LIKE WITH JESUS, YOUR STORY IS

NOT DONE.

WELCOME TO THE 700 CLUB.

A DISGRACE.

SHAMEFUL.

APPALLING.

THESE ARE THE REACTIONS TO THE

US VOTE TO ABSTAIN ON THE UN

RESOLUTION WHICH CALLED

IMMEDIATE CEASE FIRE IN GAZA.

THIS ACTION REFLECTS ANOTHER

MAJOR BREAK BETWEEN ISRAEL AND

THE UNITED STATES WAR TO DEFEAT

HAMAS.

CHRIS MITCHELL REPORTS FROM

FROM JERUSALEM THE DRAFT

RESOLUTION HASN'T BEEN ADOPTED.

THE NON-BINDING PASSED

UNANIMOUSLY WITH THE U.S.

ABSTAINING.

IT WAS IT WAS THE FIRST U.N.

SECURITY COUNCIL CEASE FIRE

DEMAND TO PASS SINCE THE

BEGINNING OF THE WAR.

THE RESOLUTION READ IN PART IN

CEASE FIRE FOR THE MONTH OF

RAMADAN RESPECTED BY ALL

PARTIES LEADING TO A LASTING

SUSTAINABLE CEASE FIRE.

SEPARATELY IT ALSO CALLED FOR

AN IMMEDIATE AND UNCONDITIONAL

RELEASE OF ALL THE HOSTAGES.

THE RESOLUTION DID NOT CONDEMN

HAMAS MENTION THE ATROCITIES OF

OCTOBER 7TH.

DESPITE THE WHITE HOUSE SAID IT

REFLECTED NO CHANGE POLICY.

IT'S VERY CONSISTENT WITH

EVERYTHING THAT WE'VE BEEN

SAYING WE WANT TO GET DONE AND

WE GET TO DECIDE WHAT OUR

POLICY IS.

THE PRIME MINISTER'S TO BE

INDICATING THROUGH PUBLIC

STATEMENTS THAT WE SOMEHOW

CHANGED HERE.

WE HAVEN'T.

BUT AFTER THE VOTE ISRAELI

PRIME MINISTER BENJAMIN

NETANYAHU CANCELED A VISIT BY

HIS NATIONAL SECURITY OFFICIALS

TO DISCUSS ISRAEL'S PLANNED

INCURSION INTO RAFAH.

HE WROTE THE U.S. BACKED DOWN

FROM ITS STANCE OF A CEASE FIRE

TO THE RETURN OF THE HOSTAGES.

HE ADDED IT GIVES HAMAS HOPE

THAT IT'S A NATIONAL PRESSURE.

IT WILL ALLOW THEM TO GET A

CEASE FIRE WITHOUT OUR

HOSTAGES.

IN A STATEMENT AFTER THE THE

VOTE HAMAS PRAISED THE

RESOLUTION.

OTHERS LIKE FORMER U.S.

AMBASSADOR TO ISRAEL DAVID

FRIEDMAN WROTE ON ABC'S JUST A

NAKED DEMAND FOR ISRAEL TO HAND

HAMAS AN ILLNESS VICTORY.

HAMAS IS CELEBRATING THE

RESULT.

THAT TELLS ALL YOU NEED TO

KNOW.

FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP

TOLD AN ISRAELI THAT ISRAEL HAS

TO FINISH ITS WAR ON HAMAS.

.

WE'VE GOT TO GET TO PEACE.

YOU CAN'T HAVE THIS GOING ON

AND I WILL SAY SAY ISRAEL HAS

TO BE VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE YOU

ARE LOSING A LOT OF THE.

YOU ARE LOSING A LOT OF

SUPPORT.

REPRESENTATIVE SHARPLY

CRITICIZED THE MOVE IS

SHAMEFUL.

WE DON'T GO NEUTRAL WHEN IT

COMES TO ISRAEL.

IT'S RIDICULOUS.

AND IF I WERE NETANYAHU I WOULD

PULL BACK HIS DELEGATION.

DEMOCRAT SENATOR FETTERMAN

WROTE IT'S APPALLING THE UNITED

STATES ALLOWED OF A RESOLUTION

THAT FAILS TO CONDEMN HAMAS

REPUBLICAN SENATOR TED CRUZ

WROTE TODAY'S RESOLUTION IS A

CAPITULATION TO AND VICTORY FOR

HAMAS.

BUT BERNIE SANDERS PRAISED THE

RESOLUTION AND WROTE THE MUST

PUSH ALL PARTIES TO HONOR THIS

CEASE FIRE AND RUSH MASSIVE

HUMANITARIAN AID INTO GAZA TO

FEED STARVING PEOPLE.

ISRAELI DEFENSE MINISTER YOUR

WIFE GALLANT ALREADY IN

WASHINGTON WARNED OF

CONSEQUENCES IF ISRAEL DOES NOT

DEFEAT HAMAS.

WE HAVE NO MORAL RIGHT TO

STOP THE IN GAZA UNTIL WE

RETURN ALL THE HOSTAGES HOME.

IF WE REACH A CLEAR AND

DECISIVE DECISION IN GAZA, IT

MAY IT MAY BRING US CLOSER TO

WAR IN THE NORTH.

CHRIS MITCHELL CBS

NEWS JERUSALEM.

WELL, I JOIN WITH THOSE WHO

ARE APPALLED BY WHAT U.S. IS

DOING HERE.

IT'S GIVING AID AND COMFORT TO

HAMAS.

IT'S A TERROR GROUP.

WHAT THEY DID ON OCTOBER 7TH IS

ABSOLUTELY INEXCUSABLE AND AND

THEY HAVE VOWED TO REPEAT IT

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN UNTIL

ISRAEL IS WIPED.

ISRAEL HAS TO DEFEND ITSELF.

HAMAS HAS TO END.

WE CAN'T END THIS AND HAVE

HAMAS STILL IN CONTROL OF GAZA.

THAT'S AN ENDGAME THAT THAT THE

ENTIRE WORLD SHOULD GET BEHIND

BECAUSE THE NEXT TARGET IS NOT

ISRAEL.

IT'S OURS.

THEY'RE AN ARM OF THE MUSLIM

BROTHERHOOD.

THEY HAVE THEY HAVE VOWED TO DO

THIS TO THE ENTIRE WORLD.

THEY HAD CONTROL OF EGYPT FOR A

BRIEF PERIOD OF TIME.

BUT THERE'S A REASON THE

MUSLIMS IN EGYPT DECLARED THEM

ILLEGAL.

THERE'S A REASON THEY'VE BEEN

IN JAIL THERE BECAUSE THEY

INCITE WHEREVER THEY GO.

AND WE'RE SEEING THIS AGAIN

AGAIN, WHEN ARE WE GOING TO

WAKE UP TO THE REALITY OF WHAT

HAMAS IS AND HOW THEY CANNOT BE

IN POWER ANY LONGER?

ALL THE INTERNATIONAL

PRESSURE SHOULD BE PUT ON HAMAS

,RELEASE THE HOSTAGES

UNCONDITIONALLY, SURRENDER

RELEASE GAZA FROM YOUR CRUEL

GRIP.

