ON TODAY'S 700 CLUB WELCOME TO

THE 700 CLUB.

THE ISRAELI MILITARY AND THE

GOVERNMENT ARE IN THEIR GOAL OF

FINISHING OFF HAMAS.

THAT'S THE WORD FROM BOTH SIDES

AFTER HEADLINE SAYING THE TWO

WERE DIVIDED OVER THEIR TO END

THE WAR.

MEANWHILE ISRAEL CONTINUES

FACE FIRE FROM HEZBOLLAH IN THE

NORTH.

THE TERRORIST GROUP HAS SO

MISSILES ISRAEL'S IRON DOME

DEFENSE SYSTEM MAY BE

OVERWHELMED.

JULIE STAHL HAS THE STORY

FROM JERUSALEM.

THE IDF'S MAIN SPOKESMAN

DANIEL HAGGARTY APPEARED TO

QUESTION ISRAEL'S ABILITY TO

WIPE OUT HAMAS IN INTERVIEW

WITH ISRAELI CHANNEL 13.

HAMAS HAMAS IS AN IDEA.

WHOEVER THINKS WE CAN ELIMINATE

HAMAS IS WRONG, HE SAID.

THE WAY PALESTINIANS IN GAZA

THINK ABOUT ISRAELIS HAS TO

CHANGE OR THE VIOLENCE WILL

CONTINUE.

THIS BUSINESS OF DESTROYING

HAMAS MAKING HAMAS DISAPPEAR

IT'S SIMPLY SAND IN THE EYES OF

THE PUBLIC.

IF WE DON'T BRING SOMETHING

ELSE TO GAZA THEN AT THE END OF

THE DAY WE WILL GET HAMAS.

THE IDF PUT OUT A FOLLOW UP

STATEMENT SAYING HAGAR WAS

TALKING HOW HARD IT IS TO

ERADICATE HAMAS AS AN IDEOLOGY

AND AN IDEA AND ADDED THE

MILITARY IS BEHIND THE ISRAELI

GOVERNMENT'S GOAL OF WIPING OUT

HAMAS'S ABILITY TO PHYSICALLY

GOVERN OR FIGHT.

THE PRIME MINISTER'S OFFICE THE

IDF IS OF COURSE COMMITTED TO

THIS GOAL AND A HOLD ON ITS

MANTLE.

WE WILL NOT LEAVE THE GAZA

STRIP UNTIL WE RETURN ALL OUR

HOSTAGES.

BOTH THE LIVING AND THE

DEAD WE'RE DOING THIS MISSION

AND ALSO MANY OTHER MISSIONS.

FOR NOW BETTER TO BE SILENT

ABOUT IT BUT SAD NEWS ABOUT THE

REPORTEDLY LEFT IN GAZA.

THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTS

U.S. OFFICIALS SUGGEST AS FEW

AS 50 OF THEM MAY STILL BE

ALIVE.

AND A NEW DEVELOPMENT IN

ANOTHER CONTROVERSY THAT'S BEEN

IN THE HEADLINES.

NETANYAHU'S ACCUSATION THAT THE

BIDEN ADMINISTRATION BEEN

WITHHOLDING WEAPONS FROM ISRAEL

WHICH THE WHITE HOUSE HAS

DENIED.

TWO REPUBLICAN SENATORS ARE

SAYING THE ADMINISTRA NATION

REALLY IS SLOW WALKING THE

WEAPONS TRANSFERS.

REPUBLICAN SENATOR TOM COTTON

WROTE TO THE WHITE HOUSE.

YOUR ADMINISTRATION IS ENGAGED

IN BUREAUCRATIC SLEIGHT OF HAND

TO WITHHOLD THIS CRUCIAL AID TO

ISRAEL DURING SHOOTING WAR,

SAYING THE WHITE HOUSE IS

COVERING THIS UP WITH WEASEL

WORDS AND BUREAUCRATIC PROCESS.

TENNESSEE SENATOR BILL HAGERTY

ALSO WROTE THE WHITE HOUSE IS

MAD BECAUSE ISRAELI PRIME

MINISTER NETANYAHU IS TELLING

THE TRUTH.

