YOU HAVE POTENTIALLY MILLIONS OF 01:40 VIEWERS -- >> OH, DON'T MAKE ME NERVOUS. 01:43 >> I KNOW THIS WOMAN. SHE HAS SOMETHING ON HER MIND 01:46 THAT IS ALWAYS GOOD. >> OH, PRAISE THE LORD. 01:50 WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT GOD AND THE LAW OF GOD, THE OLDER I GET, I 01:54 REALIZE IT'S PROTECTIVE. IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE HAVE TO 01:58 STOP US FROM DOING THINGS, RATHER IT'S AN ABOUT OF LOVE ON 02:03 GOD'S PART TO GIVE US THESE THINGS TO PROTECT US FROM WHAT 02:06 COULD HAPPEN TO US. >> ABSOLUTELY. 02:08 >> SO I'M JUST -- >> SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE 02:11 LAW OF GOD. >> WE ARE. 02:13 >> WOULD YOU INTRODUCE OUR FAMILY? 02:15 >> I ABSOLUTELY WILL. WE HAVE PASTOR JOHN LOMACANG, 02:18 WHO IS OUR PASTOR, AND ALSO THE DIRECTOR OF -- OF WORLD 02:25 EVANGELISM. SEE WHENEVER YOU ASK ME TO DO 02:27 THIS, I MESS UP. >> YOU ARE DOING GOOD. 02:30 >> AND THEN WE HAVE OUR DEAR SHELLEY QUINN, AND SHE 02:33 HAS -- I'M GOING TO MESS UP HER TITLE TOO. 02:38 >> SHE HAS MANY TITLES. NOT ONLY PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT, 02:41 BUT YOU NAME IT, SHE DOES IT. >> SHE DOES. 02:44 AND SHE IS A WONDERFUL STUDENT OF THE WORD. 02:47 >> OKAY. >> WE'RE REALLY HAPPY TO HAVE 02:49 HER AS WELL. AND WE HAVE JOHN DINZEY, WHO IS 02:52 THE GENERAL MANAGER FOR 3ABN LATINO [ SPEAKING SPANISH ] 02:59 . >> OKAY. 03:00 >> SO GLAD EACH OF YOU -- BECAUSE THEY -- THEY ALL 03:04 CONTRIBUTE SO MUCH AS WE TALK ABOUT THE WORD. 03:07 IT'S A BLESSING. SO I'M EXCITED BECAUSE WHEN WE 03:10 OPEN THE WORD IT'S EXCITING, BECAUSE YOU ALWAYS GET SOMETHING 03:13 FROM IT. >> TO ME IT'S SUCH A BLESSING, 03:17 BECAUSE WE SEE MORE AND MORE THE WORLD IS FOCUSED AND THE LAW OF 03:22 GOD IS BECOMING THE CENTER OF THE FOCUS. 03:24 THE LAW OF GOD IS BEING LIFTED UP. 03:27 NOW WE HAVE BEEN TALKING TO YOU THE LAST TWO OR THREE WEEKS 03:31 ABOUT ALABMA. THE VOTE IN ALABAMA -- AN 03:34 AMENDMENT TO THEIR CONSTITUTION TO BRING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS 03:37 BACK INTO THE SCHOOL SYSTEM, THE GOVERNMENT -- REMEMBER JUDGE ROY 03:42 MOORE, THEY VOTED TO GET RID OF THEM, AND NOW THERE'S AN 03:46 AMENDMENT, A DAN NAMED DEAN YOUNG HAS WORKED 17 03:50 YEARS -- WE'LL SHOW THAT IN A FEW MINUTES. 03:53 WE'RE NOT TELLING YOU ALL HOW TO VOTE. 03:57 BUT WHAT IS AMAZING THERE IS GOING TO BE A VOTE NOVEMBER 6TH, 04:01 AND ACCORDING TO HIM, THEY HAVE DONE SURVEYS WITH PEOPLE, POLLS, 04:05 AND 70% OF THE PEOPLE POLLED SAID WE WANT TO VOTE YES TO PUT 04:10 THEM BACK IN THE CONSTITUTION. WELL WE KNOW AS SEVENTH-DAY 04:16 ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS, WE DON'T JUMP ON EVERYTHING THAT COMES -ALONG, YOU HAVE TO REALLY LOOK 04:21 IT OVER, SO WE'RE NOT TELLING YOU HOW TO VOTE, AND WE HAVE TO 04:26 REMEMBER THERE'S A BALANCE OF THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND 04:30 STATE, BUT WHAT IS EXCITING ABOUT THIS IS THE FACT -- NOT 04:36 ONLY IS IT HAPPENING IN ALABAMA, WHEN THIS VOTE IS OVER, IT WILL 04:41 GO ACROSS THE UNITED STATES. AND THE LAW OF GOD, THE TEN 04:44 COMMANDMENTS IS GOING TO BE LIFTED UP, INCLUDING THE 4TH 04:50 COMMANDMENT, THE SABBATH. AND THEN -- RECENTLY IN THE 04:55 NEWS, I THINK IT'S ANDY STANLEY, IS IT, PASTOR? 05:00 THAT HAS A 33,000 MEMBER CHURCH, AND HAS MADE PUBLIC STATEMENTS 05:04 THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE DONE AWAY WITH, ALL OF THEM, YOU 05:08 DON'T HAVE TO KEEP ANY OF THEM ANYMORE. 05:10 >> WOW. >> AND THEN YOU HAVE A BUNCH OF 05:15 THOSE EVANGELICALS WHO ARE SAYS THAT'S NOT TRUE. 05:20 SO ALL OF A SUDDEN, THERE'S FOCUS EVERYWHERE ON THE TEN 05:25 COMMANDMENTS. I DON'T THINK THAT'S AN 05:26 ACCIDENT. >> NO, I DON'T EITHER. 05:28 >> ON THE LAW OF GOD, RIGHT? >> YOU KNOW, YOU LOOK AT WHAT IS 05:32 GOING ON IN THE WORLD, AND IT'S PROPHECIES BEING FULFILLED 05:37 BEFORE OUR VERY EYES. IT'S AMAZING TO ME TO LIVE AT 05:41 THIS TIME IN EARTH'S HISTORY. IT IS AMAZING TO BE ALIVE AND TO 05:44 BE A PART OF BRINGING THE GOSPEL TO THE WORLD BEFORE JESUS COMES. 05:49 WHAT A PRIVILEGE. >> DON'T WE'RE GOING TO DO A 05:52 LITTLE BIBLE STUDY. WE WANT YOU TO CALL IN YOUR 05:55 QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS, AND KEEP THEM TO THE LAW OF GOD. 05:58 ARE THEY STILL VALID? ARE THEY NOT? 06:01 HOW MANY OF THEM ARE? IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE 06:05 NEW OR OLD COVENANT. WE MET FOR A TOTAL OF MAYBE TEN 06:10 MINUTES, NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THOR IS GOING TO SAY TONIGHT. 06:12 [ LAUGHTER ] >> WE'RE LETTING THE HOLY SPIRIT 06:16 LEAD, GUIDE AND DIRECT ON THIS. BUT IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS AND 06:20 COMMENTS, YOU CALL IN, AND AS WE GET THEM, WE HAVE THESE FOLKS 06:25 OVER HERE ON THE HOT SEAT. WE'LL TRY TO ANSWER THESE 06:28 QUESTIONS FROM THE BIBLE. SO TONIGHT WE NEED TO KNOW. 06:30 IF WE'RE A CHRISTIAN A EVEN THINKING ABOUT BEING ONE, MAYBE 06:35 YOU ARE WATCHING AND YOU ARE NO LONGER A CHRISTIAN, BUT WE NEED 06:39 TO THINK ABOT THE TIMES IN WHICH WE'RE LIVING ABOUT THE LAW 06:42 OF GOD, SO WE WANT TO FIND OUT IS IT STILL VALID TODAY? 