00:46 Hello and welcome back to 3ABN Spring Camp Meeting.
00:50 We have a great audience here today. 00:52 Look like you're all happy in the Lord, right? 00:55 If you're happy let me hear, you say, amen. Amen. 00:58 Wow! You could hear that without a microphone 01:01 out around the country, that's great, 01:03 that's absolutely incredible. 01:04 We do have a wonderful group 01:06 and we appreciate all of you at home 01:08 around the world watching. 01:09 And we know many of you would like to be here 01:11 and you couldn't for various reasons. 01:13 But you're here today, it's a wonderful Sabbath. 01:17 The weather is beautiful just like I told you all right? 01:19 It's about 72 degrees, how can you beat it. 01:22 And the Sun is shining outside, 01:24 but more importantly there is sunshine inside today, 01:27 it's the S-O-N, right? 01:29 Sunshine, God's love, Jesus' love. 01:32 Today, I'm most excited 01:33 about what we're getting ready to do. 01:35 This brand new project called "Love Rules." 01:38 And I want to explain it for just a little bit. 01:41 Here's the CD cover then we have DVDs also. 01:45 But this project came as I think as a result of us 01:48 doing the Pillars of our Faith for many of the doctrines 01:53 that we believe as Christians 01:54 and in particularly Seventh-day Adventist. 01:57 And what I've found out is 01:58 children seem to really catch on to this 02:01 and lot of the children, 02:02 Jim said, his grandchildren, 02:04 mine and others were singing some of these songs. 02:07 And a few months ago, 02:08 in fact last fall is just like the Lord gave me a burden, 02:12 we needed to do "Pillars" type project 02:15 music for young people. 02:17 So I don't know what else to do 02:19 and it was like when the Lord impressed me with 3ABN, 02:21 I said, "All right, I'll just go forward 02:23 and you supply the need." 02:24 So I began to pray about it 02:26 and it seem like day after day, 02:27 the Lord would just give me new thoughts 02:29 and new ideas for songs 02:31 that would be a blessing to young people around the world. 02:34 Because as I mention last night Satan is about steal, 02:37 kill and destroy. 02:39 Satan literally, the secular world is taken over media 02:43 that we should be the heads and not the tails. 02:46 And our young people are so distracted, 02:49 we need to counteract to counterfeit 02:51 and give our young people tools something they'll enjoy, 02:55 something that makes them happy. 02:58 Not just video games, 02:59 but something-- sometime in church, 03:01 we think we have to just look like so, 03:03 you know, but I think we should be the happiest, 03:05 excited people on planet Earth, don't you? 03:08 And I believe that our young people 03:10 should be raised in an atmosphere 03:12 that's a happy, very, very happy atmosphere, 03:16 because if we're not happy at home, 03:18 we can't be at happy at church, 03:19 and if we're not happy at home and church, 03:21 we're not gonna be happy anywhere else. 03:23 Doesn't mean everything as I say barrel the fern 03:26 and roses and all of that, 03:27 but we should be happy in the Lord. 03:29 So I said we need something 03:31 that will get young peoples attention 03:33 that will reach out to them in this day and age 03:36 and what would that be CDs and DVDs. 03:40 And so we decided to do this project. 03:43 I begin to write songs, the very last one I wrote. 03:47 It was for some reason 03:49 the Lord just impressed me with it 03:51 and we entitled it "Love Rules!" 03:55 because that is the rule of the universe. 03:57 It may not seem like it today but it is. 04:00 God's love is what rules this universe. 04:03 So I solicited Brenda Walsh, 04:06 who better if I'm gonna work with young people, right? 04:09 Miss. Brenda said, "I'll do anything 04:11 and everything you need me to do." 04:12 She gathered young people together, 04:14 organize the sync, work with Dr. Yvonne Lewis 04:17 to do backup parts for the children 04:19 to learn how to do their parts. 04:21 And so Dr. Bob Ford out in Washington State 04:25 said that he would sponsor this project for us. 04:28 And the list goes go on, and on 04:30 and I'll try to give some of the credit 04:31 to the earthly folks, but mainly 04:34 what we want to give credit to is our Lord Jesus Christ, 04:37 because He is our supreme provider 04:40 and He really is the executive producer 04:42 of projects ike this. 04:43 So what we're gonna do, we've been talking about it 04:46 all through camp meeting. 04:47 So this morning we have a chance to do it, 04:49 we pre-taped it, so we wouldn't put 04:51 a lot of pressure on the kids, lot of pressure on me, 04:54 lot of pressure on all of you. 04:56 And you know how that goes when you have a lot of kids 04:58 and lot of music and everybody involves, 05:00 so we pre-taped it her just few weeks ago. 05:03 And so we're gonna start out the first song. 05:05 And I thought maybe one of the most important ones, 05:08 the Lord gave me was 05:09 "Love God and keep His Commandments." 05:11 And so many of us, and I begin to ask people around 3ABN. 05:16 And people I would meet, 05:17 can you recite the Ten Commandments? 05:18 Well, if anybody should know the Ten Commandments, 05:20 Seventh-day Adventist, right? 05:22 That's right. I'm surprise. 05:23 I'm not gonna ask you to raise your hands 05:25 how many of you could recite the Ten Commandments? 