BROTHER RON YOU HAVE BEEN IN 03:07 OKLAHOMA. HE GOES TO OKLAHOMA AND PREACHES 03:10 FOR A WHILE, AND WE DON'T SEE HIM FOR A WHILE, AND THEN HE 03:17 COMES BACK AGAIN. >> YEAH, I WAS OUT THERE FOR SIX 03:23 AND A HALF MONTHS. WE WERE IN CHARGE OF EAGAN 03:41 VELISM. >> WHEN WE WERE KIDS AT HOME, 03:44 THEY KNEW THE YOUNGEST BRTHER, DANNY NEVER SHUT UP, AND THE 03:48 NEXT TO THE YOUNGEST NEVER TALKED. 03:51 IF I WAS THE OLDER, I WOULD SAY MAYBE I DIDN'T GIVE HIM A 03:56 CHANCE. BUT MY MOM USED TO SAY, RONNIE 04:01 IS A MAN OF FEW YEARS. >> I ALWAYS SAY ONCE WE GET TO 04:07 HEAVEN WON'T MOM BE SURPRISE THAT I TURNED INTO A PREACHER. 04:12 >> WEREN'T WE ALL SURPRISED BY THAT. 04:15 YOU WERE PRETTY QUIET UNTIL -- WHAT, YOUR 50S? 04:19 >> I WAS IN MY 50S. >> AND THEN THE LORD CALLED YOU 04:24 TO PREACH. DIDN'T THAT FEEL STRANGE WHEN 04:28 YOU ALWAYS TRIED TO GET AWAY FROM BEING UP FRONT. 04:31 >> ONCE YOU ARE DOING WHAT GOD ASKS YOU TO DO, HE ALWAYS FILLS 04:36 YOU. YOU ARE ALWAYS NERVOUS, BUT AS 04:38 SOON AS YOU STAND UP AND OPEN THE WORD, ALL OF THE NERVES JUST 04:43 STOP. >> ABOUT 25-PLUS YEARS AGO, 04:48 RONNY AND I WENT TO LOW MELINDA. I HAD TO SERVICE UP THERE. 04:54 AND AFTER IT WAS OVER, SOMEBODY SAID, RONNY HOW DID YOU FEEL 05:01 YOUR LITTLE BROTHER SPEAKING LIKE THAT. 05:03 AND HE SAID HE JUST TALKED. HE WENT AN HOUR WITHOUT 05:10 STOPPING. HE JUST TALKED AND TALKED. 05:12 ISN'T THAT AMAZING. RONNY SAID, YEAH, I'M GLAD TO 05:17 SEE ALL OF THAT HOT AIR TURN INTO SOMETHING GOOD AFTER ALL OF 05:20 THESE YEARS. [ LAUGHTER ] 05:22 >> SO AS I KID, I JUST TALKED ALL THE TIME. 05:25 MY BROTHERS WOULD SAY TO MY DAD AND MOM -- AND I SANG ALL THE 05:30 TIME TOO. >> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING TO 05:32 SAY, IF HE WASN'T TALKING HE WAS SINGING. 05:35 >> THAT'S RIGHT. AND MY BROTHERS WOULD SAY WOULD 05:41 YOU MAKE HIM SHUT UP. AND MY DADDY WOULD SAY, AS LONG 05:46 AS HE IS HAPPY JUST LET HIM BE. AND THEN HE WOULD SAY LOOK AT 05:50 HIM, HE IS NOT ALL THERE, JUST LET HIM BE HAPPY. 05:54 >> HE TOLD ME ONCE YOU WERE TAKING OUT THE TRASH, AND YOU 05:58 WERE OUT THERE IN THIS EVENING JUST SINGING, AND LOOKING AT THE 06:02 STARS. HE SAID YOU WERE ALWAYS SINGING. 06:05 >> YEAH, DID THAT. MY BROTHERS WOULD GET UPSET 06:09 BECAUSE WE HAD TO TAKE TURNS DOING THE DISHES, AND I WAS 06:13 TAKING THE TRASH OUT TO THE ALLEY, AND I WOULD GO OUT THERE 06:17 AND FORGET WHAT I WAS DOING, AND THEY COULDN'T DO ANYTING ELSE 06:21 UNTIL THEY FINISHED THE DISHES. AND THEY WOULD BE SAYING GET IN 06:27 HERE QUIT SINGING. BRING US THOSE PANS SO WE CAN 06:30 GET ON WITH OUR BUSINESS. BUT ANYWAY, RONNY THANK YOU FOR 06:34 JOINING US. >> THANK YOU FOR THE INVITATION. 06:37 IT IS GOING TO BE GOOD. >> IT IS. 06:39 AND WE'RE GOING TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT CAMP MEETING. 06:43 CAMP MEETING IS JUST FOUR WEEKS AWAY. 06:45 >> YES. >> AND SHELLEY QUINN WE WANT YOU 06:48 TO TELL US ABOUT CAMP MEETING. THIS IS GOING TO BE AN EXCITING 06:52 TIME. I HOPE YOU ARE PLANNING ON 06:54 COMING HERE FOR CAMP MEETING. >> I'M JUST SO EXCITED THAT 06:57 PEOPLE ARE SO EXCITED. WE'RE GETTING SO MANY PHONE 07:00 CALLS ON THIS, AND WE ARE HEARING THAT YOU CAN'T WAIT TO 07:04 COME. WHAT WE'RE DOING THIS YEAR, 07:06 OUR -- THIS IS ONE OF THOSE MAJOR THEMED, BIG-THEMED CAMP 07:11 MEETINGS. AND THE OVERARCHING THEME IS 07:14 EXPOSING THE COUNTERFEIT. AND WE'RE GOING TO KICK THIS OFF 07:18 BEFORE CAMP MEETING STARTS, WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THREE GO 07:25 EVANGELISM TEAMS SEMINARS AND THAT'S GOING TO BE WEDNESDAY 07:28 FROM 1:00 TO 4:00, BUT THEN THAT EVENING, WE KICK IT OFF WITH 07:34 MUSIC AND NATHAN REN ARDS STARTS WITH IS THE BIBLE JUST FICTION. 07:41 C.A. MURRAY CAN EVOLUTION BE PROVEN AND ON THURSDAY IS THE 07:47 DEVIL REAL, ARE THERE MANY PATHS TO HEAVEN? 07:51 WAS SALVATION FINISHED AT THE CROSS? 07:54 WERE THE TEN COMMANDMENTS NAILED TO THE CROSS. 07:56 THAT'S ME. IS THE HOLY SPIRIT A PERSON. 08:01 IS SPEAKING IN TONGUES THE EVIDENCE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 08:12 MARK HOWARD WILL THEN DO WHY YOU CLAIM THERE IS A SANCTUARY IN 08:18 HEAVEN. JAMES RAFERTY WILL BE SPEAKING 08:22 ON HAS GOD PREDESTINED WHOM HE WILL SAVE. 08:25 ED REED IS GOING TO SPEAK ON IS SUNDAY THE LORD'S DAY. 08:31 AND THAT WILL BE A GREAT PRESENTATION. 08:33 AND THEN THAT EVENING DOUG BACHELOR, IS OH -- OBEDIENCE 08:44 [ INAUDIBLE ]. AND THEN WE'LL KICK IT OFF WITH 08:50 SABBATH SCHOOL PANEL. THEN DANNY YOU HAVE THE DIVINE 08:54 WORSHIP, AND THEN WE GET ON WITH THESE THEMES, IS THE MARK OF THE 08:59 BEAST A COMPUTER CHIP. WILL THERE BE A SECRET RAPTURE? 09:06 IS HELL A PLACE OF UNENDING TORTURE? 09:09 AND IF I'M A CHRISTIAN, SHOULD I FEAR GOD'S JUDGMENT. 09:14 THAT'S JAMES RAFERTY. WE REALLY BELIEVE THIS BEGINS 09:19 WEDNESDAY JUNE 7TH AND THAT GOES THROUGH THAT SABBATH. 09:22 >> AND ALL OF THOSE FOLK ARE GOING TO BE HERE. 09:24 >> ALL OF THOSE FOLK ARE GOING TO BE HERE WITH INCREDIBLE MUSIC 09:29 GUESTS I'LL LET YOU TELL US ABOUT. 