06:47 IF IT IS, ARE WE KEEPING IT? IF NOT, WHY ARE WE TRYING TO 06:52 KEEP IT. THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT 06:54 PROGRAM. >> I'M EXCITED ABOUT IT. 06:57 >> IT IS. BUT WE WANT TO DO TWO THINGS. 07:00 WE WANT TO HAVE A PRAYER. BECAUSE WE'RE PRAYING THAT THE 07:05 HOLY SPIRIT WILL LEAD, GUIDE AND DIRECT. 07:08 AND EVERYBODY WATCHING THIS PROGRAM, YOU ARE NOT DOING IT BY 07:12 ACCIDENT. THIS IS DIVINE PROVIDENCE. 07:13 YOU ARE WATCHING TONIGHT, SOME OF YOU -- MAYBE YOU ARE IN THE 07:19 VALLEY OF DECISION ABOUT SERVING THE LORD. 07:22 OTHERS DO I KEEP ALL TEN COMMANDMENTS, AND OTHERS WHO ARE 07:30 CHRISTIANS, YOU ARE REALLY NOT FOCUSED ON THE COMMANDMENTS AT 07:36 ALL. YOU GOT SIDETRACKED IN YOUR 07:38 RELATIONSHIP WITH THE LORD. AND AS CHRISTIANS, MORE THAN 07:41 EVER BEFORE, WE SHOULD HAVE OUR EYES UPON JESUS. 07:46 LOOK FULL INTO HIS WONDERFUL FACE AND THE THINGS ON EARTH 07:51 WILL GROW STRANGELY DIM IN TH LIGHT OF CHRIST AND HIS GRACE. 07:56 SO SISTER SHELLEY, IF YOU WILL SAY A PRAYER FOR US. 08:00 WE WANT YOU TO GET YOUR BIBLES OUT, YOUR PHONES, iPADS, 08:05 WHATEVER, AND GO TO THAT. WE'RE GOING TO ASK YOU TO PRAY 08:09 FOR US, AND THEN JULIE GOSS IS SINGING "JESUS WE CROWN YOU WITH 08:16 PRAISE". AND THAT'S REALLY WHAT IT IS ALL 08:18 ABOUT TONIGHT. WHAT A PRIVILEGE TO GIVE HONOR, 08:22 GLORY AND PRAISE TO OUR HOLY FATHER. 08:26 >> AMEN. >> SISTER SHELLEY. 08:28 >> WE THANK YOU, FATHER THAT YOU ARE A COVENANT-MAKING, 08:33 COVENANT-KEEPING GOD. AND LORD, I PRAY IN THE NAME OF 08:37 JESUS THAT TONIGHT WE JUST ACKNOWLEDGE OUR TOTAL 08:40 INDEPENDENCE -- DEPENDANCE ON YOU, AND WE ASK THAT YOUR HOLY 08:49 SPIRIT WOULD GUIDE AND DIRECT THE CONVERSATION, LEAD US TO THE 08:53 SCRIPTURES THAT YOU WANT US TO HIGHLIGHT. 08:55 AND FATHER, I ASK IN THE NAME OF JESUS, GET US OUT OF THE WAY, 09:00 AND LET YOUR HOLY SPIRIT BE OUR TEACHER. 09:03 I PRAY, FATHER, WE PRAY, FOR ALL WHO ARE LISTENING TO OUR VOICES 09:12 TONIGHT THAT YOUR TRUTH WILL RING WITH CLARITY. 09:15 >> YES. >> THAT'S RIGHT. 09:16 >> AND LORD, THAT MANY PEOPLE WILL MAKE A DECISION TO FOLLOW 09:21 YOU. LORD, PLEASE BLESS THOSE WHO ARE 09:24 WATCHING OR LISTENING, THOSE WHO ARE FEELING DOWN AND DEPRESSED, 09:30 THAT THEY MAY KNOW, YOU ARE A LOVING GOD. 09:32 >> YES. >> THAT YOU WANT TO DO GOOD TO 09:37 THEM WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, WITH ALL OF YOUR SOUL, FATHER. 09:41 SO WE ASK IN JESUS NAME FOR YOUR PRESENCE HERE, AND WE THANK YOU 09:47 IN ADVANCE AND ANSWER TO THE PRAYER OF FAITH. 09:50 >> YES. >> AMEN. 09:51 >> AMEN. >> LET'S GO TO JULIE GOSS 09:56 SINGING "JESUS, WE CROWN YOU WITH PRAISE." 14:11 [ APPLAUSE ] 14:18 >> PRAISE THE LORD. THAT'S LIKE A TWO-HANDER, ISN'T 14:25 IT? >> THAT'S A FOUR HANDER. 14:26 >> WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SONG. JULIE GOSS THE DAUGHTER-IN-LAW 14:30 OF THE GREAT LARRY GOSS. THANK YOU SO MUCH, JULIE. 14:39 SHE CAME UP TO CAMP MEETING AND BLESSED US WITH HER TALENT AND 14:44 HER MUSIC. AND ALSO A WONDERFUL HUMBLE 14:48 PERSON, RIGHT, JOHN? >> OH, YEAH, WHEN YOU MEET HER 14:51 SHE IS SO SOFT-SPOKEN AND WHEN SHE OPENS HER MOUTH THE GLORY OF 14:59 GOTH COMES FORTH. YEAH, WHAT A SPIRIT. 15:03 >> AND THAT'S WHY WE ASK THEM HERE, WHEN WE SEE PEOPLE WHO 15:06 LOVE THE LORD, AND THEY ARE OPEN, AND THEY ARE HUMBLE, AND 15:09 HEY, WE -- THERE'S AN EXCITING WORK TO DO, AND THERE'S ENOUGH 15:13 WORK FOR EVERYBODY. >> YES. 15:15 >> AND JOHN, WE WANT TO TALK A LITTLE BIT, AND WE'RE GOING TO 15:19 START IN -- WE WANT YOU AGAIN TO CALL IN YOUR QUESTIONS AND 15:23 COMMENTS ABOUT THE LAW OF GOD. AND PEOPLE SAY WHY TO 15:28 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS FOR INSTANCE, MAKE SUCH A BIG DEAL 15:31 OVER THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, ESPECIALLY THE FOURTH 15:36 COMMANDMENT. >> THE FOURTH 15:38 COMMANDMENT -- LET'S FOCUS ON THAT FOR A MOMENT. 15:41 BECAUSE REALLY THERE IS NO ISSUE OVER THOU SHALL NOT KILL, AND 15:56 OTHERS, YOU CAN'T FIND A PASTOR THAT WOULD SUPPORT THAT. 16:00 BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT. 16:06 THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE SABBATH OF THE LORD, YOUR GOD. 16:10 NOW FOLLOW THIS. SATAN SAID I WILL BE LIKE THE 16:15 MOST HIGH. WHAT BETTER WAY TO ATTEMPT TO 16:20 REPLACE ALLEGIANCE TO GOD THAN TO CHANGE THE FOCAL POINT FROM 16:24 GOD'S DAY TO A DAY THAT HAS NO ASSOCIATION WITH GOD AT ALL. 16:31 THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT SAYS THE SEVENTH DAY IS THE DAY OF YOUR 16:37 GOD. SO IT REALLY IS ABOUT WHO IS 16:39 YOUR GOD. WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT, IN 16:41 BABYLON THAT WAS THE ISSUE. THE HEBREWS SAID WE WILL NOT BOW 16:46 DOWN TO OUR GOD, NOR SERVE HIM. SO IT'S ALWAYS ABOUT WHO IS YOUR 16:51 GOD. SO CHRISTIANS TODAY HAVE BEEN 16:53 GIFTED THROUGH THE DARK AGES A NEW DAY THAT HAS NO INCEPTION 16:59 FROM THE LIPS OF GOD. GOD DIDN'T SAY REMEMBER THE 17:05 FIRST DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY SABBATH. 