As you're well aware,
00:00:01.66\00:00:03.00
we're living in
unprecedented times.
00:00:03.03\00:00:05.60
Join us now for
Today special program.
00:00:05.63\00:00:07.94
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.71\00:00:18.31
Mending broken people
00:00:18.35\00:00:23.39
I want to spend my life
00:00:23.42\00:00:29.16
Removing pain
00:00:29.19\00:00:34.16
Lord, let my words
00:00:34.20\00:00:39.67
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:39.70\00:00:44.51
I want to spend my life
00:00:44.54\00:00:50.28
Mending broken people
00:00:50.31\00:00:55.32
I want to spend my life

Hello and welcome to 3ABN Live.
00:01:15.30\00:01:17.41
We're so glad that
you've joined us this evening.
00:01:17.44\00:01:18.91
Why?
00:01:18.94\00:01:20.28
Well, because you are family
and it's just so great to be
00:01:20.31\00:01:21.64
in your living room.
00:01:21.68\00:01:23.01
Or maybe you're
driving in your car
00:01:23.04\00:01:24.38
and listening
to us on the radio,
00:01:24.41\00:01:25.98
but we look forward to
spending these two hours
00:01:26.01\00:01:28.42
with you each Thursday evening.
00:01:28.45\00:01:30.35
And tonight's
program is entitled...
00:01:30.39\00:01:32.55
Is titled what can
I do for you, Lord?
00:01:32.59\00:01:35.22
Love the title.
00:01:35.26\00:01:36.59
We're going to be
giving some updates
00:01:36.62\00:01:37.96
on a couple of 3ABN projects.
00:01:37.99\00:01:39.86
I don't know if you
noticed on the wide shot,
00:01:39.89\00:01:41.66
you might have been looking
for Art and Pat Humphrey.
00:01:41.70\00:01:44.30
And, yes, they are still
on tonight's Live program.
00:01:44.33\00:01:46.74
They'll be joining us
in just a few moments.
00:01:46.77\00:01:48.67
Jill and I are on
for just a few minutes
00:01:48.70\00:01:50.61
and then we'll be, I think,
kind of transitioning now.
00:01:50.64\00:01:52.24
Is that right?
00:01:52.27\00:01:53.61
And Mr. Danny and Dr. Yvonne
00:01:53.64\00:01:54.98
will be
continuing the hosting aspect
00:01:55.01\00:01:56.88
with Art and Pat Humphrey.
00:01:56.91\00:01:58.81
But what a great
time to be alive, right?
00:01:58.85\00:02:00.18
In this time in earth's history.
00:02:00.22\00:02:02.48
I mean, what a
privilege we have.
00:02:02.52\00:02:03.85
You think about everything
00:02:03.89\00:02:05.22
that's going on in
the world, you know.
00:02:05.25\00:02:06.59
It seems like
COVID-19 just won't leave,
00:02:06.62\00:02:08.76
and you hear about
the fires and floods
00:02:08.79\00:02:10.93
and all kinds of disasters.
00:02:10.96\00:02:12.79
I was just on a
trip to Miami, Florida,
00:02:12.83\00:02:15.56
and there's so
many people worried,
00:02:15.60\00:02:17.27
just like the general public,
00:02:17.30\00:02:18.63
about what's
going on in the world.
00:02:18.67\00:02:20.84
But, you know, we have
something wonderful to share
00:02:20.87\00:02:23.61
and that is the
truth from God's Word.
00:02:23.64\00:02:25.74
As Mr. Danny always says,
00:02:25.77\00:02:27.11
"We've read the
end of the book,"
00:02:27.14\00:02:28.48
which is the end of the Bible.
00:02:28.51\00:02:29.84
And we know that Christ
is one that will be delivered
00:02:29.88\00:02:31.91
from this earth.
00:02:31.95\00:02:33.28
But while we're on this
earth, we have a privilege.
00:02:33.31\00:02:36.79
I don't want to
say an obligation.
00:02:36.82\00:02:38.15
We have a privilege of
sharing the love of Jesus,
00:02:38.19\00:02:40.96
and that there's hope, and
that there's something better
00:02:40.99\00:02:43.43
to look forward on.
00:02:43.46\00:02:44.79
So I'm looking forward
to this evening's program.
00:02:44.83\00:02:46.16
Amen. Me too.
00:02:46.19\00:02:47.53
We love, of course,
Art and Pat Humphrey.
00:02:47.56\00:02:48.90
We do.
00:02:48.93\00:02:50.27
We're looking
forward to hearing from them
00:02:50.30\00:02:51.63
in just a few minutes.
00:02:51.67\00:02:53.00
But first, we have the
privilege of hosting...
00:02:53.03\00:02:54.84
Yes, we do.
00:02:54.87\00:02:56.20
Danny and Dr.
Yvonne for a few minutes,
00:02:56.24\00:02:58.24
and talk to us about
this incredible project
00:02:58.27\00:03:00.71
we've talked about in the past.
00:03:00.74\00:03:02.44
Focus on Truth
and the three booklets
00:03:02.48\00:03:04.75
that the Lord led you to write,
00:03:04.78\00:03:06.28
and we're
partnering with our 3ABN family
00:03:06.31\00:03:09.48
evangelistically both
with the zip code mailings
00:03:09.52\00:03:12.42
and cases of these books.
00:03:12.45\00:03:13.79
So, tell us about the project?
00:03:13.82\00:03:16.19
Well, Greg, you couldn't
have done a better segue
00:03:16.22\00:03:19.46
if you wanted to.
00:03:19.49\00:03:20.83
And because we're
talking about truth.
00:03:20.86\00:03:22.23
That's right.
00:03:22.26\00:03:23.60
And, but everybody
talking about truth.
00:03:23.63\00:03:24.97
That's right.
00:03:25.00\00:03:26.33
If you turn on
television, you turn on CNN,
00:03:26.37\00:03:27.90
they're going to
tell you about truth.
00:03:27.94\00:03:29.37
If you're going to turn on Fox,
00:03:29.40\00:03:30.74
they're going to
tell you about the truth.
00:03:30.77\00:03:32.14
Yeah, there may
be totally opposites
00:03:32.17\00:03:33.94
on the opposite side...
00:03:33.98\00:03:35.31
Turn...
00:03:35.34\00:03:36.68
Go to one church and it says,
00:03:36.71\00:03:38.05
"We have the truth."
00:03:38.08\00:03:39.41
The other one says,
"We have the truth."
00:03:39.45\00:03:40.78
Well, I think most of us
as Christians know the truth
00:03:40.82\00:03:43.52
is the Lord Jesus Christ.
00:03:43.55\00:03:44.89
I'm the way, the truth.
00:03:44.92\00:03:46.25
And the light. Right?
00:03:46.29\00:03:47.62
But what is truth?
00:03:47.66\00:03:49.09
How do we decide that?
00:03:49.12\00:03:50.63
It's from the Bible.
00:03:50.66\00:03:51.99
My dad used to teach me,
00:03:52.03\00:03:53.36
you have to have a
foundation to go from.
00:03:53.40\00:03:54.90
He said,
00:03:54.93\00:03:56.26
"Son, it doesn't make any
difference what you think.
00:03:56.30\00:03:57.90
It doesn't..."
00:03:57.93\00:03:59.27
I'm just the way my dad did.
00:03:59.30\00:04:00.64
This certainly doesn't
make any difference what you...
00:04:00.67\00:04:02.34
Because I'd say, "Well,
dad, I think such and such."
00:04:02.37\00:04:04.24
"Son, it doesn't make any
difference what you think."
00:04:04.27\00:04:06.98
And then he would say,
00:04:07.01\00:04:08.34
"Doesn't make any
difference what I think,
00:04:08.38\00:04:09.91
it's what's the truth."
00:04:09.94\00:04:11.28
So how do you find truth?
00:04:11.31\00:04:13.21
You have to from a foundation.
00:04:13.25\00:04:15.12
We have the Bible.
The Bible's a Word of God.
00:04:15.15\00:04:17.65
But what happened is
00:04:17.69\00:04:19.02
the devil is out to
steal, kill, and to destroy
00:04:19.05\00:04:21.82
so he's out to
deceive the entire world.
00:04:21.86\00:04:24.46
There's a great
controversy going on,
00:04:24.49\00:04:26.29
whether we like it or not,
00:04:26.33\00:04:27.66
or want to be part of it or not.
00:04:27.70\00:04:29.20
So the devil is out doing
his job like a roaring lion,
00:04:29.23\00:04:32.27
the Bible says that he's out...
00:04:32.30\00:04:34.34
And that's his whole business.
00:04:34.37\00:04:35.70
But what happens...
00:04:35.74\00:04:37.07
We as Christians,
we become more timid.
00:04:37.11\00:04:38.77
Well, we don't want to,
you know, argue with people.
00:04:38.81\00:04:43.08
Well, we shouldn't argue,
00:04:43.11\00:04:44.45
but we should be
willing to stand up for truth.
00:04:44.48\00:04:46.75
Now how are we
going to find the truth?
00:04:46.78\00:04:48.25
From the Word of God.
00:04:48.28\00:04:49.62
So what makes the
difference, Yvonne,
00:04:49.65\00:04:52.02
for churches to some say,
00:04:52.05\00:04:54.99
"Well, this is truth.
00:04:55.02\00:04:56.36
This is truth.
00:04:56.39\00:04:57.73
This is truth."
00:04:57.76\00:04:59.09
And so the difference
is interpretation, right?
00:04:59.13\00:05:01.76
It's how you interpret it.
00:05:01.80\00:05:03.30
But for instance, we are...
00:05:03.33\00:05:06.33
We know that we're all
born with a terminal illness.
00:05:06.37\00:05:08.47
That's true. Yes.
00:05:08.50\00:05:09.84
And that's called death.
00:05:09.87\00:05:11.21
So we're all going to die.
00:05:11.24\00:05:12.57
The Bible says it's
appointed once a time
00:05:12.61\00:05:13.94
for every man to die.
00:05:13.98\00:05:15.54
So we're not
going to escape that.
00:05:15.58\00:05:17.21
And, you know,
only way of escape
00:05:17.25\00:05:19.41
is should the Lord
come during our lifetime.
00:05:19.45\00:05:21.98
Other than that...
00:05:22.02\00:05:23.35
So we're going to
spend eternity somewhere.
00:05:23.39\00:05:25.39
Are we going to spend
eternity in death, asleep?
00:05:25.42\00:05:28.42
As though we never were
destroyed at the second coming?
00:05:28.46\00:05:31.89
Or are we going to
spend eternity with Jesus?
00:05:31.93\00:05:34.90
So, for me, I would like to know
00:05:34.93\00:05:37.43
who am I going to
spend eternity with?
00:05:37.47\00:05:38.80
Absolutely.
00:05:38.83\00:05:40.17
You know, maybe I would rather
00:05:40.20\00:05:41.54
if it's going to
be with the devil,
00:05:41.57\00:05:42.90
I'd rather be dead and
not know anything about it
00:05:42.94\00:05:44.61
for eternity, right?
00:05:44.64\00:05:46.11
But if God is the God of love
00:05:46.14\00:05:48.28
that we all Christian
churches seem to teach,
00:05:48.31\00:05:51.28
then why are...
00:05:51.31\00:05:52.65
Why is the devil using us
00:05:52.68\00:05:54.45
to teach just the opposite?
00:05:54.48\00:05:56.28
So for instance, we
wrote several books,
00:05:56.32\00:05:58.49
and they're
called Focus on Truth.
00:05:58.52\00:06:00.56
This one's the
truth about hellfire.
00:06:00.59\00:06:02.82
So the truth is how can...
00:06:02.86\00:06:05.96
And here's where we have
to look to the Word of God.
00:06:05.99\00:06:08.56
How can a church tell...
00:06:08.60\00:06:10.23
And pastors
everywhere and evangelical...
00:06:10.27\00:06:12.43
I don't care if
it's Catholic Church.
00:06:12.47\00:06:13.94
Many...
00:06:13.97\00:06:15.30
Most churches teach you that
00:06:15.34\00:06:17.71
if you're good,
00:06:17.74\00:06:19.07
you're going to end up
in heaven for eternity.
00:06:19.11\00:06:20.91
No more sickness, no
more pain, no more sorrow.
00:06:20.94\00:06:22.88
Why? Because God is love.
00:06:22.91\00:06:25.61
Right? That's what's taught.
00:06:25.65\00:06:27.38
But on the other
hand, they get up and say...
00:06:27.42\00:06:30.72
I mean, this where
you hear the old term.
00:06:30.75\00:06:32.69
We're old enough, they may
not be, fire and brimstone.
00:06:32.72\00:06:34.82
Right.
00:06:34.86\00:06:36.19
Remember the old fire
and brimstone preacher?
00:06:36.22\00:06:37.96
And you got to
pound your fist too.
00:06:37.99\00:06:40.90
Let me tell you something,
00:06:40.93\00:06:42.26
you know, you're going
to burn in hell forever.
00:06:42.30\00:06:44.47
Well, wait a minute,
00:06:44.50\00:06:45.83
we have a God of
love we've just told...
00:06:45.87\00:06:47.80
But Johnny be good.
00:06:47.84\00:06:49.44
Jesus loves
you, He died for you,
00:06:49.47\00:06:51.44
made a plan of salvation for us,
00:06:51.47\00:06:53.21
He's coming back
for you very soon
00:06:53.24\00:06:55.14
in the clouds of glory but...
