WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE IS NOT 23:43 JUST, WELL, THAT'S ALABAMA, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. 23:46 THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE KNOWN FOR YEARS IS GOING TO HAPPEN. 23:50 THIS IS GOING TO CAUSE DIVISION. THERE IS GOING TO BE 23:53 PEOPLE -- AS HE SAID, THERE WILL BE LAWSUITS OVER THIS, I DON'T 23:56 DOUBT THAT A BIT, BUT THE FOCUS IS ON THE LAW OF GOD, SO WE HAVE 24:01 TO STEP UP NOW, AND OUR TIME IS SHORT, SO IN ORDER TO GET ALL OF 24:06 THESE BOOKS PRINTED AND SHIPPED BY ZIP CODE BEFORE NOVEMBER IS 24:13 OUR GOAL, BECAUSE THAT'S WHEN EVERYBODY IS LOOKING AT IT 24:16 BEFORE THE VOTE.

I HAVE READ IT MANY TIMES, AND I-pLIKE -- THE BOOK THAT IS OUT NOW 24:49 IS A REVISED COPY, BUT THIS WAS THE ORIGINAL. 24:53 DANNY WHAT HAS HAPPENED IS THAT, WHEN I WAS BORN BACK IN 1950, I -pWAS RAISED IN A CHRISTIAN HOME. 24:59 MY MOM AND DAD WERE CHRISTIANS. THEY WERE STRONG BELIEVERS AND 25:04 THEY RAISED ME IN CHURCH. I CAN PROBABLY COUNT ON ONE HAND 25:09 HOW MANY TIMES I HAVE NOT BEEN TO CHURCH GROWING UP. 25:14 SO IT WAS EVERY SUNDAY MORNING, SUNDAY NIGHT, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. 25:24 HE DROVE THE SCHOOL BUS. IT WAS A FIRST DAY CHURCH. 25:27 >> OKAY. >> SO THAT'S ALL THAT I HAVE 25:30 EVER KNOWN. AND WHEN I WAS NINE YEARS OLD, I 25:33 GAVE MY HEART TO JESUS AS MY SAVIOR, AND I GREW UP IN THE 25:38 CHURCH, AND AT AGE 20, I KNEW AT THAT TIME THAT GOD HAD CALLED ME 25:42 TO BE A PASTOR, AND I WENT TO SEMINARY AND GOT MY DEGREE. 25:47 >> OKAY. >> AND I STARTED PASTORING 25:51 CHURCHES IN 1974, OF COURSE THEY WERE FIRST DAY -- FIRST DAY 25:55 CHURCH. THAT'S ALL I KNEW. 25:57 I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE SABBATH. THAT WAS JUST SOME OLD TESTAMENT 26:02 THING. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT MUCH ABOUT 26:05 SABBATH. SO WE STARTED A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL 26:08 BACK IN 1993 THERE IN HUNTSVILLE, WHERE WE LIVE. 26:13 >> UH-HUH. >> AND AS WE WERE GOING THROUGH 26:17 OUR SCHOOL ONE DAY, A GENTLEMEN HAD HIS CHILDREN IN OUR SCHOOL. 26:23 HE KNOCKED ON MY DOOR, CAME IN TO SEE ME, AND HE SAID I GOT A 26:29 BOOK I WOULD LIKE YOU TO READ. HE WAS SETTING ME UP. 26:37 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THIS WAS WHAT YEAR? 26:38 >> 2006. >> OKAY. 26:40 >> HE SAID I WANT YOU TO READ THIS BOOK, AND FIND WHAT IS 26:45 WRONG WITH IT. HE SAID I TRUST YOUR ABILITIES 26:48 TO UNDERSTAND AND DISCERN, AND WOULD YOU JUST READ THIS BOOK. 26:53 IT WON'T TAKE YOU LONG. >> AND HE KNOWS YOU HAVE A 26:56 DOCTOR'S IN CHRISTIAN EDUCATION -- 26:58 >> HE WAS STROKING ME. [ LAUGHTER ] 27:00 >> HE IS SAYING TO YOU, TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE BOOK. 27:04 >> AND HE CAN BRING IT BACK TO SHELLEY AND ME AND WE CAN 27:08 CORRECT IT. >> AND YOU CAN CORRECT IT. 27:10 >> OKAY. GOOD. 27:12 >> SO I THOUGHT I HAD FIND SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT. 27:15 SO I READ IT, AND READ IT ONE TIME, AND I -- IT WAS JUST AN 27:21 INTRODUCTORY TIME. AND I READ IT, AND I THOUGHT 27:24 I'LL READ IT AGAIN. SO I READ IT TWICE. 27:28 READ IT A THIRD TIME, AND I COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG 27:32 WITH IT. AND MY HEART WAS BEGINNING TO BE 27:35 PRICKED A LITTLE BIT. OF -- SO MY GAVE IT TO MY WIFE, 27:50 AND SAID TELL ME WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS. 27:52 SHE READ IT, AND PUT THE BOOK DOWN AND LOOKED AT ME. 27:58 AND SHE SAID REGGIE, THIS IS A NO-BRAINER. 