00:02 ANNOUNCER: THIS PRESENTATION IS BROUGHT TO YOU BY THE
00:04 FRIENDS OF THE AMAZING FACTS MINISTRY. 00:08 DOUG BATCHELOR: IN 1629 THE EMPEROR OF INDIA, 00:11 SHAH JAHAN, WENT ON A MILITARY CAMPAIGN TO CRUSH A REBELLION 00:15 IN HIS KINGDOM. 00:16 EVEN THOUGH SHE WAS ILL AND PREGNANT, 00:18 HIS WIFE JOINED HIM ON THE GRUELING JOURNEY. 00:21 ON THE WAY SHE COLLAPSED, GAVE BIRTH TO THEIR DAUGHTER, 00:24 AND THEN DIED. 00:25 THE BEAUTIFUL EMPRESS WAS ONLY 39 YEARS OLD. 00:28 BESIDE HIMSELF WITH GRIEF, THE EMPEROR CARRIED HIS WIFE'S BODY 00:32 HOME AND CONSTANTLY WORE WHITE ROBES OF MOURNING. 00:35 WHEN HE FINALLY CAME OUT OF SECLUSION, 00:37 HE ORDERED THAT A BEAUTIFUL PALACE BE BUILT 00:39 FOR HIS BELOVED WIFE. 00:41 IT WAS NEVER TO BE CALLED A TOMB; 00:43 IT WAS TO BE CALLED BY THE INDIAN WORD, 00:45 MAHAL, MEANING PALACE. 00:47 THE PALACE THAT THE EMPEROR BUILT IS ONE OF THE MOST 00:50 BREATHTAKING STRUCTURES EVER BUILT. 00:53 A DAZZLING WONDER OF MARBLE AND JEWELS KNOWN TODAY 00:57 AS THE TAJ MAHAL. 00:58 THIS MAJESTIC TOMB IS AN ABIDING MEMORIAL OF THE EMPEROR'S 01:03 LOVE FOR HIS WIFE. 01:04 DID YOU KNOW THAT GOD HAS ALSO GIVEN BELIEVERS AN ETERNAL 01:08 MEMORIAL OF HIS CREATIVE POWER OF LOVE? 01:11 IT'S BUILT NOT IN MARBLE BUT IN TIME, 01:15 AND IT CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE. 01:17 SO, LET'S DIVE INTO TOGETHER NOW AND EXPLORE THIS IMPORTANT 01:20 AND FASCINATING SUBJECT. 01:26 DOUG: WE'RE GOING TO START WITH 01:28 A STORY THAT YOU FIND IN THE BIBLE IN THE BOOK 01:32 OF DANIEL - DANIEL CHAPTER 1 - AND IT'S CALLED 01:35 BABYLON'S BUFFET AND THIS IS BASED UPON DANIEL 1, 01:40 VERSES 1 THROUGH 21 - IT'S A WHOLE CHAPTER. 01:43 NOW DANIEL IS A BOOK THAT DEALS A LOT WITH PROPHECY, BUT 01:45 IT'S INTERESTING HOW THE BOOK OF DANIEL BEGINS WITH A TEST. 01:50 ABOUT 500 YEARS BEFORE CHRIST, KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR INVADED 01:54 JERUSALEM, AND ON HIS FIRST ATTACK ON THE CITY 01:58 HE CARRIED AWAY THOUSANDS OF PRISONERS FROM 02:01 JERUSALEM TO BABYLON AND AMONG THOSE HE CARRIED 02:05 AWAY WERE SOME OF THE PRINCES OF JERUSALEM. 02:09 SOME OF THEM, THE BIBLE FORETOLD, WERE DESCENDANTS OF 02:12 KING HEZEKIAH. AND THEY WERE TAKEN AND THEY 02:15 WERE EDUCATED IN THE PALACE OF BABYLON. 02:18 AND THE KING SAID, 'LOOK, WE'RE GOING TO TEACH YOU 02:20 THE LANGUAGE OF THE BABYLONIANS' - HE TOOK THE 02:21 BRIGHTEST AND THE BEST LOOKING OF ALL THE ROYAL 02:25 CHILDREN BACK TO BABYLON AND HE SAID, 'I'M GOING TO 02:28 TRAIN YOU IN ALL THE SCIENCES OF BABYLON,' - 02:31 WHICH WAS THE MOST SOPHISTICATED PLACE IN THE 02:33 WORLD AT THE TIME - 'AND AFTER THREE YEARS, THOSE 02:37 WHO PASSED THE TEST - THE CREAM OF THE CROP - WILL 02:39 STAND BEFORE ME AND THEY WILL BE REPRESENTATIVES TO 02:42 THESE OTHER NATIONS.' NEBUCHADNEZZAR WAS REALLY 02:46 A VERY SMART LEADER AND HE HAD GREAT COUNSELORS AND 02:48 THIS WAS A WISE PLAN. SO AMONG SOME OF THE THOUSANDS 02:51 THAT WERE CARRIED FROM JERUSALEM WERE FOUR HEBREW YOUNG MEN. 02:55 THEIR JEWISH NAMES WERE DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, 02:59 AND AZARIAH. BABYLONIAN NAMES WERE 03:02 BELTESHAZAR, SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO. 03:07 AND DANIEL, SHADRACH, MESHACH, AND ABEDNEGO WENT 03:11 TO THIS SCHOOL, BUT THEN THEY FOUND OUT THAT THEY 03:14 WERE GOING TO BE REQUIRED TO EAT FROM THE ROYAL 03:16 CAFETERIA. NOW MOST CAPTIVES WOULD 03:17 HAVE BEEN THRILLED. ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS 03:19 FROM THE OTHER PARTS OF THE WORLD NEBUCHADNEZZAR 03:21 CONQUERED - THEY WERE THRILLED THAT THEY 03:22 GOT TO EAT AT THE BABYLONIAN BUFFET. 03:25 IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE BEST FOOD IN THE WORLD, 03:28 BUT RIGHT AWAY DANIEL AND HIS FRIENDS REALIZED THEY 03:31 COULDN'T EAT THAT BECAUSE THERE WAS FOOD IN THERE 03:33 THAT GOD HAD DESIGNATED AS UNCLEAN. 