00:03:36.34\00:03:41.88

BROTHER, WE'RE
VERY CLOSE IN AGE.
00:03:43.92\00:03:46.35
I WON'T TELL YOU ON THE AIR,
BECAUSE THAT'S A SECRET AT A
00:03:46.35\00:03:50.59
CERTAIN POINT. >> I'M THE ELDER.
00:03:50.59\00:03:53.76
I'M THE FIRSTBORN.
>> HE CAME OUT FIRST.
00:03:53.76\00:03:56.46
BUT IT'S A BLESSING TO SEE WHAT
GOD HAS DONE IN YOUR LIFETIME

AND WHERE YOU BEGAN.
WE'LL TALK ABOUT THAT LATER IN

THE PROGRAM. BUT, YOU
KNOW, WE ALWAYS LIKE TO
00:04:04.74\00:04:07.41
BEGIN WITH AN AMAZING TESTIMONY
THROUGH MUSIC, AND TONIGHT WE'RE
00:04:07.41\00:04:13.52
GOING TO HEAR A WONDERFUL SONG,
"BE THOU MY VISION," BY JOHAN

SENTANA. ENJOY.
00:04:19.02\00:04:19.65
¤
00:04:19.65\00:04:29.83
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THAT SONG, "BE THOU MY VISION."
00:07:23.64\00:07:29.18
AND, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS
WHERE THERE IS NO VISION, THE
00:07:29.18\00:07:32.08
PEOPLE PARISH, OR
CAST OFF RESTRAINT.
00:07:32.08\00:07:35.32
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT SONG,
REMAINING -- REMINDING US TO
00:07:35.32\00:07:45.19
KEEP OUR MINDS CLEAR. WE
HAVE A FREE OFFER TONIGHT,
00:07:45.19\00:07:52.33
"WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?."
AND DURING THE NEXT HOUR OR
00:07:52.33\00:07:55.24
LITTLE MORE TWO HOURS, YOU
CAN WRITE US HERE, OR CALL US AT
00:07:55.24\00:08:03.24
618-627-4651 FOR A
FREE COPY OF THIS BOOK.
00:08:03.24\00:08:06.58
DOUG, TELL US A LITTLE
BIT MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK.
00:08:06.58\00:08:09.28
YOU WRITE THESE BOOKS OUT
OF -- JUST REAL STIMULATING TO
00:08:09.28\00:08:14.22
THE PEOPLE THAT READ IT.
WHAT GAVE YOU THE IDEA TO PUT
00:08:14.22\00:08:17.43
THIS TOGETHER? >>
THAT IS A COMPILATION OF
00:08:17.43\00:08:22.13
SERMONS THAT I DID.
THERE IS A SECTION CALLED
00:08:22.13\00:08:25.60
IDENTITY THEFT, AND IT TALKED
ABOUT HOW THE DEVIL HAS TRIED TO
00:08:25.60\00:08:29.77
STEAL THE IDENTITY OF CHRISTIANS
BY ROBBING THEM OF THE BELIEF
00:08:29.77\00:08:34.58
THAT THE LORD
CAN TRANSFORM THEM.
00:08:34.58\00:08:37.35
WE DID PRAYER MEETING HERE, AND
WE TALKED ABOUT THE 12 SPIES,
00:08:37.35\00:08:41.48
AND 10 DID NOT BELIEVE THEY
COULD MAKE IT TO THE PROMISE
00:08:41.48\00:08:44.85
LAND, AND THEY DIDN'T MAKE IT.
THAT'S ONE OF THE THEMES IN THE
00:08:44.85\00:08:48.69
BOOK. SO THERE'S
A DELICATE BALANCE,
00:08:48.69\00:08:51.73
BECAUSE PEOPLE GO AROUND
AND TALK TO CORPORATIONS ABOUT
00:08:51.73\00:08:54.60
POSITIVE THINKING. AND
THERE'S SOME TRUTH TO THOSE
00:08:54.60\00:09:00.54
PRINCIPALS, BUT THIS IS COMING
FROM THE BIBLICAL PERSPECTIVE.
00:09:00.54\00:09:04.11
THERE IS POWER IN FAITH, BUT
IT'S NOT FAITH IN FAITH, IT'S
00:09:04.11\00:09:08.24
FAITH IN CHRIST.
THAT'S WHY IT SAY WHO DO YOU
00:09:08.24\00:09:13.21
THINK YOU ARE, BECAUSE WHEN YOU
ARE IN CHRIST, YOU BECOME A NEW
00:09:13.21\00:09:18.25
CREATURE. AND PAUL
IS ALWAYS APPEALING TO
00:09:18.25\00:09:20.86
PEOPLE, HE SAYS DON'T CONDUCT
YOURSELF ACCORDING TO THE FORM
00:09:20.86\00:09:24.79
OF BEHAVIOR. AND
GOD DECLARED ABRAHAM, HE
00:09:24.79\00:09:34.24
GAVE THEM THE NAME OF FATHER
OF THE MULTITUDE, AND WHEN HE
00:09:34.24\00:09:39.24
FINALLY BELIEVED GOD, IT
WAS COUNTED TO HIM FOR RIGHTE
00:09:39.24\00:09:45.68
RIGHTEOUSNESS. >> THE
WORLD SAYS I'LL BELIEVE
00:09:45.68\00:09:47.05
IT WHEN I SEE IT, BUT THE FAITH
FACTOR SAYS YOU'LL SEE IT WHEN
00:09:47.05\00:09:51.62
YOU BELIEVE IT. >> EXACTLY.
00:09:51.62\00:09:56.12
>> OKAY. THANK YOU FOR THAT.
00:09:56.12\00:09:58.46
I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE,
AND HONESTLY, I HAVEN'T READ IT.
00:09:58.46\00:10:03.33

IF YOU ARE DRIVING, PLEASE TRY
TO REMEMBER THAT, DON'T TRY TO
00:10:22.25\00:10:27.82
WRITE IT DOWN.
SOMEBODY ONCE SAID, PRAY BUT
00:10:27.82\00:10:31.89
DON'T KNEEL DOWN IN YOUR
CAR WHILE YOU ARE DRIVING.
00:10:31.89\00:10:35.83
GIVE OUR VIEWERS AND LISTENERS,
BECAUSE SOMEBODY IS LISTENING
00:10:35.83\00:10:40.07
THAT MIGHT SAY THOSE IS FAMILIAR
WITH DOUG BATCHELOR, BUT I DON'T
00:10:40.07\00:10:43.37
KNOW WHO HE IS. SO
JUST WALK US THROUGH WHO YOU
00:10:43.37\00:10:46.74
ARE. >>

PEOPLE WONDER WHY ARE
YOU CALLED AMAZING FACTS.
00:11:43.20\00:11:46.74
BECAUSE 50 YEARS AGO IT STARTED
WITH A BROADCAST CALLED AMAZING
-FACTS, WHERE THE SPEAKER WOULD
00:11:46.74\00:11:54.61
TAKE AN INTERESTING FACT FROM
SCIENCE, HISTORY, NATURE, AND
00:11:54.61\00:11:59.25
THEN BRING IN A
SPIRITUAL LESSON.
00:11:59.25\00:12:03.22
AND IT JUST TOOK OFF
AND BECAME VERY POPULAR.
00:12:03.22\00:12:08.69

INTO YOUR SPIRITUAL MESSAGE,
YOU CAPTURE PEOPLE'S ATTENTION.
00:12:21.30\00:12:25.41
AND WE DO THIS
LIVE RADIO PROGRAM.
00:12:25.41\00:12:28.08
I WAS DRIVING CROSS COUNTRY
YESTERDAY FROM LOUISVILLE,
00:12:28.08\00:12:31.91
KENTUCKY, AND TURNED ON -- I'M
FLIPPING AROUND FOR CHRISTIAN
00:12:31.91\00:12:35.28
RADIO, ALL OF A SUDDEN I HEARD
A VOICE, IT WAS PASTOR ROSS WHO
00:12:35.28\00:12:41.22
CO-HOSTS WITH ME. I
SAID I KNOW THAT VOICE.
00:12:41.22\00:12:44.03
THAT'S MY
CO-HOST. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:12:44.03\00:12:46.86
I REMEMBER WHEN LIVED IN
-- NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, WE
00:12:46.86\00:12:51.87
HAD OPPORTUNITIES
TO DO IT TOGETHER.
00:12:51.87\00:12:54.24
ONE NIGHT YOU CALLED AND SAID,
HEY, I AM IN THIS MEETING, CAN
00:12:54.24\00:13:00.88
YOU HOST THE RADIO SHOW.
AND IT WAS A FUN PROGRAM TO DO.
00:13:00.88\00:13:05.75
AND THROUGH THE YEARS WHEN YOU
DEAL WITH THE BIBLE AS LONG AS
00:13:05.75\00:13:09.18
WE HAVE, HAVING TO BE IN
THE MOMENT WHERE PEOPLE ASK YOU
00:13:09.18\00:13:13.25
QUESTIONS, IN THE PHONE CALLS,
THEY ARE NOT PRESCREENED OR SENT
00:13:13.25\00:13:17.36
IN BY EMAIL, YOU HAVE TO PRAY
FOR GOD TO GIVE YOU WISDOM AND
00:13:17.36\00:13:23.30
DIRECTION. NOW 30
YEARS LATER -- HOW LONG
00:13:23.30\00:13:26.94
HAS BIBLE ANSWER BEEN