NOW WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE

HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, WHAT'S THE

MAIN OF THAT?

IT'S HAMAS.

IT'S NOT ISRAEL.

YOU CAN SAY IT'S THE WAR AND

ALL OF THESE THINGS WHO STARTED

THE WAR BEFORE?

THE WAR.

THERE WAS A SURVEY OF THE

PEOPLE OF GAZA.

8% OF THEM SAID THEY HAD FOOD

INSECURITY WHICH GOING HUNGRY.

THIS WAS THERE WAS NO IDF

ANYWHERE.

THEY HAD COMPLETE CONTROL OF

GAZA.

THEY WERE GETTING INTERNATIONAL

AID.

HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

AND THEY COULDN'T FEED THEIR

OWN PEOPLE.

WHY?

BECAUSE THEY WERE PUTTING ALL

THE MONEY INTO THESE TUNNELS

AND INTO ROCKETS INTO ATTACKS

AGAINST ISRAEL.

WE CAN'T TRUST THEM NOW TO GIVE

HUMANITARIAN AID TO STARVING

PEOPLE.

IT'S GOING TO GAZA BUT IT'S NOT

REACHING THE PEOPLE WHY BECAUSE

OF HAMAS.

SO IN ANY CEASE DO YOU THINK

THAT THAT'S GOING TO CHANGE IF

HAMAS IS STILL.

THE ANSWER QUITE CLEARLY IS NO

.

HAMAS IS NOT THE ONLY TERROR

GROUP THAT USES HUMAN SHIELDS.

HEZBOLLAH IS USING SIMILAR

TACTICS IN ITS ATTACKS ON

NORTHERN ISRAEL.

JOHN JESSUP HAS MORE ON THAT

STORY OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU IN

WASHINGTON.

JOHN, THANKS GORDON.

EVIDENCE SHOWS HIDDEN

WEAPONS IN DENSELY POPULATED

HOPING ISRAEL WOULD HIT THOSE

LOCATIONS IN THIS CITY REPORT.

GEORGE THOMAS SHOWS US HOW THE

TERRORIST GROUP USES FARMS IN

SOUTHERN LEBANON TO TARGET

ISRAEL.

THREE KILOMETERS FROM HERE

YOU CAN SEE MY VILLAGE THERE.

YOU CAN SEE MY OLIVE ORCHARDS,

MY PINE TREES AND MY THEY GET

SHELLED EVERY DAY SINCE THE

BEGINNING OF WAR.

A CHRISTIAN FARMER HERE AND 12

OF HIS WORKERS RECENTLY CAME

VERY CLOSE TO LOSING THEIR

LIVES.

I SAW DEATH IN MY EYES.

WE'RE CONCEALING HIS IDENTITY.

HE LIVES AMONG HEZBOLLAH

SUPPORTERS.

THE FARM THE SOUTH LEBANON

BORDER CLOSE TO THE ISRAELI

TOWN OF METULLA.

SINCE THE HAMAS OCTOBER 7TH

ATTACK, HIS VILLAGE AND

ADJACENT FARM HAVE UNDER

CONSTANT ISRAELI SHELLING.

MARCH 13TH THEY WERE ON THE

FARM WHEN ISRAEL STRUCK.

2 MINUTES AFTER REACHING THE

FARM THEY HIT US WITH THE 120

MILLIMETER MORTARS.

I GOT HIT BY SHRAPNEL ON MY AND

WHEN THE SECOND MORTAR WAS

COMING I TOLD THE GUYS TO HIT

THE HIT THE GROUND AND STAY

FLAT.

IT LANDED 30 METERS AWAY

FROM US.

HERE IS WHY ISRAEL O

TARGETS HIS AND OTHER NEARBY.

CBS NEWS HAS OBTAINED

EXCLUSIVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS

SHOWING HOW HEZBOLLAH TODAY

HERE IN THE SOUTHERN PART OF

LEBANON IS USING OWNED BY

CHRISTIANS IN ORDER TO LAUNCH

ATTACKS AGAINST ISRAEL.

JOSEPH TOOK THESE IMAGES A

FEW DAYS AFTER THAT STRIKE

SHOWING MULTIPLE HEZBOLLAH

MISSILE SYSTEMS IN THE MIDDLE

OF HIS OLIVE GROVE.

THEY KEEP USING OUR LAND AS

A PAD.

THEY ASSEMBLE THEIR MISSILES

HERE, THEN FIRE THEM.

HE'S BEEN LOSING MONEY SINCE

DAILY BORDER FIGHTS ERUPTED

FIVE MONTHS AGO.

WE DON'T WANT OUR LAND TO BE A

STAGING GROUND FOR WAR BETWEEN

THESE TWO PARTIES.

WE TAKE NO PART THIS.

WHAT'S HAPPENING IN GAZA IS

NOT OUR WAR.

JOSEPH HE'S REPEATEDLY ASKED

THE LEBANESE ARMY TO INTERVENE

TO STOP HEZBOLLAH FIGHTERS FROM

USING HIS FARM.

BUT TO NO AVAIL.

SOUTH LEBANON IS UNDER

HEZBOLLAH CONTROL AND JOSEPH

SAYS LEBANESE AUTHORITIES HAVE

LITTLE SWAY OVER THE TERRORIST

GROUP.

WE HAVE BECOME ACCUSTOMED TO

THESE STRIKES HAPPENING BECAUSE

WE LIVE CLOSE TO THE ISRAELI

BORDERS.

SADLY, NO SAY IN PEACEFUL WAR.

WE CHRISTIANS ALWAYS PAY THE

PRICE.

SINCE WAR BEGAN IN GAZA,

HEZBOLLAH HAS FIRED MORE

ROCKETS AT ISRAELI CIVILIAN AND

MILITARY TARGETS FORCING THE

EVACUATION OF MORE THAN

THOUSAND CIVILIAN.

ON BOTH SIDES OF THE

ISRAEL-LEBANON, THE MORE THE

WAR GOES ON, THE MORE I LOSE

MONEY.

AND THE LEBANESE GOVERNMENT

CAME TO AN AGREEMENT RECENTLY

THAT WOULD ALLOW CHRISTIAN

FARMERS TO WORK ON THEIR

PROPERTIES DURING CERTAIN TIMES

OF THE WEEK.

JOSEPH SAYS NOT TAKING ANY

CHANCES.

RATHER AFTER CHEATING THAT I

DON'T DARE TO GO TO MY FARM

AGAIN.

GEORGE THOMAS CBN NEWS, SOUTH

LEBANON FIGHTING A MULTI-FRONT

WAR.

THANK YOU GEORGE.

WELL HERE AT HOME AND RESCUE

TEAMS ARE WORKING TO FIND

SURVIVORS OF A MAJOR BRIDGE.

A SPAN OF THE FRANCIS SCOTT KEY

BRIDGE FELL INTO INTO THE WATER

AFTER A CONTAINER SHIP STRUCK

IT EARLY THIS MORNING.

WORKERS WERE ON THE BRIDGE AT

THE TIME AND SEVERAL VEHICLES

PLUNGED INTO HARBOR.

