Welcome back to 3ABN Today Live.
00:00:09.60\00:00:12.44
Thank you for joining us.
00:00:12.54\00:00:14.14
And so far we've had great
discussions with my wife Yvonne
00:00:14.34\00:00:18.35
and Pastor James Rafferty.
00:00:18.35\00:00:20.32
And we're continuing
getting your questions.
00:00:21.08\00:00:23.85
So we're going to try to
get as many of these as we can
00:00:24.35\00:00:27.46
answered.
00:00:27.46\00:00:31.59
happening.
00:00:31.59\00:00:35.83
election, a little bit of that.
00:00:35.83\00:00:37.30
So we've got a few more
questions that's asking about
00:00:37.73\00:00:40.70
that.
00:00:40.70\00:00:40.97
Why not?
00:00:40.97\00:00:41.84
If we can't deal with it, we
should be able to deal with any
00:00:42.17\00:00:44.61
question from the Bible.
00:00:44.61\00:00:45.67
And so there are a number
of questions coming in, but you
00:00:45.97\00:00:48.51
can call us
618-627-4651 with your question.
00:00:48.51\00:00:53.35
Or I think there's a
number you can text also.
00:00:53.42\00:00:56.89
There it is 618-228-3975.
00:00:57.32\00:01:00.96
Or you can go to what?
00:01:01.19\00:01:02.89
Live at 3ABN Today Live.
00:01:03.02\00:01:04.69
And we'll be happy
to take those questions.
00:01:05.49\00:01:08.73
And while I have this great
couple here, I think they can
00:01:09.10\00:01:12.70
answer about anything that
you can ask if it has to do with
00:01:12.70\00:01:16.17
the Bible and end time events.
00:01:16.17\00:01:18.27
So we're going to have some fun.
00:01:18.61\00:01:19.81
Let's continue to go forward.
00:01:20.18\00:01:21.84
Okay.
00:01:22.54\00:01:24.61
No, I love this.
00:01:25.15\00:01:26.08
I think I just think it's so
important to talk about what's
00:01:26.38\00:01:28.92
going on and to really, it
really shows the relevance of
00:01:28.92\00:01:32.49
the Bible.
00:01:32.49\00:01:32.92
Amen.
00:01:32.92\00:01:33.59
Because we can apply
everything from the Lord.
00:01:33.89\00:01:37.13
So it's really good.
00:01:38.09\00:01:38.79
So question.
00:01:39.16\00:01:40.23
What's the difference between
the rapture and the second
00:01:40.96\00:01:43.80
coming of Christ?
00:01:43.80\00:01:44.67
Well, it depends.
00:01:44.97\00:01:48.37
the rapture is taken from 1
Thessalonians chapter 4, where
00:01:48.37\00:01:51.91
it says we'll be caught up
to meet him in the air, to meet
00:01:51.91\00:01:54.28
the Lord in the air.
00:01:54.28\00:01:57.51
the archangel and dead in
Christ are going to rise first.
00:01:57.51\00:01:59.45
And then we, which are
alive and remain are going to be
00:01:59.51\00:02:01.42
caught in the air.
00:02:01.42\00:02:05.15
the word caught up and it takes
place at the second coming of
00:02:05.15\00:02:08.56
Jesus Christ and not secretly.
00:02:08.56\00:02:10.23
Right.
00:02:11.33\00:02:12.16
Explain that.
00:02:12.89\00:02:13.90
Well, if you start thinking
that he's coming secretly.
00:02:14.03\00:02:15.83
So there's a couple of
scriptures and I'll just look
00:02:16.16\00:02:18.07
at one of them because we don't
have time for an in-depth study
00:02:18.07\00:02:20.50
of this.
00:02:20.50\00:02:25.04
chapter 2, or is
it 1 Thessalonians?
00:02:25.04\00:02:29.31
Chapter 4, then chapter 5.
00:02:29.31\00:02:30.98
So we just talked
about the rapture, right?
00:02:31.01\00:02:32.98
In 1 Thessalonians chapter
4, there's no chapter division
00:02:33.15\00:02:36.08
here in the original letter.
00:02:36.08\00:02:37.29
Paul is continuing on here
in chapter 1, verse 5, but the
00:02:37.99\00:02:42.12
times and the seasons,
brethren, you have no need that
00:02:42.12\00:02:44.66
I write unto you.
00:02:44.66\00:02:45.76
For yourselves know perfectly
well that the day of the Lord
00:02:46.56\00:02:49.90
comes as a thief in the night.
00:02:49.90\00:02:51.57
Let me just ask
you a question now.
00:02:51.87\00:02:53.47
We just read this verse.
00:02:53.47\00:02:53.50
And I'm just going to ask you a
question because I'm hoping you
00:02:54.74\00:02:56.77
read the verse with me
and you're thinking about it.
00:02:56.77\00:02:58.41
What comes as a
thief in the night?
00:02:58.71\00:03:00.21
The day of the Lord.
00:03:00.71\00:03:01.21
The day of the Lord.
00:03:01.21\00:03:02.24
Does it say the Lord
comes as a thief in the night?
00:03:02.28\00:03:03.81
No.
00:03:03.91\00:03:05.68
Because when the Lord comes,
it's not going to be a thief in
00:03:05.88\00:03:08.12
the night.
00:03:08.12\00:03:10.52
But the day come...
00:03:10.75\00:03:11.72
No one knows the
day when he's coming.
00:03:11.72\00:03:13.56
No one knows
the day in the hour.
00:03:13.62\00:03:14.86
So the day of the Lord
comes as a thief in the night.
00:03:15.06\00:03:17.33
Now notice what
it says in verse 3.
00:03:17.39\00:03:18.86
For when they shall say peace
and safety, sudden destruction
00:03:18.86\00:03:23.20
comes upon them as travail
upon a woman with child and they
00:03:23.20\00:03:27.64
shall not escape.
00:03:27.64\00:03:28.60
Now that's not
talking about the righteous.
00:03:29.00\00:03:30.51
The righteous
are going to escape.
00:03:30.64\00:03:31.64
They're going to be caught up.
00:03:31.74\00:03:32.61
They're going to be raptured.
00:03:32.61\00:03:32.64
But they is the wicked.
00:03:34.04\00:03:35.21
And so we're thinking all the
righteous will be raptured away
00:03:35.28\00:03:38.01
and then the wicked
will be left on the surface.
00:03:38.01\00:03:39.68
No, it says
they will not escape.
00:03:39.71\00:03:41.12
But ye brethren are not in
darkness as that day should
00:03:41.72\00:03:44.02
overtake you as a thief.
00:03:44.02\00:03:45.09
You are children of the
light and children of the day.
00:03:45.19\00:03:47.16
You are not of
darkness and of the night.
00:03:47.16\00:03:49.26
Therefore let us not sleep as
others do, but let us watch and
00:03:49.36\00:03:52.43
be sober.
00:03:52.43\00:03:57.10
Romans chapter 13.
00:03:57.10\00:03:58.17
You know, those were the
verses you brought to us, right?
00:03:58.27\00:03:59.87
When you look at
this and you look at...
00:04:00.20\00:04:01.87
There's another one
that talks about this also.
00:04:01.87\00:04:04.37
When you look at these, the day
of the Lord comes as a thief.
00:04:04.41\00:04:06.91
The context of it is talking
about God's people being saved,
00:04:07.11\00:04:11.01
raptured up, caught up, but the
wicked being overwhelmed with
00:04:11.28\00:04:14.42
destruction.
00:04:14.42\00:04:15.05
The other one is in 2 Peter.
00:04:15.05\00:04:17.75
It also talks about that.
00:04:18.02\00:04:19.42
It says he comes as a thief,
the day comes as a thief, and
00:04:19.72\00:04:22.36
sudden destruction
comes upon them all, right?
00:04:22.36\00:04:24.63
So the idea that there's going
to be people remaining alive,
00:04:24.89\00:04:27.93
right?
00:04:27.93\00:04:31.97
It talks about how the wicked
are to go run to rocks in the
00:04:32.20\00:04:34.44
mountains and say hide us from
the face of him that sits on
00:04:34.44\00:04:36.87
the throne and from the
wrath of the Lamb, right?
00:04:36.87\00:04:38.91
All of these verses need to
be put together to come to a
00:04:39.01\00:04:41.68
conclusion, right?
00:04:41.68\00:04:42.88
And when you do that, yep,
the second coming, the rapture,
00:04:42.88\00:04:46.55
same event.
00:04:46.78\00:04:47.22
And you know, that's so good.
00:04:47.68\00:04:49.38
You know, when you think about
the return of the Savior, the
00:04:49.58\00:04:53.12
Creator, all of creation is
going to respond to the return
00:04:53.12\00:04:58.53
of the Creator.
00:04:58.53\00:04:59.26
The earth will quake.
00:04:59.46\00:05:00.83
You know, the elements
will melt with fervent heat.
00:05:01.43\00:05:04.73
I mean, yeah, this is no secret.
00:05:04.73\00:05:08.24
Man, it makes me want to shout.
00:05:09.77\00:05:12.01
Go ahead, shout it out.
00:05:12.91\00:05:13.78
Come on now.
00:05:13.78\00:05:13.81
everything, every created
thing is going to respond.
00:05:19.48\00:05:22.95
The dead in
Christ will rise first.
00:05:23.72\00:05:25.69
I mean, it's going to be chaos.
00:05:25.82\00:05:27.99
They want to
talk about a secret.
00:05:28.46\00:05:29.79
You know, I'd love to be caught
up and just go, but that's not
00:05:30.46\00:05:34.10
what's going to happen.
00:05:34.10\00:05:35.40
He can.
00:05:35.40\00:05:36.23
This is a grand
reunion right here.
00:05:36.23\00:05:37.83
It's a grand reunion.
00:05:37.90\00:05:39.30
And everything, everything is
going to respond to the return
00:05:40.00\00:05:43.91
of the Creator.
00:05:43.91\00:05:46.57
Yes, yes.
00:05:47.34\00:05:48.24
Or coming for his bride.
00:05:48.24\00:05:49.54
Amen.
00:05:50.45\00:05:50.88
Love it.
00:05:51.41\00:05:52.11
Okay.
00:05:52.68\00:05:53.11
Go ahead.
00:05:53.82\00:05:56.82
said, we don't have time to get
into all of that, but right now
00:05:56.82\00:06:00.16
people, in fact, we had a
couple funerals in the last
00:06:00.16\00:06:04.53
couple weeks of people that
we know, but they're already
00:06:04.53\00:06:08.50
according to
these people in heaven.
00:06:08.50\00:06:10.23
But that also means that if
people are in heaven right now,
00:06:10.73\00:06:13.34
there's people in hell
fire that's been burning for
00:06:13.37\00:06:16.00
thousands of years.
00:06:16.00\00:06:17.07
Maybe they didn't do anything
that bad or worse than what me
00:06:17.64\00:06:21.51
or someone else would do,
and we're going to burn 5,000
00:06:21.51\00:06:24.58
years, 5,000
years less of torture.
00:06:24.58\00:06:27.88
I mean, the way the Christian
Church, much of the Christian
00:06:27.88\00:06:31.72
Church teaches it, I'm so
thankful that we have good,
00:06:31.72\00:06:35.49
solid information, biblical
information that what happens
00:06:35.66\00:06:39.36
to people when we die.
00:06:39.36\00:06:40.66
In fact, that's one of the
books here that we have about
00:06:40.83\00:06:45.17
hell fire.
00:06:45.17\00:06:45.77
Yes.
00:06:46.60\00:06:47.84
The Truth About Hell Fire.
00:06:47.87\00:06:49.57
And this will explain to you
a lot of what you were saying
00:06:49.90\00:06:53.51
about every eye shall see, and
it tells you what hell really
00:06:53.51\00:06:57.48
is and how long does
it last for eternity.
00:06:57.48\00:07:00.22
I can answer you that no.
00:07:00.32\00:07:02.15
The results are
eternal, but hell fire doesn't.
00:07:02.48\00:07:05.79
And I love what you're saying
right now because here we are
00:07:05.99\00:07:08.72
again with two extremes, right?
00:07:08.72\00:07:10.36
So we've got the one extreme
that says God's going to burn
00:07:10.39\00:07:12.39
people for all eternity, and
the other, oh, then there is no
00:07:12.39\00:07:14.56
hell.
00:07:14.56\00:07:14.73
There's no place.
00:07:15.03\00:07:15.56
There's no punishment.
00:07:15.56\00:07:15.60
There's nothing like that.
00:07:16.23\00:07:17.30
But you're
saying there is a hell.
00:07:17.43\00:07:18.77
The Bible teaches
that very clearly, right?
