ON SUNDAYS, ALL EYES ARE
ON HIM.
IT'S A BATTLE.
THROUGHOUT THE WEEK, HIS
EYES ARE LOOKING UP.
HE DIDN'T LEAVE US HERE
EMPTY-HANDED.
INSIDE THE HUDDLE WITH
SAN DIEGO'S QUARTERBACK
PHILIP RIVERS.
PLUS, IF YOU'VE SUFFERED
FROM TEMPER TANTRUMS, AND
EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN, WE
HAVE HELP FOR YOU.
KEVIN LEMAN IS HERE.
Pat: WELCOME TO "THE
700 CLUB."
DELIGHTED TO HAVE YOU WITH
US.
WITH ME IS THE WONDERFUL
WENDY.
Wendy: GOOD TO SEE
YOU.
Pat: THERE ARE A GROUP
OF BAD GUYS WHO ARE TRYING
TO ENFORCE SHARI'A LAW ON
THE CHRISTIANS, AND FORCE
THEM TO PAY A PUNITIVE TAX.
WHILE THE WORLD IS FOCUSING
ON CHEMICAL WEAPONS, THE
CHRISTIANS ARE FACING
INTENSE PERSECUTION.
GUESS WHAT?
FROM MUSLIMS.
Wendy: IT'S THE LATEST
EXAMPLE OF MUSLIM ATTACKS
AGAINST CHRISTIANS IN
COUNTRIES THROUGHOUT THE
MIDDLE EAST.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS THE
STORY.
Reporter: SYRIAN
CHRISTIANS HAVE SUPPORTED
THE ASSAD REGIME BECAUSE IT
HAS PROTECTED RELIGIOUS
MINORITIES OVER THE YEARS.
THOSE DAYS MAY BE COMING TO
AN END.
MANY ANALYSTS TEND TO
BELIEVE AS YOU WEAKEN THE
REGIME, YOU ALSO STRENGTHEN
RARADICAL ISLAMISTS WHO ARE
FIGHTING THE REGIME, WHO ARE
HAVING THEIR SAY IN THE
SO-CALLED LIBERATED AREAS OF
SYRIA.
IN THE NORTH AND ELSEWHERE,
WHERE THEY'RE IMPOSING
ISLAMIC RULE.
Reporter: THAT'S WHAT
HAPPENED IN EGYPT, WHEN THE
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD TOOK
OVERMENT EVEN THOUGH THE
BROTHERHOOD HAS BEEN
WEAKENED BY MILITARY
INTERVENTION, SUPPORTERS OF
OUSTED PRESIDENT MOHAMMED
MORSI STILL WREAK HAVOC ON
CHRISTIANS IN THE SOUTH.
THE CHURCH WAS SURROUNDED
ON ALL SIDES.
AND THE PEOPLE SURROUNDING
THE CHURCH WERE ARMED.
THERE COULDN'T BE LESS THAN
A THOUSAND TOTALLY
SURROUNDING THE CHURCH,
CARRYING WEAPONS.
Reporter: IN THE
CHRISTIAN TOWN OF DELGA, A
MONASTERY WAS DESTROYED.
THE ANCIENT DOOR WAS
VANDALIZED, AND OTHER NEARBY
CHURCHES WERE BURNED.
WE STILL DON'T HAVE A
CHURCH TO PRAY AT.
WE ARE STILL TRYING TO CLEAN
THEM UP.
WE HAVE FOUR CHURCHES IN THE
AREA, AND WE CANNOT PRAY IN
ANY OF THEM.
Reporter: THE YOU
MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD IN DELGA
IS ALSO IMPOSING ATTACKS ON
CHRISTIANS.
IT IS CALLED AJIJI ATTACKS.
ACCORDING TO THE AUTHOR
RAYMOND, AJIJI IS WHAT THE
NON-MUSLIMS HISTORICALLY HAD
TO PAY TO THEIR ISLAMIC
OVERLORDS.
IT IS ALREADY STARTING TO
HAPPEN IN SYRIA, WHEN REBELS
TOOK OVER THE ANCIENT TOWN
OF MAALOULA, THEY GAVE A
CHRISTIAN SHOP OWNER THREE
OPERATIONS.
PAY A $70,000 TAX, CONVERT,
OR DIE.
MANY FEAR WHAT HAPPENED
IN SYRIA WILL BE A REPLAY OF
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE
CHRISTIAN OF IRAQ, WHICH
LIKE THE CHRISTIAN COMMUNITY
IN SYRIA, HAS PLAYED SUCH AN
IMPORTANT ROLE IN THE
HERITAGE AND CULTURE AND THE
PERCEPTION OF TOLERANCE IN
THOSE COUNTRIES HAD TO FLEE
BECAUSE THEY WERE TARGETED
BY RADICAL ISLAMISTS AS
WELL.
Reporter: EPHRAIM
GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Pat: LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN, THAT IS SOMETHING
WE NEED TO LOOK AT.
AND REGRETTABLY, I DON'T
THINK ANYTHING GOOD TO COME
OUT OF THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION IN RELATION
TO DEFENDING THE RIGHTS OF
CHRISTIANS IN THE MIDDLE
EAST.
IT JUST WON'T HAPPEN.
THEY'LL COME DOWN ON THE
SIDE OF THE BROTHERHOOD AND
THEY'LL COME DOWN ON THE
SIDE OF THE RADICALS.
AND THEY'LL SAY
WE'RE, QUOTE,"HELPING THE
MODERATE ISLAMISTS," BUT
THERE ARE NONE IN THAT
PARTICULAR STRUGGLE.
THE UNITED STATES IS STILL
LOOKING FOR A DIPLOMATIC WAY
OUT OF THE STANDOFF OF
SYRIA'S CHEMICAL WEAPONS.
JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT STORY
FROM WASHINGTON.
Reporter: SECRETARY OF
STATE JOHN KERRY IS IN
GENEVA FOR THE TWO-DAY
SUMMIT.
IT CENTERS AROUND THE PLAN
FOR SYRIA TO HAND OVER THEIR
CHEMICAL WEAPONS STOCKPILE
TO THE NATIONAL COMMUNITY.
BUT VLADIMIR PUTIN SAYS HE
WON'T SUPPORT A MILITARY
STRIKE AGAINST SYRIA IF
DAMASCUS DOESN'T COMPLY.
PUTIN CRITICIZED THE
AMERICANS U.S. FORCE IN THE
MIDDLE EAST.
AND SAYS THEY ARE RELYING
SOLELY ON BRUTE FORCE.
THE REPORTS SURFACE THAT THE
U.S. HAS BEEN SENDING SMALL
ARMS, LIKE MACHINE GUNS, TO
THE REBELS IN SYRIA.
OBAMACARE IS PROVING
UNPOPULAR EVEN WITH SOME OF
THE PRESIDENT'S POLITICAL
ALLIES IN THE LABOR
MOVEMENT.
THE AFL/CIO HAS CRITICIZED
PART OF THE NEW LAW.
AND WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS
ARE DISCOURAGING THE GROUP
FROM MAKING ITS CONCERNS SO
PROMINENT.
THE OPPOSITION SAYS IT WILL
DRIVE UP THE HEALTH CARE TO
THE POINT WHERE WORKERS AND
EMPLOYERS ARE FORCED TO
ABANDON THEM.
LABOR UNIONS STILL SUPPORT
THEOBAMACARE TO
CUT HEALTH CARE CUTS AND
PROVIDE COVER CAGE TO ALL
AMERICANS, BUT SAYS THE LAW
AS IT STANDS NOW WILL HURT
THE UNION PLANS.
DETROIT BECAME THE LARGEST
CITY IN AMERICA TO GO
BANKRUPT, BUT OTHER CITIES
ARE ALSO HURTING
FINANCIALLY.
THAT MEANS IMPORTANT
UPGRADES TO ROADS, BRIDGES,
AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS ARE
BEING PUSHED TO THE SIDE.
BUT THERE MAY BE A SOLUTION
WHERE BUSINESSES CAN WORK
WITH THE CITY TO GET THE
UPGRADES THEY SO DESPERATELY
NEED.
CAITLIN BURKE HAS THAT
STORY.
Reporter: ACROSS THE
COUNTRY, MORE AND MORE
CITIES STRUGGLE TO PAY THEIR
BILLS.
OBLIGATIONS FROM PAYROLL TO
HEALTH CARE TO PENSION FUNDS
SQUEEZE ALREADY SHRINKING
BUDGETS.