AT LEAST TWO PEOPLE WERE

RESCUED.

AND AUTHORITIES ARE STILL

SEARCHING AT LEAST SEVEN MORE.

OFFICIALS SAY THE SHIP LOST

PROPULSION PRIOR TO IMPACT.

ABSOLUTELY NO THAT THERE'S

ANY TERRORISM THAT THIS WAS

DONE ON PURPOSE.

OUR CRIMINAL INTEL IS WORKING

WITH THE FBI AND OTHER FEDERAL

AND STATE AGENCIES TO GET ALL

THE INTEL THAT WE HAVE WITH

ABSOLUTELY NO INDICATION THAT

IT WAS INTENTIONAL.

FOR UPDATES FROM CBS

NEWS THROUGHOUT THE DAY, JUST

GO TO CBS NEWS.COM.

WELL, TURNING TO FLORIDA AND

THE STATE'S BAN ON SOCIAL FOR

CHILDREN.

GOVERNOR RON DESANTIS SIGNED

ONE OF THE MOST RESTRICTIVE

SOCIAL LAWS IN THE COUNTRY AS

CBS NEWS NATIONAL SECURITY

CORRESPONDENT CAITLIN.

LEGAL CHALLENGES ARE EXPECTED.

IT'S NOT DESIGNED TO ADDRESS

THE CONTENT PER SE MAY RECEIVE

CERTAIN FIRST AMENDMENT

PROTECTIONS BUT IT'S DESIGNED

THE ADDICTIVE QUALITIES THE

ADDICTIVE FEATURES OF SOCIAL.

A CHILD AND THEIR BRAIN

DEVELOPMENT DOESN'T HAVE THE

ABILITY TO KNOW IN TO THESE

ADDICTIVE TECHNOLOGIES.

.

FLORIDA'S NEW LAW KNOWN AS

HB THREE BANS CHILDREN UNDER

FROM CREATING A SOCIAL MEDIA

ACCOUNT AND REQUIRES 15 YEAR

OLDS TO HAVE PARENTAL CONSENT.

YOU CAN HAVE HAVE A KID IN

THE HOUSE SAFE SEEMINGLY.

AND THEN YOU HAVE PREDATORS

THAT CAN GET RIGHT IN THERE

INTO YOUR OWN HOME.

YOU COULD BE DOING EVERYTHING

RIGHT BUT THEY KNOW HOW AND

MANIPULATE THESE DIFFERENT

PLATFORMS.

MELISSA VICE PRESIDENT OF

PROGRAMS FOR PARENTS AND

TELEVISION MEDIA COUNCIL

BELIEVES THIS BILL COULD

WITHSTAND ATTEMPTS BY BIG TECH

TO SHUT IT IT DOWN.

IT'S AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP

AND IF NOTHING ELSE A WARNING

SHOT TO THESE MEDIA COMPANIES

THAT THEY NEED TO CLEAN UP.

WHILE FLORIDA LAWMAKERS

DON'T CALL OUT SPECIFIC TECH

COMPANIES POINT OUT REGULATIONS

WOULD APPLY TO ANY SOCIAL MEDIA

SITE.

USER ACTIVITY ALLOWS CHILDREN

TO UPLOAD CONTENT ADDICTIVE

FEATURES DESIGNED TO CAUSE

COMPULSIVE USE.

STATES INCLUDING ARKANSAS,

CALIFORNIA.

LOUISIANA.

OHIO AND UTAH HAVE PUSHED

SIMILAR BILLS.

BUT OHIO AND ARKANSAS WERE BOTH

BY FEDERAL JUDGES.

LET'S HAVE DIFFERENT STATES TRY

PROPOSALS AND SEE WHICH ONES

ARE THE MOST EFFECTIVE AND ONCE

OUT WHICH WHICH SOLUTIONS ARE

GETTING TO THE HEART OF THE

PROBLEM EFFICIENTLY THEN THAT

CAN BECOME THE MODEL

LEGISLATION TO TO BE ADOPTED IN

OTHER STATES.

THE FLORIDA LAW ALSO

REQUIRES AGE VERIFICATION FOR

PORN SITES.

LEGAL CHALLENGES ARE EXPECTED

AS EARLY AS THIS WEEK.

KAITLIN BURKE, CBN NEWS.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU,

CAITLYN GORDON.

.

BACK TO YOU.

WELL, I APPLAUD THIS LAW AND I

WOULD SAY IT'S HIGH TIME AS AS

A PARENT PLEASE BE AWARE OF A

TERM THAT IS NOW PART OF OUR

LANGUAGE DOOMSCROLLING.

AND WHAT THAT MEANS IS THESE

SITES ARE SO ADDICTIVE THAT

TEENAGERS CHILDREN WILL SPEND

HOURS SCROLLING THROUGH THROUGH

VIDEOS AND YOU CAN NAME THE

SOCIAL MEDIA SITES THAT THEY DO

IT ON.

BUT IT'S ABSOLUTELY

ADDICTIVE.

AND AT THE END OF IT THE

USER HAVING THIS EXPERIENCE

FEELS DRAINED, FEELS AND

CERTAINLY NOTHING PRODUCTIVE

HAS HAPPENED.

THEY'RE GETTING INTO AN

ADDICTIVE BEHAVIOR PATTERN.

AND THE REASON THE COMPANIES

WANT THIS IS THEY KNOW ONCE THE

PATTERN HAS STARTED IT WILL

CONTINUE FOR THEIR LIFETIME AS

.

A PARENT PLEASE EXERCISE

DISCRETION KNOW WHAT YOUR

CHILDREN ARE DOING ONLINE, KNOW

WHAT THEY'RE DOING ON THAT

PHONE.

YOU CAN DELETE APPS.

YOU CAN DO THAT ON YOUR OWN BUT

IT WOULD BE WONDERFUL IF THE

STATE CAME ALONG BESIDE YOU AND

SAID WE'RE GOING TO HOLD THESE

COMPANIES RESPONSIBLE MAKE SURE

THAT AGE RESTRICTIONS ARE

ESTABLISHED.

I DON'T SEE ANYTHING IN THE

CONSTITUTION THAT PREVENTS A

STATE FROM PROTECTING CHILDREN

AND AND THAT'S THE BOTTOM LINE

STAY CONNECTED CBN NEWS ALL DAY

ACROSS OUR PLATFORMS.

ONE YEAR AGO TRAGEDY STRUCK

NASHVILLE STUDENT OPENED FIRE

AT A CHRISTIAN SCHOOL KILLING

KILLING SIX PEOPLE INCLUDING

THREE STUDENTS OF RECENTLY

SHARLENE AARON SPOKE TO A GROUP

OF GRIEVING FAMILIES WHO ARE

TAKING TO KEEP SCHOOLS SAFER

WHILE MEMORIES OF THE COVENANT

SCHOOL SHOOTING CONTINUE TO

LINGER ACROSS NASHVILLE.

THEIR GRIEF INTO A TANGIBLE

ACTION PLAN TO KEEP SCHOOLS AND

STUDENTS SAFE.

