00:00:01.90\00:00:07.87
Mending broken people
00:00:07.90\00:00:12.87
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.91\00:00:19.08
Removing pain
00:00:19.11\00:00:24.02
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.05\00:00:30.33
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.36\00:00:34.90
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.93\00:00:40.70
Mending broken people
00:00:40.74\00:00:46.01
I want to spend my life

Mending broken people
00:00:51.65\00:00:55.55
Hello, friends, and
welcome to Thursday night
00:01:10.23\00:01:12.90
Behind the Scenes here at 3ABN.
00:01:12.93\00:01:15.47
I've got the
most beautiful women
00:01:15.50\00:01:16.87
in the world to my right.
00:01:16.91\00:01:18.24
Oh!
00:01:18.27\00:01:19.61
If I didn't believe that, Honey,
00:01:19.64\00:01:20.98
I wouldn't be with
you as long as I have.
00:01:21.01\00:01:22.34
And I have the
most handsome man.
00:01:22.38\00:01:25.08
I said that in awe,
I said that in emotion.
00:01:25.11\00:01:27.75
We're so excited
to be here, aren't we?
00:01:27.78\00:01:29.58
That's right.
00:01:29.62\00:01:30.95
And we are so happy
that you've taken the time
00:01:30.99\00:01:32.75
to join us your 3ABN family.
00:01:32.79\00:01:35.89
My name is John
Lomacang, my wife is...
00:01:35.92\00:01:38.56
Angela, a.k.a.
00:01:38.59\00:01:40.23
Angie. That's right.
00:01:40.26\00:01:41.60
We know her as Angie,
00:01:41.63\00:01:42.96
but you can call Angela
for all intents and purposes.
00:01:43.00\00:01:45.47
But what's exciting about
this program Behind the Scenes,
00:01:45.50\00:01:48.77
and if you're part
of the 3ABN family,
00:01:48.80\00:01:50.34
you've been a part
of that program before.
00:01:50.37\00:01:52.57
We take you
literally behind the scenes
00:01:52.61\00:01:54.44
to see things
that are happening,
00:01:54.48\00:01:56.04
that are growing
in this ministry,
00:01:56.08\00:01:57.61
our new programs.
00:01:57.65\00:01:59.11
We encourage you on things
that the Lord is doing here
00:01:59.15\00:02:02.08
in each of the
independent ministries.
00:02:02.12\00:02:04.12
And, Honey, this is a ministry
00:02:04.15\00:02:05.55
that you're also
involved in a very real way.
00:02:05.59\00:02:07.39
not just as my co-host
00:02:07.42\00:02:09.16
but you work for this
ministry in what capacity?
00:02:09.19\00:02:10.69
Yeah, I work for 3ABN Radio,
00:02:10.73\00:02:13.03
I think that's the
best place to work.
00:02:13.06\00:02:16.50
I love my job, I love what I do,
00:02:16.53\00:02:19.47
and everything about...
00:02:19.50\00:02:21.17
Working here, this ministry
is truly been a blessing.
00:02:21.20\00:02:25.21
I have grown in
such a wonderful way.
00:02:25.24\00:02:27.74
Amen.
00:02:27.78\00:02:29.11
God has blessed
my life personally.
00:02:29.14\00:02:31.51
As I interview
people on the radio,
00:02:31.55\00:02:33.95
it's done something for me
that I couldn't even imagine.
00:02:33.98\00:02:37.12
So I just praise the Lord
00:02:37.15\00:02:38.75
for Danny giving me
this opportunity and Yvonne.
00:02:38.79\00:02:41.72
I just, I love what I
do and I'm very grateful.
00:02:41.76\00:02:44.99
That's right.
00:02:45.03\00:02:46.36
And, you know, you
might not think about it,
00:02:46.39\00:02:47.90
but people recognize it.
00:02:47.93\00:02:49.26
We were in
Australia not too long ago.
00:02:49.30\00:02:51.40
We have some funny stories.
00:02:51.43\00:02:52.77
We were there in
Australia not too long ago
00:02:52.80\00:02:54.14
and somebody said,
00:02:54.17\00:02:55.94
"I'd like to take a
picture with you all."
00:02:55.97\00:02:57.31
And my wife says,
00:02:57.34\00:02:58.67
"Okay, come John,
let's take a picture."
00:02:58.71\00:03:00.04
And he says, "No,
not you, just her."
00:03:00.08\00:03:01.41
Yeah. I said me!
00:03:01.44\00:03:02.91
Just her...
00:03:02.94\00:03:04.38
So he says, "He
listens to me on 3ABN Radio."
00:03:04.41\00:03:07.18
So I'm very honored to
be a part of this ministry
00:03:07.22\00:03:10.85
and work for radio.
00:03:10.89\00:03:12.22
Then the next nice part
about it is our 3ABN family,
00:03:12.25\00:03:14.79
so we don't want to
hold you in suspense.
00:03:14.82\00:03:17.33
We want to let you know
who is a part of this program
00:03:17.36\00:03:19.09
and people that we
work with every day.
00:03:19.13\00:03:22.06
Oh, I'm so honored
to be in this seat.
00:03:22.10\00:03:23.97
And so, let's
start with our boss
00:03:24.00\00:03:27.14
and our brother Danny Shelton.
00:03:27.17\00:03:29.30
Oh, it's good to
be here. It's great.
00:03:29.34\00:03:31.11
Now you said to
your, what, your right?
00:03:31.14\00:03:33.51
What did you say? To my right.
00:03:33.54\00:03:34.88
And to my left, say I
have the most beautiful woman,
00:03:34.91\00:03:36.88
but when you get our age
00:03:36.91\00:03:38.55
what happens is
mine and Yvonne's,
00:03:38.58\00:03:41.88
it's the beauty that
you see on the inside
00:03:41.92\00:03:44.65
you kind of hope that.
00:03:44.69\00:03:46.02
You're messing it up right now.
00:03:46.05\00:03:48.46
Well, let me try
to straighten it up.
00:03:48.49\00:03:50.89
Let me hang on a sec.
00:03:50.93\00:03:52.26
Let me try to
straighten it up. All right.
00:03:52.29\00:03:53.63
Oh, she always says to me,
00:03:53.66\00:03:55.03
she'd say, "Oh, you're so
cute, you're so handsome."
00:03:55.06\00:03:57.43
And I say, "You're
not getting new glasses."
00:03:57.47\00:04:00.44
I'm not letting
her get new glasses.
00:04:00.47\00:04:02.10
Now on the other
hand, I don't wear glasses
00:04:02.14\00:04:04.14
so I can still say
that you're beautiful,
00:04:04.17\00:04:06.37
but the whole thing as
what you were talking about.
00:04:06.41\00:04:09.88
Beauty is more than skin deep
00:04:09.91\00:04:11.55
and is beauty what you guys have
00:04:11.58\00:04:14.12
has really nothing to
do with the outside beauty
00:04:14.15\00:04:17.72
or a whole lot more
to do with the insides.
00:04:17.75\00:04:20.26
You have the same goals,
the same mission in life,
00:04:20.29\00:04:23.19
that's to serve
the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:04:23.22\00:04:25.26
You share your lives together
and that's a beautiful thing.
00:04:25.29\00:04:27.56
Amen.
00:04:27.60\00:04:28.93
And I'm thankful though
we can do the same thing,
00:04:28.96\00:04:30.87
not nearly as many years,
00:04:30.90\00:04:32.30
but I praise the Lord for
you, for your love for Jesus
00:04:32.33\00:04:35.64
and for what you do,
00:04:35.67\00:04:37.01
and using your
talents for the Lord
00:04:37.04\00:04:38.37
and being able to work together
in ministry is really great.
00:04:38.41\00:04:40.51
It is, it's such a
blessing. It really is.
00:04:40.54\00:04:43.51
You know, some
people will hate working
00:04:43.55\00:04:45.01
with their
spouses or whatever but...
00:04:45.05\00:04:46.38
I know. I love it.
00:04:46.41\00:04:47.88
It's so great because we
can talk about everything
00:04:47.92\00:04:50.95
and pray together,
and so it's just...
00:04:50.99\00:04:54.09
And I have to be careful
about bossing her at work
00:04:54.12\00:04:56.39
'cause when we get
home she might boss me.
00:04:56.42\00:05:00.36
That's right.
00:05:00.40\00:05:01.73
Your authority is
owned to you for a day.
00:05:01.76\00:05:04.47
Same here.
00:05:04.50\00:05:05.83
I think of all
that before I say,
00:05:05.87\00:05:07.20
"Hey, Yvonne, I
say, I've date with,
00:05:07.24\00:05:09.70
you know, we start like that.
00:05:09.74\00:05:12.07
This is fun part, and you
guys are amazing together.
00:05:12.11\00:05:14.68
God knew that ministry
could always get better
00:05:14.71\00:05:18.05
and he sent you, a New Yorker.
00:05:18.08\00:05:20.55
Praise the Lord. Yes.
00:05:20.58\00:05:21.92
Who thought that good...
00:05:21.95\00:05:23.35
A godly New Yorker,
nice person New Yorker.
00:05:23.39\00:05:25.89
I have to clean it up.
00:05:25.92\00:05:27.26
There are nice
people in New York.
00:05:27.29\00:05:28.62
We're from New York, right?
00:05:28.66\00:05:29.99
Praise the Lord,
but let's not just...
00:05:30.03\00:05:31.36
Danny and Yvonne, so
good to have you here.
00:05:31.39\00:05:33.03
Well, we have two gentlemen here
00:05:33.06\00:05:34.40
that are hiding out to
our right to your left.
00:05:34.43\00:05:37.20
Being plain sight.
00:05:37.23\00:05:39.13
And now they're plain sight.
00:05:39.17\00:05:41.97
Well, Tim, somebody
might be watching this program
00:05:42.00\00:05:44.14
for the first time
and they might wonder,
00:05:44.17\00:05:45.84
who is Tim Parton?
00:05:45.87\00:05:47.21
Who am I?
00:05:47.24\00:05:48.58
Well, my name is Tim Parton,
and I am the general manager
00:05:48.61\00:05:50.58
of the Praise Him Music Network.
00:05:50.61\00:05:51.95
That's right.
00:05:51.98\00:05:53.31
The music network that
launched just January 2.
00:05:53.35\00:05:55.72
All right.
00:05:55.75\00:05:57.09
Right here at the
beginning of the year.
00:05:57.12\00:05:58.45
Praise the Lord.
00:05:58.49\00:05:59.82
So we are still in infancy.
00:05:59.85\00:06:01.39
I mean, just still in diapers,
00:06:01.42\00:06:04.76
and we'll be in
diapers for quite a while.
00:06:04.79\00:06:06.70
It's been a
daunting task, but amazing.
00:06:06.73\00:06:10.90
We've been
getting amazing comments
00:06:10.93\00:06:14.04
and really appreciate you
watching the music network
00:06:14.07\00:06:16.74
24/7 on the internet,
00:06:16.77\00:06:19.04
you can go watch
it through the apps
00:06:19.07\00:06:20.78
or soon to be on
Roku and Apple TV.
00:06:20.81\00:06:23.68
All right.
00:06:23.71\00:06:25.05
And we stream on YouTube,
00:06:25.08\00:06:27.72
not the
YouTube, it's on YouTube.
00:06:27.75\00:06:29.28
Yeah.
00:06:29.32\00:06:30.65
And so the 3ABN Praise Him,
00:06:30.69\00:06:33.36
so we have a lot of
ways you can watch us
00:06:33.39\00:06:35.22
and it's
wonderful, wonderful music.
00:06:35.26\00:06:38.33
And, you know, this is something
00:06:38.36\00:06:39.69
that we wanted to
do for a lot of years
00:06:39.73\00:06:42.16
and I was even
asked some time ago
00:06:42.20\00:06:44.07
in National Quartet Convention
00:06:44.10\00:06:45.70
about would you
want to do things with us
00:06:45.73\00:06:48.10
to put some together a
really good music channel
00:06:48.14\00:06:51.34
because there's been
very few gospel channels 24/7,
00:06:51.37\00:06:56.85
and I'm not sure if they're
still there, there may be.
00:06:56.88\00:06:59.15
So there's not to put
down on somebody else,
00:06:59.18\00:07:01.35
they're just not
that well-known and so.
00:07:01.38\00:07:04.25
But the quality what
you put together is amazing
00:07:04.29\00:07:07.56
because we have people
00:07:07.59\00:07:08.96
that are
incredible at what they do.
00:07:08.99\00:07:10.39
That's right.
00:07:10.43\00:07:11.76
We give God the glory
00:07:11.79\00:07:13.29
but, and a lot of
people are gonna be on here
00:07:13.33\00:07:15.63
the people that
you've worked with
00:07:15.66\00:07:17.23
in the music industry
and that we have in the past
00:07:17.27\00:07:20.27
that are very well-known,
they are great songwriters,
00:07:20.30\00:07:23.51
great singers, great musicians,
00:07:23.54\00:07:25.77
and some of the ideas
for new music projects.
00:07:25.81\00:07:28.71
I have one about you
and a couple other people
00:07:28.74\00:07:31.38
doing a piano like a trio,
00:07:31.41\00:07:33.38
they would sing
and all of that that,
00:07:33.42\00:07:35.08
I wanna talk
more about, you know,
00:07:35.12\00:07:37.12
so the music
channel to me is first rate
00:07:37.15\00:07:39.95
the quality our
production team is amazing.
00:07:39.99\00:07:41.96
Yeah.
00:07:41.99\00:07:43.32
And so we do it, we've got
it as all of you know here.
00:07:43.36\00:07:45.59
Oh yeah. We
have an incredible...
00:07:45.63\00:07:47.60
They're so
creative that it's amazing,
00:07:47.63\00:07:50.43
and so, take very little
and can do a lot with it.
