Hello and welcome to 3ABN Live.
00:01:15.30\00:01:17.34
We're so glad that you
have joined us this evening.
00:01:17.37\00:01:19.67
You know, we look forward
to spending these two hours
00:01:19.71\00:01:21.54
with you each Thursday evening.
00:01:21.58\00:01:23.65
And we want to say thank you
00:01:23.68\00:01:25.01
for being a part
of the 3ABN family.
00:01:25.05\00:01:26.88
It's so great to
spend the time here with you
00:01:26.92\00:01:29.48
wherever you're
watching or listening from,
00:01:29.52\00:01:31.75
welcome to this program.
00:01:31.79\00:01:33.36
And I want to just say thank you
00:01:33.39\00:01:34.72
for your prayers
and financial support
00:01:34.76\00:01:36.42
for the Ministry of 3ABN.
00:01:36.46\00:01:38.06
You know this
evening, I'm encouraged.
00:01:38.09\00:01:41.36
And why is that?
00:01:41.40\00:01:42.73
Every day with Jesus is
sweeter than the day before.
00:01:42.76\00:01:45.83
You know I got
that line this morning
00:01:45.87\00:01:47.64
because the chairman
of our board Bruce Farley.
00:01:47.67\00:01:50.54
He called me up, and he tends
00:01:50.57\00:01:51.91
to get up very
early in the morning.
00:01:51.94\00:01:53.27
He'll call us early in
the morning to you, Danny.
00:01:53.31\00:01:54.64
Yeah, he's in
Oregon. He's in Oregon.
00:01:54.68\00:01:57.11
So he called up and I
just answered the phone.
00:01:57.15\00:01:58.81
I said, "Good
morning, Mr. Farley."
00:01:58.85\00:02:00.38
And he didn't say
hello or anything.
00:02:00.42\00:02:01.75
All he says is,
"Every day with Jesus
00:02:01.78\00:02:03.92
is sweeter than the day before."
00:02:03.95\00:02:05.59
And in case you
haven't heard this song,
00:02:05.62\00:02:06.96
it goes like this,
00:02:06.99\00:02:08.32
every day with Jesus is
sweeter than the day before.
00:02:08.36\00:02:11.06
Every day with Jesus,
I love Him more and more.
00:02:11.09\00:02:15.13
Jesus saves and He keeps me
00:02:15.16\00:02:18.10
and He's the
one I'm waiting for.
00:02:18.13\00:02:20.34
Every day with Jesus is
sweeter than the day before.
00:02:20.37\00:02:23.87
Amen.
00:02:23.91\00:02:25.24
We all can be encouraged, right?
00:02:25.27\00:02:26.61
Because Jesus loves
us and we need to submit
00:02:26.64\00:02:28.24
and commit our lives
to Jesus every single day.
00:02:28.28\00:02:30.45
Can't get any better than that
00:02:30.48\00:02:31.81
than having Jesus right with us.
00:02:31.85\00:02:33.45
So this is gonna be
a great program today.
00:02:33.48\00:02:35.18
We call it 3ABN
Behind the Scenes.
00:02:35.22\00:02:37.32
There's a lot of
things going on here.
00:02:37.35\00:02:38.69
We want to talk
about campaign that
00:02:38.72\00:02:40.09
we just came through,
00:02:40.12\00:02:41.52
looking forward to fall camp
meeting and a lot of new things
00:02:41.56\00:02:43.93
we're gonna be
talking about and also talking
00:02:43.96\00:02:45.56
with the Raffertys too,
00:02:45.59\00:02:46.93
which is a great
addition to 3ABN as well.
00:02:46.96\00:02:48.36
I'm excited about that.
00:02:48.40\00:02:50.07
We talked about
them a few weeks ago
00:02:50.10\00:02:52.30
joining the 3ABN team
00:02:52.33\00:02:53.67
but we have them
with us via Skype
00:02:53.70\00:02:55.04
and we want to talk with them.
00:02:55.07\00:02:56.40
But maybe we should introduce
the rest of the team over here.
00:02:56.44\00:02:57.77
Yes, I'm
getting so excited. Yes.
00:02:57.81\00:02:59.31
I'm out of order.
00:02:59.34\00:03:00.68
Then next hour as well,
00:03:00.71\00:03:02.21
we'll be
trading out some guests.
00:03:02.24\00:03:03.78
And we'll be hearing
some exciting updates
00:03:03.81\00:03:05.95
how 3ABN is expanding into Cuba.
00:03:05.98\00:03:08.52
How 3ABN is expanding
into Uganda, how in Nigeria.
00:03:08.55\00:03:12.39
Nigeria, that's right.
00:03:12.42\00:03:13.76
And how 3ABN is
expanding into prisons.
00:03:13.79\00:03:15.92
So just excited
tonight to talk to you
00:03:15.96\00:03:18.79
about this ministry
00:03:18.83\00:03:20.23
and how this
gospel of the kingdom
00:03:20.26\00:03:22.43
is being preached
into all the world.
00:03:22.46\00:03:24.43
Yes, amen.
00:03:24.47\00:03:25.80
What a privilege to
be part of the ministry.
00:03:25.83\00:03:27.60
We have Mr. Danny Shelton,
00:03:27.64\00:03:29.54
founder and
corporate consultant for 3ABN,
00:03:29.57\00:03:31.57
always love having you here.
00:03:31.61\00:03:33.04
I'm always thrilled
to be here with you all.
00:03:33.07\00:03:34.71
You do such a great job
00:03:34.74\00:03:36.11
and feel so blessed
in to be here with you.
00:03:36.14\00:03:39.75
It's great to interact.
00:03:39.78\00:03:41.55
So I'm sure that
we have phone lines
00:03:41.58\00:03:43.42
and emails before
the programs over,
00:03:43.45\00:03:45.65
will encourage
people to call or write.
00:03:45.69\00:03:47.59
Let us know how you
feeling prayer request
00:03:47.62\00:03:49.66
anything that's on your mind.
00:03:49.69\00:03:51.03
But this is great,
00:03:51.06\00:03:52.39
because when you do
live program and I love it.
00:03:52.43\00:03:54.23
So, you know, it's a
time that you can get together
00:03:54.26\00:03:58.40
with a folk and hear what they,
00:03:58.43\00:04:00.17
you know what they have to say.
00:04:00.20\00:04:01.54
But God has
blessed this ministry
00:04:01.57\00:04:04.47
for 30, almost 37 years.
00:04:04.51\00:04:06.21
Yes.
00:04:06.24\00:04:07.58
And it's amazing
to me that He saw this
00:04:07.61\00:04:09.68
before the
foundation of the world
00:04:09.71\00:04:11.31
and He saw that you
all would be here Shelley,
00:04:11.35\00:04:13.38
you and JD would be here.
00:04:13.42\00:04:14.78
He knew where we'd be.
00:04:14.82\00:04:16.15
He knows where you are, where,
00:04:16.18\00:04:17.79
what you would be doing
00:04:17.82\00:04:19.32
in the closing
moments of earth's history.
00:04:19.35\00:04:21.32
So if we're not doing very much,
00:04:21.36\00:04:23.63
then maybe hope I know he did.
00:04:23.66\00:04:25.59
He saw ahead that
we're going to change,
00:04:25.63\00:04:27.26
we're going to do more than
what we are doing right now.
00:04:27.30\00:04:29.73
So tonight, I just encouraged.
00:04:29.76\00:04:31.77
Thank you for joining us.
00:04:31.80\00:04:33.13
And thank you for your prayers
00:04:33.17\00:04:34.50
and financial
support of this ministry
00:04:34.54\00:04:36.64
as we continue
to take the gospel
00:04:36.67\00:04:38.14
to the world.
00:04:38.17\00:04:39.51
I love hearing the
reports of growing.
00:04:39.54\00:04:41.44
Now somebody says,
00:04:41.48\00:04:42.81
Well, I thought you
already reached the world."
00:04:42.84\00:04:44.18
Well, we do reach the
world but not every...
00:04:44.21\00:04:47.12
We're trying to find new venues,
00:04:47.15\00:04:49.28
communication
highways to get in through
00:04:49.32\00:04:51.15
different TV stations,
00:04:51.19\00:04:52.62
different cable systems,
internet, different ways.
00:04:52.65\00:04:54.89
You're right.
00:04:54.92\00:04:56.26
So getting into
these countries like Cuba,
00:04:56.29\00:04:58.26
we've always had the technology
00:04:58.29\00:04:59.89
there for the
last number of years.
00:04:59.93\00:05:01.26
People could get it,
00:05:01.30\00:05:02.63
but like in Cuba
was against the law,
00:05:02.66\00:05:04.13
they couldn't do it.
00:05:04.17\00:05:05.50
And now these
miraculous changes.
00:05:05.53\00:05:07.20
Amen.
00:05:07.24\00:05:08.57
Now we have launched tonight
00:05:08.60\00:05:09.94
and I know we're not really
talking about it this hour.
00:05:09.97\00:05:11.31
But I'm just so excited.
00:05:11.34\00:05:12.67
We have been talking for months
00:05:12.71\00:05:14.14
that we are coming,
and it's going to happen,
00:05:14.18\00:05:17.38
but it has happened.
00:05:17.41\00:05:18.75
So Praise the Lord.
00:05:18.78\00:05:20.12
We're going to talk about that.
00:05:20.15\00:05:21.48
And I was just
going to reference,
00:05:21.52\00:05:22.85
we have your beautiful
wife on with us the second hour.
00:05:22.88\00:05:26.25
I know she's not here right now.
00:05:26.29\00:05:27.62
All right.
00:05:27.66\00:05:28.99
She wasn't raptured,
we don't believe in that.
00:05:29.02\00:05:30.66
So she is here
somewhere. That's right.
00:05:30.69\00:05:32.56
Will be here in a
bit. That's right.
00:05:32.59\00:05:34.00
Of course, we have here
00:05:34.03\00:05:35.36
Sister Shelley
Quinn, we love you and JD,
00:05:35.40\00:05:37.57
you are new
program development manager
00:05:37.60\00:05:39.80
and producer and
just a woman of God
00:05:39.83\00:05:42.40
and woman of the Word.
00:05:42.44\00:05:44.14
And thank you for being here.
00:05:44.17\00:05:45.51
It's wonderful to be here.
00:05:45.54\00:05:47.01
And as you were talking about
everything that's going on,
00:05:47.04\00:05:50.08
I was thinking about
what the Lord impressed you
00:05:50.11\00:05:53.28
before the
beginning of the year.
00:05:53.31\00:05:55.45
You came in and announced that
00:05:55.48\00:05:57.62
we always have a
theme for the year end.
00:05:57.65\00:05:59.52
Greg came in and announced,
this is the year of expansion.
00:05:59.55\00:06:03.99
And we're all, you know,
00:06:04.03\00:06:05.53
we go 90 miles an
hour all the time.
00:06:05.56\00:06:09.60
Now we're going 120
miles per hour, of course.
00:06:09.63\00:06:12.47
But it is so exciting
to see how God is reaching.
00:06:12.50\00:06:18.31
I'm expecting China next.
00:06:18.34\00:06:20.64
Praise the Lord.
00:06:20.68\00:06:23.14
And I've shared this story
00:06:23.18\00:06:24.51
before I will once
again very careful,
00:06:24.55\00:06:26.92
I'm not saying
the name of the person
00:06:26.95\00:06:28.85
who told me this.
00:06:28.88\00:06:30.22
But there was a
professor who was in doing...
00:06:30.25\00:06:35.82
Oh, I don't remember
00:06:35.86\00:06:37.19
what country was
in, maybe Turkey,
00:06:37.23\00:06:38.66
but he was doing some
seminars and he was contacted.
00:06:38.69\00:06:43.43
Somebody wanted to
bring him into Saudi Arabia.
00:06:43.47\00:06:46.43
And he said, he knew it
was against the law to do that.
00:06:46.47\00:06:51.54
But it's like,
Lord, are You sending me.
00:06:51.57\00:06:53.88
So when he went
in with this person,
00:06:53.91\00:06:56.91
he walked into a
room filled with imams
00:06:56.95\00:07:01.25
and he thought this is a setup.
00:07:01.28\00:07:03.75
I'm going to be
arrested. This is it.
00:07:03.79\00:07:07.12
And he said that one
of them bumped the remote,
00:07:07.16\00:07:11.73
it came on, it was 3ABN,
00:07:11.76\00:07:14.43
and come to find out
00:07:14.46\00:07:15.80
that's why they had invited him.
00:07:15.83\00:07:17.33
They'd all been watching
3ABN, so it is such, you know,
00:07:17.37\00:07:22.40
God is working
in incredible ways.
00:07:22.44\00:07:26.21
Yeah, amen to that.
00:07:26.24\00:07:28.31
I'm thinking Mr. Danny too,
00:07:28.34\00:07:29.68
it's always been 3ABN's
vision commission of the Lord
00:07:29.71\00:07:32.21
and that's to go.
00:07:32.25\00:07:33.58
You know and I like that.
00:07:33.62\00:07:34.95
No, we're not in
the side of stop, right?
00:07:34.98\00:07:36.32
We're on the side of go
as Larry Wolfe would say.
00:07:36.35\00:07:38.12
Yeah. Absolutely.
