00:03 I want to spend my life Mending broken people I want to spend
00:17 my life Removing pain Lord, let my words heal a heart that 00:34 hurts. 00:37 I want to spend my life mending broken people. 00:47 I want to spend my life mending broken people. 01:01 Hello 01:07 and welcome to 3ABN Today Live. 01:09 3ABN Behind the Scenes is what we call this program. 01:12 It's a great two hours talking about what the Lord is doing 01:15 through the ministry of 3ABN. 01:17 We just want to say thank you for joining us. 01:19 We look forward to spending these two hours with you. 01:22 You know what, Jill, one of the reasons we do is because you're 01:24 part of the 3ABN family and you know what, tonight, yes, we're 01:28 going to be talking about evangelism, but we have 01:30 something super duper, is that such a word? 01:33 It's a word now. 01:35 Super duper exciting to share with you this evening. 01:38 Something, Mr. Danny, I'm not sure that 3ABN has really ever 01:41 quite done before, so I'm excited about sharing that with 01:44 you this evening. 01:45 But again, it's all about evangelism and Jill, the second 01:48 hour is going to be packed full. 01:50 Just this first hour is the four of us, but then we're 01:52 adding some others of the 3ABN family and going to be talking 01:55 about some other great opportunities and exciting 01:57 evangelism projects. 01:58 That's right, absolutely. 01:59 We love this time because we love you. 02:01 You are part of the 3ABN family. 02:03 We love spending this time together sharing what God is 02:06 doing in and through your ministry, 3ABN, and some of our 02:09 favorite people in the whole world are on the set right now 02:12 this first hour. 02:14 Mr. Danny and Dr. Yvonne, I love you both, glad you're here 02:16 tonight. 02:17 Oh, thank you, we love you. 02:19 And likewise, absolutely, what a blessing it is to work with 02:22 Greg and Jill and most of our team here. 02:25 Amazing people of God, very humble. 02:28 And they just live, eat and breathe and sleep the Gospel 02:32 and evangelism. 02:33 And that's the way it should be. 02:34 We're in the very closing moments of verse history, 02:36 right? 02:37 Absolutely, absolutely. 02:38 It's such a blessing. 02:40 Again, we love you guys so much. 02:42 You're our babies. 02:43 Oh, that's awesome. 02:47 We're old enough we can say that and they not get offended, 02:49 right? 02:51 It's an honor and privilege. 02:52 But it's amazing to be alive at this moment in earth's history, 02:54 isn't it? 02:57 mentioned, Mr. Danny, we're down at the very end of time 03:00 and the freedoms that we have here, especially in the United 03:02 States, are incredible. 03:03 The opportunities for evangelism are amazing and to 03:06 me, God saw down through time that 3A Bench should be in 03:09 existence at this moment, the closing moments, as you often 03:12 say, Mr. Danny, of this earth's history and here we are. 03:14 I'm so glad you said that, Greg, because now is the time 03:18 because we don't know how long we'll be able to have this kind 03:22 of platform because we're just seeing a lot of our freedoms 03:27 eroding. 03:28 So now is the time and so it is a privilege to be able to do 03:33 this now and we're so grateful for you because without you, we 03:38 would not have this platform to spread the Gospel. 03:41 So it's a blessing. 03:43 You know, life is a really precious gift too. 03:45 I was thinking about, you know, we attended one of your family 03:47 members passed away this past week and you never know, they 03:50 were, in my opinion, quite young. 03:53 Life is a precious gift. 03:55 We never know when our life may end so like you mentioned, Dr. 03:58 Yvonne, now is the day of salvation but also now is the 04:01 day to get involved with evangelism. 04:03 Yes, yes. 04:06 We are living in the closing moments of our history so we're 04:08 just excited tonight to discuss ways that you can partner with 04:13 us in getting this Gospel to the world as never before. 04:16 Before we discuss those ways, we have some music. 04:19 Jared and Hilary Mitchell are with us. 04:22 Lovely couple. 04:24 Wonderful anointing on them. 04:26 And this song they'll be ministering is Great is Thy 04:30 Faithful. 04:39 Great is thy faithfulness, O God, my Father. 04:50 There is no shadow of turning with thee. 05:01 Thou changest not thy compassions, they fail not. 05:11 As thou hast been, thou forever will be. 05:21 Great is thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness. 05:30 Morning by morning new mercies I see, and all I have needed 05:44 thy hand have provided. 05:49 Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto thee. 06:07 Summer and winter and springtime and harvest. 06:17 Sun, moon and stars in their courses above. 06:26 Join with all nature in manifold witness to thy great 06:39 faithfulness, mercy and love. 06:45 Great is thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness. 06:56 Morning by morning new mercies I see, and all I have needed 07:09 thy hand have provided. 07:13 Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me. 07:27 And all I have needed thy hand have provided. 07:35 Great is thy faithfulness, great is thy faithfulness. 07:48 Great is thy faithfulness, 08:00 Lord unto me. 08:21 Amen, thank you so very much, Jared and Hillary, and of 08:24 course Tim Parton there at the piano. 08:26 What an incredible song too, industry music. 08:29 Great talent there, and thank you for sharing that for the 08:31 Lord Jesus Christ. 08:32 Great is God's faithfulness. 08:34 You know this past year, this year is, we have three event 08:38 has themes, that's what I'm getting at, and this is the 08:40 year of preparation. 08:41 Last year was God is faithful, so God is always faithful, 08:45 right? 08:48 our prayer here at 3ABN. 08:49 Thank you God for being faithful, but also we want to 08:52 be faithful to you. 08:56 what this year is, and it's preparing for Christ's soon 08:58 return, but also preparing our hearts personally for Christ's 09:02 soon return, but then preparing a world for Christ's soon 09:05 return, and also being prepared this year for the doors of 09:08 opportunity for evangelism that will open and tonight we have 09:13 an incredible door of evangelism that is opening, and 09:17 Jill I'm going to let you share about that and then all of us 09:18 are going to discuss this because I am just really, 09:21 really, really excited about this opportunity tonight. 09:23 So we've talked to you before about this, I think this is the 09:27 latest book, Can the Christian Church Affirm LGBTQ? 