28:03 WHY AREN'T WE FOLLOWING THIS? AND I JUST TOLD HER, I DON'T 28:08 KNOW WHY WE'RE NOT FOLLOWING THIS. 28:11 AND ALL ALONG GOD WAS USING THIS TO TEACH ME WHAT I HAE BEEN 28:16 MISSING ALL OF THOSE YEARS. >> WOW. 28:18 >> THIS WAS IN 2006. >> UH-HUH. 28:21 >> AND AFTER READING THE BOOK FIVE TIMES -- 28:26 >> SO YOU WENT BACK AFTER THREE TIMES. 28:29 >> I READ IT FIVE TIMES. >> AND YOUR WIFE READ IT ONCE. 28:34 >> SHE READ IT ONCE. [ LAUGHTER ] 28:36 >> SHE IS A LITTLE FASTER THAN YOU. 28:40 >> SHE IS A LITTLE FASTER THAN ME. 28:43 BUT I READ IT THE FIFTH TIME, AND I WAS CONVINCED I DIDN'T 28:47 NEED TO READ THIS BOOK AGAIN, BUT I NEEDED TO DO WHAT THE BOOK 28:52 TAUGHT ME TO DO. AND IT DROVE ME TO THE 28:55 SCRIPTURES AND I LOOKED UP EVERY REFERENCE, REFERENCED IN THIS 29:00 BOOK, AND PARTICULARLY THE SCRIPTURES IN THE NEW TESTAMENT, 29:03 AND I BEGAN SEEING IT IN A TOTALLY DIFFERENT LIGHT THAN 29:07 WHAT I HAD EVER SEEN IT BEFORE. I'M TELLING YOU, IT WAS LIKE THE 29:11 LIGHT CAME ON. >> OKAY. 29:13 >> IT WAS LIKE HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT. 29:17 AND THE LIGHT COME ON AND NOW I COULD SEE IT. 29:20 SO NOW I HAD A CHALLENGE, BECAUSE WE HAVE A CHURCH, AND 29:24 I'M PASTOR OF A CONGREGATION THAT IS FIRST DAY, AND THAT'S 29:28 ALL WE HAD EVER KNOWN. >> SURE. 29:30 >> SO KATHY AND I WENT ON THAT NEXT SUNDAY, AND WE TOLD THE 29:35 CHURCH WHAT WE WERE CONVICTED OF DOING, AND THAT WE WERE -- 29:39 >> YOU HAD A LARGE CHURCH SCHOOL AT THE TIME. 29:43 >> YES, 130 STUDENTS. >> 130 STUDENTS. 29:47 >> YES. >> 130 STUDENTS, SO WE DIDN'T 29:50 KNOW WHERE THIS WAS GOING TO LEAD US, WE JUST KNEW WE HAD TO 29:54 MAKE A CHANGE AND START HONORING GOD ON SABBATH DAY. 29:58 >> HOW DID YOUR MEMBERS RECEIVE? >> WELL, THE MEMBERS, TO THEM, 30:03 IT WAS -- THEY -- THEY DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. 30:05 I JUST PREACHED WHAT I HAD LEARNED AND IT WAS COMING OUT OF 30:09 ME WITH PASSION, AND THEY RECEIVED IT BECAUSE -- HOW 30:15 PASSIONATE THEY FELT THAT -- THAT I WAS, BUT I TOLD 30:20 THEM THAT DAY, I SAID I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO UNDERSTAND WHAT I 30:24 UNDERSTAND RIGHT NOW. SO KATHY AND I ARE GOING TO 30:27 START HONORING THE SABBATH DAY. WE'RE GOING TO START MEETING, 30:32 HOLDING OUR SERVICES ON THE SABBATH DAY. 30:35 WE UNDERSTAND THAT YOU MAY NOT BE A PART OF THAT, OR YOU MAY 30:39 NOT WANT TO BE A PART OF THAT. WE JUST MORE OR LESS RELEASED 30:44 THEM IF THEY DIDN'T WANT TO CONTINUE. 30:46 IT WAS LIKE LAYING IT ALL DOWN, AND SAYING WE HAVE GOT TO START 30:51 OVER, BECAUSE WE FOUND SOMETHING WE HAD NEVER KNOWN BEFORE. 30:55 AND EVERY ONE OF THEM CAME TO ME AFTER THE SERVICE, AND GAVE A 30:59 VOICE OF SUPPORT, AND IT WASN'T BECAUSE THEY WERE CONVICT AS I 31:04 WAS, IT WAS BECAUSE THEY RESPECTED THE VISION AND THE 31:08 CALL ON -- ON MY LIFE THAT THEY COULD SEE. 31:11 >> UH-HUH. >> SO TO THEM, THE CONGREGATION 31:19 IT WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A SCHEDULE CHANGE. 31:23 >> UH-HUH. >> NOW IT'S NOT JUST A SCHEDULE 31:26 CHANGE. IT'S A LIFESTYLE. 31:28 >> AMEN. >> IT'S WHO WE ARE. 31:31 IT'S WHAT WE DO. WE WORSHIP ALL-MIGHTY GOD ON THE 31:41 SABBATH DAY, AND WE WILL NEVER GO BACK. 31:43 >> DID YOU LOSE ANY MEMBERS? >> I DID NOT, SHELLEY. 31:48 THEY ALL GAVE A VOICE OF SUPPORT, AND THEY ALL STAYED. 31:51 AS I SAID IT WAS MORE OF -- JUST A SCHEDULE CHANGE, BUT THEY 31:56 LOVED US SO VERY MUCH. >> UH-HUH. 31:58 >> AND SOME OF THOSE ARE STILL THERE FROM 2006. 