03:36 AND IT SAYS IN DANIEL 1, VERSE 8, "BUT DANIEL 03:39 PURPOSED IN HIS HEART THAT HE WOULD NOT DEFILE 03:42 HIMSELF WITH THE PORTION OF THE KING'S DELICACIES, 03:46 NOR WITH THE WINE WHICH HE DRANK;" - SO DANIEL WENT 03:50 TO THE CHIEF OF THE EUNUCHS, WHICH WAS IN 03:51 CHARGE OF THE PREPARATION AND THEIR TRAINING, 03:54 AND HE SAID, 'LET US JUST EAT VEGETABLES. 03:57 GIVE US TEN DAYS.' AND YOU'LL FIND THE KING JAMES 03:59 WORD THERE IS 'PULSE' - SOME OF YOUR TRANSLATIONS 04:01 IT JUST SAYS VEGETABLES - AND HE SAID, 'OH, I CAN'T 04:04 DO THAT.' - HE SAYS - 'THE KING'S GOING TO LOOK AT 04:06 YOU AND SAY, 'HOW COME THESE YOUNG MEN ARE SICK?' 04:08 AND I'M GOING TO SAY, 'WELL, THEY'RE NOT EATING THE 04:09 FOOD THAT YOU PROVIDED.' 'WHAT? 04:11 MY FOOD WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH FOR THEM?' 04:12 AND HE SAID, 'HE'LL TAKE MY HEAD OFF.' DANIEL SAID, 04:15 'YOU TEST US. GIVE US TEN DAYS. 04:16 IF WE DON'T LOOK OKAY, FINE.' SO, FOR TEN DAYS 04:21 THEY ATE NOTHING BUT VEGETABLES. 04:24 THEY ATE VEGETABLE STEW AND A VEGETARIAN DIET - DRANK 04:28 WATER - AND THE BIBLE SAYS - DANIEL 1, VERSE 15 - 04:32 "AND AT THE END OF TEN DAYS THEIR COUNTENANCES 04:35 APPEARED FAIRER AND FATTER IN FLESH THAN ALL THE 04:39 CHILDREN WHICH DID EAT THE PORTION OF THE KING'S 04:41 MEAT." THEY WERE HEALTHIER THAN 04:44 THOSE WHO WERE EATING FROM THE CAFETERIA OF BABYLON. 04:46 NOW WHY DOES THE BIBLE INCLUDE THIS STORY? 04:51 THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN NEBUCHADNEZZAR HAD THEM 04:52 TESTED - PROBABLY BY HIMSELF AS WELL AS HIS 04:55 OTHER WISE MEN IN THE KINGDOM - THEY FOUND THAT 04:58 AMONG ALL THE CAPTIVES THAT HAD BEEN TRAINED, 05:01 DANIEL, HANANIAH, MISHAEL, AND AZARIAH WERE TEN TIMES 05:05 WISER - TEN TIMES WISER - THAN ANY OF THE OTHERS WHO 05:10 HAD TRAINED. BEING A CHRISTIAN IS NOT 05:13 JUST ABOUT A CHANGE IN YOUR THINKING. 05:16 BEING A CHRISTIAN IS AN ENTIRE TRANSFORMATION AND 05:20 'WHATEVER YOU EAT AND WHATEVER YOU DRINK, DO ALL 05:23 TO THE GLORY OF GOD.' IT DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE 05:25 WHAT YOU DO WITH YOUR BODY. 05:26 YOUR BODY IS THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. 05:29 AND A TRUTH THAT HAS BEEN LOST IN RECENT YEARS TO 05:34 CHRISTIANITY - BOTH PROTESTANTS AND CATHOLICS 05:37 AND EVANGELICALS - IS A VERY CLEAR BIBLICAL TEACHING 05:41 THAT WE ARE TO TAKE CARE OF OUR BODIES. 05:44 WE ARE TO BE CAREFUL. WE ARE TO USE SELF-CONTROL 05:47 AND ESPECIALLY IS THAT IMPORTANT WHEN WE'RE 05:49 LIVING IN A SOCIETY THAT IS DROWNING IN ABUNDANCE. 05:53 #1 - WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL DIET THAT GOD DESIGNED FOR 05:56 HUMANS IN THE BEGINNING - WE'RE GOING ALL THE WAY 05:58 BACK TO GENESIS NOW - FIRST CHAPTER IN THE 06:01 BIBLE, GENESIS 1:29, AND GOD SAID, 'BEHOLD, I HAVE 06:06 GIVEN YOU EVERY HERB BEARING SEED,'" - AND 06:10 THAT'S TALKING ABOUT EVERY PLANT. 06:12 AND IT GOES ON TO SAY, "...AND EVERY TREE, IN THE 06:15 WHICH IS THE FRUIT OF A TREE YIELDING SEED; TO YOU 06:20 IT SHALL BE FOR MEAT.'" - AND THAT WORD 'MEAT' THERE 06:23 IS THE OLD ENGLISH WORD. IT MEANS 'FOOD' - IT'S 06:25 LIKE THE MEAT OF A NUT - IT JUST MEANS 'THE FOOD'. 06:27 SO THE ORIGINAL DIET FOR ADAM AND EVE WAS WHAT? 06:31 FRUITS, GRAINS, NUTS - IT WAS A 'FRUITARIAN' DIET. 06:36 THEY PROBABLY DIDN'T EVEN COOK ANY FOOD BACK THERE. 06:38 HOW LONG DID GOD INTEND FOR ADAM AND EVE TO LIVE 06:41 WHEN HE FIRST MADE THEM? >>FOREVER. 06:43 >>FOREVER. AND THEN, AFTER SIN, GOD 06:48 ADDED ONE MORE THING TO THE DIET BECAUSE HE SAID, 06:50 'YOU CAN'T EAT FROM THE TREE OF LIFE ANY LONGER.' 06:53 AFTER ADAM AND EVE SINNED IT SAYS, 'WHAT 06:54 SUPPLEMENTAL FOOD DID GOD THEN ADD TO THEIR DIET?' 06:58 GENESIS 3:18, IT SAYS, "...THOU SHALT EAT THE 07:03 HERB OF THE FIELD." THAT MEANS THE VEGETABLE. 07:06 BUT A VEGETABLE IS TECHNICALLY - OH, LET ME 07:10 GIVE YOU A TEST AND FIND OUT - FRUIT OR VEGETABLE - 07:14 BANANA? >>FRUIT. 07:16 >>FRUIT. APPLE? >>FRUIT. 07:18 >>ZUCCHINI? >>VEGETABLE. 