MANY YEARS, AND THE LORD IS NOW
MOVING INTO A DIFFERENT ASPECT
00:06:13.80\00:06:19.07
OF MINISTRY. WE WERE

00:06:19.07\00:06:21.78
BUT YOU ARE UP AND RUNNING NOW.
>> YEAH, WE HAVE WHAT WE CALL
00:06:21.78\00:06:26.31
THE LIVING HOPE

PROPHETIC
PROXIMATION OF GOD'S WORD.

WE'RE HAVING AMAZING
EXPERIENCES WITH PASTORS.

00:07:11.16\00:07:15.10
WE'RE BEGINNING TO HAVE PASTORS
COME FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD.
00:07:15.10\00:07:18.03
JUST TWO WEEKS AGO, WE HAD
PASTORS COME FROM BRAZIL TO BE
00:07:18.03\00:07:22.20
WITH US. >> WOW.
00:07:22.20\00:07:23.41

LEADERS TO TRAIN LAY
BIBLE WORKERS, FOR EXAMPLE.
00:07:33.42\00:07:36.72
WE HAD 70 TO 90 OF
THEM JUST A WEEK OR SO AGO.
00:07:36.72\00:07:42.06
CLASSES FOR EXAMPLE THAT TEENY
WILL TEACH FOR HEALTH MINISTRY
00:07:42.06\00:07:45.46
DIRECTORS AND WE -- SO WE HAVE A
LOT OF CLASSES COMING OUT OF OUR
00:07:45.46\00:07:50.07
CENTER. OUR
CENTER IS IN HAY MARKET,
00:07:50.07\00:07:55.37
VIRGINIA. AND THE
WHOLE THING IS JUST A
00:07:55.37\00:07:58.04
MIRACLE CENTER, AND
IT'S UP AND FUNCTIONING.
00:07:58.04\00:08:01.18
OUT OF THAT WE HAVE PUBLIC
PROGRAMS FOR THE PUBLIC AS WELL.
00:08:01.18\00:08:04.98
WE HAVE MANY OF THOSE
PROGRAMS SINCE LAST YEAR, TEENY.
00:08:04.98\00:08:08.75
>> OH, YEAH. WE HAD
16 HEALTH PROGRAMS FOR
00:08:08.75\00:08:13.52
THE COMMUNITY, FROM COOKING
WELL, TO STRESS MANAGEMENT, AND
00:08:13.52\00:08:17.56
EVEN A NEW ONE WE JUST DI
CALLED BETHLEHEM AND BEYOND
00:08:17.56\00:08:22.40
WHERE WE COMBINE GOING THROUGH
THE LIFE OF JESUS AND OUR
00:08:22.40\00:08:27.77
ARCHEOLOGY PROGRAM, AND THEN
WE SHARED FOODS ON THE BIBLE AND
00:08:27.77\00:08:31.97
WHAT THEY WOULD HAVE HAD IN
JESUS TIME, AND SO WE HAD -- AND
00:08:31.97\00:08:36.85
WE HAD 20 PRGRAMS ON BIBLICAL
PROGRAMS FOR THE COMMUNITY, AND
00:08:36.85\00:08:41.55
WE NOW HAVE AT LEAST 20-SOME
PEOPLE IN OUR BIBLE STUDIES AS A
00:08:41.55\00:08:46.49
RESULT -- AS A RESULT
OF IT. >> PRAISE THE LORD.
00:08:46.49\00:08:49.52
>> YEAH, WE HAVE AN 18,000
SQUARE FOOT FACILITY, AND IN
00:08:49.52\00:08:55.43
THAT FACILITY,
REALLY FOUR THINGS HAPPEN.
00:08:55.43\00:08:57.80
FIRST WE HAVE WHAT WE WOULD
CALL OUR COMMUNITY CENTER OR
00:08:57.80\00:09:02.34
FELLOWSHIP HALL, BEAUTIFUL
APPOINTED KITCHEN THERE.
00:09:02.34\00:09:05.34
WE CAN RUN ALL KIND OF HEALTH
PROGRAMS OUT OF IT, WE HAVE RUN
00:09:05.34\00:09:11.78
A HEALTH EXPO OUT OF IT,
THAT'S IN OUR HEALTH CENTER.
00:09:11.78\00:09:15.88
THEN IN ADDITION TO THAT, WE
HAVE OUR CLASSROOM SPACE, AND A
00:09:15.88\00:09:19.55
LITTLE BOOK CENTER WHERE OUR
STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO PURCHASE
00:09:19.55\00:09:23.89
BOOKS AND EVANGELISTIC
MATERIALS, BUT WE HAVE A
00:09:23.89\00:09:26.86
BEAUTIFUL CLASSROOM, SO THAT'S
THE SECOND ASPECT IS OUR SCHOOL
00:09:26.86\00:09:30.07
OF EVANGELISM. THEN
WE HAVE A SMALL MEDIA
00:09:30.07\00:09:33.87
CENTER AND TRAINED A MEDIA TEAM,
AND WE ARE DOING SOME AMAZING
00:09:33.87\00:09:38.41
THINGS WITH OUR TEAM IN SOCIAL
MEDIA, THAT I'M REALLY EXCITED
00:09:38.41\00:09:42.24
ABOUT. >> WE ACTUALLY HAVE BEEN
00:09:42.24\00:09:44.01
REACHING 161 COUNTRIES
FROM OUR LITTLE MEDIA CENTER.
00:09:44.01\00:09:48.35
>> OH, WOW. >> WE
HAVE A MAP ON THE WALL AND
00:09:48.35\00:09:52.79
WE HAVE LITTLE RED PINS THAT GO
IN WHERE WE HAVE GOTTEN PEOPLE
00:09:52.79\00:09:56.93
FROM THOSE COUNTRIES
LISTENING. >> AMAZING.
00:09:56.93\00:10:00.20
>> DANNY, YOU'LL RECALL, WE
WERE THERE BEFORE IT GOT UP AND
00:10:00.20\00:10:08.70
RUNNING, AND IT WAS IMPRESSIVE
EVEN AT THAT STAGE, WE'LL HAVE
00:10:08.70\00:10:13.01
TO COME BACK. >>
YEAH, YOU WOULD BE WELCOME.
00:10:13.01\00:10:16.04
WE WOULD LOVE TO
HAVE YOU COME BACK.
00:10:16.04\00:10:18.71
>> WE WOULD LOVE IT. >>
AND THEN, OF COURSE, WE HAVE
00:10:18.71\00:10:23.39
OUR CHURCH. IT'S
A GROWING CHURCH.
00:10:23.39\00:10:26.35
IT HAS ANYWHERE FROM 140
TO 150 PEOPLE ON A SABBATH.
00:10:26.35\00:10:30.73
AND I'M THERE ABOUT
35 TO 40% OF MY TIME.
00:10:30.73\00:10:33.96
AND THERE ARE TIMES -- THE
LAST TIME I MREECH -- PREACHED I
00:10:33.96\00:10:41.80
THINK WE HAD 450 PEOPLE THERE.
THOSE THINGS HAPPEN THERE,
00:10:41.80\00:10:49.74
INTEGRATED TOGETHER, AND WE
ARE SEEING GOD DO SOME AMAZING
00:10:49.74\00:10:53.72
THINGS. THE
BUILDING IS A MIRACLE
00:10:53.72\00:10:55.52
BUILDING. IT'S A
BUILDING THAT COST -- BUT
00:10:55.52\00:10:57.79
WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
MEDIA CENTER AND FURNISHINGS AND
00:10:57.79\00:11:01.39
EVERYTHING, IT'S ABOUT
A $4 MILLION STRUCTURE.
00:11:01.39\00:11:04.63
>> IT'S ALL PAID
FOR. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:11:04.63\00:11:06.29
>> IT'S ALL PAID FOR.
>> IT HAS NO MORTGAGE.
00:11:06.29\00:11:09.70
>> PRAISE THE
LORD. PRAISE THE LORD.
00:11:09.70\00:11:11.77
>> AND I'LL TELL YOU AN
INTERESTING STORY -- THERE WAS A
00:11:11.77\00:11:14.80
TIME -- BECAUSE WHEN WE STARTED
THIS, TEENY WOULD GO DOWN TO THE
00:11:14.80\00:11:19.94
PROPERTY AND PRAY AND PRAY.
AND SHE CAME BACK TO ME AND SAID
00:11:19.94\00:11:23.31
MARK, WE NEED TO START THIS
SCHOOL OF EVANGELISM, WE NEED TO
00:11:23.31\00:11:27.18
LEAVE A LEGACY. WE
NEED TO PASS THIS ON.
00:11:27.18\00:11:30.59
WE'RE GETTING OLDER. AND
I JUST DISMISSED IT, SAYING
00:11:30.59\00:11:34.69
LOOK, WE TRAVEL AROUND THE
WORLD, BUT I HAVE A PERSISTENT
00:11:34.69\00:11:46.10
WIFE. WE HAD NO
FINANCES, BUT WE WENT
00:11:46.10\00:11:49.57
THROUGH A STRUGLE WHEN GOD GIVES
YOU A VISION HE DOESN'T -GIVE
YOU ALL OF THE ANSWERS.
00:11:49.57\00:11:54.98
>> THAT'S RIGHT. >> HE
MAY GIVE YOU A DREAM, BUT
00:11:54.98\00:11:58.61
HE DOESN'T GIVE YOU THE ANSWERS,
AND THERE WAS A TIME THAT I WAS
00:11:58.61\00:12:04.09
REALLY, REALLY STRUGGLING.
TEENY AND I HAPPENED TO BE IN
00:12:04.09\00:12:08.62
FLORIDA. I DIDN'T
KNOW WHERE THE FINANCES
00:12:08.62\00:12:10.09
WERE COMING FROM.
YOU STAKE YOUR LIFE ON A
00:12:10.09\00:12:14.93
BUILDING -- YOU STAKE GOD'S
REPUTATION ON IT, AND I WAS
00:12:14.93\00:12:18.47
PRAYING, AND I WAS ON MY KNEES
ONE DAY, AND I REMEMBER IT LIKE
00:12:18.47\00:12:23.07
IT WAS YESTERDAY. AND I
SAID, OKAY, GOD, WE DON'T
00:12:23.07\00:12:26.78
HAVE ANYMORE FINANCES.
GOD, WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN
00:12:26.78\00:12:29.51
HERE? AND I WAS
KIND OF FEELING A
00:12:29.51\00:12:31.35
LITTLE DISCOURAGED. I GOT
A CALL FROM JIM GILLEY WHO
00:12:31.35\00:12:35.25
WAS THE PRESIDENT
OF 3ABN AT THE TIME.
00:12:35.25\00:12:39.42
HE SAID THERE WAS A DONOR
WHO LEFT SOME MONEY, AND WHEN HE
00:12:39.42\00:12:44.53
LEFT THE MONEY TO 3ABN, HE
DESIGNATED A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
00:12:44.53\00:12:49.16
THAT MONEY TO GO TO THE
NEW LIVING HOPE SCHOOL OF
00:12:49.16\00:12:53.23
EVANGELISM. I SAID WHAT?
