> COMING UP , A COLLEGE

BASEBALL START --

EVERY TIME I WOKE UP IN THE

MORNING, THE FIRST THOUGHT I

HAD WAS, I AM A GOOD BASEBALL

PLAYER.

THIS IS AWESOME.

PITCHING IN THE GAME OF HIS

LIFE.

I BECAME ANXIOUS ABOUT MY

EXISTENCE.

I STARTED TO QUESTION WITH THIS

LIFE WAS ALL ABOUT.

FIND OUT HOW HE HAD TO SHUT

HIMSELF DOWN.

THERE WAS SOMETHING

HAPPENING MY HEART DIGGING ME

OUT OF THIS HOLE.

ON TODAY'S "THE 700 CLUB".

> WELCOME TO THE "700 CLUB".

THREE FLAGPOLES STAND OUTSIDE

BOSTON CITY HALL.

ONE FLIES THE UNITED STATES

FLAG.

ANOTHER THE FLAG OF THE

COMMONWEALTH OF MASSACHUSETTS.

THE THIRD FLAGPOLE IS TO

CELEBRATE OTHER COUNTRIES,

CULTURES AND CAUSES.

HUNDREDS OF PRIVATE GROUPS

HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO RAISE

THEIR BANNERS ON THAT THE THIRD

FLAGPOLE, BUT A CHRISTIAN GROUP

WAS DENIED.

TODAY THE SUPREME COURT WILL

HEAR THEIR CASE.

REPORTER CAITLIN BURKE HAS THE

DETAILS.

Reporter: OVER A 12 YEAR

PERIOD, THE CITY OF BOSTON

RECEIVED NEARLY 300

APPLICATIONS FOR THE THIRD

FLAGPOLE.

THEY APPROVED ALL OF THEM

EXCEPT ONE.

THEY HAVE FLOWN FLAKES FOR

INDIVIDUALS, SAY, FOR EXAMPLE,

THE METRO CREDIT UNION, GAME

PRIDE, BOSTON PRIDE, OTHER

CAUSES.

IN ADDITION TO THAT, THEY HAD

INDIVIDUALS THAT WOULD RAISE

FLAGS OF THEIR COUNTRIES.

Reporter: THE REJECTION CAME

IN 2017 WHEN AN ORGANIZATION

APPLIED TO RAISE A CHRISTIAN

FLAG AND HOLD A ONE-HOUR

CEREMONY IN HONOR OF

CONSTITUTION DAY.

THEY SAID THIS WAS THE FIRST

FLAG OF A RELIGIOUS NATURE BUT

IT WOULD HAVE BEEN ALLOWED TO

FLY, HAD IT NOT BEEN CALLED

CHRISTIAN.

THE SAME FLAG HAD NO PROBLEM TO

THE CITY, AS LONG AS YOU DID

NOT CALL IT SOMETHING

RELIGIOUS.

Reporter: THE CONSTITUTION

DIRECTOR SUED THE CITY AND NOW

HIS CASE WILL BE HEARD BY THE

SUPREME COURT.

THIS CASE IS SO MUCH BIGGER

THAN A FLAG.

IT REALLY INVOLVES WHETHER THE

GOVERNMENT CAN OPEN A FORUM FOR

A LOT OF DIFFERENT VOICES AND

SHUT THE DOOR FOR CHRISTIAN

VIEWPOINTS.

Reporter: DESPITE THE FACT

THAT THE CITY ITSELF IS

REFERRED TO THE FLAGPOLE AS A

PUBLIC FORUM, ATTORNEYS ARE

EXPECTED TO SAY IT IS A CASE OF

GOVERNMENT SEECH, MEANING THE

FLAGPOLE SPEAKS FOR THE CITY OF

BOSTON.

THAT DEFIES LOGIC BECAUSE

BOSTON ALLOWS TWO COMPETING

CHINESE ORGANIZATIONS OR

INDIVIDUAL GROUPS TO PUT

OPPOSITE FLAGS, BOTH FOR THE

CHINESE COMMUNITY, ONE PRO-

COMMUNISM AND THE OTHER ANTI-

COMMUNISM.

AUSTIN CANNOT BE PRO-CHINA ONE

WEEK, ANTI-CHINA THE NEXT, PRO-

COMMUNISM ONE WEEK, ANTI-

COMMUNISM THE NEXT, THAT IS

CLASSIC FREE SPEECH IN THE

PUBLIC FORUM, NOT THE FREE

SPEECH OF BOSTON.

Reporter: THE CASE ATTRACTED

UNLIKELY ALLIES, THE ACLU, A

GROUP THAT NORMALLY FIGHTS

AGAINST RELIGIOUS DISPLAYS ON

PUBLIC PROPERTY SUPPORTED CAMP

CONSTITUTION.

MAT STAVER, THE COUNCIL, SAYS

THIS CASE WILL HAVE SIGNIFICANT

IMPLICATIONS.

> THE SUPREME COURT HAS

ALREADY RULED ON OPEN FORUMS

WHEN A GOVERNMENT AGENCY, ANY

SORT OF GOVERNMENT OPENS AN

OPEN FORUM AND ALLOWS FOR OPEN

DISCUSSION, YOU CAN'T

DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF

VIEWPOINT, YOU CERTAINLY CAN'T

DISCRIMINATE ON THE BASIS OF

RELIGION, WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT

THE CITY OF BOSTON IS DOING.

THE CITY FATHERS ARE ROLLING

AROUND IN THEIR GRAVES BECAUSE

THEY NEVER IMAGINED THIS COULD

EVER HAPPEN IN THE CITY THEY

FOUNDED.

WHILE IT IS AN IMPORTANT

CONSTITUTIONAL ISSUE AND AN

IMPORTANT CONSTITUTIONAL CASE,

THE CITY HAS ALREADY SAID THEY

WILL NOT ALLOW ANY PRIVATE

GROUP TO USE THE THIRD FLAG

POLE GROUP GOING FORWARD SO THE

CASE IS NOW MOOT.

IT IS ONE TO WATCH, IT IS ONE

WE HAVE TO CONSTANTLY WATCH

OVER OUR RELIGIOUS LIBERTIES

NOW IN THE UNITED STATES OF

AMERICA.

IT JUST SEEMS THE GOVERNMENT,

INCREASINGLY, IS BECOMING ANTI-

CHRISTIAN.

> IN OTHER NEWS, SNOW, ICE,

RAIN AND EVEN TORNADOES WERE

ALL PART OF THE STORM THAT HIT

THE SOUTHEAST THIS WEEK.

JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE ON THAT

FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU IN

WASHINGTON.

Reporter: THAT IS RIGHT,

GORDON.

THE STORM LEFT UP TO 20 INCHES

OF SNOW IN THE CAROLINAS AND

MORE THAN A FOOT IN PARTS OF

THE NORTHEAST.

NOW WITH FREEZING TEMPERATURES

AND COLDER AIR ON THE WAY,

THERE IS CONCERN ABOUT FREEZING

ROADS.

Reporter: THE DANGEROUS

WINTER WEATHER HIT THE U.S.

WITH SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL,

STRONG THUNDERSTORMS AND GUSTY

WINDS.

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS ARE

FEELING THE IMPACT WITH TENS OF

THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE OUT OF

POWER FROM NORTH CAROLINA TO

MAINE.

TRAVELERS STRANDED, AS HUNDREDS

OF FLIGHTS WERE CANCELED.

IN JUST HOURS, BUFFALO, NEW

YORK SHATTERED SNOWFALL

RECORDS.

THE SYSTEM ESPECIALLY PUMMELED

OHIO, UPSETTING DRIVERS TRYING

TO DIG OUT.