00:13:26.94\00:13:29.64
>> 18 YEARS. >>
AND WE ARE BASED OUT OF
00:13:29.64\00:13:33.91
SACRAMENTO, AND WE ARE ON
ABOUT 320 STATIONS, INCLUDING
00:13:33.91\00:13:39.61
SATELLITE RADIO. SO
ANYONE -- WE GET TRUCKERS ALL
00:13:39.61\00:13:42.45
OVER THE COUNTRY, AND THEY
DO, THEY JUST CALL IN BIBLE
00:13:42.45\00:13:46.79
QUESTIONS. EVERY
WEEK WE HAVE THOUSANDS OF
00:13:46.79\00:13:48.72
PEOPLE LISTENING, AND THEY ARE
ASKING ANY BIBLE QUESTION, AND
00:13:48.72\00:13:53.09
WE PRAY, WE KNEEL AND PRAY EVERY
PROGRAM, BECAUSE WE DON'T KNOW
00:13:53.09\00:13:57.20
ALL OF THE ANSWERS, AND WE
JUST DO OUR BEST WITH THE LORD'S
00:13:57.20\00:14:02.17
BLESSING. >> I
HAVE SOMEBODY WHO WORKS
00:14:02.17\00:14:04.64
HERE THAT SAYS IF I HAD A NICKEL
EVERY TIME I HEARD THE NAME DOUG
00:14:04.64\00:14:11.31
BATCHELOR, HE SAID IF I
HAD A NICKEL EVERY TIME --
00:14:11.31\00:14:15.12
>> HE WOULD HAVE $0.25.
>> HE SAID I WOULD BE A VERY
00:14:15.12\00:14:20.32
WEALTHY MAN BY NOW. BUT
THE LORD HAS BROUGHT YOU A
00:14:20.32\00:14:23.96
LONG WAY. BUT FOR
THOSE WHO HAVEN'T HEARD.
00:14:23.96\00:14:29.53
YOU LIVED IN A CAVE YEARS
AGO IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
00:14:29.53\00:14:34.60
>> WELL, I WAS NOT
RAISED A CHRISTIAN.
00:14:34.60\00:14:37.91
I HAD INTERESTING PARENTS.
MY MOTHER WROTE SONGING FOR
00:14:37.91\00:14:43.68
ELVIS PRESLEY, AND AN ACTRESS,
-pAND MY FATHER OWNED A COUPLE
OF AIRLINES, SO I HAD THESE VERY
00:14:43.68\00:14:52.25
UNUSUAL PARENTS, AND I GREW
UP PRETTY MUCH AN ATHEIST, AND I
00:14:52.25\00:14:58.49
NEVER HEARD OF SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST, AND I RAN AWAY FROM
00:14:58.49\00:15:03.97
HOME AND WENT THROUGH A HIPPY
SCENE IN THE 60S AND 70S, AND
00:15:03.97\00:15:09.27
THE DRUGS, AND LISTENING TO THE
BEATLES, AND THE MEDICATION, AND
00:15:09.27\00:15:14.21
JUST TRYING TO FIND GOD.
FINALLY I DECIDED TO TRY TO FIND
00:15:14.21\00:15:18.58
GOD THROUGH NATURE, SO I MOVED
INTO A CAVE IN THESE REMOTE
00:15:18.58\00:15:24.35
MOUNTAINS ABOVE PALM SPRINGS.
AND I LIVED THERE FOR A YEAR AND
00:15:24.35\00:15:28.29
A HALF. AND
SOMEBODY LEFT A BIBLE IN THE
00:15:28.29\00:15:30.89
CAVE, AND AT ONE POINT I STARTED
READING THE BIBLE, SO I COULD
00:15:30.89\00:15:35.40
ARGUE WITH WHAT WE CALLED JESUS
FREAKS, CHRISTIANS TRYING TO
00:15:35.40\00:15:40.04
CONVERT ME. AND IN
READING THE BIBLE IT
00:15:40.04\00:15:43.10
TRANSFORMED ME. >> WOW.
00:15:43.10\00:15:44.87
THE BOOK THAT BREATHES. AND
A DOCUMENTARY, THEY TOOK THE
00:15:44.87\00:15:49.31
HELICOPTER UP THERE, AND
SHOWED PEOPLE WHERE YOU WERE.
00:15:49.31\00:15:52.15
SO WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT WHERE
WE -- STARTING IN TH CAVE, AND
00:15:52.15\00:15:55.12
HERE YOU ARE NOW, THE LORD HAS
GIVEN YOU FOOTPRINTS ON SO MANY
00:15:55.12\00:16:00.49
CONTINENTS TO SHARE THE
WONDERFUL MESSAGE OF JESUS.
00:16:00.49\00:16:02.52
YOU HAVE A WIFE,
CHILDREN, A WONDERFUL FAMILY.
00:16:02.52\00:16:06.59
>> YES, CAN I SAY HELLO TO
KAREN, AND FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
00:16:06.59\00:16:12.30
40 YEARS, WE HAVE AN
EMPTY NEST. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:16:12.30\00:16:15.87
>> WE HAVE THEM FROM 40 YEARS
NOW, OUR CHILDREN, TO NATHAN WHO
00:16:15.87\00:16:19.81
IS 20, AND WE
HAVE SIX GRANDCHILDREN.
00:16:19.81\00:16:23.28
I STARTED YOUNG. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:16:23.28\00:16:25.65
>> SO KAREN AN I
FINALLY HAVE AN EMPTY NEST.
00:16:25.65\00:16:28.32
>> WHAT ARE YOU
GOING TO DO WITH THAT?
00:16:28.32\00:16:30.79
>> WE'RE GOING TO FIGURE
SOMETHING OUT, BUT IT IS A
00:16:30.79\00:16:35.72
CHANGE. >> AND YOU
ARE PASTORING IN THE
00:16:35.72\00:16:38.06
GRANITE BAY -- >>
YEAH, WE PASTORED IN THE
00:16:38.06\00:16:47.27
SACRAMENTO AREA. THAT
CHURCH PLANTED A CHURCH IN
00:16:47.27\00:16:50.74
A COMMUNITY CALLED GRANITE BAY,
AND I ULTIMATELY MOVED TO THE
00:16:50.74\00:16:55.78
NEW CHURCH PLANT WHERE I HAVE
BEEN NOW FOR TWO YEARS, AND THE
00:16:55.78\00:16:59.41
LORD HAS BLESSED THAT WE HAVE
BEEN IN A RENTED BUILDING FOR
00:16:59.41\00:17:02.98
ABOUT A YEAR AND A
HALF NOW, AND IT'S FULL.
00:17:02.98\00:17:05.59
AND WE BROADCAST THE
PROGRAMS ON 3ABN NOW.
00:17:05.59\00:17:08.56
>> THAT'S RIGHT. AND
YOU -- YOU HAVE SABBATH
00:17:08.56\00:17:12.46
SCHOOL. AND I
KNOW SOME OF THE PEOPLE
00:17:12.46\00:17:14.30
THERE. I MUST
SAY THAT THIS IS THE
00:17:14.30\00:17:17.13
MIDWEST, BUT I LOVE THOSE
MOUNTAINS IN CALIFORNIA AND
00:17:17.13\00:17:19.63
WHERE YOU LIVE UP
THERE, A WONDERFUL VALLEY.
00:17:19.63\00:17:23.00
>> YEAH. >> IT'S
IN THE SIERRAS --
00:17:23.00\00:17:26.41
>> IT'S ACTUALLY IN
THE NATIONAL FOREST,
00:17:26.41\00:17:33.01
>> WOW. >> THERE
IS GOOD 7, 8,000-FOOT
00:17:33.01\00:17:40.29
MOUNTS UP THERE. >>

DOUG BATCHELOR AND I IN OUR
FIRST SERIES WE DID IN VALLEJO,
00:17:43.73\00:17:48.83
CALIFORNIA. >>
WHICH ONE IS WHICH?
00:17:48.83\00:17:50.33
IT'S HARD TO TELL. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:17:50.33\00:17:52.03
>> HEY, I THINK
THAT'S THE SAME TIE.
00:17:52.03\00:17:55.47
NO, IT'S NOT THE SAME. BUT
I DON'T KNOW WHAT MY RED TIE
00:17:55.47\00:17:59.67
HAS TO DO WITH MY
BLACK CHECKERED JACKET.
00:17:59.67\00:18:03.04
I DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT WAS ALL
ABOUT, BUT IT LOOKED GOOD THEN.
00:18:03.04\00:18:06.41
THAT WAS UP BACK IN THE DAY,
WHEN WE BOTH HAD BLACK HAIR, AND
00:18:06.41\00:18:10.85
WE DECIDED TO EMBRACE THE AGING
PROCESS AND ALLOW THE LORD TO
00:18:10.85\00:18:16.12
SHOW WISDOM IN OUR AGE.
>> AND THAT IS YOUR WIFE AS
00:18:16.12\00:18:21.66
WELL. >> YEAH,
WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED
00:18:21.66\00:18:24.13
FOR 33 YEARS. >> AND
YOU JUST CAME BACK FROM