00:12:53.23\00:12:54.64
AND HE TOLD ME THE FIGURE,
AND IT WAS A SIZABLE FIGURE.
00:12:54.64\00:12:59.27
AND, YOU KNOW, WHAT,
THAT WAS THE RAILING I NEEDED.
00:12:59.27\00:13:03.11
THAT WAS THE
ENCOURAGEMENT. >> YES.
00:13:03.11\00:13:05.88
YES. YES.
00:13:05.88\00:13:06.92
>> THAT'S ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL.
THE SCHOOL OF EVANGELISM, I
00:13:06.92\00:13:11.02
WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THAT, BECAUSE THERE ARE
00:13:11.02\00:13:13.36
PLACES PEOPLE CAN GO, AND I WAS
JUST TALKING TO YVONNE YESTERDAY
00:13:13.36\00:13:18.33
AND HER SON JASON, WHO IS 31,
32 YEARS OLD, LAYMAN, LOVES THE
00:13:18.33\00:13:24.40
LORD, AND SEVERAL YEARS AGO
HE REDEDICATED HIS LIFE TO THE
00:13:24.40\00:13:30.44
WORLD. AND IS A
DARE TO DREAM ASSISTANT
00:13:30.44\00:13:33.74
TO THE MANAGER THERE.
BUT HE HAS SUCH A BURDEN FOR
00:13:33.74\00:13:38.78
SOULS, AND HE IS ONE WHO WOULD
NEVER THOUGHT HE WOULD HAVE
00:13:38.78\00:13:42.28
GOTTEN UP AND SPOKEN IN PUBLIC.
HE JUST NOT -- WOULDN'T CONSIDER
00:13:42.28\00:13:48.46
HIMSELF A PUBLIC SPEAKER, BUT
EVERY TIME WE ASK HIM OR CALL ON
00:13:48.46\00:13:53.06
HIM TO DO
SOMETHING, HE IS THERE.
00:13:53.06\00:13:55.16
AND HE WANTS TO DO SOMETING,
BUT HE CAN'T TAKE OFF A YEAR OR
00:13:55.16\00:13:59.33
TWO YEARS AND GO, AND I WAS JUST
TALKING TO HER YESTERDAY, AND
00:13:59.33\00:14:04.61
SHE SAID JASON WANTS TRAINING,
BUT HE CAN'T TAKE OFF FOUR
00:14:04.61\00:14:09.11
MONTHS OR SIX MONTHS OR A
YEAR, AS LAYMAN, HOW -- HOW TO
00:14:09.11\00:14:12.81
SPEAK -- HOW DO
I KNOW WHAT TO DO?
00:14:12.81\00:14:15.12
I WANT TO DO IT, BUT I'M SCARED
TO GET UP, AND, YOU KNOW, I
00:14:15.12\00:14:18.65
REALLY DON'T KNOW. I
NEED SOME TRAINING, BUT
00:14:18.65\00:14:21.39
SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T
HAVE TO LITERALLY QUIT YOUR JOB.
00:14:21.39\00:14:25.89
SOMETHING ONLINE, SOMETHING I
CAN GO FOR A WEEK OR TWO WEEKS.
00:14:25.89\00:14:29.00
>> YEAH, THAT'S THE WONDERFUL
THING ABOUT OUR CENTER BECAUSE
00:14:29.00\00:14:32.77
IT'S SHORT-TERM TRAINING.
AND WE HAVE A SEMINAR COMING UP,
00:14:32.77\00:14:37.51
IN FACT NOVEMBER 17TH TO 19, WE
HAVE A SEMINAR ON PREACHING, SO
00:14:37.51\00:14:42.24
MARK WILL BE DOING THIS SEMINAR
ON TRAINING ELDERS AND OTHERS
00:14:42.24\00:14:46.95
WHO WANT TO LEARN HOW TO PREACH,
AND THEY CAN COME, THEY ARE
00:14:46.95\00:14:50.79
STILL SIGN UP FOR THAT SEMINAR,
AND THEN WE'LL HAVE ONE SESSION
00:14:50.79\00:14:55.59
THAT WE'LL DO ON
EVANGELISTIC PREACHING AS WELL.
00:14:55.59\00:14:59.16
AND SO -- >> WOW.
00:14:59.16\00:15:01.06
OKAY. >> WE CAN
HAVE -- WE WOULD BE
00:15:01.06\00:15:03.26
DELIGHTED TO HAVE HIM
COME. >> WE'LL INVITE HIM.
00:15:03.26\00:15:05.77
YOU GET HIM THERE, AND WE'LL
FEED HIM AND TAKE CARE OF HIM.
00:15:05.77\00:15:09.20
>> WE'LL DO IT. >>
WE START FRIDAY NIGHT
00:15:09.20\00:15:13.01
NOVEMBER 17TH, IT'S VERY, VERY
SHORT, AND THEN FOLLOW THROUGH
00:15:13.01\00:15:16.24
WITH BOOKS AND OTHER
THINGS AND WORKSHEETS FOR THEM.
00:15:16.24\00:15:19.45
THE FIRST SESSION, I'LL
TALK ABOUT WHAT IS A SERMON?
00:15:19.45\00:15:23.05
HOW DO YOU WRITE A SERMON
WHAT ARE THE INGREDIENTS IN GOOD
00:15:23.05\00:15:27.92
PREACHING? WE'LL
TALK ABOUT THAT IN THE
00:15:27.92\00:15:29.72
FIRST SESSION. THE
SECOND SESSION, I'LL TALK
00:15:29.72\00:15:32.06
ABOUT LETTING THE TEXT TALK.
A LOT OF PEOPLE WILL COME AND
00:15:32.06\00:15:35.13
THEY WILL SAY I WANT TO
PREACH -- I THINK I KNOW WHAT
00:15:35.13\00:15:37.70
THE TOPIC IS. I'M
GOING TO PREACH ON FAITH OR
00:15:37.70\00:15:41.04
HOPE, AND THEY TRY TO LOOK
THROUGH THE BIBLE AND GET THE
00:15:41.04\00:15:46.24
TETH, RATHER THAN THAT, WE'RE
GOING TO SAY LET'S START NOT
00:15:46.24\00:15:50.15
WITH WHAT I WANT TO SAY,
BUT WHAT DOES GOD WANT TO SAY?
00:15:50.15\00:15:53.65
AND WE'LL SHOW OUR CLASS HOW
TO TAKE A TEXT AND LOOK AT THAT
00:15:53.65\00:15:57.69
TEXT, ANALYZE THAT TEXT, THERE'S
SOMETHING I CALL SEEING WITH A
00:15:57.69\00:16:01.32
PENCIL. WHEN I
PREPARE A NEW SERMON IT
00:16:01.32\00:16:04.89
TAKES ME ABOUT 12 TO 14
HOURS TO PREPARE THAT SERMON.
00:16:04.89\00:16:09.13
AND THE WAY I START IS
TYPICALLY WITH THE TEXT.
00:16:09.13\00:16:15.80
WITH THE BIBLICAL PASSAGE.
AND SATURATE MY MINE WITH THE
00:16:15.80\00:16:27.98
TEXT. FOR ME IF
I'M STUDYING ON THE
00:16:27.98\00:16:31.32
LIFE OF CHRIST, I READ THE
BOOK OF AGES, IF I'M STUDYING ON
00:16:31.32\00:16:36.86
SALVATION, I'LL READ WHAT ELLEN
WHITE SAYS, I LOOK AT THE TEXT,
00:16:36.86\00:16:41.46
THE BACKGROUND OF THE TEXT, THE
CONTEXT OF THE TEXT, WHAT DID IT
00:16:41.46\00:16:45.87
MEAN TO THE PEOPLE THAT
IT WAS FIRST ADDRESSED TO?
00:16:45.87\00:16:49.70
WHAT LESSONS DO WE
HAVE FROM THAT TEXT TODAY?
00:16:49.70\00:16:53.78
AND IN OUR THIRD SESSION WE
CALL IT WINDOWS TO THE SOUL.
00:16:53.78\00:16:57.98
HOW DO YOU SILL
STRAIGHT A SERMON.
00:16:57.98\00:17:01.35
YOU NEVER BUILD A
SERMON AROUND A STORY.
00:17:01.35\00:17:03.85
THE STORY
ILLUSTRATES THE SORE SERMON.
00:17:03.85\00:17:07.26
THEN WE TALK ABOUT
HOW TO MAKE APPEALS.
00:17:07.26\00:17:10.49
REALLY SOME PEOPLE THINK APPEAL
COMES AT THE END OF THE SERMON.
00:17:10.49\00:17:15.50
ACTUALLY THE
SERMON IS AN APP POLE.
00:17:15.50\00:17:18.23
SO WE TALK ABOUT THAT. AND
THEN A LOT OF LAY PEOPLE ARE
00:17:18.23\00:17:23.77
QUITE AFRAID OF HOLDING A
PUBLIC EVANGELISTIC MEETING.
00:17:23.77\00:17:29.14
AND TEENY HAD HELD A NUMBER
OF PUBLIC EVANGELISTIC MEETING.
00:17:29.14\00:17:36.95
>> NOT A NUMBER,
BUT A FEW. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:17:36.95\00:17:40.19
>> TELL ABOUT THE
UNIVERSITY OF MAINE.
00:17:40.19\00:17:42.59
>> I GREW UP IN
MAINE, THIS PORTLAND, MAINE.
00:17:42.59\00:17:45.99
I WAS BORN AND RAISED THERE, AND
THEN I WANTED TO GO BACK AND DO
00:17:45.99\00:17:49.63
SOMETHING FOR THAT CHURCH,
BECAUSE THEY HAD MINISTERED TO
00:17:49.63\00:17:52.73
ME AS A 14, 15-YEAR-OLD CHILD,
BECAUSE I BECAME AN ADVENTIST AT
00:17:52.73\00:17:58.24
ABOUT THAT TIME, SO I WENT BACK
TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MAINE, AND
00:17:58.24\00:18:02.58
HELD AN EVANGELISTIC MEETING,
AND USED MARK'S SERMONS, AND
00:18:02.58\00:18:06.98
PREACHED THEM, AND
WE HAD -- THERE WERE
00:18:06.98\00:18:12.85
APPROXIMATELY -- MAYBE 100
AND SOME ATTENDING THE CHURCH AT
00:18:12.85\00:18:16.59
THAT TIME, AND
WE BAPTIZED SEVERAL.
00:18:16.59\00:18:19.46
THERE WERE 30-SOME
PEOPLE THAT WERE BAPTIZED.
00:18:19.46\00:18:23.30
SO IT WASN'T A BIG
MARK FINLEY CAMPAIGN.