00:07:50.47\00:07:52.53
Oh, yeah.
00:07:52.57\00:07:53.90
So, you know, it
always complements what we do,
00:07:53.94\00:07:56.60
but the music
channel, the Praise Him channel
00:07:56.64\00:08:00.14
and we do sets and the designs
00:08:00.18\00:08:02.61
and using new
technology and all that,
00:08:02.64\00:08:05.08
I mean, incredible and
then they have the artists
00:08:05.11\00:08:07.58
listening to the testimonies.
00:08:07.62\00:08:09.18
I've been
watching it and I enjoy it.
00:08:09.22\00:08:11.75
I've chance it
if I'm on my phone,
00:08:11.79\00:08:13.36
if I'm there I'm
somewhere a few minutes,
00:08:13.39\00:08:15.16
I turn on and say,
let's see who's on now.
00:08:15.19\00:08:17.39
But this is like
in the candy store,
00:08:17.43\00:08:20.40
our music on the life.
00:08:20.43\00:08:22.13
Actually 3ABN has a dedicated
channel for gospel music.
00:08:22.16\00:08:26.27
Amen.
00:08:26.30\00:08:27.64
And it's nothing new, we
have to apologize to everybody
00:08:27.67\00:08:30.17
in the world for when you
look at it there's world class,
00:08:30.21\00:08:33.24
you know, musicians, singers,
and all that but Christians,
00:08:33.27\00:08:36.54
that's what
makes it so beautiful.
00:08:36.58\00:08:38.58
There's great
musicians everywhere,
00:08:38.61\00:08:40.65
but to turn on to a network,
00:08:40.68\00:08:42.42
Tim, that everybody you
work with loves the Lord.
00:08:42.45\00:08:45.72
None of us are perfect,
00:08:45.75\00:08:47.09
but we love the Lord
and they've dedicated
00:08:47.12\00:08:48.76
their time, their talents,
their abilities through music.
00:08:48.79\00:08:52.46
I mean it's a great thing,
00:08:52.49\00:08:54.10
so thank you so
much for what you do.
00:08:54.13\00:08:55.46
So everything he said.
00:08:55.50\00:08:58.10
I mean, the nice thing about it.
00:08:58.13\00:08:59.47
I wanna let our
viewers and listeners know,
00:08:59.50\00:09:01.44
the nice thing about it is
00:09:01.47\00:09:03.00
we are tapping
into new technology
00:09:03.04\00:09:04.94
because we can see the
way the world is going.
00:09:04.97\00:09:06.98
Pretty soon it's gonna all be
iPads, phones, Android, iPhone,
00:09:07.01\00:09:11.78
we're getting into
the world that's mobile.
00:09:11.81\00:09:13.35
Very few people,
00:09:13.38\00:09:14.72
the young people don't want
to sit down in one stable place
00:09:14.75\00:09:16.58
unless they have to.
00:09:16.62\00:09:17.95
Right. That's true.
00:09:17.99\00:09:19.32
But, you know, you could
tap into 3ABN wherever you are.
00:09:19.35\00:09:21.32
If you're driving in your car...
00:09:21.36\00:09:22.69
Yeah.
00:09:22.72\00:09:24.06
These new cars
that have Apple Play,
00:09:24.09\00:09:27.83
you can just take your phone,
lay it down and tune into 3ABN,
00:09:27.86\00:09:31.20
and that's an
amazing thing to do.
00:09:31.23\00:09:32.57
So, you know, that's amazing.
00:09:32.60\00:09:33.94
The music channel is...
00:09:33.97\00:09:35.30
Yeah, it is. Wonderful.
00:09:35.34\00:09:36.67
It's a blessing.
00:09:36.71\00:09:38.04
And you don't have to watch it.
00:09:38.07\00:09:39.41
You can listen to it
while you're driving.
00:09:39.44\00:09:40.78
Yeah, yes.
00:09:40.81\00:09:42.14
Don't wanna watch while
you're driving because...
00:09:42.18\00:09:43.51
Right, yeah. But...
00:09:43.55\00:09:44.88
Who is this?
00:09:44.91\00:09:46.25
Last but not least, I call
it my nephew Jay, Jason Bradley.
00:09:46.28\00:09:50.05
Welcome, Jason,
00:09:50.09\00:09:51.42
and you're doing a marvelous job
00:09:51.45\00:09:53.19
here for Dare to Dream
00:09:53.22\00:09:54.96
and you have grown
in such a beautiful way.
00:09:54.99\00:09:57.63
Lord has blessed you in such...
00:09:57.66\00:09:59.76
And I'm grateful
for you to be here.
00:09:59.79\00:10:01.50
So Jason, what do you do now?
00:10:01.53\00:10:03.87
Well, Praise the Lord.
00:10:03.90\00:10:05.23
I'm blessed to be here
and grateful to be here.
00:10:05.27\00:10:07.37
So now I'm the general manager
of 3ABN Dare to Dream now.
00:10:07.40\00:10:10.51
All right.
00:10:10.54\00:10:11.87
So we target
inner city residents
00:10:11.91\00:10:13.44
with the Gospel of Jesus Christ
00:10:13.48\00:10:14.81
and practical
tools for living, so.
00:10:14.84\00:10:17.11
You know, you
need to eat healthier,
00:10:17.15\00:10:19.01
we have great cooking programs
00:10:19.05\00:10:20.72
for that to help give you
some recipes, to equip you
00:10:20.75\00:10:23.79
with what the recipes
you need to have delicious
00:10:23.82\00:10:27.02
and nutritious meals.
00:10:27.06\00:10:28.69
We've got...
00:10:28.72\00:10:30.06
You need to know how
to manage your money.
00:10:30.09\00:10:32.23
We have two
financial literacy programs.
00:10:32.26\00:10:34.00
Two?
00:10:34.03\00:10:35.36
Not one, but two
financial literacy programs
00:10:35.40\00:10:37.43
that you can watch.
00:10:37.47\00:10:39.33
You need to
learn about prophecy,
00:10:39.37\00:10:42.27
we've got a program called
Salvation in Symbols and Signs,
00:10:42.30\00:10:45.21
which you can do there.
00:10:45.24\00:10:46.57
I mean, there's so
many different things.
00:10:46.61\00:10:48.14
We just take a
look at the issues
00:10:48.18\00:10:49.78
that are plugging
inner city residents,
00:10:49.81\00:10:51.68
and package
programming around that
00:10:51.71\00:10:53.98
with biblical solution.
00:10:54.02\00:10:55.48
Even a jail ministry?
00:10:55.52\00:10:56.89
Oh yeah, we're going to
prisons and all of that as well.
00:10:56.92\00:11:00.79
And you you're
becoming quite the preacher,
00:11:00.82\00:11:02.56
we're getting you there.
00:11:02.59\00:11:03.93
Yes, he is.
00:11:03.96\00:11:05.29
He is.
00:11:05.33\00:11:06.66
I keep inviting
you to preach here,
00:11:06.70\00:11:08.03
but you said not yet.
00:11:08.06\00:11:09.66
But the Lord has been
transforming your life,
00:11:09.70\00:11:12.17
your mother, and I know Yvonne,
I cannot praise the Lord enough
00:11:12.20\00:11:16.00
to see the transformation.
00:11:16.04\00:11:17.44
Because I was here, I remember
when Jay first came here
00:11:17.47\00:11:20.88
a number of years ago
and I think Danny said,
00:11:20.91\00:11:22.24
"If you can't get this
place out of your mind,
00:11:22.28\00:11:24.18
this is where
God want you to be."
00:11:24.21\00:11:25.55
And, you know,
we like basketball
00:11:25.58\00:11:27.15
and so, you know, we
went to the basketball court
00:11:27.18\00:11:29.42
and you huffing and puffing
00:11:29.45\00:11:30.85
because you were not living
a healthy life at that time.
00:11:30.89\00:11:32.99
Yes.
00:11:33.02\00:11:34.36
Now the Lord has
changed your life,
00:11:34.39\00:11:35.72
you've been baptized,
you're general manager now.
00:11:35.76\00:11:38.19
Yeah. Wow!
00:11:38.23\00:11:39.56
All heaven is rejoicing. Amen.
00:11:39.59\00:11:41.16
Especially his Mom.
Thank God for a praying Mom.
00:11:41.20\00:11:43.97
This woman prays
hard. She prayed hard.
00:11:44.00\00:11:48.14
Praise the Lord.
00:11:48.17\00:11:49.50
So Lord answers prayer.
00:11:49.54\00:11:51.27
Yeah. That's right.
00:11:51.31\00:11:52.81
They used to pray.
00:11:52.84\00:11:54.18
And so far he's single.
00:11:54.21\00:11:56.64
Well, take that back.
00:11:56.68\00:11:59.91
No, I am not single,
I've got a girlfriend.
00:11:59.95\00:12:01.65
But he has a
girlfriend, there you go.
00:12:01.68\00:12:03.02
I'm very much in love with,
I'm very much faithful to her,
00:12:03.05\00:12:06.15
very much care about her,
00:12:06.19\00:12:07.52
and who I'm very
much dedicated too.
00:12:07.56\00:12:11.23
Nobody write in, nobody call.
00:12:11.26\00:12:13.09
He declared her.
00:12:13.13\00:12:15.10
I liked it.
00:12:15.13\00:12:16.46
That was psychological, Jason.
00:12:16.50\00:12:18.53
She paid me to do that.
00:12:18.57\00:12:21.50
So we're so excited.
00:12:21.54\00:12:23.81
Now we know, it's out.
00:12:23.84\00:12:25.17
It's out there. That's right.
00:12:25.21\00:12:26.98
And she's gonna say,
Mom, see, I told you,
00:12:27.01\00:12:28.84
he said it to the world.
00:12:28.88\00:12:32.38
You know, we have an
exciting program tonight
00:12:32.41\00:12:34.08
because when we talk
about behind the scenes,
00:12:34.12\00:12:36.48
some of you just see
us through the porthole
00:12:36.52\00:12:38.85
or the people of
just this camera.
00:12:38.89\00:12:41.66
And we'd like to
encourage some of you to come
00:12:41.69\00:12:43.46
not only to the camp meeting
because camp meeting is just...
00:12:43.49\00:12:46.53
You know, if you've
missed camp meeting once,
00:12:46.56\00:12:48.43
it doesn't make
sense to miss it twice.
00:12:48.46\00:12:49.83
Correct.
00:12:49.86\00:12:51.20
We'll tell you
about camp meeting,
00:12:51.23\00:12:52.57
but 3ABN is a
multifaceted ministry.
00:12:52.60\00:12:55.37
When I live in
California and somebody said,
00:12:55.40\00:12:57.51
"Come and visit us
when you're in the area."
00:12:57.54\00:12:59.67
You have to really
want to be in the area.
00:12:59.71\00:13:02.68
3ABN as Pastor CA
who's now retired.
00:13:02.71\00:13:06.11
He said, to get
to 3ABN you go what?
00:13:06.15\00:13:09.28
Turn left. To the end...
00:13:09.32\00:13:10.65
End of the road...
00:13:10.69\00:13:12.02
Turn left.
00:13:12.05\00:13:13.39
You turn left it is nowhere.
00:13:13.42\00:13:17.39
On the other
hand, it's everywhere.
00:13:17.43\00:13:19.43
Right. There you go.
00:13:19.46\00:13:21.06
You see, wherever God is
that's where we're gonna be.
00:13:21.10\00:13:23.37
Everywhere. I love it.
00:13:23.40\00:13:24.73
The biggest little city
in the world is right here
00:13:24.77\00:13:26.67
in Thompsonville
and so we're gonna...
00:13:26.70\00:13:29.47
That's right.
Thompsonville, West Frankfort.
00:13:29.50\00:13:31.21
Because we share
both of those lines
00:13:31.24\00:13:33.11
right on Charley Good Road
00:13:33.14\00:13:34.98
is where West Frankfort
ends and Thompsonville begins.
00:13:35.01\00:13:38.65
And so 3ABN Worship
Center is in Thompsonville.
00:13:38.68\00:13:42.35
And the most of the buildings
are here in West Frankfort.
00:13:42.38\00:13:45.49
It's amazing what
happens here, Honey.
00:13:45.52\00:13:46.96
I mean, from the
time we came here, 2003.
00:13:46.99\00:13:50.96
We have seen
this place explode...
00:13:50.99\00:13:52.53
Yeah.
00:13:52.56\00:13:53.90
In the time
that we've been here.
00:13:53.93\00:13:55.26
Yeah, and I'm excited
because there's so much growth
00:13:55.30\00:13:58.03
when we talk about this
wonderful Praise Him channel.
00:13:58.07\00:14:01.07
That's growth, isn't it? Right.
00:14:01.10\00:14:02.70
And I'm just excited to see
00:14:02.74\00:14:05.37
where the Lord's
gonna take us next.
00:14:05.41\00:14:06.94
That's right.
When I say us, 3ABN.
00:14:06.98\00:14:08.94
That's right. That's right.
00:14:08.98\00:14:10.58
Because one day
we asked the Lord,
00:14:10.61\00:14:11.95
what do you want us to do
with the rest of our lives?
00:14:11.98\00:14:14.15
And Danny called two days later.
00:14:14.18\00:14:15.52
Oh, yes, he did.
00:14:15.55\00:14:16.89
So I can't argue with him
00:14:16.92\00:14:18.25
because I didn't
know Danny that way then.
00:14:18.29\00:14:19.62
Praise the Lord for that. Amen.
00:14:19.65\00:14:20.99
But we have an
exciting program tonight.
00:14:21.02\00:14:22.56
But before we
get into the topics
00:14:22.59\00:14:24.13
that we're gonna be covering,
00:14:24.16\00:14:25.49
we can be
talking about evangelism,
00:14:25.53\00:14:26.90
our new programs on
Dare to Dream Network.
