I want to spend my
life mending broken people.
00:00:03.67\00:00:12.74
I want to spend my life.
00:00:15.44\00:00:18.68
I want to spend my
life mending broken people.
00:00:36.63\00:00:44.84
I want to spend my
life mending broken people.
00:00:47.28\00:00:55.62
Hello and welcome to another
3ABN Today Behind the Scenes.
00:01:06.90\00:01:09.96
We're so glad that you've joined
us this evening and you know
00:01:10.07\00:01:13.64
we're so happy to be alive and
I have to say privileged to be
00:01:13.64\00:01:17.74
alive at this
moment in earth's history.
00:01:17.74\00:01:18.97
You know there's so much going
on, so much chaos and it seems
00:01:19.34\00:01:22.54
like when you listen to news and
stuff it all seems to be like
00:01:22.54\00:01:25.38
negativity, right?
00:01:25.45\00:01:30.19
and that's what 3ABN is all
about from the very beginning
00:01:30.19\00:01:34.26
and that's sharing the undiluted
three angels messages to a lost
00:01:34.26\00:01:38.66
and dying world. And this
evening we're so glad that
you're part of the 3ABN family.
00:01:38.93\00:01:41.83
We just want to say thank you
for your continued prayers for
00:01:42.16\00:01:45.03
the ministry and
your financial support.
00:01:45.03\00:01:47.27
It's what keeps this ministry
not only going but growing as
00:01:47.30\00:01:52.41
well. And I love these Behind
the Scenes program where we're
00:01:52.41\00:01:54.88
talking about what God is doing
through the ministry of 3ABN but
00:01:54.88\00:01:58.71
also other ministries as well
and we're going to be talking to
00:01:58.71\00:02:01.32
Pastor Doug here, Jill, in just
a couple of minutes about
something that's exciting
00:02:01.42\00:02:03.95
that's happening
and amazing facts.
00:02:03.95\00:02:05.15
Absolutely, we love sharing what
God is doing in and through the
00:02:05.45\00:02:09.06
ministry of 3ABN, your ministry
as well as in and through other
00:02:09.06\00:02:13.03
ministries such
as Amazing Facts.
00:02:13.03\00:02:15.26
Before we introduce Pastor Doug
we want to introduce our family
00:02:15.33\00:02:18.70
around the table and we'll
be trading out guests and family
00:02:18.70\00:02:22.40
members for the second hour.
00:02:22.40\00:02:26.14
Thank you, it's good to be here.
00:02:26.17\00:02:27.08
We love working in
ministry with both of you.
00:02:27.98\00:02:30.05
It's fun working
with both of you.
00:02:30.35\00:02:31.68
We have a great time together.
00:02:31.75\00:02:33.05
We do, coming around the table,
our sister Shelly Quinn, 3ABN
00:02:33.95\00:02:38.35
program development manager
and producer and JD's not here
00:02:38.35\00:02:42.96
tonight but he's just as
part of the ministry as well.
00:02:42.96\00:02:44.53
He certainly is and I
couldn't do it without him.
00:02:44.53\00:02:44.56
Glad you're here.
00:02:47.76\00:02:52.50
at home as well.
00:02:52.50\00:02:53.60
We have Pastor Doug Batchelor
that's joining us this evening
00:02:53.90\00:02:56.97
via Skype all the
way from California.
00:02:56.97\00:02:58.71
Are you there Pastor Doug?
00:02:59.41\00:03:00.28
We can see you.
00:03:00.34\00:03:01.48
I am.
00:03:02.14\00:03:03.04
I feel like I'm part of the 3ABN
family and I've spent so much
00:03:03.48\00:03:06.68
time there.
00:03:06.68\00:03:07.42
So greetings, Greg and Jill,
Shelly, Dr. Yvonne, Danny, it's
00:03:08.18\00:03:11.65
good to be with
you this evening.
00:03:11.65\00:03:13.05
Thank you, it's
good to be with you.
00:03:13.32\00:03:14.96
You know 3ABN and Amazing
Facts we've had the privilege of
00:03:15.29\00:03:17.99
partnering Mr. Danny with the
Ministry of Amazing Facts for
00:03:17.99\00:03:20.80
many, many years on many
different events and again we're
00:03:20.80\00:03:24.10
privileged. Back
from the middle nineties.
00:03:24.10\00:03:25.60
Boss Auditorium was our
first satellite seminar I think.
00:03:27.30\00:03:30.51
What was that, was
that mid, that was 95?
00:03:30.84\00:03:32.77
I think it was like 95 or 6.
00:03:32.81\00:03:34.34
Doug can tell us but it was...
00:03:34.58\00:03:36.14
Yeah, the boss meetings were 97.
00:03:36.14\00:03:38.31
97.
00:03:38.55\00:03:39.08
Wow.
00:03:39.58\00:03:43.82
that point.
00:03:43.82\00:03:46.72
True, right?
00:03:47.02\00:03:47.22
Amazing.
00:03:48.36\00:03:51.83
New York City and again 3ABN
is privileged to help broadcast
00:03:51.83\00:03:55.86
what's going on there.
00:03:55.86\00:03:57.57
Yeah, thanks Greg.
00:03:58.73\00:04:03.47
about this event that's coming
up in a month, well a few weeks
00:04:03.47\00:04:07.41
probably from the time of
broadcast that it's going to be
00:04:07.41\00:04:11.65
Prophecy Odyssey in New York
City, right downtown New York
00:04:11.65\00:04:16.15
City. Things are
going to be pretty exciting.
00:04:16.42\00:04:17.72
It'll be just a few weeks
before the National Presidential
00:04:17.75\00:04:22.09
Election and we'll be
broadcasting 15 evangelistic
00:04:22.09\00:04:28.40
programs from the Manhattan
Center and it'll be going to all
00:04:28.40\00:04:32.03
the world. And I'd like to
just share a quick verse I think
00:04:32.60\00:04:35.24
everyone knows, Matthew 24, 14,
where Jesus said the gospel of
the kingdom will go
00:04:35.30\00:04:40.11
into all the world for a
witness unto the nations, to all
00:04:40.11\00:04:44.05
nations, and then
the end will come.
00:04:44.58\00:04:46.01
And we're going to be using this
new technology that has just
00:04:46.72\00:04:51.19
been refined at the Olympics.
00:04:51.19\00:04:52.39
It's the AI technology where
and we just tested it they'll be
00:04:53.22\00:04:59.46
capturing my voice such as it is
and they can translate as I
preach not broadcast
00:04:59.46\00:05:07.37
the next day but in 60 seconds
after I preach in New York City,
00:05:07.37\00:05:10.87
they'll be translating my voice
into 12 different languages that
00:05:11.37\00:05:16.81
are spoken by 7 out of 8
billion people in the world.
00:05:16.81\00:05:21.05
It's either their
first or second language.
00:05:21.15\00:05:23.02
So it'll be Russian, French,
Spanish, Hindi, Mandarin,
00:05:23.42\00:05:27.56
Portuguese, Swahili, Tagalog and
several others I can't remember.
00:05:27.92\00:05:31.49
So we're really excited and I
know that the devil is concerned
00:05:32.29\00:05:38.27
about this event because we're
getting everybody involved.
00:05:38.27\00:05:42.00
We're very thrilled that 3ABN
is going to be doing the primary
00:05:42.30\00:05:45.94
broadcast in North
America and around the world.
00:05:45.94\00:05:48.41
We'll be joined of
course Amazing Facts.
00:05:49.68\00:05:51.18
We'll carry a secondary
broadcast so people in other
00:05:51.35\00:05:54.92
time zones can carry it.
00:05:54.92\00:05:55.38
But we're inviting people.
00:05:55.98\00:05:57.42
I know even some
of you will be coming.
00:05:57.89\00:05:59.52
We're inviting people to come
to New York City as missionaries
00:06:00.06\00:06:03.63
because we've basically reserved
this huge center, the Manhattan
00:06:03.63\00:06:07.66
Center with the
T2000 all day long.
00:06:07.66\00:06:10.80
During the day we'll do
missionary evangelism training.
00:06:11.60\00:06:14.07
We're going to
give people books.
00:06:14.57\00:06:15.84
Maybe some of the books
you're talking about now.
00:06:16.00\00:06:17.94
And share.
00:06:19.24\00:06:23.91
ministry, evangelism
training in the building.
00:06:23.91\00:06:26.72
And there are hundreds of people
that are going to be hitting the
00:06:27.18\00:06:29.82
streets in Manhattan
during a beautiful time of year.
00:06:29.82\00:06:33.52
And they can then
see some of the sites.
00:06:34.16\00:06:36.36
There's amazing things to see.
00:06:36.59\00:06:37.96
Statue of Liberty,
the Indianapolis and the
00:06:37.96\00:06:42.96
Indianapolis. And then come
to the meetings at night and be
00:06:43.77\00:06:48.34
part of this live
international broadcast.
00:06:48.34\00:06:49.47
So we're just really excited.
00:06:50.44\00:06:52.51
The dates again are
September 20 to October 5.
00:06:52.74\00:06:56.14
All the information is at
the Prophecy Odyssey website.
00:06:56.78\00:07:01.48
That's simply Prophecy Odyssey.
00:07:02.12\00:07:03.72
15 new lessons.
00:07:04.42\00:07:05.45
Any church that's watching can
participate and host the event.
00:07:05.85\00:07:09.92
Any home that gets 3ABN can log
on whether it's live by TV or
00:07:10.49\00:07:16.26
internet.
00:07:16.26\00:07:16.67
They can host the event.
00:07:17.40\00:07:18.23
Everybody can do
evangelism this fall.
00:07:18.53\00:07:20.87
I don't know why
anybody would not want to.
00:07:21.34\00:07:23.77
Amen.
00:07:24.67\00:07:25.24
Thank you so much, Pastor Doug.
00:07:25.37\00:07:26.81
We're privileged to have this
opportunity to partner together
00:07:26.84\00:07:30.45
in taking the
gospel there to the world.
00:07:30.45\00:07:32.01
Excited about what the plans
are and what's taking place.
00:07:32.31\00:07:35.62
Tell us, do you think evangelism
is relevant still today?
00:07:35.68\00:07:39.49
We're in a secular society and
some people say we don't need to
00:07:39.75\00:07:43.86
be preaching.
00:07:43.86\00:07:46.59
Why is it important to still
do evangelistic series like this
00:07:46.86\00:07:50.10
one? You know, I've never found
a time in history when people
00:07:51.10\00:07:53.47
lose interest in
the living Word of God.
00:07:53.47\00:07:55.40
Jesus said the harvest is great.
