AT LEAST RIGHT NOW. 04:02 >> YVONNE WAS A NATURAL PATHIC DOCTOR, BUT SHE DOESN'T DO THAT 04:10 ANYMORE EITHER. I KNOW YOU MOM TO MOM PROBABLY 04:13 HAVE A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS FOR HER. 04:17 >> I DO. ONE QUESTION IS, HOW DID YOU TWO 04:23 MEET? >> THAT'S A LONG STORY. 04:26 >> REALLY LONG STORY. [ LAUGHTER ] 04:31 >> MY GRANDMA INTRODUCED AT THE CHURCH. 04:36 AND I HAD FINISHED MY TRAINING AND I WAS WORKING THERE, AND I 04:42 HAD STUDENTS FROM THE SCHOOL AND THE CLINIC, AND TED WAS JUST 04:47 FINISHING UP HIS MASTERS IN PUBLIC HEALTH, BUT WE HAD NEVER 04:53 MET, SO ANYWAY, WE MET IN CHURCH. 04:57 >> AND I KNEW HER GRANDMOTHER FROM BEFORE, OUR FAMILIES HAD 05:02 WITHIN ACQUAINTED. SO I CAME INTO THE CHURCH THAT 05:06 SABBATH MORNING, AND I HAD INVITED A -- A NON-MEMBER WHOM I 05:13 HAD MET THE DAY BEFORE, AN OLDER LADY -- DO YOU WANT TO GO TO 05:19 CHURCH? YES. 05:20 OKAY. SO I BROUGHT HER ALONG TO 05:22 CHURCH, AND I LOOKED IN THE AUDIENCE, AND I SAW HER 05:27 GRANDMOTHER, AND I SAW NANCY THERE, AND THIS WAS JUST LIKE A 05:32 DIVINE APPOINTMENT. THERE WERE PLACES RIGHT NEXT TO 05:35 HER GRANDMOTHER. SO WE WENT IN AND SAT DOWN AND 05:40 SAID HELLO TO HER GRANDMOTHER, AND YOU BETTER TELL WHAT THE 05:45 GRANDMOTHER SAID -- >> MY GRANDMOTHER WAS VERY PRIM 05:48 AND PROPER, BUT SHE WAS SO CUTE, AND SHE POKED ME IN THE RIBS, 05:54 AND SHE SAID THAT IS TEDDY WILSON, AND SHE SAID STICK WITH 05:58 ME, AND I'LL INTRODUCE YOU AFTER CHURCH. 06:02 AND SURE ENOUGH THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED. 06:04 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND I THINK WE WERE THE LAST 06:06 PEOPLE TO LEAVE AT THE END OF THE SERVICE. 06:10 BUT IT'S A LONG STORY, BUT IT TURNED OUT IN A WONDERFUL WAY. 06:14 >> WE SEE THAT. YES. 06:17 AND ONE OTHER QUESTION. CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN. 06:21 >> WE HAVE THREE WONDERFUL DAUGHTERS, AND NOW WE HAVE THREE 06:26 WONDERFUL SONS THAT THEY HAVE BROUGHT INTO THE FAMILY. 06:30 SO WE HAVE SIX CHILDREN, AND WE HAVE TEN GRANDCHILDREN. 06:35 FIVE GRANDSONS AND FIVE GRANDDAUGHTERS. 06:39 >> THAT'S AWESOME. >> WE ALWAYS LOVE TO HERE -- AND 06:44 OUR FOLKS DO TOO ABOUT THE FAMILIES. 06:47 BUT WHAT A PRIVILEGE. I GOT IN TROUBLE ONE TIME, 06:51 BECAUSE I SAID IN FRONT OF A CHURCH AUDIENCE, I WAS 06:56 INTRODUCING MY GRANDCHILDREN AND I SAID I THEY ARE SO MUCH FUN, 07:02 AND IF I KNEW THEY WERE THIS MUCH FUN, I WOULD HAVE HAD THEM 07:09 FIRST. AND MY DAUGHTER MELODY, SAID, 07:17 HEY, DAD, WHAT ABOUT ME? AND SPEAKING OF THAT OUR SONG IS 07:26 "LORD I WORSHIP YOU," AND MY DAUGHTER MELODY IS SINGING THIS 07:30 FOR YOU. ♪ 09:15 . . . 12:01 >> OH. >> AMEN. 12:03 >> THAT'S SO LOVELY. >> THANK YOU, MELODY. 12:06 >> YES, THANK YOU. >> WE NAMED HER MELODY IN FAITH 12:10 THAT GOD WOULD GIVE HER MUSICAL ABILITIES, AND HE HAS DONE SO. 12:16 >> HE HAS. >> AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR 12:18 WHAT YOU DO FOR THE CAUSE OF GOD AND LANNY WOLFE FOR WRITING SUCH 12:23 A BEAUTIFUL SONG. AGAIN, TODAY WE HAVE TED AND 12:27 NANCY WILSON WITH US. AND WE'RE EXCITED TO HEAR WHAT 12:29 IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD CHURCH, SO WE WANT TO JUST TURN IT OVER 12:34 TO YOU GUYS AND LET YOU TAKE IT AND RUN WITH IT. 12:39 AND WE'RE HEAR ALL EARS. AND THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS TO 12:44 REPORT TO US, AND WE'RE READY. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH, DANNY, AND 12:49 YVONNE FOR HAVING US HERE. AND LETTING US SHARE WHAT GOD IS 12:54 DOING WORLDWIDE. AND I ALSO WANT TO SHARE 13:01 APPRECIATION FOR THAT BEAUTIFUL SONG THAT MELODY JUST SHARED. 13:06 WE WANT TO WORSHIP GOD IN TRUTH AND BEAUTY, AND TO PROCLAIM 13:21 THREE ANGELS' MESSAGE. AND THAT'S WHY IT IS IMPORTANT 13:27 THAT THIS NETWORK CONTINUE WITH WHAT YOU ARE DOING. 13:31 AND I WANT TO THANK YOU ON BEHALF OF THE WORLD CHURCH FOR 13:34 THE SUPPORT THAT YOU PROVIDE TO THE WORLDWIDE EVANGELISTIC 13:40 OUTREACH, AND TO NURTURING PEOPLE IN THE LORD. 13:44 IT'S A GREAT BLESSING. >> WE GIVE GOD THE CREDIT. 13:48 >> AMEN. AND 3ABN WORKING ALONG WITH 13:51 OTHER MINISTRIES OF THE CHURCH, HOPE CHANNEL AND ALL OF THESE 13:56 ASPECTS TOGETHER, WE CAN TOUCH THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF PEOPLE 14:02 PREPARING THEM FOR CHRIST'S SOON COMING. 14:05 AND WE'RE GOING TO TOUCH ON A LOT OF THINGS TONIGHT. 14:08 IT'S GOING TO BE EXCITING. BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU ABOUT 14:12 SOMETHING THAT WE JUST CAME FROM. 14:14 IT WAS A GLOBAL LEADERSHIP SUMMIT IN THE BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY 14:19 OF JAMAICA. IT WAS LOCATED ON THE NORTH PART 14:25 OF THE ISLAND IN THE BEAUTIFUL AREA OF MON -- MONTIGO BAY. 14:40 AND WE BROUGHT IN WORLD LEADERS, AND THEY ALONG WITH THEIR 14:44 SPOUSES AND HEALTH MINISTRIES DIRECTORS AND THEIR SPOUSES AS 14:49 WELL AS SOME OTHERS FROM THE WORLD HEADQUARTERS AND A FEW 14:54 INSTITUTIONS CAME TOGETHER TO LOOK AT HOW DO WE REACH THE BIG 14:58 CITIES, THE POPULATION CENTERS OF THE WORLD? 