00:14:26.93\00:14:29.96
We talked, we
highlighted the music channel,
00:14:30.00\00:14:32.53
but we'll talk about that
more because there's some things
00:14:32.57\00:14:34.57
that you're gonna do
for the music channel.
00:14:34.60\00:14:36.24
You and Ryan Day, who
is... What's the title he has?
00:14:36.27\00:14:40.74
Assistant/Associate/
whatever you want, you can call.
00:14:40.78\00:14:45.18
Seems the big boy and he can...
00:14:45.21\00:14:47.28
He is my announcer sometimes.
00:14:47.32\00:14:50.35
He's my bodyguard.
00:14:50.39\00:14:51.72
No, he's a great
friend in Christ.
00:14:51.75\00:14:53.25
He is a singer, good speaker.
00:14:53.29\00:14:54.62
Great singer, great
speaker, knows the word
00:14:54.66\00:14:57.09
and so I'm proud
to have him on board.
00:14:57.13\00:14:58.69
Amen.
00:14:58.73\00:15:00.06
And so you guys gonna be...
00:15:00.10\00:15:01.43
We're gonna talk about
that how you're going to expand
00:15:01.46\00:15:02.80
the music channel
00:15:02.83\00:15:04.17
and how you're gonna make
that programming available.
00:15:04.20\00:15:05.63
And even give other people
opportunities to be featured.
00:15:05.67\00:15:10.51
Oh, yeah.
00:15:10.54\00:15:11.87
I like to call it music ministry
00:15:11.91\00:15:13.24
because there are
so many musicians,
00:15:13.27\00:15:15.11
but when that person
is led by the Holy Spirit,
00:15:15.14\00:15:17.98
it's a ministry.
00:15:18.01\00:15:20.35
But before we go any further
00:15:20.38\00:15:21.72
we have some
music tonight, Honey.
00:15:21.75\00:15:23.35
And tell our viewers and
our listeners who we have.
00:15:23.39\00:15:27.49
Scott Michael Bennett,
he's gonna share with us
00:15:27.52\00:15:30.33
"Go Light Your World."
00:15:30.36\00:15:31.83
There is a candle
00:15:39.27\00:15:43.24
In every soul
00:15:43.27\00:15:47.08
Some brightly burning
00:15:47.11\00:15:50.88
Some dark and cold
00:15:50.91\00:15:54.78
There is a Spirit
00:15:54.82\00:15:58.72
Who brings the fire
00:15:58.75\00:16:03.02
Ignites the candle
00:16:03.06\00:16:06.80
and makes His home
00:16:06.83\00:16:10.63
Carry your candle
00:16:10.67\00:16:14.60
run to the darkness
00:16:14.64\00:16:18.41
Seek out the hopeless
00:16:18.44\00:16:22.48
Confused and torn
00:16:22.51\00:16:26.41
And hold out your candle
00:16:26.45\00:16:30.35
For all to see it
00:16:30.39\00:16:33.52
Oh, take your candle
00:16:33.56\00:16:37.86
And go light your world
00:16:37.89\00:16:42.20
Take your candle
00:16:42.23\00:16:45.77
And go light your world
00:16:45.80\00:16:48.40
Frustrated brother
00:16:53.88\00:16:57.71
See how he's tried to
00:16:57.75\00:17:01.75
Light his own candle
00:17:01.78\00:17:05.52
Some other way
00:17:05.55\00:17:09.22
See now your sister
00:17:09.26\00:17:12.89
She's been robbed and lied to
00:17:12.93\00:17:16.90
She still holds a candle
00:17:16.93\00:17:21.10
Without a flame
00:17:21.14\00:17:24.74
So carry your candle
00:17:24.77\00:17:28.91
Run to the darkness
00:17:28.94\00:17:32.61
Seek out the lonely
00:17:32.65\00:17:36.58
The tired and worn
00:17:36.62\00:17:40.52
Hold out your candle
00:17:40.56\00:17:44.26
for all to see it
00:17:44.29\00:17:48.06
Take your candle
00:17:48.10\00:17:51.87
And go light your world
00:17:51.90\00:17:55.70
Take your candle
00:17:55.74\00:17:59.21
And go light your world
00:17:59.24\00:18:01.91
We are a family
00:18:06.98\00:18:11.15
Whose hearts are blazing
00:18:11.19\00:18:14.52
So let's raise our candles
00:18:14.56\00:18:18.59
And light up the sky
00:18:18.63\00:18:22.36
Praying to our Father
00:18:22.40\00:18:26.43
In the name of Jesus
00:18:26.47\00:18:30.44
Make us a beacon
00:18:30.47\00:18:34.38
In the darkest night
00:18:34.41\00:18:38.41
Carry your candle
00:18:38.45\00:18:42.22
Run to the darkness
00:18:42.25\00:18:45.89
Seek out the hopeless
00:18:45.92\00:18:49.96
Deceived and poor
00:18:49.99\00:18:53.73
Hold out your candle
00:18:53.76\00:18:57.63
For all to see it
00:18:57.67\00:19:01.84
Take your candle
00:19:01.87\00:19:05.34
Go light your world
00:19:05.37\00:19:09.14
Take your candle
00:19:09.18\00:19:13.11
Go light your world
00:19:13.15\00:19:18.95
Take your candle
00:19:18.99\00:19:22.82
Go light your world
00:19:22.86\00:19:26.83
Go light your world
00:19:30.90\00:19:34.27
Go light your world
00:19:38.87\00:19:44.01
That is exactly
what 3ABN wants to do,
00:19:48.78\00:19:51.19
light the world with
three angels' messages.
00:19:51.22\00:19:54.92
Wait, let me repeat that,
00:19:54.96\00:19:56.29
with the undiluted
three angels' messages.
00:19:56.32\00:19:59.03
One that will
counteract the counterfeit.
00:19:59.06\00:20:01.56
Amen.
00:20:01.60\00:20:02.93
And praise God for the last
34, going on 35 years, Honey.
00:20:02.96\00:20:05.80
Thirty-five That long?
00:20:05.83\00:20:07.37
This year, 35?
Yeah, that's amazing.
00:20:07.40\00:20:09.20
Thirty-five years
3ABN has been trekking on
00:20:09.24\00:20:12.04
under the blessings of God
00:20:12.07\00:20:13.41
and we have been
privileged to be a part of it.
00:20:13.44\00:20:15.51
But not only us,
it's your ministry.
00:20:15.54\00:20:17.55
Yeah.
00:20:17.58\00:20:18.91
Those of you who are watching
this program and listening,
00:20:18.95\00:20:20.95
this ministry could
not do what it's doing
00:20:20.98\00:20:24.19
without your financial support.
00:20:24.22\00:20:25.85
And your prayers.
00:20:25.89\00:20:27.22
That's right.
00:20:27.26\00:20:28.59
How important is prayer, Honey?
00:20:28.62\00:20:29.96
So important.
00:20:29.99\00:20:31.33
This ministry wouldn't be
00:20:31.36\00:20:32.69
where it is
today without prayer.
00:20:32.73\00:20:34.06
That's right. That's right.
00:20:34.10\00:20:35.43
Yeah, and so I'm
just grateful to be here.
00:20:35.46\00:20:37.50
And, you know, I feel like
00:20:37.53\00:20:39.17
I'm in my living
room or in my dining room.
00:20:39.20\00:20:42.17
We just need a meal, right?
00:20:42.20\00:20:43.94
That would be wonderful on it.
00:20:43.97\00:20:46.34
Since she's such a
great cooker, too, right?
00:20:46.37\00:20:48.78
Oh, no. Goes on
with the most of us.
00:20:48.81\00:20:50.25
We'd be happy like
we're among family, right?
00:20:50.28\00:20:52.21
Yeah. And which we are.
00:20:52.25\00:20:53.58
That's right.
00:20:53.62\00:20:54.95
People we know every day
and our Pastor CA used to say,
00:20:54.98\00:20:57.72
people ask us if we
really love each other.
00:20:57.75\00:20:59.29
We really, really we do. We do.
00:20:59.32\00:21:00.82
Because we have been through
sunny days and rainy days,
00:21:00.86\00:21:04.33
we have been...
00:21:04.36\00:21:05.69
Danny, we could
recall those days
00:21:05.73\00:21:07.06
when we gather around in
the office and pray for God
00:21:07.10\00:21:09.40
to open up the heavens
00:21:09.43\00:21:10.83
because the devil had
come down having great wrath.
00:21:10.87\00:21:13.37
Sure. Yeah.
00:21:13.40\00:21:14.74
But here we are
on the other side
00:21:14.77\00:21:16.10
of those storms,
praising God for it.
00:21:16.14\00:21:17.47
All these years later,
still praising the Lord.
00:21:17.51\00:21:19.31
Amen. That's right.
00:21:19.34\00:21:20.68
Yeah.
00:21:20.71\00:21:22.04
And then the
vision, 3ABN has had vision,
00:21:22.08\00:21:24.38
because I've noticed that
00:21:24.41\00:21:25.75
at some of the
most difficult times
00:21:25.78\00:21:27.52
another ministry was born.
00:21:27.55\00:21:29.98
And a lot of ministries
will say, well, not right now
00:21:30.02\00:21:33.05
because Latino was born
out when finances were low.
00:21:33.09\00:21:35.79
Yeah.
00:21:35.82\00:21:37.16
There was not a
whole lot of finances
00:21:37.19\00:21:38.53
when Dare to Dream was
born, but look at it today.
00:21:38.56\00:21:40.53
And radio. And our radio.
00:21:40.56\00:21:41.90
That's right.
00:21:41.93\00:21:43.26
Speaking of radio,
radio has had some change.
00:21:43.30\00:21:44.87
We'll look at
that in a little bit.
00:21:44.90\00:21:46.23
We'll look at that in
the second half about radio
00:21:46.27\00:21:49.37
when my boss is here, right?
00:21:49.40\00:21:51.14
Jay Christian. All right.
00:21:51.17\00:21:52.51
Yeah. He'll be here.
00:21:52.54\00:21:53.88
We'll talk more
about radio then.
00:21:53.91\00:21:55.24
Okay, all right.
It sounds good to me.
00:21:55.28\00:21:57.38
And even if he's not here,
00:21:57.41\00:21:58.75
you're
representative of 3ABN Radio.
00:21:58.78\00:22:00.58
Sure. That's right.
00:22:00.62\00:22:01.95
And I'm excited
that you're there.
00:22:01.98\00:22:03.69
But let's talk about
our upcoming camp meeting.
00:22:03.72\00:22:06.59
Camp meeting is
high points of 3ABN.
00:22:06.62\00:22:10.46
We have camp
meeting twice a year,
00:22:10.49\00:22:12.39
Spring camp
meeting is the largest one
00:22:12.43\00:22:14.56
and the fall camp
meeting is like a homecoming.
00:22:14.60\00:22:17.30
We're more centered
on what's happening here
00:22:17.33\00:22:19.80
and it's not as large as spring
00:22:19.83\00:22:21.67
because the
weather is not as good.
00:22:21.70\00:22:23.54
Some years we're blessed,
00:22:23.57\00:22:24.91
but this year, June 5 to June 8,
00:22:24.94\00:22:27.91
we're gonna be having.
00:22:27.94\00:22:29.28
What's the topic
this year, Honey?
00:22:29.31\00:22:30.65
Ten Commandments.
00:22:30.68\00:22:32.01
Well, and how many are there?
00:22:32.05\00:22:33.38
Ten.
00:22:33.42\00:22:35.95
Why would you laugh?
00:22:35.98\00:22:37.32
But that's really...
00:22:37.35\00:22:39.52
A lot of people don't know.
00:22:39.55\00:22:41.32
Really that's a deep question.
00:22:41.36\00:22:43.16
That's right.
00:22:43.19\00:22:44.53
So it was a pun, but it's true.
00:22:44.56\00:22:47.13
Not many people know that
there are Ten Commandments.
00:22:47.16\00:22:48.96
Yeah.
00:22:49.00\00:22:50.33
And on that note,
that's why you wrote
00:22:50.37\00:22:51.93
this book called
Ten Commandments, what?
00:22:51.97\00:22:53.74
Twice Removed.
00:22:53.77\00:22:55.10
And I remember the first one,
00:22:55.14\00:22:57.01
the first title
was a little different.
00:22:57.04\00:22:58.61
It was the Antichrist Agenda.
00:22:58.64\00:23:00.04
Antichrist Agenda. Oh, yeah.
00:23:00.08\00:23:01.48
And I wrote that
and then the publishers,
00:23:01.51\00:23:04.81
it was about 200
pages, Shelley Quinn and I,
00:23:04.85\00:23:07.55
then the publisher said,
00:23:07.58\00:23:08.98
"We think we can
get it into Walmart
00:23:09.02\00:23:10.49
and some of the other stores
00:23:10.52\00:23:12.22
if we can edit it
down to 128 pages."
00:23:12.25\00:23:15.32
They like 128 or less,
00:23:15.36\00:23:17.23
so we did that and named it
00:23:17.26\00:23:20.03
"Ten
Commandments Twice Removed."
00:23:20.06\00:23:22.00
People say, why do you say that?
00:23:22.03\00:23:23.50
It was really very
simple, wasn't a brain,
00:23:23.53\00:23:26.23
any kind of big brainstorm
other than I was watching
00:23:26.27\00:23:29.87
Judge Roy Moore, you remember
00:23:29.90\00:23:31.71
when he was in all
the hot water in Alabama
00:23:31.74\00:23:34.34
and so they said,
00:23:34.38\00:23:35.71
"Look, you got to take
down the Ten Commandments
00:23:35.74\00:23:37.65
from the state houses."