00:18:23.30\00:18:25.57
BUT IT WAS A TEENY FINLEY
HUMBLE LAYPERSON PREACHING THESE
00:18:25.57\00:18:31.04
MESSAGES, SO WE LEAVE THAT OTHER
LAY MEMBERS CAN PREACH AS WELL.
00:18:31.04\00:18:35.04
SO I WILL HAVE A SIMPLE HUMBLE
SESSION ON LAY PREACHING, ON
00:18:35.04\00:18:41.28
SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN
DO IN EVANGELISTIC MEETINGS.
00:18:41.28\00:18:45.39
>> YEAH, BUT ISN'T THAT VERY
BIBLICAL, THAT JESUS SAID GO YE
00:18:45.39\00:18:57.27
INTO ALL OF THE WORLD. IT
SAYS EVERY HAND SHOULD GO.
00:18:57.27\00:19:05.54
SO ALL OF US, SO REALLY WHAT
YOU ARE DOING IS WHAT GOD CALLED
00:19:05.54\00:19:09.24
EACH OF US, SO RATHER THAN
TO DEPEND ON JUST HIM, WE NEED A
00:19:09.24\00:19:15.82
WHOLE LOT OF TEENIES TO
GO OUT WITH SMALLER MEETINGS.
00:19:15.82\00:19:20.79
WHICH COUSIN'S
HUSBAND THEY WENT FOR YEARS.
00:19:20.79\00:19:30.20
WHEN WE FIRST BUILT IN RUSSIA,
AND GENE WOULD GO BACK EVERY
00:19:30.20\00:19:34.24
YEAR, AND GO TO SMALL CHURCHES
AND GET 20 BAPTISMS, GET 15.
00:19:34.24\00:19:38.71
THE NEXT YEAR HE WORKED IN THE
SUMMERS, SO IN THE WINTERS -- WE
00:19:38.71\00:19:43.65
WOULD GO IN THE WORST TIME
BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN HE COULD
00:19:43.65\00:19:47.25
TAKE OFF WORK, AND LITERALLY
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE WERE
00:19:47.25\00:19:51.79
BAPTIZED, BUT IT WASN'T A JOHN
CARTER-TYPE MEETING, BUT SEVERAL
00:19:51.79\00:19:58.79
CHURCHES WERE BUILD, BECAUSE
A LAYMAN SAID I'M GOING TO TAKE
00:19:58.79\00:20:02.73
THIS SERIOUSLY. AND
EVERY YEAR SOULS GAME TO THE
00:20:02.73\00:20:06.20
LORD. SO IF ALL
OF US DID THAT, HOW
00:20:06.20\00:20:10.51
QUICKLY WOULD THIS
GOSPEL GET TO THE WORLD?
00:20:10.51\00:20:12.81
>> WE HAVE ALREADY HAD LAY
PEOPLE WHO ARE VERY EXCITED
00:20:12.81\00:20:15.68
ABOUT COMING. WE
HAD A LAYPERSON FROM
00:20:15.68\00:20:21.25
CHATTANOOGA, ALMA, AND SHE CAME
THROUGH OUR CLASSES THIS LAST
00:20:21.25\00:20:27.06
SUMMER. AND SHE IS
ALL EXCITED, SAID SHE
00:20:27.06\00:20:29.82
HAS NOT PREACHED BEFORE, BUT SHE
WANTS TO DO THIS, AND SO SHE IS
00:20:29.82\00:20:34.20
BRINGING, ACTUALLY A
VAN FULL OF PEOPLE --
00:20:34.20\00:20:36.40
>> AMEN. >> --
FROM CHATTANOOGA TO COME
00:20:36.40\00:20:40.04
TO THIS PARTICULAR
CLASS ON NOVEMBER 17TH.
00:20:40.04\00:20:43.34
>> WHEN TEENY WAS PREACHING
THERE IN THE UNIVERSITY OF
00:20:43.34\00:20:47.64
SOUTHERN MAINE, I
WOULD GO AS I COULD --
00:20:47.64\00:20:50.05
>> YOU WEREN'T STANDING AND SHE
HAD TO PREACH IN FRONT OF YOU?
00:20:50.05\00:20:53.95
>> NO, I WAS SITTING.
I WAS THE AMEN COURSE.
00:20:53.95\00:20:57.89
SHE CAN TELL YOU A REALLY FUNNY
EXPERIENCE WHAT HAPPENED ONE
00:20:57.89\00:21:02.02
NIGHT WHEN SHE WAS PREACHING
AND HER GRAPHICS WENT OUT.
00:21:02.02\00:21:05.33
>> WELL, I WAS VERY DEPENDANT
ON THOSE GRAPHICS, AND I WAS A
00:21:05.33\00:21:11.83
PREACHING ON THE SEVEN PLAGUES,
AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THOSE
00:21:11.83\00:21:17.04
GRAPHICS WENT OUT -- WENT DOWN.
AND I THOUGHT WHAT DO I DO NEXT?
00:21:17.04\00:21:23.78
NOW MARK WASN'T THERE ON MANY
OF THE OTHER SERMONS AND THAT
00:21:23.78\00:21:32.95
PARTICULAR NIGHT HE WAS THERE.
AND I THOUGHT I DON'T KNOW IF I
00:21:32.95\00:21:37.29
CAN JUST PICK UP MY
BIBLE AND DO IT LIKE HE DOES.
00:21:37.29\00:21:39.79
ALL OF A SUDDEN, I WAS IMPRESSED
THAT I WAS GOING TO SAY
00:21:39.79\00:21:46.84
SOMETHING THAT WAS VERY
UNUSUAL. I LOOKED OUT THERE.
00:21:46.84\00:21:49.77
I SAW HIM, AND I SAID, MY GOOD
FRIEND MAK FINLEY IS OUT THERE,
00:21:49.77\00:21:54.48
AND I THINK HE CAN COME UP
HERE AND FINISH THIS SERMON.
00:21:54.48\00:21:59.75
[ LAUGHTER ] >> AND
SO I HAD HIM COME UP, BUT
00:21:59.75\00:22:02.12
THE INTERESTING THING THAT
HAPPENED WAS THAT ALL THIS TIME
00:22:02.12\00:22:06.02
THERE WERE PEOPLE WORKING TO SEE
IF THEY COULD GET THE GRAPHICS
00:22:06.02\00:22:09.29
UP, AND SO HE PICKED UP
EXACTLY -- PICKED UP HIS BIBLE,
00:22:09.29\00:22:14.73
EXACTLY WHERE I LEFT OFF,
STARTED WORKING THROUGH THE
00:22:14.73\00:22:18.10
SEVEN -- WHERE I FINISHED
-- >> SHE FINISHED ON ABOUT THE
00:22:18.10\00:22:24.51
THIRD PLAYING, SO I PREACHED
THIRD PLAGUE, FOURTH PLAGUE,
00:22:24.51\00:22:31.11
FIFTH PLAGUE. >> AND
ALL OF A SUDDEN THEY GOT
00:22:31.11\00:22:34.45
THE GRAPHICS BACK UP, AND IT
PICKS UP RIGHT WHERE HE WAS, AND
00:22:34.45\00:22:38.52
SO HE SAID, WELL, MY WIFE WILL
COME UP AND FINISH THIS SERMON.
00:22:38.52\00:22:42.82
[ LAUGHTER ] >> I LOVE IT.
00:22:42.82\00:22:44.19
>> AND I THOUGHT OH KNOW.
BUT GOD REALLY BLESSED THAT
00:22:44.19\00:22:47.93
NIGHT. SO I KNOW LAY PEOPLE WITH
00:22:47.93\00:22:49.43
PREACH, EVEN IF
THEY ARE A LITTLE AFRAID.
00:22:49.43\00:22:52.67
THAT'S NOT MY -- I'M MORE
OF A TEACHER THAN A PREACHER --
00:22:52.67\00:22:56.67
>> BUT YOU DO
THAT WELL. >> BUT --
00:22:56.67\00:23:01.21
>> AND LET ME PAY YOU A
COMPLIMENT WHILE YOU ARE LIVE TO
00:23:01.21\00:23:05.41
SMELL YOUR FLOWERS. YOU
KIND OF KNOW WHEN YOU HAVE A
00:23:05.41\00:23:09.45
HOLD OF A MARK FINLEY
SERMON, IT'S GRAPHIC HEAVY.
00:23:09.45\00:23:13.46
AND YOU COULD PREACH A WHOLE
SERMON WITH NO WORDS, BECAUSE
00:23:13.46\00:23:17.29
IT'S VERY LINEAR, THE
POINTS FLOW VERY, VERY WELL.
00:23:17.29\00:23:21.20
AND IT'S VERY ADAPTABLE, YOUR
STYLE IS VERY ADAPTABLE TO A
00:23:21.20\00:23:26.84
NON-PROFESSIONAL PERSON
THAT THEY CAN TAKE THAT AND RU
00:23:26.84\00:23:28.94
THROUGH IT. YOU CAN
DO IT AT NIGHT BECAUSE
00:23:28.94\00:23:31.51
YOU WRITE WELL FOR EVERYONE.
>> YOU KNOW, CA WE TALKED ABOUT
00:23:31.51\00:23:35.84
LEGACY. WE'RE AT
PLACE IN OUR LIVES NOW,
00:23:35.84\00:23:42.92
THAT WE MAY LIVE TO A HEALTHY
HUNDRED, BUT I AM WISE ENOUGH TO
00:23:42.92\00:23:48.82
KNOW, AND TEENY IS WISE ENOUGH
TO KNOW, THAT IF JESUS DOESN'T
00:23:48.82\00:23:52.66
COME, WE HAVE REALLY
GOT TO PASS ON WHAT WE HAVE.
00:23:52.66\00:23:55.46
THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS I'M
EXCITED ABOUT WHAT WE'RE DOING
00:23:55.46\00:24:00.44
HERE ON THE BOOK OF REVELATION.
BEAUTIFUL BACKDROP, THE BEST I
00:24:00.44\00:24:04.77
HAVE EVER SEEN THAT 3ABN HAS
DONE, AND SO I'LL DO 24 MEETINGS
00:24:04.77\00:24:09.98
THIS WEEK HERE, TEENY WILL DO
NINE OR TEN ON HEALTH, AND WE'RE
00:24:09.98\00:24:14.72
JUST REALLY EXCITED ABOUT THAT,
BUT I AM TOTALLY COMMITTED TO
00:24:14.72\00:24:19.29
GIVING AWAY WHATEVER
WE KNOW, WHATEVER WE HAVE.
00:24:19.29\00:24:21.66
>> UH-HUH. >> WE
ARE JUST SO ANXIOUS AND
00:24:21.66\00:24:25.69
THAT'S WHY WE'RE THRILLED
WITH THE SCHOOL OF EVANGELISM AT
00:24:25.69\00:24:28.73
LIVING HOPE, BECAUSE WHEN WE
TAKE PASTORS FOR FIVE OR SEVEN
00:24:28.73\00:24:32.77
DAYS, WE STAY WITH THEM FROM
EARLY IN THE MORNING TO LATE AT
00:24:32.77\00:24:36.47
NIGHT. WE EAT
TOGETHER, WE FELLOWSHIP
00:24:36.47\00:24:40.88
TOGETHER, WE TALK TOGETHER.
