- Carroll says, "Hello, Pat."

"My mom is 86 years oldand is now bedridden,

"due to the result ofa surgical procedure."

"She's been asking me ifGod has been punishing her

"for her circumstances."

"Can you assure her that hersuffering has nothing to do

"with God punishing her?"

"My family would be forever grateful."

- Well, I just wanna sayright now that God knows you

and, regrettably, whetheryou like it or not, I'm 90,

but you're 86 and we get alittle older and when we do,

these bodies we have start to break down.

It isn't God's punishment,it's the way He...

We have a pineal glandthat after awhile says,

you're not worth much andI'm gonna turn you off,

and when that thing flips onyou, you start gettin' old.

So, I just want you to say God loves you

and He will carry you,from the time you were born

til the time you die.

He will be there with you, sodon't be condemning yourself.

Just rejoice in the thingsof the Lord, all right?

- Amen.

Jan says, "Will littlekids go in the rapture?"

"My friends keep tellingme that they won't

"and that they will have togo through the tribulation."

"She also believes graceis no longer with us

"after the rapture."

"Is that true?"

- Oh, there's more bad teaching

about this whole rapture business.

It came out of an Irvingitemeeting, some 17-year-old girl

started talking about thisstuff and it was picked up

by John Nelson Darby and then Scofield.

Well, here's what the Bible says,

get this very clearly.

The Lord himself is going tocome with a shout of a command,

and He will send hisangels and gather his elect

from the four corners of the earth.

And they will forever be with the Lord.

They will meet him in the air.

So, when He comes back,

Bang!

That's the rapture.

There's not gonna besome secret slipping away

seven years and then atribulation and all this business.

The Bible says, "Immediatelyafter the tribulation

"of those days, then willappear the sign of the

"Son of man in heaven and Hewill send out his angels."

Immediately after the tribulation.

So, whatever's going to happen,

there's some bad stuffgonna happen on the earth,

but when it does, lift up your eyes

for your redemption draws near.

So that's what's happeningand all this other stuff

about kids not going in the rapture,

that's all baloney, don't listen to it.

I mean, the Lord's made it very clear.

Read the Bible!

Read with it says in Matthew.

It's all laid out, all right (laughs)?

- Amen.

All right, Gloria says,

"Since the murder of Mr. George Floyd,

"there's a lot of talkgoing on about racism."

"What is the meaning of racism?"

"I looked up the definitionin the dictionary."

"I have been called a racist just because

"I have white skin."

"It does not matter what I think or feel."

"I am in my eightiesand have never thought

"I was better than anyone of any race."

"This is very hurtful."

- Well, the idea of race is that,

you think of course you'rewhite you have a privilege

over somebody who's Mexican or...

You know, I've begun torealize, we're all one race,

and I meet these Hispanics,they're my brothers and sisters.

I meet black people, they'remy brothers and sisters.

I have them involved.

We have 23% of the studentsat Regent University

are African American,about 8% are Hispanic.

These are our brothersand sisters in the Lord,

whether they're Chineseor Japanese, or Indian,

or whoever they are.

You go with these people and you realize

we're all brothers andsisters in the Lord!

And we're all one family

and not one race is anybetter than any other.

We're all one in Christ.