00:23:37.68\00:23:39.01
You got to take, you
know, with total separation,
00:23:39.05\00:23:42.35
we believe in
separation of church and state.
00:23:42.38\00:23:44.49
But sometimes
government can overdo also,
00:23:44.52\00:23:46.69
but we were watching.
00:23:46.72\00:23:48.26
But what surprised me the most
00:23:48.29\00:23:50.59
in all of this
was when that got,
00:23:50.63\00:23:53.93
you know, on the
news media around America,
00:23:53.96\00:23:58.07
people got so
angry, they got so upset
00:23:58.10\00:24:00.70
that in yards
all across America,
00:24:00.74\00:24:02.60
including right here,
Thompsonville, West Frankfort,
00:24:02.64\00:24:05.67
Southern Illinois,
00:24:05.71\00:24:07.04
I would go by and see it,
00:24:07.08\00:24:08.41
nearly every other
yard at least had signed,
00:24:08.44\00:24:10.95
it says the Ten Commandments,
the Ten Commandments.
00:24:10.98\00:24:13.85
You know, the churches,
their pastors were centering in
00:24:13.88\00:24:16.62
and said, "This is terrible."
00:24:16.65\00:24:18.02
The government's trying
to take the Ten Commandments
00:24:18.05\00:24:20.36
out of the state houses.
00:24:20.39\00:24:23.63
And, you know, we
believe in the Ten Commandments
00:24:23.66\00:24:26.39
and so everybody was
for in and hit me, I said,
00:24:26.43\00:24:29.56
that's very interesting
00:24:29.60\00:24:30.93
because the very
people who are upset
00:24:30.97\00:24:33.44
that the government's
taking the Ten Commandments out
00:24:33.47\00:24:36.64
have already taken them out.
00:24:36.67\00:24:38.51
Because they say
they're done away with,
00:24:38.54\00:24:40.08
they were nailed to the cross,
00:24:40.11\00:24:41.84
so how can you be so upset
00:24:41.88\00:24:43.75
at the
government for removing them
00:24:43.78\00:24:45.41
when many churches
have done it already.
00:24:45.45\00:24:46.78
That's right.
00:24:46.82\00:24:48.15
Oh, well, they're
just in our heart,
00:24:48.18\00:24:49.52
or well, we really don't
have to keep all of them,
00:24:49.55\00:24:51.39
we can just keep nine or eight,
00:24:51.42\00:24:53.46
depending on your
positions on abortion.
00:24:53.49\00:24:55.86
And, you know, now it
keeps going on to depending
00:24:55.89\00:24:59.23
on your position on
the seventh commandment.
00:24:59.26\00:25:02.23
That's right.
00:25:02.26\00:25:03.60
You know, gay
marriage and all of that,
00:25:03.63\00:25:05.30
but people were so upset.
00:25:05.33\00:25:07.27
So I said, "Well,
that's interesting."
00:25:07.30\00:25:08.90
I think we should write,
00:25:08.94\00:25:10.27
you know, this book
that we should write it.
00:25:10.31\00:25:12.71
It started out
Antichrist Agenda,
00:25:12.74\00:25:14.31
but the idea Ten
Commandments Twice Removed is,
00:25:14.34\00:25:17.48
I wanted to get
the attention of people
00:25:17.51\00:25:19.75
that, hey, you know,
00:25:19.78\00:25:21.55
before we're
upset at the government,
00:25:21.58\00:25:23.52
we should really
look at our own churches.
00:25:23.55\00:25:24.89
That's right.
00:25:24.92\00:25:26.25
And our, you know,
denominations everywhere
00:25:26.29\00:25:28.76
and find out, we took
the Ten Commandments out
00:25:28.79\00:25:30.96
before they did.
00:25:30.99\00:25:32.33
And so thank the Lord,
there's been now in print
00:25:32.36\00:25:38.70
either 12 or 13 million
00:25:38.73\00:25:41.27
of these books
have been sent around.
00:25:41.30\00:25:43.67
Now, that's in the English,
00:25:43.71\00:25:46.54
but there are
numerous countries.
00:25:46.57\00:25:48.34
I don't know, the
publisher can tell you.
00:25:48.38\00:25:50.45
I don't know if it's 10 or
20 countries that have this book
00:25:50.48\00:25:54.48
and they translated them.
00:25:54.52\00:25:56.79
So we have no idea
because we just tell people,
00:25:56.82\00:26:00.46
if they want to print
them and get them out there,
00:26:00.49\00:26:03.06
go ahead and do them.
00:26:03.09\00:26:04.43
But we know there
are many, many countries.
00:26:04.46\00:26:05.79
That's right.
00:26:05.83\00:26:07.16
So as a result, we've seen
00:26:07.20\00:26:08.53
tremendous
results over the years.
00:26:08.56\00:26:10.57
And we actually wrote
it back in about 2005.
00:26:10.60\00:26:14.14
And so for a couple of years,
and the first couple of years,
00:26:14.17\00:26:16.91
over 10 million
of those were moved.
00:26:16.94\00:26:19.11
And we appreciate the people
because we have people at home
00:26:19.14\00:26:22.98
that would say, we want to help,
00:26:23.01\00:26:25.81
we can't go out
and give the books.
00:26:25.85\00:26:27.38
Our idea was, you
know, this book is important,
00:26:27.42\00:26:30.09
so we don't want to
put the publishers say
00:26:30.12\00:26:32.92
and you look at
Amazon or look at bookstores.
00:26:32.95\00:26:35.66
Well that size book
should cost probably
00:26:35.69\00:26:38.19
$995 at least retail or you...
00:26:38.23\00:26:41.33
How do you get people
00:26:41.36\00:26:42.70
and why would they want to buy
a book they know nothing about?
00:26:42.73\00:26:44.30
That's right.
00:26:44.33\00:26:45.67
And what you're doing,
00:26:45.70\00:26:47.04
there's a lot of books out there
00:26:47.07\00:26:48.40
and so I think I'll pay
$995, you're not gonna do it.
00:26:48.44\00:26:50.77
The wholesale price
might be $250 or whatever.
00:26:50.81\00:26:53.88
But why would people do
that? So I said we need a way.
00:26:53.91\00:26:56.81
Lord, help us
to figure out a way
00:26:56.85\00:26:58.21
to get these out
evangelistically.
00:26:58.25\00:27:00.38
So what happens is
people will sponsor the books.
00:27:00.42\00:27:02.88
That's right.
00:27:02.92\00:27:04.25
So the most recent
was back in November 6
00:27:04.29\00:27:08.02
when the election came
back to Alabama again and...
00:27:08.06\00:27:12.79
So when this
gentleman for what, 17 years
00:27:12.83\00:27:15.76
has been trying to
get the State of Alabama
00:27:15.80\00:27:19.83
to get them back into
the state houses again,
00:27:19.87\00:27:22.87
and so they voted on it.
00:27:22.90\00:27:24.97
But before they did,
00:27:25.01\00:27:27.18
the viewers helped
us and sent the money,
00:27:27.21\00:27:30.31
so we could send
half a million books
00:27:30.35\00:27:32.48
throughout all
Alabama to zip codes.
00:27:32.51\00:27:35.32
And so people now know
what they're reading about
00:27:35.35\00:27:38.15
since the Ten
Commandments were in question.
00:27:38.19\00:27:40.79
We told people, we're
not telling you to vote,
00:27:40.82\00:27:42.86
yes or no on the
Ten Commandments,
00:27:42.89\00:27:44.76
that's up to you and the
Lord, however you want to do it.
00:27:44.79\00:27:47.30
All we want to
know is for people
00:27:47.33\00:27:49.00
we sense so much
attention is there.
00:27:49.03\00:27:51.37
People are
interested in Ten Commandments
00:27:51.40\00:27:53.57
because it affects them.
00:27:53.60\00:27:54.94
And we've seen some
tremendous results already.
00:27:54.97\00:27:57.44
I have some letters from people
that are on Facebook and emails
00:27:57.47\00:28:02.14
that have contacted me,
00:28:02.18\00:28:03.51
some have
contacted the publisher,
00:28:03.55\00:28:05.35
and he sent it to me.
00:28:05.38\00:28:06.72
There have been some incredible,
00:28:06.75\00:28:08.28
you know, testimonies of people.
00:28:08.32\00:28:09.72
One lady in particular,
00:28:09.75\00:28:11.25
this is what I've been
looking for all my life.
00:28:11.29\00:28:13.62
I believe this,
but no one supports me
00:28:13.66\00:28:15.86
and I can't get anyone to do it.
00:28:15.89\00:28:17.73
But, you know, my...
00:28:17.76\00:28:19.23
Basically pastors,
family, husband nobody,
00:28:19.26\00:28:22.06
but I know it's
truth and I've tried,
00:28:22.10\00:28:24.17
but this is now
understand it all
00:28:24.20\00:28:26.84
and I'm taking a stand.
00:28:26.87\00:28:28.20
And then last week, I
got a letter that said,
00:28:28.24\00:28:31.24
"I'm going to Sabbath Church
00:28:31.27\00:28:32.91
now for the
first time in my life."
00:28:32.94\00:28:34.98
You know, and so
we're seeing results of this
00:28:35.01\00:28:37.81
and we actually
over the years have seen.
00:28:37.85\00:28:40.65
Now we know God has
people in all churches.
00:28:40.68\00:28:42.02
That's right.
00:28:42.05\00:28:43.39
But God has always had
people to give present truth.
00:28:43.42\00:28:46.79
And so present truth
is an end time message
00:28:46.82\00:28:50.56
which is a
three angels' messages
00:28:50.59\00:28:52.16
for the viewers at home.
00:28:52.19\00:28:53.53
Look up Revelation Chapter 14,
00:28:53.56\00:28:55.60
an end times message
for an end times people.
00:28:55.63\00:28:58.20
So if I think I'm
living in the last days,
00:28:58.23\00:29:01.54
okay that's end times.
00:29:01.57\00:29:02.90
And if the message of
the three angels' is for us,
00:29:02.94\00:29:05.94
I should
understand what they are,
00:29:05.97\00:29:07.31
I need to study
that a little bit.
00:29:07.34\00:29:08.68
Right.
00:29:08.71\00:29:10.05
So I want to study the
three angels' messages,
00:29:10.08\00:29:11.41
in the end that we
find the law of God.
00:29:11.45\00:29:14.22
The law of God's not
been nailed to the cross.
00:29:14.25\00:29:16.75
Revelation is
revealing of Jesus Christ
00:29:16.79\00:29:19.05
so why be scared of the book.
00:29:19.09\00:29:20.56
People say, "Oh, we don't."
00:29:20.59\00:29:22.02
That's Daniel and Revelation.
00:29:22.06\00:29:23.83
Well, who doesn't
want to know about Jesus
00:29:23.86\00:29:25.79
if you're a Christian?
00:29:25.83\00:29:27.16
So Revelation says,
00:29:27.20\00:29:28.53
"This is a
revealing of Jesus Christ."
00:29:28.56\00:29:30.40
We find that He is love,
and we find that God's law
00:29:30.43\00:29:33.54
is a transcript
of His own character.
00:29:33.57\00:29:36.14
Yes. So that's who God is.
00:29:36.17\00:29:37.54
So you can't divide that up
and be like cutting my arm off,
00:29:37.57\00:29:41.04
or your arm off and say,
well, this is no, God is love.
00:29:41.08\00:29:45.28
But that same
God, God has a law.
00:29:45.31\00:29:47.98
In His law there is a
transcript of who He is,
00:29:48.02\00:29:51.22
so instead of Ten Commandments,
people hate things now,
00:29:51.25\00:29:54.92
nobody likes to
be told what to do,
00:29:54.96\00:29:56.46
especially younger generation.
00:29:56.49\00:29:57.83
Oh, yeah.
00:29:57.86\00:29:59.19
Okay, Tim, I command
you to do such and such.
00:29:59.23\00:30:00.93
Your first instinct is what?
00:30:00.96\00:30:02.73
Well, you don't have to
tell me what you say but...
00:30:02.76\00:30:05.47
Not a mind reader,
but got an idea, right?
00:30:05.50\00:30:07.34
Yeah.
00:30:07.37\00:30:08.70
Angie, I command you to do.
00:30:08.74\00:30:10.07
Well, that's what
people, they'll say.
00:30:10.11\00:30:12.01
Oh, those old Ten Commandments.
00:30:12.04\00:30:14.28
But we say they're
not Ten Commandments,
00:30:14.31\00:30:15.91
that's the way it says it.
00:30:15.94\00:30:17.68
Why don't we look at it in
way I looked at it years ago?
00:30:17.71\00:30:20.82
It finally hit me
they're ten promises.
00:30:20.85\00:30:22.55
Amen. That's right.
00:30:22.58\00:30:23.92
God promises you
that if you love Me,
00:30:23.95\00:30:26.29
and if you serve Me,
00:30:26.32\00:30:27.69
you will not wanna have
any other gods before Me.
00:30:27.72\00:30:30.89
You will not
take My name in vain.
00:30:30.93\00:30:33.70
You know, you can go on down
each and every one of these,
00:30:33.73\00:30:36.80
the...
00:30:36.83\00:30:38.17
You know, I'm the
Lord, I'm the Lord your God,
00:30:38.20\00:30:40.07
I'm the one who
brought you out of bondage.
00:30:40.10\00:30:42.40
You know, out of
Egypt, and I'm the one,
00:30:42.44\00:30:44.21
so God is
promising, if you love Me,
00:30:44.24\00:30:47.98
if you keep My commandments,
if you remember my Sabbath day,
00:30:48.01\00:30:51.81
which is one of those
commandments to keep it holy,
00:30:51.85\00:30:54.38
six days you shalt
labor and do all your work,
00:30:54.42\00:30:56.85
but He says, the
seventh day is the Sabbath
00:30:56.89\00:30:58.72
of the Lord your God.