05:28 And I got quite I noticed that. 05:30 Some of you looked away, we were looking, 05:32 we were locking eyes till then, 05:33 you kind of looked away. 05:36 I'm not gonna ask you how many? 05:37 But when do we need to be teaching our young people? 05:40 When they're little, right? 05:41 When they're very, very young. 05:43 So this first song we want to go to this right now 05:46 it says, "Love God and keep His commandments." 05:59 Love God and keep His commandments 06:04 This is the duty of man 06:08 Fear God and keep His commandments 06:13 They are His gift to man 06:17 Love the Lord with all your heart 06:21 And love your neighbor as yourself 06:26 Blessed are they that do His commandments 06:30 These are the children of God 06:41 The loves of God are His promises 06:45 To guide and protect us from sin 06:49 The love of God is everlasting With no beginning or end 06:59 Love the Lord with all your heart 07:02 And love your neighbor as yourself 07:07 Blessed are they that do His commandments 07:12 These are the Children of God 07:18 Exodus 20 verses 1 to 17, Commandment 1, 07:23 "I am the Lord your God, 07:25 who brought you out of the land of Egypt, 07:28 out of the house of bondage. 07:30 You shall have no other gods before Me." 07:33 Commandment 2, "You shall not make for yourself 07:36 a carved image, any likeness of anything 07:39 that is in heaven above 07:40 or that is in the earth beneath, 07:41 or that is in the water under the earth, 07:44 you shall not bow down to them nor serve them, 07:46 for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, 07:49 visiting the iniquity of the fathers 07:51 upon the children to the third and fourth generation 07:54 of those who hate me and showing mercy to thousands 07:57 to those who love me and keep My commandments." 08:00 Commandment 3, "You shall not take 08:02 name of the Lord your God in vain, 08:04 for the Lord will not hold him guiltless 08:07 who takes His names in vain." 08:09 Commandment 4, "Remember the Sabbath day, 08:12 to keep it holy. 08:13 Six days you shall labour, and do all your work. 08:16 But the seventh day is the Sabbath 08:18 of the Lord your God, in it you shall do no work, 08:21 you, nor your son, nor your daughter, 08:24 your male servant, your female servant, 08:27 nor your cattle, nor your stranger 08:29 who is within your gates. 08:30 For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, 08:34 the sea, and all that is in them 08:36 and rested the seventh day. 08:38 Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day, 08:40 and hallowed it." 08:42 Commandment 5, "Honor your father and your mother, 08:45 that your days may be long upon the land 08:49 which the Lord your God is giving you." 08:52 Commandment 6, "You shall not murder." 08:55 Commandment 7, "You shall not commit adultery." 08:59 Commandment 8, "You shall not steal." 09:02 Commandment 9, "You shall not bear 09:04 false witness against your neighbor." 09:07 Commandment 10, "You shall not covet anything 09:10 that is your neighbor's." 09:14 Love the Lord with all your heart 09:17 And love your neighbor as yourself 09:22 Blessed are they that do His commandments 09:27 These are the children of God These are the children of God 09:35 These are the children of God 09:52 Amen. Praise the Lord. 09:54 I was raised in an era and maybe lots of you were 09:58 in 50s or so and my parents were wonderful Christians. 10:01 But there was quite a bit of legalism in our home. 10:04 And I think lot of-- without any ignorance 10:05 they loved he Lord. 10:06 But there was an awful lot of do's and don'ts. 10:09 There're still are things 10:11 and we didn't really understand 10:12 the relationship with the Lord, 10:14 real relationship, I personally didn't, 10:16 I know my parents did 10:17 but I didn't till later on in life. 10:20 And so the next song that Lord gave me, 10:24 I think kind of, lot of people will say, 10:26 "Oh, you know, Seventh-day Adventists, 10:28 they just think they're saved 10:29 by keeping the Commandments." 10:30 Well, this next song brings balance to that. 10:33 It's entitled "Jesus is the key 10:35 to heaven only He unlocks the door." 10:38 And it talks about 10:39 our personal relationship with Jesus. 10:41 And so therefore it rules out any other way 10:43 to get to heaven, right? 10:44 When you say, "Jesus is the key 10:46 only He unlocks the door." 10:48 Okay, now, now what you're gonna say. 10:51 All right but keeping the commandments 10:53 we say, we shouldn't be hearers of the word, 10:55 but doers also. 10:57 So it's a balance that some people 10:59 seem to fall out of the boat. 11:01 And as we always say, "The devil doesn't care 11:03 which side of the boa you fall out off 11:05 just long as you fall out." 11:06 So this song is the song the Lord gave me, 11:10 "Jesus is the key to heaven," and it helps young people 11:13 and all of us understand who we are and who God is? 11:26 Jesus is the key to heaven Heaven, heaven 11:34 Jesus is the key to heaven Only He unlocks the door 11:41 The Bible tells us in Acts Chapter 4 verses 10 to 12. 11:46 That the only way we can be saved 11:48 and enter heaven is by believing on the name 11:51 of the Lord Jesus Christ of Nazareth, 11:54 who is the chief cornerstone of our faith. 11:57 Let's read it Acts 4:12, 12:00 "Nor is there salvation in any other, 12:03 for there is no other name under heaven 12:05 given among men by which we must be saved." 