00:07:38.15\00:07:39.49
And I want to
say too, Mr. Danny,
00:07:39.52\00:07:40.86
you're talking about
you know God saw, you know,
00:07:40.89\00:07:42.22
3ABN where it is
00:07:42.26\00:07:43.59
but he saw you saying
yes to His call 37 years ago.
00:07:43.63\00:07:47.03
You know, because
if you hadn't said yes,
00:07:47.06\00:07:48.60
3ABN wouldn't be where it
is, you know, today at all,
00:07:48.63\00:07:51.43
it wouldn't even
be here so, you know,
00:07:51.47\00:07:53.00
we just praise the Lord for you
saying yes to that call of God.
00:07:53.03\00:07:56.50
And I know you at home too.
00:07:56.54\00:07:57.87
We know many of
you have been blessed.
00:07:57.91\00:07:59.31
We receive many letters
00:07:59.34\00:08:00.68
and I want to
read that really quick
00:08:00.71\00:08:02.04
before we introduce the
Raffertys to you via Skype.
00:08:02.08\00:08:05.21
This just came in.
00:08:05.25\00:08:06.58
We received so
much email and letters.
00:08:06.61\00:08:08.28
Well, this one came snail mail,
not gonna mention the name,
00:08:08.32\00:08:11.65
mentioned about
how they enjoy 3ABN.
00:08:11.69\00:08:13.15
At the end it says,
00:08:13.19\00:08:14.52
"I listen to
many of your seminars
00:08:14.56\00:08:16.49
and sermons and
enjoy your Bible studies
00:08:16.52\00:08:18.93
and your praise
programs on Sunday mornings,
00:08:18.96\00:08:21.56
camp meetings and
health topics and shows."
00:08:21.60\00:08:25.13
Then they put a little
asterisk little star PS.
00:08:25.17\00:08:27.97
"I'm a Methodist.
00:08:28.00\00:08:29.34
But seriously,
00:08:29.37\00:08:30.71
I'm thinking about
becoming a Sabbath keeper.
00:08:30.74\00:08:32.64
I am interested in receiving
00:08:32.67\00:08:34.58
copies of your
Bible study guides.
00:08:34.61\00:08:36.75
God bless you." Amen.
00:08:36.78\00:08:38.11
There are people everywhere,
they're searching for truth.
00:08:38.15\00:08:41.32
We're going to be
talking a little bit more
00:08:41.35\00:08:42.68
about Focus on Truth.
00:08:42.72\00:08:44.05
But I want to just
touch back on that.
00:08:44.09\00:08:45.42
Thank you for your prayers
00:08:45.45\00:08:46.79
and financial
support Mr. Danny mentioned
00:08:46.82\00:08:48.16
because you're
making a difference
00:08:48.19\00:08:49.52
in other people's
lives for eternity,
00:08:49.56\00:08:51.26
and it can't get
any better than that.
00:08:51.29\00:08:53.43
Amen.
00:08:53.46\00:08:54.80
Speaking of the
Raffertys, let's go to them now.
00:08:54.83\00:08:56.70
We have them present via Skype
all the way on the west coast.
00:08:56.73\00:09:00.44
Of course,
Pastor James Rafferty,
00:09:00.47\00:09:02.30
his wife Rise,
and just maybe a month
00:09:02.34\00:09:05.87
just over a month ago,
00:09:05.91\00:09:07.78
you all joined
officially the 3ABN team,
00:09:07.81\00:09:11.98
Pastor James Rafferty as
3ABN Director of Discipleship.
00:09:12.01\00:09:16.25
And his wife Rise is
3ABN health ministries,
00:09:16.28\00:09:19.72
and we're just delighted
to have you all with us.
00:09:19.75\00:09:24.09
It's so good to be
part of the 3ABN team.
00:09:24.13\00:09:27.90
And we are thankful for the
way God has been blessing us.
00:09:27.93\00:09:32.77
Reports that we're
hearing this morning and,
00:09:32.80\00:09:35.30
of course, for
so many years that
00:09:35.34\00:09:36.67
we've worked with have
been a real blessing up.
00:09:36.71\00:09:40.31
We've always worked remotely,
you know in the far districts,
00:09:40.34\00:09:44.35
and now we're
part of the 3ABN team,
00:09:44.38\00:09:46.92
and we're thankful first.
00:09:46.95\00:09:51.19
Amen.
00:09:51.22\00:09:52.55
Yeah, I know that
00:09:52.59\00:09:53.92
they, Raffertys
have been a part of 3ABN.
00:09:53.96\00:09:55.29
Mr. Danny, you know,
way before I came to 3ABN,
00:09:55.32\00:09:57.69
almost from the very beginning
00:09:57.73\00:09:59.06
you've been
working with Pastor James.
00:09:59.09\00:10:00.43
Yeah, absolutely.
00:10:00.46\00:10:01.80
I know, it had to be in,
you know, middle or late '80s,
00:10:01.83\00:10:05.30
something like that, you know,
00:10:05.33\00:10:06.67
we went on the
air full time in '86.
00:10:06.70\00:10:08.70
And it wasn't long after that,
00:10:08.74\00:10:10.21
I heard about
these two young guys,
00:10:10.24\00:10:11.91
you know, James and Ty.
00:10:11.94\00:10:14.34
And so we ended
up interviewing them.
00:10:14.38\00:10:15.84
And then, of course,
00:10:15.88\00:10:17.21
we've been working
together for a long time,
00:10:17.25\00:10:18.58
but what a blessing,
what a privilege to have both.
00:10:18.61\00:10:21.42
He and Rise joined
the 3ABN full time,
00:10:21.45\00:10:24.69
I mean, that's
like a dream to me.
00:10:24.72\00:10:26.05
Me too.
00:10:26.09\00:10:27.42
James and I've talked, you know,
00:10:27.46\00:10:28.79
a little about it from
00:10:28.82\00:10:30.16
time to time of working together
00:10:30.19\00:10:31.63
and the Lord made
it reality even though
00:10:31.66\00:10:34.33
it didn't seem like
even a year or so ago that
00:10:34.36\00:10:37.17
that's the
direction then you know,
00:10:37.20\00:10:39.70
he just the family,
00:10:39.73\00:10:41.34
everybody, we
just pray about it.
00:10:41.37\00:10:42.90
Lord's will, His
timing. That's right.
00:10:42.94\00:10:44.74
And all of a
sudden things worked out.
00:10:44.77\00:10:46.57
And so, praise the
Lord that you're...
00:10:46.61\00:10:48.91
You've always been on our team
00:10:48.94\00:10:50.45
but officially have
joined with 3ABN to be 3ABN,
00:10:50.48\00:10:54.75
you know, coworkers here.
00:10:54.78\00:10:56.12
It's great to be
working with y'all.
00:10:56.15\00:10:57.72
Amen. Amen.
00:10:57.75\00:11:01.39
So I'm gonna start with
Rise, maybe ladies first,
00:11:01.42\00:11:05.43
I don't know, but,
Rise, tell us about
00:11:05.46\00:11:08.06
some of the
exciting new health fillers
00:11:08.10\00:11:12.00
and programs that
you're working on?
00:11:12.03\00:11:14.57
You're incredibly
gifted, a woman of God
00:11:14.60\00:11:17.14
and you have great
knowledge of health.
00:11:17.17\00:11:19.44
And then maybe let's
touch on the brand new
00:11:19.47\00:11:22.34
3ABN blog that
launches next month?
00:11:22.38\00:11:27.85
Great.
00:11:27.88\00:11:29.22
So I don't
consider myself perfect
00:11:29.25\00:11:31.45
like bunch of you.
00:11:31.49\00:11:32.82
Look at myself as
a lifelong learner.
00:11:32.85\00:11:36.52
I love to learn
and love to be share
00:11:36.56\00:11:39.49
what I learned translates
that make it's understandable
00:11:39.53\00:11:42.76
or accessible by people
who maybe as nerdy as I am.
00:11:42.80\00:11:47.00
So you know, I too do
the research and learn.
00:11:47.04\00:11:49.94
So that's one of my passions,
00:11:49.97\00:11:52.77
and I'm so thrilled to
be able to use it at 3ABN.
00:11:52.81\00:11:56.31
So you mentioned fillers.
00:11:56.34\00:11:58.11
And when we went
through our interview process,
00:11:58.15\00:12:02.22
one of the things you mentioned
00:12:02.25\00:12:03.59
was that having
fillers was a desperate need.
00:12:03.62\00:12:06.22
And I thought that,
Lord, said, all right,
00:12:06.25\00:12:08.56
let's focus on that
and that idea of looking
00:12:08.59\00:12:13.03
at scripture through
the eyes of a foodie,
00:12:13.06\00:12:14.96
which is what I am.
00:12:15.00\00:12:16.73
And so, we're taking one minute,
00:12:16.77\00:12:19.33
what I mean
half minute segments,
00:12:19.37\00:12:22.07
and looking at a verse
00:12:22.10\00:12:23.91
and looking at it
just through my own lens.
00:12:23.94\00:12:29.34
So you said scripture...
And obviously with the...
00:12:29.38\00:12:32.25
I know the Holy
Spirit to, you know,
00:12:32.28\00:12:34.02
be the one who's
inspiring and not just?
00:12:34.05\00:12:38.79
Yeah, absolutely.
00:12:38.82\00:12:40.29
You said you
kind of just a moment
00:12:40.32\00:12:41.66
with the audio there.
00:12:41.69\00:12:43.02
But you said scripture
through the eyes of a foodie.
00:12:43.06\00:12:44.89
Is that what you
said? I love that.
00:12:44.93\00:12:49.06
Through the yes of
a foodie. Go ahead.
00:12:49.10\00:12:51.27
Pastor, go ahead. Hey,
I'm feeling really good.
00:12:51.30\00:12:54.70
She's been throwing and
asked me just to get input.
00:12:54.74\00:12:58.14
And I have
hardly any edits take.
00:12:58.17\00:13:00.31
Yeah, they're just,
they're gonna be great.
00:13:00.34\00:13:03.78
And we record those next month.
00:13:03.81\00:13:05.61
I know, we'll be doing
that and excited about that.
00:13:05.65\00:13:08.48
Then talk to us
about the 3ABN blog
00:13:08.52\00:13:10.59
because 3ABN has
not had a blog before,
00:13:10.62\00:13:13.15
we are just launching it.
00:13:13.19\00:13:15.36
You can go to 3ABN's
website and access it there.
00:13:15.39\00:13:17.99
What is a block?
00:13:18.03\00:13:19.36
As someone may be saying,
00:13:19.39\00:13:20.73
you know,
exactly what is a blog?
00:13:20.76\00:13:22.20
Is that like a frog or
you know, which is a blog.
00:13:22.23\00:13:24.57
So maybe explain what that is?
00:13:24.60\00:13:26.33
Rise, you want to
talk to us about that?
00:13:26.37\00:13:28.20
What's a blog?
00:13:28.24\00:13:30.67
Well, I don't know
the accurate definition,
00:13:30.71\00:13:32.77
I'm going to tell you
what we're going to do.
00:13:32.81\00:13:34.24
And that is four of
us are teaming together
00:13:34.28\00:13:36.28
to provide fresh,
00:13:36.31\00:13:38.08
new weekly articles
that are going to be
00:13:38.11\00:13:41.38
from the heart
00:13:41.42\00:13:42.75
and pertinent on
different subjects
00:13:42.78\00:13:44.65
that each four of us
00:13:44.69\00:13:46.02
are kind of
encompassing, obviously,
00:13:46.05\00:13:49.69
mine is going to be
more health related.
00:13:49.72\00:13:51.69
We have one that's going
to be more recovery related,
00:13:51.73\00:13:55.26
another one
physical identity in Christ.
00:13:55.30\00:13:59.67
And then another
one kind of taking us
00:13:59.70\00:14:01.70
through the Christ's wisdom,
00:14:01.74\00:14:03.20
and what does it
mean to be a wise person,
00:14:03.24\00:14:04.97
and I'm excited
about each four segments.
00:14:05.01\00:14:08.11
And so once a week,
00:14:08.14\00:14:09.48
there's going to
be fresh new articles
00:14:09.51\00:14:11.35
on the 3ABN website
00:14:11.38\00:14:13.08
where each one of
us are going to be
00:14:13.11\00:14:14.52
repeating our input,
00:14:14.55\00:14:18.22
what we've studied
what's on our hearts,
00:14:18.25\00:14:20.66
needs to be great.
00:14:20.69\00:14:22.02
Amen.
00:14:22.06\00:14:23.39
We're really excited about that.
00:14:23.43\00:14:24.76
You're an
incredibly gifted writer,
00:14:24.79\00:14:26.90
and very excited about
00:14:26.93\00:14:28.26
the new blog that
will be coming out.
00:14:28.30\00:14:29.63
There'll be a focus on
health, as you mentioned,
00:14:29.66\00:14:31.37
focus on who we are in Christ,
00:14:31.40\00:14:33.94
focus on recovery,
and then just focus
00:14:33.97\00:14:36.20
on seeking wisdom and
how to live a life well.
00:14:36.24\00:14:38.84
What decisions do
we need to make so,
00:14:38.87\00:14:40.91
excited about that.
00:14:40.94\00:14:42.28
We have two men and two women
00:14:42.31\00:14:43.65
writing for the blog.
