Announcer: THE

FOLLOWING PROGRAM IS

SPONSORED BY CBN.

Wendy: COMING

Wendy: COMING

UP...BEHIND THE SCENES ON

CAPITOL HILL.

WE WILL NOT HAVE THAT

KIND OF PROTOCOL.

Wendy: A FORMER

CONGRESSMAN LOOKS BACK AT

HIS TIME INSIDE THE MARBLE

PALACE.

> THEN...A WORKOHOLIC

AND AN ALCOHOLIC.

AND HE WAS DRINKING

HIMSELF INTO AN EARLY

GRAVE.

THINGS WERE GETTING TO

A BREAKING POINT.

Wendy: SEE WHAT SAVED

HIS LIFE ON TODAY'S "700

CLUB."

*

Pat: WELL, WELCOME,

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO

THIS EDITION OF "THE 700

CLUB."

MY ESTIMATE IS WE HAVE

ABOUT TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE

FIREWORKS START IN

WASHINGTON.

ABOUT TWO WEEKS, MAYBE

THREE WEEKS.

THE LEGAL TEAM OF THE

PRESIDENT IS GOING TO

RESIST MUELLER'S ATTEMPTS

TO SUBPOENA THE PRESIDENT,

TO INTERVIEW THE

PRESIDENT, TO BRING THE

PRESIDENT BEFORE A GRAND

JURY, AND ON AND ON AND

ON.

IT'S OVERDUE, BUT THERE

ARE SKILLED LAWYERS NOW ON

EITHER SIDE, AND MUELLER

HAS GONE WAY, WAY BEYOND

THE MANDATE THAT WAS GIVEN

HIM THAT HAD TO DO WITH

RUSSIAN INVOLVEMENT IN AN

ELECTION.

HE'S INTERVIEWING ALL

KINDS OF PEOPLE ABOUT

THINGS THAT WERE NOT

RELEVANT TO IT, PAYMENTS

TO STORMY DANIELS, AND

STUFF LIKE THAT.

NOT RELEVANT.

AND WE UNDERSTAND THAT

OTHER MEMBERS OF THE TEAM

ARE BEING ADDED TO THE

LEGAL TEAM THAT THE

PRESIDENT HAS AVAILABLE TO

HIM.

AND RUDY GIULANI -- IT

LOOKS LIKE HE IS TAKING

THE LEAD NOW, AWAY FROM

JAY SEKULOW, WHO WAS

RUNNING THINGS, ALMOST BY

HIMSELF.

ANYHOW, MEMBERS OF THE

PRESIDENT'S LEGAL TEAM,

RUDY GIULANI, SAID THE

PRESIDENT MIGHT TALK TO

MUELLER, BUT NO WAY.

THERE IS NO WAY.

IF YOU LOOKED AT SOME OF

THE QUESTIONS THAT WERE

LEAKED TO THE "NEW YORK

TIMES," THE WHOLE THING IS

A TRAP.

AND MUELLER IS TRYING TO

TRAP THE PRESIDENT INTO

SAYING SOMETHING THAT IS

INCONSISTENT WITH

SOMETHING HE MAY HAVE SAID

TWO OR THREE YEARS AGO.

AND ON THE STRENGTH OF

THAT TO SAY, YOU HAD AN

INTENT TO DO THIS, THAT,

AND THE OTHER.

I WANT TO SAY FLAT OUT, A

PRESIDENT CANNOT OBSTRUCT

JUSTICE WHEN HE TALKS TO

MEMBERS OF HIS

SUBORDINATES, AND THE

ATTORNEY GENERAL REPORTS

TO THE PRESIDENT, AND SO

DO THE ROSENSTEINS OF THIS

WORLD AND THE OTHERS.

THEY'RE ALL PART OF THE

EXECUTIVE TEAM, AND THE

PRESIDENT DOES NOT

OBSTRUCT JUSTICE WHEN HE

TALKS TO THEM ABOUT CASES,

NOR DOES HE OBSTRUCT

JUSTICE IF HE PARDON'S

SOMEONE.

THE CONSTITUTION GIVES THE

PRESIDENT BROAD AUTHORITY,

AND THE IDEA OF LIMITING

IT BY THESE SPECIAL

PROSECUTORS IS JUST

INSANE.

SO WE CAN'T HAVE THAT.

WELL, TERRY, WHAT DO YOU

HAVE?

Terry: GIULIANI SAYS

THAT THE PRESIDENT MIGHT

BE INVESTIGATED -- OR

SPEAK TO NUL LER I MUELLER IN ALL OF

THIS, BUT HE WANTS TO LAY

OUT SOME GROUND RULES.

HEATHER SELLS HAS MORE.

Heather: SPECIAL

COUNSEL ROBERT MUELLER IS

WARNING THE PRESIDENT HE

COULD COMPEL HIM TO

TESTIFY BEFORE A GRAND

JURY.

BUT ONE OF THE PRESIDENT'S

LAWYERS, RUDY GIULANI,

SAYS NO, MUELLER'S WORK

HAS NOT BEEN OBJECTIVE AND

HE DOES NOT HAVE THE POWER

TO SUBPOENA.

I THINK THEY HAVE LOST

THAT POWER.

THIS IS A COMPLETELY

TAINTED INVESTIGATION.

Heather: HE TOLD

BLOOMBERG THE TRUMP TEAM

WOULD BE INCLINED TO DO AN

INTERVIEW IF THEY THOUGHT

IT WOULD BE FAIR AND

LIMITED IN SCOPE.

THE INTERVIEW COULD GO

INTO TRUMP'S FIRING OF

JAMES COMEY.

GIULIANI SAID IF THE

MUELLER TEAM BELIEVES

COMEY IS TELLING THE

TRUTH, AN INTERVIEW WOULD

BE LIKE GOING INTO A

LION'S DEN.

AND HE SAYS THE IDEA THAT

COMEY IS TELLING THE TRUTH

IS A JOKE, BECAUSE IN

GIULIANI'S WORDS, COMEY

HASN'T TOLD THE TRUTH IN

YEARS.

AS TO ISSUING A SUBPOENA

TO THE PRESIDENT, THE

SUPREME COURT HAS NOT

RULED ON THAT ISSUE.

AND TRUMP HAS JUST HIRED

EMMETT FLOOD.

HE REPRESENTED BILL

CLINTON DURING HIS

IMPEACHMENT PROCESS, AND

HAS DEFENDED DIKE CHENEY.

DICK CHENEY.

AND HE MAKE TAKE A MORE

ADVERSARIAL APPROACH TO

MUELLER.

THE PRESIDENT IS ALREADY

DOING THAT, TWEETING ON

WEDNESDAY: "THERE WAS NO

COLLUSION AND THERE IS NO

OBSTRUCTION OF JUSTICE."

MEANWHILE, A BIG CHANGE IN

THE STORY ABOUT THE

PRESIDENT AND PORN STAR

STORMY DANIELS.

GIULIANI SAYS THE

PRESIDENT REPAID HIS

FORMER LAWYER, MICHAEL

COHEN, FOR A $130,000

PAYMENT TO DANIELS.

HE DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT

THE SPECIFICS OF IT, AS

FAR AS I KNOW, BUT HE DID

KNOW ABOUT THE GENERAL

ARRANGEMENT.

Heather: IT IS

SOMETHING THE PRESIDENT

HAS DENIED.

THIS MORNING THE PRESIDENT

TWEETED THAT THE PAYMENT

CAME FROM A MONTHLY

RETAINER, AND THAT

CAMPAIGN MONEY WAS NOT

USED.

HE SAID IT WAS INTENDED TO

STOP DANIELS FROM THE

FALSE ACCUSATIONS MADE BY

HER ABOUT AN AFFAIR.

THE BIGGER CONCERN FOR THE

PRESIDENT RIGHT NOW: A

MUELLER INVESTIGATION THAT

HAS LASTEDED CLOSE T LASTED CLOSE TO A YEA R

WITH NO END IN SIGHT.

MICHAEL CAPUTO TOLD ABC

NEWS HE HE BELIEVES DEMOCRATS

ARE TRYING TO DRAW THE

INVESTIGATION OUT, AND

HOPE TO DESTROY THE

PRESIDENT, HIS FAMILY, AND

HIS BUSINESSES.

HEATHER SELLS, CBN NEWS.

Pat: NO QUESTION THAT

THE DEEP STATE IS TRYING

TO TAKE THE PRESIDENT OUT

OF OFFICE.

THAT'S WHAT IT IS ALL

ABOUT.

THIS ROSENSTEIN, I WOULD

HAVE FIRED HIM ON DAY ONE,

OR THE WEEK AFTER OR THE

WEEK AFTER.

HE IS STONEWALLING

CONGRESS NOW.

AND CONGRESS SAYS, WELL,

LOOK, WE'VE GOT A

LEGITIMATE NEED AS AN

INVESTIGATIVE BODY.