00:06:55.18\00:06:57.31
And then that but
is about this big.
00:06:57.35\00:06:59.15
It's great big, right?
00:06:59.18\00:07:00.52
B-U-T.
00:07:00.55\00:07:01.88
But if you're not good,
you're going to burn forever
00:07:01.92\00:07:06.39
and ever and ever through all
the ceaseless ages of eternity.
00:07:06.42\00:07:11.53
You or maybe your mother,
your father, your brother,
00:07:11.56\00:07:13.63
your sister, your husband, wife.
00:07:13.66\00:07:15.00
They're going to be in
heaven enjoying all this bliss,
00:07:15.03\00:07:17.57
and you're going to
be crying and screaming,
00:07:17.60\00:07:20.00
And I mean, that's
exactly opposite teaching.
00:07:20.04\00:07:24.11
So you don't need
the world, because see,
00:07:24.14\00:07:26.21
I don't care what
an atheist tells me,
00:07:26.24\00:07:28.18
because they
don't believe in God.
00:07:28.21\00:07:29.54
So hey, you got
no influence on me.
00:07:29.58\00:07:31.41
But when the devil
decided I'm going to come in,
00:07:31.45\00:07:34.28
he saw through the dark ages
00:07:34.32\00:07:36.18
he couldn't
destroy the Church of God.
00:07:36.22\00:07:38.59
So he decided to come in
and sit on the pews beside us.
00:07:38.62\00:07:41.59
He decided to wave little,
00:07:41.62\00:07:44.09
you know, little
flags here and there,
00:07:44.13\00:07:45.69
little flags and say,
00:07:45.73\00:07:47.06
"Hey, join my little group.
00:07:47.10\00:07:48.43
Join this little group.
00:07:48.46\00:07:49.80
We're all on the same team.
00:07:49.83\00:07:51.47
We're all Christians.
Let's just join that.
00:07:51.50\00:07:54.20
But now we're going to
teach you lies about God."
00:07:54.24\00:07:56.60
So now if I find out...
00:07:56.64\00:07:58.91
How can I find out
God is a God of love?
00:07:58.94\00:08:01.58
The Bible says...
00:08:01.61\00:08:02.94
And then I have my own pastors.
00:08:02.98\00:08:05.21
We don't have ours,
but I'm saying in general
00:08:05.25\00:08:07.48
pastors and people teaching.
00:08:07.52\00:08:09.25
If you're not good,
you're going to be tortured.
00:08:09.28\00:08:11.59
So we decided only
one way to find truth.
00:08:11.62\00:08:14.29
You go to the Bible,
and find out the truth.
00:08:14.32\00:08:16.73
If I'm going to
spend eternity with God,
00:08:16.76\00:08:19.23
I want to know
that He really is love.
00:08:19.26\00:08:21.50
Because that's
what the Bible says.
00:08:21.53\00:08:23.03
So thus the
truth about hellfire.
00:08:23.06\00:08:26.03
So in this it
says what happens to us
00:08:26.07\00:08:28.30
when we die and
is God really love?
00:08:28.34\00:08:31.44
So we find out about
the character of God.
00:08:31.47\00:08:34.04
And if He's really God of
love, how could He torture us
00:08:34.08\00:08:38.01
for eternity without
any chance of repentance?
00:08:38.05\00:08:41.78
I want folks to chew
on that for just a second.
00:08:41.82\00:08:44.72
What good does it do to have
a fire that burns for eternity
00:08:44.75\00:08:50.26
with people being tortured
with no chance of repentance?
00:08:50.29\00:08:54.46
Now how can you say
that's the God of love?
00:08:54.50\00:08:56.53
I wouldn't do
that to a cat or a dog.
00:08:56.56\00:08:59.67
You wouldn't either.
Wouldn't do it to any animal.
00:08:59.70\00:09:02.14
I wouldn't do it to a snake.
00:09:02.17\00:09:03.51
And I'm not
particularly fond of snakes.
00:09:03.54\00:09:05.24
You wouldn't do that.
00:09:05.27\00:09:06.74
So how can a
God of love do that?
00:09:06.78\00:09:08.51
So the truth is in the Bible.
00:09:08.54\00:09:10.75
The weight of the
evidence we have to look at.
00:09:10.78\00:09:13.38
And there are
scriptures that say,
00:09:13.42\00:09:14.75
"Oh, they burn
forever and ever."
00:09:14.78\00:09:16.38
Somebody said,
"well, it says..."
00:09:16.42\00:09:18.02
You know, well,
00:09:18.05\00:09:19.39
it also says
00:09:19.42\00:09:20.76
Sodom and Gomorrah
burned forever and ever,
00:09:20.79\00:09:22.16
but they're not burning today.
00:09:22.19\00:09:23.53
Right?
00:09:23.56\00:09:24.89
So we have to look at the
terms what does forever mean?
00:09:24.93\00:09:28.23
So anyway, without
going into all of that, but...
00:09:28.26\00:09:31.10
I'd just like to
add that with this,
00:09:31.13\00:09:34.07
so many churches teach
about hellfire and the fact
00:09:34.10\00:09:39.47
that people are being
tortured day in and day out,
00:09:39.51\00:09:43.01
year in and year
out through eternity
00:09:43.04\00:09:46.58
from the beginning of time.
00:09:46.61\00:09:48.48
And so how could a
God of love do that?
00:09:48.52\00:09:52.29
But so many people are
so entrenched in that belief
00:09:52.32\00:09:56.32
that they get angry if you
say that there's no hellfire.
00:09:56.36\00:09:59.66
So It has to be
proven from the Word of God.
00:09:59.69\00:10:03.26
And the Word shows us
00:10:03.30\00:10:05.47
that there is no
fire burning right now.
00:10:05.50\00:10:08.47
And I love how you developed
that whole theme in here.
00:10:08.50\00:10:12.94
The theme of God's love,
00:10:12.97\00:10:14.88
because that's really
at the core of this belief.
00:10:14.91\00:10:17.65
Is He a God of love or is He
a God of vengeance and torture?
00:10:17.68\00:10:23.22
And so I'm really...
00:10:23.25\00:10:25.29
This book...
00:10:25.32\00:10:26.65
If you have any
question about hellfire,
00:10:26.69\00:10:29.36
and there are a lot
of Christians who do
00:10:29.39\00:10:31.03
because of tradition.
00:10:31.06\00:10:32.89
If you have any
questions about it,
00:10:32.93\00:10:34.86
this is a Bible study.
00:10:34.90\00:10:36.23
This is not a thus saith Danny.
00:10:36.26\00:10:38.07
This is a Bible study on what
the Word says about hellfire.
00:10:38.10\00:10:42.50
So it's really...
00:10:42.54\00:10:43.87
It's really a blessing.
00:10:43.91\00:10:45.24
I talked to one
evangelical preacher about it.
00:10:45.27\00:10:49.34
And I said,
00:10:49.38\00:10:50.71
"The truth of it is
when you really study it,
00:10:50.75\00:10:52.65
there's no such
thing as hellfire
00:10:52.68\00:10:54.98
that burns forever and ever."
00:10:55.02\00:10:57.25
And I said, "Why
would you teach that?"
00:10:57.29\00:10:59.12
And he said,
00:10:59.15\00:11:00.49
"How else you're
going to get people saved?"
00:11:00.52\00:11:02.19
Young people. Use
it as a scare tactic.
00:11:02.22\00:11:04.49
Yes, scare them into...
00:11:04.53\00:11:06.09
I said, "You just teach
him about the love of God."
00:11:06.13\00:11:08.10
That's right.
00:11:08.13\00:11:09.46
I love your approach on this
really because you talk about
00:11:09.50\00:11:11.23
what happens when a person dies.
00:11:11.27\00:11:13.47
And then I like here it
says, "Death is like a sleep."
00:11:13.50\00:11:15.40
But then toward the
end, I also like this too.
00:11:15.44\00:11:17.27
These little subtitles,
I guess we could call them.
00:11:17.31\00:11:19.54
It says, "God's
love gives us a choice."
00:11:19.57\00:11:23.28
And I love these booklets
because they're not that long.
00:11:23.31\00:11:25.61
May I say they're an easy
read but it's a Bible study,
00:11:25.65\00:11:27.68
48 pages
beautifully illustrated.
00:11:27.72\00:11:30.75
And I like, you know,
when you think hellfire
00:11:30.79\00:11:32.25
you think a lot of times
you see like devil pitchfork
00:11:32.29\00:11:34.86
and all this torture going on.
00:11:34.89\00:11:37.06
But the illustrations
in here are phenomenal.
00:11:37.09\00:11:39.13
Because in this books...
Let's see if I can find this.
00:11:39.16\00:11:40.96
Here, look at this.
00:11:41.00\00:11:42.33
You've got Christ's second
coming and at the very end...
00:11:42.36\00:11:46.30
Nathan Greene.
00:11:46.33\00:11:47.67
Nathan Greene. Yep.
00:11:47.70\00:11:49.04
But right at the
very end, look at that.
00:11:49.07\00:11:50.41
You know, hellfire...
00:11:50.44\00:11:51.77
You know, a lot of times
when people talk hellfire,
00:11:51.81\00:11:53.14
you don't see...
00:11:53.17\00:11:54.51
This showing
Christ as love. Right?
00:11:54.54\00:11:56.51
He's extending an
invitation to you.
00:11:56.54\00:11:59.15
This is who I am as Christ.
00:11:59.18\00:12:01.02
I'm a God of love.
00:12:01.05\00:12:02.38
I'm not here to torture you.
00:12:02.42\00:12:03.75
So great approach.
00:12:03.79\00:12:05.12
God hates sin, but
He loves the sinner.
00:12:05.15\00:12:06.49
He does. Amen.
00:12:06.52\00:12:07.86
And so He's not out
here to torture anyone.
00:12:07.89\00:12:09.52
So will sin be
done away with that?
00:12:09.56\00:12:12.73
You know, second
coming of Christ,
00:12:12.76\00:12:16.03
and then 1000-year millennium.
00:12:16.06\00:12:17.60
When that's all done,
will sin be done away with?
00:12:17.63\00:12:19.30
Yes.
00:12:19.33\00:12:20.67
And will there be a
fire, that consuming fire?
00:12:20.70\00:12:22.97
But that's the... The
key right there, consuming.
00:12:23.00\00:12:25.44
It consumes.
00:12:25.47\00:12:26.81
Exactly.
00:12:26.84\00:12:28.18
So there's not, you
know, residual burning
00:12:28.21\00:12:30.81
and being tortured.
00:12:30.85\00:12:32.18
See the other quickly...
00:12:32.21\00:12:33.55
Well, you want
to tell people too,
00:12:33.58\00:12:34.92
because we're
talking about these books.
00:12:34.95\00:12:36.28
You're going to talk
about the other two titles.
00:12:36.32\00:12:37.65
But in just a moment,
we're going to tell you
00:12:37.69\00:12:39.02
how you can actually get these.
00:12:39.05\00:12:40.39
And I like tonight's title,
what can I do for you, Lord?
00:12:40.42\00:12:44.13
Well, one thing is He
wants us to witness and to share
00:12:44.16\00:12:46.56
what we've learned.
00:12:46.59\00:12:47.93
So we're telling you
about these wonderful booklets
00:12:47.96\00:12:49.66
and about an
exciting evangelistic way
00:12:49.70\00:12:51.43
that you can become involved.
00:12:51.47\00:12:52.80
So we'll tell you about that
in just a couple of moments,
00:12:52.83\00:12:54.17
but there's two more titles.
00:12:54.20\00:12:55.54
So we have truth about hellfire.
00:12:55.57\00:12:56.91
I'll make this quicker.
00:12:56.94\00:12:58.27
One of the things for is
the truth about salvation.
00:12:58.31\00:13:00.81
Amen.
00:13:00.84\00:13:02.18
And it's so important.
00:13:02.21\00:13:03.55
So now if I decide that
I want to spend eternity
00:13:03.58\00:13:06.51
somewhere else than being dead
or in what they say, hellfire.
00:13:06.55\00:13:11.25
What's my other options?
00:13:11.29\00:13:12.92
Well, where am I going to go?
00:13:12.95\00:13:14.29
I'm going to go
back to the foundation.
00:13:14.32\00:13:15.69
What's the
foundation? It's the Bible.
00:13:15.72\00:13:18.03
So now we got to go
through the Bible, examine it,
00:13:18.06\00:13:21.20
and see what it
says about salvation.
00:13:21.23\00:13:22.93
Now some of you say,
00:13:22.96\00:13:24.30
"Well, that's simple.
00:13:24.33\00:13:25.67
You just come to the
Lord and confess your sins."
00:13:25.70\00:13:27.07
Yeah, I realize that.
00:13:27.10\00:13:28.44
But, again, the
devil is not happy
00:13:28.47\00:13:30.81
with people teaching the truth.
00:13:30.84\00:13:32.71
So now we're going to discuss
once saved, always saved.
00:13:32.74\00:13:36.95
So that's...
00:13:36.98\00:13:38.31
Is there such a
thing as once saved,
00:13:38.35\00:13:39.85
always saved?
00:13:39.88\00:13:41.22
You become to...
00:13:41.25\00:13:42.58
Become a Christian
when you're nine years old
00:13:42.62\00:13:43.95
now you don't worry
about it the rest of your life?