00:07:19.00\00:07:21.07
And so we've got to
maintain this balance.
00:07:21.17\00:07:23.61
You know, Isaiah 30-21 says,
you'll hear a voice behind you
00:07:23.61\00:07:27.04
saying, this is the way walk ye
in it when you turn to the left
00:07:27.04\00:07:29.51
or when you turn
to the right, right?
00:07:29.51\00:07:31.51
Those two extremes, and God
is keeping us straight in the
00:07:31.51\00:07:34.32
middle on that path of truth.
00:07:34.32\00:07:35.52
And I love that also, the truth
about, the truth about, the
00:07:36.02\00:07:37.99
truth about, because Jesus
says, I'm the way, the truth,
00:07:37.99\00:07:40.42
and the light.
00:07:40.49\00:07:40.86
This is Jesus' truth about.
00:07:41.49\00:07:42.86
That's right.
00:07:43.16\00:07:43.59
Amen.
00:07:43.59\00:07:46.76
here.
00:07:46.76\00:07:50.43
I have one that's maybe a
facetious question that said,
00:07:50.77\00:07:53.80
did Jesus die only for
Republicans and not Democrats?
00:07:54.14\00:07:57.07
It says, if I'm not a
Republican, am I not saved?
00:07:57.51\00:08:01.08
The answer is, Jesus died for
both Republicans and Democrats
00:08:01.31\00:08:04.71
and everybody else
ever, ever born on this earth.
00:08:04.71\00:08:09.15
Oh, what a Savior.
00:08:09.75\00:08:10.45
I don't know why He loved us
enough, cared enough for us to
00:08:10.99\00:08:15.52
save us, but He did.
00:08:15.52\00:08:16.96
Salvation is a free gift.
00:08:17.06\00:08:18.46
And also, if we have free
books on that, the truth about
00:08:18.73\00:08:22.93
salvation, because so
many people, there's so many
00:08:22.93\00:08:26.13
questions, and people say,
oh, I got saved when I was nine
00:08:26.13\00:08:29.47
years old, I can basically do
anything I want, and I'm always
00:08:29.47\00:08:33.88
saved, and then others say, no,
so these kind of questions we
00:08:33.88\00:08:37.31
can answer, but anyway.
00:08:37.31\00:08:39.28
Was that a question that came
in, or that was your question?
00:08:39.38\00:08:40.98
That was actually a question.
00:08:40.98\00:08:41.02
That wasn't your question?
00:08:42.55\00:08:43.59
No, no.
00:08:43.72\00:08:44.35
It came in.
00:08:44.89\00:08:45.65
I never asked that question.
00:08:46.12\00:08:47.06
Just checking.
00:08:47.06\00:08:47.56
When you said it was a
facetious question, then you
00:08:48.72\00:08:51.36
started saying it, and I
thought, no, I'm reading it
00:08:51.36\00:08:54.93
right here, and so it sounded
like you're saying, if you
00:08:54.93\00:08:59.73
think that we're Republican
on here, and none of us that I
00:08:59.73\00:09:02.94
know of are part of the
Republican Party, do we have
00:09:02.94\00:09:06.47
leanings in a certain way?
00:09:06.47\00:09:07.68
Do you, whoever wrote this,
it sounds like you might be
00:09:07.84\00:09:11.01
leaning to one way, so all
of us, there are certain things
00:09:11.01\00:09:14.82
about the Republican Party
that I would be in line with, or
00:09:14.82\00:09:18.85
against with the Democratic
Party, which is same-sex
00:09:18.85\00:09:21.19
marriage and abortion.
00:09:21.19\00:09:22.39
For me, I don't know how any
Christian could go along with
00:09:22.72\00:09:25.63
that.
00:09:25.63\00:09:26.63
Okay.
00:09:26.83\00:09:27.23
Right?
00:09:27.30\00:09:29.63
answer the question.
00:09:29.63\00:09:30.33
It's in John
chapter 3, and verse 16.
00:09:30.63\00:09:35.87
It says, For God so loved
Republicans, I mean Baptists, I
00:09:37.11\00:09:42.18
mean Adventists, God so loved
the world that He gave His only
00:09:42.18\00:09:45.28
begotten Son, whosoever
believes in Him, whosoever
00:09:45.28\00:09:47.82
believes in Him, whatever your
party affiliation is or is not,
00:09:47.82\00:09:50.59
whatever country you're from or
from not, God is interested in
00:09:50.95\00:09:54.86
every single
person on planet Earth.
00:09:54.86\00:09:56.69
He didn't just
die for a select few.
00:09:56.86\00:09:58.83
That's right.
00:09:59.06\00:09:59.79
He didn't just die
for a predestined few.
00:09:59.93\00:10:01.90
He died for the entire world.
00:10:02.20\00:10:03.70
That's right.
00:10:03.70\00:10:04.53
Whoever believes
in Him can be saved.
00:10:04.53\00:10:04.57
That's right.
00:10:06.40\00:10:07.00
Yeah.
00:10:07.00\00:10:07.50
Praise God.
00:10:07.50\00:10:07.90
Praise God.
00:10:08.27\00:10:12.57
it, but I've been really
getting into the Gospel and
00:10:12.57\00:10:15.94
studying it and seeing
the beauty of what Jesus
00:10:15.94\00:10:20.72
accomplished
for us at the cross.
00:10:20.72\00:10:22.65
And Jesus died for everyone,
for everyone and anyone can
00:10:23.35\00:10:29.12
take advantage of the benefits
that come to us as a result of
00:10:29.12\00:10:35.00
the cross.
00:10:35.00\00:10:35.66
But I think one of the things
is that we're not, we get so
00:10:36.23\00:10:40.50
caught up in a whole bunch of
other things that we don't look
00:10:40.50\00:10:43.67
at that, that we don't spend
time thinking about what He did
00:10:43.67\00:10:48.51
and what was
accomplished for us.
00:10:48.51\00:10:50.11
I'd like to read a
scripture for me real quick.
00:10:50.35\00:10:52.21
I'll read one right after you.
00:10:52.45\00:10:53.55
Okay, good.
00:10:53.62\00:10:54.05
No hurry.
00:10:54.05\00:10:54.58
Take your time.
00:10:54.75\00:10:55.65
This is really looking at the
human condition and it's found,
00:10:55.98\00:11:00.46
and when I read this, I was
like, wow, I don't know why I
00:11:00.69\00:11:03.19
didn't notice this before.
00:11:03.19\00:11:04.26
Titus 3 verses 3 through 7.
00:11:04.53\00:11:10.10
It says, For we ourselves were
also once foolish, disobedient,
00:11:10.77\00:11:16.60
deceived, serving various lusts
and pleasures, living in malice
00:11:16.84\00:11:21.04
and envy, hateful
and hating one another.
00:11:21.04\00:11:23.58
That sounds like
what's going on right now.
00:11:23.68\00:11:25.78
But when the kindness and the
love of God our Savior toward
00:11:26.95\00:11:30.82
man appeared, not by works
of righteousness, which we have
00:11:30.82\00:11:35.06
done, but according to His
mercy, He saved us through the
00:11:35.06\00:11:39.26
washing of regeneration and
renewing of the Holy Spirit,
00:11:39.26\00:11:42.56
whom He poured out on us
abundantly through Jesus Christ
00:11:42.86\00:11:47.50
our Savior, that having
been justified by His grace, we
00:11:47.50\00:11:52.61
should become heirs according
to the hope of eternal life.
00:11:52.61\00:11:56.48
And that is so
beautiful, isn't it?
00:11:56.64\00:11:59.45
Because that's our condition
as human beings without Christ.
00:11:59.61\00:12:04.92
We are deceitful.
00:12:05.09\00:12:06.69
We are disobedient.
00:12:06.69\00:12:06.72
We serve various
lusts and pleasures.
00:12:08.09\00:12:10.46
That's who we are.
00:12:10.76\00:12:11.89
But Jesus has poured out
His love through His Spirit that
00:12:12.46\00:12:17.70
He's given us as a
seal, as a guarantee.
00:12:17.70\00:12:20.40
Ephesians 1.30, I think it is,
or 1.13 and 1.14 that says that
00:12:20.60\00:12:25.14
the Holy Spirit seals us.
00:12:25.14\00:12:28.24
So He comes inside of us and
helps us through this journey
00:12:29.14\00:12:33.85
called life.
00:12:33.85\00:12:34.62
We're not left here
to do it on our own.
00:12:34.72\00:12:36.99
And we can't do it on our own.
00:12:36.99\00:12:38.19
It's impossible.
00:12:38.19\00:12:38.99
It's impossible.
00:12:39.05\00:12:39.95
But with Him, we can do it.
00:12:41.02\00:12:42.76
And so I just think, I wish
that our churches would focus
00:12:42.89\00:12:48.96
more on the Gospel and what was
accomplished for us at Calvary
00:12:48.96\00:12:53.44
and how we can
partake of the divine nature.
00:12:53.77\00:12:58.17
And how we can have
the assurance of salvation.
00:12:58.27\00:13:01.71
Yes, yes.
00:13:02.28\00:13:03.31
I have people tell me you can't
say, they say, oh, don't say
00:13:03.65\00:13:06.78
you're saved.
00:13:06.78\00:13:07.62
Because a lot of denominations,
I'm saved, I'm saved.
00:13:08.18\00:13:10.45
And I understand that part.
00:13:10.72\00:13:12.15
But I wrote a song once that
had to do with this years ago
00:13:12.55\00:13:16.52
about being saved
and thankful to God.
00:13:16.52\00:13:19.39
And I went to church and sang
it in some of our churches and
00:13:19.46\00:13:22.30
they said, oh, you
can't really do that.
00:13:22.30\00:13:24.10
You're not supposed
to say you're saved.
00:13:24.13\00:13:26.03
So I said, well, the way I'm
not a theologian, but the way I
00:13:26.10\00:13:29.17
understand it, we're
either saved or lost.
00:13:29.17\00:13:30.97
And so I choose to be saved.
00:13:31.41\00:13:33.31
So I don't know why I can't.
00:13:33.31\00:13:35.94
God can save even me.
00:13:36.41\00:13:37.85
He can save you.
00:13:37.98\00:13:38.98
So a lot of times we find
ourselves as Christians and
00:13:39.28\00:13:43.39
Adventists trying to
work our way and do things.
00:13:43.39\00:13:45.89
And like we say, we're so
worried about how am I going to
00:13:45.99\00:13:48.62
act when the Sunday law comes
or how am I going to do this or
00:13:48.62\00:13:51.56
that when we're not even sure.
00:13:51.56\00:13:53.36
If you ask people, if Jesus
came today, do you feel you'd
00:13:53.46\00:13:56.67
be saved?
00:13:56.67\00:13:57.17
And people are
like, I really don't know.
00:13:57.63\00:13:59.33
I hope not.
00:13:59.53\00:14:00.60
I may be ignorant, but I'm
going to trust God at His Word.
00:14:01.27\00:14:05.37
And it says, whosoever
believeth in him should not
00:14:05.77\00:14:08.18
perish but have
everlasting life.
00:14:08.18\00:14:10.28
For God so loved the world
He gave His only begotten Son.
00:14:10.51\00:14:13.21
Well, I'm one of those and
I've accepted that free gift.
00:14:13.42\00:14:16.42
I have committed everything to
God, nailed to the foot of the
00:14:16.79\00:14:22.86
cross.
00:14:22.86\00:14:26.36
Brother James, and I'll almost
guarantee you, in my emails, by
00:14:26.59\00:14:30.17
the time I get home, there's
going to be people call me and
00:14:30.17\00:14:33.20
say, you know what, 20 years
ago you did this or that or
00:14:33.20\00:14:37.07
things they didn't even know me.
00:14:37.07\00:14:38.57
They still want to throw up
something what they believe,
00:14:38.74\00:14:41.98
whether it's true or not,
rather than listen to what we
00:14:42.08\00:14:44.98
say.
00:14:44.98\00:14:49.78
she can tell you it's true.
00:14:50.02\00:14:51.05
I'm like, can people hold
grudges of somebody they don't
00:14:51.22\00:14:54.42
even know?
00:14:54.42\00:14:54.96
They've seen you on TV.
00:14:55.12\00:14:56.42
They have no idea what happened.
00:14:56.62\00:14:58.09
Somebody told them and they're
writing me telling me how bad I
00:14:58.16\00:15:01.83
am, and I usually say, you
know what, I'm worse than that.
00:15:01.83\00:15:04.63
I'm a sinner saved by grace.
00:15:05.03\00:15:06.67
I have no defense
because without God I'm nothing.