YOU ASKED US TO PUT UP THE

MONEY.

WE HAVE TO INVESTIGATE

WHAT IS BEING DONE WITH

OUR MONEY.

AND THEY HAVE AN ABSOLUTE

RIGHT TO DO IT.

AND ROSENSTEIN WILL NOT

GIVE THE MONEY.

HE CLAIMS THE JUSTICE

DEPARTMENT IS SOMEHOW

SACRISANC, AND THAT'S

NONSENSE.

THE FACT THAT HE APPOINTED

A SPECIAL COUNSEL, HE

WOULD HAVE KNOWN THIS

WOULD BE CRIPPLING THE

PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED

STATES FOR YEARS.

AND HE DID THAT

DELIBERATELY.

AND, OF COURSE, WHEN THE

ATTORNEY-GENERAL RECUSED

HIMSELF FROM ALL OF THESE

HEARINGS, HE LEFT THE

PRESIDENT NAKED, WITHOUT

THE HELP THAT HE NEEDS,

AND TURNED EVERYTHING OVER

TO ROSENSTEIN.

THE WHOLE THING IS

OUTRAGEOUS.

AND IT IS SHOWN CLEARLY

FROM E-MAILS THAT THE

F.B.I. -- KEY FIGURES IN

THE F.B.I. WERE PLOTTING

WAYS TO KEEP PRESIDENT --

AT LEAST THE CANDIDATE

TRUMP FROM WINNING.

AND TO THINK THAT COMEY

TELLS THE TRUTH IS LUDE

RIS.

LUDICROUS.

HES HAS LIED REPEATEDLY.

WE'RE DEALING WITH A

FLAWED AGENCY THAT NEEDS

TO BE BROUGHT UNDER

CONTROL.

AND I HOPE THAT SOME OF

THESE CONGRESSMEN WILL DO

WHAT THEY HAVE TO DO.

AND THERE WAS SOME REPORT,

WELL, WE WON'T HAVE

ANOTHER SPECIAL COUNSEL

INVESTIGATING THE JUSTICE

DEPARTMENT, BUT SOMETHING

NEEDS TO BE DONE TO BRING

THEM TO HEEL, AND THERE IS

SOME THOUGHT THAT

ROSENSTEIN WOULD BE

IMPEACHED BY CONGRESS.

ANYHOW, IT'S A MESS.

BUT IT'S CAUSED BY WHAT IS

KNOWN AS THE DEEP STATE,

THESE CAREER POLITICIANS

WHO DO NOT LIKE DONALD

TRUMP AND WANT TO KEEP HIM

FROM POWER.

AND THEY WANT TO GET HIM

OUT.

WELL, THERE IS NO WAY IT'S

GOING TO HAPPEN.

IN ANY EVENT, IN OTHER

NEWS, TODAY IS A DAY OUR

COUNTRY SORELY NEEDS: THE

"NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER."

Efrem: PAT, MILLIONS

WILL RECOGNIZE THIS YEAR'S

"NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER"

ACROSS THE COUNTRY,

BUILDING UP TO THE MAIN

EVENT TAKING PLACE TONIGHT

INSIDE THE U.S. CAPITOL.

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON BRINGS

US MORE ON THE LEADERS

GATHERED FOR THIS

DECADES-OLD TRADITION.

Reporter: THIS YEAR

MARKS THE 67th

OBSERVANCE OF THE

"NATIONAL DAY OF PRAYER."

AND THE THEME IS "UNITY IN

AMERICA," WHICH PASTOR

RONNIE FLOYD SAYS COULD

NOT BE MORE SITTING FOR

THIS PARTICULAR MOMENT IN

HISTORY.

WE LIVE IN A TIME THAT

IS SO DIVIDED.

POLARIZATION IS REALLY AT

AN ALL-TIME HIGH.

AND AS FOLLOWERS OF

CHRIST, I MEAN -- IF WE'RE

JESUS' FOLLOWERS, WE NEED

TO LEAD THE WAY IN DOING

EVERYTHING WE CAN OF

WALKING IN UNITY TOGETHER.

Reporter: FLOYD

MAINTAINS POLITICS WILL

NOT HEAL US, AND

GOVERNMENT WILL NOT FIX

US.

AND THAT ONLY A MASSIVE

PRAYER MOVEMENT CAN BRING

HEALING TO OUR LAND.

WE'RE CALLING ALL OF

AMERICA TO PRAY FOR

AMERICA.

Reporter: FLOYD WILL

LEAD THE PRAYERS FOR UNITY

TONIGHT INSIDE THE

CAPITOL, ALONGSIDE LEADERS

LIKE PRISCILLA SHIRE,

CONGRESSMAN MARK WALKER,

AND DOCTOR JAMES DOBSON.

IF EVER THERE WAS A

TIME WHEN THIS NATION

NEEDED PRAYER, IT IS NOW.

Reporter: FRANK AND

SHERRY WILL BE SPECIAL

GUESTS AT THE EVENT.

THEY WILL TALK ABOUT THE

POWER OF PRAYER AFTER A

SHOOTER WALKED INTO THEIR

CHURCH LAST NOVEMBER,

KILLING 26 PEOPLE,

INCLUDING THEIR

14-YEAR-OLD DAUGHTER.

PASTOR FRANK IS GOING

TO LEAD US IN PRAYER FOR

THE CHURCHES AND THE

SCHOOLS AND THE PUBLIC

SETTINGS ALL ACROSS

AMERICA, THAT GOD WOULD

PUT A SHIELD OF PROTECTION

AROUND US.

IT WILL BE A POWERFUL,

POWERFUL MOMENT.

Reporter: AND

PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL AGAIN

HOST FAITH LEADERS IN THE

ROSE GARDEN TO RECOGNIZE

THE DAY'S SIGNIFICANCE.

I THINK HE IS SERIOUS

ABOUT IT.

SOME PEOPLE WILL SAY IT IS

A POLITICAL PLOY OF SOME

SORT.

I KNOW HIM.

AND I DON'T BELIEVE THAT.

I THINK IT IS IN HIS

HEART.

Reporter: FLOYD HOPES

THE PRESIDENT ADDS

SOMETHING EXTRA, SUCH AS

LAST YEAR'S DEDICATION TO

PROTECTING RELIGIOUS

LIBERTY IN AMERICA.

I'M SURE, KNOWING THE

PRESIDENT, THERE WILL BE

SOMETHING THAT WILL

FORWARD -- THAT WILL HELP

US TO GO FORWARD IN OUR

NATION ABOUT THOSE MATTERS

THAT MOST BELIEVERS ARE

CONCERNED ABOUT IN LIFE

TODAY.

Reporter: FLOYD SAYS

IF UNITY IS TO COME IN OUR

COUNTRY, IT MUST BEGIN

WITH CHRISTIANS CRYING OUT

TO GOD AND PROCLAIMING THE

GOSPEL OF JESUS.

REPORTING FROM WASHINGTON,

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON, CBN

NEWS.

Efrem: AND PASTOR

FLOYD IS RIGHT, THE

PRESIDENT IS ADDING

SOMETHING EXTRA.

HE WILL SIGN AN EXECUTIVE

ORDER TODAY TO CREATE A

NEW WHITE HOUSE

FAITH-BASED INITIATIVE.

IT WILL WORK TO PROTECT

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND TO

HELP FAITH-BASED GROUPS

WORK WITH THE FEDERAL

GOVERNMENT.

AND WE HAVE THIS IMPORTANT

NOTE AS WELL: DAVID BRODY

WILL BE INTERVIEWING VICE

PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE

TODAY.

YOU CAN SEE THAT INTERVIEW

ON TOMORROW'S "700 CLUB."

> THE LEGACY OF BILLY

GRAHAM LIVES ON IN A

NUMBER OF WAYS, INCLUDING

HIS SON, FRANKLIN GRAHAM,

WHO HAS WRITTEN A NEW

BOOK, SHARING LESSONS HE

HAS LEARNED FROM HIS

FATHER.

OUR JOHN JESSUP SAT DOWN

WITH HIM TO DISCUSS HIS

BOOK, AND TO TALK ABOUT

HIS ISSUES.

John: THE WORLD

LISTENED AS HE PROCLAIMED

THE GOSPEL.

TO GOD BE THE GLORY.

> THERE WAS A DISCUSSION

NOT LONG AGO ABOUT THE

EVANGELICAL MOVEMENT, AND

WHERE THAT EVANGELICAL

MOVEMENT GOES NOW NOW THAT

BILLY GRAHAM IS GONE.

I DON'T KNOW.

I'M GOING TO KEEP

PREACHING THE GOSPEL, AND

KEEP GIVING AN INVITATION

FOR LOST PEOPLE TO PUT

THEIR FAITH AND TRUST IN

CHRIST.

