THEY ARE OUTCASTS

WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTY,

BUT THEY'RE TRYING TO MAKE

A COME BACK.

IT IS ONLY IN D.C.

WHERE THE ARGUMENT MAKES

SENSE.

HOW THE PRO-LIFE

DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO

CHANGE MINDS ABOUT

ABORTION.

THEIR EXTREMISM IS VERY

DAMAGING TO THE PARTY.

THEN, A FORMER ADDICT

WHO HAS BEEN ARRESTED 31

TIMES.

HEAR HOW SHE GOT OUT OF

JAIL FOR GOOD.

I JUST SAID, WHAT AM I

DOING?

WHAT AM I DOING?

ON TODAY'S "700 CLUB."

*

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO

THIS EDITION OF "THE 700

CLUB."

YOU KNOW, WE REALLY NEED

FOR OUR NATION A LOT OF

PRAYER.

WE HAVE BEEN ASSAULTED.

I WANT TO GO THROUGH IT

AGAIN.

ASSAULTED IN TEXAS,

ASSAULTED IN FLORIDA,

ASSAULTED IN PUERTO RICO.

AND NOW WE'RE BEING

ASSAULTED IN CALIFORNIA,

DEVASTATING WILDFIRES.

YOU WONDER THIS GREAT

NATION, HOW MUCH CAN WE

TAKE?

AND THEY'RE ALSO LOOKING

AT THE POSSIBILITY -- I

WAS READING TODAY ABOUT

YELLOWSTONE PARK.

I WORKED FOR A TIME AT

YELLOWSTONE, AND IT IS SO

BEAUTIFUL OUT THERE.

BUT THEY HAVE THE BIGGEST

VOLCANO PROBABLY IN THE

WORLD.

IT HAS BEEN ABOUT

600 MILLION YEARS SINCE

THE LAST TIME IT EXPLODED.

THEY SAY IF IT BLOWS UP,

IT WILL WIPE OUT AMERICA.

AND THE MAGMAS OOZING INTO

THIS THING, THERE WERE ALL

KIND OF HOT SPRINGS, AND

WE WOULD GO INTO THIS COLD

LAKE AND WE USED TO SWIM

IN IT.

WHEN IT BLOWS, IT WILL

COVER THE UNITED STATES.

SO THAT'S THAT.

AND THEN WE'VE GOT NORTH

KOREA, AND HE HASN'T DONE

ANYTHING YET, BUT THEY'RE

LOOKING FOR THE

POSSIBILITY OF A LAUNCH OF

SOME MISSILE.

WE'VE GOT ALL THESE

THINGS.

WE NEED GOD.

THIS NATION -- WE NEED THE

PROTECTION OF ALMIGHTY

GOD.

AND I WANT YOU TO JOIN

WITH ME AS WE PRAY OVER

AND OVER AND OVER AGAIN

FOR THIS GREAT NATION.

> WELL, AT LEAST 17

PEOPLE ARE DEAD FROM THOSE

HUGE WILDFIRES, AND UP TO

2,000 BUILDINGS HAVE BEEN

DESTROYED.

Terry: THOSE NUMBERS

ARE EXPECTED TO GET EVEN

WORSE IN THE DAYS AHEAD

BECAUSE IT COULD BE WEEKS

UNTIL SOME OF THE FIRES

ARE BROUGHT UNDER CONTROL.

EFREM GRAHAM HAS THIS

STORY.

Efrem: FIREFIGHTERS

BRAVE ANOTHER DAY OF

MASSIVE WILDFIRES BURNING

OUT OF CONTROL IN

CALIFORNIA'S WINE COUNTRY.

THE END OF THIS BATTLE IN

NORTHERN CALIFORNIA IS

NOWHERE IN SIGHT.

WE HAVE FOLKS ON THE

FIRE LINE STARTING THEIR

THIRD SHIFT RIGHT NOW THAT

HAVE NOT BEEN RELIEVED.

Efrem: 17 WILDFIRES

RAGING ACROSS SEVEN

COUNTIES IN NORTHERN

CALIFORNIA HAVE TURNED

ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD TO

ASH.

WE WERE AWOKEN TO A RED

GLOW, AND HAD MINUTES TO

ACTUALLY GET OUT OF THE

HOUSE, WAKE OUR KIDS UP.

Efrem: MANY WHO SPENT

DECADES BUILDING THEIR

DREAM HOME WATCHED THEM

BURN IN THE FIRESTORM.

CREWS BATTLING THE FIRES

WERE FORCED TO JUST LET

THE HOMES GO.

WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF

WATER, SO THE WATER SUPPLY

IS DIFFICULT.

Efrem: FIREFIGHTERS

SAY THEIR FIRST PRIORITY

IS SAVING LIVES AND THEN

PROPERTY.

BUT WITH NEARLY 200 PEOPLE

STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR,

THEY WARN THE DEATH TOLL

IS LIKELY TO RISE.

THIS MAN LOST HIS PARENTS.

THEY WERE MARRIED FOR 75

YEARS AND DIED TOGETHER

WHEN THE FIRE TORE THROUGH

THEIR HOME.

IT HIT SO FAST.

AND THEY JUST DIDN'T HAVE

A CHANCE.

MY MOTHER HAD A STROKE,

AND SHE COULDN'T MOVE VERY

WELL AT ALL.

AND MY FATHER CERTAINLY

NEVER WOULD HAVE LEFT HER.

Efrem: IN SOUTHERN

CALIFORNIA FIREFIGHTERS

ARE SLOWLY GETTING AN

UPPER HAND, DOUSING

HOTSPOTS IN THE CHARRED

REMAINS.

BUT THE ROAD AHEAD IS

STILL UNCERTAIN, WHEN IT

COMES TO FINDING THE CAUSE

OF THE DEADLY MASSIVE

FIRES IN NORTHERN

CALIFORNIA AND COUNTING

THE COSTS OF ALL THAT IS

LOST.

PERSONALLY, I THINK IT

WILL BE ONE OF THE WORST

DISASTERS IN CALIFORNIA

HISTORY.

Efrem: EFREM GRAHAM,

CBN NEWS.

Pat: ONE OF THE WORST

DISASTERS IN CALIFORNIA

HISTORY.

PLEASE PRAY FOR THOSE

PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA.

PRAY FOR THEM, FOR THE

LORD TO BE WITH THEM.

WE GO THROUGH SUFFERING.

THIS WORLD WE'RE IN IS A

WORLD OF SUFFERING.

AND TO THINK WE'RE GOING

TO BE SPARED IS AN

ILLUSION BECAUSE NONE OF

US ARE GOING TO BE SPARED.

BUT, NEVERTHELESS, THESE

TRAGEDIES ARE REALLY

HURTING US.

AND PLEASE PRAY.

PLEASE PRAY FOR

CALIFORNIA.

TERRY, LET'S DO IT RIGHT

NOW.

FATHER, WE PRAY FOR THESE

PEOPLE IN CALIFORNIA.

LORD, THE DEVASTATION,

LOSING THEIR LOVED ONES,

LOSING THEIR PROPERTY,

LOSING EVERYTHING THEY'VE

SPENT THEIR WHOLE LIVES

ACCUMULATEING, ALAKACCUMULATING, ALL GONE

UP IN SMOKE.

COMFORT THE PEOPLE IN

PUERTO RICO, COMFORT THE

PEOPLE IN TEXAS AND

FLORIDA, AND HELP THEM

RESTORE AND REBUILD IN

JESUS' NAME.

AMEN.

Terry: AMEN.

Pat: IN OTHER NEWS,

IN AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

WITH CBN NEWS,

ATTORNEY-GENERAL JEFF

SESSIONS SAYS CHRISTIAN

BUSINESS OWNERS HAVE A,

QUOTE, "FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT

TO RELIGIOUS FREEDOM IN

THE WORKPLACE."

JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT.

John: THAT'S RIGHT,

PAT.

SPEAKING WITH DAVID BRODY,

SESSIONS ADDRESSED WEATHER

CHRISTIAN BAK BAKERS ARE

WITHIN THEIR LEGAL RIGHTS

NOT TO MAKE A CAKE FOR A

GAY WEDDING.

