That's great. 00:22:30.65\00:22:32.65 You know, I heard the story that Fanny Crosby wrote 00:22:32.68\00:22:36.15 that song and I remember... 00:22:36.18\00:22:39.35 I think the story went that she was in a need 00:22:39.39\00:22:44.33 for some money before her, 00:22:44.36\00:22:46.26 the publishers I guess were paying, 00:22:46.29\00:22:48.70 were giving her money, you know, 00:22:48.73\00:22:50.23 she was getting money for writing songs. 00:22:50.30\00:22:52.73 But she received a $5 check or $5 bill from someone 00:22:52.77\00:22:58.94 before the check got to her from the publishers 00:22:58.97\00:23:02.51 and she was in need for that... of that. 00:23:02.54\00:23:05.18 And so when she realized that the God had provided that, 00:23:05.21\00:23:12.32 I mean, that's the way she saw it 00:23:12.35\00:23:14.16 as Him having provided and she began to realize... 00:23:14.19\00:23:18.83 She was, since she was blind, she knew all of the people 00:23:18.86\00:23:22.10 that had helped her, you know, when she would go into town 00:23:22.13\00:23:25.17 and help her cross the street. 00:23:25.20\00:23:27.64 And it reminded me of the fact that we have a helping God, 00:23:27.67\00:23:33.64 we often look at things, we will look at things 00:23:33.68\00:23:37.85 and wonder why good things happen to bad people. 00:23:37.88\00:23:42.25 We'll wonder why bad things happen to good people. 00:23:42.28\00:23:46.49 But there's a psalm that I love that says, 00:23:46.52\00:23:49.92 Psalm 124 and it says, "If it had not been the Lord 00:23:49.99\00:23:55.33 who was on our side, when men rose up against us. 00:23:55.36\00:23:59.30 Then they would have quickly swallowed us up alive, 00:23:59.33\00:24:01.80 when their wrath was kindled against us. 00:24:01.84\00:24:04.21 Then the waters would have overwhelmed us 00:24:04.24\00:24:06.17 and swept us away, 00:24:06.21\00:24:07.58 the torrent would have gone over us." 00:24:07.61\00:24:10.15 And then verse 6, "Blessed be the Lord 00:24:10.18\00:24:12.55 who has not given us as prey to their teeth." 00:24:12.58\00:24:15.95 Verse 8 says, "Our help is in the name of the Lord 00:24:15.98\00:24:19.25 who made heaven and earth." 00:24:19.29\00:24:20.66 And I just love that verse that says, 00:24:20.69\00:24:23.83 "If it had not been the Lord who is on our side..." 00:24:23.86\00:24:27.60 We often like I say we think about the... 00:24:27.66\00:24:32.67 when good things happen and bad things happen, 00:24:32.70\00:24:35.00 but we don't think about what didn't happen. 00:24:35.04\00:24:37.71 That's right, that's right. 00:24:37.74\00:24:39.07 And so it's almost like a reverse thanksgiving, 00:24:39.11\00:24:42.21 you know, when I know, when I land on an air strip 00:24:42.24\00:24:46.72 after being in the air for a while 00:24:46.78\00:24:48.55 and the plane lands safely. 00:24:48.58\00:24:50.59 Thank you, "Lord thank you that we didn't crash." 00:24:50.65\00:24:52.59 That's right. 00:24:52.62\00:24:53.96 And you know there's so many scenarios that you can, 00:24:54.02\00:24:55.36 that we often regret may be something, 00:24:55.39\00:24:57.29 "Why did this happen to me? 00:24:57.33\00:24:58.66 Why did this happen?" 00:24:58.69\00:25:00.10 But think about what didn't happen to me. 00:25:00.13\00:25:01.43 That's right. 00:25:01.46\00:25:02.80 And sometimes we don't even think of our blessings. 