LET'S GO BODY CAM VIDEO

SHOWS NASHVILLE POLICE ENTERING

THE SCHOOL RAISING TOWARD

GUNFIRE TO CONFRONT AND TAKE

DOWN THE SHOOTER AUDREY HEIL.

IN THE END THE SHOOTING LEFT

THREE COVENANT STUDENTS, THREE

STAFF MEMBERS DEAD.

MARY JOYCE AND MELISSA WHOSE

CHILDREN ATTEND THE SCHOOL

RECALLED THE DAY FEELING OF

COMPLETE HELPLESSNESS ON THAT

DAY AND TRYING TRYING TO DO

ANYTHING TO GET TO MY CHILD.

THEY COULD HEAR ALL OF THE

GUNSHOTS AND THEY ATE THE

CHILDREN SOME OF THEM.

ONE GRABBED THE BIBLE AND

STARTED PRAYING IN THEIR MINDS

AS.

THEY WAITED IN THAT MOMENT

HEARING WHAT WAS GOING ON THEM.

THEY WERE PREPARING TO BE

NEXT.

THEIR KIDS STILL THE TRAUMA A

YEAR LATER.

NINE YEAR OLD NOW TEN YEAR

OLD, SHE JUST TURNED TEN A

COUPLE WEEKS AGO DOESN'T SLEEP

IN HER OWN BED YET SHE STILL

HAS NIGHTMARES.

SHE IS ANGRY DURING THE DAY

OVER LITTLE THINGS AND.

THAT'S NOT OUR THAT'S NOT OUR

CHILD.

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO PARENT

THAT.

ANDERSON SAYS HER SON GRADER

AT THE TIME REFUSES TO OPEN UP

ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

THAT IS HEARTBREAKING IN

ITSELF BECAUSE I DON'T WANT

WHAT HE EXPERIENCED ON THAT

SECOND FLOOR TO BE LOCKED UP

INSIDE OF HIM.

COVENANT FATHER OF THREE

BRANT LEATHERWOOD WE NOW KNOW

THAT THAT EVIL THAT DAY CAME

VERY, VERY CLOSE TO TWO OF OUR

CHILDREN AND.

THAT'S THAT'S HARD TO LIVE

WITH A BOND THESE PARENTS ALL.

THAT GRIEF REALLY CAME OVER

ME IN A WAVE AGO WHEN I WAS

SITTING DOWN WITH ANOTHER

MOTHER IN HER HOME AND WE WERE

TALKING ABOUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED

WERE TOGETHER THAT DAY AND IT

JUST THAT I HADN'T SEEN BECAUSE

I TRY TO HOLD THOSE BACK WHEN

I'M IN PUBLIC.

THOSE EMOTIONS CAME OVER ME AND

I WAS JUST JUST ANGRY THAT I

HAVE THIS LIFE.

I'M ANGRY FOR OUR COMMUNITY.

THAT ANGER DRIVING FORCE BEHIND

A PUSH FOR GUN LAW CHANGES AND

SAFE SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE.

LAST AUGUST TENNESSEE,

REPUBLICAN GOVERNOR BILL LEE

CALLED A SPECIAL SESSION TO THE

ISSUE.

WE SAY LOOK, WE ARE

CONCERNED OF CHRISTIAN FAMILIES

WHO I MYSELF GUN OWNER OUR

FAMILIES ARE GUN OWNERS AND WE

OWN GUNS SAFER GUN LAWS.

THOSE TWO CAN CO-EXIST.

WE BELIEVE WHAT WE'RE ASKING IS

IN LINE WITH THE SECOND

AMENDMENT.

NO MEANINGFUL LEGISLATION

PASSED IN THE SPECIAL SESSION.

WITH NEARLY 350 U.S. SCHOOL

SHOOTINGS IN 2023, SHE ARGUES

THE INACTION SENDS MIXED

MESSAGES TO KIDS.

CHILDREN WE ARE GOING TO

SEND YOU TO TO LEARN AND LEARN

ABOUT OUR COUNTRY.

BUT YOU MIGHT DIE TODAY IN

THIS CLASSROOM THAT THAT YOU'RE

LEARNING IN AND YOUR DESK MIGHT

BE BLOWN TO SHREDS AND YOU

MIGHT BE IN A WAR ZONE AND SOME

OF YOUR FRIENDS MIGHT DIE AND

YOU MAY DIE.

LEATHERWOOD WOOD, FORMER

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE

TENNESSEE REPUBLICAN PARTY AND

SOUTHERN BAPTIST CONVENTION

LEADER, SAYS THE SHOOTING HAS

DEEPENED HIS.

SO I DON'T WANT TO SAY I'M

IN THE SAME SHOES AS JOBE BUT I

THINK I'M ASKING SOME OF THOSE

SAME QUESTIONS THAT JOB WAS AND

I THINK THAT'S THAT'S OKAY

BECAUSE I THINK OUR GOD IS BIG

ENOUGH TO HANDLE OUR QUESTIONS

.

HE ALSO CALLS FOR URGENT

ACTION.

THIS IS A PLACE WHERE I

PERSONALLY HELPED AS A STAFF

MEMBER USHER THROUGH

SIGNIFICANT PRO-LIFE

LEGISLATION.

I THINK IF WE WANT TO BE

CONSISTENT WITH THAT PRO-LIFE

ETHIC THE SAME ENERGY AND

EARNEST ACTION THAT WE DO ON

BEHALF OF THAT VULNERABLE CHILD

IN THE WE NEED TO ALSO DO FOR

THAT VULNERABLE CHILD IN.

WELL COVID IT STUDENTS HAVE

BEEN ATTENDING CLASSES OFF

CAMPUS PLANS ARE TO REOPEN THE

BUILDING AS EASTER APPROACHES

AS MANY HOLD ON TO THE HOPE OF

THE GOSPEL BY PRAY FOR HEALING.

I WE SHOW WITNESS TO OTHER

COMMUNITIES THAT THERE IS

HEALING AND THERE IS ALSO

PURPOSE IN THE PAIN AND THAT

BEAUTIFUL THING CAN COME OUT OF

WHAT HAPPENED AND IN SUCH A

HORRIBLE TRAGIC SITUATION.

CHARLENE AARON, CBN NEWS,

NASHVILLE TENNESSEE.

WELL ONE OF THE THINGS I

HOPE HAPPENS HORRIBLE TRAGEDY

IS AND WHETHER IT'S A SCHOOL OR

LAKEWOOD OR ANY OF THE RECENT

SHOOTINGS THE SYNAGOGUE IN

PITTSBURGH THERE NEEDS TO BE

RED FLAG LAWS.

AND IF YOU'RE UNDER PSYCHIATRIC

CARE THERE OUGHT TO BE A FLAG.

YOU SHOULD NOT NEVER OWN AN

ASSAULT RIFLE.

AND I THINK THAT'S AN EASY ONE

TO GET THROUGH.

CAN WE AT LEAST GET THAT ONE

THROUGH THAT IF IN MENTAL CARE

THAT BE ANYWHERE NEAR A FIREARM

AND THAT THAT SHOULD BE AN

ABSOLUTE RULE.

HOW MANY TIMES DO WE HAVE TO

HAVE THESE SHOOTINGS?