LONDON. >> YES
IT WAS A WONDERFUL
00:18:26.90\00:18:29.07
SERIES OVER THERE.
NOW, BUT -- BUT THERE'S
00:18:29.07\00:18:31.41
SOMETHING THAT WE WANT TO
TALK ABOUT PARTICULARLY TONIGHT.
00:18:31.41\00:18:34.41
YOU ARE HERE TO TALK ABOUT A
WONDERFUL SERIES YOU ARE ABLE TO
00:18:34.41\00:18:38.45
DO IN PARTNERSHIP WITH 3ABN.
>> YES, IT'S CALLED MIGHTY MEN
00:18:38.45\00:18:44.22
OF GOD. M-M-O-G, AND IT IS FOUR
00:18:44.22\00:18:49.49
PARTS -- THREE PARTS AND A
QUESTION AND ANSWER PERIOD.
00:18:49.49\00:18:53.09
STARTS IN ABOUT A WEEK.-IT'S
SEPTEMBER 30TH AND AUGUST 1ST.
00:18:53.09\00:18:58.27
>> OCTOBER 1ST. >> I'M SORRY.
00:18:58.27\00:19:01.00
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
SEPTEMBER 30TH AND OCTOBER 1ST,
00:19:01.00\00:19:04.57
AND WE'RE GOING TO BE TALKING
ABOUT HOW TO BE MEN OF PURITY,
00:19:04.57\00:19:08.88
COURAGE, INTEGRITY, AND THERE'S
A DYNAMIC THAT I JUST THINK THAT
00:19:08.88\00:19:16.58
THE WHOLE IS YEARNING FOR, FOR
MEN TO COME TOGETHER AND BE MEN
00:19:16.58\00:19:24.79
OF INTEGRITY, CURAGE AND PURITY.
00:19:24.79\00:19:28.56
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
THERE IS SOMETHING -- ALMOST
00:19:28.56\00:19:31.17
EVERY YEAR I GO ON A CAMPING
TRIP WITH A BUNCH OF GUYS.
00:19:31.17\00:19:35.10
AND YOU HAVE BEEN
FOUR-WHEELER RIDING WITH ME.
00:19:35.10\00:19:38.04
WE GO OUT TO THE REMOTE REGIONS
OF THE DESERT, AND THESE ARE ALL
00:19:38.04\00:19:43.91
CHRISTIAN MEN, AND WE GET
TOGETHER AND PRAY TOGETHER AND
00:19:43.91\00:19:46.88
HAVE FUN TOGETHER AND
WORK TOGETHER, AND HAVE SOME
00:19:46.88\00:19:50.59
HEART-TO-HEART TALKS AND
CHALLENGE EACH OTHER, AND I JUST
00:19:50.59\00:19:53.69
THINK ONE OF THE BIGGEST NEEDS
IN THE COUNTRY RIGHT NOW, IN THE
00:19:53.69\00:19:57.69
COUNTRY, IN THE FAMILIES, IN
THE CHURCH IS FOR MEN TO BE MEN.
00:19:57.69\00:20:02.23
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
AND IT IS -- SO MANY OF THE
00:20:02.23\00:20:06.23
MESSAGES COMING OUT OF THE MEDIA
ARE DOWN PLAYING THE DISTINCTIVE
00:20:06.23\00:20:13.54
ROLE OF MEN, THE WAY GOD
DESIGNED AND CALLED US TO BE.
00:20:13.54\00:20:19.75
WE'RE IN A CULTURE WHERE
EVERYTHING IS BEING PUSHED TO
00:20:19.75\00:20:23.15
GENDER NEUTRAL, AND THAT'S NOT
THE WAY THE BIBLE DESCRIBES IT.
00:20:23.15\00:20:26.32
>> NO. >> IT'S
LIKE WHEN THEY WENT INTO
00:20:26.32\00:20:29.82
THAT BATTLE AND SAID QUIT
YOURSELF LIKE MEN AND FIGHT.
00:20:29.82\00:20:34.30
AND NOW MEN NEED TO KNOW HOW TO
FIGHT FOR HOLINESS, PURITY, AND
00:20:34.30\00:20:43.41
COURAGE. MOSES SAID
BE CORAGEOUS, AND GOD
00:20:43.41\00:20:50.95
TOLD JOSHUA, BE COURAGEOUS.
AND NOW GOD IS CALLING MEN TO BE
00:20:50.95\00:20:58.65
LOVING LEADERS IN THEIR
FAMILIES, IN THE CHURCH.
00:20:58.65\00:21:02.69
BE MEN OF PURITY. >> UH-HUH.
00:21:02.69\00:21:05.69
>> YOU KNOW, THERE'S A LOT OF
PROMISCUITY AND THINGS HAPPENING
00:21:05.69\00:21:09.10
IN THE CULTURE THAT A LOT OF MEN
STRUGGLE WITH PORNOGRAPHY, IT'S
00:21:09.10\00:21:14.30
SO READILY ACCESSIBLE
RIGHT NOW THROUGH THE INTERNET.
00:21:14.30\00:21:18.17
THERE'S A STRUGGLE
WITH MESSAGES OF DISHONESTY.
00:21:18.17\00:21:22.24
WE NEED MEN OF INTEGRITY.
AND GOD IS CALLING FOR MEN WHO
00:21:22.24\00:21:29.72
ARE MEN OF COURAGE AND PURITY
AND INTEGRITY, AND LOVING THEIR
00:21:29.72\00:21:35.39
WIVES, AND RESPECTED
THEIR WIVES, AND BEING SPIRITUAL
00:21:35.39\00:21:38.89
LEADERS IN THEIR CHURCHES.
THE MEDIA IS FREQUENTLY -- I SAW
00:21:38.89\00:21:43.80
SEVERAL STUDIES WHERE THEY
LOOKED AT HOW MEN ARE PORTRAYED
00:21:43.80\00:21:47.80
IN THE MEDIA, AND IT
REALLY IS OVER THE TOP.
00:21:47.80\00:21:52.47
THEY ARE TYPICALLY
PORTRAYED AS THE FAMILY IDIOTS.
00:21:52.47\00:21:55.91
THEY ARE JUST ANIMALS AND
UNINTELLIGENT, AND I THINK THIS
00:21:55.91\00:22:02.28
IS -- YOU KNOW, A -- I THINK
IT'S A CONSPIRACY OF THE DEVIL
00:22:02.28\00:22:07.02
TO ERASE THE
IMAGE OF GOD FROM MEN.
00:22:07.02\00:22:11.09
>> WOW. >>
ANYWAY, SO WE'RE GOING TO
00:22:11.09\00:22:13.40
HAVE THIS MEETING AND
WE'RE GOING TO BE CALLING MEN TO
00:22:13.40\00:22:18.90
STAND. >> WOW.
00:22:18.90\00:22:20.07
BECAUSE WHEN THE LORD CREATED
ADAM, HE GAVE HIM DOMINION OVER
00:22:20.07\00:22:28.68
THE EARTH. AND HE
LOST IT AND GAI -- GAVE
00:22:28.68\00:22:34.35
IT TO THE DEVIL, AND THEN JESUS
CAME AND TOOK IT BACK FROM THE
00:22:34.35\00:22:40.22
DEVIL. >> YEAH.
00:22:40.22\00:22:41.99
>> THEY SHALL BUILD UP THE
OLD WASTE PLACES, RAISE UP THE
00:22:41.99\00:22:46.96
FOUNDATIONS OF MANY GENERATIONS.
THAT APPLIES TO ME ON A BROADER
00:22:46.96\00:22:52.97
SCALE THAN JUST
THE SABBATH ALONE.
00:22:52.97\00:22:57.44
AND AS YOU SAID IN SOCIETY,
THE IMAGE OF THE MAN -- I HADN'T
00:22:57.44\00:23:01.64
REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT IT THAT
WAY, BUT IN SO MANY CASES THE
00:23:01.64\00:23:05.61
MAN IS THE COMEDIAN OF
THE FAMILY, THE GUY THAT GETS
00:23:05.61\00:23:08.75
TOGETHER WITH THE GUYS AND LOSES
ALL SENSE OF CONTROL FOR THE
00:23:08.75\00:23:13.69
WEEKEND, AND THEY ALMOST
CELEBRATE, YOU KNOW, GETTING
00:23:13.69\00:23:16.49
DRUNK, AND LOSING -- IT
JUST -- IT KIND OF BREAKS DOWN
00:23:16.49\00:23:20.43
THE VERY IMAGE
THAT GOD WANTS MAN --
00:23:20.43\00:23:22.90
>> YOU JUST LOOK AT THE -- IT'S
GONE FROM -- YOU KNOW, WHEN I
00:23:22.90\00:23:26.30
WAS A KID, IT WAS FATHER KNOWS
BEST, AND HE WAS THE PILLAR OF
00:23:26.30\00:23:31.84
THE FAMILY, AND HE WAS A MAN OF
COURAGE, AND HE HAD ANSWERS AND
00:23:31.84\00:23:37.75
THERE WAS A
RESPECT FOR THE FATHER.
00:23:37.75\00:23:40.55
AND NOW IT HAS
DEGRADED TO LIKE HOMER SIMPSON.
00:23:40.55\00:23:46.19
IT HAS BEEN ON FOR 20 YEARS, SO
PEOPLE ARE PROBABLY ACQUAINTED
00:23:46.19\00:23:50.83
WITH IT. HE IS A
BLITHERING IDIOT.
00:23:50.83\00:23:54.46
AND THAT'S HOW THE ROLE OF
FATHER AND HUSBAND IS BEING
00:23:54.46\00:23:58.90
PORTRAYED, AND IT HAS
BEEN DISCOURAGING, I THINK.