LOOK AT ME, I AM ALL STUCK

HERE.

I DON'T APPRECIATE THIS, I

DON'T.

Reporter: METEOROLOGISTS

SAID A FOOT OR MORE FELL IN

OHIO AND PARTS OF PENNSYLVANIA

STATE.

UP TO 20 INCHES OF SNOW FELL IN

THE CAROLINA MOUNTAINS.

THE SYSTEM HIT THE TAR HEEL

STATE WITH DANGEROUS ICE.

MANY DRIVERS NEAR THE RALEIGH

AIRPORT BOT TO STABILIZE THEIR

CARS ON THE ROAD.

IN DURHAM, A TRACTOR TRAILER

SLID OFF A FROZEN OVERPASS.

THE DRIVER WAS RUSHED TO THE

HOSPITAL.

IN NASH COUNTY, THE STORM TURNED

DEADLY WHEN AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE

WERE KILLED WHEN THEIR CAR

CAREENED OFF OF I-95.

IN NEW ENGLAND, THE WINTER

WEATHER SYSTEM BROUGHT COASTAL

FLOODING IN WAVES OVERTAKING A

PEER.

THE STORM SURGE FORCED WATER

RESCUES IN CONNECTICUT.

MEANWHILE, IN FLORIDA, THE SAME

SYSTEM PRODUCED TORNADOES,

INCLUDING AN EF-2 IN FORT

MEYERS.

THE DESTRUCTIVE WINDS WREAKING

HAVOC ON A MOBILE HOME PARK.

IT HAPPENED SO FAST, IT WAS

UNBELIEVABLE.

Reporter: A NEW BRANCH OF

ARCTIC AIR IS EXPECTED TO PUSH

OVER THE PLAIN.

THAT COULD LEAD TO ANOTHER

WINTER STORM ON THE ATLANTIC

COAST LATER FRIDAY AND

SATURDAY.

MARK MARTIN, CBN NEWS.

SOME WILD AND DANGEROUS

WINTER WEATHER.

THANK YOU, MARK.

CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM, NOW THAT WE

MIGHT SEE THE END OF THE

OMICRON SURGE WITH CASES

DROPPING IN SOME HOT SPOT.

IN WASHINGTON, D.C., NEW

INFECTIONS ARE DOWN 25% OVER

THE LAST WEEKEND DOWN 17% IN

BOTH NEW YORK AND NEW JERSEY.

STILL, HOSPITALS ARE FULL AND

EMERGENCY ROOMS ARE BACKING UP.

SOME HOSPITALS ARE EVEN FORCED

TO POSTPONE SURGERIES BECAUSE

OF THE OVERFLOW.

TOMORROW, AMERICANS CAN BEGIN

ORDERING UP TO FOR FREE, AT

HOME COVID TESTS.

THAT ADDRESS IS COVID

TESTS.GOV.

> THERE IS A DRAMATIC ESCAPE

BY THREE HOSTAGES BY A TEXAS

SYNAGOGUE SUNDAY.

THE RABBI SAID HE SERVED THE

GUY MENTEE BECAUSE HE APPEARED

TO NEED SHELTER.

WHILE THEY WERE PRAYING, THE

MAN TOOK OUT A WEAPON.

THE MAN ORDERED THE HOSTAGES TO

GET ON THEIR KNEES.

THAT IS WHEN THE RABBI THREW A

CHAIR AT HIM AND THE THREE MADE

A DARING DASH OUT A NEARBY

DOOR.

IN A SERVICE, HE GAVE THANKS TO

GOD.

WE ARE SO THANKFUL FOR THE

SOURCE OF REDEMPTION, THE

SOURCE OF BLESSING, THE SOURCE

OF PEACE FOR REDEEMING US IN

OUR TIME OF NEED.

THE SUSPECT IS A BRITISH

NATIONAL WHO DIED WHEN AGENTS

RUSHED THE BUILDING.

HE DEMANDED THE RELEASE OF A

CONVICTED TERRORIST HELD IN A

NEARBY PRISON.

THE SBI IS INVESTIGATING THE

ATTACK AS TERRORISM TARGETING

THE JEWISH COMMUNITY BUT THE

BUREAU CAME UNDER FIRE FOR AN

INITIAL STATEMENT THAT THE

ATTACK, QUOTE, WAS NOT

SPECIFICALLY RELATED TO THE

JEWISH COMMUNITY.

A FORMAL FORMER AGENT TOLD

CBN'S FAITH NATION THAT IT WAS

EVIDENT IT WAS A HATE CRIME

AGAINST JEWS.

IT SHOWS ME OUR OWN FBI IS

NOT AS AWARE AND EDUCATED AND

TRAINED ON THESE ISSUES OF ANTI-

SEMITISM AS THEY SHOULD BE.

SHE ALSO SAID JEWS ARE THE

VICTIMS OF 54% OF RELIGIOUSLY

MOTIVATED HATE CRIMES.

WITH RELIGIOUS LIBERTY

INCREASINGLY UNDER ATTACK IN

AMERICA, NEW GROUP IS SEEKING

TO RECRUIT LAWMAKERS WHO WILL

STAND FOR THE FREE EXERCISE OF

RELIGION AT THE LOCAL, STATE

AND NATIONAL LEVELS, REGARDLESS

OF POLITICAL PARTY.

CBN'S JENNA BROWDER BRINGS US

THE STORY.

Reporter: THIS WEEK,

PRESIDENT BIDEN DECLARED

JANUARY 16 RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

DAY TO PROTECT PEOPLE OF FAITH.

A RECENT SLEW OF CASES SHOWS

RELIGIOUS FREEDOMS ARE BEING

CHIPPED AWAY.

I WAS HERE AS THE COCHAIR

FOR EIGHT YEARS.

Reporter: WASHINGTON STATE

HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL COACH JOE

KENNEDY FIRE FOR HIS GAME

PRAYERS.

A PHOTOGRAPHER FORCED TO PAY

THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, GO TO

JAIL AND HAVE HER LICENSE

REVOKED FOR REFUSING TO TAKE

PHOTOS FOR SAME-SEX WEDDINGS.

AT HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES,

LEAKED MEMO REVEALING THE BIDEN

ADMINISTRATION SEEKS TO

UNENFORCED THE RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM RESTORATION ACT.

WE WILL TARGET HOMELESS

SHELTERS, BAKERS AND FLORISTS,

HOSPITALS AND SCHOOLS. THEY

EVEN ATTACKED NUNS THAT CARE

FOR THE SICK AND THE DYING.

Reporter: THE RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM INSTITUTE SAYS THESE

THREATS CAN'T GO UNCHECKED.

FORMER RELIGIOUS FREEDOM

AMBASSADOR SAM BROWNBACK ON

CBN'S "FACE THE NATION" --

HE GAVE US RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM, THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE

TO DO WHAT WITH OUR OWN SOUL

WHAT WE CHOOSE.

NO GOVERNMENT HAS A RIGHT TO

INTERFERE WITH THAT.

Reporter: HE IS SPEARHEADING

THE NEW NATIONAL COMMITTEE FOR

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

THE COMMITTEE IS AIMING TO HELP

ELECTED POLITICIANS REGARDLESS

OF PARTY, WHO WILL STAND FOR

@RELIGIOUS LIBERTY.

EACH STATE WILL HAVE BUT

CHAPTER.

THERE WILL BE OF VIRGINIANS

FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, A KANSAS

FOR RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND WE

WILL ASK THOSE LOCAL STATE

AFFILIATES TO DETERMINE THE

MAJOR ISSUES IN THEIR STATES

AND LOCAL GOVERNMENTS THAT THEY

WANT TO LOOK AT.