John: AND NOW HE

SHARES EVEN MORE IN THE

BOOK, "THROUGH MY FATHER'S

EYES."

> YOU HEAR THE QUESTION

ASKED OFTEN: WHO IS THE

NEXT BILLY GRAHAM?

MY FATHER ANSWERED THAT

QUESTION.

HE SAID, I'VE BEEN ASKED

WHO IS THE NEXT BILLY

GRAHAM.

AND THERE ARE ABOUT 8,000

EVANGELISTS OUT THERE.

AND MY FATHER LOOKED AT

THEM AND PUT HIS HANDS OUT

AND SAID, "YOU ARE THE

NEXT BILLY GRAHAM."

I GUESS THE QUESTION FOR

SOME PEOPLE IS: WHO IS

THE NEXT CELEBRITY

EVANGELIST?

I HAVE NO CLUE.

AND MY FATHER NEVER WANTED

TO BE A CELEBRITY.

John: FRANKLIN WANTS

OTHERS TO FOLLOW HIS

SINGULAR FOCUS OF WINNING

SOULS FOR CHRIST.

HE LEADS BY EXAMPLE

THROUGH THE BILLY GRAHAM

FOUNDATION, AND HIS AID

GROUP, "SAMARITAN'S

PURSE."

AND HE ALSO SEES THE NEED

FOR CONFRONTATION,

ESPECIALLY IN WHAT HE

CALLS TODAY'S

ANTI-CHRISTIAN CULTURE,

THAT RANGES FROM G.Q.

MAGAZINE MOCKING THE BIBLE

TO COMEDIANS' CRASS JOKES

AT THE WHITE HOUSE DINNER.

I WANT CHRISTIANS NOT

TO BE SEDUCED BY THIS

CULTURE IN WHICH WE'RE

LIVING, AND NOT TO BE LED

ASTRAY.

I THINK THERE NEEDS TO BE

A VOICE THAT SPEAKS OUT

BECAUSE THERE ARE NOT MANY

PEOPLE THAT SPEAK OUT.

John: FROM THE

DYSFUNCTION, TO THE

DIVISION ACROSS AMERICA,

AND EVEN IN THE CHURCH, HE

SEES ONLY ONE KEY TO

TURNING THINGS AROUND.

WE HAVE TO PRAY.

PRAYER CAN CHANGE THINGS.

PRAYER CAN MOVE MOUNTAINS.

John: PRAYER, HE

SAYS, BECAME HIS FATHER'S

MAIN MINISTRY IN HIS FINAL

YEARS, SOMETHING HE NOW

SAYS IS MISSING.

AND NOW THAT MY FATHER

IS GONE, I FEEL LIKE THERE

IS AN EXPOSURE.

I DON'T HAVE -- IT'S NOT A

MENTAL, BUT IT IS LIKE AN

ARMOR.

A LITTLE BIT OF ARMOR IS

MISSING.

SO IT MAKES ME HAVE TO

PRAY EVEN HARDER.

THE PRAYER BURDEN HAS

SHIFTED TO ME, WHEN IT

RELATES TO MY FAMILY.

AND I THINK MY FATHER, FOR

THE LAST 10 YEARS, HE WAS

THE PRAYER WARRIOR IN THE

FAMILY.

John: SIMPLE, YET

POWERFUL, PRAYERS FROM A

FATHER THAT CHANGED A

FAMILY AND CHANGED A

WORLD.

JOHN JESSUP, CBN NEWS, NEW

YORK.

Efrem: PRAYERS OF

MINISTRY THAT EVERY

BELIEVER CAN HAVE.

Pat: THIS PROGRAM

YOU'RE WATCHING WAS CALLED

THE PROGRAM OF PRAYER AND

PRAISE.

CBN HAS BEEN BUILT ON

PRAYER.

WE HAVE HAD PRAYER

MEETINGS, PRAYER SUMMITS,

PRAYER TIMES.

WE'VE BEEN PRAYING FOR THE

NATION AND THE NATIONS OF

THE WORLD FOR DECADES.

AND THERE IS NO OTHER WAY

TO WIN EXCEPT BY ASKING

GOD'S ANOINTING AND HIS

FAVOR.

TERRY?

Terry: UP NEXT, AN

INSIDER'S LOOK AT CAPITOL

HILL FROM A CONGRESSMAN

WHO SERVED THERE 34 YEARS.

A CONGRESSMAN PREEMPTS

A FOUR-STAR GENERAL.

THAT OPPORTUNITY IS

EXTREMELY UNIQUE.

AND NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE

ON THE OUTSIDE WORLD, YOU

WILL NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF

PROTOCOL.

Terry: CLIFF STEARNS,

THE FORMER CONGRESSMAN

FROM FLORIDA, TAKES US

INSIDE THE MARBLE PALACE,

AFTER THIS.

Pat: WELL, FOR 24

YEARS, CLIFF STEARNS

SERVED IN CONGRESS.

NOW HE WANTS TO GIVE

AMERICANS AN INSIDE LOOK

AT WHAT CAPITOL HILL HAS

BECOME, AND WHAT NEEDS TO

BE DONE TO PRESERVE OUR

DEMOCRACY.

ABIGAIL ROBERTSON SAT DOWN

WITH STEARNS TO TALK ABOUT

HIS CAREER, HIS FAITH, AND

THE PROBLEMS THAT FACE OUR

COUNTRY.

Reporter:

IRRESPONSIBLE SPENDING,

OUTRAGEOUS CAMPAIGN

BUDGETS, AND AN ALMOST

COMPLETE LOSS OF

BIPARTISAN, FORMER

CONGRESSMAN CLIFF STEARNS

WARNS THOSE ARE JUST A FEW

THINGS THREATENING OUR

GREAT REPUBLIC.

IN GEORGIA, THE SEAT TO

REPLACE TOM PRICE COST

$40 MILLION.

THE SALARY IS $174,000 A

YEAR.

Reporter: IN HIS NEW

BOOK, "LIFE IN THE MARBLE

PALACE," STEARNS TAKES

READERS BEHIND THE SCENES

ON CAPITOL HILL DURING

NOTABLE HISTORIC MOMENTS,

AND EXPLAINS WHY A STRONG

FAITH IS SO CRITICAL FOR A

LAW MAKER.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT

BECAUSE LOTS OF TIMES

YOU'RE NOT SURE WHERE THE

RIGHTEOUS LEGISLATION IS,

OR WHETHER WHAT YOU'RE

DOING IS ACCORDING TO WHAT

YOU BELIEVE.

AND SO YOU HAVE TO SEARCH

YOURSELF PRETTY CAREFULLY.

Reporter: WHILE

STEARNS TELLS ME SOME OF

HIS VOTES WERE

REGRETTABLE, HE NEVER

VOTED AGAINST HIS FAITH.

STEARNS STAYED CLOSE TO

GOD BY ATTENDING

BIPARTISAN BIBLE STUDIES

HELD WEEKLY INSIDE THE

CAPITOL.

OFTENTIMES IT WAS

REALLY REFRESHING BECAUSE

IT BROUGHT YOU BACK TO

YOUR FAITH AND REMINDED

YOU OF THE LARGER PICTURE.

Reporter: REGULARLY

SEEKING THE LORD HELPED

ASSURE THE FLORIDA

CONGRESSMAN HE WASN'T JUST

RELYING ON HIMSELF.

WITHOUT AN

UNDERSTANDING AND A BELIEF

THAT YOU HAVE A

RESPONSIBILITY TO DO GOOD

AND TO FEAR THE LORD --

AND WITHOUT THAT FEAR, YOU

HAVE A BELIEF IN MAN

RATHER THAN A BELIEF IN

GOD.

Reporter: IN THE

BOOK, STEARNS HOPES TO

HELP CURRENT AND FUTURE

LAWMAKERS AVOID SOME OF

HIS MISTAKES.

I WOULD SAY, OBVIOUSLY,

GO BACK TO THE DISTRICT,

AND MOST IMPORTANTLY TAKE

CARE OF YOUR FAMILY.

BECAUSE THERE ARE SO MUCH

STRESS, MANY MEMBERS

FORGET THEIR FAMILY AND

DON'T SPEND TIME WITH

THEM.

LIKE EVERY OTHER MEMBER, I

WISH I HAD SPENT MORE TIME

WITH MY CHILDREN WHEN THEY

WERE GROWING UP.

Reporter: WHILE

STEARNS WEATHERED ROUGH

TIMES UNDER MULTIPLE

PRESIDENTS, HE FEELS THE

CURRENT ATMOSPHERE IS MUCH

MORE CONTROVERSIAL THAN

EVER BEFORE.

President Trump: AND

NOW YOU FINALLY HAVE A

PRESIDENT.

IT TOOK YOU A LONG TIME.

