Live from the
3ABN Worship Center.
00:00:39.89\00:00:42.58
Welcome to the
Pillars Of Our Faith event.
00:00:42.61\00:00:46.02
Well, good evening.
00:00:48.62\00:00:49.59
And if you have been joining
us for each of the programs,
00:00:49.60\00:00:52.86
then welcome back.
00:00:52.89\00:00:54.31
And if you're joining us
for the first time tonight,
00:00:54.34\00:00:57.55
we just are so happy that
you are able to be with us.
00:00:57.58\00:01:01.77
And Danny, we've had a wonderful
time so far, haven't we.
00:01:01.80\00:01:05.30
Well we have and I think
it's just going to get better.
00:01:05.33\00:01:07.46
I do too.
00:01:07.49\00:01:08.47
The messages have been so
thrilling and so inspiring.
00:01:08.50\00:01:11.79
And you know, around our office,
even those that are working,
00:01:11.82\00:01:16.32
we keep the monitors going.
00:01:16.35\00:01:18.75
If we're not able to be actually
in here, then we're watching
00:01:18.78\00:01:21.73
what's going
on, on the monitors.
00:01:21.76\00:01:23.48
And we have been
blessed by each of the messages.
00:01:23.51\00:01:28.21
And we have such a tremendous
group here, the opening night
00:01:28.24\00:01:32.16
last night, and again tonight.
00:01:32.19\00:01:34.65
Even though it's been
raining outside just before,
00:01:34.68\00:01:37.35
we still have most
of our group inside.
00:01:37.38\00:01:39.98
And we're just so happy
that each one could be here.
00:01:40.01\00:01:43.64
Tonight, this first
hour is going to be some real
00:01:43.67\00:01:47.00
special music for you
and a little discussion,
00:01:47.03\00:01:51.56
talking about the
Pillars project and so forth.
00:01:51.59\00:01:54.52
And right now, the first
thing that we're going to do
00:01:54.55\00:01:58.60
is listen as Danny sing
this for us, All My Praise.
00:01:58.63\00:02:03.83
This is a song that I actually
wrote just a few months ago.
00:02:04.45\00:02:08.27
I was coming to the Lord
one night and I was by myself
00:02:08.30\00:02:12.31
and I sit down a
lot with the guitar.
00:02:12.34\00:02:14.81
And I just started
making some chords and I said,
00:02:14.84\00:02:18.05
"Lord, I want to give
You something but I don't
00:02:18.08\00:02:19.89
have anything. "
00:02:19.92\00:02:21.08
When you really think
about it, what can you give
00:02:21.11\00:02:23.15
God Almighty?
00:02:23.18\00:02:24.29
I said, everything I own
or everything I hope to own
00:02:24.32\00:02:28.10
or want to own,
it's not really mine.
00:02:28.13\00:02:30.36
It's His, right?
00:02:30.39\00:02:31.56
So Lord, I don't have anything.
00:02:31.59\00:02:33.30
And the Holy Spirit
said to me, "All my praise. "
00:02:33.33\00:02:36.00
So all of a sudden
I heard myself say,
00:02:36.03\00:02:38.19
"All my praise, that's
all I have to offer You. "
00:02:38.22\00:02:41.38
And then the Lord
just gave me this song.
00:02:41.41\00:02:43.78
In the second verse, I
just tell the Lord I love Him.
00:02:43.81\00:02:46.41
Because we have to
be honest with God.
00:02:46.44\00:02:48.73
He knows about us so I just
say, "I'm an empty broken vessel
00:02:48.76\00:02:52.54
filled with hurt
and pain inside. "
00:02:52.57\00:02:54.37
"Still all my praise," we can't
give up when we feel that way.
00:02:54.40\00:02:57.73
"All my praise I
offer up to You. "
00:02:57.78\00:02:59.60
The third verse I just
say, "Fill me with Your
00:02:59.63\00:03:01.74
Holy Spirit, Lord.
00:03:01.77\00:03:02.77
I long for Your anointing
so that I may work for You. "
00:03:02.80\00:03:05.75
And then just go back to, "All
my praise, I offer up to You. "
00:03:05.78\00:03:09.97
Well this evening, I
was scheduled to do it.
00:03:10.01\00:03:12.47
We have David
Huntsinger and Kris Wilkinson.
00:03:12.50\00:03:15.00
They're the writers of the
music and they did the entire
00:03:15.03\00:03:18.04
production of the
Pillars project CD's.
00:03:18.07\00:03:20.53
They're doing sheet
music and all of that.
00:03:20.56\00:03:22.20
We'll talk about
it in a few moments.
00:03:22.23\00:03:23.52
But they've never heard this and
I sat down and started to do it
00:03:23.55\00:03:27.07
and I said, "Could
you guys do this with me?"
00:03:27.10\00:03:28.84
And they are
professional musicians and I was
00:03:28.87\00:03:31.35
amazed at just without
every hearing this song,
00:03:31.38\00:03:33.92
they didn't ask me for
any chords, they sat down and
00:03:33.95\00:03:37.12
started playing it
better than I can play it.
00:03:37.15\00:03:39.49
So I'm glad that you
all are here tonight.
00:03:39.52\00:03:41.62
And I'll just start
out with a little chord.
00:03:41.65\00:03:44.95
All my praise,
00:03:46.43\00:03:50.36
I give You all my praise.
00:03:50.39\00:03:57.14
That's all I have to offer You.
00:03:58.90\00:04:07.57
I now build a sanctuary
00:04:08.95\00:04:15.23
deep within my heart,
00:04:15.33\00:04:20.88
oh and all my praise
00:04:20.91\00:04:25.32
I offer up to You.
00:04:25.35\00:04:31.65
I love You Lord,
00:04:33.27\00:04:37.60
oh how I love You Lord.
00:04:37.63\00:04:44.63
I bear my heart and soul
00:04:46.59\00:04:51.76
to You.
00:04:51.79\00:04:56.89
I'm and empty broken vessel
00:04:57.62\00:05:02.96
filled with
hurt and pain inside.
00:05:02.99\00:05:09.27
Still I offer up
00:05:09.31\00:05:12.94
all my praise to You.
00:05:12.97\00:05:19.10
Fill me Lord,
00:05:34.93\00:05:38.69
oh please fill me Lord
00:05:38.72\00:05:44.52
with Your Holy Spirit.
00:05:46.46\00:05:51.78
Fill me now.
00:05:52.86\00:05:57.73
For I long for Your anointing
00:05:58.95\00:06:05.01
that I may work for You.
00:06:05.04\00:06:11.46
Fill me Lord,
00:06:11.49\00:06:15.41
touch me Lord just now.
00:06:15.44\00:06:21.23
And all my praise,
00:06:24.22\00:06:28.76
I give You all my praise.
00:06:28.79\00:06:35.43
Think about it, we have
nothing to give God, right?
00:06:37.82\00:06:40.71
But just our praise.
00:06:40.74\00:06:42.81
I want you to sing this with me.
00:06:43.91\00:06:45.34
"I'm an empty broken
vessel fill with... "
00:06:45.37\00:06:47.54
I'm an empty broken vessel
00:06:49.06\00:06:53.34
"filled with hurt and pain"
00:06:53.37\00:06:54.71
filled with
hurt and pain inside.
00:06:54.74\00:06:59.94
"Still I offer up"
00:06:59.97\00:07:01.39
Still I offer up
00:07:01.42\00:07:04.50
all my praise to You.
00:07:04.53\00:07:10.50
Let's do the first part
of it, "All my praise. "
00:07:10.53\00:07:12.94
If you know it, sing it.
00:07:12.97\00:07:14.01
All my praise...
00:07:14.52\00:07:18.19
Beautiful.
00:07:18.22\00:07:19.21
...I give you all my praise.
00:07:19.24\00:07:26.11
That's all I have to offer You.
00:07:27.03\00:07:34.19
"I now build a sanctuary"
00:07:34.22\00:07:36.13
I now build a sanctuary
00:07:38.63\00:07:43.64
"deep within my heart"
00:07:43.67\00:07:45.05
deep within my heart.
00:07:45.08\00:07:50.89
"And all my praise"
00:07:50.92\00:07:52.24
All my praise,
00:07:52.27\00:07:55.91
I offer up to You.
00:07:55.94\00:08:03.28
And all my praise,
00:08:04.35\00:08:07.80
I offer up to You.
00:08:07.83\00:08:16.79
All my praise.
00:08:19.63\00:08:24.08
Alright.
00:08:27.43\00:08:28.40
We give all praise to Jesus.
00:08:28.41\00:08:30.41
Thank you guys.
00:08:30.83\00:08:31.89
You absolutely are incredible
musicians, but we give God
00:08:31.92\00:08:35.45
the honor and the glory
and the praise for that.
00:08:35.48\00:08:38.70
We don't want to spend
our time lifting up people,
00:08:39.84\00:08:43.59
but I want to
tell you something.