MEANWHILE, DESPITE WIDESPREAD

ALLEGATIONS OF FAMINE GAZA TWO

COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS

STUDYING THE ISSUE SAY PLENTY

OF FOOD HAS GONE INTO THE AREA

ENOUGH FEED EVERY PERSON THERE

DAILY.

THE PROFESSORS STATED, THE

UNITED NATIONS AND

INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL COURT

ARE USING FAMINE THAT NEVER WAS

HOPING TO STOP THE WAR.

AND IN NORTHERN ISRAEL AN ALL

OUT WAR WITH HEZBOLLAH SEEMS TO

BE FAST APPROACHING.

AS THE JEWISH NATION SUFFERS

FROM ALMOST DAILY AIR ATTACKS

ON NORTHERN ISRAEL AND A

DISPLACED POPULATION OF 80 TO

100000 PEOPLE WITH HEZBOLLAH'S

MORE THAN 150,000 MISSILES,

U.S. OFFICIALS WORRY ISRAEL'S

IRON DOME COULD BE OVERWHELMED

LEAVING THE JEWISH STATE MORE

VULNERABLE TO ROCKET ATTACKS.

AND WHILE THE WORLD ON ISRAEL'S

CURRENT BATTLES THE WASHINGTON

POST REPORTING IRAN IS

PRODUCING NUCLEAR FUEL SO

QUICKLY IT COULD ACCUMULATE

SEVERAL BOMBS WORTH OF NUCLEAR

FUEL EVERY MONTH.

IRANIAN LEADERS HAVE LONG

THREATENED TO WIPE ISRAEL OFF

THE MAP.

JULIE STAHL, CBN NEWS.

WELL MY FEAR IS THERE WILL BE A

MUCH WIDER WAR THAT WILL ERUPT

AND IT'LL ALL BE SPARKED BY

HEZBOLLAH AND THESE ROCKET

ATTACKS.

THE THE THE TIMES ARE VERY

SERIOUS.

AND IF HEZBOLLAH CONTINUES

TO FIRE THESE ROCKETS, ISRAEL

BEING FORCED TO GO INTO

SOUTHERN LEBANON WILL HEZBOLLAH

THEN FIRE AGAINST CYPRUS?

THAT'S THEIR CURRENT THREAT

THEY DID IT JUST THE OTHER DAY.

WELL IRAN GET INVOLVED IF IRAN

GETS INVOLVED WITH THE U.S.

INVOLVED, WILL EUROPE GET

INVOLVED?

WILL TURKEY GET INVOLVED?

WILL EGYPT GET INVOLVED?

WILL JORDAN GET ALL OF THESE

ARE OPEN QUESTIONS.

THIS IS A TIME TO PRAY FOR THE

PEACE OF JERUSALEM AND THE

PEACE OF ISRAEL.

THESE INCREDIBLE TIMES THAT

WE'RE LIVING IN IN TERMS OF

WHAT THE REAL ENEMY IS.

YOU CAN POINT AT HAMAS YOU CAN

POINT AT HEZBOLLAH.

BUT WE ALSO NEED TO SHINE A

VERY BRIGHT SPY SPOTLIGHT ON

RADICAL ISLAM AND WHETHER YOU

CALL IT AL QAEDA OR ISIS OR

ISIS OR MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD OR

HAMAS OR HEZBOLLAH OR

PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY OR FATAH.

YOU LOOK AT OF THESE DIFFERENT

GROUPS AND THEY'RE ALL UNITED

IN A HATRED ISRAEL AND A HATRED

OF THE JEWS AND THEY'RE VERY

SERIOUS WHEN THEY SAY FROM THE

RIVER TO THE SEA THEY REALLY

MEAN IT.

THEY REALLY THAT THEY WANT TO

WIPE EVERY JEW OFF THE PLANET

AND, PARTICULARLY IN ISRAEL.

BUT LET ME ADD TO IT THAT

THEY VIEW ISRAEL AS THE LITTLE

AND YOU AND I AS THE GREAT

SATAN.

SO IF WE DON'T STAND WITH

ISRAEL NOW IN HER DESPERATE

HOUR OF NEED, WHAT DO WE EXPECT

HAPPEN IF ISRAEL CAN NO LONGER

STAND?