IT FEELS SORT OF LIKE

HE IS GOING TO DO WHAT HE

WANTS, AND SOMETIMES IN

CONGRESS YOU HAVE TO BUILD

LOYALTY AND WORK ACROSS

THE AISLE.

Reporter: STEARNS

DOES SEE POSITIVE

ACCOMPLISHMENTS FROM

PRESIDENT TRUMP, LIKE THE

TAX CUTS.

IN HIS BOOK, HE TALKS

ABOUT CREATING CHAOS TO

HELP IN THIS NEGOTIATION,

BUT WHEN YOU'RE TALKING

ABOUT THE MOST POWERFUL

COUNTRY IN THE WORLD,

THERE HAS TO BE A FEELING

OF CONFIDENCE, AS WELL AS

STABILITY, SO YOU KNOW

THAT YOU CAN FEEL

COMFORTABLE IN THE

ACTIVITIES OUT OF THE

WHITE HOUSE.

Reporter: THAT'S WHY

STEARNS HOPES A STAFF

TURNOVER AT THE WHITE

HOUSE DOESN'T BECOME

WORSE.

AND HE ALSO WISHES THE

MEDIA WOULD COVER THE

PRESIDENT MORE

OBJECTIVELY.

ANY NEWS STORY THAT I

GET OUT OF THE MAINSTREAM

MEDIA IS NEGATIVE ON

TRUMP.

AND THEY DO NOT IN ANY WAY

TRY TO SHOW HIS

ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND WHAT

HE IS TRYING TO DO.

Reporter: ONE PERK OF

BEING A CONGRESSMAN HE

MISSES MOST: THE OVERSEAS

TRAVEL.

A CONGRESSMAN PREEMPTS

A FOUR-STAR GENERAL.

SO IF YOU COME INTO A

COUNTRY, YOU CAN SEE THE

PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY,

YOU CAN MEET THE

AMBASSADOR.

NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE ON

THE OUTSIDE WORLD, YOU

WILL NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF

PROTOCOL.

Reporter: A KEY POINT

HE ADDRESSES IN THE BOOK

IS THE FUTURE OF OUR

COUNTRY AND CHANGES HE

FEELS MUST BE MADE.

I DON'T HAVE A SUPER

PACK.

I DON'T WANT A SUPER PACK.

Reporter: FIRST, HE

CALLS FOR MAJOR CAMPAIGN

FINANCE REFORM DUE TO,

QUOTE, "THE DEPLORABLE

AMOUNT OF MONEY SPENT ON

ELECTIONS."

THE MONEY IS TOO

INFLUENTIAL.

AND LOTS OF TIMES THAT

MONEY INFLUENCES, EITHER

SUBTLY OR INDIRECTLY, HOW

A MEMBER DECIDES ON AN

ISSUE.

Reporter: FROM HIS

STANDPOINT, FUNDRAISING

FOR THE PARTY HAS BECOME

THE MAIN QUALIFICATION FOR

LEADERSHIP POSITIONS AND

COMMITTEE CHAIRMANSHIPS,

NOT WHO DOES THE BEST JOB.

CONGRESSMAN AND WOMEN

DO TOO MUCH AMOUNT OF TIME

FUNDRAISING, GOING OVER TO

THEIR PERSPECTIVE

HEADQUARTERS AND GETTING

ON THE PHONE AND RAISING

MONEY.

Reporter: HE WANTS

MAJOR CAPS ACROSS THE

BOARD.

IF YOU LIMIT THE AMOUNT

OF MONEY AND LIMIT THE

AMOUNT OF TIME, THAT MAKES

THE WHOLE FOCUS ON THE

ISSUES AND NOT ON THE

MONEY.

Reporter: AND YOU SAY

IN YOUR INTRODUCTION, THAT

YOU SEE A LOT OF FLAWS AND

PROBLEMS THAT COULD

EVENTUALLY LEAD TO OUR

COLLAPSE.

WHAT ARE SOME OF THOSE

ISSUES?

OBVIOUSLY, THE DEBT.

THIS YEAR -- LAST YEAR WE

DID A TRILLION DOLLARS

WORTH OF DEBT UNDER THE

TRUMP ADMINISTRATION.

SO THE DEBT CAN'T GO ON

FOREVER.

WE COULD END UP LIKE

GREECE IF WE JUST CONTINUE

TO DO THAT.

Reporter: STEARNS

CONCLUDES BY POINTING OUT

HE NEVER WITNESSED ANY

ADMINISTRATION OFFER A

REAL, BALANCED BUDGET,

OVER HIS 24 YEARS IN

OFFICE.

HE CAUTIONS COLLEAGUES

THAT IF WE CONTINUE TO

GROW DEBT THAT FUTURE

GENERATIONS MUST PAY OFF,

IT COULD DESTROY OUR

COUNTRY.

REPORTING FROM CAPITOL

HILL, ABIGAIL ROBERTSON,

CBN NEWS.

Pat: WELL, THANKS,

ABIGAIL.

THAT IS QUITE AN INTERVIEW

WITH A VERY RESPECTED

FORMER CONGRESSMAN.

THE BOOK BY FORMER

CONGRESSMAN CLIFF STEARNS

IS CALLED "LIFE IN THE

MARBLE PALACE," IT SHARES

THE LESSONS LEARNED OVER

24 YEARS.

IT IS A SOBER WARNING

ABOUT THE DIRECTION OF OUR

GREAT REPUBLIC.

AND YOU CAN FIND IT NOW

WHEREVER BOOKS ARE SOLD,

AMAZON AND ALL OF THE

OTHER PLACES THAT YOU CAN

GET IT.

"LIFE IN THE MARBLE

PALACE," WHAT AN

INTERESTING TITLE.

TERRY?

Terry: FASCINATING.

> WELL, COMING UP, THE

SECRET LIFE OF A

RESTAURANT COOK.

I WAS A HIGHLY

FUNCTIONAL ALCOHOLIC.

I HAD BOTTLES STASHED ALL

OVER WORK, IN THE WALK-IN,

IN THE KITCHEN, IN DRY

STORAGE, OUTSIDE IN THE

SHED.

I HAD BOTTLES EVERYWHERE.

Terry: WATCH WHAT

HAPPENS AFTER HIS

ALCOHOLIC STARTS COUGHING

UP BLOOD.

Pat: THANK YOU FOR

BEING WITH US.

THIS IS "THE 700 CLUB"

YOU'RE WATCHING RIGHT NOW.

AND I WANT TO INTRODUCE

YOU TO BRIAN BRICE.

BRIAN WAS A WORKOHOLIC.

HE PUT IN 70 TO 90 HOURS A

WEEK AT THE RESTAURANT

WHERE HE WAS WORKING AS A

COOK.

BRIAN ALSO WAS AN

ALCOHOLIC.

HE CONSUMED AN AMAZING

HALF A GALLON OF VODKA

EVERY DAY.

AND THEN ONE DAY IT CAUGHT

UP WITH HIM AS BRIAN BEGAN

COUGHING UP BLOOD.

AND HE KNEW HIS LIFESTYLE

WAS KILLING HIM.

I FELT LIKE CHRIST

REALLY WASN'T FOR ME

BECAUSE WHEN I WAS AROUND

CHURCH AT A YOUNG AGE, IT

SEEMED LIKE, TO ME, THEY

DIDN'T WANT ME AROUND.

SO IF THEY DIDN'T WANT ME

AROUND, THEIR GOD MUST NOT

WANT ME AROUND.

Reporter: BRIAN

BRICE'S FATHER LEFT WHEN

HE WAS A SMALL BOY.

I STILL HELD A LOT OF

RESENTMENT TOWARDS MY

BIOLOGICAL FATHER.

I GUESS I FELT ABANDONED

BY HIM.

WHY WASN'T I GOOD ENOUGH

TO STICK AROUND FOR?

I JUST FELT LIKE THERE WAS

A HOLE IN MY LIFE.

THERE WAS SOMETHING

MISSING; THERE WAS

SOMETHING WRONG WITH ME.

Reporter: BRIAN'S

MOTHER RAISED HIM, AND HIS

STEPFATHER TREATED HIM

WELL, BUT BRIAN ALWAYS

FELT INSECURE.

I FELT LIKE I HAD TO BE

PERFECT TO BE LOVED, OR

MAYBE MY ADOPTED DAD

WOULDN'T STAY AROUND

EITHER.

Reporter: BEING FROM

A MIDDLE CLASS FAMILY,

BRIAN FELT LIKE HE DIDN'T

MEASURE UP.

IT WAS FOR THE WEALTHY.

IT WAS FOR THOSE WHO ARE

IN A BETTER POSITION.

BUT IT SEEMED LIKE TO ME

THAT JESUS DIDN'T REALLY

CARE ABOUT ME.

Reporter: BRIAN WAS

SMALL AND WAS OFTEN

BULLIED AT SCHOOL.