Reporter: YOU MENTIONED IT

IS REGARDLESS OF PARTY.

ARE YOU HOPEFUL YOU WILL GET

PEOPLE FROM BOTH PARTIES?

I AM.

THIS USED TO BE A SOLIDLY

BIPARTISAN ISSUE, THE RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM RESTORATION ACT, WHEN

IT INITIALLY PASSED, I THINK IT

PASSED THE SENATE, 99-1. THERE

WASN'T ANY DIVISION ON THE

FIRST AMENDMENT TO THE

CONSTITUTION, THE FREE EXERCISE

OF RELIGION.

SINCE THEN, IT HAS DIVIDED UP A

LOT MORE BUT NOT

INTERNATIONALLY.

WE HAVE STAYED TOGETHER THERE.

DOMESTICALLY, MY HOPE IS THAT

WE CAN START PULLING TOGETHER

HERE.

THIS IS A FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT YOU

CANNOT HAVE A DIVERSE CULTURE

WITHOUT HAVING THESE

PROTECTIONS FOR PEOPLE OF FAITH.

Reporter: THEY WILL LAUNCH

THE COMMITTEE TODAY AT NOON.

IN WASHINGTON, JENNA BROWDER,

CBN NEWS.

A KEY ISSUE SCENE IS COMING

AT A CRITICAL TIME.

GORDON?

IT IS HARD TO IMAGINE YOU

HAVE TO FORM OF POLITICAL

COMMITTEE NOW TO SUPPORT

CANDIDATES WHO SAY THEY WILL

SUPPORT THE FREEDOM OF

CONSCIENCE, THE FREEDOM OF

RELIGION IT USED TO BE

CONSIDERED UN-AMERICAN TO SAY

WE ARE GOING TO ATTACK SOMEBODY

ON THE BASIS OF THEIR RELIGIOUS

BELIEFS.

THERE IS NO RELIGIOUS TEST FOR

OFFICE.

THE CONSTITUTION GUARANTEES THE

FREE EXERCISE OF RELIGION.

THE STATE HAS NO BUSINESS

REGULATING RELIGION.

OUR CONGRESS SHALL PASS NO ACT.

ALL OF THESE THINGS WERE

CONSIDERED FUNDAMENTAL TO THE

AMERICAN CULTURE, THE AMERICAN

EXPERIENCE.

IT IS INCREDIBLE, NOW, WE HAVE

TO GO OUT AND DEFEND IT AND

DEFEND OUR RIGHT IN THE PUBLIC

SQUARE TO PRAY, TO PROCLAIM OUR

BELIEFS.

THESE ARE NOW SOMEHOW STRANGE.

IF YOU GET A CHANCE, WE'VE GOT

THAT LEAKED MEMO FROM THE

HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES GOING

AFTER THE DEFENSE OF THE

RESTORATION OF THE RELIGIOUS

FREEDOM ACT. IT IS AMAZING, THE

LOGIC IN IT, AND HOW THEY ARE

TRYING TO SAY WE NEED TO PROTECT

GAY IN THEIR SEARCH FOR SOCIAL

SERVICES AND ADOPTION AND THAT

IS WHY WE CAN NO LONGER SUPPORT

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

IT IS ABSOLUTELY TWISTED LOGIC

AND GOES EXACTLY IN LINE OF

WHAT THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA

DID, SAYING THEY WANT TO DEFINE

CHRISTIAN ADOPTION SERVICES

THAT HAD BEEN SERVING THE CITY

FOR OVER 100 YEARS.

IT IS AMAZING THE LOGIC. WE

NEED TO STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHT

TO BELIEVE, OUR RIGHT OF

FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE, OUR

RIGHT OF ASSEMBLY, OUR RIGHT OF

FREE SPEECH AND FREEDOM OF

RELIGION.

WE NEED TO SUPPORT POLITICAL

CANDIDATES. I WOULD SAY AT

EVERY LEVEL OF GOVERNMENT,

REGARDLESS OF THE BUREAUCRACY

OF APPOINTMENT, THEY NEED TO

MAKE A DECLARATION, WE STAND

FOR FREEDOM OF CONSCIENCE.

WE STAND FOR THE AMERICAN

EXPERIMENT, THIS WONDERFUL

EXPERIMENT THAT WE CAN ALL BE

FREE TO BELIEVE AS THE DICTATES

OF OUR CONSCIENCE TELL US,

BECAUSE WITHOUT THAT FREEDOM,

YOU REALLY DON'T HAVE A FREE

CULTURE.

IT IS AMAZING TO ME WE HAVE

GONE THIS FAR, BUT WE HAVE. I

APPLIED SENATOR BROWNBACK FOR

FORMING THIS COMMITTEE TO SAY,

WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR

CANDIDATES FOR PUBLIC OFFICE

AND, IN TURN, THE PEOPLE THEY

APPOINT TO THE BUREAUCRATIC

LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT, THAT IS

WHERE THE REAL POWER IS NOW,

THEY NEED TO SAY, WE STAND FOR

RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.

TERRY?

> UP NEXT, THEY SAY IT IS

BETTER TO GIVE THAN TO RECEIVE.

STUDIES ARE SHOWING WHY THAT IS

TRUE.

DISCOVER THE SURPRISING

BENEFITS OF GENEROSITY.

THAT IS COMING UP.

> STILL AHEAD, THE TOWERING

PITCHER FOR THE KENTUCKY

WILDCATS BASEBALL TEAM.

SEE THE CURVEBALL THAT CHANGED

HIS LIFE LATER ON TODAY'S "700

CLUB".

> IF YOU READ YOUR BIBLE AND

ATTEND CHURCH REGULARLY, THE

ODDS ARE YOU ARE A GENEROUS

GIVER ACCORDING TO A NEW STUDY

ON THE GIVING HABITS OF

EVANGELICALS.

YOU ARE ALSO LIKELY TO ENJOY

THE BENEFITS OF GIVING AND THE

STRONG CONNECTION TO GRATITUDE.

CHARLENE AARON EXPLAINS.

Reporter: THE REPORT, "THE

GENEROSITY FACTOR: EVANGELICALS

AND GIVING", FOUND THAT 74% OF

EVANGELICALS GAVE TO THEIR

CHURCH AT SOME POINT DURING THE

LAST YEAR.

AUTHORS OF THE STUDY ALSO POINT

OUT AREAS OF CONCERN WHEN IT

COMES TO THE ISSUE OF

GENEROSITY AND BELIEVERS.

WE HAD 19% WHO GAVE NOTHING,

WHATSOEVER.

NOTHING TO CHURCH, NOTHING TO

CHARITY.

SO, ONE OUT OF EVERY FIVE

EVANGELICALS IS SIMPLY NOT A

GIVER, AT LEAST NOT IN THE LAST

12 MONTHS.

Reporter: RON SELLERS OF

GREY MATTER RESEARCH AND

CONSULTING, ALONG WITH INFINITY

CONCEPTS, EXPLORED THE GIVING

HABITS OF INVALID JEWELS OVER A

YEARS TIME.

WE FOUND AMONG EVANGELICAL

PROTESTANTS, 74% GIVE TO THEIR

CHURCH OR TO A CHURCH.

58% GIVE TO CHARITY OUTSIDE OF

CHURCH.

THAT COULD BE A CHRISTIAN

MINISTRY, THAT COULD BE A

SECULAR CHARITY.

ONLY 51% GIVE TO BOTH CHURCH

AND CHARITY.