00:23:58.90\00:24:02.20
I THINK IT HAS BEEN
DEMORALIZING TO MEN.
00:24:02.20\00:24:05.91
IF YOU WANT TO CONCUR
YOUR ENEMY, DEMORALIZE THEM.
00:24:05.91\00:24:11.05
AND MEN HAVE BEEN SO OVERCOME
BECAUSE OF THE DEMORALIZING THAT
00:24:11.05\00:24:14.85
IS HAPPENING IN OUR CULTURE,
THAT I THINK THERE JUST NEEDS TO
00:24:14.85\00:24:18.42
BE A MESSAGE TO CALL THEM TO
RISE UP, TO TAKE COURAGE, AND
00:24:18.42\00:24:22.92
YOU CAN BE A MAN OF
GOD. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:24:22.92\00:24:25.53
>> YEAH. >> I
REMEMBER WHAT WAS THAT
00:24:25.53\00:24:28.26
LARGE MOVEMENT A
NUMBER OF YEARS AGO --
00:24:28.26\00:24:29.96
>> PROMISE KEEPERS. >>
PROMISE KEEPERS WAS ANOTHER
00:24:29.96\00:24:35.10
ONE -- >> YEAH,
GREAT MESSAGES ABOUT
00:24:35.10\00:24:37.67
CALLING MEN TO PURITY.
AND THE NEED HASN'T GONE AWAY.
00:24:37.67\00:24:41.38
>> NO. >> IT IS
GREATER THAN IT EVER
00:24:41.38\00:24:43.75
HAS BEEN. >> AND THE
NEED INCREASES AS YOU
00:24:43.75\00:24:46.41
GET CLOSER AND CLOSER TO THE END
OF TIME, BECAUSE ALL OF THOSE
00:24:46.41\00:24:52.02
FOUNDATIONS ARE BEING ERODED, SO
THE RETURN -- THE RETURN IS WHAT
00:24:52.02\00:24:55.72
GOD IS CALLING MEN TO DO.
WHERE DID YOU GET THE -- DID YOU
00:24:55.72\00:25:00.16
GET THIS IDEA FROM
JUST VIEWING SOCIETY?
00:25:00.16\00:25:02.63
WHERE DID THIS -- >>
WELL, YOU CAN SEE IT ALL
00:25:02.63\00:25:06.53
AROUND YOU IN EVERYTHING FROM
THE MEDIA AND THE ADS, AND THE
00:25:06.53\00:25:10.57
MAGAZINES, AND IT JUST SEEMS
LIKE -- THERE IS A -- THERE IS A
00:25:10.57\00:25:22.25
PUSH TO ERASE MASCULINITY.
AS THOUGH IT'S A BAD THING.
00:25:22.25\00:25:26.92
>> HUM. >> AND
THAT, I THINK, IS SAD.
00:25:26.92\00:25:30.79
BECAUSE I THINK IT'S SOMETHING
THAT GOD DESIGNED.-I READ IN THE
00:25:30.79\00:25:35.56
BIBLE THE STORY OF DAVID.
WHO IS OUT IN THE WILDERNESS,
00:25:35.56\00:25:38.90
AND IT SAYS THAT THERE CAME
UNTO HIM -- AND THIS IS IN FIRST
00:25:38.90\00:25:46.74
-pSAMUEL. THERE CAME UNTO
HIM ALL OF THESE MEN WHO WERE
00:25:46.74\00:25:52.38
DISCOURAGED OR DISCONTENT, AND
HE GATHERS THESE MEN AROUND HIM,
00:25:52.38\00:25:59.02
AND HE TURNS THEM INTO THE
MIGHTY MEN THAT END UP BECOMING
00:25:59.02\00:26:04.09
A CRACK FIGHTING FORCE
WHERE HE STARTS OUT WITH 400.
00:26:04.09\00:26:07.23
IT TURNS INTO 600, AND THEY
ENDED UP BECOMING AN ARMY THAT
00:26:07.23\00:26:14.24
NEVER LOST A BATTLE.
JESUS IS OUR SONOF DAVID.
00:26:14.24\00:26:17.61
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
AND AS DISCOURAGED MEN, AND
00:26:17.61\00:26:22.41
DISCONTENT MEN, AND DEMORALIZED
MEN, AS WE GATHER AROUND CHRIST,
00:26:22.41\00:26:27.92
HE CAN TURN US INTO AN ARMY
OF PEOPLE GOING FORTH TO CONCUR.
00:26:27.92\00:26:36.32
WE'LL PUT ON THAT ARMOR OF
GOD, AND WE'LL BE VICTORIOUS.
00:26:36.32\00:26:40.60
>> AND IT ALL HAS TO DO
WITH THE EROSION OF OUR FAITH.
00:26:40.60\00:26:45.60
YOU FIND THE SAME THING
WITH PAUL AS HE IS TAKEN AS A
00:26:45.60\00:26:49.27
PRISONER TO ROME, HE SAID TO
THE MEN WHO LOST COURAGE IN THAT
00:26:49.27\00:26:53.24
VESSEL THAT WAS BEING SHAKEN
MIGHTILY, HE SAID, YOU KNOW,
00:26:53.24\00:26:57.51
TAKE HEART. AND HE
TALKED ABOUT MEN AND THE
00:26:57.51\00:27:01.22
STRUGGLE OF LIFE, LOSING HEART,
AND THESE MEN WERE FAMILIAR WITH
00:27:01.22\00:27:06.35
HOW TO HANDLE A VESSEL.
FOR THE FIRST TIME THEY WERE IN
00:27:06.35\00:27:10.03
A STORM -- >> AND
THEY THOUGHT ALL HOPE WAS
00:27:10.03\00:27:14.10
GONE. >> AND
JESUS WITH THE DISCIPLES
00:27:14.10\00:27:17.73
AGAIN, HE SAID OH,
YE OF LITTLE FAITH.
00:27:17.73\00:27:24.97
>> YEAH, AND THEY
HAD BECOME DISCOURAGED.
00:27:24.97\00:27:28.31
>> DO YOU THINK THE EROSION
OF MASCULINITY IN SOCIETY IS THE
00:27:28.31\00:27:33.95
REASON WHY THERE'S SUCH PUSH FOR
WOMEN TO TAKE OVER THE ROLE THAT
00:27:33.95\00:27:38.59
MANY MEN HAVE LEFT UNFULFILLED?
>> YEAH, I THINK IT'S ALL
00:27:38.59\00:27:44.06
WORKING TOGETHER. I
THINK IT'S DEMORALIZING MEN.
00:27:44.06\00:27:48.33
I THINK THAT THERE'S A
VACUUM THAT IS BEING FILLED.
00:27:48.33\00:27:52.20
AND IT IS PERFECTLY NATURAL.
OUR CHURCH AND MANY CHURCHES
00:27:52.20\00:27:56.97
HAVE GONE THROUGH SOME VERY
EMOTIONAL DISCUSSIONS ON THE
00:27:56.97\00:28:02.61
VARYING ROLES OF MEN AND WOMEN.
AND A LOT OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS
00:28:02.61\00:28:06.55
WOULD NEVER HAVE HAPPENED IF
MEN WERE BEING MEN OF PURITY,
00:28:06.55\00:28:12.55
INTEGRITY, IF MEN WERE TREATING
WOMEN THE WAY THEY SHOULD BE
00:28:12.55\00:28:17.66
TREATED, YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE THOSE PROBLEMS.
00:28:17.66\00:28:20.40
I THINK THERE HAS BEEN A VACUUM
OF LEADERSHIP, VACUUM OF PURITY.
00:28:20.40\00:28:24.90
MEN HAVE TAKEN
ADVANTAGE OF WOMEN.
00:28:24.90\00:28:27.44
THEY FATHER
CHILDREN AND THEN THEY LEAVE.
00:28:27.44\00:28:29.50
THEY DON'T RAISE THEIR CHILDREN,
AND IT'S -- YEAH, THE WHOLE
00:28:29.50\00:28:33.27
FAMILY, NOT JUST IN
NORTH AMERICA, BUT YOU SEE IT
00:28:33.27\00:28:36.04
HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD.
FAMILIES ARE BREAKING DOWN, AND
00:28:36.04\00:28:39.25
A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE MEN ARE
LEAVING THEIR POST, AND THEIR
00:28:39.25\00:28:45.25
RESPONSIBILITY FOR PURITY --
A LOT OF THEM GET IN TROUBLE AND
00:28:45.25\00:28:48.49
START FAMILIES THAT WOULD
NEVER HAPPENED IF THEY HAD BEEN
00:28:48.49\00:28:52.36
MAINTAINING
PURITY. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:28:52.36\00:28:54.10
>> AND IRRESPONSIBILITY,
STARTING SOMETHING AND THEN THEY
00:28:54.10\00:28:59.43
ARE NOT GOING TO BE THERE FOR
THOSE CHILDREN THAT THEY RAISE
00:28:59.43\00:29:02.94
UP. AND JUST INTHING GRATY, YOU
00:29:02.94\00:29:05.44
KNOW? IT SAYS
WHO IS GOING TO BE IN
00:29:05.44\00:29:08.08
THE MOUNTAIN OF THE
LORD? WE NEED TO KEEP OUR VOWS.
00:29:08.08\00:29:12.15