09:33 BUT GOD GAVE US ALL 18 TOPICS IN LIKE THREE TO FOUR MINUTES IN 09:39 ANSWER TO PRAYER. SO WE BELIEVE THAT THIS IS WHAT 09:41 THE LORD HAS ORDAINED, AND WE'RE VERY EXCITED ABOUT IT, AND WE 09:46 JUST HOPE THAT -- OH, IF YOU CAN COME, PLEASE COME. 09:50 FIRST OF ALL IT IS SO MUCH FUN TO SEE YOU AGAIN, OR TO MEET YOU 09:54 FOR THE FIRST TIME. LAST YEAR WE HAD SO MANY WHO 09:57 WERE HERE FOR THE FIRST TIME. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 10:00 >> BUT THE OTHER THING IS THERE'S AN ANOINTING -- THE 10:05 ANOINTING SEEMS RICHER AND MORE PALPABLE WHEN YOU ARE HERE. 10:09 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> BUT IF YOU CANNOT MAKE IT, BE 10:14 SURE TO TUNE IN. AND WE'LL REPAIR, BUT PLEASE 10:20 TUNE IN AND JOIN US, BECAUSE IT IS GOING TO BE SPECIAL. 10:24 >> ABSOLUTELY, AND I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY MOTOR HOME SPOTS WE 10:27 HAVE LEFT, BUT YOU CAN CALL DURING THE WEEKDAYS AND FIND 10:31 OUT. HOPEFULLY IF YOU WANT TO BRING 10:33 YOUR CAMPER OR MOTOR HOME OR WHATEVER, IF YOU WANT SOMETIMES 10:37 THEY BRING TENTS. WHATEVER YOU WANT TO DO, WE 10:40 WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU HERE. SO MAKE PLANS, THAT'S ONLY A FEW 10:44 WEEKS AWAY, AND MEET ALL OF THE FOLK THAT YOU SEE ON 3ABN 10:48 THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. AND I LOVE IT WHEN GOD DOES 10:51 SOMETHING SPECIAL. WE WERE PRAYING WHAT ARE WE 10:54 GOING TO DO FOR CAMP MEETING. SHELLEY QUINN COMES IN AND 10:58 LITERALLY THE LORD GIVES HER -- EVERY SUBJECT. 11:01 >> HE ACTUALLY GAVE ME 20 TOPICS, AND I WAS ROLLING MY 11:05 HAIR -- I WA USING MY CURLING IRON, AND I WAS SAYING OH, LORD, 11:10 WE NEED A TOPIC. WE NEED A TOPIC. 11:13 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AND I TOOK THE CURLING IRON 11:16 OUT OF MY HAIR, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN, I HAD TO GRAB A PEN AND 11:21 I JUST SAT THERE AND WROTE THAT FAST. 11:23 IT WAS THREE OR FOUR MINUTES. IT WAS AS FAST ASI COULD WRITE. 11:28 >> JOHN THAT'S WHEN YOU NOW IT IS THE LORD, RIGHT? 11:32 >> INSPIRATION. WHAT I LIKE ABOUT 3ABN, AND I 11:36 TALKED ABOUT THIS WITH YOU JUST A FEW DAY AGO, IT SAYS YOU STAY 11:40 TRUE TO THE VISION OF 3ABN TO COUNTER ACT THE COUNTERFEIT. 11:45 AND IT SEEMS LIKE EVERY YEAR THERE'S A NEW COUNTERFEIT, BUT 11:49 THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE WATCHING THE PROGRAM THAT HAVEN'T HEARD 11:52 ABOUT THE PRIOR PROGRAMS. THERE ARE NEW AUDIENCE 11:56 INDIVIDUALS THAT DIDN'T HEAR ABOUT SOME OF THESE TOPICS THAT 11:58 MAY HAVE BEEN COVERED TEN, 15 YEARS AGO. 12:02 AND YOU CAN NEVER GO WRONG WHEN THE TRUTH IS BEING PROCLAIMED IN 12:06 A DARK WELL. AND WHEREVER THERE IS LIGHT, IT 12:10 ALSO DISPELS THE DARKNESS. >> ABSOLUTELY. 12:13 AND YVONNE'S WORKING ON MUCH OF THE REST OF IT, AND BRENDA WALSH 12:20 AND OTHERS -- SHE TOLD ME NOT TO USE HER NAME. 12:23 SHE SAID I DON'T WANT PEOPLE TO THINK I'M DOING THINGS FOR 12:30 PEOPLE, BUT SHE DOES. AND I HAVE A NUMBER OF PEOPLE 12:34 HERE, CQ THAT IS HELPING, BUT WE HAVE A BOOK CALLED "SPIRITUAL 12:42 VIGILANTES". AND IF PEOPLE EVER NEEDED TO 12:45 KNOW THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN TRUTH AND ERROR, IT'S TODAY. 12:48 RIGHT NOW WE SEE CHURCHES DIVIDED OVER POLITICS. 12:52 WE TALK ABOUT THAT IN THIS BOOK. WE TALK ABOUT PEOPLE, WHETHER 12:56 IT'S ORGANIZATIONS OR CHURCHES THAT TAKE AUTHORITY OVER -- THEY 13:01 BECOME PHYSICAL VIGILANTES, SEEMS TO TAKE THE LAW IN ITS OWN 13:07 HANDS, AND SOMETIMES IT CAN BE PEOPLE IN AUTHORITY LIKE 13:12 POLICEMEN, BUT SPIRITUALLY, THE SAME THING, CHURCHES, CHURCH 13:17 LEADERS SOMETIMES TAKE THE LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS, BUT WE 13:20 TALK ABOUT HOW AMERICA HAS CHANGED IN THE LAST EVEN 40 TO 13:26 50 YEARS FROM THE LEAVE IT TO BEAVER DAYS TO MODERN FAMILY 13:31 WHERE IT'S ABOUT THE HOMOSEXUAL LIFESTYLE, WE TALK ABOUT THE 13:37 CHANGES -- ALL OF US ARE OLD ENOUGH, WE REMEMBER HOW THOSE 13:41 CHANGED STARTED IN THE 60S WITH THE HIPPIES AND THE MUSIC AND 13:46 ALL OF THESE THINGS THAT COME UP. 13:48 AND YOU COME UP WITH THE COUNTER-ACT, THE COUNTERFEIT. 13:55 EVEN BEFORE WE WALKED ON TODAY, PRESIDENT TRUMP SIGNED AN 14:00 EXECUTIVE ORDER -- >> THAT'S RIGHT. 14:02 FOR SO MANY YEARS WE HAVE HAD THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND 14:06 STATE. IT HAS BEEN TERMED THAT, AND I 14:08 THINK THROUGH THE JOHNSON ACT, IT WAS TO PREVENT CHURCHES FROM 14:13 BECOMING POLLING PLACES OR ACTIVE PARTICIPANTS NOT AS 14:18 CITIZENS OF THE CHURCH, BUT PREVENTING CHURCHES FROM 14:23 BECOMING A VOICE IN POLITICS BECAUSE THEY WERE TAX EXEMPT. 14:27 AND THE WHOLE IDEA WAS SINCE THEY ARE NOT PAYING TAXES THEY 14:30 SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO SWAY THE GOVERNMENT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. 14:35 BUT FORMER CHIEF JUSTICE -- HIS NAME ESCAPES ME RIGHT NOW -- BUT 14:40 HE SAID THE -- THE WALL BETWEEN CHURCH AND STATE IS A METAPHOR 14:45 THAT NEEDS TO BE ABOLISHED. >> JUSTICE SCALIA. 