Reporter: ACCORDING TO THE

STUDY, ON AVERAGE, AN

EVANGELICAL GAVE $1923 TO

CHURCH AND $622 TO CHARITY OVER

THE LAST YEAR, FOR A GRAND

TOTAL OF $2545.

RON SELLERS SAYS WHILE MANY

PROTESTANTS BELIEVE IN THE

BIBLICAL PRINCIPLE OF TITHING,

FEW COME CLOSE TO IT.

ONLY 13% WERE GIVING AWAY AT

LEAST 8% OF THEIR ESTIMATED

INCOME.

GOD COMMANDS US TO GIVE A

TITHE BACK TO HIM.

AND, THE BEST PLACE I CAN SEE

TO DO THAT AND HE COMMANDS US

AS THE PLACE WE ARE SEEING FED

SPIRITUALLY.

THAT IS OUR LOCAL CHURCH.

Reporter: SELLERS POINTED

OUT A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER

AMOUNT OF GIVING CAME FROM

THOSE WHO REGULARLY READ THE

BIBLE AND ATTEND CHURCH.

WE FOUND A VERY SIGNIFICANT,

SUBSTANTIAL AND CONSISTENT

DIFFERENCE IN GIVING PATTERNS,

NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT'S MY

MEASURES, WHETHER THEY GIVE,

HOW MUCH THEY GIVE AND HOW

GENEROUSLY THEY GIVE COMPARED

TO THEIR OWN MEANS, ACCORDING

TO HOW INVOLVED PEOPLE ARE IN

THEIR OWN FAITH.

Reporter: 86% OF THOSE WHO

ATTENDED CHURCH AT LEAST ONCE A

MONTH, IN PERSON OR ONLINE,

GAVE, COMPARED TO 42% THAT

ATTENDED LESS THAN ONCE A

MONTH.

FOR THOSE WHO READ THE BIBLE

EACH WEEK, GIVING WAS AT 400%

HIGHER THAN THOSE WHO RARELY OR

NEVER OPENED THE BOOK.

DR. CORNE BEKKER OF REGENT

UNIVERSITY'S SCHOOL OF DIVINITY

SAYS GIVING IS OFTEN TIED TO

GRATITUDE.

WITH GRATITUDE, THAT IS

WHEN WE NOT ONLY UNDERSTAND

WHAT WE HAVE RECEIVED BUT THE

ABILITY TO THEN EXTEND THAT

GRATITUDE TO OTHERS.

THAT CAN BE EXPRESSED IN A

VARIETY OF WAYS.

OFTEN IT IS GIVING EITHER TO

MISSION OR OTHER HUMANITARIAN

ORGANIZATIONS, SUCH AS FEEDING

THE POOR OR TAKING CARE OF

THOSE PEOPLE THAT ARE INDEED

DESTITUTE.

AND WE HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT

THIS IS NOT SOMETHING FOR

CHRISTIANS OR EVANGELICALS THAT

IS APART FROM OUR FAITH.

IT IS CENTRAL TO US.

Reporter: A LARGE NUMBER

INTERVIEWED FOR THE STUDY

SUPPORT THREE OR MORE CHARITIES

OUTSIDE OF THEIR CHURCH.

GENEROSITY FOR WHICH THE

SALVATION ARMY IS GRATEFUL.

THE AMERICAN PUBLIC STEPPED

UP IN A WONDERFUL WAY TO

SUPPORT THE SALVATION ARMY

DURING THE PANDEMIC.

Reporter: COMMISSIONER

KENNETH HODDER SERVES AS

NATIONAL COMMANDER.

IT DOESN'T SURPRISE ME THAT

WHEN PEOPLE BELIEVE THAT THE

LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS CHANGED

THEIR LIFE, THAT THEY ARE

WILLING TO GIVE IN SUPPORT OF

THE SALVATION ARMY AND OTHER

ORGANIZATIONS TO ENSURE THAT

OTHERS HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY,

AS WELL.

Reporter: WHILE THE STUDY

FOUND HALF OF EVANGELICALS GIVE

LESS THAN 1% OF THEIR ANNUAL

INCOME, THOSE WHO DO SEE IT AS

REWARDING AND FULFILLING.

THERE IS A NEED OUT THERE AND

WE JUST RECEIVE BLESSINGS BACK

THAT WE CAN'T BEGIN TO MEASURE.

IT SHINES GOD'S LOVE.

IT IS REALLY JUST ABOUT SHOWING

GOD.

YOU CAN SAY YOU LOVE GOD, BUT

PRACTICALITY IS WHEN WE ARE

PHYSICALLY DOING THINGS, YOU

ARE GIVING.

YOU'RE BLESSING PEOPLE AND

HELPING THOSE IN NEED.

THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT JESUS DID.

Reporter: CHARLENE AARON,

CBN NEWS.

THE BENEFITS OF GIVING ARE

OBVIOUS.

YOU PUT INTO MOTION SO MANY

THINGS ON A SPIRITUAL LEVEL.

THE WORDS OF JESUS ARE TRUE,

THIS IS FROM THE GOSPEL OF LUKE

6. GIVE, AND IT WILL BE GIVEN

UNTO YOU.

WHEN YOU START HEARING THESE

WORDS THAT ARE HEAPED UP,

PRESSED DOWN AND RUNNING OVER

WITH THE MEASURE YOU USE, IT

WILL BE MEASURED BACK TO YOU.

IF YOUR MOTIVATION IS TO GET,

YOU ARE ON THE WRONG COURT, IF

YOU WILL.

IT IS ALL ABOUT LOVING.

IT IS ALL ABOUT GENEROSITY AND

BEING CHEERFUL WITH IT.

WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THE NATURE

OF GOD, FOR GOD SO LOVED THE

WORLD HE GAVE.

HE GAVE THE THING MOST PRECIOUS

TO HIM.

HE DID IT EAGERLY.

HE WANTED TO DO IT.

HE LOVED SO MUCH THAT HE DID

IT.

WHEN YOU DO IT WITH THAT

MOTIVATION, YOU DO IT

CHEERFULLY, YOU DO IT

GENEROUSLY, WONDERFUL THINGS

HAPPEN.

THOSE WHO READ THE BIBLE

UNDERSTAND THESE TRUTHS BECAUSE

TEY HAVE LIVED THESE TRUTHS.

WHEN YOU LIVE IT, YOU GET AT.

IF YOU'RE NOT LIVING IT, I

ENCOURAGE YOU TO START THIS

YEAR, SAY, YES, I WANT TO TURN

THIS AROUND.

IF YOU WANT JOY IN YOUR LIFE,

PEACE, THE ABUNDANT BLESSINGS,

THE WINDOWS OF HEAVEN OPEN OVER

YOUR LIFE, START A LIFESTYLE OF

GIVING.

TERRY?

> UP NEXT, THE HIGH COST OF

FREE MONEY.

THIS COUPLE LIVED LARGE ON

CREDIT CARDS. YEARS LATER, THEY

HAD TO DEAL WITH THE

CONSEQUENCES.

SEE HOW THEY BUILT A SOLID

FINANCIAL FUTURE, DESPITE THE

SETBACKS, AFTER THIS.

> MICHAEL AND SANDY CROMWELL

> MICHAEL AND SANDY CROMWELL

WANTED TO LIVE THE AMERICAN

DREAM.

TO THEM, THAT MEANT OWNING

THEIR OWN HOME.

THEIR PROBLEM, THEIR DREAM

SEEMED FOREVER OUT OF REACH

BECAUSE FOR OVER THE YEARS,

THEY HAD RACKED UP MASSIVE

DEBT.