David: IS IT THE

VIEW OF THE DEPARTMENT OF

JUSTICE, FROM A GUIDANCE

PERSPECTIVE -- NOT LAW; I

UNDERSTAND LAW IS

DIFFERENT -- THAT THEY

HAVE A RIGHT, IF YOU WILL,

TO NOT SELL A CAKE TO

SOMEONE IF THEY'RE HAVING

A GAY WEDDING?

IS THAT WHAT THE

DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE IS

SAYING AS RELATES TO THE

GUIDANCE THEY PUT OUT?

WHAT I WOULD SAY TO YOU

NOW, WHILE THE MATTER IS

IN LITIGATION -- I WOULD

JUST SAY TO YOU THAT TOO

OFTEN WE HAVE IGNORED WHAT

THE CONSTITUTION ACTUALLY

SAYS.

IT SAYS CONGRESS SHALL

MAKE NO LAW RESPECTING THE

ESTABLISHMENT OF A

RELIGION, NOR PROHIBITING

THE FREE EXERCISE THERE

OF.

SO THE QUESTION IS -- THE

CAKE BAKER HAS MORE THAN

JUST A PERSONAL VIEW HERE.

HE HAS A RELIGIOUS VIEW.

AND HE FEELS THAT HE IS

NOT BEING ABLE TO FREELY

EXERCISE HIS RELIGION BY

BEING REQUIRED TO

PARTICIPATE IN A CEREMONY

IN SOME FASHION THAT HE

DOES NOT BELIEVE IN.

SO WE THINK THAT RIGHT IS

A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT.

AND OUGHT TO BE RESPECTED

AS WE WORK THROUGH THIS

PROCESS.

John: DAVID WILL HAVE

AN INDEPTH STORY ON HIS

DISCUSSION WITH

ATTORNEY-GENERAL SESSIONS

ON TOMORROW'S "700 CLUB."

AND YOU CAN SEE THE ENTIRE

INTERVIEW, IN WHEN GENERAL

SESSIONS TALKS ABOUT HIS

FEELING ON IMMIGRATION,

AND THE ROLE OF FAITH IN

HIS OWN LIFE, TODAY ON THE

CBN NEWS ONLINE PROGRAM

"FAITH NATION."

YOU CAN FIND THAT ON

Facebook.COM/CBN NEWS.

Pat: WE HAVE SUCH A

BIG DEAL ABOUT THE

ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE.

WELL, YOU CAN'T MAKE

STUDENTS PRAY.

YOU CAN'T HAVE PRAYER IN

SCHOOLS.

SPORTS TEAMS CAN'T VOW IN

PRAYER BECAUSE IT WILL

VIOLENT THE, QUOTE,

"SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND

STATE."

THERE IS NOTHING IN THE

CONSTITUTION -- I WANT TO

SAY IT VERY CLEARLY --

THERE IS ABSOLUTELY

NOTHING IN THE UNITED

STATES CONSTITUTION THAT

TALKS ABOUT THE SEPARATION

OF CHURCH AND STATE.

IT WAS IN THE SOVIET

CONSTITUTION.

IT IS NOT IN OUR

CONSTITUTION.

BUT IT HAS BEEN READ INTO

OUR CONSTITUTION BY PEOPLE

WHO WANT TO LIMIT THE

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

BUT WHAT OUR CONSTITUTION

SAYS IS THAT CONGRESS --

CONGRESS -- NOT THE

STATES, BY THE WAY, BUT

CONGRESS SHALL PASS NO LAW

RESPECTING AN

ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION.

AND WHAT WAS AN

ESTABLISHMENT OF RELIGION?

IT WAS LIKE THE

ESTABLISHED CHURCH THEY

USED TO HAVE BACK IN

VIRGINIA IN THE EARLY

DAYS, WHEN THE ANGLICAN

CHURCH WAS, QUOTE,

"ESTABLISHED."

WE'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO

ESTABLISHMENT ONE IN AN

OFFICIAL CHURCH.

THAT'S WHAT THE

CONSTITUTION HAS BEEN

WRITTEN TO SAY.

BUT THAT HAS READ TO

BELIEVE MILK AND COOKIES

FOR KINDERGARTEN CHILDREN.

IT IS UNBELIEVABLE HOW WE

STRETCHED THE

ESTABLISHMENT CLAUSE.

BUT THE FREE EXERCISE

CLAUSE HAS HARDLY BEEN

LITIGATED, HARDLY BEEN

DISCUSSED, AND HARDLY

MENTIONED IN ANY OF THESE

DEBATES.

BUT CHRISTIANS ARE

SUPPOSED TO HAVE THE FREE

EXERCISE.

AS A MATTER OF FACT, ALL

BELIEVERS ARE SUPPOSED TO

HAVE THE FREE EXERCISE.

AND CONGRESS IS NOT

SUPPOSED TO PASS ANY LAW

THAT WOULD ESTABLISHMENT

RELIGION OR PROHIBIT THE

FREE EXERCISER SIZEXERCISE OF RELIGION.

I SALUTE ATTORNEY-GENERAL

SESSIONS.

HE HAS GOT IT RIGHT.

IT WILL REVERSE A WHOLE

LOT OF THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION'S WAR ON

RELIGION.

AND FOR THAT I REJOICE.

John: SPEAKING OF

FORMER PRESIDENT OBAMA, HE

AND HILLARY CLINTON HAVE

DENOUNCED HARVEY

WEINSTEIN.

THAT CAME AFTER DAYS OF

CHARGES THAT HE HAD

SEXUALLY HARASSED WOMEN.

WEINSTEIN HAS LONG BEEN A

MAJOR CONTRIBUTOR TO THE

DEMOCRATIC PARTY.

WEINSTEIN GAVE MORE THAN

$1.4 MILLION TO COMPAIGNS

AND POLITICAL GROUPS,

MAINLY DEMOCRATIC, BETWEEN

1990 AND 2016.

> WELL, TWO HURRICANES

IN SEPTEMBER LEFT THE

ISLAND OF PUERTO RICO

ALMOST COMPLETELY IN THE

DARK.

CHUCK HOLTON VISITED THE

DEVASTATION AND SHOWS US

WHAT IT IS LIKE FOR

RESIDENTS WHO ARE LOOKING

AT SO MANY MONTHS WITHOUT

MANY MODERN CONVENIENCES

WE OFTEN TAKE FOR GRANTED.

Reporter: HURRICANE

MARIA WAS THE MOST

POWERFUL HURRICANE TO HIT

THIS ISLAND IN MORE THAN

80 YEARS.

IT WAS LIKE A 60-MILE-WIDE

TORNADO THAT JUST HIT A

BULL'S EYE ON THE NATION

OF PUERTO RICO.

IT WAS SO POWERFUL IT BLEW

PAINT OFF THE WALLS AND

BLEW BARK OFF TREES.

BUT IT ALSO ESSENTIALLY

DESTROYED THE ENTIRE POWER

SYSTEM.

AS WE DRIVE AROUND HERE,

ALMOST EVERY POWER POLE IS

DAMAGED, DOWNED, BROKEN.

THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO

BASICALLY REBUILD IT FROM

THE GROUND UP.

BUT THAT IS GOING TO BE A

VERY DIFFICULT PROPOSITION

BECAUSE PUERTO RICO WAS IN

BAD SHAPE BEFORE THE

STORM.

WHAT I MEAN IS THAT THE

GOVERNMENT OF PUERTO RICO

HAS BEEN FUNDING ITS

OPERATIONS WITH DEBT FOR

DECADES.

THEY'VE BEEN SELLING BONDS

TO U.S. INVESTORS, AND

EVENTUALLY THE COST OF

THAT DEBT GOT SO HIGH THEY

WERE UNABLE TO EVEN PAY

THE INTEREST ON IT, AND

THEY DEFAULTED BACK IN

JULY.

SO NOW THEY'RE UNABLE TO

EVEN BORROW MONEY FOR

MAINTENANCE AND

OPERATIONS.

MANY OF THE EMPLOYEES OF

THE LOCAL POWER COMPANY

FOUND OUT THEY WERE GOING

TO DEFAULT AND WERE AFRAID

THEY WERE GOING TO LOSE

THEIR PENSIONS.

SO ABOUT 600 OF THEM

QUILT, TOOK AN EARLY

RETIREMENT, BEFORE THEY

DEFAULTED ON THAT DEBT.