00:08:43.62\00:08:44.67
These are some of the
most incredible people
00:08:44.70\00:08:47.24
that I've ever met.
00:08:47.27\00:08:48.24
They love Jesus,
they're incredible musicians.
00:08:48.25\00:08:51.00
And so I don't want to
go on and on about it, but
00:08:51.03\00:08:54.04
you all can hear for yourself.
00:08:54.07\00:08:55.68
But the project,
we're going to talk about it
00:08:55.71\00:08:57.54
in just a few
minutes, the Pillars project.
00:08:57.57\00:08:59.48
These are the two folk
instrumental in this project
00:08:59.51\00:09:03.37
literally going
around the world.
00:09:03.40\00:09:04.76
And it's going right now and
it's spreading like wildfire.
00:09:04.79\00:09:08.21
They're the reason for
the Pillars camp meeting
00:09:08.24\00:09:10.47
because of what the
Lord impressed them that they
00:09:10.50\00:09:13.45
wanted to do with beliefs
that we as Seventh-day Adventist
00:09:13.48\00:09:18.16
have literally gleaned
from the Bible over the years
00:09:18.19\00:09:21.71
and have become the
Pillars of our Christian faith.
00:09:21.74\00:09:24.03
And they were so
impressed by it, they began
00:09:24.06\00:09:26.96
to study and study.
00:09:26.99\00:09:28.52
And they said these
songs of some of the beliefs
00:09:28.55\00:09:31.00
are incredible.
00:09:31.03\00:09:32.00
Not Seventh-day Adventists.
00:09:32.01\00:09:33.59
They knew a few
Seventh-day Adventists.
00:09:34.24\00:09:36.11
I've known Kris
for 28 years or longer.
00:09:36.14\00:09:39.62
I've known Dave several years.
00:09:39.65\00:09:41.33
But as they began to
study the message they said,
00:09:41.36\00:09:43.55
"This is incredible. "
00:09:43.58\00:09:44.63
They said, "We're
musicians, we're not really just
00:09:44.66\00:09:48.11
necessarily writers to
do books, we're musicians.
00:09:48.14\00:09:50.27
We could put this to music. "
00:09:50.30\00:09:51.57
And they did, and so we'll
talk about that a little more.
00:09:51.60\00:09:54.64
So I'm just so thankful
and they're going to be here
00:09:54.67\00:09:56.92
for the rest of the camp meeting
and they've got sheet music
00:09:56.95\00:09:59.50
and all that ready.
00:09:59.53\00:10:00.82
But next, I have asked someone
tonight, special, to come out
00:10:00.85\00:10:04.91
and I'm going to love
this shirt he's wearing.
00:10:04.94\00:10:06.97
Come out, Nathan.
00:10:07.00\00:10:07.97
Now you look at this.
00:10:09.38\00:10:10.35
Is that sharp or what?
00:10:10.36\00:10:11.86
I'm going to, this is
my buddy Nathan Young.
00:10:11.89\00:10:15.61
Nathan also, you've heard
him on the Pillars singing
00:10:15.64\00:10:19.84
all the songs.
00:10:19.87\00:10:20.84
Nathan wasn't
planning on singing tonight.
00:10:20.87\00:10:23.49
Can you imagine a guy
with this kind of voice not
00:10:23.52\00:10:25.76
planning on singing?
00:10:25.79\00:10:26.76
He came dressed
to sit in the crowd.
00:10:26.77\00:10:29.10
And I said, "Nathan,
we've got to have you sing. "
00:10:29.60\00:10:32.02
And he said, "I'm not dressed. "
00:10:32.05\00:10:33.06
And I said, "Yes you are.
I like that shirt a lot. "
00:10:33.09\00:10:36.25
I like that shirt.
Don't you like that shirt?
00:10:37.01\00:10:39.06
I think that's a
camp meeting shirt.
00:10:39.09\00:10:41.29
See, they love it.
00:10:41.32\00:10:42.73
So impromptu, again
with David and Kris here,
00:10:42.76\00:10:46.53
I asked you to do something.
00:10:46.56\00:10:48.18
And he said, "I'll do one of the
great old hymns of the church. "
00:10:48.21\00:10:50.58
And so you only got together
just a couple of minutes.
00:10:50.61\00:10:53.10
And what are you
going to do for us, Nathan?
00:10:53.13\00:10:54.95
His Eye Is On The Sparrow.
00:10:54.98\00:10:56.00
Alright, thank you.
We're looking forward to it.
00:10:56.03\00:10:57.85
Thank you.
00:10:57.89\00:10:58.93
Why should I
00:11:09.47\00:11:13.55
feel discouraged,
00:11:13.58\00:11:20.29
and why should the shadows fall,
00:11:20.99\00:11:29.39
why should my heart
00:11:30.98\00:11:36.26
feel lonely,
00:11:36.29\00:11:39.39
and long for heaven my home,
00:11:39.42\00:11:47.96
when Jesus is my portion?
00:11:50.43\00:11:59.15
A constant friend is He.
00:12:00.16\00:12:09.20
His eye is on the sparrow
00:12:09.70\00:12:19.63
and I know
00:12:21.37\00:12:27.24
He watches me.
00:12:27.27\00:12:34.39
For I sing
because I'm, I'm so happy.
00:12:34.42\00:12:44.31
And I sing because I'm free.
00:12:46.46\00:12:56.41
His eye is on the sparrow
00:12:58.37\00:13:08.31
and I know He
watches, He watches over me.
00:13:09.43\00:13:19.38
For I sing because I'm happy.
00:13:20.07\00:13:30.07
Oh, I sing because I'm free.
00:13:30.10\00:13:40.02
His eye is on the sparrow
00:13:40.53\00:13:50.49
and I know
00:13:51.63\00:13:59.23
He watches
00:13:59.26\00:14:04.83
over me.
00:14:04.86\00:14:14.81
Amen.
00:14:18.16\00:14:19.93
Nathan, I took a guess you have
a little bit of black in you,
00:14:24.20\00:14:26.95
but I didn't know
David Huntsinger did.
00:14:26.98\00:14:28.65
I'm very suspicious
when you hear him play.
00:14:30.00\00:14:32.89
I'm very suspicious because
he's got some soul in there,
00:14:32.92\00:14:35.96
doesn't he.
00:14:35.99\00:14:36.96
He's got some soul in there.
00:14:36.97\00:14:37.94
He does, alright.
00:14:37.95\00:14:38.92
Yes, we need to get
him some tanning cream.
00:14:38.93\00:14:40.63
I didn't say that, he did.
00:14:42.35\00:14:44.33
Alright, thank you Nathan.
00:14:44.36\00:14:46.39
Would you love to hear
a little behind the scenes
00:14:46.42\00:14:48.38
story about Nathan?
00:14:48.41\00:14:49.72
When we were at Battle Creek,
did you all see how high those..
00:14:49.75\00:14:53.00
The roster must have been up,
what was that, 8 or 10 stairs?
00:14:53.03\00:14:57.16
Probably ten.
00:14:57.19\00:14:58.52
Ten, yeah. It felt like ten?
00:14:58.55\00:15:00.13
Nathan, right before the
Pillars project, was practicing
00:15:00.16\00:15:04.23
getting ready to go live.
00:15:04.26\00:15:05.38
And he went to step and
he somehow missed a step.
00:15:05.41\00:15:08.85
And I think he was
trying not to step on a monitor?
00:15:08.88\00:15:10.82
I was trying not to
step on the monitor.
00:15:10.85\00:15:12.16
And he did a rolling and he went
all the way down those steps.
00:15:12.19\00:15:16.87
Now, talk about a trooper.
00:15:16.90\00:15:19.00
Tell them what
you did when you fell.
00:15:20.25\00:15:22.72
I broke my tail bone.
00:15:22.75\00:15:23.92
He broke his tail bone
but didn't complain about it,
00:15:23.95\00:15:27.26
he got up and sang.
00:15:27.29\00:15:28.26
That ought to tell us something,
you know what I'm saying.
00:15:28.27\00:15:30.14
A lot of us, we'd be
home crying, wouldn't we?
00:15:30.17\00:15:32.27
I'd be home with
big tears crying.
00:15:32.30\00:15:34.38
That was a few days later.
00:15:34.41\00:15:35.62
Yea, he said a few days
later it really got to him.
00:15:35.65\00:15:40.73
And we felt so bad. I
said, "Nathan, it's terrible.
00:15:40.76\00:15:43.19
I feel terrible that you've
fallen and hurt yourself. "
00:15:43.22\00:15:45.89
He said, "Don't worry about
it. I'm a professional faller. "
00:15:45.92\00:15:48.77
And I said, "Really?"
00:15:49.07\00:15:50.65
And he said...
00:15:50.68\00:15:51.65
He went to an ATM, his
brother-in-law was driving
00:15:51.66\00:15:55.10
and went to an ATM machine.