Reporter: MICHAEL, AN

EDUCATOR, AND SANDY, A CASE

MANAGER FOR THE DISABLED, MET

ON A CHRISTIAN SINGLES WEBSITE.

THEY HIT IT OFF AND FELL IN

LOVE.

A YEAR LATER IN 2010, THEY

MARRIED!

IT WAS A LONG HOPED-FOR FIRST

FOR THEM BOTH.

ALONG WITH THAT HOPE, THE

CROMWELLS DREAMED OF SOMETHING

ELSE.

ANOTHER PART OF THE AMERICAN

DREAM, YOU KNOW, WAS OWNING A

HOME.

I REALLY WANTED TO HOST

THANKSGIVING DINNER!

THAT WAS REALLY IMPORTANT TO

ME.

ALL MY FAMILY OVER, I HAD THE

SPACE TO DO THAT.

WE PRAYED ABOUT IT AND WE

ASKED GOD TO LEAD US IN THE

RIGHT DIRECTION.

THE FIRST THING WE STARTED

DOING WAS GOING TO LENDERS.

Reporter: WITH A COMBINED

DEBT OF OVER $40,000, THEY

DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR HOME LOAN.

MICHAEL'S STUDENT LOANS WERE

PART OF IT, HOWEVER, THEY BOTH

HAD RACKED UP CREDIT CARD DEBT

IN COLLEGE.

I JUMPED ON THE BANDWAGON.

I WAS LIKE, OH YEAH, CREDIT

CARDS, FREE MONEY.

I GOT A COUPLE OF CREDIT CARDS,

MAXED THEM OUT.

I DID NOT SAVE. IT ALL WENT

TO WHAT I WANTED TO DO, HAVING

FUN, PARTYING, SOMETIMES I

COULD BARELY PAY MY RENT.

THAN IT WAS LIKE, YOU HAVE

TO PAY THIS STUFF BACK.

IT IS REALLY NOT FREE MONEY.

OF A CREDIT CARD BILL CAME,

WOULDN'T NECESSARILY PAY IT OR

PAY IT ON TIME.

Reporter: MICHAEL WAS A

NEWSPAPER REPORTER WHEN HE

TURNED HIS LIFE OVER TO CHRIST.

LATER, WHILE SERVING IN THE

ARMY, HE BEGAN TITHING AND ALSO

READING THE BIBLE, GOING TO

CHURCH AND WATCHING CHRISTIAN

TV.

PAT WAS, HE WAS A PART OF

THAT.

GOD IS SPEAKING THROUGH THE

PROPHETS AND SAYS, BRING YOUR

TITHE INTO THE STOREHOUSE SO

THERE MAY BE MEET MY HOUSE AND

SEE AND IMPROVE ME THIS DAY IF

I DON'T OPEN THE WINDOWS OF

HEAVEN.

LOOK AT THAT.

AND POUR YOU OUT A BLESSING

UNTIL IT OVERFLOWS.

SANDY KNEW ABOUT TITHING

FROM HER MOTHER AND

GRANDFATHER, A BAPTIST

MINISTER.

OUT ON HER OWN AND IN CREDIT

CARD DEBT, SHE BELIEVED SHE

COULDN'T AFFORD TO TITHE.

MY MINDSET WAS, I NEED TO

PAY MY BILLS FIRST AND THEN

GIVE TO GOD IF THERE WAS

ANYTHING LEFT OVER.

THAT CYCLE LASTED INTO

SANDY'S MID-30s.

I FELT LIKE SOMETHING NEEDED

TO CHANGE BECAUSE MY

CIRCUMSTANCES WERE NOT

CHANGING.

I WAS STILL BEHIND IN MY DEBTS.

I WAS LIKE HIM I NEED TO TRUST

GOD.

HE HAS BEEN IN MY LIFE ALL

THESE YEARS.

SO I STARTED TITHING.

FIRST FRUITS.

I WOULD DO MY 10%, THEN I WOULD

PAY MY BILLS.

BY THE TIME THEY MARRIED,

THEY WERE BOTH COMMITTED

TITHERS AND THEY HAD STOPPED

CREDIT CARD SPENDING.

HOWEVER, THEIR MEDIOCRE CREDIT

SCORES AND AN OLD JUDGMENT ON

MICHAEL'S CREDIT HISTORY WAS

WHY THEY WERE DENIED THE HOME

LOAN.

IT WAS EMBARRASSING, YOU

KNOW, BECAUSE I FELT LIKE I WAS

BRINGING SANDY DOWN BECAUSE OF

MY FINANCIAL SITUATION.

WE DECIDED WE WILL CONTINUE

TO PRAY AND CONTINUE TO TITHE

AND TRY TO GET OUR DEBT DOWN.

MICHAEL ALSO STARTED GIVING

TO CBN.

CBN GOES INTO COMMUNITIES AND

REPAIRS CLEFT PALATES.

IT IS VERY VALUABLE TO

SPREADING THE GOSPEL AND

HELPING OTHER PEOPLE BECAUSE

PEOPLE CAN LEARN ABOUT THE

GOSPEL IF YOU GO AND HELP THEM.

Reporter: ANOTHER YEAR

PASSED AS THEY BUDGETED AND

PAID OFF MORE DEBT.

THAT KIND OF HELPED OUR

CREDIT SCORE GO UP.

Reporter: THEN SANDY MET A

REALTOR AT A BIBLE STUDY WHO

PUT HER IN TOUCH WITH A NEW

LENDER.

HE SAW PLACES WHERE THINGS

WERE PAID OFF OR CLOSER TO PAY

OFF AND GOD WAS LOOKING OUT.

Reporter: RIGHT AT THAT

TIME, MICHAEL WAS PROMOTED FROM

A PART-TIME ONLINE COLLEGE

INSTRUCTOR TO FULL-TIME.

WITH HIS INCREASED INCOME, HIS

CREDIT JUDGMENT REMOVED, AND

WITH 50% OF THEIR DEBT PAID

OFF, THEY WERE APPROVED FOR A

VA LOAN.

THE CROMWELLS WERE ABLE TO MOVE

INTO THEIR NEW HOME!

THANK YOU, JESUS!

I WAS SAYING THAT A LOT, JUST

BEING GRATEFUL THAT GOD DOES

PROVIDE LIKE WE ARE ACTUALLY

SEEING THAT.

I COULD NOT HAVE GOTTEN THE

HOUSE WITHOUT THE JOB.

IT WAS A RESULT OF GIVING IN

EVERY WAY, FINANCIAL, MY

ALLEGIANCE AND DEVOTION TO THE

LORD, SHOWING WHERE MY HEART IS

FOR HIM.

IF WE HAD STOPPED TITHING, I

FEEL LIKE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN IN

THE SAME VICIOUS CYCLE.

I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THAT SAME

LITTLE APARTMENT, JUST SPINNING

OUR WHEELS AND TRYING TO PAY

DOWN OUR DEBT.

Reporter: NOW, THEIR OWN OLD

CONSUMER DEBTS ARE NEARLY PAID

OFF.

IN 2021, SANDY GOT A

SUPERVISORY PROMOTION, ALONG

WITH A $10,000 RAISE.

THEIR COMBINED ANNUAL INCOME IS

NOW $25,000 MORE THAN WHEN THEY

FIRST MET.

GOD TOTALLY HELPED US BE

WISER WITH OUR MONEY, BY

INSTILLING TITHING AND

CONTINUING TO PRAY AND BEING

FAITHFUL TO HIM.

YOU CAN HAVE SECURITYAND

STABILITY, FINANCIALLY AND

OTHERWISE, IN A WORLD THAT DOES

NOT HAVE THOSE THINGS, IF YOU

DEVOTE YOUR LIFE TO THE LORD.

