THERE WAS A DEEPER SCREAM

COMING OUT OF THE HEART OF

THIS COUNTRY.

Wendy: BISHOP T.D.

JAKES TALKS TO SCOTT ROSS BY

RACE.

RECONCILIATION...

YOU CANNOT INTEGRATE AND

DISCRIMINATE AT THE SAME

TIME AND CALL IT JUSTICE.

Wendy: AND REPAIRING

OUR BROKEN COMMUNITIES.

BOY, IF WE START DOWN

THIS TRAIL, THIS IS GOING TO

BE A LONG-WINDING ROAD.

Wendy: TODAY ON "THE

700 CLUB."

Pat: WELCOME TO THIS

EDITION OF "THE 700 CLUB."

WE'RE DELIGHTED TO HAVE ALL

OF YOU WITH US.

INDIA, AS I POINTED OUT IN

THIS PROGRAM SOME WEEKS AGO

IS MOVING.

THE ACTUAL NATION OF INDIA

IS MOVING.

IT DOESN'T MOVE A LOT, BUT

IT IS MOVING AND IT HITS UP

AGAINST THE MOUNTAINS THAT

WERE KNOWN AS THE

HIMALAYAS.

AND IT STARTED MOVING AGAIN,

AND THERE IS A MAJOR

EARTHQUAKE IN NEPAL, THIS

TIME WITH A MAGNITUDE OF

7.3.

IT HIT JUST OVER TWO WEEKS

AFTER THAT MASSIVE QUAKE

WHICH KILLED OVER 8,000

PEOPLE.

THIS LATEST ONE WAS FELT AS

FAR AWAY AS NEW DEHLI AND

INDIA.

Terry: AND EVEN MORE

ARE DEAD AFTER TODAY'S QUAKE

WHICH TRIGGERED LANDSLIDES,

DESTROYED BUILDINGS, AND MAY

HAVE BURIED PEOPLE ALIVE.

DALE HURD HAS THE STORY.

Reporter: THIS LAWMAKER

WAS ADDRESSING PARLIAMENT IN

THE AFTERNOON WHEN THE

CAMERA STARTED TO SHAKE.

TERRIFIED LAWMAKERS FLED THE

AUDITORIUM.

THE MAGNITUDE 7.3 QUAKE HIT

A REMOTE REGION NEAR THE

CHINESE BORDER, BETWEEN THE

CAPITAL OF KATHMANDU AND MT.

EVEREST.

THIS MAN SAID, THIS WAS A

JOLT JUST LIKE THE BIG ONE

LAST MONTH, THOUGH IT WAS

NOT THAT LONG.

I WAS VERY SCARED.

THE GOVERNMENT SAYS SEVERAL

BUILDINGS COLLAPSED IN AN

ISOLATED TOWN THAT HAS

BECOME A HUB AFTER THE FIRST

QUAKE.

A RESCUE TEAM HAS BEEN

SEARCHING THROUGH THE

WRECKAGE OF THE TOWN.

THE DEATH TOLL FROM THE

FIRST EARTHQUAKE IS NOW OVER

8100 PEOPLE AND STILL

CLIMBING, AND IT ALSO

INJURED ALMOST 18,000.

AND IT FLATTENED MOUNTAIN

VILLAGES AND DESTROYED

BUILDINGS.

AT 7.8 ON THE RICHTER SCALE,

IT WAS NEPAL'S WORST

RECORDED EARTHQUAKE SINCE

1934, AND THERE HAVE BEEN

MORE THAN 150 AFTERSHOCKS.

TODAY'S 7.3 QUAKE WAS TWO

MILES DEEPER IN THE EARTH,

MAKING IT NOT AS STRONG.

THIS VIDEO FROM "OPERATION

BLESSING" SHOWS PATIENTS AT

ONE OF THE BIG HOSPITALS IN

KATHMANDU WHO HAD TO BE

MOVED OUTSIDE AFTER TODAY'S

QUAKE.

"OPERATION BLESSING" HAS

BEEN ON THE SCENE SINCE THE

FIRST EARTHQUAKE, PROVIDING

SAFE WATER AND FOOD AND AID,

OFTEN IN REMOTE, UNREACHED

VILLAGES.

THEY ARE OPERATING CHLORINE

GENERATORS TO DISINFECT UP

TO 800,000 GALLONS OF WATER

A DAY AND THEN DELIVERING IT

TO SURVIVORS.

DALE HURD, CBN NEWS.

Pat: IT IS A GREAT

TRAGEDY, LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN, BUT IT HAPPENS.

THE WORLD WE LIVE ON, THIS

PLANET WE INHABIT, THE

TECHTONIC PLATES NOW.

THEY MOVE OUT IN

CALIFORNIA.

THERE IS THE INDIAN PLATE.

AND YOU CAN SEE THE ASIAN

PLATE, AND INDIA IS JAMMED

UP AGAINST THAT EURASIAN

PLATE.

AND EVERY SO OFTEN IT

MOVES.

AND SO IT HAS MOVED, AND IT

CAUSED A GREAT DEAL OF

DAMAGE.

IF NO PEOPLE WERE LIVING

THERE, IT WOULD JUST BE MORE

MOUNTAIN AND ROCK SLIDES,

BUT IN THIS CASE IT IS A

TRAGEDY. SO "OPERATION

BLESSING" IS THERE.

A BIG THING WE'RE DOING IS

COLOR REN.

CHLORINE.

WE'RE CHLORINATING WATER SO

THEY CAN HAVE SAFE DRINKING

WATER.

800,000 GALLONS OF THAT

STUFF.

WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO

CREATE CHLORINE, WHICH IN

TURN PURE FIS PURIFIES THE

WATER.

IF YOU WANT TO HELP, BY THE

WAY, AND "OPERATION

BLESSING" IS THERE, IT'S

DISASTER RELIEF.

1-800-759-0700.

JUST ASK FOR THE RELIEF

FUND.

THIS IS "OPERATION

BLESSING."

> IN OTHER NEWS, HERE AT

HOME, BIG GOVERNMENT HAS

BECOME A BIG AND VERY

EXPENSIVE PROBLEM.

OUR WENDY GRIFFITH HAS THAT

STORY FROM THE CBN NEWS

ROOM.

HERE IS WENDY.

Wendy: YOU'VE GOT THAT

RIGHT, PAT.

GOVERNMENT REGULATIONS ARE

PROVING TO BE VERY COSTLY

FOR THE ECONOMY.

A NEW REPORT SAYS THOSE

REGULATIONS COST THE U.S.

NEARLY $1.9 TRILLION A

YEAR.

THAT'S THE FINDING FROM AN

ANNUAL REPORT CALLED "THE

10,000 COMMANDMENTS" FROM

THE COMPE COMPETITIVE

ENTERPRISE INSTITUTE.

AND THE REPORT POINTS OUT

THAT THE COST OF U.S.

BUREAUCRACY ADDS UP TO

NEARLY $15,000 PER HOUSEHOLD

EVERY YEAR.

THAT'S A LOT OF CASH FOR

AMERICANS TO HAVE TO PAY.

Pat: WENDY, THAT'S THE

BLESSING OF LIBERALISM.

THAT'S WHAT THEY BRING US.

IT IS LIKE A BLIGHT.

IT'S A CURSE.

YOU KNOW WHAT I WOULD

SUGGEST -- I DON'T KNOW WHO

WOULD GET ELECTED PRESIDENT,

BUT IF THERE IS A REPUBLICAN

GOING IN, WHAT HE SAYS IS

I'M GOING TO ISSUE AN

EXECUTIVE ORDER THAT THESE

LAWS THAT ARE BEING PASSED

BY THESE FEDERAL AGENCIES

ARE JUST NULLIFIED,

ESPECIALLY ALL THOSE WITH

CRIMINAL SANCTIONS.

JUST, LITERALLY, WITH THE

STROKE OF A PEN A PRESIDENT

COULD NULLIFY THOSE THINGS.

EACH BUREAUCRAT THINKS WHAT

HE DOES IS IMPORTANT.

AND BECAUSE HE THINKS IT IS

IMPORTANT, HE THINKS HE HAS

TO HAVE A BIGGER AGENCY TO

TAKE CARE OF THE THING HE

THINKS IS IMPORTANT.

SO HE PUTS ON LITTLE

AGENCIES, AND THEY, IN TURN,

THINK WHAT THEY'RE DOING IS

IMPORTANT.