12:08 Jesus is the key to heaven Heaven, heaven 12:16 Jesus is the key to heaven Only He unlocks the door 12:23 The Bible also said in Romans 3:23, 12:26 "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." 12:30 And in Roman 6:23, it says, 12:33 "For the wages of sin is death, 12:35 but the gift of God is eternal life 12:38 in Christ Jesus our Lord." 12:43 Jesus is the key to heaven Heaven, heaven 12:50 Jesus is the key to heaven Only He unlocks the door 12:58 Boys and girls, here's the good news 13:00 found in First John 1:9, "If we confess our sins, 13:04 He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins 13:07 and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." 13:13 Jesus is the key to heaven Heaven, heaven 13:21 Jesus is the key to heaven Only He unlocks the door 13:28 John 3:16, "For God so loved the world 13:32 that He gave His only begotten Son, 13:34 that whosoever believeth in Him 13:37 should not perish but have everlasting life." 13:43 Jesus is the key to heaven Heaven, heaven 13:51 Jesus is the key to heaven Only He unlocks the door 13:58 Only He unlocks the door Only He unlocks the door 14:14 All right. 14:16 I'm gonna quickly go over a list of names 14:18 of the young people that you see up there. 14:20 We have Daniel Babb from the local area here. 14:24 Ferra Berry is also here locally. 14:26 Samara Bauden or Bowden, I'm sorry, Samara Bowden. 14:31 Kelley Chance is here, my sister's granddaughter. 14:35 Caleb Denzy and of course, Johnny Natalya Denzy 14:39 and Mario Henriquez, this little girl this side. 14:43 She gets to me when I watch her 14:44 she has so much joy and so much expression 14:48 that I find myself always with a big smile 14:50 when you watch Mario sing. 14:53 Lucy Garger, she's from here locally. 14:56 Jamie Henderson, Shelby Hughes, 14:58 Justin and Noah Mundal, the grandsons, 15:01 two of my grandsons. 15:03 Trinity Murray, who is precious little girl 15:06 that I love with all my heart. 15:07 And Ruzel Tumana, 15:10 Ruzel and she's the other little girl, 15:12 the youngest two and these two girls, 15:14 they both, I don't care when they're not on camera 15:18 they're smiling and just as happy 15:20 and show just as much expression. 15:22 They are such a joy to be around. 15:24 And so in between song 15:26 I had the privilege of cutting up with them a little bit, 15:29 and they've got quite a sense of humor too, 15:30 but I found out they're too smart for me 15:32 so I didn't try to, try to go into anything deep with them. 15:36 Because whatever I want to do about 15:39 whether it'd be music or anything else 15:40 they've studied a lot more than I have, 15:42 so I just try to keep it on a very young level. 15:47 Okay, then we had Holly Thompson 15:49 came from the Grand Caymans and Tierra Walker, 15:53 who is my brother's granddaughter. 15:55 And of course, Bradley and Beverly Bradley 15:57 is a director here and is their daughter Tierra. 15:59 So that's a list of some of the young people 16:02 who are taking part in this project 16:04 and I just said, you know, what? 16:06 We give these songs to each of the kids 16:08 if you really like these, if you wanna do them. 16:11 No one is required to do anything, 16:13 if you wanna be a part of this 16:14 you really have to work at it, you have to learn the songs. 16:17 And virtually every one of them did 16:19 and they came here and we did this in one day. 16:22 We started at about 9:30 or 10:00 16:24 had some technical problems that you that can do 16:28 when you have such a huge group. 16:30 And so by 1 O'clock 16:32 or so we only had two songs done 16:34 and I, someone had to leave in that evening 16:38 and I said there is no way. 16:39 So we prayed about it and Brenda Walsh assured me, 16:41 we'll have them done by 5:30, 16:43 they won't even be later tonight and we were. 16:46 And this thing the Lord just continue to bless 16:49 and one song after another. 16:51 The next song is a song 16:53 that's very difficult for young people 16:55 it was for me to wrap my mind around. 16:57 I would go to church 16:58 and I would hear sermons on the trinity. 17:01 But the trinity tried to explain 17:03 to a 7, 8, 9 and 10 years old about the trinity. 17:06 And it's a pretty tough subject 17:08 to really to deal with. 17:10 And so several months ago, 17:11 the Lord impressed me to write a song 17:13 about the trinity and I wasn't so sure 17:16 how I could do it if these were possible 17:19 then I think two or three nights later 17:21 I came over here to one of our anchors of faith 17:23 and Ty Gibson was here, 17:25 he was giving a sermon on the trinity. 17:27 And I said, "Okay, this must be of the Lord." 17:29 So we'll go home and Lord help me 17:31 to get this together to put it in a way 17:33 that young people can understand it 17:36 and maybe some of us older folks too. 17:38 Sometimes we try to read too deeply in the things. 17:42 And I'm glad that the gospel is simple, 17:43 it really is. 17:44 Otherwise it wouldn't be fair, 17:46 only the smart people could go to heaven, right? 17:48 So it really is simple 17:51 but sometimes we try to make things too difficult. 17:54 So this is the song that the way we finished it 17:57 and we believe the Lord gave it to us 17:59 entitle "The Trinity." 