BUT AS HE GREW BIGGER, SO

DID HIS ANGER.

THE MORE THAT I GOT

BULLIED, THE HARDER I TOOK

IT OUT ON OTHERS.

AND IT JUST KIND OF FUELED

ME.

I WOULD GET INTO FIGHTS.

I ONCE BEAT A MAN'S HEAD

IN WITH A CAN OF CORN.

Reporter: EVENTUALLY

HE JOINED A GANG.

I FELT LIKE I BELONGED.

WE WERE ALL JUST OUT THERE

BROKEN TOGETHER.

AND IT WAS A PLACE WHERE

MY ANGER AND MY HATRED WAS

ALLOWED TO BE EXPRESSED.

Reporter: HE WAS

ARRESTED SEVERAL TIMES.

AND HE DID TIME IN BOTH

JUVENILE AND ADULT CREDIT

CORRECTIONAL FACILITIES.

I WAS IN AND OUT OF

JAIL FROM THE TIME I WAS

14, TAKING PILLS, USING

COCAINE, AND SMOKING

MARIJUANA AS WELL.

Reporter: BRIAN

EVENTUALLY GOT A JOB

COOKING AT A LOCAL

RESTAURANT, AND HIS GANG

ACTIVITY SLOWLY CEASED,

BUT HIS DRINKING DID NOT.

I WAS ALSO DRINKING

SHOTS AND BEERS AT THE

CLUB EVERY NIGHT.

THE HALF GALLON OF VODKA

WAS JUST A MINIMUM.

I WAS A HIGHLY FUNCTIONAL

ALCOHOLIC.

I WAS WORKING 70 TO 90

HOURS A WEEK, 12 HOURS A

DAY, IN A HOT KITCHEN.

I HAD BOTTLES STASHED ALL

OVER WORK, IN THE WALK-IN,

IN THE KITCHEN, IN DRY

STORAGE, OUTSIDE IN THE

SHED -- I HAD BOTTLES

EVERYWHERE.

Reporter: BECAUSE OF

HIS ALCOHOL ADDICTION, HE

BEGAN BLEEDING INTERNALLY

AND SUFFERING FROM

NUMEROUS HEALTH PROBLEMS.

I REALIZED THINGS WERE

GETTING TO A BREAKING

POINT.

AND SOMETHING WAS GOING TO

HAVE TO GIVE.

Reporter: IN 2014,

BRIAN SPENT SOME TIME WITH

HIS STEPFATHER AND MOTHER.

AND WHEN HE CAME HOME,

SOMETHING CHANGED.

I HAD JUST GOTTEN BACK

FROM A VACATION WITH MY

PARENTS.

I HADN'T SEEN THEM FOR

QUITE SOME TIME.

AND I REALIZED THAT I

DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ANY

MEMORIES OF THEM.

I LOOKED BACK ON MY LIFE,

AND I DIDN'T HAVE ANY

MEMORIES OF ANY OF IT.

DRUGS AND ALCOHOL HAD

TAKEN THAT.

I DIDN'T REMEMBER ANY OF

MY LIFE.

I WAS THROWING UP BLOOD

EVERY DAY.

I KNEW I DIDN'T HAVE MUCH

TIME LEFT.

I DIDN'T WANT WHAT LITTLE

TIME I HAD LEFT NOT BEING

ABLE TO MAKE A MEMORY WITH

MY PARENTS.

IT WAS THE FIRST TIME IT

REALLY CLICKED IN MY LIFE

THAT THEY'RE MORTAL, I'M

MORTAL.

Reporter: ALONE ON

HIS COUCH THAT DAY, BRIAN

PRAYED FOR THE FIRST TIME

SINCE HE WAS A CHILD.

I YELLED OUT FOR JESUS

TO COME INTO MY LIFE.

AND IN THAT MOMENT, CHRIST

ENTERED MY LIFE.

I COULD FEEL HIS MIGHTY

HAND REACH THROUGH AND

SQUEEZE THE EVIL, THE

HATRED OUT OF MY HEART.

WHEN I FINALLY RECOGNIZED

JESUS CHRIST AS MY LORD

AND SAVIOR, I FELT HIS

PRESENCE IN MY LIFE.

IT WAS LIKE BEING HIT WITH

THIS AWESOME POWER THAT I

CAN'T DESCRIBE.

I WAS ENVELOPED IN LOVE.

Reporter: THAT

MORNING BRIAN WAS

DELIVERED FROM HIS

ALCOHOLISM, AND HIS HEALTH

BEGAN TO IMPROVE.

I POURED OUT EVERY BIT

OF ALCOHOL THAT I HAD IN

THE HOUSE.

I THREW AWAY ALL THE

MARIJUANA I HAD IN THE

HOUSE.

ALL OF MY ADDICTIONS WERE

JUST GONE.

I FELT IMMEDIATELY CLEAN.

I FELT WASHED, LIKE THE

SLUDGE THAT HAS BEEN WRUNG

FROM A SPONGE.

I FELT LIKE A NEW PERSON.

AND I FELT LIKE I HAD A

NEW START.

Reporter: GOD ALSO

RELEASED HIM FROM HIS

ANGER AND HELPED HIM

FORGIVE HIS FATHER.

FORGIVENESS WAS THE

ONLY WAY THAT I COULD MOVE

FORWARD.

I COULD NO LONGER HOLD ON

TO RESENTMENT.

I COULD NO LONGER HOLD ON

TO THE HATE.

AND I DIDN'T NEED IT

ANYMORE.

I FELT FULL IN CHRIST.

Reporter: BRIAN SAYS

GOD IS CONTINUING TO HELP

HIM MATURE IN HIS FAITH.

TODAY HE IS A PASTOR AT

THE FIRST UNITED METHODIST

CHURCH IN TEXAS.

CHRIST WAS, FOR ME, THE

HAND REACHING DOWN INTO MY

ABYSS AND INTO MY

DARKNESS, MY SHAME AND MY

PAIN.

AND HE PULLED ME OUT, AND

HE HAS CALLED ME TO BE

THAT HAND, TO REACH DOWN

AND HELP OUT OTHERS WHO

ARE LOST IN THEIR

DARKNESS, WHO ARE LOST IN

ADDICTION, WHO ARE LOST IN

PAIN.

AND HE CALLED ME TO BE FOR

HIM HIS BODY, HIS HANDS

AND FEET IN THE WORLD, TO

REVEAL THE LOVE OF CHRIST.

Pat: CAN YOU IMAGINE

GOD REACHING DOWN THAT

HAND AND JUST SQUEEZING

THE EVIL OUT OF YOU?

HERE IS A MAN WHO WAS

DRINKING AN UNGODLY AMOUNT

OF LIQUOR A DAY.

HIS BODY IS BEING

DESTROYED.

HE'S CONSUMED WITH ANGER.

AND THEN GOD REACHES DOWN

AND SQUEEZES IT OUT OF

HIM.

THE LORD IS ABLE TO DO

THAT.

THAT'S WHY IT SAYS, IF ANY

MAN IS IN CHRIST, HE IS A

NEW CREATION.

OLD THINGS HAVE PASSED

AWAY; BEHOLD, ALL HAS

BECOME NEW.

YOU CAN HAVE A BRAND NEW

LIFE.

AND ALL OF THAT GARBAGE --

SURE, YOUR FATHER MAY HAVE

MISTREATED YOU.

YEAH, YOUR MOTHER MAY HAVE

ABANDONED YOU AND NOT

LOVED YOU.

MAYBE YOUR SPOUSE WAS

UNFAITHFUL TO YOU.

MAYBE YOUR CO-WORKERS

DEALT YOU ILL AND DIDN'T

GIVE YOU THE PROMOTION YOU

DESERVE.

A LOT OF THAT STUFF HAS

HAPPENED.

IT CAN CAUSE BITTERNESS

AND RESENTMENT, BUT GOD

WILL MAKE YOU A NEW

PERSON.

AND HE'LL TAKE AWAY ALL

THAT HATRED AND MISERY.

AND SUDDENLY ALL THINGS

ARE NEW.

THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE

SAYS.

BEHOLD, ALL THINGS HAVE

BECOME NEW.

IF ANYBODY IS IN CHRIST,

HE IS A NEW CREATION.

WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE

THAT?

WOULD YOU YOU LIK LIKE TO BE BRAND

NEW?

WHY DO YOU HOLD ON TO THAT

MESS?

WHY DO YOU KILL YOURSELF

WITH BOOZE?

WHY DO YOU GO OFF ON

TRIPS, SOME PSYCHEDELIC

EXPERIENCE, WHEN YOU KNOW

IT WILL KILL YOU?

WHY DO YOU THROW AWAY YOUR

OPPORTUNITY WHEN YOU COULD

BE MAKING SOMETHING OF

YOUR LIFE AND ENJOYING

LIFE?