AND SO THEY GET MORE AND

MORE AND MORE AND MORE.

IT'S LIKE A FUNGUS.

IT SPREADS.

IT IS AN EVIL FUNGUS.

AND IT NEEDS TO BE

DESTROYED.

WENDY?

Wendy: PAT, THE NUMBER

OF AMERICANS WHO ARE NOT

AFFILIATED WITH ANY

PARTICULAR RELIGION IS ON

THE RISE.

AND THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO

CALL THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS

IS FALLING.

THOSE ARE THE FINDINGS IN A

NEW PEW RESEARCH POLL.

71% OF AMERICANS CALLED

THEMSELVES CHRISTIANS IN

2014.

COMPARE THAT TO 78% BACK IN

2007.

23% IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS

ATHEISTS, AGNOSTIC, OR OF NO

PARTICULAR FAITH LAST YEAR.

COMPARE THAT TO ONLY 16% IN

2007.

RESEARCHERS SAY THE DROP IN

THE NUMBER OF CHRISTIANS MAY

BE DRIVEN BY DECLINES IN

MAIN LINE OR LIBERAL

PROTESTANT AND CATHOLIC

CHURCHES.

IN ARE CALLING IT

GENOCIDE, FROM KENYA TO

SYRIA TO PAKISTAN, MUSLIMS

AND ADDICTS OF SLAUGHTERING

CHRISTIANS.

ACTIVISTS ARE ANSWERING THE

CALL.

OUR ERICK STAKELBECK

RECENTLY SPOKE TO A NUN WHO

IS ON A DANGEROUS MISSION TO

HELP PERSECUTED CHRISTIANS.

Reporter: THE ISLAMIC

TERROR GROUP ISIS IS LEAVING

A TRAIL OF DESTRUCTION

ACROSS LARGE PARTS OF SYRIA

AND IRAQ, WITH A SPECIFIC

TARGET IN ITS CROSS-HAIRS.

HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF

CHRISTIANS HAVE BEEN

DISPLACED FROM THEIR HOMES,

AND COUNTLESS OTHERS HAVE

BEEN MURDERED OR ENSLAVED BY

THE JIHADIST ARMIES OF

ISIS.

SISTER HOPTUN DOGAN HAS BEEN

ON THE GROUND AND WITNESSED

THE DEVASTATION OF THESE

ANCIENT CHRISTIAN

COMMUNITIES.

SHE HAS LISTENED TO

SURVIVORS TELL HOW CHRISTIAN

AND YAZIDI WOMEN ARE SOLD

INTO SEX SLAVERY.

THEY CHOOSE THE BEAUTIFUL

ONES, AND THEY SELL THESE

LADIES TO EACH OTHER.

THEY THINK THERE ARE 12,000

KIDNAPPED IN THE HANDS OF

THE ISIS AND YAZIDIS ALONE.

WHAT IS GOING ON THERE IS

THE HIGHEST BARBARISM ON THE

EARTH TODAY.

Reporter: HER

FOUNDATION HELPS THE POOR

AND PERSECUTED IN 35

COUNTRIES, PROVIDING THEM

WITH FOOD, CLOTHING,

MEDICINE, AND SHELTER.

SHE TRAVELS CONSTANTLY, WITH

A SPECIAL FOCUS ON THE

MUSLIM WORLD.

THE RISE OF ISIS HAS

FREQUENTLY BROUGHT HER TO

SYRIA AND IRAQ TO HELP THE

REGION'S BELEAGUERED.

I AM COMING HERE NOT FOR

HOLIDAY.

I AM COMING HERE SO THAT THE

WORLD HEARS THE WORD.

I AM THE GENERAL FOR THEM.

THAT IS NI MISSION.

Reporter: THE SISTER IS

NO STRANGER TO ISLAMIC

PERSECUTION.

AS A YOUNG GIRL, THREATS

FROM LOCAL MUSLIMS FORCED

HER FAMILY TO LEAVE THEIR

HOME IN TURKEY.

THEY RELOCATED TO GERMANY,

WHERE SHE OPERATES HER

FOUNDATION AND SOUNDS THE

ALARM ABOUT THE GATHERING

ISLAMIC STORM.

THE MISSION OF THE ISIS

IS TO CONVERT THE WORLD TO

ISLAM RELIGION AND TO BRING

THEM TO THE SALOM, THEY CALL

THAT.

AND ISLAM IS NOT PEACE,

PLEASE.

AND WHO SAYS ISIS HAS NOT

WISHED ISLAM IN CONNECTION

TO SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS A

TO A LIAR.

ISIS IS ISLAM, AND ISLAM IS

ISIS.

Reporter: SHE IS

DISAPPOINTED BY WHAT SHE

CALLS IS A WEAK REACTION

FROM THE WEST.

WE KNOW THERE IS NO

DEMOCRACY.

ISLAM, DEMOCRACY IS

OPPOSITE, LIKE BLACK AND

WHITE.

I HOPE THAT AMERICA WILL

UNDERSTAND.

AMERICA HAS TODAY THE POWER

THAT THEY CAN STOP THIS

DISASTER ON THE EARTH, WITH

ANOTHER WESTERN COUNTRY.

Reporter: AS FOR THE

SISTER, SHE SAYS SHE'LL KEEP

CALLING ATTENTION TO THE

PLIGHT OF FOLLOWERS OF JESUS

AROUND THE WORLD, WHETHER

THE WEST WANTS TO HEAR IT OR

NOT.

ERICK STAKELBECK, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

Wendy: WHAT A BRAVE

NUN.

PAT?

Pat: SHE SAID THE

TRUTH: ISIS IS ISLAM, AND

ISLAM IS ISIS.

THAT IS WHAT ISLAM IS.

THIS ISN'T SOME OFF-SHOOT,

THIS ISN'T SOME ABERRATION.

THIS IS FUNDAMENTAL TEACHING

FROM THE QURAN.

THEY'RE LIVING OUT EXACTLY

WHAT MUHAMMAD TOLD THEM TO

DO.

THIS IS NOT SOME OFF-SHOOT.

TO ANYBODY WHO SAYS ISLAM IS

A RELIGION OF PEACE IS AN

ABSOLUTE LIAR OR TOTALLY

DILUTED.

ISLAM MEANS SUBMISSION, NOT

PEACE.

AND SUBMISSION IS WHEN YOU

HAVE PEACE, YES, YOU HAVE

GIVEN UP ALL OF YOUR

LIBERTIES AND YOU HAVE

SURRENDERED TO THEM, AND

THEN YOU HAVE PEACE.

OTHERWISE THEY'RE GOING TO

KILL YOU.

BUT THAT BRAVE NUN IS

SOUNDING AN ALARM.

AND, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

WE WHO CLAIM TO BE

CHRISTIANS NEED TO STAND IN

PRAYER AND IN SUPPORT.

AND THERE IS NO REASON THAT

THE UNITED NATIONS

GOVERNMENT, WITH THE POWER

IT HAS AT ITS DISPOSAL,

DOESN'T MOVE ACTIVELY

AGAINST ISIS.

IT IS JUST PLAYING WITH IT.

IT IS NOT SERIOUS.

WE ARE NOT HAVING A SERIOUS

ATTEMPT TO DESTROY THAT IN

NIORGANIZATION.

WE HAVE SOMETHING HERE IN

THE STATE OF VIRGINIA THAT

IS GOING ON THAT IS

IMPORTANT, AND WENDY HAS

THAT FOR US.

Wendy: HERE AT HOME,

BOB McDONNELL HAS GAINED A

GREAT DEAL OF SUPPORT SINCE

HE WAS CONVICTED OF PUBLIC

CORRUPTION EIGHT MONTHS

AGO.

THE FEDERAL COURT IS HEARING

ARGUMENTS TODAY.

A WIDE RANGE OF LEGAL

PROFESSIONALS HAVE FILED

BRIEFS SUPPORTING

McDONNELL'S POSITION,

INCLUDING FORMER

ATTORNEY-GENERALS FROM BOTH

PARTIES.

HE SAYS THE INTERPRETATION

WOULD MAKE ROUTINE POLITICAL

COURCOURTESIES A POTENTIAL

CRIME.

THIS PICASSO PAINTING SET

A WORLD RECORD FOR ARTWORK

ON MONDAY, SELLING FOR

$179 MILLION.

AND THE MOST EXPENSIVE EXULT

SCULPTURE WAS OVER $

$140 MILLION.

PAT, I'M SPEECHLESS.

