I want to spend my life
00:00:01.63\00:00:06.67
Mending broken people
00:00:07.50\00:00:12.31
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.41\00:00:18.01
Removing pain
00:00:18.85\00:00:23.22
Lord, let my words
00:00:23.85\00:00:28.79
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:29.89\00:00:33.90
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.50\00:00:39.50
Mending broken people
00:00:40.24\00:00:44.81
I want to spend my life
00:00:45.74\00:00:50.95
Mending broken people
00:00:51.35\00:00:56.08
Rock of ages, cleft for me
00:01:17.41\00:01:23.04
Let me hide myself in Thee
00:01:25.11\00:01:31.85
Let the water and the blood
00:01:32.42\00:01:38.63
From Thy riven side which flowed
00:01:39.26\00:01:45.90
Rock of ages, cleft for me
00:01:46.63\00:01:53.34
Let me hide myself in Thee
00:01:54.38\00:02:04.19
Sometimes I feel discouraged
00:02:09.96\00:02:18.40
And I think my works in vain
00:02:18.50\00:02:25.97
I'm tempted oft to murmur
00:02:27.44\00:02:36.18
To grumble and complain
00:02:36.28\00:02:43.43
Oh, but then I think of Jesus
00:02:44.33\00:02:53.34
And all He's done for me
00:02:53.47\00:03:02.08
Then I cry, oh Rock of ages
00:03:02.18\00:03:11.49
Hide Thou me
00:03:11.72\00:03:18.63
Oh, Rock of ages
00:03:20.43\00:03:29.20
Hide Thou me
00:03:29.30\00:03:36.91
There is no other refuge
00:03:37.28\00:03:46.35
Can save, Lord but Thee
00:03:46.49\00:03:53.80
And through this dark world
00:03:54.46\00:03:59.23
I've wandered far
00:03:59.60\00:04:05.97
Far from Thee
00:04:06.64\00:04:12.31
Then I cry, oh Rock of ages
00:04:12.45\00:04:21.99
Hide Thou me
00:04:22.76\00:04:32.17
- Amen. Praise the Lord.
Hello and welcome to 3ABN
00:04:42.28\00:04:44.75
Today. Thank you
for joining us as you do
00:04:44.85\00:04:46.82
each and every day. I
know our intro's a little
00:04:46.92\00:04:49.45
different than
normal, but we have Ryan Day
00:04:49.55\00:04:51.92
here today. What an
incredible instrument that God
00:04:52.02\00:04:54.46
has given him for music
and for preaching, and we're
00:04:54.56\00:04:57.69
going to get to know
Ryan a little better today. He
00:04:57.79\00:05:00.03
has a brand-new CD
out that we're all excited
00:05:00.13\00:05:03.63
about. I love his songs
and the music. And between him
00:05:03.73\00:05:07.57
and Tim Parton doing
the music behind him, we're
00:05:07.67\00:05:09.84
going to have a great
time today in the Lord.
00:05:09.94\00:05:12.47
And so again, we appreciate
you. Thank you for your love
00:05:12.57\00:05:15.44
and your prayers and
financial support of 3ABN
00:05:15.54\00:05:18.31
as we endeavor to take
this great gospel of the
00:05:18.38\00:05:20.72
Kingdom into all the
world. And one of the
00:05:20.82\00:05:22.75
things that we have seen
that crosses denominational
00:05:22.85\00:05:26.15
lines over the past
34 years is music. There
00:05:26.25\00:05:30.76
are people who will
watch 3ABN who might not ever
00:05:30.83\00:05:33.70
stop on this channel
when they hear preaching or
00:05:33.76\00:05:36.20
prophecies or the
mark of the beast; but when
00:05:36.26\00:05:38.73
they hear music like
this, they'll stop and listen.
00:05:38.83\00:05:41.37
Then later, we'll get
phone calls or letters
00:05:41.44\00:05:43.61
or emails that say, "You
know, I stopped to listen
00:05:43.71\00:05:46.57
to that music, but then
I heard the next program
00:05:46.68\00:05:49.11
and the next one,"
and then they talk about
00:05:49.18\00:05:50.75
coming to Jesus or
joining the church. So, music is
00:05:50.85\00:05:53.95
a great tool that God
has given us, and we're so
00:05:54.08\00:05:57.02
thankful that Ryan Day
is now a part of working
00:05:57.12\00:05:59.59
with the music channel.
We'll talk about that in
00:05:59.65\00:06:02.16
a few minutes-but before
he sits down, I think I'm
00:06:02.22\00:06:05.56
just going to ask you,
Ryan, if you'll do another
00:06:05.63\00:06:07.40
song for us right now,
and then we'll come back
00:06:07.46\00:06:09.16
and hear from Ryan speaking.
00:06:09.23\00:06:11.73
In this quiet place with You
00:06:26.58\00:06:30.52
I bow before Your throne
00:06:31.19\00:06:34.46
I bear the deepest part of me
00:06:34.79\00:06:38.73
To You and You alone
00:06:39.56\00:06:42.53
I keep no secrets
For there is no thought
00:06:43.43\00:06:49.04
That You have known
00:06:49.17\00:06:51.87
I bring my best and all the rest
00:06:51.97\00:06:56.18
To You I lay them down
00:06:56.31\00:07:02.45
With all my heart
00:07:06.89\00:07:12.49
I want to love You, Lord
00:07:12.83\00:07:16.73
And live my life
00:07:16.83\00:07:21.00
Each day to know You more
00:07:21.14\00:07:25.41
All that is in me
00:07:25.51\00:07:28.98
Is Yours completely
00:07:29.51\00:07:33.62
I'll serve You only
00:07:34.08\00:07:38.12
With all my heart
00:07:38.65\00:07:47.60
You faithfully supply my needs
00:07:57.67\00:08:01.84
According to Your plan
00:08:02.44\00:08:05.55
So help me,
Lord, to seek your face
00:08:05.68\00:08:10.39
Before I seek Your hand
00:08:10.52\00:08:13.79
And trust You
know what's best for me
00:08:14.06\00:08:18.23
When I don't understand
00:08:18.36\00:08:27.60
Then follow in obedience
00:08:28.47\00:08:32.07
In every circumstance
00:08:32.74\00:08:42.62
With all my heart
00:08:42.98\00:08:48.06
I want to love You, Lord
00:08:48.16\00:08:51.83
And live my life
00:08:52.09\00:08:55.60
Each day to know You more
00:08:55.70\00:08:59.73
All that is in me
00:08:59.90\00:09:03.07
Is Yours completely
00:09:03.17\00:09:08.88
I'll serve You only
00:09:09.08\00:09:17.82
I'll serve You only
00:09:20.19\00:09:29.36
With all my heart
00:09:34.60\00:09:44.31
- Amen. Thank you so
much, Ryan. Beautiful song-"With
00:10:04.07\00:10:06.94
All My Heart." Today, it's
a privilege to introduce to
00:10:07.00\00:10:10.94
some of you... Now many
of you have been able to
00:10:11.01\00:10:12.91
see Ryan and get to know
him over the last several
00:10:12.97\00:10:15.28
months or year; but
right now, I'm happy to say
00:10:15.38\00:10:18.41
that he's full-time, employed-
if you call it that. I hate to
00:10:18.51\00:10:22.32
call him employed
when you're having so much
00:10:22.38\00:10:24.09
fun and you're in ministry,
but it's a joy to have Ryan
00:10:24.15\00:10:27.29
here full-time at 3ABN.
Ryan, it's great to have
00:10:27.42\00:10:29.86
you here today. -
Amen. It's good to have you
00:10:29.92\00:10:31.26
here, brother. Thank you
so much. Good to be here.
00:10:31.29\00:10:32.93
- You know what, a
great instrument, a great tool
00:10:32.99\00:10:34.43
that God has given
you- and I know you give Him
00:10:34.53\00:10:36.80
the glory for that. -
Amen. - Now, you know Yvonne.
00:10:36.90\00:10:39.70
She's got a lot of
music background and sang with
00:10:39.80\00:10:43.17
a lot of big names,
but she says to me, "Ryan's
00:10:43.27\00:10:45.94
got one of the greatest
tools that I've ever"...
00:10:46.01\00:10:48.01
You know, "natural
tools that I've heard." - Oh,
00:10:48.11\00:10:51.35
praise the Lord. - So,
coming from her, that's
00:10:51.45\00:10:53.01
a pretty good compliment.
