS SCHOOL?
00:21:35.40\00:21:36.43
[LAUGHTER] OKAY.
00:21:36.43\00:21:38.86
JUST WRAP THAT, WRAP THAT UP.
00:21:38.86\00:21:40.43
PASTOR ROSS, GIVE ME A CALL.
00:21:40.43\00:21:42.46
WHAT'S YOUR NAME?
00:21:44.53\00:21:45.36
>> MARISSA.
00:21:45.36\00:21:46.13
>> HUH?
00:21:46.13\00:21:46.76
>> MARISSA.
00:21:46.76\00:21:47.20
>> MARISSA.
00:21:47.20\00:21:47.66
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, MARISSA.
00:21:47.66\00:21:48.63
THAT'S PROBABLY GOOD ENOUGH.
00:21:48.63\00:21:49.90
LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
00:21:49.90\00:21:51.20
JEAN, ARE YOU CALLING?
00:21:51.20\00:21:53.26
I THINK HE IS.
00:21:55.46\00:21:56.63
WE TRIED THIS BEFORE
AND WE PROVED SOMETHING.
00:21:56.63\00:21:59.66
THIS IS A VERY
SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENT.
00:21:59.66\00:22:02.16
[LAUGHTER] WHY ISN'T IT WORKING?
00:22:02.16\00:22:05.63
COME ON, YOU GUYS.
00:22:08.50\00:22:09.33
HIGH SCHOOL.
00:22:09.33\00:22:11.70
RADIO WAVES AREN'T
GETTING TO MY PHONE, RIGHT?
00:22:11.70\00:22:14.33
THE SIGNALS THAT
GO THROUGH THE AIR.
00:22:14.33\00:22:16.10
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:22:16.10\00:22:17.03
COULD YOU GIVE THIS BAKED POTATO
TO THAT LADY RIGHT DOWN THERE
00:22:17.03\00:22:19.10
WITH THE HEADPHONES?
00:22:19.10\00:22:21.43
HOW MANY OF YOU
BELIEVE IN RADIO WAVES?
00:22:21.43\00:22:24.86
CAN YOU SEE THEM?
00:22:25.76\00:22:27.80
RIGHT NOW, WHILE WE'RE SITTING
HERE, THERE ARE RADIO WAVES AND
00:22:27.80\00:22:32.00
FREQUENCIES THAT ARE
SWARMING ALL OVER AROUND US.
00:22:32.00\00:22:35.73
WE'VE GOT THE SATELLITE
TRANSMISSION GOING INVISIBLY
00:22:35.73\00:22:38.53
FROM THE TRUCK, UP THE
SATELLITE, BOUNCING DOWN.
00:22:38.53\00:22:42.00
WE DON'T HAVE ANY PROBLEM
BELIEVING IN INVISIBLE THINGS,
00:22:42.00\00:22:45.20
BECAUSE NOW -- I MEAN, IF YOU
THINK, THE FIRST 5,000 YEARS OF
00:22:45.20\00:22:47.90
HUMAN HISTORY, THEY WOULD HAVE
THOUGHT THAT WAS WITCHCRAFT.
00:22:47.90\00:22:50.20
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:22:50.20\00:22:52.06
BUT NOW WE JUST, WE DON'T
EVEN THINK ANYTHING OF IT.
00:22:52.06\00:22:54.40
I CAN REMEMBER WHEN I
SAW MY FIRST WIRELESS PHONE.
00:22:54.40\00:22:57.46
MOST OF YOU DON'T REMEMBER THAT.
00:22:57.46\00:22:59.03
AND I THOUGHT, "WOW!
00:22:59.03\00:23:01.86
NO WIRES!"
00:23:01.86\00:23:04.63
SO THERE'S INVISIBLE
THINGS GOING ON ALL AROUND US.
00:23:04.63\00:23:07.03
JUST BECAUSE WE CAN'T ALWAYS
EXPLAIN IT DOESN'T MEAN IT ISN'T
00:23:07.03\00:23:10.63
TRUE.
00:23:10.63\00:23:11.40
SO IT TELLS US
THAT GOD IS INVISIBLE.
00:23:11.40\00:23:14.60
BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN YOU SHOULD
BELIEVE IN HIM LESS; HE IS
00:23:14.60\00:23:16.70
EVERYWHERE.
00:23:16.70\00:23:18.10
HE INHABITS ETERNITY.
00:23:18.10\00:23:20.36
QUESTION NUMBER THREE:
00:23:20.36\00:23:22.30
WELL, YOU CAN READ JUST RIGHT
IN THE BIBLE, THE OPENING WORDS.
00:23:30.73\00:23:32.76
HOW MANY OF YOU KNOW THAT?
00:23:32.76\00:23:34.30
IT SAYS...
00:23:34.30\00:23:35.83
EVERYTHING.
00:23:40.36\00:23:41.60
EVERYTHING THAT IS AROUND
US HAS BEEN CREATED BY GOD.
00:23:41.60\00:23:44.66
ALL RIGHT.
00:23:44.66\00:23:45.43
YOU WERE GOING TO VOLUNTEER.
00:23:45.43\00:23:46.50
YOU WANT TO COME UP?
00:23:46.50\00:23:47.76
NO, THE GENTLEMAN.
00:23:47.76\00:23:49.06
I'M SORRY.
00:23:49.06\00:23:49.63
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:23:49.63\00:23:51.00
I GOTTA GRAB
SOMETHING ELSE HERE.
00:23:51.00\00:23:53.36
NOW, THIS IS A VERY
SOPHISTICATED PIECE OF APPARATUS
00:23:53.36\00:23:55.53
THAT WE DESIGNED
FOR THESE MEETINGS.
00:23:55.53\00:23:57.70
OKAY?
00:23:57.70\00:23:58.26
WHAT WAS YOUR NAME?
00:23:58.26\00:23:59.06
>> NAZILLA [PHONETIC].
00:23:59.06\00:23:59.73
>> NAZILLA?
00:23:59.73\00:24:00.23
>> YES.
00:24:00.23\00:24:00.70
>> OKAY.
00:24:00.70\00:24:01.10
PUT THAT ON AND I WANT YOU
TO PUT IT ON SO YOU COULD LOOK
00:24:01.10\00:24:02.96
THROUGH THIS ONE HOLE.
00:24:02.96\00:24:04.80
COVER UP YOUR OTHER EYE.
00:24:04.80\00:24:06.33
THAT'S WHY I DIDN'T DO A GIRL
BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WOULD MESS
00:24:06.33\00:24:08.63
UP HER HAIR.
00:24:08.63\00:24:10.76
OKAY.
00:24:10.76\00:24:12.26
ALL RIGHT.
00:24:12.26\00:24:13.43
NOW YOU COME OVER
HERE, NO, NO PEEKING.
00:24:13.43\00:24:15.46
JUST THROUGH,
JUST WHAT YOU CAN SEE.
00:24:15.46\00:24:17.20
NOW I'M GOING TO AIM YOU.
00:24:17.20\00:24:18.46
CAN YOU SEE THE SCREEN?
00:24:18.46\00:24:20.03
YOU SEE THE SCREEN?
00:24:20.03\00:24:21.60
ALL RIGHT, DON'T MOVE.
00:24:21.60\00:24:22.40
JUST KEEP ON THE
SCREEN HERE FOR A SECOND.
00:24:22.40\00:24:24.93
ALL RIGHT.
00:24:26.53\00:24:26.90
WE'RE PUTTING ANOTHER
PICTURE UP HERE ON THE SCREEN.
00:24:26.90\00:24:29.30
CAN YOU TELL
WHAT THAT PICTURE IS?
00:24:29.30\00:24:31.66
>> UH, A KEYHOLE.
00:24:31.66\00:24:32.56
>> IT'S A KEYHOLE.
00:24:32.56\00:24:34.30
AND WHAT'S IN THE KEYHOLE?
00:24:34.30\00:24:35.90
IS THAT TIN FOIL AND FELT?
00:24:35.90\00:24:37.80
>> UH, I THINK
IT'S, IS THAT THE SKY?
00:24:37.80\00:24:40.86
>> THE SKY?
00:24:40.86\00:24:41.93
ALL RIGHT, YOU KINDA
HAVE A LIMITED PERSPECTIVE.
00:24:41.93\00:24:45.13
WHEN YOU'RE LOOKING THROUGH THE
KEYHOLE, NEXT PICTURE, THAT'S
00:24:45.13\00:24:49.66
WHAT YOU'RE LOOKING AT.
00:24:49.66\00:24:53.10
NOW YOU SEE A
LITTLE MORE OF IT HUH?
00:24:53.10\00:24:54.90
YOU PROBABLY STILL NEED TO MOVE
YOUR HEAD AROUND A LITTLE BIT TO
00:24:54.90\00:24:56.63
TAKE IT IN, APPRECIATE IT.
00:24:56.63\00:24:57.56
[LAUGHTER] YOU
CAN -- YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:24:57.56\00:25:00.13
WE'RE GONNA LET YOU KEEP THAT,
BUT YOU HAVE TO WEAR IT THROUGH
00:25:00.13\00:25:01.96
THE REST OF THE PROGRAM.
00:25:01.96\00:25:02.73
>> NAH...
00:25:02.73\00:25:03.93
[LAUGHTER] >> YOU
CAN TAKE THAT DOWN THERE.
00:25:03.93\00:25:06.83
I'LL PROBABLY
NEVER USE THAT AGAIN.
00:25:06.83\00:25:08.23
[LAUGHTER] SELL IT ON eBAY.
00:25:08.23\00:25:10.30
[LAUGHTER] NOW, DO
YOU KNOW WHY I DID THAT?