Pat: I'M SPEECHLESS,

TOO.

EVERYBODY THOUGHT THAT ONCE

UPON A TIME PABLO PICASSO

WAS A LIMIT BIT OF A

SCREWBALL.

BUT THE TRUTH IS, THE WOMAN

OF ALGIERS, THAT IS THE NAME

OF THAT PAINTING --

$179 MILLION.

I'M PLEASED TO REPORT THAT

WE HAD BEEN GIVEN SOMETIME

AGO, AT CBN, A GOLD COIN

THAT WAS STRUCK IN A PABLO

PICASSO MOLD.

IT IS INCREDIBLE ARTWORK,

AND WE, RIGHT NOW, ARE GOING

TO HOLD ON TO IT.

AND WHO KNOWS WHAT MAY

HAPPEN, BUT IT WAS A SIGN

THAT GOD WANTED US TO GET

INVOLVED IN THE MIDDLE EAST,

SO IT WAS SOMETHING.

NOW, I AM PLEASED TO REPORT

THAT REGENT UNIVERSITY HAD

THE LARGEST GRADUATION IN

ITS HISTORY, 1500

GRADUATES.

IT WAS AN EXTRAORDINARY

TIME.

AND, TERRY, YOU WITNESSED A

MIRACLE.

Terry: WELL, I DID.

YOU WERE NOT SUPPOSED TO

HAVE A BEAUTIFUL OUTSIDE

CEREMONY, CAN I JUST SAY.

Pat: IT WAS A STORM --

ONE OF THOSE TROPIC STORMS

WAS RIGHT TO THE SOUTH OF

US, AND IT WAS ALL

CONTAINED.

WE WERE UNDER BEAUTIFUL,

SUNNY SKIES.

IT WAS A LOVELY DAY

OUTSIDE.

Terry: IT REALLY WAS.

WE GOT UP IN THE MORNING AND

LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW AND

REMARKED, HE HAS BEEN

PRAYING AGAIN.

Pat: GOD HAS DONE IT.

Wendy: I LOVE IT.

THIS PAST SATURDAY, REGENT

UNIVERSITY CELEBRATED A

MILESTONE, ONE OF MANY

HIGHLIGHTS DURING REGENT'S

35TH COMMENCEMENT.

LET'S TAKE A LOOK.

ORAL LUKE THESON, HEIDI

FREDERICK --

Reporter: THIS PAST

WEEKEND, FAMILY AND FRIENDS

GATHERED THE REGENT

UNIVERSITY TO RECOGNIZE THE

CLASS OF 2015.

DR. PAT ROBERTSON, FOUNDER

AND CHANCELLOR OF REGENT,

PRESIDED OVER THE CEREMONY.

Pat: ALL I CAN SAY IS

IT IS A GREAT DAY TO BE PART

OF REGENT UNIVERSITY.

AND THIS IS GOING TO BE A

TREMENDOUS GRADUATION.

CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL OF

YOU.

Reporter: DR. JAY

SECULO WAS THE KEYNOTE

SPEAKER.

LET ME ENCOURAGE YOU

TODAY TO BE FLEXIBLE, TO BE

MOLTEN, SO THAT GOD CAN

CREATE IN YOU THE UNIQUE

WORK THAT ONLY YOU HAVE BEEN

CREATED TO DO.

Reporter: ALSO ON HAND

WAS THE UNITED STATES

CONGRESSMAN AND REGIONAL

ALUMNI, SCOTT RIGEL.

I'M SO GRATEFUL FOR WHAT

I LEARNED HERE.

AND THAT CIVILITY IS NOT

WEAKNESS, AND WE CAN LOVE

OUR NEIGHBOR AND FIGHT FOR

OUR COUNTRY.

Reporter: REGENT

CELEBRATED ITS 20,000th

GRADUATE, REACHING A

MILESTONE.

Wendy: FROM SMALL

BEGINNINGS, PAT, TO A

FIRST-CLASS UNIVERSITY.

Pat: IT REALLY IS.

YOU KNOW, WE HAVE EIGHT

PRESTIGIOUS DEGREE PROGRAMS,

AND WE'VE ADDED 40 NEW

CONCENTRATIONS OF DEGREE

PROGRAMS IN THE LAST FEW

MONTHS.

IT IS NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED

AS THE TOP ONLINE

UNIVERSITY, AND RANKED BY

U.S. NEWS REPORT ONE OF THE

TOPS IN THE NATION ONLINE

AND ALSO HERE.

GRADUATE, DOCTORAL PROGRAMS,

AND IT IS TREMENDOUS.

Terry: AND A BIG CLASS

COMING IN IN THE FALL.

Pat: INDEED.

RECORD ENROLLMENT FOR THE

SUMMER, RECORD ENROLLMENT

FOR THE SPRING, AND IT LOOKS

LIKE IT WILL BE RECORD

ENROLLMENT FOR THE FALL.

REGENT IS ON THE MOVE.

THAT GRADUATION WAS

BEAUTIFUL.

THAT ONE LADY, NUMBER

20,000 --

Terry: SHE DIDN'T KNOW

SHE WAS GOING TO BE NUMBER

20,000.

Pat: ALL OF A SUDDEN

THE CONFETTI CANNON BLOWS UP

AND IT WAS ALL OVER THE

PLACE.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL DAY.

Terry: COMING UP,

THEY'RE CALLING THEMSELVES

THE RODNEY DANGERFIELD OF

SOCIAL MOVEMENTS, MEANING

THEY GET NO RESPECT.

AND WE'RE SAYING, COME

ON, CONGRESS, ACT ON THE

PROMISES THAT YOU MADE TO

AMERICA'S CHILDREN.

THEY CANNOT EVER FORGET

THIS IS A DEFINING ISSUE FOR

MANY, MANY AMERICANS.

Terry: SEE HOW THESE

PRO-LIFERS ARE TAKING NEW

ACTION ON CAPITOL HILL AFTER

THIS.

AND LATER ON, SCOTT ROSS

TALKS TO BISHOP T.D. JAKES

ABOUT THE CHURCH'S ROLE IN

AMERICA'S RACIAL UNREST.

Pat: YOU'RE WATCHING

"THE 700 CLUB."

WE'RE SO HAPPY TO HAVE YOU

WITH US.

IT'S A WONDERFUL DAY.

AND I HOPE IT'S A GREAT DAY

FOR YOU, WHEREVER YOU ARE.

STATES ACROSS THE COUNTRY

HAVE BEEN PASSING PRO-LIFE

BILLS IN RECENT YEARS.

THAT HASN'T BEEN THE CASE IN

WASHINGTON.

BUT NOW A NEW BILL THAT

COULD BAN ALMOST ALL

ABORTIONS AFTER FIVE MONTHS

IS ACTUALLY UNDER DEBATE IN

THE UNITED NATIONS

CONGRESS.

PAUL STRAND BRINGS US THAT

STORY.

Reporter: LAST WEEK

PRO-LIFE LEADERS PROTESTED

AT JOHN BOEHNER'S OFFICE FOR

A SECOND TIME.

THEY'RE FURIOUS

CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS

HAVEN'T BEEN BRINGING THE

BILL UP FOR VOTES.

IN A SPRAY SURPRISE

REVERSAL, THEY BANNED A BILL

FOR UNBORN BABIES.

TRAGICALLY ON THE ROE VS.

WADE MEMORIAL, THEY PULLED

LEGISLATION WHICH WOULD BAN

ABORTIONS AFTER 20 WEEKS.

THAT IS NOT JUST A BETRAYAL

OF THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT,

THAT'S A BETRAYAL OF THESE

INNOCENT CHILDREN.

Reporter: THE

PROTESTORS SAY NEARLY FOUR

MONTHS OF IN ACTION HAS BEEN

INACCUSEABLE.

THERE HAS BEEN MORE THAN

FIVE MAJOR NATIONAL POLLS

THAT ALL SHOW THAT AMERICANS

AGREE WITH US ON THIS

POINT.

IT IS TIME TO REMOVE THE

UNITED STATES FROM THE WEST

OF ONLY SEVEN COUNTRIES TO

ALLOW ABORTION AFTER THIS

POINT IN TIME.

Reporter: THERE IS

RELIEF IN THE NEWS THE HOUSE

WILL VOTE ON THE MEASURE

THIS WEEK.

THE PRO-LIFE MOVEMENT IS

DEFINITELY ON THE MOVE

THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.