WHAT THAT MEANS IS THE

LOCAL POWER COMPANY HERE

DOESN'T EVEN HAVE ENOUGH

EMPLOYEES TO DO

MAINTENANCE ON THEIR WHOLE

SYSTEM, MUCH LESS REPAIRS.

IN ADDITION TO THAT,

DURING THE OBAMA

ADMINISTRATION, ABOUT

$170 MILLION WAS EARMARKED

FOR WHAT THEY CALL GREEN

ENERGY, THAT IS WINDMILLS

AND SOLAR FARMS.

GUESS WHAT?

THOSE THINGS WERE ALSO

COMPLETELY DESTROYED IN

THIS HURRICANE.

IT IS GOING TO BE MONTHS

BEFORE EVERYBODY ON PUERTO

RICO GETS THEIR POWER

BACK.

AND HOW THEY'RE GOING TO

PAY FOR IT IS ANYBODY'S

GUESS.

SO WE WENT AND TALKED WITH

SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE SORT

OF ON THE END OF THE LINE,

THAT WILL PROBABLY BE THE

LAST ONES TO GET

ELECTRICITY AGAIN, TO SEE

WHAT IT HAS BEEN LIKE FOR

THEM ALREADY AND WHAT IT

IS GOING TO PROBABLY BE

LIKE IN THE FUTURE.

Reporter: NELDA LIVES

AND THE SMALL VILLAGE ON

THE COAST, WHERE THE STORM

FIRST MADE LANDFALL.

MY BLOOD PRESSURE WENT

UP BECAUSE OF THE HEAT.

SINCE THE 21st OF

SEPTEMBER, WE HAVE HAD NO

WATER.

SO I'M PRAYING THAT IT

RAINS.

Reporter: HER

GRANDSONS ARE LEARNING TO

LIVE WITHOUT MODERN

PASTTIMES, AND RUMORS ARE

THEY WOULDN'T HAVE LIGHT

INTO WELL INTO 2018.

I HAVE TO HAVE FAITH IT

WILL BE SOONER THAN THAT.

Reporter: NEARBY CELL

TOWERS WERE ALSO KNOCKED

OUT, BUT SHE HAS A MESSAGE

TO SEND TO THE WORLD.

IN THE MIDDLE OF THE

TRIAL, IN THE HEAT OF THE

BATTLE, GOD IS THERE.

HE GIVES US STRENGTH.

HE GIVES US POWER.

BECAUSE I KNOW THAT GOD

HAS IT ALL UNDER CONTROL.

IN THE MOMENT WE ARE

CRYING, BUT WITH CHRIST

ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.

WE KEEP MOVING FORWARD.

John: PAT, CHUCK'S

REPORT HELPS SHINE THE

LIGHT ON JUST HOW MUCH

DEVASTATION IS IN PUERTO

RICO.

Pat: LADIES AND

GENTLEMEN, I WANT YOU TO

PUT YOURSELF IN THE

POSITION OF THOSE PEOPLE

WHO LIVE DOWN THERE.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF ALL

OF A SUDDEN YOU COULDN'T

TURN ON THE LIGHTS?

YOU COULDN'T HAVE ANY

REFRIGERATION.

YOU COULDN'T HAVE ANY

MICROWAVE.

YOU COULDN'T HAVE, OF

COURSE, ANY TELEVISION OR

RADIO.

NO POWER.

THEY DON'T HAVE POWER.

HOW DO YOU SURVIVE?

WELL, YOU'D BETTER GO OUT

AND FIND SOME ALTERNATE

GENERATOR OR SOMETHING.

THAT'S WHAT HAS HAPPENED

TO THOSE PEOPLE.

AND THE THING THAT I HAVE

BEEN CONCERNED ABOUT, AND

I'M STILL CONCERNED ABOUT,

IS AN E.M.P. BLAST OR AN

ELECTRONIC MAGNETIC PULSE

THAT CAN BE DIRECTED IN

THE ATMOSPHERE TO THE GRID

HERE IN AMERICA.

WE URGENTLY -- AND I SAY

THAT WITH ALL SINCERITY --

WE URGENTLY NEED TO HARDEN

THAT GRID.

WE URGENTLY NEED TO HARDEN

THOSE TRANSMISSION POINTS

OF ELECTRICITY TO MAKE

SURE THAT SOME KIND OF A

PULSE, COMING FROM THE SUN

ITSELF OR FROM THE

RUSSIANS OR WHOEVER --

THEY NEED TO DO SOMETHING.

NOW, "OPERATION BLESSING"

HAS DONE THIS -- LISTEN

VERY CAREFULLY.

HERE IS WHAT "OPERATION

BLESSING" HAS DONE FOR

PUERTO RICO.

THEY HAVE SENT INTO THAT

AREA, NINE WATER DESAL

DESALINATION UNITS SO THEY

CAN TURN SALTWATER INTO

PORTABLE WATER.

DRINKING WATER.

THEY HAVE SOLAR CUBES TO

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DOWN

THERE SO THEY CAN HAVE

SOLAR POWER AND GET LIGHT

OUT OF SOLAR.

WE'RE HELPING AS MUCH AS

WE CAN.

AND, YOU KNOW, THE

GOVERNMENT IS DOING A LOT,

BUT WE'RE DOING SOMETHING,

TOO.

IF YOU WANT TO HELP PUERTO

RICO, YOU CAN CALL IN OR

WRITE IN TO "OPERATION

BLESSING," DISASTER RELIEF

FUND.

AND SOLAR POWER AND CLEAN

DRINKING WATER, AND, OF

COURSE, FOOD AND CLOTHES

AND ALL OF THE OTHER

THINGS THAT WE PROVIDE FOR

THEM.

BUT THAT'S PART OF IT.

NOW, YOU WANT TO HEAR

SOMETHING AMAZING?

THE ISRAELIS HAVE COME TO

HELP US AND RUSSIAN

GOVERNMENT HACKERS WERE

LOOKING INTO COMPUTERS

AROUND THE WORLD, TRYING

TO FIND THE CODE NAMES FOR

AMERICAN INTELLIGENCE

PROGRAMS.

AND WHAT THEY DIDN'T KNOW

WAS THAT ISRAELI

INTELLIGENCE OFFICERS WERE

ELECTRONICALLY MONITORING

THEM WHILE THEY WERE DOING

IT.

THE "NEW YORK TIMES"

REPORTS THAT AN ANTI-VIRUS

SOFTWARE CAME THE RUSSIANS

ACCESS TO 400 MILLION

COMPUTERS WORLDWIDE,

INCLUDING TWO DOZEN USED

BY AMERICAN AGENCIES.

WELL, THE ISRAELIS HACKED

INTO THAT NETWORK AND LET

THE U.S. KNOW THAT THE

RUSSIANS WERE DOING IT.

NOW, I WANT TO TELL YOU

THAT I AM THRILLED THAT

REGENT UNIVERSITY HAS

BOUGHT A CYBER RANGE FROM

CYBER BIT, WHICH IS AN

ISRAELI COMPANY.

HIGHLY SOPHISTICATED.

AND I'M SO GLAD THAT THESE

GOOD PEOPLE ARE OUR

PARTNERS IN THIS ENDEAVOR.

AND I'M SO GLAD THEY'RE

HELPING THE U.S.

SO THE U.S. IS TAKING THE

KAPPERSKY SOFTWARE OFF THE

GOVERNMENT COMPUTERS,

KEEPING US SAFE.

Terry: IT IS A TIME

WHEN WE NEED TO BE RAISING

UP PEOPLE WHO KNOW HOW TO

TAKE CHARGE, AND WHO SEE

WHAT IS COMPANY AND KNOW

WHAT TO DO.

Pat: THE RUSSIANS ARE

JUST HAVING MORE FUN WITH

OUR PRIORITY SOFTWARE.

Terry: THEY USED TO

CROWD THE HALLS OF

CONGRESS, AND NOW THERE

ARE ONLY SIX OF THEM.

WHO ARE THEY?

THE PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATS IN

CONGRESS.

WE WOULD VOTE DEMOCRAT

AGAIN IF THEY WOULD CHANGE

THEIR POSITION ON

ABORTION.

Terry: HEAR HOW

THEY'RE TRYING TO CHANGE

THE MINDS OF THEIR PARTY

LEADERS.

> BUT FIRST, ETHEL SAYS,

"I RAISED MY SON IN A

CHRISTIAN HOME.

