Wendy: COMING UP...HE

GREW UP IN A BROKEN HOME.

IT TURNED INTO A HOME I

DIDN'T EVEN KNOW.

Wendy: AND THEN HE

CREATED ONE HIMSELF.

I KNEW MY LIFE WAS NOW

COSTING OTHER LIVES.

Wendy: HOW HE FOUND

HOPE IN AN UNLIKELY PLACE.

I WAS, LIKE, WOW, IS IT

REALLY THAT EASY?

Wendy: THEN THE

CO-HOST OF "BREAK POINT,"

JOHN OPENS UP HIS

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO CULTURE

ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

*

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,

FOLKS, TO THIS EDITION OF

"THE 700 CLUB."

THE UNITED KINGDOM HAS

BEEN HIT WITH THREE

TERRORIST STRIKES IN LESS

THAN THREE MONTHS.

COULD THE SAME TYPES OF

DEADLY ATTACKS HAPPEN HERE

IN AMERICA?

TO YOU OR TO YOUR FAMILY?

Terry: CBN'S NATIONAL

SECURITY CORRESPOND ERIC

GONZALES LOOKS AT WHY

EUROPE HAS SUFFERED FROM

SO MANY OF THESE BRUTAL

ATTACKS IN RECENT YEARS,

AND WHY WE ALSO HAVE TO BE

CAREFUL HERE IN THE UNITED

STATES.

Reporter: WHILE THE

INVESTIGATION CONTINUES

INTO THE U.K. TERROR

ATTACKS, THE UNITED STATES

DEPARTMENT OF HOMELAND

SECURITY SAYS IT HAS NO

EVIDENCE OF A SPECIFIC

CREDIBLE TERROR THREAT IN

THE UNITED STATES.

BUT THEY ARE ADVISING

AMERICANS TO MAINTAIN

SECURITY AWARENESS.

BUT IS MAINTAINING

SECURITY AWARENESS ENOUGH?

JUST WEEK AGO, JOHN KELLEY

TOLD A MEDIA OUTLET THAT

THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WOULD

NEVER LEAVE THEIR HOMES IF

THEY KNEW WHAT HE KNEW

ABOUT TERRORIST THREATS.

SO HAS THE U.S. JUST BEEN

LUCKY?

IF WE DON'T STOP THE

JIHADISTS, WHAT WE SEE IN

EUROPE WILL HAPPEN IN

AMERICA TODAY.

Reporter: DR. WALLY

FERRIS SAYS THE REASON FOR

MORE ATTACKS IN EUROPE

THAN THE U.S. IS PARTLY

DUE TO GEOGRAPHY.

NOT ONLY IS EUROPE CLOSER

TO THE MIDDLE EAST, BUT

JIHADIS HAVE BEEN

MIGRATING THERE SINCE THE

1950s AND '60s, AND

FAILURES WHY BRITISH

INTELLIGENCE HAS ALSO

ALLOWED JIHADISTS TO

ORGANIZE.

LONDON IS BEING TOO

POLITICALLY CORRECT.

THE ESTABLISHMENT DID NOT

TOLERATE ANY CRITICISM OF

THE JIHADISTS.

IF YOU DON'T STOP THEM,

REALLY THEY'RE GOING TO

ATTACK, AND THAT'S WHAT

THEY DID.

Reporter: HE ADDS

BRITISH LAW ENFORCEMENT

HAS THEIR HANDS TIED

BECAUSE CERTAIN ACTIONS

AGAINST SPECIFIC RELIGIOUS

GROUPS COULD CAUSE

BACKLASH.

IF I CAN GET THOSE

PEOPLE OFF THE FENCE, IF I

CAN INSPIRE THEM TO DO

SOMETHING, I DON'T NEED TO

GO MYSELF.

Reporter: THIS MAN

SAYS RADICAL MUSLIMS ARE

LEAVING EUROPE FOR

TRAINING IN THE MIDDLE

EAST.

THERE THEY GET TRAINING

IN BOTH FIGHTING AND

COMMUNICATION.

THEN FROM THERE, SOMETIMES

THEY EITHER RETURN BACK TO

THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN OR

THEY COMMUNICATE BACK TO

THOSE COUNTRIES TO TRY TO

INCITE TERROR.

Reporter: EXPERTS SAY

BECAUSE THE UNITED STATES

HAS BEEN AT WAR WITH

AL-QAEDA AND ISIS FOR

YEARS, WE HAVE DEVELOPED

TOOLS TO PREVENT AND VET

RADICALS, BUT THEY ADD

AMERICANS MUST REMAIN ON

GUARD AND REPORT ANYTHING

SUSPICIOUS.

ERIC GONZALES, CBN NEWS.

Pat: ONE OF THE MEN

INVOLVED IN THE LONDON

ATTACK ON SATURDAY HAD

BEEN KNOWN TO BRITISH

AUTHORITIES.

THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE

SOMETHING ABOUT IT, BUT

THEY DIDN'T.

JOHN JESSUP THAS THAT.

John: THAT IS RIGHT,

PAT.

BRITISH LAW ENFORCEMENT

DIDN'T CONSIDER THAT MAN

TO BE DANGEROUS BEFORE HE

WAS INVOLVED IN SATURDAY

NIGHT'S DEADLY ATTACK IN

LONDON.

MARK MARTIN HAS MORE.

Mark: INVESTIGATORS

HAD KNOWN FOR YEARS THAT

ONE OF THE SUSPECTED

ATTACKERS, 27-YEAR-OLD

KHURAM SHAZAD BUTT, WANTED

STRICT ISLAMIC SHAR'IA LAW

TO BE UPHELD IN THE U.K.

A BRITISH TV DOCUMENTARY

EVEN FEATURED HIM.

IT WAS CALLED "THE JIDIS JIHADIS

NEXT DOOR."

AND A NEIGHBOR EVEN CALLED

AN ANTI-TERROR HOT LINE TO

GIVE A TIP ABOUT HIS

THREATS.

THIS MAN'S WIFE HAD

RECEIVESLY REPORTED BUTT

TO POLICE BECAUSE HE HAD

TRIED TO RADICALIZE HER

CHILDREN.

WE DON'T KNOW WHAT KIND

OF MADNESS TOOK HIM TO DO

SUCH A MADNESS THING AND

LEAVE A BEAUTIFUL -- TWO

BEAUTIFUL KIDS.

I DON'T KNOW.

I DON'T KNOW.

Mark: EXPERTS SAY

THESE INCIDENTS LEAD

OFFICIALS TO ASK IF THEY

COULD HAVE STOPPED THE

ATTACK.

WE ALWAYS ASK

OURSELVES, SHOULD WE HAVE

KNOWN?

COULD THIS HAVE BEEN

PREVENTED.

Mark: THE SATURDAY

NIGHT ATTACKS LEFT NEARLY

60 WOUNDED AND SEVEN

PEOPLE DEAD, INCLUDING

CANADIAN CHRISSY ARCHIBALD

AND JAMES OF LONDON.

IT IS IMPORTANT FOR ALL

OF US TO CARRY ON WITH OUR

LIVES, IN DIRECT

OPPOSITION TO THOSE WHO

WOULD TRY TO DESTROY US.

Mark: AND AUTHORITIES

HAVE IDENTIFIED

30-YEAR-OLD RACHID

REDOUANCE AS A SUSPECTED

TERRORIST IN THE ATTACK.

BOTH MEN LIVED IN THE SAME

EAST-END LONDON

NEIGHBORHOOD.

HE IS FROM LIBYA OR

MOROCCO.

THE POLICE FATALLY SHOT

THEM ALONG WITH

22-YEAR-OLD YOUSSEF

ZAGHBA.

HE IS BELIEVED TO BE AN

ITALIAN NATIONAL OF

MOROCCAN DESCENT.

LONDON'S MAYOR SPOKE

DIRECTLY TO TERRORISTS.

AS A PROUD AND

PATRIOTIC BRITISH MUSLIM,

I SAY THIS: YOU DO NOT

COMMIT THESE DISGUSTING

ACTS IN MY NAME.

Mark: KAHN AND

PRESIDENT TRUMP GOT INTO A

MINOR FEUD AFTER THE

ATTACK, WITH KAHN SAYING

THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT

SHOULD CANCEL A VISIT BY

THE PRESIDENT.

AS TRUMP CRITICIZED KAHN

AFTER THE ATTACKS.

AFTER THE DEADLY TRAGEDY

IN LONDON COMING ON THE

HEELS OF OTHER RECENT

TERRORIST ATTACKS IN THE

U.K., THE TOP BRITISH

COUNTER-TERRORISM OFFICIAL

SAYS AUTHORITIES PLAN TO

DRAMATICALLY CHANGE THEIR

STRATEGY.