HOW MANY TIMES DO HAVE MOVIE

THEATERS IN COLORADO SHOT UP BY

SOMEBODY WHO WAS AN ACT OF

TREATMENT AND THEIR

PSYCHIATRIST WAS ALARMED AT

WHAT THEY WERE HEARING IN THEIR

SESSIONS?

THAT ALARM NEEDS TO TRANSLATE

INTO ACTION AND NEEDS TO BE

QUICK THAT IF THEY OWN ANY ANY

FIREARMS THEY'RE THEY'RE TAKEN

FROM THEM IF THEY HAVE AN

INKLING TO GO TO A GUN SHOW AND

BUY THERE NEEDS TO BE A FLAG

THAT NO YOU DON'T GET TO

PURCHASE ONE THAT I THINK IS A

BASIC I DON'T THINK WITH

ANYBODY'S SECOND AMENDMENT

RIGHTS IF YOU'RE UNDER MENTAL

OUR FAMILY OF PRODUCTS AT MAJOR

ONLINE RETAILERS DIDI WAS

TRADED FOR SEX AND TRAPPED IN A

NIGHTMARE FOR YEARS LOOKED FOR

A WAY OUT OF THE TERRIBLE LIFE

SHE WAS LIVING.

AND THEN ONE DAY WHILE

PANHANDLING ON THE STREETS SHE

WHO GAVE HER MUCH MORE THAN

JUST POCKET CHANGE THESE PEOPLE

ARE SUPPOSED TO LOVE YOU AND

PROTECT, PROTECT YOU AND RAISE

YOU AND TAKE CARE OF YOU AND

FOR SOMEONE THAT'S SUPPOSED TO

DO THAT TO BE HURTING YOU IN IN

A WAY THAT STEALS YOUR

CHILDHOOD, YOUR INNOCENCE IS

EXTREMELY TRAUMATIZING.

GIGI CALLED CANO A CHILD

WHEN HER ADOPTIVE PARENTS BEGAN

SEXUALLY ABUSING HER AND HER

BROTHER WHO WAS ALSO ADOPTED.

IT DIDN'T STOP THERE.

ABUSE A BIG PART OF MY

CHILDHOOD AS WELL.

I I WENT SOMEWHERE ELSE

MENTALLY I BLANKED IT OUT AND

WHATEVER WAS HAPPENING TO MY

BODY WAS NOT HAPPENING TO MY

MIND TO EVERYONE ELSE.

HER PARENTS WERE UPSTANDING

NEIGHBORS WHO WELL FOR THEIR

CHILDREN AND TOOK THEM TO MASS

REGULARLY.

I REALLY THOUGHT THAT THAT GOD

WAS NOT CONCERNED ABOUT ME.

I THOUGHT HE WAS FOR OTHER AND

THAT THIS WAS MY LIFE.

WAS IN HER TEENS.

HER BROTHER ALSO BEGAN SEXUALLY

ABUSING HER.

SHE WAS TRAPPED IN A NIGHTMARE

BUT DIDN'T SEE A WAY OUT AND

NEIGHBORS NOBODY WANTED TO GET

INVOLVED.

NOBODY WANTED TO HELP.

EVERYONE TURNED A BLIND EYE SO

I FELT SO ALONE.

SO I SLIT MY WRIST AND ENDED UP

BEING TAKEN TO A 72 HOUR HOLD

FOR AN EVALUATION.

AFTER HIGH SCHOOL MOVED OUT

AND LIVED WITH FRIENDS AND ON

THE STREET.

BY THEN BY THEN SHE WAS

ADDICTED TO DRUGS AND ALCOHOL

COCAINE, HEROIN HAD.

I TOOK IT AND DIDN'T ASK ANY

QUESTIONS.

THEN THEN A FRIEND TOLD HER HOW

SHE COULD MAKE GOOD MONEY AND

HAVE ACCESS TO THE DRUGS SHE

WANTED BY STRIPPING AND MINE

SAID SHE'D INTRODUCE ME TO THE

OWNER.

I WAS SO WAS SO NAIVE WHEN I

WAS 21 AT THAT POINT I DIDN'T

KNOW THAT SHE WAS RECRUITING ME

.

HE WAS A TRAFFICKER.

FOR SEVERAL YEARS SHE WAS WAS

IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE

OWNER WHO GIFTED HER WITH LOTS

OF CLOTHES AND JEWELRY BUT ALSO

LATER PIMPED HER OUT.

I I WAS IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA

OF GETTING OUT OF THE LIFE I

HAD.

I WAS IN WITH SOMEONE TAKING

CARE OF ME AND PROTECTING ME

AND FINALLY THINGS FOR ME THAT

I COULDN'T PROVIDE FOR MYSELF.

HE EVENTUALLY GOT BORED WITH

HER AND KICKED HER BACK OUT ON

THE STREETS.

GIGI THEN LANDED IN JAIL FOR

FALSIFYING A PRESCRIPTION AND

CONDUCT.

SHE WAS ORDERED INTO WHAT

HAPPENED TO BE A FAITH BASED

PROGRAM.

I DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS A

CHRISTIAN REHAB WHEN WHEN I

WENT TO REGISTER GAVE ME A LIFE

RECOVERY BIBLE AND.

I STARTED READING IT ON MY

OWN.

I REMEMBER WE LOVE BECAUSE HE

FIRST LOVED US.

THAT WAS THE FIRST VERSE

THAT I READ IT IT JUST HIT MY

HEART.

I WAS LOVED BY BY GOD.

DESPITE THIS EXPERIENCE SHE

RELAPSED SOON AFTER LEAVING

REHAB.

AGAIN SHE WOULD FALL INTO

THE THE HANDS OF ANOTHER SEX

TRAFFICKER A WOMAN SHE CALLS

CAT WHO BEFRIENDED HER.

SHE WAS A BIG CONTROLLER AND

USER A LOT.

SHE TOOK MY ID, MY BIRTH

CERTIFICATE, THE MONEY I HAD

NOTHING.

I WAS STRICTLY TO MAKE MONEY

FOR HER BENEFIT.

ONE DAY GIGI WAS PANHANDLING

FOR MONEY IN MEMPHIS WHEN

SOMEONE GAVE HER SOME MONEY AND

THEN INVITED HER TO CHURCH.

IT TURNED OUT TO BE A PASTOR.

HE PAID FOR MY MOTEL ROOM

UNTIL I COULD GET MY PAYCHECK

AND THAT THAT SUNDAY HE

ARRANGED A RIDE FOR ME TO COME

TO CHURCH AND SUNDAY SCHOOL I

WAS TAKEN TO LUNCH AND PROVIDED

FOR.

IT WAS THE LOVE.

GIGI BEGAN ATTENDING THE CHURCH

AND AND HEARD MORE ABOUT THE

LOVE SHE'D READ ABOUT YEARS

EARLIER IN IN REHAB.

GOD STARTED SPEAKING TO ME

AND I JOURNALING LISTENING TO

THE WORD ALL THE TIME.

.

THE CHURCH MEMBERS HELPED

RESCUE GIGI FROM CAT AND ALSO

HELPED HER FIND A JOB.