15:01 NOW WE'RE LIVING IN A TIME WHERE MORE THAN 50% OF THE WORLD'S 15:07 POPULATION LIVE IN METROPOLITAN AREAS. 15:10 AS OPPOSED TO RURAL AREAS. 3ABN IS LOCATED IN A VERY RURAL 15:18 AREA, AND WE NEVER WANT TO FORGET THOSE AREAS. 15:21 BUT THE CITIES ARE COLLECTING SO-MANY PEOPLE THAT BY THE YEAR 2050, IF THE LORD ISN'T 15:30 HERE -- I BELIEVE HE'LL BE HERE BY THAT TIME -- BUT IF THE WORLD 15:34 WERE TO LAST IT WILL BE UPWARDS OF 68 TO 70% OF THE WORLD'S 15:40 POPULATION IN THESE METROPOLITAN AREAS. 15:42 SO HOW DO WE REACH THESE PEOPLE? HOW DO WE SHARE THE PRESSURE 15:48 GOSPEL? HOW DO WE LIFTED -- LIVE UP 15:53 CHRIST IN HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS AND HEALTH MESSAGE. 16:00 GOD HAS TOLD US ONE OF THE WAYS IS THROUGH COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH 16:06 MINISTRY. SO THAT WAS ONE OF THE THINGS WE 16:09 LOOKED AT IN JAMAICA. IN ADDITION, WE HAD EVERYONE WHO 16:14 WANTED TO PARTICIPATE AS PART OF A PERSONAL HEALTH ASSESSMENT 16:20 PROGRAM, WHICH MEANS WE TOOK SOME BLOOD SAMPLES, WE 16:27 TOOK -- WE DID BIOMETIC DATA COLLECTION. 16:32 AND THEN AT THE END OF EIGHT DAYS, WE DID THE SAME THING TO 16:37 SEE IF A PLANT-BASED DIET, EXERCISE, AND A PLEASANT 16:42 ENVIRONMENT HELPED CHANGE SOME OF THOSE SPECIFIC FIGURES. 16:46 IT WAS AMAZING. EVEN WITHIN A SPAN OF SEVEN, 16:51 EIGHT DAYS. PEOPLE SAW THEIR WEIGHT DROP, 16:56 THEIR CHOLESTEROL DROP, THEIR NUMBERS IMPROVE. 16:59 IT WAS A WAY OF THOSE LEADERS BECOMING SO ENGAGED IN THIS 17:07 PARTICULAR ASPECT OF HEALTHY LIVING AND HEALTH REFORM, 17:13 CHANGING HABITS SO THAT NOW THEY WERE GOING BACK AS CHAMPIONS OF 17:19 GOD'S SPECIAL MESSAGE HIMSELF. HOW JESUS DEALT WITH PEOPLE, 17:23 PHYSICALLY, MENTALLY, SOCIALLY AND PHYSICALLY. 17:28 HOW HE SPENT MORE TIME HEALING THAN PREACHING. 17:32 TOUCHING THE LIVES OF PEOPLE IN A PRACTICAL WAY. 17:35 I DON'T THINK I HAVE EVER BEEN AT A MEETING WHERE PEOPLE LEFT 17:42 WITH SUCH A POSITIVE, AN OPTIMISTIC ATTITUDE -- I CAN'T 17:48 REMEMBER A MEETING LIKE THAT. >> THAT'S GREAT. 17:52 IT'S ONE THING TO TELL PEOPLE ABOUT THE BENEFITS. 17:57 IT'S ANOTHER TO USE THEIR DATA TO SHOW THEM HOW IT REALLY 18:02 WORKS. IF YOU HAVE THEIR NUMBERS AT THE 18:05 BEGINNING AND AT THE END, THAT'S TREMENDOUS. 18:08 >> I WANTED TO ASK YOU, BECAUSE SO MANY PEOPLE HAVE ASKED 18:11 US -- THERE ARE A NUMBER OF RELIGIOUS NETWORKS ON THE AIR. 18:16 AND THEY WILL SEE WHY DOES 3ABN SPENDING SO MUCH TIME ON HEALTH. 18:21 WHY DON'T YOU JUST PREACH THE GOSPEL? 18:26 WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? >> YOU LEAD ME RIGHT INTO THE 18:31 BIBLE. [ LAUGHTER ] 18:31 >> AND WE DIDN'T EVEN REHEARSE THAT. 18:37 [ LAUGHTER ] >> IN 3 JOHN, ONE CHAPTER, 18:42 VERSUS 2. HE IS SAYING TO THIS INDIVIDUAL, 18:47 I PRAY THEY YOU MAY PROSPER IN ALL THINGS AND BE IN DEATH JUST 18:54 AS YOUR SOUL PROSPERS. IF WE LOOK AT 1 CORINTHIANS. 19:05 6. YOU ARE NOT YOUR OWN. 19:08 YOU WERE BOUGHT AT A PRICE. THEREFORE, GLORIFY GOD IN YOUR 19:16 BODY AND YOUR SPIRIT. YOU TURN OVER JUST ANOTHER FOUR 19:20 CHAPTERS OR SO, AND YOU COME TO THIS TREMENDOUS TEXT IN 1 19:29 CORINTHIANS 10:31. WHATEVER YOU DO, DO IT ALL TO 19:33 THE GLORY OF GOD. THE BIBLE IS REPLETE WITH 19:37 INFORMATION THAT WE ARE A WHOLE PERSON. 19:41 WE'RE NOT SEGMENTED. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 19:43 >> THESE CHAIRS HAVE FOUR LEGS, A PHYSICAL, MENTAL, SPIRITUAL, 19:49 AND SOCIAL. IF ONE OF THE LEGS WASN'T 19:53 WORKING RIGHT, IT WOULD LOOK PRETTY SILLY ON THIS SET. 19:57 SO WE NEED TO BE IN BALANCE. AND THE ONLY REASON YOU ARE IN 20:02 BALANCE IS TO FOCUS ON THE ONE THAT PUTS YOU IN BALANCE. 20:06 AND THAT IS JESUS. HE IS THE HIGH PRIEST, THE 20:11 MASTER PHYSICIAN, THE MASTER TEACHER. 20:14 HE HAS DONE EVERYTHING FOR US. AND SO AS WE FOCUS UPON CHRIST 20:18 AND HIS INSTRUCTION TO US, THE BIBLE TELLS US IN PROVERBS A 20:25 MERRY HEART DO TO US LIKE A MEDICINE. 20:29 SO WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT THE BRAIN, WHICH IS ABOUT 3.5 20:34 POUNDS, NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE WHEN YOU LOOK AT IT -- I HAVE SEEN A 20:38 BRAIN IN AN AUTOPSY, AND IT'S INTERESTING, BUT IT'S NOT 20:42 TERRIBLY IMPRESSIVE, BUT WITHIN THIS BRAIN, THE BRAIN IS DOING 20:47 SO MANY THINGS AT THE SAME TIME, TELLING ME WHAT TO SAY, HOW TO 20:51 SPEAK, MOVING MY HANDS AND MANY OTHER THINGS I'M NOT EVEN 20:56 THINKING ABOUT AND THE -- THE SYSTEMS THAT THE BODY HAS, THAT 21:06 YOU BEGIN TO UNDERSTAND WE ARE WONDERFULLY MADE. 21:10 AND THIS BRAIN IS SITTING IN THIS BODY, AND THE BODY AND THE 21:15 BRAIN ARE SO INTERRELATED, THAT IF YOU PUT THE WRONG THINGS INTO 21:19 YOUR BODY, IT IS GOING TO AFFECT YOUR BRAIN, AND ESPECIALLY