00:07:56.20\00:07:58.41
The problem is not that
there are no people out there to
00:07:58.51\00:08:01.54
harvest. The problem is
that the laborers are few.
00:08:01.68\00:08:04.05
And that's why we're really
praying that people out there
00:08:04.65\00:08:08.78
will catch the
bug of evangelism.
00:08:08.78\00:08:10.22
There's nothing more exciting
in my mind than seeing a soul go
00:08:10.49\00:08:15.12
from death to life, lost to
found, sick to well, because of
00:08:15.12\00:08:19.49
the power of the gospel.
00:08:19.49\00:08:20.00
And, you know, Jill, one of the
things we're doing, I forgot to
00:08:21.10\00:08:23.40
mention, and we're just
appealing to people to take
00:08:23.40\00:08:29.57
August 31 to make it a special
Sabbath where they will pray for
the Prophecy Odyssey
00:08:29.57\00:08:33.44
event.
00:08:33.44\00:08:38.78
says unless the Lord builds
the house, we labor in vain.
00:08:38.78\00:08:41.45
And we're inviting people to
just put a little note on your
00:08:41.85\00:08:45.69
phone, a little
reminder that'll beep.
00:08:45.69\00:08:47.06
And at one time during the day,
for 20 days, from the 1st of
00:08:47.79\00:08:52.69
September until the 20th, take
a moment, pray for the Prophecy
00:08:52.69\00:08:57.30
Odyssey program. They may
fast and pray, fast a meal, do
00:08:58.33\00:09:02.14
something. But if God's people
and everyone watching, if they
00:09:02.57\00:09:06.27
will invest prayer, I think the
Lord is going to do things that
00:09:06.27\00:09:09.34
we can't even imagine.
00:09:09.34\00:09:09.74
Amen.
00:09:11.11\00:09:11.48
Pastor Doug, we've been, as
we mentioned earlier, working
00:09:12.51\00:09:15.65
together for a long time.
00:09:15.65\00:09:16.69
And, Ivan, one thing I
appreciate about Doug, many
00:09:17.29\00:09:20.92
things, but one is his vision.
00:09:20.92\00:09:21.56
He's never lost his vision.
00:09:21.76\00:09:23.19
I think we started working,
showing his programs that he had
00:09:23.26\00:09:27.23
produced on 3AB
in maybe late 80s.
00:09:27.23\00:09:29.40
I think, Doug, a
long time, 35 plus years.
00:09:29.50\00:09:33.07
And the technology between then
and now, who would have ever
00:09:33.94\00:09:38.27
dreamed it?
00:09:38.27\00:09:43.18
ministry.
00:09:43.18\00:09:49.18
NET series with Mark Finley and
all, we brought 12 translators
00:09:49.18\00:09:53.32
from different countries.
00:09:53.32\00:09:54.26
And they did it right then.
00:09:54.39\00:09:56.46
But it's amazing technology.
00:09:56.59\00:09:57.96
But I think that's all the Lord
is allowing us to this, because
00:09:58.39\00:10:02.06
we're lazy as human beings.
00:10:02.06\00:10:03.23
So he says, okay, I want to come
back and I'm ready to do it.
00:10:03.26\00:10:07.10
And people are setting around.
00:10:07.17\00:10:08.24
But we don't have to now.
00:10:08.27\00:10:09.34
Now we can join hands with you.
00:10:09.34\00:10:11.24
We're going to
be praying for you.
00:10:11.41\00:10:12.74
We're going to be praying
that many, many people show up,
00:10:13.11\00:10:16.95
thousands of people there
to help get this gospel of the
00:10:17.18\00:10:20.78
kingdom into all the world.
00:10:20.78\00:10:24.69
evangelism, that people
need the Lord, it's right now.
00:10:24.69\00:10:27.72
More than ever before.
00:10:27.86\00:10:29.06
Never before in Earth's history
has people been so mixed up.
00:10:29.46\00:10:32.46
A lot of them don't know the
difference between a boy and a
00:10:32.86\00:10:34.76
girl, I always say.
00:10:34.76\00:10:35.86
You know, there's a kind
of condition that we're in.
00:10:35.90\00:10:37.90
But thank you, Doug, and amazing
facts for what you are doing.
00:10:38.33\00:10:41.60
We're praying with you.
00:10:42.07\00:10:43.00
We're supporting you
in every way possible.
00:10:43.07\00:10:45.21
Amen.
00:10:45.84\00:10:49.48
And I know that you and your
team there will also be keeping
00:10:49.61\00:10:52.71
us in prayer.
00:10:52.71\00:10:56.48
for most of the event
helping with the series.
00:10:56.48\00:10:58.95
And so we're just really
excited to work together again.
00:10:59.15\00:11:02.82
And thank you for your support
of this and your participation
00:11:03.02\00:11:07.93
in prayers.
00:11:07.93\00:11:08.43
So Pastor Doug, if someone is
not able to, say, participate in
00:11:09.23\00:11:12.70
one way or the other, but
they're able to give, can they
00:11:12.70\00:11:15.57
go to Prophecy Odyssey as their
way for them to donate and
support this series?
00:11:15.57\00:11:18.01
Yes, I believe there is.
00:11:19.27\00:11:20.61
They can just go to the website.
00:11:21.11\00:11:22.38
Okay, very good.
00:11:22.44\00:11:23.51
And we appreciate that
because New York is not cheap.
00:11:23.71\00:11:26.28
That's a good point.
00:11:28.32\00:11:29.25
Well, before we go, Shelley, why
don't you pray for this series
00:11:29.55\00:11:31.85
that's coming, Pastor Doug.
00:11:31.85\00:11:32.85
Absolutely.
00:11:32.85\00:11:32.89
Our glorious Heavenly Father,
we come before your throne of
00:11:34.19\00:11:38.06
grace, and we lift up, Doug, and
the Amazing Facts team and all
00:11:38.09\00:11:43.87
of the volunteers.
00:11:43.87\00:11:44.67
And Lord, we lift this event.
00:11:45.33\00:11:47.50
We know it will
bring glory to your name.
00:11:47.74\00:11:50.04
So we pray for the Prophecy
Odyssey team, Lord, that you
00:11:50.21\00:11:56.48
would command your
angels concerning them.
00:11:56.48\00:11:58.15
Just put a hedge of
protection around them.
00:11:58.25\00:12:00.58
But we ask in Jesus' name for
your anointing on this series.
00:12:00.82\00:12:06.22
We ask, Lord, that your Holy
Spirit would go in advance to
00:12:06.29\00:12:13.09
motivate people to come out
to this series, if nothing more
00:12:13.09\00:12:17.40
than curiosity.
Let them come to hear.
00:12:17.83\00:12:19.23
But Lord, may they be convinced
as they hear what the Spirit has
00:12:19.77\00:12:24.14
to say.
00:12:24.14\00:12:24.57
Lord, we pray many
lives will be changed.
00:12:25.01\00:12:27.64
We know you're coming soon.
00:12:27.94\00:12:29.38
And thank you for the AI that
can accelerate the distribution
00:12:29.74\00:12:34.62
of these programs.
00:12:34.62\00:12:35.38
We give you the honor,
the glory, and our love.
00:12:35.85\00:12:39.49
In Christ, we pray.
00:12:39.69\00:12:41.02
Amen.
00:12:41.46\00:12:41.62
Amen.
00:12:41.76\00:12:42.02
Thank you, Pastor Doug.
00:12:42.42\00:12:43.36
God bless you.
00:12:43.76\00:12:44.43
Thank you everyone.
00:12:44.53\00:12:45.39
Thank you so much and God bless.
00:12:45.46\00:12:46.76
Thank you, Pastor.
00:12:46.83\00:12:47.60
I like what you said, Mr. Danny,
as far as him not losing the
00:12:49.20\00:12:52.10
vision. He's very visionary.
00:12:52.87\00:12:54.07
And the same for 3ABN.
00:12:54.40\00:12:58.61
Here it is, November of this
year, 40 years since you were
00:12:58.81\00:13:02.34
impressed of the
Lord to start a station.
00:13:02.34\00:13:03.81
Here you are a carpenter and
you said, OK, God, here I am.
00:13:04.21\00:13:07.35
Send me and look
what 3ABN has become.
00:13:07.48\00:13:09.92
And praise the Lord for that.
00:13:10.59\00:13:11.82
And thank you for always
having that vision even now.
00:13:11.92\00:13:15.09
And thank you for your
mentorship of Jill and myself
00:13:15.16\00:13:17.66
because I mean it's key for a
ministry such as Amazing Facts,
00:13:17.66\00:13:21.06
such as 3ABN, to keep that
vision that God has given,
right, and just keep running
00:13:21.06\00:13:23.80
with it.
00:13:23.80\00:13:27.17
deliver this
message is changing.
00:13:27.17\00:13:28.80
Satellite, 10-foot dishes.
00:13:29.40\00:13:30.64
We still kind of, some of that's
used, some of the broadcasts,
00:13:31.11\00:13:33.94
most of it now is internet and
this AI stuff they're talking
00:13:33.94\00:13:37.08
about with languages, 3ABN is
looking into the same stuff to
be able to take this
00:13:37.08\00:13:40.78
message that reaches the world
and put it into languages that
00:13:40.78\00:13:43.89
will reach even more people.
00:13:43.89\00:13:45.52
Just incredible
times we live in.
00:13:45.89\00:13:47.32
What an exciting time to
be alive, right, Dr. Yvonne?
00:13:47.42\00:13:49.69
I get so excited.
00:13:49.69\00:13:50.56
You're about to
burst over there.
00:13:50.56\00:13:51.86
I get so excited when I hear
that AI is being used to get the
00:13:52.46\00:13:57.03
gospel to the world because some
people are really kind of afraid
00:13:57.03\00:14:01.04
of AI. There's a
lot to be afraid of.
00:14:01.04\00:14:02.97
Well, there is.
00:14:03.37\00:14:03.81
No, there is.
00:14:03.97\00:14:08.81
just like anything else, it can
be used for God's glory or it
00:14:08.81\00:14:12.51
can be used for the devil.
00:14:12.51\00:14:13.58
And this is, we're using it to
get the Word to the world, just
00:14:13.85\00:14:19.22
like that.
00:14:19.22\00:14:23.79
necessarily you guys, the
Adventists who had televisions
00:14:23.79\00:14:27.30
when their pastor come to visit,
they would roll it in the closet
00:14:27.30\00:14:30.40
and shut the door.
00:14:30.40\00:14:31.23
Because, oh yeah, I
know people who did that.