MARK MARTIN, CBN NEWS.

John: THANKS, MARK.

PAT, BACK TO YOU.

Pat: WELL, AS I SAID

ON THIS PROGRAM BEFORE,

AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN,

ISIS IS A CANCER THAT

NEEDS TO BE REMOVED.

IF YOU HAVE CANCER IN

YOURED BODY, YOU EITHER

TREAT IT WITH CHEMO OR DO

SURGERY, BUT YOU GET RID

OF IT.

THAT THING IN RAQQA IS A

CANCER.

I UNDERSTAND WE HAVE

FORCES MOVING AGAINST

RAQQA.

BUT WE NEED TO DESTROY

ISIS, LITERALLY DESTROY

IT.

IT IS NOT A QUESTION OF

BRINGING THEM TO JUSTICE.

IT IS A QUESTION OF JUST

ELIMINATING THEM.

THEY'RE BRUTAL AND THEY

NEED TO BE DEALT WITH WITH

BRUTALITY.

WE NEED TO GET RID OF

THEM.

THAT MEANS THAT CENTER OF

POISON HAS GOT TO BE

ELIMINATED.

AND THEN WE NEED TO ROOT

OUT ALL OF THEIR BRANCHES

AROUND THE WORLD, AND THEY

HAVE SPREAD AND

METASTASIZED IN AN

INCREDIBLE FASHION.

FROM JUST A FEW PEOPLE TO

TENS OF THOUSANDS OF THEM,

AND MORE AND MORE AND

MORE.

IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE

WINNING AND PEOPLE WANT TO

GET ON BOARD.

IT HAS TO BE SHOWN TO THE

WORLD THEY'RE NOT A

WINNER.

AND WHAT THE PRESIDENT

SAID IS EXACTLY RIGHT,

THEY'RE A BUNCH OF LOSERS.

JOHN?

John: BACK HERE AT

HOME, A 25-YEAR-OLD WOMAN

HAS BEEN CHARGED WITH

LEAKING A CLASSIFIED

REPORT WITH TOP SECRET

INFORMATION INTO THE

INVESTIGATION ON RUSSIAN

INTERFERENCE IN LAST

YEAR'S ELECTION.

REALITY WINNER WAS A

CONTRACTOR FOR THE

NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY.

SHE IS THE FIRST PERSON

CHARGED IN A CASE

INVOLVING LEAKS UNDER

PRESIDENT TRUMP'S

ADMINISTRATION, SHOWING

THAT THE GOVERNMENT WILL

BE GOING AFTER THOSE WHO

LEAK.

THE WEBSITE, THE

INTERCEPT, REPORTED ON

MONDAY IT HAD OBTAINED AN

N.S.A. DOCUMENT SAYING

THAT RUSSIAN HACKERS HAD

ATTACKED ONE VOTING

SOFTWARE SUPPLIER DAYS

BEFORE THE ELECTION.

THE REPORT DID NOT

INDICATE THAT THE VOTING

MACHINES OR VOTES HAD BEEN

COMPROMISED.

> THE U.S. SUPREME COURT

DID NOT REVIEW AN APPEAL

FROM A CHRISTIAN MARINE

WHO WAS PUNISHED FOR

POSTING A BIBLE VERSE IN

HER OFFICE.

SHE WAS COURT MAS COURT-MARTIALED.

THEY STATED HER SUPERIORS

DID NOT PLACE A, QUOTE,

"SUBSTANTIAL BURDEN ON HER

FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT TO

RELIGIOUS EXPRESSION."

HER LEGAL TEAM DISAGREES

WITH THE COURT'S DECISION.

> WELL, KIDS ACROSS

AMERICA ENSLAVED IN A LIFE

OF PROSTITUTION THROUGH

HUMAN TRAFFICKING.

BUT MANY ARE WORKING TO

SET THEM FREE.

PAUL STRAND BRINGS US THE

STORY OF ONE GROUP WHO'S

UNIQUE APPROACH INCLUDES A

SIMPLE HOUSEHOLD ITEM.

Reporter: THIS ROOM

IS FILLED WITH VOLUNTEERS

STUFFING BAGS PROMINENTLY

LABELLED "SOAP."

THERE IS A GROUP TRYING TO

DO SOMETHING ABOUT SEX

TRAFFICKING, CALLED SOAP,

SAVE OUR ADOLESCENTS FROM

PROSTITUTION.

THEY HAVE THE PHONE NUMBER

FOR THE NATIONAL HUMAN

TRAFFICKING HOT LINE ON

THE RAPPERS.

SOAP FOUND TERESA FLORES

GOT A TEXT FROM SOMEONE

WHO TOLD HER THE SOAP

WRAPPER HAD BEEN A

SUCCESS.

SHE SAID, YOU ARE THE

REASON I'M FREE.

I FOUND A BAR OF THE SOAP

AND IT GAVE ME REASON TO

GET OUT.

Reporter: THEY ALSO

HAVE PHOTOS OF MISSING

GIRLS WHO MIGHT BE AMONG

THE POTENTIALLY THOUSANDS

OF SEX TRAFFICKING VICTIMS

IN THE U.S. RIGHT NOW.

FLORES WAS AROUND WHEN THE

PHOTO OF A MISSING GIRL

WORKED RECENTLY.

THE CLERK SAID, SHE

JUST CHECKED IN 20 MINUTES

AGO WITH AN OLDER MAN.

AND SHE IS 15.

SO WE WERE ABLE TO CALL

THE AUTHORITIES AND GO GET

HER IMMEDIATELY.

Reporter: BARBARA WAS

SEX TRAFFICKED BETWEEN THE

AGES OF 12 TO 122.

>22.

NOT ONCE DID ANY ONE OF

THOSE MEN EVER SAY, WAIT A

MINUTE, HOLD ON, YOU'RE

JUST TOO YOUNG.

Reporter: AND FLORES

WAS SEX TRAFFICKED, TOO,

AND SAYS THE DAMAGE REALLY

NEVER GOES AWAY.

IT IS LIFE-LONG.

IF YOU'RE TRAFFICKED FOR A

WEEKEND, TWO YEARS, OR

FIVE YEARS, IT DOESN'T

MATTER.

YOU'RE REALLY BROKEN

FOREVER.

AND IT TAKES A LOT TO

HEAL.

Reporter: YOU MAY

THINK YOU DON'T HAVE ANY

TOOLS TO FIGHT SEX

TRAFFICKING, BUT IT COULD

BE AS SIMPLE AS A PIECE OF

PAPER OR A BAR OF SOAP.

PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,

REPORTING FROM ARLINGTON,

VIRGINIA.

THANKS, PAUL.

LAWMAKERS IN THE SENATE

ARE URGING PRESIDENT TRUMP

TO MOVE THE U.S. EMBASSY

IN ISRAEL FROM TEL AVIV TO

JERUSALEM.

THE SENATE VOTED 90-0 ON

MONDAY NIGHT ON THE

RESOLUTION ON THE 50th

ANNIVERSARY OF THE SIX-DAY

WAR IN 1967.

THE RESOLUTION ALSO CALLS

ON THE PRESIDENT AND ALL

U.S. OFFICIALS TO ABIDE BY

A 1995 LAW THAT URGED THEN

PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON TO

MOVE THE EMBASSY.

WHITE HOUSE OFFICIALS SAY

IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF

WHEN, NOT IF, THE

PRESIDENT FOLLOWS THROUGH

ON HIS CAMPAIGN PROMISE TO

MOVE THE EMBASSY FROM TEL

AVIV TO JERUSALEM.

PAT, BACK TO YOU.

Pat: I THINK ARMED

WITH THAT KIND OF

BIPARTISAN VOTE IN THE

SENATE, THE PRESIDENT CAN

VERY EASILY SAY, LOOK, THE

UNITED STATES CONGRESS HAS

SPOKEN, THE UNITED STATES

OF AMERICA STANDS BY OUR

FRIENDS IN ISRAEL.

AND WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT

JERUSALEM IS THEIR

CAPITAL.

I THINK IT WOULD BE A

NON-EVENT.

THERE IS NOBODY GOING TO

DEMONSTRATE ON ACCOUNT OF

THAT.

IT'S NOT GOING TO DESTROY

OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE

ARABS.

I MEAN, LET'S FACE IT,

THAT'S WHERE THE CAPITAL

OF ISRAEL IS, IT'S

JERUSALEM.

THE GOVERNMENT OFFICES OF

THE NATION OF ISRAEL ARE

LOCATED IN JERUSALEM.

AND FOR US TO GO THROUGH

THIS FICTION OF SAYING,

WELL, IT'S REALLY IN TEL

AVIV IS JUST NONSENSE.