BUT THERE IS A SOLUTION, A
WAY TO MAKE THOSE
DESPERATELY-NEEDED
INFRASTRUCTURE UPDATES
WITHOUT USING GOVERNMENT
MONEY.
IT'S CALLED PUBLIC-PRIVATE
PARTNERS.
CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
PROJECTS OFTEN GET
SIDELINED.
THE RESULT, CRUMBLING
HIGHWAYS, AND ELECTRIC GRIDS
THAT CAN'T KEEP UP THE.
UNDER A PARTNERSHIP,
PRIVATE SECTOR WILL COME AND
DO THE INVESTMENT, AND SO IT
IS NOT ON THE BOOKS OF THE
PUBLIC SECTOR.
Reporter: RICHARD
NORMAN SAYS THESE
PARTNERSHIPS CAN INCLUDE THE
QUALITY OF A WIDE RANGE OF
SERVICES.
WE USE PARTNERSHIPS FOR
TRANSPORTATION, AN OBVIOUS
ONE, BUT FOR ENERGY SYSTEMS,
ECONOMIC HOUSING, HOSPITALS,
SCHOOLS.
Reporter: POOR
MAINTENANCE CONTRIBUTES TO
THAT GROWING NEED, AND NEW
BUILDING PROVINCE PROJECTS
RARELY MAKE IT TO A CITY'S
DRAWING BOARD.
PRIVATE BUSINESSES CAN
PROVIDE STATE-OF-THE-ART
SERVICES.
THERE IS A BIG NEED IN NEW
YORK CITY.
ENGINEER MITCH CALLS THE BIG
APPLE'S ELECTRICAL
INFRASTRUCTURE
INSUFFICIENT.
CON ED HAS THE SAME ISSUE
THE REST OF THE UTILITIES
HAVE.
THEY HAVE NEVER ENVISIONED
THE KIND OF KIND OF
ELECTRICAL GROWTH THAT THE
CITY HAS.
CON ED IS DOING THE VERY
BEST TO DELIVER THE POWER,
BUT IT IS A FINITE RESOURCE,
AND THEIR INFRASTRUCTURE HAS
FINITE CAPABILITIES.
BECAUSE OF ALL OF THAT,
THEIR UTILITY RATES ARE
EXTRAORDINARY.
AND IT'S, AGAIN, BECAUSE OF
THE RATES THAT THEY ARE TO
CHARGE TO COVER THIS
INFRASTRUCTURE UPGRADE, NOT
MAKING IT MORE RELIABLE OR
MORE ROBUST, BUT SIMPLY TO
KEEP PACE WITH THE
INCREASING DEMAND.
Reporter: FORMER
GOVERNOR GEORGE PATAKI SAYS
THE STAGE IS SET FOR PRIVATE
INVESTORS TO STEP IN WITH
FINANCIALLY EFFECTIVE
SOLUTIONS.
WHAT I HOPE WE DO FAR
MORE OF IN NEW YORK AND THE
COUNTRY GOING FORWARD IS TO
EMPOWER PRIVATE COMPANIES
WITH TREMENDOUS EXPERTISE,
AND BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THEY
WANTINVEST IN
INFRASTRUCTURE PROJECTS TO
WORK WITH THE PUBLIC SECTOR,
TO COME UP WITH BOTH
FINANCIALLY BETTER, MORE
EFFECTIVE, AND QUICKER
SOLUTIONS TO THE
INFRASTRUCTURE PROBLEM.
Reporter: THE NEED
EXISTS, AND THE PRIVATE
FUNDING IS THERE.
NOW IT IS UP TO STATE AND
LOCAL LEADERS TO GET ON
BOARD AND TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE OPPORTUNITY.
CAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS,
WASHINGTON.
A FEDERAL JUDGE HAS
DISMISSED THE LAWSUIT TO
REMOVE THE NATIONALE MOTTO
"IN GOD WE TRUST" FROM U.S.
COINS AND CURRENCY.
I THINK THEIST GROUPS AND
INDIVIDUALS SAYS IT VIOLATES
THE SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND
STATE.
THE JUDGE WROTE THAT THE
SUPREME COURT HAS REPEATEDLY
ASSUMED THE MOTTO IN EFFECT,
AND FEDERAL APPEALS COURTS
HAVE FOUND NO CONSTITUTIONAL
VIOLATION IN THE MOTTO.
THE AMERICAN CENTER FOR LAW
AND JUSTICE REPRESENT 41
MEMBERS OF CONGRESS.
JAY SECULO SAYS COURTS HAVE
REJECTED SIMILAR CHALLENGES
BROUGHT BY ATHEISTS.
PAT, WE NOW THAT THE ACLJ
MAIN ARGUMENT IS IT IS A
HISTORICAL FACT THAT THE
NATION WAS FOUNDED ON ITS
BELIEF IN GOD.
Pat: THERE IS NO
QUESTION ABOUT IT.
WE ALL NEED FREEDOM, FREEDOM
OF SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF
WRITING.
BUT WE DON'T HAVE TO STRIP
OUT THE RIGHTS OF ALL
BELIEVERS IN ORDER TO
SATISFY A TINY MINORITY THAT
DOESN'T BELIEVE IN
ANYTHING.
THE NUMBER OF ATHEISTS IS
JUST TINY IN RELATION TO THE
REST OF THE POPULATION.
WE ARE A RELIGIOUS PEOPLE.
WE BELIEVE IN GOD.
THERE IS NO REASON WHY WE
SHOULDN'T MAKE THAT NONE
KNOWN IN OUR PUBLIC
PRONOUNCEMENTS.
THE SUPREME COURT, THANK
GOODNESS, HAS SAID THAT'S
TRUE.
WELL, PRAISE THE LORD.
Wendy: THE ATHEISTS ARE
SO LOUD, THOUGH.
THEY MIGHT BE 1%.
Pat: BUT IT IS SO TINY,
THE PEOPLE WHO DON'T BELIEVE
IN ANYTHING.
WHY SHOULD WE GIVE UP OUR
RIGHTS JUST BECAUSE THEY
DON'T BELIEVE IN ANYTHING.
WELL, WE'LL BE OFFENDED.
WELL, TOUGH LUCK.
GO AHEAD.
Wendy: COMING UP, SCOTT
ROSS TAKES US TO ISRAEL
ALONG THE SAME ROUTE THAT
ABRAHAM, I' ISAAC AND JACOB
TRAVELLED.
MODERN DAY ISRAELIS TALK
ABOUT LIFE AND WHAT IS KNOWN
AS THE WEST BANK, WHEN WE
COME BACK.
Pat: I JUST HAPPENED TO
BE IN NORWAY WHEN THESE GUYS
WERE MEETING 20 YEARS AGO.
ISRAEL AND THE PALESTINIANS
SIGNED THE OSLO ACCORDS, AND
SINCE THEN, ENDLESS
NEGOTIATIONS HAVE FOLLOWED,
BUT THEY STILL HAVE NO
PEACE.
NOW, ONCE AGAIN WE HAVE
PEACE TALKS.
THE STAKES ARE HIGHER FOR
ISRAELIS SINCE THE
PALESTINIANS WANT TO TAKE
PART OF THE PROMISED LAND TO
ESTABLISH THEIR OWN STATE,
AND THEY ALSO WANT HALF OF
JERUSALEM, WHICH IS, I
THINK, NON-NEGOTIABLE.
RECENTLY SCOTT ROSS TALKED
WITH SOME ISRAELIS ABOUT
THEIR ONGOING STRUGGLE IN
THE LAND.
Reporter: KNOWN TO MUCH
OF THE WORLD AS THE WEST
BANK, JUDEA AND SOMARIA OF
THE BIBLE IS TODAY HOME TO
SOME 360,000 JEWISH ISRAELIS
AND AT LEAST 1.4 MILLION
PALESTINIAN ARABS.
SHILO, THE FIRST CAPITAL
OF ANCIENT ISRAEL.
THE PLACE WHERE THE
TABERNACLE STOOD FOR 369
YEARS.
Reporter: DAVID RUBIN
IS THE FORMER MAYOR OF
SHILOH.
WE TALKED TOGETHER
OVERLOOKING THE ROUTE IN
WHICH THE BIBLICAL
PATRIARCHS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC,
AND JACOB WOULD HAVE
TRAVELLED.