IF YOU LIVE FOR HIM, IF YOU

PUT THE KINGDOM OF GOD FIRST,

ALL OF THESE OTHER THINGS WILL

BE BESTOWED ON TO YOU.

THERE IS THE ALLURE OF BEING

ABLE TO HAVE WHAT YOU WANT

RIGHT NOW AND NOBODY BOTHERS TO

TELL YOU THAT YOU WILL BE

PAYING FOR THAT AGAIN AND AGAIN

AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN,

EVERY SINGLE MONTH, ON TO YOU

PAY IT OFF.

ON TOP OF THE PURCHASE PRICE,

YOU WILL BE PAYING A LOT IN

INTEREST.

IF YOU EVER MISS A PAYMENT, YOU

WILL PAY ADDITIONAL PENALTIES

AND ADDITIONAL INTEREST ON THE

REMAINING BALANCE.

ALL OF THESE THINGS TRAP PEOPLE

INTO DEBT.

IF YOU ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH

CREDIT CARDS, I ENCOURAGE YOU

TO TAKE THEM OUT, TAKE A PAIR

OF SCISSORS AND CUT THEM UP AND

SAY, I CAN'T USE THESE.

I AM NOT GOOD AT DISCIPLINE.

PRIORITIZE THE HIGHEST INTEREST

RATES FIRST.

IT IS A SIMPLE RULE, I LOVE TO

TELL PEOPLE ABOUT IT.

IT IS CALLED THE 80/10/10 RULE.

IF YOU LIVE WITHIN YOUR MEANS,

TOTAL OF YOUR INCOME AND YOU

NEED ALL OF YOUR EXPENSES TO

FIT WITHIN 80% OF YOUR INCOME.

I WILL NOT LIVE OUTSIDE MY

INCOME, I WILL LIVE INSIDE MY

INCOME.

THEN I WILL TAKE 10% AND GIVE

IT FIRST TO GOD.

I WILL SEEK HIM FIRST.

HIS KINGDOM, HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS,

I WILL BE OBEDIENT.

A LOT OF PEOPLE MISSED THIS

STEP, WHICH IS SAFE 10%.

YOU ARE INVESTING IN YOU.

YOU ARE INVESTING IN YOUR

FUTURE AND YOU ARE TRYING TO

FIND MUTUAL FUNDS OR THINGS YOU

CAN INVEST IN EASILY.

OVERTIME, THEY WILL APPRECIATE

AND BRING YOU A BLESSING.

IT IS A VERY SIMPLE RULE.

WHEN YOU FOLLOW IT, WONDERFUL

THINGS CAN HAPPEN.

HERE IS A PROMISE FROM GOD IN

ISAIAH 1:19.

IF YOU WILL ONLY OBEY ME AND

LET ME HELP YOU, THEN YOU WILL

HAVE PLENTY.

MICHAEL AND SANDY FIGURED THAT

OUT.

THIS WAS IN SOME GET RICH QUICK

OR ANYTHIN LIKE THAT.

THEY FIGURED IT OUT, LET'S LIVE

WITHIN OUR MEANS, LET'S PAY OFF

OUR DEBT, LET'S HONOR GOD WITH

OUR OFFERINGS AND HE MADE A WAY

FOR THEM.

NOW THEY ARE OWNING A HOME.

THEY HAVE A HOPE, A FUTURE.

YOU CAN HAVE THE SAME THING, IF

YOU JUST FOLLOW THE SAME

PRINCIPLES.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO DO THAT,

START 2022 RIGHT, GIVE US A

CALL.

1-800-700-7000.

JUST SAY, YES, I WANT TO JOIN

THE "700 CLUB", I WANT TO BE

PART OF EVERYTHING YOU ARE

DOING AROUND THE WORLD.

JUST AS MICHAEL AND SANDY SAID

THEY LOVED WATCHING WHAT

OPERATION BLESSING CAN DO, A

PORTION OF EVERY GIFT TO THE

> IMAGINE THIS, FEW DAYS

AFTER SREY KOUCH WAS BORN, A

NEIGHBOR TOLD HER FAMILY TO

GIVE THE BABY AWAY.

THAT IS BECAUSE SREY KOUCH WAS

BORN WITH A CLEFT LIP AND

PALATE.

HER PARENTS HAD NO WAY TO PAY

FOR THE SURGERY THEIR BABY SO

DESPERATELY NEEDED.

Reporter: WHEN NEARY GOT

PREGNANT, SHE WENT TO A CLINIC

NEAR HER HOME FOR PRENATAL

CARE.

THEY ARE SHE LEARNED SOMETHING

WAS NOT RIGHT WITH HER BABY

GIRL.

THE DOCTOR SAID MY DAUGHTER

HAD A CLEFT LIP.

WHEN I HEARD THAT, I WAS

SHOCKED AND I CRIED A LOT.

I NEVER THOUGHT SOMETHING LIKE

THAT COULD HAPPEN.

MY HUSBAND AND MY SON LOOK JUST

FINE.

WHY IS SHE LIKE THAT?

MY HUSBAND CRIED, TOO.

THREE MONTHS AFTER SREY

KOUCH WAS BORN, COVID HIT THEIR

VILLAGE AND THE GOVERNMENT SHUT

DOWN TRAVEL.

THIS IS SEVEN-YEAR-OLD MAYSAH.

Translator: A NEIGHBOR TOLD

MY MOM TO GIVE MY SISTER AWAY

TO OTHER PEOPLE.

I SAID, NO.

I LOVE HER VERY MUCH.

I WANT MY PARENTS TO TAKE CARE

OF HER AND RAISE HER WELL.

WHEN OPERATION BLESSING

LEARNED ABOUT THEIR BABY, WE

ARRANGED FOR SREY KOUCH TO

RECEIVE FREE TRANSPORTATION AND

FREE SURGERY AT A HOSPITAL IN

THE CAPITAL CITY.

Translator: I FELT VERY

HAPPY AFTER MY DAUGHTER'S

SURGERY.

NOW SHE CAN DRINK THE FORMULA

SHE SMILES, SHE LOOKS SO

BEAUTIFUL.

SHE LAUGHS A LOT NOW, TOO.

I DON'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT HER

FUTURE.

LIPS. SHE LOOKS SO BEAUTIFUL!

Reporter: NIKKI AND ANDY ARE

GOOD PARENTS WHO WORK AND

VOLUNTEER AT THEIR CHURCH .

THEIR LIVES WEREN'T ALWAYS LIKE

THIS.

BEFORE THEY MET, NIKKI AND ANDY

BATTLED DRUG ADDICTION.

DOING HEROIN IS GETTING AS

CLOSE TO DEATH AS YOU POSSIBLY

CAN WITHOUT DYING.

EVERYTHING WAS ABOUT GETTING

THE NEXT FIX . THERE WAS

NOTHING ELSE.

THERE WAS NOTHING OUTSIDE OF

THAT.

I LOST EVERYTHING TO THE

POINT WHERE I WAS HOMELESS.

I HAD A GOOD CAREER.

I HAD A HOME.

I HAD CARS, I HAD A WIFE AND

KIDS AND I WAS DOWN TO NOTHING.

Reporter: THEY BOTH ENROLLED

IN FAITH HOME, A REHABILITATION

HOUSE RUN BY LIGHTHOUSE MISSION

FOUND EACH OTHER.

SOMETIMES I HAVE TO PINCH

MYSELF.