07:20 >>FRUIT. EGGPLANT? >>VEGETABLE. 07:25 >>FRUIT. BRUSSELS SPROUTS? 07:28 >>VEGETABLE. >>INEDIBLE. 07:31 (LAUGHTER) BRUSSELS SPROUTS ARE ACTUALLY A VEGETABLE. 07:36 CELERY? >>VEGETABLE. 07:38 >>IT'S A VEGETABLE. POTATO? 07:40 >>VEGETABLE. >>IT'S A VEGETABLE. 07:42 SO ANY PART OF THE PLANT OTHER THAN THE SEED AND 07:44 THE PRODUCT OF THE FLOWER - A FRUIT IS THE PRODUCT OF 07:46 THE FLOWER - IS GOING TO BE A VEGETABLE - THE 07:49 STALK, THE LEAVES, THE FLOWERS - THOSE ARE ALL 07:51 CONSIDERED TO BE VEGETABLES. 07:52 THE ROOT - YOU KNOW, THEY'RE TUBERS - A POTATO. 07:57 SO HE ADDED THAT TO THE DIET AND THERE WERE ALL 07:58 KINDS OF IMPORTANT ENZYMES AND THINGS IN THERE. 08:01 SO THERE ARE BENEFITS - THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT 08:04 THERE ARE BENEFITS TO EATING A VEGETABLE-BASED DIET. 08:07 FOR AWHILE, PEOPLE THOUGHT THAT SEVENTH-DAY 08:09 ADVENTISTS WERE KOOKS, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF YOU READ 08:11 THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO. 08:14 IT SAID - THEY PICKED OUT THE THREE LONGEST LIVING 08:16 PEOPLE IN THE WORLD. DID YOU KNOW THAT? 08:19 YOU CAN GO LOOK THIS UP. NUMBER 1, THERE WERE 08:21 PEOPLE IN SARDINIA IN - OFF OF ITALY IN THE 08:25 MEDITERRANEAN, THE PEOPLE OF OKINAWA, AND THE 08:28 SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS, PRINCIPALLY IN THE LOMA 08:31 LINDA AREA WHERE THEY HAVE A UNIVERSITY AND THERE'S 08:32 A LARGE CONCENTRATION. THEY STUDIED THEM. 08:34 THEY LIVED THE LONGEST OF ANY PEOPLE GROUPS IN THE WORLD. 08:38 AND WHEN THEY ASKED WHY DO THESE PEOPLE LIVE LONGER, 08:40 THEY SAID, 'WELL, SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTISTS - 08:42 IT'S THE COMMUNITY, THE REST FROM THE SABBATH, AND 08:45 THEY'RE LARGELY - NOT ENTIRELY, BUT LARGELY - A 08:47 VEGETARIAN LIFESTYLE - HEALTHY LIFESTYLE. 08:50 AND SO, WHAT WE'RE SHARING WITH YOU IS NOT SOME 08:53 RELIGIOUS BELIEF, THIS IS HARD, SCIENTIFIC FACT - 08:56 THAT IF YOU EAT - THE CLOSER TO THE BIBLICAL 08:59 DIET THAT GOD PRESCRIBED, THE LONGER YOU'RE GOING TO 09:03 LIVE, THE BETTER YOU'RE GOING TO FEEL, THE LESS 09:05 DISEASE YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE. 09:07 IN THE MANUAL HE TELLS YOU WHAT THE IDEAL DIET IS FOR 09:10 MAN, AND FOLLOWING THAT DIET WILL CERTAINLY MAKE 09:13 YOU FEEL BETTER. I'LL SHARE A LITTLE MORE 09:15 PERSONALLY WITH YOU AS WE PROCEED. 09:17 WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY, MORE SPECIFICALLY, ABOUT 09:19 EATING? ARE THERE SOME MAMMALS - 09:21 SOME FOODS THAT ARE CLEAN AND SOME THAT ARE UNCLEAN? 09:23 YOU KNOW, DANIEL SAID HE WOULDN'T DEFILE HIMSELF 09:26 WITH THE MEAT WHICH THE KING'S SERVANTS WERE 09:28 EATING. WHAT MAMMALS DOES GOD 09:30 PERMIT HUMANS TO EAT? THAT'S QUESTION #9. 09:33 YOU LOOK IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 3, IT TELLS US THAT 09:36 THERE'S TWO CRITERIA THAT ARE SUPPOSED TO BE ON A 09:38 MAMMAL THAT IS GOING TO BE EATEN. 09:40 IT SAYS, WHATEVER DOES WHAT? 09:42 PARTS THE HOOF, AND IS CLOVEN FOOTED - AND CHEWS 09:47 THE CUD - THESE ARE CLEAN. NOW, THAT WOULD MEAN THAT 09:51 GOAT, SHEEP, DEER, ELK, MOOSE, THESE THINGS ARE 09:57 WHAT YOU WOULD CALL 'CLEAN' ANIMALS. 10:00 BUT THEN HE GOES ON TO SAY SOME THINGS THAT MAY CHEW 10:02 THE CUD - LIKE A CAMEL - BUT IT DOESN'T HAVE A CLOVEN HOOF. 10:04 IT NEEDED BOTH CRITERIA - THEY'RE UNCLEAN. 10:08 I KNOW SOME OF YOU ARE PROBABLY THINKING, 'OH, 10:09 DOUG, YOU TELL ME I HAVE TO GET RID OF MY CAMEL 10:11 STEAK TONIGHT AFTER THE PROGRAM.' (LAUGHTER) YES. 10:14 THAT'S WHY JESUS MADE FUN OF THE PHARISEES. 10:16 HE SAID, 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES. 10:18 YOU STRAIN A GNAT' - WHAT HE MEANT BY THAT WAS THEY 10:21 USED TO POUR THEIR WATER THROUGH THESE STRAINING 10:23 CLOTHS - THEY SAID, 'LEST WE HAVE A GNAT IN THERE 10:26 AND IT'S UNCLEAN.' THEY WOULD STRAIN THEIR WATER 10:28 TO PREVENT EATING A GNAT, BUT WHEN NO ONE WAS 10:31 LOOKING THEY'D EAT A CAMEL STEAK, WHICH WAS UNCLEAN, 10:32 BIBLICALLY. HE SAYS, 'YOU STRAIN A 10:34 GNAT AND YOU SWALLOW A CAMEL. 