SEEING THE BEAUTY OF THE

SUN SET AND THE SUN RISE,

AND THE BEAUTY OF THIS

WORLD -- LET'S HAVE THAT.

LET'S SEE EVERYTHING

THROUGH THE EYES OF JESUS

CHRIST.

AND IF YOU WANT THAT, ALL

I WANT YOU TO DO IS JUST

PRAY WITH ME RIGHT NOW.

I WANT TO LEAD YOU IN A

PRAYER, A VERY SIMPLE

PRAYER, AND I WANT YOU TO

PRAY WITH ME.

JUST BOW YOUR AHEAD AND

PRAY THESE WORDS.

PRAYER AFTER ME, BUT MEAN

THEM IN YOUR HEART, OKAY?

YOU WANT TO HAVE SOMETHING

REALLY GREAT?

YOU WANT AN EXPLOSION OF

BLESSING?

THAT'S THE WAY TO GET IT.

DO WHAT I TELL YOU: BOW

YOUR HEAD AND PRAY THESE

WORDS.

JESUS -- THAT'S RIGHT,

JESUS, I KNOW THAT YOU

DIED FOR ME AND THAT YOU

ROSE FROM THE DEAD.

SO LORD, RIGHT NOW I COME

TO YOU AND I CONFESS MY

SIN AND I SAY TO YOU, I

KNOW I'M A SINNER, AND I

ASK YOU TO COME INTO MY

LIFE AND MAKE ME A NEW

PERSON.

I GIVE YOU MY LIFE, AND

FROM THIS MOMENT ON I'M

YOURS, AND THANK YOU THAT

YOU'RE MINE.

I RECEIVE IT, LORD, AND I

PRAISE YOU FOR IT.

AND I TAKE THIS BLESSING.

THANK YOU, LORD, THAT

YOU'VE LET ME BE BORN

AGAIN.

THANK YOU, LORD.

NOW, IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME

JUST THEN, I WANT TO GIVE

YOU SOMETHING.

I LIKE TO GIVE THINGS TO

PEOPLE.

THIS IS FREE.

IT DOESN'T COST YOU A

THING.

IT IS A LITTLE PACKET

CALLED "A NEW DAY."

AND IT WILL TELL YOU WHAT

TO DO NEXT.

YOU'VE JUST COME TO THE

LORD.

WHAT DO YOU DO NEXT?

WHAT DO YOU READ FROM THE

BIBLE?

WHAT IF YOU SIN ALONG THE

WAY, WHAT DOES GOD DO FOR

YOU?

I'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU.

IT IS A COMPACT DISC, AND

YOU CAN PLAY IT IN A C.D.

RECORDER.

YOU CALL IN AND SAY, I

PRAYED WITH PAT, I GAVE MY

HEART TO THE LORD, AND I,

RIGHT NOW, AM A NEW

CREATURE IN CHRIST.

1-800-700-7000.

CALL IN.

THERE ARE PEOPLE ON THE

PHONE RIGHT NOW WHO LOVE

YOU.

AND I'LL GIVE YOU THIS

FREE, "A NEW DAY."

I MIGHT ADD, THE ANGELS OF

HEAVEN ARE REJOICING, THE

BIBLE SAYS, OVER ONE

SINNER WHO REPENTS.

SO ALL HEAVEN IS PRAISING

THE LORD BECAUSE OF THE

DECISION YOU'VE JUST MADE.

TERRY?

Terry: WELL, COMING

UP, THE WORLD NEEDS HEROS.

AND WE'RE NOT TALKING

ABOUT THE MARVEL AVENGERS.

LEARN HOW TO LIGHT UP YOUR

INNER HERO WHEN SPEAKER

AND AUTHOR RODNEY BULLARD

JOINS US LIVE.

THAT'S LATER ON TODAY'S

"700 CLUB."

Efrem: AND WELCOME

BACK TO "THE 700 CLUB."

THE BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA

ANNOUNCED IT IS RENAMING

ITS FLAGSHIP PROGRAM, BOY

SCOUTS WILL NOW BE SCOUTS

U.S.A.

THE GROUP SAYS THE NAME

CHANGE WAS NECESSARY

BECAUSE GIRLS WILL SOON BE

ADMITTED INTO THE

ORGANIZATION.

THE CHANGE WILL GO INTO

EFFECT IN FEBRUARY.

THERE WAS WIDESPREAD

CRITICISM OF THE NAME

CHANGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA,

WITH MANY PEOPLE SAYING IT

IS A MISGUIDED DISPLAY OF

POLITICAL CORRECTNESS.

OTHERS CALLED THAT

CRITICISM AN OVERREACTION.

> THE TWO BLACK MEN

POLICE ARRESTED AT A

PHILADELPHIA STARBUCKS

LAST MONTH HAVE SETTLED

WITH THE CITY.

THEY WILL EACH RECEIVE A

SYMBOLIC $1 PAYMENT AS A

SETTLEMENT, BUT ALSO A

PROMISE FROM CITY

OFFICIALS TO SET UP A

$200,000 FUND TO HELP

YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS.

THE MEN SEA IT I SAY IT IS AN

EFFORT TO BRING SOMETHING

POSITIVE OUT OF THAT

APRIL 12th INCIDENT.

PAT AND TERRY ARE BACK

WITH MUCH MORE OF TODAY'S

"THE 700 CLUB."

THAT'S COMING UP RIGHT

AFTER THIS.

Terry: LAST WEEKEND,

AVENGERS SMASHED BOX

OFFICE RECORDS WITH A

$640 MILLION OPENING.

PEOPLE ARE OBVIOUSLY

FASCINATED WITH SUPER

HEROS, BUT WHAT THE WORLD

REALLY NEEDS ARE EVERYDAY

HEROS.

TAKE A LOOK.

Reporter: RODNEY

BULLARD IS VICE PRESIDENT

OF COMMUNITY AFFAIRS AT

CHICK-FIL-A.

HE BELIEVES WE ALL HAVE A

HERO INSIDE OF US WAITING

TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

WE ARE ALL LOOKING FOR

THIS SINGULAR HERO,

SOMEONE TO COME SAVE THE

DAY.

QUITE FRANKLY, I'VE

LEARNED, AND MY EXPERIENCE

IS, THE MASSES SAVE THE

MASSES.

EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US

HAS A HERO IN US, AND HAS

THE ABILITY TO BE SOMEONE

ELSE'S HERO.

Reporter: IN HIS NEW

BOOK, "HEROS WANTED,"

RODNEY SHARES SIMPLE AND

POWERFUL WAYS WE CAN OFFER

OUR GIFTS TO BENEFIT

OTHERS.

Terry: WELL, PLEASE

WELCOME TO "THE 700 CLUB"

RODNEY BULLARD.

IT IS GREAT TO HAVE YOU

HERE.

IT IS GREAT TO BE HERE,

TERRY.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

Terry: YOU'VE WRITTEN

A WONDERFUL BOOK CALLED

"HEROS WANTED," BUT LE

CRAE DESCRIBES YOU AS A

PILLAR TO THE CITY OF

ATLANTA AND A PERSONAL

INSPIRATION.

WHERE DID YOU LEARN THE

IMPORTANCE OF SERVING

OTHERS?

ONE, I APPRECIATE LE

CRAE AND I HOPE TO LIVE UP

TO THAT.

I LEARNED ABOUT SERVICE BY

MY PARENTS.

EVERY DAY THEY DRILLED

INTO ME THAT THIS WAS NOT

ABOUT ME.

THIS WAS NOT ABOUT MY

EDUCATION OR MY

EXPERIENCE, BUT THIS IS

ABOUT GIVING BACK.

AND ANY EXPERIENCE OR

EDUCATION I GARNERED ALONG

THE WAY WAS TO HELP

SOMEBODY ELSE, TO GIVE

BACK.

Terry: IT IS

INTERESTING YOU SHOULD

WORK FOR CHICK-FIL-A

BECAUSE THAT IS KIND OF A

KNOWN SYMBOL OF WHAT THEY

STAND FOR.

YES.

Terry: WE TALKED

ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF

EVERYDAY HEROS.

HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE A

HERO?

WITH OFTEN THINK OF A

HERO AS THIS GRANDIOSE

PERSON -- I HAVE TO BE A

BILLIONAIRE, AND ALL OF

THESE THINGS THAT, QUITE

FRANKLY, DON'T DESCRIBE A

HERO.

I THINK A HERO IS ANYBODY

WHO DECIDES TO ANSWER THE

CONVICTION IN THEIR HEART,

THAT SOMETHING THEY SEE IS

WRONG, THAT THEY ANSWER

THAT CALL AND THEY DO

SOMETHING ABOUT IT.

IT CAN BE AS SMALL AS A

HELLO, A GESTURE.

I WAS SAYING EARLIER THAT

I HAD A FIRST GRADE

TEACHER WHO JUST POURED

INTO ME.