- That's humbling, coming
00:10:53.08\00:10:54.98
from her. - She may not
say that to you, but she
00:10:55.08\00:10:56.42
says it to me. She said,
"He has an incredible tool"-
00:10:56.45\00:10:59.15
you know?-"It's an incredible
instrument." It was her words.
00:10:59.25\00:11:02.92
I say, "tool"; I'm
a carpenter. "Tool,"
00:11:02.99\00:11:04.89
but she's "instrument."
So, God has blessed you.
00:11:04.96\00:11:08.43
But we're going to
find out today a little more
00:11:10.00\00:11:12.10
about you. You, for
a number of years, you
00:11:12.17\00:11:16.07
were preaching. So, you
were with Amazing Facts.
00:11:16.14\00:11:18.77
- I was with Amazing
Facts for 5 years before I came
00:11:18.87\00:11:21.14
here, but I wasn't
always a Seventh-day Adventist
00:11:21.24\00:11:24.61
Christian. I wasn't
raised in the Adventist church,
00:11:24.71\00:11:26.65
so... - Well, we want to
spend a little time; we're
00:11:26.75\00:11:28.62
going to do some more
songs, so don't get antsy
00:11:28.72\00:11:30.62
at home. We're going
to have him back up and do
00:11:30.72\00:11:32.29
a few more songs, brand-new.
Can you show your CD, maybe?
00:11:32.39\00:11:35.42
- Yeah, absolutely. So,
this is the new- this is it: the
00:11:35.49\00:11:38.03
"Songs of Faith" album.
I'm a little proud of it.
00:11:38.13\00:11:42.56
It's my very first professional
album. - Can you give us some
00:11:42.66\00:11:46.07
of the songs? - Absolutely!
So there are songs like: "The
00:11:46.17\00:11:48.50
Solid Rock," "You Are My
All in All," "Spirit in the
00:11:48.60\00:11:51.61
Bride," which is kind of
a worship medley... "They
00:11:51.71\00:11:54.81
Sing a New Song" is
also on this one. "I'm Going
00:11:54.91\00:11:57.18
to Give Him Glory" project,
which is a wonderful song
00:11:57.25\00:11:59.85
written by David Huntsinger.
We also have: "We'll Understand
00:11:59.95\00:12:02.65
It Better," "By and
By," good old-fashioned kind
00:12:02.75\00:12:05.59
of pick-me-up hymn, which
is a really good one. "With
00:12:05.69\00:12:08.42
All My Heart," which
you heard just a few moments
00:12:08.52\00:12:10.13
ago, "Hide Thou Me," which
is the one I started with in
00:12:10.19\00:12:13.09
the beginning, and of
course, "I'd Rather Have Jesus,"
00:12:13.19\00:12:15.93
which we'll do in just a
few moments, "Gethsemane,"
00:12:16.03\00:12:18.73
as well (which is a
song you wrote, and Lanny
00:12:18.83\00:12:21.80
Wolfe co-wrote, which
is wonderful), and then a
00:12:21.90\00:12:24.97
song called, "Satisfied,"
which is actually me and
00:12:25.07\00:12:28.84
Tim Parton in a duet on
that one, which is... It
00:12:28.91\00:12:31.65
was fun; very fun for
me and Tim. And then of
00:12:31.71\00:12:33.78
course, the last two
are: "Until Then" and "When We
00:12:33.85\00:12:36.02
All Get to Heaven."
- Can't be- those kinds
00:12:36.08\00:12:38.15
of songs are here forever.
"Until Then," "When We All
00:12:38.25\00:12:40.72
Get to Heaven," I mean-
most of these songs, you
00:12:40.82\00:12:43.02
know? - Yes. - And so,
I love that your music,
00:12:43.09\00:12:46.06
your style of music- and
it fits right into our 3ABN
00:12:46.19\00:12:48.66
audience, because most of
our audience doesn't like all
00:12:48.73\00:12:53.00
the-and I'm just gonna
like they talk to me, okay?
00:12:53.10\00:12:55.70
- Sure, sure. - They
don't like all the beating and
00:12:55.77\00:12:57.24
banging and all the loud
drums and all the percussions
00:12:57.31\00:13:01.64
and all the things
going on. It's between- when
00:13:01.74\00:13:04.21
we get to heaven, we may
really be surprised at some
00:13:04.28\00:13:07.12
of the music's there; so
it's not to say what music is
00:13:07.22\00:13:09.62
sinful, what isn't
sinful, what's good and bad, but
00:13:09.68\00:13:13.22
people have different taste.
- Sure, sure. - So, I may be
00:13:13.29\00:13:16.89
a little broader in my
taste than some of the folk are,
00:13:16.99\00:13:19.56
and then there's people
a whole lot broader than
00:13:19.66\00:13:21.63
me. In fact, I was talking
to the airlines just a little
00:13:21.70\00:13:26.00
bit ago, and...I don't
know if it was a day or two ago,
00:13:26.07\00:13:29.30
and the lady- she said,
"I gotta put you on hold,
00:13:29.40\00:13:31.87
and I'm so sorry that
our music isn't working right
00:13:31.97\00:13:35.94
now, so it'll just
be quiet." And I said,
00:13:36.04\00:13:37.65
"No, thank you, 'cause
I'm sure that's going to
00:13:37.71\00:13:39.28
be better than the
music," because everybody has
00:13:39.38\00:13:42.02
different taste, you
know. - Right, right. Yes. - But
00:13:42.12\00:13:44.65
anyway, we appreciate your
kind of music; but for a young
00:13:44.72\00:13:46.52
guy, you're kind of keeping
the hymns and all of that-
00:13:46.62\00:13:50.06
you know. A lot of
the young folk are totally
00:13:50.16\00:13:51.96
getting away from that.
A lot of the music nowadays
00:13:52.06\00:13:54.76
from folks your age,
and you get pushing that 30
00:13:54.86\00:13:58.13
mark-you know. Getting
up here, they're all into
00:13:58.20\00:14:00.30
the more kind of...you
don't know if it's rock,
00:14:00.37\00:14:02.34
you don't know if it's
gospel, you don't know-
00:14:02.40\00:14:03.84
Christian- you don't know
what it is, really; but yours
00:14:03.94\00:14:07.28
is very distinct, you
have a message to give,
00:14:07.38\00:14:10.01
and it's just like in your
preaching, and you give it. I
00:14:10.11\00:14:13.18
appreciate that, and so do
we and our viewers at home will,
00:14:13.25\00:14:16.12
too, so we're excited
for you to get to know Ryan
00:14:16.22\00:14:19.25
better. And of
course, your position now with
00:14:19.35\00:14:21.86
the Praise Him Music Channel
is what? - I am the assistant
00:14:21.92\00:14:24.73
to the general manager,
who is Tim Parton, of the
00:14:24.83\00:14:27.50
Praise Him Music Network-
the 3ABN Praise Him Music
00:14:27.60\00:14:30.43
Network. - And it is
on the air now? - It is on
00:14:30.47\00:14:32.03
the air, it is going
strong, and we're very excited
00:14:32.10\00:14:34.44
about some of the great
opportunities and broadcasting
00:14:34.57\00:14:38.24
that we're going to be doing
coming up in the near future.
00:14:38.34\00:14:40.51
- So for the folks on
the go and traveling, and
00:14:40.61\00:14:42.94
they're always here
and there, is there a way
00:14:43.04\00:14:45.78
they can use their phones
or? - Oh, absolutely, yeah.
00:14:45.88\00:14:48.12
So I would
encourage everyone to download
00:14:48.25\00:14:50.79
first, if you have a smartphone,
download the 3ABN app. It's
00:14:50.89\00:14:54.02
free; just simply go to
your app store, download-
00:14:54.12\00:14:56.52
just type in "3ABN,"
it'll pop up there, and you'll
00:14:56.62\00:14:59.59
have access to all the
3ABN different networks.
00:14:59.69\00:15:02.86
And of course, in that
list is the Praise Him Music
00:15:02.96\00:15:05.10
Network. You can
carry it with you anywhere
00:15:05.20\00:15:06.53
you want. Everywhere that
you have internet connection,
00:15:06.63\00:15:08.94
it's available. Absolutely.
- Isn't that amazing?