00:25:02.83\00:25:04.20 If we are on a flight that doesn't have any turbulence 00:25:04.27\00:25:05.97 and it touches down, 00:25:06.00\00:25:07.34 we almost take that whole journey 00:25:07.37\00:25:09.10 for granted sometimes. 00:25:09.14\00:25:10.51 We may say, "Well, you know, that's just how it is. 00:25:10.54\00:25:12.41 This is the good plane and maintenance is kept up, 00:25:12.44\00:25:14.51 the pilot's probably very experienced." 00:25:14.54\00:25:16.41 But we don't know that it's a grace of God 00:25:16.44\00:25:18.18 that's holding that big old aluminum cylinder up 00:25:18.21\00:25:20.95 'cause it's His air. 00:25:20.98\00:25:22.32 All He has to do is turn His air off. 00:25:22.35\00:25:23.69 Right. 00:25:23.72\00:25:25.05 And I read a story, I mean, I actually didn't read a story. 00:25:25.09\00:25:26.76 We were on our way back from Australia 00:25:26.79\00:25:28.12 number of years ago. 00:25:28.16\00:25:29.49 And one of the flight attendance 00:25:29.52\00:25:31.09 just graced us with a horror story. 00:25:31.13\00:25:33.93 He, because, here we were about five hours 00:25:34.00\00:25:36.13 over the Pacific from Australia on our way back to California 00:25:36.16\00:25:39.73 and all of a sudden all the flight attends 00:25:39.77\00:25:41.10 began to run back, to the back of the plane. 00:25:41.14\00:25:43.17 And one of them made the mistake 00:25:43.20\00:25:44.54 of whispering louder than she should have, 00:25:44.57\00:25:46.54 "We smell smoke." 00:25:46.57\00:25:48.24 Well, you have 5 hours back and 12 hours ahead of you 00:25:48.28\00:25:52.11 or ever how long and you know, there's not, 00:25:52.15\00:25:54.55 there's water below you 00:25:54.58\00:25:55.92 and that's not what you wanna hear. 00:25:55.95\00:25:57.29 No. 00:25:57.35\00:25:58.69 And so everybody just, you know, 00:25:58.72\00:26:00.12 sometimes your ears are too good 00:26:00.16\00:26:01.49 and you hear what you shouldn't hear 00:26:01.52\00:26:02.86 and everybody else hears at the same time 00:26:02.89\00:26:04.23 and so we're looking and we're like, 00:26:04.26\00:26:05.59 "Nobody is saying anything, wondering, 00:26:05.63\00:26:06.96 Lord, this is 5 hours back, 12 hours ahead of us, 00:26:07.00\00:26:09.00 what's gonna happen?" 00:26:09.03\00:26:10.37 If there is smoke on this 747, something is gonna happen. 00:26:10.40\00:26:14.97 And then all of a sudden we saw that flight attendants disperse 00:26:15.00\00:26:18.17 and whatever happened we believe God prevented 00:26:18.21\00:26:22.21 what could have happened... 00:26:22.24\00:26:23.58 Right, right. 00:26:23.65\00:26:24.98 But the flight attendant proceeded to tell us 00:26:25.01\00:26:26.35 horror stories, male flight attendant, 00:26:26.38\00:26:28.22 you know when coming from Tokyo back to Australia, 00:26:28.25\00:26:30.19 we hit a dead spot. 00:26:30.22\00:26:31.59 And that's what I meant, the dead spot 00:26:31.62\00:26:33.25 is where there's a hole in the sky, 00:26:33.29\00:26:34.96 where there's no lift. 00:26:34.99\00:26:36.86 And he said we fell 10,000 feet until we grab the air, 00:26:36.93\00:26:43.33 not an air pocket. 00:26:43.37\00:26:44.70 You grab air again and the plane starts 00:26:44.73\00:26:46.07 to lift again and I thought, "Lord, do not allow any..." 00:26:46.10\00:26:50.31 "Fill up all the pockets, Lord." 00:26:50.37\00:26:51.71 Fill up all the pockets. 00:26:51.74\00:26:53.07 We just don't need a 10,000 foot drop 00:26:53.11\00:26:54.58 over the Pacific Ocean. 