AND NOW HE WANTS TO MARRY

AN ATHEIST.

SHOULD I RESPECT HIS RIGHT

TO MAKE HIS OWN CHOICE?"

STAY TUNED FOR ANOTHER

ROUND OF TOUGH QUESTIONS

Terry: TIME FOR YOUR

QUESTIONS AND SOME HONEST

ANSWERS.

PAT, THIS FIRST ONE COMES

FROM ETHEL, WHO SAYS,

"WHEN MY SON TOLD ME HE

WAS GOING TO MARRY AN

ATHEIST, IT WAS A TOUGH

TOOL TO SWALLOW, BUT I

MANAGED TO GET THROUGH IT.

I KNOW HE LOVES HER SO

MUCH, I CAN'T BRING MYSELF

TO SAY ANYTHING ABOUT IT.

SHOULD I RESPECT HIS RIGHT

TO MAKE HIS OWN CHOICE?"

Pat: ETHEL, YOUR SON

HAS GROWN UP.

THE BIBLE SAYS, DO NOT BE

UNEQUALLY YOLKED TOGETHER

WITH UNBELIEVERS.

WHAT IS HAPPENING, AS

BILLY GRAHAM SAID YEARS

AGO, YOU MARRY AN ATHEIST,

AND YOU'VE GOT THE DEVIL

FOR YOUR FATHER-IN-LAW.

THIS SON IS GOING TO BE IN

TORMENT BECAUSE THEY WILL

BE FIGHTING ALL THE TIME

ABOUT VERY IMPORTANT

THINGS.

THAT ASSUMES THAT HE

REALLY CARES ABOUT THE

LORD.

IF HE DOESN'T, THEN OF

COURSE THEY'LL BOTH BEE

INTO ATHEISM TOGETHER.

AS A PARENT, YOU CAN

ADVICE HIM AND COUNSEL

HIM.

THE BIBLE SAYS, RAISE UP A

CHILD IN THE WAY HE SHALL

GO, AND WHEN THEY GET OLD,

THEY WON'T DEPART.

Terry: ASHLEY SAYS,

"SOMEONE VERY DEAR TO ME

OPENED UP THAT HE DOESN'T

KNOW WHAT HE BELIEVES IN

AFTER WE DIE.

HE IS NOT SURE HEAVEN

EXISTS.

I BELIEVE IN IT, BUT I

FOUND MYSELF AT A LOSS FOR

WORDS.

I DON'T WANT TO PUSH ANY

BELIEFS ON HIM.

HOW SHOULD I HANDLE THIS?"

Pat: I THINK YOU NEED

TO TELL PEOPLE.

HOW DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LIFE

AFTER DEATH?

WE KNOW SOMEBODY WHO CAME

BACK FROM DEATH.

HIS NAME IS JESUS CHRIST.

HE IS VERIFIED IN THE

BIBLE AND BY EYE WITNESSES

THAT HE ROSE FROM THE

DEAD.

HE DIED AND ROSE FROM THE

DEAD.

HE CAME BACK TO TELL US

WHAT THE AFTER LIFE WAS

ALL ABOUT.

YOU'VE GOT A TREMENDOUS

AMOUNT OF MATERIAL IN THE

BIBLE TALKING ABOUT THE

AFTER LIFE.

THERE IS A LIFE AFTER

DEATH.

WE LIVE ON AFTER THIS

LIFE.

WE'RE SPIRITUAL BEINGS.

AND OUR BODIES WILL DIE,

BUT THE SPIRIT IS GOING TO

LIVE ON FOREVER.

I DON'T KNOW, HOW DO YOU

TELL SOMEBODY THAT?

YOU TAKE THEM TO THE BIBLE

AND YOU SAY, HERE IS WHAT

THE BIBLE SAYS.

IF THEY DON'T BELIEVE THE

BIBLE, WELL...

THE OTHER THING YOU CAN DO

WITH SOMEBODY AS AN

UNBELIEVER IS QUOTE ONE

SCRIPTURE: "IT IS

APPOINTED UNTO MAN ONCE TO

DIE AND AFTER THAT THE

JUDGMENT."

SAY IT OVER AND OVER

AGAIN.

AND THEN THOSE PEOPLE WILL

LEARN FIRSTHAND WHAT LIFE

IS LIKE AFTER THEY DIE.

BUT THEN IT WILL BE TOO

LATE FOR THEM.

ALL RIGHT.

Terry: THIS IS RON

WHO SAYS, "I STRUGGLE

EMOTIONALLY AFTER

INTERVIEWING FOR JOBS.

MY AGE SEEMS TO BECOME MY

BIGGEST HURTLE.

GOD CONTINUES TO PROVIDE

INTERVIEWS, BUT ALL TOO

OFTEN I'M TOLD I'M OVER

QUALIFIED OR OVER

TECHNICAL, A.K.A., TOO

OLD.

I'VE BEEN IN I.T. FOR 25

YEARS.

I'M IN MY LATE 50s, STAY

CURRENT ON TECHNOLOGIES,

AND EVEN DYE MY HAIR TO

LOOK OLDER.

HOW DO I MOLD MY HEART AND

MIND TO STAY RELEVANT TO A

YOUNGER GENERATION?"

Pat: IT IS CLEAR SOME

OF THESE EMPLOYERS ARE

DISCRIMINATING AGAINST YOU

ON ACCOUNT OF YOUR AGE.

I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE TO

HAVE A LAWSUIT, BUT THEY

NEED TO HAVE A WAKEUP CALL

THAT THEY'RE BREAKING THE

LAW.

THEY'LL NEVER TELL YOU

THAT IS THE REASON, BUT IT

IS CLEARLY THE REASON.

I THINK YOU OUGHT TO

DOCUMENT SOME OF THESE

THINGS AND BRING A CASE

AND LET THEM EXPLAIN TO A

JUDGE WHAT THEY'RE DOING.

IN YOUR OWN LIFE -- YOU

KNOW, THERE ARE MANY, MANY

OPPORTUNITIES.

SOME OF THE LATE FORTUNES

WERE MADE BY PEOPLE WHO

MOVED ON INTO THEIR 50s.

YOU THINK OF THE COLONEL

IN KENTUCKY FRIED CHICKEN,

HE WAS IN HIS 60s.

MY FRIEND WHO STARTED

CHICK-FIL-A WAS IN HIS

60s, MAYBE 70s, WHEN

HE STARTED THAT.

YOU HAVE EXPERIENCE.

YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITY.

LOOK FOR AN OPPORTUNITY

WHERE YOU ARE IN CHARGE

YOURSELF AND YOU'RE NOT

DEPENDENT ON SOMEBODY

ELSE.

Terry: THIS IS CARA

WHO SAYS, "I'M WALKING

THROUGH A VERY DARK TIME

IN MY LIFE.

IN THE FACE OF MY

STRUGGLES, I WANT TO

REFLECT THE UTMOST IN TIG IN

INTEGRITY AND CLOSENESS

WITH GOD.

AS HARD AS I TRY, I COME

UP SHORT AND I GET SO MAD

AT MYSELF.

WILL GOD HOLD IT AGAINST

ME ON JUDGMENT DAY FOR THE

WAYS I'M FALLING SHORT, IN

SPITE OF MY DILIGENT

EFFORTS?

OR IS IT ONLY DELIBERATE

SIN WE'RE HELD ACCOUNTABLE

FOR?"

Pat: WHAT DOES THE

BIBLE SAY: BY GRACE HE IS

SAVED, THROUGH FAITH AND

NOT OF OURSELVES, AS A

GIFT OF GOD.

SALVATION IS A GIFT OF GOD

ON ACCOUNT OF FAITH AND

GRACE, UNMERITED FAVOR.

YOU DON'T EARN SALVATION.

YOU'RE FO NOT GOING TO WORK

YOUR WAY TO HEAVEN.

SO STOP TRYING.

YOU'RE TRYING TOO MUCH.

TRUST IN THE LORD AND LET

HIM TAKE CARE OF THE

PROBLEM.

GIVE HIM YOUR LIFE AND

THEN LET THE HOLY SPIRIT

LEAD YOU AND THEN FOLLOW

THE LEADING OF THE HOLY

SPIRIT.

Terry: THIS IS

DOROTHY WHO SAYS, "OUR

CHURCH TEACHES THAT A BABY

BAPTIZED IS NOW A CHILD OF

CHRIST.