09:31 And I know many of you because we've talked to you, whether 09:34 we've been out in person or on the phone or through social 09:37 media, you've said you've utilized this book in 09:40 evangelism, sharing it with people in your community, in 09:44 your church, in your neighborhood, we're passing it 09:47 out and we thank you for that. 09:49 We've been praying about what's another way that we can use to 09:53 specifically get this booklet into churches, because this 09:57 booklet is not just for those within the Seventh-day 10:00 Adventist Church, although we clearly need it within the 10:02 Seventh -day Adventist Church, we need this biblical truth, 10:05 but every denomination is wrestling with and facing this 10:10 issue, and so it's so needed across many denominations, and 10:14 so the team here has been working on a way that this 10:19 booklet can be mailed into churches, so we're starting 10:23 tonight, the first denomination, can I mention the 10:26 Don Riff Denomination? 10:27 The first denomination is the Baptist, there's 72,000 Baptist 10:34 churches in the United States, and we want this booklet to go 10:38 to every church, so the thought process is that for only 49 10:44 cents, that includes... 10:45 How much? 10:46 49. 10:46 49 cents. 10:47 That's less than 50 cents, right? 10:50 Wow. 10:55 when people get it in the mail, they can say, oh, here's how I 10:58 can order more. 10:59 What about the shipping? 11:00 It includes the shipping. 11:01 It includes the shipping. 11:02 To the church. 11:08 order more, and one of these fancy little envelopes, it 11:11 would go in an envelope that says 3ABN, boom, it would end 11:16 up at the church, so these are not being mailed to people's 11:19 homes, these are being mailed to churches across the United 11:22 States. 11:25 that. 11:25 That's correct. 11:26 Get those, right. 11:27 So for 49 cents, you can call us right now, and we'll talk 11:30 about it, but you can call us right now if you want to become 11:32 involved, so that would be for one dollar, you could sponsor 11:35 two churches. 11:36 Wow. 11:38 That's incredible. 11:39 I mean, I'm not super good with math, but it's incredible. 11:43 I think for just a very little amount, you could sponsor this 11:46 to get into churches. 11:47 Yes. 11:48 You can call us right now, 618 -627-4651. 11:53 That number again is 618-627 -4651, and you can say, I have 11:59 a dollar or five or ten or a hundred or ten thousand 12:02 dollars, and I want to use that to get these booklets into 12:06 churches across North America, or as we mentioned, we just 12:10 picked the Baptist denomination to start with, but we want to 12:12 cross that over to many different denominations to be 12:16 able to get this booklet out. 12:17 Yeah, all of them actually, and so you're not buying or 12:22 purchasing anything. 12:23 Basically, the books are free. 12:25 They're free in the sense we already had donors before they 12:29 came out that said, hey, we'll sponsor these books. 12:32 So really all you're paying for is the shipping and to get 12:36 these books, and so to get them in the envelopes and to get 12:39 them shipped, so that's the whole shooting match. 12:42 The whole shooting match. 12:43 I like that. 12:44 That's great. 12:44 The whole shooting match. 12:46 That's an old term, I'm sure. 12:48 So to get them in virtually every church in America to 12:51 begin with, and so I didn't realize there were 73,000 12:56 churches, Baptist churches, not 73,000 people. 13:00 That's counting all the different, say, Freewill, 13:02 Southern, all of these. 13:05 But 73,000 separate churches, so we're hitting those first. 13:11 And Methodist, I think, 6,000 churches have split over this 13:15 topic. 13:15 They sure have. 13:16 And so we want to hit them all, I think. 13:19 We do, absolutely. 13:20 So as long as you support and you help, I mean Catholic 13:23 Church also, so it's going to be an amazing, amazing project, 13:28 and thank you all for... 13:29 No, it's amazing. 13:32 cost as much as possible. 13:34 So there's been a lot of back and forth to get the price 13:36 down, and we just appreciate those that have made that 13:38 possible. 13:39 So it's amazing. 13:40 To me, I mean, you think about it, going to 73,000 churches, 13:44 who knows how big each congregation is? 13:46 Can you imagine? 13:47 I'm going to say on a Sunday morning, right, they get up and 13:49 say, guess what, folks, we received this incredible 13:52 booklet, the opportunity for our church to get more of these 13:55 booklets. 13:56 So one book can touch an entire congregation. 13:59 We don't know. 14:00 They may order thousands of them. 14:02 They might. 14:03 Yes. 14:06 and how that ripple effect will grow bigger and bigger for 49 14:09 cents. 14:12 this is going to churches, the Baptist Church to start with, 14:14 but we have calculated with the mailing list that we have 14:18 received, is about 400 and some churches across the United 14:21 States, to give or take, depending on which ones you go 14:23 for, 400,000 churches. 14:26 400,000. 14:26 Yeah, 400,000 churches. 14:28 That's right. 14:31 we're starting out with the Baptists and that's 73,000 14:34 churches. 14:38 this is not like we're sending you this and saying you need to 14:41 become a... 14:47 I was just going to say that this is a biblical perspective 14:52 on this issue, and so many churches and church leaders are 14:57 wondering, how do we deal with this from a biblical 15:00 perspective? 15:01 And this booklet just goes through it point by point and 15:06 gives all the scriptures that you need to defend the biblical 15:10 position on LGBTQ and how to relate to this whole topic. 15:17 So, what a blessing. 15:18 I'm so thankful you wrote this. 15:19 Oh, me too. 15:21 It's so needed. 15:23 It's needed because it literally is making inroads 15:25 into every Christian church and Catholic and Protestant. 15:30 And I mean, it's just... 15:31 To me, if somebody, one would ask me, 10, 15 or 20 years ago, 15:37 would it be possible, are we seeing what we see today? 15:40 So many churches affirming and embracing LGBTQ, the movement, 15:45 I would have said, no way. 15:47 Especially in our church. 15:49 Especially in these evangelicals. 15:51 This would never happen. 15:52 But it is. 15:56 are all preaching on other things. 15:58 They're not looking, keeping the back gates closed. 16:01 Yes. 16:04 And so this is a topic that I felt like had to be written 16:08 about. 16:13 how to explain it. 16:14 I don't know how to talk about it. 16:15 So we did that. 16:16 We did the research and took the Bible. 16:18 So it's not our opinions in here. 16:20 This is what the Bible says about it. 16:22 And so we try to be, you know, say, Lord, because we need to 16:26 know first ourself. 16:27 Most of us, and probably most of you watching, have people 16:30 either who are friends or family who are LGBTQ. 16:34 And we love those people. 16:35 Of course. 16:36 And God loves the people. 16:37 That's right. 16:41 come you didn't write a book on alcoholism? 16:44 Or how come you didn't write a book on prostitution or 16:47 adultery? 16:47 Why didn't you write those? 16:49 The difference is, this movement that is basically at 16:54 the point now, I want to say, I'm going to use kind of a 16:57 strong term, but demanding they be accepted or affirmed by the 17:00 Christian Church. 