17 SHE SURRENDERED HER LIFE TO

CHRIST.

JUST WANTED TO HEAR GOD SAY

I'M HERE.

I I DELIVERED YOU.

I'LL KEEP YOU SAFE.

AND HE DID.

AND I STARTED THINKING ABOUT

GETTING BAPTIZED AND.

MY WHOLE CHURCH GATHERED AROUND

THE SWIMMING POOL AND I GOT

BAPTIZED.

I FEEL LIKE WHEN I CAME UP OUT

OF THAT WATER I WAS OFFICIALLY

A NEW CREATION AND THAT THAT

WAS WASHING AWAY EVERYTHING

THAT HAD HAPPENED AND THAT

JESUS DEFINED ME NOT MY PAST.

TODAY HAS A CHURCH FAMILY

THAT LOVES HER GOOD JOB AS AND

HOPES TO WRITE THE STORY OF

WHAT JESUS HAS DONE FOR HER AND

MATTHEW SAYS COME TO ME AND

I'LL GIVE YOU REST 0UA WEARY

AND HEAVY BURDEN.

WELL DONE THAT.

I MEAN SHE WALKS IN THE SPIRIT

AND IT'S A BEAUTIFUL FLOW TO

SEE GOD MANIFEST HIMSELF IN HER

LIFE AND IT'S CONTAGIOUS.

NO MATTER WHAT YOU'VE BEEN

THROUGH LIFE JESUS IS BIGGER.

NO MATTER WHAT YOUR STORY HAS

BEEN LIKE WITH JESUS, YOUR

STORY IS NOT DONE.

YOUR STORY BECOMES HIS STORY

GOD'S MADE PROMISES.

YOU KNOW HE HAS SAID WHEN YOU

COME TO ME AND I'M HERE, I'M

AVAILABLE I'M ASKING YOU TO

COME TO ME AND I'LL TAKE THE

BURDENS ALL THE PAIN, ALL

THAT'S TO YOU AND I'LL REDEEM

IT.

YOU KNOW WHAT IT MEANS TO TO

REDEEM.

IT MEANS HE TAKES IT.

HE TAKES BACK WHAT'S BEEN

STOLEN FROM YOU.

YOUR VALUE.

THAT'S ONE OF THE THINGS THAT

HAPPENED TO.

SHE JUST FELT LIKE HAD NO VALUE

AND UNDERSTANDABLY BETRAYED

AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND

MISUSED AGAIN AND AGAIN AND

AGAIN.

YOU KNOW SOMEONE IS IN A

SCENARIO LIKE THAT GOD TO THEM

ALWAYS AND TO YOU AS WELL

WHATEVER YOUR SITUATION BE.

HIS ARMS ARE STRETCHED OUT TO.

HIS SPIRIT IS CALLING YOU ALL

OF THE TIME BUT.

THE WORLD OVER HERE VERY NOISY,

VERY NOISY AND THEY'RE THOSE

PEOPLE HOVERING AROUND YOU WHO

WANT TO USE AND ABUSE YOU BUT

YOU CAN STEP OUTSIDE OF THAT.

ONE OF THE THINGS JESUS SAID IN

HER STORY THAT I THOUGHT WAS SO

GREAT WAS AS SHE CAME TO KNOW

GOD AND TO BELIEVE THAT GOD

LOVED HER AND THAT SHE HAD

VALUE SHE JUST WANTED TO HEAR

MORE FROM HIM.

SHE GOT INTO SHE DIDN'T HAVE

SOME, YOU KNOW, HIGHLY EDUCATED

PREACHER SHARING WITH HER THE

GOSPEL AND SHE TOOK THE WORD OF

GOD AND SHE OPENED IT AND SHE

BEGAN TO READ IT FOR HERSELF.

WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGE AND THE

ABILITY OF DOING IN OUR

COUNTRY.

IT'S IT'S VERY EASY TO GET A

BIBLE AND TO READ THE WORD OF

GOD.

IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE THAT, I

JUST WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO

TO DO THAT IT TO READ IT AND TO

UNDERSTAND THAT THOSE PROMISES

IN THERE ARE FOR YOU BECAUSE

WE'RE HIS CHILDREN.

GOD LOVES US WITH AN

EVERLASTING LOVE.

HE HE IS THE PARENT, IF YOU

WILL, WHO'S NEVER GOING TO

BETRAY WHO'S NEVER GOING TO

DISAPPOINT, WHO'S ALWAYS GOING

TO BE THERE.

THE BIBLE SAYS HE'S THE SAME

YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER.

HE NEVER.

YOU SEE PEOPLE SOMETIMES THEY

CHANGE BECAUSE OF CIRCUMSTANCES

THAT HAVE HAPPENED TO THEM TO

THEM THAT THEY CHANGE BECAUSE

SOMETIMES THEY HAVE EVIL

INTENTIONS AND SOMETIMES WE ARE

THE VICTIMS OF THAT BUT WE

DON'T HAVE TO STAY VICTIMS.

THE BIBLE SAYS WHEN WE HAVE

CHRIST WE BECOME NOT VICTIMS

BUT VICTORS.

IF YOU'D LIKE THAT TODAY YOU

CAN COME TO JESUS RIGHT NOW YOU

KNOW YOU DON'T YOU CAN'T.

IT'S NOT THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO

DO ANYTHING.

YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO EARN

SALVATION.

IT'S BEEN EARNED FOR YOU.

JESUS PAID THAT PRICE ON THE

2000 YEARS AGO AND SO IT'S FREE

FOR THE ASKING.

YOU'VE GIVEN EVERYTHING ELSE IN

YOUR LIFE A CHANCE A CHANCE.

WHY DON'T YOU GIVE HIM A CHANCE

AS WELL?

JUST COME TO HIM RIGHT NOW

LET'S PRAY TOGETHER I'LL PRAY

WITH YOU JESUS I AM LOST.

I AM DOING THINGS I KNOW I

SHOULDN'T BE DOING THINGS HAVE

BEEN DONE TO ME THAT EMBITTERED

ME HARDENED MY HEART MADE ME

PRAYING GRANDMA.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR

SITTING DOWN AND CHATTING WITH

ME.

I REALLY REALLY JUST WANTED TO

TALK TO YOU ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL

JOURNEY OF FAITH.

WHEN DID YOU COME TO THE

LORD?

I WAS SENIOR IN HIGH SCHOOL.

I SAID TO CHRIST SEPTEMBER

FIFTH 27 WEDNESDAY NIGHT AND I

WENT BECAUSE THIS FAMILY FRIEND

SAID HE BUY ME A SMOOTHIE IF I

WOULD GO TO CHURCH.

I WENT THAT NIGHT AND GAVE MY

LIFE TO CHRIST AND I NEVER

THOUGHT HE PROBABLY NEVER

THOUGHT I NEVER THOUGHT I'D BE

HERE TODAY.

OH MY GOD.

THAT NIGHT CHANGED MY LIFE

FOREVER.

YEAH.

SO DID YOU COME FROM LIKE A

CHRISTIAN?

WERE YOUR PARENTS

CHRISTIANS, GRANDPARENTS?