32:01 THEY ARE STILL WITH US. SO WE HAVE NOT LAST ONE FAMILY 32:05 DUE TO -- TO THE SABBATH. SOME HAVE MOVED AND -- YOU KNOW, 32:12 MOVED ON, BUT NO ONE HAS LEFT OUR CONGREGATION BECAUSE OF A 32:16 CHANGE TO SABBATH, MATTER OF FACT, IT'S ACTUALLY -- WE HAVE 32:20 NEW MEMBERS BECAUSE OF OUR EMPHASIS ON WORSHIPPING ON 32:24 SABBATH DAY. >> WHAT ABOUT SOME OF THE OTHER 32:27 PASTORS IN THE AREA, WHO ARE YOUR FRIENDS? 32:30 HOW HAVE THEY RESPONDED TO YOU BECAUSE OF THE CHANGE? 32:33 >> THAT HAS BEEN A DIFFERENT STORY. 32:37 [ LAUGHTER ] >> THE CONGREGATION WERE FINE, 32:44 BUT PASTORS ARE CORDIAL TO ME, BUT SOME ARE DISAPPOINTED IN ME. 32:52 BECAUSE THEY DON'T SEE WHAT I SEE. 32:54 UNDERSTANDING THE SABBATH IS SOMETHING THAT IS TAUGHT. 32:57 YOU CATCH THIS FROM READING IT, AND THE SPIRIT REVEALS IT TO 33:00 YOU. >> YEAH. 33:02 >> AND UNTIL THE SPIRIT REVEALS THIS TO YO, IF YOU HAVE GOT 20, 33:07 30, 40 YEARS OF WORSHIPPING ON THE FIRST DAY AND YOU CAN'T 33:11 EXPLAIN WHY YOU DO IT, IT'S JUST ALWAYS THE WAY IT HAS BEEN DONE, 33:15 IT'S HARD TO -- TO -- TO JUST HEAR OF SOMEONE THAT -- LIKE 33:19 MYSELF THAT -- THAT HAD THIS REVELATION AND -- AND THEY CAN 33:23 JUST AUTOMATICALLY EMBRACE THAT. GOD HAS TO SHOW THEM, AND HE IS 33:27 SHOWING THEM. >> YES. 33:30 HOW HAS EMBRACING THE SABBATH CHANGED JUST YOUR -- YOUR 33:35 OUTLOOK ON LIFE? >> OH, MY. 33:37 HOW HAS THE SABBATH CHANGED MY OUTLOOK? 33:40 I AM NOT THE SAME PERSON THAT I WAS PRIOR TO 2006. 33:44 >> HOW SO? >> I'M JUST NOT THE SAME PERSON. 33:47 >> HOW SO? >> WELL, FIRST OF ALL, I 33:53 UNDERSTAND MAYBE FOR THE FIRST TIME WHAT IT MEANS TO HAVE THE 33:58 JOY OF MY SALVATION. >> YES. 34:01 >> WHEN THE SABBATH GETS IN YOU, AND THAT MESSAGE GETS IN YOU, 34:06 AND YOU READ IN THE SCRIPTURE, IT JUST COMES TO LIFE IN YOU, 34:09 WHEN YOU REALIZE THIS IS WHAT JESUS DID, THIS IS WHAT THEY DID 34:14 BEFORE JESUS CAME. THIS IS WHAT HE DID. 34:17 IT'S WHAT HE TAUGHT. IT WAS HIS CUSTOM. 34:20 IT'S WHAT THEY DID AFTER HE WAS BURIED AND RESRRECTED. 34:25 AND ONCE YOU SEE ALL OF THAT AND YOU UNDERSTAND THIS IS 34:28 JUST -- THIS IS GOD'S COMMANDMENT, IT'S HIS 34:32 COMMANDMENT TO HONOR HIM, AND HE SAID TO REMEMBER -- I'M TELLING 34:36 YOU LIKE YOU DON'T ALREADY KNOW. >> NO, I LOVE IT. 34:40 >> THIS IS FOR OUR VIEWERS. >> GO AHEAD. 34:43 >> TO REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY, AND KEEP IT HOLY. 34:47 >> YES. >> HE IS THE ONE THAT DECIDES 34:50 WHAT IS HOLY.

SO WE'RE ABLE TO PRINT THE 36:07 BOOKS, 120 PAGES, AND THEN BY ZIP CODES ALL ACROSS ALABAMA, 36:12 BUT WE CAN ONLY DO AS MANY BOOKS AS WE HAVE. 36:16 THERE IS PROBABLY AT LEAST A MILLION HALF HOMES. 36:19 SO WHAT I DID IS I TALKED TO SEVERAL INDIVIDUALS, AND THEY 36:24 SAID, WE WILL GIVE -- AND SO FAR IT'S $200,000 AS MATCHING FUNDS. 36:30 IF YOU CAN RAISE $200,000, THEN WE WILL MATCH THOSE FUNDS, AND I 36:35 KNOW THESE FOLK, AND THEY KEEP THEIR WORD. 36:38 SOME OF THEM HAVE DONE IT BEFORE. 36:40 SO WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU TONIGHT AS THE HOLY SPIRIT 36:44 IMPRESSES, AND YOU WANT TO SUPPORT THIS, YOU CAN CALL IN AT 36:50 618-627-4651. YOU CAN DO IT BY CREDIT CARD. 36:53 IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT, AND YOU PLAN ON SENDING SOMETHING, YOU 36:56 CAN CALL AND SAY, I'M GOING TO BE SENDING THIS, BECAUSE WE WANT 36:59 TO KNOW HOW MANY BOOKS CAN WE ORDER? 37:02 CAN WE ORDER ANOTHER HALF A MILLION? 