THE 21:24 FRONTAL LOBES OF THE BRAIN WHERE THE HOLY SPIRIT CAN COMMUNICATE 21:30 WITH YOU. SO IF YOU CAN'T PROCESS THINGS 21:33 WELL, PART OF IT IS GOING TO BE BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT LIVING 21:37 PROPERLY. AND IF YOU EAT IN THE RIGHT WAY. 21:40 IF YOU EAT IN MODERATION, YOU GET EXERCISE, FRESH AIR, PURE 21:46 WATER, AND -- AND REST AND ALL OF THESE KINDS OF THINGS YOUR 21:50 BODY IS GOING TO REACT IN A POSITIVE WAY. 21:56 THEREBY HELPING YOUR MIND TO BE IN A BETTER CONDITION TO RECEIVE 22:01 GOD'S WORD AND RECEIVE THE MESSAGE THAT GOD HAS FOR YOU. 22:06 >> OKAY. >> THAT'S THE ANSWER YOU CAN -GIVE. 22:11 THAT'S WHY 3ABN BROADCASTS POWERFUL INFORMATION ABOUT 22:16 BETTER HEALTH. >> UH-HUH. 22:19 NANCY? >> I WAS JUST -- WHEN WE WERE 22:21 TALKING ABOUT THE BEFORE AND AFTER LAB TESTS, YOU CANNOT 22:25 ARGUE WITH SUCCESS, AND IF AFTER SEVEN OR EIGHT DAYS, PEOPLE ARE 22:32 FEELING BETTER, THEY HAVE LOST SOME WEIGHT. 22:35 THEY ARE SLEEPING BETTER, AND THEY ARE ENERGIZED AND THEY WANT 22:39 TO GO HOME AND FOLLOW THROUGH WITH THOSE AMAZING HEALTH 22:44 PRINCIPLES THAT WE LEARN ABOUT. AND, YOU KNOW, SCIENCE 22:47 TODAY -- THEY ARE DOING STUDIES THAT ARE PROFOUNDLY BACKING UP 22:54 WHAT WE HAVE BELIEVED FOR YEARS, AND -- YOU KNOW, WE -- I THINK 22:58 ONE OF THE HARDEST THINGS FOR MANY OF US IS TO GET ENOUGH 23:02 REST. BUT WE ARE FINDING, WE DON'T 23:05 JUST NEED AT LEAST 30 MINUTES OF EXERCISE, AND WE'RE NOT TRAINING 23:10 FOR A MARATHON. WE JUST NEED ACTIVITY. 23:12 AND YOU CAN DO IT IN 10-MINUTE SEGMENTS. 23:17 BUT YOU NEED ENOUGH WATER, BECAUSE OUR BODIES ARE 70% 23:22 WATER. WE HAVE TRILLIONS OF CELLS. 23:25 EVERY CELL NEEDS WATER. AND NOW THEY ARE FINDING OUT 23:28 ABOUT SLEEP, AND HOW PROFOUNDLY IMPORTANT IT IS, BECAUSE WITHOUT 23:34 SLEEP, WE ARE JUDGE -- OUR JUDGMENT IS NOT AS KEEN. 23:39 WE ARE -- YOU KNOW, IF ELDERLY PEOPLE DON'T GET ENOUGH SLEEP OR 23:44 WATER, THEY CAN BECOME CONFUSED, AND, YOU KNOW, WE NEED IT TO BE 23:50 CLEAR-THINKING AND TO WORK EFFICIENTLY AND EFFECTIVELY. 23:55 >> YES >> SO IT'S EVERY PART OF OUR 23:58 LIVES GOD IS TELLING US, BE HEALTHY, BE HAPPY, WILL JOYFUL. 24:03 AND IF WE DO THESE THINGS, WE'RE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO EXPERIENCE 24:07 THE JOY THAT HE LONGS FOR US TO HAVE EVERY DAY. 24:10 >> HEALTHY, HAPPY, AND HOLY, ALL THROUGH THE POWER OF JESUS 24:16 CHRIST. >> AMEN. 24:17 >> YOU CAN'T -- YOU CAN'T KEEP THE COMMANDMENTS ON YOUR OWN. 24:25 YOU DIDN'T EVEN HAVE HEALTH HABITS ON A CONTINUAL BASIS, 24:29 UNLESS YOU ARE ALLOWING THE HOLY SPIRIT TO CONTROL OUR TEN 24:38 TENDENCIES. BUT I WANT TO TELL US WHAT ELSE 24:41 WE DID THERE IN JAMAICA, WHICH WAS INCREDIBLE. 24:49 OUR CHURCH THERE IS A VERY WELL-KNOWN CHURCH. 24:54 ABOUT EVERY NINE PEOPLE YOU MEET ON THE STREET IS GOING TO BE A 25:03 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS. >> YOU MINE EVERY 1 IN 9. 25:07 >> YEAH. EVERY 1 IN 9 PEOPLE. 25:12 THEY HAD A TREMENDOUS OUTREACH, USING EXPOS, AND CULMINATING IN 25:19 PUBLIC EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS. SOME PEOPLE SAY THOSE DON'T WORK 25:26 THAT WELL ANYMORE. BUT EVEN IF IT REACHES ONE SOUL, 25:32 A PUBLIC EVANGELISTIC, OR HOME EVANGELISTIC OUTREACH IS 25:40 ABSOLUTELY WORTH WHIL -- WHILE. EVERY NIGHT I WAS PREACHING THE 25:48 WORD OF GOD AND NANCY WAS PRESENTING HEALTH PRESERVATION. 25:54 AND AT THE END OF THE WEEK WE HAD AN ENORMOUS RALLY IN MONTIGO 26:04 BAY. AND THIS WAS PUT ON BY THE 26:07 REGIONAL AREA, ALL ALONG TO ALL OF THEIR REGIONAL AREAS 26:12 THROUGHOUT CENTRAL AMERICA, INTER-AMERICA. 26:15 AND IT WAS A POWERFUL WITNESS FOR TOTAL MEMBER INVOLVEMENT. 26:19 EVERYBODY DOING SOMETHING FOR JESUS. 26:21 AND THEY HAD ABOUT 200 BAPTISMS THAT DAY. 26:25 THIS WAS ABOUT TEN DAYS AGO OR SO, AND ABOUT 300 MORE ACROSS 26:32 JAMAICA. AND THOUSANDS ACROSS THE 26:35 INTER-AMERICAN DIVISION. >> AMEN. 26:37 >> SO FOR ME, EVANGELISM AND PARTICIPATING IN THE PUBLIC 26:43 PREACHING OF GOD'S WORD, AND SEEING LIVES CHANGE, THIS IS THE 26:52 HAPPIEST THING I CAN DO. PREACHING GOD'S WORD IS JUST SO 26:56 POWERFUL, NOT ONLY FOR THEM, BUT FOR ME PERSONALLY. 27:00 >> ISN'T IT AMAZING THAT GOD SHOWED ELLEN WHITE BACK IN THE 27:05 1960S, NEW CHURCH STARTING UP BEING FORMED, THAT THE HEALTH 27:09 MESSAGE COULD BE AS IMPORTANT AS THE RIGHT ARM IS TO THE BODY, 27:14 BECAUSE I NEVER REALLY UNDER STOOD IT, BECAUSE I HAD GREAT 27:25 HEALTH. BUT WHAT REALLY SURPRISE ME WAS 27:32 THE PUBLIC THAT WOULD WATCH. WE WOULD GET CALLS FROM PEOPLE 27:39 THAT WOULD SAY I DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD, OR WHATEVER. 27:43 WE HAD ALL OF THESE PEOPLE WATCHING, BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T 27:46 HAVE LISTENED TO A PREACHER, BUT THEY WOULD LISTEN TO HEALTH. 