AT LEAST UNTIL NOW,

WASHINGTON POLITICIANS HAVE

BEEN SLOW TO ACT.

AND WE'RE SAYING, COME

ON, CONGRESS, ACT ON THE

PROMISES THAT YOU MADE TO

AMERICA'S CHILDREN.

SOMETIMES THE DETAILS CAN

GET IN THE WAY.

Reporter: ILLINOIS

CONGRESSMAN RANDY HULLCIN

BLAMES THE DELAYS ON LAST

DELAYS FROM SOME

SUPPORTERS.

IT IS NOT A DISAGREEMENT

OVER THE IDEAS OR WHAT WE'RE

DOING, BUT MORE STRATEGY OF

HOW WE'RE DOING IT.

Reporter: SO ACTIVISTS

SAY VOTERS HAVE TO KEEP

E-MAILING AND CALLING THEIR

REPRESENTATIVES.

REVEREND MAHONEY HAS SEEN

THIS TYPE OF OBSTACLE ALL

TOO OFTEN.

I THINK IN THE PRO-LIFE

COMMUNITY, WE HAVE COME TO

REFER TO OURSELVES AS THE

RODNEY DANGERFIELD OF SOCIAL

MOVEMENTS, WE GET NO

RESPECT.

Reporter: HE IS HOPING

TO REVERSE THAT BY TAKING

ACTION, LIKE THE CAPITOL

HILL PROTEST.

WE WALKED PRECINCTS, WE

MADE PHONE CALLS, WE GAVE

MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO

REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES, AND

TRAGICALLY, LOOK WHAT

HAPPENS: WE GET COMPLETELY

BETRAYED.

YOU IGNORE US.

YOU MAKE A PROMISE AND THEN

BREAK IT.

Reporter: IN THE CASE

OF THE 20-WEEK ABORTION BAN,

G.O.P. REPRESENTATIVES RENEE

ELMERS AND JACKIE WALORSKI

DERAILED IT.

THEY SAY IT WOULD REQUIRE

RAPE VICTIMS TO HAVE

REPORTED THE RAPE.

AND DENT WAS WORRIED ABOUT

VOTING ON AN ISSUE THAT

COULD UPSET WOMEN AND YOUNG

REPUBLICANS.

THERE STILL IS A STRONG

NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO SEE

THAT AS IMPORTANT.

Reporter: MAHONEY

POINTS OUT NUMBERS THAT

SHOULD MATTER TO

POLITICIANS, THE 2014

ELECTION RESULTS.

EVERY INCUMBENT WHO LOST

WAS PRO CHOICE.

NOT ONE PRO-LIFE INCUMBENT

LOST.

Reporter: HE SAYS

REPUBLICANS VOTING PRO-LIFE

IS NOT JUST MORAL, IT IS

SMART POLITICS.

IT IS PROTECTING THEIR

POWER BASE IN THE HOUSE,

ACTUALLY ENSURING THEY WILL

WIN.

FOR DEMOCRATS, STUDIES SHOW

90% OF ALL PRO-LIFE

DEMOCRATS WIN.

Reporter: HE PLEAS FOR

PEOPLE TO GIVE CONGRESS MORE

TIME.

BAD THINGS CAN HAPPEN

VERY QUICKLY, AND GOOD

THINGS OFTEN TAKE A LONG

TIME, BUT IT IS WORTH IT.

WE NEED TO PERSEVERE.

Reporter: PAUL STRAND,

CAPITOL HILL.

Pat: THANKS, PAUL.

THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A

SUPREME COURT, FIVE

JUSTICES, CAN DETERMINE THE

OUTCOME OF A SOCIAL ISSUE

THAT IS AS CONTENTIOUS AS

THIS.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN DEBATED

IN THE LEGISLATURES.

IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN LEFT TO

THE STATES.

ROE VS. WADE WAS AN ABSOLUTE

DISASTER.

IT WAS CALLED BLACK MAN'S

ABORTION.

IT HAD NO JUDICIAL

FOUNDATION WHATSOEVER.

IT WAS A PUT UP CASE.

IT SHOULD NEVER HAVE GONE

THE WAY IT DID, AND YET IT

HAS BECOME THE CONTROLLING

LAW, AND THE PEOPLE HAVE TO

GO TO ALL OF THESE

CONTORTIONS TO GET IT EVEN

PARTIALLY CORRECTED.

TERRY?

Terry: WELL, NEXT UP TO

BAT, THE TAMPA BAY RAY WHO

IS A ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

CANDIDATE.

THE OPPORTUNITY IS IR

IRREPLACEABLE.

THREE YEARS AGO, I WAS OUT

OF THE GAME AND NOW I'M

HERE.

IT IS A DREAM COME TRUE.

Terry: STEVEN SOUZA

TALKS ABOUT TH THE

TURNAROUND THAT TOOK HIM TO

THE MAJOR LEAGUES.

THAT'S COMING UP.

Pat: BY THE WAY, THE

NEWS WAS FILLED WITH THE

SO-CALLED "DEFLATEGATE".

DID THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

DEFLATE THE FOOTBALL AGAINST

THE BRONCOS?

DID THEY DO IT?

WELL, DID BRADY DO IT?

HE HAS GOT A SUSPENSION.

THAT'S THE BIG NEWS

EVERYBODY IS TALKING ABOUT.

BUT HE WAS THE M.V.P. OF THE

SUPER BOWL.

THAT'S PRETTY GOOD FOR

PRIDE.

BUT HUMILITY, THAT'S NOT

SOMETHING YOU OFTEN SEE IN

PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES.

THAT'S WHY THE TAMPA BAY

RAYS' STEVEN SOUZA IS SUCH

AN ANOMALY.

JUST A FEW YEARS, HE LIVED A

RECKLESS LIFESTYLE AND

SUPPORTED AN ANGRY

ATTITUDE.

RECENTLY THE ROOKIE OF THE

YEAR CONTENDER TALKED WITH

OUR REPORTER, TOM BURING,

ABOUT HIS GAME-CHANGING

TURNAROUND.

Reporter: STEVEN SOUZA,

JR. IS A HIT WITH HIS NEW

TEAM.

THE ROOKIE OUTFIELDER NOW

LAUNCHES HOMERUNS WITH THE

TAMPA BAY RAYS.

THE OPPORTUNITY IS

IRREPLACEABLE.

YOU PLAY EVERY DAY IN THE

BIG LEAGUES.

THREE YEARS AGO I WAS OUT OF

THE GAME, AND NOW I'M HERE.

IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE.

Reporter: IT ARRIVE

AFTER A CAREER-BEGINNING

19.

HE WAS A THIRD ROUND PICK IN

2007.

JUMPING RIGHT IN AFTER

HIGH SCHOOL, THAT CAN GET TO

BE PRETTY HEADY STUFF, CAN'T

IT?

YEAH.

I DON'T THINK IT IS

SOMETHING YOU'RE READY FOR

IT.

SOME KIDS OUT OF COLLEGE IS

MORE READY FOR IT, AND A

LITTLE MORE READY THAN A

HIGH SCHOOL KID.

YOU'RE SO FOCUSED ON

YOURSELF YOU DON'T SEE WHAT

IS GOING ON AROUND YOU.

I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT

SUCCEEDING ON THE FIELD, I

DISREGARDED OTHER

RELATIONSHIPS.

Reporter: HIS

PROGRESSION STALLED.

THAT LED STEVEN TO SEEK A

QUICK FIX THROUGH A BANNED

SUBSTANCE.

HE WAS CAUGHT AND SUSPENDED

50 GAMES.

HE RETURNED STRONGER

PHYSICALLY BUT EMOTIONALLY

DEMANDING, CARRYING HIMSELF

LIKE A BIG FISH IN A SMALL

POND.

IF WE WERE TO TALK TO

FORMER TEAMMATES, HOW WOULD

THEY HAVE DESCRIBED YOU?

SELFISH, WORRIED ABOUT

HIMSELF.

ANGRY.

I THINK ANGRY WAS A LOT.

I HAD A SHORT FUSE.

I THOUGHT THE TOUGHER I WAS,

THE MORE PEOPLE WOULD

RESPECT ME.

I GOT INTO A LOT OF

ARGUMENTS AND FIGHTS WITH

TEAMMATES, JUST TRYING TO

KEEP THAT PRIDE.

THIS IS WHERE I WAS PICKED,

THIS IS WHERE I BELONG.