17:02 And so they refuse to say, this is sin. 17:06 This lifestyle is sin. 17:08 So we don't have to ask God for it. 17:10 You need to accept us. 17:12 We want to be teachers, preachers, pastors, Sunday 17:15 school, Sabbath school teachers, whatever. 17:18 And you accept us as we are. 17:19 We're born this way. 17:20 And so there's nothing wrong with it. 17:22 Well, we're all sinners saved by grace, right? 17:27 But the only way that a person can go to heaven since we're 17:30 born into a sinful world is to recognize that we are sinners, 17:35 number one, and what is sin? 17:37 Sin is the transgression or the breaking of the Ten Commandment 17:40 Law. 17:41 So when you break the Ten Commandment Law, Jesus died on 17:45 the cross. 17:47 Where would we be? 17:48 As an atonement for our sins. 17:50 That's so amazing to me that He could love us enough to do 17:53 that, that He would die on the cross and atonement for our 17:56 sins. 18:00 salvation. 18:01 But here's the situation. 18:03 We have to confess our sins. 18:05 If we want to be, 1 John 1.9 says, if we confess our sins, 18:09 He's what? 18:10 Faithful and just to forgive us from our sins and to cleanse us 18:16 from all unrighteousness. 18:19 The folks at home, I could hear them saying this with me. 18:22 So what an opportunity. 18:23 So it's our responsibility. 18:25 So we're not setting in judgment. 18:27 We're not saying, oh, you're LGBTQ, so you're worse than my 18:31 sin or you're worse than somebody else's sin or I'm a 18:34 better Christian than you are. 18:36 That has nothing to do with it. 18:38 So when it comes to adultery or alcoholism or prostitution, all 18:43 kinds of things, pride. 18:45 We all struggle with these. 18:47 We're in a great controversy between good and evil. 18:50 And so the beauty of this is this is able to tell people, 18:54 you're being deceived right now. 18:56 We love you enough to tell you the truth. 18:58 See, a lot of people won't do that. 19:00 A lot of churches won't do that because it's politically 19:03 incorrect. 19:04 In the culture in which we're living right now, it's 19:07 politically incorrect to tell someone, hey, homosexuality, 19:11 the practice of it is a sin. 19:13 Because you're judging. 19:14 You're judging. 19:15 They say, don't judge. 19:16 Who are you to judge? 19:18 But the Bible simply says that we have to confess our sins. 19:23 So someone said to me and I've said it before, probably bears 19:26 again, well, why don't you preach the seventh commandment 19:29 is on adultery. 19:31 Well, you talk about homosexuals. 19:32 Why don't you preach on adultery? 19:35 Well, we do. 19:35 It's the same thing. 19:36 So what I say to people and you've heard me do it numerous 19:41 times. 19:45 come in your church into membership and to participate 19:50 in whatever services, even up to being pastor, you're willing 19:54 to do that, right? 19:55 You have people who are willing to do that and yet they don't 19:59 admit that it's sin. 20:01 So I say, okay, what if this were a heterosexual couple? 20:07 Someone comes to your church, okay? 20:10 And they say, look, we're living together. 20:13 We're not married. 20:14 We're living together, but we want you to accept us into your 20:19 church membership and I'd like to be your associate pastor and 20:22 my wife would like to be your Sunday school or Sabbath school 20:24 teacher. 20:26 And what would you say? 20:28 And almost invariably they'd say, oh, no, we won't do that. 20:30 The church wouldn't accept that. 20:31 These are people I've talked to personally. 20:33 They'll say, oh, no, no, we wouldn't accept that. 20:36 And I say, but yet if a homosexual couple comes and 20:40 says we want to be part of your church, it's still the seventh 20:43 commandment. 20:48 And they say we want to become members and you say, well, we 20:52 need to do that because we don't want them to think we 20:54 don't love them. 20:56 Well, you didn't do that when it was a heterosexual couple. 20:59 So what it is, what is making us think that way? 21:03 What is making us think that way? 21:04 It's culture and politics because you don't get that from 21:07 the Bible. 21:08 The Bible is really simple. 21:10 If you read it, they're both wrong. 21:11 Now, will a heterosexual couple living together, living in sin, 21:17 no matter if they're participating in the church or 21:20 not, will they be saved or do they have to confess their sins 21:23 in order to be saved? 21:25 We all have to confess our sins. 21:28 So why is it that only the homosexual community, according 21:33 to, there's a lot of churches, including some of our own. 21:36 Well, it's okay. 21:38 We will affirm you just as you are. 21:40 Well, we can't do that. 21:41 God doesn't even affirm unconfessed sins. 21:45 So our sins must be confessed to God in order for us to get 21:52 forgiveness. 21:56 from our wicked ways and we go the opposite way. 21:58 And when we fail, which we may, I do, we fail, but we can come 22:05 back and say, Lord, I'm so sorry. 22:07 Will you forgive me? 22:08 You see, the difference is you're not judging people. 22:11 You're a better Christian or not, but this, any open sin, 22:16 whether it's this or any other sin, whether it's heterosexual 22:19 or whatever we were talking about, must be confessed to God 22:24 and ask forgiveness, be a godly sorrow, come to the Lord and 22:28 say, Lord, please forgive me and help me to not commit this 22:34 sin anymore. 22:35 And so really that's what it's all about. 22:37 It's not like people were like, why are you judging people? 22:40 Boy, do you think you're better than the homosexual? 22:42 Don't you love them? 22:44 We want them in our church. 22:45 Well, we do too. 22:46 We do too, just like everyone else. 22:48 So I don't know if that makes any sense. 22:50 I'm trying to say, but it's not against anybody. 22:54 In fact, I would take, if I were an attorney, which I'm 22:57 not, and I were in court, I would take this as to say, we 23:00 love you more. 23:02 In other words, we love you enough to tell you the truth. 23:04 So if I had a client, I'd say, he loves you enough to tell you 23:07 the truth, because this truth, it's the truth that will set 23:12 you free. 23:12 Amen. 23:16 back to me, but they were born that way, which is still a 23:21 matter. 23:25 Well, yeah, but the difference is, heterosexual couple, the 23:28 difference in them and homosexual couple, and 23:31 unmarried, is that the homosexuals, they're born that 23:35 way. 23:35 Well, guess what? 23:37 We're all born sinful. 23:40 Sinful nature. 23:41 Sinful nature. 23:42 So it doesn't, we're all born, but Jesus says he can give us 23:46 victory over sin in our lives. 23:49 If God can't give us victory over sin in our lives, he's not 23:52 much of a God. 23:53 Right? 23:57 than God. 23:58 God is more, greater is he that is in you, right? 24:01 Us, than he that is in the world. 