18:07 God the Father, Holy Spirit, 18:11 Jesus Christ the Son 18:17 They are three, yet they are one 18:21 The Father sent His Son to Earth 18:23 where He was born as human birth 18:27 The Holy Spirit given by the Son 18:31 They are three yet they are one 18:37 The circle of love within the three 18:39 brings salvation to you and me. 18:42 It's all part of a heavenly plan 18:44 to forgive and restore a sinful man. 18:50 God the Father God the Father 18:52 Holy Spirit Holy Spirit 18:54 Jesus Christ the Son Jesus Christ the Son 19:00 They are three yet they are one 19:04 The Father sent His Son to Earth 19:06 where He was born of human birth 19:10 The Holy Spirit given by the Son 19:14 They are three yet they are one 19:18 The Father illuminates the Son and through His death 19:22 since victory has been won. 19:24 The Holy Spirit works within our lives 19:27 to renew God's love in our hearts and minds. 19:33 God the Father God the Father 19:35 Holy Spirit Holy Spirit 19:38 Jesus Christ the Son Jesus Christ the Son 19:43 They are three yet they are one 19:47 The Father sent His Son to Earth 19:49 where He was born of human birth 19:53 The Holy Spirit given by the Son 19:57 They are three yet they are one 20:02 They are three, yet they are one 20:08 Amen. All right. 20:14 Don't these young people do-- can you tell they're happy, 20:16 they're enjoying themselves? 20:18 And the balance is what it all 20:20 it's all about it as I said earlier. 20:22 It seems like that this world, 20:24 Satan tries to get everything out of balance. 20:27 And it takes our focus away from the Lord Jesus Christ. 20:32 And as Christians a lot of times 20:35 in particular lot of us 20:36 as Seventh-day Adventist Christians 20:38 we don't really seem to have the joy in our life. 20:41 You know, the song says, or the scripture says, 20:44 "Fear God," first angel's message, 20:46 "Fear God and give glory to Him 20:48 for the hour of His judgment has come." 20:49 We keep the hour of His judgment 20:51 but we sometimes forget about the first part. 20:54 Fear God and do what? 20:56 Give glory to Him. 20:57 And when people see us, 20:59 they should see Jesus shining out of us, right? 21:01 Doesn't mean we're always happy about everything 21:04 and everything is going our way, 21:05 but it doesn't have to as I've mentioned before. 21:08 We've read the back of the book 21:09 and the back of book says, "We win," right? 21:12 And so my burden for this has been 21:15 and this is a tremendous burden. 21:17 I can't even tell you, the burden that I have. 21:20 This is important to me as when the Lord said, 21:22 "I want you to build the television station 21:24 that will reach the world with an undiluted 21:26 Three Angels' messages 21:27 one that would counteract the counterfeit. 21:30 I had no idea how it would happen, 21:32 20, nearly 28 years later 21:34 this fall would be 28 years since that idea. 21:36 My brother Kenny and other people 21:38 begin to join in, so many people, 21:40 and today 3ABN is going around the world. 21:43 Just assuredly I am convinced the Lord impressed me 21:47 that our young people are being taken out away from us. 21:52 And that Satan surely desires them. 21:55 And that it's up to you and me to do something about it 21:58 and to provide them tools that will help them 22:02 to keep their eyes on Jesus Christ. 22:04 Because how many of us, probably I won't even ask, 22:07 but how many kids and grandkids 22:09 have these little DSS. 22:11 My grandkids says, "Hey I wonder 22:13 what that name means." I say, "It's Danny Shelton." 22:15 They just copied my name, 22:17 I guess that's what it is DS, I don't know. 22:19 And so they say, "Papa." 22:22 But how many of us will spend 200, $300 on these things 22:27 that are games and we'll spend all kinds of money 22:30 and let these kids listen and download things. 22:32 Now you can download songs on your phones. 22:36 And yet somehow, and I'm talking about 22:37 those of us as Christians allowing our children 22:40 to watch all kinds of programs. 22:43 But we will be responsible if we're not providing 22:46 and placing the tools in their hands. 22:49 Not just what we tell them. 22:51 We can't depend on our school and our school teachers. 22:54 We can't depend on others. 22:55 We have to depend on ourselves as parents and grandparents 22:58 and great-grandparents that is our responsibility 23:02 to see that these kids understand 23:05 and know who Jesus Christ is and know how to get to heaven 23:09 and so anytime we have tool. 23:12 So that's why I'm excited about this project. 23:14 I could talk about it for a longtime 23:16 and you probably hear about it, 23:18 because I really feel this is something 23:20 teaching our young children these doctrines 23:23 and how to give their lives to Jesus. 23:25 And I was talking about the joy, 23:27 Christmas day, I'd had maybe five or six, 23:30 seven of these songs written this past Christmas. 23:32 And I went in to my computer where I do write songs 23:37 and I looked at some of the other songs, 23:38 this Christmas morning early. 23:40 And something hit me about the joy of Jesus 23:44 and I said, wow, "Joy was born." 23:46 And I said, that's the song, that's got to be a song. 23:49 Joy, this thought came to me. 23:50 Joy was born this Christmas Morn. 23:53 And so we understand and not getting 23:55 into all of the December 25th. 23:58 It makes no difference what day it is. 24:00 But the fact that Jesus was born on one of these days 24:03 that what's important, right. 24:05 And that He gave His life for us here 24:07 and now He is back into heaven 24:09 ever interceding at the right hand of the Father 24:12 that what's important. 