17:07 SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE BIBLE -- BECAUSE PEOPLE SAY HOW 17:10 DO YOU KNOW IT'S THE SABBATH. YOU HAVE SIX DAYS OF CREATION 17:14 THAT ARE REITERATED AROUND THE CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST. 17:20 HE ROSE ON THE FIRST DAY, AND EVERY YEAR CHRISTIANS ALL OVER 17:23 THE WORLD HONORE EASTER, WHICH IS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. 17:35 SO WHY DO WE HAVE A SEVEN-DAY WEEK? 17:38 NOW TO GET RID OF THE SABBATH IS TO MAKE THE WEEK A SIX-DAY WEEK. 17:43 AND BY THE WAY, SUN, MOON AND STARS, YOU CAN MAKE THE 24-HOUR 17:49 DAY FROM SUNRISE TO SUNRISE. THE FOUR SEASONS, YOU GET 365 17:55 DAYS ONE YEAR. BUT THE ONLY PLACE YOU FIND 17:59 SEVEN DAYS IS IN THE BIBLE. NO ASTRONOMICAL VERIFICATION OF 18:07 SEVEN DAYS OF THE WEEK. IT IS ONLY FOUND IN THE BIBLE. 18:12 SO THE BIBLE IS VALID BECAUSE WE HAVE A SEVEN-DAY WEEK. 18:15 THE LAST ONE IS THE SIGN BETWEEN GOD AND HIS PEOPLE. 18:20 SO TODAY THE REASON WHY 3ABN -- I GO BACK TO THIS. 18:25 THE REASON WHY 3ABN CLAIMS TO PROCLAIM AN UNDILUTED MESSAGE, 18:33 IS BECAUSE THE MESSAGE HAS TO REMAIN URGENT. 18:36 IT HAS TO BE UNDILUTED, SO TONIGHT AS YU LISTEN TO THE 18:40 PROGRAM, PLEASE DON'T GET THE IDEA THAT ANY OF US ARE HARPING 18:45 ON ANYBODY'S RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE, THAT'S NOT WHAT 18:49 WE'RE HERE FOR. BUT DAVID SAID IT IS TIME FOR 18:52 YOU TO WORK, OH LORD, FOR THEY HAVE MADE VOID YOUR LAW. 18:57 DAVID MADE THAT STATEMENT THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO. 19:00 IT IS GOING TO BE MADE VOID IN THE LAND THAT BOASTS RELIGIOUS 19:07 LIBERTY. IMMORALITY HAS GONE RAMPANT. 19:10 AND NOW WE HAVE THIS PUSH IN ALABAMA, GETTING BACK TO THE 19:14 ISSUE AT HAND TO BRING THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD BACK. 19:18 AND JEREMIAH SAID YOU SOW THE WIND, YOU REAP THE WHIRLWIND. 19:26 GOD HAS THE TIMING. THE TIMING OF IT -- THE MESSAGE 19:30 OF THE SABBATH IS TO RISE UP OUT OF ALL OF THESE COMMANDMENTS, -AND RIGHT NOW AS YOU NOTICE IN 19:39 THE ARTICLE, THERE IS AN ARGUMENT, WHAT IS IT 19:46 ANDY -- ANDY STANLEY. WHO IS CHARLES STANLEY'S SON, 19:50 RIGHT NOW THERE IS A CONTROVERSY WHERE THE THEY SAID THE LAW HAS 20:02 BEEN DONE AWAY WITH. IF THERE IS NO SAVIOR, THEN WE 20:06 DON'T HAVE A JOB. >> YOU DON'T NEED A CHURCH OR 20:09 PASTORS -- >> SO YOU ARE PREACHING FOR 20:11 PEOPLE TO BE SAVED FROM SIN. HOW CAN THERE BE SIN IF THERE'S 20:15 NO LAW. SO RIGHT NOW THE PURPOSE OF THIS 20:18 PROGRAM IS NOT TO TALK ABOUT THE ELECTED RESULT THAT COULD OCCUR 20:23 IN ALABAMA, BUT TO GIVE PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE 20:28 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD IN THE PROPER LIGHT. 20:30 AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO TONIGHT. 20:33 PUT IT IN THE PROPER LIGHT. BECAUSE WHEN YOU SEE IT THE WAY 20:36 GOD HAS ESTABLISHED IT TO BE SEEN, THEN HIS PEOPLE CAN COME 20:42 OUT OF DARKNESS INTO THIS MARVELOUS LIGHT. 20:46 >> I WANT JOHNNY AND SHELLEY TO MAKE SOME COMMENTS, THEN WE'LL 20:52 PUT ON THIS VIDEO FROM DEAN YOUNG. 20:57 SHELLEY GIVE US YOUR COMMENTS SO FAR. 20:59 >> WELL, MY FIRST THOUGHT IS IN RUSSIA AND A COUPLE OF OTHER 21:04 PLACES IN EUROPE, THEY TRIED TO CHANGE THE WEEK TO A TEN-DAY 21:09 WEEK, RATHER THAN A SEVEN-DAY WEEK. 21:13 >> FRANCE ALSO DID THAT. >> FRANCE, YES, THAT'S THE OTHER 21:16 PLACE. AND IT WAS TOTALLY UNSUCCESSFUL, 21:22 AND WHAT -- SCIENTISTS AND DOCTORS AND PEOPLE WHO STUDY 21:28 PHYSIOLOGY LEARNED IS THAT THE OPTIMUM TIME FOR A WEEK IS SEVEN 21:33 DAYS. AND THAT YOU HAVE TO HAVE A DAY 21:35 OF REST. >> OKAY. 21:36 >> BECAUSE BEYOND THAT, PEOPLE JUST -- THEIR PRODUCTIVITY WAS 21:40 GOING DOWN -- I MEAN IT JUST PLUMMETED. 21:44 >> UH-HUH. >> SO TO ME THAT'S JUST ANOTHER 21:47 SIGN THAT GOD IS OUR CREATOR, HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT WE NEEDED, AND 21:53 IN A MOMENT AFTER WE GET ROLLING HERE, I'LL SHARE HOW GOD BROUGHT 21:58 ME OUT -- I USED TO PREACH AGAINST THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 22:02 >> OH, SHELLEY. >> YES. 22:04 THAT WAS BEFORE GOD GOT A HOLD OF ME, BUT THAT'S HOW I WAS 22:09 BROUGHT UP WAS THAT THE COMMANDMENTS HAD BEEN NAILED TO 22:12 THE CROSS, AND IT'S SOMETHING THAT I JUST WANT TO SAY TO YOU 22:15 OUT THERE -- BECAUSE SOMETIMES PEOPLE SAY, WHY DO YOU TALK 22:18 ABOUT THE SABBATH SO MUCH? IT IS SUCH A BLESSING. 22:23 AND THE APOSTLE JAMES TELLS US WHEN WE'RE THINKING OF THE LAW 22:27 OF GOD, IT IS LIKE A TEN-LINK CHAIN. 22:31 YOU BREAK ONE LINK, AND THEY ARE ALL BROKEN. 22:34 >> UH-HUH. >> SO TO ME THE SABBATH IS JUST 22:39 ONE OF GOD'S GREATEST GIFTS. -- EXODUS 31:13 SAYS IT IS A 22:52 SIGN TO US. >> JOHNNY? 