00:26:54.61\00:26:56.14 But sometimes our lives are like that. 00:26:56.18\00:26:57.51 There are holes coming, we don't know. 00:26:57.55\00:26:58.88 Right. Yeah. 00:26:58.91\00:27:00.35 And God sees it, had it not been for the Lord. 00:27:00.38\00:27:01.72 Absolutely. 00:27:01.75\00:27:03.08 So praise God for the Lord who's always awake. 00:27:03.12\00:27:05.59 Yes, yes. Praise God for that. 00:27:05.62\00:27:06.99 And this is a great song that, 00:27:07.02\00:27:09.72 it's kind of a spiritual that reminds me of, 00:27:09.76\00:27:12.76 if the Lord hadn't been welcome by me. 00:27:12.79\00:27:15.60 You sing it and I'll join on with you. 00:27:20.04\00:27:21.74 If it had not been 00:27:47.03\00:27:53.50 For the Lord on my side 00:27:53.54\00:27:59.87 Tell me 00:27:59.91\00:28:01.68 Where would I be? 00:28:01.71\00:28:08.28 Where would I be? 00:28:08.32\00:28:11.65 Oh, if it had not been 00:28:11.69\00:28:18.36 For the Lord on my side 00:28:18.39\00:28:25.03 Tell me 00:28:25.07\00:28:26.87 Where would I be? 00:28:26.94\00:28:33.68 Where would I be? 00:28:33.71\00:28:39.11 He kept my enemies away 00:28:39.15\00:28:44.92 He let the sun shine 00:28:44.95\00:28:47.49 Through a cloudy day 00:28:47.56\00:28:51.59 He wrapped me in the cradle of His arms 00:28:51.63\00:28:57.43 When he knew I'd been battered and scarred 00:28:57.47\00:29:03.07 If it had not been 00:29:03.10\00:29:09.34 For the Lord on my side 00:29:09.38\00:29:15.65 Tell me 00:29:15.68\00:29:17.35 Where would I be? 00:29:17.42\00:29:24.06 Where would I be? 00:29:24.09\00:29:27.23 Oh, yeah. Now listen. 00:29:27.30\00:29:28.66 He has never ever left me all alone 00:29:28.70\00:29:34.37 He gives me joy and a peace 00:29:34.40\00:29:37.74 Like I've never known 00:29:37.77\00:29:41.08 And He answers when I get down to pray 00:29:41.11\00:29:46.72 And with victory the Lord showed me the way 00:29:46.75\00:29:53.15 If it had not been 00:29:53.19\00:29:59.03 For the Lord on my side 00:29:59.06\00:30:05.37 Tell me 00:30:05.40\00:30:07.20 Where would I be? 00:30:07.24\00:30:14.24 Where would I be? 00:30:14.28\00:30:18.68 Tell me 00:30:18.71\00:30:20.78 Where would I be? 00:30:20.82\00:30:28.72 Where would I be? 00:30:28.76\00:30:35.96 Just think about that, where would we be? 00:30:39.63\00:30:42.90 The other day my wife and I were talking about DNA. 00:30:42.94\00:30:47.11 I don't know how we got into this topic of DNA... 00:30:47.14\00:30:48.68 What's that spell? Deoxyribonucleic substance, 00:30:48.71\00:30:52.98 you know, DNA, it just kind of... 00:30:53.01\00:30:54.58 Oh, right. 00:30:54.62\00:30:55.95 But somebody is talking about, 00:30:55.98\00:30:57.95 "Why don't you believe in evolution?" 00:30:57.99\00:30:59.55 And I said, "Well, one of the reasons 00:30:59.59\00:31:01.26 why evolution is so invalid is because a scientist said, 00:31:01.29\00:31:04.69 a team of scientists agreed that everything 00:31:04.73\00:31:07.20 that was needed for DNA to be formed, 00:31:07.23\00:31:09.50 all the enzymes, all the proteins, 00:31:09.53\00:31:11.53 all the molecules had to be present at the same time 00:31:11.57\00:31:14.14 that couldn't evolve." 00:31:14.20\00:31:16.47 And so I said, "Without all those things 00:31:16.50\00:31:19.11 that were needed at the same time, 00:31:19.14\00:31:20.58 we could never be," 00:31:20.64\00:31:22.48 and the same thing is with the Lord. 00:31:22.51\00:31:23.85 Right, absolutely. 