24:04 And so we can always stand on the promises of God. 24:08 So no matter how you're born, what sinful nature we're born, 24:12 God can give us victory. 24:13 We just have to come to him, trust him and say, Lord, not my 24:17 will, but your will be done. 24:19 And I promise you, God can give you victory. 24:21 How do I know? 24:22 We know a number of people, a number of people in groups like 24:26 Coming Out Ministry, that people were in this virtually 24:30 all their lives. 24:34 molested by people and their whole lives, sexually messed 24:39 up, perverted, messed up. 24:41 And they go for maybe 30 years old. 24:43 They find Jesus, and God not only takes that sin away, but 24:47 gives them the natural feelings between one man and one woman. 24:51 So now they get into relationships, get married, 24:53 have children, living very fulfilled lives. 24:57 Because people say, yeah, but the difference is these poor 25:00 people, if they can't be together and live together, 25:04 they can't be like the rest of us. 25:07 No, you can. 25:08 Because we know numerous people who give their testimony over 25:12 and over and over again. 25:13 We were there. 25:14 God took us out of that because we asked Him to. 25:18 And yes, it may have been a struggle, and it may have taken 25:20 me a while, but He took us out of that. 25:22 And now we're happy, contented, living for the Lord. 25:25 God wants to give you that same thing, but people won't tell 25:29 us. 25:29 And so we don't have enough facts. 25:31 So most of the people that I talk to say, well, I wish I 25:34 knew. 25:35 I had one woman tell me a few weeks ago. 25:37 She said, you're very convincing. 25:39 I wish I knew that. 25:41 But I can't go tell somebody, well, now you don't have to. 25:45 You just give them a book. 25:46 Because it's all in here and more. 25:49 So that's the reason we wrote it is because we're concerned 25:52 that the devil is deceiving people. 25:55 He's deceiving the church. 25:57 And it says if it were possible, even the very elect 26:01 would be deceived. 26:02 And so who we always consider ourselves, especially if you 26:06 think you're part of a remnant church, you must be the very 26:09 elect that we're not going to be deceived, but we are. 26:13 Because it's happening within our church, our universities, 26:17 also our schools, that it is and all these others. 26:20 So this book is written for all denominations. 26:23 And when I did the sermon last summer, we got several hundred 26:26 thousand views on it. 26:28 But people, I read a lot of the comments, and they were saying, 26:31 we need this in our church. 26:33 We're not Seventh Avenue. 26:34 Some said we're Catholic, but we need it. 26:36 One Baptist minister said, can I get a transcription of this 26:41 whole sermon? 26:42 I want to preach it word for word. 26:44 And so others have written and said, we're not of this faith, 26:47 we're not. 26:48 But this is needed in our churches. 26:50 So thank you, Greg and Jill, for this and pushing forward 26:53 with this. 26:57 I didn't realize there were that many churches It's 27:00 incredible that we want to get this to them and for 49 cents. 27:04 49 cents a church. 27:05 So now you can sponsor this project going into churches. 27:09 So thank you so much for that, Mr. Danny. 27:11 I think it's so important. 27:12 We recognize that this is not people bashing. 27:15 This is lifting up Jesus and lifting up the law. 27:20 Those both together and showing that the law applies to us 27:24 equally. 27:27 So this is so important because churches are wrestling with us. 27:30 So you can call us right now at 618-627-4651. 27:36 That number again is 618-627 -4651. 27:40 And you can sponsor this booklet being put into an 27:45 envelope like this along with a flyer. 27:48 So if the churches say, oh, I really like this and I'd like 27:51 to order more for my church members, they know how they can 27:54 do that. 27:55 And it includes the postage. 27:57 So for 49 cents, you get the little booklet that's already 28:00 been sponsored and paid for it. 28:01 Then it gets inserted into the envelope. 28:03 You get the flyer and the postage is paid and it will be 28:07 mailed out into churches across the United States. 28:10 So $10 would do like 20 churches. 28:13 It would. 28:13 Churches. 28:14 $10. 28:15 20 churches. 28:16 Then those churches, once they get them to pastor, see them, 28:19 they may be 150, maybe 50, 100, 200 from each church who says, 28:25 we want those. 28:26 Correct. 28:26 We want to pass them out. 28:27 No, this is huge. 28:30 oh, I really want to write a check, we still do that too. 28:32 We do. 28:36 either the LGBTQ booklet or you could mark church mailing. 28:40 That's good. 28:44 Church mailing. 28:45 Because these booklets are going into churches. 28:46 So either way works. 28:48 Or you can go online if you want to donate online to www 28:51 .3ABN.tv and the fund code is 350. 28:55 Just look for that. 28:57 And you can sponsor this booklet going into churches. 29:01 So we're super excited about this evangelistic opportunity. 29:05 I mean, it's a great opportunity for evangelism. 29:07 You know, a lot of times people go door to door and hand out 29:09 books, but I know some can't time. 29:11 They're so busy or just not able to. 29:13 So you think about this. 29:14 You can be a missionary, so to speak, without actually going 29:17 out and knocking on doors. 29:18 If you can't, you can just sponsor these. 29:20 This is going to churches. 29:21 Looks like Mr. Danny was saying that represents who knows how 29:23 many members at the church. 29:25 So to me as a kid, we had an old farm pond and I like to 29:29 skip rocks or throw rocks into that pond. 29:31 And I like to watch the ripples, right? 29:33 So I throw one stone in into the water and man, it would get 29:36 bigger and bigger, more and more ripples. 29:37 To me, I'm not saying these books are stones, but I'm 29:40 saying they represent a ripple, something that starts a ripple. 29:43 And so this gets bigger and bigger and bigger. 29:45 So I'm excited. 29:46 We're talking about being prepared for opportunities for 29:49 evangelism. 29:54 You jump on board evangelism projects that 3ABM puts out 29:57 there. 30:00 evening and in the coming weeks, we're excited about it 30:03 because God's going to do marvelous and great things 30:05 through this project. 30:06 And already has. 30:10 results already coming back. 30:12 You know, this reminds me of about 19... 30:15 I graduated high school in 1969. 30:18 1970, I spent a year doing literature evangelism. 30:21 Door to door. 30:24 You can go door to door. 30:25 That's a pretty tough way to make a living. 30:27 Let me tell you, it is. 30:28 But I remember one day I'd been out all day, followed several 30:33 leads. 30:34 If people wanted it, they didn't have the money for this 30:36 Bible story books, you know, that we had in a great 30:39 controversy, which was Triumph of God's Love. 30:41 They put, you know, Desire of Ages along with the 10. 