00:15:55.13\00:15:56.44
And what happened?
00:15:56.47\00:15:57.44
I fell in front of the car
and my brother-in-law, with his
00:15:57.45\00:16:00.05
loving self, rolled
down the window and said,
00:16:00.08\00:16:02.27
"I give it a six, you
didn't have your legs together
00:16:02.30\00:16:04.78
as you fell through the air. "
00:16:04.81\00:16:06.11
They're grading him on
his falls whether it's a six.
00:16:07.37\00:16:10.73
This was a ten in Battle Creek.
00:16:10.76\00:16:12.63
That was a good one.
00:16:12.66\00:16:13.78
They might deduct a point
before the tail bone break.
00:16:13.81\00:16:17.28
I'm not sure.
00:16:17.31\00:16:18.29
But this guy is such a trooper.
00:16:18.32\00:16:21.01
Incredible singer, he's
a professional musician.
00:16:21.04\00:16:23.10
Does a lot of backup singing.
00:16:23.13\00:16:24.33
You sing with CeCe Winans
and number of other folks.
00:16:24.36\00:16:27.15
And so we appreciate
you and love you Nathan.
00:16:27.18\00:16:30.11
Thank you for having
me. I'm glad to be here.
00:16:30.14\00:16:31.47
Thank you so much. God bless.
00:16:31.50\00:16:32.86
A great guy.
00:16:34.28\00:16:35.27
Nathan sang, I think he
said at his aunt's funeral,
00:16:38.83\00:16:44.06
or aunt,
however we pronounce it,
00:16:44.71\00:16:46.58
at her funeral, Land of Canaan.
00:16:46.61\00:16:50.51
And he said, as his
aunt was dying she said,
00:16:51.21\00:16:56.77
"If heaven is that beautiful,
that's where I want to go. "
00:16:56.80\00:16:59.74
And so he said she was
listening to that, literally,
00:16:59.77\00:17:05.20
minutes or so
before she expired.
00:17:05.23\00:17:07.24
And so he sang
it at the funeral.
00:17:07.27\00:17:09.34
Because heaven is
that beautiful, right?
00:17:09.37\00:17:11.21
For sure.
00:17:11.24\00:17:12.21
Well, heaven is only
assured to us because
00:17:12.22\00:17:15.73
of God's amazing grace.
00:17:15.76\00:17:17.25
So we've asked David Huntsinger
and Kris to do Amazing Grace.
00:17:17.28\00:17:20.66
Amen.
00:19:38.59\00:19:40.61
Amen, thank you.
It was very beautiful.
00:19:45.95\00:19:47.85
Well we wanted to talk just
a little bit while we had time.
00:19:47.88\00:19:51.13
The rest of the camp
meeting is literally one program
00:19:51.16\00:19:55.25
after another, and Friday
night and all day Sabbath.
00:19:55.28\00:19:57.59
And we really don't
have time to talk about it.
00:19:57.62\00:19:59.56
But I came back from
Nashville pretty excited
00:19:59.59\00:20:02.40
this past year, didn't I.
00:20:02.43\00:20:04.15
You did.
00:20:04.18\00:20:05.15
And I came back and I had
actually met with Dave and Kris.
00:20:05.16\00:20:08.61
I said this once before,
but you have to meet somewhere
00:20:08.64\00:20:12.19
so we met in Nashville and
we met at a Cheesecake Factory.
00:20:12.22\00:20:14.67
I mean, if you've got
to do business somewhere.
00:20:14.70\00:20:18.13
So we met there,
ET Everett was there.
00:20:18.16\00:20:20.54
And so we were there
talking about another project,
00:20:20.57\00:20:23.93
them doing some
music for another project.
00:20:23.96\00:20:26.58
And David started
telling me that Margie Rice,
00:20:26.61\00:20:30.49
actually, she had said to
us, "I want to do a new project,
00:20:30.52\00:20:34.39
a new album. "
00:20:34.42\00:20:35.39
Older folks call them
albums. You know, CD's.
00:20:35.40\00:20:38.01
"I want to do a
project, a new album.
00:20:38.04\00:20:40.44
And who could we...
I really want some... "
00:20:40.47\00:20:42.87
So we said, "Look, the best folk
we know is what we recommend. "
00:20:42.90\00:20:46.82
You know, Kris and David.
00:20:46.85\00:20:48.04
And so anyway,
they got with Margie.
00:20:48.07\00:20:50.22
They found out she was
a Seventh-day Adventist.
00:20:50.25\00:20:52.69
And Dave, I guess you said
she really wanted to do a song
00:20:52.72\00:20:55.69
on the Sabbath so
you decided to write one.
00:20:55.72\00:20:57.79
Well, Margie is a
great song writer and I loved
00:20:58.45\00:21:01.95
what she wrote.
00:21:01.98\00:21:02.95
But I started studying
online the Seventh-day Adventist
00:21:02.96\00:21:06.37
history; the founders
Ellen White and William Miller
00:21:06.40\00:21:08.92
and some others.
00:21:08.95\00:21:09.92
And I said, "Margie,
where are the Adventist songs?"
00:21:09.93\00:21:12.92
And she said,
"Well, write something. "
00:21:12.95\00:21:17.58
So I wrote,
Remember The Sabbath.
00:21:17.61\00:21:19.31
And it just opened up a whole
area of research and spiritual
00:21:19.34\00:21:24.09
quest on my own part and
Pillars kind of came from that.
00:21:24.12\00:21:27.69
So you went from
one subject to another.
00:21:28.20\00:21:30.23
Absolutely.
00:21:30.26\00:21:31.24
I discovered
Ellen White's writings.
00:21:31.27\00:21:32.91
I had heard of her but
knew nothing about her.
00:21:32.94\00:21:35.26
When I came across "the language
of Canaan" from her first
00:21:35.29\00:21:38.63
vision of heaven, God
just said, "Write this. "
00:21:38.66\00:21:43.18
And I was in shock that the
song had not been written yet,
00:21:43.21\00:21:46.85
it was so
beautifully poetic and moving.
00:21:46.88\00:21:48.70
So it developed from there.
00:21:50.13\00:21:52.06
And Kris, now you got
excited about it also, right?
00:21:53.22\00:21:56.38
Kris has the
Nashville String Machine for
00:21:56.85\00:22:00.15
many, many years still.
00:22:00.18\00:22:01.66
That's when she
has an orchestra,
00:22:01.69\00:22:03.36
basically string machine.
00:22:03.39\00:22:05.68
And they do backup and you
play for all kinds of, you know,
00:22:05.71\00:22:09.31
people in Nashville, recordings.
00:22:09.34\00:22:11.38
Yea, I travel all
over the world playing on
00:22:11.41\00:22:15.58
other people's records.
00:22:15.61\00:22:16.94
And we just feel so blessed
to get to work on something
00:22:16.97\00:22:22.07
that was given to us.
00:22:22.10\00:22:24.22
This was truly God inspired and
we've gotten to use our talents
00:22:24.25\00:22:31.01
for something
like this, you know.
00:22:31.04\00:22:33.60
It's just amazing.
00:22:33.63\00:22:35.28
And so David, you say in your
own life it's been life changing
00:22:37.53\00:22:40.71
for you, these
songs, as you wrote them and
00:22:40.74\00:22:42.59
as you studied more.
00:22:42.62\00:22:43.60
My understanding was, I heard
it said that you were almost
00:22:43.63\00:22:46.96
going day and night and
couldn't hardly slow down
00:22:46.99\00:22:49.66
because you just kept going
from one subject to another.
00:22:49.69\00:22:52.16
It was just so interesting and
the reading about the history
00:22:52.19\00:22:56.53
and the pioneers
and the sacrifice,
00:22:56.56\00:22:58.39
and just some the
beautiful, beautiful beliefs.
00:22:58.42\00:23:01.23
The sanctuary
doctrine, what a great thought.
00:23:01.26\00:23:05.49
Christ is
interceding for us now,
00:23:06.10\00:23:09.14
He's ministering for us now.
00:23:09.17\00:23:10.86
And know that, in some
circles, it's considered to be a
00:23:10.89\00:23:14.63
controversial doctrine,
but I just went to the Bible.
00:23:14.66\00:23:17.00
There it is.
00:23:17.03\00:23:18.01
And I'm a Christian, so
I had no trouble with that
00:23:18.83\00:23:21.03
and I embraced it fully.
00:23:21.06\00:23:22.80
It's been a real blessing
working on this for a year.
00:23:22.83\00:23:25.16
And also, the health
message has literally
00:23:26.19\00:23:29.57
saved David's life this year.
00:23:29.60\00:23:31.98
Tell us about how the
health message saved your life.
00:23:32.01\00:23:34.63
I'm diabetic and when I
was first diagnosed about
00:23:34.66\00:23:37.47
14 year ago at 40, I did okay.