HOW CAN THAT BE SINCE A

BABY CANNOT COMMIT TO

ANYTHING?"

Pat: BEING A BAPTIST,

I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU ON

THAT PARTICULAR POINT OF

VIEW.

THERE ARE SOME WHO BELIEVE

IN -- THEY SAY IF THE

PARENTS CONSENT TO THE

BAPTISM, THEY ARE CON

SENDINCONSENTING TO THE FACT

THAT THE CHILD -- BAPTISM

IS FOR BELIEVERS.

THAT'S WHAT THE BAPTIST

TISTSBELIEVE, AND I'M A

BAPTIST.

THEY BELIEVE IN BAPTISM,

REGENERATION.

I THINK YOU TAKE A LITTLE

BABY AND PUT SOME WATER ON

HIS HEAD, HE IS NOT GOING

TO NECESSARILY LIVE A

GODLY LIFE.

BUT THAT BRINGS THEM INTO

THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE

CHURCH.

AND THERE ARE MANY, MANY

PEOPLE, CERTAINLY

CATHOLICS AND EPISCOPALS

AND OTHERS WHO BELIEVE IN

SPRINKLING OR DEDICATION

OF CHILDREN.

AND THEIR PARENTS ARE

SAYING, WE WILL MAKE SURE

THESE CHILDREN ARE RAISED

IN THE CHRISTIAN FAITH.

I DO BELIEVE BAPTISM IS

FOR BELIEVERS.

Terry: THAT'S ALL OF

THE TIME WE HAVE FOR

QUESTIONS.

Pat: THEY ARE SO

RARE, THEY MIGHT AS WELL

BE PUT ON AN ENDANGERED

SPECIES LIST.

WHAT ARE THOSE RARE

PEOPLE?

WHERE DO YOU FIND THEM?

WHERE DO YOU LOOK FOR

THEM?

THEY'RE PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATS

IN CONGRESS.

AND SOME CRITICS SAY THAT

THE PALTRY SHOWING IS

ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HOW OUT

OF TOUCH DEMOCRATS ARE

WITH MANY OF THEIR VOTERS.

OUR AMBER C. STRONG WENT

TO WASHINGTON TO FIND OUT

IF SHE COULD LOCATE ANY OF

THETHESE ENDANGERED PEOPLE.

Reporter: DEMOCRATS

ONCE CLAIMED TO BE THE BIT

PARTY, ACCEPTING VARYING

IDEAS AND DIFFERENT VIEWS.

IT APPEARS THERE IS NO

LONGER ANY ROOM IN THE

TENT FOR AT LEAST ONE,

PRO-LIFE DEMOCRATS.

TODAY THERE ARE ONLY SIX.

WHILE THEY MAY NOT HAVE

MUCH OF A VOICE INSIDE OF

THESE HALLS, PRO-LIFE

DEMOCRATS EXIST, AND

LEADERS IN THE MOVEMENT

SAY IT IS TIME FOR THEIR

VOICE TO BE HEARD, ALL

21 MILLION OF THEM.

SO WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE

POLLS, A LOT OF TIMES THE

POLLS WILL SAY, DO YOU

SUPPORT ROE VS. WADE.

AND THEY'LL CALL WHATEVER

NUMBER THAT IS THE NUMBER

OF DEMOCRATS WHO SUPPORT

ABORTION.

BUT WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE

DETAILS FURTHER, YOU KNOW,

ABOUT A THIRD OF DEMOCRATS

OPPOSE ABORTION.

Reporter: AS

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF

DEMOCRATS FOR LIFE OF

AMERICA, KRISTIN DAY HEARS

FROM A LOT OF VOTERS WHO

FEEL IGNORED BY THE PARTY.

THERE ARE SO MANY

PEOPLE OUT THERE.

I HEAR IT ALL OF THE TIME.

I WAS DOING AN INTERVIEW

ON THE RADIO AND SOME

CALLERS CALLED IN, AND I

THINK THREE IN A ROW SAID,

WE WOULD VOTE DEMOCRAT

AGAIN IF THEY WOULD CHANGE

THEIR POSITION ON

ABORTION.

Reporter: FORMER

CONGRESSWOMAN MARILYN

MUSGRAVE SEES A SHIFT ON

THE HORIZON.

THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS

OUT OF TOUCH WITH HISPANIC

VOTERS WHO THINK IN A

MAJORITY THAT ABORTION

SHOULD BE BANNEDED FO BANNED FOR ANY

AND ALL REASONS.

Reporter: THIS

INFORMATION WITH THE

DESIRE TO WIN ELECTIONS,

LED SOME LEADERS TO ACT.

BEN RAY TRIED TO REOPEN

THE TENT TO PROLIFERS BY

TELLING THE NEWSPAPER,

THERE IS NOT A LITMUS TEST

FOR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES.

AS WE LOOK AT CANDIDATES

ACROSS THE COUNTRY, YOU

NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU HAVE

THE CANDIDATES THAT CAN

WIN IN THESE DISTRICTS

ACROSS AMERICA.

ALTHOUGH NANCY PELOSI AND

OTHERS INDICATE THEY'RE

OPEN TO THE IDEA,

PRO-CHOICE ADVOCATES MOVED

QUICKLY TO CLOSE THE DOOR.

PRO CHOICE AMERICA

PRESIDENT TWEETED,

"IGNORING ONE'S

EQUALLITIES TO WIN

ELECTIONS IS A BANKRUPT

STRATEGY."

THEIR EXTREMISM IS VERY

DAMAGING TO THE PARTY.

THAT'S WHY YOU'RE HEARING

LEADERS SAYING THERE

REALLY SHOULDN'T BE A

LITMUS TEST.

Reporter: MICHAEL

WEAR SAYS SUPPORTING

PRO-LIFE CANDIDATES JUST

MAKES SENSE.

HE POINTS OUT IN INDIANA

SENATOR JOE DONNELLY.

HE SAYS SOMEONE WITH THAT

STANCE WILL GEL WITH

LIKELY VOTERS.

IT IS ONLY IN D.C.

WHERE THAT ARGUMENT MAKES

SENSE.

NOT EVEN THEIR OWN

CONSTITUENTS BELIEVE THAT

WOMEN WOULD BE BETTER OFF,

THE COUNTRY WOULD BE

BETTER OFF IF WE HAVE

SO-CALLED PURE ISSUES,

WHICH FOR THEM MEANS

SUPPORTING FEDERAL FUNDING

FOR ABORTIONS, SUPPORTING

NO RESTRICTIONS ON

ABORTION, ETC.

Reporter: EVEN STILL,

HE REMAINS HOPEFUL ABOUT

THE FUTURE OF THE PARTY.

THE FIGHT IS REAL.

ONE OF THE UNFORTUNE

THINGS ABOUT THE

DEMOCRATIC PARTY IS

USUALLY TAKES US LOSING.

WHEN I WAS IN CONGRESS,

THERE WERE PRO-LIFE

DEMOCRATS THAT WERE

ELECTED, AND THAT WAS THE

STRATEGY OF ROM EMMANUEL

WHO HEADED UP THE CAMPAIGN

COMMITTEE AT THAT TIME.

BUT AFTER THEY WERE

ELECTED, THE MAJORITY

CHOSE NANCY PELOSI AS

SPEAKER, AND THEY ADVANCED

THEIR PROABORTION A..

Reporter: IAGENDA.

Reporter: SO WHY NOT

JOIN THE OTHER SIDE?

FOR SOME DEMOCRATS, THE

IDEAL PARTY MEANS PROVING MOVING

FROM PRO-LIFE TO WHOLE

LIFE, AND THAT MEANS

CARING FOR THE LIFE OF THE

MOTHER AND THE BAY FROM BABY

THROUGH DAY ONE.

THEY WANT ANTI-POVERTY

PROGRAMS, PRE-NATAL CARE.

SO THE FIGHT TO WIN

ELECTIONS COULD PLAY OUT

IN A UNIQUE WAY NEXT YEAR,

PITTING DEMOCRAT VERSUS

DEMOCRAT WHEN IT COMES TO

SUPPORTING LIFE.

AMBER C. STRONG, CBN NEWS.

Pat: THANKS, AMBER.

