And that is good information.
00:00:01.33\00:00:02.66
I wanted to mention that
Lukanas Louis is your pianist,
00:00:02.70\00:00:06.00
very, very fine
job assisting you.
00:00:06.03\00:00:09.67
Carlot, in the last
couple of minutes we have,
00:00:09.70\00:00:12.81
give me some idea
of your future plans.
00:00:12.84\00:00:15.71
You're assisting
now at Penn State,
00:00:15.74\00:00:17.75
and God has
blessed your ministry.
00:00:17.78\00:00:19.51
Amen. You can see that.
00:00:19.55\00:00:20.88
And I say ministry because
your music is your ministry.
00:00:20.92\00:00:23.45
And you're using
your music for ministry.
00:00:23.49\00:00:26.05
What do you have
long-term in your plans?
00:00:26.09\00:00:27.76
I love teaching.
00:00:27.79\00:00:29.12
And one of my goals
is to be able to teach
00:00:29.16\00:00:31.26
in our Adventists institution,
00:00:31.29\00:00:33.80
to be able to share
music and keep playing,
00:00:33.86\00:00:37.20
and teach in our institution.
00:00:37.23\00:00:39.40
That's one of my goals.
00:00:39.43\00:00:41.17
Let me ask the
question, and I tend to ask
00:00:41.20\00:00:42.57
musicians this, you got to
give it to me in 30 seconds
00:00:42.60\00:00:44.64
or it's going to
be kind of difficult.
00:00:44.67\00:00:46.71
What is the
difference or the intersection
00:00:46.74\00:00:49.04
between
ministry and performance?
00:00:49.08\00:00:51.18
Is there an
intersection? Are they parallel?
00:00:51.21\00:00:53.28
Are they opposed to
each other? From your mind...
00:00:53.35\00:00:56.55
In your mind, ministry,
performance, are they the same?
00:00:56.62\00:00:59.05
Do they work together? Are
they opposed to each other?
00:00:59.09\00:01:01.29
I believe
ministry, it's something
00:01:01.32\00:01:03.93
that you do to
serve others to...
00:01:03.96\00:01:07.20
And the best way
you can serve others
00:01:07.23\00:01:08.53
through music or to any ministry
00:01:08.56\00:01:10.83
is to put God first and
to point the glory to God.
00:01:10.87\00:01:14.77
But the difference is
in performances, usually,
00:01:14.80\00:01:17.84
when you perform,
you try to show off.
00:01:17.87\00:01:20.24
And show off, it's
not the best way to do it.
00:01:20.28\00:01:22.68
Ministry is like ministering...
00:01:22.71\00:01:25.61
Whether you're a physician,
you try to use your field
00:01:25.65\00:01:32.45
to do good to others.
00:01:32.49\00:01:34.79
To others, okay.
00:01:34.82\00:01:36.16
Or and to uplift God's
name if you're a pastor.
00:01:36.19\00:01:39.59
And I believe the
music, as a ministry,
00:01:39.63\00:01:42.66
the main focus should be
to lift up the name of God.
00:01:42.70\00:01:45.73
Okay. Okay.
00:01:45.77\00:01:47.27
So ministry, other
focus, performance, self-focus,
00:01:47.30\00:01:53.07
and of course we want
our focus to be on Christ
00:01:53.11\00:01:55.98
and bringing Christ to those
who come to hear our ministry.
00:01:56.01\00:02:01.02
Well said.
00:02:01.05\00:02:02.58
In closing, we want to
take a look at two things.
00:02:02.62\00:02:04.09
One, the book,
From Trauma to Triumph,
00:02:04.12\00:02:08.06
the Carlot Dorve story.
00:02:08.09\00:02:09.72
And the website
where you can contact him
00:02:09.76\00:02:12.19
or you can order this book,
00:02:12.23\00:02:14.00
I dare suspect, CarlotDorve.com,
00:02:14.00\00:02:17.80
CarlotDorve.com.
00:02:17.83\00:02:20.10
And you can contact
him, and he can come in
00:02:20.14\00:02:21.97
and minister to your
congregation or group.
00:02:22.00\00:02:24.41
Well, our time has
fast slipped into eternity,
00:02:24.44\00:02:26.54
allow me now in
closing to wish you
00:02:26.57\00:02:27.91
both grace and peace
00:02:27.94\00:02:29.28
through our Lord
and Savior Jesus Christ
00:02:29.31\00:02:30.65
to see again soon,
bye-bye, and God bless.
00:02:30.71\00:02:33.72