TO BE MARRIED TO A MAN OF GOD,

BE RAISING THESE TWO BEAUTIFUL

CHILDREN IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD,

I NEVER THOUGHT IT WAS

POSSIBLE.

IT WAS PURELY BY THE POWER OF

JESUS CHRIST.

Reporter: THROUGHOUT THEIR

RECOVERY JOURNEY, THEY RELIED

ON HELP FROM THE CHURCH.

WE HAD NOTHING.

WE WERE BARELY MAKING ANY

MONEY.

WE COULD BARELY SURVIVE.

WE COULD BARELY EVEN FEED

OURSELVES.

IF IT WEREN'T FROM THE FOOD WE

WERE GETTING FROM THE MINISTRY

AT OPERATION BLESSING, WE WOULD

NOT HAVE HAD ANYTHING TO EAT.

I WILL NEVER FORGET THE FOOD

THEY WOULD GIVE US.

I MEAN, IT WAS JUST LIKE WE

WERE EATING LIKE KINGS AND

QUEENS.

THE FOOD THAT WE GOT AND THE

FOOD WE WOULD BRING HOME AND

THE WAY WE WERE ABLE TO EAT

HEALTHY AND COOK HEALTHY MEALS,

HONESTLY, I DON'T SEE HOW WE

WOULD HAVE MADE IT WITHOUT THE

BLESSING OF FOOD FROM OPERATION

BLESSING.

Reporter: TODAY, THEY BOTH

WORK FULL TIME AT THE CHURCH

AND EVEN VOLUNTEER THERE ON

THEIR PERSONAL TIME.

NIKKI LEADS WORSHIP AND ANDY

LEADS SECURITY TO MAKE SURE

CHURCH FAMILIES ARE SAY.

GORDON AND TERRY WILL BE BACK

WITH MORE OF THE "700 CLUB"

RIGHT AFTER THIS.

WITH A 90 MILE-AN-HOUR FAST

BALL, ALEX DEGEN IS AN

IMPOSING PRESENCE ON THE MOUND.

THE SENIOR PITCHER FOR THE

KENTUCKY WILDCATS WAS A

SHUTDOWN RELIEVER.

HE TOLD REPORTERS HE WAS

STANDING TALL FOR ONE REASON

BECAUSE HE WAS REBUILT FROM THE

GROUND UP.

I BECAME VERY, VERY ANXIOUS

ABOUT MY EXISTENCE.

I STARTED TO QUESTION, WHAT IS

THIS LIFE ALL ABOUT?

FOR THE FIRST TIME IN HIS

LIFE, ALEX DEGEN STRUGGLED WITH

HIS IDENTITY.

FOR YEARS, HE HAD BEEN

CONFIDENT IN WHO HE WAS . A

BASEBALL PLAYER.

BY HIS SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

SEASON, ALEX CAPTURED THE

ATTENTION OF DIVISION I

SCHOOLS, LIKE RUTGERS AND

KENTUCKY.

MY IDENTITY WAS MOST

DEFINITELY FIRMLY IN BASEBALL.

FROM THE TIME I WOKE UP IN THE

MORNING, THE FIRST THOUGHT I

HAD WAS, I AM A GOOD BASEBALL

PLAYER.

THIS IS AWESOME.

Reporter: ALTHOUGH HE HAD AN

EXCITEMENT FOR BASEBALL, HE

FOUND THE IDEA OF LIVING FOR

GOD DULL AND LAUGHED AT FRIENDS

WHO ATTENDED FELLOWSIP OF

CHRISTIAN ATHLETES.

I WAS LIKE, YOU ARE YOUR OWN

GOD.

YOU LIVE YOUR OWN TRUTH.

Reporte: ALEX GRADUATED

HIGH SCHOOL AND ACCEPTED A

SCHOLARSHIP TO THE UNIVERSITY

OF KENTUCKY.

I WAS HUMBLED, I WAS A BIG

DEAL, I AM THE STAR OF THIS

TOWN.

I AM THE LOCAL BOY.

I AM DOING GOOD FOR MYSELF.

Reporter: ALEX ARRIVED AT

THE UNIVERSITY OF KENTUCKY,

READY TO MAKE A NAME FOR

HIMSELF.

HOWEVER, HIS PERSPECTIVE ON

LIFE WAS ABOUT TO BE

DRASTICALLY CHANGED.

SO YOU PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN

AND YOU ARE GOING ABOUT YOUR

BUSINESS AND THEN YOU ARE

APPROACHED BY SOME GUYS.

TELL ME ABOUT THAT.

THEY STOPPED ME AND THEY

SAY, WHAT'S GOING ON?

WHAT YOUR NAME?

I SAY, I AM ALEX.

THE STUDENTS SHARED THE

GOSPEL WITH ALEX AND INVITED

HIM TO A BIBLE STUDY.

I WAS LIKE, WHAT?

THIS IS WHERE.

WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW?

LET'S SEE WHAT THIS BOOK OF

RULES HAS TO SAY.

Reporter: ALEX DECIDED HE

WOULD STUDY THE BIBLE TO PROVE

IT WRONG.

EVERY PART OF ME KEPT TRYING

TO FIND FLAWS IN IT.

EVERY PART OF ME WAS LIKE,

OKAY, I WILL FIGURE OUT WHAT IS

TRUE.

WHAT I WANTED TO BE WAS LIKE, I

DON'T REALLY CARE.

I JUST WANTED TO LIVE MY LIFE.

I AM GOING TO DIE ONE DAY, WHO

REALLY CARES?

Reporter: THE MORE HE

STUDIED THE BIBLE, THE MORE

TROUBLED HE BECAME BECAUSE IT

CHALLENGED HIS ENTIRE BELIEF

SYSTEM.

I BECAME VERY, VERY ANXIOUS

ABOUT MY EXISTENCE.

I BECAME VERY WORRIED, ALMOST

LIKE DYING AND I BECAME VERY

PANICKY ALL THE TIME.

IT WAS NOT A COMFORTABLE

EXPERIENCE FROM THAT POINT.

THAT REALLY LASTED FOR ABOUT A

MONTH KIND OF ON AND OFF.

I HAD TROUBLE SLEEPING, I WAS

JUST BROUGHT DOWN TO A VERY LOW

POINT.

YOU CAN IMAGINE MY RESPONSE TO

THAT WAS, WHY DID I START DOING

THESE BIBLE STUDIES?

I WAS DOING FINE MY WHOLE LIFE

AND I STARTED DOING THIS AND

NOW I FEEL THIS WAY.

I CONTINUED TO REJECT THE

GOSPEL.

I WAS LIKE HIM I DON'T WANT

ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS GOD,

IF HE EXISTS, IF HE IS GOING TO

MAKE ME FEEL THE WAY I AM

FEELING RIGHT NOW.

Reporter: WHAT HAPPENED?

SO, AS ANYBODY WOULD HAVE

DONE COME I WANTED TO START

FEELING JOYFUL AGAIN.

SO ONE NIGHT I WAS JUST SITTING

IN MY DORM ROOM AND I WAS LIKE,

I'M TIRED OF FEELING THIS WAY.

LIKE THIS EMPTINESS, THIS

LOSTNESS, THIS BROKENNESS, THIS

SEARCH FOR PURPOSE.

Reporter: ALEX DECIDED TO

READ THE BIBLE, NOT AS A

SKEPTIC, BUT AS IF IT WERE

TRUE.

Reporter: HE WOKE UP THE

NEXT MORNING.

I FELT AS GOOD, JUST LIKE

MENTALLY AND I JUST LIKE WASN'T

PERFECT YET.