22:54 >> WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THE COMMANDMENTS THERE HAS 22:57 BEEN -- FROM THE SIDE OF THE DEVIL A COORDINATED ATTACK -- 23:02 >> EFFORT. >> -- ATTACK TO TRY TO TAKE FROM 23:05 PEOPLE THE VIEW OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS. 23:07 HE HAS COME UP WITH DIFFERENT THINGS, INCLUDING THE WEEKLY 23:13 CYCLE. GOD HAS MADE IT HIS PURPOSE TO 23:15 PRESERVE THE WEEKLY CYCLE, BECAUSE THERE IS NO 23:22 SCIENTIFIC -- LIKE PASTOR JOHN WAS SAYING, NO SCIENTIFIC REASON 23:26 FOR THE WEEKLY CYCLE TO EXIST. IT GOES BACK TO THE CREATION 23:30 THAT GOD CREATED THE HEAVENS AND EARTH IN SIX DAYS, AND RESTED ON 23:38 THE SEVENTH DAY. BUT STILL IT SEEMS LIKE 23:42 CALENDARS ARE COMING OUT THAT START WITH SUNDAY, WHEN 23:46 THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAS BEEN SUNDAY ALWAYS AT THE FIRST DAY 23:50 OF THE WEEK AND ENDING WITH SATURDAY WHICH WE RECOGNIZE AS 23:58 THE SABBATH DAY. SO CALENDARS HAVE BEEN COMING 24:01 OUT FOR YEARS, AND ONE OF THOSE PLACES WAS GERMANY, AND I 24:04 HAPPENED TO HAVE LEARNED A LITTLE BIT OF GERMAN, AND 24:07 TALKING TO THE GERMAN BRETHREN OVER THERE, I SAID WHAT DO YOU 24:12 DO? BECAUSE OVER THERE THE CALENDAR 24:14 STARTED COMING OUT WITH SUNDAY -- 24:16 >> MONDAY. >> THANK YOU. 24:18 MONDAY AS THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK, AND PLACING SUNDAY AS THE 24:24 SEVENTH DAY POSITION. AND I SAID WHAT DO YOU DO? 24:31 AND HE SAID THE GERMAN LANGUAGE FOR WEDNESDAY IS THE MIDDLE OF 24:36 THE WEEK. SO IT ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT 24:40 SATURDAY IS THE SEVENTH DAY, WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THE DAYS OF 24:44 THE WEEK ARE NAMED THIS WAY, WITH WEDNESDAY CALLED MIDDLE OF 24:50 THE WEEK. BUT FOR YEARS, YOU CAN -- YOU 24:52 CAN TRACE BACK -- AND IT'S INTERESTING, DANNY, THAT IN 24:57 OVER -- I THINK IT'S OVER 5,000 DIALECTS AND LANGUAGES -- AS I 25:04 GET OLDER, I FORGET NUMERS -- >> YEAH, SURE. 25:08 [ LAUGHTER ] >> AT LEAST OVER 500 LANGUAGES, 25:11 SATURDAY IS NAMED SABBATH OR DAY OF REST. 25:14 AND SO FOR -- FOR US THAT SPEAK SPANISH, IT'S VERY SIMPLE TO GO 25:20 TO LUKE 4:16 WHERE IT SAYS JESUS AS CUSTOM WENT INTO THE 25:26 SYNAGOGUE ON SATURDAY AND SENT TO CHURCH. 25:30 SO FOR US IN SPANISH -- WHEN YOU READ IT IN THE ENGLISH-SPEAKING 25:35 BIBLE, SABBATH -- YOU SAY WHAT DAY OF THE WEEK IS THAT? 25:40 THEY DON'T KNOW. BUT IN SPANISH IT'S [ SPEAKING 25:45 SPANISH ] WHICH MEANS SATURDAY. 25:50 INCLUDING RUSSIAN AND MANY OTHER LANGUAGES AS WELL. 25:53 EVEN PORTUGUESE. ALL OF THE DAYS OF THE WEEK ARE 25:57 NAMED FIRST DAY, SECOND DAY, THIRD DAY, FOURTH DAY, AND WHEN 26:01 YOU GET TO SATURDAY IT MEANS DAY OF REST. 26:04 >> THAT'S AMAZING. SO TONIGHT WHAT WE'RE 26:06 DOING -- THIS ACTUALLY IS A CALL -- IT'S A WAKE-UP CALL TO 26:11 THOSE WHO ARE ASLEEP. WE'RE CALING ALL CHRISTIANS, 26:14 BUT SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIANS, THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN 26:17 ALL OF THE COMMANDMENTS, INCLUDING THE SEVENTH DAY 26:21 SABBATH, RIGHT NOW, YVONNE, I CAN'T TELL YOU WHEN -- IN FACT 26:25 THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I KNOW OF IN MY LIFE, I THINK IN THE 26:30 HISTORY OF AMERICA THAT SUCH AN AMENDMENT IS COMING 26:33 BEFORE -- YOU KNOW, TO BE ADDED TO THE CONSTITUTION THERE IN 26:38 ALABAMA THAT IS BRINGING, LITERALLY VOTING ON THE 26:42 COMMANDMENTS OF GOD, AND SO I TALKED TO A MAN NAMED DEAN 26:46 YOUNG, AND HE GAVE US PERMISSION TO USE THIS VIDEO, AND WE HAVE 26:50 IT. AND I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO IT, 26:52 THEN I'M GOING TO TELL YOU WHAT WE'RE DOING, AND WHAT WE CAN DO 26:56 TOGETHER TO GET -- LET THE PEOPLE KNOW, NO ONLY IN 27:00 ALABAMA, BUT ACROSS AMERICA AND AROUND THE WORLD ABOUT GOD'S 27:03 LAW -- WHAT THE TRUTH IS ABOUT GOD'S LAW. 27:07 SO LET'S GO TO DEAN YOUNG, AND THEN WE'LL COME BACK. 27:11 >> NOVEMBER 6TH, 2018, WILL BE A DAY THAT WILL GO DOWN IN THE 27:15 HISTORY BOOKS IN ALABAMA. THE TEN COMMANDMENTS AMENDMENT 27:18 WILL BE ON THE BALLOT IN NOVEMBER, AND ALABAMIANS WILL 27:21 HAVE TO ANSWER THE CALL. THE QUESTION IS GOING TO BE, 27:24 WILL ALABAMIANS SAY WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE GOD, THE GOD OF BOTH 27:28 THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENT, THE GOD IN THE DECLARATION OF 27:32 INDEPENDENCE, OR DO WE NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT GOD? 27:35 AND THE WORLD WILL STAND AND WATCH TO SEE HOW WE VOTE ON THAT 27:39 DAY. ALABAMA WILL BE GROUND ZERO IN 27:42 THE CULTURAL WAR. WE HAVE BEEN WITNESSING THE END 27:45 OF THE WESTERN CHRISTIAN EMPIRE. AND WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AS A 27:49 PEOPLE, AS A STATE, TO COME TOGETHER AND SHOW THE WORLD THAT 27:54 WE WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE GOD, THE CHRISTIAN GOD THAT THIS NATION 27:58 WAS FOUNDED UPON. 17 YEARS AGO, I WROTE AN 28:01 AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION TO THE STATE OF ALABAMA, AND I