00:14:32.30\00:14:34.87
We were too poor to have a
TV until I was a little older.
00:14:35.27\00:14:38.24
But I know people that we'd
go visit and watch Gunsmoke or
00:14:38.81\00:14:42.44
something.
00:14:42.44\00:14:42.74
That is incredible.
00:14:43.08\00:14:43.95
But back then,
television was a bad thing.
00:14:44.41\00:14:47.35
And yet, it's like we
weren't taking advantage of it.
00:14:47.82\00:14:50.09
We wanted to look at
it and say, it's bad.
00:14:50.12\00:14:52.15
So it seemed like sometimes
Christians were always behind,
00:14:52.32\00:14:55.26
running behind everybody else.
00:14:56.29\00:14:57.99
In this case,
no, it's available.
00:14:58.03\00:15:00.20
Let's use what's good.
00:15:00.60\00:15:01.70
Forget what's bad.
00:15:02.13\00:15:03.00
And so, as you were talking
earlier, Doug is still, I'm
00:15:04.00\00:15:07.90
going to use the word succeeding
and amazing facts in evangelism.
00:15:07.90\00:15:11.34
And so is 3ABN because we have
learned, the one thing we've
00:15:12.24\00:15:16.54
learned is literally, the
emphasis has to be, the whole
00:15:16.54\00:15:22.25
mission has to be evangelism.
00:15:22.25\00:15:23.52
It's on the message.
00:15:23.59\00:15:24.69
And the message can't change.
00:15:24.69\00:15:26.55
So the very message that
the Lord gave us, that's in the
00:15:27.02\00:15:31.56
Bible, that we as a church
started back in the 1840s, 50s,
60s, that message can't
00:15:31.56\00:15:36.16
change.
00:15:36.16\00:15:40.20
saying, well, no, I don't really
think it means this anymore.
00:15:40.20\00:15:42.74
Well, we need to
re-look at LGBTQ.
00:15:43.07\00:15:45.57
We need to re-look at
abortion, all of these things.
00:15:45.74\00:15:48.98
And those, God won't bless that.
00:15:49.48\00:15:51.51
So, as long as we keep the
message straight, it's not the
00:15:51.85\00:15:55.72
messenger. Doug's not important.
00:15:55.82\00:15:56.79
None of us here are important.
00:15:57.19\00:15:58.42
It's the message
that's important.
00:15:58.69\00:16:00.39
And we have to keep, continue
focusing on that message in a
00:16:00.79\00:16:05.63
bit. Speaking of that, we'll be
talking about Shelly's book, who
00:16:05.66\00:16:08.70
keeps focused on the mission and
message that the world needs to
00:16:08.70\00:16:12.63
hear today. I just
have to say one thing.
00:16:12.90\00:16:14.17
I was, Jenny and I were
interviewing someone the other
00:16:14.30\00:16:17.14
day. We were talking about
legacy and how that is part of
00:16:17.17\00:16:21.91
the Bible is leaving legacy.
00:16:21.91\00:16:22.84
You've been on my
mind constantly since that
00:16:23.21\00:16:26.15
conversation. The Bible says
that God gives us all a measure
of faith, but it also
00:16:26.61\00:16:31.05
says that one of the gifts
of the Holy Spirit is faith.
00:16:31.05\00:16:35.32
And I believe with all of my
heart that God gave you the gift
00:16:35.49\00:16:40.76
of faith because what you did,
what God did through you, just
00:16:40.76\00:16:46.47
answering the call to do what
you did, you're leaving, you
00:16:46.47\00:16:51.01
know, the legacy.
It's God's legacy.
00:16:51.34\00:16:52.64
But it's like, I remember
when you were having your heart
00:16:53.17\00:16:57.68
surgery and you said, I've got
good people in place that can,
00:16:57.68\00:17:01.72
you know, that
are handling this.
00:17:01.72\00:17:02.32
I'm ready to go if God's ready.
00:17:02.82\00:17:05.12
And I thought, what an amazing
thing to think back on your
00:17:05.49\00:17:09.19
life, how God has worked
through you is amazing, Danny.
00:17:09.22\00:17:12.76
It really is.
00:17:13.16\00:17:13.93
It's incredible.
00:17:13.93\00:17:14.76
I agree with Michelle.
00:17:14.76\00:17:16.16
Shortcomings that we all have.
00:17:16.97\00:17:18.67
So we're not saying that,
but that's the beauty of it.
00:17:18.73\00:17:21.04
God's willing to
use frail human agents.
00:17:21.07\00:17:23.64
And even though we mess up from
time to time, we come back and
00:17:23.67\00:17:27.21
confess it to the Lord.
00:17:27.21\00:17:28.01
He'll continue.
00:17:28.11\00:17:28.88
He forgives and forgets,
but he continues to bless.
00:17:29.18\00:17:32.15
And it is God because it was in
my ignorance, human ignorance,
00:17:32.15\00:17:32.18
that I went forward because
I found out only a little later
00:17:38.85\00:17:42.52
that everybody but me, you know,
and my family, Kenny, whoever,
00:17:42.52\00:17:47.40
everybody but us,
that it wouldn't work.
00:17:47.50\00:17:48.30
But it never
occurred to me one time.
00:17:49.20\00:17:51.80
I can promise you it never
occurred to me one time from the
00:17:52.17\00:17:55.14
night November 14th, 1984, when
I got the impression I wanted
00:17:55.14\00:17:59.54
you to build a television
station to reach the world with
00:17:59.54\00:18:03.01
an undiluted Three Angels
messages, one that would
counteract and counterfeit.
00:18:03.01\00:18:06.01
Never once did I ever doubt
that that was going to happen.
00:18:06.31\00:18:09.05
I had no idea how, but now I
look back and it's like I didn't
00:18:09.55\00:18:14.06
even worry about it, like I
wasn't worried what was going
00:18:14.06\00:18:16.52
on. I would go to church.
00:18:16.52\00:18:17.63
I got cut off because
Melody and me were singing.
00:18:17.99\00:18:21.43
Her mother had been killed
in an automobile accident.
00:18:21.90\00:18:24.20
And right after I was impressed
to build a station, I would up
00:18:24.40\00:18:27.77
in front start saying, the
Lord's impressed us to build TV
00:18:27.77\00:18:30.81
stations. I remember Pastor
literally in the back of the
audience stand up going
00:18:30.97\00:18:34.31
like this.
00:18:34.31\00:18:35.51
And I said, either he's hot, his
neck tight, his head down like
00:18:35.51\00:18:40.88
this.
00:18:40.88\00:18:44.75
break.
00:18:44.75\00:18:46.12
They took a break.
00:18:46.15\00:18:47.02
And so did an offering
or whatever they were doing.
00:18:47.72\00:18:51.46
And so he said, look, don't be
getting up here telling people
00:18:51.63\00:18:55.33
stuff like that.
00:18:55.33\00:18:56.13
And I said, like what?
00:18:56.16\00:18:57.67
He said, there's no way
this is ever going to happen.
00:18:57.70\00:18:59.90
He said, I hate to bake you bad
news, but I don't want my people
00:19:00.04\00:19:02.67
falling into line to something
given, supporting, being
00:19:03.47\00:19:07.01
confused. Please stop telling
people what you're going to be
00:19:07.48\00:19:11.38
doing, build a
station, reach the world.
00:19:11.38\00:19:12.31
If it could be done,
we'd already done it.
00:19:12.35\00:19:13.95
The media center
would have done it.
00:19:13.98\00:19:15.42
And so even that, as I think
back, it never discouraged me.
00:19:15.68\00:19:20.22
I just thought,
what's wrong with him?
00:19:20.22\00:19:20.26
You were walking in your purpose
and God had spoken to you.
00:19:22.06\00:19:27.10
The only time that I ever
wondered, could understand why
00:19:27.56\00:19:31.70
people doubted, was several
years ago, K Kuzma gave me a
00:19:31.70\00:19:36.84
tape that at Big Sky, Montana,
in 1985, when they asked me,
well it wasn't supposed
00:19:36.84\00:19:42.18
to, but it was raining and they
had all these people and they
00:19:42.18\00:19:45.75
were supposed to go on
ski lift rides at National ASI
00:19:45.75\00:19:49.72
Convention. Only probably 250
people at most at that time in
00:19:50.02\00:19:54.46
ASI. And because it was raining
and what have you, they had
00:19:54.79\00:19:57.79
people. So finally they asked
me, which they'd been hearing
00:19:57.99\00:20:01.06
about my story, from Rosella
McAlpin and I told my young K
Kuzma, they asked me, so I
00:20:02.26\00:20:08.20
got up and spoke for about 20
minutes, 30 minutes about what
00:20:08.20\00:20:13.24
the Lord impressed me to do.
00:20:13.24\00:20:14.41
She sent that to me 30 years
later, what have you, and I
00:20:14.88\00:20:18.58
listened to it and I said, I
wouldn't have given him a penny.
00:20:18.58\00:20:20.72
When I listened to that guy,
that's ridiculous, you know, and
00:20:21.32\00:20:24.42
just the way I talked, the way I
sounded, I was definitely a hick
00:20:24.42\00:20:27.69
from the sticks.
00:20:27.69\00:20:31.66
now.
00:20:31.66\00:20:33.60
And then just talk about, you
know, what do you do, but we're
00:20:34.23\00:20:39.00
going to build a
station to reach the world.
00:20:39.00\00:20:40.44
I literally, that's the first
time I listened to it and I
00:20:40.90\00:20:43.94
thought, and people gave anyway.
00:20:43.94\00:20:44.87
It had to have been the Lord.
00:20:45.34\00:20:46.51
So what it is, is God allows,
and that's my prayer every time
00:20:47.28\00:20:51.58
I get up.
00:20:51.58\00:20:54.85
and say, oh,
that's not my calling.
00:20:54.85\00:20:57.29
Just say, Lord, let the people
hear what you want them to hear,
00:20:57.79\00:21:00.82
not what I say.
00:21:00.82\00:21:01.56
And so other words, so I feel
like I just get up and make an
00:21:02.42\00:21:05.93
effort and then God blesses.
00:21:05.93\00:21:07.03
If somebody wants to
hear truth, they hear it.
00:21:07.20\00:21:08.90
If they don't, you can't
make them hear it anyway, right?
00:21:08.90\00:21:12.47
They reject it anyway.
00:21:12.57\00:21:13.94
So no, it's a blessing.
00:21:14.74\00:21:15.80
And I think faith is a gift.
00:21:16.44\00:21:18.64
And in this case, it's a gift
that hadn't, and I can honestly
00:21:19.17\00:21:23.95
say, had nothing to do with me.