27:52 BECAUSE PEOPLE -- ONE MAN TOLD ME. 27:54 I'M NOT A CHRISTIAN, AND I FIGURE WHEN I DIE, THAT'S IT. 27:58 SO THE REASON I WATCHED YOUR PROGRAM IS I FIGURE SINCE 28:03 THERE'S NOWHERE TO GO AFTER DEATH, AWANT TO LIVE AS LONG AS 28:07 HEALTHY AS I CAN, AND YOU GUYS ARE SHOWING THE TRUTH. 28:13 BUT ONCE PEOPLE BEGAN TO WATCH THE PROGRAMS, AND SEE THAT WE 28:16 ARE, AS YOU QUOTED, YOU KNOW, WONDERFULLY MADE BY GOD, THEN 28:22 THAT HELPS THEM TO ACCEPT JESUS. SO WHAT IS GREAT MINISTRY FOR 28:27 US, AND A TOOL TO GET PEOPLE TO WATCH, OR AS YOU -- WHEN YOU ARE 28:31 OUT LIKE THIS, PEOPLE COMING, -BECAUSE THEY ARE INTERESTED IN HEALTH, AND IT'S A GREAT WAY TO 28:37 INTRODUCE THEM TO JESUS. >> IT IS. 28:40 IT'S A POWERFUL WAY, BECAUSE IT'S CHRIST'S METHODS. 28:44 >> PEOPLE IN THE CITIES OFTEN HAVE SERIOUS HEALTH CHALLENGES 28:49 AS WELL. SO THIS REALLY MEETS THEM WHERE 28:52 THEY ARE. BECAUSE IT'S DIFFICULT TO FIND 28:54 THAT WAY IN. THE ENVIRONMENT IS SO SECULAR, 28:58 IT'S REALLY SECULAR, SO IT'S HARD TO FIND THAT WAY IN, SO 29:03 WHAT A BLESSING TO USE THAT AS THE ENTERING WEDGE. 29:07 >> IT. AND PRAISE GOD THAT WE CAN BE A 29:09 PART OF IT. AND I WOULD ENCOURAGE 29:13 EVERYONE -- THIS IS FOR EVERYBODY CAN DO SOMETHING TO 29:18 HELP A NEIGHBOR, A FRIEND, KNOW BETTER HEALTH HABITS AND JUST 29:22 SHARE THOSE THINGS WITH THEM. >> UH-HUH. 29:24 >> AND ALSO INVITE THEM TO KNOW THE ONE WHO CREATED THIS EARTH. 29:34 AND HE GAVE TO US THE POWER OF CHOICE AND THE OPPORTUNITY OF 29:38 FOLLOWING HIM, AND LOOKING TO THE ONE WHO KNOWS YOU INSIDE 29:42 OUT, AND HOW BEST YOU CAN FUNCTION, AND HE CAME -- AND AS 29:46 JOHN 10:10 SAYS, HE CAME TO GIVE LIFE AND TO GIVE IT MORE 29:54 ABUNDANTLY. ANYONE WHO ASKS YOU WHY 3ABN 29:58 SHARES HEALTH, THEY WILL TRULY UNDERSTOOD THEY ARE POINTING TO 30:02 THE GIVER OF GOOD HEALTH. >> AMEN. 30:05 >> I WANT TO GO INTO A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE CLIMATE IN WHICH 30:09 WE'RE LIVING TODAY. IT'S DIFFERENT THAN -- THAN IN 30:13 MY LIFETIME THAT I CAN EVER REMEMBER, EVEN WITHIN THE 30:18 CHURCH. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS WHEN I 30:20 GREW UP, WE HAD TENT MEETINGS, REVIVALS, YOU WEN TO CHURCH 30:25 EVERY TIME THE DOORS WERE OPENED. 30:31 YOU KNEW THE DOCTRINES OF THE CHURCH. 30:35 WE WOULD LEARN BIBLE SCRIPTURES, AND SAID A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE 30:39 SAYING, I THINK ITS BEST THAT WE JUST NEED TO TALK ABOUT 30:42 JESUS, AND WE DON'T NEED TO CENTER TOO MUCH ON DOCTRINES AND 30:47 COMMANDMENTS AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS. 30:49 TALK TO US ABOUT THAT. >> IT'S INTERESTING HOW THE 30:55 PENDULUM SWINGS AT TIMES. PEOPLE WILL BECOME VERY 31:02 LEGALISTIC. BUT GOD ASKS US TO -- TO -- FOR 31:06 MODERATION BE KNOWN. STAY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. 31:10 DON'T BECOME A FANATIC OR EXTREMIST ON EITHER SIDE. 31:15 THE LORD -- AND ONLY THE LORD WILL HELP YOU TO DO THAT. 31:18 HE KEEPS YOU FOCUSED ON THAT WHICH IS PROMINENT AND 31:23 APPROPRIATE AND BIBLICAL. SOMETIMES YOU WILL HEAR, MAYBE 31:28 INDIVIDUALS, A GROUP, MAYBE THERE ARE MORE GROUPS THAT WILL 31:31 SAY, LET'S JUST FOCUS ON JESUS. JUST -- ONLY JESUS. 31:36 LET'S NOT GET INTO ALL OF THIS OTHER STUFF AND BELIEFS. 31:40 JUST JESUS. WELL, ONE HAS TO UNDERSTAND THAT 31:47 JESUS, HIMSELF, ASKED US TO GO UNTO ALL THE LORD AND TO TEACH 31:53 THOSE THINGS WHICH I HAVE ASKED YOU TO TEACH AND TO OBSERVE 31:58 THOSE THINGS. GOD HAS GIVEN TO US, BEGINNING 32:03 WITH THE TEN COMMANDMENTS -- YOU WROTE A BOOK ON THE TEN 32:06 COMMANDMENTS, DANNY, BEGINNING WITH THE VERY STRUCTURE OF WHO 32:10 GOD IS, AND HOW HE FUNCTIONS. HEAVEN IS A PLACE OF COMPLETE 32:16 ORDER. EVERYTHING IS CAREFULLY 32:19 ORGANIZED, AND STRUCTURE WITHIN THE CHURCH DOCTERNAL BELIEFS. 32:36 HE EXPLAINS THINGS IN A POWERFUL WAY, AND HELPS US HOW TO 32:47 UNDERSTAND HOW WE CAN LEARN ABOUT THAT LOVE. 32:50 WE HAVE 28 FUND MENTAL BELIFS. AND EVERY ONE OF THOSE HAS JESUS 33:08 AT THE VERY CORE. YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT 33:10 EVERYTHING IS FOCUSED UPON CHRIST. 33:12 >> UH-HUH. >> AND THOSE INDIVIDUALS OR A 33:16 GROUP OR TWO OR WHOEVER, WHO MAY SAY LET'S JUST FOCUS ON CHRIST 33:23 ONLY, YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND THAT THAT'S WHAT THE SEVENTH-DAY 33:25 ADVENTIST CHRCH IS DOING, AND MUST DO, BECAUSE CHRIST'S 33:31 RIGHTEOUSNESS, HIS GRACE, HIS JUSTIFYING POWER, AND HIS 33:38 GLORIFYING POWER IS ALL DUE TO JESUS CHIST. 33:41 WE HAVE NO OTHER WAY TO HAV AND ACCEPT THROUGH JESUS. 33:47 YOU READ IN 1 CORINTHIANS 1:30, BUT OF HIM YOU ARE IN CHRIST 33:55 JESUS WHO CAME FOR US WISDOM FROM GOD AND RIGHTEOUSNESS AND 34:02 SANCTIFICATION AND REDEMPTION. AND THEN ANOTHER TEXT IN 2 34:09 CORINTHIANS 5 -- WHICH I BELIEVE IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL 34:15 VERSES THAT YOU COULD EVER READ IN VERSUS 21, FOR HE -- THAT'S 34:20 THE FATHER, MADE HIM, JESUS, WHO KNEW NO SIN THAT WE MIGHT BECOME 34:31 THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD IN JESUS. 