00:15:09.04\00:15:11.17
Yeah, and they go to the
different... You can go on
00:15:11.27\00:15:13.51
the computer, you can go
different ways, and be able
00:15:13.58\00:15:15.44
to get this 24/7. I
love listening to it when I'm
00:15:15.51\00:15:18.28
traveling. It's wonderful.
I watch it when I can when
00:15:18.41\00:15:21.65
I'm not driving,
but... [laughter] Other than
00:15:21.82\00:15:23.89
that, I love watching
it. So, brand-new music
00:15:23.99\00:15:26.02
network that I'm sure you're
going to love. We have all
00:15:26.12\00:15:29.36
kinds of people watching
already and watching the
00:15:29.46\00:15:32.76
music. I had talked to
former attorney general not too
00:15:32.86\00:15:36.06
long ago, and he
said, "Man, I love watching
00:15:36.16\00:15:37.93
3ABN's- your station
and your music channel and
00:15:38.03\00:15:43.41
all of that," so we have
a lot of people who watch
00:15:43.51\00:15:46.57
and love the music. As
I was telling the folks
00:15:46.68\00:15:48.94
earlier, music is a universal
language that people would
00:15:49.04\00:15:53.45
stop and watch 3ABN when
they hear music like this.
00:15:53.55\00:15:57.45
They might not if you're
up there preaching a fiery
00:15:57.55\00:15:59.75
sermon, but...you
know, it gets them there, and
00:15:59.85\00:16:02.52
once they're there, a
lot of times the Holy Spirit
00:16:02.59\00:16:04.69
leads them to continue
to watch. Let's go back
00:16:04.76\00:16:07.00
and talk a little bit
about your background. Now,
00:16:07.10\00:16:10.03
you were raised in what
state? - So, I was raised
00:16:10.13\00:16:11.87
in the state of Arkansas.
- Okay! - I was primarily
00:16:11.93\00:16:14.90
raised in a couple
of different Pentecostal
00:16:15.00\00:16:17.44
denominations-more charismatic.
So, I was the preacher's child,
00:16:17.54\00:16:22.38
and raised in a very
conservative, wonderful
00:16:22.48\00:16:26.55
Christian home-but of course,
the Lord had a different plan.
00:16:26.61\00:16:30.29
He knew we loved truth.
He knew we were searching
00:16:30.42\00:16:32.35
for truth-and it wasn't
too long before the truth
00:16:32.39\00:16:35.26
of the Sabbath and those
wonderful pillar faithful
00:16:35.39\00:16:39.56
messages that the Adventist
church teaches all around the
00:16:39.69\00:16:42.03
world came our way, and
we couldn't pass it up, so...
00:16:42.10\00:16:45.40
- Wow! So that's just
through... You weren't
00:16:45.50\00:16:48.90
watching TV, necessarily.
Did you meet people who
00:16:49.00\00:16:51.27
were Adventist, and...how
did that work? - So yeah!
00:16:51.37\00:16:54.01
So basically, my aunt-have
to give a shout out to my
00:16:54.08\00:16:57.01
aunt Gwen (she's probably
going to watch this), and
00:16:57.08\00:16:59.61
I think also my aunt
Genie had something to do with
00:16:59.71\00:17:02.35
this, as well. It's both
my dad's sisters, and they
00:17:02.45\00:17:04.82
had been... My aunt
Jenny had- or she's- my aunt
00:17:04.92\00:17:08.69
Gwen had been involved
in the Adventist church
00:17:08.76\00:17:11.13
at this time (this
was back in the mid '90s-
00:17:11.23\00:17:13.23
early-to-mid '90s) and
said come into, I think, some
00:17:13.33\00:17:16.87
Mark Finley or
Kenneth Cox tapes that I'm
00:17:16.97\00:17:19.43
sure, probably, 3ABN
had something to do with the
00:17:19.53\00:17:22.30
recording. And somehow,
someway, I think it was my
00:17:22.37\00:17:25.54
Aunt Genie
eventually shared a tape with my
00:17:25.64\00:17:28.11
dad, and they kind of
both shared with my father,
00:17:28.21\00:17:30.75
and my Aunt Gwen really
kind of pushed. You know,
00:17:30.85\00:17:33.62
"Watch that tape! Watch
that tape!" And so my dad
00:17:33.72\00:17:35.78
watched it, and the
rest is history. My dad began
00:17:35.88\00:17:38.09
to watch all of the Kenneth
Cox tapes and Mark Finley
00:17:38.19\00:17:40.76
evangelistic series,
and I remember as a kid,
00:17:40.86\00:17:42.96
peering into the television,
watching these guys talk
00:17:43.06\00:17:46.33
about biblical things that
I didn't quite understand...
00:17:46.43\00:17:48.80
but little did I know
that years later, it would play
00:17:48.93\00:17:51.63
a major role in- and
those same tapes would play a
00:17:51.73\00:17:54.00
major role in my conversion.
- Wow. That's amazing. So,
00:17:54.10\00:17:56.94
your dad, did he- did your
whole family, like, just join
00:17:57.01\00:18:00.48
the Adventist church,
or did you take it one step
00:18:00.58\00:18:02.41
at a time? - It was kind
of a multistep process. It's
00:18:02.48\00:18:06.61
interesting how it happened,
because while my dad was
00:18:06.72\00:18:08.78
still in the Pentecostal
faith and, you know, kind
00:18:08.88\00:18:11.55
of non-denominational,
denominational-he was
00:18:11.65\00:18:14.22
kind of all over the
place at one time, but he was
00:18:14.29\00:18:16.62
still preaching the Adventist
message. In fact, many times
00:18:16.69\00:18:19.23
it cost him to... You
know, some of the boards at the
00:18:19.33\00:18:21.86
churches that he
attended would ask him to leave,
00:18:21.96\00:18:23.70
because he was preaching
these truths. And so, actually,
00:18:23.77\00:18:27.44
long story short, I was
the first one in my family that
00:18:27.54\00:18:30.41
made the decision to
join the Adventist church. And
00:18:30.54\00:18:33.81
then of course, my brother
and my sister joined, and
00:18:33.91\00:18:37.68
then, of course,
later on, my mother and
00:18:37.78\00:18:39.11
father would join, as
well. So, praise the Lord all
00:18:39.21\00:18:41.52
of my family are Adventist
Christians, and they love
00:18:41.62\00:18:45.19
Jesus, and I praise
God for the journey that He
00:18:45.29\00:18:47.79
has brought us
through. - That's great. So you
00:18:47.92\00:18:50.13
were one of the first
ones to stay in your family to
00:18:50.23\00:18:52.43
step out and say, "I
wanna join the church." - That's
00:18:52.49\00:18:55.33
right. - That's great.
Now, the book Ten Commandments:
00:18:55.40\00:18:58.03
Twice Removed, you said
that helped you. - Yeah,
00:18:58.10\00:19:00.14
so this was actually
a few...maybe a year or
00:19:00.24\00:19:03.57
two before I
actually made the decision to
00:19:03.64\00:19:05.64
formally join the
church. My father and I and my
00:19:05.67\00:19:08.64
family had started our
own little kind of non-
00:19:08.74\00:19:10.68
denominational Sabbath-keeping
church, teaching all of the
00:19:10.75\00:19:13.52
Adventist teachings in
this church-in a little
00:19:13.62\00:19:15.98
country church out in
the middle of nowhere. And
00:19:16.05\00:19:17.95
one day, a friend of my
father's came in and had
00:19:18.09\00:19:20.52
a big stack of books, and
he just laid them up on this
00:19:20.62\00:19:23.09
table in our
sanctuary. He said, "If anybody
00:19:23.19\00:19:25.73
wants these, they can
have them," and I started
00:19:25.83\00:19:27.80
going through them. One
of them that stuck out to
00:19:27.90\00:19:29.46
me was the Ten Commandments:
Twice Removed - Danny Shelton
00:19:29.56\00:19:32.07
and Shelley Quinn. So, I
pulled it out of that stack,
00:19:32.17\00:19:34.34
read it, couldn't put
it down; read it twice,
00:19:34.40\00:19:36.84
read it three times,
and it played a huge role in
00:19:36.91\00:19:39.47
helping me kind of
dial-in my understanding of,
00:19:39.57\00:19:42.24
you know, the Commandments
and the importance of
00:19:42.34\00:19:44.48
Sabbath-keeping and
obedience to Christ and
00:19:44.58\00:19:46.82
upholding the truth in
the last days. - So, there's
00:19:46.88\00:19:49.42
all kinds of ways that
we can, you know... There's
00:19:49.48\00:19:52.15
all this new media and
media highways, but still
00:19:52.25\00:19:56.12
yet, there's just a good
old book. It's printed, it
00:19:56.19\00:19:59.03
has pages, and you can
turn it (you don't even
00:19:59.09\00:20:01.30
have to go on the internet
or go somewhere), that they're
00:20:01.36\00:20:04.10
still effective, and we
see that over and over - many
00:20:04.20\00:20:06.97
books; not just ours
- but many of them that
00:20:07.10\00:20:09.34
we still pass out and
give away, and we see people's
00:20:09.47\00:20:13.01
lives changed. So
yours is a progressive thing.