10:35 YOU EVER HEARD THAT EXPRESSION BEFORE? 10:36 THAT'S WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT. 10:38 HE'S SAYING 'YOU'RE HYPOCRITES. 10:40 YOU KNOW CAMEL IS UNCLEAN BUT YOU'RE SO AFRAID OF A 10:41 LITTLE GNAT AND WHEN NO ONE'S LOOKING YOU EAT 10:43 CAMEL STEAK.' IF YOU'RE GOING TO EAT MEAT, IT 10:47 NEEDS TO HAVE THOSE TWO CRITERIA - 10:49 BE CLOVEN HOOFED AND CHEW THE CUD. 10:52 NOW THERE ARE SOME OF YOU WHO ARE THINKING, 'WELL, 10:53 PASTOR DOUG, BUT DIDN'T - AREN'T HUMANS DESIGNED TO 10:55 EAT MEAT AND ISN'T THAT WHY GOD GAVE US THESE, YOU 10:58 KNOW, CANINE TEETH FOR THE RIPPING AND TEARING OF MEAT. 11:00 SEE THIS CHARACTER ON THE SCREEN? 11:07 HE'S GOT CANINE TEETH TOO. HE'S A VEGETARIAN. 11:11 SO IT'S JUST - THERE'S ALL KINDS OF MYTHS OUT THERE. 11:13 MATTER OF FACT, THE ANIMAL WITH THE BIGGEST TEETH IS 11:14 AN ELEPHANT AND HIPPO - THEY'RE ALL VEGETARIANS. 11:18 DOUG: DON'T GO ANYWHERE, FRIENDS. 11:19 WE'LL BE BACK IN JUST A MOMENT WITH THE REST 11:21 OF TODAY'S PRESENTATION. 11:23 IT'S NO SECRET FRIENDS, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE TODAY ARE SUFFERING 11:26 FROM HEALTH ISSUES THAT LEAD TO CRIPPLING DISEASE 11:29 AND SHORTER LIVES. 11:31 WE SPEND BILLIONS EVERY YEAR ON GOOFY HEALTH FADS BUT OFTEN END 11:35 UP HURTING OUR BODIES MORE THAN HELPING. 11:38 BUT WHAT IF I TOLD YOU THAT THE BIBLE HAS THE EXACT PRESCRIPTION 11:42 THAT YOU NEED TO LIVE A HEALTHIER AND A HAPPIER LIFE? 11:45 AMAZING FACTS WANTS TO SEND YOU A SPECIAL FREE RESOURCE CALLED 11:49 "AMAZING HEALTH FACTS!" 11:52 THIS ATTRACTIVE FULL COLOR MAGAZINE PRESENTS EIGHT POWERFUL 11:54 BIBLICAL HEALTH LESSONS IN A DIRECT AND CAPTIVATING WAY 11:58 GIVING YOU PRACTICAL, EASY-TO-FOLLOW GUIDANCE ON 12:01 BETTER LIVING TODAY. 12:03 BACKED BY MODERN RESEARCH, EACH LESSON IS PACKED WITH COLORFUL 12:06 AND INTRIGUING FACTS THAT WILL HELP YOU KEEP YOUR BODY, 12:09 MIND, AND SPIRIT STRONGER THAN EVER. 12:11 TO GET YOUR FREE COPY CALL THE PHONE NUMBER ON THE SCREEN AND 12:14 ASK FOR OFFER NUMBER 806 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS AND AFTER 12:19 YOU READ THIS INCREDIBLE RESOURCE, 12:21 BE SURE AND SHARE IT WITH A FRIEND. 12:23 LET'S RETURN NOW TO TODAY'S PRESENTATION AND LEARN SOME 12:26 MORE AMAZING FACTS FROM THE WORD OF GOD. 12:30 DOUG: YOU KNOW, THE U.S. NAVY DID A STUDY A FEW 12:32 YEARS AGO WHERE THEY SAID, 12:35 'WHAT DO WE GIVE, AS A RULE OF THUMB, TO SAILORS 12:37 OR PILOTS THAT ARE SHOT DOWN - IF THEY NEED TO EAT 12:40 SEAFOOD WHILE THEY'RE FLOATING AROUND ON THESE 12:41 RAFTS - BECAUSE DURING WORLD WAR II A LOT OF 12:43 THEM, THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY COULD AND 12:45 COULDN'T EAT. THEY SPENT MILLIONS OF 12:47 GOVERNMENT DOLLARS. THEY DID A STUDY AND YOU 12:49 KNOW WHAT THEY CAME BACK WITH? 12:50 THIS IS WHAT THE NAVY STUDY CONCLUDED: IF IT HAS 12:53 FINS AND SCALES IT'S PROBABLY SAFE TO EAT. 12:57 THEY COULD HAVE SAVED SO MUCH MONEY AND JUST READ 12:59 WHAT THE BIBLE SAID. (LAUGHTER) NOW YOU CAN 13:02 READ ON THERE IN LEVITICUS AND IT SAYS THERE IN 13:05 LEVITICUS 11, VERSE 10, "BUT ALL IN THE SEAS OR 13:09 IN THE RIVERS THAT DO NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES," - 13:12 THAT MEANS RIVERS, SEAS, LAKES - ALL THE OTHER 13:14 WATER CREATURES - "THAT DO NOT HAVE FINS AND SCALES, 13:17 ALL THAT MOVE IN THE WATER OR ANY LIVING THING WHICH IS IN THE 13:20 WATER, THEY ARE AN ABOMINATION TO YOU." 13:24 WHY DOESN'T GOD WANT US TO EAT CERTAIN THINGS? 13:27 THESE ANIMALS - CRABS, LOBSTERS - YOU KNOW HOW 13:29 THEY CATCH THEM? THEY'RE SCAVENGERS. 13:32 THEY PUT SOME DECOMPOSING FISH HEAD IN A TRAP AND 13:35 THEY ARE MADE BY GOD TO BE THE GARBAGE CANS IN THE 13:38 WORLD TO CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT. 13:39 THEY EAT ALL THE TOXINS. CLAMS - THEY SOAK 13:42 UP ALL THE TOXINS. WE HAVE ONE PRESIDENT 13:44 THAT DIED FROM EATING CONTAMINATED OYSTERS. 