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
AND I'M TRYING TO GUARD
00:29:12.15\00:29:15.12
MYSELF, BECAUSE I DON'T WANT
TO ACTUALLY SHARE EVERYTHING I'M
00:29:15.12\00:29:17.92
GOING TO SAY IN MY MESSAGES
IN ABOUT A WEEK, BUT YEAH --
00:29:17.92\00:29:21.59
>> BUT THAT'S
WHERE IT IS HEADED.
00:29:21.59\00:29:23.49
AND THE VACUUM THAT IS
HAPPENING IN OUR WORLD.
00:29:23.49\00:29:26.13
AND ON THE OTHER SIDE A
LOT OF THIS SOMETIMES IS BEING
00:29:26.13\00:29:31.30
ORCHESTRATED, BECAUSE YOU FIND
THIS DESIRE TO REPLACE -- ON ONE
00:29:31.30\00:29:34.77
SIDE IS THE MEN NOT FULFILLING
THEIR POST, ON THE OTHER SIDE IS
00:29:34.77\00:29:39.91
EQUAL WORK, EQUAL PAY, EQUAL
RESPONSIBILITY, AND WHILE THOSE
00:29:39.91\00:29:44.15
THINGS IN THE FINANCIAL INDUSTRY
MIGHT BE GOOD, GOD NEVER PUT MEN
00:29:44.15\00:29:48.45
AND WOMEN ON THE SAME
ROLE -- IN THE SAME ROLE.
00:29:48.45\00:29:52.55
THE MASCULINE ROLE AND THE
FEMININE ROLE IS NOT THE SAME
00:29:52.55\00:29:57.29
WHEN IT COMES TO THE FAMILY.
>> THOMAS JEFFERSON SAID WE HOLD
00:29:57.29\00:30:02.30
THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT.
WOMEN MAKE MUCH BETTER MOTHERS
00:30:02.30\00:30:09.50
THAN MEN DO. THAT'S
A SELF-EVIDENT TRUTH.
00:30:09.50\00:30:13.11
AND THERE ARE THINGS
THAT MEN DO MUCH BETTER.
00:30:13.11\00:30:16.08
>> UH-HUH. >> BUT
IT SEEMS LIKE NO ONE
00:30:16.08\00:30:18.88
TALKS ABOUT THAT. AND I
THINK -- YOU KNOW, IT IS
00:30:18.88\00:30:21.58
TRUE THAT WOMEN, GENERALLY
SPEAKING ARE MORE RELATIONAL
00:30:21.58\00:30:27.52
ORIENTED, AND MEN ARE MORE
TASK ORIENTED, BUT IT IS OFTEN
00:30:27.52\00:30:31.19
TREATED LIKE THAT IS A DEFECT.
MAYBE -- YOU AND I WERE TALKING
00:30:31.19\00:30:34.60
BEFORE THE PROGRAM. YOU
SAID, YOU KNOW, GOD MADE US
00:30:34.60\00:30:38.73
ONE IN THAT THERE ARE
CHARACTERISTICS THAT MEN AND
00:30:38.73\00:30:42.70
WOMEN HAVE THAT TOGETHER
REFLECT THE IMAGE OF GOD.
00:30:42.70\00:30:45.94
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> BOTH ARE NEEDED.
00:30:45.94\00:30:48.84
AND THAT'S -- GOD TELLING
ADAM SO SUBDUE THE EARTH.
00:30:48.84\00:30:54.28
WE WANT A TASK. WE WANT
TO ACCOMPLISH A JOB, AND
00:30:54.28\00:30:58.05
WE BECOME ALL FOCUSED,
AND THAT'S NOT ALL BAD.
00:30:58.05\00:31:01.49
>> NO. >> AND
MEN JUST NEED TO BE
00:31:01.49\00:31:04.63
ENCOURAGED THAT SOME OF
THESE THINGS THAT DIFFERENT, YOU
00:31:04.63\00:31:07.20
SHOULD FEEL GOOD
ABOUT. >> THAT'S TRUE.
00:31:07.20\00:31:10.43
>> YEAH. >> THAT'S TRUE.
00:31:10.43\00:31:11.87
AND WHEN WE CELEBRATE THE THINGS
THAT GOD GAVE TO US, WE REFLECT
00:31:11.87\00:31:16.54
THE IMAGE THAT GOD INTENDED
TO BE REFLECTED IN SOCIETY.
00:31:16.54\00:31:20.11
>> YEAH. >> THERE
IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT
00:31:20.11\00:31:22.84
GOT STARTED A NUMBER OF YEARS
AGO, BIG BROTHER, TEACHING YOUNG
00:31:22.84\00:31:27.18
BOYS WHO DIDN'T HAVE FATHER
FIGURES HOW TO BE MEN AS THEY
00:31:27.18\00:31:30.29
GREW UP, AND THEY ADOPTED A BIG
BROTHER, OR BIG BROTHER ADOPTED
00:31:30.29\00:31:34.79
A LITTLE BROTHER, AND THEY
SHOWED THEM HOW TO BE A MEN --
00:31:34.79\00:31:38.63
>> THEY MENTOR THESE
KIDS. AND DISCIPLE THEM.
00:31:38.63\00:31:43.80
>> AND FATHER'S DAY IN SOME
PLACES IS A TRAGEDY.-THE FATHER
IS MISSING, OR WITH
00:31:43.80\00:31:49.30
HIS OTHER FAMILY, OR IT'S A
HOLIDAY THAT SOME PEOPLE JUST
00:31:49.30\00:31:53.88
DON'T LOOK FORWARD TO. >>
WELL, YEAH, THE MOTHER'S DAY,
00:31:53.88\00:31:58.81
THE CARDS AND FLOWERS AND PHONE
CALLS, IT MUST BE LIKE 70 TIMES
00:31:58.81\00:32:04.65
MORE THAN WHAT
HAPPENS IN FATHER'S DAY.
00:32:04.65\00:32:06.79
AND A LOT OF PEOPLE STRUGGLE IN
THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH FATHERS.
00:32:06.79\00:32:11.06
AND A LOT OF TIMES THAT IS
BECAUSE FATHERS JUST WEREN'T
00:32:11.06\00:32:14.93
THERE. THEY WERE ALIVE, BUT THEY
00:32:14.93\00:32:17.50
WEREN'T THERE, SO THAT'S
ANOTHER PART OF THE REASON.
00:32:17.50\00:32:19.87
AND IT'S NOT THAT I'M
AN EXPERT ON THESE THINGS.
00:32:19.87\00:32:23.10
SOME OF WHAT I'M GOING TO SHARE
I'M TALKING ABOUT MAKING BAD
00:32:23.10\00:32:29.21
DECISIONS. AND
WANTING TO SAY IT'S REALLY
00:32:29.21\00:32:31.78
IMPORTANT THAT PARENTS
BE THERE FOR THEIR KIDS.
00:32:31.78\00:32:34.42
I THINK A LOT OF FATHERS REFLECT
AND SAY I WISH I HAD SPENT MORE
00:32:34.42\00:32:39.49
QUALITY TIME WITH
MY KIDS AND SPOUSE.
00:32:39.49\00:32:41.82
WE GET SO TASK-ORIENTED THAT
SOMETIMES YOU CAN TAKE THAT TOO
00:32:41.82\00:32:46.83
FAR. >> RIGHT.
00:32:46.83\00:32:47.46
I CAN GO BACK AND SAY SALOMON
WAS PROBABLY ONE OF THE WISEST
00:32:47.46\00:32:53.87
MEN, BUT YOU WOULD BE IF
YOU WERE MARRIED TO 700 WOMEN.
00:32:53.87\00:32:59.17
HE MADE SO MANY BAD CHOICES,
THAT AS HE WENT ON LATER AND
00:32:59.17\00:33:05.25
WROTE THE BOOK OF PROVERBS,
HE SPENT CHAPTER AFTER CHAPTER
00:33:05.25\00:33:11.82
AFTER CHAPTER GIVING
MEN ADVICE ABOUT WOMEN.
00:33:11.82\00:33:15.89
>> AND IN PROVERBS HE
GIVES SPECIAL GUIDANCE TO AVOID
00:33:15.89\00:33:21.40
ADULTERY, AND IT IS ALMOST LIKE
HE IS REFLECTING ON, LOOK, I
00:33:21.40\00:33:27.70
LEARNED THIS BY EXPERIENCE.
AND SAMSON, DAVID, SALOMON, THEY
00:33:27.70\00:33:34.58
ALL GOT IN TROUBLE IN
THAT AREA. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:33:34.58\00:33:41.62
>> AND SALOMON. >> AND ABRAHAM.
00:33:41.62\00:33:45.45
>> AND ABRAHAM.
HE FELL IN THAT AREA.
00:33:45.45\00:33:52.46
SO IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
MEN TO HEAR THESE MESSAGES.
00:33:52.46\00:33:56.46
I'M GLAD -- WE DON'T HAVE TO SAY
EVERYONE, BUT JOSEPH, HE WAS A
00:33:56.46\00:34:00.77
BLAZING SUCCESS IN THAT
DEPARTMENT WHEN HE WAS TEMPTED
00:34:00.77\00:34:03.77
DAY AFTER DAY, THE BIBLE SAID HE
WOULD NOT BE WITH ANOTHER MAN'S
00:34:03.77\00:34:10.81
WIFE. AND NOW
I'M GETTING INTO MY
00:34:10.81\00:34:14.55
MESSAGES. >> OKAY.
00:34:14.55\00:34:15.68