00:21:23.95\00:21:25.31
Other words, it
was the right time.
00:21:25.55\00:21:28.08
God knew He would be willing
to go forward, and that's really
00:21:28.48\00:21:31.55
all He wants today, is you
knowing that you're willing to
00:21:31.55\00:21:36.73
go forward if He calls you
whatever He calls you to do.
00:21:36.73\00:21:38.33
And the blessing is on the go.
00:21:38.49\00:21:40.80
Every one of us here have
the same God has called us to do
00:21:41.83\00:21:46.87
something. You from Texas, you
guys from Virginia, originally
00:21:47.07\00:21:50.81
the East, Northeast, and so you
from New York, and yet, and then
00:21:51.64\00:21:55.38
all the folk that are here from
around the world, we have people
00:21:55.38\00:21:58.51
from different countries and
then have studios and facilities
00:21:58.51\00:22:03.42
in different
countries around the world.
00:22:03.42\00:22:04.72
And it's all people
who's just said yes.
00:22:05.55\00:22:07.79
Amen.
00:22:08.39\00:22:09.46
But He said, go ye
into all the world.
00:22:09.79\00:22:11.39
Amen.
00:22:11.83\00:22:15.30
raise up the ministry of 3ABN.
00:22:15.30\00:22:17.10
Speaking of people that God
uses, Shelly Quinn, she is who I
00:22:17.40\00:22:21.37
call the Covenant Queen.
00:22:21.37\00:22:22.24
I think nobody has, this
is Jill's opinion, but I don't
00:22:23.20\00:22:27.08
think anybody has as good a
grasp of the covenant as you do.
00:22:27.08\00:22:32.78
God has led you on an
intensive study from Genesis to
00:22:33.01\00:22:37.32
Revelation, finding that
theme of righteousness by faith.
00:22:37.49\00:22:40.39
I know that we had sponsors who
sponsored the printing of the
00:22:40.89\00:22:46.03
first run, you
can say, of this book.
00:22:46.03\00:22:48.03
How many books did we
print in the first run?
00:22:48.13\00:22:49.76
52,000.
00:22:50.33\00:22:51.40
52,000.
00:22:51.40\00:22:54.80
We were able to pass these books
out for just the cost of the
00:22:54.97\00:22:58.31
shipping because the printing
was sponsored, and those books
00:22:58.31\00:23:02.21
are almost completely out,
and we are getting ready for
00:23:02.21\00:23:05.85
printing number two.
00:23:05.85\00:23:08.65
And the response, Shelly, has
been incredible to this book.
00:23:09.02\00:23:12.02
It has, and I have to just say,
if you don't understand covenant
00:23:12.55\00:23:18.09
relationship, the only way
you can be saved is to be in
00:23:18.09\00:23:22.66
covenant relationship, to
be made righteous by faith.
00:23:22.66\00:23:25.40
Wait a minute, I
can't work myself into...
00:23:25.43\00:23:27.37
You can't work your way into it,
but there is a series that we
00:23:27.37\00:23:33.68
run on 3ABN, and it's on YouTube
and others, and it is, the
00:23:33.68\00:23:39.15
series is called Spotless, the
everlasting covenant, and it's
00:23:39.15\00:23:43.59
generally speaking really close
to the narrative of the book,
00:23:43.59\00:23:48.89
but I have to tell you, when
you're talking about purpose for
00:23:48.89\00:23:53.70
your life, I know this
was the purpose for my life.
00:23:53.70\00:23:55.53
I really do.
00:23:55.63\00:23:56.70
God gave me the book title five
years before I sat down to write
00:23:56.90\00:24:02.07
it, and if you don't understand
what the everlasting covenant
00:24:02.07\00:24:06.14
is, let me just kind
of summarize it for you.
00:24:06.57\00:24:09.14
In Revelation 13 8, it says that
Jesus is the lamb who was slain
00:24:09.44\00:24:16.12
from the
foundation of the world.
00:24:16.12\00:24:17.82
In Hebrews 13 20, it says that
his blood is the blood of the
00:24:18.35\00:24:23.26
everlasting covenant.
00:24:23.26\00:24:24.69
1 Peter 1, 18, and 19 says
we are not saved with silver and
00:24:25.23\00:24:31.97
gold and those kind of things,
but with the precious blood of
00:24:31.97\00:24:37.44
Jesus Christ as a lamb without
spot or blemish, and the whole
goal of the everlasting
00:24:37.44\00:24:43.65
covenant is summed up
in 2 Corinthians 5, 21.
00:24:43.65\00:24:48.52
I call it the great exchange.
00:24:48.82\00:24:51.29
He made him who knew no sin
to be sin for us that we might
00:24:51.62\00:24:58.09
become the righteousness
of God in Christ Jesus.
00:24:58.09\00:25:00.40
This book will help people see,
and boy I'll tell you, I give
00:25:00.93\00:25:07.64
God all the glory.
00:25:07.64\00:25:11.87
book, the Holy Spirit
did, and I said, you're right.
00:25:11.87\00:25:14.11
It's all Bible.
00:25:14.51\00:25:15.58
There's no other, there's
nothing else in here from
00:25:15.94\00:25:21.55
commentators. It's just
paraphrased, but then there's
plenty of other scriptures,
00:25:23.62\00:25:27.72
but all the
references are in this.
00:25:27.82\00:25:29.99
The book is timely.
00:25:30.63\00:25:31.66
The reason it's timely, when
you look at the condition of the
00:25:32.36\00:25:35.46
church, it's no accident, it was
no accident the Lord called, we
00:25:35.46\00:25:39.60
talked about 3A being 1984, it's
no accident, God called you to
00:25:39.60\00:25:43.64
write this book.
00:25:43.64\00:25:44.47
All you have to do is go
and play like social media,
00:25:45.07\00:25:50.48
Facebook, what have you, you see
Christian, fighting Christian,
00:25:50.48\00:25:54.12
arguing over Christian, arguing
over politics, people talking
00:25:54.12\00:25:57.72
about working themselves into
heaven, if you don't live like I
00:25:57.72\00:26:02.39
do, you can't be saved.
00:26:02.39\00:26:03.06
I've literally seen people
on Facebook put, if you go to
00:26:03.76\00:26:08.00
church Sunday, you're not
Christian, I mean really
ridiculous stuff and
00:26:08.00\00:26:11.93
you think, these people
think they're going to be saved
00:26:11.93\00:26:14.54
because they're keeping a day or
what have you, they don't have
00:26:14.54\00:26:18.14
that covenant relationship.
00:26:18.14\00:26:19.07
The book has been that's what
God has called you to do because
00:26:20.01\00:26:23.98
she and I, she can speak for
herself, but we've been talking
00:26:23.98\00:26:28.25
about the same thing, the
everlasting gospel, and she
says, I've got a burden
00:26:28.25\00:26:31.99
that this is what I've got to be
doing, we should be doing, and
00:26:31.99\00:26:36.93
we're so confused, the
revelation says, and the whole
00:26:36.93\00:26:41.66
world wandered after the beast,
it didn't say all, every whole
world, but me and you,
00:26:41.66\00:26:45.37
or me and you, it says the whole
world, so the devil is out to
00:26:46.20\00:26:50.01
deceive the whole world and so
therefore right now, we can have
00:26:50.01\00:26:53.84
all the truth in the world, but
if we don't have that covenant
00:26:53.84\00:26:56.98
relationship with Jesus, it's
all in vain, in fact we're going
00:26:56.98\00:27:00.62
to turn people away from
the gospel, away from the truth,
00:27:00.62\00:27:05.09
thinking that and
we don't have that.
00:27:05.09\00:27:08.09
And the church is in a mess
right now as I spoke about last
00:27:08.92\00:27:12.29
camp meeting.
00:27:12.29\00:27:14.36
Which means God's
got a great work to do.
00:27:14.83\00:27:16.93
But Shelly, the book
is just at the right time.
00:27:17.10\00:27:20.04
And that's why we're not only
suggesting, but trying to do it
00:27:20.30\00:27:24.87
at 3ABN every way we can do,
including raise the finances so
00:27:24.87\00:27:29.34
people don't have to
worry about buying it.
00:27:29.34\00:27:30.51
This is a thick book.
00:27:30.51\00:27:31.51
That's not a little
like our little 48 page ones.
00:27:31.71\00:27:34.52
And this cost a lot of
money, but it's life changing.
00:27:34.58\00:27:37.29
You know what?
00:27:38.72\00:27:42.99
there would be no liberals
and there would be no legalist.
00:27:43.16\00:27:46.70
We would learn that we
can't earn our way to heaven.
00:27:46.96\00:27:49.56
But also you learn that
God, when we enter into covenant
00:27:49.66\00:27:54.47
relationship, he's the covenant
maker and the covenant keeper.
00:27:54.47\00:27:58.54
But he calls us in and he
expects us to be motivated by
00:27:58.87\00:28:06.92
love to obey him
and walk in loyalty.
00:28:06.92\00:28:08.28
People are so afraid sometimes
of the word grace, but it's
00:28:08.55\00:28:13.05
because some people
make grace a license to sin.
00:28:13.05\00:28:15.72
Please understand, Jesus didn't
die on the cross for you so that
00:28:16.26\00:28:21.46
you could live like the devil.
00:28:21.46\00:28:22.66
And when we see that
righteousness by faith has
always been the only
00:28:23.63\00:28:30.71
way God has saved people.
00:28:30.71\00:28:32.34
Because once you're unrighteous,
you cannot make yourself
00:28:32.97\00:28:36.78
righteous again.
00:28:36.78\00:28:37.28
I mean, our righteousness is
as filthy rags before the Lord.
00:28:37.98\00:28:41.98
I know you got some comments
about it too since you read the
00:28:42.48\00:28:44.95
book. Oh, I do.
00:28:44.95\00:28:46.02
I do.
00:28:46.02\00:28:46.45
So we have been talking a
lot about the gospel and the
00:28:47.49\00:28:53.66
relationship.
It's not about rules.
00:28:53.76\00:28:55.20
There's so many
people just hung up on rules.
00:28:55.36\00:28:58.13
It's not the rules.
00:28:58.33\00:29:00.24
The obedience is an outgrowth
of the love that you have, the
00:29:00.37\00:29:05.81
appreciation for what
Christ has done and the gospel.
00:29:05.81\00:29:10.18
We just have to know the true
gospel, which is Jesus came as a
00:29:11.05\00:29:17.39
propitiation, as a substitute.
00:29:17.39\00:29:19.42
He is our substitute.
