00:01 Well, certainly, we just want to thank you so much
00:03 for being with us today.
00:04 We have Pastor Mel Matthews has been our special guest.
00:09 And God has certainly proved Himself faithful in your life.
00:14 Amen. Has He not?
00:15 You know, as I look back and, of course,
00:18 Vietnam has been a long time ago.
00:20 But I can see step by step how God has guided my life.
00:23 Even when I was not following Him,
00:27 He was always there.
00:29 He was always there and able,
00:32 and through His love and His goodness
00:34 to draw me back to Him.
00:37 And He's just blessed my life in so many ways,
00:40 and I've just loved the Lord so much
00:42 because of all those things.
00:44 And I am so grateful to be able to give this testimony
00:49 to such a larger audience tonight
00:50 I've ever been able to do before.
00:52 Amen.
00:53 Well, you certainly, you took a stand,
00:56 God provided the way out and He is faithful even...
01:01 You know, there're so many times
01:03 that I feel in my life that I've been faithless,
01:05 but He's faithful in His love, He'll chase you down.
01:08 What would you say to someone who is thinking
01:12 if they are Seventh-day Adventist,
01:13 we've just got 30 seconds.
01:15 Would you join the volunteer or what should they expect?
01:21 We have a number at Seventh-day Adventist
01:22 that they have.
01:24 And, but you do not have the right to have Sabbath off
01:28 or not to bear arms depending upon
01:30 what you choose as your specialty.
01:32 You know, if you're volunteering
01:33 to be a chaplain's assistant,
01:35 obviously bearing arms is not a thing
01:37 that you have to probably cope with.
01:40 But once again, you know, if you're in a combat unit
01:45 and volunteering as a infantrymen,
01:47 you're going to have to deal with your company commander.
01:50 And that's the only right you have.
01:52 Okay, so we're gonna have to really give that some serious
01:55 thought before they do volunteer work.
01:58 Pastor Mel, thank you so much...
01:59 God bless you, Shelley.
02:01 For joining us today and sharing your testimony.
02:03 For those of you at home, our prayer is that
02:04 the grace of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ,
02:07 the love of the Father,
02:08 and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
02:09 will be with you always.
02:11 Amen.