Reporter: THE POTENTIAL

WAS THERE, BUT THE

PRODUCTIVITY WASN'T.

HIS HITTING, POWER, SPEED,

FIELDING AND ARM STRENGTH

BRANDED HIM A FIVE-TOOL

PROSPECT.

STEVEN'S MINOR LEAGUE

COACHES PUSHED HIM.

I HAD A MANAGER IN 2011

WHO KEPT ME ACCOUNTABLE FOR

EVERYTHING.

IT WAS FRUSTRATING.

I WANTED TO DO WHAT I WANTED

TO DO.

HE SAID, GET OUT OF THE

CAGE.

AND I SAID NO.

AND HE CAME OUT OF THE CAGE

AND WE CAME FACE TO FACE.

HE SAID GET YOUR STUFF AND

GET OUT OF THE CAGE.

I SAID, I'LL DO YOU BETTER,

I'M GOING HOME.

I QUIT.

Reporter: STEVEN NEEDED

MORE.

AN ADDITIONAL TOOL, A CHISEL

TO HELP RESHAPE HIS

CHARACTER, ATTITUDE, AND

REPUTATION.

I READ ALL OF THESE

SELF-HELP BOOKS, AND IT

DIDN'T WORK.

I READ BOOKS ABOUT CENTERING

ITSELF, AND IT DIDN'T HELP.

I REALIZED, I'M NOT GOING TO

BE ABLE TO HELP MYSELF.

Reporter: DONE WITH

BASEBALL, STEVEN AND HIS

MISERY GREW.

BACK HOME IN SEATTLE, HE

KNEW HE NEEDED TO CHANGE.

FRIENDS SPOKE ABOUT STEPS

TOWARDS HOPE AND

RESTORATION.

WHEN YOU'RE AT THE BEACH

AND SOMETIMES YOU'RE IN THIS

TIDE, AND YOU'RE TRYING TO

SCRATCH AND CLAW TO GET BACK

UPSTREAM, AND IT'S GOING TO

TAKE YOU A LONG TIME, AND

ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS GET ON

THE SAND AND WALK BACK.

ALL I HAD TO DO IS STOP

EVERYTHING AND LOOK TO GOD.

BECAUSE GOD CAN SAVE US FROM

ALL THOSE THINGS.

Reporter: STEVEN WENT

TO CHURCH, WHERE HE EMBRACED

A RESCUING MESSAGE.

HOW CAN I HELP MYSELF IF

I'M ALREADY BROKEN.

I KNOW JESUS CAN SAVE ME.

I'M GOING TO PUT MY FAITH IN

HIM, AND I'M GOING TO

DECLARE THIS IS THE WAY I'M

GOING.

I'M GOING TO BE BAPTIZED IN

THE NAME OF THE FATHER, SON,

AND HOLY SPIRIT, AND I'M

GOING TO TURN AND WALK AWAY

FROM MY SINS.

Reporter: STEVEN MADE

CALLS APOLOGIZING TO HIS

MANAGER AND ORGANIZATION

OFFICIALS.

HE RETURNED TO PLAY IN THE

MINOR LEAGUES, SLOWLY

EARNING HIS TEAMMATES'

TRUST, WHILE DEVELOPING NEW

PERSONAL DISCIPLINE.

YOU MAY KNOW THAT JESUS

DIED ON THE CROSS, YOU MAY

KNOW HE RAISED LAZARUS FROM

THE DEATH, BUT DO YOU REALLY

KNOW JESUS?

YOU HAVE TO CONSISTENTLY

TALK WITH HIM, PRAY, AND

READING THE WORD.

THE SIN NO LONGER FILLS ME

BECAUSE I WANT TO PLEASE MY

HEAVENLY FATHER.

Reporter: STEVEN'S GAME

IMPROVED.

AND HE WAS PROMOTED TO THE

MAJOR LEAGUES AT THE END OF

2014.

THE RAYS SAW ENOUGH TO

ACQUIRE STEVEN AS THEIR

STARTING RIGHT-FIELDER.

IN THIS EARLY PART OF THE

2015 SEASON, HE IS MENTIONED

AMONG ROOKIE OF THE YEAR

CANDIDATES.

HE ISN'T AFRAID TO SHARE

THE GOSPEL AND LIVE THE

GOSPEL OUT.

SO, YOU KNOW, I COULDN'T BE

HAPPIER TO BE A TEAMMATE

WITH HIM AND LEARN AND GROW

WITH HIM.

Reporter: HOW DOES ONE

WALK IN CONFIDENCE IN A

PROFESSION THAT DEMANDS IT,

BUT YOU CARRY IT OUT WITH

HUMILITY.

I HAD TO COME BACK AND

APOLOGIZE TO EVERYONE FOR

ALL OF THE THINGS I DID.

THAT'S NOT COMMON, BECAUSE

THERE IS A LOT OF PRIDE IN

THIS GAME.

NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS HERE,

I'M HERE TO SUPPORT YOU AND

LOVE YOU AND ENCOURAGE YOU

AS A BROTHER, AS A PERSON,

AS SOMEONE WHO GOD CREATED.

THAT HUMILITY IS SO

DIFFERENT THAN THE CULTURE

OF BASEBALL THAT IT STANDS

OUT.

IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF ME, BUT

BECAUSE OF THE LOVE OF

CHRIST IN ME.

Reporter: STEVEN SOUZA,

JR., WHO'S BIG SWING AS

REDEMPTION HAS RELEASED

POWER, TRANSFORMING DEMAND

THAT MAKES THE PLAYER.

I AM IN THIS GAME BECAUSE

GOD HAS BROUGHT ME HERE.

WHENEVER HE IS READY TO TAKE

IT AWAY, I'LL GO WHERE HE

TAKES ME.

IT IS BY GOD'S WILL THAT YOU

HAVE HAD SUCCESS.

Pat: WHAT A STORY.

WHAT A STORY.

YOU KNOW, ISN'T THAT THE WAY

IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE,

THOUGH?

GOD RESISTS THE PROUD, BUT

HE GIVES GRACE TO THE

HUMBLE.

HE RESISTS THE PROUD.

AND THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH

SO MANY.

I'M TOO PROUD.

I'M NOT GOING TO ADMIT I'M A

SINNER.

I'M NOT GOING TO SAY BEFORE

GOD I'M A SINNER.

I'M NOT GOING TO ASK FOR A

SAVIOR.

I'M TOO PROUD FOR THAT.

I'M OKAY.

I'M OKAY, YOU'RE OKAY.

I'M NOT A SINNER.

I'M JUST DOING WHAT

EVERYBODY ELSE DOES.

IT'S OKAY.

I'M OKAY; YOU'RE OKAY.

THAT'S THE MANTRA WE HAVE

HERE IN THIS NATION.

BUT GOD LOOKS AT US AND HE

SAYS, YOU'RE A SINNER.

AND WHEN YOU COME BEFORE THE

LORD, IT'S LIKE JOB SAID,

I'VE HEARD ABOUT YOU WITH

THE HEARING OF THE EARS.

BUT NOW MY EYES HAVE BEHELD

YOU, AND NOW I CAN SEE YOU.

AND I ABHORE MYSELF AND

REPENT IN DUST AND ASHES.

THIS IS THE MAN WHO WAS

CONSIDERED THE MOST

RIGHTEOUS IN HIS ERA.

HE SAID, NOW I REALLY SEE

YOU.

WHEN I SEE MYSELF AGAINST

YOUR HOLINESS, IT IS A WHOLE

DIFFERENT BALLGAME.

WELL, STEVEN SOUZA FOUND

THAT.

WELL, IN YOUR CASE, WHAT

ABOUT YOU?

HAVE YOU BEEN TOO PROUD TO

SAY, I'M A SINNER.

HAVE YOU BEEN TOO PROUD TO

CONFESS TO YOUR WIFE YOU

CHEATED ON HER?

HAVARE YOU TOO PROUD TO SAY

YOU HAVE DONE THINGS THAT

ARE WRONG?

RIGHT NOW WHAT GOD IS SAYING

TO YOU, I LOOK TO THE ONE

WHO IS HUMBLE AND OF A

CONTRITE SPIRIT AND TREMBLES

AT MY WORD.

THIS IS THE ONE THAT I'M

LOOKING TOMEN TO.

AND HE SAYS TO YOU TODAY,

WILL YOU OBEY ME?

WILL YOU SURRENDER?

I'M LOOKING TO THOSE WHO ARE

HUMBLE AND OF A CONTRITE

SPIRIT.