WELL, THEIR NEXT TARGET WILL BE

YOU AND ME AND SO RIGHT.

WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT AND

SAY WE STAND ISRAEL.

IN OTHER NEWS, MORE THAN 100

MILLION AMERICANS ARE DEALING

WITH BLISTERING.

JOHN JESSUP HAS THAT STORY AND

MORE FROM OUR CBN NEWS BUREAU

IN WASHINGTON JOHN.

THAT'S RIGHT, GORDON IT'S

CERTAINLY HOT ACROSS THE

NORTHEAST AND PARTS OF THE

MIDWEST AND SADLY GOING TO GET

HOTTER IN SOME AREAS WITH A

HEAT WAVE SETTING RECORD

TEMPERATURES.

MANY HAVE TAKEN TO THE WATER TO

TRY TO GET SOME RELIEF AS THE

THERMOMETER IS EXPECTED TO

REACH AROUND 100 DEGREES OR

MORE IN SOME PLACES INCLUDING

RIGHT HERE IN THE NATION'S

CAPITAL PHILADELPHIA.

ALREADY DECLARING A HEAT

EMERGENCY AND HEAT WAVE IS

EXPECTED TO SPREAD THROUGHOUT

THE REGION.

FORECASTERS A COLD FRONT WILL

BRING SOME RELIEF.

MY NEXT WEEK WHILE MUCH OF THE

NORTHERN PART OF THE COUNTRY IS

FOCUSED ON HEAT, PEOPLE IN

MEXICO AND TEXAS HAVE BEEN

DEALING WITH THE AFTERMATH OF

TROPICAL ALBERTO.

THE STORM KILLED FOUR PEOPLE IN

MEXICO HITTING, THE COUNTRY

WITH STRONG WINDS, HEAVY

RAINFALL AND FLASH FLOODS AS

THE REMNANTS OF THE SYSTEM

SPREAD ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

AND THE STORM SURGE BROUGHT

FLOODS TO THE VILLAGE OF

SURFSIDE BEACH ON A BARRIER

ISLAND IN TEXAS LEAVING BEHIND

DAMAGED ROADS AND LOTS OF

DEBRIS.

FORTUNATELY, THOUGH, VERY

LITTLE DAMAGE.

WELL, THE AMERICAN CIVIL

LIBERTIES UNION AND OTHER

GROUPS ARE SUING LOUISIANA OVER

ITS NEW LAW REQUIRING ALL

PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO

TEN COMMANDMENTS.

OTHER COMMANDMENTS CASES HAVE

LOST IN THE COURTS BEFORE.

BUT AS LORI JOHNSON REPORTS,

ADVOCATES BELIEVE THE LOUISIANA

LAW HAS GOOD CHANCE OF

SURVIVING LEGAL CHALLENGES.

LOUISIANA GOVERNOR JEFF

LANDRY SIGNED INTO LAW A BILL

REQUIRING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

BE EASILY READABLE ON A POSTER

DISPLAY IN EVERY PUBLICLY

FUNDED CLASSROOM IN THE STATE

FROM KINDERGARTEN THROUGH

COLLEGE BY 2025.

IF YOU WANT TO RESPECT THE

RULE OF LAW, YOU GOT TO START

FROM THE ORIGINAL LAW GIVER

WHICH WAS MOSES.

REPUBLICAN STATE

REPRESENTATIVE LOREN VENTRELL A

CO-SPONSOR THE BILL.

BECAUSE I BELIEVE IN IT

BECAUSE I BELIEVE THAT THESE

ARE IMPORTANT MORALS AND IDEALS

THAT OUR STUDENTS SHOULD HAVE

ACCESS TO IF THEY CHOOSE.

OPPONENTS SAY THEY'LL

CHALLENGE THE LAW BASED ON THE

ARGUMENT THAT IT VIOLATES THE

CONSTITUTIONAL PREMISE OF

SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE

AND THIS LAW FLIES IN THE FACE

OF THAT BASIC FOUNDATION.