00:14:43.68\00:14:45.01
So this will be wonderful,
00:14:45.05\00:14:46.38
we'll be on
3ABN's website in July,
00:14:46.41\00:14:48.52
and you can access it there.
00:14:48.55\00:14:49.88
Now Pastor James,
00:14:49.92\00:14:51.25
tell us about 3ABN
Director of Discipleship
00:14:51.29\00:14:54.86
and some of the new
programs that you're working on?
00:14:54.89\00:15:00.20
Well, very, very
excited about this.
00:15:00.23\00:15:02.83
I have a burden for
discipleship ministry.
00:15:02.86\00:15:06.23
And just helping people
00:15:06.27\00:15:07.80
who are maybe new to
the Bible, new to the faith,
00:15:07.84\00:15:12.37
and working with development,
00:15:12.41\00:15:14.74
their love of the Bible,
staying at home study Bibles.
00:15:14.78\00:15:18.21
So we're going to
start with the fundamentals,
00:15:18.25\00:15:22.15
the beliefs of our church
00:15:22.18\00:15:24.55
that are misunderstood by a lot.
00:15:24.59\00:15:26.92
A lot of people are
not familiar with Adventism
00:15:26.96\00:15:30.86
and what our church beliefs.
00:15:30.89\00:15:33.06
So the number one belief,
00:15:33.09\00:15:35.60
number one on our
list of beliefs as
00:15:35.63\00:15:38.30
Seventh-day
Adventist is the Bible,
00:15:38.33\00:15:40.37
the Word of God.
00:15:40.40\00:15:41.74
And it's actually
probably one of the things
00:15:41.77\00:15:45.04
that is the most
misunderstood about our church,
00:15:45.07\00:15:48.41
and makes us more
unique than any other church,
00:15:48.44\00:15:51.61
religion or denomination.
00:15:51.65\00:15:53.42
We believe in the Word
of God, 100%, Old Testament
00:15:53.45\00:15:57.39
and New Testament, all of it.
00:15:57.42\00:15:59.55
And that belief
sets the foundation
00:15:59.59\00:16:01.66
for everything that follows,
00:16:01.69\00:16:03.53
and actually makes a difference
in the way we approach God,
00:16:03.56\00:16:10.17
religion, and truth.
00:16:10.20\00:16:12.50
So we're going to be
going through both these,
00:16:12.53\00:16:15.67
and kind of giving
00:16:15.70\00:16:17.04
just a basic
biblical perspective
00:16:17.07\00:16:19.77
and compare it to
different religions
00:16:19.81\00:16:21.78
and different
beliefs and why we are,
00:16:21.81\00:16:24.21
who we are to help our listeners
00:16:24.25\00:16:27.42
and others to really understand
what Seventh-day Adventist is.
00:16:27.45\00:16:31.89
Yeah, amen.
00:16:34.96\00:16:36.29
We're looking forward to
that new series coming up.
00:16:36.32\00:16:38.99
And I know, Mr.
Danny, these new books,
00:16:39.03\00:16:40.96
The Focus on Truth, you
know, he's talking about beliefs
00:16:41.00\00:16:43.30
and what we believe in.
00:16:43.33\00:16:44.77
Yeah, the...
You've seen these books.
00:16:44.80\00:16:46.74
I know our Pastor
James, the new ones,
00:16:46.77\00:16:48.24
The Focus on Truth,
The Truth about Hellfire,
00:16:48.27\00:16:51.07
The Truth about
the Ten Commandments,
00:16:51.11\00:16:53.21
and the Truth about Salvation.
00:16:53.24\00:16:56.41
Amen.
00:16:56.44\00:16:57.78
Yeah, powerful books, Mr. Danny.
00:16:57.81\00:16:59.75
Go ahead.
00:16:59.78\00:17:01.35
I know you've
read these already.
00:17:01.38\00:17:03.79
Yeah, those are key
ways to approach people
00:17:03.82\00:17:07.86
and help them to understand
00:17:07.89\00:17:09.59
what we believe as Adventist
00:17:09.62\00:17:10.96
and what the
Bible actually teaches.
00:17:10.99\00:17:12.43
Those are the subjects.
00:17:12.46\00:17:14.16
It's interesting,
because when you look
00:17:14.20\00:17:15.73
at the Book of Revelation,
00:17:15.76\00:17:17.53
which is my
favorite book of the Bible.
00:17:17.57\00:17:20.00
You see that
Satan is doubling down
00:17:20.04\00:17:22.14
in the end of time,
00:17:22.17\00:17:24.31
in
misrepresenting God's character.
00:17:24.34\00:17:27.04
And one of the ways he does that
00:17:27.08\00:17:29.14
is through these doctrines,
00:17:29.18\00:17:31.91
or misunderstandings
of these doctrines,
00:17:31.95\00:17:33.98
such as hell,
which is identified as
00:17:34.02\00:17:36.58
one of the horses in Revelation
Chapter 6, the pale horse,
00:17:36.62\00:17:40.49
his rider is death,
and hell followed with him.
00:17:40.52\00:17:43.22
And he seeks to destroy faith.
00:17:43.26\00:17:45.49
You know, hell
represents the absence of blood,
00:17:45.53\00:17:49.80
which is a symbol of
Christ's righteousness,
00:17:49.83\00:17:52.23
Christ's salvation.
00:17:52.27\00:17:54.14
You have a horse
there that it basically
00:17:54.17\00:17:58.81
has no salvation message.
00:17:58.84\00:18:01.48
That's one of the books
that Danny's written salvation,
00:18:01.51\00:18:04.81
and uses the weapon
of hell to destroy faith.
00:18:04.85\00:18:08.42
That's another one of the
books that Daniel has written,
00:18:08.45\00:18:10.82
to help people to
understand God's character,
00:18:10.85\00:18:13.62
the truth about what
hell is and where it is,
00:18:13.66\00:18:16.73
when it takes
place, how long it lasts,
00:18:16.76\00:18:20.20
just directly connected
00:18:20.23\00:18:21.73
with truth of the
everlasting gospel.
00:18:21.76\00:18:23.60
Amen.
00:18:23.63\00:18:24.97
So really excited about it,
00:18:25.00\00:18:26.94
excited about being
able to reach more people
00:18:26.97\00:18:30.54
with the simple
basic truths of the Bible.
00:18:30.57\00:18:34.48
Praise the Lord.
00:18:34.51\00:18:36.95
James, you know,
for so many years,
00:18:36.98\00:18:39.78
we're in television,
and I didn't think much,
00:18:39.81\00:18:42.02
now we've written some
books over the past but,
00:18:42.05\00:18:44.65
you know, when I go back
and we look at, you know,
00:18:44.69\00:18:46.62
Ellen White's
statements as leaves, you know,
00:18:46.65\00:18:48.89
spread them like
the leaves of autumn.
00:18:48.92\00:18:50.26
Yes.
00:18:50.29\00:18:51.63
But it wasn't really for
me at 3ABN till COVID came,
00:18:51.66\00:18:55.33
and it looked
like the whole world
00:18:55.36\00:18:56.73
was shut down and
practically was shut down,
00:18:56.77\00:19:00.47
that I really saw the
need and is when you and Jill,
00:19:00.50\00:19:04.37
Greg asked us to write,
Yvonne and me to write a book
00:19:04.41\00:19:07.21
on about COVID.
00:19:07.24\00:19:08.58
So we did a little 16 page...
00:19:08.61\00:19:10.51
Powerful book. Amen.
00:19:10.55\00:19:11.88
Introducing people to Jesus
00:19:11.91\00:19:13.45
and then also to 3ABN
and talking about this.
00:19:13.48\00:19:16.65
It wasn't I guess until
then, because I never dreamed
00:19:16.69\00:19:20.16
that I don't
think most people did,
00:19:20.19\00:19:21.62
Shelley, that
within a year's time.
00:19:21.66\00:19:23.53
If I asked the question
on another program with them,
00:19:23.56\00:19:26.73
a year and a half
ago, if someone said,
00:19:26.76\00:19:28.26
Hey, Shelley, you
think in the next six months,
00:19:28.30\00:19:30.33
every church in the world
will be shut down, you know,
00:19:30.37\00:19:33.44
schools will be shut down.
00:19:33.47\00:19:35.14
People can't go
to anybody's homes.
00:19:35.17\00:19:37.01
You can't leave
without mask and you know,
00:19:37.04\00:19:39.44
you would have said no.
00:19:39.47\00:19:40.81
So it showed how
important it was.
00:19:40.84\00:19:43.18
And then so the Lord
gave us a burden to write
00:19:43.21\00:19:45.85
and so we're shipping
these and we'll talk about it
00:19:45.88\00:19:48.18
a little bit by
the millions though
00:19:48.22\00:19:50.05
and how to get them.
00:19:50.09\00:19:51.42
And so, though
things are opening up,
00:19:51.45\00:19:54.82
we don't know when
they're going to go back,
00:19:54.86\00:19:56.26
but it's still we
can ship these books
00:19:56.29\00:19:58.19
by zip codes to
millions of people.
00:19:58.23\00:20:00.46
We can hand deliver them,
ship them to the churches.
00:20:00.50\00:20:03.73
So, to me the
topics of, you know,
00:20:03.77\00:20:08.50
we can't let as
you say while ago,
00:20:08.54\00:20:10.61
we can't let the devil,
it's all about stop and go.
00:20:10.64\00:20:12.94
The devil says stop
and the Lord says go.
00:20:12.97\00:20:15.04
And so what are we
going to do as Christians,
00:20:15.08\00:20:17.48
Seventh-day Adventist Christians
00:20:17.51\00:20:18.85
as Three Angels
Broadcasting Network,
00:20:18.88\00:20:20.98
we've decided to be on the side
and go along and time to go.
00:20:21.02\00:20:22.68
Amen. Yes.
00:20:22.72\00:20:24.05
And God always honors
that and He blesses that.
00:20:24.09\00:20:27.02
And so, we can't
be on the side of go
00:20:27.06\00:20:29.66
and go very far
at all without you.
00:20:29.69\00:20:31.43
So thank you for your support,
00:20:31.46\00:20:33.80
your love and your
prayers and being part of this
00:20:33.83\00:20:35.66
because
actually, we're a team that
00:20:35.70\00:20:37.23
some of us are here,
some of us are over here.
00:20:37.27\00:20:39.80
And now we're used to that
because of Zoom and all these,
00:20:39.83\00:20:42.54
we have all these
meetings with people
00:20:42.57\00:20:44.21
and yet we're not where
they're virtual meetings,
00:20:44.24\00:20:46.27
we're not there.
00:20:46.31\00:20:47.68
And so we, in a sense,
00:20:47.71\00:20:49.34
done that with
television for many years
00:20:49.38\00:20:51.55
with our viewers virtually.
00:20:51.58\00:20:53.42
But in a bit,
you're going to talk about
00:20:53.45\00:20:54.88
camp meeting this fall,
00:20:54.92\00:20:56.28
maybe we can get
past some of this back
00:20:56.32\00:20:58.32
so we can hug each
other's necks, you know.
00:20:58.35\00:21:01.36
Yes. Looking forward to that.
00:21:01.39\00:21:03.46
Why don't we talk
about the books actually,
00:21:03.49\00:21:04.83
because you've just
mentioned and the call center
00:21:04.86\00:21:06.19
is actually open tonight.
00:21:06.23\00:21:07.56
And as we've mentioned
before, everyone loves a deal,
00:21:07.60\00:21:09.66
at least I do,
I'm sure you do, too.
00:21:09.70\00:21:11.47
And this is phenomenal,
00:21:11.50\00:21:12.83
an incredible
tool for evangelism.
00:21:12.87\00:21:14.47
Tell us about it? It is.
00:21:14.50\00:21:15.84
The call center
is open right now.
00:21:15.87\00:21:17.67
So as Mr. Danny
already talked about,
00:21:17.71\00:21:19.37
you have two different
options for distributing
00:21:19.41\00:21:22.48
this incredible
evangelistic tool.
00:21:22.51\00:21:24.48
The first is the
zip code mailing.
00:21:24.51\00:21:26.58
With the zip code mailing,
00:21:26.61\00:21:27.95
all three of these booklets
will be placed in an envelope,
00:21:27.98\00:21:32.02
and the envelope is beautiful,
00:21:32.05\00:21:33.39
a full color
envelope on the front.
00:21:33.42\00:21:35.36
And it was a free gift for you.
00:21:35.39\00:21:37.33
And it can be
mailed to zip codes
00:21:37.36\00:21:39.13
for 50 cents a home.
00:21:39.16\00:21:41.33
So that's less than the
cost of a postage stamp,
00:21:41.36\00:21:44.87
and neighbors in your community
00:21:44.90\00:21:46.90
would receive
three of these booklets.
00:21:46.94\00:21:50.27
That's one way you can get them,
00:21:50.31\00:21:51.74
you can do a zip code mailing.
00:21:51.77\00:21:53.38
To do that, we
want to encourage you
00:21:53.41\00:21:55.01
to call us at (618) 627-4651.
00:21:55.04\00:22:00.38
The call center
is open right now,
00:22:00.42\00:22:01.98
(618) 627-4651.
00:22:02.02\00:22:05.22
You just say, I
want to do a zip code
00:22:05.25\00:22:07.19
mailing in my
neighborhood, in my community.