I WASN'T AT A POINT YET WHERE I

COULD SAY I WAS BETTER. I WAS

CONVINCED THAT GOD WAS WITH ME

AND THAT JESUS TRULY DID DIE

FOR MY SINS.

BUT I FELT BETTER.

I DID IT THE NEXT NIGHT AGAIN.

I READ JOHN, JOHN 2, JOHN 3 AND

I KEPT FEELING BETTER AND AT

THAT POINT, I WAS JUST KIND OF

CHASING A FEELING.

THERE WAS SOMETHING TO BE SAID

ABOUT THIS.

SOMETHING IN MY HEART WAS

HAPPENING RIGHT NOW DIGGING ME

OUT OF THIS HOLE.

Reporter: ALEX BELIEVED IN

THE GOSPEL AND GAVE HIS HEART

TO JESUS.

Reporter: HOW DID YOUR LIKE

BEGIN TO LOOK DIFFERENT?

GOD BROKE ME DOWN AND HE

EMPTIED ME SO I HAD TO REBUILD

MY FOUNDATION FROM THE BOTTOM

UP.

THIS TIME, NOT IN BASEBALL, NOT

IN SCHOOL, NOT IN FAMILY OR

FRIENDS OR SPORTS OR WHATEVER,

I HAD TO BUILD IT FROM THE

GROUND UP WITH A FIRM

FOUNDATION WITH JESUS AT THE

BOTTOM AND EVERYTHING ELSE

FALLING BELOW HIM.

Reporter: THOSE AROUND HIM

BEGIN TO NOTICE A CHANGE.

I STARTED REALIZING, THERE

WAS SOMETHING DIFFERENT ABOUT

THIS GUY.

Reporter: KENTUCKY COACH

NICK MINGIONE SAID ALEX HAS

BECOME A GREAT TEAMMATE AND A

SERVANT LEADER.

A LEADER IS SOMEONE WHO

KNOWS THE WAY, SHOWS THE WAY

AND GOES THE WAY AND I THINK

ABOUT ALEX.

THERE IS NO QUESTION HE IS

THAT.

Reporter: NOW IN HIS FINAL

SEASON AT KENTUCKY, ALEX HOPES

TO BECOME A MAJOR LEAGUE

PITCHER.

HOWEVER, HE KNOWS WHATEVER

HAPPENS, HE HAS PEACE WITH THE

ONE WHO CONTROLS IT ALL.

YEAH, TO GET TO THE NEXT

LEVEL TO PLAY PROFESSIONAL

BASEBALL, THAT HAS BEEN MY

DREAM SINCE BEYOND I CAN

REMEMBER.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, THAT

DOESN'T HAPPEN, THAT IS NOT

WHAT MY IDENTITY IS IN.

IF I DON'T GET PICKED UP, IF I

DON'T GET DRAFTED, NOTHING WILL

CHANGE ABOUT THE WAY GOD LOVES

ME AND WHAT CHRIST DID FOR ME.

IF YOU TOLD ME IN THREE,

FOUR, FIVE YEARS FROM NOW, IF

YOU TOLD ME HE WOULD BE

KNOCKING ON THE DOOR THE BIG

LEAGUES, I WOULD BE LIKE, YEAH,

I CAN BELIEVE THAT.

IF YOU TOLD ME WOULD BE ASKING

ME TO COME SPEAK AT HIS CHURCH

BECAUSE HE IS A PASTOR, I CAN

BELIEVE IT.

EVERYTHING CHANGED WHEN

JESUS DIED AND FOR ME,

ESPECIALLY NOW, MAKING THESE

SPIRITUAL REALIZATIONS EACH AND

EVERY DAY AND WEEK AND MONTH,

IT IS LIFE-CHANGING NEWS.

IT'S NOT BASEBALL, IT'S NOT

SCHOOL.

THESE THINGS ARE ALL GREAT AND

WE CAN USE ALL THESE THINGS AS

PLATFORMS AND DO WHATEVER, BUT

AT THE END OF THE DAY, COMES

DOWN TO CHRIST AND CHRIST

CRUCIFIED AND WHAT THAT DEATH

WAS AND WHAT IT STOOD FOR AND

HOW WE RESPOND TO THAT.

THAT ONE MAN BECAME SIN FOR ALL

OF US, SO WE NO LONGER HAVE TO

BE CONDEMNED BY THAT, BUT IN

HIM, WE TRULY DO BECOME THE

RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD.

THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.

YOU KNOW, UNTIL WE COME TO

THE PLACE THAT ALEX DID OF

UNDERSTANDING THAT THERE IS

SOMETHING MORE, THERE IS A

DEEPER PURPOSE TO OUR BEING

HERE, WE DO WHAT COMES

NATURALLY, WHICH IS REALLY TO

SELF PROMOTE, TO TRY TO FIGURE

OUT WHO WE ARE AND WHY WE ARE

HERE AND TO TRY TO FIND

HAPPINESS, WHOLENESS AND

FULFILLMENT THROUGH THAT.

AS LONG AS EVERYTHING IS GOING

ALONG WELL, THAT SEEMS TO WORK

FOR A SEASON.

THE PROBLEM IS, EVERYTHING THAT

SUPPORTS THAT PHILOSOPHY IS SO

FRAIL.

IT CAN CHANGE.

WE CAN FALL APART.

IT CAN BE AT THE DROP OF A HAT

AND WHEN WE LEAST EXPECT IT.

WE ARE LEFT NOT KNOWING WHO WE

ARE AND WHY WE ARE HERE.

SOMETIMES IT IS THE LOSS OF A

LOVED ONE.

SOMETIMES, AS WE SAW EARLIER IN

THE PROGRAM, WE GET ADDICTED TO

SOMETHING A DRIVE TO LOOK FOR

SOMETHING MORE TO FILL THE

EMPTINESS.

IT CAN BE SO MANY DIFFERENT

THINGS.

BUT, WHEN JESUS DIED, IT ALL

CHANGED.

HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT ABOUT

THAT.

JESUS CAME AND HE PAID THAT

PRICE AND SACRIFICED HIS LIFE

SO WE COULD SPEND ETERNITY WITH

HIM FORGIVEN, LOVED, ENCOURAGED

, INFUSED WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT.

YOU KNOW, WE TALKED ABOUT PAT'S

BOOK, A GIFT TO THOSE OF YOU

WHO JOINED THE 700 CLUB, IT IS

ABOUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD COMING

TO LIVE IN US.

IT IS A NECESSITY, IT IS WHAT

WE WERE CREATED FOR.

ANYTHING APART FROM THAT WILL

BE LESS THAN.

TODAY, IF YOU ARE WATCHING THE

PROGRAM, MAYBE YOU HAVEN'T MADE

THAT COMMITMENT YET.

YOU KNOW, YOU CAN BE RELIGIOUS

BUT NOT KNOW JESUS.

IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE,

PLEASE CALL OUR TOLL-FREE

NUMBER, 1-800-700-7000.

JUST SAY I DON'T KNOW JESUS.

I WOULD LIKE TO PRAY WITH

SOMEONE TODAY.

THERE IS A FRIEND STANDING BY

WHO WOULD LOVE TO DO THAT WITH

YOU.

I PROMISE YOU, IT WILL BE LIFE-

CHANGING.

SO CALL.

> WE LEAVE YOU WITH WORDS

TODAY FROM 1 CORINTHIANS 16:14.

"LET LOVE AND KINDNESS BE THE

MOTIVATION BEHIND ALL THAT YOU

DO."

(1 CORINTHIANS 16:14 TPT) DON'T

MISS OUT ON GOD'S PLAN FOR YOUR

LIFE.

WE WILL SEE YOU TOMORROW.