HOWEVER, LOUISIANA PUTS FORTH

TEN COMMANDMENTS IN NOT SO MUCH

A RELIGIOUS BUT RATHER A

HISTORICAL FRAMEWORK.

THIS IS NOT FORCING REQUIRE

SANCTIONING COERCING ANYBODY TO

READ THIS DOCUMENT.

IT'S MERELY POSTING IT THERE

FOR THE STUDENTS HAVE THE

OPTION TO OBSERVE THE

HISTORICAL AND MORAL CONTEXT OF

THIS TEXT.

LIKEWISE, EXPERTS THE FACT

THAT LOUISIANA IS DISPLAYING

THE TEN COMMANDMENTS FOR

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE SHOULD

ALSO PROVIDE LEGAL PROTECTION

WHEN THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

CLEARLY FORM THE FOUNDATION OF

LAW GOVERNMENT AND HAVE CLEARLY

SHAPED OUR LAW AND OUR

GOVERNMENT POLICY.

SO HAVING THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

DISPLAYED ANYWHERE WHETHER IT'S

IN PUBLIC SCHOOL OR ELSEWHERE

IS VERY CONSISTENT WITH OUR

HISTORY AND OUR TRADITION OF

LAW AND GOVERNMENT.

SOME ANALYSTS SAY TODAY'S

SUPREME COURT WILL LIKELY ALLOW

THE LOUISIANA LAW TO STAND

BASED ON A HIGH COURT RULING

TWO YEARS AGO.

THERE'S BEEN A TOTAL SHIFT

IN THE UNITED STATES SUPREME

COURT WITH RESPECT TO

OVERRULING THE 1971 LEMANN

VERSUS KURTZMAN CASE.

IT WAS THAT CASE THAT HAS BEEN

HISTORICALLY USED TO CHALLENGE

TEN COMMANDMENTS DISPLAYS OR

ONE NATION UNDER GOD OR SCENES

.

THANKFULLY THE SUPREME COURT

HAS ENDED THAT REIGN OF TYRANNY

OF THAT HOSTILITY THAT 20 22

SUPREME COURT RULING COMBINED

WITH THE WAY LOUISIANA CALLED

FOR DISPLAYING THE TEN

COMMANDMENTS BASED ON THEIR

HISTORY AND TRADITION RATHER

THAN RELIGIOUS PURPOSES MEANS

OTHER STATES WILL LIKELY FOLLOW

.

WELL, WE'VE BEEN PROVIDING

ASSISTANCE AND HELP TO A NUMBER

OF LEGISLATURES AROUND COUNTRY

SO THAT THEY CAN REALLY DIGEST

THIS NEW ERA THAT WE'RE IN.

NOTABLY, LOUISIANA REQUIRES

A PARAGRAPH ATTACHMENT ON EACH

COPY OF THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

DESCRIBING HOW THEY WERE A

PROMINENT PART OF AMERICAN

PUBLIC EDUCATION FOR ALMOST

THREE CENTURIES.

FURTHER EMPHASIZING THEIR

HISTORY AND TRADITION, THE

DISPLAYS WILL BE PAID FOR BY

PRIVATE DONATIONS NOT BY THE.

LORI JOHNSON CBN NEWS.

ALL RIGHT, THANK YOU.

LORI GORDON, BACK OVER TO YOU.

WELL, MY EXPECTED MISSION AS

THIS WILL PROBABLY END UP AT

THE SUPREME COURT AND THEN I'LL

TAKE THE SUPREME COURT TO TELL

US IT'S ACTUALLY LEGAL.

TALK ABOUT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

IN OUR SCHOOLS WHICH IS IT'S

INCREDIBLE GIVEN OUR HISTORY.

THE HISTORY IS QUITE CLEAR THAT

WE RESPECT THE TEN COMMANDMENTS

AND CERTAINLY OUR FOUNDERS DID

YOU KNOW DID THEY ALWAYS OBEY

THEM AS NO, BUT THEY AT LEAST

RESPECTED THEM.