WE HAVE THIS LEGACY THAT WE JUST
00:24:40.88\00:24:43.98
WANT TO GIVE AND GIVE AND GIVE
EVERYTHING WE HAVE, EVERYTHING
00:24:43.98\00:24:47.82
WE KNOW, SHARE OUR MATERIALS.
WE DON'T WANT TO HOLD THESE
00:24:47.82\00:24:54.86
THINGS CLOSE.
ANYTHING THAT WE HAVE, WE WANT
00:24:54.86\00:24:56.76
TO SHARE. >> YEAH.
00:24:56.76\00:24:58.56
>> YOU CAN'T IMAGINE HOW EXCITED
THE BRAZILIANS WERE WHEN THEY
00:24:58.56\00:25:02.96
CAME. MOST DID
NOT SPEAK ENGLISH, BUT
00:25:02.96\00:25:04.83
THEY HAD TWO PASTORS THAT
DID SPEAK ENGLISH, AND THEY WERE
00:25:04.83\00:25:08.54
TAKING TURNS TRANSLATING, AND
THEY WERE JUST SITTING THERE IN
00:25:08.54\00:25:13.24
RAPPED ATTENTION, BECAUSE THEY
JUST, YOU KNOW, WANTED TO TAKE
00:25:13.24\00:25:20.05
IT BACK TO BRAZIL. >> WOW.
00:25:20.05\00:25:21.58
>> AND THERE WAS JUST AN
EXCITEMENT HAVING THEM THERE.
00:25:21.58\00:25:25.05
>> PEOPLE MAY HAVE WONDERING
IF WE HAVE ANY OPENINGS
00:25:25.05\00:25:29.26
NOVEMBER 17TH AND 18 FOR OUR
PREACHING SEMINAR, AND WE DO.
00:25:29.26\00:25:33.19
IF THERE ARE THOSE THAT WOULD
LIKE TO COME TO THE PREACHING
00:25:33.19\00:25:38.87
SEMINAR THAT'S AT OUR LIVING
HOPE CENTER OF EVANGELISM.
00:25:38.87\00:25:44.17
>> AND THERE'S NO CHARGE.
>> WE DON'T MAKE ANY CHARGE FOR
00:25:44.17\00:25:47.34
A CLASS. >> YOU
CAN'T GO, YOU HAVE
00:25:47.34\00:25:50.75
ALREADY GRADUATED.
>> THE BIBLE SAYS FREELY
00:25:50.75\00:25:54.35
RECEIVE, AND FREELY GIVE.
>> THEY DO HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF
00:25:54.35\00:25:57.39
THEIR HOUSING -- >> SURE.
00:25:57.39\00:25:59.39
>> -- AND WE HAVE A GOOD HOTEL
THERE THAT THEY ARE PUT UP IN,
00:25:59.39\00:26:04.09
ABOUT 15
MINUTES FROM OUR CENTER.
00:26:04.09\00:26:06.16
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
THEY USUALLY EAT THEIR
00:26:06.16\00:26:10.97
MAIN MEAL AT THE CENTER. >>
YEAH AND IT'S A MODERATE FEE
00:26:10.97\00:26:16.14
FOR THEIR MEALS. AND
TEENY MAKES THE MEALS WITH A
00:26:16.14\00:26:22.31
TEAM. AND THEY
WILL GO AWAY FEELING SO
00:26:22.31\00:26:27.72
HEALTHY WHEN THEY ARE DONE.
IN PARTICULAR THEY LOVE THE SOY
00:26:27.72\00:26:33.49
BANANA SPLIT. >>
OH THAT SOUNDS GOOD.
00:26:33.49\00:26:36.99

AND THEY CAN GET THAT. >>
YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL MEDIA
00:27:51.97\00:27:54.97
CENTER HERE AT 3ABN. WE
JUST ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT, AND
00:27:54.97\00:27:58.77
WE HAVE JUST A VERY, VERY SMALL
MEDIA CENTER IN THE BACK OF OUR
00:27:58.77\00:28:03.95
CHURCH, BUT AT FIRST WE THOUGHT
WE NEEDED SOMETHING LARGER, BUT
00:28:03.95\00:28:07.65
WE HAVE SEEN THAT THIS IS
ACTUALLY VERY GOOD FOR US,
00:28:07.65\00:28:10.62
BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT WHEN
PASTORS AND OTHERS COME TO OUR
00:28:10.62\00:28:14.72
CENTER, THEY CAN SEE
THAT IT'S PRODUCIBLE.
00:28:14.72\00:28:18.09
>> OKAY. >> THAT
THEY CAN DO IT IN THEIR
00:28:18.09\00:28:21.40
CHURCH. THAT THEY
JUST NEED SOME KIND OF
00:28:21.40\00:28:23.33
ROOM WHERE THEY CAN HAVE A SMALL
MEDIA CENTER, AND THEY CAN REACH
00:28:23.33\00:28:27.30
THE WORLD, BECAUSE
WE'RE REACHING 161 COUNTRIES.
00:28:27.30\00:28:31.57
>> WOW. >> SO
IT'S JUST AMAZING, AND
00:28:31.57\00:28:35.58
OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A
BEAUTIFUL CENTER HERE AT 3ABN.
00:28:35.58\00:28:39.88
WE ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.
BUT OUR LITTLE CENTER IS
00:28:39.88\00:28:43.49
ADEQUATE FOR US, AND I THINK
THAT IT'S A GOOD EXAMPLE FOR
00:28:43.49\00:28:48.42
WHAT THE CHURCHES CAN DO, THE
LOCAL CHURCH CAN HAVE A MEDIA
00:28:48.42\00:28:52.06
CENTER AS WELL, SO WE WANT TO
HAVE A WHOLE TRAINING ON HOW TO
00:28:52.06\00:28:55.46
HAVE A MEDIA CENTER, AND SO WILL
BE SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE AS
00:28:55.46\00:29:01.97
WELL. >> WE'RE
REALLY ANXIOUS WITH OUR
00:29:01.97\00:29:03.64
SOCIAL MEDIA TOO.
WE'RE SEEING AMAZING THINGS.
00:29:03.64\00:29:06.31
I PRODUCED 70 PROGRAMS IN
THE LAST FEW MONTHS, 7-0 --
00:29:06.31\00:29:12.15
>> YOU HEAR THAT CA? I
GOT TO GET YOUR SCHEDULE
00:29:12.15\00:29:17.49
BEEFED UP A LITTLE BIT.
TAKING A VACATION TO PANAMA AND
00:29:17.49\00:29:20.82
ALL OF THAT.
THAT'S OUT FROM NOW ON.
00:29:20.82\00:29:23.36
[ LAUGHTER ] >>
AND HERE IS WHAT WE'RE
00:29:23.36\00:29:25.33
DOING -- WE HAVE -- YOU
CAN FINE THIS ON HOPELIVES365.
00:29:25.33\00:29:37.24
I'LL GIVE YOU AN EXAMPLE
OF ONE I HAVE DONE RECENTLY.
00:29:37.24\00:29:40.21
IT IS CALLED HOW TO GET THROUGH
CANCER, AND I DID A PROGRAM ON
00:29:40.21\00:29:45.31
WHERE IS GOD WHEN I
HAVE CANCER? AS HE LEFT ME?
00:29:45.31\00:29:47.95
>> YES. >> AND ONE
OF THE VERY PROMINENT
00:29:47.95\00:29:52.02
ADVENTIST BUSINESSMEN CALLED
ME AND HE SAID MY ADMINISTRATIVE
00:29:52.02\00:29:58.69
ASSISTANT'S HUSBAND HAS CANCER,
AND HE SAID WE WANT HIM TO WATCH
00:29:58.69\00:30:02.13
IT, AND THEY WATCHED IT, AND
I TALKED TO HER, AND SHE SAID MY
00:30:02.13\00:30:06.37
HUSBAND AND I WATCHED THAT FOUR
OR FIVE TIMES OVER THE WEEKEND
00:30:06.37\00:30:09.67
AND JUST CRIED AS WE SAW
IT. IT GAVE US SUCH HOPE.
00:30:09.67\00:30:14.78
A YOUNG PASTOR FROM COLORADO SAW
IT, AND HE SAID I HAVE A WOMAN
00:30:14.78\00:30:18.18
IN THE HOSPITAL. SHE IS
DYING OF CANCER, AND SHE
00:30:18.18\00:30:21.92
KEEPS SAYING GOD
IS GOING TO HEAL ME.
00:30:21.92\00:30:25.12
AND EVERY DAY
SHE IS GETTING WORSE.
00:30:25.12\00:30:27.26
SO WE GOT HER THE VIDEO.
HOW DO GET THROUGH CANCER, WHERE
00:30:27.26\00:30:33.86
IS GOD IN CANCER? AND
THE WOMAN WATCHED IT IN THE
00:30:33.86\00:30:37.90
HOSPITAL, AND SHE SAID NOW I'M
AT PEACE, BECAUSE I KNOW THIS
00:30:37.90\00:30:41.34
SINGLE TRUTH, WHAT I'M MORE
INTERESTED IN, THAN MY HEALING,
00:30:41.34\00:30:46.84
IS GIVING GOD GLORY. >> AMEN.
00:30:46.84\00:30:49.58
>> SO THERE'S SOMETHING MORE
IMPORTANT THAN MY INDIVIDUAL
00:30:49.58\00:30:54.38
HEALING. >> UH-HUH.
00:30:54.38\00:30:55.35
>> WHEN I WAS CHALLENGED WITH MY
HEALTH PROBLEMS ABOUT FOUR YEARS
00:30:55.35\00:30:59.25
AGO, THE THOUGHT WAS THAT
I MAY HAVE MULTIPLE MYLOMA.
00:30:59.25\00:31:09.90
YOU MAY LIVE FOUR TO
SEVEN YEARS IF YOU HAVE IT.
00:31:09.90\00:31:13.07
AND IT WAS REALLY A
TOUGH TIME IN MY LIFE.
00:31:13.07\00:31:17.01
YOU REALLY THINK
A LOT IN YOUR LIFE.
00:31:17.01\00:31:19.11
>> UH-HUH. >> AND
I REALLY WAS -- WAS
00:31:19.11\00:31:22.08
THINKING A GRAT DEAL WHEN I WAS
AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MARYLAND
00:31:22.08\00:31:25.35
WITH ONE OF THE SPECIALISTS, AND
HE SAID I'M GOING TO SEND YOU TO
00:31:25.35\00:31:29.55
AN ONCOLOGIST, AND WHEN I WAS
WALKING TO THE ONCOLOGIST, IT
00:31:29.55\00:31:38.03
HIT ME THAT'S NOT
GYNECOLOGIST. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:31:38.03\00:31:43.06
>> THIS GUY THINKS I MAY
HAVE CANCER, SO WE WENT THERE.