24:13 And so this occurred to me joy was born, 24:16 so I said, "wow! Lord that's a song." 24:18 So I just started typing some words in. 24:21 And then all of a sudden this thought came to me 24:23 and it's so neat, I know that you understand 24:25 that some of you, if you're preaching 24:28 or doing your teaching your Sabbath lesson 24:30 or maybe you're just driving down the road. 24:32 But these thoughts will come to you 24:33 and you just say, "Thank you Lord." 24:35 Because you know that's not of you. 24:36 This thought came into my mind 24:38 before the song was even written. 24:40 The package was small but the gift was so great. Amen. 24:44 It was a baby boy that we now celebrate. Amen. 24:49 I said, "Okay, that's deep, that's from the Lord 24:51 that's not for me, that's deep." 24:53 The package was small but the gift was great. 24:55 So I said, "Lord, write this song." 24:57 This next song is entitled "Joy was Born." 25:04 Luke 2 Verses 8 through 11, 25:06 "Now there were in the same country 25:08 shepherds living out in the fields, 25:10 keeping watch over their flock by night. 25:13 And behold, an angel of the Lord 25:14 stood before them, and the glory of the Lord 25:17 shone around them, and they were greatly afraid." 25:20 "Then the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid, 25:23 for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy 25:26 which will be to all people. 25:28 For there is born to you 25:29 this day in the city of David a Savior, 25:32 who is Christ the Lord.'" 25:40 In a little town called Bethlehem 25:46 Early in the morning 25:51 In a stable just behind the inn 25:57 Joy was born Joy was born 26:06 Joy was born 26:09 On that first Christmas Morn 26:15 Joy was born Joy was born 26:20 As the Savior of the world 26:29 The king of kings from heaven above came to set us free 26:41 He died that we might live with Him for eternity 26:53 Joy was born Joy was born 26:59 On that first Christmas Morn 27:04 Joy was born Joy was born 27:10 As the Savior of the world 27:16 The package was small But the gift was so great 27:21 It was a baby boy That we now celebrate 27:27 He created the world by a spoken command 27:33 Now He holds the world in the palm of His hand 27:39 No, it wasn't just a baby boy born 27:42 that first Christmas Morn. 27:44 It was the Almighty Counselor, 27:46 Prince of peace, the Lion of Judah, 27:49 King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. 27:54 Joy was born Joy was born 27:59 On that first Christmas Morn 28:05 Joy was born Joy was born 28:11 As the Savior of the world 28:17 Joy was born Joy was born 28:22 As the Savior of the world 28:41 A few months ago I was talking to Trinity Murray 28:45 when Melody was young. 28:46 I said to Melody we should write a song. 28:48 what should we write a song about. 28:50 Together we wrote a song, 28:51 "There is Power in the Name of Jesus." 28:53 So one day, I said Trinity, 28:54 I said, "If you could write a song, 28:56 what would you write a song about?" 28:58 I like to hear young people, 28:59 you want to know where they're coming from, right? 29:01 I said, "What would you write a song about?" 29:03 And she said, "Papa, is there a song called, "He promises." 29:09 And I said, "You know, I don't think so." 29:10 But I said, "What would He promise." 29:13 And she said, "Well, He promises that He loves us." 29:17 I said, "Okay, I like that." 29:19 She goes, "He promises that we can have a happy life." 29:23 I said, "Yeah." 29:24 She goes, "And He promises that 29:26 we don't have to be afraid even in the dark." 29:28 I said, "Let's write this song." Amen. 29:30 So we sit down and wrote this song, "He promises." 29:46 He promises that He is love In First John Chapter 4 29:54 And even though we love Him lots 29:58 He loves us even more 30:02 First John 4:16, "God is love. 30:06 And he who abides in love, 30:08 abides in God, and God in him." 30:12 He promises that He is true And He will make us free 30:20 He promises eternal life In St. John Chapter 3 30:28 John 3:16, "For God so loved the world, 30:32 that He gave His only begotten Son, 30:34 that whoever believes in Him should not perish, 30:38 but have everlasting life." 30:40 He promises a happy life In St. John Chapter 10 30:48 And all we have to do is this Just trust and humble Him 30:57 John 10:10, "I have come that they may have life, 31:00 and that they may have it more abundantly." 31:04 He promises when in the night That I feel all alone 31:12 Isaiah Chapter 12 tells me He is my strength and song 31:21 Isaiah 12: 2, "I will trust and not be afraid, 31:26 for the Lord is my strength and song." 31:31 Oh, how I love Jesus Oh, how I love Jesus 31:38 Oh, how I love Jesus Because He first loved me 31:46 And even though we love Him lots 31:50 He loves us even more 32:05 That's a good song for all of us 32:07 to remember, isn't it? 32:08 No matter what, we don't have to be afraid. 32:10 The next song, for years I go to churches 32:13 and my main topic, I don't consider myself a preacher 32:17 nor the son of a preacher, but a speaker or a talker, 32:19 I talk a lot and all that. 32:21 But would be "Go Ye." 32:23 I talked about "Go ye into all the world." 32:25 And we want to help our young people 32:27 as well as this older folk to understand when Jesus said, 32:31 "Go ye into the world," that who are the ye's?" You and me. 32:35 How many ye's are there here today? 32:37 Every hand should go up unless you don't have one, right? 