THIS IS WHERE JOSHUA
STOOD FROM THE ISRAELITES,
AND HE SAID, HOW LONG WILL
YOU WAIT BEFORE COMING TO
TAKE POSSESSION OF THE LAND
THAT THE LORD GOD OF YOUR
FATHER HAS GIVEN YOU.
THIS IS THE PLACE WHERE THE
WOMAN HANNAH CAME TO PRAY
FOR HER SON.
THE SON THAT WAS BORN FROM
HER PRAYERS WAS SAMUEL THE
PROPHET.
WHO GREW UP IN PROPHECY,
ALONG WITH THE PEOPLE OF
ISRAEL.
Reporter: THAT IS THE
ISSUE THAT REMAINS TODAY:
THIS IS THE LAND THAT GOD
GAVE YOU?
WE HAVE A SPECIAL
RESPONSIBILITY TO CHERISH IT
AND TAKE CARE OF IT.
Reporter: RUBIN'S
COMMITMENT TO THE LAND CAME
AT A PERSONAL PRICE WHILE HE
AND HIS SON WERE AMBUSHED BY
TERRORISTS WHILE TRAVELLING
ON THE WAY HOME.
THE CAR WAS HIT BY A
MASSIVE AMOUNT OF BULLETS.
I WAS SHOT IN THE LEG, AND
MY SON WAS SHOT IN THE
HEAD.
Reporter: IS YOUR SON
ALIVE TODAY?
THANK GOD HE HAD A
MIRACULOUS RECOVERY.
Reporter: WHY DO PEOPLE
CHOOSE TO LIVE IN THE THREAT
OF VIOLENCE, YOUR CHILDREN
BEING EXPOSED TO THIS.
WHY DO PEOPLE WANT TO BE
HERE?
WE HAVE COME HOME.
WE'RE FULFILLING PROPHECY.
Reporter: SOME 300
FAMILIES LIVE IN SHILOH
TODAY, 35 YEARS AFTER IT WAS
REESTABLISHED IN 1978.
YET MAHMOUD ABBAS SAID
RECENTLY THAT A FUTURE
PALESTINIAN STATE IN THIS
AREA MUST BE COMPLETELY FREE
OF JEWS.
THERE NEVER WAS A
PALESTINIAN STATE.
IT IS ALL AN ILLUSION.
ALL A POLITICAL GAIN BY THE
ISLAMIC WORLD TO TRY TO MAKE
SURE THAT ISRAEL DOESN'T
HAVE THE RIGHT TO EXIST
ANYMORE.
Reporter: HOW DO YOU
FEEL ABOUT THE
LAND-FOR-PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS.
YOU GIVE UP THE LAND, THERE
IS GOING TO BE PEACE.
IT IS TIME FOR A NEW
LAND, CALLED PEACE FOR
PEACE.
WE EXTEND OUR HAND IN PEACE,
THEY EXTEND THEIR HAND IN
PEACE, AND WE SHAKE AND ALL
IS WELL.
Reporter: JUDEA AND
SOMARIA, INCLUDING THE
JORDAN VALLEY IS 79 MILES
LONG, AND BETWEEN 19 AND
34 MILES WIDE.
TO THE SOUTH OF JERUSALEM
AND BETHLEHEM IS A LARGE
BLOCK OF JEWISH COMMUNITIES
IN JUDEA CALLED THE GOSH
ETZION.
IN ANOTHER PART OF WHAT THE
WORLD CALLS THE WEST BANK.
WE'RE AT THE HIGHEST
POINT IN GOSH ET ZION.
WE'RE ON THE BACK HILLS.
AND THAT IS THE
MEDITERRANEAN SEA AND THE
COASTAL PLAIN.
TEL AVIV, ASHKALON, AND DONE
TO GAZA.
AND YOU CAN SEE THE ROCKETS
COME OUT OF IT.
WHEN YOU LOOK EAST, WE'RE
LOOKING TOWARDS JORDAN.
FIRST WE HAVE THE HILLS
HERE, AND THEY GO FROM
HEBRON ALL THE WAY UP TO
JERUSALEM, AND THERE IS
JORDAN ON THE OTHER SIDE.
THAT'S IT.
THAT'S ALL WE'VE GOT.
THIS IS THE WIDTH, AND WE'RE
ON TOP.
Reporter: LUCY
LIEBERMAN IS A WIFE AND
MOTHER.
ORIGINALLY FROM OHIO, SHE IS
RAISING HER FAMILY IN A
COMMUNITY CALLED ALON
SHABBUT, WHICH MEANS RETURN
TO THE OAK TREE.
THE JURIS HAVE ESTABLISHED
SEVERAL FARMING COMMUNITIES
HERE BEFORE THE STATE OF
ISRAEL IN 1948, BUT DURING
ISRAEL'S WAR OF
INDEPENDENCE, THEY WERE
DESTROYED AND THE RESIDENTS
KILLED OR DRIVEN AWAY.
AFTER THE 1967 SIX-DAY WAR,
THE JEWS RETURNED TO REBUILD
HERE.
WHO ARE YOUR NEIGHBORS?
I THINK HAVING LEBANON IN
THE NORTH, AND SYRIA TO THE
NORTHEAST, AND THEN YOU COME
AROUND AND HAVE EGYPT TO THE
SOUTH, WE'RE NOT IN A GREAT
AREA.
Reporter: THERE ARE 24
MUSLIM STATES SURROUNDING
ISRAEL, FROM MOROCCO TO
IRAN.
MORE THAN EIGHT MILLION
SQUARE MILES OF LAND.
MORE THAN 500 TIMES THE SIZE
OF ISRAEL, WHERE SOME HALF A
BILLION PEOPLE LIVE.
JUDEA AND SOMARIA STAND
BETWEEN ISRAEL'S MAJOR
POPULATION CENTERS AND THE
ARAB WORLD.
WITHOUT IT, IN SOME PLACES
ISRAEL IS JUST NINE MILES
WIDE.
THE ARABS' FACTION HATE THE
JEWS.
DO YOU HATE THE ARABS?
I DON'T THINK THE ARABS
THAT LIVE NEARBY IN THE
VILLAGE OVER THERE -- I
DON'T THINK THEY HATE ME.
I THINK THEY'RE TAUGHT TO
HATE ME.
WE HAVE AN ARAB FRIEND, I
KNOW THE NAMES OF HIS KIDS,
AND HE IS BEHIND THIS CHEESE
COUNTER WITH A HUGE
CLEAVER.
AND HE IS, LIKE, WHAT CAN I
GET YOU?
AND HE IS OUR FRIEND.
I'M NOT AFRAID.
I'M ACTUALLY ENCOURAGED.
Reporter: 20 YEARS AGO,
THEN ISRAEL PRIME MINISTER
YITZHAK RABIN AND YASSER
ARAFAT SIGNED THE OSLO
ACCORDS AND SHOOK HANDS, AND
STILL THERE IS NO PEACE.
DO YOU THINK THIS COULD
POSSIBLY BECOME A FUTURE
PALESTINIAN STATE?
IF IT WERE TO BECOME A
PALESTINIAN STATE, I WOULD
IMAGINE IT WOULD BECAUSE
THERE IS SOME HUGE
BREAKTHROUGH AND THE WHOLE
WORLD BELIEVES WE HAVE PEACE
IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD.
AND IF THAT IS TRUE, I CAN
LIVE HERE.
I'M JEWISH, I BOUGHT THE
LAND, AND I SHOULD BE ABLE
TO KEEP MY HOME.
IN EVERY TALKS THAT WE HEAR,
WE'RE OUT OF THE PICTURE.
WE'LL HAVE TO PACK UP AND
GO.
Reporter: THE
SCRIPTURES TEACH US TO PRAY
FOR JERUSALEM, PRAY FOR
ISRAEL.
DO YOU THINK IT MAKES ANY
DIFFERENCE?
I HOPE THAT ALL OF YOU
CONTINUE TO PRAY FOR
JERUSALEM EVERY DAY.
IT STRENGTHENS US.
IT STRENGTHENS OUR PSYCHE.
IT STREN THEDGE STRENGTHENS
OUR HOPES.
WE KNOW WE'RE NOT ALONE.
Pat: SCOTT ROSS ON THE
WEST BANK.
VERY TELLING.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN --
EXCUSE ME -- IF THE ARABS
WANT TO MAKE PEACE, THEY CAN
DO IT ANY DAY THEY WANT TO.
BUT THEY DON'T REALLY WANT
PEACE.
