Yvonne, I can't
believe our time is all gone.
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.86
I know it went by so quickly.
00:00:02.90\00:00:04.47
You see, the time
flies when you're having fun.
00:00:04.50\00:00:06.17
That's right.
00:00:06.20\00:00:07.54
Elder Wilson, there's
a large audience out here
00:00:07.57\00:00:09.77
around the world,
and maybe you have
00:00:09.80\00:00:11.27
a closing
thought for us for today.
00:00:11.31\00:00:13.84
What a blessing.
00:00:13.88\00:00:15.21
It's been to be on 3ABN Today
00:00:15.24\00:00:18.05
and activities that
are spanning the globe
00:00:18.08\00:00:22.32
and involving you.
00:00:22.35\00:00:23.92
And that's where we come
back to that marvelous concept
00:00:23.95\00:00:27.52
of total member involvement,
00:00:27.56\00:00:29.22
which involves you as a viewer,
00:00:29.26\00:00:33.16
as a church
member, someone who can be
00:00:33.19\00:00:36.70
part of God's great
mission to this world.
00:00:36.73\00:00:40.30
He could have
asked the angels to do it
00:00:40.34\00:00:42.20
but He asked us to participate
in this marvelous explanation
00:00:42.24\00:00:46.71
of His plan of salvation.
00:00:46.74\00:00:48.31
And not only
explaining it but living it.
00:00:48.34\00:00:51.51
And I'd like to focus
for just a few seconds
00:00:51.55\00:00:54.38
on that beautiful
aspect in 1 Thessalonians 5.
00:00:54.42\00:00:58.82
It tells us that
00:00:58.85\00:01:00.56
we are to be powerful people
00:01:00.59\00:01:05.56
because the day of
the Lord is coming.
00:01:05.59\00:01:08.50
And we are to be sons
and daughters of light
00:01:08.53\00:01:11.77
and sons of the day.
00:01:11.80\00:01:13.40
And it tells us to be
patient, to rejoice always,
00:01:13.44\00:01:17.71
to pray without ceasing,
and everything give thanks,
00:01:17.74\00:01:20.28
don't quench the
spirit, don't quench prophecies.
00:01:20.31\00:01:23.88
And then it says,
"Now may the God of peace
00:01:23.91\00:01:26.45
Himself sanctify you completely,
00:01:26.48\00:01:28.95
and may your whole spirit, soul,
00:01:28.98\00:01:30.65
and body be preserved blameless
00:01:30.69\00:01:32.29
at the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ."
00:01:32.32\00:01:35.16
He is coming soon,
and He wants you to be
00:01:35.19\00:01:37.89
part of sharing this message.
00:01:37.93\00:01:40.60
I invite you to do that today.
00:01:40.63\00:01:43.30
Thank you so much.
00:01:43.33\00:01:44.67
Until we see you next time,
may the Lord richly bless you
00:01:44.70\00:01:46.77
abundantly more than
you could ever ask or think.
00:01:46.80\00:01:49.30