13:47 AND THESE THINGS ARE JUST - THEY'RE NOT HEALTHY. 13:51 SHRIMP - WHEN THEY SERVE SHRIMP, THEY SERVE IT 13:53 COMPLETE WITH THE INTESTINES - ARE STILL - 13:56 THE DIGESTIVE TRACK IS STILL IN THERE. 13:58 THAT'S NOT GOD'S - THAT STUFF'S NOT GOOD FOR YOU. 14:00 THERE'S - DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE BAY WHERE 14:02 YOU GET THE OYSTERS AND THE CLAMS ARE ALL THE TOXINS. 14:05 THEY'RE - THESE ANIMALS ARE MADE BY GOD TO FILTER 14:07 AND HELP CLEAN THE ENVIRONMENT. 14:09 SAME THING WITH CERTAIN BIRDS THAT ARE CONSIDERED 14:12 UNCLEAN. WHICH BIRDS ARE UNCLEAN? 14:15 IN LEVITICUS 11, VERSES 15 AND 16, IT SAYS, "EVERY 14:20 RAVEN AFTER ITS KIND, AND THE OWL, AND THE 14:26 NIGHTHAWK, AND THE CUCKOW...AFTER ITS 14:30 KIND," - THE RAPTORS AND THE CARNIVOROUS BIRDS WERE 14:33 CONSIDERED UNCLEAN. THE CLEAN BIRDS - THERE'S 14:36 NOT A RULE LIKE FINS AND SCALES - BUT THE CLEAN 14:40 BIRDS WERE THE FORAGING BIRDS - TURKEY, THE 14:43 CHICKENS, PHEASANT, SO FORTH - THEY WOULD BE CLEAN. 14:46 ARE THE LAWS ABOUT CLEAN AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS PART 14:49 OF MOSES' CEREMONIAL LAW WHICH ENDED AT THE CROSS? 14:53 THIS IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK. 14:54 GENESIS 7, VERSES 1 AND 2 - SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'OH, 14:59 THOSE ARE LAWS JUST FOR THE JEWS' - THOSE CLEAN 15:02 AND UNCLEAN LAWS. WAS NOAH JEWISH? 15:06 LET'S READ THIS TOGETHER: "...COME THOU AND ALL THY 15:10 HOUSE INTO THE ARK...OF EVERY CLEAN BEAST THOU 15:15 SHALL TAKE TO THEE BY SEVENS." 15:18 SO DOES GOD MAKE A DISTINCTION BETWEEN CLEAN 15:20 AND UNCLEAN ANIMALS EVEN BEFORE THERE WERE ANY JEWS? 15:25 QUIZ: HOW MANY OF YOU ARE RELATED TO NOAH? 15:29 >>ALL OF US. >>THAT'S RIGHT! 15:32 EVERYBODY HERE - AND SO IF GOD MADE IT - THIS IS A TEST. 15:36 I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU MANAGED - YOUR ANCESTORS 15:37 SURVIVED THE FLOOD, BESIDES NOAH - EVERYBODY 15:40 HERE IS RELATED TO NOAH. GOD MADE A DISTINCTION - 15:43 THESE ARE THINGS THAT WERE FOR MANKIND - YOU CAN SEE 15:45 IT GOING ALL THE WAY BACK TO GENESIS. 15:47 SHOULD A CHRISTIAN, BIBLICALLY, USE ALCOHOLIC 15:50 BEVERAGES? SOME CHURCHES WOULD SAY, 15:53 'SURE, WHAT'S WRONG WITH THAT? JESUS DRANK WINE.' 15:55 IT WAS NOT ALCOHOLIC, IT WAS GRAPE JUICE. 15:58 THE BIBLE SAYS - PROVERBS 21 - AND THE BIBLE DOESN'T 16:00 CONTRADICT ITSELF - "WINE IS A MOCKER, STRONG DRINK 16:06 IS RAGING" - IT'S TALKING ABOUT FERMENTED WINE HERE 16:09 - "AND WHOEVER IS DECEIVED THEREBY IS NOT WISE." 16:12 THE BIBLE SAYS 'GIVE WINE TO HIM THAT IS READY TO 16:15 PERISH.' THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT NOAH DRANK WINE 16:19 AND HE STUMBLED AROUND NAKED AND SOMETHING 16:21 EMBARRASSING HAPPENED. LOT'S DAUGHTERS GAVE THEIR 16:25 FATHER WINE AND HE SLEPT WITH HIS DAUGHTERS. 16:29 GOOD THINGS DO NOT HAPPEN WHEN PEOPLE DRINK ALCOHOL. 16:32 CHRISTIANS SHOULD NOT UNDERWRITE THAT. 16:34 AND YOU MIGHT BE SAYING, 'PASTOR DOUG, I JUST HAVE, 16:35 YOU KNOW, A LITTLE BIT OF WINE ONCE A WEEK. 16:38 JUST A LITTLE - I HAVE NO PROBLEM - I DON'T HAVE 16:40 A DRINKING PROBLEM.' THAT MAY BE, BUT ARE YOU AWARE 16:44 THAT ONE OUT OF SEVEN PEOPLE DOES HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM? 16:46 ALCOHOL IS ADDICTIVE. DO WE ALL KNOW THAT? 16:50 SOME PEOPLE - IT JUST WRECKS THEIR LIVES. 16:52 IT WRECKS THEIR MARRIAGES. 16:54 IT WRECKS THEIR CAREERS. IT WRECKS THEIR HEALTH. 16:57 THERE WILL BE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN THAT SMOKED. 17:00 I WANT TO MAKE IT CLEAR. THERE ARE GOING TO BE 17:02 PEOPLE THAT DRANK ALCOHOL - MARTIN LUTHER DRANK BEER. 17:04 I DON'T THINK THEY UNDERSTOOD BACK THEN WHAT 17:06 WE UNDERSTAND. THE MAN WHO WROTE AMAZING 17:08 GRACE, JOHN NEWTON, HE SMOKED. DO YOU KNOW, BACK WHEN HE 17:11 SMOKED, DOCTORS ACTUALLY PRESCRIBED TOBACCO FOR ASTHMA. 