HOW MANY
COUNTRIES HAVE YOU BEEN TOO?
00:35:19.28\00:35:22.35
DO YOU EVEN KNOW? >> I
WOULD HAVE TO SIT DOWN AND
00:35:22.35\00:35:25.02
GET A PIECE OF PAPER AND PENCIL.
WE WENT TO ALL OF THE MAYOR

CITIES IN SOUTH AFRICA. WE
DID MEETINGS IN FIJI AND NEW
00:35:29.76\00:35:36.50
ZEALAND, WE HAVE BEEN TO KOREA,
CHINA, RUSSIA, ENGLAND, FRANCE,

AND GOD HAS LESS --
BLESSED. I NEVER DREAMED.
00:35:48.58\00:35:55.72
I WENT TO LIVE IN A CAVE TO LIVE
OUT MY DAYS NICE AND QUIET AND
00:35:55.72\00:36:01.56
THE LORD HAS BLESSED. >>
PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR IS A
00:36:01.56\00:36:06.73
VERY PUBLIC MAN, BUT HE LIKES TO
BE IN SOLITUDE SOMETIMES, JUST
00:36:06.73\00:36:12.63
UNPLUGGING FROM THE WORLD --
>> YOU HAVE BEEN TO OUR PLACE UP
00:36:12.63\00:36:15.37
IN THE WOODS THERE. WE
RECENTLY HAD -- FINALLY AFTER
00:36:15.37\00:36:20.01
YEARS OF AMAZING FACTS WE
INVITED OUR CAMERAMAN UP TO THE
00:36:20.01\00:36:26.88
CA CABIN, AND A LOT OF PEOPLE
00:36:26.88\00:36:28.45
ENJOYED THAT. >> YOU
CAN FIND IT ON YOUTUBE
00:36:28.45\00:36:32.22
COUNTRY LIVING -- >>
DOUG BATCHELOR AMAZING FACTS.
00:36:32.22\00:36:37.19
>> YEAH, IT'S A
REALLY, REALLY GOOD VIDEO.
00:36:37.19\00:36:40.16
30 MINUTES LONG. IF
IT IS IN THE COUNTRY, GOD
00:36:40.16\00:36:48.87
MADE IT. IF IT IS
IN THE CITY, CHANCES
00:36:48.87\00:36:53.64
ARE GOD DIDN'T MAKE IT.
I FOUND OUT AN AMAZING FACT
00:36:53.64\00:37:00.98
ABOUT LONDON. SOMEBODY
SAID IT IS ABOUT AS BIG
00:37:00.98\00:37:04.35
AS MANHATTAN.
MANHATTAN IS 33.6 CHOIR MILES,
00:37:04.35\00:37:10.96
MANMAN. >> LONDON,
607 SCARE -- SQUARE
00:37:10.96\00:37:20.50
MILES. IT TOOK
FOUR AND A HALF HOURS TO
00:37:20.50\00:37:22.90
GO SOMEWHERE IN TRAFFIC. SO
THE CHALLENGES ARE GREAT, BUT
00:37:22.90\00:37:26.94
THE LORD HAS
ALLOWED YOU TO GO THERE.
00:37:26.94\00:37:31.71
IF YOU COULD, NARROW DOWN IN
YOUR MINISTRY SOMETHING THAT HAS
00:37:31.71\00:37:35.12
BEEN THE GREATEST CHALLENGE WHEN
IT COMES TO NEW AUDIENCES, WHEN
00:37:35.12\00:37:38.79
IT COMES TO GOING TO A
CITY. BECAUSE YOU HAVE SO MANY
00:37:38.79\00:37:43.63
SERMONS. HOW DO YOU
DETERMINE WHAT SERMON
00:37:43.63\00:37:45.43
TO PREACH WHEN YOU GO TO ALL
OF THESE DIFFERENT PLACES AROUND
00:37:45.43\00:37:48.56
THE WORLD? >>
WELL, THAT IS A GOOD
00:37:48.56\00:37:52.53
QUESTION. IT VARIES.
00:37:52.53\00:37:55.27
BUT I HAVE TO JUST PRAY
AND ASK THE HOLY CITY TO GUIDE.
00:37:55.27\00:38:01.54
AND I WAS IN JAKARTA.
YOU TALK ABOUT GOING VERY FEW
00:38:01.54\00:38:07.15
MILES. THAT'S THE
ONLY OTHER PLACE I
00:38:07.15\00:38:08.78
KNOW OF WHERE IT TOOK US
ABOUT 45 MINUTES TO GO A MILE.
00:38:08.78\00:38:12.35
>> WOW. >> AND
YOU GO SOME OF THESE
00:38:12.35\00:38:14.89
PLACES AND LOOK AT THE CULTURE
AND TALK TO THE PEOPLE, AND I
00:38:14.89\00:38:17.89
THOUGHT I HAD A SERIES PREPARED,
AND AFTER YOU ARE THERE, AND
00:38:17.89\00:38:23.33
VISIT, AND PRAY, THE LORD PUTS
SOMETHING ELSE ON YOUR HEART,
00:38:23.33\00:38:27.84
AND YOU DON'T
EVEN ALWAYS KNOW WHY.
00:38:27.84\00:38:34.24
AND YOU CHANGE
YOUR ILLUSTRATIONS.
00:38:34.24\00:38:36.28
SOMETIMES IT MIGHT BE THE SAME
SERMON, BUT THE ILLUSTRATIONS
00:38:36.28\00:38:40.38
THAT YOU BRING IN TO TEACH THE
SUBJECT, THEY MAY CHANGE FROM
00:38:40.38\00:38:45.49
ONE AUDIENCE TO THE NEXT, AND I
AM ALWAYS PRAYING, AND YOU KNOW
00:38:45.49\00:38:49.29
ME, I'LL BE LOOKING AT PEOPLE'S
FACES, AND YOU ARE THIS WAY TOO,
00:38:49.29\00:38:53.80
AND AN IDEA, THOUGHT, IMPRESSION
COMES TO ME, AND IT'S SOMETHING
00:38:53.80\00:38:59.37
TOTALLY OUT OF THE NOTES.
>> YEAH, AND SOMETIMES PEOPLE
00:38:59.37\00:39:02.34
WILL SAY WHERE
DID THEY COME FROM?
00:39:02.34\00:39:04.77
AND WE KNOW AT THAT MOMENT GOD
IS PORING INTO US IN A WAY HE
00:39:04.77\00:39:09.41
KNOWS HOW TO REACH HIS
PEOPLE WHEREVER WE ARE.
00:39:09.41\00:39:12.11
YOU GO TO INDONESIA, THEN
SWITZERLAND, THEN CHINA, THE
00:39:12.11\00:39:17.75
CULTURES ARE SO DIVERSE, AND THE
REACTIONS ARE ALSO VERY DIVERSE.
00:39:17.75\00:39:22.46
IN THE WEST INDIES YOU
GET AN AMEN EVERY TEN SECONDS.
00:39:22.46\00:39:30.60
>> YOU KNOW I THINK ONE OF
THE REASONS THAT THE LORD HAS
00:39:30.60\00:39:34.27
BLESSED OUR MINISTRIES IS IN
NEW YORK CITY GOING UP -- AND
00:39:34.27\00:39:38.71
UNLESS A PERSON HAS BEEN THERE,
IT IS AN INTERNATIONAL EXPOSURE
00:39:38.71\00:39:42.84
TO HUMANITY, BECAUSE YOU
CAN CROSS THE STREET AND GO FROM
00:39:42.84\00:39:46.21
GERMANY TO ITALY, AND THEN YOU
CROSS THE STREET AND YOU ARE IN
00:39:46.21\00:39:50.79
CHINA. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:39:50.79\00:39:51.95
>> AND YOU GO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL
IN NEW YORK, AND YOU LEARN ABOUT
00:39:51.95\00:39:55.82
ALL KINDS OF
CULTURES AND PEOPLE.
00:39:55.82\00:39:58.49
AND IT HELPS YOU LATER TO
RESPECT AND UNDERSTAND SOME OF
00:39:58.49\00:40:01.90
THESE DIFFERENCES WHEN
YOU COMMUNICATE WITH PEOPLE.
00:40:01.90\00:40:04.43
>> THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT.
AND I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE, I
00:40:04.43\00:40:07.87
THINK THIS IS THE
PLACE TO REPEAT IT.
00:40:07.87\00:40:10.01
IF YOU WERE RAISED IN NEW YORK
CITY, YOU SHOULD GET A MASTER'S
00:40:10.01\00:40:15.04
DEGREE IN COMMUNICATION.
I LEARNED WHEN I WENT TO
00:40:15.04\00:40:20.95
CALIFORNIA, THEY SAID WHEN YOU
ARE SPEAKING TO SOMEONE LOOK AT
00:40:20.95\00:40:23.99
THEM ONLY, AND I HAD TO LEARN
THAT AS I GOT OLDER IN MINISTRY,
00:40:23.99\00:40:28.79
BECAUSE I'LL BE RIGHT
THERE, SURE NO PROBLEM.
00:40:28.79\00:40:32.06
WHAT DID YOU SAY? >> AND
NEW YORKERS ALL INTERRUPT
00:40:32.06\00:40:36.20
EACH OTHER LIKE I
JUST DID WITH YOU.
00:40:36.20\00:40:38.07
>> EXACTLY. AND WE
ALL UNDERSTAND EAH OTHER
00:40:38.07\00:40:40.74
VERY, VERY WELL. ON THE
TOPIC OF BIBLE SUBJECTS,
00:40:40.74\00:40:44.27
WHICH HAS BEEN -- WE HAVE 28
FUNDAMENTALS, WHICH HAS BEEN ONE
00:40:44.27\00:40:48.74
OF YOUR FAVORITE
SUBJECTS TO TALK ABOUT?
00:40:48.74\00:40:51.11
>> WELL, A COUPLE. ONE
-- FIRST ONE WITHOUT A DOUBT
00:40:51.11\00:40:55.78
WAS THE SUBJECT ABOUT HELL.
BECAUSE AMONG THE SCHOOLS I WENT
00:40:55.78\00:40:59.59
TO WERE A COUPLE OF CATHOLIC
SCHOOLS, AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS
00:40:59.59\00:41:03.93
PRETTY MUCH AN ATHEIST, MY
CONCEPT OF GOD WHEN I STARTED
00:41:03.93\00:41:09.70
THINKING MAYBE THERE IS
A GOD AND JESUS IS REAL.
00:41:09.70\00:41:14.17
YOU ARE GOOD AND GO TO HEAVEN,
PLAY A HARP IN THE CLOUDS OR
00:41:14.17\00:41:19.67
SOMETHING, BUT IF YOU WERE BAD
YOU GO TO MEDIEVAL HELL AND THE
00:41:19.67\00:41:26.25
PRIEST SAID YOU BURN FOREVER
AND EVER AND EVER, AND WHEN I
00:41:26.25\00:41:32.22
LEARNED THAT THE WICKED AREN'T
PUNISHED THROUGH ETERNITY.
00:41:32.22\00:41:35.89
THERE IS NO
MORE PAIN AND SORROW.
00:41:35.89\00:41:39.33
WHEN I LEARNED THAT, I THOUGHT
GOD WAS A GOD OF JUSTICE.
00:41:39.33\00:41:43.37
I USED TO THINK GOD WAS
A STATIST IF HE WAS REAL.
00:41:43.37\00:41:48.77
HOW COULD ANY GOD FIND ANY
PLEASURE FOR TORTURING PEOPLE
00:41:48.77\00:41:55.84
FOR ETERNITY FOR THE
SINS OF A FLASH OF TIME.
00:41:55.84\00:41:59.25
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >>
FOR ME, WHEN I TEACH THAT
00:41:59.25\00:42:02.75
SUBJECT -- BECAUSE I REMEMBER
THAT FINALLY MADE IT POSSIBLE TO
00:42:02.75\00:42:08.29
LOVE GOD. BECAUSE
INSIDE I THOUGHT HE IS A
00:42:08.29\00:42:11.69
TYRANT THAT HE WOULD
TORTURE PEOPLE LIKE THAT.
00:42:11.69\00:42:13.96
YOU HAVE SOME 12 YEAR OLD,
COMMITTED SUICIDE OR DIES LOST,
00:42:13.96\00:42:19.43
AND HE IS GOING TO BURN FOREVER
AND EVER JUST AS LONG AS ADOLPH
00:42:19.43\00:42:27.78
HITLER OUR STALIN OR
ALL OF THESE OTHER --
00:42:27.78\00:42:29.88
>> YEAH, AND YOU THINK
ABOUT THAT, THAT IS THE
00:42:29.88\00:42:34.52
TOPIC -- OUTIDE OF THE FACT
THAT IT IS NOT TRUE, IT DAMAGES
00:42:34.52\00:42:38.02
THE CHARACTER OF GOD.
AND IT MAKS GOD THAT IS A GOD
00:42:38.02\00:42:41.79
THAT JUST -- KEEP
BURNING, JUST WITHER.
00:42:41.79\00:42:44.83
I ASKED THE QUESTION ONCE, I
-SAID WHERE WILL THESE PEOPLE BE
00:42:44.83\00:42:49.70
TORMENTED. AND SOMETIMES YOU SAY
WHAT TEXT CAN I ACTUALLY USED TO
00:42:49.70\00:42:53.44