THEY WANT PROVOCATION, AND
THEY WANT TO ELIMINATE THE
JEWS.
BUT IT IS SUCH A TINY, TINY
LITTLE SLIVER OF LAND.
THERE IS PLENTY OF LAND, BUT
THEY WANT MORE.
IT MAKES NO SENSE.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE
PEACE OVER THERE, I HATE TO
SAY IT.
UNTIL THE LORD HIMSELF COMES
BACK, THERE IS NOT GOING TO
BE ANY PEACE.
BUT WHAT SCOTT ROSS SAYS,
PRAY FOR THE PEACE OF
ISRAEL.
WENDY?
Wendy: UP NEXT, THE
QUARTERBACK WHO IS KNOWN FOR
HIS TRASH TALKING.
IT IS FUNNY BECAUSE OF
ALL OF THE DIALOGUE I'VE HAD
WITH OTHER TEAMS AND
PLAYERS, I CAN GO HOME AND
TELL MY WIFE AND MY MOTHER.
SO TRASH TALK MIGHT NOT BE
THE RIGHT TERM, BUT THAT'S
HOW IT IS DESCRIBED.
Wendy: SAN DIEGO'S
QUARTERBACK PHILIP RIVERS
TAKES US BEHIND THEIR
OFFENSE.
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Pat: AS YOU KNOW, THE
SAN DIEGO CHARGERS ARE A HOT
TEAM, AND SAN DIEGO
QUARTERBACK PHILIP RIVERS
HAS WORN THE NUMBER 17 SINCE
HE WAS IN THE NINTH GRADE.
IN HONOR OF HIS FATHER, WHO
WORE THE SAME NUMBER IN HIGH
SCHOOL.
PHILIP'S STREAK OF 120
CONSECUTIVE STARTS IS
CURRENTLY THE SECOND LONGEST
IN THE LEAGUE.
RECENTLY HE TOLD SPORTS
REPORTER TOM BURING HOW
FAITH AND FAMILY HAVE HELPED
HIM EXCEL IN THE NFL.
Reporter: THE CHARGERS'
PHILIP RIVERS HAS BEEN A
FIXTURE IN SAN DIEGO.
A FOUR-TIME PRO BOWL
PLAYER.
LEADING THE CHARGES TO 16
GAME-WINNING DRIVES DURING
THE COURSE OF HIS CAREER.
IT'S A PLAYOFF CALLED A
MILLION TIMES.
ANTONIO GATES IS GOING TO
RUN ABOUT A 15-YARD.
IT SEEMS TO BE ONE OF THOSE
WE TEND TO GO TO.
Reporter: HIS VALUE AS
A FRANCHISE QUARTERBACK HAS
COME IN THE CLUTCH, WINNING
85% OF THE GAMES HE HAS
PLAYED DURING THE FINAL FIVE
WEEKS BEFORE THE
POST-SEASON.
HE IS ANIMATED AND
COMPETITIVE.
HIS ON-FIELD INTENSITY HAS
CAUSED HIM TO BE LABELLED AS
A TRASH TALKER.
IT SOUNDS BAD, RIGHT?
AND IT'S FUNNY, BECAUSE OF
ALL OF THE DIA DIALOGUE
WITH OTHER PLAYERS AND
TEAMS, I CAN GO HOME AND
TELL MY WIFE AND TELL MY
MOTHER.
TRASH TALKING MAY NOT BE THE
RIGHT TERM FOR IT, BUT
THAT'S HOW IT IS DESCRIBED.
IT IS A PASSION FOR THE
GAME.
Reporter: DESPITE
COMING OFF HIS FIRST LOSING
SEASON IN THE NFL, AND
ADJUSTING TO FREQUENT
TURNOVER OF CHARGER
TEAMMATES, PHILIP HOLDS THE
SIXTH HIGHEST PASSING
EFFICIENCY IN NFL HISTORY.
I TAKE THE ROLE OF
LEADERSHIP AS THE MOST
IMPORTANT JOB I HAVE.
YES, IT IS THE PASSES AND
ALL OF THE DIFFERENT THINGS
YOU HAVE TO DO, BUT IT IS IN
LEADING AND IN THE HUDDLE
AND IN THE WEIGHT ROOMS.
IT IS THAT ROLE THAT COMES
FIRST.
Reporter: IT COMES WITH
THE TERRITORY.
PHILIP READS DEFENCES AND
WATCHES HIS GAME FOOTAGE.
BUT HE IS ALSO A QUARTERBACK
WHO SEES THE BIG PICTURE.
FAITH, FAMILY, AND
FOOTBALL IS HOW I PRIORITIZE
MY LIFE.
THEY ALL GO TOGETHER, BUT
THEY GO IN THAT ORDER.
THE CHARACTERISTICS IN OUR
FAITH AND FAMILY, IN
QUARTERBACKING, IN FOOTBALL,
THEY'RE ALL THE SAME.
THE SACRIFICE, THE
COMMITMENT, THE DEDICATION,
THE TOUGHNESS, THE ABILITY
TO HANDLE ADVERSITY.
Reporter: AND WHEN
ADVERSITY ROLLS IN, PHILIP
FINDS PURPOSE AND
COMPANIONSHIP TO HELP CARRY
HIM THROUGH.
IT IS QUITE AWESOME.
I THINK FOR ME, IT IS
PERSONALIZING THAT JESUS
DIED FOR ME.
SO I THINK WHEN I REALLY
GRASP THAT, YOU'RE ABLE TO
OVERCOME ANYTHING.
BUT WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT, IT'S ALL THE MORE
PERSONAL.
Reporter: AS A
QUARTERBACK, PHILIP PLAYS
THE HIGHEST PROFILE POSITION
IN ALL OF SPORTS.
WINS AND LOSSES FREQUENTLY
HINGE ON HIS PERFORMANCE.
AND IN THIS OCEANFRONT CITY,
WHO'S TEAM HAS A HISTORY OF
SUCCESS, THERE IS WEEKLY
PRESSURE TO WIN.
WITH YOUR FAITH, IN MY
PROFESSION, IT IS
UNDERSTANDING ALL OF THE
TIME I'M PLAYING FOR AN
AUDIENCE OF ONE, JESUS.
HAVING THAT ABILITY IN YOUR
FAITH AND FAMILY ALLOWS YOU
TO COME HERE AND RELAX, BE
CONFIDENT, AND PLAY.
THERE IS A PHRASE THAT IS
DEAR TO ME.
IT IS A LATIN PHRASE.
NUNCCOPI, AND IT MEANS NOW
WE BEGIN.
AND IT IS NEVER-ENDING.
GOOD OR BAD, YOU HAVE A
GREAT DAY, A GREAT PLAY,
NUNCOPI.
WHEN WE FALL, WE TRY AGAIN.
Reporter: PHILIP
MARRIED HIS HIGH SCHOOL
SWEETHEART, AND THEY'RE
PARENTS TO SIX KIDS, WITH A
SEVENTH ON THE WAY.
PHILIP FREQUENTLY SPEAKS TO
YOUTH ABOUT HIS CONVICTION
ABOUT ABSTINENCE.
YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND
THAT OUR SEXUALITY IS A
GIFT.
IT IS A GIFT THAT GOD HAS
GIVEN US, AND THEN YOU
UNDERSTAND AND GROW IN THAT
RESPECT AND LOVE WITH YOUR
SPOUSE OR GIRLFRIEND, OR
TO-BE WIFE, AND YOU RESPECT
HER.
YOU REALIZE YOU'RE LOVING
HER HEART AND HER SOUL AND
YOU GO TOGETHER.
I DON'T EVER TRY TO SOUND
LIKE IT IS A PIECE OF CAKE.
NO.
BUT YOU STRIVE AND BATTLE.
IT IS A BATTLE.
Reporter: A BATTLE THAT
REDUCES A 6' 5" QUARTERBACK
TO A GAME RECEIVER.
PHILIP CHARGES AHEAD WITH A
FAITH THAT LEADS HIM AND HIS
FAMILY BY WINNING WELL.
IN FOOTBALL, WE WANT TO
WIN A LOT OF FOOTBALL
GAMES.
WE WANT TO HAVE A BEAUTIFUL
FAMILY.
BUT WHAT ARE WE HERE FOR?
MY QUESTION TO JESUS, TO
GOD, IS WHAT DO YOU WANT ME
TO BE?