SO WHEN I HAD A DIFFICULT

TIME READING, SHE POURED

INTO ME.

SHE WAS A HERO FOR ME.

Terry: LIFE-CHANGING,

REALLY, BECAUSE YOU WOULD

HAVE SEEN YOURSELF AS LESS

THAN IF IT HADN'T BEEN FOR

THAT TEACHER WHO INVESTED

HERSELF IN YOU.

YES.

Terry: AND IT CHANGED

YOUR LIFE.

> YOU KNOW, I'M JUST

WONDERING, AS I WAS

READING YOUR BOOK AND I

WAS THINKING ABOUT YOUR

GROWING UP YEARS AND YOUR

HISTORY, WHO WAS YOUR

FIRST PERSONAL HERO?

WAS IT THE TEACHER?

I THINK MY MOTHER AND

MY FATHER WERE MY FIRST

PERSONAL HEROS.

MY MOTHER POURED INTO ME

IN EVERY WAY SHE COULD,

AND I APPRECIATE THAT.

AND THAT'S SUCH A POWERFUL

THING, TO HAVE A MOTHER

LIKE THAT.

I'M BLESSED THAT GOD GAVE

ME HER SO EARLY IN LIFE.

Terry: AMEN.

BUT THEN I'VE HAD A

NUMBER OF HEROS.

FOR ME, I THINK ABOUT

HEBREWS 12, AND IT TALKS

ABOUT WE'RE E ENCOMPASSED BY

A CROWD OF WITNESSES.

THESE PEOPLE WHO HAVE

POURED INTO ME, WHO WATCH,

WHETHER THEY BE IN HEAVEN

OR HERE ON EARTH, AND I

HAVE TO GIVE FROM THEIR

INVESTMENT.

Terry: YOU ARE ON A

PERSONAL JOURNEY TO

ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO

EMBRACE HEROISM IN THEIR

OWN LIVES.

ABSOLUTELY.

WE WANT TO BE INTENTIONAL

WITH OUR SOCIAL MEDIA

CAMPAIGN, AND REALLY

ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO USE

THEIR THREE FEET.

THERE IS A STORY IN THE

BOOK WHERE ONE OF MY

FRIENDS, GREG ELLISON, A

PASTOR OF DIVINITY IN

ATLANTA, HE TALKS ABOUT

HIS AUNT DODD.

AND SHE SAID, I DON'T KNOW

HOW YOU CAN IMPACT THE

WORLD, BUT YOU CAN USE

YOUR THREE FEET EVERY DAY.

THE CAMPAIGN IS TO

ENCOURAGE US TO WALK IN

OUR DAILY SELF AND TO

CONNECT WITH OTHER PEOPLE,

WHETHER THEY BE DIFFERENT

OR IN PAIN, BUT TO CONNECT

WITH OTHER PEOPLE.

Terry: THE

OPPORTUNITIES ARE THERE IN

THAT THREE FEET AROUND US

CIRCLE, AREN'T THEY?

THEY ARE.

Terry: THERE ARE

SEVERAL PEOPLE IN THE BOOK

THAT YOU TALK ABOUT AND

TELL THEIR STORIES, BUT

YOU ALSO ENCOURAGE US TO

THINK ABOUT THIS BY GIVING

US WHAT YOU CALL THE NINE

"C"s OF A HEROIC HEART.

TALK ABOUT THAT.

SO, REALLY, THE BOOK,

AT ITS CORE, IS A GUIDE

BOOK ON HOW TO BE A HERO.

ASPIRATION, SOMETHING WE

HAVE TO WORK AT DAILY.

THE NINE "C"s ARE PART

OF THE GUIDE, PART OF THE

PATHWAY TO BEING A HERO.

CALLING AND CONVICTION ARE

TWO OF THE "C"S THAT I

OFTEN TALK ABOUT BECAUSE I

THINK ABOUT SOMEONE LIKE

ROSA PARKS.

ROSA PARKS WAS CONVICTED

BY SOMETHING THAT SHE SAW

WAS WRONG IN HER TIME, IN

HER DAY, IN HER AGE.

AND THE ONLY THING SHE

COULD DO WAS JUST STAY

SEATED.

AND THAT'S ALL SHE DID.

Terry: BUT HER NAME

IS REMEMBERED THROUGHOUT

HISTORY FOR TAKING THAT

STEP.

YES.

Terry: SO REALLY WHAT

YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT, IN A

SENSE, IS LIVING

INTENTIONALLY WITH THIS

IDEA IN MIND THAT EVERY

ONE OF US HAS THE CHANCE

TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

YES, MA'AM, ABSOLUTELY.

Terry: WHERE DO YOU

START?

I THINK YOU CAN START

JUST BY BEING A FRIEND.

JUST BY SAYING, WHAT ARE

THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOU

TO BE A FRIEND OF SOMEONE

IN NEED OF FRIENDSHIP.

Terry: WHAT DO YOU

WANT THE TAKE-AWAY TO BE?

"HERE'S WANTED" IS THE

NAME OF THE BOOK.

I WOULD LOVE FOR THE

TAKE-AWAY THE FACT THAT WE

ALL HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY

TO BE SOMEONE ELSE'S HERO,

BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY, WE

HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY TO

ARE SOMEONE ELSE'S HERO.

Terry: IT OUGHT TO BE

SOMETHING WE EMBRACE

BECAUSE IT IS SO NEEDED IN

OUR WORLD TODAY.

RODNEY'S BOOK IS CALLED

"HEROS WANTED: WHY THE

WORLD NEEDS YOU TO LIVE

YOUR LIFE OUT."

IT IS AVAILABLE WHEREVER

BOOKS ARE SOLD.

HE IS LIVING HIS LIFE OUT

LOUD IN MANY WAYS.

YOU CAN ALSO HEAR MORE

FROM RODNEY ON OUR

Facebook PAGE, GO TO

Facebook.com/700club.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

LOVE CHICK-FIL-A.

THAN THANK YOU.

I'M BLESSED TO BE WITH

YOU.

Terry: STILL AHEAD, A

YOUNG WOMEN WITH A

QUESTION FOR PAT.

THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO

CLAIM TO BE CHRISTIANS,

AND THEY SHOW SO MUCH HATE

TO PEOPLE WHO MAY NOT

SHARE THE SAME VIEW.

Terry: A VIDEO

EDITION OF YOUR QUESTIONS

AND HONEST ANSWERS IS

COMING UP.

Terry: WELCOME BACK.

IT IS TIME FOR YOUR

QUESTIONS AND HONEST

ANSWERS.

TODAY WE HAVE A FEW

QUESTIONS FOR PAT ON

VIDEO.

SO LET'S TAKE A LOOK AT

THIS FIRST ONE FROM

CASSIDY.

UM, I WAS WONDERING AS

A CHRISTIAN, HOW DO YOU

FEEL -- OR HOW DO YOU DEAL

WITH PEOPLE WHO CLAIM TO

BE CHRISTIANS THAT SHOW SO

MUCH HATE TO PEOPLE THAT

MAY NOT SHARE THE SAME

VIEW?

Pat: WELL, YOU KNOW,

I THINK IT IS TAKES ALL

KINDS TO MAKE A WORLD, AS

THEY SAY.

THE APOSTLE PAUL SAID IF

SOMEBODY WHO CLAIMS TO BE

CHRISTIAN DOES THE

FOLLOWING THINGS, YOU'RE

NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO EAT

WITH THEM.

HE SAID, I'M NOT

SUGGESTING THAT YOU GO OUT

IN THE WORLD AND DON'T

HAVE ASSOCIATION WITH

SINNERS, BUT IF SOMEBODY

IS CLAIMING TO BE A

CHRISTIAN, DON'T EVEN EAT

WITH THEM IF THEY HAVE THE

HATE YOU'RE DESCRIBING.

AND YOU CAN'T LOVE JESUS

IF YOU HAVE HATE IN YOUR

HEART TOWARDS OTHER

PEOPLE.

YOU JUST CAN'T DO IT.

AND IF YOU DO HAVE THAT

HATE, IT MEANS THAT THERE

IS SOMETHING MISSING IN

YOUR FAITH.

SO HOW DO YOU DEAL WITH

THEM?

THAT'S WHAT THE APOSTLE

PAUL SAID.

Terry: THE NEXT

QUESTION IS FROM A

GENTLEMAN NAMED TED.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

HAVE BEEN CONSTANTLY ON MY

MIND AS I LOOK AT TODAY IS

THIS DIVIDED CHURCH,

DIVIDED BY DENOMINATION,

AND EVEN DIVIDED BY

DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS

OF THE WORD OF GOD.