THE STATE DEPARTMENT HAS

BEEN SO AFRAID OF THE ARAB

BACKLASH, BUT THERE IS NOT

GOING TO BE ANY BACKLASH.

WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO DO?

THE RUSSIANS HAVE ALREADY

DONE IT.

SO WE'VE GOT COVER NOW.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE

AND THE RUSSIANS.

SO IT DOESN'T TAKE A LOT

OF BRAVERY TO MOVE THE

EMBASSY AND DO WHAT WE

SHOULD HAVE DONE A LONG

TIME AGO.

TERRY, IT'S A GOOD DAY.

Terry: IT IS A GREAT

DAY, ACTUALLY.

AND HERE IS ONE OF THE

REASONS WHY, SPEAKING OF

ISRAEL.

WE HAVE HAD AN

OVERWHELMING RESPONSE AT

THE BOX OFFICE AND

SOLD-OUT THEATERS ACROSS

THE NATION FOR CBN'S DOC

DRAMATIC ON THE SIX-DAY

WAR.

SO FATHOM EVENTS IS

EXTENTING THE FILM, AND

THAT IS FOR ONE NIGHT,

JUNE THE 6th IN SELECT

THEATERS.

IT IS YOUR LAST CHANCE TO

SEE "IN OUR HANDS."

IF YOU WANT TO GETS

TICKETS, JUST GO TO

inourhands1967.com.

Pat: I WANT TO POINT

OUT THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN

NEW JERSEY AND VIRGINIA,

WE HAVE A COUPLE OF

PRIMARIES COMING UP THAT

MAY HAVE A SIGNIFICANCE IN

SELECTING FUTURE LEADERS,

AND I WOULD URGE PEOPLE TO

MAKE THEIR PLANS TO VOTE

ON THE 13th.

IN JUST A WEEK.

Terry: SOME

SIGNIFICANT POSITIONS

BEING FILLED.

Pat: GOVERNORS -- THE

GOVERNOR OF VIRGINIA AND

THE GOVERNOR OF NEW

JERSEY.

THESE ARE FOR THE

PARTICULAR REPUBLICAN OR

INDEPENDENT OR DEMOCRAT.

NEVERTHELESS, THEY'RE

PARTY POSITIONS, BUT THESE

WILL GO INTO THE GENERAL

ELECTION AS THE

CANDIDATES.

SO IT IS VERY IMPORTANT.

THERE HASN'T BEEN A LOT OF

PUBLICITY ABOUT IT.

BUT I THINK IF YOU LIVE IN

THOSE TWO STATES, YOU

OUGHT TO MAKE YOUR PLAN TO

VOTE.

OKAY.

Terry: WELL, UP

NEXT...INSIDE THE FREE

CLINICS THAT ARE

DELIVERING QUALITY HEALTH

CARE AT NO COST.

IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST

JOB I NEVER GOT PAID FOR.

Terry: SEE HOW THESE

HEALTH CENTERS ARE SAVING

LIVES, WHEN WE COME BACK.

Pat: WELL, CHANCES

ARE YOU KNOW SOMEONE WHO

DOESN'T HAVE HEALTH

INSURANCE.

OR PEOPLE WHO CAN'T AFFORD

THE RISING PREMIUMS.

BUT AS LORIE JOHNSON SHOWS

US, THERE IS HOPE FOR

THOSE CAUGHT IN THOSE

TERRIBLE SITUATIONS.

Lorie: ON THURSDAY

NIGHTS, THE "HELPING

HANDS" FREE CLINIC IN

COLUMBUS, OHIO, PROVIDES

MUCH-NEEDED CARE FOR THOSE

WHO CAN'T PAY FOR IT.

IT ALL BEGINS WITH

PATIENTS AND WORKERS

JOINING IN PRAYER.

SO WE BRING THIS TIME

OF CLINIC TO YOU AND PRAY

FOR YOUR HEALING, FOR

EVERYONE CONCERNED.

IN JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

Lorie: SCATTERED

ACROSS THE BUCKEYE STATE,

VOLUNTEERS OPERATE A TOTAL

OF 100 FREE CLINICS, IN

BOTH BIG CITIES AND SMALL

TOWNS.

IT IS PROBABLY THE BEST

JOB I NEVER GOT PAID FOR.

THERE.

Lorie: A STEADY

STREAM OF PATIENTS WALK IN

OFF THE STREET.

SOMETIMES HOURS BEFORE THE

DOORS EVEN OPEN.

MANY FREE HEALTH CLINICS

ARE OPERATED BY CHURCHES,

WHO FEEL IT IS PART OF

THEIR MISSION TO MEET THE

PHYSICAL NEEDS OF PEOPLE

IN THE COMMUNITY.

IN THE PROCESS, THEY OFTEN

MEET THEIR SPIRITUAL NEETS

NEEDS AS WELL.

COMPARED TO MAJOR

METROPOLITAN CITIES,

COLUMBUS REPORTS THE

SECOND HIGHEST PERCENTAGE

OF NEW FOREIGN-BORN

RESIDENTS.

WE WANT PEOPLE TO SEE

WE'RE THE HELPING HANDS OF

JESUS IN WHAT WE DO.

WE HAVE A LOT OF MUSLIMS

WHO COME TO THIS CLINIC,

AND WE WANT THEM TO SEE

OUR CHRISTIAN FAITH AND

SEE WE TREAT EVERYBODY

EQUALLY AND JUST FEEL THE

LOVE.

AND THEY DO COME AND PRAY

WITH US.

Lorie: PATIENTS GET

FREE ANTIBIOTICS AND OTHER

MEDICATIONS BUT NO

NARCOTICS.

IT WAS A REALLY GOOD

EXPERIENCE.

THEY WERE REALLY FRIENDLY,

AND THEY EVEN PRAYED WITH

ME, WHICH I REALLY, REALLY

ENJOYED.

Lorie: WHILE

DONATIONS COVER EXPENSES,

IT IS THE TIRELESS

VOLUNTEERS WHO REALLY KEEP

THE CLINICS GOING.

AND MOST OF THEM HAVE

WORKED ALL DAY, AND THEN

THEY'LL COME IN AND DO

FOUR, FIVE, SIX HOURS OF

VOLUNTEER WORK IN THE

EVENING.

Lorie: WE'RE TALKING

NURSES, SOCIAL WORKERS,

PHYSICAL THERAPISTS, AND,

OF COURSE, DOCTORS.

I AM LOVED SO MUCH BY

CHRIST, AND I WANT TO TURN

THAT LOVE AROUND AND

REFLECT HIM.

Lorie: AND CLINICS

ALSO RELY ON NON-MEDICAL

VOLUNTEERS, LIKE LOW LOHA LOIS

HANAKER.

MY BLOO BLOOD PRESSURE WAS

OUT OF CONTROL, THE WHOLE

MINE YARDS.

Lorie: THEY CAN ALSO

REFER PATIENTS TO

SPECIALISTS, LIKE THOSE AT

THIS FREE DENTAL CLINIC

ACROSS TOWN AT VINEYARD

CHURCH.

SINCE THESE VISITS

TYPICALLY LAST A WHILE,

PATIENTS ARE ONLY SEEN BY

APPOINTMENTS.

IF I CAN USE SOME OF MY

TALENTS TO HELP OTHER

PEOPLE, AND TO KEEP IT TO

MYSELF I FEEL WOULD BE

SELFISH AND NOT GLORIFYING

TO GOD.

I TRY TO GIVE BACK TO HIM

AND OTHERS AS WELL.

Lorie: AND VINEYARD

CHURCH OFFERS FREE VISION,

CHIROPRACTIC, AND GENERAL

HEALTH ON ANOTHER NIGHTS.

ALTHOUGH CHURCHES

TYPICALLY OPERATE CLINICS,

THEY'RE NOT ALL

FAITH-BASED.

THIS IS STAFFED BY THE

OHIO STATE SCHOOL OF

PHYSICIANS AND MEDICINE.

Lorie: THE PHYSICIANS

WHO ALREADY WORK LONG

HOURS STILL FIND TIME TO

HELP.

I THINK WE STILL HAVE A

LONG WAY TO GO.

COLUMBUS, OHIO, AND THE

GREATER COLUMBUS AREA

STILL HAS A PRETTY LARGE

UNINSURED POPULATION THAT

REALLY KIND OF FALLS

THROUGH THE CRACKS.

Lorie: PEOPLE LIKE

MICHAEL WATSON, WHO HAS

BEEN HERE FOUR TIMES FOR A

NUMBER OF HEALTH ISSUES.

THIS IS WONDERFUL.