I BELIEVE TO GET TO HEAVEN
AND TAKE AS MANY PEOPLE WITH
US AS WE CAN.
YOU DO THAT DAILY, IN YOUR
WORDS AND IN YOUR ACTIONS.
IT IS DAILY, THIS PATH AND
THIS JOURNEY OF OUR FAITH.
Reporter: WHAT DO YOU
TELL THE INDIVIDUAL WHO IS
DESPERATELY SEARCHING FOR A
SENSE OF PURPOSE?
WE HAVE A GAME PLAN.
WE HAVE A GAME PLAN.
HE DIDN'T LEAVE US HERE
EMPTY-HANDED.
WHATEVER STATE YOU'RE IN
YOUR LIFE, WHATEVER IS GOING
ON, IT IS NEVER TOO LATE.
HE IS THERE FOR YOU AND
WAITING ON YOU.
IF YOU'RE GOING TO DO
SOMETHING, DO IT ALL THE
WAY.
LET'S NOT JUST PUT OUR TOE
IN THE WATER, YOU KNOW, AND
KIND OF DABBLE IN IT WHEN IT
IS CONVENIENT.
LET'S GO IN YOUR FAITH AND
IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH
JESUS.
Pat: WHAT A TREMENDOUS
ROLE MODEL, A TREMENDOUS
ATHLETE.
AND INSPIRING WORDS.
BY THE WAY, IF SOME OF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO KNOW JESUS,
YOU'D LIKE TO FIND WHAT
PHILIP RIVERS HAS, GIVE US A
CALL.
THE NUMBER IS ON YOUR
SCREEN.
YOU CAN CALL IN.
1-800-759-0700.
SOMEBODY IS HERE WHO LOVES
YOU AND CARES ABOUT YOU.
BUT THE MOST IMPORTANT THING
IS GOD LOVES YOU AND HE
CARES ABOUT YOU.
WELL, WE'RE GOING TO BE IN
FOR SOME LAUGHS.
YOU NEVER HAD ANY LITTLE
CHILDREN, WENDY?
Wendy: NOT YET.
Pat: NOT YET, BUT WE
HOPE FOR THE BEST FOR YOU.
I'VE HAD FOUR AND 10
GRANDCHILDREN AND
GREAT-GRANDCHILDREN --
Wendy: IF I GET MARRIED
SOON, WE CAN DO IT.
AND I COULD BE A BIG, FAT
PREGNANT CO-HOST.
IT COULD HAPPEN.
ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
STILL AHEAD, EVERY FAMILY
HAS ONE, AND KEVIN LEMAN
SHOULD KNOW BECAUSE HE WAS
THE ONE IN HIS FAMILY.
THE BEST-SELLING AUTHOR
TALKS ABOUT PARENTING YOUR
POWERFUL CHILD, COMING UP.
WELCOME BACK TO "THE 700
CLUB."
NEW SATELLITE IMAGES SUGGEST
NORTH KOREA IS RESTARTING
ITS NUCLEAR ACTIVITY.
A MEMBER OF A U.S. RESEARCH
INSTITUTE SAYS THE COUNTRY
IS BACK AT WORK ON A
PLUTONIUM REACTOR.
BUT IT IS NOT A SURPRISE.
PYEONGCHANG ANNOUNCED ITS
PLAN BACK IN APRIL.
THE REACTOR WAS CLOSED BACK
IN 2007 UNDER THE TERMS OF A
DISARMAMENT AGREEMENT.
THOUSANDS OF BIKERS FROM
AROUND THE COUNTRY FILLED
THE STREETS OF D.C. ON
WEDNESDAY TO HONOR THE
VICTIMS OF THE 9/11
TERRORIST ATTACKS.
THE GROUP CALLED "TWO
MILLION BIKERS TO D.C."
PLANNED TO HAVE A NO-STOP
RIDE THROUGH THE NATION'S
CAPITAL, BUT THEY WERE
DENIED A PERMIT.
THE BIKERS CIRCLED THE
BELTWAY AND WENT INTO THE
STREETS OF D.C. IN SMALLER
GROUPS.
THE RIDE WAS INITIALLY
ORGANIZED TO PROTEST A
MUSLIM MARCH.

WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Wendy: WELL, ARE YOU IN
A POWER STRUGGLE WITH YOUR
OWN CHILD?
IF SO, YOU ARE NOT ALONE.
"NEW YORK TIMES"
BEST-SELLING AUTHOR,
DR. KEVIN LEMAN, SAYS EVERY
FAMILY HAS WHAT HE CALLS A
POWERFUL CHILD.
HE ALSO SAYS THESE
STRONG-WILLED KIDS DON'T
JUST HAPPEN.
THEY'RE CREATED.
AND THE SECRET TO TURNING
YOUR CHILD'S
ATTENTION-SEEKING BEHAVIOR
IN A POSITIVE DIRECTION IS
TO TAKE CONTROL.
IN HIS LATEST BOOK,
"PARENTING YOUR POWERFUL
CHILD," DR. LEMAN TELLS YOU
HOW TO PREPARE THEM FOR AN
ADULT LIFE.
Wendy: WELCOME TO "THE
700 CLUB," DR. KEVIN LEMAN.
THEY SAY IT TAKES ONE TO
KNOW ONE.
WHAT KIND OF POWERFUL CHILD
WERE YOU?
I CRAWLED OUT OF THE
WORLD HISTORY CLASS ON MY
HANDS AND NEEDS, I GOT
THROWN OUT OF CUB SCOUTS.
I WAS A HANDFUL.
Wendy: YOU GIVE HOPE TO
EVERYONE.
YOU HAVE WRITTEN 40 BOOKS
AND YOU WERE A TERRIBLE
STUDENT.
POWERFUL KIDS, MY
GOODNESS, THEY'RE ALL OVER.
Wendy: WHAT ARE SOME
CHARACTERISTICS, TRADEMARKS
OF POWERFUL KIDS?
THEY'RE EASY TO STOP.
THEY THROW A TEMPER TANTRUM
IN THE MALL, AND YOU STEP
OVER HIM.
AND HE FOLLOWS YOU WHEN YOU
STEP OVER HIM, AND THAT'S
HIS WAY OF SAYING I'M IN
AUTHORITY OVER YOU.
THE TEENAGER WHO SLAMS THE
DOOR.
WHAT DO MOST PARENTS SAY TO
THAT KID, DON'T YOU SLAM THE
DOOR IN THIS HOUSE.
DO YOU THINK IT WOULD WORK
IF YOU SAY, WHAT DOES THAT
SLAMMED DOOR MEAN, HONEY?
YOU'RE TIRED OF LIVING IN
THIS BEAUTIFUL, FOUR BEDROOM
HOME.
AND THERE ARE VERY SENSITIVE
CHILDREN.
BE CAREFUL, BECAUSE THESE
SENSITIVE KIDS COULD BE
POWERFUL BUZZARDS.
Wendy: IS THERE ALWAYS
AT LEAST ONE POWERFUL CHILD
IN THE FAMILY, OR SOMETIMES
MORE THAN ONE?
THERE CAN BE MORE THAN
ONE, BUT THERE IS USUALLY
ONE.
THE INTERESTING THING IS WE
CREATE, IN THE LITTLE TEAS
WE HAVE, LEMAN SAYS WE
CREATE THE POWERFUL CHILD.
PARENTS, YOU'RE THE POWERFUL
SOURCE.
LET'S TAKE LITTLE FLETCHER.
HE IS 18 MONTHS OLD AND HE
COULD WIN OLYMPIC GOLD IN
ARCH ARCHING HIS BACK.
AND ROGER SAYS, JUST GIVE
HIM TO ME, HONEY.
THERE IS FLETCHER BEING
HAND-FED ON MOMMY'S LAP.
YOU BE 18-MONTH-OLD
FLETCHER, AND WOULD YOU
RATHER BE FED IN MOMMY'S LAP
OR THAT PLASTIC HIGH CHAIR.
WE TEACH KIDS.
IF WE TRY TO MAKE THEM
HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY AT EVERY
TURN.
IF YOU'RE A PARENT LAYING
AWAKE AT NIGHT, AND YOU SAY,
IF THE TRUTH BE KNOWN, I
WOULD LIKE TO FEDEX MY CHILD
TO SOME FAR OFF LAND, THIS
IS A BOOK FOR YOU.
Wendy: WHY IS IT
IMPORTANT TO IDENTIFY THE
CHILD EARLY?