00:22:07.22\00:22:09.66
Here's the zip code, and
how many addresses is that
00:22:09.69\00:22:12.33
and they have all
those details for you.
00:22:12.36\00:22:13.73
Yes.
00:22:13.76\00:22:15.10
And the other option
is you can get a case.
00:22:15.13\00:22:17.17
So you can get a case
of the book on Hellfire.
00:22:17.20\00:22:20.04
And there's 250 in a
case, so you can get a case
00:22:20.07\00:22:22.80
of the book on Ten Commandments,
00:22:22.84\00:22:24.54
or a case The
Truth about Salvation.
00:22:24.57\00:22:26.78
And it's $16.50 for one case
00:22:26.81\00:22:31.85
to be shipped to your
home in the US or your church,
00:22:31.88\00:22:35.68
and you can pass them out,
either way it's evangelism.
00:22:35.72\00:22:38.79
If the post office mails them,
or if you pass out the books,
00:22:38.82\00:22:41.76
either way it's evangelism.
00:22:41.79\00:22:43.43
So just give us a
call at (618) 627-4651.
00:22:43.46\00:22:47.93
Or you can go to our
website, that's 3abn.tv
00:22:47.96\00:22:52.57
and you can
click on the Focus on
00:22:52.60\00:22:54.04
Truth banner at the top.
00:22:54.07\00:22:55.40
And then you can order
that way as well, 3abn.tv
00:22:55.44\00:22:59.64
We can do this
because private donors
00:22:59.67\00:23:03.08
have literally
put up the finances
00:23:03.11\00:23:05.95
to basically
purchase in the publishing
00:23:05.98\00:23:08.42
and the printing of these books.
00:23:08.45\00:23:10.59
So all really you're
doing is doing a postage,
00:23:10.62\00:23:14.06
which we're getting a great deal
00:23:14.09\00:23:15.59
through Pacific Press,
00:23:15.62\00:23:16.96
because there's so
many, so much volume.
00:23:16.99\00:23:19.19
There's 6 million of
these being printed up,
00:23:19.23\00:23:21.13
2 million each
right now, Shelley.
00:23:21.16\00:23:22.50
That's amazing.
00:23:22.53\00:23:23.87
And so, if each one
so what you're doing
00:23:23.90\00:23:26.20
is you're just
paying that remnant.
00:23:26.23\00:23:27.87
And so that's why, I mean,
00:23:27.90\00:23:29.27
when you think
about it, honestly,
00:23:29.30\00:23:30.77
that's what it hit me,
the price of the stamp,
00:23:30.81\00:23:32.91
one program we had a
little stamp up there, Greg.
00:23:32.94\00:23:35.38
And so, if you wanted
to witness to somebody,
00:23:35.41\00:23:38.28
and you wanted to
do it by literature,
00:23:38.31\00:23:40.52
and you said, well, let's see,
00:23:40.55\00:23:41.88
let me get a stamp and
let me get an envelope.
00:23:41.92\00:23:44.65
Now let me decide what
I'm going to print on this
00:23:44.69\00:23:46.99
and both sides and do
all of this and you mail it,
00:23:47.02\00:23:50.29
it's more expensive, you know,
00:23:50.33\00:23:52.26
you keep adding expenses,
00:23:52.29\00:23:53.63
this 50 cents
for all three books.
00:23:53.66\00:23:56.80
So I want to thank
those who have given money,
00:23:56.83\00:23:59.23
and if you want to give money
00:23:59.27\00:24:00.60
just for printing
whatever, just say in general,
00:24:00.64\00:24:03.71
Focus on Truth books,
00:24:03.74\00:24:05.07
and we can use it
wherever we need to,
00:24:05.11\00:24:06.61
shipping or
printing or whatever we need.
00:24:06.64\00:24:09.58
So if you want to help support
00:24:09.61\00:24:11.18
because we think
there's going to be
00:24:11.21\00:24:12.55
more than the 6 million.
00:24:12.58\00:24:14.12
But what's
interesting about this
00:24:14.15\00:24:16.55
and the way
these books came about,
00:24:16.58\00:24:18.09
Shelley asked me to
mention this to you.
00:24:18.12\00:24:20.89
But Greg and Jill, as you
know, I'm not much of a planner.
00:24:20.92\00:24:24.49
I got all kinds of ideas,
00:24:24.53\00:24:25.86
but I'm not good
at planning like,
00:24:25.89\00:24:27.63
I don't like meetings and
staying in meetings very long.
00:24:27.66\00:24:30.67
You know, like okay,
what is it we're gonna do.
00:24:30.70\00:24:33.17
Okay, good, let's
do it or let's don't.
00:24:33.20\00:24:35.17
That's kind of the
way I'm brought up,
00:24:35.20\00:24:36.54
my mom used to call it.
00:24:36.57\00:24:37.91
You're a great visionary. Yes.
00:24:37.94\00:24:39.27
You are very good
visionary. A vision.
00:24:39.31\00:24:40.64
Yeah, my mom used to say,
00:24:40.68\00:24:42.01
I have a flying by
the seat of my pants.
00:24:42.04\00:24:43.38
I don't know if that's
good or bad, indifferent.
00:24:43.41\00:24:45.01
But anyway, I don't
spend a lot of time planning,
00:24:45.05\00:24:47.58
I think I'd rather, I'm a
doer, I'd rather do than plan.
00:24:47.62\00:24:50.79
So on the books we said, man,
00:24:50.82\00:24:52.59
there's so many doctrines
00:24:52.62\00:24:54.12
that we have that
people need to, to hear about.
00:24:54.16\00:24:57.76
So what should we choose?
00:24:57.79\00:24:59.93
Well, now I'm really
realizing it was the Lord.
00:24:59.96\00:25:02.66
So one of the
things I found out,
00:25:02.70\00:25:05.13
I started looking
through and, of course,
00:25:05.17\00:25:07.17
you go on the internet
and you do all of these
00:25:07.20\00:25:08.90
and looking at
different doctrines,
00:25:08.94\00:25:10.27
because I want to find out
00:25:10.31\00:25:11.64
what the Baptists believe,
the Pentecostals believe,
00:25:11.67\00:25:13.64
you know, what
we, of course, believe
00:25:13.68\00:25:15.34
and then match
all this together.
00:25:15.38\00:25:17.61
And as I went through, one
of the things is salvation.
00:25:17.65\00:25:21.15
You know, we have
tremendous amounts of literature
00:25:21.18\00:25:23.55
on the Ten Commandments
that you can get at,
00:25:23.59\00:25:25.85
and if you go on Google,
00:25:25.89\00:25:27.22
you'll see all these
different Adventist writers.
00:25:27.26\00:25:29.19
We've got them on subjects like
hell, the state of the dead,
00:25:29.22\00:25:31.79
you know,
heaven, a lot of these,
00:25:31.83\00:25:33.90
but we actually have
very little on salvation.
00:25:33.93\00:25:36.50
So it's, of course, we
believe in it and scripturally.
00:25:36.53\00:25:41.37
But I think sometimes we
can put more focus on it.
00:25:41.40\00:25:44.61
And so I've
thought about salvation.
00:25:44.64\00:25:47.08
Okay, that'd be one.
00:25:47.11\00:25:48.44
And we do one on hellfire,
00:25:48.48\00:25:49.84
the one Shelley
and I'd co-written
00:25:49.88\00:25:51.85
on the Ten Commandments
Twice Removed and some of this,
00:25:51.88\00:25:55.18
Shelley actually
has some of that in it,
00:25:55.22\00:25:57.19
it's too good to pass up.
00:25:57.22\00:25:59.02
And so, these, when I
looked at the different books,
00:25:59.05\00:26:02.96
but it never occurred
to me till just recently,
00:26:02.99\00:26:05.76
you know, God set this up,
00:26:05.79\00:26:07.20
because the first
thing we need to do
00:26:07.23\00:26:08.93
when we're
reaching millions of people,
00:26:08.96\00:26:10.63
no matter who they are,
is teach them about Jesus.
00:26:10.67\00:26:12.83
Amen.
00:26:12.87\00:26:14.20
You teach them so the
book on the plan of salvation,
00:26:14.24\00:26:16.91
the truth about salvation,
00:26:16.94\00:26:18.61
and there's so much
stuff out there in churches,
00:26:18.64\00:26:21.11
you know, once
saved, always saved,
00:26:21.14\00:26:22.91
predestination,
all of these things.
00:26:22.94\00:26:25.28
So I said, all
of these questions
00:26:25.31\00:26:26.75
need to be answered.
00:26:26.78\00:26:28.12
But people need to
understand who Jesus is.
00:26:28.15\00:26:30.89
And there's only one
way under heaven to be saved
00:26:30.92\00:26:33.39
and let's go through,
see what the Bible says.
00:26:33.42\00:26:36.16
And so we've even just said,
00:26:36.19\00:26:37.53
well, let's see
how we're going to,
00:26:37.56\00:26:38.89
what about people
before Christ was crucified?
00:26:38.93\00:26:41.20
Well, let's go back in
00:26:41.23\00:26:42.56
the Old
Testament, how were they?
00:26:42.60\00:26:43.93
How were they saved?
00:26:43.97\00:26:45.30
So we go through,
then the sanctuary,
00:26:45.33\00:26:47.17
each one of the, the
parts of the sanctuary
00:26:47.20\00:26:50.14
to show their
complete plan of salvation laid
00:26:50.17\00:26:53.24
before the
foundation of the world.
00:26:53.27\00:26:54.91
Amen. So I said,
okay, we did that.
00:26:54.94\00:26:57.71
Then, after that, once
you understand who Jesus is,
00:26:57.75\00:27:01.28
and how to be saved,
now we got to know well,
00:27:01.32\00:27:03.32
what is it He expects of us.
00:27:03.35\00:27:04.69
Amen.
00:27:04.72\00:27:06.05
If you love Me,
keep My commandments.
00:27:06.09\00:27:07.42
So then this book, and
this was after they're printed,
00:27:07.46\00:27:09.89
or after we're
writing them I looked at that.
00:27:09.92\00:27:12.66
And I said,
"Man, Thank You, Lord,"
00:27:12.69\00:27:14.30
because right
after we really learned,
00:27:14.33\00:27:16.56
now we have the
Ten Commandments,
00:27:16.60\00:27:18.10
and it teaches
us about God's law,
00:27:18.13\00:27:21.30
and that how His
law, how important it is.
00:27:21.34\00:27:24.14
There's no life without
God, and the Ten Commandments
00:27:24.17\00:27:27.84
are transcript
of God's character.
00:27:27.88\00:27:29.98
So therefore, they must
be very, very important.
00:27:30.01\00:27:32.95
So we need to focus on Jesus.
00:27:32.98\00:27:36.05
But He says, "If you love
Me, keep My commandments."
00:27:36.08\00:27:37.95
I didn't say that.
00:27:37.99\00:27:39.32
He said it, "If you love
Me, keep My commandments."
00:27:39.35\00:27:41.76
And so, then the book,
The Truth about Hellfire.
00:27:41.79\00:27:47.10
It occurred to
me because so many,
00:27:47.13\00:27:48.90
there are millions of
people who are Christians,
00:27:48.93\00:27:50.73
but they're
serving God out of fear.
00:27:50.77\00:27:52.90
We don't understand
the character of God.
00:27:52.93\00:27:56.40
In fact, Ellen White
makes a statement that
00:27:56.44\00:27:58.97
one of the last
greatest attempts
00:27:59.01\00:28:01.11
of the devil to
destroy God is against,
00:28:01.14\00:28:03.38
a war against His character.
00:28:03.41\00:28:05.45
And so churches,
it's not like atheist.
00:28:05.48\00:28:09.28
It's not
necessarily all agnostics,
00:28:09.32\00:28:11.52
all these people from other
religions around the world.
00:28:11.55\00:28:14.82
But Christians, we
do harm to our own self
00:28:14.86\00:28:17.66
because we want to teach people
00:28:17.69\00:28:19.26
about this
wonderful God and about Jesus
00:28:19.29\00:28:22.63
and His love and
how much He loves you.
00:28:22.66\00:28:24.67
Johnny be good, Jesus loves you.
00:28:24.70\00:28:26.90
If you live for Him,
00:28:26.94\00:28:28.74
He's going to
take you to heaven,
00:28:28.77\00:28:30.41
and you're going to live
forever and ever and ever.
00:28:30.44\00:28:32.11
No more sickness, no
more pain, no more sorrow.
00:28:32.14\00:28:34.51
What a wonderful loving Savior.
00:28:34.54\00:28:36.75
Johnny is happy
about that and Sally,
00:28:36.78\00:28:39.11
they're happy about that.
00:28:39.15\00:28:40.48
And then all of a
sudden you say but Johnny,
00:28:40.52\00:28:43.75
just remember
that if you don't do
00:28:43.79\00:28:46.99
what God says
to do, and you sin,
00:28:47.02\00:28:49.99
you're gonna burn in
hell forever and ever and ever
00:28:50.03\00:28:55.66
throughout all the
ceaseless ages of eternity.
00:28:55.70\00:28:58.80
So now we've just
got ourselves in a big
00:28:58.83\00:29:01.40
and Johnny is in a
quandary because what,
00:29:01.44\00:29:03.67
wait a minute,
Jesus loves me so much.