00:31:23.91\00:31:25.25 Without Him we could never be. 00:31:25.28\00:31:27.12 Well, what could we do if the Lord decided, 00:31:27.18\00:31:29.55 "I'm gonna take a vacation today. 00:31:29.58\00:31:31.99 I'm gonna give the devil 24 hours to do 00:31:32.02\00:31:33.86 what he wants and I'll be back, I'm just tired. 00:31:33.92\00:31:36.12 It's been like 12 million years. 00:31:36.16\00:31:37.76 I've been dealing with the worlds before I made yours. 00:31:37.79\00:31:40.46 I just need a break." 00:31:40.50\00:31:42.43 What would happen without Him? 00:31:42.46\00:31:44.43 And so there are those of you that might think sometimes, 00:31:44.47\00:31:47.27 "Has God taken a vacation in my life? 00:31:47.30\00:31:49.44 I've been praying, the ceiling seems like brass, 00:31:49.47\00:31:52.87 the doors seem like they are not opening for me. 00:31:52.91\00:31:54.94 I've been trying and praying, and crying, and wondering, 00:31:54.98\00:31:57.28 'Lord, where are you?"' 00:31:57.31\00:31:58.78 But I want you to be encouraged today. 00:31:58.81\00:32:01.22 There is never a tear you shed that God doesn't see. 00:32:01.25\00:32:04.65 There's never trial you face that God doesn't understand. 00:32:04.69\00:32:07.99 And He promises never to leave you 00:32:08.02\00:32:09.52 and never to forsake you. 00:32:09.56\00:32:10.93 So if God is not answering you yet, 00:32:10.96\00:32:13.13 it's not that He's left you and you are without Him. 00:32:13.16\00:32:15.66 It's that He is waiting for the best opportunity 00:32:15.70\00:32:17.93 and He's building and forming it. 00:32:17.97\00:32:20.10 And one day you'll thank Him that in those silent moments, 00:32:20.14\00:32:23.24 He was still working in your behalf. 00:32:23.27\00:32:25.04 So know that you're not without Him. 00:32:25.07\00:32:27.04 He's with you and with Him everything is possible. 00:32:27.08\00:32:30.41 That's good. 00:32:30.45\00:32:31.78 Without Him 00:32:47.83\00:32:50.30 I could do nothing 00:32:50.33\00:32:55.00 Without Him I'd surely fail 00:32:58.07\00:33:04.51 Without Him 00:33:07.62\00:33:10.59 I would be drifting 00:33:10.62\00:33:17.33 Like a ship without 00:33:17.36\00:33:24.57 A sail 00:33:24.60\00:33:27.40 Tell me, Tim. 00:33:27.44\00:33:29.90 Without Him 00:33:29.97\00:33:32.67 I would be dying 00:33:32.71\00:33:40.12 Without Him 00:33:40.18\00:33:42.98 I'd be enslaved 00:33:43.02\00:33:50.49 Without Him 00:33:50.53\00:33:52.93 My life would be worthless 00:33:52.96\00:34:00.87 But with Jesus 00:34:00.94\00:34:04.21 Thank God 00:34:04.24\00:34:07.28 I'm saved 00:34:07.31\00:34:13.08 Jesus, 00:34:13.11\00:34:17.32 Oh, Jesus 00:34:17.39\00:34:22.62 Do you know Him today 00:34:22.66\00:34:27.93 Please don't turn Him away 00:34:27.96\00:34:33.30 Oh Jesus, 00:34:33.34\00:34:38.61 My Jesus 00:34:38.64\00:34:44.98 Without Him 00:34:45.01\00:34:47.75 How lost I would be 00:34:47.78\00:34:52.62 Let's sing that again. 00:34:52.65\00:34:55.96 Jesus, 00:34:55.99\00:35:00.23 Oh, Jesus 00:35:00.26\00:35:05.30 Do you know Him today 00:35:05.33\00:35:10.71 Please don't turn Him away 00:35:10.74\00:35:16.34 Oh Jesus, 00:35:16.38\00:35:21.45 My Jesus 00:35:21.48\00:35:26.42 Without Him 00:35:30.03\00:35:33.29 How lost I would be 00:35:33.33\00:35:38.37 Yeah. 00:35:41.77\00:35:43.67 Without Him 00:35:43.71\00:35:48.61 How lost 00:35:48.64\00:35:52.05 I would be 00:35:52.08\00:35:59.35 Praise God. Amen. 00:36:06.26\00:36:08.03 Thank you for Jesus. 