00:31:43.06\00:31:46.40
AND VERY, VERY CHALLENGING.
THEY CHECKED AND THEY SAID THE
00:31:46.40\00:31:50.34
SIGNS ARE THERE,
SOME OF THE LEVELS ARE UP.
00:31:50.34\00:31:52.94
AND WE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO
DO. AND I CALLED TEENY AND SHE
00:31:52.94\00:31:56.54
CALLED OUR CHILDREN, AND
THEY WERE UPSET, AND SO FORTH.
00:31:56.54\00:31:59.41
AND I BEGAN TO PRAYER, AND I
SAID TO TEENY, I SAID, YOU KNOW,
00:31:59.41\00:32:03.65
I'M NOT GOING TO
NECESSARILY PRAY FOR HEALING.
00:32:03.65\00:32:07.59
SHE SAID I AM. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:32:07.59\00:32:09.56
>> ABSOLUTELY. >> I
SAID BUT THIS IS WHAT I'M
00:32:09.56\00:32:13.19
GOING TO PRAY FOR, WHATEVER
GLORIFIES GOD WITH MY BODY,
00:32:13.19\00:32:18.97
THAT'S WHAT I WANT. IF I
CAN BE MORE GLORY TO GOD TO
00:32:18.97\00:32:23.81
DEMONSTRATE FAITH AND I
DIE, THAT'S WHAT I WANT TO DO.
00:32:23.81\00:32:27.01
AS DIFFICULT AS THAT IS.
I WANT TO GIVE GLORY TO GOD.
00:32:27.01\00:32:32.25
AND EVENTUALLY THEY BACKED UP
THE DIAGNOSIS, IT WAS SOMETHING
00:32:32.25\00:32:40.12
CALLED PRE-MULTIPLE-MILOMA,
SO I LIVE WITH THAT.
00:32:40.12\00:32:48.56
AND THAT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS I'M SO PASSIONATE ABOUT
00:32:48.56\00:32:54.20
PREACHING,
BECAUSE YOU NEVER KNOW.
00:32:54.20\00:32:56.07
>> SURE. >> BUT THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING
00:32:56.07\00:32:58.51
IN YOUR LIFE IS NOT
WHETHER YOU DIE FROM CANCER.
00:32:58.51\00:33:03.18
THE MOST IMPORTANT THING OF YOUR
LIFE IS WHETHER YOU CAN LIVE
00:33:03.18\00:33:07.28
GRACIOUSLY WITH IT. >> OKAY.
00:33:07.28\00:33:09.95
>> THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN
YOUR LIFE IS GIVING GLORY TO GOD
00:33:09.95\00:33:13.02
IN WHATEVER
HAPPENS TO YOU IN YOUR LIE.
00:33:13.02\00:33:15.42
AND THAT VIDEO
HAS JUST GONE VIRAL.
00:33:15.42\00:33:18.99
THOUSANDS AND
THOUSANDS HAVE WATCHED IT.
00:33:18.99\00:33:21.60
WHEN I DO THESE THREE TO
FIVE-MINUTE VIDEOS, ONE OF THEM
00:33:21.60\00:33:27.60
ARE PRACTICAL THINGS. YOU
CAN GET THEM ON FACEBOOK OR
00:33:27.60\00:33:32.67
HOPE LIVES 365. I DO
ONES ON HOW TO GET THROUGH
00:33:32.67\00:33:37.11
A DIVORCE. HOW TO
GET THROUGH DEPRESSION.
00:33:37.11\00:33:40.55
AND THERE IS ONE CALLED TRUTH
STILL LIVES, WHERE I TAKE ON THE
00:33:40.55\00:33:45.19
MOST DIFFICULT,
DIFFICULT BIBLE QUESTIONS.
00:33:45.19\00:33:51.09
ROMANS 14, THE RAPTURE THEOLOGY,
AND I ANSWER THEM IN FIVE OR SIX
00:33:51.09\00:33:56.30
MINUTES, TRUTH
STILL LIVES. >> OKAY.
00:33:56.30\00:33:58.00
LOVE IT. >> WE HAVE
FOUND -- WE HAVE HAD
00:33:58.00\00:34:01.37
AS MANY AS 90 TO 100,000 PEOPLE
THAT HAVE COME ON OUR FACEBOOK
00:34:01.37\00:34:11.15
PAGE. WE HAVE A
FRIEND NAMED MATTHEW
00:34:11.15\00:34:14.02
GREY AND HE IS COORDINATING OUR
SOCIAL MEDIA, AND HE IS DOING
00:34:14.02\00:34:18.95
FABULOUS JOB. AND
IT'S ALL VOLUNTEER.
00:34:18.95\00:34:24.63
WE DON'T HAVE THE
MONEY TO PAY THEM.
00:34:24.63\00:34:29.20
[ LAUGHTER ] >> BUT
THESE ARE YOUNG ADULTS
00:34:29.20\00:34:32.33
THAT ARE TREMENDOUSLY COMMITTED.
>> AND DOING A LOT OF SELF
00:34:32.33\00:34:36.14
LEARNING, JUST GOING ON THE
INTERNET OR OTHER SOURCES TO
00:34:36.14\00:34:39.91
JUST LEARN HOW TO DO THIS,
AND HE IS ABSOLUTELY DOING A
00:34:39.91\00:34:43.71
FABULOUS JOB. >> AMEN.
00:34:43.71\00:34:45.41
>> MARK I WAS INTERESTED HOW
YOU SAID IT EARLIER, GOD IS NOT
00:34:45.41\00:34:52.22
WAITING ON MORE HURRICANES
AND WHAT HAVE YOU, AND I THOUGHT
00:34:52.22\00:34:55.52
THAT WAS INTERESTING THE WAY YOU
SAID IT, BECAUSE MOST PEOPLE AND
00:34:55.52\00:34:59.56
OUR INSURANCE COMPANIES SAY THIS
IS AN ACT OF GOD, ALL OF THE
00:34:59.56\00:35:04.53
HURRICANES, EVERYTHING BAD THAT
HAPPENS, AND MANY PEOPLE LOSE
00:35:04.53\00:35:07.37
THEIR FAITH IN GOD, BECAUSE THEY
LOSE THEIR HOME AND THEIR LOVED
00:35:07.37\00:35:11.74
ONES, BUT IT DIDN'T SOUND LIKE
YOU WERE PUTTING THE BLAME ON
00:35:11.74\00:35:17.31
THAT -- YOU WERE ALMOST LIKE
GOD WAS WATCHING THAT WITH A SAD
00:35:17.31\00:35:20.58
HEART. EXPLAIN
THAT A LITTLE BIT,
00:35:20.58\00:35:22.25
BECAUSE IN LIGHT OF ALL OF THE
HURRICANES, BECAUSE MILLIONS OF
00:35:22.25\00:35:25.92
LIVES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED OUT
THERE ALL OF THE ISLANDS, AND
00:35:25.92\00:35:29.72
HERE IN AMERICA. HOW DO
YOU DEAL WITH SUCH -- AND
00:35:29.72\00:35:33.50
YOU PROBABLY HAVE
SOMETHING THAT WE CAN LOOK AT.
00:35:33.50\00:35:36.63
HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH
THESE TERRIBLE THINGS THAT ARE
00:35:36.63\00:35:40.00
HAPPENING AND
NOT BLAME GOD FOR IT?
00:35:40.00\00:35:42.20
YOU KNOW, I'M READING A BOOK
RIGHT NOW THAT IS ONE OF THE
00:35:42.20\00:35:46.21
MOST THOUGHT-PROVOKING
BOOKS I HAVE EVER HEAD.
00:35:46.21\00:35:50.51
IT'S CALLED "THE
INSANITY OF GOD."
00:35:50.51\00:35:54.22
IT'S AN AMAZING BOOK.
IT TELLS THE STORY OF A
00:35:54.22\00:35:58.22
MISSIONARY THAT WENT TO SOMALIA
IN THE EARLY '90S, AND HE SEES
00:35:58.22\00:36:03.46
THOUSANDS DYING EVERY DAY.
THEY DRIVE DOWN THE STREET AND
00:36:03.46\00:36:07.03
THERE ARE DEAD BODIES.
THERE IS A FAMINE IN THE LAND,
00:36:07.03\00:36:13.64
AND HE CAN'T WORK THROUGH
THIS WHOLE ISSUE OF EVIL.
00:36:13.64\00:36:17.27
AND HE BEGINS TO SAY DOES
CHRISTIANITY REALLY WORK THERE?
00:36:17.27\00:36:22.68
HE DEVELOPS FOUR FRIENDS,
AND THEY ARE KILLED BECAUSE THEY
00:36:22.68\00:36:25.98
BECOME CHRISTIANS, AND HE IS
SAYING WHERE IS GOD IN ALL OF
00:36:25.98\00:36:29.98
-pTHIS? >> HUH HUH. >>
HE BEGINS TO TRAVEL THE
00:36:29.98\00:36:32.69
WORLD. HE GOES
TO THE FORMER SOVIET
00:36:32.69\00:36:35.36
UNION, AND TALKS TO PEOPLE WHO
ARE IN PRISON FOR THEIR FAITH.
00:36:35.36\00:36:38.53
HE GOES TO CHINA, HE TRAVELS
TO THE PLACES THAT ARE THE MOST
00:36:38.53\00:36:44.90
REPRESSIVE ON CHRISTIANITY,
THE MIDDLE EAST, AND THIS IS THE
00:36:44.90\00:36:48.24
CONFUSION HE COMES TO. GOD
NEVER PROMISES FREEDOM FROM
00:36:48.24\00:36:52.87
SUFFERING. HE DOES
PROMISE US THAT HE WILL
00:36:52.87\00:36:54.98
BE WITH US. >> AMEN.
00:36:54.98\00:36:56.81
>> SO THE NATURAL DISASTERS
THAT WE SEE, THAT TAKE AWARE
00:36:56.81\00:37:00.35
HOMES -- JUST ONE OF OUR
TEAM -- ONE OF OUR CHURCH
00:37:00.35\00:37:03.55
MEMBERS WENT DOWN TO MEXICO
AFTER THE GREAT EARTHQUAKE
00:37:03.55\00:37:07.19
THERE, JUST A FEW WEEK S BACK,
AND HE TELLS ABOUT THAT PASTOR
00:37:07.19\00:37:14.03
WHO LOST EVERYTHING.
ANOTHER PASTOR ON A ROOF RESCUED
00:37:14.03\00:37:17.83
FROM THINK FLOODING IN HOUSTON,
AND GOD NEVER PROMISES US.
00:37:17.83\00:37:23.37
WE HAVE THIS IDEA IF YOU BELIEVE
IN GOD YOU ARE GOING TO BE
00:37:23.37\00:37:27.81
WEALTHY, HEALTHY, AND
WISE. THAT'S NOT BIBLICAL.