00:29:03.71\00:29:06.21
He did all this, died for
me, gonna take me to heaven,
00:29:06.24\00:29:09.08
but if I don't do what
He says, I'm gonna burn,
00:29:09.11\00:29:12.01
I'm gonna be tortured
00:29:12.05\00:29:13.38
throughout all the
ceaseless ages of eternity.
00:29:13.42\00:29:15.85
Well, we need to
know the truth about it
00:29:15.88\00:29:17.39
because it's Christian churches
00:29:17.42\00:29:19.15
who are teaching this about God,
00:29:19.19\00:29:21.09
I mean about His character.
00:29:21.12\00:29:22.46
So to me, I said,
"Thank You, Lord,"
00:29:22.49\00:29:24.73
after we had them together,
00:29:24.76\00:29:26.09
and I saw them
in print, it's like,
00:29:26.13\00:29:27.83
"These are
exactly what we needed."
00:29:27.86\00:29:29.66
Salvation bring people to Jesus
00:29:29.70\00:29:32.93
and to
understand His great love.
00:29:32.97\00:29:35.57
Then we need to know
about the character of God
00:29:35.60\00:29:38.01
to understand that
we serve a God of love.
00:29:38.04\00:29:40.41
So how, is there a
hell? How hot is it?
00:29:40.44\00:29:42.74
And how long does it
burn, all of these things
00:29:42.78\00:29:44.91
we try to answer and then,
00:29:44.95\00:29:46.92
of course, the Ten Commandments.
00:29:46.95\00:29:48.42
We need to
understand about God's law.
00:29:48.45\00:29:50.35
We started out, are
your new covenant Christian
00:29:50.39\00:29:52.35
because there's, oh,
well, those old commandments
00:29:52.39\00:29:53.82
were nailed to the cross.
00:29:53.86\00:29:55.19
Well, where are they?
00:29:55.22\00:29:56.56
Let's find out and
see. So it's all Bible.
00:29:56.59\00:29:57.96
I'm not giving you my
opinions on here of this,
00:29:57.99\00:30:00.46
so it's Scripture.
00:30:00.50\00:30:01.83
But, Shelley, you
mentioned something earlier,
00:30:01.86\00:30:03.83
when you just telling me
about when you were young and...
00:30:03.87\00:30:08.40
Tell us about that?
00:30:08.44\00:30:09.77
I was brought up to
believe that Jesus was love,
00:30:09.80\00:30:13.41
but the Father
was watching me too,
00:30:13.44\00:30:16.75
if I tripped up,
00:30:16.78\00:30:18.18
so He could send me to
hell to burn forever and ever.
00:30:18.21\00:30:21.35
And I'll tell you what?
00:30:21.38\00:30:22.72
Was that in the church?
00:30:22.75\00:30:24.15
That was in the church. Was it?
00:30:24.19\00:30:25.79
Yeah, and I believe
that, you know, and I remember
00:30:25.82\00:30:28.19
I was such a goody
two shoes in high school.
00:30:28.22\00:30:31.59
When I went to college,
they called me Pollyanna
00:30:31.63\00:30:33.93
till the third year.
00:30:33.96\00:30:35.30
They may not even remember,
they may not be old enough
00:30:35.33\00:30:36.73
to know
Pollyanna, remember that.
00:30:36.77\00:30:38.23
I do. We did know Pollyanna.
00:30:38.27\00:30:39.60
Anyway, but the point is,
00:30:39.63\00:30:41.87
that I got to that
situation in my life,
00:30:41.90\00:30:46.57
where I felt like I
wasn't pleasing God,
00:30:46.61\00:30:48.44
and where I felt like
I couldn't please God.
00:30:48.48\00:30:50.55
So I finally said, I
give up, I can't please You,
00:30:50.58\00:30:54.42
You're gonna burn me forever.
00:30:54.45\00:30:56.05
How can you be love?
00:30:56.08\00:30:58.72
And, you know, I used to worry,
00:30:58.75\00:31:00.62
my father was
killed when I was six.
00:31:00.66\00:31:03.56
He had given his
heart to the Lord,
00:31:03.59\00:31:05.56
but I don't know
that he was living,
00:31:05.59\00:31:06.93
I'm not sure if he
was living for the Lord,
00:31:06.96\00:31:10.07
and I, you know,
somebody come over,
00:31:10.10\00:31:12.50
"He might be in
hell burning right now."
00:31:12.53\00:31:14.27
And it was just
like this too much.
00:31:14.30\00:31:16.74
And I have to say this,
00:31:16.77\00:31:18.64
I was taught that
the soul is immortal.
00:31:18.67\00:31:21.54
The Bible never says that.
00:31:21.58\00:31:23.71
As a matter of fact,
1 Timothy 6:16, says,
00:31:23.75\00:31:27.22
"Only God is
immortal right now."
00:31:27.25\00:31:31.35
And then when you get
to 1 Corinthians 15:54,
00:31:31.39\00:31:36.29
it talks about,
at the last moment,
00:31:36.32\00:31:40.26
when there's a
sound of the trumpet,
00:31:40.30\00:31:42.80
that we come up from the grave,
00:31:42.83\00:31:45.17
because it says, this mortality,
00:31:45.20\00:31:48.77
and we're always
referred to as a mortal soul.
00:31:48.80\00:31:51.77
This mortality puts on
immortality at the end.
00:31:51.81\00:31:56.44
So here's the point.
00:31:56.48\00:31:58.35
If only those who have received
the gift of eternal life,
00:31:58.38\00:32:03.89
salvation by
grace through faith,
00:32:03.92\00:32:06.35
if only they will
put on immortality,
00:32:06.39\00:32:09.09
and the people who come up
00:32:09.12\00:32:10.46
in the second
resurrection won't.
00:32:10.49\00:32:13.06
Just like God said
in the Old Testament,
00:32:13.09\00:32:16.30
the soul who sinned shall die.
00:32:16.33\00:32:18.53
You've got the rest
of it all written there.
00:32:18.57\00:32:20.60
So it's
something that I'm thrilled
00:32:20.64\00:32:24.31
that you touched on salvation,
00:32:24.34\00:32:26.44
so people can understand,
we believe in salvation
00:32:26.47\00:32:29.34
by grace through faith alone.
00:32:29.38\00:32:31.68
I'm thrilled that the
truth, Focus on Truth,
00:32:31.71\00:32:37.15
The Truth about Hellfire.
00:32:37.19\00:32:39.72
This is teaching
people that a loving God
00:32:39.75\00:32:44.43
is going to do away with sin,
annihilating sin and sinners,
00:32:44.46\00:32:49.13
and it's all over,
00:32:49.16\00:32:50.67
there'll be
ashes under our feet.
00:32:50.70\00:32:53.00
But then I love
that we understand
00:32:53.03\00:32:56.47
that a covenant keeping God
00:32:56.50\00:32:59.64
has a government of
love, the law of love.
00:32:59.67\00:33:04.61
And this is the
beauty of understanding
00:33:04.65\00:33:09.42
that the Ten
Commandments are ten promises,
00:33:09.45\00:33:12.49
God works in us
to will and to do.
00:33:12.52\00:33:14.62
Even obedience is by
grace, perfect combination.
00:33:14.66\00:33:18.73
Well, it's the Lord.
00:33:18.76\00:33:20.10
Like I said, I don't
spend much time planning
00:33:20.13\00:33:21.86
I didn't try to sit down
and write all this out and say,
00:33:21.90\00:33:25.50
just okay, well, let's
write a book on this or that,
00:33:25.53\00:33:27.77
but I have to give
the Holy Spirit the credit
00:33:27.80\00:33:29.84
because once there it's like,
00:33:29.87\00:33:31.21
well, these are the three books
that we should have written
00:33:31.24\00:33:34.41
and I want to thank
Yvonne for their hard work,
00:33:34.44\00:33:36.21
many, many hours of editing
00:33:36.24\00:33:37.68
because I'm real
good at talking fast
00:33:37.71\00:33:39.78
and writing
stuff down and type of,
00:33:39.81\00:33:41.32
but then she corrects it
all, you know, so I made A's in,
00:33:41.35\00:33:45.55
sometimes in high
school in English,
00:33:45.59\00:33:47.59
not because I deserved them,
00:33:47.62\00:33:49.02
so I'll just leave it like that.
00:33:49.06\00:33:50.89
I sure bragged on the
teacher a lot, you know?
00:33:50.93\00:33:54.76
Yeah, Mr. Danny, you're
very sharp doing English,
00:33:54.80\00:33:56.36
Jill's mentioned that
grammar and everything too,
00:33:56.40\00:33:58.10
God's given you.
00:33:58.13\00:33:59.47
When I'm writing,
I'm a little better
00:33:59.50\00:34:00.84
than when I talk.
00:34:00.87\00:34:02.20
I come from a area of Southern
Illinois between and so,
00:34:02.24\00:34:04.94
you know,
sometimes I write better
00:34:04.97\00:34:07.64
because when I
write out I'm like,
00:34:07.68\00:34:09.34
"Oh, I don't usually say that."
00:34:09.38\00:34:11.21
But anyway, but Yvonne
did a great job on that.
00:34:11.25\00:34:13.82
So here because of some of you,
00:34:13.85\00:34:17.02
thank you for
those of you who said,
00:34:17.05\00:34:18.59
you know, we want to support
00:34:18.62\00:34:20.19
that and they
sent tax deductible
00:34:20.22\00:34:21.86
love gifts to 3ABN.
00:34:21.89\00:34:23.39
We can send literally all three,
00:34:23.43\00:34:24.89
they're 48 page books.
00:34:24.93\00:34:26.66
So there you can call it
a booklet or little books,
00:34:26.70\00:34:29.03
but they're not 16
pages or 32, they're 48.
00:34:29.06\00:34:31.80
So we tried to pack as
much information in this
00:34:31.83\00:34:35.10
as we possibly can.
00:34:35.14\00:34:36.97
But the fact that we
did the printing, Shelley,
00:34:37.01\00:34:40.21
and the shipping from literally
00:34:40.24\00:34:42.44
anywhere in the
country to zip codes
00:34:42.48\00:34:44.61
for less than the
price of one stamp
00:34:44.65\00:34:46.72
into the homes of
potentially millions of people
00:34:46.75\00:34:49.55
or since where the government
seems most states are relaxing
00:34:49.58\00:34:53.25
like Illinois for one,
00:34:53.29\00:34:54.99
that people now can go back
out and start handing books out,
00:34:55.02\00:34:58.29
so many people are
ordering the cases, 250 books,
00:34:58.33\00:35:02.63
you said $16.50 as the shipping.
00:35:02.66\00:35:05.97
I mean, that's, that's
really to me, it's amazing.
00:35:06.00\00:35:08.80
So, if you want to do something,
00:35:08.84\00:35:12.01
and you want to do this,
00:35:12.04\00:35:13.58
it's pretty hard to think
that we can't do something.
00:35:13.61\00:35:16.81
Oh, yeah.
00:35:16.85\00:35:18.18
Can I say something?
It just occurred to me.
00:35:18.21\00:35:20.08
I found a book
that I really liked.
00:35:20.12\00:35:22.25
And I ordered five
books for five friends.
00:35:22.28\00:35:26.15
It cost over $50
00:35:26.19\00:35:28.12
to have those $50
to send those books.
00:35:28.16\00:35:31.46
Do you realize I
could have sent out
00:35:31.49\00:35:35.66
100 of these to
100 different people
00:35:35.70\00:35:39.50
for the same price?
00:35:39.53\00:35:40.87
Or I could have gotten a
case of each for under $50?
00:35:40.90\00:35:45.07
That would be
three times 16.50, 49.50,
00:35:45.11\00:35:48.94
have 250 people
00:35:48.98\00:35:51.05
that I could give
all three of these too.
00:35:51.08\00:35:54.12
What an amazing opportunity.
00:35:54.15\00:35:57.09
Yeah, no, this is an
incredible opportunity.
00:35:57.12\00:35:58.85
We're very excited about it.
00:35:58.89\00:36:00.22
Jill was
mentioning a few moments ago,
00:36:00.26\00:36:01.59
the call center's
open this evening.
00:36:01.62\00:36:03.32
So you can call
them, we've already had,
00:36:03.36\00:36:04.96
oh, hundreds of
thousands actually zip codes
00:36:04.99\00:36:06.70
being covered already.
00:36:06.73\00:36:08.60
So go ahead, you
can comment on that,
00:36:08.63\00:36:10.63
because I know you've
seen some reports coming in.
00:36:10.67\00:36:12.17
But we're very
excited about already.
00:36:12.20\00:36:13.87
You jumping on board.
00:36:13.90\00:36:15.24
We know you love
evangelism, you always have.
00:36:15.27\00:36:17.77
And now that we
have the opportunity
00:36:17.81\00:36:19.37
of getting the cases,
00:36:19.41\00:36:20.74
we can distribute them
even in our own neighborhoods.
00:36:20.78\00:36:22.74
But I think the
power to me of the zip code
00:36:22.78\00:36:24.91
is that this is
reaching in your neighborhood.
00:36:24.95\00:36:26.55
Let's say it's
your neighborhood,
00:36:26.58\00:36:27.92
you may not have time,
00:36:27.95\00:36:29.28
or maybe don't
want to meet everyone.