WOULD YOU BE ONE OF THEM?

IF YOU ARE, I WANT YOU TO

PRAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW.

A WHOLE NEW LIFE IS BEING

OPENED UP FOR YOU.

JUST RIGHT NOW BOW YOUR

HEAD, RIGHT THIS MINUTE, AND

PRAY THESE WORDS.

JESUS -- THAT'S RIGHT, PRAY

WITH ME.

JESUS, YOU KNOW ME, LORD,

AND I'M SORRY, LORD, FOR THE

WAY I'VE LIVED.

YOU'VE SEEN ME, YOU'VE KNOWN

MY HEART.

AND YOU KNOW THAT THERE IS

SIN IN MY LIFE.

AND I PRAY NOW, LORD, THAT

YOU WILL FORGIVE ME AND

CLEANSE ME AND RECEIVE ME AS

YOUR OWN.

I COME TO YOU WITH HUMILITY,

LORD.

I COME TO YOU BROKEN.

AND YOU SAID A BROKEN AND A

CONTRITE HEART YOU WOULDN'T

DESPISE.

SO I COME TO YOU, LORD, AND

I SAY, GOD, I WANT YOU TO BE

MY LORD.

AND I TAKE YOU AS MY

SAVIOR.

FROM THIS MOMENT ON, I'M

YOURS.

THANK YOU, LORD.

AMEN.

AND AMEN.

IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME THAT

PRAYER, I WANT TO GIVE YOU

SOMETHING.

I WANT YOU TO SEAL IT.

I WANT YOU TO SEAL THAT

DECISION.

I'D LIKE YOU TO GO TO YOUR

TELEPHONES NOW.

JUST PICK UP THE PHONE,

WHEREVER YOU ARE.

THE NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE.

IT DOESN'T COST YOU

ANYTHING.

IT'S 1-800-759-0700.

AND I'LL GIVE YOU A LITTLE

PACKET CALLED "IT'S A NEW

DAY."

IT WILL TELL YOU ABOUT WHAT

DO YOU DO NEXT.

1-800-759-0700.

JUST CALL AND SAY, I PRAYED

WITH PAT.

I'VE GIVEN MY HEART TO THE

LORD.

I UNDERSTAND AND I BELIEVE

IN JESUS.

HE IS MY SAVIOR FROM THIS

MOMENT ON.

CALL RIGHT NOW.

THERE IS SOMEBODY ON THE

TELEPHONE WHO LOVES YOU AND

WANTS TO HEAR THE GOOD

NEWS.

WELL, TERRY HAS NEWS ABOUT

ANOTHER GUEST THAT IS COMING

UP AS YOU CONTINUE "THE 700

CLUB" TODAY.

HERE IS TERRY.

Terry: THAT'S RIGHT,

PAT.

STILL TO COME, SCOTT ROSS

GOES ONE-ON-ONE WITH T.D.

JAKES ABOUT FERGUSON,

BALTIMORE, AND THE CHURCH.

Reporter: WHERE IS THE

CHURCH?

THE CHURCH IS TOTALLY

SILENT ABOUT RACE.

WE ARE, OURSELVES,

DYSFUNCTIONAL IN OUR

ABILITY.

WE'RE FAMILY, BUT WE'RE A

DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY BECAUSE

WE CANNOT TALK ABOUT THE

ELEPHANT IN THE MIDDLE OF

THE ROOM.

Terry: STAY TUNED FOR

THIS DYNAMIC INTERVIEW.

THAT'S LATER ON TODAY'S "700

CLUB."

Wendy: WELCOME BACK TO

"THE 700 CLUB."

COMMUNITIES FROM SOUTH

DAKOTA TO TEXAS ARE

EVALUATING THE DEVASTATION

AND LOOKING FOR SURVIVORS

AFTER TORNADOES SWEPT

THROUGH.

AT LEAST FIVE PEOPLE WERE

KILLED IN SMALL COMMUNITIES

IN TEXAS AND ARKANSAS.

IT WAS A NASTY STRETCH.

YOU COULDN'T REALLY SEE

ANYTHING.

IT WAS RAINING.

WE COULD HEAR PEOPLE HOLLER

FOR HELPMENT.

IT IS IN RULE.

UNREAL.

THIS IS MY HOME TOWN.

IT IS DEVASTATED.

Wendy: THE VICTIMS

INCLUDED A YOUNG COUPLE WHO

DIED TRYING TO SHIELD THEIR

YOUNG DAUGHTER FROM THE

STORM.

THEY DIED INSTANTLY WHEN A

POWERFUL STORM RIPPED

THROUGH THEIR MOBILE HOME

PARK IN ARKANSAS.

AMAZINGLY, THEIR 1-YEAR-OLD

DAUGHTER SURVIVED.

IN VAN TEXAS, THE TORNADO

WIPED OUT MUCH OF THE TOWN.

NEARLY 120 HOMES WERE

DESTROYED OR DAMAGED.

> WELL, A BELOVED BIBLE

TEACHER AND SCHOLAR, LANCE

LAMBERT DIED AT THE AGE OF

84.

HE SERVED IN THE ROYAL AIR

FORCE IN EGYPT IN THE

1950s, WHERE HE LEARNED

ABOUT INTERSE INTERCESSORY

PRAYER.

HIMANY MEMBERS OF HIS

FAMILY DIED IN THE

HOLOCAUST.

HE SOUGHT OUT PRAY IN GOD'S

RELATIONSHIP WITH ISRAEL AND

THE JEWISH PEOPLE.

YOU CAN ALWAYS GET THE

LATEST FROM CBN NEWS BY

GOING TO OUR WEBSITE AT

CBNNEWS.COM.

PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Pat: WELL, EVERY YEAR

IN INDIA, THOUSANDS OF

CHILDREN ARE BORN WITH BIRTH

DEFECTS.

AND THEY'RE OFTEN SHUNNED BY

SOCIETY BECAUSE OF ANCIENT

SUPERSTITIONS.

Reporter: THE CHELANGI

VIVILLAGERS IN EASTERN

INDIA BELIEVE IF A WOMAN

CUTS ANYTHING DURING A LUNAR

ECLIPSE WHILE PREGNANT, THE

CHILD WOULD BE BORN WITH A

CLEFT LIP.

I DIDN'T REALIZE, BUT

DURING ONE ECLIPSE, I WAS

CUTTING VEGETABLES OR

SOMETHING.

IT IS PROBABLY BECAUSE OF ME

HE WAS BORN LIKE THIS.

Reporter: SHE AND HER

HUSBAND WORRIED THAT THEIR

SON WOULD BE MADE FUN OF HIS

ENTIRE LIFE, BUT THEY

COULDN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR

THE NEEDED SURGERY.

HER HUSBAND WORKS AS A FARM

LABORER, EARN LESS THAN $5 A

DAY.

WE HARDLY MAKE ENOUGH TO

PAY RENT, TAKE CARE OF OUR

FAMILY, AND JUST SURVIVE.

Reporter: THEN A CBN

FIELD WORKER VISITED THEIR

VILLAGE AND GAVE THEM GREAT

NEWS.

WE WOULD GIVE CHINI A

PRECLEFT LIP SURGERY AT A

NEARBY HOSPITAL.

A MONTH LATER WE VISITED

THEIR FAMILY TO SEE HOW THEY

WERE DOING.

HE LOOKED SO GOOD.

I NEVER IMAGINED THIS DAY

WOULD COME.

BEFORE THE SURGERY MY

IN-LAWS DID NOT CARE FOR

HIM.

BUT NOW THEY WON'T LET HIM

GO.

MY SON'S LIFE HAS COMPLETELY

BEEN TRANSFORMED.

I THANK EVERYONE WHO MADE

THIS POSSIBLE.

Pat: PRAISE THE LORD.

WE'RE SO GRATEFUL FOR THAT

AND WE'RE SO DELIGHTED WE

CAN HELP PEOPLE.

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, WE

CAN'T HELP THEM ALL, BUT WE

CAN BE THE HAND OF JESUS

EXTENDED.

THE LAST FEW DAYS YOU'VE

BEEN VERY RESPONSIVE, AND

THE TELETHON HAS BEEN

EXTREMELY SUCCESSFUL, AND

MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE

PARTICIPATING.

AGAIN, IT WAS MY PRIVILEGE

TO GO INTO THE AUDIO ROOM

AND READ THE PSALMS.