00:15:06.70\00:15:10.87
But I have the assurance that
when I confess my sins to Jesus
00:15:11.14\00:15:15.21
that he will forgive me for
my sins and cleanse me from all
00:15:15.21\00:15:18.38
unrighteousness.
00:15:18.38\00:15:19.18
So by his shed blood on the
cross of Calvary, yes, I can be
00:15:19.58\00:15:23.49
saved in my own self.
00:15:23.49\00:15:24.55
No, I can't be saved.
00:15:24.65\00:15:25.95
Oh, I was going
to share something.
00:15:27.02\00:15:29.22
Did you want to say something?
00:15:29.49\00:15:32.36
We're either justified by faith
or we're justified by faults.
00:15:32.86\00:15:35.20
Adam and Eve fell into
justification by faults.
00:15:35.86\00:15:38.80
Right?
00:15:39.57\00:15:41.37
They were out of
harmony with God.
00:15:41.54\00:15:42.97
God came and questioned them.
00:15:43.00\00:15:44.14
He investigated them.
00:15:44.21\00:15:45.41
Right?
00:15:45.44\00:15:45.91
What's going on here?
00:15:46.14\00:15:46.88
Not for his good.
00:15:46.88\00:15:46.91
He knew what was going on.
00:15:48.01\00:15:49.11
He investigated them for their
good to help them to see their
00:15:49.28\00:15:51.78
situation.
00:15:51.78\00:15:52.45
And Adam said,
well, it was the woman.
00:15:52.61\00:15:54.18
She's the one at fault here.
00:15:54.98\00:15:56.28
Right?
00:15:56.55\00:15:56.92
Justification by faults.
00:15:57.12\00:15:57.99
And the woman
said, it was the serpent.
00:15:57.99\00:16:00.86
He's the one
that's at fault here.
00:16:01.29\00:16:03.19
What we do with Titus
chapter 3 is we jump to verse 8.
00:16:03.43\00:16:07.10
This is a faithful saying, and
these things I will that thou
00:16:07.76\00:16:10.23
would affirm constantly that
they which have believed in God
00:16:10.23\00:16:13.10
might be careful to
maintain good works.
00:16:13.10\00:16:15.67
These things are good
and profitable unto man.
00:16:16.04\00:16:18.47
As Adventists, that's our verse.
00:16:18.67\00:16:20.58
Right?
00:16:20.94\00:16:23.75
The preceding verses tell us
how we've been saved, how we've
00:16:24.05\00:16:28.42
been saved.
00:16:28.42\00:16:29.05
And then we understand
this is a faithful saying.
00:16:29.48\00:16:32.42
What's a faithful saying?
00:16:32.42\00:16:32.45
How we've been saved.
00:16:34.02\00:16:35.16
And the more we emphasize
how we've been saved, the more
00:16:35.32\00:16:38.23
we're going to maintain
good works because the love of
00:16:38.23\00:16:41.13
Christ motivates us.
00:16:41.13\00:16:42.60
That's right.
00:16:42.70\00:16:45.07
And he says, the reason we love
him is because he first loved
00:16:45.10\00:16:47.64
us.
00:16:47.64\00:16:47.94
Right?
00:16:48.04\00:16:52.01
you're saying here because when
you go back to the evangelist
00:16:52.01\00:16:55.14
Daniel, Daniel's giving his
last evangelist meeting to the
00:16:55.14\00:16:59.05
Babylonian king.
00:16:59.05\00:16:59.75
This is chapter five.
00:16:59.78\00:17:00.95
And he's
pleading with Belshazzar.
00:17:01.45\00:17:03.39
He's saying,
Belshazzar, you missed it.
00:17:03.55\00:17:07.29
Right?
00:17:07.39\00:17:10.09
And he says in verse 23,
he says, but you've lifted up
00:17:10.36\00:17:13.09
yourself against the God of
heaven and have not brought the
00:17:13.09\00:17:16.73
vessels of His
house before thee.
00:17:16.73\00:17:18.10
And you and your lords and your
wives and your concubines have
00:17:18.33\00:17:20.80
drunk wine in them and you
praise the gods of silver and
00:17:20.80\00:17:23.51
gold and brass and wood and
stone that see not, nor hear
00:17:23.51\00:17:26.37
nor know.
00:17:26.37\00:17:32.71
get breath?
00:17:32.71\00:17:33.38
How did Belshazzar get breath?
00:17:33.68\00:17:35.35
He got breath from the cross.
00:17:35.65\00:17:36.92
He got breath from Calvary.
00:17:37.29\00:17:38.52
See, we're not waiting for
God to do something for us if we
00:17:38.92\00:17:44.36
ask Him to come into our lives.
00:17:44.36\00:17:46.26
God has already
done something for us.
00:17:46.49\00:17:48.06
The cross of Calvary was given
not just to give us eternal
00:17:48.26\00:17:50.87
life, the cross of Calvary was
given to give us this present
00:17:50.87\00:17:52.97
life.
00:17:52.97\00:17:55.34
When we evangelize, we need to
tell people God's already done
00:17:55.64\00:17:58.24
something for you.
00:17:58.24\00:17:59.04
He's already interested in you.
00:17:59.04\00:18:00.54
He's already given you
breath and life and all things.
00:18:00.71\00:18:03.11
The light that has come to this
world has lightened every man
00:18:03.45\00:18:06.01
that comes into the world.
00:18:06.01\00:18:06.75
God's the Lord
of the whole world.
00:18:06.85\00:18:08.05
Jesus is the Savior of
the whole world, not just of a
00:18:08.25\00:18:10.45
select few.
00:18:10.45\00:18:10.89
He's come out to you.
00:18:11.15\00:18:12.39
He's running to you.
00:18:14.09\00:18:15.36
He wants you more
than you want Him.
00:18:15.42\00:18:18.03
And that's what draws you.
00:18:18.29\00:18:19.36
The goodness of God
draws you to repentance.
00:18:19.49\00:18:21.53
Right?
00:18:21.53\00:18:23.83
We're still back in legalism
here, you know, emphasizing
00:18:24.30\00:18:26.94
what needs to be produced
in the life, hoping that people
00:18:26.94\00:18:30.17
will get scared enough to try
to do what we're supposed to do
00:18:30.17\00:18:33.58
when the love of God
isn't motivating them.
00:18:33.58\00:18:36.21
We've got to fall in
love with Jesus first.
00:18:36.38\00:18:37.81
And that's why evangelical
friends are way ahead of us.
00:18:38.01\00:18:40.85
See?
00:18:41.08\00:18:43.82
I was in love with Jesus.
00:18:43.95\00:18:45.29
And then I was introduced to
the commandments and I wanted
00:18:45.49\00:18:48.06
to...
00:18:48.06\00:18:49.79
But once I knew they're in
the Bible, I said, absolutely.
00:18:49.79\00:18:51.79
I love Jesus.
00:18:52.29\00:18:53.06
I want to do
whatever He wants me to do.
00:18:53.23\00:18:54.73
Right?
00:18:54.96\00:18:57.90
with this law and all these
things we're supposed to do and
00:18:57.90\00:19:00.14
it's just the standard is
it's almost overwhelming and the
00:19:00.14\00:19:03.51
love of God isn't there.
00:19:03.51\00:19:06.37
don't act this way or whatever.
00:19:06.37\00:19:07.31
Why do we do those things?
00:19:07.68\00:19:09.11
Because we fall in
love with the Savior.
00:19:09.21\00:19:10.98
Right?
00:19:11.11\00:19:11.48
That's why we do them.
00:19:11.68\00:19:12.65
That is it.
00:19:12.85\00:19:13.65
That is it.
00:19:13.85\00:19:14.62
The order, it's out of order.
00:19:14.62\00:19:16.55
The order, we've got
the cart before the horse.
00:19:16.55\00:19:16.58
We do.
00:19:17.99\00:19:18.55
We'll do with evangelism.
00:19:18.82\00:19:20.49
We'll do the 2300 days or
whatever without teaching who
00:19:20.56\00:19:24.49
Jesus is.
00:19:24.49\00:19:25.33
All right.
00:19:25.43\00:19:27.10
Adventist church.
00:19:27.96\00:19:28.43
I'm in the pulpit.
00:19:28.70\00:19:29.50
Ten commandments are behind me.
00:19:29.70\00:19:30.77
Right?
00:19:31.20\00:19:31.87
So I said to the audience,
we're talking about Catholics
00:19:32.40\00:19:34.64
all the time.
00:19:34.64\00:19:35.07
They change the law.
00:19:35.17\00:19:38.07
of God too.
00:19:38.07\00:19:38.71
I said to the
Adventist, we have?
00:19:38.91\00:19:40.81
I said, yeah, what's the first
commandment on that deck log
00:19:41.34\00:19:43.41
right there?
00:19:43.41\00:19:46.21
other gods before me.
00:19:46.21\00:19:47.05
I said, see that?
00:19:47.08\00:19:47.75
That's not the first...
00:19:48.02\00:19:50.62
They said, what?
00:19:51.45\00:19:52.35
I said, read it.
00:19:52.62\00:19:53.36
Exodus.
00:19:53.46\00:19:54.06
I'm the Lord thy God that
brought thee out of the land of
00:19:54.62\00:19:57.66
Egypt.
00:19:57.66\00:19:57.96
How did he do that?
00:19:58.19\00:19:59.19
How did he bring them
out of the land of Egypt?
00:19:59.39\00:20:00.90
Ten plagues and the tenth
plague was the death of the
00:20:01.46\00:20:03.63
firstborn and the only way they
got out of that was to put the
00:20:03.63\00:20:06.77
blood of the lamb on the
doorpost and the lentils.
00:20:06.77\00:20:10.41
That's how I
rescued you from bondage.
00:20:10.77\00:20:12.54
I rescued you from sin
by the blood of the lamb.
00:20:12.84\00:20:14.48
The Ten Commandments has the
gospel in it and the gospel's
00:20:14.84\00:20:18.58
not at the end.
00:20:18.58\00:20:22.75
gospel at the
beginning is what motivates us.
00:20:22.75\00:20:25.65
Then the Ten Commandments
become Ten Promises, right?
00:20:25.65\00:20:25.69
Because of what
Jesus has done for us.
00:20:28.16\00:20:30.23
So start looking at...
00:20:30.76\00:20:32.09
Adventist churches,
start looking at these things.
00:20:32.09\00:20:34.00
We've left out that first
part of the first commandment
00:20:34.20\00:20:36.30
because we've
left out the gospel.
00:20:36.30\00:20:38.60
That's it.
00:20:38.87\00:20:39.80
We're not focused on it.
00:20:40.94\00:20:42.27
And so God is calling us
back to that in three angels'
00:20:42.70\00:20:44.31
messages.
00:20:44.51\00:20:46.84
It comes before
give glory to Him.
00:20:46.94\00:20:48.01
It comes before
the out of judgment.
00:20:48.08\00:20:49.08
It comes before worship Him.
00:20:49.31\00:20:50.91
It comes first.
00:20:51.05\00:20:52.01
And yet is the thing that
motivates all of those other
00:20:52.21\00:20:55.45
statements in
Revelation chapter.
00:20:55.45\00:20:56.95
He is.
00:20:57.35\00:20:59.09
He is.
00:20:59.12\00:20:59.95
I'm just like, yes, this is it.
00:21:00.06\00:21:02.02
The gospel is central.
00:21:04.49\00:21:06.26
It is.
00:21:06.39\00:21:06.80
It has to be central.
00:21:07.03\00:21:08.26
And historically now, I
know we're talking to a mixed
00:21:08.46\00:21:10.60
audience, but historically,
this is the 1888 message.
00:21:10.60\00:21:14.10
This is the message that God
will, to get that gospel front
00:21:14.27\00:21:17.34
and center.
00:21:17.34\00:21:20.18
follow, right?
00:21:20.18\00:21:21.24
We taught the law of God until
we were as dry as the hills of
00:21:21.44\00:21:24.11
Gilboa.
00:21:24.11\00:21:24.65
That doesn't mean we toss it.
00:21:24.98\00:21:25.98
We want it up there.
00:21:26.05\00:21:27.32
But the only way to get it
up there is to lift up Jesus.
00:21:27.55\00:21:30.29
That's right.
00:21:30.32\00:21:30.99
To make Him the power.
00:21:31.02\00:21:32.25
That's right.
00:21:32.75\00:21:33.46
And assurance, 1 Thessalonians,
our message comes with much
00:21:33.96\00:21:37.36
assurance.
00:21:37.36\00:21:37.79
Jesus needed assurance.
00:21:37.93\00:21:38.96
Are you the Son of God?
00:21:39.26\00:21:40.20
Are you the Son of God?
00:21:40.20\00:21:41.30
Turn these stones
into bread, the devil says.