GOT 28:06 TWO SPONSORS, GERALD AND DUANE, AND THAT WAS 17 YEARS AGO. 28:10 AND IT HAS TAKEN 17 YEARS FOR THAT AMENDMENT TO PASS THE HOUSE 28:14 AND THE SENATE, AND NOW IT WILL BE ON THE BALLOT NOVEMBER THE 28:19 6TH, 2018, AND THE ENTIRE WORLD WILL WATCH AS ALABAMA GOES TO 28:24 THE POLLS AND THEY TELL THE WORLD, YES, WE WANT TO 28:27 ACKNOWLEDGE GOD, OR NO, WE DON'T WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE GOD, AND WE 28:33 WILL GIVE AN ACCOUNT, ALABAMIANS, ON THAT DAY OF 28:37 JUDGMENT TO THE GOD OF CREATION, AS TO HOW WE VOTED ON THAT DAY. 28:41 YOU CAN COUNT ON ONE THING, AND THAT WILL BE THE BAD GUYS ARE 28:46 COMING, THE ACLU, THE AMERICANS UNITED FOR SEPARATION OF CHURCH 28:52 AND STATE, THE ATHEIST GROUPS, FAKE CHURCHES AND FAKE 28:59 PREACHERS, THEY ARE ALL GOING TO COME, BECAUSE THEY DON'T WANT 29:03 OUR CHILDREN BEING TAUGHT THAT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE GIVEN 29:07 TO US BY GOD, THE CREATOR, THE SAME GOD THAT IS ACKNOWLEDGED 29:13 FOUR TIMES IN OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. 29:16 I WANT TO ENCOURAGE EVERYONE TO TELL YOUR NEIGHBORS, TELL YOUR 29:20 CHURCHES, GET INVOLVED. PLEASE GO TO OUR WEBSITE, OUR OR 29:28 FACEBOOK PAGE, AND KEEP UP WITH WHAT IS GOING ON. 29:30 AND IF YOU CAN HELP FINANCIALLY, WE'RE GOING TO NEED IT. 29:34 ON NOVEMBER 6TH, PLEASE JOIN ME IN VOTING YES ON AMENDMENT 1. 29:39 AND LET'S SHOW THE WORLD THAT WE DO CARE ABOUT OUR CHILDREN, AND 29:43 WE DO CARE ABOUT THE DIRECTION OUR COUNTRY IS HEADED IN, AND WE 29:48 CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE, AND THE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING TO SEE 29:52 WHAT WE DO. >> ALL RIGHT. 29:54 >> WOW. >> NOW, WHAT WE WANT TO SAY IS, 29:58 WE'RE NOT TELLING YOU WHICH WAY TO VOTE. 30:00 >> RIGHT. >> WHAT WE ARE SAYING TO YOU IS, 30:03 THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY LIKE WE HAVE NEVER HAD BEFORE TO 30:10 LITERALLY GET THE TEN 3 COMMANDMENTS -- WE HAVE A BOOK 30:13 IT'S CALLED "TEN COMMANDMENTS TWICE REMOVED," OVER 11 MILLION 30:16 OF THEM HAVE BEEN IN PRINT.

SO WE'RE ASKING YOU TO CONTINUE 36:44 TO DO THIS. >> WE HAVE A GROUP IN 36:47 NEW YORK -- REMEMBER THAT GROUP OF FOLKS IN NEW YORK? 36:49 >> OH, YEAH. >> THEY DISTRIBUTED THOUSANDS -- 36:52 >> 5,000. >> YES. 36:54 YES. AND THIS WAS WHEN YOU FIRST 36:56 RELEASED THE BOOK, SO NOW I'M EXPECTING THEM TO PROBABLY WANT 37:00 TO DO 5,000 MORE, BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY ACTIVE. 37:03 >> IT'S MORE IMPORTANT NOW THAN IT WAS 12 YEARS AGO, BECAUSE OF 37:07 THE TIMES IN WHICH WE'RE LIVING. >> AS HE SAID ON THAT LITTLE 37:12 VIDEO CLIP, THE WORLD IS WATCHING. 37:14 SO THIS IS -- WE HAVE TO STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS HOT. 37:17 >> THAT'S RIGHT. >> JOHNNY, THERE IS ALSO A 37:20 SPANISH VERSION. YOU TRAVEL IN CHURCHES, HAVE YOU 37:23 EVER MET ANYONE WHO HAS JOINED THE CHURCH OR PASTORS WHO HAVE 37:27 CONVERTED FROM BELIEVING THEY CAN KEEP PART OF THE 37:30 COMMANDMENTS TO ALL OF THEM THROUGH THIS BOOK? 37:32 >> OH, YES, I HAVE HEARD MANY STORIES OF PEOPLE WHO HAVE COME 37:36 DO ACCEPT THE TRUTH OF THE SABBATH COMMANDMENT -- THE WHOLE 37:42 TEN COMMANDMENTS FROM OTHER DENOMINATIONS HAVE COME TO 37:46 ACCEPT THE SABBATH. AND I KNOW OF SUNDAY PASTORS IN 37:50 PUERTO RICO, FOR EXAMPLE, THAT SOMEBODY GAVE HIM ONE OF THE 37:54 "TEN COMMANDMENTS TWICE REMOVED" BOOKS, AND HE SAID THIS IS -- I 37:56 HAVE NEVER READ ANYTHING LIE THIS. 37:58 THIS -- I HAVE GOT TO GET MORE OF THESE. 38:01 AND ASKED THE PERSON THAT GAVE HIM, I NEED ONE FOR EVERY MEMBER 38:07 OF MY CONGREGATION, BECAUSE HE SAW THE TRUTH OF WHAT IS WRITTEN 38:11 HERE. AND I HAVE TO SAY, I BELIEVE GOD 38:13 INSPIRED DANN AND SHELLEY IN WRITING THIS BOOK. 38:17 THIS IS THE TRUTH THAT WILL OPEN EYES AND REALLY HELP YOU 38:21 UNDERSTAND THE WONDERFUL RELATIONSHIP THAT THE TEN 38:26 COMMANDMENTS HAVE WITH GOD'S IDEAL FOR US AS HUMANS. 38:29 IT'S A RELATIONSHIP THAT GOD WANTS FOR US. 38:34 AND THE TEN COMMANDMENTS ARE A BASIS TO THIS RELATIONSHIP. 38:38 SO THIS IS NOT A BOOK THAT WAS -- THAT WAS JUST PUT 38:42 TOGETHER. IT WAS A BOOK THAT WAS PUT 38:45 TOGETHER WITH PRAYER AND WITH GOD'S GUIDANCE, AND I CAN TELL 38:49 YOU THAT I TALKED TO PASTORS FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES, AND 38:53 THEY SAID WE WANT TO PRINT THESE OVER HERE, BECAUSE THIS IS 38:57 REALLY AN AMAZING, AMAZING BOOK. SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO 39:01 TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THIS OPPORTUNITY. 39:03 I MEAN, YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT $0.22 FOR POSTAGE -- 39:07 >> $0.22 APIECE. >> I WOULD JUST CHALLENGE YOU, 39:10 GO TO ANY BOOKSTORE, TAKE A LOOK AT THIS QUALITY OF THIS BOOK, 39:14 THE THICKNESS OF THIS BOOK, AND TELL ME IF YOU CAN FIND THIS 39:19 BOOK FOR $0.22. >> IT RETAILS $9.95. 