BECAUSE THE POWERFUL
CHILD BECOMES THE POWERFUL
ADOLESCENT.
Wendy: AND THEN ADULT?
AND THEN ADULT.
IN ALL OF THE YEARS WORKING
WITH MARRIED PEOPLE, I DON'T
HEAR PEOPLE SAY, OH,
DR. LEMAN, I LOVE THE WAY MY
HUSBAND CONTROLS ME.
THE POWERFUL PEOPLE TEND TO
BE CONTROLLERS.
WE'RE BACK TO WHAT GOOD OLD
ST. PAUL SAYS, EPHESIANS 6,
THE TRAINING OF A CHILD IS A
FUNDAMENTAL THING, BUT IT
SAYS IN THE WAY HE SHOULD
GO.
IN EPHESIANS 6, IT SAYS,
CHILDREN OBEY YOUR PARENTS,
IT IS THE RIGHT THING TO
DO.
SO IT IS THAT BALANCE -- NOT
THE AUTHORITARIAN, HEY,
YOU'RE GOING TO DO WHAT I
TELL YOU TO DO, AND MOST
PEOPLE HAVE BROUGHT THEIR
KIDS UP WITH THOSE KIND OF
ADMONITIONS.
BUT NOW WE HAVE THE PER
PERMISSIVES WHO WANT THEIR
KIDS TO BE HAPPY, AND ENROLL
THEM IN NON-COMPETITIVE
SOCCER, BECAUSE EVERY CHILD,
DR. LEMAN, SHOULD GET A
TROPHY.
BUT THE ONLY WAY, GOD'S WAY,
QUITE FRANKLY, IS TO BRING
UP KIDS IN HEALTHY
AUTHORITY.
Wendy: WERE YOU A FIRST
BORN?
NO.
I WAS A SNOOKIE.
I WAS THE BABY.
I HAVE A SISTER WHO WAS
PERFECT AND STILL IS, AND A
BROTHER WHO WAS A
QUARTERBACK ON THE FOOTBALL
TEAM.
Wendy: I'M A FIRST
BORN, AND YOU'RE THE BABY.
WE'RE VERY OPPOSITE BECAUSE
FIRST BORNS TEND TO BE
TRAILBLAZERS --
AND PERFECTIONISTS.
Wendy: AND
PERFECTIONISTS.
AND THE BABIES ARE THE
ENTERTAINERS.
AND THAT'S VERY TRUE.
MY BABY BROTHER, HE MADE US
LAUGH.
HE IS AN ATTORNEY, BUT HE IS
STILL THE JOKESTER.
BILLY CRYSTAL, CHEVY
CHASE, STEVE COLBERT, JON
STEWART, THEY'RE ALL
BABIES.
Wendy: THAT'S AMAZING.
THERE REALLY IS SOMETHING TO
THAT.
LOOK AT MY SOCKS.
Wendy: LORD HAVE
MERCY.
DO YOU SEE THE PROBLEM?
THAT IS THE BABY OF THE
FAMILY'S SOCKS.
I COMPETED WITH OLDER SISTER
AND BROTHER.
WHAT I LEARNED AS A KID --
I'VE SHRUNK MYSELF.
SO A KID CAN BE POWERFUL IN
ANY POSITION OF THE FAMILY.
THE POINT IS, IF YOU,
PARENT, CAN CHANGE YOUR
CHOOSE TO USE WITH YOUR
KIDS, YOU CAN CHANGE THAT
KID'S LIFE.
THE KID SAYS, I WANT TO GO
TO A CONCERT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO A
CONCERT.
WE'RE NOT SPENDING ALL OF
THAT MONEY.
YOU'RE THE PARENT.
YOU THINK YOU COULD SAY,
THAT'S INTERESTING.
TELL ME MORE ABOUT IT.
TELL ME WHAT YOU'VE GOT IN
MIND.
IN OTHER WORDS, YOU'RE
EITHER GOING TO TALK TO YOUR
KIDS AND MAKE A DIFFERENCE
OR THEY'RE GOING TO GO AND
SLAM AND CLICK THEIR DOOR
AND TEXT THEIR BUDDIES LIKE
A WOOD PER WOODPECKER AND
SHUT YOU OUT OF THEIR
LIVES.
Wendy: THERE IS AN
EXAMPLE IN THE BOOK, THE
PARENTS WANT THE KID TO GO
TO GRANDMA'S BIRTHDAY PARTY,
BUT HE WANTS TO GO PLAY
BASKETBALL.
INSTEAD OF SAY NO, YOU'RE
GOING -- YOU SAY YOU'RE
ASKING FOR A FIGHT.
YES.
AND THAT'S THE
AUTHORITARIAN.
I KNOW YOU WANT TO GO HANG
OUT WITH YOUR BUDDIES.
THIS IS GRANDMA'S BIG
BIRTHDAY.
YOU KNOW IN LIFE, YOU DON'T
ALWAYS DO THINGS YOU WANT.
YOUR GRANDMA, WHO I KNOW YOU
LOVE, IS NOT GOING TO BE
HERE FOREVER.
IN ALL DUE RESPECT, GET
READY BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO
LEAVE IN ABOUT 45 MINUTES.
Wendy: AND YOU SAY IT
IS A TEACHABLE MOMENT.
KIDS ARE DUMBER THAN
MUD.
IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE ME,
CALL YOUR INSURANCE AGENT.
ASK HIM WHY YOU PAY SO MUCH
FOR YOUR 16-YEAR-OLD TO
DRIVE.
AND THEY'LL TELL YOU BECAUSE
THEY'RE DUMB AS MUD.
WE HAVE TO MAKE THINGS
TEACHABLE.
THE KID IS LOOKING FOR THE
CAR KEYS ON A SATURDAY, HE
WAS SUPPOSED TO CLEAN THE
GARAGE AND HE DIDN'T.
YOU SAY VERY MATTER OF
FACTUALLY, YOU'RE NOT GOING
TO FIND THE CAR KEYS.
THEY'RE HERE IN MY POCKET.
WELL, GIVE THEM TO ME, I'M
GOING TO BE MAD.
WELL, YOU DIDN'T CLEAN THE
GARAGE.
Wendy: YOU SAY, (A) IF
YOU WANT TO HAVE A FIGHT,
AND (B) HERE IS HOW --
I THINK PARENTS WILL
BATHE THEMSELVES IN THIS
BOOK.
THERE ARE ALL KINDS OF
TAKE-AWAYS IN THIS BOOK,
WHETHER YOU'RE KID IS 14 OR
24.
Wendy: THIS IS YOUR
44th BOOK.
WHY NOW?
WHY THIS BOOK NOW?
I THINK A LOT OF PARENTS
FEEL LIKE GENERAL CUSTER ON
THAT FINAL LAST DAY OF HIS
LIFE.
WE'RE PRODUCING POWERFUL
KIDS IN MASS.
KIDS SHORTER THAN A
YARDSTICK ARE IN FULL
CONTROL OF THEIR PARENTS.
Wendy: BUT POWERFUL CAN
BE GOOD --
AND YOU WANT YOUR KID TO
BE STRONG-WILLED.
YOU WANT YOUR KID TO STAND
UP AND SAY -- YOU WANT TO
HAVE CONVICTIONS.
AND YOU WANT YOUR KID TO BE
DIFFERENT.
BUT THE POWERFUL KID HAS AN
AGENDA THAT SAYS I'M GOING
TO WIN, I'M GOING TO
DOMINATE, AND I'M GOING TO
CONTROL.
AND YOU DON'T WANT THAT
BECAUSE IT IS UNHEALTHY ALL
AROUND.
Wendy: IT IS
FASCINATING BECAUSE IT IS
GOING TO HELP A LOT OF
PARENTS.
DR. LEMAN'S LATEST BOOK IS
CALLED "PARENTING YOUR
POWERFUL CHILD."
IT IS AVAILABLE WHEREVER
BOOKS ARE SOLD.
THANK YOU FORBEING HERE.
THANK YOU, WENDY.
Pat: TREMENDOUS.
GET THE BOOK AND LEARN.
UP NEXT, YOUR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS.
NORMA SAYS, QUOTE,"BOTH MY
HUSBAND AND I WORK.
I'M A CHRISTIAN, BUT HE IS
NOT.
DO I TITHE ON MY INCOME OR
BOTH OUR
Wendy: AND WELCOME BACK
TO "THE 700 CLUB."