00:13:43.99\00:13:46.05
Is there such a
thing as predestination?
00:13:46.09\00:13:49.29
So I've heard people say,
00:13:49.32\00:13:50.73
"Well, it really doesn't
make any difference what I do.
00:13:50.76\00:13:52.93
I was predestined,
either be saved or lost
00:13:52.96\00:13:55.20
so I just live my
life the way I want to."
00:13:55.23\00:13:57.77
So we did a study,
we go through the Bible.
00:13:57.80\00:14:00.77
Again, we try to get
the weight of evidence.
00:14:00.80\00:14:03.64
And so salvation...
00:14:03.67\00:14:05.01
And this is one of the things,
00:14:05.04\00:14:06.51
you know, that I think we
as Seventh-day Adventists,
00:14:06.54\00:14:08.94
and many of us are,
00:14:08.98\00:14:10.31
many of you are
not, but those...
00:14:10.35\00:14:11.88
And maybe your church too.
00:14:11.91\00:14:13.25
We could spend more
time on salvation because,
00:14:13.28\00:14:16.22
again, it teaches us
the character of God.
00:14:16.25\00:14:19.95
And so we...
00:14:19.99\00:14:21.32
If we understand
the character of God,
00:14:21.36\00:14:23.22
we understand that God is love.
00:14:23.26\00:14:24.99
So that brought us
to once we are saved,
00:14:25.03\00:14:28.26
then what does
God expect out of us?
00:14:28.30\00:14:30.53
Well, this one's the
truth about focus on,
00:14:30.57\00:14:33.23
but the truth about
the Ten Commandments.
00:14:33.27\00:14:35.87
So now are the Ten Commandments,
00:14:35.90\00:14:37.97
have they been done away with?
00:14:38.01\00:14:39.57
Were they nailed to the cross?
00:14:39.61\00:14:41.34
Let's find out.
00:14:41.38\00:14:42.78
What about old
covenant Christian,
00:14:42.81\00:14:44.78
new Covenant Christian?
00:14:44.81\00:14:46.15
Which one are you?
00:14:46.18\00:14:47.75
How do people get
saved in the Old Testament?
00:14:47.78\00:14:50.39
So we go through the sanctuary.
00:14:50.42\00:14:52.42
So the Lord really blessed,
because I'm not a theologian,
00:14:52.45\00:14:55.36
but the Lord
blessed Yvonne, blessed...
00:14:55.39\00:14:57.63
She did editing and have
worked so hard on this with me.
00:14:57.66\00:15:00.96
But we know there's
times when you write a song...
00:15:01.00\00:15:04.83
And I've written songs,
00:15:04.87\00:15:06.20
and I've heard
Lanny Wolfe and others.
00:15:06.23\00:15:07.57
You know that God did it.
00:15:07.60\00:15:09.27
It's like He took the pen...
00:15:09.30\00:15:12.01
So anything that's bad in here,
00:15:12.04\00:15:14.44
you don't like,
or it's not good,
00:15:14.48\00:15:15.81
I'm not putting that on God.
00:15:15.84\00:15:17.38
But I'm saying in
general, these we know...
00:15:17.41\00:15:20.12
These books are based on truth.
00:15:20.15\00:15:22.65
So, to me, we're doing a series.
00:15:22.68\00:15:25.25
There's probably...
00:15:25.29\00:15:26.62
There's going to be 9 or 12.
00:15:26.65\00:15:27.99
We're looking at all
the different topics.
00:15:28.02\00:15:29.76
These are the first three.
00:15:29.79\00:15:31.19
So we've had 6 million printed.
00:15:31.23\00:15:33.06
Yeah, it's amazing.
00:15:33.09\00:15:34.43
I think a couple million orders
00:15:34.46\00:15:35.80
all together
including the Philippines and...
00:15:35.83\00:15:37.67
Oh, yes. Trinidad and Tobago.
00:15:37.70\00:15:39.37
Papua New Guinea,
Trinidad and Tobago.
00:15:39.40\00:15:41.77
Going into prisons.
00:15:41.80\00:15:43.27
We're just starting to
work on that, so, yeah.
00:15:43.30\00:15:46.27
I'm so excited.
00:15:46.31\00:15:47.64
So what happened is, because
of COVID and everything else...
00:15:47.68\00:15:51.01
So it started in... You know,
when we brought the COVID...
00:15:51.05\00:15:55.28
After COVID, what next?
00:15:55.32\00:15:57.15
But we've seen that people
couldn't go out door to door
00:15:57.19\00:15:59.99
now a lot more that,
00:16:00.02\00:16:01.52
but there's a number of options.
00:16:01.56\00:16:03.09
But the Lord blessed...
00:16:03.12\00:16:04.49
We...
00:16:04.53\00:16:05.86
Private donations in general,
00:16:05.89\00:16:08.46
literally made
this book available
00:16:08.50\00:16:10.87
to anybody who wants it
00:16:10.90\00:16:12.90
and has made it so easy.
00:16:12.93\00:16:14.47
You don't even
have to go door to door
00:16:14.50\00:16:16.57
if you don't want to.
00:16:16.60\00:16:17.94
So that's where we should
turn it over to Greg and Jill,
00:16:17.97\00:16:21.34
because last time Yvonne and
me were on a program by ourself
00:16:21.38\00:16:25.21
and we were trying to
explain that part of it,
00:16:25.25\00:16:28.08
we were looking each other.
00:16:28.12\00:16:29.75
And like we say, it
was a deer in headlights.
00:16:29.78\00:16:32.49
It was like,
Yvonne, now we... I know.
00:16:32.52\00:16:35.42
I'm not sure how we
are... I said I need Jill here.
00:16:35.46\00:16:38.13
She just
explained it so beautifully.
00:16:40.30\00:16:41.63
You both did
well. You did great.
00:16:41.66\00:16:44.20
So thankfully, you're here
so you can tell folks how...
00:16:44.23\00:16:48.24
And how they come and
they are shipped in...
00:16:48.27\00:16:49.60
This envelope.
00:16:49.64\00:16:50.97
Yeah, okay.
00:16:51.01\00:16:52.34
So we have two
options for you tonight,
00:16:52.37\00:16:54.61
and you can call us
or you can order online.
00:16:54.64\00:16:57.35
So I want to
discuss the two options.
00:16:57.38\00:16:59.18
The first is a zip code mailing.
00:16:59.21\00:17:01.45
This is where you partner
with the ministry of 3ABN.
00:17:01.48\00:17:03.99
In order to do
this, you need to call us.
00:17:04.02\00:17:06.96
So call us right
now at (618) 627-4651.
00:17:06.99\00:17:12.69
That number again
is (618) 627-4651.
00:17:12.73\00:17:17.03
And all you have to say is, yes,
00:17:17.07\00:17:18.43
I want to sponsor a
zip code in my area.
00:17:18.47\00:17:21.40
It can be your local town,
or maybe a neighboring town,
00:17:21.44\00:17:24.81
or whatever you would like.
00:17:24.84\00:17:27.18
And we can tell you
right then on the phone,
00:17:27.21\00:17:29.71
there's this many homes
and this is what it would be.
00:17:29.74\00:17:32.05
It is 50 cents per home.
00:17:32.08\00:17:35.55
So because some
people have stepped forward
00:17:35.58\00:17:38.35
and paid for the printing cost,
00:17:38.39\00:17:40.62
all the cost is 50 cents to
ship three of these booklets
00:17:40.66\00:17:44.59
in this envelope...
00:17:44.63\00:17:46.23
I love it.
00:17:46.26\00:17:47.60
To the zip code of your choice.
00:17:47.63\00:17:49.46
So you just
multiply the 50 cents
00:17:49.50\00:17:51.30
by however many
homes you want to sponsor.
00:17:51.33\00:17:54.04
So call us right now
for the zip code mailing,
00:17:54.07\00:17:56.60
it's at (618) 627-4651.
00:17:56.64\00:18:01.01
Now not to muddy the waters,
00:18:01.04\00:18:02.91
but if you want to
sponsor zip code mailing
00:18:02.94\00:18:05.05
and you don't
care where it goes,
00:18:05.08\00:18:06.92
you just want to
give money toward that.
00:18:06.95\00:18:08.75
You can do that online.
00:18:08.78\00:18:10.79
You can go to 3abn.tv.
00:18:10.82\00:18:13.59
There's a banner at the
top, just click on that.
00:18:13.62\00:18:15.79
It says, "The Focus on Truth."
00:18:15.82\00:18:17.66
And it will take you
there and you can pick...
00:18:17.69\00:18:20.03
I want to give $100, or $1000,
00:18:20.06\00:18:21.90
or whatever you want to
give for zip code mailings.
00:18:21.93\00:18:24.50
If you do it that way, 3ABN's
going to pick the zip codes.
00:18:24.53\00:18:27.84
We're trying to do
some of the large cities
00:18:27.87\00:18:29.84
and get it out that way.
00:18:29.87\00:18:31.57
The other option for
you tonight is cases.
00:18:31.61\00:18:34.71
We have these
available by the case.
00:18:34.74\00:18:37.11
You can get a case of
Focus on Truth about Hellfire.
00:18:37.15\00:18:40.82
There's 250 booklets in a case,
00:18:40.85\00:18:44.29
or you can get Focus
on Truth about Salvation,
00:18:44.32\00:18:47.12
or Focus on Truth
about the Ten Commandments.
00:18:47.16\00:18:49.32
You can pick one
case or 10 cases,
00:18:49.36\00:18:52.13
or one of each of the
cases, and it's only $16.50
00:18:52.16\00:18:58.10
for a whole
case of 250 booklets.
00:18:58.13\00:19:01.80
So if you've got
250 of this set...
00:19:01.84\00:19:03.84
That's right.
00:19:03.87\00:19:05.21
That's 750
booklets for like $49.50.
00:19:05.24\00:19:08.31
That's right.
00:19:08.34\00:19:09.68
That's 750 books for $150.
00:19:09.71\00:19:12.35
And one thing that people
00:19:12.38\00:19:13.72
have been
confused with is that we...
00:19:13.75\00:19:15.08
They think that
we're sending the envelope
00:19:15.12\00:19:16.62
along with the cases.
00:19:16.65\00:19:18.32
That we're not doing.
00:19:18.35\00:19:19.69
The envelope... Only zip code.
00:19:19.72\00:19:21.22
And these three booklets
is for the zip code mailing.
00:19:21.26\00:19:23.59
It will go together.
00:19:23.63\00:19:24.96
But if we send you a case,
00:19:24.99\00:19:26.33
you're just
getting the booklets.
00:19:26.36\00:19:27.70
That's because
you are going around
00:19:27.73\00:19:29.86
and you are
passing out the booklets
00:19:29.90\00:19:32.60
in your
community, in your church.
00:19:32.63\00:19:34.97
You're going door to door,
00:19:35.00\00:19:36.34
you're sharing it
00:19:36.37\00:19:37.71
with your family
and with your friends.
00:19:37.74\00:19:39.07
You can call us
to order the cases.
00:19:39.11\00:19:40.44
It's just $16.50 a case, or
you can order them online...
00:19:40.48\00:19:43.78
Yeah, it's very
easy. At 3abn.tv.
00:19:43.81\00:19:47.62
Just go to
3abn.tv and you can pick
00:19:47.65\00:19:49.98
however many
cases you want to order,
00:19:50.02\00:19:51.69
and you can order that way.
00:19:51.72\00:19:53.25
It's an incredible
evangelistic opportunity
00:19:53.29\00:19:57.79
to get truth into homes.
00:19:57.83\00:19:59.16
I agree.
00:19:59.19\00:20:00.53
You know, and I don't
know if you like to be
00:20:00.56\00:20:01.90
put on the spot, okay,
but I'm going to anyway.
00:20:01.93\00:20:03.40
Okay? So I have
a question for you.
00:20:03.43\00:20:05.87
How much is a US postage stamp?
00:20:05.90\00:20:10.21
You got it, 55 cents.
00:20:10.24\00:20:11.71
You know, I just
put one on an envelope
00:20:11.74\00:20:13.17
and put one in my
mailbox here just this week.
00:20:13.21\00:20:14.98
There we go. Wow, the
production crew's fast.
00:20:15.01\00:20:16.88
US postage stamp 55 cents.
00:20:16.91\00:20:19.45
Now next question,
what did Jill just say
00:20:19.48\00:20:22.35
it would cost to
send the three booklets
00:20:22.38\00:20:24.75
in one of these
envelopes to zip code
00:20:24.79\00:20:26.35
of your choice per packet?
00:20:26.39\00:20:27.86
Do you remember what she said?
00:20:27.89\00:20:29.36
All right, some of
you were listening.
00:20:29.39\00:20:30.73
50 cents, do the math.
00:20:30.76\00:20:32.99
That's five cents
less than US postage stamp.
00:20:33.03\00:20:36.43
We call that a
miracle of the Lord.
00:20:36.46\00:20:38.57
I mean, this is a phenomenal
evangelism opportunity.
00:20:38.60\00:20:42.30
You get that the
books and the shipping?
00:20:42.34\00:20:44.34
Mr. Danny, that's all of that.
00:20:44.37\00:20:45.77
The postage, and the
booklets, and the envelope
00:20:45.81\00:20:49.18
going to someone
in your neighborhood.