39:24 THAT'S RETAIL, BUT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT ALMOST TWO FOR A DOLLAR, 39:29 BECAUSE WE WANT TO GET THEM OUT THE BEST WAY WE CAN, AND BY 39:32 PRINTING A MILLION AT A TIME, WE CAN GET THE COST THAT LOW THAT 39:36 WE CAN DO IT. SO $0.22. 39:39 SHELLEY YOU TALKED TO NUMEROUS PASTORS, AND NOT JUST LAY 39:43 MEMBERS BUT PASTORS -- WE HAD REGGIE WHIDDON ON HERE A COUPLE 39:50 OF WEEKS AGO, RYAN DAY WHO IS NOW WITH 3ABN, HE BECAME A 39:56 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHRISTIAN THROUGH READING THIS BOOK. 39:57 AND YOU HAVE TALKED TO NUMEROUS PEOPLE. 40:00 >> YES, I HAVE. AND I'LL TELL YOU THE SADDEST 40:04 THING -- I MEAN, THERE'S A LIST OF PEOPLE -- AND WE HAD OVER 40:07 30 -- I'M NOT SURE. MY COMPUTER CRASHED AND I LOST 40:11 THE LIT -- >> IT WAS CLOSE TO 40, IF I 40:14 RECALL. >> CLOSE TO 40. 40:16 OKAY. THE SADDEST THING IS I HAVE HAD 40:18 A COUPLE OF PASTORS WHO HAVE CALLED, AND THEY WERE BOTH FROM 40:22 THE SAME DENOMINATION, AND THEY SAID, WE READ THE BOOK, 40:28 ABSOLUTELY CONVINCED THIS IS TRUTH. 40:30 I'M KEEPING THE SABBATH. >> UH-HUH. 40:33 >> AND I SAID ARE YOU TEACHING YOUR CHURCH? 40:37 NO, IF I TAUGHT MY CHURCH THIS, I WOULD LOSE MY JOB. 40:40 >> OH, WOW. >> AND YOU JUST HAVE TO LOVINGLY 40:44 TELL THEM THAT -- YOU KNOW, AS JAMES SAID NOT MANY OF US SHOULD 40:48 WANT TO BE TEACHERS, BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO BE HELD TO A 40:52 HIGHER DEGREE OR ACCOUNTABILITY IF WE'RE NOT SHARING THE TRUTH, 40:56 AND SO I THIK, THOUGH, WHAT -- IN MY EXPERIENCE IN THE 41:03 PUBLIC, IS THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO EVEN IN OUR AREA, MANY 41:08 PEOPLE, WHO WHISPER, I KEEP THE SABBATH AT HOME. 41:12 >> UH-HUH. >> AND SO I THNK EVEN FOR THOSE-WHO HAVEN'T MADE THAT MOVE, THAT 41:19 AS THINGS START HEATING UP -- I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE A LOT 41:23 MORE PEOPLE WHO WILL COME OUT AND STAND FOR GOD'S WORD, BUT 41:28 YOU WANT THEM TO STANDING NOW. >> IT'S OVER 40 PASTORS. 41:34 I REMEMBER -- I THINK LAST YEAR -pWE HAD A PASTOR FROM CUBA TELL US FOUR PATH -- PASTORS FROM 41:50 ANOTHER DENOMINATION STARTED KEEPING THE SABBATH. 41:57 >> UH-HUH. YOU DID A GREAT JOB IN PUTTING 41:59 THIS TOGETHER WHERE IT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND, AND YET IT ANSWERS 42:03 QUESTIONS THAT COULD BE DIFFICULT QUESTIONS.->> MY CONTRIBUTION, 42:07 REALLY -- IT'S SO EXCITING WHEN GOD CALLED ME TO FULL-TIME 42:11 MINISTRY, I ACCEPTED THE CALL JANUARY 1ST OF 2000, AND THE 42:17 LORD TOLD ME COME SIT AT MY FEET AND I WILL TEACH YOU. 42:21 HERE IS SOMETHING INTERESTING. I GREW UP IN A NEW TESTAMENT 42:27 CHURCH, QUOTE UNQUOTE, SO THE ONLY THING I HAD UNTIL I WAS 30 42:31 WAS A NEW TESTAMENT, AND THAT'S WHY I WOULD ARGUE AGAINST THE 42:36 SABBATH, BECAUSE IT'S ALL FROM NEW TESTAMENT REASONING. 42:39 AND WHAT A SAD THING, BECAUSE THE BIBLE IS A PROGRESSIVE SELF 42:44 REVELATION FROM GOD, AND IT'S A NARRATIVE THAT STARTS IN GENESIS 42:49 AND ENDS IN REVELATION, AND IF WE DON'T KNOW THE -- THE OLD 42:56 TESTAMENT, WE REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND THE NEW TESTAMENT. 42:58 >> THAT'S RIGHT. THAT'S RIGHT. 43:01 >> SO, YOU KNOW, THEY SAY -- THEY SAY THE NEW 43:04 TESTAMENT IS CONCEALED IN THE OLD, AND THE OLD IS REVEALED IN 43:08 THE NEW. BUT GOD SAT ME DOWN OF ALL 43:10 PLACES -- STARTED ME ON A STUDY OF THE SANCTUARY, AND WHEN I 43:16 SAW -- I GOT TO THE PLACE WHERE IN DEUTERONOMY 32 -- WELL, NO 43:24 ACTUALLY IN EXODUS WHERE THE BOOK OF THE COVENANT WAS 43:28 PUT -- AND THIS IS THE OLD COVENANT -- IT WAS PUT ON THE 43:33 SIDE OF THE ARC YET THE TEN COMMANDMENTS WERE PUT ON THE 43:36 INSIDE OF THE ARC. >> RIGHT. 43:38 >> THAT WAS JUST LIKE, WOE, WAIT A MINUTE. 43:41 AND THEN I BEGAN REALLY STUDYING THE COVENANTS AND CAME TO 43:45 UNDERSTAND THAT THE COVENANTS WERE PROGRESSIVE, AND THAT GOD'S 43:51 COMMANDMENTS -- YOU FIND THEM IN GENESIS. 43:54 YOU FIND THEM WHEN -- WHEN ABRAHAM THE COVENANT WITH 43:59 ABRAHAM THIS EVER-LASTING COVENANT OF GRACE, PAUL SAYS 44:03 WHAT ROMANS 8, 9 THAT ABRAHAM WAS JUSTIFIED BY FAITH. 44:12 BUT ABRAHAM OBEYED GOD, AND THAT'S WHEN GOD WHEN HE RENEWED 44:20 THE COVENANT WITH ISAAC, GOD SAID BECAUSE YOU FATHER OBEYED. 44:25 THEN YOU GET INTO EXODUS WHERE THE HEBREW CHILDREN ARE, AND 44:30 THEY ARE CRYING OUT, AND EXODUS 2 SAYS GOD HEARD HIM. 44:35 HE REMEMBERED HIS COVENANT WITH ABRAHAM ISAAC AND JACOB. 44:42 SO THE POINT IS IT'S ALL PART -- AND THE BOOK OF THE 44:47 COVENANT WAS LATER REWRITTEN IN DEUTERONOMY, AND THEY CALLED 44:51 THAT THE BOOK OF THE LAW. DEUTERONOMY IS THE BOOK OF THE 44:55 LAW. AND IN DEUTERONOMY 32:41, 45:00 IT -- THIS BOOK OF THE COVENANT HAD -- OR BOOK OF THE LAW HAS 45:04 ALL OF THE CURSES AND THE BLESSINGS. 45:08 IT SAYS -- OR MOSES SAYS PUT IT ON THE SIDE. 45:15 THAT WAS TEMPORARY, WHEREAS THE COMMANDMENTS WERE INSIDE OF THE 45:22 ARK. AND HE SAYS IT WILL STAND THERE 45:24 AS A WITNESS AGAINST YOU. IT HAD ALL OF THE CURSES, ALL OF 45:29 THE BLESSINGS, AND LET ME READ TO YOU -- THIS IS THE SCRIPTURE, 45:34 AND WE MAY AS WELL GET TO IT, BECAUSE I KNOW THERE ARE A LOT 45:37 OF PEOPLE OUT THERE RIGHT NOW WHO ARE THINKING. 