00:36:29.32\00:36:30.72
Hopefully, we should
want to meet everyone
00:36:30.75\00:36:32.09
in our neighborhood
00:36:32.12\00:36:33.46
and I better
correct myself, but...
00:36:33.49\00:36:34.82
Maybe physically you
can't go out to meet them.
00:36:34.86\00:36:36.19
That's a good point.
00:36:36.22\00:36:37.56
But you can reach
everyone in that zip code
00:36:37.59\00:36:38.93
around your neighborhood.
00:36:38.96\00:36:40.30
Or you can go and
actually get multiple zip codes
00:36:40.33\00:36:42.16
and reach many, many people.
00:36:42.20\00:36:43.53
And that's incredible,
00:36:43.57\00:36:44.90
because it'll
show up in their house.
00:36:44.93\00:36:46.27
We're showing that graphic
to you now of where you can see
00:36:46.30\00:36:48.30
all these three booklets
in that beautiful envelope,
00:36:48.34\00:36:50.51
it says a gift for you.
00:36:50.54\00:36:51.91
And we want to say thank you
00:36:51.94\00:36:53.27
to Pacific Press
Publishing Association,
00:36:53.31\00:36:54.64
Dale Galusha and
what they have done
00:36:54.68\00:36:56.44
to make this possible
00:36:56.48\00:36:57.81
and to be able to bring
the price down to where it is
00:36:57.85\00:37:00.35
50 cents for three
booklets shipped to a zip code
00:37:00.38\00:37:02.48
in your area.
00:37:02.52\00:37:03.85
It's amazing to me,
it's a great opportunity.
00:37:03.89\00:37:05.69
It is absolutely.
00:37:05.72\00:37:07.76
Speaking of opportunities,
00:37:07.79\00:37:09.29
I'm reminded that
fall camp meeting is coming
00:37:09.32\00:37:12.59
September 23 through 25.
00:37:12.63\00:37:14.80
And it will be in person,
00:37:14.83\00:37:16.16
that means we are
inviting you to join us.
00:37:16.20\00:37:20.17
I'm thrilled about this.
00:37:20.20\00:37:21.70
It seems like so long,
00:37:21.74\00:37:23.07
we've done
virtual camp meetings,
00:37:23.10\00:37:24.44
we have not been
able to connect with you.
00:37:24.47\00:37:26.54
So set those
dates in your calendar,
00:37:26.57\00:37:29.31
call us to
reserve those RV spots
00:37:29.34\00:37:31.65
or 10 spots right
away or the local hotels.
00:37:31.68\00:37:35.05
I mean, Shelley, why
don't you kick it off
00:37:35.08\00:37:36.48
and talk to us about that?
00:37:36.52\00:37:37.85
Well, I'm very excited
that this will be in person,
00:37:37.89\00:37:41.96
but I'm also very excited
00:37:41.99\00:37:43.32
that James Rafferty
will be our keynote speaker.
00:37:43.36\00:37:47.60
This will begin Thursday evening
00:37:47.63\00:37:50.07
with an hour of music
00:37:50.10\00:37:51.67
and then his first message
00:37:51.70\00:37:53.37
he'll do a message Thursday,
00:37:53.40\00:37:55.27
Friday and two on Sabbath.
00:37:55.30\00:37:57.07
And you know what the
theme is, Something Better.
00:37:57.11\00:38:01.71
You know the book of
better is the Book of Hebrews,
00:38:01.74\00:38:05.98
the better
mediator, the better covenant,
00:38:06.01\00:38:08.52
the better promises.
00:38:08.55\00:38:10.19
So he is doing that love,
00:38:10.22\00:38:14.29
the first one he
does is Love Languages.
00:38:14.32\00:38:18.09
Friday night is
Heart Transplanter,
00:38:18.13\00:38:20.30
Faith Factor.
00:38:20.33\00:38:21.66
And The Finisher is on Sabbath.
00:38:21.70\00:38:23.57
We also have...
00:38:23.60\00:38:25.73
Let's see Kenny
Shelton, Shelley Quinn Ryan Day,
00:38:25.77\00:38:28.34
Jill Morikone,
and John Lomacang,
00:38:28.37\00:38:31.97
who will be doing the seminars.
00:38:32.01\00:38:35.88
And great music too.
00:38:35.91\00:38:37.25
Great music.
00:38:37.28\00:38:38.61
And, Pastor Rafferty,
are you still with us?
00:38:38.65\00:38:39.98
I believe you are.
00:38:40.02\00:38:41.35
Tell us, expound it. Yeah. Okay.
00:38:41.38\00:38:42.72
So expound a little
bit upon that Shelley
00:38:42.75\00:38:44.09
just touched on
the sermon titles,
00:38:44.12\00:38:45.82
but expound on this
something better topic.
00:38:45.85\00:38:49.66
And what even motivated
you, led you to the theme?
00:38:49.69\00:38:53.86
Okay, it connects
with discipleship ministry.
00:38:53.90\00:38:58.73
The Book of
Hebrews is relational book.
00:38:58.77\00:39:01.70
The focus of the book
is relationship with God,
00:39:01.74\00:39:05.67
relationship with Christ.
00:39:05.71\00:39:07.54
And the best way
to form relationship
00:39:07.58\00:39:11.01
when you're trying
to get someone away
00:39:11.05\00:39:12.61
from maybe
something bad like the sin,
00:39:12.65\00:39:16.02
and all of it forms
00:39:16.05\00:39:17.82
is to present to
them something better.
00:39:17.85\00:39:20.42
And so all the author of Hebrews
00:39:20.46\00:39:23.16
does a masterful job,
00:39:23.19\00:39:26.09
diving right into
the plan of salvation,
00:39:26.13\00:39:28.96
introduces God and
Christ and the plan of salvation
00:39:29.00\00:39:32.20
in the first three verses.
00:39:32.23\00:39:34.20
Get this, normal introduction.
00:39:34.24\00:39:37.37
Book is directly on the gospel
00:39:37.41\00:39:40.58
and begins to
introduce him in chapter,
00:39:40.61\00:39:42.31
what a better God
than a better man,
00:39:42.34\00:39:45.35
you're talking
about Christ and how often
00:39:45.38\00:39:48.92
and in a better
obedience in Chapter 3,
00:39:48.95\00:39:51.62
and a better rest in Chapter 4,
00:39:51.65\00:39:53.76
talking about the spiritual rest
00:39:53.79\00:39:55.86
that we enter into
through the Sabbath.
00:39:55.89\00:39:58.26
And then in Chapter 5,
00:39:58.29\00:39:59.63
well, it just continues
on with a better covenant,
00:39:59.66\00:40:01.73
better promises,
a better mediator,
00:40:01.76\00:40:03.97
a better sanctuary,
a better experience,
00:40:04.00\00:40:05.90
a better faith.
00:40:05.93\00:40:07.27
It's an
incredible relational focus
00:40:07.30\00:40:11.64
of something better.
00:40:11.67\00:40:13.11
And the whole idea
of presenting Hebrews
00:40:13.14\00:40:16.51
is to help us to focus
on a relationship with God
00:40:16.54\00:40:22.08
that we're going to
need in these end times.
00:40:22.12\00:40:24.35
Things are
closing out, we know that.
00:40:24.39\00:40:26.52
We are living in
unprecedented times right now.
00:40:26.55\00:40:29.56
And this book,
the Book of Hebrews
00:40:29.59\00:40:31.36
connects directly
with Daniel and Revelation
00:40:31.39\00:40:34.50
because it has a lot of
the sanctuary symbolism,
00:40:34.53\00:40:37.10
but it also
focuses on the key elements
00:40:37.13\00:40:40.64
that we need to
according to Revelation 4:4,
00:40:40.67\00:40:45.21
to follow the
Lamb wherever He goes.
00:40:45.24\00:40:47.64
How can we do that?
00:40:47.68\00:40:49.31
What is the practical
way that we can do that?
00:40:49.34\00:40:51.38
How can we have
this relationship,
00:40:51.41\00:40:52.75
this daily
relationship with Christ?
00:40:52.78\00:40:54.98
In fact, the Book of
Hebrews is the book that I use,
00:40:55.02\00:40:58.45
number one for
discipleship ministry,
00:40:58.49\00:41:00.39
when I'm
studying with individuals,
00:41:00.42\00:41:03.49
studying with
groups, I encourage them,
00:41:03.53\00:41:05.89
let's study the Book of Hebrews,
00:41:05.93\00:41:07.36
because that's the
book that's going to help us
00:41:07.40\00:41:09.86
to develop
relationship with Christ,
00:41:09.90\00:41:11.67
especially these last days.
00:41:11.70\00:41:13.50
And we have a
number of people in groups
00:41:13.54\00:41:15.74
we're studying with right now
00:41:15.77\00:41:17.57
through the
discipleship ministry.
00:41:17.61\00:41:18.94
So very excited about that,
00:41:18.97\00:41:20.31
very excited about camp meeting.
00:41:20.34\00:41:21.94
And looking forward
00:41:21.98\00:41:23.31
to God's riches
blessings this fall.
00:41:23.35\00:41:28.22
We're so excited.
00:41:28.25\00:41:29.58
And what I love, James,
00:41:29.62\00:41:31.32
is that you are
doing the Book of Hebrews
00:41:31.35\00:41:35.99
with parallel messages
from Revelation and Daniel,
00:41:36.02\00:41:39.49
it's gonna be beautiful.
00:41:39.53\00:41:41.06
And we want to
invite all of you.
00:41:41.10\00:41:44.10
You will be able to,
00:41:44.13\00:41:45.47
you can go to 3abncampmeeting.tv
00:41:45.50\00:41:50.07
You'll see the schedule there.
00:41:50.11\00:41:51.77
We're going to have
some delicious free meals.
00:41:51.81\00:41:54.84
We're going to
get to hugging in it.
00:41:54.88\00:41:57.05
We're going to have,
00:41:57.08\00:41:59.08
you can come in physically
00:41:59.11\00:42:01.45
instead of doing a virtual tour,
00:42:01.48\00:42:03.55
come take a tour of 3ABN.
00:42:03.59\00:42:06.22
But this is just,
00:42:06.25\00:42:08.12
we've all been
missing this time.
00:42:08.16\00:42:10.89
There's something special about,
00:42:10.93\00:42:12.69
it's like a
little taste of heaven
00:42:12.73\00:42:14.43
when we all get together.
00:42:14.46\00:42:16.13
So we hope that you
will mark your calendars
00:42:16.16\00:42:19.20
September 23rd through the 25th.
00:42:19.23\00:42:21.90
And when you're here in person,
00:42:21.94\00:42:23.81
you get to come in
and warm everything up
00:42:23.84\00:42:26.31
by having a sing
along with Tim Parton
00:42:26.34\00:42:29.01
before it begins,
00:42:29.04\00:42:30.38
but it's gonna be great.
00:42:30.41\00:42:32.11
Oh, I look
forward to it. I love it.
00:42:32.15\00:42:33.85
And speaking of
Tim and the music,
00:42:33.88\00:42:35.42
you know that we have.
00:42:35.45\00:42:36.79
I mean, God has
blessed you know with the Ryan
00:42:36.82\00:42:38.55
and Yvonne and
Pastor John, others,
00:42:38.59\00:42:41.12
you know, to hear,
00:42:41.16\00:42:42.56
so to have a lot
of even in house.
00:42:42.59\00:42:44.99
Of course, we usually to
get Reggie and Ladye Love Smith.
00:42:45.03\00:42:47.33
And you know where the music
00:42:47.36\00:42:49.03
is just a big part
of the camp meeting too.
00:42:49.06\00:42:51.70
And it's because you love it.
00:42:51.73\00:42:53.07
That's why we continue to do it.
00:42:53.10\00:42:54.70
You tell us what you
liked and what you don't.
00:42:54.74\00:42:56.64
People aren't bashful.
00:42:56.67\00:42:58.01
They'll tell you if they
don't like something, right?
00:42:58.04\00:42:59.81
Yeah, that's true.
00:42:59.84\00:43:01.41
There's a camp meeting that
00:43:01.44\00:43:02.78
we just finished, who is Jesus.
00:43:02.81\00:43:04.18
Yeah.
00:43:04.21\00:43:05.55
I was watching one
of the music hours,
00:43:05.58\00:43:09.35
that ministered to me
as much as any sermon.
00:43:09.38\00:43:13.72
I mean, it was beautiful.
00:43:13.76\00:43:15.09
Yeah.
00:43:15.12\00:43:16.46
I was just thinking,
speaking of the music
00:43:16.49\00:43:17.83
from this past camp
meeting we just came from.
00:43:17.86\00:43:20.20
I was on the 3ABN Plus site
00:43:20.23\00:43:22.06
and watching the
virtual sing along before.
00:43:22.10\00:43:25.00
And Reggie Smith was
singing the song, Hold on,
00:43:25.03\00:43:27.87
which is an amazing song.
00:43:27.90\00:43:29.24
And someone chatted in and said,
00:43:29.27\00:43:31.57
I'm sharing the song right now,
00:43:31.61\00:43:33.41
because my friend's
wife was just murdered.
00:43:33.44\00:43:37.38
And he's going
through a very difficult time.
00:43:37.41\00:43:40.12
Now, this song is
going to minister to him.