00:20:13.07\00:20:16.64
You, more and more as
you saw it - but something
00:20:16.75\00:20:19.28
interesting: you
were obviously looking for
00:20:19.38\00:20:22.15
truth. - Absolutely. -
And so, when you're looking
00:20:22.25\00:20:24.85
for truth, the Lord
showed it to you. - Absolutely!
00:20:24.95\00:20:27.19
And I always tell
people, you know, it first has
00:20:27.29\00:20:29.12
to start with one
having the love for the truth.
00:20:29.19\00:20:31.83
You have to love truth...
and I did. I wanted truth
00:20:31.89\00:20:34.76
more than anything,
even if it meant me losing my
00:20:34.83\00:20:37.13
job (which I did at
one time for the Sabbath),
00:20:37.23\00:20:39.57
me losing friends,
which I did many times when
00:20:39.63\00:20:42.87
I gave my heart to Jesus...
But I was on that search
00:20:42.97\00:20:45.87
as my family was, and
things begin to change - but the
00:20:46.01\00:20:49.68
Lord had a plan. I just
said to Him, even though
00:20:49.74\00:20:53.18
I wasn't perfect and I
still had a lot of things in my
00:20:53.28\00:20:55.78
life (and still do!)
that the Lord's working on
00:20:55.88\00:20:57.85
me. The Lord just wants a
willing soul, and He showed
00:20:57.95\00:21:00.96
me that. "If you're
willing to be used by Me, I will
00:21:01.06\00:21:03.53
use you." - You know
what, what a great segue to your
00:21:03.59\00:21:06.16
next song, "I'd Rather
Have Jesus." - I'd rather
00:21:06.26\00:21:08.46
have Jesus; that's
right! - You were just saying-
00:21:08.56\00:21:10.20
all of that said,
"I'd Rather Have Jesus."
00:21:10.27\00:21:12.53
So, we're going to have
Ryan get up and sing this
00:21:12.63\00:21:14.87
song in just a moment, and
a lot of you folk will know
00:21:14.97\00:21:17.07
it. If you don't, if
you're younger and you haven't
00:21:17.14\00:21:19.14
heard it, this is, to
me, it's one of the great
00:21:19.21\00:21:21.54
all-time songs. "I'd
rather have Jesus than silver
00:21:21.61\00:21:24.38
and gold," and the
author is saying that when we
00:21:24.48\00:21:27.48
really look at this
world, it really doesn't have
00:21:27.58\00:21:29.95
anything. That silver
and gold's not going to help
00:21:29.98\00:21:31.79
you when you get 90 or
100 or whenever you come to
00:21:31.85\00:21:35.56
the grave and you go
down in the grave- nothing's
00:21:35.66\00:21:38.83
gonna help you but knowing
Jesus Christ and accepting
00:21:38.93\00:21:41.76
Him as Lord and
Savior of your life. And so,
00:21:41.86\00:21:44.97
today, that's a goal of
3ABN is to present Jesus
00:21:45.07\00:21:48.90
Christ to a lost and
dying world - to see that He
00:21:49.00\00:21:51.77
is the answer for this
world's problems today.
00:21:51.87\00:21:54.78
And it's our hope
and prayer that each and
00:21:54.88\00:21:56.64
every one of you,
along with us, would look all
00:21:56.75\00:21:59.35
around the world but
say, "You know what, I've seen
00:21:59.41\00:22:01.68
it all...but 'I'd
rather have Jesus.'" Ryan.
00:22:01.78\00:22:04.72
I'd rather have
Jesus than silver or gold
00:22:28.51\00:22:37.99
I'd rather be His
than have riches untold
00:22:38.82\00:22:48.46
I'd rather have
Jesus than houses or lands
00:22:49.30\00:22:59.04
I'd rather be led by
His nail pierced hands
00:22:59.81\00:23:09.32
Than to be the
king of a vast domain
00:23:10.32\00:23:20.00
Or be held in sins dread sway
00:23:20.70\00:23:29.77
I'd rather have
Jesus than anything
00:23:31.67\00:23:41.45
This world affords today
00:23:42.32\00:23:51.46
Ohh...
00:23:56.43\00:23:58.10
I'd rather have
Jesus than men's applause
00:23:58.20\00:24:08.04
I'd rather be
faithful to His dear cause
00:24:08.41\00:24:18.19
I'd rather have
Jesus than worldwide fame
00:24:18.92\00:24:28.56
I'd rather be
true to His holy name
00:24:29.83\00:24:39.01
Than to be the
king of a vast domain
00:24:40.88\00:24:49.98
Or be held in
sin's dreadful sway
00:24:51.59\00:25:01.36
I'd rather have Jesus
00:25:05.40\00:25:11.87
Than anything
00:25:13.07\00:25:20.58
This world affords
00:25:23.08\00:25:31.13
Today
00:25:32.56\00:25:39.67
Mm...
00:25:42.70\00:25:51.18
- Amen. Thank you, Ryan.
This is all part of a brand-new
00:25:56.32\00:25:58.69
CD, and you should go
to 3ABN. You can go to the
00:25:58.82\00:26:03.02
website, whatever
- anytime, we always
00:26:03.09\00:26:04.59
say, other than
Sabbath hours. This is Ryan's,
00:26:04.69\00:26:08.46
and it's his own personal;
it's nothing that we own,
00:26:08.56\00:26:11.23
but we support him and
what he's doing, so you
00:26:11.37\00:26:13.84
can work out the details
with Ryan but you probably can
00:26:13.94\00:26:15.67
find out right here
through 3ABN how to contact him.
00:26:15.77\00:26:18.67
And so, I would encourage
you not only for yourself,
00:26:18.81\00:26:23.18
but for people
around you. We know people
00:26:23.28\00:26:25.95
that- neighbors, we know
friends... Maybe sometimes,
00:26:26.01\00:26:28.55
you can't really
talk to them about Jesus;
00:26:28.62\00:26:30.69
but say, "Hey, I got
this gift. There's a guy that
00:26:30.75\00:26:33.29
I met or I like."
Maybe you go to a concert
00:26:33.36\00:26:35.82
somewhere, you see him,
"Hey, I see him on 3ABN,
00:26:35.89\00:26:38.03
and I really just feel
like the Lord's impressed me
00:26:38.13\00:26:42.30
to give you this." They'll
listen to it. They may not
00:26:42.40\00:26:44.87
tell you yes or no,
but so many times, in their
00:26:44.93\00:26:47.70
home, in the quietness,
when they're struggling,
00:26:47.80\00:26:50.77
they'll put on this
music. And we've seen over and
00:26:50.87\00:26:54.61
over again people
brought to Jesus through music
00:26:54.71\00:26:57.45
like this. So, we encourage
you to contact 3ABN and
00:26:57.51\00:27:02.22
find out how you can
get yours we say any time
00:27:02.28\00:27:04.45
other than Sabbath hours
I'd encourage you. In fact,
00:27:04.52\00:27:08.36
you're going to have
a hard time getting this
00:27:08.46\00:27:09.82
away from me, Ryan, when
the program's over, so I'll
00:27:09.92\00:27:12.93
work out with you whatever
we gotta do later. We'll
00:27:12.99\00:27:15.26
trade something. We'll
work it out, but wonderful.
00:27:15.36\00:27:19.17
Thank you, again, so much
for what you're doing. Now,
00:27:19.27\00:27:21.74
we got a little time
for talking. We want to get
00:27:21.84\00:27:24.21
a couple more songs in,
but I want to talk about
00:27:24.27\00:27:26.37
you then actually felt a
call to ministry. - Yeah.
00:27:26.44\00:27:30.75
Absolutely. - And
how- what happened then?