00:21:41.53\00:21:43.33
Prove you the Son
of God by what you do.
00:21:44.17\00:21:45.73
Prove you're an
Adventist by what you do.
00:21:45.80\00:21:47.37
Now wait a minute, Jesus says,
I just heard the voice at the
00:21:47.77\00:21:51.21
baptism.
00:21:51.21\00:21:51.77
God said, this
is my beloved Son.
00:21:52.01\00:21:53.17
I'm going to believe His Word.
00:21:53.38\00:21:54.71
I'm not going to do something
to prove I'm an Adventist.
00:21:55.01\00:21:57.11
I'm a Christian.
00:21:57.11\00:21:57.55
I'm saved.
00:21:57.58\00:21:58.05
I want to believe what God said.
00:21:58.38\00:21:59.31
God says, I'm His Son, right?
00:21:59.35\00:22:01.52
I'm not going to do anything
to try to prove I'm His Son.
00:22:01.78\00:22:03.62
Jesus had to deal with that and
He needed the assurance of the
00:22:03.92\00:22:06.79
Word of God.
00:22:06.79\00:22:07.62
This is my Son in
whom I'm well pleased.
00:22:07.62\00:22:09.46
We need assurance of salvation.
00:22:09.56\00:22:11.09
Steps to Christ, the 1888 book,
one of the chapters in there,
00:22:11.43\00:22:14.46
the last chapter,
what to do with doubt.
00:22:14.46\00:22:17.20
That chapter could be
called assurance of salvation.
00:22:17.87\00:22:20.50
It's all through that chapter.
00:22:20.87\00:22:22.34
You read that chapter,
it's all through that chapter.
00:22:22.64\00:22:24.31
I think one of the things
that happens again with us as
00:22:25.44\00:22:30.08
Adventists is that we don't
have that assurance because,
00:22:30.08\00:22:35.52
again, we're not
focused on the Gospel.
00:22:35.68\00:22:37.82
Yeah, I don't mean like
everybody, but I'm just saying
00:22:38.32\00:22:40.89
many don't have that assurance.
00:22:40.89\00:22:43.19
I love 1 John 5.
00:22:43.46\00:22:46.26
Let's start with verse 11, and
this is the testimony that God
00:22:47.50\00:22:50.13
has given us eternal life,
and this life is in His Son.
00:22:50.13\00:22:53.84
He who has the Son has life.
00:22:54.24\00:22:56.00
He who does not have the
Son of God does not have life.
00:22:56.27\00:22:58.97
Then verse 13, these things
I've written to you who believe
00:22:59.47\00:23:03.28
in the name of the Son of God
that you may know that you have
00:23:03.28\00:23:08.18
eternal life and that you may
continue to believe in the name
00:23:08.18\00:23:12.45
of the Son of God.
00:23:12.45\00:23:13.56
We have eternal life.
00:23:14.29\00:23:15.99
As long as we are plugged in,
as long as we abide in Christ,
00:23:15.99\00:23:19.66
John 15, we can do
anything without abiding in Him.
00:23:19.79\00:23:24.97
We can't do anything.
00:23:25.17\00:23:26.23
And we need to know
that so that we can continue.
00:23:26.23\00:23:28.67
Continue.
00:23:28.94\00:23:31.94
that's the problem
with a lot of Adventists.
00:23:31.94\00:23:33.14
They're not continuing anywhere.
00:23:33.14\00:23:34.18
We do evangelism, we circle the
world, make one cross light and
00:23:34.54\00:23:37.48
two fold the child of hell
because what do children of
00:23:37.48\00:23:40.28
hell know?
00:23:40.28\00:23:40.75
Do the devils know
that Jesus is coming again?
00:23:41.42\00:23:44.19
Yeah.
00:23:44.95\00:23:46.32
Yeah.
00:23:46.59\00:23:50.06
we're doing with people.
00:23:50.06\00:23:51.03
We're giving them all this
information and we're making
00:23:51.23\00:23:53.23
them tremble because
they don't know Jesus.
00:23:53.23\00:23:54.60
We're giving them
rules without relationship.
00:23:54.93\00:23:56.87
Right.
00:23:56.97\00:23:57.70
That's where God
wants us to get to.
00:23:57.83\00:23:59.07
That's good.
00:23:59.07\00:24:02.40
especially to our church.
00:24:02.40\00:24:03.97
It's in the first
Corinthians chapter 13.
00:24:04.34\00:24:07.41
Listen as I speak and
you'll see where it hits us.
00:24:08.04\00:24:11.65
Though I speak with the tongues
of men and angels and have not
00:24:12.11\00:24:15.35
charity or love, I'm become
a sounding breath or a tinkling
00:24:15.35\00:24:18.82
symbol.
00:24:18.82\00:24:19.39
And though I have
the gift of prophecy.
00:24:19.95\00:24:23.29
That sounds interesting.
00:24:24.26\00:24:25.39
Though I have the gift of
prophecy and understand all
00:24:25.79\00:24:29.63
mysteries and all knowledge and
though I have all faith so that
00:24:29.63\00:24:33.64
I could remove mountains
and have not love, I am nothing.
00:24:33.64\00:24:37.14
So what's happening says though
I go and feed, give all my
00:24:37.54\00:24:40.68
goods to feed the poor and I
give my body to be burned and
00:24:40.68\00:24:45.45
have not love, it
profiteth me nothing.
00:24:45.45\00:24:48.58
Charity is long suffering.
00:24:48.98\00:24:51.05
So here it is, we have the
gift, we say as a church, we
00:24:51.49\00:24:55.02
have the gift of prophecy
unlocking the keys of Daniel
00:24:55.02\00:24:58.03
and Revelation.
00:24:58.03\00:24:58.73
End times message
for an end times people.
00:24:59.09\00:25:01.20
But the Lord is saying here.
00:25:01.83\00:25:03.20
So when I look at our own
church and I look at Facebook
00:25:03.53\00:25:07.47
and I see Adventists arguing
with Adventists on public
00:25:07.47\00:25:11.64
forums and people getting angry
if you don't agree with what
00:25:11.64\00:25:16.41
they say.
00:25:16.41\00:25:21.52
me personally and tell us how
terrible that we shouldn't have
00:25:21.52\00:25:25.55
said certain things or
we're leaning whatever.
00:25:25.55\00:25:28.49
But that's all part of it.
00:25:28.49\00:25:30.86
I mean, honestly, you
can do that after 40 years.
00:25:30.96\00:25:33.56
It's like, I don't know if I
don't care anymore about that,
00:25:34.00\00:25:37.30
when somebody gets onto you or
condemns you or I'm just like,
00:25:37.37\00:25:41.30
okay, I don't really care
because I'm doing what God's
00:25:41.50\00:25:44.61
asked me to do.
00:25:44.61\00:25:45.31
Do I make mistakes?
00:25:45.54\00:25:46.54
Absolutely.
00:25:46.78\00:25:47.24
Well, I continue.
00:25:47.61\00:25:48.44
But by the grace of God,
the first thing before we can do
00:25:48.81\00:25:53.28
any good for anyone is we have
to accept the love of God and
00:25:53.28\00:25:57.52
then go and do what he's asked
us to do and that's to share
00:25:57.52\00:26:01.39
our testimony.
00:26:01.39\00:26:02.19
That's to love people.
00:26:02.32\00:26:03.63
So he's saying, we can
know all of these at 2,300 days.
00:26:03.83\00:26:07.86
We can know all
of these prophecies.
00:26:08.00\00:26:09.90
But if we don't
love people, we're out.
00:26:10.00\00:26:13.10
I mean, we literally
have missed the whole boat.
00:26:13.40\00:26:15.94
We had a few
other little questions.
00:26:16.17\00:26:17.57
Maybe we should...
00:26:17.87\00:26:18.41
Well, this one's to you.
00:26:18.41\00:26:20.21
Danny, what's your next book?
00:26:20.41\00:26:22.01
Oh, what's my next book?
00:26:22.68\00:26:23.98
Well, actually, what I'm
thinking about is it'll be our
00:26:24.18\00:26:27.08
next book, but really it's just
what we're talking about here.
00:26:27.08\00:26:30.72
I think maybe the everlasting
gospel because we don't really
00:26:30.85\00:26:34.96
understand that many of us as
a church and what I love about
00:26:34.96\00:26:38.16
this woman, I can
tell you, she is so humble.
00:26:38.16\00:26:40.76
She studies every
day, gets up early.
00:26:41.06\00:26:43.16
She studies the
Bible, but she's open.
00:26:43.26\00:26:45.90
She's not one of these people
who says, wait, you can't teach
00:26:46.20\00:26:49.14
me.
00:26:49.14\00:26:49.47
No, I know this.
00:26:49.57\00:26:50.57
This is what I've been taught.
00:26:50.74\00:26:51.91
She's always reading.
00:26:52.17\00:26:53.34
She's ever learning.
00:26:53.98\00:26:55.14
And I appreciate about that.
00:26:55.14\00:26:57.15
And she brings that to me.
00:26:57.35\00:26:58.98
Well, honey, what do
you think about this?
00:26:59.21\00:27:00.85
What do you think about that?
00:27:01.12\00:27:02.42
So in spite of whether I want
to learn or not, it's got me...
00:27:02.85\00:27:06.86
That's right.
00:27:06.86\00:27:07.39
That's right.
00:27:07.69\00:27:12.06
better study into that and see.
00:27:12.06\00:27:13.80
So thank you.
00:27:14.46\00:27:16.13
We do that.
00:27:16.16\00:27:17.00
Of course.
00:27:17.00\00:27:19.63
My wife's the same way, though.
00:27:19.63\00:27:20.80
Up early in the morning, a
Bible open, reading, studying.
00:27:20.80\00:27:23.54
I mean, honey, honey, I
want to share this with you.
00:27:23.54\00:27:24.84
I want to share this with you.
00:27:24.84\00:27:28.18
to share with me or I'm going
to share with you this time.
00:27:28.18\00:27:29.61
You got anything?
00:27:29.68\00:27:30.41
Yeah, go ahead.
00:27:30.48\00:27:31.18
I'm all ears.
00:27:31.58\00:27:32.38
I'm like, wow.
00:27:32.58\00:27:33.92
Wow.
00:27:34.82\00:27:37.69
Sabbath School panel this week.
00:27:37.69\00:27:39.55
They asked her to
do a couple of lessons.
00:27:39.85\00:27:41.12
And she, one of them, she was
assigned both of them, but one
00:27:41.99\00:27:44.09
that she was assigned was, you
know, just the story of the Old
00:27:44.09\00:27:51.13
Testament story of Esther.
00:27:51.13\00:27:52.90
And it was incredible
what she did with that.
00:27:54.30\00:27:56.44
And, you know, everyone has
their own little perspective,
00:27:56.54\00:27:58.81
the way they approach truth.
00:27:58.94\00:28:00.38
You know, and that's why
it's so important for us to
00:28:00.51\00:28:02.41
recognize.
00:28:02.41\00:28:02.91
I love that about 3ABN.
00:28:02.98\00:28:04.08
3ABN facilitates ministries,
not just the people that are
00:28:04.35\00:28:08.02
here.
00:28:08.02\00:28:10.72
coming in because we're
reaching the world with the
00:28:10.72\00:28:14.12
Three Angels
messages, the undiluted message.
00:28:14.12\00:28:16.09
And that message is going to
reach people, different people
00:28:16.32\00:28:19.89
with different personalities.
00:28:19.89\00:28:21.00
Everyone's got a different
audience that they're reaching,
00:28:21.00\00:28:23.53
they're touching, right?
00:28:23.63\00:28:24.47
And so Reese comes with this
stuff, and I'm just like, wow,
00:28:24.87\00:28:27.17
you know?
00:28:27.24\00:28:31.14
School because she has a
summary on Revelation 13 and
00:28:31.14\00:28:33.44
said, that was so
good, can I have that?
00:28:33.44\00:28:35.38
You know, tonight we
might need something like that.
00:28:35.58\00:28:36.91
So everyone has
something to contribute.
00:28:37.31\00:28:39.68
On a little lighter note, you
don't see me, I did a few back,
00:28:40.98\00:28:45.92
you know, two or three years
ago, a year or two ago, I'd do
00:28:45.92\00:28:48.49
some of the Sabbath
School panel, but people have
00:28:48.49\00:28:52.06
different gifts.
00:28:52.06\00:28:52.83
And when I sit in there and I'm
sitting with Shelly, with Jill,
00:28:53.33\00:28:57.33
Pastor James, Pastor John, you
know, and you're going down the
00:28:57.97\00:29:01.97
list, it's like I feel like,
you know what, I'm really out
00:29:01.97\00:29:04.97
in the wrong place right now.