00:36:08.06\00:36:09.86 You know, in 2005 I was... had a privilege of being... 00:36:09.90\00:36:13.03 I think it was in Texas with Doug Batchelor, 00:36:13.07\00:36:15.17 Pastor Doug Batchelor 00:36:15.20\00:36:16.84 and we were doing an evangelistic series and... 00:36:16.91\00:36:21.44 and the thought came to me about the many lives 00:36:21.48\00:36:24.18 that are passing into eternity every day. 00:36:24.25\00:36:28.15 And then I was driving just the other day 00:36:28.18\00:36:29.95 and I was thinking, "Wow, you know, 00:36:29.98\00:36:32.09 I lost this person, that person," 00:36:32.12\00:36:34.42 I'm looking forward to the reunion 00:36:34.46\00:36:35.79 and then it all came really clear to me 00:36:35.82\00:36:37.53 when we recently did a memorial service 00:36:37.56\00:36:40.00 for a very dear friend of 3ABN. 00:36:40.03\00:36:43.23 And I thought, I'm so glad, Tim, 00:36:43.26\00:36:46.57 that this life is not it. 00:36:46.60\00:36:50.27 Paul says, "If in this life only we had hope in Christ, 00:36:50.31\00:36:54.71 we will be of all men most miserable." 00:36:54.74\00:36:56.85 Most miserable. 00:36:56.91\00:36:58.45 And I thought, "Wow," and somebody said, 00:36:58.48\00:37:01.08 "Well, how long do you wanna live?" 00:37:01.12\00:37:02.45 I said, "Well, you know, even if I live to 100 years, 00:37:02.48\00:37:04.95 it's a vapor in eternity." 00:37:04.99\00:37:08.42 And so I thought as I'm sitting here breathing, 00:37:08.46\00:37:11.69 my heart is ticking, life is happening the way 00:37:11.73\00:37:14.46 that God wants it to happen, 00:37:14.46\00:37:15.80 and even when it doesn't happen the way I wanted to happen, 00:37:15.83\00:37:18.00 there's still a hope, there's still a place 00:37:18.03\00:37:19.70 where one day we're gonna be able to enter. 00:37:19.73\00:37:22.04 And then those loved ones that are now resting in Jesus 00:37:22.07\00:37:24.91 will be reunited. 00:37:24.94\00:37:26.71 And one person suggested we'll be able to say to them, 00:37:26.78\00:37:29.14 you know, while you slept this is what happened. 00:37:29.18\00:37:32.71 And so there may be some of you 00:37:32.75\00:37:34.65 that right now you may have 00:37:34.68\00:37:36.05 just lost someone just recently, 00:37:36.08\00:37:38.59 you might think, 00:37:38.62\00:37:39.95 "What is my life gonna be like without that person? 00:37:39.99\00:37:41.62 How am I gonna go on? 00:37:41.66\00:37:42.99 How is my journey gonna be any different without him?" 00:37:43.02\00:37:45.69 But I wanna encourage you through this old song, 00:37:45.73\00:37:47.50 it's a combination of two songs that I heard and I thought, 00:37:47.50\00:37:49.96 well, I heard Sela do it many years ago?" 00:37:50.03\00:37:53.20 And as we walk through this, 00:37:53.23\00:37:55.07 this journey of the reality of this world. 00:37:55.10\00:37:57.67 There are places we've been, my wife and I traveled 00:37:57.71\00:38:00.04 all over the world, but there's no place we've been 00:38:00.11\00:38:02.18 that we'd rather give up in place of the kingdom. 00:38:02.21\00:38:04.91 So as we walk through this song together, remember, 00:38:04.95\00:38:08.48 if we don't meet this side of heaven, 00:38:08.52\00:38:11.55 we will meet you on that beautiful shore. 