00:27:30.85\00:27:32.61
- Yeah, so I was probably
about two years into having
00:27:32.71\00:27:36.62
been working in my
local Seventh-day Adventist
00:27:36.69\00:27:38.99
Church. I was youth pastor
and made my way up through,
00:27:39.05\00:27:43.83
being an elder and really
working in my local church.
00:27:43.93\00:27:47.03
The Lord just inspired
me one day and encouraged me
00:27:47.10\00:27:49.66
as I had been watching
some evangelistic series,
00:27:49.76\00:27:52.17
I had been studying my
Bible more, and the Lord
00:27:52.27\00:27:53.97
just placed it on my heart.
Said, "You know what, I've
00:27:54.07\00:27:56.14
given you gifts,
I've given you talents...
00:27:56.20\00:27:57.61
I want you to use them
for me." And so, myself
00:27:57.74\00:28:00.58
and my brother
Dakota, who is now an Amazing
00:28:00.68\00:28:03.61
Facts evangelist, and
both of our wives and our
00:28:03.68\00:28:06.95
friend Jordan
Moore... We all, 5 of us, went
00:28:07.02\00:28:09.25
from Arkansas to
California in 2013, and we went
00:28:09.38\00:28:13.69
through the Amazing Facts
Center of Evangelism there
00:28:13.79\00:28:15.96
where we were trained by
Pastor Doug and the AFCOE
00:28:16.06\00:28:19.29
crew on how to do
proper evangelism in these last
00:28:19.39\00:28:22.46
days...and it was one
of the best decisions of my
00:28:22.56\00:28:24.63
life. And so, about halfway
or a little more than halfway
00:28:24.73\00:28:28.07
through that program, I was
given a couple of opportunities
00:28:28.14\00:28:30.51
to speak, and the Lord
just blessed me abundantly
00:28:30.57\00:28:34.08
and providing an opportunity
for myself to join the Amazing
00:28:34.18\00:28:37.55
Facts evangelistic
team. And so from that point
00:28:37.61\00:28:40.22
forward for the next 5
years, I would travel on
00:28:40.28\00:28:43.18
behalf of Amazing
Facts Ministries, and I would
00:28:43.28\00:28:45.92
find myself all over the
United States and Canada,
00:28:46.02\00:28:49.69
preaching the gospel, and
it's just been the greatest
00:28:49.76\00:28:52.66
journey of my life.
I'll never take it back. It's
00:28:52.76\00:28:55.96
a wonderful thing. - So you
could've never really looked
00:28:56.03\00:28:58.50
back as a young child,
going to these churches and
00:28:58.57\00:29:02.07
thinking, "I'd be out
in the frontline, being
00:29:02.14\00:29:04.57
an evangelist in the
Seventh-day Adventist
00:29:04.64\00:29:06.07
Church," right? -
That's right. Never; never.
00:29:06.14\00:29:07.78
[laughter] It's a beautiful
thing. - Yeah, it's amazing.
00:29:07.84\00:29:10.18
But you mentioned your
brother, so your brother...
00:29:10.25\00:29:12.48
Is he? Tell us about
your family and siblings.
00:29:12.58\00:29:15.52
- Yeah! So I mentioned
earlier all of my family
00:29:15.58\00:29:17.85
eventually made that
decision to be Sabbath-
00:29:17.92\00:29:20.79
keeping Christians in
the Seventh-day Adventist
00:29:20.86\00:29:22.46
Church, and my
brother Dakota who's younger
00:29:22.56\00:29:24.73
than me-he's about 4-and-a-half
years younger than me-he's
00:29:24.86\00:29:27.20
also an Amazing Facts
evangelist still today,
00:29:27.26\00:29:30.07
and so he travels, and
he's been with them now
00:29:30.13\00:29:32.50
for about two-and-a-half~
almost three years. And
00:29:32.53\00:29:34.50
so, yeah! Of course,
I'm no longer with Amazing
00:29:34.60\00:29:38.67
Facts now; I'm here
with 3ABN. But as I'm kind of
00:29:38.74\00:29:41.18
transitioning out of there,
my brother's kind of taken
00:29:41.24\00:29:44.65
up the banner and he's
moving forward in the field of
00:29:44.75\00:29:47.32
evangelism, so yeah. -
Now, it'd probably be a really
00:29:47.42\00:29:50.45
hard choice if you had
to decide between singing
00:29:50.59\00:29:54.02
or preaching, 'cause
I can tell when you're
00:29:54.12\00:29:56.62
doing it, when
you're ministering, you love
00:29:56.69\00:29:58.56
both. - Sure, sure. Aw,
yeah. - And you love it.
00:29:58.66\00:30:01.36
So, that would be a tough
decision, wouldn't it? - It
00:30:01.43\00:30:03.87
would a tough decision.
I love to preach, I love
00:30:03.93\00:30:06.17
to sing, but I think
every man knows what he's best
00:30:06.27\00:30:09.34
at at the end of the
day, and I would say that I
00:30:09.40\00:30:12.51
probably am better at
singing than I am preaching...
00:30:12.61\00:30:17.65
But at the end of the day,
it's not about being better
00:30:17.75\00:30:19.08
or better than someone
else; it's about being willing
00:30:19.18\00:30:21.88
to preach and to sing
for Jesus, which I love doing
00:30:21.98\00:30:24.35
both - absolutely. -
So on 3ABN- we're kind of
00:30:24.45\00:30:26.99
putting you- you just
jumped right out of that,
00:30:27.09\00:30:29.72
jumped right into
this. Now you've been doing,
00:30:29.79\00:30:31.59
what, some of the Sabbath
school programs? - I've been
00:30:31.66\00:30:33.26
on the Sabbath School Panel.
- How do you like that? - Oh,
00:30:33.33\00:30:34.80
I love it! It's just
been an incredible journey.
00:30:34.86\00:30:37.87
- Some of the folk
you're sitting beside there,
00:30:37.97\00:30:41.27
listening and working
with? - Oh, man, it's like
00:30:41.34\00:30:43.91
drinking from a fire
hydrant when I'm around Jill and
00:30:43.97\00:30:46.24
Shelley and John and Kenny,
and then yourself, and it's
00:30:46.34\00:30:50.35
just... It's been an
incredible experience -
00:30:50.45\00:30:52.41
absolutely. - Oh, it
is. I've been on it a few
00:30:52.48\00:30:54.32
times; I feel I'm out
of my league, you know?
00:30:54.38\00:30:56.38
But it's really neat to
hear everyone's perspective of
00:30:56.45\00:30:59.52
the same lesson study,
but different people get
00:30:59.62\00:31:03.09
different-you know?-it's
like little gems of truth.
00:31:03.19\00:31:05.73
- It's true. - And so when
I listen to you, I listen to
00:31:05.83\00:31:07.83
Jill and each one, and
so I've read it, but we'll
00:31:07.90\00:31:10.83
each pick up
something different, and it's
00:31:10.90\00:31:13.07
really... It's one of
the most watched programs,
00:31:13.13\00:31:16.17
as far as we could
tell, of people watching, and
00:31:16.27\00:31:19.07
we're happy for that,
because the more people
00:31:19.17\00:31:21.58
that's watching, the better.
And again, a lot of these
00:31:21.64\00:31:24.21
folk- most of our viewers...
People don't know this.
00:31:24.28\00:31:26.31
In general, a lot of
people don't know-... As far as
00:31:26.41\00:31:30.05
we can tell, probably 95%-
and I didn't make a mistake
00:31:30.15\00:31:34.22
on this-95% of our viewing
audience and listening audience
00:31:34.29\00:31:38.56
are not Seventh-day Adventist.
So, I hear a lot of people say,
00:31:38.63\00:31:42.36
"Oh, well, that's an Adventist
channel, preaching to the
00:31:42.46\00:31:46.10
choir"... Not really,
and there's nothing wrong
00:31:46.17\00:31:48.57
with preaching to the choir,
and we do to a lot of choirs,
00:31:48.60\00:31:51.17
and 3ABN's known around
the world...but it's amazing
00:31:51.24\00:31:54.91
to me that- here's an
amazing fact-that probably
00:31:55.04\00:31:59.48
95% of our potential viewing
audience is not Seventh-day
00:31:59.55\00:32:03.99
Adventist, and we understand
that as we travel: in airports
00:32:04.05\00:32:07.19
and places. I've been
in Bucharest, Romania, and
00:32:07.26\00:32:09.46
Russia, Moscow, and
cities that where you would have
00:32:09.52\00:32:13.40
no idea that people
would walk up and say, "Oh,
00:32:13.53\00:32:15.46
I see you"...and
their accents from whatever
00:32:15.56\00:32:19.37
country but their attempt
to do in English (and some
00:32:19.43\00:32:22.67
of it's pretty good, actually).