32:41 Because "Go ye into all the world" 32:44 it's personal responsibility 32:46 for taking the gospel to the world. 32:48 And these young people that are here, 32:50 the ones who're singing this 32:51 have taken that gospel commissions. 32:53 Some of those traveled out of--from the Cayman Islands. 32:56 They traveled from California, from Florida, 32:58 they're going and they came here 33:00 and didn't ask for a penny. 33:02 They said, "We want to do this. 33:03 We want to be a part of this." 33:04 So their parents are already training them up 33:07 in the way that they should go. 33:09 These young people are taking this-- 33:11 you and I have tremendous potential 33:13 to take the gospel into all the world, 33:15 but sometimes we get distracted. 33:17 So we want to play this song now, "Go Ye." 33:33 Jesus said, Go ye into all the world 33:39 If He said it We can do it 33:41 Yes, He said it So let's do it 33:44 Take the gospel into the world 33:51 We're not too young We're not too old 33:54 To tell I love Jesus love 33:56 We're not ashamed so let's be bold 33:59 To tell I love heaven above 34:04 Jesus said Go ye into all the world 34:09 If He said it We can do it 34:12 Yes, He said it So let's do it 34:15 Take the gospel into the world 34:19 Matthew 20, it's 18 to 20, 34:22 "And Jesus came and spoke to them saying, 34:25 'All authority has been given to Me 34:27 in heaven and on earth.' 34:29 Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, 34:32 baptizing them in the name of the Father 34:35 and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 34:37 teaching them to observe all things 34:40 that's I have commanded you. 34:42 And lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age." 34:47 Christ gave His life upon a Cross 34:50 To set us free from sin 34:52 He said that day was not a loss 34:55 He's coming back again 35:00 Jesus said Go ye into all the world 35:05 If He said it We can do it 35:08 Yes, He said it So let's do it 35:11 Take the gospel into the world 35:16 Jesus said Go ye into all the world 35:21 If He said it We can do it 35:24 Yes, He said it So let's do it 35:27 Take the gospel into the world Take the gospel into the world 35:34 Take the gospel into the world Take the gospel into the world 35:40 Take the gospel into the world Take the gospel into the world 35:50 "Go ye, go ye into all the world." 35:54 Brenda Walsh called me a few days ago. 35:56 She said, "Danny, you know, I love you." 35:58 I've known you all of my life. 36:00 We knew them since they were kids, 36:01 her father lives just down the road here 36:03 away from West Frankfort. 36:05 She said, "I know I love you but on this program 36:07 that you're doing with the kids. 36:09 Be sure you make some notes in between each song 36:12 so you won't just ramble in between." 36:14 And she said, "I know, you don't like to make notes. 36:19 And I know that you don't like to be confined, 36:21 but please do this so that it runs smoothly." 36:24 And again she said, "Don't ramble." 36:27 And I said, "Okay." 36:28 And she said, "Now don't tell anyone I said this." 36:30 So I'm not gonna, I'm not gonna repeat it, 36:33 I know, she is watching today. 36:35 And this was just our own little secret 36:38 here for us right now. 36:40 But she called me one day and she said, "Listen, 36:42 I need a theme song, 36:44 we're doing this Vacation Bible School. 36:46 And I need a new theme song for Kids Time." 36:50 And she said for things we're doing 36:52 and she just wrote one for Vacation Bible School. 36:54 But she said, "Would you write me a song 36:57 for kids for Kids Time." 36:59 And I said, "Brenda, I'm on my way right now. 37:02 I'm gonna doing a live program." 37:03 I think it was like 15 minutes from now 37:06 and I was late leaving the house, 37:07 I said, I got to get over there 37:08 and she said, "I may have 20 minutes." 37:10 She said, "Well just think about it 37:11 if you can write a song." 37:13 Now I said, "I don't know 37:14 if I can write a song like that." 37:15 So I started go out of the door 37:17 and all of sudden this little tune popped in my mind 37:19 and so I ran back in real quick and sit down 37:22 and typed out the words. 37:25 And on the way over to the station at 3ABN I sang it. 37:28 I said to her, she goes, 37:30 "Oh, I love it, that's perfect." 37:31 And I said, "Really?" 37:32 She is little hard to please sometimes. 37:34 I said, "Really?" 37:37 And well, she's a perfectionist. 37:38 You know, perfectionist through that way. 37:40 So I said, "Really?" She said, "I love it. 37:42 Don't change your thing." 37:44 And so later I said, "Man, I got off easy." 37:47 That I said-- that probably 37:49 I was telling someone in front of her, 37:50 I said, I think I wrote that in 15 or 20 minutes. 37:52 She said, "No, it was 4 minutes and 31 seconds." 37:56 And I said, "Well, how would you know that?" 37:58 She said, "Because from the time I hung up, 38:00 I looked in my phone 38:02 and the time you called me back 38:03 with the song was 4 minutes and 31 seconds." 38:06 So I said, "Okay, well, it is a short song. 38:09 I hope you enjoy Kids' Time." 38:19 It's Kids' Time to help each other 38:23 It's Kids' Time to love one another 38:26 It's Kids-- It's Kids' Time 38:33 It's Kids' Time to share about Jesus 38:37 Kids' Time to help those who need us 38:40 It's Kids-- It's Kids' Time 38:46 Hey, kids did you know that we're valuable to Jesus 38:49 and that He loves us each and everyone? 