WHERE DO YOU SEE THIS

GOING IN TERMS OF THE

SOLIDITY OF THE CHURCH,

AND THE CHURCH'S ABILITY

TO ACTUALLY DO WHAT THE

LORD SAID IN TERMS OF

OCCUPYING UNTIL HE COMES,

TO PROMOTE THE GOSPEL, AND

TO GET PEOPLE TO SEE AND

REALIZE THE REALITY OF

JESUS CHRIST, AND THE NEED

FOR SALVATION.

Pat: YOU KNOW, AGAIN,

WHAT THE APOSTLE PAUL

SAID, WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE

EAGER TO MAINTAIN THE

UNITY OF THE SPIRIT IN THE

BONDS OF PEACE UNTIL WE

COME INTO THE UNITY OF THE

FAITH.

THERE ARE SO MANY

DENOMINATIONS.

AND THIS ONE HAS THIS VIEW

OF THE RAPTURE, THIS ONE

HAS THIS VIEW OF THE

SECOND COMING, THIS VIEW

OF WHAT THE CHURCH IS

SUPPOSED TO DO, THIS VIEW

OF WHAT WOMEN ARE SUPPOSED

TO DO AND MEN ARE SUPPOSED

TO DO -- WE'VE GOT

DIFFERENT VIEWS.

THE ONE THING WE CAN HAVE

IS UNITY OF THE SPIRIT.

WE CAN LOVE EACH OTHER.

I THINK THAT'S WHAT THE

APOSTLE PAUL SAID, EAGER

TO MAINTAIN THAT UNITY OF

THE SPIRIT UNTIL WE COME

INTO THE UNITY OF THE

FAITH.

BUT WE'RE NOT THERE YET,

AND WE PROBABLY NEVER WILL

BE BECAUSE IT IS JUST THE

WAY PEOPLE ARE.

AND WE HAVE DIFFERENT

INTERPRETATIONS.

SO DON'T THINK THERE IS

SOMETHING STRANGE ABOUT

IT.

IT HAS BEEN HERE FOR

CENTURIES, AND IT STILL

WILL BE.

Terry: IT IS

INTERESTING THAT WHEN

JESUS PRAYED FOR US TO HIS

FATHER, THAT'S WHAT HE

ASKED FOR, THAT WE MIGHT

BE UNIFIED.

Pat: YOU SEE, IN

UNITY, TERRY, THERE IS

NOTHING IMPOSSIBLE.

I TELL FOLKS AT THE

UNIVERSITY THAT I'M

LEADING THESE DAYS, I SAY,

LOOK, WHEN WE AGREE

TOGETHER, YOU HAVE ONE

MIND AND ONE VOICE, THEN

NOTHING THEY PROPOSE TO DO

WILL BE IMPOSSIBLE.

YOU CAN DO EVERYTHING IF

YOU'RE TOGETHER.

AND IF YOU'RE DIVIDED -- A

HOUSE DIVIDED CAN'T STAND.

IT IS JUST THAT SIMPLE.

Terry: THIS QUESTION

IS FROM A YOUNG LADY NAMED

ALI.

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS

ON GLOBAL WARMING, AND DO

YOU THINK IT EXISTS?

Pat: WELL, LET'S FACE

IT, WE HAVE A LOT OF

CARBON IN THE AIR.

AND THERE IS FOG, AND

THERE IS AIR POLLUTION.

YOU GO TO BEIJING, FOR

EXAMPLE, AND YOU CAN

HARDLY BREATHE.

IT IS JUST SO BAD YOU CAN

HARDLY BREATHE.

SO, YES, THERE IS AIR

POLLUTION.

BUT I THINK WE HAD A GUEST

ON WHO WROTE THE BOOK

ABOUT THE POLITICALLY

CORRECT GUIDE TO GLOBAL

WARMING.

AND, YOU KNOW, THEY HAVE

GONE AWAY FROM GLOBAL

WARMING BECAUSE THE WORLD

IS GETTING COOLER, SO NOW

THEY CALL IT CLIMATE

CHANGE.

I THINK IT IS A RELIGION.

IT IS NOT SCIENCE.

IT ISN'T BASED ON GOOD

SCIENCE.

AND THE IDEA IS, AS I SAID

TO OUR GUEST -- I SAID,

WELL, MARS IS GETTING

COOLER.

AND HE SAID, WELL, IT'S

GETTING HOTTER.

AND I SAID, YOU'RE RIGHT,

I'M SORRY, IT'S GETTING

HOTTER.

BUT THEY DON'T HAVE ANY

S.U.V.s IN MARS.

THERE ARE NO JET AIRPLANES

IN MARS.

BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH THE

SUN.

AND THE RELATION OF THE

PLANETS TO THE SUN IS

CAUSING THE TEMPERATURE TO

RISE.

WELL, IT HAS A LOT TO DO

WITH THE SUN, SUN SPOTS

AND SUN ACTIVITY.

BUT WHAT THIS WHOLE GLOBAL

WARMING THING IS -- TO GET

TO THE POINT REAL QUICK --

IT IS A CONCERTED EFFORT

TO BRING THE ONE WORLD

POLITICAL VIEW INTO FOCUS,

WHERE THE ONE WORLD

GOVERNMENT TAKES OVER ALL

OF THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION

PRODUCTION.

AND THEY DO IT UNDER THE

GUISE OF QUOTE, "CLIMATE

CHANGE."

Terry: THIS VIEWER

SAYS, "LUKE 17:3 SAYS, IF

SOMEONE HAS WRONGED YOU,

FORGIVE HIM.

BUT IF SOMEONE HAS NOT

CHANGED HIS BEHAVIOR, HAS

REJECTED ALL YOUR EFFORTS

TO RESOLVE THE CONFLICT

AND CONTINUES TO ESCALATE

THE ACTION AGAINST THEM,

DOES THIS MEAN YOU DON'T

HAVE TO FORGIVE THEM?

SHOULD WE JUST PRAY FOR

THEM AND FOR RESOLUTION

AND ADDRESS FORGIVENESS

LATER?"

Pat: WHY SHOULD YOU

LET SOMEBODY'S ACTIVITY

AFFECT YOU?

YOU'VE GOT YOUR LIFE AND

YOUR RELATION TO THE LORD.

WHAT THEY DO IS BETWEEN

THEM AND THE LORD.

AND YOU SHOULDN'T LET THEM

AFFECT YOU.

BUT THE TRUTH IS, IF

SOMEBODY IS OUT TRYING TO

GET YOU ALL THE TIME,

THERE IS NOTHING THAT SAYS

YOU CAN'T DEFEND YOURSELF.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE SOME

KIND OF A PATSY THAT IS

OUT THERE THAT JUST GETS

BEAT UP ALL THE TIME.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO EXPOSE

YOURSELF TO THAT KIND OF

THING.

BUT IN TERMS OF CARRYING

RESENTMENT IN YOUR HEART,

FORGIVE.

DON'T DO IT.

IT WILL HURT YOU RATHER

THAN THEM.

Terry: MARY SAYS,

"DEAR PAT, I DON'T

UNDERSTAND PRAYER CLUBS.

I RECENTLY CONFIDED IN A

FRIEND ABOUT A PROBLEM.

SHE ANNOUNCED HER WOMEN'S

GROUP TO ANOINT A PIECE OF

CLOTH AND THEN GAVE IT TO

ME.

I KNOW I SHOULD BELIEVE

THAT GOD WILL HELP ME AND

NO A CLOTH.

SO I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY

I SHOULD CARRY THE CLOTH

AROUND.

DOES IT HAVE SPECIAL

POWERS?"

Pat: APPARENTLY THE

APOSTLE PAUL HAD A SPECIAL

HEADBAND WHILE HE WAS

WORKING AS A CARPENTER,

AND HE COULD TAKE THESE

OFF AND PRAY ON THEM AND

GIVE THEM OUT TO PEOPLE,

AND THE PEOPLE THAT

RECEIVED THEM GOT HEALED.

I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY OF

THOSE CHURCH LADIES HAVE

THE SAME POWER AT THE

APOSTLE PAUL.

THERE ARE NOT SOME MAGIC

THINGS.

HE WASN'T PRACTICING

MAGIC.

IT WAS KIND OF LIKE HIS

PRAYERS WERE CARRIED OUT

THROUGH THESE GARMENTS

THAT HE WAS WEARING.

> WELL, TODAY'S POWER

MINUTE IS FROM THE BOOK OF

JOHN.

IT SAYS: "IF YOU ASK

ANYTHING IN MY NAME, I

WILL DO IT."

> TOMORROW YOU'VE GOT

THE STORY OF A MAN WHO WAS

MIRACULOUSLY HEALED OF

MALARIA.

FOR TERRY AND ALL OF US,

THIS IS PAT ROBERTSON.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

BEING WITH US.

WATCH TOMORROW, "THE 700

CLUB."

WE'LL SEE YOU THEN.

WE'LL SEE YOU THEN.

BYE-BYE.