00:23:37.50\00:23:39.63
And then I just sort of
lapsed into a lack of discipline
00:23:39.66\00:23:43.15
and the last couple of
years I've been out of control.
00:23:43.18\00:23:45.48
I ended up in the
hospital last September.
00:23:45.51\00:23:48.50
I had to have a surgery
and I was scared to death.
00:23:48.53\00:23:51.60
And God has His
ways of dealing with us.
00:23:51.63\00:23:55.64
Kris ran into a
gentleman on an elevator who was
00:23:55.67\00:23:59.17
Seventh-day Adventist
and he said that he was
00:23:59.20\00:24:02.17
ministering to
people in the hospital.
00:24:02.20\00:24:03.39
She sent him my way.
00:24:03.42\00:24:04.97
He came into the room and
just started talking to me.
00:24:05.54\00:24:08.65
I was on antibiotics
and pain pills and he just
00:24:08.68\00:24:12.23
ministered to me.
00:24:12.26\00:24:13.29
I talked to somebody who
called me a few days ago,
00:24:13.32\00:24:15.30
and he said that might
have been an angel unaware.
00:24:15.33\00:24:17.37
And I said I would agree with
you except that I saw him at
00:24:17.87\00:24:20.92
church, I went to First church,
Seventh-day Adventist church
00:24:20.95\00:24:24.53
in Nashville and
he was in the choir.
00:24:24.56\00:24:26.21
I almost burst out crying.
00:24:26.24\00:24:28.59
Well all of our churches
have angels in the choir.
00:24:28.62\00:24:30.40
I think so.
00:24:30.43\00:24:31.49
But anyway, I've
lost some weight.
00:24:32.71\00:24:34.84
I joke, I say that I have
5 pounds to loose and then
00:24:34.87\00:24:39.04
I'll be on maintenance.
00:24:39.07\00:24:40.04
But I've slowly lost weight
over these last few months.
00:24:40.05\00:24:42.65
I'm a vegetarian, I've read
a lot about the health message
00:24:42.68\00:24:46.09
and it's wonderful.
00:24:46.12\00:24:49.00
Tell them about the
insulin, that you're the only
00:24:49.03\00:24:51.30
patient of his doctor
that has ever been able to
00:24:51.33\00:24:54.80
get off of insulin.
00:24:54.83\00:24:56.46
Completely off of insulin.
00:24:57.01\00:24:58.56
Just from eating according
to Biblical principles,
00:25:00.27\00:25:03.90
which just makes sense.
00:25:03.93\00:25:05.16
Kris, you became a
vegetarian a long time ago.
00:25:05.19\00:25:08.71
You know, I remember when
Danny, I mean we go so far back.
00:25:09.10\00:25:14.53
that I was only 10 years
old when we met, you know.
00:25:14.56\00:25:17.38
That's probably
true. I think I was 12.
00:25:18.10\00:25:20.36
Yea, that's right.
00:25:20.39\00:25:21.74
But when you first
started telling me about the
00:25:22.81\00:25:26.78
health message, and
actually I knew Danny before
00:25:26.82\00:25:31.35
3ABN was even founded.
00:25:31.38\00:25:33.31
And I use to think, "Hmmm,
I like this guy but he's got
00:25:33.34\00:25:38.24
some crazy ideas. "
00:25:38.27\00:25:39.56
But look where we are
now and it's truly a miracle.
00:25:39.59\00:25:44.39
We will never
forget Battle Creek.
00:25:44.42\00:25:47.11
And that's when the
music was first played in any
00:25:47.14\00:25:51.57
kind of a public setting.
00:25:51.60\00:25:52.87
So, how many of you
here were in Battle Creek?
00:25:54.00\00:25:56.50
I know a number of you
were. I see Dr. Walt back there.
00:25:56.53\00:25:59.07
There was not a
dry eye in the place.
00:25:59.37\00:26:02.87
Isn't that right JD and Shelley?
00:26:03.07\00:26:04.92
God is using it, He is using
it to focus the whole message,
00:26:04.95\00:26:11.55
a spot light on our
pillars of our faith;
00:26:11.58\00:26:15.90
the truths that God has given
us that He wants us to uphold.
00:26:15.93\00:26:20.67
And He wants us to
be strong with them.
00:26:20.70\00:26:22.87
He doesn't want us to
be obnoxious with them,
00:26:22.90\00:26:25.30
but He wants us to be firm
and He wants us to be steadfast
00:26:25.33\00:26:29.50
in what we believe and
cry out to a world that,
00:26:29.53\00:26:33.89
"this is the
way, walk ye in it. "
00:26:33.92\00:26:36.84
What really encouraged me with
this and when, David, we were
00:26:36.97\00:26:40.35
meeting on another
project and then he said,
00:26:40.38\00:26:43.84
"You know, there are
just so many doctrines.
00:26:43.87\00:26:46.11
They're so
wonderful, they're truths. "
00:26:46.14\00:26:48.38
Be he said, "I started visiting
some Adventist churches. "
00:26:48.41\00:26:51.80
And you tell it from
there. You didn't hear...
00:26:51.83\00:26:55.39
Well they're
wonderful, wonderful churches
00:26:55.42\00:26:58.24
and wonderful people and I
enjoyed the worship service.
00:26:58.27\00:27:00.36
But I was not hearing...
00:27:00.39\00:27:01.90
I was excited, I
had discovered Adventism
00:27:02.27\00:27:04.98
and all these
wonderful doctrines.
00:27:05.01\00:27:07.03
And I know that Adventism is
nothing less than Christianity,
00:27:07.06\00:27:11.13
Biblical Christianity.
00:27:11.16\00:27:12.96
And my thinking is like, "I
want to hear this proclaimed.
00:27:12.99\00:27:17.24
Tell me about the sanctuary. "
00:27:17.27\00:27:18.66
And anyway, it just encouraged
me to, it inspired me to want to
00:27:19.16\00:27:22.51
write some songs
that were direct and bold,
00:27:22.54\00:27:24.61
but not obnoxious.
00:27:24.64\00:27:26.06
Yea, so he said he went to
a number of different churches
00:27:26.09\00:27:29.38
and people didn't seem excited
about all of the messages;
00:27:29.41\00:27:32.62
the spirit of prophecy, the
state of the dead, the Sabbath.
00:27:32.65\00:27:35.37
And he told me, he said, "We
need to write this music just
00:27:35.40\00:27:39.58
so your people can
relook at it again. "
00:27:39.61\00:27:41.94
And I said, "That's
the pillars of our faith
00:27:41.97\00:27:43.55
you're talking about. "
00:27:43.58\00:27:44.55
And, you know, we do take for
granted so much what we have,
00:27:44.56\00:27:47.92
whatever blessings God gives us.
00:27:47.95\00:27:50.90
And our theology is one
of those and sometimes we can
00:27:50.93\00:27:53.45
be lulled to sleep.
00:27:53.48\00:27:54.68
But when you get some folk
like these that are literally
00:27:54.71\00:27:59.06
renowned musicians and writers
that have such an incredible
00:27:59.09\00:28:04.58
history in music that
catch the vision and say,
00:28:04.61\00:28:09.18
"We want to work with
this project," and they did.
00:28:09.21\00:28:11.44
And now, just take a
minute about this sheet music.
00:28:11.47\00:28:13.66
Everybody's asking questions.
00:28:13.69\00:28:15.52
I just want to
say I'm so excited,
00:28:16.74\00:28:18.78
something you just said.
00:28:18.81\00:28:20.22
Here's our song book and inside
of that, Danny, is one of our
00:28:20.25\00:28:25.86
individual sheets of music.
00:28:25.89\00:28:27.40
But every day we're getting
new inspiration of how to
00:28:27.43\00:28:31.72
get this word out.
00:28:31.75\00:28:32.72
And one thing that I just want
to say that David came up with.
00:28:32.74\00:28:36.99
We've written out the
piano parts like they are
00:28:37.02\00:28:40.49
on the record, but not
everybody can play that.
00:28:40.52\00:28:42.98
But yet they want
to play this music.
00:28:43.01\00:28:45.31
So David, tell
them what you've done.
00:28:45.34\00:28:48.44
In the book, we have the
arrangements just as they
00:28:48.47\00:28:52.10
were recorded by
Reggie and Ladye and Nathan
00:28:52.13\00:28:55.28
and the Andrews
University Choir.
00:28:55.31\00:28:57.54
But for people that just want to
sit down to a piano and organ,
00:28:57.57\00:29:00.57
we have done an
arrangement of each song as well
00:29:00.60\00:29:03.07
that looks like a hymnal.
00:29:03.10\00:29:04.75
Because everybody doesn't
want a nine page arrangement.
00:29:05.91\00:29:08.29
You just want to sit at
home and worship and sing or
00:29:08.32\00:29:10.68
sing with your family,
so the book is going to have
00:29:10.71\00:29:13.45
those simple arrangements.