00:20:49.21\00:20:50.65
I mean, that is amazing.
00:20:50.68\00:20:52.05
Fifty cents?
00:20:52.08\00:20:53.95
You know, God provides these
opportunities and we don't know
00:20:53.98\00:20:56.15
how long these
opportunities are going to last.
00:20:56.18\00:20:57.62
We can't say, "Well, you
know, that seems pretty good
00:20:57.65\00:20:59.32
but maybe I'll
wait till next year."
00:20:59.35\00:21:00.69
You know what?
00:21:00.72\00:21:02.06
I'm going to
encourage you to do that now.
00:21:02.09\00:21:03.43
If the Holy Spirit is
impressing you to say,
00:21:03.46\00:21:04.79
"You know what?
00:21:04.83\00:21:06.16
I need to sponsor
something in my area
00:21:06.19\00:21:07.53
of the United
States or someplace else."
00:21:07.56\00:21:08.90
You may say, "You know what?
00:21:08.93\00:21:10.27
I want to go to
Omaha, Nebraska."
00:21:10.30\00:21:11.63
Okay, call the call
center like Jill's saying.
00:21:11.67\00:21:13.23
We can see if it's
already been sponsored.
00:21:13.27\00:21:14.60
If not, we'll
tell you other areas,
00:21:14.64\00:21:15.97
and just send it out there
00:21:16.00\00:21:17.34
because God wants
us to sow the word,
00:21:17.37\00:21:20.11
sow the truth from the Bible,
00:21:20.14\00:21:22.14
and that's what's
in these booklets.
00:21:22.18\00:21:23.51
And then God does the increase.
00:21:23.55\00:21:25.11
He just wants us to do it.
00:21:25.15\00:21:26.48
And we have the privilege.
00:21:26.51\00:21:27.98
Think about this.
00:21:28.02\00:21:29.35
It's a privilege
00:21:29.38\00:21:30.72
that God can use us as a vessel
00:21:30.75\00:21:32.15
that He can pour through.
00:21:32.19\00:21:33.52
And I will guarantee you,
guarantee you that in heaven,
00:21:33.56\00:21:36.42
someone will come
up to you and say,
00:21:36.46\00:21:37.79
"Thank you so much for sending
this packet to me in the mail."
00:21:37.83\00:21:40.56
You'll say,
"Well, I don't know you."
00:21:40.60\00:21:41.93
"That's right, you don't.
00:21:41.96\00:21:43.30
The Holy Spirit knew I was ready
00:21:43.33\00:21:44.67
and ripe for the harvest
00:21:44.70\00:21:46.03
and God used you
to bring them truth."
00:21:46.07\00:21:48.24
I mean, it's just...
It's exciting. Very exciting.
00:21:48.27\00:21:50.27
Our local church is
involved here in this area too.
00:21:50.31\00:21:52.77
Yeah, sponsoring
our local area here.
00:21:52.81\00:21:54.58
It's what an opportunity.
00:21:54.61\00:21:56.21
I'm excited.
00:21:56.24\00:21:57.58
You can probably tell that so...
00:21:57.61\00:21:58.95
Anyway, what a
great opportunity.
00:21:58.98\00:22:00.32
Go ahead, Dr. Yvonne.
00:22:00.35\00:22:01.68
You know, there's no excuse.
00:22:01.72\00:22:03.08
We don't have any excuses now.
00:22:03.12\00:22:04.92
If you can make a
phone call, you can witness.
00:22:04.95\00:22:07.96
There you go.
00:22:07.99\00:22:09.32
You can witness if...
00:22:09.36\00:22:10.69
A lot of people are
shy, they don't want to...
00:22:10.73\00:22:12.06
And with COVID, I don't
want to go door to door.
00:22:12.09\00:22:14.03
I don't want to pass out...
Okay, you have another option.
00:22:14.06\00:22:17.27
You can call and you can donate,
00:22:17.30\00:22:20.60
and you can get a whole zip code
00:22:20.64\00:22:23.27
in your neighborhood
00:22:23.30\00:22:24.64
or somewhere
else in the country.
00:22:24.67\00:22:26.24
Chicago needs it desperately.
00:22:26.27\00:22:28.84
You know, there are
all these major cities
00:22:28.88\00:22:31.38
that are in such turmoil.
00:22:31.41\00:22:32.75
They need it desperately.
00:22:32.78\00:22:35.22
People need the Lord.
00:22:35.25\00:22:37.85
And the only way, the best
way to do it is, I believe,
00:22:37.89\00:22:42.39
through media and
through literature
00:22:42.42\00:22:44.13
and to just as you were
just saying, sow the area.
00:22:44.16\00:22:47.10
That's right.
00:22:47.13\00:22:48.46
Spread it out like
the leaves of autumn.
00:22:48.50\00:22:50.17
Get these books out
and all you have to do
00:22:50.20\00:22:52.63
is make a phone call.
00:22:52.67\00:22:54.00
It's as easy as a phone call.
00:22:54.04\00:22:55.37
See the gospel should be, to me,
00:22:55.40\00:22:58.21
put out in the least
expensive way it should be.
00:22:58.24\00:23:00.38
That's right.
00:23:00.41\00:23:01.74
Other words, not cost.
00:23:01.78\00:23:03.11
It's not how much money you have
00:23:03.14\00:23:04.88
so that you can do whatever.
00:23:04.91\00:23:06.85
So we've tried to take
that out of it by asking donors
00:23:06.88\00:23:10.99
that are larger
donors that can afford it.
00:23:11.02\00:23:13.32
And, you know, a lot
of people can't afford
00:23:13.36\00:23:15.79
that kind of money,
but people can give 100.
00:23:15.82\00:23:18.43
You can give $100, or
$50, or $20, whatever,
00:23:18.46\00:23:22.10
as Jill said, when
you go to the website.
00:23:22.13\00:23:24.27
And then we can
choose the zip codes
00:23:24.30\00:23:26.17
or if you want your area
done but to do it for 50 cents.
00:23:26.20\00:23:30.67
So we're trying to make it.
It's like Christian education.
00:23:30.71\00:23:33.51
There's so much.
00:23:33.54\00:23:34.88
It's so expensive sometimes...
00:23:34.91\00:23:36.61
I was talking to
somebody this week.
00:23:36.64\00:23:38.15
They said, "I have
to send my kids to,
00:23:38.18\00:23:41.22
you know, the community college
00:23:41.25\00:23:42.88
because I can't
afford Christian education."
00:23:42.92\00:23:45.55
Something's wrong with that.
00:23:45.59\00:23:46.92
I'm not here to complain,
but Christian education
00:23:46.96\00:23:49.56
should not be more expensive
than colleges, than the world.
00:23:49.59\00:23:55.03
Our literature
should not be more expensive
00:23:55.06\00:23:57.53
than what you're
going to buy in the world.
00:23:57.57\00:23:59.40
We should have this...
00:23:59.43\00:24:00.77
So this is, to me,
I'm so excited about it
00:24:00.80\00:24:03.91
that we have people
that we shared the vision
00:24:03.94\00:24:06.21
with that said, "Let us help."
00:24:06.24\00:24:07.58
Amen.
00:24:07.61\00:24:08.94
And so now for at
least 6 million of these,
00:24:08.98\00:24:10.45
I think maybe a couple million
in the last several weeks
00:24:10.48\00:24:13.25
have been ordered so far.
00:24:13.28\00:24:15.88
But we still while they last,
00:24:15.92\00:24:17.79
and hopefully
we're going to have
00:24:17.82\00:24:19.69
by the end of the
year or first of the year
00:24:19.72\00:24:22.02
we're going to have
three different topics.
00:24:22.06\00:24:23.79
And then we're going to
do the rapture and several...
00:24:23.83\00:24:26.19
You remember the other ones?
00:24:26.23\00:24:28.26
We got them written down
anyway at home in a order.
00:24:28.30\00:24:31.27
The Sabbath? Is that one or not?
00:24:31.30\00:24:32.63
The Lord's day. The Lord's day.
00:24:32.67\00:24:34.00
Yeah.
00:24:34.04\00:24:35.37
To decide which
day is the Lord's day
00:24:35.40\00:24:36.74
and go through that.
00:24:36.77\00:24:38.11
So a number of things like
00:24:38.14\00:24:39.47
that and we're coming from
a little bit different angle
00:24:39.51\00:24:41.88
if I can use that
because the Lord's day...
00:24:41.91\00:24:44.38
If you write about the Sabbath,
not everybody's interested.
00:24:44.41\00:24:46.88
But if you say the
truth about the Lord's day,
00:24:46.92\00:24:49.62
well, we do want to
find out about the truth.
00:24:49.65\00:24:51.72
So, to me, Greg, to be able
to get this and to do it for,
00:24:51.75\00:24:55.66
as you said, for
less than one stamp,
00:24:55.69\00:24:58.16
it almost leaves us
without excuse to say,
00:24:58.19\00:25:00.86
"Well, I can't afford to do it."
00:25:00.90\00:25:02.90
Or a church. What church?
00:25:02.93\00:25:04.57
Or really most
of us individuals,
00:25:04.60\00:25:06.84
but what church couldn't afford
00:25:06.87\00:25:09.70
250 of each one for $49.50?
00:25:09.74\00:25:13.94
So it's really how important,
00:25:13.98\00:25:16.34
you know, is
getting the gospel out?
00:25:16.38\00:25:18.61
You may have other
ways, that's great.
00:25:18.65\00:25:20.48
But if you don't and you want
a way that's very inexpensive.
00:25:20.52\00:25:24.32
So 750 books for less than
$50 to have the whole series,
00:25:24.35\00:25:30.33
this is the way to do it.
00:25:30.36\00:25:31.69
So once... We're
already getting responses.
00:25:31.73\00:25:33.90
Yeah, thank you.
00:25:33.93\00:25:35.26
We are... I was
just going to say that.
00:25:35.30\00:25:36.63
Just this week, the letters
started coming in from the zip
00:25:36.67\00:25:39.00
code mailings.
00:25:39.03\00:25:40.37
And people
started writing in saying,
00:25:40.40\00:25:41.74
"This just
showed up in my mailbox,
00:25:41.77\00:25:43.27
and I'm so excited
about what I am learning."
00:25:43.30\00:25:47.38
So just this week, we started
getting the first response
00:25:47.41\00:25:51.08
or the first wave
from the zip code mailing.
00:25:51.11\00:25:53.01
So what a blessing.
00:25:53.05\00:25:54.65
Thank you for
being faithful to God
00:25:54.68\00:25:56.45
and for writing the booklets.
00:25:56.48\00:25:57.82
And I know it's going to
make a tremendous difference
00:25:57.85\00:26:00.26
in the lives of so many people.
00:26:00.29\00:26:01.79
You know, and I also
want to say, thank you.
00:26:01.82\00:26:03.56
You know, we're thanking
you for writing the books,
00:26:03.59\00:26:04.93
but we also want to thank you
00:26:04.96\00:26:06.29
because a lot of you
already jumped on board.
00:26:06.33\00:26:07.66
And like Mr. Danny's mentioned,
00:26:07.70\00:26:09.03
I think is well
past 2 million actually,
00:26:09.06\00:26:11.00
that have been gone and
they are going out already,
00:26:11.03\00:26:13.40
are in the mail system, or
you've already got the cases
00:26:13.44\00:26:15.54
and are passing them
out in your neighborhood.
00:26:15.57\00:26:17.54
So thank you for
standing with the ministry.
00:26:17.57\00:26:19.47
Like you've mentioned for years,
00:26:19.51\00:26:20.98
movers and shakers.
00:26:21.01\00:26:22.68
That's who you are at home,
00:26:22.71\00:26:24.15
and so thank you for catching
the vision of evangelism.
00:26:24.18\00:26:26.38
It's encouraging.
And Pacific Press.
00:26:26.41\00:26:28.45
Thank you, Dale, for
printing these and Dale Galusha
00:26:28.48\00:26:30.82
and the whole team.
00:26:30.85\00:26:32.19
What an incredible job.
00:26:32.22\00:26:33.56
It's just amazing.
00:26:33.59\00:26:34.92
You two have worked
with them particularly.
00:26:34.96\00:26:36.29
Yes, yes, they are wonderful.
00:26:36.32\00:26:37.66
They're on it and they
are so ministry-minded.
00:26:37.69\00:26:40.00
They are about
getting the gospel out
00:26:40.03\00:26:42.30
so we appreciate them.
00:26:42.33\00:26:44.33
Amen. They do an incredible job.
00:26:44.37\00:26:45.73
They have a great team.
00:26:45.77\00:26:47.10
Yeah, they do.
00:26:47.14\00:26:48.47
I love working with their team.
00:26:48.50\00:26:49.84
You just send an
email and pretty soon, boom.
00:26:49.87\00:26:51.21
This comes back with
a whole comprehensive.
00:26:51.24\00:26:53.01
They're doing a great job.
00:26:53.04\00:26:54.38
Their customer
service is phenomenal.
00:26:54.41\00:26:56.04
So we're so
privileged to partner with them.
00:26:56.08\00:26:57.78
And they look...
The books look good too.
00:26:57.81\00:26:59.35
So when they
show up at your house,
00:26:59.38\00:27:00.72
it's not something
you're going to throw away.
00:27:00.75\00:27:02.28
And as Greg said, when
you open it up and you see
00:27:02.32\00:27:04.89
some of these
fabulous pictures on here...