38:51 And did you know that He died to save us, 38:53 because God was willing to give His only son? 38:57 Here's how we can show Jesus, how much we love Him. 39:00 It's Kids' Time to catch the vision 39:04 It's Kids' Time to join in the mission 39:07 It's Kids-- It's Kids' Time 39:14 It's Kids' Time to help each other 39:17 It's Kids' Time to love one another 39:21 It's Kids-- It's Kids' Time 39:26 It's Kids' Time It's Kids' Time 39:29 It's Kids' Time 39:35 All right, and they make it believable too, don't they? 39:39 The next song is called "On This Your Sabbath Day." 39:44 And I was thinking about a song 39:46 that would describe not only talk about the Sabbath, 39:49 but which day is the Sabbath 39:51 and explain that God is the Creator. 39:54 And then explain some of the things 39:56 that we're to do and not to do on this Sabbath in detail. 39:59 So young people when they read it. 40:01 And these are for folk of all denominations. 40:03 We're wanting this Love Rules CD to go into Book 40:08 and Bible stores all over the country. 40:10 And we're hoping that people can receive these 40:13 and as they listen, because what's in here is Bible, 40:16 I didn't write it, this is our Bible. 40:18 And "On This our Sabbath Day," 40:20 we try to incorporate the things 40:22 that for a young mind that we thought would be simple 40:24 and they could grasp and understand that 40:26 who we are and who God is, "On This Your Sabbath Day." 40:44 We come to worship you On this Your Holy day 40:56 We feel You near You presence ordain 41:02 On this Your Sabbath day 41:08 We rest in You today We honor Your command 41:19 We find such peace when our work we cease 41:25 On this Your Sabbath day You sanctify Your day 41:37 You blessed and hallowed it 41:43 Six days to work the seventh to rest 41:48 On this Your Sabbath day 41:54 Exodus 20 verses 8 through 11, "Remember the Sabbath day, 41:58 to keep it holy. 42:00 Six days you shall labor, and do all your work, 42:03 but the seventh day 42:04 is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. 42:06 In it you shall do no work, 42:08 you, nor your son, nor your daughter, 42:11 your male servant, nor your female servant, 42:13 nor your cattle, nor the stranger 42:15 who is within your gates. 42:17 For in six days the Lord made the heaven 42:19 and earth, the sea, and all that is in them, 42:23 and rested the seventh day. 42:25 Therefore the Lord blessed 42:26 the Sabbath day and hallowed it. 42:30 We ate the law of God We give our heart to you 42:41 Please fill us now with holy power 42:47 On this Your Sabbath day 42:53 Please fill us now with holy power 43:01 On this Your Sabbath day 43:21 Praise the Lord. 43:22 These young folk cheered me up jesting on that. 43:26 But again, I just so appreciative to their parents 43:29 in allowing them to come and teaching them. 43:32 How important it is to use their gifts 43:35 and talents and abilities for Jesus while they're young. 43:39 Our next song is just a little happy song. 43:41 It goes back from what I mentioned little bit ago 43:44 first angel's message, 43:46 "Fear God and give glory to Him." 43:48 And I think when we go to ball games 43:50 we get excited, we get happy, right? 43:52 When we have a birthday, we get excited, 43:54 we get happy, we get all kinds of things. 43:56 And yet sometimes in church or as Christians, 44:00 we think we have to look so sober 44:01 and so serious all the time. 44:03 And this song is just a reminder 44:06 of who God is and who we are. 44:08 And it's a joy and privilege and He says, 44:11 "He inhabits the praises of His people." 44:14 And so this little song is entitled 44:17 "Let's All Praise the Lord." 44:27 Come join in singing join in praising 44:31 Let's all praise the Lord 44:34 We'll sing out loud our voice is raising 44:37 Let's all praise the Lord Hallelujah, Hallelujah 44:47 We'll tell the world how much we love Him 44:50 Let's all praise the Lord 44:53 Psalm 100 verses 1 through 5, 44:56 "Make a joyful shout to the Lord, 44:58 all ye lands. 45:00 Serve the Lord with gladness, 45:01 come before His presence with singing. 45:04 Know that the Lord He is God. 45:06 It is He who has made us, 45:07 and not we ourselves. 45:09 We are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. 45:12 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, 45:15 and into His courts with praise. 45:17 Be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. 45:20 For the Lord is good, His mercy is everlasting, 45:23 and His truth endureth to all generations. 45:26 We've come to worship our Creator 45:30 Let's all praise the Lord 45:33 We love Him because He is our Savior 45:36 Let's all praise the Lord 45:39 Hallelujah, Hallelujah 45:46 We'll tell the world how much we love Him 45:49 Let's all praise the Lord 45:52 Psalm 34 verses 1 through 3, 45:55 "I will bless the Lord at all times, 45:58 His praise shall continually be in my mouth. 46:01 My soul shall make it's boast in the Lord, 46:03 the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. 46:05 Who magnify the Lord with me, 46:07 and let us exalt his name together. 