00:29:20.49\00:29:22.26
And so we have
his righteousness.
00:29:22.39\00:29:24.83
We have no
righteousness of our own.
00:29:24.99\00:29:27.00
None.
00:29:28.06\00:29:31.90
righteous.
00:29:31.90\00:29:32.50
No, we have no
righteousness of our own.
00:29:32.77\00:29:34.97
It all comes from him.
00:29:34.97\00:29:36.87
And once we realize that and
appreciate that, that's where
00:29:37.17\00:29:44.25
the obedience comes in.
00:29:44.25\00:29:46.18
Obedience is not legalism.
00:29:46.38\00:29:48.18
It's love.
00:29:48.35\00:29:49.08
Exactly.
00:29:49.35\00:29:49.95
That's what it's all about.
00:29:50.59\00:29:51.55
Some people think it
is legalism, but it's not.
00:29:51.59\00:29:53.15
That's right.
00:29:53.22\00:29:54.02
It's not legalism.
00:29:54.19\00:29:55.36
It's love.
00:29:55.69\00:29:56.39
So anyway, I'm glad that God has
patience with all of us because
00:29:57.16\00:30:01.33
I've been in what I
talked about before.
00:30:01.33\00:30:03.77
I've been part of it.
00:30:03.90\00:30:05.17
I've been part of spiritual
arrogance because you feel like
00:30:05.17\00:30:08.17
you have the truth
and other people don't.
00:30:08.17\00:30:10.01
So sometimes we're
not even kind about it.
00:30:10.21\00:30:12.64
And I've said in the past, well,
I want to love them enough to
00:30:13.51\00:30:16.61
tell them the truth.
00:30:16.61\00:30:17.25
Well, I do want to do that.
00:30:17.25\00:30:18.55
But at the time I wasn't really
didn't have that relationship
00:30:18.55\00:30:18.58
that I thought I had and
see that I'm still growing every
00:30:21.95\00:30:26.02
day. So it's important that
we understand who we are and who
00:30:26.09\00:30:29.76
God is and that what truth
we have, we do give it in love.
00:30:29.76\00:30:34.66
And we understand it because
people don't want to hear if I'm
00:30:34.66\00:30:38.87
outside on the street begging
for funds and if somebody did,
00:30:38.87\00:30:43.67
then nobody's going to want me
to come and tell them how to be
00:30:43.67\00:30:46.11
a financial, you know, financial
with so people see us as we are.
00:30:46.11\00:30:52.31
They see us as we're out
here on the side and legalists.
00:30:52.41\00:30:55.48
Well, oh, don't
you can't whatever.
00:30:55.48\00:30:57.15
And then we want to tell you
about a relationship with Jesus.
00:30:57.32\00:30:59.92
You know, you just name call me
because I don't keep, I just met
00:30:59.92\00:31:04.26
just the other night.
00:31:04.26\00:31:05.19
We were somewhere.
00:31:05.36\00:31:09.60
there in St. Charles, Missouri,
the first person in the gates.
00:31:09.60\00:31:12.73
We went and come
over a big tall guy.
00:31:12.90\00:31:14.50
And he said, man, Danny Shelton,
then in the bond was here.
00:31:14.50\00:31:18.01
He said, oh, I'm so
glad to meet you guys.
00:31:18.11\00:31:19.61
I've been watching
three ABN for a long time.
00:31:19.64\00:31:21.74
And he said, I'm still a Sunday
keeper, but he said, I'm still a
00:31:21.74\00:31:25.28
Sunday keeper, but I
love your prophecy programs.
00:31:25.28\00:31:27.48
And I'm what I
said, praise the Lord.
00:31:27.55\00:31:29.28
We're brothers.
00:31:29.45\00:31:29.92
We're brothers in the Lord.
00:31:30.25\00:31:31.39
You know, can I say this?
00:31:31.72\00:31:33.76
When you were talking
about that, that knowledge.
00:31:33.82\00:31:37.43
Oh, well, here's the point.
00:31:37.43\00:31:39.13
Pharisees had
the knowledge here.
00:31:40.33\00:31:42.56
It was a little misconstrued,
obviously, but it was not in
00:31:43.16\00:31:47.54
their heart to
have that relationship.
00:31:47.54\00:31:48.74
And you know what?
00:31:49.54\00:31:50.21
The Pharisees
were very exclusive.
00:31:50.31\00:31:52.31
God is, he just keeps bringing
this back to me when I'm praying
00:31:52.47\00:31:58.15
and studying.
00:31:58.15\00:32:01.78
We're like walled in.
00:32:02.02\00:32:03.28
We've got all of these
walled in denominations.
00:32:03.35\00:32:06.12
We're brothers.
00:32:06.79\00:32:13.56
church?
00:32:13.56\00:32:17.17
You may be a Methodist.
00:32:17.57\00:32:19.17
I'm your sister.
00:32:19.23\00:32:20.34
If you've got a relationship
with Christ, I'm your sister.
00:32:20.47\00:32:24.01
We shouldn't be putting off.
00:32:24.34\00:32:27.11
We shouldn't be casting off.
00:32:27.24\00:32:28.44
You know, and by the way, God
didn't call, he called us to be
00:32:28.44\00:32:28.48
fishers of men, not
the cleaners of the fish.
00:32:33.38\00:32:35.75
Yeah, that's right.
00:32:35.75\00:32:36.69
Oh, that's good.
00:32:37.19\00:32:37.69
Okay, I'll shut up.
00:32:37.69\00:32:41.72
center is open tonight and you
can sponsor the printing of this
00:32:41.72\00:32:47.36
book. We want to get a 40 foot
container over, which is 54,600
00:32:47.56\00:32:54.10
books and the cost
is just under $2 a book.
00:32:54.10\00:32:56.04
So for just about $100,000, we
can sponsor the next printing of
00:32:56.04\00:33:01.98
this. So you can call us
right now at 618 -627-4651.
00:33:02.04\00:33:08.82
That's 618-627-4651.
00:33:09.22\00:33:12.99
The call center is open and
you can say, yes, I want to help
00:33:13.09\00:33:16.86
support this project.
00:33:16.86\00:33:18.16
This message of righteousness by
faith to go out around the world
00:33:18.16\00:33:23.87
so that people can order cases
and they can send them out with
00:33:23.87\00:33:28.20
just the cost of shipping.
00:33:28.20\00:33:29.04
So right now we're seeking
sponsorship for the printing of
00:33:29.37\00:33:33.14
this book for
the second printing.
00:33:33.14\00:33:34.31
So you can call us
or you can go online.
00:33:34.38\00:33:36.14
3ABN.TV.
00:33:38.11\00:33:39.15
That's 3ABN.TV and
the fun code is 317.
00:33:39.88\00:33:44.59
It's spotless.
00:33:45.09\00:33:50.53
way as well.
00:33:50.53\00:33:51.23
And also checks.
00:33:51.43\00:33:55.20
in the memo line.
00:33:55.20\00:33:59.17
We'll put it directly toward the
printing of the second edition.
00:33:59.23\00:34:02.30
And the second order is
also the publisher took it upon
00:34:02.30\00:34:08.54
themselves to translate it into
Spanish because they think this
00:34:08.54\00:34:12.65
needs to go all over the world.
00:34:12.65\00:34:13.65
So the second order will be a
combination of Spanish books and
00:34:13.98\00:34:18.35
English books.
00:34:18.35\00:34:23.93
I'm bound at home.
00:34:24.03\00:34:25.26
I don't really have the health.
00:34:25.29\00:34:26.39
I can't go out door to door.
00:34:26.56\00:34:28.43
I can't go out and witnessing.
00:34:28.53\00:34:29.66
I can do whatever.
00:34:29.83\00:34:30.57
But you can.
00:34:30.70\00:34:31.50
You can help.
00:34:31.50\00:34:36.94
beautiful book that we give
God the credit for that he used
00:34:36.94\00:34:40.91
Shelly to do.
00:34:40.91\00:34:41.24
But Lord the Holy Spirit.
00:34:41.54\00:34:42.48
He gets all the credit.
00:34:42.84\00:34:43.78
Absolutely.
00:34:44.31\00:34:44.78
So you can help.
00:34:45.05\00:34:46.25
And so we want you to pray and
ask the Lord what he would have
00:34:46.51\00:34:50.12
you to do.
00:34:50.12\00:34:50.55
As you said, so we're
looking at 54 ,000 books.
00:34:51.09\00:34:54.49
So they're under two dollars.
00:34:54.56\00:34:55.66
So ten dollars.
00:34:55.76\00:34:56.49
You've got nearly five of these.
00:34:56.59\00:34:57.99
A hundred dollars.
00:34:58.26\00:34:59.03
I mean, look at this.
00:34:59.13\00:35:03.63
and we've had it happen before.
00:35:03.63\00:35:05.20
It's why I say it may say, well,
we'll give twenty five thousand.
00:35:05.33\00:35:07.64
We'll get half of that
and you all raise the other.
00:35:07.70\00:35:10.14
So whatever or if it's ten
dollars, five dollars, it still
00:35:10.14\00:35:15.01
helps when we put
all those together.
00:35:15.01\00:35:16.41
Does this book has to continue
to go out because what we need
00:35:16.41\00:35:21.82
right now in this church to take
the gospel into all the world,
00:35:21.82\00:35:25.72
if we are indeed a remnant
church, is we need to be able to
00:35:25.72\00:35:30.66
to know who we're trying to.
00:35:30.66\00:35:31.76
If we were in the secular
market, we'd say who we're
00:35:32.39\00:35:35.76
trying to sell. So
you've got to know your market.
00:35:36.30\00:35:37.63
Other words, who
you're trying to reach.
00:35:37.70\00:35:39.63
People that need Jesus.
00:35:39.67\00:35:40.90
Well, if you don't have Jesus
in your life and have a personal
00:35:41.00\00:35:44.31
relationship with him, then it's
hard to convince somebody else
00:35:44.31\00:35:48.34
because they look at us and say,
well, why would I want what you
00:35:48.34\00:35:51.41
have?
00:35:51.41\00:35:51.71
You know, not at all.
00:35:52.51\00:35:53.62
So this book will help us.
00:35:53.62\00:35:56.08
And I think we can separate
as she said, you know, we've got
00:35:56.08\00:35:58.92
liberalism over
here, legalism over here.
00:35:58.92\00:36:01.32
And so the devil doesn't care as
we always say, which side of the
00:36:01.69\00:36:05.09
boat you fall out,
as long as you fall out.
00:36:05.09\00:36:07.20
That's right.
00:36:07.23\00:36:07.83
And so this is helping us.