00:27:04.92\00:27:07.59
Isn't that beautiful?
00:27:07.62\00:27:08.96
These are like Nathan Greene
who's a very well known artist.
00:27:08.99\00:27:11.36
It's incredible.
00:27:11.39\00:27:12.73
And so we know this includes
the expense of all of that.
00:27:12.76\00:27:16.20
Getting these
pictures, and they're not free.
00:27:16.23\00:27:18.17
We have to get the
rights to all of these.
00:27:18.20\00:27:20.17
But we decided, let's go
ahead and put together something
00:27:20.20\00:27:23.07
so when it shows up at
your house, it's not like oh,
00:27:23.10\00:27:26.14
this is some junk
mail we throw away.
00:27:26.17\00:27:28.28
You open up and very
nice print books and you...
00:27:28.31\00:27:31.68
I mean, it's just
something I think people...
00:27:31.71\00:27:34.02
If you're interested
in... And Greg in the back page.
00:27:34.05\00:27:37.62
Yes. What we have.
00:27:37.65\00:27:38.99
Oh, yeah.
00:27:39.02\00:27:40.36
The back page of each
one of these booklets,
00:27:40.39\00:27:41.72
it's great too, because someone
may have never heard of 3ABN.
00:27:41.76\00:27:44.63
If you can see that.
00:27:44.66\00:27:45.99
So right here you can
see all the different ways.
00:27:46.03\00:27:47.73
Oh, wow, they are so fast there.
00:27:47.76\00:27:49.10
Thank you production.
00:27:49.13\00:27:50.57
So all the different ways
that you can actually find out
00:27:50.60\00:27:52.40
more about truth.
00:27:52.43\00:27:53.77
So you can get 3ABN on
Dish Network, Fios, by Verizon,
00:27:53.80\00:27:57.01
Apple TV, Fire TV,
Amazon, YouTube, Roku.
00:27:57.04\00:28:01.28
The list goes on and on.
00:28:01.31\00:28:02.64
So there's ways in
the back of the book
00:28:02.68\00:28:04.21
that people can find
out more information.
00:28:04.25\00:28:05.98
So it's great.
00:28:06.01\00:28:07.35
Speaking of ways to watch 3ABN,
00:28:07.38\00:28:09.75
we are in the middle
of launching phase two
00:28:09.78\00:28:13.09
of 3ABN+.
00:28:13.12\00:28:14.56
Now you may say, "What
in the world is 3ABN+?"
00:28:14.59\00:28:17.33
3ABN+ gives you the same options
00:28:17.36\00:28:19.76
to stream all
of 3ABN's networks.
00:28:19.79\00:28:22.70
So this is every...
00:28:22.73\00:28:24.07
All nine of our
television networks,
00:28:24.10\00:28:25.43
all five of our radio networks.
00:28:25.47\00:28:27.44
Plus we have over 1500 programs
00:28:27.47\00:28:31.74
already on
demand and adding daily.
00:28:31.77\00:28:34.78
So it's an
incredible opportunity
00:28:34.81\00:28:37.55
for you to watch 3ABN
not just when it streams,
00:28:37.58\00:28:40.52
but you can watch it
on demand at any time
00:28:40.55\00:28:42.95
when you want.
00:28:42.98\00:28:44.32
You can sign in and
get additional content.
00:28:44.35\00:28:46.42
It's free to sign in.
00:28:46.45\00:28:48.06
It is available now, of course,
at our website, 3abnplus.tv.
00:28:48.09\00:28:52.03
It is already
launched on Amazon Fire.
00:28:52.06\00:28:55.36
We are just launching on Roku,
00:28:55.40\00:28:58.70
which means pretty
soon your experience,
00:28:58.73\00:29:00.50
if you watch on Amazon
Fire or you watch on Roku
00:29:00.54\00:29:03.51
will change and you'll
be able to get all the on
00:29:03.54\00:29:05.87
demand content as well.
00:29:05.91\00:29:07.24
So we're very
excited about that.
00:29:07.28\00:29:08.61
On demand means what? On demand.
00:29:08.64\00:29:09.98
Basically, you can
watch it when you want it.
00:29:10.01\00:29:11.71
So it's basically stored
there so you can go there...
00:29:11.75\00:29:14.18
You don't have to
follow the schedule
00:29:14.22\00:29:15.55
but it's just right there.
00:29:15.58\00:29:16.92
And you can push play
and it'll actually play.
00:29:16.95\00:29:18.29
You can put pause and come
back to it two hours later.
00:29:18.32\00:29:20.39
If you missed a live
and you come back and say,
00:29:20.42\00:29:22.72
"I want to see what was on."
00:29:22.76\00:29:24.09
It would look like
your Amazon Prime account
00:29:24.13\00:29:27.10
or your Netflix account.
00:29:27.13\00:29:28.46
Or you can click whatever movie
00:29:28.50\00:29:30.00
or documentary
you want to watch.
00:29:30.03\00:29:31.70
So now you can click
00:29:31.73\00:29:33.07
your favorite
3ABN program and watch.
00:29:33.10\00:29:35.77
So I'm trying to
hold up the app here.
00:29:35.80\00:29:37.91
This is if you
have the android phone.
00:29:37.94\00:29:40.08
So this is the
app what it looks like
00:29:40.11\00:29:42.11
on 3ABN for the phone app.
00:29:42.14\00:29:44.21
So we'll be
changing this soon as well.
00:29:44.25\00:29:46.15
Where what you see here...
00:29:46.18\00:29:47.82
Well, this is the live stream
00:29:47.85\00:29:49.18
so I could click on 3ABN
00:29:49.22\00:29:50.55
and watch tonight's
live right here or...
00:29:50.59\00:29:52.95
That seems kind
of weird, doesn't it?
00:29:52.99\00:29:55.19
But what's coming soon,
00:29:55.22\00:29:56.56
and that's what we're
telling you about 3ABN+.
00:29:56.59\00:29:58.06
This app will change
00:29:58.09\00:29:59.43
and you'll actually
be able to watch programs
00:29:59.46\00:30:01.46
on demand right
off of your phone app.
00:30:01.50\00:30:03.40
That option is not
available right now
00:30:03.43\00:30:05.33
but it's coming soon.
00:30:05.37\00:30:06.70
So where it's launched,
like you said, right now.
00:30:06.74\00:30:08.40
Amazon Fire and Roku...
Amazon Fire and we just...
00:30:08.44\00:30:10.81
And Roku we just
sent the paperwork
00:30:10.84\00:30:12.81
so it should be in
the next couple days,
00:30:12.84\00:30:14.31
maybe even when
this program re-airs
00:30:14.34\00:30:16.01
it will be
available for you on Roku.
00:30:16.04\00:30:18.81
Tell us next week is...
00:30:18.85\00:30:20.22
Next Thursday we're not going
to be doing a live from here,
00:30:20.25\00:30:21.85
are we?
00:30:21.88\00:30:23.22
No.
00:30:23.25\00:30:24.59
ASI is coming up.
00:30:24.62\00:30:25.95
Our trucks are pulling
out on Sunday of next week
00:30:25.99\00:30:27.46
going to Orlando, Florida
00:30:27.49\00:30:29.82
for the ASI
International Convention.
00:30:29.86\00:30:32.23
Of course, 3ABN's been
privileged to broadcast
00:30:32.26\00:30:34.86
ASI for many, many years.
00:30:34.90\00:30:36.90
Great partnership.
00:30:36.93\00:30:38.27
What a privilege to partner
with that incredible ministry.
00:30:38.30\00:30:41.07
So the meetings
begin Wednesday night.
00:30:41.10\00:30:43.20
We want to encourage you to
watch it right here on 3ABN.
00:30:43.24\00:30:47.21
If you can't make
it to ASI in Florida,
00:30:47.24\00:30:50.28
you can watch it on 3ABN.
00:30:50.31\00:30:52.28
So the theme is, The
Three Angels' Messages
00:30:52.31\00:30:55.62
Into All The World.
00:30:55.65\00:30:58.39
And the dates, of course,
00:30:58.42\00:30:59.75
are next week beginning
Wednesday night August 4,
00:30:59.79\00:31:02.56
continuing through
00:31:02.59\00:31:03.93
Sabbath August 7.
00:31:03.96\00:31:05.29
Wednesday night at 6 PM Central
00:31:05.33\00:31:07.06
we hear from
Pastor Doug Batchelor.
00:31:07.10\00:31:08.60
He's doing the
keynote presentation.
00:31:08.63\00:31:10.70
Thursday night 6 PM Central
is the members in action,
00:31:10.73\00:31:14.67
where we see the ASI ministries
00:31:14.70\00:31:16.07
and what they do to share
Christ in the marketplace.
00:31:16.10\00:31:18.61
Friday night is
Stephen and Felicia Lee.
00:31:18.64\00:31:21.94
Sabbath School is
Gerald and Chantal Klingbeil
00:31:21.98\00:31:24.85
who are the authors of
this quarterly this quarter,
00:31:24.88\00:31:28.75
the Sabbath School quarterly.
00:31:28.78\00:31:30.12
Church service is elder Ted N.C.
00:31:30.15\00:31:32.85
Wilson will be speaking, our
General Conference president,
00:31:32.89\00:31:36.26
and then the evening will be
closed out with Steve Dickman.
00:31:36.29\00:31:38.76
So we're looking forward
to ASI and the partnership.
00:31:38.79\00:31:41.73
It's been many years has it,
ASI and 3ABN working together?
00:31:41.76\00:31:44.60
Oh, yeah. Way back
towards the beginnings.
00:31:44.63\00:31:46.17
That's right.
All About evangelism.
00:31:46.20\00:31:48.17
3ABN has been always, of
course, our focus and vision
00:31:48.20\00:31:51.04
but, of course, ASI...
Great to work with them.
00:31:51.07\00:31:53.41
And we have something
coming up here next month.
00:31:53.44\00:31:55.14
We do.
00:31:55.18\00:31:56.68
3ABN Fall Camp Meeting.
00:31:56.71\00:31:58.28
And Lord willing, we'll
have a live in-house audience
00:31:58.31\00:32:01.15
that includes you.
00:32:01.18\00:32:02.52
So well, we hope that
you can be here in person.
00:32:02.55\00:32:04.85
We have an exciting
lineup there as well.
00:32:04.89\00:32:06.52
We do.
00:32:06.55\00:32:07.89
It's September 23
through September 25.
00:32:07.92\00:32:10.86
So we kick off camp meeting
Thursday night, September 23.
00:32:10.89\00:32:14.90
Our featured speaker
is Pastor James Rafferty,
00:32:14.93\00:32:18.30
who's 3ABN's latest addition.
00:32:18.33\00:32:20.40
He and his wife Rise who is a...
00:32:20.44\00:32:23.04
He's 3ABN
director of discipleship.
00:32:23.07\00:32:24.74
And the whole theme of camp
meeting is Something Better.
00:32:24.77\00:32:27.31
Looking at the Book of Hebrews,
00:32:27.34\00:32:28.81
when we look at
the Book of Hebrews,
00:32:28.84\00:32:30.25
we see that Jesus is a
better sacrifice, right?
00:32:30.28\00:32:33.55
And we see there's a better
sacrifice, and a better man,
00:32:33.58\00:32:35.88
and a better high
priest, and a better hope,
00:32:35.92\00:32:38.25
and we have
hope of eternal life.
00:32:38.29\00:32:39.65
So looking forward to that.
00:32:39.69\00:32:41.46
We're going to hear, of
course, from the 3ABN family.
00:32:41.49\00:32:43.96
Pastor Kenny
Shelton, Pastor John Lomacang,
00:32:43.99\00:32:46.36
Shelley Quinn, Pastor Ryan Day.
00:32:46.39\00:32:49.46
We're going to
have a special speaker
00:32:49.50\00:32:51.80
Sabbath for divine worship.
00:32:51.83\00:32:53.84
Dr. Ben Carson will be with us.
00:32:53.87\00:32:56.34
I don't know if you
want to speak to that,
00:32:56.37\00:32:57.87
but we're excited
about that as well.
00:32:57.91\00:32:59.24
He'll be in here.
He'll be here in person.
00:32:59.27\00:33:00.61
Here in person.
00:33:00.64\00:33:01.98
He'll be here in person
right here at 3ABN Camp Meeting.
00:33:02.01\00:33:04.55
We're looking
forward to he and Candy,
00:33:04.58\00:33:06.11
his wife, and
we're trying to get her
00:33:06.15\00:33:07.85
do a little bit
of music with us too.
00:33:07.88\00:33:10.12
And... But his schedule...
00:33:10.15\00:33:11.55
He's literally is
flying in and flying out.
00:33:11.59\00:33:14.29
And... But we're so
glad to get Dr. Ben.
00:33:14.32\00:33:17.89
And he's very faithful.
00:33:17.93\00:33:19.79
Been faithful for
many years to the Lord
00:33:19.83\00:33:21.73
and been in many positions,
00:33:21.76\00:33:23.23
you know, most
recently in the government.
00:33:23.26\00:33:26.10
Now he's, of course, not
working for the government,
00:33:26.13\00:33:28.90
but he's working,
still working for the Lord.
00:33:28.94\00:33:30.94
So he has a testimony
that's absolutely incredible.
00:33:30.97\00:33:35.04
Enough that a
movie's been made about it.