34:38 MAGNIFICENT. SO SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, AND 34:41 ALL CHRISTIANS OUGHT TO BE GREAT PROMOTERS OF CHRIST AND HIS 34:47 RIGHTEOUSNESS, BUT REMEMBERING THAT THE LORD HAS GIVEN US A 34:51 FRAMEWORK AS TO HOW TO GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER. 34:54 HOW TO FOLLOW WHAT HE WANTS US TO UNDERSTAND. 34:57 SO WHEN A GROUP MIGHT SAY SOMETHING, YOU -- YOU MAY WANT 35:02 TO ASK CERTAIN QUESTIONS, AND I WON'T READ A LOT OF QUESTIONS, 35:06 BUT I MEAN, SOMETHING LIKE HOW DO YOU SEE THE DIFFERENCE OR THE 35:11 ASPECT BETWEEN THE PERSON OF CHRIST AND THE TEACHINGS OR 35:16 DOCTRINES OF CHRIST? IF SOMEONE IS JUST SAYING, JUST 35:20 TALK ABOUT JESUS. HOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND A BALANCE 35:23 OF KNOWING CHRIST AND LIVING HIS TEACHINGS? 35:27 WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO REALLY ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST? 35:31 WHAT IS THE END PRODUCT OF THAT. AND WHEN WE SAY WE ACCEPT 35:37 CHRIST, IS THIS SOME MYSTICAL CHRIST?-OR DOES IT MEAN THAT YOU ACCEPT 35:46 THE DOCTRINAL TRUTHS THAT HE HIMSELF TAUGHT. 35:50 >> OKAY. >> SO YOU HAVE GOT A LOT OF 35:54 THESE QUESTIONS EVEN ABOUT CREATION, AND HOW GOD CREATED 35:58 THIS EARTH IN SIX LATERAL DAYS, AND RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY, 36:03 AND THAT'S THE REASON FOR SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST BELIEF. 36:14 WHAT ABOUT PROPHETIC INTERPRETATION? 36:17 AND HOW DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW THE LORD IS ALLOWING THINGS TO 36:21 PROGRESS TO A POINT WHERE, SOON, THIS WORLD WILL END AND 36:27 PROPHETIC INTERPRETATION HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND THAT 36:30 YOU HAVE GOT TO ASK A LOT OF QUESTIONS OF GROUPS AND PEOPLE 36:33 WHO JUST WANT TO HAVE A -- PERHAPS SOME KIND OF A 36:40 FLOWERY NEBULOUS UNDERSTANDING OF WHO JESUS IS, WITHOUT 36:44 UNDERSTANDING THAT JESUS HAS A WAY TO SALVATION. 36:46 IT IS THROUGH HIM, AND THE JUSTIFYING AND SANCTIFYING, 36:51 LEARNING TO BE MORE AND MORE HIM, INVOLVES UNDERSTANDING WHAT 36:55 HE HAS TAUGHT. >> AMEN. 36:57 >> ACTUALLY, THE DOCTRINES ARE ALL ABOUT JESUS, AND -- AND 37:04 DEEPEN OUR PICTURE OF JESUS. >> YES. 37:10 >> WE SEE THE LOVE, THE LONG SUFFERING, THE GRACE OF JESUS, 37:15 THE MORE WE DIG INTO SCRIPTURE AND UNDERSTAND WHAT PART OF 37:20 CHRIST CHARACTER THESE DOCTRINES REALLY TEACH US ABOUT, AND 37:26 REPRESENT. >> UH-HUH. 37:27 >> SO IT'S -- WE CAN ONLY HAVE -- WITH -- WITHOUT STUDYING 37:35 DEEPLY THE WORD OF GOD WE HAVE A VERY SUPERFICIAL CONCEPT OF 37:40 JESUS. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 37:42 >> AND IT'S A VERY PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP, AND A PRACTICAL 37:48 RELATIONSHIP THAT SHOULD INFLUENCE EVERY CHOICE WE MAKE 37:52 EVERY DAY. BECAUSE WE ARE SO IN LOVE WITH 37:55 JESUS. AND HE CARES. 37:56 HE WANTS US TO BE SAFE, HAPPY, JOYFUL, AND WE CAN ONLY FIND 38:06 THAT PEACE AND FULFILLMENT IN LIFE, IF WE ARE LIVING THE LIFE 38:10 THAT HE CREATED US TO LIVE. HE HAS GIVEN US THE INSTRUCTION, 38:16 THE -- I LIKE TO THINK OF IT AS GOD'S HAPPINESS RULES. 38:20 HE KNOWS HOW TO PROTECT US, HOW TO KEEP US FROM HARM AND DANGER, 38:26 AND HOW TO HELP US LIVE A FULL LIFE. 38:29 AND WE -- WE LEARN THOSE THINGS -- THE MORE -- THE BIBLE 38:35 IS JUST AMAZING, BECAUSE THE MORE YOU READ IT, THE MORE YOU 38:39 STUDY IT, YOU ARE ALWAYS SEEING NEW -- NEW GLIMPSES IN THE LORD 38:45 AND HOW HE WORKS AND HOW HE PLANS FOR US, AND, YOU KNOW, HOW 38:48 HE LONGS TO SPEND ETERNITY WITH US. 38:52 HE DOESN'T WAT TO LOSE ONE OF US. 38:54 HE LOVES US SO DEEPLY, REGARDLESS OF THE TERRIBLE 38:59 CHOICES WE MAY HAVE MADE. HE IS LONGING TO REDEEM US, SO 39:06 RECREATE IN US -- YOU KNOW, A CHARACTER THAT WILL REPRESENT 39:12 HIM AND BRING US THAT PEACE AND JOY, SO IT'S A VERY DEEP 39:17 PERSONAL RELATIONSHIP. >> AND OF COURSE, THE ENEMY 39:21 WOULD WANT US TO NOT DELVE INTO THE WORLD, BECAUSE AS YOU READ 39:27 THE WORD, YOU FIND THE CHARACTER OF GOD, THE TRUE CHARACTER OF 39:32 GOD. SATAN IS ALWAYS TRYING TO 39:35 MISREPRESENTATIVE GOD'S CHARACTER, BUT THE BIBLE 39:39 VINDICATES GOD'S CHARACTER. SO THE MORE WE READ ABOUT HIM, 39:44 THE MORE WE GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER. 39:48 AND OF COURSE SATAN WOULD WANT US TO BE DISTRACTED BY THAT. 39:51 BECAUSE WE GET TO KNOW HIM BETTER. 39:54 >> ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE HAVE YOU EVER SEEN A 39:57 TIME THAT HE HAS SO DECEIVED PEOPLE, JUST WATCH THE NEWS, AND 40:02 THERE ARE NO RULES, THERE ARE NO -- EVERYTHING IS HOW I 40:08 BELIEVE. I WAKE UP THIS MORNING, AND SAY 40:10 I THINK I'M A WOMAN. THEN I'M A WOMAN. 40:16 SO I CAN DRESS UP IN WOMEN'S CLOTHES. 