00:25:10.30\00:25:15.53
WHAT IS A PERSON'S PERSPECTIVE,
A HUMAN'S PERSPECTIVE, ON
00:25:15.53\00:25:19.20
ETERNITY?
00:25:19.20\00:25:21.26
THINK ABOUT HOW BIG SPACE IS.
00:25:21.26\00:25:24.16
THINK ABOUT HOW
SMALL OUR WORLD IS.
00:25:24.16\00:25:27.53
THINK ABOUT HOW BIG
A PERSPECTIVE WE HAVE.
00:25:27.53\00:25:31.40
AND SO WHEN HUMANS ARE
DOWN HERE, JUST MICROSCOPIC
00:25:31.40\00:25:34.93
PIPSQUEAKS ON THIS PLANET,
WE'RE SAYING, "THERE'S NO GOD."
00:25:34.93\00:25:38.80
WE'VE GOT SUCH A LIMITED
PERSPECTIVE OF WHAT IS GOING ON
00:25:38.80\00:25:42.16
THROUGH THE COSMOS, THAT WE
NEED TO FACTOR THAT IN TO OUR
00:25:42.16\00:25:45.66
UNDERSTANDING.
00:25:45.66\00:25:46.33
YOU CAN EVEN SEE THE CREATION
OF GOD THROUGH THE THINGS HE'S
00:25:46.33\00:25:49.36
MADE.
00:25:49.36\00:25:50.33
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE HEARD
OF THE STORY OF ROBINSON CRUSOE?
00:25:50.33\00:25:54.00
DANIEL DEFOE WROTE THIS STORY
ABOUT A YOUNG MAN, WENT AWAY,
00:25:54.00\00:25:57.03
WANTED TO FIND HIS
OWN ADVENTURE IN LIFE.
00:25:57.03\00:26:00.76
ENDED UP BECOMING SHIPWRECKED
ON A DESERTED ISLAND.
00:26:00.76\00:26:03.13
I THINK IT WAS OFF IN
THE CARIBBEAN SOMEWHERE.
00:26:03.13\00:26:06.40
AND AFTER A LONG TIME, NOBODY
CAME, THERE WAS NOBODY ELSE ON
00:26:06.40\00:26:10.80
THE ISLAND THAT HE WAS ON.
00:26:10.80\00:26:12.06
HE KIND OF MADE HIMSELF
COMFORTABLE AND GOT TO WHERE HE
00:26:12.06\00:26:13.83
WAS COMPARATIVELY HAPPY.
00:26:13.83\00:26:15.70
BY THE WAY, THE STORY OF
ROBINSON CRUSOE WAS BASED ON A
00:26:15.70\00:26:19.86
TRUE STORY ABOUT A MAN
NAMED ALEXANDER SELKIRK, WHO WAS
00:26:19.86\00:26:23.80
SHIPWRECKED ON AN ISLAND OFF OF
CHILE, WHO GOT BACK TO ENGLAND
00:26:23.80\00:26:27.03
AND TOLD THE AUTHOR THE STORY.
00:26:27.03\00:26:28.53
A TRUE STORY.
00:26:28.53\00:26:29.80
AND, BUT ONE DAY, AS ROBINSON
CRUSOE, IN THE STORY, HE'S
00:26:29.80\00:26:34.63
WALKING AROUND THIS ISLAND
AND HE'S ABLE TO COMPLETELY GO
00:26:34.63\00:26:38.20
AROUND THE ISLAND.
00:26:38.20\00:26:40.00
ONE DAY HE SEES FOOTPRINTS ON
THE ISLAND, AND THEY'RE NOT HIS
00:26:40.00\00:26:44.03
FOOTPRINTS.
00:26:44.03\00:26:45.83
WHAT DOES THAT
TELL HIM RIGHT AWAY?
00:26:45.83\00:26:47.93
AND IT WASN'T JUST ONE MISTAKE
IN THE SAND THAT KINDA LOOKED
00:26:47.93\00:26:51.00
A LITTLE LIKE A HUMAN FOOTPRINT.
00:26:51.00\00:26:52.60
IT'S A SERIES OF THEM WALKING.
00:26:52.60\00:26:54.83
AND HE KNEW JUST FROM
THAT LITTLE GLIMPSE, "I AM NOT
00:26:54.83\00:26:59.40
ALONE."
00:26:59.40\00:27:00.86
NOW, IF HE CAN TELL THAT FROM
THE FOOTPRINTS ON THAT ISLAND,
00:27:02.43\00:27:06.13
DO WE HAVE EVIDENCE IN
NATURE THAT WE'RE NOT ALONE?
00:27:06.13\00:27:09.20
THAT THERE'S A GOD?
00:27:09.20\00:27:11.10
LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT A
LITTLE BIT IN OUR NEXT QUESTION.
00:27:11.10\00:27:13.66
QUESTION FOUR:
00:27:13.66\00:27:15.53
THERE'S AN
ABUNDANCE OF EVIDENCE.
00:27:23.33\00:27:24.66
YOU KNOW I GRABBED THAT LITTLE
CREATURE BECAUSE HE KINDA LOOKED
00:27:24.66\00:27:28.00
CUTE, DIDN'T HE?
00:27:28.00\00:27:29.36
[LAUGHTER] YOU
READ IN JOB 12:7-10:
00:27:29.36\00:27:33.80
ALL AROUND THE WORLD YOU
SEE THE EVIDENCE FOR GOD IN THE
00:27:59.30\00:28:03.16
INCREDIBLE MARVELS OF CREATION.
00:28:03.16\00:28:05.96
NOW I SHOULD TELL YOU AT THIS
POINT, WHEN I'M TALKING TO YOU
00:28:05.96\00:28:08.50
ABOUT "IS THERE A GOD?" I WAS
RAISED ATHEIST/AGNOSTIC, I THINK
00:28:08.50\00:28:13.60
I WENT BACK AND
FORTH A FEW TIMES.
00:28:13.60\00:28:15.70
I DID NOT BELIEVE --
I BELIEVED IN EVOLUTION.
00:28:15.70\00:28:18.93
I DID NOT BELIEVE IN
THE GOD OF THE BIBLE.
00:28:18.93\00:28:20.90
I THOUGHT THAT WAS LAUGHABLE.
00:28:20.90\00:28:23.16
I THOUGHT IT WAS AN INSULT TO
YOUR I.Q. IF A PERSON SAID, "I'M
00:28:23.16\00:28:28.33
A CHRISTIAN AND I
BELIEVE THE BIBLE."
00:28:28.33\00:28:30.23
I USED TO PITY THEM.
00:28:30.23\00:28:31.13
REALLY.
00:28:31.13\00:28:33.03
AND THEN I MOVED AND I LIVED
IN A CAVE FOR A YEAR AND A HALF.
00:28:33.03\00:28:36.83
UP IN THE MOUNTAINS.
00:28:36.83\00:28:39.06
AND WHILE LIVING THERE, INSTEAD
OF BEING IN NEW YORK CITY,
00:28:39.06\00:28:41.36
SURROUNDED BY THE THINGS THAT
MAN MADE, I WAS NOW SURROUNDED
00:28:41.36\00:28:45.40
BY THE THINGS THAT GOD MADE, AND
MY WHOLE PERSPECTIVE BEGAN TO
00:28:45.40\00:28:48.93
CHANGE.
00:28:48.93\00:28:49.56
I THOUGHT, "THIS
CANNOT BE AN ACCIDENT."
00:28:49.56\00:28:52.03
THERE WAS TOO MUCH
EVIDENCE FOR CREATION.
00:28:52.03\00:28:55.03
YOU KNOW, I LIKE
DOING AMAZING FACTS.
00:28:55.03\00:28:56.80
THAT'S WHERE OUR MINISTRY GETS
ITS NAME, AND I DID A SERMON ONE
00:28:56.80\00:29:00.86
TIME AND IT'S BASED UPON
THAT ONE SCRIPTURE THAT SAYS...
00:29:00.86\00:29:04.63
CONSIDER THE ANT.
00:29:08.30\00:29:10.26
DO YOU KNOW THERE ARE OVER
8,000 DIFFERENT KINDS OF ANT?
00:29:10.26\00:29:14.06
THEY COME IN VIRTUALLY EVERY
COLOR, RANGING FROM WHITE AND
00:29:14.06\00:29:17.10
CLEAR AND RED AND
BLUE AND PURPLE AND GREEN.
00:29:17.10\00:29:21.00
AND EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE
ALL ANTS, AND ANATOMICALLY THEY
00:29:21.00\00:29:24.43
SHARE JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING
IN COMMON, THERE ARE SOME ANTS,
00:29:24.43\00:29:28.73
THEY BAKE BREAD.
00:29:28.73\00:29:31.20
THEY ACTUALLY TAKE
THESE SEEDS UP ON THE GROUND.
00:29:31.20\00:29:33.83
WHEN IT RAINS THE SEEDS SPROUT.
00:29:33.83\00:29:35.20
THEY THEN CLIP THE SPROUT.
00:29:35.20\00:29:36.36
SO THEY STOP THEIR GROWTH.
00:29:36.36\00:29:38.26
THEY LET THEM DRY IN THE SUN.
00:29:38.26\00:29:39.90
THEY BRING THEM DOWN, THESE
WORKER ANTS MASTICATE THEM WITH
00:29:39.90\00:29:42.73
THEIR MANDIBLES.
00:29:42.73\00:29:44.13
THEY MIX THEM INTO
LITTLE DOUGH BALLS, COOKIES.
00:29:44.13\00:29:48.53
ANT COOKIES.
00:29:48.53\00:29:49.93
THEY TAKE THEM BACK UP, THEY DRY
THEM AND THEN THEY STORE COOKIES
00:29:49.93\00:29:52.96
AND THEY EAT COOKIES.