I'VE BEEN PLEASED WITH THE

SERVICE AND THE NURSES ARE

VERY KNOWLEDGEABLE AND THE

DOCTORS AND EVERYTHING.

THEY'VE BEEN NICE AND

REALLY HELPED ME QUITE A

BIT.

Lorie: FOR MICHAEL,

HEALTH INSURANCE WAS OUT

OF THE QUESTION.

I COULDN'T AFFORD, YOU

KNOW, THE MONTHLY PAYMENTS

ON IT.

IF I DID GET SICK, THE

DEDUCTIBLE THROUGH MY WORK

WOULD HAVE BEEN MY WHOLE

PAYCHECK.

Lorie: WHILE THE

FUTURE OF HEALTH CARE IS

UNCERTAIN, THE NEED FOR

FREE CLINICS IS LIKELY

CONTINUE, BACKED BY

DONATIONS AND VOLUNTEERS

TO KEEP THEM RUNNING.

LORIE JOHNSON, CBN NEWS.

Pat: YOU KNOW, WE ARE

A VERY GENEROUS NATION.

AND I THINK THE REASON IS

BECAUSE WE WERE FOUNDED AS

A CHRISTIAN NATION.

AND WE HAVE TAKEN THE

BIBLICAL MANDATE TO HELP

THE POOR AND THE NEEDY.

AND THOSE CLINICS ARE JUST

AN EXAMPLE OF IT.

WHAT A HEART-WARMING

THING.

PEOPLE DON'T HAVE TO BE

TRAPPED INTO SOME KIND OF

BUREAUATIC MAZE.

THEY CAN BE HELPED BY

PEOPLE WITH ORDINARY

SKILLS THEY WILL MAKE

AVAILABLE.

TERRY HAS AN INTERESTING

STORY.

Terry: I DO.

COMING UP, HE WAS A

HOPELESS ALCOHOLIC TIRED

OF RUINING HIS LIFE.

IN THAT MOMENT, I FELT

A SENSE OF BROKENNESS I

NEVER FELT BEFORE.

I THOUGHT, EVERYBODY IS

PROBABLY BETTER OFF

WITHOUT ME.

Terry: SEE HOW HE HAD

A CHANGE OF HEART JUST BY

CHANGING THE CHANNEL.

Pat: DAVID KERNS DAD

WAS A RAGING ALCOHOLIC.

YEARS LATER, DAVID HEADED

DOWN THE SAME ROAD.

HE WAS STARING AT A

DIVORCE AND YET ANOTHER

CHARGE FOR D.U.I.

THEN ONE DAY, AS DAVID

CONTEMPLATED HIS OWN

DEATH, HE TURNED ON THE TV

SET.

AND WHAT HE SAW THERE

SAVED HIS LIFE.

YOU KNOW, I SEEN MY

MOTHER AND MY SISTERS

DRIVE OFF.

THAT'S KIND OF WHEN

EVERYTHING -- MY LIFE WENT

DOWN WITH HIS.

Reporter: 8-YEAR-OLD

DAVID KERN NEVER THOUGHT

HIS PARENTS WOULD DIVORCE.

BUT THE SIGNS WERE THERE.

I NOTICED MY MOTHER AND

FATHER STARTED ARGUING

MORE.

I NOTICED THE FIGHTS

STARTED GETTING MORE

VIOLENT AND MY FATHER

STARTED GETTING MOR MORE

VIOLENT.

Reporter: HIS

FATHER'S DISCIPLINE ALSO

BECAME SO HARSH, BUT DAVID

HELD ON TO THE GOOD

MEMORIES BEFORE THINGS GOT

BAD.

I LOVED MY FATHER.

HE WAS ABUSIVE, BUT I

STILL LOVED MY FATHER.

WE HAD THAT CONNECTION.

Reporter: SO IT WAS

DECIDED HE WOULD STAY WITH

HIS DAD, WHILE HIS TWO

SISTERS WENT WITH THEIR

MOM.

FROM THERE THE ABUSE AND

DRINKING ONLY GOT WORSE.

HE STARTED GOING TO THE

BARS EVERY NIGHT.

THE HOUSE STARTED GETTING

LOUDER.

SEX IN THE HOUSE.

IT TURNED INTO A HOME I

DIDN'T EVEN KNOWMENT AND KNOW.

AND NOT ONLY THERE, THERE

WAS MENTAL ABUSE -- YOU'RE

A FLUNKY, YOU'RE A LOSER.

Reporter: AT 11,

DAVID STARTED SMOKING POT

AND DRINKING, BECAUSE

ACCORDING TO HIS DAD, IT

WAS A COOL THING TO DO.

HIS MOTHER TRIED TO READ

HIM THE BIBLE, BUT HE

DIDN'T LISTEN.

GOD HAS A PLAN.

THINGS YOU DON'T WANT TO

HEAR.

IF THERE IS A GOD, WHY IS

THIS HAPPENING?

Reporter: IN 1 11 GRADE

HE DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL

AND BECAME A DRUG DEALER.

HE LEFT HIS DAD AND WAS

ARRESTED NUMEROUS TIMES.

LIKE HIS DAD, HE FELT LIFE

WAS HOPELESS.

YOUR MOTHER IS GONE,

YOUR FATHER IS ABUSIVE.

YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT LIFE

IS.

YOU HAVE NO VALUE OF LIFE.

I HAD NO VALUE OF LIFE.

Reporter: THAT IS

UNTIL DAVID'S GIRLFRIEND

TOLD HIM SHE WAS PREGNANT.

AS HE PREPARED TO BE A

FATHER, HE FELT SOMETHING

HE NEVER FELT BEFORE.

THERE WAS HOPE.

LIFE IS GOING TO CHANGE.

WHEN I SEEN THE HEARTBEAT,

THIS IS WHERE MY LIFE IS

REALLY HEADED NOW.

Reporter: THEN

WITHOUT NOTICE, HIS

GIRLFRIEND GOT AN

ABORTION.

DAVID WAS CRUSHED AND FELT

IN SOME WAY HE WAS TO

BLAME.

I T I HAD TO GET AWAY.

BECAUSE I KNEW MY LIFE WAS

NOW COSTING OTHER LIVES.

THAT'S WHEN I REALIZED

THERE NEEDED TO BE A

CHANGE IN MY LIFE.

Reporter: DAVID

EARNED HIS G.E.D., JOINED

THE ARMY RESERVES, AND

TOOK A JOB AT A STEEL

FACTORY.

IT WAS WHEN HE MARRIED AND

HAD TWO SONS, IS WHEN HE

FOUND WHAT HE HAD BEEN

LOOKING FOR.

I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS

ALL ABOUT FAMILY, FINDING

SOMEONE TO MARRY AND

HAVING KIDS.

Reporter: DAVID LOVED

HIS SON AND WAS NEVER

ABUSIVE, BUT HE NEVER GOT

OVER HIS NEED FOR ALCOHOL.

HE AND HIS WIFE ARGUED

CONSTANTLY, AND EVENTUALLY

FILED FOR DIVORCE.

WHEN EVERYTHING CAME TO TO

FRUITION, I PUSHED FARTHER

AWAY.

AND I WENT BACK TO

DRINKING AND THE BAR

SCENE, EVEN MORE SO.

Reporter: WHILE

WAITING FOR THE CUSTODY

SETTLEMENT, THEY SHARED

CUSTODY OF THE BOYS.

ONE NIGHT DAVID WAS

ARRESTED AND JAILED FOR

DRIVING WHILE INTOXICATED.

DAVID FEARED HE WOULD LOSE

ALL CUSTODY OF HIS SONS.

I AUTOMATICALLY AT THAT

MOMENT FELT A SENSE OF

BROKENNESS THAT I HAD

NEVER FELT BEFORE.

MY SONS WERE REALLY ON MY

HEART, LIKE, WHAT ARE THEY

GOING TO DO?

HOW IS THIS ALL GOING TO

GET FIXED?

Reporter: AFTER HIS

ARRAIGNMENT, DAVID POSTED

BAIL AND WENT HOME TO

AWAIT TRIAL.

THINGS WENT THROUGH MY

MIND, I WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH

TO BE A FATHER.

EVERYBODY WAS PROBABLY

BETTER OFF WITHOUT ME.

Reporter: DAVID

TURNED ON THE TELEVISION,

LOOKING FOR A DISTRACTION,

BUT INSTEAD HE FOUND A

MESSAGE OF HOPE.

"THE 700 CLUB" WAS ON, AND

PAT ROBERTSON WAS

MINISTERING.

AT THE END, HE SAID,

YOU HAVE TWO WAYS TO GO

RIGHT NOW: YOU CAN GO THE

WAY YOU ARE GOING, OR YOU

CAN ACCEPT JESUS CHRIST AS

YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR AND

CHOOSE THE LIFE THAT HE

HAS FOR YOU.