But, "Oh, I see you on 3ABN,"
00:32:22.77\00:32:26.01
I'm always amazed at the
people that are watching 3ABN
00:32:26.11\00:32:30.48
around the world. So again,
we're so thankful that you're
00:32:30.55\00:32:34.25
here, you're part of
the team, the music team;
00:32:34.32\00:32:36.28
but we didn't make
you decide, 'cause we're
00:32:36.38\00:32:38.29
having you do both. -
Amen. - So you're going to be
00:32:38.35\00:32:40.56
preaching the camp meeting,
too? - That's right. Coming
00:32:40.62\00:32:42.32
up spring camp meeting;
absolutely. - Isn't that
00:32:42.42\00:32:44.23
going to be great? What's
that-June 5th through 8th?
00:32:44.29\00:32:46.23
- June 5th through 8th.
It's on the Ten Commandments-
00:32:46.29\00:32:47.96
God's holy law and covenant;
law of liberty-and so I'm going
00:32:48.03\00:32:52.90
to get to preach on the
topic of the Sabbath, so
00:32:52.97\00:32:55.50
it's going to be
really fun. - Yeah. Oh, you're
00:32:55.60\00:32:57.11
going to do the Sabbath?
- I'm going to be doing the
00:32:57.21\00:32:58.54
topic of the Sabbath, which
is a big one. - Well, why not,
00:32:58.57\00:33:00.08
right? [laughter] 'Cause
you learned it, and it didn't
00:33:00.18\00:33:02.38
come from not being raised
in the church. - That's right.
00:33:02.48\00:33:04.91
- Yeah. Absolutely. - Amen.
- Well, right now, I want to
00:33:05.01\00:33:07.48
transition to a song,
but I want you to- you tell
00:33:07.55\00:33:10.49
me about it a little
bit from your perspective-
00:33:10.59\00:33:12.52
you chose it-but Gethsemane.
- Sure. - And why that on this
00:33:12.62\00:33:16.39
particular project. - Yeah,
absolutely. Well, first and
00:33:16.46\00:33:18.63
foremost, any time I
get to sing about Christ and
00:33:18.73\00:33:22.53
the sacrifice that He
gave for us... You know, many
00:33:22.60\00:33:24.73
people think that
the ultimate sacrifice He
00:33:24.83\00:33:26.60
gave was up on cross, and
that for sure is true that
00:33:26.67\00:33:29.54
He did indeed endure
the cross in despite of the
00:33:29.64\00:33:32.37
shame, but He had to endure
Gethsemane. The first time
00:33:32.44\00:33:36.88
I heard this song was
actually in the studio,
00:33:36.95\00:33:38.71
just as a new kind of
convert coming into 3ABN as an
00:33:38.78\00:33:43.15
employee. I remember
you had brought me into the
00:33:43.25\00:33:46.19
studio and said...
Either there's a song that I
00:33:46.29\00:33:48.59
wrote and you played
it for me, and I was just
00:33:48.69\00:33:50.76
captivated by the message,
the way it was very well
00:33:50.83\00:33:54.30
written, the music was
just beautiful... And from that
00:33:54.36\00:33:57.03
moment on, when I had
the opportunity to make
00:33:57.17\00:34:00.17
this CD, I kind of,
you know, urged E.T. and
00:34:00.27\00:34:03.54
Tim and yourself, "Hey,
can I record this song?"
00:34:03.61\00:34:06.98
And it's just been such a
blessing. I love the message,
00:34:07.04\00:34:09.24
and I know the Lord
really used you, and Lanny Wolfe
00:34:09.31\00:34:11.65
to write the song. -
Yeah, Lanny Wolfe. And actually,
00:34:11.75\00:34:13.45
the night before we were
doing that whole project...
00:34:13.52\00:34:16.02
I was getting ready to-
Reggie was producing that
00:34:16.12\00:34:20.46
particular project. I
was going down to meet
00:34:20.56\00:34:23.86
him, and I was
supposed to pick up Lanny Wolfe
00:34:23.93\00:34:25.66
at the airport, and I
got this little tune... "He
00:34:25.69\00:34:28.36
suffered Gethsemane through
blood, sweat, and tears"...
00:34:28.46\00:34:32.60
And so, all of a
sudden, it started coming to me,
00:34:32.70\00:34:35.04
"Each drop of blood He
shed..." All of a sudden, words
00:34:35.10\00:34:40.21
start coming to me, and
I said, "Wow, that is..."
00:34:40.31\00:34:42.48
So I write this chorus,
the words and the music;
00:34:42.54\00:34:45.88
so Reggie calls, and
I say, "Reggie," I said,
00:34:45.95\00:34:48.95
"Man, I wish it weren't so
late in the project, 'cause
00:34:49.02\00:34:52.45
we're recording the next two
days, but this little tune came
00:34:52.55\00:34:55.96
to me." "Let me hear it."
Soon as I play it, he said,
00:34:56.06\00:34:58.43
"Danny, we gotta get
that on this CD." And I said,
00:34:58.49\00:35:00.66
"I don't even have
the verses to it!" So he
00:35:00.70\00:35:03.80
said, "Well, let's...
Maybe you can work on it."
00:35:03.87\00:35:05.73
So I pick up Lanny
at the airport and take
00:35:05.83\00:35:08.87
him to his room; and when
I drop him off, on the way
00:35:08.94\00:35:12.81
there, I say, "Lanny, I
wrote this little chorus
00:35:12.87\00:35:14.44
tonight." And I didn't ask
him to work on it; you don't
00:35:14.54\00:35:17.65
ask Lanny Wolfe. He's a
legend, so I don't expect
00:35:17.71\00:35:20.62
him to drop down to my
level. But I said, "Well,
00:35:20.72\00:35:23.69
if he wants to do it,
he'll volunteer." So he said,
00:35:23.79\00:35:25.85
"That's really
nice." The next morning, we
00:35:25.95\00:35:29.02
go to breakfast, and he
says "Do you want somebody?
00:35:29.09\00:35:32.56
That song's been running
through my mind all night.
00:35:32.63\00:35:34.80
You want verses?" And I
said, "Absolutely." So he
00:35:34.90\00:35:37.87
literally, that day,
was in a side room, working,
00:35:37.93\00:35:40.97
putting the verses together
(which are INCREDIBLE), so
00:35:41.04\00:35:44.77
I don't take the
credit for that. Lanny through
00:35:44.84\00:35:47.18
the Holy Spirit, you
know, doing it. But it turned
00:35:47.24\00:35:49.71
out to be a song that we
give God all honor and glory and
00:35:49.78\00:35:53.72
praise, and you do
a great job on it, so
00:35:53.78\00:35:55.82
we're going to have
Ryan sing to you right now...
00:35:55.88\00:35:58.79
Again, this CD's available;
all you have to do is contact
00:35:58.89\00:36:01.56
3ABN other than Sabbath
hours. We'll tell you how
00:36:01.66\00:36:04.63
you can get this new
project; but right now,
00:36:04.73\00:36:07.33
he'll be ministering
to us through Gethsemane.