37:05 BECAUSE WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY TO REACH PEOPLE IN YOUR GREAT 37:09 STATE, REGGIE, WHERE YOU ARE FROM. 37:11 AND MOLLIE SUE. SHE IS BACK IN ALABAMA. 37:13 I TALED TO HER TODAY. SHE IS VERY EXCITED. 37:18 YOU CAN CALL US OR REACH US AT 3ABN.TV, SO IF YOU GO TO 37:23 3ABN.TV, YOU ALSO CAN MAKE A COMMITMENT THERE. 37:24 SO I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO SOMETHING -- NOW 34 YEARS, WE 37:29 HAVE NEVER DONE BAG-A-THONS, AND I'M NOT GOING TO DO THAT 37:34 TONIGHT, BUT THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY, AND BECAUSE OF THE 37:38 TIME CONSTRAINT THAT WE HAVE TO GET THIS DONE. 37:40 MY DAD USED TO SAY, LET'S GET THEM WHILE THEY ARE HOT. 37:47 HE WAS TALKING ABOUT TOMATOES, WE USED TO PICK -- WE WERE 37:56 MIGRANT WORKERS. I MISSED THE FIRST SIX WEEKS OF 38:01 SCHOOL BECAUSE IT WOULD INTERVIEW WITH THE TOMATO 38:05 HARVEST. AND MY DAD WOULD SAY, BOYS LET'S 38:08 RISE AND SHINE AND GET THEM WHILE IT'S HOT. 38:12 WELL, WE WANT TO DO THIS WHILE IT IS HOT. 38:15 WHILE THE LAW IS BEING LIFTED UP FOR PEOPLE TO DECIDE -- AND THE 38:19 ONE PERSON SAID TO ME, THAT I MENTIONED EARLIER, WE DON'T WANT 38:23 ANY DEBATES -- I SAID WERE NOT GOING TO DEBATE YOU, WE'RE GOING 38:28 TO LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE. SO FOLKS THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY 38:31 THAT SO FAR IT IS A ONCE IN A LIFETIME OPPORTUNITY TO DO IT. 38:35 AND I'M SURPRISED THAT WE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT -- AND SO MANY 38:39 PEOPLE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT IT UNTIL NOW, SO WE WANT TO GET 38:42 THESE BOOKS. SO DWIGHT I CALLED YOU, AND 38:46 SO -- I WISH DWIGHT WOULD HAVE IMMEDIATELY SAID I HAVE GOT ALL 38:51 I NEEDED. BUT HE DIDN'T. 38:52 WHAT DID YOU SAY? >> WHEN YOU CALLED ME -- I KNEW 38:56 IT WAS A GOOD IDEA, BECAUSE AT REMNANT WE DO A LOT OF MAILINGS 39:03 FOR MILLIONS OF BOOKS. BUT RIGHT NOW THE PAPER INDUSTRY 39:08 IS IN UTTER CHAOS. IT'S HARD GETTING PAPER. 39:11 YOU CAN GET IT, BUT IT TAKES EIGHT TO 12 WEEKS BECAUSE A 39:21 COUPLE OF BIG PAPER COMPANIES WENT OUT OF BUSINESS. 39:24 AND SO WHEN YOU CALLED ME, THE FIRST THING -- OH, THAT'S GREAT, 39:30 DANNY, BUT I'M THINKING, OKAY, LORD, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO 39:34 HELP US FIND PAPER. BECAUSE WE JUST GOT A MILLION 39:38 GREAT CONTROVERSIES, AND IT TOOK EIGHT WEEKS FOR THAT, AND THAT 39:42 WAS A FEW MONTHS AGO, AND IT'S NOT GETTING BETTER RIGHT NOW. 39:46 AND I SAID, BUT I KNOW THIS IS GOD'S PLAN. 39:49 I REMEMBER WAY BACK WHEN WE FIRST PUBLISHED THE TEN 39:55 COMMANDMENT, WE PRINTED 10,000 WHEN WE STARTED, AND THAT 10,000 39:59 WAS JUST -- THE LORD SAYS IF YOU WORK IN ADDITION, I'LL WORK IN 40:06 MULTIPLICATION. SO UP TO 10-PLUS MILLION BOOKS. 40:10 AND BACK THEN, I REMEMBER WE HAD A PAPER PROBLEM. 40:13 THAT ONLY HAPPENS WHEN, I GUESS, WHEN WE NEED THIS MANY BOOKS. 40:20 IT'S KIND OF FUNNY -- DEB IS ALWAYS REMAINING ME, TELL DANNY 40:28 HE STILL OWES ME HALF OF A VACATION. 40:32 WE CUT OUR VACATION LIKE FIVE DAYS SHORT. 40:35 AND SHE NEVER FORGOT THAT. >> I WOULD RATHER OWE HER ALL OF 40:40 MY LIFE AS TO BEAT HER OUT OF IT. 40:42 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> SO LET HER KNOW THAT. 40:47 >> AND PEOPLE SAY DOES IT REALLY DO A GOOD THING WHEN YOU MASS 40:52 MAIL THESE? BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE IS GOING TO 40:56 READ? AND I SAY THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT 40:58 AREN'T GOING TO READ IT RIGHT NOW.