00:29:13.48\00:29:14.45
And then when you want to
do special music at church
00:29:14.46\00:29:16.96
or an event, you can play
the piano vocal arrangement.
00:29:16.99\00:29:19.73
But a lot of people are going to
enjoy that because it's simple.
00:29:19.76\00:29:22.62
Amen.
00:29:24.27\00:29:25.24
I just wanted to say also on
each song, what we've done is
00:29:25.26\00:29:31.73
we have a little scripture
and a little description
00:29:31.76\00:29:36.32
of what inspired this
song, and even a little picture.
00:29:36.35\00:29:40.69
Because a lot of times I
think people look at sheet music
00:29:40.72\00:29:45.06
and it's so
complex looking to them.
00:29:45.09\00:29:48.88
They want to play it but
it's, you know, it's not for
00:29:48.91\00:29:54.39
the layman, it's
more for professionals.
00:29:54.43\00:29:56.86
So we want this to be a
message that reaches everybody.
00:29:56.89\00:30:00.99
This is an idea.
00:30:01.69\00:30:02.66
I mean, these guys are a lot
better marketers than we are.
00:30:02.67\00:30:05.08
We've had this
truth for so many years.
00:30:05.11\00:30:06.89
Now look at this, Jim.
What do you see right there?
00:30:06.92\00:30:08.97
I see Ellen White.
00:30:09.00\00:30:09.97
The Language of Canaan.
00:30:09.98\00:30:10.95
This will be going in
bookstores all over America
00:30:10.96\00:30:13.80
and around the world.
00:30:13.83\00:30:14.80
There's a
picture of Ellen White.
00:30:14.81\00:30:15.84
It's "The Language of Canaan"
and they put her picture in
00:30:15.87\00:30:18.30
and tell about it.
00:30:18.33\00:30:19.30
"Ellen White's vision
of heaven is the source. "
00:30:19.31\00:30:21.53
And some of us are ashamed
to say anything about her.
00:30:21.56\00:30:23.78
See what I'm saying.
00:30:23.81\00:30:25.07
Does somebody hear me
out there or am I by myself?
00:30:25.10\00:30:27.62
These folk aren't
ashamed her, right?
00:30:27.65\00:30:29.89
So they put her picture
on there and talk about her.
00:30:29.92\00:30:32.56
"Her vision of heaven is
the source of the chord lyric
00:30:32.59\00:30:35.29
to The Language of Canaan.
00:30:35.32\00:30:36.68
The Lord showed young
Ellen Gould a beautiful picture
00:30:36.71\00:30:41.13
of heaven when she
was 16 years old. "
00:30:41.16\00:30:43.74
Then it says, "Courtesy
of the Ellen White Estates. "
00:30:43.77\00:30:46.75
So when the sheet music...
00:30:46.78\00:30:47.90
People who buy it,
they're going to say,
00:30:47.93\00:30:49.32
"Well, who is Ellen White?"
00:30:49.35\00:30:50.84
I mean, honestly, is
that from the Lord or what.
00:30:50.87\00:30:53.53
And William Miller...
00:30:53.56\00:30:54.63
I think I saw for "I Fixed
My Mind" that it was written
00:30:54.66\00:30:57.52
because of William
Miller's statement, Jim.
00:30:57.55\00:30:59.67
And so they have a
picture of William Miller and
00:30:59.70\00:31:01.63
it tells about him.
00:31:01.66\00:31:02.63
And these songs,
it's incredible ideas.
00:31:02.64\00:31:04.56
We want this book, like
the entire Pillars of our Faith
00:31:04.59\00:31:07.35
program, not just the
music but all the sermons,
00:31:07.38\00:31:10.01
this whole year of celebrating
God's faithfulness to 3ABN.
00:31:10.04\00:31:13.38
We want that to be a
message to the world.
00:31:13.41\00:31:16.32
We all know without going into
a lot of detail that the world
00:31:17.11\00:31:19.60
is in a bad place right now.
00:31:19.63\00:31:21.50
Christ is going to come and
we need to get the message out.
00:31:21.53\00:31:25.54
We want this book to
be a ministering tool.
00:31:25.57\00:31:28.32
You know, when David
wrote these, he brought them to
00:31:28.99\00:31:32.19
CA and John, and
he brought them to me.
00:31:32.22\00:31:34.31
And, Danny, we looked at them
thinking that we might have to
00:31:34.34\00:31:38.30
make some maybe major
adjustments to some of the
00:31:38.33\00:31:41.76
theology that was there.
00:31:41.79\00:31:43.23
We didn't have to do that.
00:31:43.26\00:31:44.70
The Lord had led him.
00:31:44.73\00:31:45.73
He had done his
study, done his research.
00:31:45.76\00:31:47.76
The Bible is clear, it is plain.
00:31:47.79\00:31:51.36
If you let the Bible
be its own interpreter,
00:31:51.39\00:31:54.46
you will not be
confused about what it teaches.
00:31:54.49\00:31:57.54
It's when you let man
start telling you what it says
00:31:57.57\00:32:00.84
that you get into trouble.
00:32:00.87\00:32:02.39
That's exactly right.
00:32:02.42\00:32:04.90
And we have talked to
prisoners numerous times
00:32:04.93\00:32:07.99
that have written to
us, folks incarcerated,
00:32:08.02\00:32:11.12
and they say to us, "We're so
thankful that we have somebody
00:32:11.15\00:32:15.48
who agrees with us
about the Sabbath. "
00:32:15.51\00:32:17.70
And here's what they say.
00:32:17.73\00:32:18.80
"I was not raised
in a Christian home.
00:32:18.83\00:32:21.70
Didn't hear God except
when His name was used in vain.
00:32:21.73\00:32:24.85
And I've been in prison... "
00:32:24.88\00:32:26.96
They might be 50 years old.
00:32:26.99\00:32:28.29
"I've been in prison
since I was 18 years old.
00:32:28.32\00:32:30.69
So I started reading
the Bible several years ago
00:32:30.72\00:32:33.65
and every chaplain that comes
in here, I want to talk to him
00:32:33.68\00:32:37.64
about the truths but nobody
believes, nobody keeps the
00:32:37.67\00:32:41.87
seventh day Sabbath
and we don't know why. "
00:32:41.90\00:32:43.93
They say, "Because it's in the
Bible and we can't figure out
00:32:43.96\00:32:46.68
why don't people do
what the Bible says. "
00:32:46.71\00:32:48.39
And now, these are
people with no background,
00:32:48.89\00:32:50.94
no one said anything
or tried to encourage them
00:32:50.97\00:32:53.10
one way or the other.
00:32:53.13\00:32:54.10
And the one guy said to me,
"And it's so easy when you read
00:32:54.11\00:32:57.22
all of the scripture to
try to weight in the balances
00:32:57.25\00:33:00.28
that when a person dies, he
goes to sleep and he doesn't
00:33:00.31\00:33:03.02
go to heaven or hell
until after Christ comes back. "
00:33:03.05\00:33:05.60
And he says, "But nobody agrees.
00:33:05.63\00:33:07.40
All of these
preachers tell me I don't know
00:33:07.43\00:33:08.81
what I'm talking about. "
00:33:08.84\00:33:09.81
And he said, "I
started watching 3ABN when it
00:33:09.82\00:33:12.11
came into our prison and I
said that's where I belong.
00:33:12.14\00:33:14.71
They're teaching
what this Bible says. "
00:33:14.74\00:33:17.13
He said, "I was a
holdout for many years.
00:33:17.16\00:33:19.55
I decided I wasn't
going to join a church. "
00:33:19.58\00:33:21.66
But you see, the
truth is there but we
00:33:21.69\00:33:24.43
need to be getting it out.
00:33:24.46\00:33:25.43
What David and Kris
are doing is incredible.
00:33:25.44\00:33:28.39
God is willing to use
anyone willing to be used.
00:33:28.42\00:33:31.45
And He's bringing
people like David and Kris.
00:33:31.48\00:33:33.59
And Nathan told me, he said,
"I'm singing this," and he said,
00:33:33.62\00:33:36.57
"I thought this was maybe for
just this venue with Adventist.
00:33:36.60\00:33:39.81
But its songs are so
caught on I'm singing it in
00:33:39.84\00:33:42.42
Methodist churches
and Baptist churches.
00:33:42.45\00:33:44.34
And I'm singing it in
these churches and the people
00:33:44.37\00:33:46.43
love the music. "
00:33:46.46\00:33:47.43
Well listen, it's
an exciting thing.
00:33:47.62\00:33:49.98
It really is.
00:33:50.01\00:33:50.98
And Danny, we're going to get
to hear some more music here,
00:33:50.99\00:33:54.13
from some of those that have
been singing on these albums.
00:33:54.16\00:33:57.81
We sure are.
00:33:57.84\00:33:58.81
Who do we have coming?
00:33:58.82\00:33:59.79
Alright, I want to
thank David and Kris.