00:36:07.86\00:36:08.96
And so, Yvonne and me,
we've been doing a lot of study
00:36:09.23\00:36:12.67
ourselves because
we say we want to be.
00:36:12.67\00:36:14.74
We want to love people.
00:36:15.00\00:36:16.40
And so we had guests come here
and and then people get upset
00:36:16.60\00:36:21.01
and say, oh, well, you had
somebody on and they don't even
00:36:21.08\00:36:23.61
believe it. Exactly
like I do or whatever.
00:36:23.61\00:36:25.48
And then they're
really unkind to the people.
00:36:25.58\00:36:27.52
And it's like, you
know, I don't get it.
00:36:27.65\00:36:29.95
But then the interesting
thing is the people that they're
00:36:30.45\00:36:33.79
saying those things about
are probably truer Christians.
00:36:33.79\00:36:36.16
And they are.
00:36:36.46\00:36:36.93
Yeah.
00:36:36.93\00:36:36.96
Go ahead.
00:36:41.06\00:36:41.86
No, I just feel like the message
of righteousness by faith must
00:36:42.36\00:36:47.64
be preached.
00:36:47.64\00:36:48.07
It must be preached.
00:36:48.87\00:36:50.27
And the appreciation
again of Jesus Christ must be.
00:36:50.27\00:36:54.41
I think that many people don't
have assurance of salvation.
00:36:54.98\00:36:59.08
And so there it's always
as am I going to be saved?
00:36:59.75\00:37:02.42
If we are in relationship
with Christ, we can't be lost.
00:37:03.15\00:37:07.62
That's if we're in a
relationship with him and we're
00:37:08.39\00:37:12.63
following him, we abide in him.
00:37:12.69\00:37:14.60
We can't nothing can
pluck us from his hand.
00:37:14.86\00:37:17.20
And it's not complicated.
00:37:17.20\00:37:18.77
It just requires consistency.
00:37:18.77\00:37:20.60
That's a good point.
00:37:21.67\00:37:22.77
About 35, 40 years ago, I wrote
a little song and didn't think
00:37:23.00\00:37:28.81
much about it.
00:37:28.81\00:37:29.41
It was titled I Am Saved.
00:37:29.41\00:37:30.88
It was a little kind of
up tempo, a little fast.
00:37:30.98\00:37:32.81
I'm saved.
00:37:33.01\00:37:33.62
I went to some
churches and people were upset.
00:37:34.05\00:37:36.12
They say you should not be
saying that that you're, you
00:37:36.35\00:37:39.85
know, writing.
00:37:39.85\00:37:40.16
I am saved.
00:37:40.52\00:37:41.19
I'm saved.
00:37:41.32\00:37:45.49
way, as I said, well, the way
I said I only have two choices.
00:37:45.49\00:37:49.43
So I asked them, I say, one
preacher asked, I said, So are
00:37:49.76\00:37:53.57
you saved or you lost?
00:37:53.57\00:37:54.47
So you're either saved or lost.
00:37:56.34\00:37:58.11
I mean, if I write a song, you
want me to write one says I'm
00:37:58.27\00:38:01.41
lost. I'm lost.
00:38:01.61\00:38:01.98
You want me to say one
says it's one or the other.
00:38:02.64\00:38:06.28
So why can't I say that?
00:38:06.31\00:38:07.85
Well, you know, people get
this false security that I said,
00:38:08.15\00:38:11.75
we're not talking
about false security.
00:38:11.75\00:38:13.05
We're talking about
relationship with the Lord.
00:38:13.15\00:38:15.59
So if Jesus comes,
I'm either saved or lost.
00:38:15.59\00:38:17.99
So I can't just, there's no, I
don't believe in purgatory where
00:38:18.36\00:38:21.53
we're hanging in between.
00:38:21.53\00:38:23.13
And I get it.
00:38:23.30\00:38:24.23
I understand.
00:38:24.27\00:38:28.34
I want to do.
00:38:28.34\00:38:32.44
about the security to know that
Jesus shed His blood for us and
00:38:32.44\00:38:38.18
it's not in vain.
00:38:38.18\00:38:39.25
That's right.
00:38:39.28\00:38:43.65
we're saved not because of
ourselves, but because of Him.
00:38:43.65\00:38:47.19
Could I, the
scripture, first John 5 11.
00:38:47.69\00:38:50.86
This is the testimony that
God has given us eternal life.
00:38:50.99\00:38:54.30
This life is in His son.
00:38:54.66\00:38:56.67
That's right.
00:38:56.67\00:38:57.40
Verse 12, He who
has the son has life.
00:38:57.50\00:39:00.87
You have eternal life.
00:39:00.90\00:39:02.37
You're saved.
00:39:02.67\00:39:03.10
He who does not have
the son does not have life.
00:39:03.74\00:39:06.41
That's why it's so important to
be in relationship, to abide, to
00:39:06.47\00:39:12.01
dwell in Him.
00:39:12.01\00:39:12.78
It's not once
saved always saved.
00:39:12.78\00:39:14.75
But as long as you're in
relationship with God, you're
00:39:15.02\00:39:18.35
saved.
00:39:18.35\00:39:18.49
You're saved.
00:39:18.79\00:39:19.22
You know how freeing that is?
00:39:19.49\00:39:21.42
It's incredibly free
because I was falling out on the
00:39:21.62\00:39:25.69
legalistic side. Right.
00:39:25.96\00:39:28.46
up your own righteousness
with your own bootstraps.
00:39:28.46\00:39:30.47
And that's stressful.
00:39:30.90\00:39:32.03
So when you just submit, which
can be kind of easier said than
00:39:32.43\00:39:36.34
done, but it's that daily moment
by moment process of submitting
00:39:36.37\00:39:39.27
to Jesus Christ and say, my
righteousness is as filthy rags
00:39:39.27\00:39:42.58
Lord, but it's
your righteousness.
00:39:42.58\00:39:44.08
That I'm hanging on to.
00:39:44.78\00:39:45.98
You're the one that's changing
me, not me changing myself.
00:39:45.98\00:39:48.95
So that's a huge
freeing experience.
00:39:49.12\00:39:52.02
So yeah.
00:39:52.29\00:39:53.72
And I just want to say this
too, because we just want to say
00:39:53.76\00:39:57.26
thank you for those of you that
supported the first printing of
00:39:57.26\00:40:00.96
this book, because we want to
read some of the responses
because of what you have
00:40:00.96\00:40:03.73
done in sponsoring
the first printing.
00:40:03.73\00:40:05.20
It's changing
people's lives already.
00:40:05.53\00:40:07.57
And we want to share that with
you because we want to encourage
00:40:07.57\00:40:10.61
you like, okay, the funds
when you supported the first
00:40:10.61\00:40:13.44
printing, it's doing a
work already in people's lives.
00:40:13.44\00:40:15.78
Only in eternity, Shelly, will
we know the full impact of your
00:40:16.04\00:40:19.25
book. And of course, I'm so
excited tonight because again,
00:40:19.31\00:40:21.75
this is for the second printing
of Shelly's book, Spotless.
00:40:21.75\00:40:24.22
I'm excited about the Spanish
version also being in this
00:40:24.25\00:40:27.02
container as well.
00:40:27.02\00:40:28.22
But should we read
some of these responses?
00:40:28.29\00:40:29.72
If I can add to that, we
do want to read these things.
00:40:30.29\00:40:33.53
We do want to read these.
00:40:34.03\00:40:35.36
But if I can add to that,
the difference saying like the
00:40:35.36\00:40:38.33
little books we've written
called The Truth About, The
00:40:38.33\00:40:40.90
Truth About Hellfire, The Truth
About the Lord's Day, the
difference in this,
00:40:40.90\00:40:44.61
these honestly need to go to
every Adventist member of our
00:40:44.87\00:40:49.34
church worldwide.
00:40:49.34\00:40:53.25
happens to you when you die,
so let's get these and let's
00:40:53.25\00:40:56.18
evangelize and get them out.
00:40:56.18\00:40:57.45
But right now, we need this.
00:40:57.75\00:41:00.26
Our people within Seventh
Adventist Christians, Christians
00:41:00.26\00:41:04.76
in general, no matter what
denomination you are, if we
00:41:05.16\00:41:09.36
don't understand righteousness
by faith, we don't understand
00:41:09.36\00:41:13.17
that everlasting covenant that
Shelly talks about so
beautifully and easily where you
00:41:13.17\00:41:18.51
can understand it, that
relationship, then the rest of
00:41:18.51\00:41:21.78
it's really in vain.
00:41:21.78\00:41:22.64
And so we're just leaving a
facade and we're not so, this to
00:41:23.18\00:41:27.68
me, that's why
it's so important.
00:41:27.68\00:41:28.98
And it's a whole different, this
is, we need to, each one of us,
00:41:28.98\00:41:33.25
I think we within the church,
before we pass these out to
00:41:33.25\00:41:37.66
everybody you can, but you have
to understand we need this
because I believe this
00:41:37.66\00:41:43.10
message will help bring about
the latter rain because once we
00:41:43.10\00:41:48.10
then, and it's a shaking that's
going to happen and we know
00:41:48.17\00:41:51.71
that, we see it already, but
this is going to kind of be like
the straw they say that
00:41:51.71\00:41:54.94
broke the camel's back.
00:41:54.94\00:41:58.91
what have I been,
what are we preaching?
00:41:59.11\00:42:00.55
What are we teaching?
00:42:00.62\00:42:01.55
The message won't change,
but our hearts will change.
00:42:01.78\00:42:04.05
And when they see Jesus in us,
I, if I be lifted up from the
00:42:04.19\00:42:08.12
earth, we'll draw all men unto
me, but they're not going to see
00:42:08.16\00:42:11.16
that. If I'm coming from a
legalistic or liberal side over
00:42:11.29\00:42:15.43
here, they're
not going to see it.
00:42:15.43\00:42:15.93
It's about relationship.
00:42:16.00\00:42:17.07
You read this book.
00:42:17.13\00:42:18.00
I know how much you love it.
00:42:18.07\00:42:19.50
Can you imagine that you're
brand new to this teaching and
00:42:19.50\00:42:23.34
it proves it's from the Bible.
00:42:23.34\00:42:29.71
me.
00:42:29.71\00:42:30.18
This is truth.
00:42:30.31\00:42:31.28
This is truth.
00:42:32.08\00:42:33.01
In the next
chapter, this is truth.
00:42:33.01\00:42:33.05
He's accepted all of the Bible
doctrines that we hope to in all
00:42:35.05\00:42:39.99
28 fundamental beliefs are here.