00:33:35.08\00:33:37.05
Think Gifted Hands.
00:33:37.08\00:33:39.11
Books also about it,
but his testimony is one
00:33:39.15\00:33:43.42
that appeals to all of us.
00:33:43.45\00:33:45.29
We had him I
think, was it in 20?
00:33:45.32\00:33:47.56
We had him on 19. 2020.
00:33:47.59\00:33:49.22
Yeah, we had him January.
00:33:49.26\00:33:50.83
Loma Linda. February in 2020.
00:33:50.86\00:33:52.59
February 2020. There you go.
00:33:52.63\00:33:53.96
Camp meeting he spoke...
00:33:54.00\00:33:55.33
We had a
tremendous response from him.
00:33:55.36\00:33:57.30
We did. Because he came there.
00:33:57.33\00:33:59.40
He didn't come as a politician
though he was in the cabinet
00:33:59.43\00:34:03.10
for the, you know,
government of the United States.
00:34:03.14\00:34:05.97
He came as an
ambassador for Jesus.
00:34:06.01\00:34:09.74
And that's what he's
going to be doing here
00:34:09.78\00:34:11.41
so we're looking
forward to hearing from Dr. Ben.
00:34:11.45\00:34:14.65
And, of course, Dr.
Yvonne and Mr. Danny,
00:34:14.68\00:34:17.09
lots of music at
camp meeting as well too.
00:34:17.12\00:34:18.79
Oh, yes.
00:34:18.82\00:34:20.16
Yeah. That's always a blessing.
00:34:20.19\00:34:22.02
I love camp meeting
00:34:22.06\00:34:23.69
and we're looking
forward to having you here.
00:34:23.73\00:34:25.83
We have RV spots.
00:34:25.86\00:34:27.30
They're filling
up rather quickly.
00:34:27.33\00:34:29.06
Actually, already people
are reserving those spots.
00:34:29.10\00:34:31.10
We have... Of course, for those
of you that liked tent camp.
00:34:31.13\00:34:34.47
Wonderful, glad you enjoy that.
00:34:34.50\00:34:36.07
We have...
00:34:36.10\00:34:37.44
And I kind of do too,
00:34:37.47\00:34:38.81
but we have a
bathhouse there as well
00:34:38.84\00:34:40.48
with showers and nice facility.
00:34:40.51\00:34:43.18
We'll be providing free
food, complimentary food.
00:34:43.21\00:34:46.92
And right there in our gymnasium
00:34:46.95\00:34:48.95
the Adventist book
center will be here.
00:34:48.98\00:34:50.62
And just if you've never been
to 3ABN camp meeting before,
00:34:50.65\00:34:54.12
we hope that you can make it.
00:34:54.16\00:34:55.76
We've already heard
from a number of you
00:34:55.79\00:34:57.13
that have been here before
00:34:57.16\00:34:58.49
and are looking
forward to coming back.
00:34:58.53\00:35:00.00
And we've had a lot
of new people too saying,
00:35:00.03\00:35:02.06
"Hey, we want to finally
attend fall camp meeting."
00:35:02.10\00:35:04.43
There's nothing like
having people here in person.
00:35:04.47\00:35:06.50
We've been doing
these virtual camp meetings
00:35:06.53\00:35:08.04
the last several times, but boy,
00:35:08.07\00:35:09.44
we're just looking
forward to camp meeting.
00:35:09.47\00:35:11.54
Oh, and children's meetings.
00:35:11.57\00:35:12.91
Yes.
00:35:12.94\00:35:14.28
We'll have some
children's meetings as well.
00:35:14.31\00:35:15.64
NAPS will be with us.
00:35:15.68\00:35:17.01
That's right. And
they're not taking naps.
00:35:17.05\00:35:18.38
No, they're not.
00:35:18.41\00:35:19.75
It's, of course, a
National Association
00:35:19.78\00:35:21.12
for the
Prevention of Starvation.
00:35:21.15\00:35:22.48
They do an incredible
ministry, you know, their Bible.
00:35:22.52\00:35:24.89
And they're coming
for children's meetings,
00:35:24.92\00:35:26.32
and we have some
other people as well.
00:35:26.35\00:35:28.46
Aunt Francine
Bergmann is working on that.
00:35:28.49\00:35:30.89
So we're just looking
forward to meeting you.
00:35:30.93\00:35:32.26
We are.
00:35:32.29\00:35:33.63
We're looking
forward to seeing you again.
00:35:33.66\00:35:35.00
We're looking
forward to praying with you
00:35:35.03\00:35:36.36
and fellowshipping with you
00:35:36.40\00:35:37.73
and studying the
Word of God with you.
00:35:37.77\00:35:40.54
So just come on down
for 3ABN Camp Meeting.
00:35:40.57\00:35:43.30
You could go to our
website, 3abncampmeeting.tv
00:35:43.34\00:35:47.31
and you get the schedule,
you get the local hotels,
00:35:47.34\00:35:49.64
and all the other details.
00:35:49.68\00:35:51.01
Yeah, go ahead Mr. Danny.
00:35:51.05\00:35:52.51
Yvonne, before they leave,
00:35:52.55\00:35:53.88
they're going to
leave transition.
00:35:53.92\00:35:55.25
We're going to
bring in Pat and Art.
00:35:55.28\00:35:57.02
Yeah.
00:35:57.05\00:35:58.39
But would you want to tell folk
how they can get these books
00:35:58.42\00:36:00.99
or would you rather Jill...
00:36:01.02\00:36:03.43
Maybe ask Jill to do
it for us one more time?
00:36:03.46\00:36:06.19
Jill, would you
do it one more time?
00:36:06.23\00:36:08.93
We would do it very quickly.
00:36:08.96\00:36:10.80
What you need to
do is just call us.
00:36:10.83\00:36:13.50
Call us at (618)
627-4651 and you say, "Yes,
00:36:13.54\00:36:19.07
I want a case
of 10 Commandments,
00:36:19.11\00:36:21.24
or a case of Hellfire,
or a case of Salvation."
00:36:21.28\00:36:23.85
It's $16.50 for a case of 250.
00:36:23.88\00:36:27.85
Or you can call
us and say, "Yes,
00:36:27.88\00:36:29.88
I want to participate
in the zip code mailing."
00:36:29.92\00:36:32.12
All three
booklets and the envelope
00:36:32.15\00:36:34.82
for 50 cents per
home and just call us
00:36:34.86\00:36:38.23
right now (618) 627-4651.
00:36:38.26\00:36:42.03
Or you can go online, 3abn.tv
00:36:42.06\00:36:46.07
You can order the cases that way
00:36:46.10\00:36:48.04
or you can sponsor
a zip code mailing.
00:36:48.07\00:36:50.61
You can't pick
the zip code mailing,
00:36:50.64\00:36:52.94
but you can
sponsor a zip code mailing
00:36:52.97\00:36:54.68
and 3ABN will pick different
cities and send it that way.
00:36:54.71\00:36:57.48
So an incredible
evangelistic opportunity.
00:36:57.51\00:36:59.58
Amen.
00:36:59.61\00:37:00.95
Again, the three topics.
00:37:00.98\00:37:03.15
The truth about salvation.
00:37:03.18\00:37:04.82
First of all, the
people... We need the Lord.
00:37:04.85\00:37:06.35
That's right.
00:37:06.39\00:37:07.72
And it also talks
about the character of God
00:37:07.76\00:37:10.43
and The Truth about Hellfire.
00:37:10.46\00:37:12.59
Again, talking about
the character of God.
00:37:12.63\00:37:15.70
And then after we accept Jesus
00:37:15.73\00:37:18.33
and understand that He's
a God of love, then it...
00:37:18.37\00:37:21.44
The Truth about
the Ten Commandments,
00:37:21.47\00:37:23.17
why He gave us
the Ten Commandments
00:37:23.20\00:37:25.24
and are they
valid in our life today?
00:37:25.27\00:37:27.61
Were they nailed to the cross?
00:37:27.64\00:37:29.14
Are we under the new covenant?
00:37:29.18\00:37:31.05
So we cover these topics so
they are, I think, together.
00:37:31.08\00:37:35.72
It's a good start for
somebody who does not know
00:37:35.75\00:37:38.35
these foundational truths.
00:37:38.39\00:37:40.96
Here they are
straight from the Word of God.
00:37:40.99\00:37:42.62
It's not our opinion in here.
00:37:42.66\00:37:44.23
It's what the Bible says.
00:37:44.26\00:37:45.59
Amen.
00:37:45.63\00:37:46.96
And I'm looking
forward to even more.
00:37:47.00\00:37:48.33
Like Jill was mentioning
a few minutes ago. More...
00:37:48.36\00:37:49.96
We're going to get letters,
and phone calls, and stories
00:37:50.00\00:37:52.03
where people's
lives have been changed.
00:37:52.07\00:37:53.74
That's because of you
00:37:53.77\00:37:55.37
stepping out and
joining with 3ABN
00:37:55.40\00:37:57.24
in this incredible
evangelism project.
00:37:57.27\00:38:00.48
We're going to
transition with a song here
00:38:00.51\00:38:02.58
and we're going to
invite Art and Pat Humphrey on.
00:38:02.61\00:38:05.18
And Mr. Danny,
thank you, and Dr. Yvonne,
00:38:05.21\00:38:07.58
for continuing on here.
00:38:07.62\00:38:08.95
And a great topic tonight.
00:38:08.98\00:38:10.32
What can I do for you, Lord?
00:38:10.35\00:38:12.59
Just love it.
00:38:12.62\00:38:13.96
And I know that the Lord is
going to continue to be here,
00:38:13.99\00:38:15.32
but we're going to
transition with a song.
00:38:15.36\00:38:16.79
Reggie and Ladye
Love Smith. Love them.
00:38:16.83\00:38:18.83
I tell you, they're
just great musicians
00:38:18.86\00:38:20.33
and they have just
a heart for people,
00:38:20.36\00:38:22.13
but most
importantly, for the Lord.
00:38:22.16\00:38:24.07
And they're going to be
bringing us a beautiful song.
00:38:24.10\00:38:26.00
He Knows The Way Home.
00:38:26.03\00:38:27.60
It does not matter
00:38:36.44\00:38:40.78
Where you started
00:38:40.82\00:38:44.19
But friend it matters
00:38:44.22\00:38:48.72
Where you end
00:38:48.76\00:38:52.76
We're all working
00:38:52.79\00:38:56.67
Toward forever
00:38:56.70\00:39:00.80
And there's only one road
00:39:00.84\00:39:04.51
That leads to him
00:39:04.54\00:39:08.54
The way is straight
00:39:08.58\00:39:12.58
The path is narrow
00:39:12.61\00:39:16.58
And though sometimes
00:39:16.62\00:39:19.49
It seems we're all alone
00:39:19.52\00:39:24.33
But an unseen hand
00:39:24.36\00:39:28.23
Is there to lead us
00:39:28.26\00:39:32.27
Just follow Jesus
00:39:32.30\00:39:36.30
He knows the way home
00:39:36.34\00:39:40.48
He never said
00:39:48.22\00:39:52.22
We would not suffer
00:39:52.25\00:39:56.42
And he never said
00:39:56.46\00:39:59.83
That we'd fail no more
00:39:59.86\00:40:04.53
He never said
00:40:04.57\00:40:08.17
We're spared the battle
00:40:08.20\00:40:12.77
But he said
00:40:12.81\00:40:14.84
He's already won the war
00:40:14.88\00:40:20.58
The way is straight
00:40:20.62\00:40:24.49
The path is narrow
00:40:24.52\00:40:28.56
And though sometimes
00:40:28.59\00:40:31.53
It seems we're all alone
00:40:31.56\00:40:36.23
But an unseen hand
00:40:36.26\00:40:40.30
Is there to lead us
00:40:40.34\00:40:44.24
Just follow Jesus
00:40:44.27\00:40:48.28
He knows the way home
00:40:48.31\00:40:52.41
The way is straight
00:40:52.45\00:40:56.45
The path is narrow
00:40:56.48\00:41:00.46
And though sometimes
00:41:00.49\00:41:03.46
It seems we're all alone
00:41:03.49\00:41:08.33
But an unseen hand
00:41:08.36\00:41:12.33
Is there to lead us
00:41:12.37\00:41:16.30
Just follow Jesus
00:41:16.34\00:41:20.18
He knows the way home
00:41:20.21\00:41:24.31
Just follow Jesus
00:41:24.35\00:41:27.32
He knows the way home
00:41:30.49\00:41:36.49
Hello and welcome
back to 3ABN Today Live.
00:41:42.50\00:41:45.07
We've kind of changed seats now.
00:41:45.10\00:41:46.74
I know.
00:41:46.77\00:41:48.10
We're on the host and co-host.
00:41:48.14\00:41:49.47
We are.
00:41:49.50\00:41:50.84
So you be the host
and I'll be the co-host.
00:41:50.87\00:41:52.21
No, I like it the other way.
00:41:52.24\00:41:53.58
The other way.
00:41:53.61\00:41:54.94
That's usually the
simpler one, right?
00:41:54.98\00:41:57.08
Well, we have some
special guest tonight.
00:41:57.11\00:41:59.35
I hate to say guest
because they're family.
00:41:59.38\00:42:01.52
And we've been
knowing each other
00:42:01.55\00:42:03.62
for 35 probably years or so.