14:52 >> JUSTICE SCALIA, AND HE HAS PASSED NOW. 14:55 AND SO THAT WHOLE IDEA FOR MANY YEARS, WE HAVE HAD A LOT OF 15:00 EVOLUTIONS IN AMERICA IN THE SENSE OF TRYING TO CONTROL 15:03 POLITICS, THE CHURCH, BUT IF YOU LOOK BACK AT THE BIBLICAL TH 15:10 THEME,EST SPECIFICALLY IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, THE CHURCH 15:15 APPEALED TO THE STATE, AND THE STATE APIECED THE CHURCH BY 15:19 UNITED WITH IT TO PERSECUTE THOSE WHO PROCLAIMED THE GOSPEL. 15:23 AND SO WE HAVE THIS NEW ATMOSPHERE NOW, IN WHICH THE 15:28 SCHUR GOING TO TRY TO OPERATE, BUT WHILE THERE IS SOME GOOD AS 15:31 CITIZENS THAT WE CAN SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF 15:33 OUR GOVERNMENT, THE DOWN SIDE ABOUT THAT -- AND I THOUGHT 15:36 ABOUT THIS WHEN I HEARD IT. THE BIBLE SAYS IN REVELATION 15:42 THIS NATION TWO HORNS AS A LAMB SPEAK AS A DRAGON. 15:51 PROTESTANTISM IS LONG GONE IN AMERICA. 15:52 WE ARE NOT PROTESTING ANYTHING. WE ARE BEDFELLOWS WITH ROME. 15:56 WE HAVE TO TELL IT LIKE IT IS. >> THERE ARE SOME EXCLUSIONS TO 16:01 THAT. >> RIGHT, BUT FOR THE POST PART 16:06 PROTESTANTISM IN AMERICA -- ABOUT TEN YEARS AGO 16:08 THERE WAS A UNITED DOCUMENT, BUT IT WAS NOT SIGNED BY THE LEADING 16:13 PROTESTANT LEADERS, BUT SO MUCH SO NOW, GREAT LEADERS IN 16:19 PROTESTANTISM SAY WE HAE MORE IN FAVOR WITH ROME THAN NOT IN 16:24 FAVOR OF ROME. SO I CAN SEE AMERICA THAT ONE 16:29 DAY THROUGH ITS CHURCHES T THAT -- REP SENT THE LAMB WILL 16:40 SPEAK LIKE A DRAGON. AND THAT'S THE DELICATE 16:43 BALANCING ACT RIGHT NOW. >> I TRIED TO LOOK AT IT FROM 16:47 BOTH SIDES OF THE COIN, BECAUSE FOR ONE THING, THE LAST 16:51 ADMINISTRATION, IN FACT, HILLARY CLINTON WHEN SHE WAS RUNNING, I 16:54 WATCHED HER -- HERSELF SAY NOT A RUMOR BUT ON YOUTUBE, CHURCHES 16:59 IF SHE IS ELECTED, THEIR THEOLOGY WOULD HAVE TO MOVE OVER 17:03 TO ACCEPT THE GAY, LESBIAN, HOMOSEXUAL, AND ABORTION RIGHTS 17:07 AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS. SO OUR CHOICE WAS ARE WE GOING 17:12 TO HAVE THAT? AND THEN WE HAVE THE REPUBLICANS 17:14 WAY OVER HERE, AND THE DEMOCRATS WAY OVER HERE. 17:18 WHATEVER THE CASE IS, WE DO HAVE DONALD TRUMP AS PRESIDENT. 17:22 AND I HEARD ON THE NEWS THIS EVENING, PRESIDENT OF THE 17:27 BAPTIST CHURCH SAID I WASN'T NECESSARILY FOR IT, BUT HE IS 17:30 OUR PRESIDENT, SO WE WANT TO WISH HIM THE BEST AND PRAY FOR 17:35 THE BEST. THE GOOD PART IS THAT CHURCHES 17:39 CAN STAND UP OR MAKE STATEMENTS WITHOUT BEING -- DURING IN 2009, 17:46 WE WERE ONE OF THOSE, BUT A NUMBER OF CONSERVATIVE GROUPS, 17:51 MEDIA GROUPS WERE -- WHAT WOULD YOU CALL IT, IT WAS AN IRS -- IT 17:55 REALLY WASN'T -- IT WAS WORSE THAN AN INVESTIGATION, BUT THEY 18:00 WERE TARGETING PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THE SIDE YOU TAKE IN POLITICS. 18:03 SO NOW THIS LAW IS SAYING, WELL, THAT IS NOT GOING TO HAPPEN 18:08 ANYMORE. YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO THAT. 18:10 IT ALSO SAYS FOR A WHILE, WE MIGHT BE ABLE TO PREACH 18:15 SIN -- BECAUSE BEFORE WE WERE TOLD THAT HATE CRIMES -- OR HATE 18:20 SPEECHES, YOU CAN'T EVEN CALL SIN, SIN ANYMORE. 18:28 SO WE WERE SPEAKING RIGHT BEFORE THE PROGRAM STARTED, IT'S WHAT 18:31 ARE WE GOING TO DO AS INDIVIDUALS AND WHAT DO WE DO AS 18:35 A CHURCH? WE CAN'T HELP WHAT GOES ON 18:38 AROUND US, BUT WE NEED TO BE AWARE AND LOOK AT THESE THINGS 18:42 AND NOT AS SOON AS SOMETHING HAPPENS THIS IS WONDERFUL OR 18:45 THIS IS BAD. THE BIBLE SAYS IF IT WERE 18:50 POSSIBLE THE DEVIL WOULD RECEIVE THE VERY ELECT. 18:52 SO WE SHOULD -- AND WE'RE ENCOURAGING, YOU KNOW WHAT, WHEN 18:57 YOU SEE THESE THINGS HAPPENING, LET'S SEEK THE LORD. 19:00 LET'S PRAY ABOUT IT, AND LET'S NOT BE ONE OF THOSE, SHELLEY TO 19:07 COUNTER ACT AND COUNTERFEIT. AND MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T 19:10 BECOME THE COUNTERFEIT. SO I THINK YOUR POINT JOHN IS 19:17 WHATEVER IS HAPPENING AROUND US, WE HAVE A MISSION TO FULFILL AS 19:21 A CHURCH, AND JOHN SAYS HE WANTS TO PREACH TO DEMOCRATS, 19:25 REPUBLICANS, INDEPENDENTS, MUSLIMS AND EVERYBODY ELSE -- 19:29 >> THEY ALL NEED JESUS. >> THEY ALL NEED JESUS. 19:32 SO HE WANTS TO DO THAT, BUT I DO SEE THERE WILL BE CHURCHES WHO 19:36 WILL TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS, AND THIS COULD BE THE BEGINNING OF 19:41 ERODING AWAY OF SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE, SO WE DON'T 19:45 REALLY KNOW. WE ONLY KNOW THIS. 19:48 GOD IS IN CHARGE, BUT IT'S UP TO YOU AND ME TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF 19:52 THE TIME WE HAVE TO COUNTER ACT THE COUNTERFEIT. 19:58 AND THAT'S WHAT CAMP MEETING IS ALL ABOUT. 20:00 SO YOU ALL COME. WE WANT YOU TO COME AND BE WITH 20:03 US. IF YOU CAN'T, YOU CAN WATCH THE 20:06 PROGRAMS, BUT THERE'S NOTHING LIKE BEING HERE. 20:08 AM I TELLING THE TRUTH? >> THAT'S TRUTH. 20:10 AND YOU SAID THIS IS A THOUSAND TIMES AT LEAST. 20:13 WE KNOW THE BACK OF THE BOOK. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 20:17 >> AND GOD HAS BLESSED US AS A PEOPLE WITH A PROPHETIC VISION 20:22 THAT WILL ALLOW US TO STA ON THE RAILS OF PROPHETIC -INTEGRITY. 20:27 SO WHILE, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PEOPLE -- LIKE TENT STAKES, GOD 20:33 HAS GIVEN US SUCH A TIME LINE AND PROPHECY THAT WE KNOW HOW 20:37 THIS THING IS GOING TO WIND UP. >> AND WE WIN, BASICALLY, RIGHT? 