00:29:04.97\00:29:06.68
I think I'm better off, let
me do what I do best and I'll go
00:29:07.38\00:29:11.48
do this.
00:29:11.48\00:29:12.28
You bring your
own perspective too.
00:29:12.28\00:29:12.31
Yeah, but I don't fit in that,
you know, and you got Daniel
00:29:13.52\00:29:16.25
Perrin, you got Brother Kenny,
you got all these people and
00:29:16.25\00:29:18.85
I'd say, I think I'm fine not
to be on that one because I'm
00:29:18.85\00:29:22.29
not nearly as organized and I
just, out it goes and everybody
00:29:22.29\00:29:26.36
has got it, you know,
it's incredible programming.
00:29:26.36\00:29:28.96
Thank you for what you do.
00:29:29.13\00:29:30.27
We're so blessed.
00:29:31.20\00:29:32.23
This last, just for our
viewers, this last quarter that
00:29:32.33\00:29:35.24
we just did, Illusions,
Symbols, let's see, Illusion,
00:29:35.24\00:29:40.21
Images, and
Symbols, such a hard title.
00:29:40.31\00:29:42.78
Illusions, Images, Symbols,
How to Study Bible Prophecy,
00:29:43.08\00:29:46.61
excellent stuff, just really
good presentations over and
00:29:46.98\00:29:50.05
over again.
00:29:50.05\00:29:50.55
It was such a blessing.
00:29:50.62\00:29:51.32
Amen.
00:29:51.92\00:29:53.29
We talked about a
break we wanted to do first.
00:29:53.42\00:29:55.56
I don't know, people had called.
00:29:55.89\00:29:57.09
One is how many
resurrections will there be?
00:29:57.83\00:30:00.60
Two.
00:30:01.33\00:30:01.70
Two.
00:30:01.93\00:30:02.36
Yep, righteous and the wicked.
00:30:02.63\00:30:03.43
Now there's a
special resurrection.
00:30:03.50\00:30:04.90
Someone asked this question and
they said, well, if there's a
00:30:05.03\00:30:07.37
special resurrection of
those who pierced Christ when He
00:30:07.37\00:30:10.81
comes, isn't that
three resurrections?
00:30:10.81\00:30:12.31
And I said, no, it's not
three resurrections because they
00:30:12.31\00:30:15.08
resurrect with the righteous.
00:30:15.08\00:30:16.68
They're slain after Jesus
comes, after they see Him,
00:30:17.18\00:30:20.68
those who pierced Him, and then
they're resurrected with the
00:30:20.68\00:30:23.05
wicked.
00:30:23.05\00:30:26.09
resurrections, the resurrection
of the righteous, the
00:30:26.09\00:30:27.89
resurrection of the wicked.
00:30:27.89\00:30:28.66
Okay, here's a question.
00:30:29.32\00:30:31.09
I'm interested in this.
00:30:31.59\00:30:32.89
All right.
00:30:33.36\00:30:37.17
the gender
surgeries on children?
00:30:37.17\00:30:39.40
Absolutely.
00:30:41.37\00:30:41.90
I think that's child abuse.
00:30:42.30\00:30:43.61
I'm just going to
be honest with you.
00:30:43.61\00:30:44.87
I don't think children, when I
was a kid, I used to think that
00:30:45.17\00:30:47.91
Santa Claus came
down the chimney.
00:30:47.91\00:30:49.21
We had chimneys, we had an old
1889 house in London, England,
00:30:49.31\00:30:52.28
and we had chimneys in every
room, including the kitchen,
00:30:52.65\00:30:54.72
and my mom told me Santa
Claus comes down, I leave them
00:30:54.72\00:30:54.75
cookies and milk, blah, blah,
blah, and the presents were all
00:30:56.75\00:30:59.69
there the next morning.
00:30:59.69\00:31:00.39
I was like, Santa Claus, yay!
00:31:00.46\00:31:01.79
So, you know, I'm so glad,
I heard one person say I'm so
00:31:02.49\00:31:06.36
glad that I didn't believe I
was a pirate when I was a kid,
00:31:06.36\00:31:08.46
and they didn't give me a peg
leg, you know, and put a hook
00:31:08.53\00:31:11.77
on my right.
00:31:11.77\00:31:17.41
there.
00:31:17.41\00:31:20.31
and parents are letting them
mutilate their bodies, and so
00:31:20.61\00:31:23.04
many of these young kids regret
it when they come of age, one
00:31:23.04\00:31:27.32
after another after another,
and there's testimony after
00:31:27.32\00:31:29.12
testimony after testimony.
00:31:29.12\00:31:30.02
You know, they ban it in Europe.
00:31:30.19\00:31:31.29
They don't do it
anymore in Europe.
00:31:31.99\00:31:33.22
They're ahead of us.
00:31:33.22\00:31:34.16
Europeans are ahead of us.
00:31:34.42\00:31:35.36
In Europe, you get
McDonald's fries, they have five
00:31:35.69\00:31:37.56
ingredients, here they have 11,
and I'll tell you, those other
00:31:37.56\00:31:40.13
six are not good for you.
00:31:40.13\00:31:41.46
They're ahead of us.
00:31:41.86\00:31:43.00
We need to catch up, but
it's biblical, I believe it.
00:31:43.03\00:31:44.57
What do you think about that,
make America healthy again?
00:31:44.57\00:31:47.27
Make America healthy again,
so we have a piano thing in our
00:31:47.37\00:31:50.94
house, it's a Yamaha, and
I covered up the Y and the A,
00:31:50.94\00:31:55.08
Maha, Maha.
00:31:55.91\00:31:56.85
Make America healthy again.
00:31:56.85\00:31:58.01
Yeah, we are loving that,
absolutely loving that, and of
00:31:58.01\00:32:00.88
course, they're making
Kennedy out to be a crazy guy.
00:32:00.88\00:32:03.32
I love the fact that
he's working together.
00:32:03.72\00:32:05.55
See, that's what we need.
00:32:05.62\00:32:06.55
We need to come across these
lifelong Democrats, working
00:32:06.82\00:32:10.36
together.
00:32:10.36\00:32:10.86
That's what we need, right?
00:32:11.03\00:32:12.16
And he has the
health of Americans.
00:32:12.26\00:32:14.86
He's not against facts, he's
not against, you know, good,
00:32:15.10\00:32:17.93
proven health methods, but he
is against all these additives
00:32:18.10\00:32:21.47
that these tobacco companies
have bought out these food
00:32:21.47\00:32:26.24
companies and put in these
addictive substances into our
00:32:26.24\00:32:30.41
foods, and now we're addicted
to all this terrible stuff that
00:32:30.41\00:32:33.01
isn't even good for us.
00:32:33.01\00:32:33.75
There wasn't even
our shelves 20 years ago.
00:32:34.02\00:32:35.48
Exactly.
00:32:35.72\00:32:36.12
So I love it.
00:32:36.12\00:32:38.99
Okay.
00:32:39.59\00:32:44.86
powerful.
00:32:44.86\00:32:45.23
So powerful.
00:32:45.23\00:32:46.13
That we allow things in
this country that Europe won't
00:32:46.39\00:32:50.47
allow, and our food companies
make different, like cereal.
00:32:50.47\00:32:55.24
For them.
00:32:55.24\00:32:55.57
For them.
00:32:55.57\00:32:56.44
Different.
00:32:56.50\00:32:57.01
Including Kellogg's.
00:32:57.04\00:32:57.57
And give us the garbage.
00:32:57.57\00:32:58.61
Give us the garbage.
00:32:58.71\00:32:59.94
And our people are sick.
00:32:59.94\00:33:01.38
You allergic to gluten, you go
over to Europe, you can eat it
00:33:01.38\00:33:04.11
all you want.
00:33:04.11\00:33:04.61
We eat all you want over there.
00:33:05.08\00:33:07.58
Because it's not the same.
00:33:07.62\00:33:08.62
It's not the same.
00:33:08.62\00:33:09.62
They don't have the GMO,
they don't have the chemicals
00:33:09.78\00:33:11.19
they're putting on.
00:33:11.19\00:33:11.85
The red dye, they
just got that out.
00:33:11.99\00:33:12.95
That's been banned
out of cosmetics forever.
00:33:12.95\00:33:12.99
Yeah.
00:33:16.26\00:33:16.46
It's cancer causing.
00:33:16.79\00:33:17.63
It's cancer.
00:33:17.69\00:33:18.46
All of these things, all these
different additives, we have
00:33:18.93\00:33:21.36
over 10,000 or more
additives in our foods.
00:33:21.36\00:33:27.27
What do our bodies do with that?
00:33:27.50\00:33:29.87
It's unnatural.
00:33:31.34\00:33:32.24
It is.
00:33:32.44\00:33:34.41
So tying this into Revelation
18, the merchants of the earth,
00:33:34.91\00:33:38.25
the great men of the earth, the
merchandise isn't sold anymore,
00:33:38.58\00:33:41.38
you know?
00:33:41.55\00:33:41.78
Yes.
00:33:41.78\00:33:44.12
Yes, yes.
00:33:44.29\00:33:47.52
the gender surgeries.
00:33:47.52\00:33:48.66
Isn't it interesting how we
take certain euphemisms like,
00:33:48.76\00:33:53.09
they sound so nice,
gender affirming care.
00:33:53.19\00:33:55.63
Yes.
00:33:55.70\00:33:56.20
No, it's mutilation.
00:33:56.20\00:33:57.37
It's mutilation.
00:33:57.43\00:33:57.93
It's childish.
00:33:58.27\00:33:58.80
Childhood mutilation.
00:33:58.80\00:33:59.80
We think we change the words
and we're changing what we're
00:34:00.74\00:34:03.37
doing to them.
00:34:03.37\00:34:03.97
Exactly.
00:34:04.57\00:34:04.87
And it's irreversible.
00:34:05.14\00:34:05.87
People support it.
00:34:06.98\00:34:07.44
People support it.
00:34:07.44\00:34:11.45
through.
00:34:11.45\00:34:14.12
to make that decision, okay,
that's your decision, right?
00:34:14.12\00:34:16.69
Exactly.
00:34:16.82\00:34:17.32
But kids?
00:34:17.39\00:34:18.09
No.
00:34:18.32\00:34:18.82
The brains aren't formed yet.
00:34:19.02\00:34:20.22
We don't let kids vote at eight.
00:34:20.82\00:34:24.06
Or drink alcohol.
00:34:24.09\00:34:24.93
Or ten.
00:34:24.99\00:34:25.16
Or smoke.
00:34:25.63\00:34:26.29
Or drive cars.
00:34:27.30\00:34:28.13
Right.
00:34:28.13\00:34:28.66
Why?
00:34:28.86\00:34:29.26
It's dangerous.
00:34:29.40\00:34:30.07
And they, we have to oversee
what decisions they make until
00:34:31.10\00:34:36.74
they're wise enough to
make their own decisions.
00:34:36.74\00:34:40.18
Eighteen, I know that there
was one kind of famous couple,
00:34:40.34\00:34:44.85
they're divorced, but the
father, the child is trans and
00:34:45.35\00:34:50.52
the father wanted the
boy to have the surgery.
00:34:50.52\00:34:55.39
And the mother's
saying, no, not until he's 18.
00:34:55.49\00:34:58.33
When he's 18, he can do it.
00:34:58.66\00:35:00.30
And they're making the
mother look like a villain.
00:35:00.33\00:35:03.13
Yeah.
00:35:03.13\00:35:03.77
She's a hero.
00:35:04.10\00:35:06.53
They also don't like when
people say, well, they want to
00:35:07.17\00:35:13.64
de -transition.
00:35:13.64\00:35:14.54
So, like a woman who has
transitioned into the male,
00:35:15.08\00:35:22.18
which a woman cannot become
a man, but you know what I'm
00:35:22.52\00:35:24.75
saying.
00:35:24.75\00:35:31.09
to come back to where they were.
00:35:31.09\00:35:33.16
And when they do that,
the media is dogging them.
00:35:34.20\00:35:37.37
So, one woman said, I was a
hero when I was going to have
00:35:38.07\00:35:41.60
the surgery and all that, and
now nobody wants to talk to me.
00:35:41.60\00:35:45.61
Because you looked at, when
you de-transition, you're not
00:35:45.94\00:35:49.08
popular anymore.
00:35:49.08\00:35:50.25
Exactly.
00:35:50.51\00:35:51.08
Because they have
a political agenda.
00:35:51.41\00:35:52.71
They don't care
about the people.
00:35:52.78\00:35:54.72
That's right.
00:35:54.72\00:35:55.38
It's an agenda.
00:35:55.38\00:35:55.98
And this, again,
is biblical, right?