30:45 So we had these books to sell and Yvonne, I'd gone all day, 30:50 hadn't really, you know, nobody seemed to work out. 30:53 So on the way I'm in Benton and there's a little church and 30:58 it's on South Main and it's right by the railroad tracks. 31:01 And it's a little church. 31:03 It was Church of God. 31:04 And I remember the pastor's name was Lloyd Tomer. 31:07 And so, Lloyd Tomer, I saw a car there. 31:13 So I stopped. 31:15 I said, maybe that's the pastor. 31:16 I'll go ask him. 31:18 So, you know, I'm not knowing what to expect. 31:20 So I knock on the church door and open up anybody home. 31:23 So he comes and I say, oh, pastor, you're the pastor. 31:26 Yes. 31:29 something I want to show you if you got a minute. 31:31 So I had my case and I opened up the Bible stories and he 31:35 looked at those and he said, where did you get those? 31:38 I said, well, I'm selling them. 31:40 He said, you've got to be kidding me. 31:41 He said, I have 22 around. 31:44 I think it was 22 couples in my church that are what we call 31:48 the young married couples. 31:49 Oh, wow. 31:50 And every Sunday, we study out of those. 31:53 Really? 31:55 Christians. 31:56 They don't know. 31:57 They're not ready for the other stuff. 31:59 So we go through. 32:01 He said, literally, he said, tell you what I'm going to do. 32:03 I'm going to give you the names of every couple in my church 32:07 and I'm going to give you their phone numbers. 32:09 And I want you to call them and say, Pastor Lloyd said he wants 32:12 you to buy a set of these. 32:14 So because the one pastor, and they did. 32:17 Did they really? 32:18 Almost everybody. 32:19 There may have been one or two he didn't, but almost every, 32:22 that's how much influence these pastors have. 32:24 So one pastor get one of these. 32:27 He can influence literally his whole church if he reads it and 32:31 supports it and he's honest at heart and wants to know the 32:34 truth about it because again, it's not our opinion. 32:37 We're giving you scriptures, you know, either side, pro 32:40 conda to let you decide, but it's clear in God's word. 32:44 So from that, that was the biggest day I ever had in 32:47 literature evangelism, but to one pastor, because he saw it, 32:52 he supported it, nearly all the married couples in his church. 32:56 Amen. 32:57 Praise the Lord. 32:59 You know, this is a 3ABN behind the scenes program and Dr. 33:02 Yvonne, I'm going to come to you because just this week, 33:04 3ABN's Dare to Dream Network recorded some incredible 33:07 programs and we can look at, I know a couple of pictures there 33:10 of this amazing set. 33:12 I mean, the set looks great, but the content was fantastic 33:14 and it has to do with identity. 33:16 Kind of give us a little sneak preview because this program is 33:18 going to be coming on Dare to Dream and of course, I know 33:20 Parent will pick it up too. 33:21 I am so excited. 33:23 Me too. 33:29 a program for children. 33:31 It's called Be Real, Be True, Be You. 33:34 Alright. 33:40 Amen. 33:46 know, should my children watch this? 33:47 No, no, no. 33:52 It sure is. 33:58 God's plan for men and women. 34:01 It's just beautiful and the children loved it. 34:04 They loved it. 34:05 We had children on the set so I'm just super excited about 34:09 it. 34:12 believe these kids and what's being taught and how, you know, 34:17 they're all participating and how beautiful the set and how 34:21 well the whole thing. 34:23 I know you know. 34:23 Yes. 34:24 No, we heard loud nine. 34:25 We heard really positive things too from like the kids and 34:27 parents, you know, of like wow, this is incredible. 34:30 You know, it was just really good and the programs are, is 34:32 it 14 minutes long? 34:34 Or is it 30 minutes? 34:34 14 or 15. 34:35 15 minutes. 34:36 Yeah. 34:37 14 or 15 minutes. 34:38 I think it's 15. 34:39 I think we recorded about 11 or 12 programs this week. 34:42 Yes. 34:43 Amazing. 34:44 Yes. 34:47 so necessary. 34:53 television, social media, all of that. 34:56 They're not often getting the truth. 34:59 Yes. 35:02 doing it at every level and these children range from, I 35:07 think, age 6 to about 12 or 14. 35:10 Okay. 35:10 On the set. 35:10 It's on the set. 35:12 So it's a wide range of children, of ages, but it's 35:16 just, it's really, really great. 35:18 So when you find out that it's airing, please watch because 35:22 it's going to be really good. 35:23 And I'm going to, I'm supposed to interview Michael Carducci 35:27 about the program for an urban report on Dare to Dream as 35:30 well. 35:31 So yeah, it's coming and it's exciting. 35:33 And super needed as well. 35:36 Super needed. 35:37 You know what's exciting to me is that 3ABN is about 35:40 counteracting the counterfeit. 35:41 Sure is. 35:44 you can counteract the counterfeit by getting this 35:47 booklet, sponsoring it into churches or watching this 35:50 program about identity. 35:51 We were last weekend in Huntsville, Alabama, had a 3ABN 35:55 rally there at the first Seventh-day Adventist Church 35:59 there in Huntsville. 36:01 Dr. William Lee as the pastor there opened up, a tremendous 36:05 welcome. 36:06 Wonderful people came in from all over. 36:08 Oh yeah. 36:12 Mississippi. 36:14 Of course, yeah, so it was an incredible time. 36:17 But what I was reminded of when we were there is the impact 36:20 that this ministry makes. 36:22 You know, we met people who said, I'm a Baptist. 36:25 I met one gentleman. 36:25 I'm sure you did as well. 36:27 And he said, this is my second time in a Seventh-day Adventist 36:29 Church. 36:32 truth. 36:33 I met a lady who was Pentecostal. 36:35 It was her first time in a Seventh-day Adventist Church 36:38 and learning the biblical truth. 36:39 So it's just so exciting to see the impact that this ministry 36:43 is making. 36:44 Oh, I agree. 36:44 And then I met a young man. 36:45 I think he was 17 or 18. 36:47 He's a senior in high school and he came up with his 36:49 grandmother. 36:53 them to 3ABN. 36:55 Not long ago they got the flyer, wanted to come to the 36:58 rally. 37:01 rally. 37:03 direction in life, thinking about going to a Christian 37:06 college versus some other colleges. 37:08 And so just excited about 3ABN. 37:10 And he was saying, you know, I've never really been in an 37:13 Adventist Church before, but this is pretty incredible. 37:15 And it was just really neat to see the Lord at work. 37:17 And of course, then you have the members that have been 37:20 Seventh -day Adventists their entire life, all excited about 37:22 3ABN. 37:25 And then you have people who came to us and said, we were 37:30 Baptists and we were Catholic, but we're Seventh-day Adventist 37:33 Christians now because of 3ABN. 37:35 Isn't that amazing? 37:40 ministry. 37:40 Such a blessing. 37:42 And we had some, probably be 20ish now, at our age it's hard 37:46 to tell 20 to 30 now, 20ish who said, I grew up with 3ABN 37:52 because every time I went to my grandmother's and one guy said, 37:55 I lived with my grandma most of my life, that's all she ever 37:58 watched. 