-BUT WHEN YOU GET A BOOK IN THE 41:02 MAIL, IT'S PRETTY HAD TO THROW THAT BOOK AWAY. 41:05 BECAUSE IT COSTS SOMETHING. YOU LOOK AT THE BACK OF IT, IT'S 41:10 A 10, A $12 BOOK, SO THEY PUT IT ON THE SHELVE, AND PEOPLE HAVE 41:16 BEEN TAKING THINGS OFF OF THE SHELVES TO CHECK THINGS OUT, 41:20 BECAUSE WE'RE LIVING IN THE LAST-DAYS, AND WE HAVE HAD OTHER BOOKS THAT WE GET A CALL, AND 41:32 THE TEN COMMANDMENT BOOK THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME TO OUR 41:37 CHURCH BECAUSE OF THOSE BOOKS. AND THE LORD SAYS, YOU RECEIVE 41:40 NOT BECAUSE YOU ASK NOT. AND IT SAYS HE WILL NOT ALLOW 41:45 HIS WORD TO COME BACK VOID. OUR JOB IS TO GET THE BOOKS OUT. 41:49 AND I ALWAYS SAID THAT 3ABN ARE THE MOVERS AND SHAKERS. 41:54 IT'S THE 3ABN PEOPLE THAT DO SOMETHING. 41:57 IT'S NOT JUST OH, THAT'S A GREAT THING. 41:59 I HOPE IT WORKS OWL WELL FOR YOU, AND WE HAVE BEEN TOLD WE 42:06 HAVE TO MAKE A DECISION NEXT WEEK, IF WE GET THE FUNDS TO DO 42:11 A MILLION BOOKS -- >> BUT DID YOU COME UP WITH 42:14 PAPER? >> WELL, I CALLED MILL AFTER 42:17 MILL AFTER MILL, NOBODY HAS IT, BUT I FOUND ENOUGH PAPER ON THE 42:21 FLOOR OF A COMPANY -- A -- A BIG PRINTING COMPANY THAT WE HAVE 42:26 DONE SOME BOOKS WITH, BECAUSE WE PRINT THE BOOKS, BUT WHEN IT 42:31 COMES HUGE AMOUNTS, WE HAE TO GET HELP. 42:34 AND WE HAVE DONE WORK WITH THESE PEOPLE BEFORE, AND THEY HAD 42:40 ENOUGH, ENOUGH. GUESS FOR HOW MANY? 42:42 >> HALF A MILLION. >> HALF A MILLION BOOKS. 42:44 >> AMEN. >> WE HAVE CALLED ON OTHER 42:47 THINGS, AND I'M JUST TELLING YOU PAPER TAKES ANYWHERE FROM EIGHT 42:53 TO 12 WEEKS, AND THEN YOU HAVE TO GET THE JOB PRINTED. 42:57 WE DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME. THE PAPER MILLS SAID YOU'RE NOT 43:01 GOING TO FIND IT. NOBODY HAS IT. 43:05 AND WE HAVE CALLED OTHER MILLS, BY WHEN WE CALLED THIS COMPANY, 43:09 THEY SAID, WE MIGHT HAVE SOME. ANOTHER BIG COMPANY CANCELED AN 43:14 ORDER, SO WE HAVE ENOUGH FOR HALF A MILLION. 43:16 BUT THEY ALSO SAID THAT BECAUSE THIS -- THIS -- THIS COMPANY WAS 43:20 CANCELED, BUT THEY WAS GOING TO BE DOING ANOTHER AMOUNT FOR 43:26 ANOTHER HALF A MILLION THAT WOULD WORK FOR OUR BOOKS, THAT 43:29 IF WE LET THEM KNOW THIS WEEK, THEY WOULD BE READY TO GO BY THE 43:36 FIRST OF NOVEMBER. SO WE NEED TO KNOW RIGHT AWAY, 43:39 AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN INVEST IN A BETTER PLAN 43:43 THAN -- I MEAN HOW CAN YOU GET ANY BETTER THAN SHARING WITH -PEOPLE OF SOMETHING FROM ALABAMA 43:49 THAT THEY ARE GOING TO VOTE ON ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS? 43:54 WHY WOULD WE NOT WANT TO BE INVOLVED IN THAT? 43:57 >> RIGHT. RIGHT. 43:59 >> AND THAT'S THE MOTIVATION, WHEN YO WERE TALKING ABOUT 44:02 MAILING OUT AND DOES IT WORK? WELL, YES, WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE 44:06 WHO -- I MEAN, AFTER ALL OF THESE YEARS, PEOPLE WHO GOT IT 44:10 THE FIRST TIME AROUND WHO ARE CALLING IN AND SAYING, IT HAS 44:13 BEEN SITTING ON MY SHELF ALL THIS TIME, I FINALLY READ IT, 44:19 I'M GOING TO SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. 