00:29:52.96\00:29:54.46
THEN YOU GOT OTHER ANTS, LIKE
THE ONES IN THE PICTURE HERE,
00:29:54.46\00:29:56.76
THAT HERD APHIDS.
00:29:56.76\00:29:59.33
LITTLE APHIDS, YOU KNOW, THEY
SUCK NECTAR OUT OF PLANTS AND
00:29:59.33\00:30:01.86
THEY EXCRETE -- THEY
SUCK THE SAP AND THEY
00:30:01.86\00:30:04.56
EXCRETE NECTAR, AND
THAT'S WHAT THE ANTS EAT.
00:30:04.56\00:30:06.53
AND SO THEY TAKE REALLY
GOOD CARE OF THEIR HERDS, LIKE
00:30:06.53\00:30:09.26
SHEPHERDS.
00:30:09.26\00:30:10.36
AND THEY CARRY THEM FROM ONE
PLANT TO ANOTHER TO MAKE SURE
00:30:10.36\00:30:12.93
THEY'RE WELL FED AND THEY
PROTECT THEM AND THEY'LL FIGHT
00:30:12.93\00:30:15.10
FOR THEM AND THEY HARVEST THEM.
00:30:15.10\00:30:17.40
AND THEY STROKE THEM
WHEN THEY WANT TO MILK THEM.
00:30:17.40\00:30:19.80
AND THEY'RE JUST
LIKE ANY OLD SHEPHERD.
00:30:19.80\00:30:24.16
AND THEN THERE'S
THE LEAF CUTTER ANTS.
00:30:24.16\00:30:27.03
AND THEY GO AROUND, THEY CUT
ALL THESE LEAVES UP AND THEY PUT
00:30:27.03\00:30:28.80
THEM DOWN AND THEY WAIT UNTIL
THE LEAVES BEGIN TO DECOMPOSE,
00:30:28.80\00:30:31.76
AND THEY DON'T EAT THE LEAVES,
THEN THEY EAT A SPECIAL MOLD
00:30:31.76\00:30:34.46
THAT GROWS ON THE LEAVES.
00:30:34.46\00:30:36.56
AND THIS IS JUST A
FRACTION OF THE VARIETY IN ANTS.
00:30:36.56\00:30:41.56
YOU LOOK AT THE KALEIDOSCOPE
OF DIFFERENT CREATURES.
00:30:41.56\00:30:44.86
THE SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIP
BETWEEN BIRDS AND APPLE
00:30:44.86\00:30:49.56
BLOSSOMS.
00:30:49.56\00:30:51.66
TO BELIEVE THAT ALL OF THIS JUST
SLOWLY GREW OVER THOUSANDS OR
00:30:51.66\00:30:56.40
MILLIONS OF YEARS, YOU KNOW,
I JUST COULDN'T BELIEVE THAT
00:30:56.40\00:30:59.60
ANYMORE.
00:30:59.60\00:31:00.50
THERE'S SO MUCH EVIDENCE FOR A
DESIGNER AND A LOVING GOD IN THE
00:31:00.50\00:31:03.60
THINGS THAT HE'S MADE.
00:31:03.60\00:31:05.60
QUESTION NUMBER FIVE.
00:31:05.60\00:31:07.53
I HEARD ABOUT THIS LITTLE
BOY ONE DAY THAT WAS UM, HE WAS
00:31:15.80\00:31:19.33
SITTING DOWN WITH -- HE
HAD A COMPUTER THAT CHILDREN
00:31:19.33\00:31:23.76
USE TO LEARN TO SPELL.
00:31:23.76\00:31:25.10
I THINK IT'S CALL
A SPEAK 'N' SPELL.
00:31:25.10\00:31:27.23
AND HE WAS TYPING IN WORDS.
00:31:27.23\00:31:28.23
AND THEN IT SAYS
THE WORD BACK TO YOU.
00:31:28.23\00:31:30.23
AND SO HE TYPED
IN THE WORD "GOD."
00:31:30.23\00:31:31.90
EASY THREE-LETTER WORD: G-O-D.
00:31:31.90\00:31:33.56
AND UP ON THE SCREEN
IT SAID, "WORD NOT FOUND."
00:31:33.56\00:31:36.80
AND HE LOOKED AROUND,
HE TYPED IT IN: G-O-D.
00:31:36.80\00:31:39.83
SAME RESPONSE, "WORD NOT FOUND."
00:31:39.83\00:31:42.33
AND HIS FATHER OVERHEARD
HIM SAYING, "JESUS IS NOT GONNA
00:31:42.33\00:31:45.73
BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS."
00:31:45.73\00:31:47.36
[LAUGHTER] BUT
THAT'S SORT OF TYPICAL OF
00:31:47.36\00:31:50.90
WHAT'S GOING ON
HERE IN THE WORLD.
00:31:50.90\00:31:53.40
IT'S LIKE WE'RE TRYING TO DELETE
GOD FROM THE EQUATION, EVEN
00:31:53.40\00:31:56.63
THOUGH WE ARE ABSOLUTELY
SWIMMING IN EVIDENCE FOR GOD.
00:31:56.63\00:32:01.43
SO, HASN'T SCIENCE PROVED --
YOU KNOW IF THERE WAS ANY ONE
00:32:01.43\00:32:05.16
THING THAT I COULD
PUT MY FINGER ON --
00:32:05.16\00:32:07.46
AND WE'VE GOT A LESSON THAT'S
GONNA TALK ABOUT CREATION AND
00:32:07.46\00:32:09.26
EVOLUTION SPECIFICALLY.
00:32:09.26\00:32:11.33
BUT I NEED TO
TOUCH ON THIS TONIGHT.
00:32:11.33\00:32:13.96
IF THERE'S ANY ONE THING WHERE
I BELIEVE THE GREATEST HOAX HAS
00:32:13.96\00:32:18.33
BEEN PERPETRATED ON INTELLIGENT
PEOPLE, IT'S THE IDEA THAT
00:32:18.33\00:32:21.43
BECAUSE WE APPRECIATE SCIENCE
FOR THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS, IF
00:32:21.43\00:32:25.20
SOMEONE WHO BELIEVES IN SCIENCE
SAYS THERE'S NO GOD, THEY
00:32:25.20\00:32:27.96
MUST BE RIGHT.
00:32:27.96\00:32:29.16
I MEAN, AFTER ALL, LOOK AT THE
SOPHISTICATION IN MEDICINE AND
00:32:29.16\00:32:31.60
LOOK AT WHAT THEY'VE
DONE WITH EXPERIMENTS.
00:32:31.60\00:32:33.76
YOU KNOW, SOME OF THESE PEOPLE
ARE SENDING ROCKETS INTO SPACE.
00:32:33.76\00:32:36.70
"AND THEY SAY THERE'S NO GOD?
00:32:36.70\00:32:38.26
OBVIOUSLY, THEY
KNOW MORE THAN ME."
00:32:38.26\00:32:41.13
BUT IT'S JUST NOT
TRUE; THERE IS A GOD.
00:32:41.13\00:32:45.10
AND THE EVIDENCE
FOR GOD IS EVERYWHERE.
00:32:45.10\00:32:47.56
IT IS, I THINK, ONE OF
THE GREATEST HOAXES, LIKE AN
00:32:47.56\00:32:50.96
INTERNET HOAX, THAT HAS EVER
BEEN PUT OVER ON INTELLIGENT
00:32:50.96\00:32:54.20
PEOPLE.
00:32:54.20\00:32:55.43
PSALM 139:14, IT SAYS...
00:32:55.43\00:32:58.26
WE ARE FEARFULLY
AND WONDERFULLY MADE.
00:33:08.43\00:33:11.20
GOD MADE MAN TO BE THE
CROWNING ACT OF HIS CREATION.
00:33:11.20\00:33:13.30
I MEAN, YOU THINK ABOUT
WHAT'S GOING ON RIGHT NOW.
00:33:13.30\00:33:16.50
WHILE I'M SPEAKING,
YOU'RE LISTENING, YOUR EARS ARE
00:33:16.50\00:33:20.26
PROCESSING MY WORDS.
00:33:20.26\00:33:21.70
THEY'RE SORTING THEM OUT
AND MAKING SOME KIND OF ABSTRACT
00:33:21.70\00:33:24.00
THOUGHTS OUT OF THEM.
00:33:24.00\00:33:25.03
I'M HOPING YOU'RE
LISTENING TO WHAT I'M SAYING.
00:33:25.03\00:33:27.33
YOUR EYES ARE TAKING IN
EVERYTHING FROM JUST THE PLAIN
00:33:27.33\00:33:30.60
THREE DIMENSIONS THAT YOU SEE IN
FRONT OF YOU, TO EVERYTHING FROM
00:33:30.60\00:33:34.50
MY BODY LANGUAGE AND
PHYSICAL EXPRESSIONS.
00:33:34.50\00:33:37.93
AND YOUR EYES ARE TAKING IN
A THOUSAND MORE THINGS BEING
00:33:37.93\00:33:40.23
RECORDED IN YOUR BRAIN THAT YOU
ARE EVEN CONSCIOUSLY AWARE OF.
00:33:40.23\00:33:45.26
HOW DID THAT ALL HAPPEN?
00:33:45.26\00:33:46.26
WHY DID HUMANS DEVELOP 80%
MORE BRAIN THAN THEY EVER USE IN
00:33:46.26\00:33:52.00
THEIR LIFETIME?
00:33:52.00\00:33:53.83
WHAT IN EVOLUTION
WOULD EXPLAIN THAT?
00:33:53.83\00:33:56.40
AND OF COURSE DEPENDING ON YOUR
PERSONALITY, YOU COULD BE USING
00:33:56.40\00:33:58.93
MORE OR LESS OF THAT.