00:36:07.43\00:36:10.77
All the way from
heaven's splendor
00:36:24.41\00:36:30.49
Robed in flesh, One in a manger
00:36:30.99\00:36:36.66
Jesus came to set
sin's captives free
00:36:37.13\00:36:46.17
"Father, not My
will, but Thine be done,"
00:36:47.67\00:36:54.81
Was the prayer He
prayed, God's only Son
00:36:55.24\00:37:01.18
So, He drank the
bitter cup for you and me
00:37:01.55\00:37:10.59
He suffered Gethsemane
00:37:12.23\00:37:17.47
Through blood, sweat, and tears
00:37:18.50\00:37:23.47
Each drop of blood He shed
00:37:24.44\00:37:29.11
Bought me a million years
00:37:29.54\00:37:36.12
God's crowning sacrifice
00:37:36.79\00:37:42.96
His spotless Lamb
00:37:43.39\00:37:49.00
Now risen from the grave
00:37:49.23\00:37:54.07
He is the great I Am
00:37:54.30\00:38:00.68
All alone, He felt forsaken
00:38:04.15\00:38:10.02
In the garden,
His heart was breaking
00:38:10.42\00:38:16.46
Yet He chose to die on Calvary
00:38:16.52\00:38:25.80
Jesus, blessed
Savior and Redeemer
00:38:27.40\00:38:35.38
All to Him I now surrender
00:38:35.48\00:38:41.32
Could I do less
after all He's done for me
00:38:41.78\00:38:50.19
He suffered Gethsemane
00:38:51.99\00:38:57.67
Through blood, sweat, and tears
00:38:58.10\00:39:02.50
Each drop of blood He shed
00:39:04.01\00:39:08.94
Bought me a million years
00:39:09.01\00:39:15.85
God's crowning sacrifice
00:39:16.45\00:39:22.39
His spotless Lamb
00:39:23.02\00:39:28.43
Now risen from the grave
00:39:29.00\00:39:33.54
He is the great I Am
00:39:33.94\00:39:40.61
He could have left
us to die in our sin
00:39:43.38\00:39:49.18
Alone, forever lost
00:39:49.28\00:39:54.72
Oh, but grace would
change how the story ends
00:39:54.86\00:40:01.46
Jesus' blood would pay the cost
00:40:01.96\00:40:09.74
He suffered Gethsemane
00:40:10.01\00:40:15.64
Through blood, sweat, and tears
00:40:16.01\00:40:21.35
Each drop of blood He shed
00:40:21.92\00:40:26.89
Bought me a million years
00:40:26.99\00:40:33.80
God's crowning sacrifice
00:40:34.36\00:40:40.57
His spotless Lamb
00:40:40.67\00:40:46.37
Now risen from the grave
00:40:46.47\00:40:51.41
He is the great I Am
00:40:51.88\00:40:58.45
God's crowning sacrifice
00:40:59.35\00:41:05.39
His spotless Lamb
00:41:05.49\00:41:13.77
Now risen from the grave
00:41:14.10\00:41:18.17
He is the great I Am
00:41:18.51\00:41:25.51
Now risen from the grave
00:41:25.95\00:41:30.62
He is the great I Am
00:41:31.22\00:41:41.06
Mm...
00:41:48.57\00:41:57.91
- Amen. Wow. Amazing.
Thank you, Ryan, so much.
00:42:05.79\00:42:09.52
What a...just a beautiful
delivery on this song that
00:42:09.59\00:42:13.56
talks about, when you
think about Jesus in the garden
00:42:13.63\00:42:16.83
of Gethsemane, that He was
willing to give His life for
00:42:16.93\00:42:21.27
you and me. It said
that He sweat great drops of
00:42:21.34\00:42:24.47
blood...but each drop
of blood bought you and me
00:42:24.57\00:42:27.88
a million years. I
mean, think about eternity and
00:42:27.98\00:42:30.75
how it can go on and
on and on. Sometimes, it's
00:42:30.85\00:42:33.98
almost mind-boggling-but
the love that God has for
00:42:34.08\00:42:37.09
fallen man... Now we
see through a glass darkly,
00:42:37.15\00:42:40.39
but then face to face...
But someday, we'll understand
00:42:40.46\00:42:43.43
it better by and by. And
to me, it's just an amazing
00:42:43.49\00:42:46.90
gift that God has
given. So, our hope and prayer
00:42:47.00\00:42:49.83
is that each and every one
of you accepts Jesus Christ
00:42:49.90\00:42:53.07
as Lord and Savior of your
life, and all you have to do
00:42:53.17\00:42:55.80
is confess your sins. He's
faithful and just to forgive
00:42:55.90\00:42:58.27
you from your sins, cleanse
you from all unrighteousness,
00:42:58.37\00:43:01.24
then all you have to do
is go and tell. That's what
00:43:01.34\00:43:03.58
Ryan's doing! He's doing
it- what God has done for him.
00:43:03.65\00:43:06.25
His own personal testimony's
his greatest asset right now,
00:43:07.72\00:43:10.69
because he's out singing
or preaching, "This is what
00:43:10.75\00:43:14.06
Jesus has done for
me." Ryan, thank you so much
00:43:14.12\00:43:16.76
for what you're doing.
We don't have a lot of time
00:43:16.83\00:43:19.19
for the talking part; we're
going to try to get in another
00:43:19.26\00:43:21.23
song, but you gotta tell
us a little bit about when
00:43:21.30\00:43:23.23
we got you, we
actually got a package, a deal,
00:43:23.30\00:43:26.47
and who's now also involved
in the ministry. - That's
00:43:26.57\00:43:30.24
right. So my wife, when
we were with Amazing Facts,
00:43:30.27\00:43:31.91
we traveled both together
for five years on the road.
00:43:32.01\00:43:35.14
She had, you know,
there at the last, she had a
00:43:35.98\00:43:38.51
little bit of an
extended time where she taught
00:43:38.61\00:43:41.88
at another school
before coming to 3ABN with me.
00:43:41.98\00:43:44.32
When we were making
the decision to come here,
00:43:44.42\00:43:46.92
we wanted to make sure
that her gifts were being
00:43:48.22\00:43:50.16
used, as well, and so
we just prayed, "Lord,
00:43:50.23\00:43:53.03
if there's some way
that Stephanie could also be
00:43:53.09\00:43:55.56
used for Your glory and
her gifts be used for You"...
00:43:55.63\00:43:59.23
- But there really
wasn't an opening that we could
00:43:59.30\00:44:01.34
see. - Yeah, there
wasn't at the moment. - But she
00:44:01.40\00:44:03.27
said a great thing: "Well,
I'd be willing to do production
00:44:03.34\00:44:06.04
if I needed to. I've
had some experience, or
00:44:06.11\00:44:08.24
wherever you need me."
So that, when you say you're
00:44:08.31\00:44:11.01
willing like that,
it's amazing what God does.
00:44:11.08\00:44:13.75
- That's right; and
this was actually before we
00:44:13.85\00:44:15.48
had actually formally
come on as an employee when we
00:44:15.58\00:44:19.29
were here recording
one day, and then the Lord
00:44:19.35\00:44:21.22
just opened an incredible
door. The superintendent
00:44:21.32\00:44:23.32
of schools here was
here on campus at 3ABN, or at
00:44:23.39\00:44:26.76
the school across the
road, and she got to meet him,
00:44:26.83\00:44:28.86
and the rest is
history. She's now the principal
00:44:28.96\00:44:31.97
and head teacher of the
Thompsonville Junior Christian
00:44:32.03\00:44:34.64
Academy. - Amen. - So,
it's a blessing. - Isn't that
00:44:34.70\00:44:36.84
amazing? - Absolutely.
- I love it. So, for the
00:44:36.91\00:44:40.18
future, God's got
big plans for the both of
00:44:40.28\00:44:43.68
you. - Absolutely! -
And you're young enough that
00:44:43.78\00:44:45.85
He can use it, and it
gives me great peace knowing
00:44:45.91\00:44:48.78
that we have people
like Greg and Jill Morikone,
00:44:48.85\00:44:51.02
and we got Jason Bradley-
you know, Dare to Dream-
00:44:51.12\00:44:54.42
we got Jason Bergmann
in accounting, have you in
00:44:54.52\00:44:57.09
ministry, Tim
Parton- a number of folks. So
00:44:57.16\00:45:01.00
as I'm getting older
and older, you know, say,
00:45:01.06\00:45:03.30
"Well, should the
Lord tarry?" 3ABN's in good
00:45:03.37\00:45:06.00
hands, and I'm so thankful
that God is bringing the
00:45:06.07\00:45:08.37
right people here that
have a burden to get an
00:45:08.44\00:45:11.87
undiluted three
angels' messages-one that
00:45:11.94\00:45:14.18
would counteract the
counterfeit into all the
00:45:14.24\00:45:16.85
world. What I'd like to
do- Ryan, we do have time.