44:20 BUT RIGHT NOW IN ALABAMA, THE FOCUS IS ON GOD'S LAW, SO THAT 44:26 GIVES THEM THE EXTRA MOTIVATION FOR PEOPLE WHO MIHT JUST KIND 44:30 OF SEE ALL OF THE TIME THEY ARE SEEING THAT ADVERTISEMENT AND 44:33 IT'S KIND OF LIKE, WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL? 44:37 SUDDENLY YOU GET THE BOOK IN THE MAIL, AND IT'S LIKE GOD HAS GOT 44:42 YOU, YOU KNOW? BECAUSE YOU KNOW PEOPLE ARE 44:45 GETTING READY TO GO VOTE ON THIS. 44:48 SO NOW OUT OF CURIOSITY, YOU -START READING. I THINK THIS IS AN INCREDIBLE 44:54 TIME, AND I THINK WE'LL HAVE A MUCH HIGHER PERCENTAGE THAN IF 44:58 WE'RE DOING A REGULAR MAILING OF PEOPLE WHO ACTUALLY GET INTO THE 45:02 BOOK IMMEDIATELY. >> AND -- AND I THINK TOO -- AND 45:05 WE CAN MENTION THIS AGAIN, BUT WE GET MANY CALLS -- I KNOW YOU 45:10 HAVE GOT THEM TOO, BUT WE GET MANY CALLS, AND HAVE HAD MANY 45:17 PEOPLE THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES THAT SAY, YOU KNOW 45:19 WHAT, I CAN'T REALLY GET OUT, THAT -- I'M SO BUSY AT MY JOB, 45:24 OR I'M OLDER AND I JUST CAN'T GET OUT LIKE I WOULD LIKE TO, 45:30 BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS TAKE MY ZIP CODE -- IF YOU LET 45:34 ME KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE ARE IN MY AREA, MY ZIP CODE, I WOULD 45:38 LIKE TO DONATE MONEY THA I CAN GET THOSE BOOKS OUT IN MY AREA, 45:44 I WANT TO DO MY PART. SO OBVIOUSLY THE PEOPLE 45:47 LISTENING TONIGHT, THEY CAN FIGURE OUT, ALABAMA, OR IF YOU 45:50 ARE IN CALIFORNIA, OR MICHIGAN, OR NEW YORK, IT DOESN'T REALLY 45:55 MATTER, BECAUSE THIS ISN'T GOING TO END IN ALABAMA. 45:58 THIS WILL GO AROUND THE WORLD. SO SOMEBODY FROM CALIFORNIA CAN 46:03 SAY, HEY, PICK ME OUT A ZIP CODE, BECAUSE I WANT TO DONATE 46:08 SO MUCH MONEY FOR A ZIP COTE CODE. 46:11 SO YOU CAN ACTUALLY PICK A ZIP CODE OUT AND BE A PART OF THIS. 46:17 >> YEAH. >> YEAH. 46:19 >> PERSONAL MINISTRIES, DEPARTMENTS, AND CHURCHES CAN 46:22 ALSO USE THIS AS A PROJECT TO GET -- YOU KNOW, TO GET THE 46:26 GOSPEL OUT THROUGH THESE BOOKS. >> AMEN. 46:28 >> I MEAN THIS IS -- WHEN THE OPPORTUNITY COMES LIKE THIS, YOU 46:32 HAVE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE OPPORTUNITY. 46:36 >> YEAH. >> AND THAT'S WHAT -- THAT'S 46:38 WHAT THIS IS ABOUT. TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE 46:41 OPPORTUNITY. >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. 46:43 SO WHAT WE WOULD REALLY LIKE TO KNOW TONIGHT IS HOW MANY OF YOU 46:47 WILL JOIN WITH US, IT DOESN'T MAKE A DIFFERENCE IF YOU GIVEN 46:50 THE DOLLARS OR A HUNDRED THOUSAND, AND THAT'S GREAT, AND 46:54 SOMEBODY MAY LAUGH, BUT WE ALREADY HAVE A $200,000 46:58 COMMITMENT, AND THEY SAID YOU RAISE THE MATCHING FUNDS FROM 47:01 YOUR VIEWERS, AND WE WILL DO IT, SO, AGAIN, THE BOOK AND THE 47:06 SHIPPING TO ZIP CODES IS LESS THAN A DOLLAR APIECE. 47:12 IT'S UNDER A DOLLAR A PIECE. SO YOU ARE LOOKING AT HALF A 47:17 MILLION DOLLARS, BUT YOU ARE REACHING A MILLION AND A HALF 47:23 HOMES. A MILLION WOULD BE THE 3 47:25 MILLION, SO IT DEPENDS -- IT'S UP TO YOU, TO WHAT YOU WANT US 47:29 TO DO WITH THIS, BUT IF YOU CAN HELP US, WHY DON'T YOU CALL IN 47:36 TONIGHT, CALL IN 618-627-4651, YOU CAN EITHER PUT IT ON CREDIT, 47:40 PAYPAL HOWEVER YOU WANT TO DO IT, YOU CAN CALL OR GO TO 47:44 3ABN.TV, AND YOU CAN GIVE THAT WAY, IT SHOWS YOU HOW YOU CAN 47:49 GIVE. OR IF YOU WANT TO CALL AND SAY I 47:52 CAN'T DO THAT TONIGHT, I'LL SEND A CHECK. 47:56 JUST LET US KNOW, BECAUSE WE CAN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU. 48:00 WE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. BUT, AGAIN, PEOPLE THAT WATCH 48:05 3ABN, REGGIE, YOU ARE HERE, AND YOU DON'T COME VERY OFTEN. 48:09 WHAT YOU ARE HEARING ME DO RIGHT NOW, I RARELY HAVE DONE IN 34 48:14 YEARS, BUT BECAUSE OF OUR TIMING BEFORE WHEN WE FIRST DID IT, 48:19 YVONNE, WE ASKED CHURCHES TO ORDER THE BOOKS. 48:23 WE SAID YOU JUST PAY FOR THE SHIPPING COST. 48:27 THAT WAS GREAT, AND WE CAN STILL DO THAT A LITTLE LATER ON, BUT 48:33 RIGHT NOW, WE'RE UP AGAINST THIS NOVEMBER 6TH. 48:37 WE WANT THEM TO HAVE IT A WEEK BEFORE BECAUSE EVERYBODY IS 48:41 FOCUSED ON IT CLOSER YOU TO GET TO THIS ELECTION. 