20:41 IT SAYS WE COME IN BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB AND THE WORD OF THE 20:46 TESTIMONY. SHELLEY -- GO AHEAD. 20:48 >> EXCUSE ME. I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD EVEN 20:50 SAY THIS ON THE AIR -- >> TOO LATE NOW. 20:52 WE WANT TO HEAR IT. >> IT'S TOO LATE. 20:56 [ LAUGHTER ] >> I'M HEARING THINGS 20:58 THAT -- WE'RE SEEING MORE CHANGE IN THE LAST FEW YEARS AS FAR AS 21:05 SEXUAL ORIENTATION. WE HAVE A WHOLE GENERATION OF 21:09 CHILDREN -- A WHOLE YOUNG GENERATION WHO ARE BEING BROUGHT 21:12 UP TO EXPERIMENT WITH SEX THINKING THIS IS NORMAL, AND NOW 21:17 YOU ARE HEARING PAN SEXUALS. PEOPLE IN THE MUSIC INDUSTRY, 21:23 AND THE MOVIE INDUSTRY, WHO ARE PAN SEXUAL. 21:26 AND YOU ARE LIKE PAN SEXUAL? SO IF A CHILD IS BROUGHT UP 21:32 THROUGH SCHOOL, AND IF THEY SEE THEIR MUSIC IDOLS OR THE 21:37 TELEVISION IDOLS, AND PEOPLE ARE TALKING ABOUT ANYTHING GOES 21:42 EITHER WAY, DOESN'T MATTER WHAT GENDER, AND THINGS BEYOND WORSE 21:47 THAN PAN SEXUAL, AND I JUST FEEL THAT PERHAPS THIS MAY HAVE A 21:51 DOWN SIDE WHAT HAPPENED TODAY AS FAR AS THE EXECUTIVE ORDER. 21:55 BUT I FEEL LIKE IT'S GOD OPENING UP A WINDOW THAT IT IS TIME. 21:59 I THINK THE CHURCH HAS BEEN A LITTLE TOO QUIET, BECAUSE WE'RE 22:04 WORRIED ABOUT FREE SPEECH. IT'S TIME TO SPEAK UP ABOUT 22:08 GOD'S LOVE FO ALL PEOPLE, BUT HIS HATRED TOWARD SIN AND CALL 22:14 SIN, SIN. >> GOD'S LAW AND HIS LOVE. 22:18 RIGHT, RONNY. >> YEAH. 22:21 I WAS THINKING ABOUT WHEN THE ELECTION WAS TAKING PLACE, AND 22:26 EVERYBODY THOUGHT FROM DAY 1 UP UNTIL ELECTION NIGHT, TRUMP 22:32 DON'T HAVE A CHANCE. HE DOES NOT HAVE A CHANCE, AND 22:35 ABOUT HALFWAY THROUGH THINGS BEGAN TO CHANGE. 22:38 AND WE KNOW THAT GOD RAISES UP KINGS AND HE TAKES THEM DOWN. 22:42 WE HAVE TO SAY WHATEVER HAPPENED WAS GOD'S WILL THAT THAT IS THE 22:47 WAY IT TURNED OUT. AND I TOLD SOME PEOPLE THAT I 22:50 WAS AROUND THEN, I SAID I BELIEVE -- I HAVE TO LOOK AT 22:55 THAT AND SAY SINCE GOD RAISES UP KINGS AND TAKES THEM OUT, THAT 23:00 TRUMP FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS, HE HAS BROUGHT ALONG. 23:04 I DON'T KNOW WHY. I DON'T KNOW WHAT HIS AGENDA IS 23:07 GOING TO BE. BUT I BELIEVE HE IS ON THE SEEN 23:10 FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS. YOU TAKE A GUY WHO HAS NEVER RUN 23:16 FOR DOG CATCHER, AND HE RUNS FOR ONE OFFICE AND IT'S THE 23:21 PRESIDENCY AND HE WINS? WHAT IS THE CHANCE THAT THAT IS 23:26 JUST COINCIDENCE? NOT MUCH. 23:28 GOD HAS A PLAN FOR HIM, AND IT REMAINS TO BE SEEN WHAT IT IS. 23:32 >> ABSOLUTELY. OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS -- IS TO 23:35 RUN WITH IT. WHATEVER IT. 23:37 WHEN OBAMA GOT IN, AND THE FIRST FOUR YEARS DIDN'T SEEM SO BAD, 23:42 BUT THEN WHEN WE BROUGHT IN SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, A LOT OF 23:50 CHRISTIANS STARTED BACKING AWAY, BUT STILL GOD ALLOWED HIM TO BE 23:55 IN FOR SUCH AN HOUR AS THAT, IF NOTHING ELSE FOR US TO FOLLOW 24:01 EVENTS. NOW DONALD TRUMP WE DON'T KNOW 24:03 WHAT WILL HAPPEN, BUT IT DOESN'T MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE. 24:06 I'M GOING TO GO BACK TO JOHN, GOD IS REALLY IN CHARGE, JOHN, 24:12 BUT WE CAN'T BE TOO SIDETRACKED BY POLITICS. 24:19 SO WHATEVER HAPPENED TODAY, WE HOPE CHURCHES DON'T SPENDING 24:24 MORE TIME IN POLITIC THAN PREACHING THE GOSPEL. 24:28 >> AMEN. >> WE HAVE TO PREACH WHATEVER WE 24:30 BELIEVE IS TRUTH. AND I'M SO THANKFUL THAT 24:33 3ABN -- AND YOU SAID IT EARLIER -- AND I DON'T TAKE THE 24:36 CREDIT FOR THAT, BUT THE LORD IMPRESSED US TO BUILD A 24:40 TELEVISION STATION THAT WOULD REACH THE WORLD WITH AN 24:47 UNDILUTED 3 ANGELS' MESSAGES THAT WOULD COUNTER ACT THE 24:55 COUNTERFEIT BUT THE MESSAGE -- AND THANK GOOD FOR 25:01 BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND LEADERSHIP LIKE YOU ALL HERE, 25:03 THAT EVEN IF I WANTED TO LEAN LEFT OR TO THE RIGHT, YOU ARE 25:07 GOING TO BE HERE TO BRING ME BACK IN. 25:10 JOHN YOU HAVE BEEN WITH ME THROUGH A LOT OF PERSONAL UPS 25:13 AND DOWNS. SHELLEY, YOU ARE RIGHT THERE. 25:17 BROTHER RONNY, EVERYBODY IS THERE. 25:21 WE'RE ALL OF THE SAME MISSION. SO TONIGHT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT 25:25 THAT, AND IF NOTHING ELSE, NO MATTER WHAT IS HAPPENING AROUND 25:28 US, IT WOULD BE A GREAT TIME FOR US TO REDEDICATE OUR LIVES TO 25:32 THE LORD, AND SAY LORD, WE WAT TO COME TO YOU TONIGHT, COME TO 25:36 THE FOOT OF THE CROSS, SUBMIT AND COMMIT OUR LIVES TO YOU AND 25:43 THEN GO AND TELL WHAT GOD HAS DONE FOR YOU. 25:48 AND MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRAY WITH US, AND YOU MAY BE BY 25:53 YOURSELVES, YOU CAN REACH OUT, YOU KNOW, AND HOLD HANDS WITH 25:58 US, AND WANT TO PRAY WITH US, BECAUSE -- WE DON'T KNOW HOW 26:04 LONG WE HAVE. NONE OF US ARE GUARANTEED THAT 26:07 WE HAVE ANOTHER SECOND. THE GROUPS THAT WE GO EVERY 26:11 CHURCH WE TRAVEL IN, WE KNOW WE'LL NEVER MEET AGAIN. 26:15 THE OLD SONG "THE SIDE OF HEAVEN" LIKE THAT. 26:18 BECAUSE OF WHAT IS HAPPENING IN THE SICKNESS AND DISEASE, AND 26:23 SIN, AND DEATH AND ALL OF THESE THINGS HAPPENING. 26:26 SO TONIGHT IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM AND YOU HAVE NEEDS, 26:29 WE BELIEVE WE SERVE A CREATOR GOD THAT IS BIG ENOUGH TO RULE 26:35 THE MIGHTY UNIVERSE, YET SMALL ENOUGH TO LIVE IN OUR HEARTS. 26:40 AND HE ANSWERS EVERY PRAYER. I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO PRAY 26:46 WITH US. JOIN HANDS WITH US, AND I'M 26:49 GOING TO ASK SISTER SHELLEY WOULD YOU SAY A PRAYER FOR OUR 26:54 VIEWING AUDIENCE TODAY. >> HEAVENLY FATHER, ONCE AGAIN 26:59 WE PAUSE TO COME BEFORE YOU IN THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AND HOW 27:03 WE THANK YOU, LORD TO INVITE US TO COME BEFORE YOU AND YOUR 27:09 THROWN. LORD, WE FIRST WANT TO LIFT UP 27:13 OUR AUDIENCE.