HERE'S SOMETHING YOU MAY NOT

KNOW THERE WAS A M.I.T. STUDY

WAS DONE IN MAY A PSYCHOLOGIST

THERE WHO WAS AN ISRAELI BUT

NOT A BELIEVER AND HE HE PUT

BEFORE STUDENTS AND VARIOUS

THAT IF THEY SIGNED A PLEDGE OR

IF THEY READ WHAT WHAT WAS

SUPPOSEDLY AN HONOR CODE HE TO

CLAIM IT HAD AN HONOR CODE IT

DOESN'T BUT IN IT WAS AN

AMAZING OBSERVATION OF HUMAN

BEHAVIOR.

THE MORE YOU REMIND PEOPLE OF

THERE ARE STANDARDS OF CONDUCT

IT ACTUALLY LIFTS THE CONDUCT

OF THE ENTIRE GROUP THAT EVEN

IF IT'S NOT ACTUALLY AN HONOR

CODE AT THE UNIVERSITY IF YOU

CLAIM THERE IS AND YOU ASK THEM

TO SIGN A PLEDGE THAT THEY'VE

DONE WORK UNDER AN HONOR CODE

OR THEN IT RAISES THE MORALITY

OF THE ENTIRE GROUP AND YOU

HAVE EVEN OUTSIDE AN

EXAMINATION THEY TOOK THEM INTO

SOME SORT OF MORAL QUANDARY AND

THE ETHICAL BEHAVIOR SURVIVED

WHEN WHEN WE LOSE THIS MORAL

INSTRUCTION IN OUR SCHOOLS,

WE'RE LOSING SOMETHING THAT'S

VERY PRECIOUS TO THE ENTIRE AND

WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE THAT

EDUCATOR OFTEN USED TO HAVE AS

A FUNDAMENTAL WE WANT TO TEACH

MORAL STANDARDS AND WE WANT

CHILDREN NOT TO GROW UP YOU

KNOW, AS LIBERTINES WE WANT TO

GROW UP UNDER THE KNOWLEDGE

THAT THERE ARE THAT ARE RIGHT

AND THERE ARE THINGS THAT ARE

WRONG AND WHEN YOU GET RID OF

ANY KIND OF STANDARD WELL YOU

END UP WHERE WE ARE TODAY WHICH

IS SORT OF CHAOTIC.

LET ME ADD TO IT IF THE SUPREME

COURT SAYS YOU CAN'T HAVE THE

TEN COMMANDMENTS OR THEN WHAT

IN THE WORLD ARE THEY GOING TO

DO WITH THEIR OWN PEDIMENT?

WE JUST HAD A SHOT OF IT IN THE

STORY GO TAKE A LOOK AT THAT

YOU'LL SEE THREE LAW GIVERS UP

THERE.

ONE OF THEM IS CONFUCIUS, THE

OTHER ONE IS SOLON FROM FROM

ANCIENT GREECE BUT.

THERE'S ALSO MOSES AND MOSES AS

THE LAWGIVER A FUNDAMENTAL ALL

TO WESTERN CIVILIZATION.

LET'S RECOGNIZE AND ABOVE ALL

CONNECTED WITH CBN NEWS ALL

ACROSS OUR PLATFORMS.

WELL, IN JUST IN CASE YOU

HAVEN'T NOTICED, THIS IS IN AN

ELECTION YEAR AND REPUBLICANS

ARE DEAD SET ON TAKING BACK

BOTH THE PRESIDENCY AND THE

SENATE.

DEMOCRATS ARE FOCUSED ON THE

ABORTION ISSUE TO MAKE SURE

THEY REMAIN IN POWER IN BOTH

THE SENATE AND THE WHITE HOUSE

.

WELL, CBN'S CHIEF POLITICAL

ANALYST DAVID BRODY SHOWS US

WHAT'S BEHIND THE STRATEGIES

SINCE THE SUPREME COURT

OVERTURN ROE V WADE IN 2022,

REPUBLICANS HAVE FOUND

THEMSELVES ON POLITICALLY.

THAT'S BECAUSE DEMOCRATS HAVE

WEAPONIZED ISSUE IN ATTEMPT TO

SCARE VOTERS ABOUT EXTREME GOP

POLICIES IN A POST ROE WORLD.

WE'RE ALMOST THERE.