17:15 CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT? HOW MANY OF YOU KNEW THAT? 17:19 YEAH, BUT WE KNOW BETTER NOW. 17:23 CIGARETTES ARE THE NUMBER TWO LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH 17:27 - PREVENTABLE CAUSE OF DEATH - IN NORTH AMERICA - 17:30 TOBACCO. IT MAKES YOU PREMATURELY AGE. 17:33 IT'LL MAKE YOUR VOICE RASPY AND MAKES YOUR 17:36 CLOTHES SMELL FUNNY. TOBACCO - THERE'S 17:40 NOTHING GOOD ABOUT IT. THERE'S NO NUTRITIONAL 17:41 VALUE AND IT COSTS A FORTUNE. 17:43 WHEN I WAS A KID IT WAS TWENTY-FIVE CENTS A PACK. 17:46 MAN, I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT PEOPLE PAY FOR A PACK OF 17:48 CIGARETTES NOW. YOU CAN BUY A NEW CAR AFTER 17:50 QUITTING FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS. (LAUGHTER) ARE THE BIBLE 17:54 HEALTH PRINCIPLES STILL PRACTICAL TODAY? 17:57 NOW WE'RE GOING TO GO THROUGH A LIST OF SEVERAL 17:58 BIBLE PRINCIPLES AND THESE ARE HEALTH PRINCIPLES AND 18:02 YOU ARE GOING TO BE SURPRISED HOW MUCH OF THE 18:04 WORLD, NOW, IS REALIZING THESE ARE BASIC HEALTH 18:06 LAWS - THEY'RE ALL IN THE BIBLE. 18:09 FIRST OF ALL, QUARANTINE PROCEDURES CONTROL 18:12 CONTAGIOUS DISEASE. WITH THIS EBOLA 18:17 DISCUSSION, WHAT ARE THEY TALKING ABOUT? 18:19 LOOK AT THE INCREDIBLE LENGTHS THEY'RE GOING TO 18:22 TO MAINTAIN A STERILE ENVIRONMENT AND QUARANTINE 18:25 PROCEDURES. IN THE BIBLE, GOD GAVE THAT. 18:28 HE SAID IF SOMEONE IS UNCLEAN, THEY NEED TO 18:29 WASH, THEY NEED TO STAY OUTSIDE THE CAMP, THEY'RE 18:31 CONTAGIOUS - THERE'S ALL KINDS OF LAWS ABOUT CONTAGION. 18:34 THEY UNDERSTOOD THIS IN THE BIBLE. 18:36 NUMBER TWO - BASIC THING, AGAIN, CONNECTED WITH 18:39 EBOLA - IF THESE THINGS WERE BEING PRACTICED IN 18:41 SOME OF THE COUNTRIES - IT SAYS HUMAN BODY WASTE 18:45 SHOULD BE BURIED. NOW, I KNOW, IT MAY NOT BE 18:49 PLEASANT TO THINK ABOUT THAT, BUT IF YOU'VE 18:51 TRAVELED - MANY PARTS OF THE WORLD I GO TO, EVEN 18:54 IN BIG CITIES, THEY STILL DON'T HAVE REGULAR 18:57 SANITATION AND - I KNOW, IT WOULD SHOCK YOU. 19:01 AND I WON'T NAME THOSE COUNTRIES BECAUSE I DON'T 19:03 WANT TO OFFEND ANYBODY NOW, BUT WAY BACK IN THE 19:05 BIBLE, EVEN GOING THROUGH THE DESERT, GOD GAVE THEM 19:07 CERTAIN RULES ABOUT THAT. C - WASHING - REGULAR 19:12 WASHING OF THE BODY AND CLOTHING CONTROLS GERMS. 19:15 YOU KNOW, THAT'S IN THE BIBLE? 19:17 THEY HAD TO REGULARLY WASH. 19:18 EVEN AS THEY WENT THROUGH THE WILDERNESS, GOD ALWAYS 19:20 MADE SURE THEY HAD A WATER SUPPLY. 19:23 MOSES WOULD STRIKE THE ROCK AND WATER WOULD RUN 19:25 OUT AND THIS RIVER SEEMED TO BE REPRODUCED AND 19:27 FOLLOWED THEM WHEREVER THEY WENT IN THEIR JOURNEYS 19:29 SO THEY COULD NOT ONLY DRINK, BUT SO THEY COULD WASH. 19:33 AND FREQUENTLY IT TALKED ABOUT WASHING. 19:35 THE BIBLE TELLS US THAT A LOT OF DISEASE COULD ALSO 19:38 BE PREVENTED, AS WE KNOW TODAY, BY MORAL LIVING. 19:42 IT PREVENTS SEXUAL DISEASES. LEVITICUS 18; PROVERBS 5, 19:47 VERSES 1 THROUGH 12 AND MANY OTHER VERSES. 19:49 THERE ARE A NUMBER OF SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED 19:52 DISEASES AND SOME PEOPLE HAVE RECEIVED FATAL 19:56 INFECTIONS BECAUSE OF IMMORAL LIFESTYLE. 20:00 ANSWER E - ANOTHER BIBLE PRINCIPLE ABOUT HEALTH - 20:03 ANIMAL FAT SHOULD NOT BE EATEN - NOT ONLY FAT, BUT BLOOD. 20:08 YOU KNOW, DISEASE CAN BE 20:10 TRANSFERRED FROM ANIMAL TO ANIMAL. 20:11 YOU DON'T CATCH A DISEASE FROM A PLANT. - 20:13 YOU MIGHT GET POISON IVY - BUT DISEASE CAN BE TRANSFERRED 20:16 FROM ANIMAL TO ANIMAL AND HE SAYS WE SHOULD NOT EAT BLOOD. 20:20 BY THE WAY, NEW TESTAMENT/OLD TESTAMENT, 20:22 BOTH SAY BLOOD IS FORBIDDEN. 20:24 ACTS 15 - READ IT YOURSELF - NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. 20:27 SOME PEOPLE SAY, 'THESE ARE OLD TESTAMENT LAWS.' 20:29 IT'S REPEATED IN THE NEW TESTAMENT. 20:31 F - ANOTHER PRINCIPLE - HATRED AND BITTERNESS IS 20:34 DETRIMENTAL TO ONE'S HEALTH. 