LET PEOPLE KNOW THAT WICKED
PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO BE
00:42:53.44\00:42:56.10
AROUND FOREVER. AND ROMANS 6:23.
00:42:56.10\00:43:02.51
AND I ASKED -- >> SAME THING.
00:43:02.51\00:43:04.01
>> AND I ASKED THE SIMPLE
QUESTION, WHO RECEIVES ETERNAL
00:43:04.01\00:43:10.32
RIGHT. PEOPLE SAY
THE RIGHTEOUS, I SAID
00:43:10.32\00:43:12.25
WHO RECEIVES THE
WAGES OF SIN, DEATH.
00:43:12.25\00:43:15.36
WELL, THE WICKED.
WELL, HOW CAN THE WICKED BURN
00:43:15.36\00:43:20.26
FOREVER IF THEY
DON'T LIVE FOREVER.
00:43:20.26\00:43:24.47
>> THE DEVIL TOLD
EVE, YOU WILL NOT DIE.
00:43:24.47\00:43:27.87
BUT JESUS SAYS WHOSOEVER
BELIEVES IN HIM HAS EVER LASTING
00:43:27.87\00:43:32.74
LIFE AND WILL NOT
PARISH. SO YOU GET TWO CHOICES.
00:43:32.74\00:43:37.85
EVER-LASTING LIFE
OR DEATH. THAT'S IT.
00:43:37.85\00:43:39.51
>> WE'RE STIMULATING THESE
TOPICS, WE'RE GOING TO GO TO
00:43:39.51\00:43:43.52
OTHERS HERE. BUT
YOU MIGHT HAVE BIBLE
00:43:43.52\00:43:46.29
QUESTIONS THAT
YOU WANT TO SEND IN.
00:43:46.29\00:43:48.12
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS FOR THE
SECOND HALF OF THE PROGRAM YOU
00:43:48.12\00:43:52.03
CAN SEND THEM BY EMAIL TO
LIVE@3ABN.TV, OR 618-627-4651.
00:43:52.03\00:44:01.90
AND PASTOR DOUG AND I -- WE'RE
GOING TO -- WE'RE GOING TO HAVE
00:44:01.90\00:44:06.68
SOME OTHER GUESTS FOR THE SECOND
HALF OF THE PROGRAM, BUT THOSE
00:44:06.68\00:44:10.75
ARE QUESTIONS BECAUSE SOMEBODY
IS WATCHING THE PROGRAM THAT MAY
00:44:10.75\00:44:14.12
OR MAY NOT HAVE THE SAME BELIEFS
THAT WE ESPOUSE TO, AND MAY HAVE
00:44:14.12\00:44:21.02
QUESTIONS. PEOPLE
MAY SAY, GOD IS NOT THAT
00:44:21.02\00:44:23.83
KIND OF GOD, GOD IS LOVE.
AND THA HAS BEEN A BIG QUESTION
00:44:23.83\00:44:28.00
IN THE FIND OF SO MANY PEOPLE.
>> THERE ARE OF VERSES IN THE
00:44:28.00\00:44:32.23
BIBLE THAT CREATION CONFUSION.
>> IF LEFT BY THEMSELVES.
00:44:32.23\00:44:35.60
>> YEAH, BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT
ALL OF THE VERSES TOGETHER IT IS
00:44:35.60\00:44:39.97
CRYSTAL CLEAR, AND ANY
BIBLE-BELIEVING CHRISTIAN -- ONE
00:44:39.97\00:44:43.51
OF MY FAVORITE THINGS TO DO IS
SIT DOWN WITH THE BIBLE AND SAY,
00:44:43.51\00:44:47.75
LET'S FIND OUT WHAT
THE BIBLE REALLY SAYS.
00:44:47.75\00:44:51.69
I DID THIS WITH A PASTOR
ONE DAY, AND HE SAID I HAVE SEEN
00:44:51.69\00:44:55.52
THESE VERSES THAT SAYS THE
WICKED WILL BE CONSUMED, NO MORE
00:44:55.52\00:45:01.46
PAIN, ALL THINGS NEW, AND THEY
SAY IT LOOKS LIKE THEY ARE NOT
00:45:01.46\00:45:06.30
BURNING FOREVER, BUT IF I TOLD
MY CONGREGATION THAT, THEY WON'T
00:45:06.30\00:45:10.37
COME TO CHURCH. I SAID
ARE THEY COMING TO CHURCH
00:45:10.37\00:45:13.78
BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID THEY ARE
GOING TO BURN FOREVER IF THEY
00:45:13.78\00:45:17.75
DON'T? THAT IS
THE WRONG REASON TO
00:45:17.75\00:45:21.45
SERVE GOD. YEAH.
00:45:21.45\00:45:22.95
SO -- YEAH. AND WE
LIKE TO MAKE IT CLEAR
00:45:22.95\00:45:25.42
THAT ACTUALLY WHAT WE BELIEVE
ABOUT HELL IS EVEN HOTTEST THAN
00:45:25.42\00:45:29.86
THE BAPTIST HELL. >> OKAY.
00:45:29.86\00:45:31.96
MAKE THAT CLEAR.
THAT'S A VERY GOOD POINT.
00:45:31.96\00:45:35.53
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
BECAUSE THE TYPICAL BAPTIST
00:45:35.53\00:45:37.50
THAT SAYS YOU GO TO HELL
AND BURN FOREVER AND FOREVER.
00:45:37.50\00:45:41.50
THAT'S JUST A SLOW ROTISSERIE.
OUR HELL IS SO HOT THEY WILL BE
00:45:41.50\00:45:47.31
BURNED UP. WE
BELIEVE IN PUNSHMENT, BUT WE
00:45:47.31\00:45:50.01
BELIEVE IT BURNS UP,
AND THAT'S WHAT JESUS SAID.
00:45:50.01\00:45:52.75
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> IT
SAID DON'T FEAR HIM WHO
00:45:52.75\00:45:55.82
CAN DESTROY THE BODY, BUT CANNOT
HURT YOUR SOUL, RATHER FEAR HIM
00:45:55.82\00:46:02.02
WHO CAN DESTROY SOUL
AND BODY. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:46:02.02\00:46:04.59
>> SO IT'S PRETTY CLEAR.
>> SO THE SOUL IS NOT IMMORTAL
00:46:04.59\00:46:09.56
EITHER. >> ONLY
GOD AND GOD ONLY HAVE
00:46:09.56\00:46:13.07
IMMORTALITY. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:46:13.07\00:46:14.84
SOMEBODY ONCE ASKED ME DIDN'T
ADAM AND EVE HAVE IMMORTALITY
00:46:14.84\00:46:19.74
WHEN THEY WERE CREATED.
AND THEY WOULD HAVE RECEIVED
00:46:19.74\00:46:27.32
IMMORTALITY AS A GIFT
IF THEY WERE OBEDIENT.
00:46:27.32\00:46:30.95
WHAT IS THE NEXT
TOPIC YOU LIKE TO DISCUSS?
00:46:30.95\00:46:37.29
HELL IS A FREEING ONE. >>
WELL, THE SECOND COMING OF
00:46:37.29\00:46:41.10
JESUS, IS OF COURSE -- I'M
A SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST, AND
00:46:41.10\00:46:47.60
ADVENTISTS ARE EXCITED
ABOUT THE RETURN OF JESUS.
00:46:47.60\00:46:51.14
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY IT IS
NOT GOING TO GO ON LIKE THIS
00:46:51.14\00:46:54.44
FOREVER. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:46:54.44\00:46:55.44
>> WE JUST GOT DONE WITH A
MAGAZINE THAT JUST CAME OUT A
00:46:55.44\00:46:59.05
LITTLE MORE THAN A WEEK AGO,
CALLED THE DAY OF THE LORD, AND
00:46:59.05\00:47:03.45
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL 90-PAGE
MAGAZINE THAT IS FILLED WITH
00:47:03.45\00:47:07.46
ILLUSTRATIONS THAT FOCUSES
ON SIGNS OF JESUS COMING, IT'S A
00:47:07.46\00:47:11.36
GREAT WITNESSING TOOL.
SO WE'RE REAL EXCITED ABOUT
00:47:11.36\00:47:15.26
THAT. WE
DEVELOPED A WEBSITE CALLED
00:47:15.26\00:47:19.57
RAPTURETRUTH.COM. SO
WHEN PEOPLE WANT TO KNOW
00:47:19.57\00:47:20.94
ABOUT THE SECOND COMING -- A LOT
OF MISUNDERSTANDINGS ABOUT IS
00:47:20.94\00:47:25.97
THE RAPTURE SECRET. AND
LET PEOPLE KNOW, HEY, THE
00:47:25.97\00:47:29.04
LORD IS COMING SOON. >>
REMEMBER HE IS DECEASED NOW,
00:47:29.04\00:47:34.48
BUT REMEMBER HARROW CAMPING.
WE HAD A NUMBER OF PHONE CALLS
00:47:34.48\00:47:40.59
WE WOULD MAKE TO HARROW CAMPING
WHEN HE WOULD TALK ABOUT HELL.
00:47:40.59\00:47:45.39
WHAT ABOUT THE SABBATH?
BECAUSE YOU HAD TO LEARN ABOUT
00:47:45.39\00:47:48.60
THE SABBATH IN A
VERY UNUSUAL WAY.
00:47:48.60\00:47:51.83
>> WELL, MY MOTHER WAS JEWISH,
SO I KNEW ABOUT THE SABBATH.
00:47:51.83\00:47:56.40
WE WERE PRETTY
MUCH SECULAR JEWS.
00:47:56.40\00:47:58.57
SO I KNEW ABOUT IT FROM THE
FAMILY AND FRIENDS, BUT WHEN I
00:47:58.57\00:48:02.54
READ THE BIBLE AND I
ACCEPTED JESUS, I KEPT THINKING,
00:48:02.54\00:48:06.51
EVENTUALLY I'M GOING TO COME
TO THAT VERSE WHERE JESUS IS.
00:48:06.51\00:48:10.19
NOW I HAVE CHANGED
IT TO THE FIRST DAY.
00:48:10.19\00:48:12.75
EVERYONE TOLD ME THAT, I SAID
IT HAS TO BE IN THERE, I JUST
00:48:12.75\00:48:18.76
HAVEN'T FOUND IT YET, AND I
KEPT READING, AND IT JUST WASN'T
00:48:18.76\00:48:23.83
THERE. WHEN I WAS LIVING IN THE
00:48:23.83\00:48:26.57
MOUNTAINS, I WENT FROM
ONE CHURCH TO THE NEX, AND I
00:48:26.57\00:48:30.21
BELIEVED THERE WILL BE MILLIONS
OF PEOPLE WHO WENT TO CHURCH ON
00:48:30.21\00:48:32.81
THE FIRST DAY OF THE
WEEK. I WANT TO MAKE THAT CLEAR.
00:48:32.81\00:48:36.41
BUT IF YOU ARE GOING TO GO TO
THE BIBLE, THERE IS NO QUESTION
00:48:36.41\00:48:39.81
ABOUT -- IT SAYS THE
SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH.
00:48:39.81\00:48:43.02
THERE IS NO COMMAND TO
KEEP THE FIRST DAY HOLY.
00:48:43.02\00:48:51.19
AND WE BOTH READ THAT
BOOK "THE GREAT CONTROVERSY."
00:48:51.19\00:48:55.96
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
>> HOW OLD WER YOU?
00:48:55.96\00:48:59.40
>> ABOUT 17. THAT
WAS MY BREAK TRUE.
00:48:59.40\00:49:02.84
>> AND IT BRINGS OU HOW THE
SABBATH HAS BEEN ECLIPSED BY
00:49:02.84\00:49:09.54
TRADITION. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:49:09.54\00:49:10.38
>> AND WHEN I LEARNED ABOUT
THAT, AND THE BLESSINGS THAT
00:49:10.38\00:49:13.11
PEOPLE ARE MISSING BECAUSE
OF THAT, THAT IS ANOTHER.
00:49:13.11\00:49:15.72
AND THERE IS A WEBSITE
CALLED SABBATHTRUTH.COM.
00:49:15.72\00:49:22.12
IT'S THE NUMBER
ONE WEBSITE ON GOOGLE.
00:49:22.12\00:49:25.03
IF YOU TYPE IN THE WORD SABBATH,
YOU HAVE 92 OPTIONS ON THE FIRST
00:49:25.03\00:49:31.43
PAGE. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:49:31.43\00:49:32.97
YOU KNOW, I LOVE
AMAZING FACTS WEBSITE.
00:49:32.97\00:49:35.97