45:41 THE NEW TESTAMENT SAYS THEY WERE NAILED TO THE CROSS. 45:45 BUT LISTEN TO WHAT IT SAYS COLO SHANS 2 -- YOUR COMPLETE -- AND 46:02 [ INAUDIBLE ] IS THE HEAD OF ALL PRINCIPALITY AND POWER. 46:06 AND DOWN TO VERSE 14, TALKING ABOUT WHAT CHRIST DID, HAVING 46:11 WIPED OUT THE HANDWRITING OF REQUIREMENTS. 46:14 THAT WAS AGAINST US. WHICH WAS CONTRARY TO US. 46:17 >> UH-HUH. >> THIS WAS THE OLD COVENANT, 46:21 WHICH WAS A TEMPORARY COVENANT WITH ISRAEL, AND GOD SAID, I'M 46:29 GIVING YOU THE MESSIAH AS A COVENANT. 46:33 BUT HE SAYS HE HAS TAKEN IT OUT OF THE WAY, HAVING NALED IT TO 46:39 THE CROSS. AND DOES SOMEBODY WANT TO LOOK 46:42 UP EPHESIANS 2:13, BUT HE DISARMED THE PRINCIPALITIES AND 46:48 POWERS, MADE A PUBLIC SPECTACLE OF THEM. 46:52 AND THEN LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS, SO LET NO ONE JUDGE YOU IN FOOD 46:56 OR IN DRINK OR REGARDING A FESTIVAL, OR A NEW MOON, OR 47:02 SABBATH. ALL OF THIS IS CEREMONIAL 47:07 LANGUAGE, BECAUSE IN THE BOOK OF THE LAW THAT WAS THERE ON THE 47:11 SIDE OF THE ARC AS A WITNESS AGAINST THEM, BLESSINGS IF THEY 47:16 OBEYED, CURSES IF THEY DIDN'T, IT HAD ALL OF THESE CEREMONIAL 47:22 LAWS ABOUT FOOD AND DRINK OFFERINGS, AND HAD THE ANNUAL 47:28 SABBATH. THIS IS NOT REFERRING TO THE 47:31 SEVENTH-DAY SABBATH. IT SAYEST THE SABBATH -- THE 47:36 FESTIVAL, AND HERE IS HOW WE KNOW IT'S NOT. 47:38 HE SAID, WHICH ARE A SHADOW OF THINGS TO COME. 47:44 BUT THE SUBSTANCE IS OF CHRIST. CHRIST IS THE ONE WHO CAST THE 47:49 SHADOW. SEE, WHEN YOU STUDY THE 47:52 SANCTUARY, EVERYTHING ABOUT THE SANCTUARY, THIS WAS THEOLOGY IN 47:56 PHYSICAL FORM, AND IT ALL POINTED TO JESUS CHRIST, AND 48:01 IT'S -- I COULD TALK FOREVER ON THIS, BUT IT IS SO EXCITING. 48:05 IT WAS SO EXCITING TO ME -- ONCE I REALIZED THIS, I BEGAN 48:12 STUDYING THE SABBATH, AND WHEN I REALIZED THAT THE FIRST DAY OF 48:18 THE WEEK WAS CREATED BY GOD, WAS BLESSED BY GOD, WAS SANCTIFIED 48:25 BY GOD -- >> THE SEVENTH DAY -- 48:28 >> YOU SAID THE FIRST. >> THAT'S A SLIP ISN'T IT. 48:31 THE SEVENTH DAY OF THE WORK WAS CREATED, BLESSED, AND SANCTIFIED 48:36 BY GOD. AND I STARTED STUDYING THE 48:42 SABBATH AND WHAT IT MEANT, AND IT IS THE ONE THAT RECREATES US 48:49 IN CHRIST JESUS. THAT IT WAS ASSIGNED TO US. 48:52 WHAT I LOVE ABOUT GOD, IS HE MAKES IT CLEAR, SALVATION 48:56 BELONGS TO HIM. AND THIS WAS, TO ME -- I 49:00 REMEMBER THE FIRST SABBATH THAT I EVER KEPT. 49:06 I WAS ABSOLUTELY SET FREE BY THE SABBATH. 49:10 AND LET ME TELL YOU WHY. GROWING UP IN THE CHURCH OF 49:15 CHRIST, IT WAS SO LEGALISTIC, AND I ALWAYS FELT LIKE I HAD TO 49:21 BE PERFECT TO BE LOVED BY GOD. IN THAT GOD WAS JUST WATCHING 49:29 ME, READY TO ZAP ME IF I DID SOMETHING WRONG. 49:34 BUT WHEN I UNDERSTOOD THE SABBATH, I UNDERHIS LOVE FOR ME, 49:40 AND WHY THE SABBATH WAS SO IMPORTANT. 49:42 I SAW GOD AS A GOD OF LOE, AND I FINALLY QUIT PERFORMING. 49:46 YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYING? >> UH-HUH. 49:48 >> I PERFORMED FOR GOD. I WALKED AWAY FROM GOD ONCE IN 49:52 MY LIFE, BECAUSE I TOLD HIM, I CAN'T DO THIS. 49:55 >> UH-HUH. >> I CAN'T PLEASE YOU. 49:59 BUT THEN I REALIZED HIS SABBATH -- HE WAS CALLING ME 50:03 INTO THAT RELATIONSHIP OF COMPLETE REST, AND EVERY WEEK 50:08 THE SABBATH REMINDS ME THAT GOD IS THE ONE -- 50:12 >> AMEN. >> WHO IS SAVING. 50:15 >> THAT'S BEAUTIFUL. WE WANT YOU TO CALL IN YOUR 50:18 QUESTIONS, YOUR COMMENTS, LIVE@3ABN.TV. 50:22 IF YOU WILL CALL THOSE IN, YOU CAN CALL US AT 618-627-4651. 50:26 THE SECOND HOUR, WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO ANSWER A LOT OF YOUR 50:31 QUESTIONS. FOR THOSE THAT WOULD LIKE TO 50:34 DONATE, LET US KNOW IF THE LORD IS IMPRESSING YOU, IF YOU WANT 50:41 TO GIVE 100, A THOUSAND, WHATEVER THE LORD IMPRESSES YOU 50:49 TO GIVE. AND IF YOU WANT A BIG SHIPMENT, 51:00 FOR 100 BOOKS, IT IS $0.22 APIECE. 51:04 WE HAVE THESE OPPORTUNITIES, THE CHRISTIAN WORLD -- JOHN IS GOING 51:08 TO TALK SOME MORE AFTER THE HOUR ABOUT THIS LITTLE CONTROVERSY 51:13 GOING ON EVEN AMONG EVANGELICALS. 51:15 WE SEE THE THINGS HAPPENING IN ALABAMA, WE SHOULD WAKE UP. 51:18 NOW IS THE TIME TO DO IT. THE BEST WAY TO DO IT IS TO GET 51:23 TOOLS IN THE HANDS OF THE PEOPLE THAT LITERALLY CAN BE A WITNESS. 51:27 PEOPLE WILL READ THIS, THEY GET IN THEIR MAILBOX, OR YOU HAND IT 51:32 TO THEM, THEY ARE GOING TO TAKE IT HOME, AND THEY ARE GOING TO 51:36 READ IT. >> DANNY, I THINK YOU ARE RIGHT. 51:38 THIS IS MAKING THE NEWS. THIS IS A WAKE-UP CALL FROM THE 51:42 LORD SAYING, LOOK, IT'S IN THE NEWS. 51:45 >> YEAH, THAT'S RIGHT.->> AND I REMEMBER TAKING CALL FROM A GENTLEMAN THAT SAID, I 51:50 HAVE BEEN SITTING ON A CHAIR FOR SO MANY YEARS, I THINK I NEED TO 51:54 PASS OUT SOME OF THESE BOOKS. SEND ME A HUNDRED. 52:00 IT'S $0.22 PER BOOK FOR THE POSTAGE. 52:03 >> YEAH, THAT'S ALL YOU ARE PAYING. 52:05 >> THIS IS AN AMAZING OPPORTUNITY. 