20:36 SOME PEOPLE ARE SICK, NOT JUST BECAUSE OF WHAT 20:38 THEY'RE EATING, BUT BECAUSE OF WHAT'S EATING THEM. 20:41 AND HAVING ANGER AND BITTERNESS IN YOUR HEART - 20:45 STRESS - IT REALLY DOES CAUSE HEALTH PROBLEMS. 20:49 G - PROVERBS TALKS ABOUT OVEREATING IS BAD FOR YOUR 20:52 HEALTH. (LAUGHTER) IT'S ONE THING 20:54 TO EAT HONEY, IT SAYS DON'T EAT TOO MUCH. 20:57 AND YOU CAN EVEN EAT TOO MUCH OF GOOD THINGS. 21:00 AND SUMO WRESTLERS USUALLY DON'T DIE OF OLD AGE 21:05 BECAUSE IT'S JUST, OBVIOUSLY, NOT GOOD. 21:09 H - OUR BODIES NEED PROPER REST. 21:12 PSALMS 127, VERSE 2 AND MARK 6:31 - THE SABBATH IS 21:17 ALL ABOUT THAT - GETTING PLENTY OF SLEEP. 21:20 ANSWER I - THE IMPORTANCE OF WORK. 21:24 NOT ONLY DOES IT SAY REST THE SEVENTH DAY, IT SAYS 21:26 SIX DAYS THOU SHALT WHAT? WORK. ANSWER J - A POSITIVE 21:32 ATTITUDE IS GOOD MEDICINE. THE LORD WANTS US TO HAVE 21:35 GOOD ATTI - A HAPPY HEART IS GOOD LIKE A MEDICINE. 21:38 AND EVEN WHEN I TEACH SOME OF THESE DIFFICULT TRUTHS, 21:40 YOU KNOW, I THINK WE SOMETIMES NEED TO BE ABLE 21:42 TO SMILE BECAUSE LIFE IS TOUGH ENOUGH. 21:46 IS GOD CONCERNED WITH OUR PHYSICAL HEALTH? 21:49 'I THINK GOD'S ONLY CONCERNED WITH SPIRITUAL 21:50 THINGS.' IS THAT WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES? 21:53 MATTHEW 4:23, "AND JESUS WENT ABOUT ALL GALILEE, 21:58 TEACHING IN THEIR SYNAGOGUES, AND PREACHING 22:00 THE GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM, AND" - DOING WHAT? 22:03 >>HEALING. >>"HEALING ALL MANNER OF 22:05 SICKNESS AND ALL MANNER OF DISEASE AMONG THE PEOPLE." 22:09 DOES THE LORD CARE ABOUT OUR HEALTH? 22:12 >>YES. >>YES. AND HE, MANY TIMES, WILL 22:14 MIRACULOUSLY HEAL PEOPLE. SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES 22:18 JUST BECAUSE OF GENETICS, SOMETIMES SICKNESS COMES 22:20 BECAUSE YOU'RE EXPOSED TO SOMEONE ELSE WHO IS SICK, 22:22 THERE MIGHT BE SOME ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM BUT, 22:24 YOU KNOW, THE MAJORITY OF SICKNESS IN OUR COUNTRY IS 22:28 SELF-INDUCED BECAUSE OF LIFESTYLE. 22:32 YOU KNOW WHY THERE'S A HEALTH-CARE CRISIS AND THE 22:35 MEDICAL INSTITUTIONS ARE BANKRUPT AND SO EXPENSIVE? 22:38 BECAUSE OF OUR LIFESTYLES, IN PARTICULAR IN THE 22:41 WESTERN CULTURES, BECAUSE THE RICH LIFE, THE LACK OF 22:44 EXERCISE, AND THE ABUNDANCE, PEOPLE ARE 22:46 BRINGING ON DISEASES EARLY IN LIFE AND THEN THEY ARE 22:49 STRUGGLING WITH THESE DISEASES FOR MANY YEARS 22:51 AND IT'S CAUSING CATASTROPHIC EXPENSES. 22:55 WE'D BE ABLE TO PUT A LOT OF HOSPITALS OUT OF 22:57 BUSINESS IF WE'D JUST FOLLOW THE BIBLE. 23:00 3 JOHN 2, "BELOVED, I WISH ABOVE ALL THINGS" - GOD 23:04 SAYS, 'ABOVE ALL THINGS.' - "THAT YOU MAY" - WHAT? 23:08 - "PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH," - HOW? "JUST AS YOUR 23:12 SOUL PROSPERS." SO WHAT KIND OF LEVEL 23:15 DOES HE PUT IT ON? 'I WANT HEALTH - PHYSICAL 23:17 PROSPERITY - AND I WANT SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY. 23:20 NOW, IF YOU CAN ONLY PICK ONE, PICK THE SPIRITUAL 23:22 BECAUSE WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF YOU HAVE PERFECT HEALTH 23:24 AND YOU'RE A TERRIBLE SINNER? 23:26 IT'S NOT GOING TO SAVE YOU FOR ETERNITY. 23:27 BUT GOD SAYS, 'YOU KNOW, WHEN YOU'VE TAKEN CARE OF 23:29 THE SPIRIT, MAKE SURE AND TAKE CARE OF THE BODY 23:31 BECAUSE HAVING YOUR MIND CLEAR AND YOUR BODY 23:34 HEALTHY MAKES IT EASIER TO SERVE GOD - 23:37 TO RESIST THE DEVIL AND DO GOD'S WILL. 23:39 ANOTHER ONE - JOHN 10:10 - IT SAYS, "...I HAVE COME 23:44 THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE, AND" - AND WHAT KIND OF 23:46 LIFE DOES HE WANT US TO HAVE? - "...MORE ABUNDANTLY." 23:49 YOU SEE THE FELLOW IN THAT PICTURE? 23:51 HIS NAME WAS BANANA GEORGE. 23:53 HE IS SKIING BAREFOOT - I'VE DONE THAT. 23:56 THAT IS VERY, VERY HARD FOR A YOUNG MAN TO DO - HE 23:59 IS, I THINK, 80 YEARS OLD IN THIS PICTURE. 24:01 HE CONTINUED SKIING UNTIL 92 - DIDN'T EVEN START 24:04 SKIING UNTIL HE WAS IN HIS FORTIES - HE LOVED BANANAS 24:07 AND THAT'S WHY HE ALWAYS WORE YELLOW. 