00:42:03.65\00:42:06.72
Right? At least.
00:42:06.76\00:42:08.09
Art and Pat Humphrey.
00:42:08.12\00:42:09.46
So glad that you're here.
00:42:09.49\00:42:10.83
Thank you for inviting us.
00:42:10.86\00:42:12.19
And now, Yvonne,
you've been knowing them
00:42:12.23\00:42:14.43
for quite a few
years yourself, right?
00:42:14.46\00:42:16.26
Yes, they are wonderful people.
00:42:16.30\00:42:18.13
Really sold out for the Lord.
00:42:18.17\00:42:20.84
Did you know that when
3ABN very first started...
00:42:20.87\00:42:24.84
That, of course, I didn't...
00:42:24.87\00:42:26.21
I know very little
now but knew very...
00:42:26.24\00:42:28.04
Almost nothing about television,
00:42:28.08\00:42:30.15
knew nothing about production,
00:42:30.18\00:42:32.41
but the Lord sent a
young family up here
00:42:32.45\00:42:35.62
and to direct, to be
our directors of 3ABN,
00:42:35.65\00:42:38.52
one of the very
first ones to take us
00:42:38.55\00:42:40.79
from a cornfield to
actually going on the air.
00:42:40.82\00:42:43.63
So we had engineers,
00:42:43.66\00:42:45.06
but we didn't have a
producer or production manager
00:42:45.09\00:42:48.63
and so here comes
Art and Pat Humphrey.
00:42:48.66\00:42:52.10
So thank you so
much, because without you,
00:42:52.13\00:42:54.94
we may still be planting
corn now all these years.
00:42:54.97\00:42:58.87
You know, that was interesting
because you and Kenny
00:42:58.91\00:43:01.41
never offered me a job.
00:43:01.44\00:43:04.35
Never.
00:43:04.38\00:43:05.71
I don't know.
00:43:05.75\00:43:07.08
You just... They
just never offered.
00:43:07.12\00:43:08.45
We came up here
several times and we just...
00:43:08.48\00:43:11.15
Well, are they going to
offers us a job or anything?
00:43:11.19\00:43:13.76
You know, they just..
00:43:13.79\00:43:15.12
Would just love to have us come
up here but when we got back,
00:43:15.16\00:43:18.66
it was just dead.
00:43:18.69\00:43:20.13
We prayed.
00:43:20.16\00:43:21.50
We prayed earnestly.
00:43:21.53\00:43:22.86
In fact, I went
on a three day fast.
00:43:22.90\00:43:24.33
And because we weren't
just going to come up here
00:43:24.37\00:43:26.97
without knowing
that God was leading.
00:43:27.00\00:43:29.07
And so I went on this fast
and in the middle of the fast
00:43:29.10\00:43:32.54
our little girl who was
five years old at the time
00:43:32.57\00:43:35.64
said, "Mommy, guess what?
00:43:35.68\00:43:38.18
I saw an angel.
00:43:38.21\00:43:40.18
And the angel told me
that we're going to 3ABN?"
00:43:40.22\00:43:44.09
I said, "Really?"
00:43:44.12\00:43:45.95
So that was our answer.
00:43:45.99\00:43:47.36
And so we knew
that God was leading
00:43:47.39\00:43:49.62
and He worked things
out so that we could come.
00:43:49.66\00:43:52.19
We were in the
middle of building a house
00:43:52.23\00:43:54.00
and we were not
planning on moving,
00:43:54.03\00:43:57.00
but the Lord had
other ideas than mines.
00:43:57.03\00:44:00.17
And so we're just so thankful
that we had this opportunity
00:44:00.20\00:44:03.17
to be part of the
beginning of this ministry
00:44:03.20\00:44:06.21
and how you have grown.
00:44:06.24\00:44:08.31
Oh, we're just amazed.
00:44:08.34\00:44:10.45
I mean, we were in
that small building at first
00:44:10.48\00:44:12.88
and now look at
how God has blessed.
00:44:12.91\00:44:15.38
Amen.
00:44:15.42\00:44:16.75
I came home from work
and she started telling me
00:44:16.79\00:44:19.92
about the angel and
Candace, our daughter.
00:44:19.95\00:44:22.72
I said, "That's
it. We're going."
00:44:22.76\00:44:25.83
We made a
decision just like that.
00:44:25.86\00:44:28.16
It's an, indeed, a miracle story
00:44:28.20\00:44:29.63
because we were in the
middle of building a house
00:44:29.66\00:44:33.00
and the house was not finished.
00:44:33.03\00:44:35.47
So how do you sell a
house that's not finished?
00:44:35.50\00:44:37.97
But God can sell a
house that's not finished.
00:44:38.01\00:44:39.64
That's right.
00:44:39.67\00:44:41.01
Okay, come on.
00:44:41.04\00:44:42.68
You know, so we started doing...
00:44:42.71\00:44:44.05
Trying to find
somebody to buy the house.
00:44:44.08\00:44:45.41
And Pat, you probably
can remember the details
00:44:45.45\00:44:47.02
better than I can.
00:44:47.05\00:44:48.38
Yes. Someone called at midnight.
00:44:48.42\00:44:49.75
This was the day before we
were planning to leave, right?
00:44:49.78\00:44:53.02
The house wasn't
sold, it wasn't finished.
00:44:53.05\00:44:55.52
So midnight, somebody called.
00:44:55.56\00:44:57.36
I was half sleep.
00:44:57.39\00:44:58.73
You know, don't try to call
me in the middle of the night
00:44:58.76\00:45:01.56
because I'm very groggy.
00:45:01.60\00:45:03.73
And so this lady called
who's a friend and she said,
00:45:03.77\00:45:06.84
"Hey, I know someone.
00:45:06.87\00:45:08.20
I heard you guys are moving
and you're wanting to sell
00:45:08.24\00:45:10.44
your house, and I have somebody
who wants to buy your house."
00:45:10.47\00:45:14.94
And I'm like, "Okay."
00:45:14.98\00:45:16.31
And I knew this person
and they didn't have any money
00:45:16.34\00:45:18.71
and I figured their
friend didn't have any money
00:45:18.75\00:45:20.82
either and so I said,
00:45:20.85\00:45:22.68
"Okay, yeah.
00:45:22.72\00:45:24.19
Well, you know, tell
her to come by tomorrow.
00:45:24.22\00:45:26.62
We're packing, we're
pulling out tomorrow.
00:45:26.65\00:45:29.26
Just tell her to come by."
00:45:29.29\00:45:31.09
And she did come the next
day. We were busy packing.
00:45:31.13\00:45:34.20
We didn't even take her...
00:45:34.23\00:45:35.56
We were living in a
trailer in front of the house.
00:45:35.60\00:45:37.67
We didn't even
bother to take her up there.
00:45:37.70\00:45:39.57
We sent her up there.
00:45:39.60\00:45:40.94
Yeah, we sent her up there.
00:45:40.97\00:45:42.30
We said, "Okay. Well, you
know, go and look, we're busy.
00:45:42.34\00:45:44.21
We're getting out of here.
00:45:44.24\00:45:46.27
And she goes up and
she looks through the house
00:45:46.31\00:45:48.74
and she came back
a few minutes later
00:45:48.78\00:45:50.65
and she said,
00:45:50.68\00:45:52.01
"This is what I want.
00:45:52.05\00:45:53.38
This is what I'm going to buy."
00:45:53.42\00:45:55.12
And she said, "I've got cash
and I want to buy your house."
00:45:55.15\00:45:58.72
And so, we were just blown away
00:45:58.75\00:46:02.32
and we knew that
this was the Lord leading.
00:46:02.36\00:46:05.66
She had a $5,000 donation.
00:46:05.69\00:46:07.96
I mean, not... Down
payment that she did.
00:46:08.00\00:46:10.90
You know, and so we
left with $5,000 cash.
00:46:10.93\00:46:14.87
So that was it.
00:46:14.90\00:46:16.24
And the Lord brought us
here and we spent a year here.
00:46:16.27\00:46:19.44
Art says that was his very best
00:46:19.47\00:46:22.01
and favorite year in television.
00:46:22.04\00:46:24.05
Wow, praise the
Lord. Praise the Lord.
00:46:24.08\00:46:25.98
And about what year was that?
00:46:26.01\00:46:28.15
Ooh, man.
00:46:28.18\00:46:29.52
It was 1986.
00:46:29.55\00:46:30.95
The end of, yes, December.
00:46:30.99\00:46:32.42
Very beginning.
00:46:32.45\00:46:33.79
Entire year of
'87 we spent here.
00:46:33.82\00:46:36.62
Yeah, 'cause that's first
time we went into production.
00:46:36.66\00:46:39.46
We'd been building a building.
00:46:39.49\00:46:41.33
And for then we're just...
00:46:41.36\00:46:43.30
When we're ready for,
00:46:43.33\00:46:44.97
you know, to have
production manager
00:46:45.00\00:46:46.67
and somebody who
knew what they were doing,
00:46:46.70\00:46:50.14
here they show up.
00:46:50.17\00:46:51.51
So that's again...
00:46:51.54\00:46:53.11
We don't believe in coincidence,
00:46:53.14\00:46:54.51
we believe in divine providence.
00:46:54.54\00:46:56.58
So the Lord brought you up here
00:46:56.61\00:46:59.18
from the dream
of a five year old.
00:46:59.21\00:47:01.28
So the young
folks as Jill says it,
00:47:01.32\00:47:03.92
young men and, of
course, women dream dreams,
00:47:03.95\00:47:06.22
old men have
visions and all that.
00:47:06.25\00:47:08.16
So the beautiful part about 3ABN
00:47:08.19\00:47:11.09
is I had the young man's dreams
00:47:11.13\00:47:13.53
when I was young and now
I've got the old man's vision.
00:47:13.56\00:47:16.63
So I've hit both side
going from the young to the old,
00:47:16.67\00:47:21.20
but still dreaming and
having visions of the ministry
00:47:21.24\00:47:25.01
going forward and
multitudes coming to Jesus.
00:47:25.04\00:47:28.34
You know, my daughter
was five and so to verify,
00:47:28.38\00:47:32.91
we were playing
with some little felts.
00:47:32.95\00:47:34.68
You know, the kind that
we have in Sabbath School,
00:47:34.72\00:47:36.52
and she had the angel peeling
it off and putting it on.
00:47:36.55\00:47:39.35
I said, "Candace,
was the angel that big?
00:47:39.39\00:47:42.06
She said, "No daddy,
00:47:42.09\00:47:43.79
he was bigger than you?"
00:47:43.83\00:47:48.10
That's beautiful. Great story.
00:47:48.13\00:47:49.96
So y'all came up,
00:47:50.00\00:47:51.33
got us started in production
00:47:51.37\00:47:52.87
till we got other people
00:47:52.90\00:47:54.24
and he would
train people, of course.
00:47:54.27\00:47:55.67
So we had some young fellows,
00:47:55.70\00:47:58.54
Rodney Laney and Bradley Walker,
00:47:58.57\00:48:01.14
and they were in high school
00:48:01.18\00:48:02.51
and some of those
started coming out
00:48:02.54\00:48:04.25
and now they're still here
today after all these years.
00:48:04.28\00:48:07.02
And they are
directors and producers and,
00:48:07.05\00:48:10.85
you know, been
here for so many years.
00:48:10.89\00:48:12.59
But thank you for
the training that you...
00:48:12.62\00:48:15.06
Not only what you did,
00:48:15.09\00:48:16.42
but training that
you gave our young
00:48:16.46\00:48:18.23
because we were getting
people out of high school
00:48:18.26\00:48:19.73
to come out and work, you know.
00:48:19.76\00:48:22.06
So when we came, we
just never dreamed that
00:48:22.10\00:48:24.90
we were only
going to be here a year.
00:48:24.93\00:48:26.74
We had planned to be here,
you know, on a permanent basis,
00:48:26.77\00:48:30.64
but somehow the Lord called us
to go to the Review and Herald
00:48:30.67\00:48:35.74
and Art can tell you
a little bit about that.
00:48:35.78\00:48:38.45
I still remember, Danny,
00:48:38.48\00:48:39.85
I remember when we told you that
00:48:39.88\00:48:43.32
we were going to be leaving.
00:48:43.35\00:48:45.69
That I had accepted a call
to go to the Review and Herald
00:48:45.72\00:48:48.46
and I remember the look
of shock on your face but...
00:48:48.49\00:48:52.09
Kenny pulled a knife.
00:48:52.13\00:48:53.60
Oh, my goodness.
00:48:53.63\00:48:56.30
You remember that? No.
00:48:56.33\00:48:57.87
Kenny said, "I
don't remember that."
00:48:57.90\00:48:59.53
You know, I wouldn't
remember it if I remembered it.
00:48:59.57\00:49:01.44
He went into his pocket, you
know, popped it out, you know.
00:49:01.47\00:49:04.81
Just teasing, of course.
00:49:04.84\00:49:06.74
So we went... Did you hear that?
00:49:06.78\00:49:08.84
She said just teasing.
00:49:08.88\00:49:10.58
So went to ASI in '87.
00:49:10.61\00:49:14.22
So that's where I met
May Chung and Kay Kuzma.
00:49:14.25\00:49:17.19
Of course, they
already knew you.
00:49:17.22\00:49:18.55
Yeah.
00:49:18.59\00:49:19.92
And so they were
following you around.