40:20 AND PEOPLE SAY THAT'S OKAY -- PLACES LIKE TARGET, SAY, 40:25 OKAY. THAT'S OKAY. 40:26 I'M NOT GOING TO TARGET BECAUSE OF THAT. 40:29 THERE'S NO RULES. AND AS YOU SAID EARLIER, THIS 40:35 UNIVERSE GOD SET UP IN SUCH PERFECT ORDER. 40:38 SO THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO SAY, DOCTRINES, BELIEFS, RULES, AND 40:43 YOU SAID, BASICALLY THEY ARE FOR OUR GOOD. 40:47 AND WE LOOK AT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AS THE TEN 40:50 PROMISES. AND THE LORD SAYS IF YOU SUBMIT 40:53 AND COMMITMENT YOUR LIFE WITH ME, I'LL HELP WITH YOU YOUR 40:58 TEMPTATION WITH ADULTERY, AND STEALING AND LYING AND WITH 41:04 BEARING FALSE WITNESS. SO PEOPLE TODAY DON'T WANT TO 41:08 HEAR THE WORLD COMMAND. I DON'T WANT ANYBODY COMMANDING 41:12 ME. THESE ARE PROMISES. 41:14 GOD SAID, IF YOU SUBMIT AND COMMIT TO ME, I PROISE YOU, I 41:20 WILL BE THERE. SO THE DEVIL WANTS TO GET US 41:24 LOOKING THE OTHER WAY, AND THIS IS NOT POLITICALLY CORRECT, 41:29 WELL, WE NEED TO DO THIS OR THAT. 41:31 SO, I MEAN, EVEN WITHIN OUR CHURCH -- I LOVE THIS CHURCH. 41:38 I TOLD PEOPLE I'M NOT JUST A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST TO BE A 41:43 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST, IF I SAW A BETTER CHURCH, THAT'S WHERE I 41:47 WOULD BE, BUT THIS IS WHERE GOD HAS LEAD ME AND IN MY STUDIES 41:52 WITH NUMEROUS DENOMINATIONS, THIS IS WHERE I AM. 41:57 I'M ONE BECAUSE I HAVE STUDIED IT OUT, AND SO I UNDERSTAND, AND 42:02 SO TODAY, THE DEVIL WANTS TO DISTRACT ALL OF OUR YOUNG 42:05 PEOPLE, AND ALL OF US TO JUST -- WELL, THESE ARE RULES 42:09 AND REGULATIONS, AND AS SHE SAID, LET'S JUST TALK ABOUT 42:13 JESUS AND NOT WORRY ABOUT THESE OTHER THINGS. 42:15 >> YEAH, THIS IS NOT LEGALISM. THIS IS NOT SOME DOCTERNAL, THIS 42:32 IS GOD'S SENSE. BECAUSE HE WANTS A PROPHETIC 42:42 MOVEMENT, A PROPHETIC MESSAGE. A PROPHETIC MISSION. 42:48 PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND THAT THEY ARE BEING LEAD BY THE HOLY 42:51 SPIRIT TO DO SOMETHING AT VERY UNIQUE AT THEN OF TIME. 42:56 THAT'S WHY GOD WANTS TO DRAW HIS PEOPLE INTO A COVENANT 42:59 RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM, SO THEY WILL BE EMPOWERED TO PROCLAIM 43:06 NOT ONLY WITH WORD, BUT WIT ACTION. 43:09 THIS IS NOT LEGALISM. THIS IS CHRIST-CENTERED 43:14 RIGHTEOUSNESS. I MEAN YOU GO TO THE THREE 43:18 ANGELS' MESSAGES. ALL RIGHT. 43:21 THIS IS THREE ANGELS BROADCASTING NETWORK. 43:26 AND WE LOOK AT THEM IN REVELATION 14. 43:33 YOU SEE THEM SAYING WITH A LOUD VOICE, FEAR GOD OR HAVE RESPECT 43:38 FOR GOD, AND GIVE GLORY TO HIM. THE ONE WHO -- WHO MADE HEAVEN 43:42 AND EARTH. I MEAN THIS IS MAGNIFICENT 43:46 UNDERSTANDING OF WHO GOD IS. DRAWING PEOPLE BACK TO THEM. 43:49 AND THE SECOND ANGEL, BEGINNING WITH VERSE 8 THERE. 43:55 BABYLON HAS FALLEN. BABYLON WHICH IS A MIXING OF 44:00 HUMAN AND TRUTH, WHICH BECOMES VERY MISERABLE KIND OF -- OF 44:07 TEACHING, AND IT SAYS BABYLON HAS FALLEN BECAUSE SHE HAS MADE 44:11 ALL NATIONS DRINK OF THE WINE OF THE WRATH OF HER FORNICATION. 44:17 PEOPLE HAVE BOUGHT INTO A MIXTURE OF ERROR AND TRUTHS 44:23 BECAUSE THEY HAVEN'T BEEN LOOKING AT THE WORD OF GOD. 44:26 THE WORD OF GOD -- AND WE CAN TOUCH ON THIS TOO. 44:31 THE AUTHORITY OF GOD'S WORD IS BEING CHALLENGED SO MUCH TODAY. 44:35 IT HAS BECOME A SETTING OF WHAT DO YOU THINK? 44:39 OR WHAT DOES YOUR CHAT ROOM SAY? OR WHAT DOES YOUR BLOG SAY? 44:44 AS OPPOSED TO WHAT DOES THE LORD SAY? 44:48 WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT WHAT THE LORD SAYS. 44:51 AND EVERYBODY GIVES THEIR OPINION. 44:54 SO BABYLON SHOWS US CONFUSION TODAY. 44:58 >> OKAY. >> AND THEN OF COURSE, IT SAYS 45:01 IN THE THIRD ANGEL. IT IS REALLY CALLING PEOPLE OUT 45:04 OF THIS.-THE FOURTH ANGEL IN REVELATION 18, PULLS PEOPLE OUT, CALLS THEM 45:10 TO A BETTER WAY. TO TRULY UNDERSTAND GOD'S TRUTH. 45:14 BUT THE THIRD ANGEL SAYS IF ANYONE IS GOING TO WORSHIP THE 45:20 BEAST IN HIS IMAGE, ARE THOSE WHO PARTAKE OF THIS CONFUSING 45:26 RELIGION, A MIXTURE OF ERROR AFTER TRUTH, THEN THEY ARE GOING 45:30 TO RECEIVE A MARK IN THEIR FOREHEAD OR THEIR HAND. 45:34 AND GOD IS -- CALLING FOR US TO RECEIVE HIS SEAL. 45:41 HIS CONNECTION. AND ONE OF THE MAIN WAYS IS, IF 45:46 YOU LOVE ME, KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. 45:51 THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAID. SO ARE WE GOING TO CALL JESUS A 45:56 LEGALIST? NO. 45:57 HIS BELIEFS WERE CENTRAL TO ALL THAT HE TAUGHT, AND THEN IT SAYS 46:02 IN THAT BEAUTIFUL VERSE IN VERSE 12, HERE IS THE PATIENCE OF THE 46:07 SAINTS. HERE ARE THOSE WHAT KEEP THE 46:10 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD AND THE FAITH OF JESUS. 46:13 THIS IS THE PEOPLE GROUP THAT GOD IS CALLING FROM EVERY 46:18 RELIGIOUS BODY, FROM EVERY CULTURE, FROM EVERY LANGUAGE TO 46:22 COME TOGETHER TO UNDERSTAND THAT THERE IS A GOD WHO HAS A 46:26 BEAUTIFUL WAY PREPARED FOR THEM, IF THEY WILL -- AND YOU USED THE 46:34 RIGHT WORD. SUBMIT TO HIM. 46:36 WE ALL NEED TO SUBMIT TO GOD TO HIM LEADING OUR LIVES. 