46:10 Come join in singing, join in praising 46:14 Let's all praise the Lord 46:17 We'll sing out loud, our voice is raising 46:20 Let's all praise the Lord 46:23 Hallelujah, Hallelujah 46:30 We'll tell the world how much we love Him 46:33 Let's all praise the Lord 46:35 Come on let's all praise the Lord. Amen. 46:44 Well, this takes care of the 46:46 "Fear God and give glory to Him." 46:47 We just praise the Lord, but the last half 46:50 of the first angel's message says, 46:52 "For the hour of His judgment has come." 46:55 So we felt it was impropriate, 46:56 it would be appropriate to write a song 46:59 "The hour of His judgment." 47:00 There's a judgment coming for all of us. 47:02 And what happens when we die 47:04 and what happens when the judgment hour is here? 47:07 And I think young people should know 47:08 and old people should know 47:09 around the world, right? 47:10 Since this gonna happen to all of us, 47:12 none of us are gonna escape 47:14 the "The Hour of Christ's Judgment." 47:16 Here it is. 47:33 Jesus is coming to earth again 47:37 To take His children home 47:40 He's coming in clouds with power and light 47:44 The hour of His judgment has come 47:47 The hour of His judgment has come 47:51 The hour of His judgment has come 47:55 Are you ready All get ready 47:58 The hour of His judgment has come 48:07 The trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall awake 48:10 A happy day that will be 48:14 And we who are living, the Lord will take 48:17 To heaven eternally 48:21 The hour of His judgment has come 48:24 The hour of His judgment has come 48:28 Are you ready All get ready 48:31 The hour of His judgment has come 48:35 First Corinthians 15 verses 51, 52, and 58, 48:40 "Behold, I tell you a mystery we shall not all sleep, 48:43 but we shall all be changed. 48:45 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, 48:48 at the last trumpet, for the trumpet 48:50 shall sound, and the dead shall be raised 48:52 incorruptible, and we shall be changed. 48:55 Therefore, my beloved brethren, 48:57 be stedfast, unmoveable, 48:58 always abounding in the work of the Lord, 49:01 knowing that your labor 49:02 is not in vain in the Lord." 49:05 The hour of His judgment has come 49:09 The hour of His judgment has come 49:12 Are you ready All get ready 49:16 The hour of His judgment has come 49:19 First Thessalonians 4 verses 16 through 18, 49:23 "For the Lord Himself shall descend from heaven 49:25 with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, 49:28 and with the trumpet of God. 49:29 And the dead in Christ will rise first. 49:32 Then we who are alive and remain 49:34 shall be caught up together with them 49:35 in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. 49:38 And thus we shall always be with the Lord." 49:42 The hour of His judgment has come 49:46 The hour of His judgment has come 49:49 Are you ready All get ready 49:53 The hour of His judgment has come 49:56 Are you ready All get ready 50:00 The hour of His judgment has come 50:11 The last song that I wrote 50:13 I really didn't intend to write it, 50:14 it just kind of came to me that I was thinking 50:17 about this universe. 50:18 And so many times we get depressed, 50:21 we get discouraged. 50:22 And as I mentioned before we read 50:24 the back of the book, Revelation says, 50:25 "And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb 50:29 and the word of their testimony." 50:31 And so it says in essence that the universe-- 50:35 this universal--all of the universe will at one point. 50:40 It says, "Every knee shall bow, 50:43 every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord." 50:46 God is in charge of the entire universe. 50:49 I guess that's what I want to say. 50:51 God is in charge of the entire universe. 50:53 And since He is love then love rules the universe. 50:58 Satan has come in to discourage, 51:01 he's out to steal, kill, and to destroy the Bible says. 51:04 But you know what in the end he is a loser 51:07 and all of those who submit and commit their lives 51:10 to Jesus Christ win. 51:12 And so we will see that in God's creation 51:15 throughout His universe for all eternity 51:18 that "Love Rules." 51:30 There are rules at home and rules at the school 51:34 Rules on the playground and rules in the pool 51:38 But there's one rule that is the best 51:42 And if you keep this rule, you will be blessed 51:48 Isn't it cool that Love Rules 51:52 Isn't it great, there's no hate 51:55 When Love Rules It's no accident you see 52:02 That's the way it's meant to be 52:06 Since God is love, love rules Love rules 52:17 There are rules for this and rules for that 52:20 There are even rules for our dogs, our cats 52:24 There are some we like and some we don't 52:28 Some we'll keep and some we won't 52:32 But there's one rule that is the best 52:36 And if you keep this rule, you will be blessed 52:41 Isn't it cool that Love Rules 52:45 Isn't it great, there's no hate 52:49 When Love Rules It's no accident you see 52:56 That's the way it's meant to be 53:00 Since God is love, love rules Love rules 53:11 Now the Bible tells of God's great love 53:18 How Jesus came from heaven above 53:27 He gave His life on Calvary 53:30 He died that day So the whole world could see 53:36 Isn't it cool that Love Rules 53:41 Isn't it great, there's no hate 53:44 When Love Rules It's no accident you see 53:51 That's the way it's meant to be 53:55 Since God is love 53:58 Isn't it cool that Love Rules 54:03 Isn't it great, there's no hate 54:06 When Love Rules It's no accident you see 54:13 That's the way it's meant to be 54:17 Since God is love, love rules 54:24 Love Rules Love Rules 54:31 Love Rules Love Rules 54:41 All right, we all agree that Love Rules?