00:33:58.93\00:34:00.10
WE'RE HOPING THAT YOU'LL
MAXIMIZE WHAT YOU'RE USING.
00:34:00.10\00:34:03.30
AND SO, YOU REALLY BEGIN
TO ASK THE TOUGH QUESTIONS.
00:34:03.30\00:34:07.13
THERE'S A GROWING NUMBER OF
PEOPLE IN THE SCIENCE COMMUNITY
00:34:07.13\00:34:11.53
THAT ARE COMING TO THE
CONCLUSION THAT YOU CANNOT
00:34:11.53\00:34:14.63
SUPPORT THAT ALL OF
THE ORGANIZATION AND
00:34:14.63\00:34:16.93
INTERWORKING [SIC] SYSTEMS AND
INTELLIGENCE AND DESIGN THAT WE
00:34:16.93\00:34:19.70
SEE IN THE WORLD
AROUND US HAPPEN BY ACCIDENT.
00:34:19.70\00:34:24.23
I MEAN, YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
00:34:24.23\00:34:25.90
YOU GOT TWO BIG CHOICES:
EVERYBODY AND EVERYTHING
00:34:25.90\00:34:30.16
EVERYWHERE CAME FROM NOTHING...
00:34:30.16\00:34:33.20
OR WAS THERE SOMEONE WHO
MADE EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE?
00:34:33.20\00:34:37.96
THOSE ARE THE TWO
CHOICES YOU'RE ALL FACED WITH.
00:34:37.96\00:34:40.23
AND YOU KNOW WHY THIS
LESSON IS SO IMPORTANT?
00:34:40.23\00:34:42.53
BECAUSE WHAT YOU DECIDE ABOUT
THIS QUESTION IS GOING TO AFFECT
00:34:42.53\00:34:46.26
EVERY OTHER QUESTION.
00:34:46.26\00:34:47.73
WHETHER OR NOT YOU
BELIEVE THERE IS A GOD --
00:34:47.73\00:34:49.53
THINK ABOUT HOW BIG THAT IS.
00:34:49.53\00:34:51.43
IF THERE IS --
OH, YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:34:51.43\00:34:53.20
I NEVER EVER READ TO YOU.
00:34:53.20\00:34:54.13
I GOT A DEFINITION
FOR GOD HERE IN MY NOTES.
00:34:54.13\00:34:56.56
WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT "IS THERE A GOD?"
00:34:56.56\00:34:58.26
WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?
00:34:58.26\00:34:59.30
LET ME READ THIS
TO YOU REAL QUICK.
00:34:59.30\00:35:01.03
AND BY THE WAY, I HAD TO
COMBINE A COUPLE OF INTERNET
00:35:01.03\00:35:03.53
DEFINITIONS.
00:35:03.53\00:35:04.26
IT WAS LIKE THAT LITTLE
BOY WITH HIS SPEAK 'N' SPELL.
00:35:04.26\00:35:06.60
IT SHOCKED ME.
00:35:06.60\00:35:08.03
I MEAN, YOU TYPE IN SOME WORDS
LIKE "THE" IN THE DICTIONARY ON
00:35:08.03\00:35:11.33
THE INTERNET, AND THEY'LL HAVE
FIVE PAGES OF DEFINITIONS FOR
00:35:11.33\00:35:14.06
"THE."
00:35:14.06\00:35:15.53
I TYPED IN "GOD..."
00:35:15.53\00:35:18.36
AND THERE'S HARDLY ANYTHING.
00:35:18.36\00:35:20.86
I THOUGHT, "WOW."
00:35:20.86\00:35:22.43
"GOD: A PERFECT SUPERNATURAL
BEING CONCEIVED AS OMNIPOTENT,
00:35:22.43\00:35:27.00
OMNISCIENT, OMNIPRESENT,"
AND I ADDED ONE, OMNIPATHIC.
00:35:27.00\00:35:31.96
YOU KNOW, THE "OMNI"
MEANS EVERYWHERE, ALL.
00:35:31.96\00:35:35.13
OMNIPATHIC MEANS
HE FEELS EVERYTHING.
00:35:35.13\00:35:37.40
THAT'S SORT OF LIKE BEING ALL
POWERFUL AND ALL KNOWING ALSO.
00:35:37.40\00:35:40.36
BUT EVERYTHING YOU'RE THINKING
OR FEELING, GOD KNOWS IT.
00:35:40.36\00:35:42.93
HE EXPERIENCES IT.
00:35:42.93\00:35:44.63
"THE ORIGINATOR AND
RULER OF THE UNIVERSE.
00:35:44.63\00:35:47.33
THE PRINCIPAL OBJECT OF FAITH
AND WORSHIP AND MONOTHEISTIC
00:35:47.36\00:35:50.16
RELIGIONS."
00:35:50.16\00:35:52.13
FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING,
00:35:52.13\00:35:53.96
GOD HAS BEEN THERE.
00:35:54.00\00:35:55.60
CAN YOU THINK OF ANYTHING MORE
IMPORTANT THAN HAVING THE ANSWER
00:35:55.60\00:35:58.10
TO THAT QUESTION?
00:35:58.10\00:35:59.73
"IN THE BEGINNING, GOD..."
00:35:59.73\00:36:03.30
I HEARD ONE TIME THAT A MAN WAS
GIVEN AN AUDIENCE WITH GOD AND
00:36:03.30\00:36:06.23
HE SAID, "LORD, I'M JUST
WONDERING, WHAT IS A MILLION
00:36:06.23\00:36:10.86
YEARS LIKE FOR YOU?
00:36:10.86\00:36:12.83
YOU LIVE FROM
EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING."
00:36:12.83\00:36:15.43
AND THE LORD SAID, "WELL,
IT'S LIKE A SECOND FOR YOU."
00:36:15.43\00:36:19.36
AND HE SAID, "LORD, THEN I
SUPPOSE A BILLION DOLLARS?"
00:36:19.36\00:36:23.30
HE SAID, "WELL, IT'S
LIKE A PENNY FOR YOU."
00:36:23.30\00:36:25.60
AND HE THOUGHT AND HE SAID,
"LORD, COULD I HAVE ONE OF YOUR
00:36:25.60\00:36:27.90
PENNIES?"
00:36:27.90\00:36:30.03
GOD SAID, "IN A SECOND."
00:36:30.03\00:36:31.46
[LAUGHTER] NEXT QUESTION.
00:36:31.46\00:36:37.40
QUESTION NUMBER SIX.
00:36:37.40\00:36:39.36
NOW, THIS NEXT PICTURE YOU'RE
GONNA LOOK AT ON THE SCREEN IS
00:36:47.00\00:36:50.10
WHAT THEY CALL THE ULTRA DEEP
FIELD IMAGE THAT WAS TAKEN BY
00:36:50.10\00:36:54.50
THE HUBBLE.
00:36:54.50\00:36:56.00
IT IS THE MOST
POWERFUL TELESCOPE THAT MAN HAS.
00:36:56.00\00:36:59.13
IT'S OUTSIDE OF
THE EARTH'S ATMOSPHERE.
00:36:59.13\00:37:01.73
THIS IS THE DEEPEST INTO SPACE
THAT ANYONE ANYWHERE HAS EVER
00:37:01.73\00:37:05.90
PEERED.
00:37:05.90\00:37:06.86
NOW, LET ME TELL
YOU HOW THEY DID THIS.
00:37:06.86\00:37:09.40
IT'S VERY
EXPENSIVE TO RUN THE HUBBLE.
00:37:09.40\00:37:12.13
AND SO THEY SAID, "WHAT
WILL HAPPEN IF WE TRY TO FIND A
00:37:12.13\00:37:14.80
POINT IN THE SKY, IN THE
STARS, WHERE THERE IS NOTHING?
00:37:14.80\00:37:20.50
SEEMS LIKE THE DEEPER
WE LOOK THE MORE WE FIND.
00:37:20.50\00:37:22.46
LET'S FIND A POINT THAT
LOOKS PITCH BLACK TO US.
00:37:22.46\00:37:25.00
THAT'S A VOID,
AN ABYSS IN SPACE.
00:37:25.00\00:37:27.16
WE WANNA FIND THE
END OF THE UNIVERSE."
00:37:27.16\00:37:29.26
AND IT'S VERY
EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE THE HUBBLE.
00:37:29.26\00:37:31.36
SO THEY RESERVED
THE HUBBLE FOR TEN DAYS.
00:37:31.36\00:37:33.90
FIRST THEY DID IT IN 1995.
00:37:33.90\00:37:36.53
AND YOU KNOW HOW WHEN YOU TAKE
A PICTURE AND THERE'S LOW LIGHT,
00:37:36.53\00:37:39.53
YOU'VE GOTTA KEEP THE
LENS OPEN FOR A LONG TIME?
00:37:39.53\00:37:42.36
THEY HAD TO KEEP THE LENS OPEN
AND KEEP THAT THING PERFECTLY
00:37:42.36\00:37:45.36
STILL FOR TEN
DAYS, TAKING ONE PICTURE.
00:37:45.36\00:37:49.63
AND THEY GOT WHAT THEY
CALLED THE DEEP FIELD IMAGE.
00:37:49.63\00:37:53.93
THEN, 2004, THEY
TOOK ANOTHER ONE.
00:37:53.93\00:37:56.50
IT WAS CALLED THE
ULTRA DEEP FIELD IMAGE.
00:37:56.50\00:37:59.40
THEY KEPT THE
LENS OPEN FOR 11 DAYS.
00:37:59.40\00:38:01.43
THEY FOCUSED ON A PIECE OF SKY.
00:38:01.43\00:38:03.00
IF YOU TAKE A GRAIN OF RICE...