00:37:27.81\00:37:33.78
JOHN THE BAPTIST
DIDN'T EXPERIENCE THAT.
00:37:33.78\00:37:37.35
HIS HEAD WAS CUT OFF
BECAUSE OF HIS FAITH.
00:37:37.35\00:37:40.09
AND YOU LOOK AT THE CHRISTIAN
MARTYRS IN THE EARLY CENTURIES.
00:37:40.09\00:37:44.73
SO GOD HAS NOT PROMISED US,
CERTAINLY IF WE LIVE WITH THE
00:37:44.73\00:37:49.93
ADVENTIST HEALTH MESSAGE, WE
WILL LIVE LONGER AND HEALTHIER
00:37:49.93\00:37:54.80
LIVES, BUT STILL WE'RE
IN A WORLD OF HEART ACHE.
00:37:54.80\00:37:58.27
GOD IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR THAT,
BECAUSE WE ARE IN A PLANET IN
00:37:58.27\00:38:03.95
REBELLION AGAINST GOD.
THERE ARE TIMES THAT BAD THINGS
00:38:03.95\00:38:06.51
HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE. >> AMEN.
00:38:06.51\00:38:08.75
>> BUT TREMENDOUS PROMISE OF GOD
IS TWOFOLD, NUMBER 1 I WILL GO
00:38:08.75\00:38:20.13
THROUGH THIS FOR YOU. >> AMEN.
00:38:20.13\00:38:22.60
>> WE CAN HELP PEOPLE LIVE
LONGER HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER.
00:38:22.60\00:38:28.50
WE HAVE A PROGRAM
CALLED HEALTH TO THE MAX.
00:38:28.50\00:38:30.51
>> OKAY. >> AND
HEALTH TO THE MAX IS A
00:38:30.51\00:38:33.11
PROGRAM WHERE WE'RE GOING TO
BE TEACHING PEOPLE AND HELPING
00:38:33.11\00:38:36.34
PEOPLE TO SEE HOW THEY CAN GIVE
LONGER, HEALTHIER AND HAPPIER,
00:38:36.34\00:38:40.62
HOW THEY CAN REDUCE SOME OF
THESE CHRONIC DISEASES, SUCH AS
00:38:40.62\00:38:44.19
CANCER, HOW THEY CAN ACTUALLY
REVERSE DIABETES, TO HOW THEY
00:38:44.19\00:38:50.96
CAN REVERSE HEART DISEASE, AND
HOW THEY CAN ACTUALLY BE HELPED
00:38:50.96\00:38:55.33
WITH THEIR OBESITY. RIGHT
NOW IN THIS COUNTRY OF THE
00:38:55.33\00:38:58.70
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
WE HAVE 66.2% THAT ARE EITHER
00:38:58.70\00:39:03.77
OVERWEIGHT OR OBESE. AND
NOW THERE IS SOME STUDIES
00:39:03.77\00:39:07.88
THAT ARE SHOWING THAT THERE'S A
LINK BETWEEN OBESITY AND CANCER,
00:39:07.88\00:39:12.45
AND SO WE HAVE THIS PROGRAM
COMING UP, NOVEMBER 14TH,
00:39:12.45\00:39:19.92
NOVEMBER 21ST, NOVEMBER 28TH,
AND DECEMBER 5, FOUR CONSECUTIVE
00:39:19.92\00:39:24.76
PROGRAMS ON HEALTH TO THE MAX,
AND THIS IS FOR THE COMMUNITY
00:39:24.76\00:39:28.80
ALL AROUND US, NOT ONLY IN HAY
MARKET WHERE WE ARE, BUT ALSO
00:39:28.80\00:39:33.97
GAINESVILLE, AND
THE SURROUNDING TOWNS.
00:39:33.97\00:39:36.60
SO WE'RE ALREADY TAKING
REGISTRATIONS FOR HEALTH TO THE
00:39:36.60\00:39:41.08
MAX IN THAT AREA. SO
OUR GOAL IS TO HELP PEOPLE
00:39:41.08\00:39:45.38
HAVE BETTER HEALTH, HAVE A
BETTER SPIRITUAL LIFE, AND AS
00:39:45.38\00:39:48.72
MARK MENTIONED, WE DO WANT
TO PASS THIS ON TO OTHER PASTORS
00:39:48.72\00:39:53.32
AND LAY PEOPLE AS WELL, BECAUSE
LIKE YOU SAID, DANNY, THEY WANT
00:39:53.32\00:39:57.53
TO WORK. THEY ARE
PART OF GO YE, AND THEY
00:39:57.53\00:40:00.56
ARE PART OF
SPREADING THE MESSAGE.
00:40:00.56\00:40:03.60
>> ISN'T IT A BLESSING OF
GOD THAT YOU -- AND I DON'T KNOW
00:40:03.60\00:40:06.84
WHICH ONE OF YOU CAME UP -- OR
IF IT HIT YOU ALL AS ONCE THAT
00:40:06.84\00:40:11.81
SAID WE NEED TO BUILD A CENTER
HERE, AND YOU STARTED THE LONG
00:40:11.81\00:40:16.51
JOURNEY, THE PROCESS OF FAITH,
BUT NOW YOU SIT BACK AND IT
00:40:16.51\00:40:20.58
PROBABLY SEEMS UNREAL. THE
17TH AND 18TH, THAT WEEKEND
00:40:20.58\00:40:26.32
WE HAVE THIS SERIES, AND THE
12TH AND THE 14TH, WE HAVE THE
00:40:26.32\00:40:32.86
HEALTH TO THE MAX, AND ALL OF
THESE THINGS TO SEE THAT LITTLE
00:40:32.86\00:40:37.40
REALITY IN YOUR MINE, HAS
NOW COME TO FRUITION WITH GOD'S
00:40:37.40\00:40:43.91
BLESSINGS, AND IT IS PAID FOR.
AND WHAT I WANTED TO TALK TO OUR
00:40:43.91\00:40:48.78
VIEWERS ABOUT - AND I HAVE BEEN
IN THE SAME MINE SET, I'M SURE,
00:40:48.78\00:40:54.45
BUT WHEN YOU THINK OF PASTOR
MARK FINLEY, ASSISTANT TO THE
00:40:54.45\00:40:59.49
PRESIDENT OF THE GENERAL
CONFERENCE, ALL OF THESE -- YOU
00:40:59.49\00:41:04.69
JUST ASSUME THT EVERYTHING
THAT Y'ALL DO IS PID FOR BY THE
00:41:04.69\00:41:07.23
CHURCH, AND THAT'S JUST -- I
MEAN I COULD SEE PEOPLE THINKING
00:41:07.23\00:41:10.50
THAT, BECAUSE, WELL, YOU ARE
WITH THE GENERAL CONFERENCE, I'M
00:41:10.50\00:41:15.80
SURE THAT MONEY,
BUT THAT'S NOT THE CASE.
00:41:15.80\00:41:19.67
>> NO, AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING
IS A FAITH MINISTRY, AND THAT'S
00:41:19.67\00:41:24.85
WHY I FELT IMPRESSED -- THE LORD
-- TO SAY SOMETHING ABOUT -pBUT
I KNOW IT TAKES OPERATIONS,
00:41:24.85\00:41:44.00
AND THOSE OPERATIONS CAN ONLY
CONTINUE BY FINANCES THAT COME
00:41:44.00\00:41:47.14
IN. TO BUILD TV
STATIONS TO RAISE
00:41:47.14\00:41:48.84
THE MONEY FOR THEM IS THE
EASIEST THING, THE HUNDRED
00:41:48.84\00:41:53.64
THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH TO KEEP
THEM OPERATING THAT PEOPLE DON'T
00:41:53.64\00:42:01.28
SEE, SO THAT'S FOLK HAVE COME
HERE AND I'M SURE THEY HAVEN'T
00:42:01.28\00:42:07.79
SAID A WORD TO YOU, AND BECAUSE
SOME OF YOU MAY JUST BE JOINING
00:42:07.79\00:42:13.33
US THIS SECOND HOUR, AND WHAT
THEY ARE DOING IN THAT CENTER IS
00:42:13.33\00:42:17.43
MAKING A
DIFFERENCE AROUND THE WORLD.
00:42:17.43\00:42:20.10
PEOPLE ARE COMING, TAKING
BACK FROM BRAZIL, DIFFERENT
00:42:20.10\00:42:24.54
COUNTRIES, AND
IT'S ONLY GOING TO GROW.
00:42:24.54\00:42:26.57
AND THE MORE IT GROWS THE MORE
EXPENSIVE THOSE MEALS GET, AND
00:42:26.57\00:42:30.88
THE TOOLS GET, AND ALL YOU ARE
DOING ON SOCIAL MEDIA, AND AT
00:42:30.88\00:42:36.45
SOME POINT YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE
TO HAVE MORE PEOPLE TO WRITE
00:42:36.45\00:42:44.36
ANSWER TO ANSWER, AND IT GROWS.
>> YEAH, WE NEED AN ASSISTANT
00:42:44.36\00:42:51.87
FOR MARK, AND THAT'S A
BIG NEED, BECAUSE WE HAVE TH
00:42:51.87\00:42:57.57
RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
TEACHING AND PREACHING --
00:42:57.57\00:43:00.04
>> THAT WAS A
QUESTION I WAS GOING TO ASK.
00:43:00.04\00:43:04.48
YOU ARE THE
PRINCIPLE PRESENTER -- YOU TWO?
00:43:04.48\00:43:08.08
>> YES. WE
TYPICALLY TEACH IN THE
00:43:08.08\00:43:11.12
MORNINGS AND AFTERNOONS.
THEN I PREACH A LATE CLASS.
00:43:11.12\00:43:18.69
SHE GOES AND PREPARES FOOD.
THEN I'LL TEACH A COUPLE OF
00:43:18.69\00:43:24.37
CLASSES. THEN IN
THIS EVENINGS, WE'RE OUT
00:43:24.37\00:43:26.50
IN THE COMMUNITY, AND OUR
SCHOOL IS SO RAPIDLY EXPANDING.
00:43:26.50\00:43:32.31
I DIDN'T EXPECT THAT OUR
SCHOOL WOULD EXPAND SO RAPIDLY.
00:43:32.31\00:43:35.94
BUT NOW WE'RE STARTING A SECOND
ADVENTURE DURING THE SUMMER IN
00:43:35.94\00:43:40.68
ENGINEER LAN, AND WE HAVE WORKED
WITH THE TRANSEUROPEAN DIVISION,
00:43:40.68\00:43:45.62
AND WE'LL HAVE ABOUT 200 PASTORS
FROM EUROPE THAT WILL COME TO
00:43:45.62\00:43:51.59
OUR INTENSIVE. WE
ALSO HAVE A SPECIAL
00:43:51.59\00:43:56.90
COOPERATION WITH SOUTHERN
ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY, AND IN THE
00:43:56.90\00:44:01.20
SUMMER SOMETIME, WITH WE'RE
ABLE TO TEACH MASTER'S PROGRAMS.