WHEN I WATCHED THAT DEBATE

YEARS AGO BETWEEN THEN

CANDIDATE PRESIDENT TRUMP

AND HILLARY CLINTON -- DID

YOU SEE THAT DEBATE?

Terry: I'M SURE.

I WATCHED THEM ALL.

Pat: YOU REMEMBER HOW

HILLARY CAME OUT SO

STRONGLY?

SHE WAS ADAMANT ON

DEFENDING WHAT IS CALLED

PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION.

AND TRUMP CALLED HER ON

IT.

AND SHE SAID, NO, NO, NO,

THAT'S A WOMAN'S RIGHT.

AND WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP

POINTED OUT IS THAT THIS

IS A DISMEMBERING OF A

LIVING BABY INSIDE THE

MOTHER'S WOMB ON THE BIRTH

CANAL, JUST AS THE CHILD

IS BEING BORN.

AND HILLARY CLINTON SAID

I'M GOING TO DEFEND THAT

PROCEDURE WITH ALL OF MY

STRENGTH AND HEART.

AND YOU JUST SAY, WHOA,

WHOA!

WHEN I HEARD THAT, I SAID,

THIS IS CRAZY.

AND THAT, AMONG OTHER

THINGS, HELPED HER LOSE

THE ELECTION.

PEOPLE WERE TALKING ABOUT

THE RUSSIAN HACKING AND

ALL OF THAT, BUT IT WAS

STANDS ON ISSUES OF THAT

MAGNITUDE.

WHEN YOU SAY I AM GOING TO

STAND FOR THE

DISMEMBERMENT OF BABIES IN

THE MOTHER'S WOMB,

PARTIAL-BIRTH ABORTION --

THAT'S WHAT IT IS.

THE CHILD IS PARTIALLY

BORN AND THEN THEY ABORT

IT.

AND SHE SAID, I'M GOING TO

DEFEND THAT.

THAT'S PART OF A WOMAN'S

RIGHT TO CHOOSE.

SHE LOST A LOT OF VOTES.

IT WAS JUST SO BLATENT.

SO, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,

IF THE DEMOCRATS WILL COME

OFF OF THAT POSITION --

BUT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO

DO IT BECAUSE THEY'RE

BEING DRIVEN BY THE ULTRA

LEFT.

UNFORTUNATELY, THE

EXTREMISTS ARE REALLY IN

CHARGE OF MANY OF THESE

ISSUES THAT THEY'RE

FIGHTING.

THE EXTREMISTS ON THE

RIGHT AND THE LEFT.

IT IS A DANGEROUS THING

FOR AMERICA.

Terry: IT CERTAINLY

IS.

THAT PROCEDURE, ALSO,

ACTUALLY IS TROUBLING FOR

THE HEALTH OF THE MOTHER

BECAUSE THE BABY HAS TO BE

REVERSED IN ITS BIRTH

DIRECTION.

IT HAS TO COME OUT FEET

FIRST SO THAT IT ISN'T

BORN.

AND WHILE THE HEAD IS

STILL IN THERE, THE BRAIN

IS PENETRATED, AND THE

BRAINS ARE SUCKED OUT.

SO THE BABY DOESN'T TAKE A

BREATH.

Pat: BUT PART OF THE

BABY IS ALREADY BORN, AND

THE WHOLE THING IS JUST

HIDEOUS.

IT'S HIDEOUS!

AND I LISTENED TO THE

DEBATE AND I WAS STUNNEDED

SHE WOULD DEFEND THAT.

I WAS STUNNED.

BUT IT WAS IN PUBLIC VIEW.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT

SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T

HAPPEN.

IT HAPPENED.

I WAS PERSONALLY AMAZED

THAT SHE HELD ON TO THAT,

AND TRUMP CALLED HER ON

IT.

AND, WELL, HE WON.

OKAY, TERRY, WHAT'S NEXT?

Terry: COMING UP, HE

IS THE MAN BEHIND THE

COMPASSION CONFERENCES,

AND HE WANTS TO TELL KIDS

ABOUT THE INDESCRIBABLE

WONDERS OF GOD.

WE'RE GOING TO SIT DOWN

WITH LOUIE GIGLIO, AND

THAT'S NEXT.

Terry: WHEN WAS THE

LAST TIME YOU SAID THE

WORD "AWESOME?"

THAT SENTENCE OPENS UP

LOUIE GIGLIO'S NEW BOOK,

"INDESCRIBABLE."

HE SAYS HE WANTS CHILDREN

TO SEE THE AWESOMENESS OF

GOD'S CREATION.

Reporter: LOUIE IS

THE PASTOR OF A CHURCH IN

ATLANTA, GEORGIA.

AND HE IS THE PASTOR OF

CONFERENCES WHERE COLLEGE

KIDS FROM AROUND THE WORLD

MEET FOR MORE THAN JUST

MUSIC.

THIS YEAR, 50,000 PEOPLE

FROM ALL STATES PACKED THE

PASSION DOME TO PRAY FOR A

SPIRITUAL AWAKENING FOR A

NEW GENERATION.

NOW LOUIE IS GROWING HIS

PLATFORM TO REACH YOUNGER

KIDS WITH HIS FIRST EVER

CHILDREN'S BOOK,

"INDESCRIBABLE," A

DEVOTION FOR KIDS ABOUT

GOD AND SCIENCE.

Wendy: WITH US NOW IS

LOUIE GIGLIO.

WELCOME BACK TO "THE 700

CLUB."

GREAT TO SEE YOU AGAIN.

Wendy: GREAT TO SEE

YOU AGAIN.

WHY IS IT SO IMPORTANT TO

INTRODUCE CHILDREN TO THE

ASPECTS OF CREATION?

I THINK ONE OF THE

THINGS THAT ARE SAID TO ME

IS THAT THERE IS SOMETIMES

A DIVIDE BETWEEN FAITH AND

SCIENCE.

LIKE YOU HAVE TO PICK ONE

OR THE OTHER.

DO YOU BELIEVE IN GOD AND

ALL OF THE MIRACLES AND

FAITH, OR DO YOU BELIEVE

IN SCIENCE AND THINGS YOU

CAN MEASURE AND ACTUALLY

ARE TANGIBLE.

THERE SHOULDN'T BE A BIG

DIVIDE BETWEEN SCIENCE AND

FAITH.

BECAUSE IF GOD DID, IN

FACT, CREATE THE UNIVERSE,

THAT WOULD MAKE GOD THE

GREATEST SCIENTIST OF ALL

OF THE SCIENTISTS THAT

HAVE EVER BEEN.

I WANT TO HELP KIDS SEE

GOD IS NOT OPPOSED TO

SCIENCE.

HE IS A SCIENTIST.

AND EVERYTHING HE HAS

MADE, HE HAS MADE FOR HIS

GLORY.

WE DISCOVER WHO HE IS BY

DISCOVERING WHAT IT IS

THAT HE HAS MADE.

Wendy: THIS BOOK, "IN

DESCRIBABLE: 100 DEVOTIONS

ABOUT GOD AND SCIENCE, SCIENCE,"

EXPLORES FOUR MAJOR

SCIENTIFIC TOPICS.

YEAH.

YOU LOOK AT THE CREATION

HE HAS MADE IN THE GALAXY,

STARS, AND WE TRY TO COVER

THAT, AND ANIMALS AND

DIFFERENT KINDS OF THINGS

WE SEE FROM ANIMALS.

THE FACT THAT BUTTERFLIES

SMELL WITH THEIR FEET.

WHO KNEW?

Wendy: I DIDN'T KNOW

THAT.

>

>THAT.

AND WE LOOK AT THE

HUMAN BODY, AND THERE ARE

SO MANY GREAT THINGS ABOUT

OUR HUMAN BODY.

WHEN A LITTLE EMBRYO IS IN

THE WOMB, SO MANY MIRACLES

ARE HAPPENING EVERY DAY.

ABOUT THE FIFTH MONTH IN

THE WOMB, A BABY'S EYES

ARE FORMED.

AND IN THE SIXTH MONTH IN

THE WOMB, THERE IS ONE

PIECE OF SKIN OVER A

CHILD'S EYE THAT SOMEHOW

AT THE SIX-MONTH MARK,

MIRACULOUSLY, AS IF IT

WERE THE HAND OF GOD, AN

INCISION IS MADE AND TWO

EYE LIDS ARE FORMED.