00:35:56.25\00:35:58.69
It's wrong, and wrong is right.
00:35:59.15\00:36:00.86
You know,
people are saying evil.
00:36:01.12\00:36:02.66
And we do need to speak up.
00:36:02.66\00:36:04.09
Yeah.
00:36:04.09\00:36:04.53
Come on.
00:36:04.53\00:36:05.03
We're Christians.
00:36:05.23\00:36:05.89
We understand these principles.
00:36:06.09\00:36:07.20
They're important.
00:36:07.46\00:36:07.96
That's right.
00:36:08.30\00:36:10.93
And we can answer them or
not answer them if you feel
00:36:12.23\00:36:14.70
uncomfortable with it.
00:36:14.70\00:36:15.77
Was it right to do away with
DEI and critical race theory?
00:36:16.71\00:36:20.78
I think so.
00:36:21.14\00:36:22.31
And I'll tell you why because
I think it's racism in reverse.
00:36:22.38\00:36:24.51
Now, I say that as someone who
was raised in, you know, my mom
00:36:25.31\00:36:29.05
was white, my dad is black, and
I went through a lot of stuff
00:36:29.05\00:36:33.92
like that.
00:36:33.92\00:36:36.16
your dad's black.
00:36:36.16\00:36:37.66
You can give this
because your dad's black.
00:36:37.69\00:36:38.76
And I was like, I just want
to be hired, and I just want to
00:36:38.93\00:36:42.00
work, and I just
want to do for who I am.
00:36:42.00\00:36:44.30
For me.
00:36:44.30\00:36:48.50
that.
00:36:48.50\00:36:50.71
It's the same way I lived with
my religion, you know, Catholic
00:36:50.97\00:36:54.51
religion.
00:36:54.51\00:36:57.35
she was in a, you know, a home
that was run by Catholic nuns
00:36:57.35\00:37:00.85
and she was abused and she went
through a process with that and
00:37:00.85\00:37:03.05
they wanted to, you know, give
her, so they gave her money and
00:37:03.05\00:37:05.62
they offered four years of
college to my, her kids, to my
00:37:05.62\00:37:09.52
sister and to me.
00:37:09.52\00:37:10.03
And my sister took them.
00:37:10.19\00:37:10.99
I said, no, thanks.
00:37:11.03\00:37:11.73
I said, God has
taken care of me.
00:37:12.23\00:37:14.73
He has helped me get through
the impact of my mom's abuse on
00:37:14.93\00:37:19.13
me, right?
00:37:19.13\00:37:19.73
All those things.
00:37:19.73\00:37:20.60
He's the one I look to, right?
00:37:20.87\00:37:22.17
I'm not looking to, I'm
not looking for reparations.
00:37:22.27\00:37:23.97
I'm not looking for
any of that kind of stuff.
00:37:24.07\00:37:25.54
I'm looking to God.
00:37:25.61\00:37:26.44
And I think God can
make any and every one of us.
00:37:26.68\00:37:29.64
We don't have to
rely on governments.
00:37:29.71\00:37:30.85
So as far as Christians go,
you know, this is a fine line
00:37:31.08\00:37:34.12
because sometimes, you know,
we're talking about political
00:37:34.12\00:37:37.22
issues that might, you know, we
might be crossing the line here
00:37:37.22\00:37:40.86
into secular mindset.
00:37:40.86\00:37:42.59
I don't want to go there.
00:37:42.59\00:37:43.46
I'm just talking
about Christians.
00:37:43.66\00:37:44.66
God is the source.
00:37:45.06\00:37:45.96
He takes care of us.
00:37:45.96\00:37:47.13
And I think that when you're
hiring people because of their
00:37:47.36\00:37:49.90
color, this, that, and the
other, I think that's kind of a
00:37:49.90\00:37:51.83
form of racism in a sense
because you're giving them an
00:37:51.83\00:37:54.97
advantage.
00:37:54.97\00:37:55.54
Maybe they're not qualified.
00:37:55.64\00:37:56.60
Maybe they don't
have the qualifications.
00:37:56.71\00:37:58.21
Let's let everyone have
equal ground right here, right?
00:37:58.74\00:38:01.68
I think that's
an important thing.
00:38:01.81\00:38:03.24
Just a level playing field.
00:38:03.71\00:38:05.51
And the idea of meritocracy
I think is important because if
00:38:05.91\00:38:10.05
it's not, then that's kind
of racism in, you know, with
00:38:10.05\00:38:14.19
diminished expectations.
00:38:14.19\00:38:15.72
So I don't expect as much
of you because of your race.
00:38:16.09\00:38:19.83
No.
00:38:20.16\00:38:21.56
Absolutely.
00:38:22.03\00:38:27.50
certain level of competence and
competence and competence knows
00:38:27.50\00:38:32.11
no color.
00:38:32.11\00:38:32.94
And so if the problem is in the
competence, let's get back to
00:38:34.28\00:38:37.78
education.
00:38:37.78\00:38:38.25
Let's get back to our schools.
00:38:38.48\00:38:39.51
Let's get back
to the foundation.
00:38:39.51\00:38:41.48
I mean, I really
appreciated Ben Carson.
00:38:41.75\00:38:43.42
That is his emphasis.
00:38:43.79\00:38:45.09
That's the
ministry he's doing, right?
00:38:45.12\00:38:46.72
Trying to get people educated.
00:38:46.92\00:38:47.89
That's where he came from.
00:38:47.96\00:38:48.96
Reading books.
00:38:48.96\00:38:48.99
A student.
00:38:52.03\00:38:52.59
That's right.
00:38:52.63\00:38:53.03
That's right.
00:38:53.03\00:38:54.36
What did he do?
00:38:54.46\00:38:54.96
He got educated.
00:38:55.06\00:38:56.03
That is what really needs
to be accessible to everyone.
00:38:56.36\00:38:59.17
That's right.
00:38:59.17\00:39:03.84
I looked up because I was going
to talk about DEI in one of the
00:39:03.84\00:39:08.21
sermons and I looked to the NBA
and they openly say they're not
00:39:08.21\00:39:13.18
a part of.
00:39:13.18\00:39:14.12
They don't recognize DEI
because I said, well, look, I'm
00:39:14.32\00:39:20.36
5 '8 with my shoes on.
00:39:20.36\00:39:21.39
You know it's coming.
00:39:21.69\00:39:22.66
I'm 5'8 with my shoes on.
00:39:22.66\00:39:22.69
I'm white.
00:39:24.29\00:39:24.73
I'm 73 years old.
00:39:25.03\00:39:26.63
So wouldn't that give me a
position as a starting guard in
00:39:27.40\00:39:31.43
some NBA team if DEI really
works and it's to bring the
00:39:31.43\00:39:36.24
minorities that, you know,
so whether you're qualified or
00:39:36.24\00:39:39.84
not.
00:39:39.84\00:39:42.98
So I just looked up and looked
and it actually says, well, the
00:39:43.35\00:39:47.65
NBA doesn't go by that because
they need tall people and they
00:39:47.65\00:39:51.05
need whatever it's like.
00:39:51.05\00:39:52.09
Wait a minute.
00:39:52.22\00:39:56.22
diversity, equity and inclusion
because most of the ball
00:39:56.22\00:39:59.53
players are 90,
85, 90% are black.
00:39:59.53\00:40:02.13
But on that, but on other
things you're supposed to.
00:40:02.26\00:40:05.07
So I thought, you know, how
this world is, it's so messed
00:40:05.07\00:40:08.80
up.
00:40:08.80\00:40:12.74
or not and balance is
what we really need to go to.
00:40:12.74\00:40:17.78
And the only way we can have
any balance at all is to go to
00:40:17.85\00:40:21.25
the Bible.
00:40:21.25\00:40:21.78
And that has to be our
foundation, our foundations on
00:40:22.52\00:40:25.52
the Bible.
00:40:25.52\00:40:29.52
be perfect?
00:40:29.52\00:40:30.06
Is everybody going to be happy?
00:40:30.23\00:40:31.83
No.
00:40:31.96\00:40:32.36
That's why we need a savior.
00:40:32.63\00:40:34.10
That's why the Lord's coming
back to destroy it, recreate a
00:40:34.30\00:40:37.80
new heaven and a new earth that
where we can live forever and
00:40:37.80\00:40:41.97
love will rule.
00:40:41.97\00:40:43.57
We wrote a kids
song a few years ago.
00:40:43.91\00:40:45.61
I wrote, says love rules.
00:40:45.67\00:40:47.41
Amen.
00:40:47.64\00:40:49.81
Amen.
00:40:49.91\00:40:50.48
I can't believe we're down.
00:40:50.58\00:40:51.48
We've got like 15 minutes left.
00:40:51.58\00:40:53.42
I know, I know.
00:40:53.42\00:40:54.25
What other questions?
00:40:54.35\00:40:55.28
Did you look
through some of these?
00:40:55.32\00:40:56.42
Here's one.
00:40:56.42\00:40:56.45
after that?
00:41:01.26\00:41:02.02
So the state of the dead is one
of the two most controversial
00:41:02.79\00:41:06.66
issues that we're
dealing with in these last days.
00:41:06.66\00:41:08.63
The Sabbath and
the state of the dead.
00:41:09.10\00:41:10.30
The state of the dead in the
way that that question is asked
00:41:10.60\00:41:13.23
is actually
leads to spiritualism.
00:41:13.23\00:41:15.34
The idea that when you die, you
don't really die was the first
00:41:15.90\00:41:19.67
lie that Satan told
in the Garden of Eden.
00:41:19.67\00:41:22.08
Surely you, you
will not surely die.
00:41:22.41\00:41:24.45
That's why people don't like
to walk in the graveyard with a
00:41:24.61\00:41:26.88
full moon at midnight.
00:41:26.88\00:41:27.85
Because these people are dead,
but maybe they're not surely
00:41:28.12\00:41:29.78
dead.
00:41:29.78\00:41:30.05
The spirit's walking
around here and I will tell you,
00:41:30.95\00:41:33.39
coming out of a religious
belief that taught that into
00:41:33.39\00:41:38.23
Adventism that clarified that
from the Bible, that when you
00:41:38.23\00:41:42.96
die, it's a rest in the grave.
00:41:42.96\00:41:44.37
It's like a sleep.
00:41:44.47\00:41:45.43
Whoa!
00:41:46.17\00:41:46.70
That was so,
gave me so much peace.
00:41:47.00\00:41:49.30
I mean, I was, forget haunted
houses, forget scary movies,
00:41:50.01\00:41:52.91
forget all that kind of stuff.
00:41:53.01\00:41:53.91
That's all a bunch of garbage.
00:41:53.98\00:41:55.04
That stuff is of
the devil, right?
00:41:55.41\00:41:58.01
When you die, you die.
00:41:58.21\00:41:59.35
And it really helped me because
I recognized that, you know
00:41:59.55\00:42:03.02
what?
00:42:03.02\00:42:03.35
If I die and death is asleep,
the very next thing I know is
00:42:04.59\00:42:10.03
eternity.
00:42:10.03\00:42:10.43
That's right.
00:42:10.66\00:42:13.70
if I'm sleeping.
00:42:13.70\00:42:14.30
I mean, when I sleep, I'm out.
00:42:14.60\00:42:15.66
But doesn't the Bible say
that when a person dies, their
00:42:15.96\00:42:20.57
breath goes, their spirit
goes back to God who gave it?
00:42:20.57\00:42:23.27
I knew you were
going to bring that to me.
00:42:23.51\00:42:25.41
Didn't you know he was
going to bring that to me?
00:42:25.54\00:42:26.81
But isn't there
a verse somewhere?
00:42:27.24\00:42:29.18
Definitely.
00:42:30.85\00:42:34.92
It's not some kind
of living entity, right?
00:42:35.28\00:42:38.12
Because when God created us,
He created us out of the dust of
00:42:38.15\00:42:41.69
the earth and He breathed
into us the breath of life, the
00:42:41.69\00:42:43.59
spirit of life, and then we
became a living soul, right?
00:42:43.59\00:42:46.63
It's kind of like light.
00:42:46.76\00:42:48.33
These lights have two parts.
00:42:48.56\00:42:50.73
They have the hardware
with a bulb and, you know, the
00:42:51.07\00:42:54.87
fixture, and then
they have the power, right?
00:42:54.87\00:42:57.61
And when you flip that switch,
that power comes through and it
00:42:57.81\00:43:01.44
connects with the hardware and
then you have a light, right?
00:43:01.44\00:43:04.28
That's the living soul.
00:43:04.81\00:43:05.91
The living soul is the light.
00:43:05.98\00:43:07.05
It's not the hardware.