00:43:40.15\00:43:43.12
So I just
thought what confirmation
00:43:43.15\00:43:44.85
that the music is
not only anointed,
00:43:44.89\00:43:47.06
but it ministers to people
00:43:47.09\00:43:49.22
in the midst of what
they're going through
00:43:49.26\00:43:50.59
in their brokenness.
00:43:50.63\00:43:51.96
Absolutely.
00:43:51.99\00:43:53.33
So again, we're looking
forward to having you come
00:43:53.36\00:43:54.80
for the fall camp meeting.
00:43:54.83\00:43:56.43
We've already heard
from a number of you,
00:43:56.46\00:43:57.80
you're already
starting to reserves some spots
00:43:57.83\00:43:59.40
and saying we're coming.
00:43:59.43\00:44:00.84
We've been working with the,
of course, the grounds crew,
00:44:00.87\00:44:02.80
they're already
getting the RV spots ready
00:44:02.84\00:44:05.47
for you to come
for fall camp meeting
00:44:05.51\00:44:06.94
that Shelley just touched on.
00:44:06.98\00:44:08.38
For those of you that have
00:44:08.41\00:44:09.74
never come to
camp meeting before,
00:44:09.78\00:44:11.25
we do provide
complimentary breakfast,
00:44:11.28\00:44:14.18
and usually a
lunch when you're here.
00:44:14.22\00:44:16.38
And so that's a real blessing.
00:44:16.42\00:44:17.95
We do have some
children's meetings as well,
00:44:17.99\00:44:20.12
the seminar time,
00:44:20.16\00:44:21.49
it's just great
time of fellowship.
00:44:21.52\00:44:23.29
And so we're just
really looking forward
00:44:23.32\00:44:24.89
to you coming to
fall camp meeting.
00:44:24.93\00:44:26.26
And what days are those?
00:44:26.29\00:44:27.63
It's September
24, 23, 24 and 25.
00:44:27.66\00:44:31.27
That's Thursday,
Friday and Sabbath.
00:44:31.30\00:44:32.90
Okay. Yeah.
00:44:32.93\00:44:34.27
Looking forward to it.
00:44:34.30\00:44:35.64
Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
00:44:35.67\00:44:37.01
Pastor James, again, I
know that you've just come
00:44:37.04\00:44:39.07
from a camp meeting
there in the Oregon Conference,
00:44:39.11\00:44:41.08
you and Rise keep a very busy,
00:44:41.11\00:44:43.01
we continue to lift
you all up in prayer.
00:44:43.04\00:44:45.25
And we're looking forward
00:44:45.28\00:44:46.61
'cause you're going to be
here in just a couple of weeks.
00:44:46.65\00:44:47.98
But God bless both of you.
00:44:48.02\00:44:49.35
And we're so very excited
00:44:49.38\00:44:50.89
to have you part
of the 3ABN family.
00:44:50.92\00:44:52.25
Yes. Amen.
00:44:52.29\00:44:53.62
We love you both.
00:44:53.66\00:44:54.99
And we're so grateful
00:44:55.02\00:44:56.36
to have you part of the team.
00:44:56.39\00:44:57.73
Any closing thoughts
that both of you have?
00:44:57.76\00:45:00.90
Amen. Thank you.
00:45:00.93\00:45:02.66
We are so thankful ourselves.
00:45:02.70\00:45:04.67
And one of the things
that's a real blessing to us
00:45:04.70\00:45:07.87
is that, you know, we've been,
again part of the 3ABN team
00:45:07.90\00:45:11.01
for so many years.
00:45:11.04\00:45:12.77
But we're living in a time
00:45:12.81\00:45:14.18
when we need to
use all our wisdom,
00:45:14.21\00:45:15.91
all our experience,
everything that we've learned,
00:45:15.94\00:45:19.21
we've got to get it
out there to the world.
00:45:19.25\00:45:21.22
We don't have a
lot of time left.
00:45:21.25\00:45:22.68
And I love the fact that
00:45:22.72\00:45:24.32
as you open up the session today
00:45:24.35\00:45:26.86
that the 3ABN is expanding.
00:45:26.89\00:45:28.86
Yes, it's always
been reaching the world,
00:45:28.89\00:45:30.43
but it's opening up
specific doors in Cuba, Uganda
00:45:30.46\00:45:33.60
and these other countries.
00:45:33.63\00:45:37.47
And I love that, as we
know, we mentioned Saudi Arabia.
00:45:37.50\00:45:41.40
We know that
people are watching 3ABN
00:45:41.44\00:45:42.87
and that these books,
again, as Danny mentioned,
00:45:42.90\00:45:45.27
are going to go
at silent messengers.
00:45:45.31\00:45:47.51
And they're
going to plant seeds,
00:45:47.54\00:45:48.88
and they're
going to be thousands
00:45:48.91\00:45:50.25
if not millions of people
who are going to be prepared
00:45:50.28\00:45:52.95
for the second coming of Jesus
00:45:52.98\00:45:54.72
that we're not even
going to be aware of.
00:45:54.75\00:45:56.08
We're not even going to
know until we get to heaven.
00:45:56.12\00:45:58.39
We're going to
see behind the scenes
00:45:58.42\00:45:59.75
as we're doing right now,
00:45:59.79\00:46:01.12
we're talking
about behind the scenes.
00:46:01.16\00:46:02.49
Well, the real behind the scenes
00:46:02.52\00:46:04.33
is we don't know
what's happening right now,
00:46:04.36\00:46:06.76
how heaven is working right now
00:46:06.80\00:46:08.73
to orchestrate people to connect
00:46:08.76\00:46:11.43
with the truths of the Bible
00:46:11.47\00:46:13.50
through the 3ABN
ministry, the various outreaches
00:46:13.54\00:46:16.27
that we are so thankful
to be a part of it as a team,
00:46:16.30\00:46:19.41
and we want to bring
everything we've got,
00:46:19.44\00:46:21.28
you know, I feel like
we're, we've been in a marathon.
00:46:21.31\00:46:24.28
And we're
rounding the last corner.
00:46:24.31\00:46:26.11
And it's time for us
00:46:26.15\00:46:27.48
to just sprint
to the finish line,
00:46:27.52\00:46:29.05
and give it everything we've got
00:46:29.08\00:46:30.42
in preparation of the
second coming of Jesus.
00:46:30.45\00:46:32.32
So thank you, that we
are part of this team.
00:46:32.35\00:46:35.22
Amen. How about you, Rise?
00:46:35.26\00:46:36.73
I just want to say that.
00:46:36.76\00:46:38.36
Well, yeah, one
of my favorite words
00:46:38.39\00:46:40.03
that you guys keep
bringing up is the word team.
00:46:40.06\00:46:42.76
I think my favorite prophecy
00:46:42.80\00:46:44.53
and that's not really
considered a prophetic chapter
00:46:44.57\00:46:46.57
is John 17,
00:46:46.60\00:46:47.94
where Jesus proclaims
00:46:47.97\00:46:49.80
that we're going
to experience unity,
00:46:49.84\00:46:52.24
and by His grace,
00:46:52.27\00:46:54.34
and by the power
of the Holy Spirit,
00:46:54.38\00:46:55.74
and in our short time working
with you guys, we really,
00:46:55.78\00:46:58.61
yeah, I feel like a part of
that community and that team,
00:46:58.65\00:47:01.12
and I think that it's
gonna extend worldwide.
00:47:01.15\00:47:03.99
Yeah, excited
to be a part of it.
00:47:04.02\00:47:05.45
Amen. Amen.
00:47:05.49\00:47:07.02
We're so grateful to
have you as part of the team.
00:47:07.06\00:47:09.56
I'm sorry, Mr. Danny.
00:47:09.59\00:47:10.93
No, no, I was just
saying, thank you so much,
00:47:10.96\00:47:12.79
and what a blessing
00:47:12.83\00:47:14.16
because God is
calling people together.
00:47:14.20\00:47:17.40
And I believe here at
3ABN He's bringing, He brought,
00:47:17.43\00:47:21.17
I mean, that's
from the foundation
00:47:21.20\00:47:22.54
of the world again.
00:47:22.57\00:47:23.91
He saw James and Rise,
00:47:23.94\00:47:25.27
He knew exactly
where they would be,
00:47:25.31\00:47:26.64
and how we are able
to have a tool like this,
00:47:26.68\00:47:30.78
a communication highway
00:47:30.81\00:47:32.41
that literally
can reach the world.
00:47:32.45\00:47:34.68
And so I'm so
thankful for the balance
00:47:34.72\00:47:37.19
that you that both of you bring,
00:47:37.22\00:47:39.42
because the devil's got people
we go the left to the right,
00:47:39.45\00:47:42.59
we're either
legalist or liberalist,
00:47:42.62\00:47:44.66
we're one or the other.
00:47:44.69\00:47:46.03
Some of us are
laziest, and the word lazy.
00:47:46.06\00:47:48.23
You know, I used to always
say the things is killing us.
00:47:48.26\00:47:50.70
The L's, you know,
legalism, liberalism, lazyism.
00:47:50.73\00:47:55.37
There are several
others I forget right now,
00:47:55.40\00:47:57.31
but I'm putting in a little.
00:47:57.34\00:47:59.81
But I'm glad that
you're so balanced,
00:47:59.84\00:48:02.68
and stick with the
truth no matter what.
00:48:02.71\00:48:04.71
That's right.
00:48:04.75\00:48:06.08
And the devil has
done everything He can
00:48:06.11\00:48:08.18
to them as well as
you at home and us,
00:48:08.22\00:48:10.69
he wants to see you dead.
00:48:10.72\00:48:12.22
And so, but Jesus says
He's come to give us life
00:48:12.25\00:48:15.02
and give it more abundantly.
00:48:15.06\00:48:16.73
And so while we're here,
00:48:16.76\00:48:18.56
this is such a
privilege to work for the Lord.
00:48:18.59\00:48:21.06
And again, that team
00:48:21.10\00:48:22.66
that Rise was
talking about is exactly
00:48:22.70\00:48:25.17
for you at home for each of us.
00:48:25.20\00:48:26.84
You're a part of this team.
00:48:26.87\00:48:28.20
Without you, we
couldn't be going anywhere.
00:48:28.24\00:48:30.81
I want to say one
other little thing,
00:48:30.84\00:48:32.31
I was on the books.
00:48:32.34\00:48:34.14
Six million sounds like a lot.
00:48:34.18\00:48:36.14
But we did six
and a half million
00:48:36.18\00:48:38.48
of the little COVID
book and they all went out.
00:48:38.51\00:48:40.52
Oh, yeah.
00:48:40.55\00:48:41.88
So we're hoping that
you, if you want to do this
00:48:41.92\00:48:43.72
and be part of it,
that you do it quickly.
00:48:43.75\00:48:46.99
Because every day
00:48:47.02\00:48:48.36
that people are
writing in orders, their posts,
00:48:48.39\00:48:50.83
so we can't
promise we don't know,
00:48:50.86\00:48:52.49
we're hoping that
more money will come in.
00:48:52.53\00:48:55.43
And we can continue this going.
00:48:55.46\00:48:56.97
But we don't know that for sure.
00:48:57.00\00:48:58.33
So hopefully, if the
Lord's impressing you
00:48:58.37\00:49:01.20
and you want to do
something, but as you mentioned,
00:49:01.24\00:49:03.34
you're not
physically able to get out,
00:49:03.37\00:49:05.34
you maybe people are, you
know, can be incarcerated,
00:49:05.37\00:49:09.84
they are witnessing outside.
00:49:09.88\00:49:11.35
I mean, there's so many ways,
00:49:11.38\00:49:13.21
and people and you
just can't get out.
00:49:13.25\00:49:15.58
But you can do this.
00:49:15.62\00:49:17.29
So you send a donation
to 3ABN, we'll make sure
00:49:17.32\00:49:20.59
that these go
out to your zip codes
00:49:20.62\00:49:22.32
or your churches
wherever you want.
00:49:22.36\00:49:24.49
So we're excited about
getting truth out, Shelley,
00:49:24.53\00:49:28.76
and it's been
from the beginning,
00:49:28.80\00:49:30.13
get an undiluted
three angels' messages,
00:49:30.17\00:49:32.57
one that would
counteract the counterfeit.
00:49:32.60\00:49:34.70
And I don't know
anybody better to join the team
00:49:34.74\00:49:38.34
that's lived that in
the last 30 some years.
00:49:38.37\00:49:41.18
They started
about same time we did,
00:49:41.21\00:49:43.55
1984, '85, in that area.
00:49:43.58\00:49:46.45
And they've been
balanced and focused on truth
00:49:46.48\00:49:50.39
for all these years.
00:49:50.42\00:49:51.75
So thank you. God bless.
00:49:51.79\00:49:53.12
We love you. Yeah.
00:49:53.15\00:49:54.49
And this is
great working together.
00:49:54.52\00:49:55.86
We got virtual camp meeting.
00:49:55.89\00:49:57.23
That's right.
00:49:57.26\00:49:58.59
Can I say one thing,
because you've mentioned
00:49:58.63\00:49:59.96
doctrines as well, as
James mentioned doctrines,
00:50:00.00\00:50:04.43
so I just want you
to understand at home,
00:50:04.47\00:50:06.84
doctrine is just
a word for teaching.