00:42:39.99\00:42:41.22
Can you imagine reading this and
walking into a church that was
00:42:41.56\00:42:46.06
legalistic?
00:42:46.06\00:42:46.86
Yeah.
00:42:47.76\00:42:49.13
We need this.
00:42:49.66\00:42:50.40
We need it.
00:42:50.93\00:42:51.37
We do.
00:42:51.63\00:42:51.97
Let's read.
00:42:53.64\00:42:54.34
This says my adult son left the
Adventist church years ago when
00:42:55.40\00:42:59.01
he accepted the once saved,
always saved message and started
00:42:59.01\00:43:01.94
attending a Sunday church.
00:43:01.94\00:43:02.74
I can no longer drive.
00:43:02.98\00:43:04.11
And for the past few years, he's
been dropping me off at church
00:43:04.31\00:43:07.75
each Sabbath, but
would not attend with me.
00:43:07.75\00:43:09.92
We debated once saved, always
saved every week because I was
00:43:10.15\00:43:13.72
worried about his lifestyle.
00:43:13.72\00:43:14.66
I gave him a copy of spotless
and he read it in just a couple
00:43:15.12\00:43:18.36
of days.
00:43:18.36\00:43:22.86
My son became convinced he had
been following a twisted version
00:43:23.67\00:43:27.14
of scripture and has now
returned to the Adventist
00:43:27.14\00:43:31.84
church. Praise God.
00:43:32.14\00:43:36.24
topic.
00:43:36.24\00:43:42.08
I came from that
background of legalism.
00:43:42.08\00:43:45.89
I came from that background
of am I good enough for God?
00:43:45.89\00:43:49.66
Can I try hard enough?
00:43:49.76\00:43:50.99
If I do enough, if I grit my
teeth more, if I just try more,
00:43:51.09\00:43:56.56
maybe God's going to love me
and accept me and save me in his
00:43:56.56\00:43:59.70
kingdom. Always
worried about my salvation.
00:44:00.04\00:44:02.94
And when you understand, when
you accept, when you internalize
00:44:03.37\00:44:09.94
that Jesus' blood on the cross
was your perfect substitute and
00:44:09.94\00:44:16.08
sacrifice that you can accept it
and receive it by faith and be
00:44:16.08\00:44:21.86
clothed in his righteousness.
00:44:21.86\00:44:22.42
It is revolutionary.
00:44:22.62\00:44:23.46
It changes your life.
00:44:24.19\00:44:25.76
It gives you freedom and
joy and peace and happiness.
00:44:25.96\00:44:30.27
So Shelley, thank you.
00:44:30.80\00:44:31.80
Thank you for bringing
that to so many people.
00:44:31.80\00:44:31.83
Glory to God.
00:44:35.47\00:44:36.40
This comes from
Carolyn and she says spotless.
00:44:36.44\00:44:38.94
The book Spotless opened my
understanding to see the Bible
00:44:39.11\00:44:43.08
is the story of the Messiah
from Genesis to Revelation.
00:44:43.08\00:44:46.72
It's so simple to see in
Shelley Quinn how Shelley Quinn
00:44:47.18\00:44:51.99
distilled the
message from scripture.
00:44:51.99\00:44:53.29
It's the, and she has it here
in quotes, this is what Carolyn
00:44:53.96\00:44:56.39
wrote, a Bible for dummies.
00:44:56.59\00:44:57.99
That's cute.
00:44:58.83\00:44:59.66
I now understand God is the same
God of love in the Old Testament
00:45:00.73\00:45:04.53
and the New.
00:45:04.53\00:45:05.33
That's fantastic.
00:45:05.47\00:45:06.50
I also now believe the
Holy Spirit is a person.
00:45:07.27\00:45:09.57
Praise the Lord.
00:45:09.90\00:45:14.64
scripture.
00:45:14.64\00:45:15.08
So Carolyn, her
life has changed.
00:45:15.61\00:45:17.08
So praise God for that.
00:45:17.31\00:45:18.25
Dr. Yvonne, Mr.
Danny, you have some as well.
00:45:18.25\00:45:18.28
The message of righteousness
by faith, the heart and soul of
00:45:21.42\00:45:25.12
Adventism has
become my heart and soul.
00:45:25.12\00:45:27.49
Books like Shelley Quinn
Spotless continually lead me out
00:45:27.86\00:45:32.39
of my own mud puddle of
self-righteousness into God's
vast ocean of grace.
00:45:32.39\00:45:37.80
Without the gospel at the heart
of this book, I would not know
00:45:37.80\00:45:42.54
the love, joy
and peace of Christ.
00:45:42.54\00:45:44.71
How beautiful is that?
00:45:45.11\00:45:46.81
Because this book
is teaching the gospel.
00:45:47.04\00:45:51.68
That's the gospel and that's
what we should be sharing with
00:45:52.58\00:45:56.05
the world.
00:45:56.05\00:45:56.35
The gospel of Jesus Christ.
00:45:56.89\00:45:58.49
Good news.
00:45:58.52\00:46:04.13
the self-righteousness.
00:46:04.56\00:46:05.73
It's not about us.
00:46:05.73\00:46:07.93
It's all about him.
00:46:08.63\00:46:09.73
And once we take our eyes off of
ourselves, and that's what you
00:46:09.96\00:46:15.14
have in here Shelley, and I love
the summaries at the end of each
00:46:15.14\00:46:18.64
chapter because it kind of can
take you back and kind of give
00:46:18.64\00:46:24.75
you an encapsulation of what
the whole chapter was about.
00:46:24.75\00:46:28.32
This is a powerful tool.
00:46:28.45\00:46:31.29
This is a tool for people.
00:46:31.89\00:46:33.89
So thank you for letting
the Lord use you to share this
00:46:33.89\00:46:39.49
information with us.
00:46:39.49\00:46:43.60
glasses.
00:46:43.60\00:46:49.77
So not really, but these
just stick on your nose and they
00:46:50.34\00:46:54.08
still work. This one says...
00:46:54.91\00:46:56.04
They look good on you Mr. Danny.
00:46:56.04\00:46:56.88
That may be a little stretch.
00:46:59.38\00:47:01.05
And you actually have them so
they can go in your cell phone
00:47:01.05\00:47:04.49
case. I do.
00:47:04.69\00:47:08.26
And so every now and then I
forget to put them back in here
00:47:08.59\00:47:11.69
too. But so anyway,
I got several pairs.
00:47:11.93\00:47:13.86
They're really cheap.
00:47:13.86\00:47:14.50
This says one spotless arrived.
00:47:15.00\00:47:16.73
I devoured its pages soaking
in the beautiful truths of God's
00:47:16.90\00:47:20.84
righteousness
and parted into us.
00:47:20.84\00:47:22.64
Shelley was used by the Holy
Spirit to clearly articulate
00:47:23.00\00:47:28.11
God's truth in a masterful,
easy to understand way.
00:47:28.11\00:47:31.11
In my opinion, this
book is a must read.
00:47:31.28\00:47:33.72
They have it in dark print as
a must read for every Christian
00:47:34.05\00:47:38.25
who seeks deeper understanding
of the covenant of righteousness
00:47:38.25\00:47:42.32
we have by faith.
00:47:42.32\00:47:43.29
It will strengthen your
faith in a profound way.
00:47:43.29\00:47:45.86
And that's somebody with a
doctorate degree who is not a
00:47:46.09\00:47:50.13
Seventh -day Adventist.
00:47:50.13\00:47:51.10
It's so amazing to me.
00:47:51.57\00:47:53.20
I wish I knew your name.
00:47:53.57\00:47:55.50
If you're the pastor in Montana,
somebody from the call center
00:47:55.54\00:47:59.04
called and said, or
maybe they mean them.
00:47:59.04\00:48:02.48
I need to look these things up.
00:48:02.51\00:48:03.88
I'm not good about keeping it.
00:48:03.98\00:48:05.61
But they said, this pastor has
ordered like four or five boxes.
00:48:05.61\00:48:09.32
He called to order another.
00:48:09.35\00:48:10.59
He gave them out to an academy
and they studied and revival
00:48:10.95\00:48:17.39
broke out at the academy.
00:48:17.39\00:48:18.39
And one lady wrote and she said,
you have written in a way and
00:48:18.73\00:48:23.57
she, we give God all the glory.
00:48:23.57\00:48:24.87
She did as well.
00:48:24.90\00:48:29.80
understand.
00:48:29.80\00:48:35.58
funny.
00:48:35.58\00:48:41.95
times.
00:48:41.95\00:48:42.75
Wow.
00:48:43.32\00:48:43.79
She reads it.
00:48:44.05\00:48:45.05
Then she went
and read it through.
00:48:45.15\00:48:46.49
Then she goes through and she's
looking up every scripture.
00:48:46.72\00:48:49.32
It's a deep study, but it's, but
it's, if you just read it to get
00:48:49.96\00:48:55.53
the principle.
00:48:55.53\00:48:56.30
It just, it's,
it's architectural.
00:48:57.10\00:48:59.90
And I've had a couple of pastors
who tell me, boy, I'm getting
00:49:00.04\00:49:04.71
all of these
little nuggets in Genesis.
00:49:04.71\00:49:07.88
And see what's so
important about this.
00:49:08.28\00:49:10.35
If Jesus said to the Pharisees,
if you believe the writings of
00:49:10.95\00:49:17.29
Moses, you'd
believe me, my words.
00:49:17.92\00:49:19.45
But if you don't, you won't.
00:49:19.45\00:49:19.49
The writings of Moses in Genesis
we get all of the covenant
00:49:21.49\00:49:28.00
language that helps identify who
the person of Jesus Christ is.
00:49:28.00\00:49:33.94
And so it's just
an incredible book.
00:49:34.30\00:49:38.34
It can be used
for all denominations.
00:49:38.64\00:49:42.08
This is not, it's not
disparaging or not even
00:49:42.38\00:49:47.08
mentioning other churches.
00:49:47.08\00:49:47.78
We need to all work
together for the glory of God.
00:49:48.12\00:49:53.32
Amen.
00:49:53.32\00:49:53.36
That number
again is 618-627-4651.
00:49:59.66\00:50:03.87
And you can help sponsor
the second printing of this
00:50:03.97\00:50:09.00
incredible work on
righteousness by faith.
00:50:09.00\00:50:10.34
We're going to print it
in English and in Spanish.
00:50:10.71\00:50:13.17
So you can call us right now and
say, yes, I want to get on board
00:50:13.44\00:50:17.11
and help support this
evangelistic project that can
00:50:17.11\00:50:21.58
change not only those within the
Seventh Adventist Church, but
00:50:21.58\00:50:24.45
any denomination. Or
you can go online, 3ABN.TV.