00:43:07.22\00:43:07.88
It's not the power.
00:43:08.38\00:43:09.48
The living soul is the light.
00:43:09.65\00:43:11.05
Now when you turn that power,
when you disconnect the spirit
00:43:11.55\00:43:14.02
from the
hardware, where's light go?
00:43:14.66\00:43:17.29
Where's that light going?
00:43:17.99\00:43:18.83
Did you take that
light home with you?
00:43:19.46\00:43:20.76
Where'd that light go?
00:43:20.96\00:43:21.63
It disappears.
00:43:22.53\00:43:23.37
It ceases to exist.
00:43:23.40\00:43:24.67
When you die, the
soul that sins, it dies.
00:43:25.00\00:43:27.30
It ceases to exist.
00:43:27.37\00:43:28.57
You say, well, how come then,
how does God like, how does
00:43:28.57\00:43:32.64
He...
00:43:32.64\00:43:33.68
Resurrection is bringing
those two back together.
00:43:33.68\00:43:35.41
You say, well,
how can God do that?
00:43:35.81\00:43:36.95
What if you, you
know, you're dust.
00:43:36.98\00:43:38.31
You ask us, how did God create
us in the first place, out of
00:43:38.31\00:43:38.35
the dust of the earth?
00:43:40.95\00:43:41.68
God can do, create
anything out of nothing.
00:43:42.25\00:43:45.02
I mean, that's the power of God.
00:43:45.12\00:43:47.62
He's going to bring
it all back together.
00:43:47.72\00:43:49.26
The only thing we're taking
to heaven is our personality.
00:43:49.49\00:43:51.86
And Danny, you're going to look
a lot nicer, a lot bigger, a
00:43:52.59\00:43:55.20
lot, you know, all these kinds
of things, but I'm going to
00:43:55.20\00:43:57.87
know who you are.
00:43:57.87\00:43:58.83
I'm going to know who you are.
00:43:59.50\00:44:00.74
I like Danny.
00:44:00.74\00:44:01.60
Danny, there he is.
00:44:01.84\00:44:02.97
I know it.
00:44:03.20\00:44:03.84
Look at, listen to this guy.
00:44:03.87\00:44:05.01
That's Danny
Shelton right there.
00:44:05.24\00:44:06.64
Absolutely.
00:44:06.68\00:44:07.14
Yeah.
00:44:07.98\00:44:08.24
Yeah.
00:44:08.24\00:44:08.74
It's our character.
00:44:08.74\00:44:08.78
All that stuff's gone.
00:44:11.05\00:44:12.01
All that stuff's gone.
00:44:12.31\00:44:13.08
So her question,
so what happens next?
00:44:13.15\00:44:16.22
So you die.
00:44:16.25\00:44:17.29
You say, it's the sleep.
00:44:17.52\00:44:19.72
It's not a live
conscious spirit.
00:44:19.85\00:44:21.52
You're not in a
cloud floating around.
00:44:21.96\00:44:23.59
You're not up in heaven.
00:44:23.69\00:44:24.49
Over and over again.
00:44:24.49\00:44:28.80
are in heaven and you
know, they're having a wonderful
00:44:28.80\00:44:31.17
time.
00:44:31.17\00:44:33.90
question.
00:44:33.90\00:44:34.40
What happens after that?
00:44:34.67\00:44:36.17
So they're asleep.
00:44:36.17\00:44:36.20
Then what happens?
00:44:37.64\00:44:38.77
The resurrection takes place
and the resurrection is the
00:44:39.27\00:44:41.74
bringing back together of the
life that is the spirit of God
00:44:41.74\00:44:44.71
with the body, right?
00:44:44.71\00:44:46.18
With the dust of the earth.
00:44:46.21\00:44:47.18
You have a scripture
that can explain that.
00:44:47.18\00:44:50.22
Yeah.
00:44:50.32\00:44:50.99
You've got tons of scriptures.
00:44:50.99\00:44:54.76
like to see if you
have a scripture there.
00:44:54.76\00:44:57.03
I'm acting on behalf of our
viewer here who's calling in
00:44:57.49\00:45:00.93
this question.
00:45:00.93\00:45:03.77
this is 1
Corinthians chapter 15.
00:45:03.77\00:45:05.37
It's so powerful because in
1 Corinthians chapter 15 God
00:45:06.10\00:45:10.34
identifies his enemy.
00:45:10.34\00:45:12.17
You know, the greatest
enemy of God we're told in 1
00:45:12.97\00:45:16.58
Corinthians, I'm in 2
Corinthians, 1 Corinthians 15
00:45:16.58\00:45:18.58
is death.
00:45:18.58\00:45:19.55
Death.
00:45:19.68\00:45:20.15
Right?
00:45:20.62\00:45:21.82
He's going to take out death.
00:45:21.82\00:45:22.88
And then he goes on to say
here in 1 Corinthians 15, 51,
00:45:23.22\00:45:25.75
Behold, I show you a mystery.
00:45:26.02\00:45:27.89
We shall not all sleep.
00:45:28.09\00:45:29.12
A mystery.
00:45:29.36\00:45:29.89
We shall all be changed.
00:45:29.89\00:45:29.92
We're not all asleep.
00:45:30.49\00:45:31.39
It's a mystery.
00:45:31.46\00:45:32.06
Good.
00:45:32.06\00:45:32.09
But we shall all be changed
in a moment, in the twinkling of
00:45:33.36\00:45:37.47
an eye.
00:45:37.47\00:45:39.07
A blink.
00:45:39.27\00:45:40.00
Do you know why God wants to
change this in the twinkling of
00:45:40.47\00:45:42.17
an eye?
00:45:42.17\00:45:42.60
Because he can't wait.
00:45:43.10\00:45:44.64
He's been waiting too long.
00:45:45.14\00:45:46.61
He's like, I'm doing
this and I'm doing it quick.
00:45:46.64\00:45:48.78
Right?
00:45:48.94\00:45:52.88
We're changing the
twinkling of an eye.
00:45:52.88\00:45:54.35
We're going to
come out of that grave.
00:45:54.58\00:45:55.45
We're not going to
see any of our old self.
00:45:55.58\00:45:57.22
It's all new.
00:45:57.62\00:45:58.62
In a moment, a twinkling
of an eye at the last Trump.
00:45:58.75\00:46:01.29
When?
00:46:01.49\00:46:01.96
At the last Trump.
00:46:02.76\00:46:03.69
Not when you die,
but at the last Trump.
00:46:04.29\00:46:06.70
Chapter 4.
00:46:06.70\00:46:06.73
At the last Trump, the dead
shall be raised incorruptible.
00:46:08.40\00:46:13.40
And we shall be
changed for this corruption.
00:46:14.94\00:46:17.37
Corruptible must
put on incorruption.
00:46:17.91\00:46:19.54
This mortal must
put on immortality.
00:46:19.64\00:46:22.14
Verse 54, So when this
corruptible shall have put on
00:46:22.14\00:46:25.31
incorruption and this mortal
shall have put on immortality,
00:46:25.31\00:46:28.22
then shall be brought to pass
the saying that it is written,
00:46:28.58\00:46:31.75
Death is
swallowed up in victory.
00:46:32.12\00:46:33.92
O death, where is thy sting?
00:46:34.16\00:46:35.69
O grave, where is thy victory?
00:46:35.72\00:46:38.09
That's why I'm so amazed that
when I'm at these funerals and
00:46:38.26\00:46:42.13
people will say, you know,
they're in heaven right now,
00:46:42.13\00:46:45.20
then they'll actually read.
00:46:45.33\00:46:46.80
You know, the dead in Christ
shall rise first and we which
00:46:46.97\00:46:50.01
are alive and remain.
00:46:50.01\00:46:50.97
Then it says, this
mortal must put on immortality.
00:46:51.11\00:46:53.61
And it's like, wait, what
is, if you're already in heaven,
00:46:53.78\00:46:57.08
because they'll say, oh,
well, the body is just a shell.
00:46:57.45\00:47:00.05
But wait, what is it?
00:47:00.42\00:47:01.65
It says, mortal
must put on immortality.
00:47:01.75\00:47:05.85
The corruption, incorruption.
00:47:07.09\00:47:08.96
Well, what is it?
00:47:09.06\00:47:10.09
If you're already in
heaven, it's already done.
00:47:10.66\00:47:13.23
Why is this
scriptures even in there?
00:47:13.73\00:47:15.63
I mean, it's so confusing.
00:47:15.83\00:47:17.93
The Bible is crystal
clear though, isn't it?
00:47:18.23\00:47:20.04
The Bible is crystal clear.
00:47:20.47\00:47:21.57
And they make death your friend.
00:47:21.84\00:47:24.27
And death is our enemy.
00:47:24.94\00:47:26.21
Jesus came to get rid of the
works of the devil, which death
00:47:27.18\00:47:32.08
is...
00:47:32.08\00:47:34.25
You know, what am
I gonna do with sin?
00:47:34.35\00:47:35.58
How am I gonna deal with this?
00:47:36.18\00:47:37.25
Am I gonna take
people right to heaven?
00:47:37.32\00:47:38.45
But then they're gonna see all
this stuff that's happening on
00:47:38.69\00:47:40.79
planet earth.
00:47:40.79\00:47:41.39
Am I gonna take
them right to punishment?
00:47:41.76\00:47:42.86
But that won't work out
either because then I got to...
00:47:42.92\00:47:46.16
Oh, I'll put them out.
00:47:46.16\00:47:47.76
I'll put them to sleep.
00:47:47.86\00:47:48.66
We'll take care of this all at
one time with the righteous and
00:47:49.23\00:47:51.93
all at one time with the wicked.
00:47:51.93\00:47:52.67
I'll just put them to sleep.
00:47:52.80\00:47:53.77
They're not even
gonna know what's going on.
00:47:53.80\00:47:55.34
You know, that's what's
happening to me next week.
00:47:55.60\00:47:56.97
I'm going to sleep.
00:47:56.97\00:47:57.01
out and I'm so
glad I'm gonna be out.
00:48:00.71\00:48:02.28
And an hour later, I'm gonna
wake up and everything's gonna
00:48:02.31\00:48:04.08
be good.
00:48:04.08\00:48:06.38
Yeah.
00:48:06.92\00:48:10.45
Jesus.
00:48:10.45\00:48:10.85
Yeah.
00:48:11.12\00:48:13.79
situation.
00:48:13.79\00:48:14.26
Yeah, that's true.
00:48:14.26\00:48:14.29
the family they leave behind.
00:48:17.63\00:48:18.93
Yes.
00:48:19.13\00:48:22.53
people that have no hope.
00:48:22.53\00:48:23.50
That's right.
00:48:23.53\00:48:24.13
We have a hope.
00:48:24.63\00:48:25.50
Yeah.
00:48:25.53\00:48:28.70
till he was 92 or three years
old and he was just bedridden,
00:48:28.70\00:48:32.44
he couldn't do anything for
himself, he wanted to pass to
00:48:32.44\00:48:35.24
rest and when he passed to
rest, I was like, praise God,
00:48:35.24\00:48:37.11
next thing you know
is the second coming.
00:48:37.41\00:48:38.55
Yeah.
00:48:38.98\00:48:40.12
That's right.
00:48:40.72\00:48:41.02
That's right.
00:48:41.42\00:48:41.85
2018, July 19th, I had open
heart surgery and I knew there
00:48:42.65\00:48:48.46
was a chance that I
wouldn't come through.
00:48:48.46\00:48:51.36
So I didn't know
how you're gonna act.
00:48:51.89\00:48:53.70
You know, when you really
get there, I got up that morning
00:48:53.96\00:48:56.80
and you take your shower, you
do everything they say, you go
00:48:56.80\00:48:59.40
to the hospital and all of
a sudden people are working on
00:48:59.40\00:49:02.47
you, shaving your chest,
make sure everything's there and
00:49:02.47\00:49:06.37
you're like, uh-oh.
00:49:06.37\00:49:07.54
This is real.
00:49:07.88\00:49:11.95
group of people there.
00:49:11.95\00:49:12.95
You know, we had prayed and I
couldn't believe the peace that
00:49:13.31\00:49:16.48
I had about it because what was
in my mind was if I don't make
00:49:16.48\00:49:21.09
it, the next face I'll see will
be that of Jesus and it will be
00:49:21.09\00:49:24.96
the moment, the tweaking of
an eye and if I live through it
00:49:24.96\00:49:28.66
and wake up, I'll see my
precious wife and kids and
00:49:28.66\00:49:31.37
grandkids and family and we're
there so either way, you win.
00:49:31.37\00:49:35.34
It's a win-win.
00:49:35.74\00:49:36.20
For the
Christians, it's a win -win.