37:59 He said, I would have liked to watch something else but that's 38:01 all we ever watched. 38:02 So consequently, he's there today and said, you know, 38:06 because of that it's helped me tremendously. 38:08 And so he said, I still watch it on my own. 38:11 Not 24-7, but I do watch 3ABN, he says. 38:14 Wow. 38:16 We do, yeah, of the rally. 38:17 I'm not sure which picture they're putting up first, but 38:20 when they put them up then we'll talk about them. 38:22 This is Pastor John Noah McCain there. 38:24 He taught Sabbath school. 38:24 Beautiful church. 38:25 He and Andy were there. 38:27 So very... 38:28 There's Tim Parton doing some music on the keyboard there. 38:31 And this is a shot from the balcony actually. 38:33 Danny, you can't see but you're speaking there for church. 38:36 Great message. 38:37 It's hard to see because there's so many people there. 38:39 But great message. 38:41 Yeah. 38:43 And that was Paul and Curtis Aiken's church. 38:46 Yeah. 38:47 That was really special to be there. 38:48 And of course, they were well received. 38:50 And I believe they have one of the longest running series on 38:53 3ABN, Abundant Living. 38:55 So it's great to be with them. 38:56 Oh yeah, absolutely. 38:57 But just a great... 39:00 Yes, my family was there. 39:02 That was so great. 39:03 And I was thinking about it and I realized that when I was a 39:08 child I lived in Huntsville. 39:10 From when I was 10 to 13 because my dad went back to 39:13 Oakwood. 39:14 And we went to First Church, but it wasn't that church. 39:18 It was a different church, but I thought about it. 39:20 I was like, wait a minute. 39:22 I went to First Church. 39:23 And I didn't get to tell them that Sabbath, but yeah. 39:26 So it was really great being back in Huntsville and seeing 39:29 my family, my aunt Jo, cousins Patty. 39:33 Amen. 39:39 And like you say, they came from all over some several 39:41 hours around. 39:42 But you don't know what that does for us. 39:45 You know, people were saying, I'm so glad, you know, that we 39:49 get to meet in person. 39:50 We've watched you for years. 39:51 We're glad too. 39:53 Because we're looking through the glass and we're glad when 39:56 you come up and we know we've talked to you. 39:59 You know, whether it's social media, whether you're writing 40:01 letters to 3ABN or calling the prayer lines, whatever. 40:04 And for us, it's such a blessing to see you and to hear 40:09 your testimony. 40:10 Because you hear about us all the time. 40:12 So it's so great in these rallies we get to meet so many 40:15 people. 40:19 and shaking hands with people and you know, getting to know 40:22 people better. 40:23 And so it's always, we enjoy it. 40:26 We do. 40:27 We really enjoy it. 40:27 It's such a high day. 40:29 Isn't it though? 40:30 Such a high spiritual day. 40:31 You know, and all of us coming together and people coming 40:34 together to worship the Lord. 40:36 It's just, it's a little taste of Heaven. 40:38 One almost complaint. 40:40 One almost complaint. 40:42 The food was so good, I ate too much. 40:45 I almost put myself to sleep for the afternoon service. 40:50 Did they give a... 40:51 Oh, it was great. 40:53 They had everything. 40:54 The cooks, you know, I'm always amazed and thank you. 40:57 Those that, I went downstairs early when I go to churches. 41:00 I like to look, I'm a carpenter by trade so I get the carpenter 41:04 mentality. 41:05 So before the church started, I said, I'm going to go check 41:07 this basement out. 41:08 I want to see what's all down here and see how it's designed. 41:11 I go down and already there were a number of people, mostly 41:15 the women, that were there and they were already preparing. 41:18 They were working. 41:20 And I said, they're doing that just out of servitude. 41:22 They're just saying, we want to be a servant. 41:25 We want to serve those that are here, guests coming in, all of 41:29 us from there. 41:30 And I thanked them ahead of time. 41:31 I said, thank you so much because when we're upstairs 41:33 with all of that, you're not realizing all the people that 41:37 are working behind the scenes, parking people outside, that 41:40 there are people cooking, preparing things for us. 41:44 And I mean, it was, yes, thank you so much. 41:47 Thank you. 41:50 I think he said that they have like 23, I think, for part of 41:53 their staff to do all the media for the church, LED panels. 41:55 Just amazing. 41:57 But our next rally, Jill, is... 41:59 How did you know I was thinking you were going to ask? 42:02 Well, you know, we've been married almost 22 years, so we 42:04 kind of... 42:05 May 18. 42:05 I got the date. 42:07 May 18, we're going to the Dodge Center, Seventh-day 42:10 Adventist Church. 42:11 This is in Dodge Center, Minnesota. 42:13 So we're going from south up to north, but this is in May, so 42:16 the weather should be really good this year. 42:19 We are looking forward to being there on May 18 Sabbath, so if 42:23 you're anywhere in the area, come on out. 42:25 We would love to meet you and love to spend that Sabbath with 42:29 you. 42:33 provided by the church, and then an afternoon of music and 42:36 testimony. 42:37 So we would love that. 42:38 And speaking of coming on out or coming on down, we have our 42:42 3 of You in Camp meeting. 42:44 This is June 5 through 8. 42:47 The theme is Preparation for the Final Crisis. 42:50 What an amazing lineup of speakers. 42:53 Pastor Doug Batchelor, Sebastian Braxton, Christopher 42:56 Hudson, Ryan Johnson, Ron Kelly, Lonnie Milashenko, and 43:01 David Shin, as well as our speakers internally. 43:03 So just an incredible lineup of speakers and music. 43:07 I know, Mr. Danny, I'm sure you want to speak into that. 43:10 We have children's meetings, so Aunt Francine's working with 43:14 NAPS and the other teachers to have an incredible lineup for 43:17 the young people to be learning as well. 43:20 The food will be complimentary again. 43:23 I just talked to a woman this week who called in and she 43:25 said, I'm coming in my whole family and we're bringing a 43:28 tent. 43:28 She was all excited. 43:31 So we are so looking forward to that. 43:33 I know that the RV Park over the bath house is completely 43:37 full, but we still have a couple slots open by the call 43:40 center. 43:41 So we still have a couple RV spots. 43:43 It has full hookup, electric and water and all that stuff. 43:46 Sewer. 43:47 Thank you. 43:51 whether you bring your RV, you need to reserve for your RV. 43:55 So you can call us right now and just say you want to 43:57 reserve and we'd be happy to handle that for you. 44:01 Or you can stay in local area hotel. 44:04 So we're just looking forward to meeting you and to having a 44:07 time of spiritual renewal. 44:10 It is that. 44:13 Experiencing not just fellowship, which is a 44:15 beautiful thing. 