IT'S JUST A FUN TIME. 29:32 AND IT AIRS ON SUNDAYS -- STARTS SUNDAY MAY 7TH, 9:00 AM, AND 29:40 THEN IT WILL REPEAT SUNDAY AT 10:30, MONDAY AT 5:30, AND 29:45 FRIDAY AT 2:30 P.M.

WE HAD A LITTLE JOKE THE ORE 30:16 DAY. I BROUGHT HIM SOME SONGS AND HE 30:19 SAID YOU SENT THEM DOUBLE-SPACED. 30:24 HE SAID MY DOUBLE SPACE IS BETWEEN THESE TWO EARS. 30:27 AND HE HAS THAT ABILITY -- >> AMAZIG. 30:33 >> -- AND HE WRITES IT LITERALLY BETWEEN THESE TWO EARS. 30:38 GOD HAS GIFTED HIM -- MORE THAN 30 YEARS OF AN INCREDIBLE GIFT. 30:42 YOU CANNOT SIT AT A PIANO AND DO WHAT TIM HAS DONE -- AND THERE 30:46 ARE VERY FEW PEOPLE THAT I HAVE MET THAT ARE LIKE THAT. 30:49 >> NO, AND YOU HAVE BEEN IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS FOR MANY -- 30 30:54 YEARS PLUS. AND YOU HAVE BEEN IN STUDIOS ALL 30:58 OVER THE COUNTRY -- >> AND HE IS HUMBLE ABOUT IT. 31:02 >> YEAH, HE IS. >> TIM IS A HUMBLE INDIVIDUAL, 31:09 AND IT REALLY IS MINISTRY. THANK THE LORD THAT HE IS A PART 31:14 OF THE 3ABN FAMILY. >> HE IS HER AHEAD OF OUR NEW 31:19 MUSIC CHANNEL CALLED PRAISE HIM. AND TINA IS THERE SOMETIMES. 31:24 AND HE HAD TRAVELED WITH NUMEROUS GROUPS OVER THE YEARS. 31:28 AND WE TALKED TO HIM SOME SOMETIME AGO, AND HE SAID HE 31:33 LOVES IT HERE IN SOUTHERN ILLINOIS, HE IS GETTING GROUNDED 31:39 HERE, PLANTING A GARDEN, AND GETTING INTO BEE KEEPING, WHICH 31:45 I'M HAPPY ABOUT IT. AND WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE HIM. 31:48 BUT THIS IS GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN, AS SHELLEY SAID BECAUSE YOU 31:52 ALL ARE DECIDING WHAT SOME OF OUR PROGRAMMING IS ALL ABOUT, 31:56 BECAUSE YOU ARE THE ONES REQUESTING THE SONGS AND TIM IS 32:00 JUST GOING TO -- GO AHEAD SHELLEY. 32:02 >> I WAS GOING TO SAY WHAT I LOVE ABOUT TIM IS HE IS ALWAYS 32:06 FULL OF JOY, AND HE IS QUITE THE BIBLE STUDENT. 32:11 >> OKAY. >> HE IS VERY -- HE'S -- HE'S 32:16 NOT A TYPICAL PERSON. TIM IS SO WELL ROUNDED IN SO 32:20 MANY AREAS, BUT HE IS VERY LOVING, AND WE'RE JUST EXCITED 32:25 TO HAVE HIM HERE. WHEN YOU SEE HIM ON TV, HE IS 32:29 EXACTLY LIKE THAT. >> ABSOLUTELY. 32:31 >> HE'S -- HE'S FUN. >> AND HE IS ACTUALLY BY NATURE 32:35 PRETTY SHY. HE IS HAVING TO LEARN TO BE IN 32:41 FRONT OF THE CAMERA. AND HE SAYS I'M REALLY HAVING TO 32:46 WORK AT THIS. THAT PART DOESN'T COME NATURAL 32:49 TO ME. WHEREAS JOHN -- SOME OF US CAN -pJUST GET UP AND TALK, AND JOHN 32:55 CAN DO BOTH. BUT HE HAS JUST COME OUT OF HIS 32:57 SHELL AND DONE AN INCREDIBLE JOB. 33:00 SO WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A SAMPLE OF IT RIGHT NOW, THE 33:04 OPENING, AND MAYBE ONE OF THE SONGS, STARTS HAPPENING THIS 33:08 SUNDAY, RIGHT? >> THIS SUNDAY. 33:10 >> OKAY. >> WELCOME TO YOUR FAVORITE BY 33:15 REQUEST, WITH ME TIM PARTON.

AND NOW YOUR FAVORITES BY 33:30 REQUEST. ♪ 33:33 >> THERE YOU ARE. HEY, YOU ARE HERE. 33:35 HI, WELCOME TO YOUR FAVORITES BY REQUEST. 33:38 ONE OF THE GREATEST EXPRESSES OF OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH IS THROUGH 33:45 VIBRANT SINGING AND WORSHIP. SONGS REMINDING US OF HIS LOVE 33:51 AND GRACE AND VICTORY OVER SIN AND DEATH. 33:54 I ENCOURAGE YOU TO GET INVOLVED AND SING OUT LOUD RIGHT WHERE 33:58 YOU ARE. THIS WEEK WE HAVE REQUESTS FROM 34:04 MAXINE, SANDRA IN FLORIDA, AND FROM ACROSS THE POND, HAZEL IN 34:09 LONDON. BUT FIRST I WANT TO START WITH A 34:11 SONG, WHO'S MELODY WAS WRITTEN BY A MUSIC TEACHER IN ALABAMA IN 34:20 1987. MR. A.J. SEWWATERER WAS WRITING 34:23 A LETTER OF CONDOLENCE WHEN DEUTERONOMY CAME TO HIS MIND THE 34:28 INTERNAL GOD IS YOUR REFUGE AND UNDERNEATH ARE THE EVER-LASTING 34:34 ARMS. HE THEN WROTE A LETTER TO HIS 34:39 FRIEND, A PENNSYLVANIA HYMN WRITER, WHO QUICKLY RESPONDED 34:43 WITH THREE VERSUS, AND A SONG WAS BORN. 34:47 WE CAN FIND STRENGTH IN PEACE IN EVEN THE MOST SORROWFUL 34:53 SITUATIONS. ♪ 36:58 >> AND ALL OF THE PEOPLE SAID -- >> AMEN SNFRJT. 37:03 >> AMEN. >> AND IF YOU WANT YOUR REQUEST 37:05 TO BE PLAYED JUST EMAIL TIM.PARTON@3ABN.TV. 37:29 SO I'M HIM AND JUST REQUEST ANYTHING YOU WANT. 37:32 >> ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. RONNY, YOU ARE A MUSICIAN, AND 37:37 YOU WOULD PROBABLY LIKE TO BE PLAYING ALONG ON THE BASE. 37:41 >> I THINK I JUST WAS IN MY MINE. 37:44 >> IN YOUR MIND. >> MY FOOT WENT TO WORK A WHILE 37:48 AGO. >> WE DID A PROGRAM, TIM, AND I, 37:54 AND SO MAYBE NEXT TIME, YOU CAN ADD A BASE, AND WE'LL MAKE HIM 37:59 DO THE SIMPLE STUFF. >> THAT'S ALL I CAN PLAY IS THE 38:03 SIMPLE. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 38:03 BUT IT'S A WONDERFUL PROGRAM. IT'S SOMETHING YOU WILL ENJOY, 38:07 AND AGAIN, IT IS TAKING US BACK TO OUR ROOTS AS A CHRISTIAN 38:12 CHURCH. NOWADAYS IT SEEMS LIKE SO MANY 38:15 CHURCHES THAT YOU GO TOO, YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY ARE 38:18 SINGING -- I WOULDN'T KNOW IF IT'S CHRISTIAN OR NOT, BECAUSE I 38:22 CAN'T HEAR THE WORDS, AND I HAVE NO IDEA WITH THE RHYTHM AND THE 38:27 WAY THE LEADERSHIP LOOKS. BUT PEOPLE HAVE SHOWN US OVER 38:31 THE YEARS, I WAS ON AN AIRPLANE NOT TOO LONG AGO JOHN, AND A GUY 38:39 SAID, HEY, I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR 3ABN. 38:42 HE SAID I'M A BAPTIST MINISTER, BUT HE SAID I ALWAYS TURN TO 38:46 3ABN BECAUSE YU HAVE THE BEST MUSIC ON GOSPEL TELEVISION -- HE 38:53 SAID ON CHRISTIAN TELEVISION. LOVE YOUR MUSIC. 38:57 AND I HEAR THAT QUITE OFTEN, BECAUSE WE TRY TO STICK WITH THE 39:02 SONGS THAT ARE UPLIFTING TO LORD JESUS CHRIST AND ARE THE 39:08 FOUNDATION AND PILLARS OF THE CHRISTIANTURE. 39:12 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> DR. YVONNE LEWIS STARTED THI 39:17 A FEW YEARS AGO. SHE HAS A BRAND NEW CD. 39:22 I THINK WE HAVE A COVER OF IT. "MAGNIFY HIM." 39:28 THAT'S A SONG SHE ACTUALLY WROTE. 39:31 ONE OF THE SONGS IS "PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME" WITH LANNY WOLFE. 39:39 SO THERE ARE SEVERAL ON HERE. SO SHE HAS COMBINED A NUMBER OF 39:43 SONGS WITH SOME NEW SONGS, AND SO THAT'S GOING TO PRESS 39:47 ACTUALLY THIS WEEK. SO YOU WANT TO CONTACT 3ABN 39:51 BECAUSE I THINK -- FOR DONATION OF ANY AMOUNT -- I THINK IT 39:55 IS -- I HOPE I'M NOT SPEAKING OUT OF TURN, SOMEBODY -- 39:59 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT IF YOU WANT ONE OF THOSE 40:05 DVD'S OR CD'S -- A WEEK OR SO AGO WENT WITH LANNY WOLFE DOWN 40:10 TO HOUSTON, AND A LOT OF FOLK FROM MANY DIFFERENT 40:14 DENOMINATIONS, THERE WAS THE UPC AND PENTECOSTAL AND SEVENTH-DAY 40:22 ADVENTISTS, WE WERE THERE TOO TO HELP CELEBRATE LANNY'S BIRTHDAY. 40:27 WELL, HE SAYS IT. I'LL LET HIM TELL YOU. 40:31 BUT THE FOLK THERE, SHE DID "PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME," AND 40:38 THERE IS SUCH AN ANOINTING ON THAT SONG. 40:40 AND JOHN, I DIDN'T KNOW THAT THERE WOULD BE -- MAYBE I DID, I 40:45 DON'T KNOW I NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT IT, AN ANOINTING ON ARRANGEMENTS 40:50 BUT THIS ARRANGEMENT JUST PUTS YOU IN THE ATMOSPHERE. 40:54 IT KIND OF REMINDS ME WHAT IT IS GOING TO BE LIKE WHEN WE GET TO 40:59 HEAVEN. SO MAYBE WHAT WE'LL DO THE 41:01 SECOND HOUR, WE'LL PLAY THAT ONE. 41:03 BUT RIGHT NOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO -- REMEMBER, SOME OF YOU 41:07 ARE CALLING IN ALREADY. SO THE FIRST HOUR WE'RE MOSTLY 41:10 TALKING, UPDATE YOU, AND WHAT HAVE YOU. 41:14 RONNY USED TO TELL ME QUIT RUNNING OFF AT THE MOUTH WHEN I 41:19 WAS A KID, AND HE PROBABLY WANTS TO DO THAT NOW. 41:25 BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO, CALL IN AT 618-627-4651 OR 3ABN.TV. 41:31 AND CALL IN WITH YOUR QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS. 41:35 WHAT YOU LIKE AND WHAT YOU DON'T LIKE. 41:37 AND THINGS THAT YOU REALLY WANT ANSWERS TO, OR MAYBE YOU HAVE 41:42 FRIENDS WHO YOU ARE STUDYING WITH, AND YOU MAY THEY HAVE SOME 41:47 QUESTIONS AND I DON'T KNOW HOW TO ANSWER THESE. 41:51 BUT MEANWHILE, REGGIE AND LADY LOVE, THEY ARE GOING TO DO A 41:56 SONG THAT YVONNE AND I WROTE WITH THE LORD'S BLESSING. 42:00 BUT THIS SONG IS CALLED "HALLELUJAH WE'RE HOME AT LAST." 42:09 ♪ 42:16 ♪ HALLELUJAH TO THE LAM ♪ ♪ HALLELUJAH TO THE GREAT I AM ♪ 42:24 ♪ HALLELUJAH ♪ ♪ HALLELUJAH, WE'RE HOME AT 42:30 LAST ♪ ♪ THERE'S EXCITEMENT IN HEAVEN 42:33 LIKE THERE'S NEVER BEEN BEFORE ♪ ♪ JESUS SAYS THAT HEAVEN IS 42:44 CHANGED FOREVER MORE AND MORE ♪ ♪ THE ANGELS SURROUND THE 42:53 SAVIOR ♪ ♪ HE RETURNS TO EARTH ♪ 43:03 ♪ TO FULFILL THE ANGELS' PLAN ♪ ♪ HALLELUJAH TO THE LAMB ♪ 43:11 ♪ HALLELUJAH TO THE GREAT I AM ♪ ♪ HALLELUJAH WE'RE HOME AT 43:22 LAST ♪ 43:31 ♪ AT THE SOUND OF THE LAST TRUMPET CHRIST WILL RISE ♪ 43:39 ♪ HE IS GOING HOME AT LAST ♪ ♪ NO MORE EMPTY MANSIONS, NO 43:50 VACANT SEATS AROUND THE THROWN ♪ ♪ HEAVEN IS FINELY HEAVEN WHEN 43:59 GOD'S CHILDREN ARE HOME ♪ ♪ HALLELUJAH TO THE LAMB ♪ 44:08 ♪ HALLELUJAH TO THE GREAT I AM ♪ ♪ HALLELUJAH WE'RE HOME AT 44:19 LAST ♪ ♪ HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, 44:31 HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH, HALLELUJAH TO THE LAMB ♪ 44:41 ♪ HALLELUJAH TO THE LAMB, HALLELUJAH TO THE GREAT I AM ♪ 44:48 ♪ HALLELUJAH ♪ ♪ HALLELUJAH, WE'RE HOME AT 44:54 LAST ♪ ♪ HALLELUJAH, WE'RE HOME ♪ 44:57 ♪ WE'RE HOME ♪ ♪ AT LAST ♪ 45:04 ♪ HALLELUJAH ♪ ♪ WE'RE HOME, WE'RE HOME AT 45:10 LAST ♪ ♪ HOME AT LAST ♪ 45:19 >> AMEN. PRAISE THE LORD. 45:23 HALLELUJAH, WE'RE HOME AT LAST. AND I SHOULD SAY, SHELLEY 45:27 REMINDED ME DURING THE SONG THAT REGGIE AND LADY LOVE ARE GOING 45:31 TO BE HERE AT OUR CAMP MEETING I THINK AT LEAST WEDNESDAY, 45:35 THURSDAY, FRIDAY, AND MAYBE SABBATH MORNING, I'M NOT SURE. 45:40 REGGIE NOW IS WITH A VOCAL BAND. HE TOOK, I THINK DAVID PHELPS'S 45:48 PLACE WHO IS ALSO A PHENOMENAL SINGER. 