52:07 >> ANDY STANLEY SAYS THE OLD TESTAMENT -- THERE'S NOT MUCH 52:12 GRACE IN THE OLD TESTAMENT. AND THIS POINT THAT HE MADE, HE 52:17 IS GETTING SO MUCH BACKLASH FROM THE CHRISTIAN WORLD THAT HONORS 52:21 THE FIRST DAY OF THE WEEK. THESE ARE NOT SABBATH KEEPERS 52:25 THAT ARE GIVING HIM A HARD TIME. HE SAID, SECONDLY, THE OLD 52:31 TESTAMENT ISN'T ABOUT JESUS. AND THE PROPHECIES IN THE OLD 52:35 TESTAMENT WERE ALL POINTING TO THE COMING OF CHRIST. 52:41 BEGINNING WITH GENESIS 3. LET'S JUST ENTERTAIN THE PREMISE 52:45 FOR A MOMENT THAT THERE'S NO GRACE. 52:48 FOR BY GRACE ARE YOU SAVED THROUGH FAITH. 52:51 WE'RE SAVED BY GRACE THROUGH FAITH. 52:54 ROMANS 3:31, DO WE MAKE VOID THE LAW THROUGH FAITH? 52:59 THE ANSWER IS GOD FORBID. WE ESTABLISH THE LAW. 53:02 SO THE COVENANT THAT SHELLEY WAS TALKING ABOUT WAS PARTICULARLY 53:06 THE OLD COVENANT. THE OLD COVENANT AND THE OLD 53:12 TESTAMENT ARE NOT THE SAME. >> THAT'S AN IMPORTANT POINT, 53:15 BECAUSE I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE THINK THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE 53:19 OLD COVENANT -- >> IT'S NOT THE SAME. 53:21 BECAUSE JESUS DIDN'T HAVE A NEW TESTAMENT. 53:24 HE WAS THE FULILLMENT OF ALL OF THE PROPHECIES POINTED TO HIM. 53:31 BUT HERE IS THE POINT I WANT TO MAKE. 53:34 PAUL THE APOSTLE WHO IS OFTEN SITED AS THE REASON WE COULDN'T 53:40 SEEP THE COMMANDMENTS ANYMORE. HE SAYS CIRCUMCISION IS NOTHING. 53:44 YOU HAVE TO BE SCIRCUMCISION TO KEEP THE LAW. 53:54 HE SAYS WHAT MATTERS IS KEEPING GOD'S COMMANDMENTS. 53:58 THAT'S WHAT THIS IS ALL ABOUT, "TEN COMMANDMENTS TWICE 54:02 REMOVED." WHY TWICE REMOVED? 54:03 BECAUSE ONE, IT WAS A -- THERE WAS AN ATTEMPTED COUP BY ROME TO 54:10 CHANGE THE LAW OF GOD. >> RIGHT. 54:14 >> NOW THE CHRISTIAN WORLD TODAY IS SEEKING TO DO THE VERY SAME 54:19 THING, BUT NOW ALABAMA'S PUSH IS SAYING TO THE WORLD, LOOK AT ALL 54:23 OF THIS IMMORALITY, IT'S TIME TO GET BACK. 54:26 OUR ATTEMPT IS NOT TO SAY HOW TO VOTE, BUT YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT 54:31 THIS IS REALLY ALL ABOUT. WHAT ARE THE COMMANDMENTS OF 54:35 GOD? AND WHY ARE CHRISTIANS SO 54:39 DESIROUS OF SUPPORTING, AND THERE IS SUCH A HATRED FOR THE 54:46 ONLY ONE THAT BEGINS WITH THE WORD REMEMBER. 54:53 DON'T FORGET WHAT GOD SAID REMEMBER, AND REMEMBER WHAT MAN 54:57 SAYS FORGET. WATCH THIS, VERY QUICKLY. 55:02 REMEMBER LOTS WIVE. ANY CHRISTIAN COULD REMEMBER 55:05 THOSE QUICK WORDS. NOBODY WILL FORGET LOT'S WIFE, 55:09 WHY? BECAUSE GOD SAID DON'T LOOK 55:13 BACK. SECOND REMEMBER, REMEMBER THE 55:14 CREATOR OF THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH. 55:18 EVERYBODY IS SAYING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY -- SOL MON SAID IT, 55:23 OUR YOUNG PEOPLE NEED TO KNOW JESUS. 55:25 DOES ANYBODY DISAGREE WITH THAT? NO. 55:29 SALOMON SAID IT, WE AGREE WITH HIM. 55:33 DR. LUKE SAID IT. WE AGREE WITH THEM. 55:36 GOD SAYS REMEMBER HIM AND PASTORS SAY FORGET IT. 55:40 >> WOW. >> THAT'S POWERFUL. 55:42 >> TELL ME THE DEVIL ISN'T BEHIND THAT. 55:46 DON'T FORGET WHAT GOD SAID REMEMBER, AND REMEMBER WHAT MAN 55:50 SAYS FORGET. >> WOW. 55:52 WE'RE GOING TO BE BACK FOR ANOTHER HOUR. 55:55 WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A BREAK IN JUST A MINUTE. 55:58 BUT CONTINUE TO CALL IN, AND WE'RE GOING TO ANSWER SOME OF 56:01 YOUR QUESTIONS, AND YOU CAN EMAIL US AT LIVE@3ABN.TV, AND 56:10 YOU CAN CALL US AT 618-627-4651. AND AS LONG AS WE HAVE THE BOOK, 56:14 WE'RE GOING TO GIVE THEM AWAY, AND ALL YOU PAY IS THE SHIPPING. 56:17 SO HERE IS ONE OF THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED, THAT I DIDN'T 56:21 ANTICIPATE WHEN WE DID THIS SOMETIME AGO, JOHN -- AND ALL OF 56:25 YOU. THIS IS AMAZING TO ME. 56:28 CHURCHES WHO REALLY HADN'T BEEN INVOLVED IN EVANGELISM FOR 56:31 YEARS, ALL STARTED -- IT WAS LIKE THERE -- AN OUTBREAK IN THE 56:35 CHURCH SAYING, WOW, THI IS GREAT. 56:38 WE WENT OUT LAST SABBATH. WE PASSED OUT THESE BOOKS. 56:41 I HAD THESE GREAT TESTIMONIES. THEN A FEW WEEKS LATER, PEOPLE 56:47 STARTED WALKING INTO CHURCHES, SAYING I READ THIS BOOK. 56:51 I CALL A CALL FROM PASTOR STEPHENS, AND HE SAID, I WANT 56:55 YOU TO KNOW THAT THIS SABBATH I'M BAPTIZING FOUR PEOPLE THAT 57:02 WATCH 3ABN. JUST LETTING YOU KNOW. 57:04 THOSE THINGS ARE HAPPENING AROUND THE WORLD. 57:09 AND I TEXTED HIM BACK, AND I SAID THANK YOU. 57:11 I NEVER GET TIRED OF HEARING THAT. 57:14 THAT OVER AND OVER -- AFTER 30-SOME YEARS THAT PEOPLE ARE 57:18 STILL COMING IN READY TO BE BAPTIZED. 57:21 SO IT GIVES A SPARK TO THE CHURCH AS PEOPLE GET UP AND GET 57:25 OUT AND EVANGELISM IS -INFECTIOUS. YOU'LL WANT TO DO IT, AND THOSE 57:30 AROUND YOU WANT TO DO IT, AND YOU COME BACK AND TRADE THESE 57:33 GREAT STORIES OF WHAT GOD IS DOING. 57:36 SO WE'RE GOING TO TAKE A SHORT BREAK. 57:38 YOU CAN CONTINUE TO CALL IN. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE 57:41 BOOK OR DONATE OR HAVE QUESTIONS, BUT WE'LL BE BACK IN 57:45 JUST A MOMENT. |