44:20 and time in prayer and time in worship and music. 44:24 So it's going to be a spirit filled time. 44:26 I enjoy camp meeting. 44:28 It's a great time of fellowship. 44:30 It's a great family time as Jill was mentioning and a great 44:33 theme to preparation for the final crisis. 44:36 Mr. Danny, I know you usually always have the divine worship 44:40 hour message. 44:41 Any thoughts? 44:42 Can I ask, kind of put you on the spot on that? 44:43 You kind of thinking about for the kids? 44:45 Oh, yeah. 44:47 several books. 44:48 All right. 44:49 But literally, I could easily do a couple of books. 44:52 But now I've got to take all this down and shorten it. 44:56 But basically, I mean, we could change it at any time. 45:00 But the title of it, we are not, we are not the remnant 45:04 church. 45:04 Oh, my. 45:05 Then we do dot, dot, dot, yet. 45:08 Okay. 45:12 We might have to do an edit. 45:14 I'm just kidding. 45:16 I like this. 45:16 So say that one more time. 45:17 We are not the remnant church yet. 45:21 Yeah. 45:21 Wow. 45:22 It doesn't mean we don't have to be. 45:23 It doesn't mean we won't end up being. 45:25 But we're going to go through a lot. 45:26 We're going through shaking now. 45:27 We'll talk about that. 45:29 Pouring the ladder rain. 45:30 Amen. 45:34 We have to deal with this. 45:35 We have to deal. 45:36 We'll be hitting some on abortion and what the Bible 45:39 says about it. 45:40 So things that we believe that are necessary that we have to 45:45 deal with because it's dealing with us. 45:47 So either we deal with these topics in the church or they 45:50 deal with us. 45:51 And that's what's happening right now. 45:53 We've been taking a beating. 45:55 So my dad used to say to me when I was a kid at home, if 45:58 he'd say, hey son, you do it again. 46:00 Maybe I was too loud or did something. 46:01 You do that again and I'm going to turn you every way but 46:04 loose. 46:05 Now, I don't know to this day exactly what move that would be 46:10 to turn me every way but loose, but I knew it wasn't good. 46:13 I knew it was going to be bad. 46:15 So I said, okay, okay, I'm going to straighten up. 46:18 So I think the devil is turning us, this church, turning us 46:22 every way but loose right now. 46:24 But we don't have to stay in that. 46:25 Amen. 46:31 wrestling hold or maneuver. 46:32 We can be freed from that by getting back to God and 46:37 confessing our sins and saying, Lord, give us the courage and 46:40 spiritual wisdom to go forward regardless of what people 46:43 think. 46:45 So we're not on the left, we're not on the right, we're on 46:47 God's side. 46:48 And so we'll be talking some about the left, we'll be 46:51 talking some about the right. 46:53 And so will we be talking about politics? 46:56 Probably, but it's not going to be this side's bad, this side's 47:00 bad. 47:04 come from the Lord. 47:05 What we see the political arena and what's happening around the 47:08 world, we need to be sticking to the Bible and do not let our 47:11 politics interfere with the Bible truths. 47:15 Yeah. 47:15 Amen. 47:16 That's true. 47:17 Well I'm looking forward to that already. 47:19 Yes. 47:19 Yeah, praise the Lord. 47:20 He's been working on it. 47:21 I'm having her, I told her that I want her to have the car 47:25 running, the engine running, so as soon as the sermon's over I 47:30 can run out the back door and take off till we see how things 47:33 are going to... 47:34 Well I think Mr. Danny is what you do, you'll stand at the 47:36 back of the building and everyone can say hello to you 47:38 and greet you at the end of the message. 47:40 That's right. 47:43 really great is that you say Lord, hear my, I'm a servant 47:47 that is willing to be used of you Father and He has used you 47:51 all these years. 47:52 So that's what you're doing. 47:53 Some of these topics some people like to say they're 47:55 political and you shouldn't talk about them but they're 47:56 not. 48:01 like, which is really standing on the Word of God and so often 48:04 it's incredible to me that people will say some of the 48:07 stuff that's in the Bible and say that's political, but no, 48:09 it's not. 48:10 God wrote it. 48:11 So don't throw that out. 48:13 They can accuse 3ABN of being political but we're not. 48:15 We're standing on what the Word of God is. 48:17 You're pointing that out in a great balanced way. 48:20 See that's the critical thing. 48:21 I've heard some people that will maybe take the same topic 48:24 but go way off in left or right field. 48:27 But to me you're taking a very balanced approach the same as 48:29 this book right here. 48:30 It's full of love for human mankind, our brothers and our 48:34 sisters. 48:35 So again, your messages that you have done and I know the 48:37 Lord is going to do the same. 48:38 So thank you for standing for truth. 48:40 That's to me a great strength and a great gift. 48:44 And not only to be able to present it but to be able to 48:47 present it in a very clear logical way that makes sense. 48:51 And you said earlier you're not an attorney but I think God 48:54 gave you an attorney cup of mine. 48:57 It's a special gift that God has given to you. 48:58 So thank you for being willing to share it because we talk 49:01 about it in the positive aspects but also you get hit 49:04 hard too because a lot of people like to point daggers 49:07 and things like that so to speak but you don't waver and 49:10 you don't shake at that. 49:12 So praise the Lord. 49:13 Thank you very much for being a faithful man. 49:14 Ever since I was a kid I was very opinionated and I'm very 49:18 open. 49:23 a kid I would tell her about it and worry about whether we had 49:26 to fight or not later but always was opinionated. 49:29 You know, no I don't agree with that and you know, blah, blah, 49:32 blah. 49:37 gonna be your greatest blessing or your biggest curse. 49:41 So he said it will be one or the other. 49:43 You're not somebody who's just gonna go along and meander and 49:46 nobody knows. 49:50 you're gonna be so you're, so it's up. 49:53 So today I've been dedicating for many years trying to but 49:57 I'm asking God to let it be a blessing and not a curse. 50:02 But sometimes, you know, self comes through and we don't 50:05 intend to so when we do we take the credit for the bad things 50:08 only. 50:09 Give God the credit for the good things. 50:11 Jill before, yeah, you're having that book. 50:13 That's great. 50:14 Yes. 50:14 I saw you. 50:16 So I think we should talk about that one more time because 50:17 we're gonna be playing some musical chairs here and I know 50:19 you guys will be hearing this for the second hour but let's 50:22 talk about that. 50:27 United States. 50:33 booklet inserted into an envelope as well as a flyer. 50:37 So all of those items, 49 cents per church. 50:40 So that's incredible. 50:43 Starting out with 73,000 Baptist churches. 50:46 That's right. 