IT IS TIME FOR YOUR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS, "BRING IT ON,"
AND PAT IS HERE TO ANSWER.
NORMA WRITES, "BOTH MY
HUSBAND AND I WORK.
I'M A CHRISTIAN BUT HE IS
NOT.
DO I TITHE ONLY ON MY INCOME
OR BOTH OF OUR INCOMES?"
Pat: IT IS YOUR INCOME
YOU'RE TITHING ON.
IF YOU WANT TO GET A SPECIAL
BLESSING FROM THE LORD, I
SUPPOSE YOU COULD GO THE
EXTRA FILE AND TITHE ON HIS,
TOO.
Wendy: IF HE IS OKAY
WITH IT.
Pat: YOU'D BE PAYING
OUT OF YOUR MONEY A TITHE
AGAINST WHAT HE OWES.
I THINK THAT'S WHAT SHE IS
SAYING.
YOU CAN'T TAKE HIS MONEY
AWAY FROM HIM UNLESS HE IS
RATHER SUBMISSIVE.
Wendy: YEAH, THAT COULD
BE DANGEROUS.
KERRY WRITES, "SINCE GOD IS
THE FATHER, THE SON AND THE
HOLY SPIRIT, DO I HAVE TO
PRAY TO GOD, OR CAN I JUST
PRAY TO JESUS, SINCE JESUS
IS GOD.
AND WHEN I PRAY TO JESUS, AM
I PRAYING TO JESUS, AM I
PRAYING TO GOD.
AND WHEN I PRAY TO JESUS,
ARE MY PRAYERS BEING
ANSWERED BY GOD?"
THIS IS A GOOD QUESTION.
Pat: I THINK THE GOD
HEAD IS A MYSTERY, THE
TRINITY IS A MYSTERY.
TECHNICALLY WE PRAY TO THE
FATHER IN THE HOLY SPIRIT,
IN THE NAME AND AUTHORITY OF
JESUS.
HE IS LIKE THE POWER OF
ATTORNEY.
SO WE SAY IN JESUS' NAME.
THAT'S OUR POWER OF
ATTORNEY.
I'M IN THE HOLY SPIRIT
TALKING TO THE FATHER.
THAT'S TECHNICALLY THE WAY
IT HAPPENS.
I DON'T THINK GOD GETS MAD
AT YOU IF YOU PRAY TO
JESUS.
HE DOESN'T GET MAD IF YOU
SAY OH, FATHER.
HE KNOWS OUR HEARTS.
WHAT HE IS INTERESTED IN HE
IS A SPIRIT.
THEY THAT WORSHIP MUST
WORSHIP IN SPIRIT AND IN
TRUTH.
HE IS NOT ALL HUNG UP ON
FORMS, I DON'T THINK.
HE WANTS INTIMACY WITH OUR
SPIRIT MERGING INTO HIS
SPIRIT.
ALL RIGHT.
Wendy: MARGARITA
WRITES, "ARE SEA SHELLS BAD
LUCK?
I'VE ALWAYS HEARD THEY ARE.
HOWEVER, I'M A CHRISTIAN,
AND I KNOW A SHELL WON'T
HAVE THE POWER TO BRING EVIL
INTO MY LIFE.
I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR
THOUGHTS.
ALSO, HOW ABOUT WALKING
UNDER A LADDER?"
Pat: IF YOU'RE WALKING
UNDER A LADDER, AND IF A GUY
IS PAINTING, HE MIGHT HIT
YOU IN THE HEAD WITH A
BUCKET OF PAINT.
BUT THERE IS NOTHING
SUPERSTITIOUS ABOUT IT.
Wendy: OR WALKING ON A
CRACK.
Pat: THAT HASDO
WITH PAGANISM.
YOU GO ONLINE, AE
BLACK CAT COMES IN FRONT OF
YOUR PATH.
THERE ARE A LOT OF
SUPERSTITIONS, AND NONE OF
THEM HAVE ANY BIBLICAL
SIGNIFICANCE.
WE'RE NOT BOUND BY THOSE
THINGS.
KEEP THAT IN MIND.
Wendy: "I'M 13 YEARS
OLD, AND I HAVE A QUESTION:
CAN YOU GET MARRIED IN
HEAVEN?
WHAT IF I DIE ALONE, CAN I
FIND A SPOUSE IN HEAVEN?"
Pat: DAVID, I HATE TO
TELL YOU, BUDDY, IF YOU DIE
SINGLE, YOU'VE HAD IT.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET
MARRIED.
Wendy: DAVID, YOU'RE
ONLY 13.
YOU HAVE TIME.
Pat: RIGHT NOW YOU CAN
GET MARRIED.
BUT JESUS SAID, WE'RE LIKE
THE ANGELS.
THEY'RE NEITHER MARRIED NOR
GIVEN TO MARRIAGE IN
HEAVEN.
WE HAVE MARRIAGE FOR THE
PROCREATION OF CHILDREN.
YOU'RE LIKE ANGELS.
YOU'RE NOT MALEAND FEMALE
INHEAVEN.
YOU'RE ANGELS.
SO, NO,YOU WILL NOT GET
MARRIED IN HEAVEN.
I'M SORRY.
DO IT NOW.
YOU'RE 13, YOU BETTER
HURRY -- ONLY KIDDING.
Wendy: A VIEWER WRITES,
"IF YOU ARE SAVED AND THEN
BLOW IT BIG TIME, CAN YOUR
SALVATION BE TAKEN AWAY.
HOW CAN I KNOW WHEN I GET TO
HEAVEN I WON'T BE TURNED
AWAY?"
Pat: HOW DO WEKNOW
THAT WE ARE BORN AGAIN?
BECAUSE WELOVE THE
BRETHREN.
HOW DO WE KNOW WE'RE BORN
AGAIN BECAUSE WE ALWAYS DO
THE THINGS THAT ARE PLEASING
TO THE LORD.
HOW DO WEGOINGWE'RE
TO HEAVEN BECAUSE AS WE WALK
IN THE LIGHT, AS HE IS IN
THE LIGHT, WE HAVE
FELLOWSHIP WITH ONE
ANOTHER.
AND THE BLOOD OF JESUS
CHRIST CONTINUOUSLY CLEANSES
US FROM ALL SIN.
THAT'S WHAT WE WANT TO DO.
AND WE JUST SHOULDN'T -- YOU
KNOW, I HEARD OF ONE YOUNG
MAN, AND THIS LADY
EVANGELIST WHO WERE OUT ON A
WALK IN A COUNTRY PLACE.
AND THEY GOT MORE AND MORE
INTIMATE.
AND FINALLY ATTHEIR AT THE
POINTOF ULTIMATE INTIMACY,
THIS LADY SAYS, O GOD,
FORGIVEUS FOR WHAT WE'RE
ABOUT TO DO.
AND THE OTHER GUY WAS SO
CRACKEDUP, IT KILLED THE
MOMENT.
O LORD, FORGIVE US FOR WHAT
WE'RE ABOUTTO DO.
THE IDEAIS DON'T SIN.
IF YOUSIN, HE'LL FORGIVE
YOU.
BUT YOU DON'T KEEP ON
SINNING.
IF ANYBODYIS BORN AGAIN, HE
DOES NOT CONTINUE IN SIN.
HOW DO YOUKNOW?
YOU KNOW BECAUSEYOU LOVE
HIM.
YOUKNOW BECAUSE YOU LOVE
THE BRETHREN.
YOU KNOW BECAUSEYOU HAVE
THE WITNESS OF THE HOLY
SPIRIT AND YOU'RE WALKING IN
THE LIGHT.
Wendy: CLAUDIA WRITES,
"I'M 69 YEARS OLD AND
CONTINUE TO WORK FULL-TIME.
I'M TRYING TO GET A
PART-TIME JOB TO SUPPLEMENT
MY INCOME.
I HAVE TITHED FOR 45 YEARS.
I CANNOT FIND AN EMPLOYER
WHO WILL GIVE ME A CHANCE
WHERE I WILL SUCCEED.
HOW CAN I KEEP DEPRESSION
AWAY AND STAY POSITIVE?"
Pat:IS 69?
Wendy: SHE IS 69 AND
LOOKINGFOR A FULL-TIME
JOB.
Pat: UNFORTUNATELY,
BECAUSEOF HEALTH ISSUES,
THERE AREVERY FEW EMPLOYERS
WHO ARE GOING TO EMPLOYEE
PEOPLE AT 69 YEARS OLD.