00:38:03.00\00:38:05.60
AND YOU HOLD IT UP AT ARM'S
LENGTH, THAT GRAIN OF RICE WOULD
00:38:05.60\00:38:09.36
COVER THAT PIECE OF
SKY THAT IT LOOKED AT.
00:38:09.36\00:38:12.43
LOOKING INTO THE UNIVERSE LIKE
THAT, THIS IS WHAT THEY SAW.
00:38:12.43\00:38:18.23
FROM EVERLASTING TO
EVERLASTING HE IS GOD.
00:38:18.23\00:38:20.86
AND YOU KNOW WHAT?
00:38:20.86\00:38:21.93
THAT GOD KNOWS EVERY DETAIL.
00:38:21.93\00:38:24.70
A SPARROW DOES NOT FALL THAT
HE DOES NOT SEE ON THIS EARTH.
00:38:24.70\00:38:28.06
THE BIBLE SAYS HE'S
NUMBERED THE HAIRS OF OUR HEAD.
00:38:28.06\00:38:30.23
I ALWAYS FEEL FUNNY TELLING
PEOPLE THAT, BECAUSE IT DOESN'T
00:38:30.23\00:38:32.70
SOUND THAT IMPORTANT FOR ME TO
SAY THAT AS IT WOULD WITH SOME
00:38:32.70\00:38:35.76
PEOPLE.
00:38:35.76\00:38:36.63
BUT HE KNOWS EVERY
DETAIL OF OUR LIVES.
00:38:36.63\00:38:39.46
GOD IS GREAT.
00:38:39.46\00:38:40.46
AND THEN WE'VE GOT THESE OTHER
CONSTELLATIONS AND NEBULAE IN
00:38:40.46\00:38:44.66
SPACE THAT ARE JUST SO
EXQUISITE AND BEAUTIFUL.
00:38:44.66\00:38:47.73
AND YOU KNOW, I LOVE THAT VERSE
IN THE SONG "ROCK OF AGES."
00:38:47.73\00:38:50.33
IT SAYS, "WE WILL
SOAR TO WORLDS UNKNOWN."
00:38:50.33\00:38:53.73
WE OFTEN THINK ABOUT,
"WHAT WOULD YOU DO IN HEAVEN?
00:38:53.73\00:38:55.56
WHAT WILL HEAVEN BE LIKE?"
00:38:55.56\00:38:56.60
AND YOU KNOW, AFTER I GET
MY INITIAL TOUR, I'M GONNA --
00:38:56.60\00:39:01.40
I'M GONNA TAKE OFF THROUGH
THE GALAXY OF THE SPEED OF
00:39:01.40\00:39:04.26
THOUGHT.
00:39:04.26\00:39:04.70
AND IT'LL BE SO FUN TO EXPLORE
WHERE NO MAN HAS BEEN BEFORE,
00:39:04.70\00:39:08.53
RIGHT?
00:39:08.53\00:39:10.40
I LOVE -- I WANNA BE
THE FIRST PASTOR THAT
00:39:10.40\00:39:12.20
GOES UP TO THE SPACE STATION.
00:39:12.20\00:39:14.13
I DON'T KNOW IF
THEY'VE HAD ONE YET.
00:39:14.13\00:39:15.83
BUT THAT TO ME
WOULD BE SO MUCH FUN.
00:39:15.83\00:39:17.43
YOU KNOW ONE GUY,
HE BOUGHT A TICKET.
00:39:17.43\00:39:20.76
HAVE YOU HEARD ABOUT THAT?
00:39:20.76\00:39:21.60
HE IS A TOURIST.
00:39:21.60\00:39:22.76
$20 MILLION HE PAID AND
THEY TOOK HIM UP TO SPACE.
00:39:22.76\00:39:26.30
I THINK HE WAS OLDER THAN ME.
00:39:26.30\00:39:27.33
SO THERE'S STILL HOPE.
00:39:27.33\00:39:28.26
IF YOU WANNA MAKE A DONATION TO
PASTOR DOUG'S SPACE EXPLORATION
00:39:28.26\00:39:31.73
TRIP...
00:39:31.73\00:39:32.90
[LAUGHTER] YOU
COULD BUY A TICKET.
00:39:32.90\00:39:35.93
THE RUSSIANS WILL
TAKE YOU UP THERE.
00:39:35.93\00:39:37.80
PSALM 91 TALKS ABOUT THIS ALSO.
00:39:37.80\00:39:40.16
ALL OUT THROUGH SPACE
IS THIS KNOWLEDGE OF GOD.
00:39:55.20\00:39:59.46
IT CAN CAN BE SEEN EVERYWHERE.
00:39:59.46\00:40:01.30
NOW, THEY'RE TELLING ME ON THE
SCREEN THAT WE'VE GOT A QUESTION
00:40:01.30\00:40:03.66
THAT HAS BEEN TEXTED IN.
00:40:03.66\00:40:05.33
? ?
00:40:05.33\00:40:08.90
HOW MANY OF YOU HAVE
WONDERED THAT BEFORE?
00:40:11.43\00:40:14.10
DOES THE BIBLE TALK ABOUT THAT?
00:40:15.03\00:40:17.13
IT APPEARS THAT IT DOES.
00:40:17.13\00:40:18.83
MATTER OF FACT, IN HEBREWS 1:2,
IT SAYS, "GOD, WHO IN SUNDRY
00:40:18.83\00:40:23.80
TIMES IN DIVERSE, A PLACE
SPOKEN TO US IN TIMES PAST
00:40:23.80\00:40:28.00
THROUGH THE PROPHETS HAS IN
THESE LAST DAYS SPOKEN UNTO US
00:40:28.00\00:40:30.23
BY HIS SON THROUGH WHOM
HE MADE THE WORLDS," PLURAL.
00:40:30.23\00:40:36.13
SO IT ISN'T JUST OUR
WORLD, HE'S MADE WORLDS.
00:40:36.13\00:40:39.73
AND THEN YOU LOOK IN JOB 1.
00:40:39.73\00:40:41.50
IT SAYS, "THERE WAS A DAY WHEN
THE SONS OF GOD CAME TO PRESENT
00:40:41.50\00:40:43.63
THEMSELVES BEFORE THE LORD.
00:40:43.63\00:40:45.66
SATAN CAME ALSO AND GOD SAID TO
SATAN, 'WHERE'D YOU COME FROM?'
00:40:45.66\00:40:49.10
HE SAID, 'I CAME
FROM THE EARTH.'"
00:40:49.10\00:40:51.30
HERE'S SOME
CELESTIAL MEETING TAKING PLACE.
00:40:51.30\00:40:53.40
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE
VASTNESS OF SPACE, IT'S HARD TO
00:40:53.40\00:40:56.86
BELIEVE THAT THE ONLY
ONES ALIVE ARE HERE ON EARTH.
00:40:56.86\00:40:59.80
THE BIBLE SEEMS TO TELL US
OF ALL THE SHEEP THAT GOD HAS
00:40:59.80\00:41:03.50
THROUGH LIMITLESS SPACE, THIS
WORLD IS THAT ONE LOST SHEEP AND
00:41:03.50\00:41:08.53
JESUS, OUR SHEPHERD, LEFT THE
REALMS OF HEAVEN, COME TO THIS
00:41:08.53\00:41:12.36
WORLD TO SEEK THIS LOST PLANET.
00:41:12.36\00:41:15.30
BECAUSE EVERYBODY IN
THIS WORLD SINS, RIGHT?
00:41:15.30\00:41:17.66
WE'RE ALL LOST DOWN HERE.
00:41:17.66\00:41:19.33
SO HE CAME HERE TO
RETRIEVE THIS LOST WORLD.
00:41:19.33\00:41:21.43
ALRIGHT, QUESTION NUMBER SEVEN.
00:41:21.43\00:41:22.90
ROMANS 2:15, IT SAYS -- AND
SPEAKING OF THE GENTILES, THESE
00:41:31.43\00:41:36.03
WERE THE UNBELIEVERS...
00:41:36.03\00:41:37.53
IT MEANS THAT EVERYBODY IS BORN
WITH SORT OF AN INNER KNOWLEDGE
00:41:50.23\00:41:54.26
OF THE EXISTENCE OF GOD.
00:41:54.26\00:41:56.03
YOU KNOW, I SAW A STUDY --
AND I JUST CAPTURED THIS OFF THE
00:41:56.03\00:41:59.33
INTERNET -- THAT THEY HAD
A QUESTION ABOUT THE MORAL
00:41:59.33\00:42:04.10
BEHAVIOR.
00:42:04.10\00:42:05.43
PROFESSOR PAUL BLOOM...
00:42:05.43\00:42:09.03
YEAH, PROFESSOR PAUL BLOOM OF
YALE UNIVERSITY, HE DEMONSTRATED
00:42:09.03\00:42:12.40
THROUGH CAREFUL RESEARCH A
NUMBER OF TESTS THAT EVEN BABIES
00:42:12.40\00:42:16.20
AS YOUNG AS SIX MONTHS OLD HAVE
A BUILT-IN MORAL SENSE OF WHAT
00:42:16.20\00:42:20.53
RIGHT AND WRONG IS.
00:42:20.53\00:42:23.40
IT SAYS, "A GROWING BODY OF
EVIDENCE SUGGESTS THAT HUMANS DO
00:42:23.40\00:42:25.96
HAVE RUDIMENTARY MORAL SENSE"
-- AND THIS IS NOT A RELIGIOUS
00:42:25.96\00:42:29.23
JOURNAL.
00:42:29.23\00:42:30.20
"A RUDIMENTARY MORAL SENSE
FROM THE VERY START OF LIFE.
00:42:30.20\00:42:33.30
WITH THE HELP OF WELL-DESIGNED
EXPERIMENTS, YOU CAN SEE
00:42:33.30\00:42:36.10
GLIMMERS OF MORAL THOUGHT, MORAL
JUDGMENT AND MORAL FEELING EVEN
00:42:36.10\00:42:40.03
IN THE FIRST YEARS OF LIFE.