00:38:11.59\00:38:13.99 There are places I remember 00:38:25.80\00:38:31.51 All my life 00:38:31.54\00:38:35.31 Though some have changed 00:38:35.34\00:38:38.48 Some forever, not for better 00:38:38.51\00:38:44.09 Some are lost and some remain 00:38:44.12\00:38:50.53 All these places have their moments 00:38:50.56\00:38:56.23 With people and friends 00:38:56.26\00:38:59.13 I still can recall 00:38:59.17\00:39:02.17 Some are dead and some are living 00:39:02.20\00:39:08.31 But in my life 00:39:08.34\00:39:11.68 I loved them all 00:39:11.71\00:39:16.85 But of all these friend and love ones 00:39:23.09\00:39:28.43 There is no one 00:39:28.46\00:39:31.93 Who compares with you 00:39:31.97\00:39:35.47 And these mem'ries lose their meaning 00:39:35.50\00:39:40.68 When I think of love as something new 00:39:40.71\00:39:47.52 Though I know I'll never lose affection 00:39:47.55\00:39:53.05 For people and friends I've known before 00:39:53.09\00:39:59.16 And I know I'll often stop and think about them 00:39:59.19\00:40:05.50 But in my life 00:40:05.53\00:40:08.97 I loved you more 00:40:09.00\00:40:14.98 Soon we'll come 00:40:20.95\00:40:24.35 To the end of life's journey 00:40:24.39\00:40:31.03 And perhaps 00:40:31.06\00:40:33.26 we'll never meet anymore 00:40:33.29\00:40:40.70 'Til we gather 00:40:40.77\00:40:44.24 In heaven's bright city 00:40:44.27\00:40:50.61 Far away on that 00:40:50.68\00:40:53.95 Beautiful shore 00:40:53.98\00:41:00.76 So if we never meet again 00:41:00.79\00:41:05.86 This side of heaven 00:41:05.89\00:41:10.43 As we struggle through this world 00:41:10.47\00:41:15.07 And its strife 00:41:15.10\00:41:20.54 There's another meeting place 00:41:20.58\00:41:25.15 Somewhere in heaven 00:41:25.18\00:41:30.05 By the beautiful river 00:41:30.09\00:41:35.02 Of life 00:41:35.06\00:41:39.56 Where the charming roses 00:41:39.59\00:41:43.06 Bloom forever 00:41:43.10\00:41:49.74 And separation comes 00:41:49.77\00:41:54.21 No more 00:41:54.24\00:41:59.51 So if we never meet again 00:41:59.55\00:42:04.89 This side of heaven 00:42:04.92\00:42:10.13 I will meet you on that 00:42:10.16\00:42:14.46 Beautiful shore 00:42:14.46\00:42:21.70 Thank you, John, for that song. 00:42:36.55\00:42:38.42 I love that, I remember singing that 00:42:38.45\00:42:40.22 when I was young. 00:42:40.26\00:42:42.32 I'm still young but when I was younger. 00:42:42.36\00:42:45.63 And it's a great reminder that we have heaven 00:42:45.66\00:42:48.30 to look forward too, 00:42:48.33\00:42:50.43 spending eternity with our loved ones and our savior. 00:42:50.50\00:42:56.67 This is a song that reminds me 00:42:56.74\00:42:59.14 of the wonderful presence of God in my life 00:42:59.17\00:43:05.48 and knowing that I don't need anything else beside Him. 00:43:05.51\00:43:09.45 He's all I need 00:43:13.39\00:43:16.39 When I just need someone to talk to 00:43:16.42\00:43:23.73 He's always there 00:43:23.77\00:43:26.70 To hear my prayer 00:43:26.74\00:43:29.67 Each time I call Him 00:43:29.70\00:43:35.68 All my needs He will supply 00:43:35.71\00:43:41.15 My thirsty soul He satisfies 00:43:41.18\00:43:47.12 He's the Lord of lords 00:43:47.16\00:43:51.03 And He's all 00:43:51.06\00:43:54.23 I need 00:43:54.30\00:44:00.17 He's all I need, 00:44:00.24\00:44:03.41 I need not turn to any other 00:44:03.44\00:44:11.41 For He's a friend, 00:44:11.45\00:44:14.55 A friend that's closer 00:44:14.58\00:44:17.85 Than a brother 00:44:17.89\00:44:23.29 And on this friend I can rely 00:44:23.32\00:44:28.53 To be my strength 00:44:28.56\00:44:31.53 As time goes by