00:45:16.91\00:45:20.32
We'll come back and talk
for a little bit more, but
00:45:20.42\00:45:22.12
I would like to go
back and have you do- this
00:45:22.22\00:45:25.12
is a great song. Probably
everybody listening to it
00:45:25.19\00:45:28.92
will know it. If
not, it's time you learn
00:45:28.99\00:45:30.63
it! It's one of the greatest
songs from my life. My dad
00:45:30.69\00:45:34.90
would sing it; I remember
as a child in church, watching
00:45:34.96\00:45:38.03
my dad up front, singing,
"Until Then." So right now,
00:45:38.13\00:45:41.44
sit back and be blessed as
Ryan sings to you, "Until Then."
00:45:41.50\00:45:45.71
My heart can sing
when I pause to remember
00:45:58.82\00:46:08.63
A heartache here is
but a stepping stone
00:46:09.90\00:46:19.17
Along a trail that's
winding always upward
00:46:20.94\00:46:30.62
This troubled world
is not my final home
00:46:32.65\00:46:42.10
But until then my
heart will go on singing
00:46:43.70\00:46:53.68
Until then with
joy I'll carry on
00:46:55.14\00:47:04.95
Until the day my
eyes behold that city
00:47:06.12\00:47:16.06
Until the day God calls me home
00:47:17.07\00:47:26.47
The things of earth
will dim and lose their value
00:47:29.84\00:47:39.55
If we recall
they're borrowed for a while
00:47:40.09\00:47:49.96
And things of earth that
cause my heart to tremble
00:47:51.23\00:48:01.08
Remembered there
will only bring a smile
00:48:02.91\00:48:12.12
But until then my
heart will go on singing
00:48:13.89\00:48:22.93
Until then with
joy I'll carry on
00:48:25.40\00:48:35.28
Until the day my
eyes behold that city
00:48:36.64\00:48:46.15
Until the day God calls me home
00:48:47.56\00:48:57.10
Until the day my
eyes behold that city
00:48:59.50\00:49:09.34
Until the day God calls me home
00:49:11.61\00:49:21.56
Until the day He calls me home
00:49:26.19\00:49:35.97
- Well, that's a two-hander
right there. Just think about
00:49:46.45\00:49:48.88
it: when God calls
us home, you know when
00:49:49.02\00:49:51.05
that will be? Now,
some people say, "Well, if
00:49:51.15\00:49:53.56
I die today, He's
going to call me home." No,
00:49:53.62\00:49:55.82
not then. We gotta sleep
for a little while, sleep
00:49:55.92\00:49:58.33
in the grave, the
Bible says, but at the Second
00:49:58.43\00:50:00.06
Coming, at the sound
of the trump, the dead in
00:50:00.13\00:50:02.73
Christ shall rise first. We
which are alive and remain shall
00:50:02.80\00:50:05.93
be caught up together
with the Lord in the air.
00:50:06.03\00:50:08.97
What a glorious day
that will be. But until then,
00:50:09.04\00:50:12.11
we need to hold on, keep
the faith, don't be discouraged.
00:50:12.21\00:50:15.84
When things come
against you, don't blame God;
00:50:15.98\00:50:18.31
blame the devil! He's
the one that's out to steal,
00:50:18.41\00:50:20.48
kill, and to destroy.
Jesus says, "I am come to give
00:50:20.52\00:50:23.45
you live and give it
more abundantly." I don't know
00:50:23.49\00:50:25.79
about you, but I'm encouraged
today to hear these songs of
00:50:25.85\00:50:28.16
faith, to hear Ryan's
testimony... It's incredible
00:50:28.26\00:50:31.43
what God is doing.
Just as He's orchestrating-
00:50:31.53\00:50:34.43
and Ryan, just as He's
orchestrating your life,
00:50:34.50\00:50:37.23
each and every person watching
this program today, Ryan,
00:50:37.33\00:50:40.94
you agree with me God is
orchestrating their salvation,
00:50:41.04\00:50:44.51
and it's a matter of accepting
that free gift. Why don't you
00:50:44.61\00:50:47.18
take just a couple minutes
and you look into the camera
00:50:47.24\00:50:49.88
and talk to the folk today
that, maybe, you're sitting
00:50:49.94\00:50:52.48
on the fence or trying
to decide what they really
00:50:52.55\00:50:55.15
want to do with their lives.
- Absolutely. You know, just
00:50:55.22\00:50:57.19
as you said-the
Bible promises us that God,
00:50:57.29\00:50:59.85
He is the great Creator.
He is the King of the cosmos;
00:50:59.92\00:51:03.06
and there is not a hair
on your head that He doesn't
00:51:03.12\00:51:06.36
know about, and He loves
each and every - the Bible
00:51:06.43\00:51:08.80
says God IS love. And
you know, He displayed
00:51:08.90\00:51:12.97
that love on Mount
Calvary when He gave each and
00:51:13.07\00:51:15.40
every drop of blood
of His life and breath of
00:51:15.47\00:51:18.67
His life for us that
we may have salvation.
00:51:18.77\00:51:21.74
You know, we're
talking about ministry; we're
00:51:21.81\00:51:23.58
talking about preaching
and singing, and all of
00:51:23.65\00:51:25.65
these things are
great... It's not for our glory;
00:51:25.71\00:51:28.05
it's for His. I'm not
the only one with a talent,
00:51:28.18\00:51:31.55
Danny. God has
blessed each and every person
00:51:31.65\00:51:33.52
with a gift and a
talent to use for Him, and
00:51:33.66\00:51:37.03
I want to encourage each
and every person at home,
00:51:37.13\00:51:38.63
watching, that it's
not too late, no matter
00:51:38.69\00:51:41.60
where you are in
your walk with the Lord.
00:51:41.66\00:51:43.93
You may think you don't
have a walk with the Lord-
00:51:44.03\00:51:46.60
it's still not too
late. All you simply have to
00:51:46.67\00:51:48.54
do is call out to
Him and say, "Lord, I
00:51:48.60\00:51:50.24
recognize that I am a
sinner, and I recognize
00:51:50.31\00:51:52.34
that you gave your
life that I may have life
00:51:52.44\00:51:56.08
more abundantly and
be saved from my sin."
00:51:56.18\00:51:58.28
So I encourage you:
give your heart to Jesus.
00:51:58.35\00:52:00.35
Simply kneel- you
could do it no matter where
00:52:00.42\00:52:02.15
you are; you could be
at home, you could be at
00:52:02.22\00:52:04.09
work, you could be
driving down the road. You could
00:52:04.19\00:52:05.89
be listening to this incredible
CD! And to encourage you to
00:52:05.95\00:52:10.33
give your heart to
Jesus. I encourage you to do so
00:52:10.43\00:52:12.16
while you still have
time, because Jesus IS alive.
00:52:12.26\00:52:15.26
He is still living
and He is still working
00:52:15.36\00:52:18.00
among His people, and
He will come again for His
00:52:18.07\00:52:20.90
people who are prepared
and ready for His return.
00:52:20.97\00:52:23.74
- Amen. Thank you
so much. When we think
00:52:23.81\00:52:26.98
about it, you know,
the goodness of God, again,
00:52:27.04\00:52:30.21
it makes each of
us- we feel so unworthy,
00:52:30.28\00:52:33.01
but really, we should,
because we're not worthy.
00:52:33.11\00:52:35.38
But as you said, God is
love. - He is love. - And
00:52:35.48\00:52:38.15
so again, I'm so thankful
today for you and for your
00:52:38.22\00:52:41.06
music that you're doing
and for this new CD that
00:52:41.12\00:52:44.19
we have right here that
I'm hanging onto...in just
00:52:44.26\00:52:47.26
a minute, this new
CD... But what we'd like for
00:52:47.40\00:52:50.43
you to do, we're going
to put up an address roll in
00:52:50.50\00:52:52.40
just a few seconds. And
so, I would encourage you
00:52:52.47\00:52:55.44
to contact Ryan,
because if I understand it right
00:52:55.54\00:52:59.81
that weekends,
people, once you come out and
00:52:59.87\00:53:02.88
minister to- you and
Tim maybe to come out and
00:53:02.98\00:53:05.78
do some stuff
together, do some music and of
00:53:05.88\00:53:07.75
course, you haven't heard
Tim Parton. Tim was playing
00:53:07.85\00:53:10.02
quite a bit on the
music you were singing then,
00:53:10.09\00:53:13.19
but an incredible piano
player; he's really gifted.
00:53:13.25\00:53:16.06
And the two of them together
is a lot of fun, and they'll
00:53:16.12\00:53:18.33
minister to you. So if
you want to contact them,
00:53:18.39\00:53:20.30
you may do so at
the following address.