00:42:40.03\00:42:41.63
SOME SENSE OF GOOD AND EVIL
SEEMS TO BE PRE-WIRED IN US."
00:42:41.63\00:42:46.40
AND WHAT THEY DID IS THEY
TOOK THESE BABIES AND THEY HAD
00:42:46.40\00:42:47.86
PUPPETS.
00:42:47.86\00:42:48.66
AND THEY KINDA HAD ONE PUPPET
BEATING UP ON ANOTHER PUPPET.
00:42:48.66\00:42:52.16
AND THE BABIES WATCHED THAT.
00:42:52.16\00:42:53.10
AND WHEN THE BABIES WERE GIVEN
THE BAD PUPPET THEY RECOILED.
00:42:53.10\00:42:57.50
THEY DIDN'T WANT IT.
00:42:57.50\00:42:58.53
BUT THEY WANTED TO
HUG THE GOOD PUPPET.
00:42:58.53\00:43:00.66
AND THEN THEY SAW PUPPETS THAT
WERE HELPFUL TO OTHER CREATURES.
00:43:00.66\00:43:03.03
THEY UNDERSTOOD THAT
AND THEY LIKED THOSE.
00:43:03.03\00:43:05.90
BUT THE ONES THAT WERE
MEAN, THEY DIDN'T LIKE THOSE.
00:43:05.90\00:43:09.33
THEY WERE ABLE TO TAKE AND
TO SENSE SOMETHING BEING GOOD
00:43:09.33\00:43:11.50
AND BAD.
00:43:11.50\00:43:12.60
BUT IF EVOLUTION'S TRUE
AND IF IT'S ALL SURVIVAL OF THE
00:43:12.60\00:43:15.20
FITTEST, YOU'D THINK THE LITTLE
CHILD WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEERING
00:43:15.20\00:43:17.50
THE MEAN PUPPET THAT WAS BEATING
UP ON THE HELPLESS PUPPET.
00:43:17.50\00:43:21.10
SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST.
00:43:21.10\00:43:22.66
GOOD FOR YOU.
00:43:22.66\00:43:24.50
I MEAN, BASED ON LIKING THE GOOD
GUY, WE'D BE EXTINCT, RIGHT?
00:43:24.50\00:43:29.16
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE FROM THE
VERY BEGINNING, OUR HEARTS ARE
00:43:29.16\00:43:32.26
PRE-WIRED WITH A MORAL SENSE
OF WHAT IS RIGHT AND WRONG.
00:43:32.26\00:43:36.40
QUESTION NUMBER NINE.
00:43:36.40\00:43:38.10
AH, THAT'S THE
BIG QUESTION, RIGHT?
00:43:46.03\00:43:49.03
EVERYBODY WANDERS, "IF GOD
IS GOOD, IF GOD IS LOVING AND IF
00:43:49.03\00:43:52.30
HE'S ALL POWERFUL, WHY
WOULD GOD MAKE A DEVIL?
00:43:52.30\00:43:56.83
IF HE'S ALL POWERFUL WHY DOESN'T
HE SNAP HIS FINGERS AND DESTROY
00:43:56.83\00:43:59.66
THE DEVIL?
00:43:59.66\00:44:00.63
WELL, WHAT HAPPENED?"
00:44:00.63\00:44:01.86
THAT'S ANOTHER WHOLE STUDY.
00:44:01.86\00:44:03.63
AMAZING FACTS DID A DVD CALLED
COSMIC CONFLICT THAT DEALS
00:44:03.63\00:44:07.13
WITH WHERE... SIN CAME
FROM, THE ORIGIN OF THE DEVIL.
00:44:07.13\00:44:10.03
AND GOD IS A LOVING GOD
AND HE CREATES ALL OF HIS
00:44:10.03\00:44:12.80
CREATURES FREE.
00:44:12.80\00:44:14.43
DEUTERONOMY 26:8, AND WE'LL
GET TO THAT IN JUST A MOMENT.
00:44:14.43\00:44:18.26
GOD HAS DEMONSTRATED HIS POWER
THROUGH THESE SIGNS AND WONDERS.
00:44:27.36\00:44:31.00
NOW, IF YOU READ IN EZEKIEL
28:15, IT TELLS US THAT GOD HAD
00:44:31.00\00:44:36.13
A BEAUTIFUL ANGEL, AND THAT GOD
MADE THIS ANGEL WITHOUT FAULT.
00:44:36.13\00:44:41.36
BUT BECAUSE HE MAKES
ALL OF HIS CREATURES FREE --
00:44:41.36\00:44:43.90
THIS IS SOMETHING
YOU'VE REALLY GOTTA GRASP.
00:44:43.90\00:44:46.26
GOD MAKES EVERY INTELLIGENT
CREATURE WITH FREE MORAL CHOICE,
00:44:46.26\00:44:52.20
BECAUSE HE WANTS LOVE.
00:44:52.20\00:44:54.13
HE CANNOT FORCE US TO LOVE HIM.
00:44:54.13\00:44:57.63
CAN YOU FORCE LOVE?
00:44:57.63\00:44:59.20
IF I TAKE YOU BY THE LAPEL AND
I SHAKE YOU AND SAY, "LOVE ME,
00:44:59.20\00:45:03.43
YOU BETTER LOVE ME," ARE YOU
GONNA LOVE ME, OR WILL IT HAVE
00:45:03.43\00:45:07.00
THE OPPOSITE EFFECT?
00:45:07.00\00:45:08.80
IN ORDER TO GET GENUINE LOVE,
IT MUST BE... SOLICITED BY BEING
00:45:08.80\00:45:14.00
LOVING.
00:45:14.00\00:45:15.43
AND AS SOON AS LUCIFER BEGAN TO
CAST DOUBTS UPON GOD, GOD COULD
00:45:15.43\00:45:20.06
HAVE SNAPPED HIS
FINGERS AND VAPORIZED HIM.
00:45:20.06\00:45:22.66
BUT THEN WHAT WOULD THE
OTHER ANGELS HAVE THOUGHT?
00:45:22.66\00:45:26.00
"MAYBE LUCIFER'S RIGHT.
00:45:26.00\00:45:27.36
GOD IS JUST
BULLYING ALL HIS CREATURES."
00:45:27.36\00:45:29.76
LUCIFER WAS THE
HIGHEST OF HIS ANGELS.
00:45:29.76\00:45:31.80
HE WAS PERFECT, THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:45:31.80\00:45:33.33
NOW, I TOLD YOU AT THE ONSET,
WE DON'T HAVE ALL THE ANSWERS.
00:45:39.06\00:45:42.60
WHEN YOU SAY, "WHO MADE GOD?"
00:45:42.60\00:45:44.70
FROM EVERLASTING TO EVERLASTING,
I CAN'T COMPREHEND THAT.
00:45:44.70\00:45:48.20
BUT IT'S EASIER FOR ME TO
BELIEVE IN THAT THAN NEBULOUS
00:45:48.20\00:45:51.00
GAS PARTICLES THAT WERE
FLOATING OUT THERE IN SPACE THAT
00:45:51.00\00:45:54.60
EXPLODED AND CREATED ALL OF
THE ORDER AND SYSTEMS AND DESIGN
00:45:54.60\00:45:58.76
THAT YOU SEE IN THE WORLD.
00:45:58.76\00:46:00.80
AND YOU MIGHT ASK, "IF GOD IS
GOOD, THEN WHERE DID THE SEEDS
00:46:00.80\00:46:04.33
OF SELFISHNESS
AND EVIL COME FROM?"
00:46:04.33\00:46:07.10
WELL, I DON'T HAVE AN EASY...
00:46:07.10\00:46:08.76
ANSWER FOR THAT QUESTION
BECAUSE HE MAKES HIS CREATURES
00:46:08.76\00:46:12.76
FREE.
00:46:12.76\00:46:13.63
SOME CHOOSE TO BE SELFISH.
00:46:13.63\00:46:17.26
ADAM AND EVE HAD
TWO PRINCIPAL SONS.
00:46:17.26\00:46:19.43
WHAT WERE THEIR NAMES?
00:46:19.43\00:46:20.93
CAIN AND ABEL.
00:46:20.93\00:46:22.33
SAME MOTHER, SAME FATHER AND
THEY HAD THE SAME GRANDFATHER:
00:46:22.33\00:46:26.93
GOD.
00:46:26.93\00:46:28.53
RIGHT?
00:46:28.53\00:46:30.20
ONE WAS GOOD AND ONE WAS BAD.
00:46:30.20\00:46:32.56
WHY?
00:46:32.56\00:46:33.66
BECAUSE THEY CHOSE.
00:46:33.66\00:46:35.93
GOD HAS GIVEN YOU THE
GREATEST GIFT THAT ANY OF HIS
00:46:35.93\00:46:38.60
INTELLIGENT CREATURES HAVE.
00:46:38.60\00:46:39.93
YOU'VE GOT THE ABILITY TO THINK
IN THE ABSTRACT AND TO CHOOSE TO
00:46:39.93\00:46:43.33
UNDERSTAND, COMMUNICATE WITH GOD
IN A WAY THAT NO OTHER CREATURE
00:46:43.33\00:46:46.56
HAS.
00:46:46.56\00:46:47.73
AND YOU CAN
CHOOSE TO BE SELFISH.
00:46:47.73\00:46:49.60
IF I WAS TO SUMMARIZE WHO GOD
IS -- WELL, HE DOES IT FOR US.
00:46:49.60\00:46:55.26
GOD IS WHAT?
00:46:55.26\00:46:57.56
GOD IS LOVE.