I WAS, LIKE, WOW, IS IT

REALLY THAT EASY?

BECAUSE I NEVER HEARD IT

WAS THAT EASY BEFORE.

I WENT IN MY BACK ROOM,

KNEELED DOWN AND PRAYED.

LORD JESUS, I BELIEVE YOU

AND I NEED YOU.

IT WAS A NEED; IT WAS A

HUNGER AND A THIRST THAT I

HAD NEVER FELT BEFORE.

I REMEMBER I ROSE AND I

FELT FREE FOR THE FIRST

TIME.

LIKE EVERYTHING WAS GOING

TO BE FINE.

EVERYTHING WAS GOING TO

TRULY BE OKAY.

Reporter: DAVID GOT

HIMSELF INTO A REHAB

FACILITY WHERE HE STARTED

READING HIS BIBLE AND

PRAYING, AND HE DISCOVERED

THE TRUE MEANING OF BEING

A MAN AND A FATHER.

I DIDN'T HAVE A FATHER

FIGURE TO LOOK UP TO, BUT

I HAD GOD.

AND WOW, DID HE REVEAL HIS

TRUE IDENTITY TO ME.

THROUGH THAT TIME, HE

EQUIPPED ME TO BE A BETTER

FATHER, TO BE EVERYTHING

THAT MY SONS NEEDED.

ALL OF THAT FEAR WAS GONE.

ALL OF THAT FEAR OF WHAT'S

AHEAD WAS GONE.

ALL OF THAT FEAR OF WHO I

WAS GOING TO BE WAS GONE.

Reporter: FREE FROM

HIS ADDICTIONS, DAVID

SHOWED UP TO HIS PRE-TRIAL

A CHANGED MAN.

THE JUDGE COUNTED HIS

REHAB AS TIME SERVED AND

DROPPED THE CHARGES.

TWO WEEKS LATER HE WAS IN

FRONT OF A JUDGE AGAIN,

THIS TIME FOR A CUSTODY

HEARING.

I WORE MY FAITH ON MY

SLEEVE.

I TOLD THE JUDGE

EVERYTHING ABOUT MY FAITH

AND EVERYTHING ABOUT MY

NEWFOUND HOPE AND MY

PLANS.

TWO WEEKS LATER, I GET A

PHONE CALL FROM MY

ATTORNEY THAT I WON

RESIDENTIAL PARENTING

RIGHTS AND THEY WERE

ALLOWED TO GO TO A SCHOOL

WHERE I WAS RESIDING.

Reporter: TODAY DAVID

IS A PASTOR, AND HE IS

MARRIED TO RHONDA.

AND TOGETHER THEY'RE

TEACHING THEIR FAMILY

WHO'S EXAMPLE THEY NEED TO

FOLLOW ABOVE ALL.

I'M THEIR BUDDY, THEIR

DAD, THEIR FRIEND, BUT

THEY KNOW THERE IS ONE

OVER ME, AND THAT'S THEIR

FATHER IN HEAVEN.

THAT'S WHY I AM WHO I AM

TODAY.

Pat: YOU KNOW, I WAS

READING PAUL'S LETTER TO

THE CORINTHIANS.

AND HE SAYS, YOU KNOW, THE

LORD IS THE SPIRIT.

AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF

THE LORD IS, THERE IS

LIBERTY.

THERE IS FREEDOM; THERE IS

LIBERTY.

DAVID WAS HOOKED BY IMAGES

OF HIS BAD FATHER, IMAGES

OF DRUG ADDICTION, IMAGES

OF ALCOHOL ADDICTION.

BUT WHERE THE SPIRIT OF

THE LORD IS, THERE IS

FREEDOM.

AND GOD CAME TO SET YOU

FREE.

JESUS CAME TO SET YOU

FREE.

AND YOU SHOULD NOT BE IN

BONDAGE.

GOD DIDN'T MAKE YOU TO BE

A SLAVE.

GOD MADE YOU TO BE FREE.

WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE

LORD IS, THERE IS FREEDOM.

AND YOU WANT TO BE FREE.

AND I WANT YOU TO BE FREE.

AND GOD WANTS YOU TO BE

FREE.

BUT YOU'VE BEEN ENSLAVED

TO SO MANY THINGS.

YOU CAN BE ENSLAVED TO

HATRED.

YOU CAN BE ENSLAVED TO

FEAR.

YOU CAN BE ENSLAVED TO BAD

MEMORIES.

AND YOU CAN GO ON DOWN THE

LIST OF THE THINGS THAT

HAVE ENSLAVED YOU.

BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU

RIGHT NOW, THE SPIRIT OF

THE LORD IS HERE.

AND THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD

WILL SET YOU FREE.

AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF

THE LORD IS, THERE IS

LIBERTY, THERE IS FREEDOM.

NOW, IF YOU WANT THAT, IF

YOU WANT TO BE TOUCHED BY

HIS SPIRIT, I WANT YOU TO

PRAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW.

RIGHT AT THIS MOMENT.

PRAY THESE WORDS: JESUS --

THAT'S RIGHT, PRAY WITH

ME.

JESUS, I COME TO YOU RIGHT

NOW.

AND I CONFESS, LORD, THAT

YOU ARE GOD.

I CONFESS THAT THE SPIRIT

OF GOD IS IN YOU, AND YOU

ARE THE SPIRIT OF GOD.

I SPEAK THOSE WORDS.

I WANT YOU, LORD.

AND THE SPIRIT OF THE HOLY

GOD, I PRAY RIGHT NOW THAT

YOU WILL COME INTO MY

HEART.

FILL ME WITH YOURSELF.

REVEAL TO ME THE FATHER.

AND FROM THIS MOMENT ON I

AM YOURS.

I WILL GIVE YOU MY LIFE.

AND I RECEIVE THAT FREEDOM

FROM THIS MOMENT ON.

THANK YOU, LORD.

AMEN.

IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME,

THAT'S A BIG DEAL.

YOU KNOW?

YOU'VE ASKED GOD TO COME

INTO YOUR LIFE, AND YOU'RE

GOING TO START A WHOLE NEW

ADVENTURE WITH HIM.

A NEW ADVENTURE.

I HAVE A LITTLE PACKET

CALLED "A NEW DAY," THAT

I'LL BE GLAD TO GIVE YOU.

IT HAS A LITTLE BOOKLET IN

IT AND A C.D., AND THAT

WILL TELL YOU WHAT YOU

JUST DID.

BUT THE PROFOUND WORK OF

GOD IS IN YOU RIGHT NOW.

THE PROFOUND MINISTR MYSTERY OF

THE HOLY GOD IS WITHIN

YOU.

YOU NEED TO CONFESS WHAT

YOU HAVE JUST DONE.

I HAVE A TOLL-FREE NUMBER

AVAILABLE FOR YOU NOW:

1-800-700-7000.

IF YOU WANT TO GIVE US

YOUR NAME, THAT'S FINE.

IF YOU DON'T, THAT'S FINE.

IF YOU WANT TO GIVE US

YOUR NAME, WE CAN SEND YOU

SOME STUFF THAT YOU CAN

READ.

IF YOU DON'T WANT IT,

THAT'S COOL.

BUT CALL OR TELL SOMEBODY.

YOU ARE FREE, AND THE

SPIRIT OF THE LORD HAS SET

YOU FREE.

YOU'RE A FREE MAN, A FREE

WOMAN, A FREE BOY, A FREE

GIRL, IN JESUS' NAME.

> TERRY?

Terry: STILL AHEAD,

THE BOOK EVERY PARENT

NEEDS TO READ.

JOHN JONESTREET SHARES HOW

WE CAN ALL HELP OR

CHILDREN NAVIGATE THE

CULTURE WARS WE'RE IN, AND

AND WELCOME BACK TO

"THE 700 CLUB."

JEWS AND CHRISTIANS ARE

COMING TOGETHER TO

CELEBRATE THE

REUNIFICATION OF

JERUSALEM.

50 YEARS AGO TODAY, JEWISH

PARATROOPERS CAPTURED THE

TEMPLE MOUNT, ONE OF THE

HOLIEST SITES FOR JEWS AND

CHRISTIANS.

IN DALLAS, TEXAS, THE

AMERICAN ALLIANCE FOR JEWS

AND CHRISTIANS WILL GATHER

AT CITY HALL FOR A RALLY

FOR JERUSALEM AT 4 p.m.

REVEREND DANIEL LAPEN TOLD

CBN NEWS THAT IT IS ONLY

RIGHT THAT BELIEVERS OF

BOTH FAITHS CELEBRATE

TOGETHER.