46:41 THEN THIS DOESN'T BECOME LEGALISM, AND WE SEE JESUS FOR 46:47 WHO HE IS. >> AMEN. 46:51 SATAN IS AFRAID OF TRUTH. AND BECAUSE OF THAT -- GOD HAS 46:57 ALWAYS HAD PEOPLE WHO PROCLAIM PRESENT TRUTH, AND I BELIEVE WE 47:02 ARE ABLE TO DO THAT WITH THE THREE ANGELS' MESSAGE, SO WHO 47:05 WOULD HE WORK THE HARDEST ON? SATAN WOULD WORK THE HARDEST TO 47:12 DESTROY AND DIVIDE THE CHURCH WHO IS GIVING THE TRUTH. 47:17 >> RIGHT. >> SO TODAY -- AND I THINK THIS 47:20 IS A TIME BECAUSE WE'RE TALKING TO FAMILY AND ALL, I WOULD LIKE 47:24 TO TALK ABOUT SOME OF THOSE THINGS THAT SATAN IS TRYING TO 47:29 DO WITHIN THE CHURCH. THERE'S A LOT OF FALSE INATI 47:35 INATIONS -- INTERPRETATIONS GOING AROUND. 47:40 I DON'T KNOW WHAT ALL YOU WANT TO REACH OR TALK ABOUT. 47:44 BUT WHATEVER YOU FEEL FREE, LET'S DO IT. 47:46 >> DANNY IS, SOME OF TH THINGS THAT THE DEVIL IS TRYING TO 47:52 BRING IN ARE ABERRATIONS OF TRUTH. 47:54 WE HAVE A WONDERFUL, PROPHETIC UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE. 47:58 NO ONE CAN CLAIM TO UNDERSTAND EVERY PROIF I -- PROPHECY. 48:07 WE HAVE BEEN GIVEN ENORMOUS LIGHT. 48:10 BUT THERE ARE SO MANY THINGS THAT ARE SO SOLID, YOU CAN SAY 48:18 ABSOLUTELY. WE UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS 48:20 PROPHETIC MEANING REALLY IS SIGNIFYING. 48:23 WE UNDERSTAND THAT -- THAT THE 2,300-YEAR PROPHECY IS A 48:33 MAGNIFICENT ONE. AND WE ARE LIVING IN THE VERY 48:37 ENDING OF TIME. NOW THERE ARE SOME STRANGE 48:39 THINGS GOING AROUND. THERE'S ONE ABOUT 2520, THAT 48:46 THERE'S A SPECIFIC TIME IN WHICH YOU -- YOU KNOW, IT'S PREDICTED 48:49 THAT THIS AND THIS AND THIS WILL HAPPEN. 48:52 THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SET THE DATE OF JESUS COMING. 48:56 THEY NOW FOR A FACT IT'S IN THIS MONTH -- 48:58 >> WOW. >> THE BIBLE SAYS THAT NO ONE 49:01 KNOWS EXCEPT THE FATHER. SO WHY WOULD YOU PRETEND TO BE 49:05 ABLE TO GIVE A DATE. THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SAY I KNOW 49:10 EXACTLY WHEN THE NATIONAL -- IN FACT SOMETHING IS GOING TO 49:13 HAPPEN IN APRIL 2019, BECAUSE I HAVE UNDERSTOOD -- OR SOMEONE 49:19 HAS SAID THEY UNDERSTOOD THIS AND THIS AND THIS, AND NOW 49:23 SOMETHING DRAMATIC IS GOING TO HAPPEN. 49:27 WE HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT PREDICTIONS THAT ARE NOT BASED 49:34 UPON FACTUAL BIBLICAL INFORMATION, BUT ARE A 49:40 HYPOTHESIS OF SOMEBODY, SOME IMAGINATION OF SOMEONE, AND 49:44 UNFORTUNATELY, NOT TALKING ABOUT PROPHETIC, BUT TALKING ABOUT A 49:50 VERY STRANGE MISUNDERSTANDING THAT SEEMS TO BE CAPTURING THE 49:55 ATTENTION FROM A NUMBER OF PEOPLE IS THE FACT THAT 50:01 THAT -- THAT THE GOD HEAD -- GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, GOD THE 50:07 HOLY SPIRIT ARE PERHAPS NOT NECESSARILY EQUAL OR HAVE NOT 50:13 ALWAYS EXISTED, BUT THAT THEY CAME INTO EXISTENCE, THE SON, OR 50:18 WHATEVER -- BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU, THE BIBLE IS SO CLEAR. 50:23 THE BIBLE IS SO SOLID, AND EVEN OUR CHURCH PIONEERS -- SOME OF 50:28 THEM BELIEVED TO BEGIN WITH IN THAT PARTICULAR HERESY. 50:36 BUT THEY GREW AND THEY UNDERSTOOD, AND GOD REVEALED 50:41 THINGS TO THEM, SO WE CAN -- SAY THAT GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE 50:52 SON, GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE ONE, THEY WORK TOGETHER AS ONE, 50:56 AND THEY HAVE EXISTED FROM ETERNITY, AND THEY WILL EXIST 51:01 INTO ETERNITY. >> UH-HUH. 51:04 >> SO THIS IS ONE OF THOSE STRANGE THINGS THAT PEOPLE GET 51:08 SO CONFUSED ABOUT, AND THEY SAY IF THIS PERSON DIDN'T BELIEVE 51:14 IT, THEN I THINK WE SHOULD ACCEPT THAT TOO. 51:18 BUT MANY OF THOSE PERSONS PROGRESSED AND UNDERSTOOD A 51:21 FULLER PICTURE, AND THEY HAD FULL CONFIDENCE IN THE GOD HEAD 51:27 FROM ETRNITY TO ETERNITY, SO SOME OF THESE THINGS WE HAVE TO 51:32 BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT ACCEPTING. WE HAVE TO ASK A LOT OF 51:36 QUESTIONS, AND PRAY, ASKING THE HOLY SPIRIT TO LEAD US INTO ALL 51:41 TRUTH, AND WE ARE GUARANTEED THAT THE HOLY SPIRIT WILL DO 51:45 JUST THA. >> YEAH, THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. 51:47 >> ONE OF THE THINGS I WOULD LIKE TO ASK ABOUT IS ABORTION, 51:51 AND WHAT IS THE CHURCH'S STANCE ON -- ON ABORTION? 51:54 >> WELL, I WOULD SAY MOST SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS HAVE A 52:00 GREAT RESPECT FOR THE SANCTITY OF LIFE. 52:03 >> UH-HUH. >> THAT WHEN LIFE IS FORMED, IT 52:07 IS SOMETHING, WHICH HAS BEEN GIVEN BY GOD. 52:13 GOD KNEW US IN THE WOMB OF OUR MOTHER. 52:17 HE KNEW US EVEN BEFORE OUR CREATION. 52:21 HE UNDERSTANDS AND KNOWS AND BELIEVES IN THIS WONDERFUL 52:26 ABILITY TO SEE A HUMAN BEING DEVELOPED BECAUSE HE IS THE ONE 52:30 WHO CREATED THEM. SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS WOULD 52:35 HAVE GREAT RESPECT FOR THE SANCTITY OF LIFE AND FOR 52:39 AVOIDING ABORTION IN ALMOST EVERY RESPECT. 