00:30:58.75\00:31:00.09
For entity He did what?
00:31:00.12\00:31:01.46
He created the
heavens and the earth.
00:31:01.49\00:31:03.16
So what we find out in
these Ten Commandments.
00:31:03.19\00:31:05.66
We find out who God
is, find out all about Him.
00:31:05.69\00:31:09.16
You know, He's a
creator, God of the universe,
00:31:09.20\00:31:11.73
and His domain is
the whole universe.
00:31:11.77\00:31:14.00
So here it is.
00:31:14.04\00:31:15.37
Then He says, "If you love Me,
if you commit your life to Me,
00:31:15.40\00:31:19.07
I promise you won't want
to have an affair on your wife
00:31:19.11\00:31:21.38
or your
husband, I will help you,
00:31:21.41\00:31:22.91
I'll give you victory
over these things in your life.
00:31:22.94\00:31:26.31
I'll give you
victory over stealing.
00:31:26.35\00:31:28.68
I'll give you
victory over killing.
00:31:28.72\00:31:30.55
I'll give you
victory over lying.
00:31:30.59\00:31:32.15
I'll give you
victory over gossiping.
00:31:32.19\00:31:34.29
I promise you, I'm gonna
give you all these things."
00:31:34.32\00:31:36.46
That's right.
00:31:36.49\00:31:37.83
So what do you think the
devil would want to get rid of?
00:31:37.86\00:31:40.13
The Ten Commandments.
00:31:40.16\00:31:41.63
Because the Ten Commandments
00:31:41.66\00:31:43.33
points us to the
Creator or God of the universe.
00:31:43.37\00:31:46.97
So that's why this
book, we put this book out
00:31:47.00\00:31:49.67
and so we wanna
thank those of you
00:31:49.70\00:31:52.01
who helped sponsor the book.
00:31:52.04\00:31:53.68
So then we sent
out a half a million,
00:31:53.71\00:31:55.94
and since then,
probably 200,000 or 300,000 more
00:31:55.98\00:31:59.75
to churches to
people who want them.
00:31:59.78\00:32:01.52
So what we've said is,
if you want these books,
00:32:01.55\00:32:04.59
and you're
willing to give them away,
00:32:04.62\00:32:06.72
we don't want them
setting in the garages,
00:32:06.76\00:32:09.36
but people have been donating,
00:32:09.39\00:32:10.73
and if you want
them in your church
00:32:10.76\00:32:12.19
and you want
500 or even a 1,000,
00:32:12.23\00:32:14.76
all you have to do is
just pay the shipping.
00:32:14.80\00:32:16.80
The flat rate is 22
cents, John per book.
00:32:16.83\00:32:19.87
If you buy a
case of 100, it's $22.
00:32:19.90\00:32:22.37
And by the way, that's
not the cost of the book,
00:32:22.40\00:32:24.21
that's just the
cost of the shipping.
00:32:24.24\00:32:25.57
That's the cost of
shipping of the books.
00:32:25.61\00:32:27.84
You're getting the
books absolutely free
00:32:27.88\00:32:29.74
because some of you who said
00:32:29.78\00:32:31.78
I can't go out
and pass out books.
00:32:31.81\00:32:33.82
I'm not physically able,
00:32:33.85\00:32:35.18
but I can send $100
to buy x amount of books,
00:32:35.22\00:32:38.92
and I can send $1,000
00:32:38.95\00:32:41.42
or I can send,
some have done more,
00:32:41.46\00:32:43.36
some have said here's $10.
00:32:43.39\00:32:45.19
But isn't it
interesting how we work together
00:32:45.23\00:32:48.16
that some folk who can't
go out and pass them out,
00:32:48.20\00:32:51.83
they give the money,
00:32:51.87\00:32:53.20
so that the others
who've got the legs and arms,
00:32:53.23\00:32:55.67
and the strength
to do it to go out
00:32:55.70\00:32:57.44
and pass these books out.
00:32:57.47\00:32:58.81
But we have seen literally
in the last several years
00:32:58.84\00:33:02.38
over and I started
to say this while ago,
00:33:02.41\00:33:04.65
I'm getting back to this now.
00:33:04.68\00:33:06.72
But over 40 pastors
of other denominations,
00:33:06.75\00:33:11.12
were not Seventh-day Adventists,
00:33:11.15\00:33:12.69
not individuals, we've
seen thousands of individuals,
00:33:12.72\00:33:15.62
but over 40 pastors who
said after reading the book,
00:33:15.66\00:33:19.89
you know what?
00:33:19.93\00:33:21.26
We've been
keeping the wrong day,
00:33:21.30\00:33:22.63
we need to convert,
00:33:22.66\00:33:24.00
we have to keep all
of God's Commandments,
00:33:24.03\00:33:26.07
not just nine.
00:33:26.10\00:33:27.44
It's not a smorgasbord,
00:33:27.47\00:33:28.80
pick and choose which salad
we want and which one we want.
00:33:28.84\00:33:31.97
It's there's ten.
00:33:32.01\00:33:33.34
As you ask Angie,
00:33:33.38\00:33:34.71
that's why I said
that's pretty deep.
00:33:34.74\00:33:36.08
It sounds easy, but,
y'all, there's Ten Commandments.
00:33:36.11\00:33:38.51
And so what happens is now
00:33:38.55\00:33:41.82
with God's blessings
people are joining together.
00:33:41.85\00:33:46.02
So we got
everybody joining together
00:33:46.05\00:33:47.96
and these books are getting out.
00:33:47.99\00:33:49.72
And we've seen
over 40 Sunday pastors
00:33:49.76\00:33:52.03
who've actually said,
we wanna join the church,
00:33:52.06\00:33:55.53
or we wanna convert to.
00:33:55.56\00:33:57.17
And some of those
we've had up here,
00:33:57.20\00:33:59.93
Reggie Witten is one
of them and a great guy.
00:33:59.97\00:34:03.14
He is PhD, he's gonna
be here at camp meeting
00:34:03.17\00:34:05.37
talking about the
change in his life.
00:34:05.41\00:34:07.94
And what he said
was so interesting.
00:34:07.98\00:34:10.08
He said one of my members...
00:34:10.11\00:34:11.58
He has a good sized
church school in Huntsville.
00:34:11.61\00:34:14.25
One of my members
handed, left the book
00:34:14.28\00:34:17.29
and want me to read it.
00:34:17.32\00:34:18.65
Well, I have several
Adventist students there,
00:34:18.69\00:34:20.39
but so I took it and I read it.
00:34:20.42\00:34:23.56
Then I read it again.
00:34:23.59\00:34:25.23
He set them, little
bit week or two later,
00:34:25.26\00:34:27.40
however I read it
for the third time.
00:34:27.43\00:34:29.40
Wow!
00:34:29.43\00:34:30.77
And then he said, I waited
a little bit and I read it,
00:34:30.80\00:34:32.73
now, he has a PhD,
right, in theology?
00:34:32.77\00:34:35.94
Geology.
00:34:35.97\00:34:37.31
And so he says, so I
read it the fourth time,
00:34:37.34\00:34:40.14
so finally, I took it to my wife
00:34:40.18\00:34:42.91
and I said, "Honey, I
want you to read this book.
00:34:42.94\00:34:45.21
I want you to...
00:34:45.25\00:34:46.58
They've been
pastors for years and years.
00:34:46.61\00:34:48.75
"I want you to read this
book, tell me what you think."
00:34:48.78\00:34:51.05
He said, "She took it."
00:34:51.09\00:34:52.42
She read it, two
hour read or whatever.
00:34:52.45\00:34:54.79
Two or three hour read.
00:34:54.82\00:34:56.16
She said, "So
what's your question?"
00:34:56.19\00:34:59.66
What's... He said,
"Well, what do you think."
00:34:59.69\00:35:01.93
She said, "It was very simple,
00:35:01.96\00:35:03.50
we need to switch
our day of worship,
00:35:03.53\00:35:06.74
we need to worship God.
00:35:06.77\00:35:08.27
So he said, "I
read it one more time."
00:35:08.30\00:35:10.74
So he read it five times.
00:35:10.77\00:35:12.57
But he said, "My
wife was smart enough
00:35:12.61\00:35:14.21
to catch it the first time."
00:35:14.24\00:35:15.94
And so, but we have
those kind of testimonies
00:35:15.98\00:35:18.95
over, and over, and over.
00:35:18.98\00:35:20.32
These are actually
pastors of other denominations
00:35:20.35\00:35:23.52
whose whole churches had,
one from in Illinois came down,
00:35:23.55\00:35:27.16
this whole church converted,
00:35:27.19\00:35:28.52
they said, "We all
want to be a part of this."
00:35:28.56\00:35:31.46
And I'm amazed and
I've seen it over the years.
00:35:31.49\00:35:33.63
And so we don't
take credit, John,
00:35:33.66\00:35:36.87
for the book, Shelley and I.
00:35:36.90\00:35:38.43
We're just trying
to put out God's Word
00:35:38.47\00:35:40.40
and trying to put it in a
way that people can understand
00:35:40.44\00:35:43.64
what is there.
00:35:43.67\00:35:45.01
So we're offering those tonight,
00:35:45.04\00:35:46.37
we still have just two,
maybe 250,000 or so left.
00:35:46.41\00:35:50.21
That may sound like a
lot, but they can be gone
00:35:50.25\00:35:52.28
in a matter of church's program.
00:35:52.31\00:35:53.65
Oh, yeah.
00:35:53.68\00:35:55.02
So if you want 1,000, or 2,000,
00:35:55.05\00:35:56.48
we had 50,000 sent
over to Trinidad and Tobago
00:35:56.52\00:36:00.16
on stuff and they
pass them all out too.
00:36:00.19\00:36:02.89
Sometimes they'll do
10,000, other countries 20,000,
00:36:02.92\00:36:06.49
and so we make
sure always say is this,
00:36:06.53\00:36:09.26
look, you pay the shipping,
00:36:09.30\00:36:10.63
but make sure the books get out.
00:36:10.67\00:36:12.00
Yeah.
00:36:12.03\00:36:13.37
And we've seen thousands of
people walking into churches
00:36:13.40\00:36:15.50
and writing us over the
years, telling us thank you
00:36:15.54\00:36:19.97
for helping me
understand God's law
00:36:20.01\00:36:22.21
and the importance of God's law.
00:36:22.24\00:36:23.58
So we're excited about it,
00:36:23.61\00:36:25.21
because we see the
results in our camp meeting.
00:36:25.25\00:36:27.68
That's why we
said, you know what?
00:36:27.72\00:36:29.05
There's so much interest again
00:36:29.08\00:36:30.92
then this that we need to focus
back to the Ten Commandments.
00:36:30.95\00:36:34.09
Because now
within our own church,
00:36:34.12\00:36:36.49
you know, you have
all these things coming up
00:36:36.52\00:36:38.89
that we have to deal with too.
00:36:38.93\00:36:40.33
We look at the
rest of world and say,
00:36:40.36\00:36:42.16
well, we got the Sabbath,
00:36:42.20\00:36:43.53
but as an
Adventist, where do we stand?
00:36:43.57\00:36:45.67
Adventist Christians,
where do we stand on abortion?
00:36:45.70\00:36:48.17
Where do we
stand on gay marriage?
00:36:48.20\00:36:50.34
Where do we stand?
00:36:50.37\00:36:51.71
There's a number of things,
00:36:51.74\00:36:53.07
so we all really need
to look at the law of God
00:36:53.11\00:36:55.21
one more time and say,
00:36:55.24\00:36:56.58
"Lord, what would
You have us to do?"
00:36:56.61\00:36:57.95
Amen. Yvonne.
00:36:57.98\00:36:59.31
One of the things that's
so exciting about the book
00:36:59.35\00:37:01.65
is well is the opportunity
00:37:01.68\00:37:03.75
that it gives for
people to witness.
00:37:03.79\00:37:05.72
Yes.
00:37:05.75\00:37:07.09
Like, there's a
group in New York
00:37:07.12\00:37:08.76
that gave out over 5,000
00:37:08.79\00:37:11.33
of the Ten
Commandments Twice Removed.
00:37:11.36\00:37:13.23
And they have
stories about what happens,
00:37:13.26\00:37:16.06
you know, it
really builds your faith,
00:37:16.10\00:37:18.13
your witness is strengthened,
00:37:18.17\00:37:20.44
your faith is strengthened
as you give out the books
00:37:20.47\00:37:23.91
and you see the results
00:37:23.94\00:37:25.97
that it brings,
so it's really great.
00:37:26.01\00:37:28.14
Pastors need to know
that their churches will grow
00:37:28.18\00:37:30.85
because people will walk
in from having read the book,
00:37:30.88\00:37:34.32
and say, we want to find
the closest Adventist Church.
00:37:34.35\00:37:38.29
I mean, it's just, to
me it's such a win-win.
00:37:38.32\00:37:41.06
Because you give your witnessing
00:37:41.09\00:37:43.49
by giving out the book,
00:37:43.53\00:37:44.99
but you don't know who
that's going to affect or how,
00:37:45.03\00:37:48.76
you don't know whether
they were looking for something
00:37:48.80\00:37:51.53
as that the lady
that sent you that email
00:37:51.57\00:37:54.50
was looking for truth.
00:37:54.54\00:37:56.00
And the Lord had
that in her mailbox,
00:37:56.04\00:37:58.37
the book was in her mailbox.
00:37:58.41\00:37:59.74
Wow!
00:37:59.77\00:38:01.11
I mean, it's
just, you know, to me,
00:38:01.14\00:38:02.48
it's like,
00:38:02.51\00:38:04.05
you can't lose when
you're giving out the Word.