TO A HUGE NUMBER OF

AMERICANS, JERUSALEM IS

FAR MORE IMPORTANT A CITY

THAN JACKSONVILLE OR

JAKARTA OR JOHANNESBURG

ARE.

IT IS A CITY IN WHICH THE

SPIRITUAL HOPES AND

ASPIRATIONS OF JEWS AND

CHRISTIANS HAS RESIDED FOR

CENTURIES, FOR MILLENNIA.

YOU CAN FIND MORE

PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK

WITH MUCH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

Terry: THE SONG, "THE

TIMES, THEY ARE

A-CHANGING," AND THAT WAS

MORE THAN 50 YEARS AGO.

WHAT WAS ONCE TABOO HAS

MADE IT INTO THE

MAINSTREAM, AND WHO KNOWS

WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN

ANOTHER GENERATION.

BUT AS JOHN JONESTREET

EXPLAINS, THERE IS A WAY

WE CAN STILL STAND STRONG.

Reporter: JOHN

JONESTREET IS THE CO-HOST

OF A RADIO CHRISTIAN SHOW.

AND HE IS PRESIDENT OF THE

COLSON CENTER FOR

CHRISTIAN WORLD VIEW.

HE SAYS AMERICA'S VIEWS ON

TOPICS LIKE GENDER

IDENTITY AND ABORTION ARE

CHANGING.

THAT MEANS PARENTS,

PASTORS AND MENTORS ARE

FACED WITH A CHALLENGE:

THEY MUST PREPARE YOUNG

CHRISTIANS TO FACE A

CHANGING WORLD.

IN HIS NEW BOOK, HE SHARES

HOW WE CAN EQUIP THE NEXT

GENERATION TO CHANGE THE

WORLD, EVEN IN UNCERTAIN

TIMES.

Terry: WELL, JOHN

JONESTREET IS WITH US HERE

NOW.

WHAT A GREAT BOOK, "A

PRACTICAL GUIDE TO

CULTURE."

THANK YOU.

IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE

WITH YOU.

Terry: WILL YOU

DEFINE CULTURE?

THAT'S ONE OF THE MOST

IMPORTANT QUESTIONS TO

START WITH BECAUSE CULTURE

IS ONE OF THOSE

OFTEN-USED, BUT RARELY

DEFINED WORDS.

CULTURE IS WHAT HUMANS DO

WITH THE WORLD.

SOMETIMES CHRISTIANS

DEFINE CULTURE AS ALL OF

THE BAD STUFF THAT IS OUT

THERE.

BUT THAT'S NOT TRUE.

IT IS ALSO WORK AND

BUSINESS AND SO ON.

CULTURE SHAPES OUR

THINKING AND IT SHAPES OUR

MIND AND HOW WE BEHAVE.

PARENTS KNOW THAT A LOT OF

THINGS HAVE CHANGED IN A

SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME.

Terry: AND WE ALSO

KNOW THAT WE SHOULD HAVE

THE ABILITY TO SOMEHOW

IMPACT CULTURE FOR OUR

CHILDREN.

THAT'S RIGHT.

Terry: BUT TALK A

LITTLE ABOUT -- YOU SAY IN

THE BOOK THERE ARE

UNDERCURRENTS IN OUR

CULTURE WE MAY NOT KNOW

ABOUT.

IN THE BOOK, WE COVER

WHAT WE CALL CULTURAL

WAVES.

THESE ARE THE ONES YOU

FEEL.

WE'VE ALL BEEN ON THE SIDE

OF THE OCEAN AND GOT

KNOCKED BY A WAVE.

WE TALK ABOUT SAME-SEX

MARRIAGE AND RACISM OR

ADDICTION, AND THESE ARE

THE OBVIOUS THINGS.

BUT WE'VE ALSO HAD THE

EXPERIENCE OF BEING IN THE

OCEAN AND FINDING

OURSELVES 20 YARDS DOWN

THE BEACH AND THINKING,

HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?

AND THAT'S THE

UNDERCURRENT.

AND THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT

OF UNDERCURRENTS THAT HAVE

CREATED THE CULTURAL WAVES

WE NOW FEEL.

SO AS A PARENT OR A

MENTOR, IF WE'RE GOING TO

HELP THE NEXT GENERATION

DEAL WITH THE WAVES, WE

NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE

UNDERCURRENTS.

Terry: WHAT ARE SOME

OF THOSE UNDERCURRENTS?

ONE OF THOSE IS THAT WE

LIVE IN THE AGE OF

INFORMATION.

WHEN YOU AND I WERE

GROWING UP, IF WE HAD A

QUESTION, OUR PARENTS

WOULD SAY GO LOOK IT UP.

Terry: THE

ENCYCLOPEDIA.

RIGHT.

AND TODAY LOOKING IT UP

MEANS GOING TO GOOGLE.

AND GOOGLE IS GOING TO

GIVE US WHATEVER ITS

ALGORHYTHMS SAY.

IT DOESN'T MEAN THE SAME

THING AS WISDOM.

SO NAVIGATING THROUGH A

MAZE OF INFORMATION AND

TRYING TO FIND TRUTH IS

ONE OF THE UNDERCURRENTS.

ANOTHER ONE IS WHAT

INTERESTINGLY ENOUGH

SENATOR BEN STASS WROTE

ABOUT RECENTLY.

ADOLESCENT USED TO BE 13

TO 18, AND NOW IT IS 11 TO

30.

WE HAVE HIGH SCHOOLERS

THAT BECOME 20 SOMETHINGS

AND 30 SOMETHINGS, BUT

DON'T GROW UP.

THEY DON'T TAKE ON

RESPONSIBILITY.

THEY DON'T MOVE OUT OF

THEIR PARENTS' HOUSE, AND

THEY DELAY MARRIAGE LONGER

AND LONGER AND LONGER.

SO THAT'S ANOTHER

UNDERCURRENT WE FACE.

AND ANOTHER ONE IS JUST

THE LACK OF VIRTUE.

YOU HAVE REPUBLICAN

VALUES, DEMOCRATIC VALUES,

BUT WE NEED TO HAVE OUR

VALUES STRAIGHT.

C.S.LOUIS TALKED ABOUT

BEING A MAN WITH A CHEST,

IS HOW HE PHRASED IT.

HAVING CHARACTER.

THE CHARACTER FORM

PLAYSTATION.

WE HAVE A LOT OF SOLUTIONS

IN LIFE THAT ARE VERY

EASY, QUICK, AND

CONVENIENT, BUT NOT THE

LONG, HARD WORK OF

DEVELOPING CHARACTER.

Terry: WHEN YOU TALK

ABOUT SOMETHING LIKE

CHARACTER, I THINK THAT'S

WHERE PARENTS GET

CONFUSED.

BECAUSE WERE YOU THE

CULTURE --

IT HAS CHANGED.

Terry: -- SWIRLING

AROUND US AND THE VALUES

CHANGING, AND EVEN THE

DEFINITION OF WHAT IS

TRUTH IS CHANGING -- HOW

DO WE IMPART THAT TO OUR

CHILDREN.

WHAT DO YOU SPEAK TO

PARENTS IN THIS DAY AND

AGE?

THE FOURTH SECTION OF

THE BOOK, WE SPENT A LOT

OF TIME ON SCRIPTURE.

I THINK THE CHALLENGE OF

EVERY CHRISTIAN IS TO KEEP

STRAIGHT THE MOMENT AND

THE STORY.

WE LIVE IN A CULTURAL

MOMENT, AND THERE IS A LOT

GOING ON.

WE HAVE BROTHERS AND

SISTERS IN CHRIST AROUND

THE WORLD THAT LIVE IN A

CULTURAL MOMENT WHERE

THERE IS GREAT PERSECUTION

AND GREAT OPPRESSION.

BUT ANY CULTURAL MOMENT,

ANY GENERATION OF

CHRISTIANS THROUGHOUT

HISTORY, IS WHAT WE FIND

IN THE STORY OF SCRIPTURE,

CENTERED IN THE PERSON OF

JESUS CHRIST, THAT CHRIST

HAS RISEN.

SO THERE IS NO POSSIBLE

WAY TO HAVE AN ANSWER TO

EACH AND EVERY QUESTION,

EVEN KNOWING WHAT OUR KIDS

ARE GOING TO FACE, BUT

GROUNDING THEM WITH THE

TRUST IN THE AUTHORITY OF

SCRIPTURE, HELPING THEM

UNDERSTAND THAT SCRIPTURE

IS NOT JUST A COLLECTION

OF RANDOM MORAL NUGGETS,

BUT IT IS THIS GRAND STORY

THAT GIVES US THE CONTEXT

OF OUR CURRENT CULTURAL

MOMENT.