48:46 SO WE WANT EVERYBODY TO HAVE THESE BOOKS IN THEIR HANDS BY 48:49 THE END OF OCTOBER OR SO, SO IF THERE ARE SOME OF YOU WITH 48:54 CHURCHES, AND YOU SAY, HEY, WE CAN PASS OUT THESE BOOKS EVEN 48:59 AFTER THAT POINT, OR IF YOU HAVE TIME BETWEEN NOW AND THEN, WE'LL 49:03 BE HAPPY TO SEND THEM TO YOU, YOU TELL US HOW MANY YOU WANT, 49:08 YOU PAY THE SHIPPING, AND WE'LL SEND THOSE DO YOU. 49:13 BUT IF PEOPLE DONATE, WE CAN GIVE THE BOOKS AWAY. 49:17 WE WANT TO GIVE THESE BOOKS AWAY, BUT WE CAN'T DO IT UNLESS 49:22 PEOPLE DONATE THE MONEY TO DO IT. 49:24 SO REGGIE, THE FOLKS AT HOME ARE LOOKING AT YOU. 49:27 WHAT CAN YOU SAY TO ENCOURAGE THEM. 49:33 >> I WANT TO TELL YOU SOMETHING THAT YOU DON'T KNOW. 49:36 I JUST THOUGHT ABOUT SOMETHING WHY THIS IS GOING AROUND THE 49:39 WORLD. JUST THIS PAST WEEK, WITHIN THE 49:42 PAST SEVEN DAYS, I WAS WALKING INTO THE FRONT LOBBY OF OUR 49:50 SCHOOL. AND OUR SECRETARY WAS TALKING 49:54 WITH A GENTLEMEN. AND SHE SAID HERE HE IS NOW. 49:58 HE HAD COME TO SEE ME, AND I DIDN'T KNOW HE WAS COMING. 50:02 AND HE SAID THAT HE HAD A CALL FROM A GENTLEMEN IN AUSTRALIA 50:09 THAT WANTED TO TALK WITH ME BECAUSE HE HAD HEARD OF MY 50:16 TESTIMONY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENT AND THE SABBATH. 50:20 HE HAD SAW IT -- I THINK IT MUST HAVE BEEN ON 3ABN OR YOUTUBE, 50:25 BECAUSE IT IS ALL OVER, AND HE HAD JUST RECENTLY SAW THIS. 50:28 NOW THIS WAS 12 YEARS AGO THAT I UNDERSTOOD THIS. 50:32 >> YEAH. >> BUT GOD IS USING -- GOD IS 50:35 AWAKING PEOPLE. THIS -- THIS IS A STIRRING. 50:38 THIS IS AN AWAKENING THAT GOD IS DOING. 50:41 THIS IS A GOD THING, SHELLEY. >> AMEN. 50:44 >> AND THIS IS NOT A MAN'S THING. 50:47 THIS IS GOD. HE IS STIRRING THE HEART. 50:49 HE IS AWAKENING HIS CHURCH, AND AWAKENING PEOPLE TO HIS WORD, 50:56 HIS LAW, HIS COMMANDMENTS. AND I JUST THINK THIS IS THE 51:00 TIME FOR THE PEOPLE OF GOD TO RALLY, AND LET'S START IN 51:04 ALABAMA, AND LORD KNOWS WE NEED IT THERE, BUT THIS IS GOING TO 51:08 BE A RIPPLE EFFECT. >> IT IS. 51:10 >> THIS IS GOING TO BE LIKE A BUTTERFLY EFFECT. 51:13 AND IT WILL START IN ALABAMA BUT ROAR ACROSS THIS NATION AND 51:18 AROUND THE WORLD. GOD IS AWAKING PEOPLE AND THEY 51:22 NEED TO KNOW AOUT THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD. 51:24 >> AMEN. >> SO I'M JUST EXCITED TO BE 51:28 HERE. I'M EXCITED THAT GOD WOULD USE 51:31 ME IN ANY WAY AT ALL, TO GET THIS BEAUTIFUL MESSAGE OUT ABOUT 51:35 HIS WONDERFUL WORD. >> HE HAS USED YOU MIGHTILY. 51:39 SHELLEY? >> YEA, I WAS JUST THINKING 51:41 WHEN YOU WERE TALKING ABOUT -- YOU KNOW, HOW IT HAD 51:44 CHANGED YOUR LIFE. >> YES. 51:45 >> I THINK IF PEOPLE GROW UP AS ADVENTISTS, FOR MANY PEOPLE, THE 51:50 SABBATH IS JUST SOMETHING THAT IS NATURAL FOR THEM, IF THEY HAD 51:54 GROWN UP IN AN ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN HOME, BUT WHEN YOU 52:00 DISCOVER THIS TRUTH, I REMEMBER WHEN THE LORD LEAD ME TO THIS 52:04 TRUTH, IT WAS AMAZING. AND WHEN I REALIZED -- WOE, 52:10 THERE'S SOMETHING DIFFERENT HERE, BECAUSE THE COMMANDMENTS 52:12 ARE INSIDE THE ARC, AND THE LAW OF MOSES IN THE POCKET, AND THEN 52:18 I WENT AND REALLY STUDIED. LIKE YOU, I WAS TAUGHT THE 52:23 COMMANDMENTS WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS, BUT WHEN GOD SHOWED ME, 52:26 I'M TELLING YOU, I REMEMBER THE FIRST SABBATH DAY, J.D. WAS OUT 52:32 OF TOWN. I WAS ALL ALONE. 