00:38:04.08\00:38:07.35
And you give and
you're sharing with others,
00:38:07.38\00:38:10.15
you can't lose
because you are doing
00:38:10.19\00:38:13.39
what the Lord has
commissioned you to do,
00:38:13.42\00:38:15.49
to go ye into all the world,
00:38:15.52\00:38:17.06
and we are to be
witnesses for Him.
00:38:17.09\00:38:19.43
What better way than
through whether it's print,
00:38:19.46\00:38:22.26
or, again, television
media is also incredible.
00:38:22.30\00:38:25.93
We need to be able
to give this Word out.
00:38:25.97\00:38:29.67
And what a blessing it is.
00:38:29.70\00:38:31.07
Then the book is
not, it's an easy read.
00:38:31.11\00:38:34.04
It's comprehensive,
but it's also an easy read,
00:38:34.08\00:38:37.58
so that, you
know, it makes sense.
00:38:37.61\00:38:40.35
Like you can
link this with this,
00:38:40.38\00:38:42.52
with this, with
this and say, "Oh, wow!
00:38:42.55\00:38:44.99
I never looked at
it like that before."
00:38:45.02\00:38:47.19
We try to give history of,
00:38:47.22\00:38:50.19
you know, combine
history in the Bible together
00:38:50.23\00:38:52.79
and follow through the
dark ages all the way up
00:38:52.83\00:38:55.70
and do it as, you
know, briefly as we can
00:38:55.73\00:38:57.80
but yet explain how
this all works together.
00:38:57.83\00:39:00.70
Yeah.
00:39:00.74\00:39:02.07
You see, I really like that,
00:39:02.10\00:39:03.44
that you gave a
very practical example,
00:39:03.47\00:39:05.84
like you have a
lot of common sense.
00:39:05.87\00:39:07.58
So you gave this
very practical example
00:39:07.61\00:39:10.58
about some time I think
it was when you and Melody
00:39:10.61\00:39:13.31
went to church
and you were singing
00:39:13.35\00:39:15.25
or something like that,
and they took up an offering.
00:39:15.28\00:39:18.05
Do you remember
that story? Oh, yeah.
00:39:18.09\00:39:19.42
Yeah. Just share a
little bit about that?
00:39:19.45\00:39:21.52
That's in the book too.
00:39:21.56\00:39:23.02
Oh, yeah. Okay.
00:39:23.06\00:39:24.76
We went to a church,
00:39:24.79\00:39:26.46
it's a good sized
church over Knoxville.
00:39:26.49\00:39:28.30
I won't tell you what
kind, not an Adventist Church
00:39:28.33\00:39:30.23
but they'd asked us to
come and sing and so we did.
00:39:30.27\00:39:33.57
And this was after 3ABN
00:39:33.60\00:39:35.27
just a little
while we had started.
00:39:35.30\00:39:36.94
So I thought, "Well,
maybe they've seen us on 3ABN."
00:39:36.97\00:39:39.37
Well, when we got there,
some of the members that asked
00:39:39.41\00:39:41.64
but the pastor
wasn't aware of us or 3ABN.
00:39:41.68\00:39:45.25
So we did whole
music Sunday morning.
00:39:45.28\00:39:48.58
You've done those,
Tim, around the Sabbath,
00:39:48.62\00:39:50.42
the Sunday morning, so we
did a little music program.
00:39:50.45\00:39:53.19
And they took up there their
Sunday morning offering tithes
00:39:53.22\00:39:56.12
and offering, and then
they took up an offering
00:39:56.16\00:39:58.79
for us as the singers
00:39:58.83\00:40:01.00
because they said
what do you charge?
00:40:01.03\00:40:02.36
I said, "Oh, just
free will offering."
00:40:02.40\00:40:03.93
Is free will offering okay?
I said, "Sure, that's fine.
00:40:03.97\00:40:06.53
Whatever it is."
00:40:06.57\00:40:07.90
So afterwards, the pastor said,
00:40:07.94\00:40:09.74
why don't you come
with me in the study?
00:40:09.77\00:40:11.94
They're dividing up
the money right now.
00:40:11.97\00:40:13.78
So we, you know,
00:40:13.81\00:40:15.18
what we'll do is
we'll see what it is
00:40:15.21\00:40:17.21
and we'll write you
a check for the amount
00:40:17.25\00:40:19.55
that's set aside for you.
00:40:19.58\00:40:20.92
I said, "Great."
00:40:20.95\00:40:22.28
So we walk in and he
looks at me and he says,
00:40:22.32\00:40:23.75
"I have to ask a question."
00:40:23.79\00:40:25.35
I sit down, he said these words,
00:40:25.39\00:40:28.02
"Somebody told me
00:40:28.06\00:40:29.39
you're one of those old
Seventh-day Adventists."
00:40:29.42\00:40:31.69
And I said, "'Cause I
weren't that old at the time.
00:40:31.73\00:40:35.60
I said, "I'm not that old."
00:40:35.63\00:40:36.97
He said, "No, I mean,
00:40:37.00\00:40:38.33
you're one of those
old law keepers," he said.
00:40:38.37\00:40:41.50
And I said,
"Explain that to me."
00:40:41.54\00:40:44.41
He goes, "Well,
I think you keep,
00:40:44.44\00:40:46.44
you know, all the whole laws."
00:40:46.47\00:40:48.24
I said, "You mean
like the Ten Commandments?"
00:40:48.28\00:40:50.18
"Yeah," he said.
00:40:50.21\00:40:51.61
"You don't believe me, you know,
00:40:51.65\00:40:52.98
they were done
away with, right?"
00:40:53.01\00:40:54.35
I said, "No, I
never thought so."
00:40:54.38\00:40:56.05
I said, "I thought they
were all the Ten Commandments
00:40:56.08\00:40:58.89
were Ten Commandments
and we keep them all."
00:40:58.92\00:41:01.69
"Oh, no," he said,
"You know, I'm surprised."
00:41:01.72\00:41:03.93
He said, Well, you, you're one
of those Seventh-day Adventist.
00:41:03.96\00:41:07.30
I said, "I am".
00:41:07.33\00:41:08.66
I said, "You didn't
know that when you asked me."
00:41:08.70\00:41:10.03
He said, "No, I had no idea."
00:41:10.07\00:41:11.80
And he said that you
were Seventh-day Adventist.
00:41:11.83\00:41:14.04
But he said, "I just
can't believe you go,
00:41:14.07\00:41:16.27
you know,
believe in that old law
00:41:16.30\00:41:17.81
and was nailed to the cross."
00:41:17.84\00:41:19.21
So I've been listening to him,
00:41:19.24\00:41:21.68
but I was also watching
the money counting going on.
00:41:21.71\00:41:24.65
And so the big offering,
of course, that morning
00:41:24.68\00:41:27.38
was for this Sunday
morning tithe and offering,
00:41:27.42\00:41:29.75
the smaller offering,
00:41:29.78\00:41:31.12
of course, was for Melody and I.
00:41:31.15\00:41:33.39
So they literally
had it in these you know,
00:41:33.42\00:41:35.79
the big offering deals.
00:41:35.82\00:41:37.36
So as I saw them
counting over here,
00:41:37.39\00:41:39.13
and several counting here,
00:41:39.16\00:41:41.06
so I went over to
where the big money was.
00:41:41.10\00:41:44.70
And so I started,
00:41:44.73\00:41:46.33
I just grabbed their
several offering plates.
00:41:46.37\00:41:48.74
So I started just stacking,
the guys were sitting there
00:41:48.77\00:41:50.81
and I grabbed about
three or four of them.
00:41:50.84\00:41:53.17
I grabbed them and I
started to put them on here.
00:41:53.21\00:41:55.48
I said, "Well,
pastor, thanks so much."
00:41:55.51\00:41:57.01
I said, "I appreciate
you letting us come here,
00:41:57.05\00:41:58.71
appreciate the offering."
00:41:58.75\00:42:00.08
Oh, yes.
00:42:00.12\00:42:01.45
I said,
"Appreciate you offering us.
00:42:01.48\00:42:02.82
This is great.
Thank you so much."
00:42:02.85\00:42:04.19
And he said, "Well, wait
just minute, Brother Shelton."
00:42:04.22\00:42:05.59
He said.
00:42:05.62\00:42:06.96
"I'm sorry,
00:42:06.99\00:42:08.32
this is our Sunday
morning tithes and offerings.
00:42:08.36\00:42:10.06
You're offering,
they're accounting that,
00:42:10.09\00:42:11.46
and I told you,
"I'd write a check."
00:42:11.49\00:42:13.13
I said, "Yeah, I know."
00:42:13.16\00:42:14.50
I said, "But I
prefer to take this one."
00:42:14.53\00:42:16.23
That's a lot bigger,
I'll just take this one."
00:42:16.26\00:42:18.50
And he looked at
me and he was shocked,
00:42:18.53\00:42:20.37
you know, 'cause I
could see it on his face.
00:42:20.40\00:42:22.90
And he's like, will you?
00:42:22.94\00:42:24.27
I mean, that's our...
00:42:24.31\00:42:26.07
I said, "No, I understand."
00:42:26.11\00:42:27.44
So I walked out
of the pastor study,
00:42:27.48\00:42:29.38
started down the
hallway in the main sanctuary
00:42:29.41\00:42:32.98
to head out the door.
00:42:33.01\00:42:34.38
So he was really
behind me right then.
00:42:34.42\00:42:36.48
I mean, he was like,
"Brother Shelton, you can't.
00:42:36.52\00:42:38.75
Yeah, I'm sorry.
00:42:38.79\00:42:40.12
I don't know what you're doing,
but that's not your money."
00:42:40.16\00:42:43.22
I said, "No, it is my money."
00:42:43.26\00:42:45.66
"How's that?" And I
said, "You convinced me."
00:42:45.69\00:42:47.26
I said, "You convinced me
00:42:47.30\00:42:49.00
there's no such
thing as stealing."
00:42:49.03\00:42:50.70
I said, you said,
00:42:50.73\00:42:52.30
"The Commandments
were done away with,
00:42:52.33\00:42:53.67
so if I take
this, I'm not stealing.
00:42:53.70\00:42:56.24
I just decided,
hey, there's more there.
00:42:56.27\00:42:58.04
I might as well take that.
00:42:58.07\00:42:59.67
Now this is mine,"
so I said, "Obviously,
00:42:59.71\00:43:02.14
if the Ten
Commandments aren't valid,
00:43:02.18\00:43:04.01
then I didn't do anything wrong,
00:43:04.05\00:43:05.41
I'm not stealing."
00:43:05.45\00:43:06.78
So he looked at me and he
said, "Okay, I get your point.
00:43:06.82\00:43:09.52
Can you bring that back?
00:43:09.55\00:43:10.89
Can we go back in
and straighten this out."
00:43:10.92\00:43:13.15
I said, "Sure."
00:43:13.19\00:43:14.52
Then we went back in,
we straightened it out,
00:43:14.56\00:43:17.19
and I got my smaller
check which we deserved.
00:43:17.23\00:43:21.76
The amazing thing about
it is strange is enough,
00:43:21.80\00:43:24.47
and I threw that question
to Angie for the exact reason.
00:43:24.50\00:43:27.90
The effect that
it gave, there are 10
00:43:27.94\00:43:30.37
and a lot of people
that really love the Lord
00:43:30.41\00:43:33.38
have not been told
00:43:33.41\00:43:34.94
that they're
not multiple choice.
00:43:34.98\00:43:37.15
Yeah. These are not suggestions.
00:43:37.18\00:43:39.25
And the word command
00:43:39.28\00:43:40.62
simply means God is the only one
00:43:40.65\00:43:42.82
that has the
authority and the right
00:43:42.85\00:43:44.75
to command His creation.
00:43:44.79\00:43:46.82
Like, if you're a shepherd,
you wanna guide your sheep.
00:43:46.86\00:43:50.36
He's the chief shepherd.
00:43:50.39\00:43:51.83
If you have children,
00:43:51.86\00:43:53.19
you don't want a house
of over 10 unruly children
00:43:53.23\00:43:55.60
and say, well, eight
of you could be obedient,
00:43:55.63\00:43:58.93
one of you could be disobedient
and anytime you want,
00:43:58.97\00:44:01.20
which one pick any one of them.
00:44:01.24\00:44:02.94
So that's not the
way, and this book,
00:44:02.97\00:44:04.31
Ten Commandments Twice Removed
00:44:04.34\00:44:05.81
has really opened the doors
for so many people to come in.
00:44:05.84\00:44:08.61
And the stories are amazing,
00:44:08.64\00:44:09.98
when you and
Shelley put this together.
00:44:10.01\00:44:11.48
I mean, the methodical approach
00:44:11.51\00:44:13.58
to walking, as you said
through the history of it.
00:44:13.62\00:44:15.72
Yeah.
00:44:15.75\00:44:17.09
Letting people see
where the change came in
00:44:17.12\00:44:19.22
and Christians
ought to know that
00:44:19.25\00:44:20.82
because we love the Lord.
00:44:20.86\00:44:22.19
All the nominations,
00:44:22.22\00:44:23.56
I can't think of
a single Christian
00:44:23.59\00:44:24.93
that will say, I
don't love the Lord.
00:44:24.96\00:44:26.49
We love the Lord and
we want to serve the Lord
00:44:26.53\00:44:28.06
in spirit and in truth.
00:44:28.10\00:44:31.00
And this book does reveal
00:44:31.03\00:44:32.37
the Spirit of God
and the truth of God.
00:44:32.40\00:44:33.84
So once again, Danny mentioned,
00:44:33.87\00:44:36.57
if you call us
here at 3ABN at 618...