SCIENCE CAN TELL YOU THAT

THAT HAPPENS, BUT IT CAN'T

TELL YOU EXACT HOW IT

HAPPENS.

AND WE STEP BACK AND SAY,

WOW, IN THE DETAILS OF THE

UNIVERSE, THE STARS, AND

GALAXIES, AND EVERY ANIMAL

THAT GOD HAS MADE AND OUR

HUMAN BODIES -- PSALM 19:

"THE HEAVENS ARE TELLING

THE GLORY OF GOD."

Wendy: HAVE YOU EVER

LOOKED AT A NIGHT SKY AND

CRIED?

I HAVE.

IT IS SO OVERWHELMING

SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE IN A

PLACE WHERE YOU CAN

ACTUALLY SEE THE STARS.

AND YOU HAVE A DEVOTION IN

HERE ABOUT STARS.

AND WHAT CAN THE STARS

TEACH US ABOUT GOD?

I KNOW FOR ME I JUST GET

OVERWHELMED WITH THE

BEAUTY.

WELL, THEY TEACH US

THAT HE IS BIG.

WE SANG A LITTLE SONG WHEN

WE WERE YOUNGER, "TWINKLE,

TWINKLE, LITTLE STAR" --

WE'LL, THEY'RE NOT THAT

LITTLE.

AND HERE IS THE EARTH, AND

THAT MEANS THE SUN IS

15 FEET IN DIAMETER, AND A

MILLION EARTHS WHAT FIT

INSIDE THE SUN.

AND THAT'S JUST ONE OF THE

ORDINARY STARS IN THE

MILKY WAY GALAXY, WHICH

HAS 200 BILLION STARS.

THERE ARE STARS THAT WOULD

BE AS HIGH AS EIGHT EMPIRE

STATE BUILDINGS ON TOP OF

EACH OTHER.

AND THERE IS THE EARTH

DOWN THERE, THE GOLF BALL.

I DID A MESSAGE AROUND

THAT CALLED "HOW GREAT IS

OUR GOD."

SOME YEARS AGO IN NEW

YORK, THE FAMILIES WOULD

COME ON VACATION, AND THE

KIDS WERE BRING A GOLF

BALL AND SET IT AT THE

BASE OF THE EMPIRE STATE

BUILDING, AND LOOK UP AND

LOOK AT ANOTHER ONE AND

ANOTHER ONE.

AND THE PSALMIST SAYS HE

BREATHS OUT THESE STARS.

SO HOW GREAT MUST GOD BE

THAT HE BREATHS OUT THESE

FIERY INFERNOS FOR HIS

STORY.

THE SCRIPTURE SAYS IN

ISAIAH, HE CALLS EVERY

SINGLE ONE OF THEM BY

NAME.

HUNDREDS OF BILLIONS OF

GALAXIES, HUNDREDS OF

BILLIONS OF STARS.

HE KNOWS EVERY NAME.

THAT MUST MEAN HE KNOWS

YOUR NAME AND HE KNOWS

MINE.

Wendy: THAT'S ONE OF

MY FAVORITE SCRIPTURES.

BECAUSE IT DOES REMIND YOU

HE MUST KNOW OUR NAME,

TOO.

HOW DO YOU HANDLE TOPICS

OF SCIENCE OF COURSE

CREATION.

WE'RE RESPECTING

SCIENCE.

I HAVE FRIENDS WHO ARE

ASTRONAUTS.

I HAVE A FRIEND WHO JUST

CAME BACK FROM THE

INTERNATIONAL SPACE

STATION.

THIS GUY IS VERY BRIGHT

AND VERY SMART.

Wendy: HE WAS

FLOATING FOR SIX MONTHS.

HE WAS LIVING IN SPACE,

ORBITING THE EARTH AT

17,000 MILES PER HOUR FOR

SIX MONTHS.

THE MOST AMAZING THING WAS

IS THAT HE WOULD CALL ME.

AND THAT'S NOT THE SUBJECT

OF THIS BOOK, BUT HE WOULD

CALL ME AND IT WOULD SAY,

SHANE IN SPACE.

AND HE WOULD LIKE, HELLO,

LOUIE.

SHANE IS A SCIENTIST, HE

IS AN ASTRONAUT, AND HE IS

VERY BRIGHT.

HE TELLS ME THAT A LIGHT

YEAR IS THIS LONG AND A

GALAXY IS THIS MANY LIGHT

YEARS AWAY.

A STAR MAY BE 13 BILLION

LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

I'M NOT GOING TO GET INTO

A CREATION-EVOLUTION

DEBATE.

THIS IS SCIENCE AND HOW

THEY MEASURE THE WORLD.

BUT I BELIEVE GOD CREATED

THE WORLD.

HE CREATED IT IN SIX DAYS.

HE MADE EVERYTHING THAT

EXISTS FOR HIS GLORY.

AND I'M NOT SMART ENOUGH

TO SOLVE ALL OF THE

INTRICACIES OF THAT.

I JUST WANT TO LIVE IN THE

MIDDLE OF IT AND NOT FEAR

SCIENCE.

BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE

DAY, GOD IS THE GREATEST

SCIENTIST.

AND IT WILL ALL END UP

BEING HIS STORY.

Wendy: AND THAT'S WHY

YOU CALLED IT

"INDESCRIBABLE," BUT YOU

DID IT IN THE PERFECT WAY.

YOU NEED TO GET THIS,

"INDESCRIBABLE: 100

DEVOTIONS ABOUT GOD AND

SCIENCE," AND IT IS

AVAILABLE NATIONWIDE.

AND I'M GOING TO REMEMBER

THAT ABOUT THE BU BUTTERFLIES

WALKING ON MY TOES --

THEY'RE SMELLING MY TOES.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

THANK YOU.

Wendy: AND WE'LL BE

BACK WITH MORE OF "THE 700

CLUB" RIGHT AFTER THIS.

THIS.

Terry: LESLIE HENSLEY

IS AN ABUSE SURVIVOR, AND

SHE TURNED TO DRUGS AND

ALCOHOL TO MASK HER PAIN.

NOW SHE IS SET FREE, AND

SHE IS HELPING OTHERS DO

THE SAME.

PROSTITUTE, DRUG

ADDICT, HOPELESS.

A FEW OF MANY WORDS THAT

DESCRIBE HOW LESLIE HENLEY

SAW HERSELF.

NO GOOD.

PIECE OF CRAP.

TRASH.

Reporter: THIS COMING

FROM THE LITTLE GIRL OF

DREAMED OF BARREL RACING

AND WHITE PICKET FENCES.

THE SAME GIRL WHO AT EIGHT

YEARS OLD WAS SEXUALLY

ABUSED BY SOMEONE SHE

TRUSTED.

I REMEMBER BATHING IN

THE TUB AFTER IT OCCURRED.

AND I COULD NOT SCRUB MY

LITTLE BODY ENOUGH.

SOMETHING IS WRONG WITH

ME.

I AM NOW DIRTY.

Reporter: AFRAID TO

TELLING ANYONE, SHE

ENDURED THE ABUSE FOR FIVE

YEARS, BELIEVING SOMEHOW

THAT SHE WAS TO BLAME.

I MEAN, JUST GUILT.

IT HAS GOT TO BE MY FAULT.

Reporter: BY HER

EARLY TEENS, LISA HAD

LEARNED HOW TO AVOID HER

ABUSER.

AND SHE ALSO FOUND THAT

DRUGS, ALCOHOL, AND SEX

MASKED SHAME AND GUILT.

HOWEVER, IT GREW WORSE

WHEN SHE GOT PREGNANT AND

HAD AN ABORTION AT 15

YEARS OLD.

THAT IS WHEN THE VOICES

REALLY STARTED.

YOU'RE NOTHING.

YOU'RE A PIECE OF TRASH.

LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE.

Reporter: WHEN SHE

GOT PREGNANT AGAIN AT 17,

THIS TIME SHE KEPT THE

BABY AND NAMED HIM JOSHUA.

I NEEDED SOMEBODY TO

LOVE ME.

AND I THOUGHT I COULD DO

IT.

IT IS GOING TO BE ME AND

YOU.

AND HE IS GOING TO LOVE

ME.

Reporter: AFTER HIGH

SCHOOL, LISA MOVED OUT AND

GOT A JOB, DOING HER BEST

TO RAISE HER SON.