00:49:19.95\00:49:22.16
And so a friend of mine
00:49:22.19\00:49:24.69
and former college
associate was there.
00:49:24.73\00:49:29.16
Delbert Baker who was the editor
00:49:29.20\00:49:30.63
of Message Magazine as he said,
00:49:30.67\00:49:32.27
"Art, come on,
let's go for a walk."
00:49:32.30\00:49:33.80
So we walked and I
huffed and puffed and puffed
00:49:33.84\00:49:36.50
and he had been a runner.
00:49:36.54\00:49:39.14
He was a runner.
00:49:39.17\00:49:40.51
You know, we walked and we
must have walked two miles,
00:49:40.54\00:49:42.14
you know?
00:49:42.18\00:49:43.51
You weighed more then?
00:49:43.55\00:49:44.88
I did.
00:49:44.91\00:49:46.25
I know.
00:49:46.28\00:49:48.45
And so we walked around
there at Glorieta, New Mexico.
00:49:48.48\00:49:51.89
Must have been about an hour.
00:49:51.92\00:49:53.76
And so he didn't tell me
anything but he was recruiting.
00:49:53.79\00:49:57.99
You know, he had
heard something I guess,
00:49:58.03\00:50:00.10
about my wife and so we got
recruited to Message Magazine.
00:50:00.13\00:50:05.20
Yes, it's amazing how
God calls you into things.
00:50:05.23\00:50:08.20
I never took a journalism class,
00:50:08.24\00:50:10.27
I never took a
communication course.
00:50:10.31\00:50:12.31
I think you can
probably relate to that, Danny.
00:50:12.34\00:50:14.24
Oh, yeah.
00:50:14.28\00:50:15.61
But, you know, God
calls you into things
00:50:15.64\00:50:17.85
and it's just amazing.
00:50:17.88\00:50:19.81
You have talents that
you didn't even know that
00:50:19.85\00:50:22.62
that you had but...
00:50:22.65\00:50:24.45
So I spent four years there
as assistant editor of Message
00:50:24.49\00:50:28.62
and then went on to edit
another publication as well.
00:50:28.66\00:50:32.43
And then went
into freelance writing
00:50:32.46\00:50:35.93
after I left The Review.
00:50:35.96\00:50:37.57
But somehow in the course
of my writing experiences,
00:50:37.60\00:50:42.44
we got invited to become
authors for Guide Magazine
00:50:42.47\00:50:47.81
and we were asked to author
a column called Ask It Basket.
00:50:47.84\00:50:52.85
And this was an
advice column for kids.
00:50:52.88\00:50:57.32
The kids... And
these were real questions.
00:50:57.35\00:51:00.16
They would write
in questions like,
00:51:00.19\00:51:02.72
how do you tell
that a boy likes you?
00:51:02.76\00:51:05.49
Or I'm a 12 year old girl...
00:51:05.53\00:51:08.63
Yes, there is a graphic I think,
00:51:08.66\00:51:10.17
that they can show...
00:51:10.20\00:51:12.70
I'm a 12 year old girl
00:51:12.73\00:51:14.07
and I get
embarrassed around boys.
00:51:14.10\00:51:16.00
How come?
00:51:16.04\00:51:17.37
And all kinds of topics
that they would write in.
00:51:17.41\00:51:23.01
And we would
respond to those questions.
00:51:23.04\00:51:25.85
And so after about five
years, I think, of doing that,
00:51:25.88\00:51:29.52
we decided that we would
compile some of the questions
00:51:29.55\00:51:33.42
that came in into a book.
00:51:33.46\00:51:34.92
Because we thought
we've got enough material here
00:51:34.96\00:51:37.06
that we can
actually create a book.
00:51:37.09\00:51:38.59
And so, Don't sweat it!
00:51:38.63\00:51:40.73
Just Ask Art and Pat was a book
00:51:40.76\00:51:44.27
that was inspired by
doing the Ask It Basket column.
00:51:44.30\00:51:49.84
And so, you know,
when you're a writer,
00:51:49.87\00:51:52.21
you have this invisible audience
00:51:52.24\00:51:55.61
and you don't often
hear feedback from people.
00:51:55.64\00:51:59.08
You know, they're out there,
00:51:59.11\00:52:00.55
you know they're
reading your material,
00:52:00.58\00:52:02.02
but you don't
really get any feedback.
00:52:02.05\00:52:03.72
And so it's very rewarding
when you do get some feedback.
00:52:03.75\00:52:08.12
And one day at church, a young
man came up to me and he said,
00:52:08.16\00:52:12.19
"You know, when I
was a young teenager,"
00:52:12.23\00:52:15.56
he said, "Someone
gave me in Sabbath School."
00:52:15.60\00:52:17.67
And he's going to tell
his story in just a bit
00:52:17.70\00:52:19.83
because we have a recording
of him telling his testimony.
00:52:19.87\00:52:23.91
So he said, "Someone gave me
your book in Sabbath School."
00:52:23.94\00:52:27.84
And he said,
00:52:27.88\00:52:29.21
"I was, you know,
00:52:29.24\00:52:30.58
just attracted
to it and I read..."
00:52:30.61\00:52:32.91
And so he's going
to tell his story now
00:52:32.95\00:52:35.22
of how this book
actually impacted him
00:52:35.25\00:52:37.62
as a young teenager.
00:52:37.65\00:52:38.99
Okay.
00:52:39.02\00:52:40.36
All right.
00:52:40.39\00:52:41.72
So when I was young...
00:52:41.76\00:52:43.12
Well, when I was probably
about 12 or 13 years old,
00:52:43.16\00:52:47.00
I went to my church at
Joshua SDA Church in Texas
00:52:47.03\00:52:51.10
and we all went to...
00:52:51.13\00:52:54.10
Go to our Sabbath
School like usual.
00:52:54.14\00:52:56.34
And at that time,
00:52:56.37\00:52:57.71
our Sabbath School
leader gave us this book.
00:52:57.74\00:53:00.08
And as I was holding this book,
00:53:00.11\00:53:01.48
I remember being mesmerized
00:53:01.51\00:53:03.04
by how amazingly colorful it is
00:53:03.08\00:53:05.71
and how
beautiful the pictures are.
00:53:05.75\00:53:08.38
And so naturally as a
young 12, 13 year old boy,
00:53:08.42\00:53:12.65
I was very drawn to it
00:53:12.69\00:53:14.09
and I wanted to open it
up to see what it is inside.
00:53:14.12\00:53:16.89
And I remember
going across a chapter
00:53:16.93\00:53:19.53
that specifically
talked about sexuality,
00:53:19.56\00:53:22.26
and I had been interested
in that as a young man.
00:53:22.30\00:53:25.13
And so I decided to go ahead
00:53:25.17\00:53:26.60
and just kind of look through it
00:53:26.63\00:53:27.97
and read through the chapter.
00:53:28.00\00:53:29.34
And I remember one
of my friends coming up
00:53:29.37\00:53:31.51
and sneaking up behind me.
00:53:31.54\00:53:33.34
And he was
actually making fun of me
00:53:33.38\00:53:36.18
and teasing me a
little bit about it.
00:53:36.21\00:53:37.95
And I felt, of
course, embarrassed about it.
00:53:37.98\00:53:40.32
And...
00:53:40.35\00:53:41.85
But you know, it's
really hard for a young person
00:53:41.88\00:53:45.42
in their early
teens 12, 13 years old,
00:53:45.45\00:53:49.06
to be able to have
these conversations
00:53:49.09\00:53:51.06
and to be able to do
it in a bias free zone
00:53:51.09\00:53:54.83
where you actually feel
like you're not being judged.
00:53:54.86\00:53:58.13
And so it is very
helpful to be able to read
00:53:58.17\00:54:00.30
this kind of
material coming from a book,
00:54:00.34\00:54:02.04
especially when
you don't have parents
00:54:02.07\00:54:03.64
who give you the talk.
00:54:03.67\00:54:05.57
And so whenever they
don't give you those talks
00:54:05.61\00:54:07.71
whenever you're
young, it's kind of hard
00:54:07.74\00:54:09.21
to discover those
things on your own.
00:54:09.24\00:54:11.25
So I remember
going through this book
00:54:11.28\00:54:12.81
and reading through
some of these key points on,
00:54:12.85\00:54:15.58
if I can say, how to be a man,
00:54:15.62\00:54:17.32
so to speak, and
also learning about
00:54:17.35\00:54:19.59
things concerning sexuality
and things about my life
00:54:19.62\00:54:22.29
that were very pertinent
to me as a young person.
00:54:22.32\00:54:25.06
It was very, very helpful
00:54:25.09\00:54:26.70
during my time
as a young person.
00:54:26.73\00:54:29.56
During that time
period, I was very...
00:54:29.60\00:54:31.83
Like most teens, very confused
and trying to find my identity.
00:54:31.87\00:54:35.80
But I was able to find it
through the help of this book.
00:54:35.84\00:54:38.67
And through that and
the Holy Spirit guiding me,
00:54:38.71\00:54:41.18
I was able to become
the man that I am today.
00:54:41.21\00:54:44.05
And if there was
anything that I would say
00:54:44.08\00:54:45.95
to a young person it
would be to don't sweat it man,
00:54:45.98\00:54:49.12
just read this book instead.
00:54:49.15\00:54:50.52
Wow.
00:54:53.56\00:54:54.89
You know, the testimonies to me
00:54:54.92\00:54:57.69
are the most
effective thing that we have.
00:54:57.73\00:54:59.56
Like you said, you
don't always know as a writer,
00:54:59.59\00:55:02.63
but when you actually
meet someone later and say,
00:55:02.66\00:55:05.53
"Look, here I was
in my 12, 13 years old,
00:55:05.57\00:55:09.10
and you really helped me."
00:55:09.14\00:55:10.47
You know.
00:55:10.51\00:55:11.84
And I mean, that's got
to be rewarding to you, Pat.
00:55:11.87\00:55:14.61
It's very rewarding.
00:55:14.64\00:55:15.98
And it's like I said, something
that you don't often hear.
00:55:16.01\00:55:18.78
You don't get
that kind of feedback.
00:55:18.81\00:55:20.45
So it's wonderful to know
00:55:20.48\00:55:22.52
that you've impacted someone's
life in a positive way.
00:55:22.55\00:55:24.95
Yes.
00:55:24.99\00:55:26.32
And I'm not the writer,
but I designed the cover.
00:55:26.35\00:55:28.49
We had a good friend...
00:55:28.52\00:55:30.29
And the pages also.
00:55:30.33\00:55:31.76
We had a good
friend, Ted Butler,
00:55:31.79\00:55:33.40
who is an amazing graphic
artist and a fine artist.
00:55:33.43\00:55:38.23
He actually did the artwork.
00:55:38.27\00:55:40.10
And so anyway, the
kids always asked me though,
00:55:40.14\00:55:44.17
"Why are their heads so big?"
00:55:44.21\00:55:47.04
That's what they ask me.
00:55:47.08\00:55:49.34
So that's not the question
00:55:49.38\00:55:50.71
that you want to
ask Ask It Basket.
00:55:50.75\00:55:52.08
That's good.
00:55:55.58\00:55:56.92
Now that book is
not in print right now.
00:55:56.95\00:55:59.39
But what do you think
about maybe reprinting it?
00:55:59.42\00:56:01.56
Yes.
00:56:01.59\00:56:02.92
I've got a feeling that
kids are the same growing up
00:56:02.96\00:56:05.53
10 years, 20 years ago.
00:56:05.56\00:56:07.23
We all have the same
questions growing up.
00:56:07.26\00:56:09.33
So it sounds like to
me it'd be very relevant.
00:56:09.36\00:56:11.83
Oh, I think so.
00:56:11.87\00:56:13.20
Yeah.
00:56:13.23\00:56:14.57
We only have a...
00:56:14.60\00:56:15.94
In this hour, we've got
about a minute and 30 seconds.
00:56:15.97\00:56:17.67
What I want to do,
00:56:17.71\00:56:19.17
what we really want to
feature after a while...
00:56:19.21\00:56:21.24
We're going to go
through with some more history.
00:56:21.28\00:56:23.14
You'll all find out
more about your new ministry.
00:56:23.18\00:56:25.45
But this is The Crowning Act.
00:56:25.48\00:56:27.78
And tell us...
00:56:27.82\00:56:29.15
Just to tease us
just a little bit
00:56:29.18\00:56:30.52
right before we go.
00:56:30.55\00:56:31.89
That what we're going to be
hearing about the next hour.
00:56:31.92\00:56:33.96
Okay.
00:56:33.99\00:56:35.32
The Bible says in Matthew 24:23,
00:56:35.36\00:56:39.29
"Then if any man
shall say unto you,
00:56:39.33\00:56:40.90
'Lo, here's Christ, or
there, believe it or not.'"
00:56:40.93\00:56:44.27
We're going to have a film
00:56:44.30\00:56:46.80
that people can
share on the internet
00:56:46.84\00:56:49.57

appearing of Satan as Christ.

be a year from now,
00:56:57.91\00:56:59.38
two years from

00:56:59.41\00:57:01.02
The film is
being released today.
00:57:01.05\00:57:03.79
But we're not going
to tell you the website
00:57:03.82\00:57:05.19

00:57:05.22\00:57:06.55

00:57:21.70\00:57:24.21

little bit more history

break, but that's always...