WE'RE GOING TO MAKE IT.

TRUMP REPUBLICANS WANT TO

CRIMINALIZE YOUNG ALABAMA WOMEN

WHO TRAVEL FOR REPRODUCTIVE

CARE.

YES, I'M GOING TO NEED YOU

TO STEP OUT OF THE VEHICLE,

TAKE A PREGNANCY TEST.

WITH ADS LIKE THAT, THE

BIDEN CAMPAIGN HOPES TO REACH

SUBURBAN AND INDEPENDENT FEMALE

THIS FALL.

FORMER DEMOCRAT TULSI GABBARD

TELLS CBN HER FORMER COLLEAGUES

ARE PLAYING DIRTY AND WE'RE

ALREADY THE KIND OF FEAR

MONGERING THAT THE DEMOCRAT

ELITE ARE DOING TO TRY TO SCARE

WOMEN INTO FOR JOE BIDEN BASED

ON THESE INSANE IDEAS

AND ADS THAT ARE NOT ROOTED IN

REALITY IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR

FORM.

WE WILL SEE IF PEOPLE FALL FOR

THAT FEAR MONGERING THAT

DEMOCRATS ARE PUSHING FORWARD

REGARDLESS OF THE TACTICS

UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE A

POTENTIAL PROBLEM ON THEIR

HANDS.

SIX IN TEN INDEPENDENTS ARE

UNHAPPY THAT ROE WAS OVERTURNED

IN SIX KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES.

11 PERCENT OF NAMED ABORTION

AS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE.

NEARLY THE SAME PERCENTAGE AS

IMMIGRATION.

OVERALL, 63% OF AMERICANS

SAY ABORTION SHOULD BE LEGAL IN

ALL OR MOST CASES.

AND WHEN IT COMES TO MODERATE

REPUBLICANS, THAT NUMBER

REACHES 67%.

THESE STATS HAVE FOR REPUBLICAN

CANDIDATES TO SLIGHTLY SHIFT

THEIR STANCE ON THE ISSUE.

MEREDITH MCGRAW IS A

REPORTER FOR POLITICO.

WE HAVE SEEN HOW THE REPUBLICAN

PARTY HAS REALLY STRUGGLED WITH

HOW TO ITS POSITION ON

ABORTION.

FOR EXAMPLE, ARIZONA SENATE

CANDIDATE CARRIE LAKE ONCE

CALLED ABORTION THE ULTIMATE

SIN AND SHE SUPPORTED AN

ARIZONA LAW THAT CALLED FOR

PRISON TIME ANYONE INVOLVED

PERFORMING AN ABORTION.

THIS IS LAKE FROM TWO YEARS

AGO.

WE HAVE A GREAT LAW ON THE

BOOKS RIGHT NOW.

IF THAT HAPPENS WE WILL BE A

STATE WHERE WE WILL NOT BE

TAKING LIVES OF OUR UNBORN

ANYMORE, AS THE SAYING GOES.

THAT WAS THEN.

THIS IS NOW.

THIS TOTAL BAN ON ABORTION THAT

THE ARIZONA SUPREME COURT JUST

RULED ON IS OUT OF LINE WITH

WHERE THE PEOPLE OF THIS STATE

ARE.

IN WASHINGTON STATE FORMER

CONGRESS DAVE REICHERT VOTED

AGAINST FEDERAL FUNDING OF

ABORTION AND A 100% RATING WITH

NATIONAL RIGHT TO LIFE.

NOW RUNNING FOR GOVERNOR.

HE'S SOFTENING HIS TONE.

I WANT YOU TO KNOW WHERE I

STAND ON ABORTION?

AS GOVERNOR I WILL NOT CHANGE

LAW ON THIS ISSUE BECAUSE I DO

NOT BELIEVE ANY POLITICIAN,

REGARDLESS OF PERSONAL BELIEF

HAS THE RIGHT TO MAKE THAT FOR

ANY WOMAN ON THE NATIONAL LEVEL

PRO-LIFE AREN'T HAPPY WITH

SENATE LEADERS LIKE MITCH

MCCONNELL AND JOHN CORNYN WHO

HAD CONSISTENTLY BACKED

NATIONAL LIMITS ON ABORTION.