LET MESUGGEST THIS: THERE
ARE A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
JOBS INTELEMARKETING, AND A
TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
OPPORTUNITIES TO START YOUR
OWN BUSINESS.
I WASTALKING THE OTHER DAY
ABOUT MARY CROWLEY, HOME
INTERIOR BUSINESS, AND SHE
STARTED HER OWN BUSINESS AT
60.
I HAD LUNCH WITH MARY KAY,
OF MARY KAY COSMETICS, AND
SHE WAS 80 YEARS OLD AND
STILL LEADING THAT COMPANY.
ASK GODWHAT YOU'RE GOOD
AT.
MAYBE STARTOWN.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO ASK
SOMEBODY TO GIVE YOU A JOB.
YOU ASK THEHE HAS
GOT FOR YOU AND MAKE YOUR
OWN JOBS.
Wendy: MY GRANDMOTHER
STARTED PAINTING IN HER
60s, JUST BEAUTIFULLY.
LIKE GRANDMA MOSES' STYLE.
AND SHE IS 96 AND STILL
ALIVE.
SHE MAINLY GAVE THEM TO THE
FAMILY.
WE ALL LOVE THEM SO MUCH.
YOU KNOW, SHE IS 96 NOW, BUT
SHE STOPPED PAINTING FROM
AROUND 90.
SO FROM 60 TO 90 SHE WAS
PAINTING.
Pat: ASK THE LORD FOR
THAT.
INSTEAD OF SAYING I WANT TO
FIND A JOB.
I'M DEPRESSED AND I CAN'T
FIND A JOB.
ASK THE LORD.
HE HAS GREAT THINGS FOR
YOU.
Wendy: LIONI
WRITES, "I'M LOSING FAITH IN
GOD AND I'M HAVING A LOT OF
DOUBT ABOUT HIM.
I DON'T MEAN TO.
BUT SOMETIMES I'M CONFUSED.
I DON'T KNOW IF HE IS REAL.
WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS
ISSUE?"
Pat: I'M A GREAT
BELIEVER OF GOING OFF BY
YOURSELF, AND WRITING A LIST
OF YOUR SINS, AND ASKING GOD
TO FORGIVE YOU AND THEN
TEARING THAT LIST UP.
AND BEGINNING TO WALK WITH
HIM AND PRAISE HIM.
A TIME OF RETREAT FOR
SEVERAL DAYS, WHERE YOU GET
AWAY FROM ALL OF THIS STUFF
AND YOU FOCUS ON THE LORD
AND YOUBEGIN TO WORSHIP AND
PRAISE HIM.
O THOU THAT INHABIT THE
PRAISES OF THY PEOPLE.
HE LIVES IN THE PRAISE OF
HIS PEOPLE.
YOU ENTERHIS COURSE
WITH PRAISE AND YOU COME
INTO HIS GATES WITH
THANKSGIVING.
YOUBEGIN TO THANK HIM AND
SPEND TIME THANKING HIM FOR
ALLHAS DONE INSTEAD OF
SAYING I HAVE DOUBTS AND I'M
NOT SURE YOU'REREAL.
STOPTHAT.
START THANKING HIM FOR YOUR
LIFE, AFAMILY --
WHATEVER YOU'VEGOT.
A LITTLE SONG WE USED TO
SING IN SUNDAY SCHOOL, COUNT
YOUR MANY BLESSINGS, NAME
THEMBY ONE, AND SEE THE
THINGS THAT GOD HASDONE.
COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS AND
THANKHIM FOR IT AND PRAISE
HIM FOR IT.
HE WILL INHABIT THE PRAISES
OF HIS PEOPLE.
Wendy: HE WANTS TO
REVEAL HIMSELF TO US.
Pat: EXACTLY.
AND THE WAY THAT HAPPENS IS
WE THANK AND PRAISE HIM.
NOT SIT THERE SAYING I DON'T
BELIEVE YOU'RE REAL.
THAT'S NOT IT.
Wendy: ALL RIGHT.
Pat: DENNI DENNIS
RODRIGUEZ IS A GREAT DAD AND
IS DEVOTED TO HIS WIFE AND
CHILDREN.
RECENTLY HE FACED A HUGE
PROBLEM: DENNIS DIDN'THAVE
ENOUGH MONEY TO FEED HIS
FAMILY.
Reporter: DENNIS
RODRIGUEZ HAD ALREADY BEEN
WITHOUT REGULAR EMPLOYMENT
FOR MONTHS.
AND EVERY DAY HE COULDN'T
FIND A JOB MEANT ANOTHER DAY
HIS CHILDREN WOULD SUFFER.
WITHOUT FOOD TO GIVE
THESE CHILDREN, I FELT VERY
ASHAMED.
Reporter: THEIR BABY
WAS THE YOUNGEST OF THREE
CHILDREN, AND SHE SEEMED TO
BE SUFFERING THE WORST.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO
DO.
I WOULD TELL MY HUSBAND, THE
CHILD IS HUNGRY.
MY DAUGHTERS' CRIES MADE
MY HEART HURT.
I WOULD CRY, TOO, AND SAY,
LORD, HELP ME.
WHAT CAN I DO?
Reporter: THE PASTOR OF
THEIR CHURCH PRAYED FOR THE
FAMILY AND LOOKED FOR WAYS
TO HELP THEM.
ONE DAY HE HEARD ABOUT
"OPERATION BLESSING."
THE PASTOR SAID
"OPERATION BLESSING" STAFF
WAS COMING TO HELP US.
WE COULD NOT BELIEVE IT.
Reporter: A FEW DAYS
LATER "OPERATION BLESSING"
CAME TO THEIR HOME WITH
EVERYTHING THEY NEEDED TO
START A SMALL BUSINESS,
MAKING AND SELLING PIÑATAS,
A HONDURAN FAVORITE.
I WAS THE HAPPIEST
MOTHER.
I DIDN'T CRY WITH SADNESS,
BUT I CRIED WITH JOY.
Reporter: THE FIRST
DAY, THEY MADE 40, AND SOLD
EVERY ONE.
THE NEXT DAY IT HAPPENED
AGAIN.
NOW DENNIS CAN AFFORD TO BUY
MILK AND GOOD FOOD FOR HIS
CHILDREN.
THANK YOU FOR BLESSING
US.
MY FAMILY AND I LOVE YOU
VERY MUCH.
THANKS, "OPERATION
BLESSING," FOR HELPING US.
MY CHILDREN ARE NO LONGER
HUNGRY.
Pat: ISN'T ITWONDERFUL
THAT YOU CANMAKE A
DIFFERENCE IN SOMEBODY'S
LIFE.
YOU CAN HELPSOMEBODY THAT
IS POOR AND SUFFERING.
WE BELIEVE IN THAT.
WE BELIEVE IN REACHING OUT
TO PEOPLE WHO HURT.
YOU KNOW, I STARTED
"OPERATION BLESSING" YEARS
AND YEARS AGO, ON THE
STRENGTH OF THE 58th
CHAPTER OF ISAIAH.
WE JUST DID WHAT IT SAID
THERE.
AND WE STARTED HELPING
PEOPLE, AND OUT OF THAT HAS
GROWN A HUGE MINISTRY.
"OPERATION BLESSING" HAS
GIVEN$1.4 BILLION TO THE
POOR AND NEEDY AROUND THE
WORLD.
AND THAT'S WHAT YOU JUST
SAW.
THE RODRIGUEZ FAMILY IS ONE
EXAMPLE.
IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE,
I ASK YOU TO JOIN OUR "700
CLUB."
WE WANT TO GIVE YOU THIS.
IT'S CALLED "POWER FOR
LIFE."
WE HAVE WONDERFUL PRAYER
MEETINGS HERE AND WE TAKE
THESE PRAYER MEETINGS AND
MAKE LITTLE TAPES OF THEM
AND WE CAN SEND THEM TO
YOU.
THAT'SSOMETHING THAT WE
GIVE TO THOSE WHO JOIN
PLEDGEEXPRESS.
TOMORROW, THERISING STAR
WHO'S MAKINGWAVES IN THE
COUNTRY MUSIC BUSINESS.
TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH
THESE WORDS FROM 2 TIMOTHY:
"THE LORD WILL DELIVER ME
FROM EVERY EVIL WORK AND
PRESERVE ME FOR HIS HEAVENLY
KINGDOM."
SEE YOU TOMORROW.
BYE-BYE.