00:49:36.84\00:49:37.94
Oh, absolutely.
00:49:37.97\00:49:38.77
Beautiful.
00:49:38.77\00:49:38.94
Absolutely.
00:49:39.57\00:49:42.21
earth and all of the
sorrow and crying and tears.
00:49:42.21\00:49:44.68
The living know that they shall
die, Ecclesiastes 9.5, but the
00:49:45.51\00:49:48.68
dead know not anything and
that's God's way of helping us,
00:49:48.68\00:49:52.32
you know, to
get through the sin.
00:49:52.32\00:49:53.82
We've had enough of sin.
00:49:53.92\00:49:54.96
You watch the news and
you think, oh, your heart just
00:49:55.16\00:49:57.69
breaks.
00:49:57.69\00:50:00.60
right?
00:50:00.80\00:50:03.90
sorrow, no
crying, no tears, no pain.
00:50:03.90\00:50:06.63
But there would be, if you go
to heaven and you look down and
00:50:06.63\00:50:06.67
your loved ones are suffering,
you're going to be crying.
00:50:09.54\00:50:12.64
Oh, you're not going to
see them, someone told me.
00:50:13.01\00:50:14.48
I said, well, you're
going to know about them.
00:50:14.61\00:50:16.04
You're going to
know they're down there.
00:50:16.61\00:50:17.75
You're going to know what
they're going through because
00:50:17.81\00:50:18.95
you were just
there going through that.
00:50:18.95\00:50:20.45
You know, you're going to
know it's going to get worse.
00:50:20.55\00:50:22.12
God has the perfect plan.
00:50:22.45\00:50:23.69
That's right.
00:50:23.72\00:50:27.42
God.
00:50:27.42\00:50:27.99
What kind of God do we serve?
00:50:28.12\00:50:28.86
He's thought of everything.
00:50:29.09\00:50:30.16
He's figured it all out
and He's way smarter than us.
00:50:30.26\00:50:31.96
Yeah.
00:50:32.23\00:50:35.56
to the Garden Eden and it
really came in through Greek
00:50:35.56\00:50:38.30
mythology.
00:50:38.30\00:50:41.74
Take that out of the Bible.
00:50:41.90\00:50:43.07
Let the Bible speak for itself.
00:50:43.30\00:50:44.64
It'll clear it all up and
you'll be better off for it.
00:50:44.81\00:50:46.91
It's good.
00:50:47.48\00:50:50.71
you.
00:50:50.71\00:50:51.45
You look in the camera
and somebody's watching.
00:50:51.75\00:50:54.78
They don't have
assurance of salvation.
00:50:55.15\00:50:57.02
Maybe they claim
to be a Christian.
00:50:57.12\00:50:58.52
Maybe they're not.
00:50:58.52\00:50:58.55
But they've been watching this
program and the Holy Spirit is
00:50:59.82\00:51:03.16
dealing with them.
00:51:03.16\00:51:04.06
What would you, what
would you say to them?
00:51:04.43\00:51:06.33
Both of you, maybe in a
couple of minutes a piece or so.
00:51:06.33\00:51:06.36
I'm thinking of the text in
1 Thessalonians, but I know I'm
00:51:10.30\00:51:13.03
not going to be able to find it
because I looked for it earlier
00:51:13.03\00:51:14.60
and I couldn't find it.
00:51:14.60\00:51:15.47
But Paul just says there
that our gospel comes with much
00:51:15.80\00:51:18.27
assurance.
00:51:18.27\00:51:18.81
We need that assurance.
00:51:19.31\00:51:20.61
Look at us.
00:51:20.81\00:51:25.41
as I interact with my wife.
00:51:25.41\00:51:27.35
You know, when I was
single, I was perfect.
00:51:27.45\00:51:29.78
I was.
00:51:30.05\00:51:30.55
Everything was good.
00:51:30.59\00:51:31.42
I got married.
00:51:31.45\00:51:32.22
I was like,
whoa, didn't see that.
00:51:32.29\00:51:34.19
And then we had kids
and then we had pets.
00:51:34.32\00:51:36.32
I'm just saying that you are
dealing with the faults of your
00:51:36.96\00:51:40.86
own self.
00:51:40.86\00:51:41.86
Now, of course, we reflect
those on others and we try to
00:51:42.03\00:51:44.53
find fault with others, but
God doesn't need us to do that.
00:51:44.53\00:51:46.94
He needs us to know that we
have assurance that He loves
00:51:47.17\00:51:49.90
us, that He's died for us, that
He's given His Son for us, that
00:51:49.90\00:51:53.27
He has gone to
prepare a place for us.
00:51:53.27\00:51:56.18
Listen to these verses.
00:51:56.18\00:51:57.05
Just give me a
couple minutes here.
00:51:57.31\00:51:58.55
Listen to these verses in John
chapter 14 because this is so
00:51:58.58\00:52:01.92
powerful.
00:52:01.92\00:52:05.25
Ye believe in me,
believe also in God.
00:52:05.35\00:52:07.09
In my Father's
house are many mansions.
00:52:07.36\00:52:09.06
If it were not so, I would have
told you, I've gone to prepare
00:52:09.12\00:52:11.33
a place for you.
00:52:11.33\00:52:14.93
I will receive you unto myself
that where I am, there you may
00:52:14.93\00:52:17.73
be also.
00:52:17.73\00:52:22.17
more precious when you think
about them in the context of
00:52:22.17\00:52:24.87
chapter 13.
00:52:24.87\00:52:25.71
Because see, there was no
chapter division here when it
00:52:26.41\00:52:28.18
was first written.
00:52:28.18\00:52:33.35
his Lord.
00:52:33.35\00:52:33.98
He'll go to death with Him.
00:52:34.02\00:52:35.12
And Jesus tells Peter, You're
going to deny me three times.
00:52:35.28\00:52:38.89
Jesus says in verse 38 of
chapter 13, Jesus answered him
00:52:38.99\00:52:43.73
and said, Will thou lay
down thy life for my sake?
00:52:43.73\00:52:46.36
Verily I say unto you, The cock
shall not crow till thou hast
00:52:46.73\00:52:50.33
denied me thrice.
00:52:50.33\00:52:51.43
That's what Jesus says to Peter.
00:52:51.47\00:52:52.83
In other words, Peter's just
received a revelation of who he
00:52:53.10\00:52:56.04
really is, his fallenness.
00:52:56.04\00:52:57.27
And then Jesus says, Let
not your heart be troubled.
00:52:57.61\00:53:01.21
You believe in God, believe
also in me, in my Father's
00:53:01.84\00:53:05.11
house and many mansions.
00:53:05.11\00:53:05.95
Isn't that beautiful?
00:53:05.98\00:53:06.55
In other words, when you're
confronted with the failures of
00:53:07.18\00:53:09.62
your own self, let not
your heart be troubled.
00:53:09.62\00:53:11.82
I've got you.
00:53:11.92\00:53:12.92
I've got you.
00:53:13.12\00:53:13.89
And I'm coming back for you.
00:53:13.96\00:53:15.09
Amen.
00:53:15.56\00:53:15.69
Amen.
00:53:15.86\00:53:16.36
That's so beautiful.
00:53:16.36\00:53:17.66
I want to add to that, you
know, again, we have to know
00:53:17.76\00:53:21.63
what we have
through Jesus Christ.
00:53:21.63\00:53:23.97
And in Ephesians 1, verses
13 and 14, it says, In him,
00:53:24.10\00:53:28.74
meaning Christ, you also
trusted, after you heard the
00:53:28.74\00:53:31.97
word of truth, the gospel
of your salvation, in whom also
00:53:31.97\00:53:35.61
having believed, you were
sealed with the Holy Spirit of
00:53:35.61\00:53:39.08
promise.
00:53:39.08\00:53:39.78
Who is the guarantee of
our inheritance until the
00:53:40.18\00:53:44.09
redemption of the purchased
possession to the praise of his
00:53:44.09\00:53:48.06
glory.
00:53:48.06\00:53:48.39
So when we accept Jesus Christ
as our Savior, the Holy Spirit
00:53:49.56\00:53:54.10
comes in and he is our
guarantee of our inheritance.
00:53:54.10\00:53:58.70
And as long as we stay
connected to Christ, that is
00:53:58.73\00:54:02.57
the most important thing, that
we stay connected to Christ,
00:54:02.57\00:54:05.81
that we read the Word, that
we study the Word, that we pray,
00:54:05.81\00:54:05.84
that we ask God to
lead us into all truth.
00:54:09.14\00:54:09.18
We have the seal that comes
from the Holy Spirit, who is
00:54:12.21\00:54:17.89
our guarantee.
00:54:17.89\00:54:19.12
It's like, that word is
precious because we cannot fail
00:54:19.65\00:54:26.09
if we're connected to Christ.
00:54:26.09\00:54:28.43
You can't be lost if
you're connected to Christ.
00:54:29.23\00:54:33.37
If you go away from him and you
decide you don't want to deal
00:54:33.70\00:54:39.17
with Christ,
then it can be lost.
00:54:39.17\00:54:41.91
That's a sin problem.
00:54:41.91\00:54:42.48
Disconnect is a sin problem.
00:54:42.58\00:54:43.75
Connect is the remedy.
00:54:43.75\00:54:44.91
Connect is the remedy.
00:54:45.65\00:54:47.05
That's exactly it.
00:54:47.62\00:54:48.75
And so again, we get
sidetracked, looking at a whole
00:54:49.28\00:54:52.62
bunch of other things,
look unto Jesus, the author and
00:54:52.62\00:54:56.39
finisher of our faith, who
for the joy that was set before
00:54:56.39\00:55:00.26
him, endured the
cross, despising the shame.
00:55:00.26\00:55:02.96
And he's now set on the
right hand of the Father.
00:55:03.06\00:55:05.73
We have the guarantee of
salvation if we stay connected.
00:55:06.03\00:55:10.94
So no matter what your past is,
you can't say, well, you don't
00:55:11.37\00:55:14.98
have to worry and
say, well, I'm too bad.
00:55:14.98\00:55:16.48
I've heard people say, I went
to church, the roof could fall
00:55:16.64\00:55:19.51
in.
00:55:19.51\00:55:19.91
Well, I'm too bad.
00:55:20.28\00:55:22.08
I've been on drugs for years.
00:55:22.18\00:55:23.52
But Jesus wants to free you
from what the devil has bound
00:55:24.02\00:55:28.22
you in for all of these years.
00:55:28.22\00:55:30.13
So all you really have to do to
accept Jesus Christ as Lord and
00:55:30.19\00:55:35.26
Savior of your life, he says,
if we confess our sins, because
00:55:35.26\00:55:39.07
we're all sinners, the Bible
tells us, saved by grace, if we
00:55:39.07\00:55:42.70
confess our sins, he is
faithful and just to forgive us
00:55:42.70\00:55:47.41
our sins and cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.
00:55:47.41\00:55:51.95
And then, once we do that, we
come to the foot of the cross.
00:55:52.28\00:55:55.78
We say, Lord, I'm a sinner.
00:55:55.98\00:55:57.02
Please save me.
00:55:57.42\00:55:58.79
It's really that easy.
00:55:59.05\00:56:00.22
Then the Bible says, go and
tell what he has done for us.
00:56:00.76\00:56:05.63
So Matthew 28, 18 to 20, we
read earlier, go ye into all
00:56:06.53\00:56:11.20
the world.
00:56:11.20\00:56:15.14
blessing of God is on the go.
00:56:15.14\00:56:16.77
God didn't need
me to reach people.
00:56:17.94\00:56:19.74
He could do it himself, but
I need to love people and reach
00:56:20.08\00:56:23.48
them and share my
testimony for my own salvation.
00:56:23.48\00:56:26.28
Because that's what God's
called us to do is to love one
00:56:27.38\00:56:30.82
another.
00:56:30.82\00:56:34.26
heart, confess your sins, he's
faithful and just to forgive
00:56:34.26\00:56:37.53
you your sins, he will cleanse
you from all unrighteousness
00:56:37.53\00:56:40.96
and from this day forward, you
trust God, you pray, you read,
00:56:40.96\00:56:44.63
you study your Bible, you stay
connected as they were saying.
00:56:44.87\00:56:48.74
And there we go.
00:56:49.30\00:56:50.64
Now, we could say a lot more,
but I hate to say this, but our
00:56:51.04\00:56:54.44
time is all gone for tonight.
00:56:54.44\00:56:55.78
So until we see you next time,
may the Lord richly bless you
00:56:56.24\00:56:59.15
abundantly more than
you could ever ask or think.
00:56:59.15\00:57:01.92
Amen.
00:57:01.92\00:57:02.42