45:55 LAST SUNDAY WE MET HIM IN NASH 46:00 NASHVILLE AND ATE LUNCH WITH HIM. 46:03 AND HE SAID WE HAVE TIME FOR 3ABN. 46:06 AND LADY LOVE SAID WE'RE GOING TO BE AT 3ABN. 46:09 SO THEY ARE COMING UP HERE IN THE NEXT WEEK OR TWO BEFORE CAMP 46:13 MEETING AND GOING TO DO SOME MUSIC. 46:15 SO WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO THAT. 46:18 BUT INCREDIBLE SINGERS, A AND -- MUSICIANS, AND 46:26 CHRISTIANS. JUST WONDERFUL PEOPLE. 46:29 OKAY. SHELLEY ANYTHING ELSE BEFORE THE 46:32 QUESTIONS -- >> I THINK THAT'S IT. 46:33 >> WE WERE TALKING ABOUT SOME OF THE NEW EXPRESSIONS. 46:38 SOMEONE MENTIONED WHAT IS PAN SEXUAL. 46:41 I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT IT DOESN'T SOUND NICE. 46:44 >> I ACTUALLY LOOKED IT IP, AND SHELLEY COULD ALSO -- SINCE SHE 46:48 BROUGHT IT UP COULD -- BUT THE DEFINITION IS SOMEONE WHO IS 46:55 ROMANTICALLY OR EMOTIONALLY ATTRACTED TOWARDS PEOPLE 46:59 REGARDLESS OF THEIR SEXUAL AGENDA OR IDENTITY. 47:03 THEY MAY REFER TO THEMSELVES AS GENDER BLIND. 47:10 THEY ALSO USE ANOTHER WORD, OMNI SEXUAL. 47:16 I WAS COMMENTING THAT WE NEED TO CHOOSE OMNIPOTENCE AND OMNI 47:24 PRESENCE. THE OMNI CHARACTERS OF GOD. 47:26 IT IS AMAZING HOW THE WORLD IS COMING UP, IT'S NOW LGBTQITO. 47:35 >> THAT'S TO MUCH. >> IT ADDS MORE DISTORTIONS OF 47:40 THE WHOLE IDEA OF -- >> IS THE P FOR PEDOPHILE? 47:45 >> PAN SEXUALITY. >> OKAY. 47:48 BUT PEDOPHILES ARE TRYING TO GET ON THAT SAME -- 47:51 >> BANDWAGON. >> -- BANDWAGON. 47:58 >> AND THERE WAS AN ORGANIZATION, THE NORTH AMERICAN 48:03 MAN/BOY LOVE ASSOCIATION. AND THAT'S OLD. 48:06 SO AMERICA HAS BEEN SPEAKING LIKE A DRAGON A LONG TIME. 48:10 IF WE REALLY WANT MORALITY WHY ARE THE CHURCHES NOT STANDING UP 48:16 AGAINST THIS DISTORTION OF GOD. >> AND GOD LOVES EVERYBODY. 48:23 SO WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THESE SUBJECTS, PLEASE DON'T 48:27 SAY, OH, WELL, THEY HATE HOMOSEXUALS OR WHATEVER. 48:32 WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, SIN, FILTERING INTO THE CHURCH IN THE 48:37 NAME OF, WHAT? IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE'S -- 48:40 >> TOLERANCE. >> LET'S SAY THE NORM. 48:43 THE NORM, AND IF YOU DON'T ALLOW THIS, THEN YOU ARE WHAT THEY 48:47 CALL A HATER. I MEAN, I HAVE SEEN IT IN 48:52 CHURCHES ALL AOUND AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD, WHERE PEOPLE 48:56 SAY, I WAS BORN THAT WAY, I CAN'T HELP IT, SO I SHOULD BE 49:00 ABLE TO BE A PREACHER OR A TEACHER OR, YOU KNOW, WHATEVER. 49:05 SUNDAY SCHOOL, SABBATH SCHOOL TEACHER, AND FEEL LIKE THAT THEY 49:09 COULD DO THAT, AND IF ANYONE SAYS NO, WELL, THEN YOU DON'T 49:14 REALLY LOVE PEOPLE. >> YOU KNOW, IN MY OPINION THEY 49:18 CAN DO IT IF THEY ARE NOT PRACTICING. 49:20 IF YOU THINK YOU HAVE BEEN BORN THAT, BUT YOU SAY -- IT'S JUST 49:25 LIKE IF I WERE A SINGLE PERSON WHO WANTED TO BE A SABBATH 49:29 SCHOOL TEACHER, BUT IF I WAS HAVING AFFAIRS OUTSIDE OF 49:33 MARRIAGE, YOU WOULDN'T LET ME BE. 49:37 SO IT'S NOT WHO WE ARE, BUT WHAT WE DO, THE SIN. 49:40 AND WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THIS -- TO ME -- I DON'T KNOW, 49:45 THIS REALLY SPOKE TO ME. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE LAW OF 49:49 LIFE, WHEN GOD CREATED MAN AND WOMAN -- OR HE CREATED US, THE 49:54 LAW OF LIFE DEMANDS REPRODUCTION. 49:59 IF -- IF IT WERE NOT THT HE HAD-COUPLED MALE AND FEMALE TOGETHER AS HUMANS OR ANY ANIMALS, NONE 50:09 OF US WOULD BE HERE. >> ABSOLUTELY. 50:11 >> SO THE LAW OF LIFE IS SOMETHING THAT GOD HAS 50:13 PUT -- AND INSTILLED IN US THAT ABILITY TO REPRODUCE, AND 50:18 THAT'S -- THAT'S THE NORM. THAT IS WHAT IS -- HOW GOD 50:22 CREATED US. >> THEY ARE TRYING TO DRAW A 50:24 LINE IN THE SAND -- THERE HAS ALWAYS BEEN A LINE IN THE AN 50:29 BETWEEN GENDERS, AND NOW THEY ARE TRYING TO ERASE THAT. 50:33 IF YOU CAN ERASE THE GENDERS, YOU CAN ERASE THE EXISTENCE OF 50:39 GOD, AND I GO THROUGH TO EXPLAIN THIS, BECAUSE GOD CREATED MALE 50:43 AND FEMALE, AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ANY OF THAT, YOU DON'T 50:47 BELIEVE THE WHOLE GENESIS ACCOUNT. 50:49 AND HE SANCTIFIED OF COURSE THE SABBATH AND SANCTIFIED THE 50:54 MARRIAGE BETWEEN ONE MAN AND ONE WOMAN AT CREATION. 50:57 SO THIS IS SOMETHING -- AND WE MAY BE TALKING ABOUT IT MORE 51:01 INSTEAD OF LESS, NOT BECAUSE IT'S ANY WORSE SIN AS YOU SAID 51:06 THAN IF YOU ARE AN ADULTER, OR ALCOHOLIC OR DRUG ADDICT OR 51:13 WHATEVER. BUT BECAUSE IT'S CREEPING IN THE 51:15 CHURCH, AND PEOPLE ARE SO EMOTIONAL ABOUT IT, THAT IF MY 51:19 SON OR DAUGHTER OR A GOOD PERSON -- I JUST SAW LAST WEEK, 51:23 SOMEONE SHOWED ME A VIDEO OF SOMEONE WHO IS A PREACHER IN THE 51:26 CHURCH WHO SAID I HAVE TO COME OUT AND TELL YOU THE TRUTH 51:30 BECAUSE I WANT TO KEEP MY INTEGRITY THAT I AM BISEXUAL, 51:36 SO, YOU KNOW, I LOVE THE CHURCH. I LOVE THE PEOPLE, BUT GOD MADE 51:39 ME THIS WAY. THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, 51:42 AND I HAVE STUDIED IT ALL OUT, I'M A THEOLOGIAN, AND IT IS JUST 51:51 MISUNDERSTOOD BY THE CHURCH. SO I SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE PASTOR 51:55 AND MARRY A MAN OR A WOMAN -- THIS PARTICULAR CASE 51:59 WAS A WOMAN -- SHE SAID I SHOULD BE ABLE TO MARRY A MAN OR A 52:04 WOMAN, AND IT IS OKAY, BECAUSE GOD OKAYS IT. 52:09 I NEVER THOUGHT I WOULD SEE IT COMING INTO THE CHRISTIAN 52:12 CHURCHES, BUT IT IS. JOHN, HOW IS THIS .HAPPENING? 