SHE OFTEN DROPPED JOSHUA

OFF AT HER MOM'S SO SHE

COULD GET HIGH AND PARTY.

ONCE, WHILE SHE WAS OUT TO

SCORE SOME DRUGS, LISA

REALIZED HER 5-YEAR-OLD

SON, ASLEEP IN THE BACK

SEAT, DESERVED BETTER.

I JUST LOOKED BACK, AND

HE WAS SO SOUND ASLEEP.

AND I LOOKED AHEAD AND

WHERE I WAS AT, AND I JUST

SAID, WHAT AM I DOING?

WHAT AM I DOING?

Reporter: SO SHE

DROVE TO HER MOTHER'S AND

TOLD HER ABOUT HER DRUG

ADDICTION.

I GAVE HIM TO HER, AND

I GOT IN MY CAR THAT

NIGHT.

I KNEW, BUT PART OF ME

HOPED THAT IT WAS JUST FOR

A MOMENT.

BUT THERE WAS A PART OF ME

THAT KNEW THAT I HAD LEFT

HIM FOR GOOD.

Reporter: THAT

STARTED LISA ON A DOWNWARD

SLIDE THROUGH

PROSTITUTION,

HOMELESSNESS, AND DRUG

ADDICTION.

I JUST REMEMBER

THINKING THAT I HAD DONE

NOTHING BUT BEEN A REAL

GOOD DRUG ADDICT, AND THAT

NOBODY CARES.

I DON'T CARE, SO WHY

SHOULD THEY CARE.

Reporter: LISA DID

SEE GLIMPSES OF HOPE.

THEY CAME THROUGH A

CHRISTIAN WOMAN SHE MET ON

ONE OF HER MANY DAYS IN

JAIL.

SHE STARTED SHARING

WITH ME THE LOVE OF GOD.

WE ESTABLISHED A

FRIENDSHIP EVERY TIME SHE

CAME TO THAT PRISON, WHILE

I WAS THERE.

SHE ALWAYS CAME AND FOUND

ME.

SHE HAD NO JUDGMENT.

SHE WAS, LIKE, OKAY, WHAT

HAPPENED THIS TIME?

GOD STILL LOVES YOU.

Reporter: STILL

HOLDING ON TO THAT HOPE,

SHE LEFT PROSTITUTION BUT

COULDN'T STAY OFF DRUGS.

I LIVED TO GET HIGH AND

GOT HIGH TO LIVE.

I COULDN'T COME DOWN.

TO COME DOWN WAS TO SEE

THIS MONSTER THAT I WAS.

THERE WAS NOTHING.

MY LIFE WAS DRUGS.

AND I AM NO GOOD.

Reporter: IN 2006,

LISA WAS WORKING IN A

GROCERY STORE DELI WHEN I

WOMAN INSISTED ON TALKING

TO HER.

SHE SAID, GOD HAS NOT

LET ME REST UNTIL I'VE

COME BACK UP HERE TO TALK

TO YOU.

ARE YOU OKAY?

AND I JUST REMEMBER

THINKING, IT WAS LIKE THE

BIGGEST SIGH.

AND I JUST REMEMBER GOING,

MA'AM, I SAID, I HAVEN'T

BEEN OKAY IN A VERY, VERY

LONG TIME.

Reporter: THE WOMAN

ENCOURAGED HER AND INVITED

LISA TO AN ADDICTION

RECOVERY PROGRAM CALLED

"THE POTTER'S HOUSE," IN

JACKSON, GEORGIA.

A FEW DAYS LATER, LISA

SHOWED UP AND BEGAN

TALKING TO THE FOUNDER,

MISS SHERRY.

LISA REALIZED HER ONLY

HOPE WAS GOD.

I LAID OUT IN THE

MIDDLE OF THAT FLOOR, AND

I BAWLED LIKE A BABY.

AND MISS SHERRY WAS BY MY

SIDE ON HER KNEES.

AND I ASKED HIM TO PLEASE

FORGIVE MY SINS.

PLEASE COME INTO MY LIFE

AND DO SOMETHING WITH ME.

Reporter: STILL

STRUGGLING WITH THE GUILT

OF THE SEXUAL ABUSE, LISA

GOT ON HER KNEES AND

PRAYED.

I SAID, I CAN HAVE A

RELATIONSHIP WITH YOU GOD.

AND HE SAID, LOOK UP THE

WORD INTIMACY.

AND IT SAID, A PERSONAL

RELATIONSHIP, KNOWING A

PERSON BETTER THAN THEY

KNOW THEIR OWN SELVES.

AND I REMEMBER THINKING,

WOW, THE GUILT WAS PULLED

OFF.

I WAS A CHILD.

SO MANY THINGS WERE PULLED

OFF THAT NIGHT.

YEAH, IT WAS BIG.

IT WAS BIG.

Reporter: LISA WAS

ALSO SET FREE FROM YEARS

OF DRUG ADDICTION.

TODAY HER RELATIONSHIP

WITH HER SON IS RESTORED

AND SHE IS A GRANDMOTHER.

SHE IS ALSO THE DIRECTOR

OF "CAITLIN'S PROMISE,"

BRINGING HOPE AND THE LOVE

OF CHRIST TO WOMEN CAUGHT

IN ADDICTION.

I SEE MYSELF AS A

MIRACLE.

I SEE MYSELF AS A WOMAN

WHO IS A LADY, CLEAN AND

WHOLE.

I'M A WOMAN OF GOD.

I LOVE THE LORD.

THERE IS SO MUCH.

HOW HE CAN MOVE A HEART.

Terry: YOU KNOW, MOST

PEOPLE IN THE UNITED

STATES OF AMERICA HAVE AT

LEAST HEARD THE NAME OF

JESUS.

I MEAN, YOU KNOW, MANY OF

US KNOW HE CLAIMED TO BE

THE SON OF GOD.

BUT MOST DON'T ACTUALLY

KNOW WHAT DOES THAT MEAN

TO ME?

I'LL TELL YOU WHAT JESUS

SAID.

HE SAID THE REASON THAT HE

CAME WAS TO SET THE

CAPTIVE FREE.

WHAT ARE YOU CAPTIVE TO?

WE'RE ALL CAPTIVE TO

SOMETHING UNTIL WE GET SET

FREE.

YOU KNOW IT MIGHT BE

LOOKING DOWN ON YOURSELF

BECAUSE YOU'VE BEEN

ABUSED.

IT MIGHT BE THE HURT AND

THE BITTERNESS BECAUSE

SOMEONE HAS ABANDONED YOU,

NOT MEASURED UP, HURT YOU.

IT MIGHT BE A DRUG

SCENARIO, JUST LIKE SHE

TALKED ABOUT.

MAYBE ALCOHOL.

IT COULD BE RELATIONSHIP

ISSUES IN YOUR LIFE.

IT COULD BE AN ADDICTION

TO PORN.

I MEAN, THERE ARE SO MANY

THINGS THAT SEEK TO

DESTROY WHO WE ARE.

THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS THAT

WE ARE CREATED IN THE

IMAGE AND LIKENESS OF GOD,

AND THAT HE LOVED US SO

MUCH THAT HE DIDN'T WANT

TO BE WITHOUT US, SO HE

SENT JESUS.

JESUS PAID THE PRICE FOR

YOUR SIN AND FOR MINE.

I COULDN'T PAY MINE, AND

YOU CAN'T PAY YOURS.

BUT HE DOES WANT TO TAKE

YOU INTO HIS HEART.

HE WANTS TO FORGIVE YOUR

SIN.

HE WANTS TO GIVE YOU HIS

NAME.

HE WANTS TO ADOPT YOU AND

CALL YOU HIS OWN.

HE WANTS TO SET YOU FREE

TODAY FROM WHATEVER IS

MARRING THAT IMAGE OF HIM

IN YOU.

IF YOU'D LIKE TO PRAY WITH

SOMEONE ABOUT HOW YOU CAN

HAVE THE SAME FREEDOM, THE

SAME SALVATION, THE SAME

BLESSING OF ETERNITY THAT

LISA FOUND, CALL OUR

TOLL-FREE NUMBER:

1-800-700-7000.

HERE IS A WORD FOR YOU

FROM MATTHEW: "COME TO ME,

ALL WHO ARE WEARY AND

HEAVY LADEN, AND I WILL

GIVE YOU REST."