00:44:36.60\00:44:39.24
I think we have
people here tonight
00:44:39.27\00:44:40.61
who will take the calls.
00:44:40.64\00:44:41.98
Okay, we have people
that are available tonight,
00:44:42.01\00:44:43.35
if you want to order.
00:44:43.38\00:44:44.71
If you, you could
do things you can do,
00:44:44.75\00:44:46.08
you can order the books
00:44:46.11\00:44:47.45
by the case $22 per
case, that's 22 cents a book.
00:44:47.48\00:44:51.52
But that's not purchasing,
that's just for the shipping.
00:44:51.55\00:44:53.62
Just shipping.
00:44:53.66\00:44:54.99
Order them by the boxes,
bring them to your church.
00:44:55.02\00:44:56.36
Books are free. Books are free.
00:44:56.39\00:44:57.73
And the books
are free. Yes, free.
00:44:57.76\00:44:59.16
The books are free.
Can't get better than that.
00:44:59.19\00:45:00.80
Yeah. Not cheaper than free.
00:45:00.83\00:45:02.76
No cheaper than free you want.
00:45:02.80\00:45:04.87
Any less than that? No,
free to the tenth power.
00:45:04.90\00:45:08.60
But if you order
them by the case,
00:45:08.64\00:45:10.67
they'll ship those to
you just pay the shipping.
00:45:10.71\00:45:13.41
And as Danny said,
00:45:13.44\00:45:14.98
don't order the books
and put them on the shelf
00:45:15.01\00:45:16.75
because somebody's
salvation depends on it.
00:45:16.78\00:45:19.21
Yeah.
00:45:19.25\00:45:20.58
If you call the
number right now,
00:45:20.62\00:45:21.95
(618) 627-4651
00:45:21.98\00:45:26.52
and ask them, tell them
how many you'd like to order
00:45:26.55\00:45:29.96
or you can write
us here at 3abn.tv
00:45:29.99\00:45:33.19
and order them also that way.
00:45:33.23\00:45:34.96
And I tell you, there
are 250,000 remaining,
00:45:35.00\00:45:38.13
but if you think
about 13 million,
00:45:38.17\00:45:40.17
that's a small
drop in the bucket.
00:45:40.20\00:45:41.54
Yeah, we had a
million this time printed,
00:45:41.57\00:45:43.44
and I think about
750,000 are gone so far.
00:45:43.47\00:45:47.18
So if we get rid of
that, and people donate enough,
00:45:47.21\00:45:50.68
we'll do some more.
00:45:50.71\00:45:52.35
But right now we have
those that are still available,
00:45:52.38\00:45:54.62
and there's no
use them sitting here,
00:45:54.65\00:45:56.12
so that's why wherever you live,
00:45:56.15\00:45:58.25
doesn't have to be Alabama now,
00:45:58.29\00:45:59.65
but wherever we're
willing to send those to you.
00:45:59.69\00:46:02.42
That's right, And people might
00:46:02.46\00:46:03.79
want to just do
their own zip code.
00:46:03.83\00:46:05.96
Thank you.
00:46:05.99\00:46:07.33
Lot of people
have been doing that.
00:46:07.36\00:46:08.70
Yeah, you can do your zip code
00:46:08.73\00:46:10.47
and get things
to your neighbors.
00:46:10.50\00:46:12.40
Some people are
a little skittish
00:46:12.43\00:46:13.97
about going to a
neighbor and giving them a book
00:46:14.00\00:46:16.67
'cause you don't know
how they're gonna react.
00:46:16.71\00:46:18.27
Well, you can order the
books, you can have them,
00:46:18.31\00:46:21.28
you know, sent to your neighbor,
00:46:21.31\00:46:22.68
you can slip them on
their porch or whatever,
00:46:22.71\00:46:25.48
but you can do it
through the zip code.
00:46:25.51\00:46:27.35
That's right, Thank you.
00:46:27.38\00:46:28.72
Dwight Hall the
publisher of the book,
00:46:28.75\00:46:31.62
they do a great job of that.
00:46:31.65\00:46:33.56
And I get almost every week,
00:46:33.59\00:46:35.52
he sends me a list of zip codes,
00:46:35.56\00:46:38.39
that someone who
said, "This is my town,
00:46:38.43\00:46:41.33
or this is my county, you know,
that I live in and I want...
00:46:41.36\00:46:45.73
There are 44,000
or 20,000 or 10,000
00:46:45.77\00:46:49.57
and I want everybody
in that postal zip code
00:46:49.60\00:46:52.54
to get one of these books."
00:46:52.57\00:46:54.21
So one lady who wrote says,
00:46:54.24\00:46:56.98
"I can't imagine
I've been praying to God
00:46:57.01\00:46:59.35
asking Him 'cause
I know I had truth,
00:46:59.38\00:47:01.55
but I can't convince anybody.
00:47:01.58\00:47:03.25
And I've been studying this out.
00:47:03.28\00:47:05.35
And as I prayed about
it, I went to my mailbox
00:47:05.39\00:47:08.56
and opened it up
and there's this book.
00:47:08.59\00:47:11.23
And I have no
idea why it's here.
00:47:11.26\00:47:12.69
So I start reading it."
00:47:12.73\00:47:14.40
So she said, "I
didn't order this book.
00:47:14.43\00:47:17.47
No one knows me.
00:47:17.50\00:47:18.83
How could anybody know
00:47:18.87\00:47:20.50
that I needed
this book right now,
00:47:20.54\00:47:22.90
when I'm getting it."
00:47:22.94\00:47:24.37
So she said, "She
didn't know what to do.
00:47:24.41\00:47:26.44
So she contact, she
looked at through the publisher
00:47:26.47\00:47:29.08
was Remnant, so
sent it to Remnant.
00:47:29.11\00:47:31.71
And so he said, "I
think you want to read."
00:47:31.75\00:47:33.88
And so the testimonies
00:47:33.92\00:47:35.25
what's been
happening in this person's life
00:47:35.28\00:47:37.42
has been incredible right now,
00:47:37.45\00:47:39.32
you know, from just hearing
it to now going to church
00:47:39.35\00:47:42.12
and so with and family things.
00:47:42.16\00:47:44.16
It's just incredible
to watch what's going on,
00:47:44.19\00:47:46.46
but God knew, she needed it.
00:47:46.49\00:47:48.96
That's right.
00:47:49.00\00:47:50.33
Right at that right
time and that's a zip code
00:47:50.37\00:47:52.47
because we didn't do it
every household in Alabama,
00:47:52.50\00:47:55.54
but some of the
major cities in route.
00:47:55.57\00:47:57.67
She was there and how
many more are that way?
00:47:57.71\00:48:00.31
So we've seen so many,
00:48:00.34\00:48:02.31
Tim, the miracles the
Lord literally works out.
00:48:02.34\00:48:06.88
There was a man who
wrote us, and he said, I was...
00:48:06.92\00:48:11.09
I think it's a woman
that wrote us and she said,
00:48:11.12\00:48:13.49
"I was so down and I live out,
00:48:13.52\00:48:16.46
you know, close
to one of the coast."
00:48:16.49\00:48:18.93
I don't know if
it's east or west.
00:48:18.96\00:48:20.40
And she said, "I just
had to get out with someone,
00:48:20.43\00:48:22.53
take a walk on the beach,
00:48:22.56\00:48:23.90
and I was so
discouraged with my life,
00:48:23.93\00:48:26.20
with my relationship with God.
00:48:26.23\00:48:28.04
Just I need to be
drawn closer to God
00:48:28.07\00:48:30.21
and really understand who He is,
00:48:30.24\00:48:32.14
so I was just walking
on the beach and deciding,
00:48:32.17\00:48:34.74
I either need to give it up
00:48:34.78\00:48:36.41
or I need to really that
Lord help me somehow to grasp."
00:48:36.44\00:48:40.12
And she said, "I was going down
to beach and I saw something."
00:48:40.15\00:48:43.95
She said, "Over in the sand."
00:48:43.99\00:48:45.92
And I said, "I
wonder what that is."
00:48:45.95\00:48:47.39
No one was there.
It was an evening.
00:48:47.42\00:48:48.96
She said, "I have
picked it up and it said
00:48:48.99\00:48:50.53
the Ten
Commandments Twice Removed."
00:48:50.56\00:48:51.89
Wow!
00:48:51.93\00:48:53.26
And she said,
00:48:53.29\00:48:54.63
the interesting thing
about this as you know
00:48:54.66\00:48:56.46
every usually evening
and morning the water,
00:48:56.50\00:48:58.93
the tide will go up and
the tide will come down.
00:48:58.97\00:49:00.90
Yes.
00:49:00.94\00:49:02.27
And she said, "This
book was setting up there.
00:49:02.30\00:49:03.74
It wasn't wet,
it was in the sand,
00:49:03.77\00:49:06.04
had some sand on it.
00:49:06.07\00:49:07.54
And I expected, oh,
this, whatever it was."
00:49:07.58\00:49:10.38
She said, "I read the book,
it changed my entire life."
00:49:10.41\00:49:13.65
I mean, "I'm going
to church every Sabbath,
00:49:13.68\00:49:16.02
and my relationship with God."
00:49:16.05\00:49:18.12
And so now, was
that an accident?
00:49:18.15\00:49:20.46
No, divine providence.
00:49:20.49\00:49:22.59
Somebody walking on the ocean,
00:49:22.62\00:49:23.96
so somebody had it out there
and just left it in the ocean.
00:49:23.99\00:49:26.96
An angel.
00:49:27.00\00:49:28.33
Or the Lord had
it delivered there.
00:49:28.36\00:49:29.70
There you go. An angel delivery.
00:49:29.73\00:49:31.07
Yeah.
00:49:31.10\00:49:32.43
Or a book that was
out the person told me,
00:49:32.47\00:49:35.50
the person was getting baptized,
00:49:35.54\00:49:37.77
that he collects garbage.
00:49:37.81\00:49:39.84
So he rides on
the garbage trucks
00:49:39.87\00:49:41.84
and picks up, you
know, the garbage.
00:49:41.88\00:49:44.71
As he picked it
up to throw it in,
00:49:44.75\00:49:46.68
so some of the
garbage, a book fell out.
00:49:46.72\00:49:49.42
So when the book fell out.
00:49:49.45\00:49:51.02
He said, "Oh, that
looks interesting."
00:49:51.05\00:49:52.85
Went home, read the book,
00:49:52.89\00:49:54.26
and was getting, he wrote
and said he's getting baptized
00:49:54.29\00:49:57.36
'cause he found the book so
someone throws the book out,
00:49:57.39\00:50:01.60
but somebody else
discovers it in the garbage,
00:50:01.63\00:50:04.80
so to speak so, it's amazing.
00:50:04.83\00:50:07.77
That's why the
blessing is on the go.
00:50:07.80\00:50:09.14
Yes.
00:50:09.17\00:50:10.51
I'll end my part with this.
00:50:10.54\00:50:11.87
That's why the
blessing is on the go.
00:50:11.91\00:50:13.24
It's not about us
on what we can do,
00:50:13.27\00:50:15.41
but if we do something,
00:50:15.44\00:50:16.95
the Lord says, "Go
ye into all the world."
00:50:16.98\00:50:19.08
So if I go leave a
book, out no telling where,
00:50:19.11\00:50:22.78
you don't know
who's gonna find it.
00:50:22.82\00:50:24.85
But whoever is looking,
00:50:24.89\00:50:26.25
God's gonna connect
those dots together.
00:50:26.29\00:50:28.52
He's gonna put those together,
00:50:28.56\00:50:29.99
so we have
opportunities to do it.
00:50:30.03\00:50:32.09
I wanna thank you because
without your donations to 3ABN,
00:50:32.13\00:50:36.30
they're tax
deductible, you can just donate
00:50:36.33\00:50:38.17
and say these are for
the Ten Commandments project.
00:50:38.20\00:50:40.77
And when you do,
00:50:40.80\00:50:42.14
those books all of those
that are purchased in there,
00:50:42.17\00:50:44.07
I think they're,
00:50:44.11\00:50:45.44
I mean, we've got it
down to just about cost,
00:50:45.47\00:50:47.34
they're like
that's without shipping.
00:50:47.38\00:50:49.44
I don't know if it's
little 50 cents apiece,
00:50:49.48\00:50:52.58
other words a $10 book,
00:50:52.61\00:50:53.95
and we got them way under
like almost two for a dollar.
00:50:53.98\00:50:56.69
So when you put that money in,
00:50:56.72\00:50:58.82
say $100, you
bought nearly 200 books.
00:50:58.85\00:51:01.06
Wow!
00:51:01.09\00:51:02.42
And so if you take that times
250 that you normally would
00:51:02.46\00:51:06.03
or 995 that would
be a lot of money,
00:51:06.06\00:51:08.86
but so they send in the
money and then you call in.
00:51:08.90\00:51:12.53
So if you want those
call us in tonight, email us,
00:51:12.57\00:51:15.54
tell us where
you're from, your church,
00:51:15.57\00:51:17.01
give us your address,
00:51:17.04\00:51:18.37
promise us
you'll pass those out.
00:51:18.41\00:51:20.11
All you have to do
is pay the shipping,
00:51:20.14\00:51:22.04
as John says 22 cents a piece.
00:51:22.08\00:51:23.95
But I'm excited because
I see what God has done.
00:51:23.98\00:51:27.48
Amen. That's right.
00:51:27.52\00:51:28.85
And he'll do it
through any of our efforts.
00:51:28.88\00:51:30.82
The Praise Him Channel,
00:51:30.85\00:51:32.19
the more it's on,
the more it's out,
00:51:32.22\00:51:33.82
the more people
gonna come to know Jesus.