24:09 HE PASSED AWAY WAY UP IN HIS 90S IN 2013, BUT I 24:13 ALWAYS WAS FASCINATED BY THAT PICTURE. 24:15 HERE'S A PICTURE SOMEONE JUST GAVE ME THIS YEAR. 24:17 THIS IS SOMEONE - KAREN AND I WERE PASTORS OF THIS 24:20 CHURCH IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND ONE SISTER, 24:23 LAST TIME WE SAW HER SHE WAS 106. 24:25 AT THE TIME OF THIS ARTICLE - SHE PASSED AWAY 24:27 SINCE - SHE WAS 111 THEN. AND I REMEMBER I SAT WITH 24:31 HER AND HER BROTHER-IN-LAW AND HIS WIFE - HER NAME 24:35 WAS VIOLA COOK - IN THEIR HOME AND I WOULD EAT WITH THEM. 24:38 THEY HAD DELICIOUS VEGETARIAN FOOD - SHE WAS A VEGETARIAN 24:40 HER WHOLE LIFE. AND I REMEMBER HER 24:42 BROTHER-IN-LAW - I USED TO SAY, 'ART, HOW DO YOU GUYS 24:45 HAVE SUCH GREAT HEALTH AND STRENGTH?' 24:47 HERE I WAS A YOUNG WHIPPERSNAPPER - I'D TRY 24:48 AND DO WORK FOR THEM - I COULDN'T KEEP UP WITH THEM. 24:50 AND I NOTICED HE PUSHED AWAY FROM THE TABLE. 24:52 I SAID, 'YOU'RE DONE EATING?' 24:54 HE SAID, 'HERE'S THE SECRET TO LIFE, DOUG. 24:56 STOP EATING WHILE YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE HUNGRY. 24:59 WAKE UP WHEN YOU'RE STILL A LITTLE TIRED. 25:02 AND STOP TALKING WHEN YOU STILL HAVE SOMETHING LEFT 25:04 TO SAY. (LAUGHTER) SO THAT'S THE SECRET TO HAPPINESS IN LIFE. 25:09 WHY IS OUR HEALTH SO IMPORTANT TO GOD? 25:12 1 CORINTHIANS 6:19, "...YOUR BODY" - AND VERSE 25:17 20 - "IS THE" - WHAT? >>THE TEMPLE. 25:19 >>"THE TEMPLE OF THE HOLY SPIRIT...THEREFORE GLORIFY 25:24 GOD IN YOUR BODY AND IN YOUR SPIRIT, WHICH ARE GOD'S." 25:28 AGAIN, ROMANS 12:1, "...PRESENT YOUR BODY A 25:32 LIVING SACRIFICE" - HOW? - "HOLY AND ACCEPTABLE 25:36 TO GOD, WHICH IS YOUR REASONABLE SERVICE." 25:39 GOD SAYS, 'LOOK, YOU'VE BEEN - YOU'RE MADE IN 25:41 GOD'S IMAGE, YOU BELONG TO GOD, YOU ARE TO PRESENT, 25:46 NOT JUST YOUR SPIRIT, BUT PRESENT YOUR BODY - YOU 25:49 KNOW, WE WORSHIP GOD, NOT JUST WITH OUR MINDS, WE 25:51 WORSHIP GOD WITH OUR LIVES AND WHETHER YOU EAT OR 25:55 DRINK, WHATEVER YOU DO, DO ALL TO THE GLORY OF GOD. 25:59 ♪♪♪ 26:02 ANNOUNCER: DON'T FORGET TO REQUEST TODAY'S 26:05 LIFE-CHANGING FREE RESOURCE. 26:06 NOT ONLY CAN YOU RECEIVE THIS FREE GIFT IN THE MAIL, YOU CAN 26:09 DOWNLOAD A DIGITAL COPY STRAIGHT TO YOUR COMPUTER 26:11 OR MOBILE DEVICE. 26:13 TO GET YOUR DIGITAL COPY OF TODAY'S FREE GIFT, SIMPLY TEXT 26:15 THE KEYWORD ON YOUR SCREEN TO 40544 OR VISIT THE WEB ADDRESS 26:20 SHOWN ON YOUR SCREEN. 26:22 AND BE SURE TO SELECT THE DIGITAL DOWNLOAD OPTION 26:24 ON THE REQUEST PAGE. 26:26 IT'S NOW EASIER THAN EVER FOR YOU TO STUDY GOD'S WORD WITH 26:28 AMAZING FACTS WHEREVER AND WHENEVER YOU WANT, 26:32 AND MOST IMPORTANT, TO SHARE IT WITH OTHERS. 26:36 DOUG: HELLO FRIENDS, PASTOR DOUG BATCHELOR HERE 26:38 WITH AMAZING FACTS. 26:40 WHEN SUSAN'S AND MICHAEL'S WHIRLWIND RELATIONSHIP 26:43 LED TO A WEDDING, 26:44 THEY HAD NO IDEA HOW HARD MARRIED LIFE COULD BE. 26:47 BEFORE THEY KNEW IT THEY WERE ON THE STORMY PATH 26:50 TOWARDS DIVORCE, BUT THAT'S WHEN GOD LED THEM 26:53 TO AN AMAZING FACTS BROADCAST. 26:55 AND THERE THEY SAW THE BIBLICAL VIEW OF MARRIAGE 26:58 AS PRESENTED IN KNOWING JESUS. 27:01 FINALLY, THEY UNDERSTOOD WHAT IT MEANT TO LOVE SACRIFICIALLY 27:03 LIKE CHRIST AND TODAY, SUSAN AND MICHAEL ARE JOYFULLY MARRIED 27:08 SHARING WHAT THEY LEARNED WITH OTHERS. 27:10 NOW YOU, FRIEND, HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP SOMEONE 27:13 TODAY AND TO MAKE AN ETERNAL DIFFERENCE FOR MORE PEOPLE 27:16 LIKE MICHAEL AND SUSAN. 27:18 YOUR SIMPLE INVESTMENT OF FAITH IN AMAZING FACTS WILL KEEP 27:21 GROWING AND REACHING MORE PEOPLE WITH GOD'S LIFE-CHANGING WORD. 27:26 WOULD YOU PRAYERFULLY CONSIDER SENDING A GIFT TODAY 27:28 TO HELP OTHERS KNOW CHRIST AND THE WONDERFUL TRUTH 27:31 THAT YOU'VE LEARNED? 27:33 AND IT'S EASY TO MAKE A DONATION. 27:34 GIVE US A CALL AT 877-506-1751. 27:40 THE NUMBER AGAIN 877-506-1751 OR JUST VISIT 27:47 GIVE.AMAZINGFACTS.ORG, OR SEND YOUR GIFT 27:51 TO P.O.