00:46:57.56\00:46:59.16
NOW. IF YOU WERE GONNA USE ONE
WORD TO SUMMARIZE THE DEVIL OR
00:46:59.16\00:47:02.16
EVIL -- BY THE
WAY, IF YOU JUST ADD THE
00:47:02.16\00:47:04.06
WORD "D" [SIC] TO
"EVIL" YOU GOT "DEVIL," RIGHT?
00:47:04.06\00:47:09.06
IF YOU WERE TO SUMMARIZE HIM IN
ONE WORD, IT'S THE ANTITHESIS OF
00:47:09.06\00:47:12.83
LOVE, WHICH IS SELFISHNESS.
00:47:12.83\00:47:16.00
AND THE BIG BATTLE THAT YOU
AND I GO THROUGH EVERYDAY --
00:47:16.00\00:47:18.96
MY BIGGEST
BATTLE, I'M SO SELFISH.
00:47:18.96\00:47:21.80
I NATURALLY ALWAYS
THINK ABOUT MYSELF.
00:47:21.80\00:47:24.10
I MEAN, WHATEVER HAPPENS I'M
GONNA FIND MYSELF THINKING, "I
00:47:24.10\00:47:25.83
WONDER WHAT THAT WILL MEAN?
00:47:25.83\00:47:26.80
OR HOW WILL THAT AFFECT ME?"
00:47:26.80\00:47:28.36
AND IT REALLY TAKES A MIRACLE OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT FOR US TO START
00:47:28.36\00:47:31.70
THINKING LOVINGLY
ABOUT GOD AND ABOUT OTHERS.
00:47:31.70\00:47:35.86
AND IT'S A GIFT
THAT GOD GIVES US.
00:47:35.86\00:47:38.03
IT'S A NEW HEART
AND HE TRANSFORMS US.
00:47:38.03\00:47:41.40
QUESTION NUMBER TEN.
00:47:41.40\00:47:43.13
YOU KNOW, SOME PEOPLE THINK,
"AH, THE DEVIL ISN'T REAL.
00:47:50.43\00:47:52.83
IT'S JUST PEOPLE HAVE A GOOD
SIDE AND THEY GOT A BAD SIDE.
00:47:52.83\00:47:55.13
WHEN THEY BEHAVE BADLY WE SAY
IT'S THE DEVIL, BUT IT'S JUST
00:47:55.13\00:47:57.83
REALLY THEM."
00:47:57.83\00:47:59.20
JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE
HIM DOESN'T MEAN HE'S NOT REAL.
00:47:59.20\00:48:02.26
THE BIBLE SAYS
WE DON'T WRESTLE --
00:48:02.26\00:48:04.50
A MATTER OF FACT, LET ME
GET TO THIS EPHESIANS 6:12.
00:48:04.50\00:48:07.86
IT SAYS...
00:48:07.86\00:48:09.30
THE BIBLE ADMITS IT'S A
SPIRITUAL, INVISIBLE FORCE BUT
00:48:11.76\00:48:14.63
IT'S VERY REAL AND PERSONAL.
00:48:14.63\00:48:16.63
YEAH, THE DEVIL IS VERY REAL.
00:48:28.40\00:48:31.33
DURING WORLD WAR II, BOMBS WERE
DROPPED ON HIROSHIMA, NAGASAKI.
00:48:31.33\00:48:38.26
AND AFTER THE INITIAL DAMAGE
THAT WAS DONE BY THE BLAST
00:48:38.26\00:48:41.23
ITSELF, A LOT OF PEOPLE
WERE THEN MADE SICK BY SOMETHING
00:48:41.23\00:48:45.13
CALLED RADIATION.
00:48:45.13\00:48:47.16
LIKE THE RADIO WAVES WE
TALKED ABOUT EARLIER, THEY WERE
00:48:47.16\00:48:49.43
INVISIBLE,
WREAKING TERRIBLE DAMAGE.
00:48:49.43\00:48:52.60
AND THE PEOPLE DIDN'T SEE IT.
00:48:52.60\00:48:54.23
INITIALLY THEY DIDN'T FEEL IT.
00:48:54.23\00:48:55.56
THEY COULD NOT SMELL IT, BUT IT
WAS AN EVIL THAT WAS DESTROYING
00:48:55.56\00:48:58.56
THEM.
00:48:58.56\00:48:59.90
THAT'S WHY PEOPLE TELL
YOU PUT ON SUNBLOCK, RIGHT?
00:48:59.90\00:49:02.96
ANY OF YOU EVER PLAYED
OUT IN THE SUN TOO LONG?
00:49:02.96\00:49:05.33
YOU DIDN'T KNOW IT AT FIRST.
00:49:05.33\00:49:07.23
AND SO, THE DEVIL IS REAL.
00:49:07.23\00:49:10.10
AND YOU CAN FEEL THIS BATTLE
GOING ON IN OUR HEARTS BETWEEN
00:49:10.10\00:49:13.33
GOOD AND EVIL.
00:49:13.33\00:49:14.50
QUESTION 11.
00:49:14.50\00:49:16.13
NOW, THAT'S THE
REAL THING WE'RE ASKING.
00:49:24.26\00:49:26.53
TONIGHT WE'RE SAYING THERE IS A
GOD, AND GOD IS GOOD, AND GOD IS
00:49:26.53\00:49:30.46
REAL, AND HE IS
AWESOME, HE INHABITS ETERNITY.
00:49:30.46\00:49:34.53
MATTER OF FACT, ONE THING
THAT CONFUSES US ABOUT GOD: GOD
00:49:34.53\00:49:37.73
EXISTS 100% IN THE PRESENT,
GOD EXISTS 100% IN THE PAST, GOD
00:49:37.73\00:49:44.56
EXISTS 100% IN THE FUTURE.
00:49:44.56\00:49:46.93
AND I THINK THAT
KIND OF THROWS US, RIGHT?
00:49:46.93\00:49:49.00
NOW GOD IS NOT CONFINED TO TIME.
00:49:49.00\00:49:50.70
EINSTEIN KIND OF HELPED
US REALIZE A WHOLE NEW WAY OF
00:49:50.70\00:49:53.93
THINKING ABOUT TIME AND SPACE.
00:49:53.93\00:49:56.50
GOD CAN LIVE IN THE FUTURE.
00:49:56.50\00:49:58.40
HE CAN TAKE A PROPHET AND
SHOW HIM THE FUTURE WITH PERFECT
00:49:58.40\00:50:00.76
ACCURACY.
00:50:00.76\00:50:01.23
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:50:01.23\00:50:02.60
WHAT KIND OF POWER
MAKES THAT POSSIBLE?
00:50:02.60\00:50:04.86
WHERE GOD CAN PREDICT SOMETHING
DOWN TO WHERE AN ARROW WAS GOING
00:50:04.86\00:50:08.23
TO LAND THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO,
AND THAT ARROW FINDS THE JOINTS
00:50:08.23\00:50:12.30
OF AHAB'S ARMOR PERFECTLY.
00:50:12.30\00:50:15.40
HE'S ALL POWERFUL.
00:50:15.40\00:50:17.50
AND THEN THERE IS AN EVIL FORCE.
00:50:17.50\00:50:19.90
THE GOOD NEWS IS, "GREATER IS HE
WHO IS IN YOU THAN HE WHO IS IN
00:50:19.90\00:50:26.16
THE WORLD."
00:50:26.16\00:50:27.40
THE DEVIL, THE PRINCE OF
DARKNESS, HAS BEEN QUARANTINED
00:50:27.40\00:50:30.10
TO THIS PLANET, HE
IS RESTRICTED HERE.
00:50:30.10\00:50:32.23
HE GOES TO AND FRO HERE
ON THE EARTH, THE BIBLE SAYS.
00:50:32.23\00:50:35.23
JESUS CALLS HIM THE
PRINCE OF THIS WORLD.
00:50:35.23\00:50:38.03
HE HAS BEEN ISOLATED HERE,
AND THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO BE
00:50:38.03\00:50:40.86
SUCCESSFUL IN THIS LIFE AND TO
COME OUT VICTORIOUS IS TO INVITE
00:50:40.86\00:50:44.76
THE POWER OF GOD AND THE
LIGHT OF GOD INTO OUR HEARTS.
00:50:44.76\00:50:48.60
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY
TO GET RID OF DARKNESS?
00:50:48.60\00:50:51.00
TO INVITE LIGHT IN.
00:50:51.00\00:50:53.33
YOU KNOW, I HEARD ABOUT...
00:50:54.76\00:50:57.13
A PHOTOGRAPHER UP IN THE
NORTHWEST OF A BIG NEWSPAPER,
00:50:57.13\00:51:02.10
AND THERE WERE SOME FOREST
FIRES THAT WERE GOING ON AT THE
00:51:02.10\00:51:04.86
FORESTRY NOT FAR FROM THE CITY.
00:51:04.86\00:51:07.33
AND THEY ASSIGNED HIM TO
GO GET SOME PICTURES -- THE
00:51:07.33\00:51:10.33
PHOTOGRAPHER -- FOR THE PAPER.
00:51:10.33\00:51:11.36
GO GET SOME
PICTURES OF THIS FOREST FIRE.
00:51:11.36\00:51:14.90
WELL THEY NEEDED TO RENT A
LITTLE SMALL PLANE SO THEY COULD
00:51:14.90\00:51:17.56
TAKE HIM UP AND FLY HIM AROUND
- HE COULD SNAP THE PICTURES.
00:51:17.56\00:51:20.10
HE GOT STUCK IN TRAFFIC; BY THE
TIME HE GOT TO THE SMALL AIRPORT
00:51:20.10\00:51:22.70
HE WAS LATE.