52:44 I'M REALLY SHOCKED AT WHAT ONE OF THE STATES HAS RECENTLY DONE. 52:48 >> UH-HUH. >> WITH -- ESSENTIALLY A 52:52 FULL-TERM ABORTION PROVISION. IT'S JUST -- ALMOST BEYOND 52:58 IMAGINATION. >> YEAH. 52:59 >> UH-HUH. >> BUT ABORTION AT ANY 53:01 LEVEL -- MOST SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS WOULD NOT ACCEPT 53:05 ABORTION. >> UH-HUH. 53:06 >> YOU KNOW, YOU HAVE TO CONSIDER, THOUGH, IN CERTAIN 53:11 SITUATIONS, FOR RAPE OR INCEST OR THE LIFE OF THE MOTHER -- AND 53:15 EVEN IN RAPE AND INCEST, SOME PEOPLE WOULD SAY, WELL, YOU 53:19 KNOW, IT'S LIFE AND WE NEED TO RESPECT THAT, SO THERE ARE SOME 53:25 DIFFERING OPINIONS ON THAT. BUT ESSENTIALLY SEVENTH-DAY 53:31 ADVENTISTS ARE GREAT SUPPORTERS OF THE SANCTITY OF LIFE. 53:35 AND I HOPE THAT ALL SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS WILL GIVE NOT ONLY 53:39 LIP SERVICE BUT STRONG EMPHASIS TO UNDERSTANDING THAT WE NEED TO 53:43 PRESERVE LIFE AND NOT TO TAKE IT. 53:45 >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I MEAN THAT'S NO DIFFERENT TO ME 53:49 THAN SOME PEOPLE SAYING, IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE 53:53 WHICH DAY YOU KEEP, JUST AS LONG AS YOU KEEP ONE. 53:56 SO TO SAY IF IT'S RAPE OR INCEST, THAT MAY BE 54:01 DIFFERENT -- I MEAN, I DON'T KNOW HOW WE CAN SEPARATE THAT, 54:04 AND SAY, IT'S OKAY TO KILL THAT BABY, BECAUSE IF LIFE IS 54:09 IMPORTANT, AND GOD -- YOU KNOW. I DON'T KNOW HOW YOU DO IT. 54:15 A LOT OF PEOPLE SAY -- AND MUCH OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH PEOPLE 54:20 ALIGNING THEMSELVES WITH POLITICAL PARTIES. 54:23 SO THERE ARE PEOPLE EVEN WITHIN THE CHURCH WHO WILL ALIGN 54:28 THEMSELVES WITH POLITICAL PARTIES WHO SAY ABORTION IS 54:31 OKAY, ALL THE WAY UP UNTIL ABOUT THE TIME THE BABY IS BORN, SO 54:35 WE'RE ALLOWING THAT TO BE OUR STANDARD RATHER THAN WHAT THE 54:40 BIBLE SAYS ABOUT LIFE. AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT LIFE 54:44 AND THE BEAUTY OF THAT, AND GOD ALLOWED MAN AND WOMAN TO 54:50 PROCREATE, AND GIVE US THAT ABILITY -- SO THAT WE CAN 54:53 UNDERSTAND WHAT IT IS, WHEN WE'RE RAISING OUR CHILDREN, TO 54:57 BE ABLE TO SAY, NO, YOU CAN'T RUN OUT IN THE STREET, BECUSE 55:02 GOD -- WELL, WHY, LORD, WON'T YOU LET ME? 55:06 NOW AS PARENTS WE GET A LITTLE BIT UNDERSTAND. 55:11 WE SAY GOD IS MUCH MORE PATIENT AND LOVING THAN I WILL EVER BE, 55:16 SO I THINK IT'S TIME WE AS A CHURCH, WE TALK ABOUT SOME OF 55:20 THESE THINGS BECAUSE WE PUT EMPHASIS -- AND PEOPLE HAVE SAID 55:24 IN THE PAST. YOU SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS YOU 55:27 WANT TO PUT A LOT OF EMPHASIS ON THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT, BUT I 55:32 DON'T HEAR YOU TALKING ABOUT ABORTION OR SAME-SEX MARRIAGE. 55:38 SO I'M GLAD THAT YOU ARE HERE TODAY, AND WE'RE ABLE TO 55:42 TALK -- I KNOW IT'S QUICKLY, BUT WE'RE GOING THROUGH SOME OF 55:49 THIS. >> EVERYTHING MUST BE BASED UPON 55:51 THE WORD OF GOD, AND THA'S WHERE WE FIND OUR DIRECTIVES. 55:57 CURRENTLY, WE HAVE SOME VERY DEDICATED THEOLOGIANS AND 56:03 BIBLICAL SCHOLARS, WHO ARE LOOKING AT THIS QUESTION, 56:08 HELPING TO UNDERSTAND HOW BEST THE BIBLE SHARES THIS 56:11 INFORMATION. >> UH-HUH. 56:12 >> AND OF COURSE WE CANNOT FORCE PEOPLE OR LEGISLATE PEOPLE. 56:16 WE CAN GIVE THEM THE WONDERFUL TRUTH OF SCRIPTURE. 56:19 >> RIGHT. >> AND IN THE NEAR FUTURE, THE 56:22 CHURCH IS GOING TO BE LOOKING AT THIS IN AN EVEN MORE POWERFUL 56:27 WAY TO UPLIFT AND TO HOLD BEFORE THE WORLD, THE SANCTITY OF LIFE 56:32 ACCORDING TO THE HOLY WORD OF GOD. 56:34 >> UH-HUH. >> WE TALKED TO SOMEONE NOT TOO 56:37 LONG AGO, THEIR MOTHER TRIED TO ABORT THEM TWO OR THREE TIMES, 56:43 AND IT DIDN'T WORK. THEY GOT THE SHOTS AND 56:46 EVERYTHING. AND TODAY THEY ARE CHRISTIANS 56:49 GIVING THE GOSPEL MESSAGE TO THE WORLD. 56:51 >> AMEN. >> AND I THINK OF PASTOR JOHN 56:54 LOMACANG, HIS MOTHER ABANDONED HIM AT SUCH AN EARLY AGE, AND 56:59 WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED HAD SHE ABORTED A PAN WHO IS NOW 57:04 REACHING THE WORLD FOR CHRIST AND MAKING AN IMPACT. 57:08 OF COURSE THERE ARE EXCEPTIONS AND WHEN YOU ARE TALK ABOUT THE 57:12 LIVES OF THE MOTHER, THERE ARE CERTAIN CHOICES, BUT GOD IS THE 57:18 GIVER OF LIFE AND THE GIVER OF ALL THINGS. 57:20 >> AMEN. >> I THINK IT'S OUR DUTY AND 57:24 RESPONSIBILITY TO SUPPORT WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US IN HIS WORD -- 57:28 >> ABSOLUTELY. >> -- AND WE'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND 57:31 THE BEAUTY OF LIFE UNTIL WE GET TO HEAVEN. 57:35 I CANNOT BELIEVE THE FIRST HOUR IS GONE FROM THIS PROGRAM. 57:38 BUT WE DON'T WANT YOU TO GO AWAY. 57:42 WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT TALKING WITH ELDER TED 57:45 AND NANCY WILSON. ♪ |