00:33:59.80\00:34:01.67
And then we're going to
ask Reggie and Ladye Love Smith
00:34:01.70\00:34:04.08
and Melody, I think Melody Dawn
is going to be sing with them.
00:34:04.11\00:34:07.49
Right?
00:34:07.52\00:34:08.49
Melody Dawn Shelton-Firestone.
00:34:09.07\00:34:10.91
I'm going to have to give
her name because some of you
00:34:10.94\00:34:12.62
are going to say,
"Where did she go?"
00:34:12.65\00:34:14.15
Well this is what's left of her.
The best part stayed with her.
00:34:14.18\00:34:17.68
See that, the pretty part.
00:34:17.71\00:34:20.19
Melody, I had never noticed how
much we look alike until now.
00:34:20.22\00:34:24.26
Isn't she cute,
isn't she pretty.
00:34:24.29\00:34:26.91
I'm just kidding her.
00:34:26.94\00:34:28.36
Melody looks like her mother
and her mother was beautiful
00:34:28.39\00:34:31.56
and you're beautiful,
and I love you very much.
00:34:31.59\00:34:33.61
So you're going to
be singing tonight with
00:34:33.64\00:34:35.94
Reggie and Ladye Love Smith.
00:34:35.97\00:34:37.36
Now these folk, how many of you
have seen the Gaither videos?
00:34:37.39\00:34:40.08
You ever seen
Reggie and Lady Love?
00:34:40.11\00:34:41.64
Be honest now, raise your hands.
Alright, now hands are going up.
00:34:41.67\00:34:44.48
There you go.
00:34:44.51\00:34:45.48
And, Reggie, I hear in the last
couple of months you've been
00:34:45.49\00:34:48.22
singing some with
the Gaither Vocal Band.
00:34:48.25\00:34:50.25
Just filling in
for Michael English.
00:34:50.28\00:34:53.23
And that's incredible.
00:34:53.26\00:34:54.93
And we got to know
Reggie and Ladye a few years ago
00:34:54.96\00:34:58.25
and fell in love with them.
00:34:58.28\00:34:59.41
Do you know why?
Because they love Jesus.
00:34:59.44\00:35:01.49
They love Jesus and it shows.
00:35:01.52\00:35:03.91
When Melody was a little
girl, her mother was killed
00:35:03.94\00:35:08.53
in a car wreck, Kay, when
Melody was just 11 years old.
00:35:08.56\00:35:11.85
But she and Tommy and I
had an old diesel Greyhound bus
00:35:11.88\00:35:14.79
and we travelled for 3
years doing gospel music.
00:35:14.82\00:35:17.27
And I got burned out,
literally, of going places
00:35:17.30\00:35:21.47
and meeting people
and being disappointed
00:35:21.50\00:35:23.76
in groups that seem so spiritual
and then all of a sudden,
00:35:23.79\00:35:27.58
you get to know
them and it's like,
00:35:27.61\00:35:29.17
"Why are they even doing this?"
00:35:29.20\00:35:30.77
Some of them didn't
even claim to be Christians.
00:35:30.80\00:35:33.32
Well years went by, and
it took me a lot of years
00:35:33.35\00:35:36.11
until I began to
meet people like you all
00:35:36.14\00:35:38.22
and meet people
like David and Kris
00:35:38.25\00:35:40.34
and meet people, you know,
Nathan, and started meeting
00:35:40.37\00:35:43.19
wonderful, there's
wonderful people out there
00:35:43.22\00:35:46.00
that love Jesus.
00:35:46.03\00:35:47.67
And I said, you know what?
00:35:47.70\00:35:48.77
It's changing my
whole view on things.
00:35:48.80\00:35:50.55
And so it's such a privilege
to have you guys to be a part of
00:35:50.58\00:35:54.11
this and you've been
singing and you've come to 3ABN
00:35:54.14\00:35:56.58
and you're singing our
records and Melody's and others.
00:35:56.61\00:35:59.38
And thank you so
much for what you do.
00:35:59.41\00:36:01.27
You know we love you.
00:36:01.30\00:36:02.32
Where are you from?
00:36:02.35\00:36:03.32
I'm originally from the
southern part of Mississippi,
00:36:03.33\00:36:05.53
Hattiesburg, Mississippi.
00:36:05.56\00:36:06.53
But we live in
Nashville, Tennessee now.
00:36:06.54\00:36:08.25
Alright, does he sound like
he's from southern Mississippi?
00:36:08.28\00:36:10.48
Nashville.
00:36:10.51\00:36:11.57
Yea.
00:36:11.60\00:36:12.71
Lady Love, what about you?
00:36:13.31\00:36:15.04
I'm from the
north... northern Mississippi.
00:36:15.07\00:36:17.94
A little small town called luka,
Mississippi close to Tupelo.
00:36:20.52\00:36:23.81
Anybody from Mississippi here?
00:36:23.84\00:36:25.83
We've talked, I know.
00:36:26.17\00:36:27.56
Alright, some of you did.
00:36:27.59\00:36:28.80
We've got a couple
over this way, Danny.
00:36:28.83\00:36:29.96
Ok, Mississippi. There you go.
00:36:29.99\00:36:32.02
And where did you guys meet?
00:36:32.42\00:36:34.27
We actually met at the
University of Mississippi,
00:36:34.30\00:36:36.51
formerly known as Ole Miss.
00:36:36.54\00:36:38.63
And she was sitting
next to my six year long
00:36:38.66\00:36:41.26
girlfriend in the choir.
00:36:41.29\00:36:42.58
Wait, say that again.
00:36:42.61\00:36:43.58
Oh, did I say that?
00:36:43.59\00:36:44.56
She was sitting next to who?
00:36:44.57\00:36:45.54
I had a girlfriend, you
know, through high school and
00:36:45.56\00:36:48.17
college for 6 years.
00:36:48.20\00:36:49.40
And I saw this brunette sitting
up there and she was just...
00:36:49.43\00:36:52.20
You know, just ready
to sing and sang so well.
00:36:53.47\00:36:55.90
And when she
opened her mouth to sing?
00:36:55.93\00:36:57.49
I said, "That's the one. "
00:36:57.52\00:36:58.56
You all have been
married how long now?
00:37:00.51\00:37:02.23
We've been married 15 years.
00:37:02.26\00:37:03.62
Alright, praise the Lord.
00:37:03.65\00:37:05.20
Now you've got a little boy.
00:37:05.23\00:37:06.71
We do.
00:37:06.74\00:37:07.79
Tell us about Brett.
00:37:07.82\00:37:08.79
Brett is 7 years old
and he's running around,
00:37:08.82\00:37:12.26
you'll see him
tonight and this weekend.
00:37:12.29\00:37:14.61
Last night he wanted one
of those Kid's Time shirts
00:37:14.64\00:37:17.11
so we got him one
of the Kid's Time.
00:37:17.14\00:37:18.64
He had it on all day today
too. He's worn it 2 days now.
00:37:18.67\00:37:20.73
We'll either wash it
or give him another one.
00:37:21.97\00:37:23.97
Okay.
00:37:24.00\00:37:24.97
That's for sure.
00:37:24.98\00:37:25.95
Well you wrote a song,
I'm sure you've written many,
00:37:25.96\00:37:28.56
but you wrote a
song just recently.
00:37:28.59\00:37:30.28
Tell us about this song.
00:37:30.31\00:37:32.02
Well we just wrote a song,
we just started thinking about
00:37:33.15\00:37:35.52
all the wonderful things
that God has blessed us with.
00:37:35.55\00:37:37.68
And we tried to just think
about some of those things.
00:37:37.71\00:37:41.01
We just wanted to
thank Him and praise Him,
00:37:41.04\00:37:42.70
you know, at a time right
now when there are lots of
00:37:42.73\00:37:45.97
not good things
going on in our world.
00:37:46.00\00:37:47.76
We just need to remember
that God is so good to us.
00:37:47.79\00:37:52.68
And to try to remember the
things that we are grateful for,
00:37:52.71\00:37:55.79
the things that He's
given us and blessed us with.
00:37:55.82\00:37:58.14
And we kind of write this
song and Melody's going to
00:37:58.17\00:38:01.02
sing it with us.
00:38:01.05\00:38:02.03
And it just talks
about those things.
00:38:02.06\00:38:04.39
For all the countless ways
You have blessed me all my days,
00:38:20.45\00:38:27.79
Father, let me pause
to say I give You thanks.
00:38:27.82\00:38:35.33
For the life You've given
me for my friends, my family,
00:38:35.36\00:38:42.71
for every wonder I have seen,
00:38:42.74\00:38:46.49
I give You
thanks, I give You thanks.
00:38:46.52\00:38:54.64
Thank You, Lord.
00:38:54.67\00:39:02.36
Thank You, Lord.
00:39:02.89\00:39:08.95
For all You've done for me
00:39:09.63\00:39:17.37
I thank You, Lord.