IT GIVES US TRUTH WITH A

CAPITAL "T."

NO SUBSTITUTE FOR THAT IF

OUR KIDS ARE GOING TO

SURVIVE.

Terry: AND THEN

WALKING IT OUT OURSELVES.

I TALK ABOUT PARENTS AND

KIDS, BUT, REALLY, FOR US

AS ADULT, THE ONES WHO ARE

SUPPOSED TO LEAD AND

PICTURE ALL OF THIS FOR

KIDS -- HOW DO WE IN

INOCULATE OURSELVES?

CERTAINLY SCRIPTURE IS THE

BASE, BUT WHAT ARE SOME OF

THE OTHER WAYS WE CAN BE

AWARE --

WE WANTED THIS BOOK TO

BE VERY PRACTICAL.

THAT INCLUDED HOW DO WE

DEVELOP A CHRISTIAN WORLD

VIEW OURSELVES SO WE CAN

UNDERSTAND CULTURE.

ONE OF THE MOST HELPFUL

WAYS IS BEING CAREFUL

ABOUT THE DEFINITION OF

WORDS.

THAT SOUNDS STRANGE, BUT

HERE IS WHAT I MEAN:

SOMETIMES IN CULTURE WE'LL

FIND OURSELVES ALSO USING

THE SAME VOCABULARY BUT

NOT THE SAME DICTIONARY.

I ONCE HAD A CONVERSATION

WITH A WOMAN ON AN

AIRPLANE, AND SHE TOLD ME

SHE WAS AN ATHEIST.

SHE SAID, HOW CAN YOU

BELIEVE IN GOD.

AND I ASKED THE QUESTION,

WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY GOD?

AND SHE SAID A GRUM M GRUMPY OLD

MAN WITH A BEARD IN THE

SKY.

I SAID, I DON'T BELIEVE IN

ZUESS.

WE TALK ABOUT WORDS LIKE

LOVE AND TRUTH AND FREEDOM

AND GOD AND MALE AND

FEMALE AND MARRIAGE AND

FAMILY -- THESE ARE

ESSENTIAL FIRST STEPS TO

MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE

THE RIGHT DICTIONARY AND

UNDERSTAND THE CULTURE.

AS WE DO THAT AS ADULTS,

WE CAN DO THAT WITH OUR

KIDS.

SO IT'S NOT ONLY THAT WE

DO IT, BU SO THAT OUR KIDS

CAN WATCH, BUT WE DO IT SO

WE CAN WALK WITH OUR KIDS

INTO THE CULTURE.

Terry: THERE IS

SOPHISOMUCH ANGER TODAY IN OUR

CULTURE, AND SO MUCH OF

THAT COMES FROM THE FACT

THAT WE ARE CONFUSED, AND

PEOPLE ARE FRUSTRATED AND

THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO

CHANGE THAT UP.

I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU

FOR THE BOOK.

IT IS AN AMAZING GUIDE TO

ALL OF THAT.

THERE IS SO MUCH THAT WE

HAVEN'T TOUCHED ON THAT IS

IN HERE.

IT IS A DEEP BOOK.

YOU NEED TO READ IT AND

THINK ABOUT IT AND THEN DO

SOMETHING WITH IT IN YOUR

LIFE.

IT IS CALLED "A PRACTICAL

GUIDE TO CULTURE: HELPING

THE NEXT GENERATION

NAVIGATE THE NEXT WORLD."

WE CAN'T HELP THEM IF WE

DON'T HELP OURSELVES.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT.

JOHN, THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

Terry: STILL TO COME,

WE'LL BE ANSWERING YOUR

E-MAIL QUESTIONS.

GABBY SAYS, "I KNOW I

MARRIED THE WRONG PERSON

AND I THINK I MET THE

PERSON I WAS SUPPOSED TO

MARRY, EVEN THOUGH I

WASN'T WORKING.

DO I RESIST AND CONTINUE

TO LIVE WITH THE WRONG

ONE?"

ANOTHER ROUND OF "BRING IT

ON" IS COMING UP, AND PAT

WILL SOLVE THAT ONE.

DON'T GO AWAY.

Terry: AFTER ALMILA'S

HUSBAND DIED, SHE

STRUGGLED TO SUPPORT HER

THREE CHILDREN.

SOON THE FAMILY HAD NO

HEAT, NO ELECTRICITY, AND

NO RUNNING WATER.

THAT'S WHEN SHE FOUND OUT

SHE MIGHT LOSE HER

CHILDREN AS WELL.

SHE AND HER THREE CHILDREN

LIVE NEAR MOLDOVA.

THEY WORK HARD TO KEEP

THEIR SMALL HOME TIDY AND

THEIR GARDEN WELL-TENDED.

THEY'RE JUST HAPPY TO BE

TOGETHER BECAUSE NOT LONG

AGO THEY WERE ALMOST TORN

APART.

Through Translator:

THEY WANTED TO TAKE US

AWAY FROM OUR MOTHER.

Terry: IT HAD ONLY

BEEN A FEW MONTH SINCE SHE

AND HER CHILDREN HAD FACED

ANOTHER TRAGIC LOSS.

Through Translator:

WHEN MY HUSBAND DIED, I

DID NOT WANT TO LIVE.

Terry: SHE STRUGGLED

TO SUPPORT HER FAMILY, AND

HER HOME FELL INTO

DISREPAIR.

THEY HAD NO HEAT, NO

ELECTRICITY, AND NO

RUNNING WATER.

BUT DESPITE THEIR

DESPERATE LIVING

CONDITIONS, AMELIA'S

CHILDREN REMAIN DEVOTED TO

HER.

SHE IS MY MOTHER.

SHE GAVE US LIFE.

I LOVE HER VERY, VERY

MUCH.

Through Translator: I

ONLY WANTED ONE THING:

THAT MY KIDS WOULD BE NEAR

ME, THAT THEY COULD GO TO

SCHOOL AND LIVE NORMALLY.

Terry: GOVERNMENT

SOCIAL WORKERS HEARD ABOUT

THE FAMILY'S LIVING

CONDITIONS AND CAME WITH

AN ULTIMATUM: MAKE

IMPROVEMENTS IN ONE WEEK

OR WE WILL TAKE YOUR

CHILDREN.

Through Translator: I

WAS SO AFRAID THAT I WOULD

LOSE MY MOTHER FOREVER.

Terry: THAT'S WHEN

CBN'S "ORPHANS' PROMISE"

STEPPED IN.

WE HEARD ABOUT AMELIA AND

HER CHILDREN FROM A LOCAL

CHURCH PARTNER IN OUR

"KEEPING FAMILIES

TOGETHER" PROGRAM.

WE BEGAN THE NEEDED

REPAIRS TO HER HOUSE

IMMEDIATELY.

Through Translator:

THEY HELPED US TO MAKE

REPAIRS.

THEY BROUGHT ALL OF THE

TOOLS WE NEEDED TO PLANT A

GARDEN.

THEY GAVE US FOOD AS WE

WAIT FOR OUR GARDEN TO

GROW.

Terry: WE ALSO

REPAIRED THEIR OVEN,

FENCE, AND CONNECTED THEIR

HOUSE TO CLEAN, RUNNING

WATER, AND TO ENSURE THAT

THEIR HOME WILL NEVER BEEN

LOST TO FORECLOSURE, WE

HELPED PROVIDE THE FUNDS

TO PAY IT OFF COMPLETELY.

Through Translator:

OH, THANK YOU.

IT OURS NOW.

I WILL HAVE MORE

OPPORTUNITIES FOR WORK.

Through Translator:

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR

EVERYTHING.

Terry: YOU KNOW,

"ORPHANS' PROMISE" IS

CBN'S OUTREACH TO ORPHANED

AND VULNERABLE CHILDREN

AROUND THE WORLD.

WHY DO WE HAVE A "KEEPING

FAMILIES TOGETHER"

TOGETHER?

BECAUSE WE KEEP CHILDREN

FROM GOING INTO

INSTITUTIONS AND

ORPHANAGES.

THEY'RE MEANT TO BE IN

FAMILIES.

THAT'S A GOD PLAN.

WE WANT TO SAY THANK YOU

TO "700 CLUB" MEMBERS.

YOU MAKE IT POSSIBLE TO

STEP INTO THE NEEDS OF

AMELIA AND THEIR CHILDREN.

THEY ARE HAPPY, THEY ARE

HEALTHY, THEY AND FED, AND

THEY HAVE HOPE.

HOW DO YOU PUT A PRICE TAG

ON THAT?