50:47 They're gonna go to several hundred thousand more churches. 50:50 So virtually every church in America will have this 50:52 information and inside it also has about 3ABN. 50:56 Sure does. 51:00 YouTube, Dish, Fios, all the way down. 51:04 So there will be information that will put them in contact 51:07 with 3ABN. 51:09 So you can call us right now, 618-627-4651. 51:14 That number again is 618-627 -4651. 51:18 All you have to say is I want to sponsor this booklet going 51:21 into churches. 51:23 Or you can go online, 3ABN.TV, and you click on the donate tab 51:28 and you just scroll down to fund code 350. 51:31 So this would sponsor the LGBTQ booklet or you could just call 51:34 church mailing going out into churches. 51:37 So we want to distribute this into churches that can then be 51:41 shared within their communities. 51:43 Oh yeah, absolutely. 51:45 You know, we're going forward in faith. 51:47 I've already talked to Eric Wiesner. 51:49 I said we need to start moving some pallets up to the 51:51 inserting house which is the mailing house that does all the 51:53 inserting. 51:57 Spirit, the funds will come in. 51:58 We're not concerned about that. 51:59 to get this Gospel out there to the churches and so we're 52:02 sending pallets out, already stuff is in the works to have 52:05 it printed. 52:06 So I'm again just really, really excited about this 52:08 opportunity. 52:09 Yeah, and I'd like to encourage the people too because so many 52:12 times they want to pat you on the back and say thank you for 52:15 what you're doing but this is an opportunity for you to do 52:18 something if you're not already that you can do something too 52:21 and helping promote and we have a number of books called The 52:25 Truth About series and so getting the truth out, this 52:29 happens to be one can the Christian Church affirm LGBTQ+. 52:33 So we're asking you to pray and ask the Holy Spirit what he 52:37 would have you to do. 52:38 If you think about it, $25 can sponsor this going to 25 or 50 52:45 separate churches, 50 churches of pastors, 50 pastors and 52:49 churches for literally $25. 52:53 I mean that is amazing and thank you for negotiating and 52:58 all the work you've done, get the prices down and both of you 53:01 for what you're doing to make this possible. 53:04 The team is the one working, making all the phone calls and 53:06 so yeah, praise the Lord. 53:08 It's amazing because it also includes the postage too which 53:12 seems like postage just keeps going up and up. 53:14 Letter or stamp is what now? 53:16 $0 .65, $0.60? 53:18 Like $0.60 for just a stamp. 53:20 Cheaper than a stamp. 53:20 Cheaper than a stamp. 53:22 Yeah, for less than the price of one stamp, you get the book, 53:25 the envelope and the postage. 53:28 That's right. 53:33 And we actually are paying for this list just so you know that 53:36 too. 53:38 Jasmine worked really hard on that aspect too because we want 53:41 to make sure this list is what's a good term, a good 53:44 valid list. 53:46 We call it scrubbing, current and they also call it scrubbing 53:49 and so that we want to make sure that when we send these 53:51 out it's not for not. 53:52 It's actually valid so we're paying just a little bit, not 53:55 very much at all for these but they're going through a whole 53:57 scrubbing process and they're valid addresses to churches. 54:01 We're hoping you're watching tonight and the Lord is 54:04 impressing you. 54:09 We still get quite a few checks here at 3ABN 54:11 We do indeed. 54:15 check, church mailing, of course our address, P.O. 54:18 Box 220, West Frankfort, Illinois, 62896 and you can 54:23 just send that check in as well. 54:24 Amen. 54:25 Yeah, Dr. Vaughn. 54:29 there's victory in Christ. 54:31 So you're not stuck in a place of where there's no victory. 54:37 There's victory in Christ so it's really positive. 54:40 It's not leaving people or woe is me or you know in despair 54:44 right? 54:45 This is so hopeful because again it's scriptural, it's 54:50 biblical you know 1 Corinthians 6, 9 through 11 you know where 54:56 such were some of you. 54:57 That's right. 55:03 will be able to all be together but the issue has to be laid 55:07 out there for people to understand, to know and then to 55:11 know how to deal with it and that's what we have biblically 55:14 in here so I'm really thankful. 55:16 Yeah, God has to be ahead of the church if he's not it's all 55:21 in vain everything that we do and so we have to give the 55:25 truth to lost and dying world and if we're not willing to 55:28 stand up for truth it's going to end up destroying us. 55:34 absolutely. 55:38 because so often we don't talk about that aspect and that is 55:42 such a freeing point to like wow I can have victory over any 55:46 sin and God is the one that has the strength because so often 55:49 it's like we try to do it ourselves then we become 55:51 discouraged, become our worst critic and then you give up 55:55 well that's what Satan wants so it's in the book like you said 55:58 the victory aspect too so well balanced. 56:02 Amen. 56:03 We are indeed. 56:05 Just going back to camp meeting for one moment we're asking for 56:10 volunteers to come in before camp meeting and to help us 56:14 collate the prison ministry Bible studies. 56:17 They just arrived last week and this week so we're super 56:20 excited about getting that into prisons. 56:23 You know 3ABN's Bible study guides that we have available 56:26 and we've been utilizing them in many different fashions but 56:29 we want them to go into prisons so that when we send one of 56:32 those lovely study Bibles into the prisoners who request it 56:36 they'll also get a set of prison Bible study guides just 56:40 specifically for them so it has resources for them and 56:44 opportunities so we want to encourage if you want we have 56:47 volunteers already signed up if you want to come into camp 56:50 meeting early we would love for you to come like a week or two 56:53 a week or two early and you can put together a whole group 56:56 together many hands make light work my mom used to say and 57:00 that just means a whole bunch of people we can put them 57:02 together so just give us a call at we'd be happy to walk you 57:09 through that journey. 57:10 So we're trading out guests here for the second hour, but 57:13 Mr. Danny and Dr. Yvonne, we love you both so blessed. 57:16 We love you and love those of you at home. 57:19 Thank you, great family. 57:20 So blessed to serve in ministry. 57:21 Thank you all so much for your leadership, for your 57:23 mentorship, for the privilege of working together. 57:26 I'm very, very grateful for you. 57:28 The God thing. 57:29 Amen. 57:29 It is a God thing. 57:30 God set it up. 57:31 And we have some more family coming the second hour. 57:34 We're going to hear from Mr. Pastor and Mrs. Dinzey from 57:38 Ricky and Jasmine Carter, as well as Jeff Doerr. 57:40 So a full second hour. 57:41 Don't go anywhere. 57:43 We will be right back. |