CONFERENCE PASTOR, BUT WHENEVER
I'M LOOKING FOR QUICK LINKS TO

SEND TO PEOPLE THAT NEED A

00:50:20.88\00:50:24.85
STUDIES WITHOUT
EVEN SAYING A WORD.
00:50:24.85\00:50:29.36
LET THE BIBLE STUDY BE THE
ONE THAT PLANTS THOSE SEEDS.
00:50:29.36\00:50:33.33
>> IT GREATLY INCREASES THE
VISIBILITY WHEN PEOPLE LIKE A
00:50:33.33\00:50:38.77
WEBSITE. WHEN
PEOPLE ARE SEARCHING THEY
00:50:38.77\00:50:40.87
FIND IT. AND
THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE BEEN
00:50:40.87\00:50:43.30
AFTER. I SAW A
VIDEO A FEW YEARS AGO
00:50:43.30\00:50:45.91
WHEN THESE GUYS WERE IN SOUTH
AMERICA IN SOME TRIB BU TERRY OF
00:50:45.91\00:50:56.52
THE AMAZON. AND
THEY PULL OUT THIS NIGHT
00:50:56.52\00:51:00.19
SCOPE AND SIGN IT ON THE WATER,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE FISH GET
00:51:00.19\00:51:04.09
SO EXCITED THEY START JUMPING
OUT OF THE WATER, AND THE BOAT
00:51:04.09\00:51:08.26
FILLS UP WITH FISH.
THEY DON'T HAVE A NET, THEY
00:51:08.26\00:51:11.70
DON'T HAVE A HOOK,
THEY ARE FISHING WITH LIGHT.
00:51:11.70\00:51:14.40
AND I THOUGHT THAT'S AN
ILLUSTRATION OF WHAT YOU ARE
00:51:14.40\00:51:17.64
DOING WHEN YOU
HAVE THE INTERNET.
00:51:17.64\00:51:19.34
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> YOU
ARE OUT THERE, AROUND THE
00:51:19.34\00:51:22.31
WORLD, SPREADING LIKE BEAMS OF
LIGHT THE MESSAGES OF TRUTH SO
00:51:22.31\00:51:26.48
YOU ARE HOPING PEOPLE WILL FINE
THESE WEBSITES WHEN THEY ARE
00:51:26.48\00:51:29.95
GOING TO STUDY, THE TRUTH ABOUT
HELL WEBSITE, SABBATH, DEATH,
00:51:29.95\00:51:35.69
SECOND COMING OR RAPTURE,
AND PEOPLE ARE STUDYING.
00:51:35.69\00:51:39.53
AND TRUTH
TRANSFORMS. IT SETS YOU FREE.
00:51:39.53\00:51:42.56
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK THE NUMBER
1 ROADBLOCK HAS BEEN TO PEOPLE
00:51:42.56\00:51:48.14
ACCEPTING THE TRUTH
ABOUT MANY OF THESE TOPICS.
00:51:48.14\00:51:50.84
THE BIBLE IS NOT A BOOK OF
CONFUSION, BUT SO MANY FAITHS
00:51:50.84\00:51:55.01
HAVE SPRINGBOARDED FROM THE
BIBLE, THAT SAID, WELL, THIS IS
00:51:55.01\00:51:58.68
WHAT I BELIEVE, THIS IS
WHAT I HAVE BEEN TAUGHT.
00:51:58.68\00:52:02.62
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE ROADBLOCK
IS TO PEOPLE SAYING I KNOW THE
00:52:02.62\00:52:07.89
BIBLE, I ACCEPT
THAT. >> THE DEVIL.
00:52:07.89\00:52:11.06
PRETTY BIG
ROADBLOCK. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:52:11.06\00:52:14.56
>> BUT THE OTHER THING IS JESUS
SAID YOU WILL FIND ME WHEN YOU
00:52:14.56\00:52:19.60
ARE SEARCHING WITH YOUR HEART.
I DIDN'T FIND HIM RIGHT AWAY,
00:52:19.60\00:52:23.87
BUT JESUS SAID IF YOU ARE
WILLING TO DO HIS WILL, THE
00:52:23.87\00:52:27.98
NUMBER ONE CRITERIA IS A
SURRENDER AND WILLINGNESS.
00:52:27.98\00:52:31.35
GOD WANTS TO REVEAL HIMSELF TO
THOSE THAT ARE WILLING TO DO HIS
00:52:31.35\00:52:37.25
WILL. DESIRE --
SEEK AND YOU WILL FIND
00:52:37.25\00:52:40.09
ME. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:52:40.09\00:52:41.99
>> SO MANY PEOPLE REALLY WANT TO
KNOW THE TRUTH, AND IF THEY ARE
00:52:41.99\00:52:45.03
WILLING TO DO THE TRUTH
WHEN THEY KNOW IT, GOD MAKES IT
00:52:45.03\00:52:49.56
RESPONSIBLE TO MAKE IT
KNOWN. >> THAT'S RIGHT.
00:52:49.56\00:52:52.30
>> AND HE WILL SHOW
US IF HE IS SEARCHING.
00:52:52.30\00:52:56.97
>> AND THE TRUTH
ALSO BRINGS FREEDOM.
00:52:56.97\00:52:58.57
WHAT WE'RE NOT SEEING IS
THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIFFERENT
00:52:58.57\00:53:02.58
BELIEFS ARE SHUT OUT OF HEAVEN.
THAT'S NOT WHAT WE'RE SAYING.
00:53:02.58\00:53:06.18
WE BELIEVE THE LORD LOVES YOU
WHEREVER YOU MIGHT BE IN YOUR
00:53:06.18\00:53:09.25
FAITH COMMUNITY, AND ACCEPTS YOU
WHERE YOU AR, BUT THE WORK OF
00:53:09.25\00:53:13.15
THE HOLY SPIRIT, HE NEVER LEAVES
YOU WHERE HE FINES YOU, BECAUSE
00:53:13.15\00:53:18.19
THE BIBLE SAYS THE SPIRIT WILL
LEAD YOU AND GUIDE YOU INTO ALL
00:53:18.19\00:53:23.06
TRUTH. SO DON'T FEAR TRUTH.
00:53:23.06\00:53:24.70
>> YEAH, EVERY ELEMENT OF TRUTH
A PERSON LEARNS, IF A PESON
00:53:24.70\00:53:31.64
LEARNS THE TRUTH ABOUT TITHE,
THERE IS A BIBLE VERSE THERE.
00:53:31.64\00:53:35.94
IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT
GOD CAN'T BLESS THEM.
00:53:35.94\00:53:38.95
IF YOU LEARN THE TRUTH ABOUT
HONORING YOUR FATHER AND MOTHER,
00:53:38.95\00:53:42.48
YOUR DAYS WILL BE LONG UPON THE
LAND THAT THE LORD GIVES YOU.
00:53:42.48\00:53:47.46
SO EVERY STEP OF TRUTH THAT WE
ADVANCE, BLESSINGS COME WITH IT.
00:53:47.46\00:53:51.93
>> AND SO WE -- WE TRY TO TEACH
THE FULL GOSPEL, BECAUSE PEOPLE
00:53:51.93\00:53:58.50
THAT ARE BLESSED,
THE TRUTH SETS THEM FREE.
00:53:58.50\00:54:02.00
>> THERE WAS A BOOK CALLED "THE
SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE
00:54:02.00\00:54:07.01
PEOPLE." ONE OF
THE STEPS OF A HIGHLY
00:54:07.01\00:54:09.34
EFFECTIVE CHRISTIAN IS LET
THE BIBLE SPEAK AND SIPLY FOLLOW
00:54:09.34\00:54:12.71
IT. AND I WAS
LIKE, CAN YOU IMAGINE
00:54:12.71\00:54:14.98
DRIVING IN YOUR CAR, I KNOW
WE HAVE DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS, I
00:54:14.98\00:54:19.29
CAN'T MAKE THIS A SOLID LASER
ANALOGY, BUT SOMETIMES WE'RE
00:54:19.29\00:54:23.76
GOING TO AN UNFAMILIAR PLACE AND
WE'RE ARGUING WITH THE GPS, AND
00:54:23.76\00:54:28.00
WE DON'T KNOW WHERE WE ARE --
>> I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN RIGHT A
00:54:28.00\00:54:32.47
COUPLE OF TIMES
WHEN GPS WAS WRONG.
00:54:32.47\00:54:35.84
>> RIGHT. >> I
THOUGHT I KNOW TRAFFIC IS
00:54:35.84\00:54:38.67
GOING TO BE REALLY BAD, I KNOW
I BETTER DISOBEY THE GPS RIGHT
00:54:38.67\00:54:43.68
NOW. >> AND IN THAT CASE --
00:54:43.68\00:54:45.35
>> BUT, YEAH. >> BUT
THE BIBLE ALWAYS GUIDES
00:54:45.35\00:54:48.72

AS WE GET READY TO TRANSITION
INTO THE SECOND HOUR OF THE

PROGRAM. WHAT IS
YOUR OTHER TOPIC THAT
00:55:56.62\00:55:59.02
YOU LIKE -- HOW LONG HAVE
YOU BEEN A VEGETARIAN RIGHT NOW?
00:55:59.02\00:56:04.29
BY THE WAY. >> I
HAVE BEEN A VEGETARIAN,
00:56:04.29\00:56:08.40
PROBABLY -- OH, 38
YEARS. AND I HAVE BEEN A VEGAN
00:56:08.40\00:56:13.20
VEGETARIAN, AND I FEEL SO MUCH
BETTER SINCE I BECAME A VEGAN
00:56:13.20\00:56:18.57
VEGETARIAN, FOR
EIGHT YEARS NOW. >> OKAY.
00:56:18.57\00:56:21.51
>> AND I JUST
BREATHE SO MUCH BETTER --
00:56:21.51\00:56:24.98
>> NO MORE CONGESTION. >> YEAH.
00:56:24.98\00:56:27.08
YOU KNOW I WAS
ADDICTED TO ICE CREAM.
00:56:27.08\00:56:29.55
>> OH, MAN,
LET'S GO TO HOGGEN DAS.
00:56:29.55\00:56:35.82
THAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE THING
TO DO AFTER OUR MINISTRIES.
00:56:35.82\00:56:39.13
SO MANY OF THE STORIES YOU
TELL AND I TELL, DOUG IS IN THAT
00:56:39.13\00:56:44.90
STORY SOMEWHERE. HE
TALKS ABOUT DRIVING WITH THE
00:56:44.90\00:56:47.57
MOUSE IN THE CAR, AND WHEN THE
PLANE ALMOST RAN OUT OF FUEL.
00:56:47.57\00:56:52.17
AND WE HAVE GROWN IN TO MANY
WAYS, AND AS WE ARE GROWING IN
00:56:52.17\00:56:58.85
CHRIST, WE'LL
NEVER STOP GROWING.
00:56:58.85\00:57:00.85
>> WE'LL CONTINUE TO
LEARN. >> CONTINUE TO LEARN.
00:57:00.85\00:57:02.95
>> YEAH. >>
BECAUSE CAN YOU IMAGINE THE
00:57:02.95\00:57:05.72
MIND OF GOD? >> NO.
00:57:05.72\00:57:07.12
>> THAT IS GOING TO MESS YOU
UP. BUT SO -- SO THE TOPIC OF
00:57:07.12\00:57:12.09
VEGANISM? >> YEAH, WELL, I WAS
00:57:12.09\00:57:14.40
JUST -- I -- THE HEALTH MESSAGE
WAS SUCH A BLESSING FOR ME
00:57:14.40\00:57:18.43
TO -- TO LEARN, AND I HAD SEEN
AND LEARNED THE HARD WAY THAT
00:57:18.43\00:57:23.91
NOT LIVING BY THE PRINCIPLES
IN BIBLE OF TAKING CARE OF YOUR
00:57:23.91\00:57:30.08
BODY, THAT YOU BREAK DOWN, AND
YOU DON'T HAVE A LONG LIFE, AND
00:57:30.08\00:57:33.98
YOU DON'T HAVE AN ABUNDANT LIFE,
SO THAT WAS ANOTHER AMAZING
00:57:33.98\00:57:38.95
TRUTH. >> I THINK IN THE BOOK OF
00:57:38.95\00:57:42.32