00:51:22.70\00:51:23.90
THERE, THE PLANE WAS ALREADY
WARMED UP AND RUNNING, DOOR OPEN
00:51:23.90\00:51:26.80
WAITING FOR HIM ON THE RUNWAY.
00:51:26.80\00:51:29.10
THE PHOTOGRAPHER
GRABBED HIS BAG, HE RAN OUT.
00:51:29.10\00:51:32.03
HE JUMPED INTO THE PLANE, HE
TOLD THE PILOT, "HEAD OUT THERE
00:51:32.03\00:51:34.50
TOWARDS THE NATIONAL FOREST."
00:51:34.50\00:51:36.20
AND THE PILOT TOOK OFF,
STARTED FLYING OVER THERE.
00:51:36.20\00:51:38.16
HE SAID, "I WANT YOU TO GO
OUT THERE TOWARDS THE SMOKE."
00:51:38.16\00:51:40.36
THE PILOT TOOK HIM OUT OVER
TOWARDS THE SMOKE, AND HE BEGAN
00:51:40.36\00:51:42.80
TO TELL HIM TO MAKE
SOME TWISTS AND TURNS.
00:51:42.80\00:51:45.23
THE PILOT -- THE PHOTOGRAPHER
TOOK OUT HIS CAMERA, STARTED
00:51:45.23\00:51:48.36
TAKING PICTURES.
00:51:48.36\00:51:49.76
AND THE PILOT BEGAN
TO LOOK A LITTLE NERVOUS.
00:51:49.76\00:51:52.63
AND THE PHOTOGRAPHER
SAID, "WHAT'S THE PROBLEM?"
00:51:52.63\00:51:56.06
AND THE YOUNG PILOT SAID, "SO
YOU'RE NOT MY INSTRUCTOR, ARE
00:51:56.06\00:51:59.20
YOU?"
00:51:59.20\00:52:00.63
[AUDIENCE REACTING]
HE -- THERE WAS A FLIGHT
00:52:00.63\00:52:06.23
STUDENT THAT WAS ALL WARMED
UP WAITING FOR HIS INSTRUCTOR TO
00:52:06.23\00:52:08.43
LOAD UP IN THE PLANE.
00:52:08.43\00:52:10.46
AND NEITHER OF
THEM KNEW HOW TO LAND.
00:52:12.06\00:52:14.76
NOW, TAKING OFF'S EASIER.
00:52:16.36\00:52:18.36
WHO'S YOUR CO-PILOT?
00:52:19.90\00:52:21.26
WE'RE ALL ON A JOURNEY.
00:52:22.83\00:52:24.23
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION YOU
NEED TO ANSWER IS, "IS THERE A
00:52:25.53\00:52:29.03
GOD?" AND "WHAT IS
HIS PLAN FOR MY LIFE?"
00:52:29.03\00:52:33.50
HE HAS A PLAN, A BIG
PLAN FOR EVERY ONE OF YOU.
00:52:33.50\00:52:36.76
AND THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO
SAFELY NEGOTIATE THE WAR THAT'S
00:52:36.76\00:52:40.90
RAGING...
00:52:40.90\00:52:41.70
THERE'S A SPIRITUAL WAR GOING
ON IN THIS WORLD, IT'S VERY
00:52:41.70\00:52:43.93
REAL.
00:52:43.93\00:52:45.00
AND THE ONLY WAY FOR YOU TO
SAFELY NEGOTIATE THAT WAR, AND
00:52:45.00\00:52:48.90
TO COME OUT THE OTHER SIDE
VICTORIOUS, SUCCESSFUL, IS YOU
00:52:48.90\00:52:52.73
NEED TO HAVE GOD AT THE STICK.
00:52:52.73\00:52:55.60
YOU NEED TO HAVE
HIM FLYING YOUR PLANE.
00:52:55.60\00:52:59.20
IT'S A TERRIBLE THING IF A
TERRORIST GETS INTO THE COCKPIT,
00:52:59.20\00:53:02.13
ISN'T THAT RIGHT?
00:53:02.13\00:53:03.70
WHO'S SITTING AT THE
DRIVER'S SEAT IN YOUR PLANE?
00:53:05.36\00:53:09.23
AND YOU KNOW, YOU AT LEAST
OWE IT TO YOURSELF, FRIENDS --
00:53:09.23\00:53:12.53
DURING THIS SERIES, THIS IS
THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION.
00:53:12.53\00:53:14.90
IF WHAT I'M SAYING IS TRUE
AND IF GOD IS REAL, IF JESUS IS
00:53:14.90\00:53:18.86
REAL AND HE HAS A PLAN FOR YOUR
LIFE, THEN THERE'S NOTHING MORE
00:53:18.86\00:53:21.70
IMPORTANT THAN
INVITING HIM TO TAKE CONTROL.
00:53:21.70\00:53:25.23
QUESTION NUMBER 12:
00:53:25.23\00:53:26.96
I BET YOU COULD PROBABLY ALL SAY
THIS WITH ME, IT'S JOHN 3:16.
00:53:35.96\00:53:40.93
WHY DON'T YOU SAY IT WITH ME?
00:53:40.93\00:53:43.73
"FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD
THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN
00:53:43.73\00:53:48.23
SON, THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVES
IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH BUT
00:53:48.23\00:53:54.06
HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE."
00:53:54.06\00:53:57.10
THE ONLY WAY FOR US TO SAFELY
GET OUT ON THE OTHER SIDE OF
00:53:57.10\00:54:00.93
THIS WORLD IS THROUGH JESUS.
00:54:00.93\00:54:04.50
YOU SEE, THE CROSS IS A LADDER
THAT STRETCHES FROM EARTH TO
00:54:04.50\00:54:08.26
HEAVEN.
00:54:08.26\00:54:09.50
GOD SAID, THE ONLY WAY I'M GOING
TO SAVE THOSE CREATURES DOWN
00:54:09.50\00:54:11.80
THERE IS IF I
BECOME ONE OF THEM.
00:54:11.80\00:54:14.56
I'M GONNA COME INTO THE
WORLD AS A MAN, I'M GONNA COME
00:54:14.56\00:54:17.50
AS THEIR EXAMPLE, SO THEY KNOW
HOW TO LIVE AND HOW TO TREAT
00:54:17.50\00:54:20.36
EACH OTHER AND
HOW TO RELATE TO GOD.
00:54:20.36\00:54:22.43
HE SHOWED US HOW TO
LOVE OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN.
00:54:22.43\00:54:25.53
HE SAID, "I'M GONNA COME TO
SHOW THEM WHAT GOD IS LIKE."
00:54:25.53\00:54:29.30
JESUS SAID, "IF YOU'VE SEEN
ME, YOU'VE SEEN THE FATHER."
00:54:29.30\00:54:33.16
SO MANY PEOPLE
MISUNDERSTAND GOD.
00:54:33.16\00:54:34.83
IF YOU WANNA KNOW WHAT GOD IS
LIKE, LOOK AT THE INCARNATION OF
00:54:34.83\00:54:37.86
GOD.
00:54:37.86\00:54:38.33
THAT'S JESUS.
00:54:38.33\00:54:40.10
AND THEN HE SAID, THE ONLY WAY
FOR THEM TO SURVIVE IS IF I TAKE
00:54:40.10\00:54:44.36
THE PENALTY FOR THEIR EVIL.
00:54:44.36\00:54:46.56
FOR THEIR SELFISHNESS.
00:54:46.56\00:54:48.10
IF I TAKE THEIR SINS, AND I GIVE
THEM MY RIGHTEOUSNESS I'LL TAKE
00:54:48.10\00:54:53.50
THEIR PUNISHMENT AND I'LL GIVE
THEM THE ETERNITY IN HEAVEN THAT
00:54:53.50\00:54:56.90
I DESERVE."
00:54:56.90\00:54:58.80
SO HE CAME AS YOUR SUBSTITUTE.
00:54:58.80\00:55:01.06
BUT AS REAL AS IT IS THAT
JESUS CAME -- AND ALL OF HISTORY
00:55:01.06\00:55:03.90
IS DATED FROM HIS BIRTH --
YOU NEED TO MAKE A DECISION.
00:55:03.90\00:55:07.73
HE DOESN'T FORCE.
00:55:07.73\00:55:08.66
YOU NEED TO CHOOSE TO SAY, "I
WANT HIM TO BE IN CHARGE OF MY
00:55:08.66\00:55:11.00
LIFE."
00:55:11.00\00:55:11.96
YOU KNOW, ONE TIME I GOT ON
MY KNEES UP IN A CAVE, AFTER
00:55:11.96\00:55:15.23
READING THE BIBLE, AND I PRAYED
AND SAID, "LORD, IF YOU'RE REAL,
00:55:15.23\00:55:19.10
I WANT YOU TO
COME INTO MY LIFE."
00:55:19.10\00:55:20.60
I HAD A LOT OF
QUESTIONS; I DIDN'T KNOW.
00:55:20.60\00:55:22.26
BUT AFTER READING THE BIBLE,
I BEGAN TO THINK, "IF THIS IS
00:55:22.26\00:55:25.93
TRUE..."
00:55:25.93\00:55:27.13
AND I TRIED OUT
A LOT OF RELIGIONS.
00:55:27.13\00:55:28.76
I'D TRIED ATHEISM.
00:55:28.76\00:55:30.46
I SAID, "IF THIS IS TRUE,
NOTHING IS MORE IMPORTANT."
00:55:30.46\00:55:34.03
ISN'T THAT RIGHT, FRIENDS?
00:55:34.03\00:55:36.40
"SEEK FIRST THE KINGDOM OF
GOD AND HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS."
00:55:36.40\00:55:39.96
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING
TO BE DOING... THROUGHOUT THIS
00:55:39.96\00:55:42.63
WEEK, FRIENDS.
00:55:42.63\00:55:43.60