00:44:01.20\00:44:08.88
THEY DO PART OF THEIR WORK WITH
US, AND PART OF THEIR WORK AT
00:44:08.88\00:44:14.02
SOUTHERN ADVENTIST UNIVERSITY.
IN ADDITION TO THAT WE HAVE BEEN
00:44:14.02\00:44:19.02
ASKED TO COME TO AFRICA,
AND WE'RE GOING TO HAVE A LARGE
00:44:19.02\00:44:23.19
EVANGELISTIC SERIES
IN TANZANIA THIS YEAR.
00:44:23.19\00:44:27.36
THEY TOLD US WE'LL HAVE A
-THOUSAND TO 1100 STUDENTS. SHE
WON'T BE COOKING FOR THEM
00:44:27.36\00:44:37.31
THOUGH. [ LAUGHTER ]
00:44:37.31\00:44:38.31
>> SO THAT ONE
WILL BE PRETTY EXCITING.
00:44:38.31\00:44:40.94
AND ALSO THE ISRAEL CENTER.
>> YEAH, WE'RE STARTING A NEW
00:44:40.94\00:44:44.68
CENTER AS WELL -- AND THE IDEA
THERE IS -- THIS WILL LAUNCH IN
00:44:44.68\00:44:50.19
2019. WHAT WE WANT
TO DO THERE IS TAKE
00:44:50.19\00:44:53.49
PASTORS TO ISRAEL, TEACH THEM
IN THE LAND OF JESUS AND IN THE
00:44:53.49\00:44:57.99
LAND OF THE OP  -- APOSTLES IN
THE MORNING, AND TAKE THEM OUT
00:44:57.99\00:45:07.04
TO THE SITES IN THE AFTERNOON.
AND THEN WE'RE STARTING THE
00:45:07.04\00:45:12.34
ONLINE UNIVERSITY. THE
ONLINE UNIVERSITY IS THIS,
00:45:12.34\00:45:14.68
HERE IS THE WEAKNESS IN ALL
TRAINING, AND I HAVE BEGUN TO
00:45:14.68\00:45:18.81
SEE THIS THROUGH THE
YEARS. PEOPLE MAY GET THEIR
00:45:18.81\00:45:22.98
EVANGELISTIC TRAINING FOR FIVE
TO SEVEN DAYS, BUT WHAT HAPPENS
00:45:22.98\00:45:27.12
AFTER THAT? THEY GO BACK.
00:45:27.12\00:45:30.83
DID THEY FORGET
ABOUT IT? OR IMPLEMENT IT?
00:45:30.83\00:45:36.00
SO GOD HAS LEAD A PERSON IN
OUR CHURCH TO DEVELOP WITH US A
00:45:36.00\00:45:40.17
SCHOOL OF
EVANGELISM ONLINE. >> GREAT.
00:45:40.17\00:45:42.34
>> AND WE'LL HAVE 15
TO 20, MAYBE 25 CLASSES.
00:45:42.34\00:45:48.78
PEOPLE CAN TAKE A
CLASS ANYPLACE IN THE WORLD.
00:45:48.78\00:45:51.51
WE WANT THEM TO COME TO OUR
CENTER, OF COURSE, BECAUSE THERE
00:45:51.51\00:45:54.52
IS SOMETHING ABOUT THAT
FACE-TO-FACE, BUT WHEN THEY
00:45:54.52\00:45:57.59
LEAVE THEY CAN TAKE A CLASS
ON HEALTH MINISTRIES, A CLASS ON
00:45:57.59\00:46:02.06
PUBLIC EVANGELISM, A CLASS
ON LAST-DAY EVENTS, SO WE'RE
00:46:02.06\00:46:07.30
INCREDIBLY EXCITED ABOUT
THAT ONLINE MINISTRY THAT WE'RE
00:46:07.30\00:46:10.23
REALLY DEVELOPING AS
WELL. SOCIAL MEDIA EXPLODING.
00:46:10.23\00:46:15.07
AND SO WE BELIEVE THAT GOD IS
GOING TO CONTINUE TO WORK, AND,
00:46:15.07\00:46:20.41
AGAIN, WE'RE AT OUR CENTER MAYBE
40% OF OUR TIME, BUT MOST OF THE
00:46:20.41\00:46:25.95
TIME WHEN PEOPLE DONATE TO US,
WE'RE OUT DOING EVANGELISM ON
00:46:25.95\00:46:29.38
THE GREAT PLATFORMS OF THE WORLD
AS LONG AS GOD GIVES US ENERGY,
00:46:29.38\00:46:33.86
WE KEEP PREACHING AND THE
SUPPORT OF OUR PEOPLE HELPS US
00:46:33.86\00:46:37.99
DO THAT. >> TEENY I
WAS IN INDIA A NUMBER
00:46:37.99\00:46:42.93
OF YEARS AGO WITH A NUMBER
OF OTHER FOLK, AND A LAYMAN, BOB
00:46:42.93\00:46:49.77
PAHLSSON, NOT A PREACHER BUT
HE PUTS IN HANDRAILING AND STUFF
00:46:49.77\00:46:54.11
AROUND HOUSES,
AWNINGS AND THINGS LIKE THAT.
00:46:54.11\00:46:57.38
THEY INVATED ME TO GO, AND 3ABN
TO GO AND DO FILMING AND TAPING
00:46:57.38\00:47:03.79
THERE, WHICH WE DID.
AND I SAW BOB GET UP -- EACH
00:47:03.79\00:47:06.92
NIGHT WE HAD AN
ESTIMATED 40 TO 50,000 PEOPLE.
00:47:06.92\00:47:10.79
THERE WAS NO BUILDING THAT WOULD
HOLD THE PEOPLE, SO ALMOST AS
00:47:10.79\00:47:14.23
FAR AS YOU COULD SEE, AND WE
WOULD SEE A HUNDRED TO -- PAT
00:47:14.23\00:47:19.63
AND OTHERS WERE IN CARGE OF
TRUCKS, THERE WOULD MAYBE BE A
00:47:19.63\00:47:28.21
HUNDRED, 200 BIG
TRUCKS HAULING PEOPLE.
00:47:28.21\00:47:30.61
AND WENT THROUGH THIS ENTIRE
SERIES, NOT A WORLD OF HIS OWN.
00:47:30.61\00:47:36.25
HE PREACHED YOUR SERMONS, BUT
I ALWAYS SAY THAT GOD BLESSES US
00:47:36.25\00:47:41.92
IN SPITE OF US, SO IT'S NOT
REALLY THAT MARK IS DOING IT,
00:47:41.92\00:47:45.76
BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT IMPRESSED
YOU, SO YOU ARE SHARING THAT
00:47:45.76\00:47:48.83
WITH OTHERS, THEY TOO CAN
BE EFFECTIVE, SO GOD DIDN'T SAY
00:47:48.83\00:47:57.31
MARK FINLEY. GOD
SAYS YOU TAKE HIS SERMONS
00:47:57.31\00:47:59.84
AND YOU GO
PREACH THEM. >> UH-HUH.
00:47:59.84\00:48:02.48
>> AND 15,000 PEOPLE
WERE BAPTIZED IN THE ADVENTIST
00:48:02.48\00:48:06.78
CHURCH, THOUSANDS CAME TO JESUS
FOR WHAT YOU HAD DONE THAT YOU
00:48:06.78\00:48:13.05
WEREN'T EVEN THERE -- YOU
WEREN'T EVEN IN THE COUNTRY, BUT
00:48:13.05\00:48:16.56
YET YOUR WORK -- >> WE
REALIZE THAT WE NEEDED TO
00:48:16.56\00:48:19.46
PASS IT ON WHEN WE WERE AT AN
ASI CONVENTION, AND A LITTLE BIT
00:48:19.46\00:48:25.67
CAME UP TO MARK AND HE KEPT
SAYING, PASTOR FINLEY, I MUST
00:48:25.67\00:48:31.01
TALK TO YOU, AND HE KEPT PULLING
HIS SLEEVE AND SAYING PASTOR
00:48:31.01\00:48:36.41
FINLEY, I HAVE TO TALK TO YOU.
SO MARK SAID, OKAY, SON, WHAT
00:48:36.41\00:48:40.35
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TALK ABOUT?
AND HE SAID PASTOR FINLEY, I
00:48:40.35\00:48:44.52
JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW
THAT I'M PRAYING FOR YOU.
00:48:44.52\00:48:46.76
>> WOW. >> WOW.
00:48:46.76\00:48:48.99
>> SO THEN HE -- HE STOPPED FOR
A MOMENT, AND THEN HE SAID, AND
00:48:48.99\00:48:53.26
PASTOR FINLEY, YOU ARE GOING TO
NEED IT AS YOU TRAVEL ALL OVER
00:48:53.26\00:48:57.10
THE WORLD TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT
JESUS, ESPECIALLY AT YOUR AGE.
00:48:57.10\00:49:03.07
[ LAUGHTER ] >> AND
SO WE REALIZED THAT WE
00:49:03.07\00:49:06.27
NEED PASS THIS ON. >> INDEED.
00:49:06.27\00:49:09.48
INDEED. WELL AS
YOU SAID, IF YOU WERE A
00:49:09.48\00:49:12.15
YOUNGER MAN, YOU
COULD DON'T THIS.
00:49:12.15\00:49:16.32
I'M CONNECTING THE DOTS ON
YOUR ITINERARY, YOU HAVE BEEN TO
00:49:16.32\00:49:22.92
CHINA, ENGLAND, AND SPENDING
INCREDIBLE TIME AT THIS SCHOOL.
00:49:22.92\00:49:26.26
IT OCCURS TO ME THAT NOBODY
GETS A SCHOLARSHIP ON FAITH.
00:49:26.26\00:49:30.17
FROM THE MARK FINLEY TO THE
ELDER IN THE LOCAL CHURCH, AND
00:49:30.17\00:49:33.94
WHAT IS INSPIRING ABOUT YOUR
TESTIMONY IS THAT GOD HAS GIVEN
00:49:33.94\00:49:37.34
YOU A PLATFORM TO DO WHA YOU
HAVE DONE FOR MANY YEARS, NOW
00:49:37.34\00:49:41.51
YOU ARE PASSING THAT LEGACY
ON TO OTHERS, AND WHATEVER YOUR
00:49:41.51\00:49:45.78
PLATFORM IS -- IT MAY BE A SMALL
CHURCH IN A RURAL SETTING OR A
00:49:45.78\00:49:50.69
CITY CHURCH THAT THIS CAN BE
REPLICATED, YOU SAID IT BEFORE,
00:49:50.69\00:49:54.46
IF YOU ARE AVAILABLE, GOD WILL
TAKE WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS
00:49:54.46\00:49:58.93
AND USE IT TO HIS GLORY.