TO BECOME A "700 CLUB"

MEMBER, IT IS JUST 65

CENTS A DAY, $20 A MONTH.

WE CAN DO ALL OF THIS

TOGETHER WHEN WE LINK

ARMS.

SO WILL YOU JOIN "THE 700

CLUB" TODAY?

OUR NUMBER IS TOLL-FREE:

1-800-700-7000.

JUST CALL AND SAY, I WANT

TO JOIN "THE 700 CLUB."

LISTEN, WE'VE GOT A GIFT

FOR YOU WHEN YOU DO.

"MIRACLES," AND THIS IS

OUR LATEST D.V.D., AND

YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE IT

BECAUSE IT IS FILLED WITH

THE MIRACLE POWER OF GOD

IN THE LIVES OF PEOPLE WHO

HAVE SEEN COMPLETE

RESTORATION AND HEALING.

IT WILL BUILD YOUR FAITH

AND AT THE SAME TIME

YOU'LL HAVE THE PRIVILEGE

OF KNOWING THAT YOU ARE

HELPING PEOPLE WHO ARE IN

DESPERATE NEED, LIKE

AMELIA.

HERE IS MARY, FROM

PITTSBURGH, PENNSYLVANIA,

AND MARY SAID, "I

ABSOLUTELY LOVED

"MIRACLES," IT IS SO

IMPORTANT TO REINFORCE

WHAT THE POWER OF GOD CAN

DO FOR BELIEVERS AND

NON-BELIEVERS.

THANK YOU."

THAT'S WHY "MIRACLES" IS

FULL OF.

Pat: AS I WATCH THAT

FAMILY, THE BIBLE SAYS, IS

THAT NOT WHAT IT MEANS TO

KNOW ME, SAYS THE LORD?

THAT'S HOW YOU KNOW GOD,

WHEN YOU REACH OUT TO POOR

PEOPLE, TO SEE THE JOY OF

THAT WOMAN AND HER

CHILDREN.

OH, MAN --

Terry: PAT, ALSO, IN

THE TRAVELS I HAVE DONE

FOR CBN, I HAVE STOOD IN

ORPHANAGES AND WATCHED

CHILDREN AS THEY'RE BEING

PROCESSED IN AND THEY'RE

BEING TAKEN FROM THEIR

PARENTS, AND IT IS A SORRY

SIGHT.

THE FEAR AND THE ANXIETY

AND THE ANGER, IT SETS

THEM UP FOR FAILURE.

Pat: IF WE CAN BE

THERE TO HELP -- I'VE GOT

A QUICK MEA CULPA.

IT LOOKS LIKE THE ELECTION

TO REPLACE GOVERNOR

CHRISTY, WHICH IS THE

ELECTION IN NEW JERSEY, IS

TODAY.

VIRGINIA IS NEXT WEEK.

I THOUGHT THEY WERE BOTH

NEXT WEEK.

BUT NEW JERSEY, ACCORDING

TO MY EMINENT PRODUCER,

AND I HOPE HE IS RIGHT, IS

TODAY.

AND IF HE'S WRONG, IT WILL

BE HIS FAULT.

Terry: SO THERE IS

STILL TIME TO GET YOUR

COAT ON AND GET OUT THERE.

Pat: IN VIRGINIA, IT

IS A PRIMARY, NEXT

TUESDAY.

MAKE YOUR VOTE COUNT.

Terry: TIME TO "BRING

IT ON.".

THIS IS FROM A GABBY, PAT:

"WHAT IF YOU KNEW YOU

MARRIED THE WRONG PERSON

AND YOU'VE BEEN PRAYING

FOR YEARS THAT GOD WOULD

CHANGE YOU BOTH AND MAKE

YOU INTO WHAT EACH OTHER

NEEDS, AND THEN WHILE NOT

LOOKING YOU FIND THE

PERSON YOU WERE SUPPOSED

TO MARRY.

YOU'RE BOTH CHRISTIANS WHO

LOVE THE LORD AND TRY TO

RESIST.

DO YOU LIVE WITH THE WRONG

PERSON BECAUSE YOU ARE

COMMITTED TO GOD?"

Pat: YOU KNOW, I KNOW

THAT IS A TOUGH QUESTION,

BUT THE TRUTH IS YOU SWORE

VOWS.

YOU SAID SOMETHING BEFORE

A MINISTER, UNTIL DEATH DO

US PART AND ALL OF THAT,

AND I'LL HONOR AND LOVE

AND CHERISH AND ALL OF

THAT.

SO 20 YEARS LATER, 10

YEARS LATER, YOU SAY, HEY,

IT IS THE WRONG ONE.

IT DOESN'T WORK THAT WAY.

IF YOU'VE COMMITTED,

YOU'VE COMMITTED.

I KNOW THAT IS TOUGH.

YOU KNOW -- I DON'T KNOW

WHAT ELSE TO SAY.

THAT'S THE RULE.

YOU ASKED ME THE RULES,

AND THAT'S THE RULES.

BUT IT IS PAINFUL,

GRANTED.

BUT THIS BUSINESS, I JUST

FOUND MY SOULMATE 10 YEARS

AFTER I'VE BEEN MARRIED

AND HE IS NOT MY HUSBAND,

I DON'T BUY THAT.

Terry: DANIELLE SAYS,

"MY CHURCH PREACHES OFTEN

ON WIVES SUBMITTING TO

THEIR HUSBANDS.

I BELIEVE THIS IS A

BIBLICAL TRUTH THAT SHOULD

BE PRACTICED IN EVERY

MARRIAGE.

THE PROBLEM IS I BELIEVE

THAT MY HUSBAND DISREGARDS

A LOT OF ADVICE I GIVE HIM

BECAUSE OF THIS.

IT IS CONCERNING BECAUSE I

ADVISED HIM HE SHOULDN'T

CALL IN SICK TO WORK

ALMOST EVERY WEEK, AND HE

STILL DOES.

BECAUSE OF THIS, WE ARE

HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.

WE GO WITHOUT FOOD OR GAS

OFTEN.

I TALK TO HIM ABOUT

SOLUTIONS TO OUR PROBLEMS,

BUT IT FALLS ON DEAF EAR.

I HAVE PRACTICED

SUBMITTING TO HIM AND

PRAYING TO GOD THAT THIS

SITUATION WILL GET BETTER.

HE IS GREAT ON SOME AREAS

OF OUR MARRIAGE, BUT TO

SEE THE CYCLE OF LACK

BROKEN IN OUR MARRIAGE,

WHAT CAN I DO?"

Pat: THE BIBLE SAYS

IF ANYONE WON'T LOOK AFTER

HIS OWN, HE IS WORSE THAN

AN INFIDEL.

YOU LOOK AT THE 30th

CHAPTER OF PROVERBS AND

YOU SEE WHAT A WOMAN CAN

DO -- SHE RUNS THE

AFFAIRS, GIVES TASKS TO

HER MAIDINS AND ALL OF

THAT.

THIS GUY IS A LOSER.

YOU SAY YOU WANT TO SUBMIT

TO HIM AND THAT'S VERY

NOBLE.

BUT IF A MAN GOES OUT OF

THE WILL OF GOD, IN MY

OPINION HE LOSES THE

HEADSHIP THAT GOD GIVES

HIM.

BECAUSE JESUS IS THE HEAD,

AND THEN THE MAN IN TURN

THE HEAD OF THE WOMAN, AND

THE MOTHER AND FATHER HEAD

OF THE CHILDREN.

THAT'S THE DIVINE ORDER.

BUT IF ANY OF THEM STEP

OUT OF THAT ORDER, OF

COURSE THAT MANTEL OF

ANOINTING, IN A SENSE, HAS

LEFT THEM.

YOU ASK WHAT ARE YOU

SUPPOSED TO DO?

ALL I CAN SAY IS PRAY AND

GET COUNSELING AND SEE IF

THERE WILL BE A

TRANSFORMATION IN YOUR

HUSBAND.

YOU OUGHT TO HAVE

COUNSELLING.

YOU SAID HE IS GOOD IN

CERTAIN AREAS -- WHY DON'T

YOU SEE IF YOU CAN FIND HE

WILL WAKE UP AND DO IT

RIGHT.

> WE LEAVE YOU WITH OUR

POWER MINUTE FROM PSALMS:

TASTE AND SEE THAT THE

LORD IS GOOD.

BLESSED IS THE MAN WHO

TRUSTS IN HIM."

> FOR WENDY AND TERRY

AND ALL OF US, THIS IS PAT

ROBERTSON, AND WE THANK

YOU FOR BEING WITH US AS

WE LOOK FORWARD TO ANOTHER

EXCITING "700 CLUB"

TOMORROW.

SEE YOU THEN.

BYE-BYE.