AND THAT'S WHAT'S BEING

OFFERED NOW.

"THE TRANSFORMING WORD,"

SELECTED VERSES FROM THE

PSALMS READ BY YOURS TRULY.

IT SEEMS TO BE PEOPLE --

Terry: YOU HAVE A

TEACHING ON THERE AS WELL, A

VIDEO, WHERE YOU REALLY TALK

ABOUT HOW TO TAKE THE POWER

OF GOD THAT'S IN THE WORD

AND UTILIZE IT IN YOUR LIFE

IN AN EFFECTIVE WAY.

EVERYBODY, I THINK, LONGS TO

KNOW HOW TO DO THAT.

Pat: I'M THRILLED.

I'M GLAD PEOPLE SEEM TO LIKE

IT.

WE GIVE THIS TO YOU WHEN YOU

JOIN "THE 700 CLUB."

IT'S JUST 65 CENTS A DAY.

Terry: COMING UP, PAT

RETURNS TO THE HOT SEAT FOR

ANOTHER ROUND OF "BRING IT

ON."

ONE VIEWER WANTS TO KNOW:

WHY DID GOD CREATE US

HUMANS?

WHAT WAS HIS PURPOSE?

STAY TUNED FOR PAT'S

ANSWER.

BUT, FIRST, SCOTT ROSS

SPARSE WITH BISHOP T.D.

JAKES AFTER THIS.

WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK.

Terry: WHEN T.D. JAKES

SPEAKS, PEOPLE LISTEN.

THE FOUNDER AND SENIOR

PASTOR OF THE 30,000 MEMBER

POTTER'S HOUSE CONGREGATION

ALSO RUNS A GLOBAL

HUMANITARIAN OUTREACH, PLUS

HE IS A BEST-SELLING AUTHOR

AND A FILM-MAKER.

SCOTT ROSS SAT DOWN WITH THE

BISHOP TO TALK ABOUT WHAT

JAKES CALLS THE ELEPHANT IN

THE ROOM: THE CHURCH'S

SILENCE ABOUT RACE.

Reporter: THE EVENTS OF

FERGUSON, MISSOURI, SENT A

SHOCKWAVE OF UNREST AND

RACIAL TENSION ACROSS

AMERICA.

ONE THAT WAS FELT MOST

RECENTLY IN BALTIMORE.

BISHOP T.D. JAKES, SENIOR

PASTOR OF THE POTTER'S HOUSE

IN DALLAS, TEXAS, AGREES

WHILE WE NEED TO FIX THE

CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM, THE

CHURCH HAS TO SPEAK UP AND

ADDRESS THE ISSUES FACING

THE BLACK COMMUNITY.

I DON'T WANT TO GET

POLITICAL HERE AND YOU

DON'T, EITHER, BUT THE BLACK

COMMUNITY OR MINORITY

COMMUNITY HAVE BEEN HAVING

CONFLICTS WITH THE POLICE --

FOR INSTANCE, THE FERGUSON

SITUATION -- HOW DO YOU

TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO RELATE

TO THE POLICEMAN WHO IS, THE

SCRIPTURE SAYS, IS A

MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL.

BUT THERE IS A BALANCE IN

HERE SOMEWHERE THAT WE SEEM

TO BE MISSING.

AND IT IS RUNNING INTO

ISSUES AND PROBLEMS FOR US.

BOY, IF WE START DOWN

THIS TRAIL, THIS IS GOING TO

BE A LONG-WINDING ROAD.

I DON'T KNOW IF I SHOULD

BUCKLE MY SEAT BELT OR YOU.

BUT LET'S GO THERE.

Reporter: ALL RIGHT.

GO AHEAD.

I THINK THAT WHAT WE'RE

SEEING ON THE SIDEWALK IS A

SYMPTOM OF A FAR DEEPER,

MORE IMPORTANT ISSUE.

I THINK THAT IT IS -- YES,

WE ARE SEEING THE LOSS OF

RESPECT FOR ALL TYPES OF

AUTHORITIES, WHETHER YOU'RE

TALKING ABOUT FATHERHOOD OR

PASTORS OR EXECUTIVES --

JUST THIS HEMORRHAGING OF

DISRESPECT IN GENERAL IS

BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION.

HAVING SAID THAT, I DON'T

THINK THAT THAT IS THE TOTAL

ANSWER THAT WE NEED TO

MAKE.

YOU RESPECT PEOPLE WHO WEAR

BLUE.

BECAUSE I THINK THERE IS A

DEEPER SCREAM COMING OUT OF

THE HEART OF THIS COUNTRY.

I THINK THAT WE HAVE A

CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM THAT

HAS BEEN HIJACKED BY

POLITICS.

I THINK THAT WE HAVE CREATED

A SYSTEM THAT HAS INEQUITIES

FOR PEOPLE.

I THINK THAT WE HAVE

PENALIZED PEOPLE FOR SMALL

MISTAKES IN THEIR YOUTH AND

LEFT THEM MARRED THE REST OF

THEIR LIVES WITHOUT THE

ABILITY TO GET A JOB, TO GET

PROPER HOUSING, TO BE ABLE

TO GET BACK UP ON OUR FEET.

AND WE WHO SIT IN OUR

BEDROOM COMMUNITIES, ON OUR

COUCHES, AND WATCH

TELEVISION, WE SAY, THIS IS

AMERICA.

YOU NEED TO WORK AND GET A

JOB.

BUT THEY'RE THE SAME PEOPLE

WHO SEE THAT YOU HAVE A

PRIOR RECORD, WOULD NEVER

HIRE YOU OR RENT TO YOU.

YOU CANNOT INTEGRATE AND

DISCRIMINATE AT THE SAME

TIME AND CALL IT JUSTICE.

I THINK THAT THE POLICE

OFFICER AND THOSE WHO

WRESTLE WITH THEM ARE JUST

SYMPTOMS OF THOSE WHO THEY

REPRESENT, A WHOLE WORLD OF

PEOPLE.

WE ARE CREATING THESE SEPTIC

TANKS OF FRUSTRATION.

AND UNTIL WE GO IN THERE AND

CLEAN THIS SYSTEM OUT AND

MAKE SURE THAT THERE IS

JUSTICE FOR ALL, WE CANNOT

LOOK AT STATS THAT SAY THERE

ARE INEQUITIES BETWEEN HOW

BLACKS AND WHITES ARE

HANDLED WHEN THEY COMMIT THE

SAME CRIME AND STEP OVER

THAT AND HAVE LUNCH, AND

THEN SAY OBTH OBEY THE GUY

IN BLUE.

IF WE'RE GOING TO BE NOT

JUST SPIRITUAL BUT

INTELLIGENT PEOPLE, WE HAVE

TO TAKE UP THE CRY OF THE

DISENFRANCHISED, NO MATTER

THE COLOR, AND WORK TO DO

THINGS IN A WAY THAT IS FAIR

AND JUST FOR ALL PEOPLE.

THE CHURCH NEEDS TO BE

LEADING THE WAY IN THIS

CONVERSATION.

Reporter: WHERE IS THE

CHURCH?

THE CHURCH IS TOTALLY

SILENT ABOUT RACE.

WE ARE, OURSELVES,

DYSFUNCTIONAL IN OUR

ABILITY.

WE'RE FAMILY, BUT WE'RE A

DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILY BECAUSE

WE CANNOT TALK ABOUT THE

ELEPHANT IN THE MIDDLE OF

THE ROOM.

Reporter: RIGHT.

AND UNTIL WE DO, THEN THE

PEOPLE IN THE STREET ARE

TAKING UP THE CONVERSATION.

AND I THINK THAT THEY ARE

GOD'S JUDGMENT ON A SILENT

CHURCH.

Reporter: WHOA!

UNTIL THE CHURCH BECOMES

RELEVANT FOR THE COMMUNITY

THAT IT SERVES AND TAKES ON

THE DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND

GOES BEYOND THE KUMBAYA

MESSAGE, JESUS IS COMING IN

THE MORNING, WHAT DO WE DO

IN THE NIGHT?

THAT'S THE MESSAGE THAT THE

CHURCH SHOULD HEAR, THAT OUR

SILENCE HAS CAUSED BLOOD TO

FLOW IN THE STREETS OF THE

CITIES THAT WE DRIVE PAST ON

THE HIGHWAYS TO GO TO

MISSION FIELDS AROUND THE

WORLD, IGNORING MISSION

FIELDS IN OUR OWN CITY.