52:18 IT SEEMS LIKE IT IS CUT AND DRY FOR MOST OF US, IT'S LIKE THAT 52:24 CAN NEVER HAPPEN BECAUSE THE SCRIPTURES ARE SO STRAIGHT OUT 52:28 ABOUT IT. >> IN MATTHEW AND LUKE, THE LORD 52:32 LAID OUT SIGNS OF THE END. AND WHAT HAPPENED IN THE DAYS OF 52:38 LOT? YOU FIND THAT SODAM AND GOMORRAH 52:48 WAS DESTROYED. AND IN THAT DAY AND AGE, THE MEN 52:52 OF THE CITY OF SODAM DIDN'T WANT HIS DAUGHTERS. 52:55 THEY WANTED LOT -- >> UH-HUH. 52:58 >> -- AND HE SAYS SO ALSO WILL IT BE IN THE DAYS JUST BEFORE 53:04 THE SON OF MAN COMES. WE USED TO SAY WARS AND RUMORS 53:07 OF WARS. WE WOULD SAY, HOW LONG HAVE WE 53:10 HAD WARS? WE HAVE HAD WARS FOR CENTURIES. 53:13 BUT NOW HOW LONG HAS THIS BEEN AN ISSUE IN SOCIETY AND THE 53:17 CHURCH? JUST OVER THE LAST 15, 20 YEARS. 53:20 BECAUSE BILLY GRAHAM MENTIONED THIS A LONG TIME AGO. 53:24 HE SAID IF -- WHAT -- THE SIN OF THE WORLD -- 53:29 >> RIGHT. >> IF HE DOESN'T COME SOON, HE 53:33 WILL HAVE TO APOLOGIZE TO SODAM AND GOMORRAH. 53:42 >> AND I JUST WANT TO SAY IF YOU ARE IN ANY OF THESE CAMPS THAT 53:47 WE'RE TALKING ABOUT, JUST KNOW THAT GOD LOVES YOU SO MUCH. 53:50 AND AS DANNY SAID, WE DON'T LOOK AT YOU AS ANY MORE OF A SINNER 53:55 THAN WE ARE. BUT IT IS AGAINST THE WORD OF 53:59 GOD, AND AGAINST THE LAW OF LIFE AND NATURE. 54:01 AND YOU SAD HOW DID WE GET HERE? 54:03 THERE WAS -- ACCORDING TO WHAT I READ IN MANY PUBLICATIONS LIKE 54:11 THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION AND THE AMA, THAT IT 54:15 WAS ONLY, LIKE, THREE, TO THREE AND A HALF PERCENT OF THE WHOLE 54:22 POPULATION THAT WERE GAY OR LESBIAN, OR LBGT, WHATEVER YOU 54:27 WANT TO SAY. SO -- WHAT HAPPENED, THOUGH, WAS 54:30 THAT GROUP HAD SUCH A STRONG VOICE AND LOBBYING GROUP, THAT 54:36 AS YOU SAID, WE WATCHED THE PRESIDENT, OBAMA, GO FROM JUST 54:41 STANDING FIRM IN ONE POSITION -- >> AND HILARY. 54:43 >> AND HILARY, TO WHERE IT TURNED. 54:47 IT WAS PUSHED FORWARD, AND PEOPLE -- EVEN WHEN IT WAS 54:52 LEGALIZED AS FAR AS SAME-SEX MARRIAGE, PEOPLE WHEN THEY WOULD 54:55 DO POLLS, THE MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WERE AGAINST THAT, BUT THERE IS 55:00 THIS THING OF -- WE'RE -- WE ARE CONSTANTLY BEING PREACHED AT TO 55:05 BE TOLERANT. >> RIGHT. 55:06 >> AND IT'S ONE THING TO BE TOLERANT OF PEOPLE, BUT TO BE 55:11 TOLERANT OF SIN IS SOMETHING WE HAVE GOT TO STOP AND ASK 55:14 OURSELVES, BECAUSE NOW THE NATIONAL POLLS, WHERE IT WAS, 55:17 YOU KNOW, 60% OF PEOPLE THOUGHT IT WAS WRONG, OR 65, THEN IT 55:23 CAME DOWN TO 55. NOW IT'S UNDER 50% WHO BELIEVE 55:27 IT'S WRONG, BECAUSE THEY HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOM TO IT. 55:31 AND MY CONCERN IS THIS, IF YOU START TEACHING CHILDREN THIS AT 55:35 A VERY EARLY AGE, CHILDREN ARE NATURALLY CURIOUS AND THEY KNOW 55:40 NOTHING ABOUT SEXUALITY, THEY ARE CURIOUS, IF THEY ARE BEING 55:46 TAUGHT THAT IT'S OKAY, THEY ARE GOING TO EXPERIMENT. 55:50 >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. >> AND THAT'S WHAT IS UPSETTING 55:53 TO ME. >> ABSOLUTELY. 55:55 RONNY DID YOU THNK 20 YEARS AGO YOU WOULD THINK YO WOULD HAVE 55:59 ANY OF THESE CONVERSATIONS. >> NEVER. 56:03 AS WE READ ABOUT SODAM AND GOMORRAH, WE THOUGHT THAT WILL 56:08 NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN. >> NOT ON THAT SCALE. 56:10 >> YES, NOT ON THAT SCALE, AND THEN WE THINK ABOUT PEOPLE WHO 56:14 SAY, WELL, I WAS BORN THAT WAY, THEREFORE, IT MUST BE OKAY. 56:19 AND I LOOK AT MY OWN LIFE AS A STRAIGHT MAN. 56:22 I SAY, BUT THERE ARE TEMPTATIONS OUT THERE, BUT GOD HAS TO WORK 56:26 IN MY LIFE, AND I HAE TO TURN MY LIFE OVER TO HIM TO SAY I 56:29 KNOW THIS WOULD NOT BE RIGHT. SO A STRAIGHT PERSON, MALE OR 56:34 FEMALE HAS THE OBLIGATION TO WALK STRAIGHT WITH THE LORD AND 56:37 FOLLOW THE COUNSEL OF THE WORE JUST AS A HOMOSEXUAL PERSON OR 56:44 LESBIAN HAS THAT OBLIGATION TOO. YES, WE WERE BORN THAT WAY, BUT 56:48 GOD SAYS, BUT THIS IS THE RIGHT PATH, WALK IN IT. 56:52 SO WHATEVER THE SEXUAL INCLINATION IS, GOD HAS RULES 56:56 ABOUT IT. WHETHER YOU ARE STRAIGHT, OR 56:59 WHETHER YOU AREN'T, GOD STILL SAYS THIS IS THE PLACE, YOU 57:02 KNOW, THAT I WANT YOU TO BE IN. >> AND REGARDLESS OF THE SIN, 57:06 REGARDLESS OF THE CATEGORY, THAT'S WHY JESUS SAID YOU MUST 57:10 BE BORN AGAIN REGARDLESS OF THE SIN. 57:13 >> UH-HUH. >> AND THAT'S WHY WE WANT TO 57:15 SAY, THAT WE WELCOME, AND WE SHOULD -- ALL CHURCHES SHOULD 57:23 WELCOME PEOPLE WITH ALL KINDS OF PROBLEMS. 57:25 THE CHURCH IS A HOSPITAL FOR SINNERS. 57:26 THAT INCLUDES ME AND YOU. BUT IT DOESN'T MEAN WE PUT THEM 57:31 IN LEADERSHIP. I READ AN ARTICLE OF SOMEONE WHO 57:35 WAS -- WHO WAS ACTUALLY -- JOHN -- I GUESS -- I 57:39 THINK WE'RE RUNNING OUT OF TIME. I DIDN'T KNOW THE CLOCK CHANGED 57:43 ON ME. I'LL FINISH THIS IN JUST A 57:45 MOMENT. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK. 57:46 ♪ |