00:39:17.40\00:39:25.13
For Your guidance
through the years,
00:39:40.21\00:39:44.03
for Your
presence through my fears,
00:39:44.06\00:39:47.82
for all the joys
and yes, the tears,
00:39:47.85\00:39:51.52
I give You thanks.
00:39:51.55\00:39:55.69
For the
faithfulness You've shown
00:39:55.72\00:39:59.35
as I've faced each dark unknown,
00:39:59.38\00:40:03.16
I have never been
alone, I give You thanks.
00:40:03.19\00:40:09.38
Lord, I give You thanks.
00:40:09.41\00:40:13.51
Sing it with me.
00:40:13.54\00:40:14.51
Thank You, Lord.
00:40:15.01\00:40:21.53
Thank You, Lord.
00:40:22.36\00:40:29.05
For all You've done for me
00:40:29.08\00:40:37.33
I thank You, Lord.
00:40:37.36\00:40:43.95
We thank You.
00:40:43.98\00:40:44.95
We thank You,
Lord. Lord, we thank You.
00:40:44.96\00:40:53.08
Thank You, Lord.
00:40:53.11\00:40:59.51
For all You've done for us
00:41:00.11\00:41:07.79
we thank You, Lord.
00:41:07.82\00:41:13.47
For all You've done.
00:41:13.50\00:41:15.73
For all You've done for us
00:41:15.76\00:41:24.19
we thank You, Lord.
00:41:24.22\00:41:34.14
Amen.
00:41:39.02\00:41:40.81
If I lose it all tomorrow,
00:42:09.16\00:42:15.39
if there's nothing I can do,
00:42:16.20\00:42:22.38
if I have one
breath of life in me,
00:42:23.42\00:42:31.00
I will still trust in You.
00:42:32.24\00:42:37.59
If my dearest
friends forsake me,
00:42:38.57\00:42:45.49
if my heart is torn in two,
00:42:45.52\00:42:52.49
if I'm left alone
to face this world,
00:42:53.29\00:43:01.01
yet I will trust in You.
00:43:01.04\00:43:07.25
Let the mountains
crumble, the seas turn to dust,
00:43:07.91\00:43:14.87
let the sun and the
stars fade from view,
00:43:14.90\00:43:21.15
let the world say I'm
foolish, but still I will trust
00:43:22.93\00:43:30.28
for, Father,
You're forever faithful.
00:43:30.31\00:43:35.62
Always and
forever faithful and true.
00:43:36.62\00:43:41.29
I will still trust in You.
00:43:42.32\00:43:52.20
When my days on earth have ended
00:43:59.80\00:44:06.66
and my struggle here is through,
00:44:06.69\00:44:13.76
and when I slip
into what lies beyond,
00:44:15.13\00:44:22.34
yet I will trust in You.
00:44:22.37\00:44:28.80
I will trust
You, I will trust You,
00:44:30.10\00:44:38.11
trust the Lamb
that reigns on high.
00:44:38.71\00:44:44.57
Let the mountains
crumble, the seas turn to dust,
00:44:44.60\00:44:53.17
let the sun and the
stars fade from view,
00:44:53.20\00:44:58.39
let the world say I'm
foolish, but still I will trust
00:44:59.09\00:45:08.26
for, Father, You're faithful,
00:45:08.29\00:45:11.68
You're so ever
faithful and true.
00:45:11.71\00:45:19.47
I will still trust in You, Lord.
00:45:20.21\00:45:28.25
Father, I'll trust
00:45:28.28\00:45:34.16
in You.
00:45:38.33\00:45:47.29
Amen.
00:45:53.88\00:45:56.17
Thank you. Beautiful, Reggie.
00:45:56.20\00:45:58.11
Alright, God bless.
00:45:58.96\00:46:00.47
Wow, we're having church.
00:46:00.50\00:46:02.63
That's right. That's church.
00:46:02.66\00:46:04.37
That is right.
00:46:04.40\00:46:05.45
You know, one of the great
things about 3ABN is the board.
00:46:05.48\00:46:10.18
We've got a wonderful board.
00:46:10.21\00:46:11.65
Our board chairman is
here tonight, Dr. Thompson.
00:46:11.68\00:46:14.57
He's always with us.
His wife, Avonne, is here.
00:46:14.60\00:46:17.86
Well, we've had some
that for one reason or another
00:46:17.89\00:46:22.77
can't continue; health
reasons or other reasons.
00:46:22.80\00:46:25.65
But we are so thankful for the
contribution that they've made
00:46:25.68\00:46:30.62
with their thoughts,
their ideas, their prayers,
00:46:30.65\00:46:33.57
and their leadership.
00:46:33.60\00:46:34.72
Danny, tell us
about Merlin Fjarli.
00:46:34.75\00:46:37.69
Merlin and Jo Ann Fjarli.
00:46:37.72\00:46:39.24
How many of you
know the Fjarli's?
00:46:39.27\00:46:40.43
I'm sure a lot of folk do.
00:46:40.46\00:46:41.83
Incredible
people, wonderful people.
00:46:41.86\00:46:43.81
And I love Merlin, he's
soft spoken but he knows
00:46:43.84\00:46:47.49
exactly where he's going
and how he's going to get there.
00:46:47.52\00:46:49.83
And you're not going to change
his mind when he's looking
00:46:49.86\00:46:52.83
towards truth and doing
what he believes is right.
00:46:52.86\00:46:55.42
And I say that in a
positive way because Merlin has
00:46:55.45\00:46:59.46
caught the vision of 3ABN's
mission and goal to give an
00:46:59.49\00:47:03.48
undiluted three angels
messages into all the world.
00:47:03.51\00:47:06.53
One that would
counteract the counterfeit.
00:47:06.56\00:47:08.49
And every action about him said,
"I believe you, I support you.
00:47:08.52\00:47:13.07
Not only financially,
but in every way possible.
00:47:13.10\00:47:16.16
And Jo Ann too. "
00:47:16.19\00:47:17.34
And they've been host to us many
times in their beautiful home
00:47:17.37\00:47:20.30
and taking care of
us when we're out there.
00:47:20.33\00:47:21.88
Your mother can cook, I
mean this woman can cook.
00:47:21.91\00:47:25.36
She knows how to do it.
00:47:25.39\00:47:27.58
And they're wonderful people.
00:47:27.61\00:47:29.64
But your dad's had
some health issues.
00:47:29.67\00:47:31.78
In the last year
or so especially.
00:47:31.81\00:47:34.10
And he felt that he no longer
could travel back and forth.
00:47:34.13\00:47:38.98
And so we have asked
Bruce, I said to Bruce,
00:47:39.01\00:47:42.43
"We want you to
take your dad's place. "
00:47:42.46\00:47:44.36
That was a mistake.
00:47:44.39\00:47:45.36
He said, "I could
never take my dad's place. "
00:47:45.37\00:47:47.22
And I said, "No, I
meant fill his shoes. "
00:47:47.25\00:47:49.09
"No," and I knew he'd say,
"I could never fill his shoes. "
00:47:49.12\00:47:51.81
"I mean, we want you
to sit on our board. "
00:47:51.84\00:47:53.95
So he agreed to do that but he
said, "I'm not going to follow,
00:47:53.98\00:47:58.00
you know, I can't
follow that with my dad. "
00:47:58.03\00:47:59.86
And what great respect.
00:47:59.89\00:48:01.09
You don't know what that did to
me yesterday because he said it
00:48:01.12\00:48:04.52
from the heart and he meant it.
00:48:04.55\00:48:05.90
And I said, "What
an incredible family. "
00:48:05.93\00:48:07.95
I mean, how many of us older
folk, you know as we are now,
00:48:07.98\00:48:12.02
how many of us want and
desire to see our children have
00:48:12.05\00:48:16.95
that much love and
respect for what we're doing.
00:48:16.98\00:48:19.56
And so we want to
thank you so much.
00:48:19.59\00:48:21.43
And, Jackie, that you for
being out here and your support
00:48:21.46\00:48:24.39
and what you all are doing.
00:48:24.42\00:48:25.39
Mollie, you have a plaque.
00:48:25.42\00:48:26.90
Well, I've been with
3ABN now for about 15 years.
00:48:26.93\00:48:30.74
And early on, some people
that I got to know that were
00:48:30.77\00:48:34.81
so behind 3ABN, as you
mentioned, were the Fjarli's.
00:48:34.84\00:48:38.64
And 5 years ago, we
asked Merlin to be on the board
00:48:38.67\00:48:41.72
and he graciously accepted.
00:48:41.75\00:48:43.30
And as Danny said a
little earlier that he has had
00:48:43.33\00:48:47.15
some health issues.
00:48:47.18\00:48:48.22
And Bruce, we are so grateful to
you that you are supportive of
00:48:48.25\00:48:51.71
this ministry as well.