00:51:33.86\00:51:36.42
Dare to Dream, the
more it's out there,
00:51:36.46\00:51:38.46
the more people
gonna come to Jesus,
00:51:38.49\00:51:40.13
but you can't continue to go on.
00:51:40.16\00:51:42.26
Dare to Dream, if folks at home
aren't supporting financially.
00:51:42.30\00:51:45.90
3ABN Radio is out there.
00:51:45.93\00:51:48.00
We know of our own
church right here locally,
00:51:48.04\00:51:50.67
people walked in
and being baptized...
00:51:50.71\00:51:52.94
Matter of fact.
00:51:52.97\00:51:54.31
Just from
listening to 3ABN Radio,
00:51:54.34\00:51:56.21
but we couldn't do
it without your support.
00:51:56.24\00:51:58.41
So that's why when you give
tax deductible gifts to 3ABN
00:51:58.45\00:52:02.72
that helps all of our networks
00:52:02.75\00:52:04.49
and it helps
people around the world.
00:52:04.52\00:52:06.02
It's amazing.
00:52:06.05\00:52:07.39
And the phones are live tonight.
00:52:07.42\00:52:08.76
So you can call (618) 627-4651,
somebody is on the other line,
00:52:08.79\00:52:13.93
they'll answer your questions
00:52:13.96\00:52:15.86
or they'll also
put the order in.
00:52:15.90\00:52:17.23
Yes.
00:52:17.27\00:52:18.60
Get them on
their heart, you know,
00:52:18.63\00:52:19.97
you got to get them
while they're there.
00:52:20.00\00:52:21.34
No, we've actually
given out the books in Benton
00:52:21.37\00:52:22.80
all over here.
00:52:22.84\00:52:24.17
Remember, we had a
little package and they said,
00:52:24.21\00:52:25.57
"Wow, 3ABN.
00:52:25.61\00:52:26.94
We watch it
locally on television."
00:52:26.98\00:52:28.74
That's right.
00:52:28.78\00:52:30.11
So we've done
our part as a church
00:52:30.15\00:52:31.85
and we have in the
foyer and all that.
00:52:31.88\00:52:33.88
That's right.
00:52:33.92\00:52:35.25
But you know the
time the plant seeds,
00:52:35.28\00:52:36.62
the Lord can never bless
00:52:36.65\00:52:38.29
a Bible study
that's never given.
00:52:38.32\00:52:39.65
Never given.
00:52:39.69\00:52:41.02
You'll never hit a
target you don't aim at.
00:52:41.06\00:52:42.39
Yes.
00:52:42.42\00:52:43.76
And there will never
be a soul in the kingdom
00:52:43.79\00:52:45.16
who didn't
receive a Bible study.
00:52:45.19\00:52:46.80
And what a blessing is,
00:52:46.83\00:52:48.16
and by the way, let's broaden,
00:52:48.20\00:52:49.53
this is more than just about
00:52:49.56\00:52:50.90
the Ten
Commandments Twice Removed.
00:52:50.93\00:52:52.27
It's about the souls
00:52:52.30\00:52:53.64
that are gonna be in the kingdom
00:52:53.67\00:52:55.00
as a result of that book.
00:52:55.04\00:52:56.40
But somebody's
got to tell the story.
00:52:56.44\00:52:58.27
And we had a lady who
for 30-something years,
00:52:58.31\00:53:01.18
watching 3ABN here.
00:53:01.21\00:53:02.91
And every time the
Commandments came on the radio,
00:53:02.94\00:53:05.11
she'd turn it off.
00:53:05.15\00:53:06.58
And she was one of the
churches that got those...
00:53:06.61\00:53:07.95
Kris.
00:53:07.98\00:53:09.32
Kris Caviness. Caviness. Yeah.
00:53:09.35\00:53:11.19
Her church in response
00:53:11.22\00:53:12.59
to the
Commandments being taken out
00:53:12.62\00:53:13.96
of the courthouse in Alabama
00:53:13.99\00:53:15.46
gave one of her
church members...
00:53:15.49\00:53:16.83
They had these Ten Commandment
signs to put on the lawn.
00:53:16.86\00:53:18.96
She had one.
00:53:18.99\00:53:20.33
And they gave it to
her. She put it on the lawn.
00:53:20.36\00:53:22.73
And the very message she
didn't want to get from us,
00:53:22.76\00:53:25.47
her church gave it to her.
00:53:25.50\00:53:26.84
Yeah.
00:53:26.87\00:53:28.20
She said to her
husband, "You know, Mike,
00:53:28.24\00:53:29.87
we ought to see
what this is all about.
00:53:29.90\00:53:31.24
The Lord keeps
bringing this up."
00:53:31.27\00:53:32.61
Yeah.
00:53:32.64\00:53:33.98
And she's a
member of the church now.
00:53:34.01\00:53:35.34
Praise the Lord for
that. And works with 3ABN.
00:53:35.38\00:53:36.71
And works for 3ABN.
00:53:36.75\00:53:38.08
Almost 35 years ago, they
ran a gas station in town,
00:53:38.11\00:53:40.82
which was about
the only business
00:53:40.85\00:53:42.42
and the thrift store.
00:53:42.45\00:53:43.85
And we used to
go buy diesel fuel,
00:53:43.89\00:53:45.42
sometimes five
gallons at a time from Mike.
00:53:45.45\00:53:48.12
And so we knew Mike and
Kris from way back then.
00:53:48.16\00:53:51.19
Nice people.
00:53:51.23\00:53:52.56
But I never dreamed,
00:53:52.59\00:53:53.93
never really thought
about here, years later,
00:53:53.96\00:53:55.86
seeing them so
involved in the church
00:53:55.90\00:53:58.47
and loving the Lord
00:53:58.50\00:53:59.87
and doing all that they're doing
00:53:59.90\00:54:01.50
and being part of 3ABN here.
00:54:01.54\00:54:03.34
It's really neat. That's right.
00:54:03.37\00:54:04.94
And the stories are amazing.
00:54:04.97\00:54:06.31
We're going to
spend a lot of time,
00:54:06.34\00:54:07.84
in the second hour
00:54:07.88\00:54:09.21
we wanted to take
the time to really
00:54:09.24\00:54:10.61
talk about the Ten
Commandments Twice Removed
00:54:10.65\00:54:12.45
because this is the issue
00:54:12.48\00:54:14.08
on which so much in the
world is going to be decided.
00:54:14.12\00:54:16.89
You know, we right
now live in a world
00:54:16.92\00:54:18.25
we see the breakdown of society
00:54:18.29\00:54:20.26
because the society is
not a law abiding society.
00:54:20.29\00:54:22.49
Right.
00:54:22.52\00:54:23.86
But what would be said
is if we have Christians
00:54:23.89\00:54:26.13
that don't want to be
law-abiding Christians?
00:54:26.16\00:54:28.43
Is there such a thing?
00:54:28.46\00:54:29.96
So the law of God...
00:54:30.00\00:54:31.33
Can you imagine a Christian
saying, "I'm a Christian,
00:54:31.37\00:54:33.54
but not a
law-abiding Christian"?
00:54:33.57\00:54:34.90
Now what kind of
Christian is that?
00:54:34.94\00:54:36.84
Wow.
00:54:36.87\00:54:38.21
I'm a citizen, a cop
stops you and you're going 90.
00:54:38.24\00:54:42.18
"I'm a citizen, but
I'm not a law-abiding...
00:54:42.21\00:54:44.18
Exactly.
00:54:44.21\00:54:45.88
I support the laws,
00:54:45.91\00:54:47.42
but not this
one, not the speeding.
00:54:47.45\00:54:49.22
God's law.
00:54:49.25\00:54:50.75
Whose law is it? It's God's law?
00:54:50.79\00:54:52.95
It can't get better
than that, higher than that.
00:54:52.99\00:54:54.89
He's God.
00:54:54.92\00:54:56.26
He's God. That's right.
00:54:56.29\00:54:57.63
And when the Lord says, "If you
love Me, keep My commandments."
00:54:57.66\00:54:59.63
You mentioned something, Danny,
00:54:59.66\00:55:01.00
there's a promise
connected to it because John...
00:55:01.03\00:55:02.63
Oh, yeah. That's John 14:15.
00:55:02.66\00:55:04.20
But John 14:16 says, "And..."
00:55:04.23\00:55:07.34
That is if you're faithful,
00:55:07.37\00:55:08.70
if you love Him enough
to keep His commandments.
00:55:08.74\00:55:10.21
And by the way, He empowers you
by His Holy Spirit to do that.
00:55:10.24\00:55:13.38
Then He says in verse 16,
00:55:13.41\00:55:14.88
"Then I will pray the Father,
00:55:14.91\00:55:16.24
and He will send
you another comforter."
00:55:16.28\00:55:17.68
John 16:13, "When He
the Spirit of Truth is come,
00:55:17.71\00:55:20.45
He will lead you and
guide you into all truth."
00:55:20.48\00:55:22.75
And Kris said this in
my Sabbath School class.
00:55:22.78\00:55:24.45
She says when she
accepted the Sabbath,
00:55:24.49\00:55:26.79
that she
finally, after 30 years,
00:55:26.82\00:55:28.76
stopped running
from God's Holy Spirit.
00:55:28.79\00:55:31.33
I saw erasing her Bible.
00:55:31.36\00:55:33.80
I said, "Kris,
what are you doing?"
00:55:33.83\00:55:35.16
She says, "I have so much
stuff to erase in this Bible.
00:55:35.20\00:55:37.47
I'm glad I
wrote it with pencil."
00:55:37.50\00:55:39.13
The Lord will reveal to
you so many more things.
00:55:39.17\00:55:41.17
And once again, we reiterate,
00:55:41.20\00:55:42.90
whatever denomination you
are in, the Lord loves you.
00:55:42.94\00:55:45.67
That's why this
message is coming to you
00:55:45.71\00:55:47.84
at this particular time
so the Lord can take you
00:55:47.88\00:55:51.28
and your worship
to a different level.
00:55:51.31\00:55:53.78
And once again,
00:55:53.82\00:55:55.15
we're not saying that you
only worship God on the Sabbath.
00:55:55.18\00:55:57.52
We worship God every day.
00:55:57.55\00:55:59.19
But the Sabbath has a blessing
00:55:59.22\00:56:00.56
you can't find any
other day of the week.
00:56:00.59\00:56:02.72
What a better time to
go ahead and embrace that.
00:56:02.76\00:56:05.43
Once again, what's
the phone number, honey?
00:56:05.46\00:56:07.33
(618) 627-4651
00:56:07.36\00:56:11.00
And $22 a box.
00:56:11.03\00:56:13.34
Oh, yeah.
Hundred in a box, Danny.
00:56:13.37\00:56:15.37
And they're free,
right? And they're free.
00:56:15.40\00:56:17.57
And they're free.
Just do the shipping.
00:56:17.61\00:56:19.17
If it's church and you
want 1,000 or even more,
00:56:19.21\00:56:22.58
and a lot of you have a
history of getting these books
00:56:22.61\00:56:25.45
and passing, some
did several years ago.
00:56:25.48\00:56:27.82
They were so effective.
They're doing them again.
00:56:27.85\00:56:29.72
That's right. So
you just let us know.
00:56:29.75\00:56:32.09
And call tonight, as
John said, and they're there.
00:56:32.12\00:56:35.92
We want these books
out rather than sitting,
00:56:35.96\00:56:38.69
you know, in a warehouse.
00:56:38.73\00:56:40.06
We want them...
00:56:40.10\00:56:41.43
If you want to supply
books to your zip code.
00:56:41.46\00:56:44.30
That's right. Yvonne was saying.
00:56:44.33\00:56:45.67
Yeah. Yeah.
00:56:45.70\00:56:47.04
You know, which
a lot of people do.
00:56:47.07\00:56:48.40
A lot of people say, "Well,
I can't go talk to anybody.
00:56:48.44\00:56:49.77
I'm all bashful," whatever.
00:56:49.80\00:56:51.54
You just take a certain
portion of your zip code.
00:56:51.57\00:56:53.91
Okay, here's half.
00:56:53.94\00:56:55.28
Do that now, maybe half later.
00:56:55.31\00:56:56.64
That's right.
You can do that too.
00:56:56.68\00:56:58.18
And get it in your
community that way.
00:56:58.21\00:57:00.28
Again, the
blessing is on the go.
00:57:00.32\00:57:02.52
If you want God's
blessings, do something.
00:57:02.55\00:57:04.52
It's not about
us. It's about Him.
00:57:04.55\00:57:06.62
We may look like
failures, we may stumble,
00:57:06.65\00:57:08.76
we may fall, but God's
going to continue to bless.
00:57:08.79\00:57:11.19
And souls are going to
be won for the kingdom.
00:57:11.23\00:57:13.09
That's right.
00:57:13.13\00:57:14.46
It was good to spend this
time in the first hour on this
00:57:14.50\00:57:16.13
because the law of
God is the issue on which
00:57:16.16\00:57:18.93
so many lives are
going to be determined.
00:57:18.97\00:57:21.30
And in the second hour,
00:57:21.34\00:57:22.67
we're going to
talk about evangelism,
00:57:22.70\00:57:24.51
the updates on
the 10 Days of Prayer.
00:57:24.54\00:57:26.44
We're going to
talk about Dare to Dream
00:57:26.47\00:57:27.81
and what else is
happening around 3ABN.
00:57:27.84\00:57:29.98
We're going to talk about
Latino in the second half.
00:57:30.01\00:57:32.25
So stay tuned because
there's so much more to come.
00:57:32.28\00:57:34.92
Stay with me, honey,
00:57:34.95\00:57:36.28
for the second
hour of the program.
00:57:36.32\00:57:37.65
I'll be here.
00:57:37.69\00:57:39.02
And we look forward to coming
back to you in just a moment.
00:57:39.05\00:57:40.52