SO MY GREAT GREAT GRANDFATHER

ELISA MENDEZ PLANTED FIVE

CHURCHES.

MY GRANDMA WAS WAS A BELIEVER

AND THEN IT KIND OF SKIPPED

OVER MY FATHER.

MY FATHER WAS IS STILL NOT A

BELIEVER.

BUT THEY BELIEVE YOU WILL BE.

YEAH.

YEAH.

AND I GOT SAVED AND SO I.

I ALWAYS FEEL LIKE GOD HONORED

GREAT GRANDFATHER WITH NOT

LETTING THAT LEGACY DIE.

YOU GOT GOT TO PRAY.

AND GRANDMAMA, I DO I HAVE A

PRAYING GRANDMA MY.

YOU KNOW MY GRANDMOTHER WAS

PRAYING GRANDMA THAT WOULD PUT

OIL AND EVERYTHING WOW OIL ON

THE DOOR POST THE DOOR HANDLES

COULD EVEN OPEN UP THE DOOR

HANDLE SO MUCH OIL OIL ON IT

SHE BE REGULAR AT THREE IN THE

MORNING WITH A BLANKET WITH A

BLANKET YOU KNOW, PRAYING IN A

FUNNY LANGUAGE.

YEAH THAT WAS MY GRANDMA SO SHE

WOULD ALWAYS SPEAK TO ME ABOUT

GOD.

IT WAS ACTUALLY HER WORDS THAT

I REMEMBERED WHEN I ACCEPTED

CHRIST I SAID YOU'RE REAL.

YOU KNOW MY GRANDMA TALKS ABOUT

YOU BUT IF YOU'RE REAL I DARE

ME.

AND I JUST FELT THIS THIS THIS

LOVE HIT ME IN A MOMENT AND I

JUST BEGIN TO WEEP WEEP

UNCONTROLLABLY IN THE BACK OF

THIS ROOM.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW KNOW THE GUY THAT

BROUGHT ME IS LIKE YOU KNOW, HE

BRINGS YOU UP TO THE FRONT AND

I ACCEPT CHRIST THAT NIGHT AND

I GO GO HOME AND I JUST START

THROWING EVERYTHING IN MY ROOM

AWAY IN GARBAGE BAGS.

I JUST INSTANTANEOUS

CONVICTION, INSTANTANEOUS

GRATITUDE INSTANTANEOUS LOVE

AND I REMEMBER PRAYING IN THAT

THROUGHOUT THAT WEEK JUST

SAYING GOD, I'M GOING TO FOLLOW

YOU BUT I JUST DON'T WANT TO

SIT ON AND DO AND DO NOTHING

WITH MY WITH MY WITH MY MY

LIFE.

WHAT DID IT LOOK LIKE TO

TRULY FOLLOW JESUS AFTER YOU

GOT GOT SAVED?

THERE WAS NO MINISTRY AMBITIONS

FOR ME.

THERE WAS NO THERE WASN'T ANY

GOALS THAT I HAD LITTLE BIT GOD

IN SOMETHING SMALL YOU KNOW I

REMEMBER I KNOW I REMEMBER I

GOT SAVED I DID A SEVEN DAY

WATER FAST.

I DIDN'T KNOW YOU WEREN'T

SUPPOSED TO DO THAT IT LOST £30

YOU KNOW IT JUST I WAS WOW SOON

MY BIBLE JUST NONSTOP IT WITH

ME AND EVERY SECOND I GOT I

MEAN I WAS POSSESSED WITH WITH

A PURSUIT OF GOD I WAS

POSSESSED WITH THIS LONGING TO

SEE HIM RIGHT.

TEN BOOKS ON MY MISTAKES.

YOU KNOW I QUIT A THOUSAND

TIMES, YOU KNOW?

YEAH.

SOMETIMES GRAB GRAB MY BIBLE,

THROW IT ON THE FLOOR.

I CAN'T DO THIS ANYMORE THAN 2

SECONDS LATER.

GO PICK IT UP.

I'M YOU KNOW, IT WAS THIS

CONSTANT SURRENDERING BUT I

THINK IN THOSE YEARS I LEARNED

WHAT COVENANT WAS AND I THINK A

LOT OF TIMES WE DON'T SEE

SALVATION IS COMING.

IT BUT IT IS AND IT LEANS MORE

ON HIS ABILITY TO FULFILL THAN

OUR ABILITY TO FULFILL OURS AND

COVENANT IS NEVER MADE.

IT'S MADE FOR THE HARD TIMES.

AND SO I THINK FOR ME MY

COVENANT WITH GOD WAS FOR EVERY

ONE OF THOSE TIMES I WANTED TO

QUIT.

WELL, YOU ACTUALLY STARTED

SOMETHING JESUS CLUBS WHERE YOU

WERE GOING INTO HIGH SCHOOLS

TALKING TO THE STUDENTS GETTING

PEOPLE SAVED BAPTIZED TO TALK

ABOUT LIKE THE GENESIS OF ALL

OF THAT AND WHERE IT HAS LED TO

TODAY WITH YOU BEING ONE OF THE

CO-FOUNDERS OF GEN Z FOR JESUS.

COUNTRIES WE'VE TRAINED IN THE

LAST COUPLE OF YEARS THOUSANDS

OF OF STUDENTS.

I JUST HEARD GOD SAY GO TO

SCHOOL.

I WENT TO THE SCHOOL AND IT

WOULD WOULD GROW.

I'D HEARD HIM SAY GO TO ANOTHER

SCHOOL, GO TO THAT SCHOOL IT

WOULD GROW.

SO THERE SO THERE WAS NEVER ANY

SORT OF LONG TERM PLAN IF YOU

WERE TO LOOK AT MY LIFE BACK IN

THAT TIME THERE WAS NOTHING

THAT WAS SUCCESSFUL ABOUT IT

EXCEPT MY OBEDIENCE TO GOD AS

BEST AS I COULD AND.

THERE'S TONS OF THINGS I

WOULD PLAY OUT AND DIFFERENT

BUT I'M THANKFUL THAT I JUST

WOULD DO MY BEST JUST TO DO

WHAT HE SAID AND EVENTUALLY TO

WHAT WE KNOW AS A JESUS CLUBS

TODAY TALK ABOUT THAT A LITTLE

BIT.

I FEEL LIKE THE YOUNGER

GENERATIONS TODAY I THINK THINK

SOCIAL MEDIA CONTRIBUTES A LOT

TO IT BUT THEY THINK THAT

FOLLOWING JESUS MEANS IT HAS TO

LOOK A CERTAIN WAY AND IF IT'S

NOT SUCCESSFUL THEN GOD'S OUT

OF IT.

I MEAN YOU I MEAN FROM THE

OUTSIDE IT DIDN'T LOOK

SUCCESSFUL BUT WHAT MATTERED

WAS YOUR YES.

YEAH.

YOU KNOW I'VE LEARNED THAT GOD

DOESN'T DO THINGS IN MINUTES,

SECONDS, HOURS, DAYS OR OR EVEN

MONTHS.

HE DOES IT IN YEARS AND

DECADES.

WOW.

AND I THINK THAT THAT THAT IS

THE DANGER.