52:34 I WILL NEVER FORGET THAT DAY AS LONG AS I LIVE. 52:38 BECAUSE I REMEMBER WHEN THE SUN STARTED GOING DOWN, IT WAS LIKE, 52:42 I WAS WELCOMING THE LORD AND JUST PRAISING HIM, AND I 52:47 SPENT -- I DIDN'T HAVE A CHURCH TO GO TOO. 52:53 I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS YET. 52:58 BUT THE NEXT MORNING I GOT UP, AND PRAYED FOR A COUPLE OF 53:02 HOURS, I READ AND STUDIED. I WENT -- OUT AND TOOK A NATURE 53:13 WALK. IT WAS LIFE CHANGING -- 53:15 >> REFRESHING. >> AND I BELIEVE WHAT YOU SAID 53:19 THAT ONCE THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS OPENED YOUR EYES TO THAT -- AND 53:22 I PREACHED AGAINST IT. I HAD AN EIGHT-PAGE LETTER TO 53:26 TELL PEOPLE WHY YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO KEEP THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH. 53:37 >> SHELLEY. >> I DID. 53:41 I DIDN'T UNDERSTAND THE EVER-LASTING COVENANT, AND ONCE 53:45 I DID, I JUST GOT PRICKED IN MY HEART TO THINK IS THE SABBATH 53:50 STILL AS SPECIAL AS IT WAS TO ME THAT FIRST DAY. 53:54 BUT IT'S A BEAUTIFUL TRUTH. IT'S A LIFE-CHANGING TRUTH, AND 53:58 ONCE GOD OPENS YOUR EYES TO THAT, IT'S LIKE HE JUST TAKES 54:03 THE VEIL OFF AND ALL OF HIS TRUTHS START COMING IN. 54:06 >> THAT IS SO TRUE. >> AMEN. 54:09 >> HOW MANY OTHER PASTOR REGGIE WHIDDONS ARE THERE. 54:13 WHO WANT TO KNOW TRUTH, BUT THEY ARE COMFORTABLE IN TRADITION 54:18 UNTIL THE HOLY SPIRIT OPENS THEIR EYES THROUGH READING, 54:21 THROUGH -- YOU KNOW? >> YEAH. 54:23 >> HE -- HE OPENED YOUR EYES. >> YES. 54:25 >> AND THERE ARE OTHER PASTORS OUT THERE, I'M SURE, WHO NEED TO 54:30 KNOW THIS TRUTH, WHO -- ONCE THEY SEE IT, THE HOLY SPIRIT 54:35 WILL PRICK THEIR CONSCIOUSNESS AS WELL, THEY WILL RECEIVE THE 54:41 SABBATH. >> CAN I SAY SOMETHING? 54:44 >> YES. >> AND HOW MANY SWEET LITTLE 54:47 WIVES WILL GET THIS IN THE MAIL AND SAY YOU NEED TO READ THIS. 54:52 [ LAUGHTER ] >> BECAUSE SOMETIMES I THINK IT 54:54 TAKES PASTORS A LITTLE BIT LONGER TO COME AROUND. 54:58 >> IT DID ME. >> THINK WE CAN SAFELY SAY THERE 55:07 HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS THAT JOINED THE CHURCH. 55:09 AND YOU SAID YOU HAD A LOT OF NAMES -- 55:12 >> I HAD OVER 30 AT THE TIME. >> YEAH, 30-SOME-ODD PASTORS WHO 55:18 WERE SUNDAY PASTORS LIKE YOU WHO ACCEPTED IT THROUGH READING THIS 55:24 BOOK. YOU WERE TELLING ME JOHN 55:27 DINZEYER -- >> THE LATINO VERSE. 55:34 HE IS MEETING PASTORS WHO ARE NOW SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST 55:38 PASTORS, AND IT WAS BECAUSE THEY READ THE TEN COMMANDMENTS TWICE 55:52 REMOVED. >> YES. 55:52 LIKE I SAID, I'M SO GLAD I DIDN'T DIE, SO I COULD BE 55:57 SITTING HERE TONIGHT. SO IT'S UP TO YOU TONIGHT, HOW 56:00 MANY PEOPLE DO YOU WANT TO REACH IN ALABAMA? 56:04 AND THOSE OF YOU AS DWIGHT SAID, IF YOU WANT TO ORDER BOOKS, AND 56:08 IT MAY BE A FEW MORE WEEKS, BECAUSE WE'RE ON A TIME 56:12 SCHEDULE, BUT WHAT WE DID BEFORE, WAS HE SAID, WE'LL SEND 56:18 YOU THE BOOK FREE IF YOU WILL PAY THE SHIPPING, AND THE 56:22 SHIPPING WASN'T THAT MUCH. I WAS SURPRISED, DWIGHT, 56:27 HOW -- MAYBE BEFORE THE PROGRAM IS OVER, YOU CAN GIVE US AN IDEA 56:32 OF WHAT THAT MIGHT BE FOR 500 BOOKS, BUT IT'S NOT THAT MUCH, 56:38 BECAUSE YOU GET FLAT RATES THAT YOU SEND ALL OVER THE COUNTRY. 56:47 SO PLEASE CALL IN, CALL 618-627-4651, OR GO TO 3ABN.TV, 56:51 AND LET US KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO SUPPORT -- GO AHEAD AND GIVE, 56:56 THEY WILL HELP YOU -- TELL YOU HOW YOU CAN DO IT. 56:58 AND WE ALSO WANT TO SHIP |