00:50:06.87\00:50:10.27
And I know that
when I was considering
00:50:10.31\00:50:13.27
becoming a
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:50:13.31\00:50:15.68
I've been watching 3ABN,
00:50:15.71\00:50:17.81
I knew the Lord was calling me.
00:50:17.85\00:50:19.55
You know, I've
been a Sabbath keeper
00:50:19.58\00:50:20.92
for two years
00:50:20.95\00:50:22.28
before I even watched 3ABN,
00:50:22.32\00:50:24.09
because God was teaching
me directly from the Word.
00:50:24.12\00:50:27.32
He'd already taught me the truth
00:50:27.36\00:50:29.19
of the state of the dead,
00:50:29.22\00:50:30.56
and I thought I was the only one
00:50:30.59\00:50:31.93
that knew these things,
00:50:31.96\00:50:33.29
I'm out teaching.
00:50:33.33\00:50:34.66
But here's my point.
00:50:34.70\00:50:36.03
Before I became the
Seventh-day Adventist,
00:50:36.06\00:50:37.57
I interviewed the
pastor to makes sure
00:50:37.60\00:50:40.30
he taught the same
way you taught on 3ABN.
00:50:40.34\00:50:42.57
Okay.
00:50:42.60\00:50:43.94
I got online and I looked
at the fundamental beliefs,
00:50:43.97\00:50:48.01
which we call doctrines.
00:50:48.04\00:50:50.05
Let me tell you something.
00:50:50.08\00:50:51.41
They are all
straight from the Bible.
00:50:51.45\00:50:53.38
You look it up
00:50:53.42\00:50:54.75
and it'll have it five,
ten scriptures after it,
00:50:54.78\00:50:58.09
scripture references.
00:50:58.12\00:50:59.79
What Rise mentioned about unity,
00:50:59.82\00:51:03.36
you know why it is possible?
00:51:03.39\00:51:05.26
It is because we don't
go by private interpretation
00:51:05.29\00:51:09.03
of anybody in our church.
00:51:09.06\00:51:11.83
It is Sola scriptura, the
Bible and the Bible alone.
00:51:11.87\00:51:16.00
And when we have
this truth in our heart,
00:51:16.04\00:51:18.44
we can't help but
become united as one.
00:51:18.47\00:51:21.68
Yeah. Praise the Lord. Yeah.
00:51:21.71\00:51:23.55
Well, we appreciate again,
like I mentioned the Raffertys,
00:51:23.58\00:51:25.71
looking forward to
camp meeting coming up soon.
00:51:25.75\00:51:27.18
Why don't we...
00:51:27.22\00:51:28.55
We were talking
about the books again
00:51:28.58\00:51:29.92
in case someone just joined us.
00:51:29.95\00:51:31.29
Why don't you
tell people at home
00:51:31.32\00:51:32.65
how they can
actually get these books
00:51:32.69\00:51:34.02
that we're talking
about this evening,
00:51:34.06\00:51:35.39
The Focus on Truth series?
00:51:35.42\00:51:36.76
Absolutely, you
can call us right now.
00:51:36.79\00:51:38.13
The call center is
open at (618) 627-4651.
00:51:38.16\00:51:43.06
That number again,
and if the lines are full,
00:51:43.10\00:51:45.37
just hang on (618) 627-4651.
00:51:45.40\00:51:51.11
Or you can go to our website,
00:51:51.14\00:51:53.14
this works especially well
00:51:53.17\00:51:55.01
if you want to order
the cases, at 3abn.tv.
00:51:55.04\00:51:59.41
You don't have to
wait in line on the phone.
00:51:59.45\00:52:01.35
You can just go to the website
and you can order the cases
00:52:01.38\00:52:04.12
at 3abn.tv.
00:52:04.15\00:52:06.42
On the website also,
00:52:06.45\00:52:07.79
if you just want to
donate toward a zip code
00:52:07.82\00:52:09.62
and 3ABN will pick the
zip code and assign it.
00:52:09.66\00:52:12.69
You can do that as well.
00:52:12.73\00:52:14.23
If you want a specific zip
code and you give us the number,
00:52:14.26\00:52:17.43
you'll have to call us for that.
00:52:17.47\00:52:18.87
So hopefully that's clear.
00:52:18.90\00:52:20.34
If you want a
specific zip code call us,
00:52:20.37\00:52:22.50
but if you just want to
donate towards any zip code.
00:52:22.54\00:52:25.21
At 3ABN we're trying to
cover some of the larger cities.
00:52:25.24\00:52:28.61
You can do that
online at 3abn.tv.
00:52:28.64\00:52:31.95
And it's an incredible
evangelistic opportunity.
00:52:31.98\00:52:34.92
One thing I want to
touch on of these books too
00:52:34.95\00:52:36.82
is that you
mentioned 48 pages per book.
00:52:36.85\00:52:39.19
Excuse me, and it is beautiful
actually print on the inside.
00:52:39.22\00:52:42.52
It's not just black and white.
00:52:42.56\00:52:43.89
There's actually
some really nice artwork
00:52:43.93\00:52:46.59
on the inside full color.
00:52:46.63\00:52:48.30
Also some of those
beautiful pictures.
00:52:48.33\00:52:49.66
Oh, yeah.
00:52:49.70\00:52:51.03
Oh, just fantastic.
00:52:51.07\00:52:52.40
One of these that I love
00:52:52.43\00:52:53.77
and I'm gonna put this book down
00:52:53.80\00:52:55.14
I think it's in, is it this one
00:52:55.17\00:52:56.50
that has the one of
Christ's second coming?
00:52:56.54\00:52:58.37
Yeah, this, well, this
is a beautiful one here too.
00:52:58.41\00:53:00.71
You can see that,
just fantastic artwork
00:53:00.74\00:53:02.54
on the inside.
00:53:02.58\00:53:03.91
But the very back,
00:53:03.95\00:53:05.28
see, every one
of these booklets.
00:53:05.31\00:53:07.28
See that?
00:53:07.32\00:53:08.65
That is actually ways
that you can watch 3ABN
00:53:08.68\00:53:10.99
which is fantastic
00:53:11.02\00:53:12.35
because these
are going into homes
00:53:12.39\00:53:13.72
that they may have
never heard of 3ABN,
00:53:13.76\00:53:15.09
maybe not even the gospel.
00:53:15.12\00:53:16.46
So finding out truth,
how can I find out more?
00:53:16.49\00:53:19.06
Well, at the very back
in like Dish Network, Fires,
00:53:19.09\00:53:21.56
Apple TV, Apple's,
Fire TV, YouTube, Roku,
00:53:21.60\00:53:25.10
and the list goes on and on.
00:53:25.13\00:53:26.47
So what a great
opportunity for evangelism.
00:53:26.50\00:53:28.67
For 50 cents you think about
00:53:28.70\00:53:30.24
three books in an
envelope mailed, 50 cents.
00:53:30.27\00:53:34.01
Had we just said less,
00:53:34.04\00:53:35.88
we want 6 million
people to know about 3ABN.
00:53:35.91\00:53:40.08
So let's get a
stamp and an envelope
00:53:40.12\00:53:42.35
and put in that one
page, put it in there
00:53:42.38\00:53:46.32
that would it
probably cost 60 cents or more.
00:53:46.35\00:53:48.79
And to do that
just for one page.
00:53:48.82\00:53:51.39
Well, this is
on everyone anyway.
00:53:51.43\00:53:53.40
So all six million, you
get all this information,
00:53:53.43\00:53:56.13
plus the other.
00:53:56.16\00:53:57.50
So we're excited.
00:53:57.53\00:53:58.87
And what I love is to see people
00:53:58.90\00:54:00.60
when we join hands together.
00:54:00.64\00:54:01.97
Shelley, the book we've written
00:54:02.00\00:54:03.34
there's what 10 to 12
million copies of those
00:54:03.37\00:54:06.21
out literally
and to see the people
00:54:06.24\00:54:08.18
that have come to
the Lord and even...
00:54:08.21\00:54:10.41
Pastors.
00:54:10.45\00:54:11.78
Pastors, Shelley
used to have a list,
00:54:11.81\00:54:13.48
I think 30 some articles,
to 40 pastors who said,
00:54:13.52\00:54:17.05
you know, we're going
to accept the Sabbath part
00:54:17.09\00:54:18.99
of the Ten Commandments.
00:54:19.02\00:54:20.36
And we never knew this before.
00:54:20.39\00:54:21.72
So not just, you
know, members or Christians,
00:54:21.76\00:54:24.76
but sometimes church leaders,
so their truth is effective.
00:54:24.79\00:54:29.56
And so that's what
it's all about today,
00:54:29.60\00:54:31.50
that we need to
focus on the truth,
00:54:31.53\00:54:33.27
as a church as a
network and as individuals,
00:54:33.30\00:54:36.77
each of us,
00:54:36.81\00:54:38.14
and the Lord will
honor that, He'll bless it.
00:54:38.17\00:54:39.67
So we just do our
part, and God does the rest.
00:54:39.71\00:54:42.21
You know what I
like about written truth,
00:54:42.24\00:54:43.88
the one that we will
get the most blowback
00:54:43.91\00:54:47.32
on is The Truth about Hellfire,
00:54:47.35\00:54:50.15
because so many churches
00:54:50.19\00:54:54.12
teach an
eternal torture in hell.
00:54:54.16\00:54:58.23
And it's hard to
have a conversation,
00:54:58.26\00:54:59.93
I know you've tried,
00:54:59.96\00:55:01.30
it's hard to have a
conversation with pastor
00:55:01.33\00:55:02.86
about this without them
going, nope, you know, dismiss.
00:55:02.90\00:55:06.70
But when it's written,
00:55:06.74\00:55:08.54
and they've got the
scriptural references,
00:55:08.57\00:55:10.61
they can get in and
do a study for their own
00:55:10.64\00:55:13.11
and become convinced.
00:55:13.14\00:55:15.01
We give
scriptures on both sides.
00:55:15.04\00:55:17.05
So we say, let's where does
the weight of the evidence go?
00:55:17.08\00:55:20.15
We don't try to ignore
and just give a one side,
00:55:20.18\00:55:22.35
we show what the Bible says,
00:55:22.38\00:55:23.95
you know, whether it's on
the subject of the fire burns
00:55:23.99\00:55:27.79
forever and ever on salvation
00:55:27.82\00:55:29.52
to once saved always
saved, predestination.
00:55:29.56\00:55:32.26
So we try to cover
all those actually.
00:55:32.29\00:55:33.76
Yeah. Amen.
00:55:33.80\00:55:35.16
We're getting down
to the end of this hour
00:55:35.20\00:55:37.00
and I know we're
going to transition
00:55:37.03\00:55:38.37
some guests here some family.
00:55:38.40\00:55:39.73
Yeah, that's right.
00:55:39.77\00:55:41.10
But, Shelley, we
just have a moment left,
00:55:41.14\00:55:42.47
but why don't you
tell us about another way
00:55:42.50\00:55:43.91
people can evangelistically
partner with 3ABN?
00:55:43.94\00:55:46.71
This is blessings on the go.
00:55:46.74\00:55:48.08
Yes, and I just
want to thank all
00:55:48.11\00:55:50.28
of our Go evangelists out there.
00:55:50.31\00:55:52.85
Blessing on the
go, that is, of course,
00:55:52.88\00:55:56.62
Danny's slogan,
if you will, he has.
00:55:56.65\00:56:00.16
Since the day I met
him he's always said,
00:56:00.19\00:56:02.02
the blessings on the go.
00:56:02.06\00:56:03.93
And what The Blessing
on the Go team members do
00:56:03.96\00:56:09.66
is they support the
world evangelism of 3ABN,
00:56:09.70\00:56:14.74
as well as evangelism in
their local neighborhood.
00:56:14.77\00:56:18.27
You can become a team
member, you can go to 3abn.tv,
00:56:18.31\00:56:23.68
click on the
blessing is on the go banner.
00:56:23.71\00:56:28.02
And what will happen
is you receive a book,
00:56:28.05\00:56:31.05
you receive a certificate
00:56:31.09\00:56:32.82
and the book is called
The Blessings on the Go.
00:56:32.85\00:56:35.39
You will receive a certificate
00:56:35.42\00:56:37.49
that says you are
one of our team members.
00:56:37.53\00:56:42.43
And what you're doing is
when you, when you sign in,
00:56:42.46\00:56:45.67
The Blessing on the Go
Team support 3ABN monthly
00:56:45.70\00:56:50.21
with whatever amount you can.
00:56:50.24\00:56:52.77
And it can be if
you're from overseas,
00:56:52.81\00:56:55.34
you can do this through PayPal,
00:56:55.38\00:56:58.81
but it can be by credit
card or you can mail it in.
00:56:58.85\00:57:01.85
But you can also,
there's two steps you register
00:57:01.88\00:57:04.65
and say yeah, I want
to be a monthly supporter
00:57:04.69\00:57:07.76
of what 3ABN's doing.
00:57:07.79\00:57:09.62
But if you click
on the second step,
00:57:09.66\00:57:12.03
and you want,
00:57:12.06\00:57:13.40
you will receive
a monthly resource
00:57:13.43\00:57:17.53
that you can share.
00:57:17.57\00:57:18.97
And you know, we've got
some good sermons coming up.
00:57:19.00\00:57:21.84
It could be a
sermon, it could be a book.