00:48:51.74\00:48:53.27
But what we would like to
do is just offer, just in honor
00:48:53.30\00:48:58.19
of Merlin's 5 years, this
00:48:58.22\00:49:00.11
plaque. It says, "To Merlin
Fjarli, in honor of 5 years of
00:49:00.14\00:49:03.84
service on the 3ABN board of
directors from 2005 to 2010. "
00:49:03.87\00:49:08.14
So I'd like to give this to you.
00:49:08.17\00:49:09.70
And Merlin, if
you're watching, Jo Ann...
00:49:09.73\00:49:11.78
We wish you were here
so we could give it to you.
00:49:11.81\00:49:13.88
Amen.
00:49:13.91\00:49:14.88
Let all the people say amen.
00:49:14.89\00:49:16.57
Alright, thank you.
00:49:16.60\00:49:17.70
I'd like to give the glory
to God for such godly parents.
00:49:25.13\00:49:30.70
They have presented an
example of Christian service
00:49:32.58\00:49:40.30
and giving that I
believe is from God.
00:49:40.33\00:49:45.57
And I hope and pray that
I can have the same heart
00:49:45.60\00:49:49.17
and the same service for
3ABN and for Christ's service.
00:49:49.20\00:49:53.15
Thank you.
00:49:53.18\00:49:54.15
Thank you, God bless
you all so much. Thank you.
00:49:54.16\00:49:56.78
We'd like to introduce
Dwight Hall with Remnant.
00:50:00.65\00:50:03.16
How many of you know Dwight?
00:50:03.19\00:50:04.66
Alright, a lot of folk.
You've got a lot of friends.
00:50:04.69\00:50:06.89
Dwight, we have
about 4 or 5 minutes here.
00:50:06.92\00:50:09.24
Tell us what's happening.
00:50:09.27\00:50:10.29
4 or 5 minutes?
00:50:10.32\00:50:11.81
Yea, that's it.
00:50:11.84\00:50:12.81
How did you get
involved in the Pillars project
00:50:12.82\00:50:15.01
and what is Remnant doing?
00:50:15.04\00:50:16.08
Well, one thing I can say is
that I was a month in Australia
00:50:16.11\00:50:20.24
and New Zealand, and someone
picked me up from the airport
00:50:20.27\00:50:22.62
and they said, "I've got this
great tape that you've got to
00:50:22.65\00:50:26.40
listen to, the CD."
00:50:26.43\00:50:27.42
So they put it on and they said,
"Do you know what this is?"
00:50:27.45\00:50:29.32
And I said, "Well
that's the Pillars. "
00:50:29.35\00:50:30.85
So then from there
I went to South Africa
00:50:31.25\00:50:34.41
about a month later.
00:50:34.44\00:50:35.51
And they picked me up at
the airport and they said,
00:50:35.58\00:50:37.15
"You've got to
hear this great CD."
00:50:37.18\00:50:38.79
They said, "Do
you know what it is?"
00:50:38.82\00:50:40.61
And I said, "Yea,
that's the Pillars. "
00:50:40.64\00:50:42.72
And so Danny and Jim
talked to me and we decided that
00:50:44.07\00:50:49.55
what would be better to
marry up the CD with a book
00:50:49.58\00:50:55.02
about the Pillars.
00:50:55.05\00:50:56.26
And that's what
we came out with.
00:50:56.29\00:50:57.62
And that's why I'm
up here this evening.
00:50:57.65\00:50:59.12
And I don't know if they
have a picture, but anyway,
00:50:59.15\00:51:03.03
Danny, you can hold that up.
00:51:03.06\00:51:04.31
But anyway, it's about the
Pillars of the Christian faith.
00:51:05.47\00:51:09.04
And I know that one thing
that I think is important...
00:51:09.07\00:51:13.91
You know, how many
of you have heard of the
00:51:13.94\00:51:15.38
Ten Commandments Twice Removed?
00:51:15.41\00:51:17.01
Yea, most of you.
I hope all of you.
00:51:17.74\00:51:19.12
But you know, that
book was a timely book
00:51:19.15\00:51:22.79
that needed to
get out when it did.
00:51:22.82\00:51:24.37
And there are, I don't
know how many churches,
00:51:24.40\00:51:27.52
33 or 34 whole
churches that changed.
00:51:27.55\00:51:31.17
And now I believe that
this book, with all my heart,
00:51:31.20\00:51:34.42
is a very timely book.
00:51:34.45\00:51:35.66
Yea, from Sunday to Sabbath.
00:51:37.41\00:51:39.56
34 churches, not
counting the thousands of people
00:51:39.59\00:51:43.22
that read that book.
00:51:43.25\00:51:44.22
Listen, books are
vitally important.
00:51:44.23\00:51:46.53
You know, many of us can
talk to friends but books
00:51:47.80\00:51:49.98
will get into places that people
can't get to with their mouths.
00:51:50.01\00:51:54.15
And I am such a
believer in the literature work.
00:51:54.18\00:51:57.52
I've seen the power of the books
and I believe this Pillars book
00:51:57.55\00:52:01.23
is so important.
00:52:01.26\00:52:02.99
David Huntsinger said this
evening that time is short.
00:52:03.02\00:52:07.02
As he started reading
and studying the scriptures
00:52:07.81\00:52:10.01
with these Pillars on the
faith, he started realizing
00:52:10.04\00:52:13.82
more and more, time is short.
00:52:13.85\00:52:15.45
And I believe that we
need to get the message out
00:52:15.48\00:52:17.75
and so we have special prices.
00:52:17.78\00:52:19.73
You can see us at
our booth or see 3ABN.
00:52:19.76\00:52:23.02
We want to see, like the
Ten Commandments Twice Removed,
00:52:23.05\00:52:25.98
to get these out in churches
by the pallets, by the cases.
00:52:26.01\00:52:30.00
You ought to have
some in your vehicle.
00:52:30.03\00:52:32.03
You know, put them on
gas pumps when you get gas.
00:52:32.06\00:52:34.77
I have to ask the question.
00:52:34.80\00:52:35.83
How many of you
ever have gotten gas?
00:52:35.86\00:52:37.47
If you're going to get
gas, don't say you can't
00:52:40.41\00:52:42.55
take and put a book out.
00:52:42.58\00:52:43.71
About half the
people don't drive.
00:52:43.74\00:52:45.34
They didn't raise their hands.
00:52:45.37\00:52:46.94
At least some of you
are honest, aren't you.
00:52:47.56\00:52:49.22
No, just kidding.
00:52:49.25\00:52:50.22
But you know, you can
put a book on a gas pump.
00:52:50.23\00:52:52.77
We have gotten letters and
emails from people that have
00:52:52.80\00:52:56.02
given their heart to
the Lord Jesus Christ
00:52:56.05\00:52:58.05
from a book that
was in a rest area,
00:52:58.08\00:53:00.39
a book that was on a gas pump.
00:53:00.42\00:53:02.29
Somebody threw a
book away in a Laundromat,
00:53:02.89\00:53:07.96
and they threw it away.
00:53:07.99\00:53:10.33
Somebody picked that
book up and was baptized,
00:53:10.36\00:53:13.59
gave their heart to
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:53:13.62\00:53:15.21
So God will put the books
where the people need them.
00:53:15.24\00:53:19.69
Even if it's in the garbage.
00:53:19.72\00:53:20.83
So I just want to encourage
and inspire and energize
00:53:20.86\00:53:24.61
each one of you, if you
aren't, get the books out.
00:53:24.64\00:53:27.91
Well, I want to thank
Dwight for what you do with
00:53:27.94\00:53:30.39
Remnant Publications and your
program you're doing on 3ABN.
00:53:30.42\00:53:33.64
And thank you.
00:53:33.67\00:53:34.67
Dwight has a nose for timing.
00:53:34.70\00:53:36.86
The book that you put out
with the movie some time ago,
00:53:36.89\00:53:40.11
and you put out one or
two million, many a couple
00:53:40.14\00:53:42.55
of million of those.
00:53:42.58\00:53:43.55
Now what was the name of it?
00:53:43.56\00:53:44.79
The Passion of Love.
00:53:44.82\00:53:45.81
Passion of Love, the movie.
00:53:45.84\00:53:47.03
Then when the Ten
Commandment weekends,
00:53:47.06\00:53:48.54
we started having those.
00:53:48.57\00:53:50.39
How many of those
have been out to people?
00:53:50.42\00:53:52.29
Well, I know for sure that
we've put out about 7 million
00:53:52.62\00:53:54.97
in English, but as I travel it's
in the Afrikaans language and
00:53:55.00\00:53:58.72
many other languages all over.
00:53:58.75\00:54:00.42
We just got somebody that wanted
it in the Croatian language.
00:54:00.45\00:54:03.79
So we've got it and now to this
Pillars book, thank you so much
00:54:03.82\00:54:07.14
for what you're doing.
00:54:07.17\00:54:08.38