Reporter: WHAT YOU'RE

SAYING NOW IS A PROPHETIC

VOICE, THE CHURCH SHOULD BE

PROPHETIC WHEN IT SPEAKS TO

THE ISSUES OF THE DAY, ROOT

CAUSES, ETC., AND WE'RE NOT

DOING THAT.

SO HERE IS THE QUESTION: HOW

DO I LOVE MY ENEMY?

I THINK THAT LOVE BEGINS

WITH THE COMMON HUMAN

EXPERIENCE THAT WE ALL

HAVE.

AND I THINK THAT THE LOVING

YOUR ENEMY GETS DOWN TO THE

BASIC HUMAN ISSUES: AIR,

WATER, LIGHT, FOOD, FAMILY,

BASIC HUMAN ESSENTIALS.

AT LEAST LET'S LOVE ON THE

LEVEL THAT WE EXIST AND THEN

DEBATE ON THE LEVEL THAT WE

THINK.

BUT WE HAVE LOST ALL RESPECT

AND CIVILITY.

AND I THINK THAT IT COMES

BACK TO JUST RESPECTING

PEOPLE BECAUSE GOD MADE

THEM.

HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU LOVE

GOD, WHO YOU HAVE NOT SEEN,

AND HATE THAT THAT IS A

REFLECTION THAT HE CREATED.

YOU CANNOT WORSHIP HIM UP

THERE WHILE YOU RESENT HIM

RIGHT HERE.

Terry: ALWAYS A WISE

WORD FROM PASTOR T.D.

JAKES.

YOU CAN SEE MORE OF SCOTT'S

INTERVIEW WITH T.D. JAKES.

WE HAVE AN EXTENDED WEB

EXCLUSIVE VERSION.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO WATCH THAT,

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS LOG ON

TO CBN.COM.

AND WE HOPE YOU'LL DO THAT.

> TIME TO "BRING IT ON"

WITH SOME E-MAIL QUESTIONS.

GOOD TO BE BACK WITH YOU.

HERE IS A VIEWER WHO

SAYS, "IT IS BEAUTIFUL TO

SEE ALL OF GOD'S CREATION AS

WE CONTINUE TO DISCOVER NEW

SPECIES.

MY QUESTION IS, WHY DID GOD

CREATE US HUMANS?

I UNDERSTAND THAT GOD IS

LOVE, SO WHAT WERE HIS

MOTIVES IN HAVING US BE PART

OF HIS HEAVENLY FAMILY?"

Pat: THIS IS A PROFOUND

THEOLOGICAL QUESTION, AND I

CAN'T GO INTO GREAT DETAIL.

BUT THE TRUTH IS THERE WAS

REBELLION IN HEAVEN BY CREWS

CREW CRUISEFER.

HE TOOK A THIRD OF THE

ANGELS WITH HIM.

AND GOD SAID, I'M GOING TO

SET UP AN EXHIBIT, IN A

SENSE, TO SHOW THERE IS A

SPECIES WHO WILL LOVE ME AND

SERVE ME, AND I WILL SHOW

YOU HOW THAT CAN BE DONE.

AND HE MADE MAN IN HIS IMAGE

AND PLACED THEM O ON THIS

LITTLE PLANET CALLED EARTH.

WE'RE AN EXHIBIT BEFORE

PRINCIPALLITIES AND POWERS

PRINCIPALITIES OF THE LOVE

OF GOD AND THE REDEMPTION OF

GOD.

WHAT'S NEXT?

Terry: HAVEN'T SAYS, "A

FRIEND OF MINE SAYS I

SHOULDN'T GET WORKED UP

ABOUT THE WORLD AND OUR

GOVERNMENT SITUATION.

SHE SAYS, QUOTE,"TRUST IN

JESUS AND LET HIM SORT IT

OUT."

"SHOULD WE JUST STAND BACK

AND LET JESUS TAKE THE

WHEEL?"

Pat: I DON'T THINK

THERE IS ANY THOUGHT IN THE

BIBLE OF THAT HAPPENING.

GOD HAS MADE US IN CHARGE OF

THIS PLANET, AND HE HAS

GIVEN US DOMINION, AND WE'RE

SUPPOSED TO EXERCISE

DOMINION.

WHEN CHRISTIANS EXERCISE

DOMINION, GOOD THINGS

HAPPEN.

WHEN THEY SURRENDER, BAD

THINGS HAPPEN.

IT IS HAPPENING IN OUR

COUNTRY.

WE HAVE A PRESIDENT WHO

THINKS WE SHOULD SURRENDER

DOMINION, AND THAT WE SHOULD

LEAD FROM BEHIND, AND THE

WORLD IS JUST GOING THROUGH

CHAOS ALL AROUND.

YOU SEE THESE HORRIBLE

BREAKOUTS.

WHY?

BECAUSE THE LEADERS AREN'T

LEADING.

WE HAVE TO LEAD.

GOD HAS GIVEN US DOMINION.

WE HAVE TO DO THAT.

Terry: KAY SAYS, "PAT,

IS GOLD A GOOD INVESTMENT IN

THIS POINT IN TIME?"

Pat: YOU USE THE TERM

GOOD INVESTMENT OR A BAD

INVESTMENT.

I BELIEVE IN A BALANCED

PORTFOLIO.

I'VE GOT A LITTLE BIT OF

GOLD, A LIT BIT OF GAS, AND

DEFENSE STOCKS -- YOU

BALANCE IT OUT.

A LITTLE PIECE OF YOUR

RESOURCES, 10% OR SO IN GOLD

AND SILVER, WHY NOT?

I LIKE THE GOLD G.T.F.

IT IS PRICED AT -- ONE-TENTH

OF AN OUNCE OF GOLD IS THE

PRICE OF EACH SHARE.

YOU CAN HAVE A LITTLE PIECE

OF IT AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS.

GOLD DOESN'T GIVE ANY

DIVIDENDS, SO IT IS NICE TO

HAVE SOME OF THE THINGS THAT

PAY DIVIDENDS.

Terry: AARON SAYS,

"PAT, I READ YOUR BOOK ON

HOW YOU FINALLY OBTAINED THE

BAPTISTISM OF HOLY SPIRIT.

I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO

OBTAIN THAT EXPERIENCE.

I FASTED AND HAVE BEEN

PRAYED OVER BY MIGHTY MEN OF

CHRIST.

I WANT THIS SO MUCH BECAUSE

I KNOW IT IS THE BEST WAY TO

GET CLOSER TO JESUS.

I'VE BEEN SEEKING THIS FOR

OVER FIVE YEARS.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT TO DO."

Pat: IF YOU CAME TO ME

AND SAID, PAT, I AM REALLY

HUNGRY, I'D LIKE TO BUY A

HAMBURGHAMBURGER, WOULD YOU

GIVE ME A DOLLAR.

AND I REACH INTO MY POCKET

AND HAND YOU A DOLLAR, AND

YOU SAY, PLEASE, YOU DON'T

UNDERSTAND, I'M SO HUNGRY.

PLEASE GIVE ME A DOLLAR.

HERE'S THE DOLLAR.

GOD IS HOLDING OUT TO YOU

THE FULLNESS OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT.

AND IT IS TO THEM WHO OBEY

HIM AND WHO BELIEVE.

AND WHAT YOU NEED TO DO IS

REACH OUT AND SAY, LORD,

THANK YOU.

I RECEIVE IT.

AND THEN BEGIN TO PRAISE

HIM.

AS LONG AS YOU'RE SAYING,

GIVE ME, GIVE ME, GIVE ME,

YOU'RE NOT GETTING

ANYTHING.

IF YOU JUST SAY THANK YOU,

LORD, I RECEIVE YOUR

BLESSING, AND THEN BEGIN TO

ENTER INTO THE FULLNESS OF

THE HOLY SPIRIT.

THAT IS WHAT WILL BRING YOU

WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.

READ THE SECOND CHAPTER OF

ACTS AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS

THERE.

IT WILL GIVE YOU A CLEAR

UNDERSTANDING.

THIS IS ALL OF THE TIME WE

HAVE FOR QUESTIONS.

WE LEAVE YOU WITH TODAY'S

POWER MINUTE FROM MATTHEW

17: "IF YOU HAVE FAITH THE

SIZE OF A MUSTARD SEED, YOU

WILL SAY TO THIS MOUNTAIN,

MOVE FROM HERE TO THERE, AND

IT WILL MOVE, AND NOTHING

WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE TO YOU."