>> I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT THE
00:49:58.93\00:50:04.13
POTENTIAL FOR SEVENTH-DAY
ADVENTIST LAY PEOPLE, AND
00:50:04.13\00:50:07.77
CHRISTIAN LAY
PEOPLE AROUND THE WORLD.
00:50:07.77\00:50:09.37
>> AMEN. >> THE
HOLY SPIRIT LEADS THEM IN
00:50:09.37\00:50:12.57
THEIR OWN WAY TO GIVE OUT A
PIECE OF LITERATURE, TO GIVE A
00:50:12.57\00:50:16.61
BIBLE STUDY, TO GET
INVOLVED IN A HEALTH MINISTRY.
00:50:16.61\00:50:20.28
EVERYBODY CAN'T DO EVERYTHING,
BUT EVERBODY CAN DO SOMETHING.
00:50:20.28\00:50:22.82
>> SOMETHING. >> AND
WE GROW SPIRITUALLY AS WE
00:50:22.82\00:50:26.22
GROW OUR FAITH. JESUS
SAID IT'S MORE BLESSED TO
00:50:26.22\00:50:33.06
GIVE THAN RECEIVE. SOME
PEOPLE COME TO A PLATEAU IN
00:50:33.06\00:50:36.30
THEIR SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE,
AND IT KIND OF BECOMES BLAH, BUT
00:50:36.30\00:50:39.67
THEN THE SPIRIT BEGINS LEADING
THEM TO SERVICE, AND THEY GET
00:50:39.67\00:50:46.21
INVOLVED, AND THAT INVOLVEMENT
JUST REIGNITES THAT SPIRITUAL
00:50:46.21\00:50:49.78
COMMITMENT TO CHRIST. I
HAVE JUST WRITTEN A BOOK
00:50:49.78\00:50:52.85
CALLED UNSHAKABLE FAITH,
AND IT'S ON THE REFORMATION.
00:50:52.85\00:50:56.79
WE'RE CELEBRATING THE
500TH YEAR OF THE REFORMATION.
00:50:56.79\00:51:05.23
1517, YOU KNOW, UNTIL 2017, AND
WHEN I THINK ABOUT THAT BOOK, I
00:51:05.23\00:51:08.46
DID A LOT OF RESEARCH ON THE
BACKGROUND OF THE REFORMERS, AND
00:51:08.46\00:51:13.23
THERE WERE A COUPLE OF THINGS
THAT BROUGHT DEEP CONVICTION TO
00:51:13.23\00:51:19.11
MY SOUL. THE
DINZEYS MADE THE WORD OF GOD
00:51:19.11\00:51:23.14
THEIR MODEL. THEY
WERE NOT SHAPED BY CULTURE
00:51:23.14\00:51:26.21
OR THE POPULAR CHURCH, BUT THE
BOOK OF GOD WAS THEIR
MOTTO.-WHEN YOU LOOK AT MARTIN
00:51:26.21\00:51:34.22
LUTHER, THE WORD OF GOD HIS
MOTTO. AS HE STUDIED THE WORD,
00:51:34.22\00:51:40.13
IT ENLIGHTENED HIS HEART. I
REMEMBER READING ABOUT LUTHER,
00:51:40.13\00:51:44.43
WHEN HE FIRST FOUND A BIBLE IN A
MONASTERY, HE BEGAN TO REED IT,
00:51:44.43\00:51:49.00
AND AS HE TOOK THAT BOOK IN HIS
HANDS, HE SAID I NEVER KNEW A
00:51:49.00\00:51:53.34
BOOK LIKE THIS EXISTED. AND
HIS HEART JUST BURNED WITHIN
00:51:53.34\00:51:58.11
HIM. AND HE READ
THE BOOK OF ROMANS
00:51:58.11\00:52:00.38
AND IT CHANGED HIS LIFE.
AND PEOPLE IN THE TRADITIONAL
00:52:00.38\00:52:05.25
CHURCH, THEIR HEARTS WERE
TRANSFORMED BY THE GRACE OF GOD,
00:52:05.25\00:52:08.26
AND THE THING THAT I'M
SO IMPRESSED WITH IS THIS.
00:52:08.26\00:52:11.76
THAT THE BIBLE IS RELEVANT.
IT MEETS THE NEEDS OF PEOPLE.
00:52:11.76\00:52:15.63
>> AMEN. >> I
PREACHED ALL OVER THE WORLD
00:52:15.63\00:52:18.40
TO THE YOUNG AND OLD, EDUCATED
AND UNEDUCATED, I STOOD IN
00:52:18.40\00:52:23.74
UNIVERSITIES, ONE OF THE TOP
50 UNIVERSITIES IN THE WORLD IN
00:52:23.74\00:52:27.14
SOUTH AFRICA, OR I HAVE BEEN IN
DIRT ROADS IN THE PHILIPPINES,
00:52:27.14\00:52:32.91
AND PUT A LANTERN ON A TABLE,
BUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD SPEAKS TO
00:52:32.91\00:52:37.12
THE YOUNG AND THE OLD, THE
SPIRIT OF GOD TOUCHES LIVES AND
00:52:37.12\00:52:40.89
CHANGES THEM
THROUGH THE WORD OF GOD.
00:52:40.89\00:52:42.89
IF WE EVER GET AWAY FROM THE
WORD, IF WE'RE EVER ALLOWED IN
00:52:42.89\00:52:47.23
THIS CHURCH, THE ADVENTIST
CHURCH OR ANY OTHER CHRISTIAN
00:52:47.23\00:52:51.23
COMMUNITY, TO BE SHAPED
BY CULTURE, WE WILL LOSE THAT
00:52:51.23\00:52:55.77
VIBRANCE OF FAITH AND BECOME
SIMPLY LIKE ANY OTHER RELIGIOUS
00:52:55.77\00:53:01.78
COMMUNION. IT IS
THE WORD OF GOD, THE
00:53:01.78\00:53:04.85
TEACHINGS OF THE WORD, THE TRUTH
OF THE WORD, THE CHRIST OF THE
00:53:04.85\00:53:08.02
WORD THAT JUST
CHANGES OUR LIVES.
00:53:08.02\00:53:11.15
>> ABSOLUTELY. BEAUTIFULLY SAID.
00:53:11.15\00:53:12.72
AND I -- MY BURDEN IS FOR SO
MANY PEOPLE WHILE SOCIAL MEDIA
00:53:12.72\00:53:18.29
IS SUCH A GREAT TOOL, IT ALSO
CAN BE USED, YOU KNOW, FOR EVIL
00:53:18.29\00:53:22.66
AND BAD AND DIVISION, AND I
SEE PEOPLE WITHIN THE CHURCH,
00:53:22.66\00:53:26.63
CHRISTIANS, PROBABLY EVERY
CHURCH ON FACEBOOK WHERE PUBLIC
00:53:26.63\00:53:30.71
CAN READ ARGUING ABOUT CERTAIN
THINGS OR DISAGREEING ABOUT
00:53:30.71\00:53:34.88
POLITICS AND DOING ALL OF
THESE, AND I'M LIKE WHY DONE WE
00:53:34.88\00:53:37.91
TAKE -- IF WE HAVE A TOOL THAT
WE CAN USE, WHERE YAY, THOUSANDS
00:53:37.91\00:53:44.05
OF PEOPLE CAN GET ON FACEBOOK
AROUND THE WORLD, WHAT IF EACH
00:53:44.05\00:53:50.19
OF US JUST PUT UP JOHN 3:16, YOU
KNOW, PUT UP SOMETHING POSITIVE
00:53:50.19\00:53:56.26
AND GOOD THAT REPRESENTS
JESUS, AND LIFTS HIM UP.
00:53:56.26\00:54:00.20
AND WHAT WE'RE HEARING IN YOU
TONIGHT IS WE HAVE TO STAY TRUE
00:54:00.20\00:54:03.61
TO THE PRINCIPLES OF THE BIBLE,
AND WHEN WE SUBMIT AND COMMIT
00:54:03.61\00:54:07.24
OUR LIFE TO JESUS, THEN WE'RE
READY FOR WHATEVER COMES OUR
00:54:07.24\00:54:10.65
WAY, WHETHER IT'S THE SICKNESS,
THE DEATH, THE FINANCIAL
00:54:10.65\00:54:14.18
PROBLEMS, HE'S SAYING --
YOU NAME IT, WE MAY NOT ON THIS
00:54:14.18\00:54:18.12
EARTH -- THE BIBLE SAYS IT ONCE
APPOINTED A TIME FOR EVERY MAN
00:54:18.12\00:54:23.73
TO DIE, SOIT'S NOT HOW LONG
WE LIVE, BUT WHAT HAPPENS TO US
00:54:23.73\00:54:27.66
WHEN WE DIE, ARE WE READY TO
MEET JESUS CHRIST AND LIVE IN
00:54:27.66\00:54:34.57
ETERNITY FOR HIM? SO
THANK YOU FOR HELPING US
00:54:34.57\00:54:37.37
FOCUS THAT WE'RE ALL HERE FOR
A MOMENT, WHETHER WE DIE BEFORE
00:54:37.37\00:54:43.21
JESUS COMES OR LIVE FOR THE
SECOND COMING, BUT WE WANT TO BE
00:54:43.21\00:54:47.48
ABLE TO LOOK UP AND SAY THIS
IS OUR GOD WE HAVE WAITED FOR.
00:54:47.48\00:54:50.85
HE HAS COME TO SAVE US. >>
THAT'S THE ENTIRE GOAL OF OUR
00:54:50.85\00:54:54.96
LIVES IS TO PRESENT JESUS
AND HELP OTHERS TO GET INTO THE
00:54:54.96\00:54:58.33
KINGDOM. SO WE ARE
EXCITED ABOUT HAVING
00:54:58.33\00:55:00.53
THIS OPPORTUNITY AS WELL AS
TO BE ON 3ABN, BECAUSE I KNOW
00:55:00.53\00:55:05.23
THAT'S A GREAT WAY THAT -- GREAT
TOOL THAT GOD IS USING TO HAVE
00:55:05.23\00:55:10.41
LITERALLY THOUSANDS AND
MILLIONS LEARN ABOUT JESUS.
00:55:10.41\00:55:13.31
>> PRAISE THE
LORD. I WANT TO PUT UP.
00:55:13.31\00:55:16.34

THANK YOU, MARK AND

00:56:22.31\00:56:26.78
>> ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
THINGS THAT I HAVE HEARD THIS
00:56:26.78\00:56:30.89
NIGHT IS THE IDEA THAT IF YOU
WANT TO, THERE IS A METHODOLOGY
00:56:30.89\00:56:34.32
FOR YOU TO GET TRAINED.
THIS IDEA OF THE SHORT-TERM
00:56:34.32\00:56:37.93
TRAINING IS -- IS BRILLIANT,
AND IT IS AN IDEA WHO'S TIME HAS