ALTHOUGH I'M A MAJOR ADVOCATE

OF SOCIAL MEDIA THE DANGER OF

SOCIAL MEDIA TODAY IS IT'S

DISPLAYING SOMEONE'S 30 YEARS

AS HAPPENED IN IN 30 DAYS YOU

GETTING YOUNG GUYS THAT ARE

GETTING FAME VERY QUICKLY AND

THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

REGURGITATING INFORMATION AND

SPEAKING REVELATION WOW ANYONE

CAN REGURGITATE A SERMON THEY

HEARD OR READ PREACH SOMETHING.

THE REVELATION IS THAT

INFORMATION BEEN LEFT AND

TESTED AND THERE'S THERE'S

THERE'S TIME IT'S LOCKED.

AND SO I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOUNG

PEOPLE TO GET OF WHAT

EVERYONE'S DOING BECAUSE THAT

MAY NOT BE NOT BE WHAT WHAT GOD

WANTS FOR THEM TO DO.

AMEN.

YEAH THANK YOU SO MUCH, BRIAN.

THANKS FOR SITTING IN CHAT WITH

ME.

I'VE KNOWN BRIAN FOR SOME

TIME AND HAVE GOD USE HIS

SURRENDER AND HIS TESTIMONY AND

GROW HIS ABILITY TO SHARE THE

GOSPEL WITH THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE

AND NOW ALL AROUND THE WORLD.

HIS LATEST BOOK IS CALLED

CALLED DON'T SCROLL EVANGELISM

IN THE DIGITAL AGE AND IT'S

AVAILABLE WHEREVER BOOKS ARE

SOLD BUT GOD BLESS HIM AND THE

WORK IS DOING WITH PEOPLE AND

AMEN YES BUT WE'VE, BUT WE'VE

GOT TIME FOR SOME E MAIL.

SO HERE WE GO.

THIS IS JAMES WHO SAYS HI

GORDON.

I HAVE A QUESTION ABOUT EASTER

2024.

IT'S BEING CELEBRATED ON MARCH

31ST, PASSOVER WON'T BE

CELEBRATED UNTIL LATER IN

APRIL.

SEEING THAT THAT THE PASSOVER

SUPPER IS INTEGRAL TO THE

EASTER STORY.

WHY ARE WE MARKING THESE TWO

OCCASIONS A MONTH APART?

SHOULDN'T WE GET THE CHRISTIAN

ALIGNED WITH THE HEBREW ONE BOY

I DARE START WITH A VERY EASY

QUESTION.

TAKE IT AWAY.

I ACTUALLY HAD MY JEWISH

DENTIST YESTERDAY ASK ME THE

SAME QUESTION YOU KNOW

SHOULDN'T PASSOVER AND EASTER

BE THE SAME BECAUSE?

THE LAST SUPPER IS A PASSOVER

SUPPER AND I SAID RIGHT AND I

AGREE WITH YOU WE SHOULD HAVE

KEPT TO THE HEBREW CALENDAR SO

THAT THE FEAST BIBLICAL PHASE A

LINE UP ON OUR CALENDAR AT THE

SAME TIME BUT THAT DIDN'T

HAPPEN.

THE HEBREW CALENDAR IS

WHAT'S CALLED A LUNISOLAR

CALENDAR IS BASED ON THE PHASES

OF THE MOON.

THE ROMAN WAS BASED ON THE SUN

AND HOW THE EARTH TRAVELS

AROUND THE SUN IN 365 DAYS SO

AS A RESULT OF THE CHURCH BEING

IN ROME AND CONSTANTINOPLE

LATER EVERYBODY FOLLOWED THE

ROMAN CALENDAR.

BUT I WISH IT WERE THAT SIMPLE

BECAUSE THERE WAS A POPE

GREGORY WHO WAS SHOWN BY

MATHEMATICIANS.

THINGS WERE OFF A LITTLE BIT

AND SO WE NEEDED NEEDED TO HAVE

LEAP YEARS AND SO HE CREATED

THE GREGORIAN CALENDAR AND THAT

WAS THE CALENDAR THAT WESTERN

CIVILIZATION ADOPTED IT IN THE

EAST AND CONSTANTINOPLE THEY

KEPT WITH THE JULIAN CALENDAR

AND SO THAT'S WHY YOU SEE THE

EASTERN ORTHODOX CHURCHES

CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS ON JANUARY

SIX AND ON THE WEST WE

CELEBRATED IT ON DECEMBER 25TH

AND EASTER ACTUALLY DIFFERENT

DAYS DEPENDING ON WHICH CHURCH

YOU GO TO TO.

SO NOT ONLY HAVE WE DIVERGED

FROM THE HEBREW CALENDAR, WE'VE

ALSO DIVERGED FROM EACH OTHER

SO.

IT ALL DEPENDS ON HOW YOU COUNT

DATES AND THAT'S BUT I'M IN

AGREEMENT THAT WE OUGHT TO GO

BACK HEBREW CALENDAR BUT I

DON'T HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE

TIMES AND I KNOW THE BIBLE

VERSE ABOUT SOMEBODY THAT'S

GOING TO COME AND TRY AND TRY

TO CHANGE DATES AND TIMES AND

I'M NOT PARTICULARLY IN FAVOR

OF THAT SO WE'LL JUST LIVE WITH

IT THE WAY THAT THIS IS BETTER

SAYS I KNOW YOU'RE ALL BIG FANS

OF THE SHOWS AND I ALSO KNOW

WE'RE TAUGHT TO NEVER ADD OR

TAKE AWAY FROM.

DON'T GET ME WRONG I LOVE

ANYTHING THAT WILL HELP LEAD

PEOPLE TO JESUS BUT IT SEEMS

LIKE THE CHOSEN ADDS A LOT OF

STORYLINE THAT DOESN'T COME

DIRECTLY FROM THE BIBLE AND I

WAS TAUGHT THAT'S REALLY WRONG

.

CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT

THE RULES ARE WHEN IT COMES TO

THE SCRIPTURES AND ENTERTAIN

BUT I WAS ALWAYS TOLD TO NEVER

ADD OR TAKE AWAY WELL THERE'S A

SPECIFIC BOOK, THE BOOK OF

REVELATION THAT SAYS DON'T ADD

OR TAKE FROM THOSE.

THERE'S ALSO A PASSAGE IN

DANIEL THAT REFERS

THING IT'S SPECIFIC TO THOSE

SPECIFIC PROPHECIES WHEN YOU

LOOK AT THE GOSPEL AS A WHOLE

I'M AMAZED THAT THE CHOSEN IS

GETTING THIS KIND OF NEGATIVITY

OR OTHER IT'S SCRIPTURAL THAT

ANGEL STUDIOS IS IS RUN BY

MORMONS AND ALL OF THIS.

WHAT ABOUT THE ROBE WHAT ABOUT

BEN-HUR?

WHAT ABOUT PRINCE OF OF EGYPT?

THEY ALL ADDED TO THE STORYLINE

AND WE'RE NOT SEEING ANY

CRITICISM OF THEM.

HERE'S A WORD FROM PSALMS HE