00:50:24.79\00:50:28.62
That's 3ABN.TV.
00:50:29.02\00:50:31.26
And you just click on the
spotless code, which is 317-317.
00:50:31.53\00:50:36.97
Or you can write a
check and send it in the mail.
00:50:37.27\00:50:39.77
That's right.
00:50:39.77\00:50:40.14
P.O.
00:50:40.17\00:50:45.37
And just in the
memo, put Shelly's book.
00:50:45.47\00:50:47.71
We'll know
exactly what you mean.
00:50:47.88\00:50:49.01
Or just put Righteousness
by Faith or Spotless book.
00:50:49.41\00:50:53.35
So any of those will work.
00:50:53.35\00:50:54.82
I wanted to say one more thing.
00:50:54.95\00:50:56.38
What I love about Spotless,
there's churches who are using
00:50:56.72\00:51:00.36
it for their
study in New Zealand.
00:51:00.36\00:51:01.26
The church that used
it for their newcomers.
00:51:01.66\00:51:04.29
They had all the rest of
the people joining them by Zoom.
00:51:04.36\00:51:07.00
And they just went through
it because it's a Bible study.
00:51:07.36\00:51:10.97
And they said that their
newcomers are more solid in
00:51:11.53\00:51:15.97
understanding everything.
00:51:15.97\00:51:16.81
But other churches and
those people, you know, the same
00:51:17.31\00:51:20.11
thing. They said it, you know,
Jesus said in Revelation 2-4, I
00:51:20.54\00:51:25.78
have this against you.
00:51:25.78\00:51:26.58
You've
forgotten your first love.
00:51:26.61\00:51:28.22
We all end up there.
00:51:28.98\00:51:30.19
We all get distracted.
00:51:30.52\00:51:31.82
And this book helps bring you
back to where it uplifts Jesus.
00:51:32.12\00:51:38.43
I mean, when I finished writing
it, God was showing me all these
00:51:38.46\00:51:41.80
things.
00:51:41.80\00:51:45.27
Neither did I tell us.
00:51:45.30\00:51:46.43
Writing it, God was showing me.
00:51:46.43\00:51:46.47
But it will make you stand
in holy wonder of your Savior.
00:51:48.10\00:51:56.04
Really, truly, it will.
00:51:56.58\00:51:58.21
And people are giving
it out like in New Zealand.
00:51:58.88\00:52:01.62
They gave it out
for Christmas presents.
00:52:01.85\00:52:03.62
And they've got people coming to
the church, family and friends,
00:52:03.85\00:52:08.66
who were introduced to Jesus and
now want to know about Jesus.
00:52:08.66\00:52:13.40
It's all about what He did
for us and continues to do in
00:52:13.96\00:52:20.17
Heaven. Amen.
00:52:20.24\00:52:25.27
beginning.
00:52:25.27\00:52:27.98
And you've also said through the
years, you said those that are
00:52:28.54\00:52:31.98
part of our 3ABN
family are movers and shakers.
00:52:31.98\00:52:34.95
Get behind these projects that
you've seen it over and over
00:52:35.02\00:52:38.12
again. Yeah, and we just ask
people, as always, because we
00:52:38.32\00:52:42.26
don't do any begathons or
praiseathons, but on certain
projects, we just ask you
00:52:42.26\00:52:46.83
to pray and ask the Holy Spirit
what He would have you to do in
00:52:46.83\00:52:51.50
this project.
00:52:51.50\00:52:55.44
And we're talking about the
everlasting Gospel, but within
00:52:55.47\00:52:58.94
the church, because I see it,
we see it constantly, especially
00:52:58.94\00:53:04.48
some of the sermons I've
preached at camp meeting.
00:53:04.48\00:53:06.18
I'm amazed at how many people
within the church get upset.
00:53:06.21\00:53:09.95
They don't talk about LGBTQ,
don't talk about abortion, don't
00:53:11.02\00:53:15.56
talk about any of these things,
and this is okay to do, this is
00:53:15.56\00:53:19.39
all right. And it's like a bunch
of dos and don'ts, as you said
00:53:19.76\00:53:24.00
earlier, legalism or liberalism,
and I always say lazyism.
00:53:24.30\00:53:27.67
Some of that is the problems
within our church, but what we
00:53:28.07\00:53:31.87
need to focus on is
Christ and His righteousness.
00:53:31.87\00:53:34.41
We understand the covenant
relationship, and Shelly brings
00:53:34.84\00:53:38.41
this out beautifully.
00:53:38.41\00:53:43.05
it's not her.
00:53:43.05\00:53:44.75
That's why she's
not in awe of herself.
00:53:44.95\00:53:46.59
She's in awe of her own writing,
but she's in awe of what God is
00:53:46.89\00:53:51.03
willing to do through any of us.
00:53:51.03\00:53:52.76
We feel that way with books that
we write or songs that we do.
00:53:52.96\00:53:56.73
There are songs that are
written, and I said, I didn't
00:53:56.83\00:53:59.87
even do that. I
don't even think that way.
00:54:00.07\00:54:01.34
I reread this book recently.
00:54:02.24\00:54:03.77
I wrote this in 10 weeks.
00:54:04.64\00:54:06.24
I can't believe I even wrote it.
00:54:06.41\00:54:07.98
But again, that's going back to
being a vessel that can be used
00:54:08.54\00:54:12.68
of God.
00:54:12.68\00:54:15.12
vessel that was used of God
to start the ministry of 3ABN.
00:54:15.12\00:54:17.95
God's using you too, Shelly.
00:54:18.22\00:54:19.32
You're mentioning
to write this book.
00:54:19.35\00:54:20.66
To be a vessel, to be willing,
like we talked about earlier.
00:54:21.72\00:54:24.76
That's the same
with you at home.
00:54:25.03\00:54:26.09
God's calling you to do
special things for Him too.
00:54:26.39\00:54:28.33
Just make yourself
willing, and He will lead you.
00:54:28.60\00:54:31.37
Man, God can use us in
miraculous ways if we just let
00:54:31.80\00:54:35.57
Him do that. We're talking about
righteousness, talking about
00:54:35.57\00:54:37.84
camp meeting. I'm thinking
about 3ABN Fall Homecoming Camp
00:54:38.14\00:54:41.78
Meeting September 26th through
the 28th and its revival of
00:54:41.78\00:54:46.48
righteousness.
It fits perfectly.
00:54:47.48\00:54:48.48
We want to invite you to come on
over, come on down, come on up,
00:54:49.02\00:54:52.72
wherever you are, to 3ABN's Fall
Homecoming Camp Meeting right
00:54:52.92\00:54:56.96
here on 3ABN's campus.
00:54:56.96\00:54:58.59
We have a great
lineup of speakers.
00:54:58.96\00:55:01.20
Of course we have our in-house
speakers, but we have Pastor
00:55:02.10\00:55:04.87
Mark Finley, Pastor C.A.
00:55:04.87\00:55:05.93
Murray will be here as well.
00:55:06.00\00:55:07.47
Great music, great time of
fellowship, wonderful meals,
00:55:07.70\00:55:11.37
free meals, that's right.
00:55:11.37\00:55:12.44
We have children's meetings,
RV spots, still some available.
00:55:12.94\00:55:17.85
Great tenting spots as well.
00:55:18.41\00:55:20.08
We have a nice bath house for
those of you that were here for
00:55:20.12\00:55:23.28
the summer camp meeting.
00:55:23.28\00:55:24.02
We had a few
issues with showers.
00:55:24.15\00:55:25.15
We had so many
people in tents, like 80.
00:55:25.32\00:55:27.52
Plus the people in the tents, so
there's way more than 80 people
00:55:28.22\00:55:31.03
in the tents.
00:55:31.03\00:55:35.66
will accommodate that.
00:55:35.66\00:55:40.00
But we just want to invite
you to come here to 3ABN, just a
00:55:40.07\00:55:43.77
great time again of
fellowshiping, praising the Lord
00:55:43.77\00:55:46.78
for what He is doing.
00:55:46.78\00:55:50.01
That's revival of righteousness
because then we can go back to
00:55:50.08\00:55:52.85
our local churches, communities,
workplaces, and share the love
00:55:52.85\00:55:55.45
of Jesus with others.
00:55:55.45\00:55:56.12
Who are some of the speakers?
00:55:56.12\00:55:57.22
We have C.A.
00:55:58.49\00:55:59.89
Murray and Mark Finley
are our guest speakers.
00:56:00.09\00:56:02.99
And then in-house, Ryan Day,
Kenny, Jill, John Denzy, James
00:56:03.32\00:56:08.83
Rafferty, Danny, Shelley,
and Sabbath School panel.
00:56:09.90\00:56:14.17
It will be wonderful.
00:56:14.40\00:56:15.24
It's going to be
an exciting time.
00:56:15.40\00:56:16.81
Thank you all for
being here, for being family.
00:56:16.91\00:56:18.97
What a privilege to
serve in ministry together.
00:56:19.07\00:56:21.61
Oh, it is.
00:56:21.61\00:56:22.34
Love you all.
00:56:22.34\00:56:23.71
And I just want to quickly say
thank you to those who sponsored
00:56:24.01\00:56:27.42
this in the past.
00:56:27.42\00:56:28.62
It's more your
project than it is mine.
00:56:29.05\00:56:30.95
It's God's project.
00:56:31.05\00:56:31.82
It's God.
00:56:32.25\00:56:33.05
Praise the Lord.
00:56:33.42\00:56:35.76
We're going to have Pastor John
and Angela Loma Kane with us and
00:56:35.86\00:56:39.36
Jason and Francine Bergman.
00:56:39.36\00:56:40.63
So it's going to be a wonderful
time with more of our 3ABN
00:56:40.70\00:56:44.77
family. We're going to
have an update from Gillette.
00:56:45.20\00:56:46.80
That's right.
00:56:46.87\00:56:47.47
We had a crew there.
00:56:47.50\00:56:48.77
The Pathfinder
Campery in Gillette, Wyoming.
00:56:49.10\00:56:51.44
We're going to hear about that.
00:56:51.64\00:56:52.67
We're going to hear
about ASI and what happened.
00:56:52.67\00:56:54.94
Our upcoming trip down under
to Australia and New Zealand.
00:56:55.11\00:56:58.05
And so much more.
00:56:58.51\00:56:59.48
So stay with us for the second
hour with your 3ABN family.
00:56:59.75\00:57:03.22