NOW WITH ROE V WADE OUT OF

THE PICTURE THEY MAINTAIN

DECISION SHOULD BE LEFT UP TO

THE STATES.

FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP FEELS

THE SAME WAY AND ALSO CALLS FOR

EXCEPTIONS TO ABORTION.

FOR ONE RECENT PRO-LIFE

GATHERING HE RECORDED A TWO

MINUTE VIDEO MESSAGE WITHOUT

SPEAKING ON ABORTION AT ALL AND

DIDN'T EVEN USE THE WORD WE

HAVE TO DEFEND RELIGIOUS FREE

SPEECH AND DECENT LIFE AND THE

HERITAGE AND TRADITION THAT

BUILT AMERICA INTO THE GREATEST

NATION IN THE HISTORY OF THE

WORLD.

FOR TRUMP, THAT STRATEGY

MAKES SENSE SINCE HE BELIEVES

POLITICS HURT THE GOP IN 2022

AND COULD DO SO AGAIN.

IT REALLY IT, REALLY HURT

THE REPUBLICANS.

THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO TALK

ABOUT THE ISSUE AND NOW I THINK

THEY'RE LEARNING HOW TO TALK

ABOUT IT.

LAST WEEK ON CAPITOL HILL

TOLD CONGRESSIONAL REPUBLICANS

TO FOLLOW THEIR HEART ON

ABORTION BUT TO DO IT IN A WAY

THAT MAKES SENSE TO VOTERS.

IT SEEMS TO ME JUST BEING A

POLITICAL OBSERVER THAT HE'S AN

ART OF THE DEAL TYPE GUY.

HE UNDERSTANDS THAT IT'S NOT A

QUOTE WINNING ISSUE FOR

REPUBLICANS RIGHT NOW.

AND SO WHY WHY DOUBLE DOWN AND

JUST IT JUST SEEMS LIKE THAT'S

KIND OF THE STRATEGY AT THIS

POINT.

I THINK DONALD TRUMP IS REALLY

TRYING TO FIND SOME MIDDLE

GROUND HERE AND GIVE HIMSELF

SOME WIGGLE ROOM SO HE CAN

APPEAL TO THE EVANGELICAL

VOTERS HAVE CONTINUED TO BE

LOYAL TO HIM OVER THE YEARS.

BUT ALSO MAKE APPEALS TO MORE

MODERATE VOTERS WHO HAVE A

DIFFERENT POSITION WHEN IT

COMES TO ABORTION.

WHILE HE'S CONSIDERED BY

SOME EVANGELICAL AND PRO-LIFE

LEADERS AS THE MOST PRO-LIFE

PRESIDENT, 2024 IS A NEW

ENVIRONMENT.

NO PRO-LIFE BALLOT

INITIATIVES HAVE WON SINCE ROE

WAS EVEN IN RED STATES LIKE

KANSAS.

ABORTION MEASURES WILL ALSO

MOST LIKELY BE ON THE BALLOT

THIS TIME AROUND IN THE KEY

SWING STATES OF NEVADA AND

ARIZONA.

SO WHAT'S THE SOLUTION FOR

TRUMP AND THE GOP?

GOVERNOR SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS

CBN NEWS IT'S TIME TO USE A

STRATEGY OF BOTH REASON AND

OFFENSE AND I THINK WE HAVE TO

TALK ABOUT IT IN WAYS PEOPLE

UNDERSTANDS THAT MAKES IT

RELEVANT.

QUICK GOING ON DEFENSE WE SO

OFTEN APOLOGIZE FOR OUR

POSITION WHEN FRANKLY ON THE

RIGHT SIDE HERE.

I NEVER WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR

DEFENDING ONE OF THE MOST

VULNERABLE POPULATIONS IN OUR

COUNTRY AND THAT IS THE UNBORN.

AND SO I'M NOT GOING TO DO

THAT.

AND I THINK THAT THE MORE THAT

WE GO ON OFFENSE INSTEAD OF

COWERING AND ALLOWING THE LEFT

TO DEFINE OUR POSITION AND MAKE

US OUT TO BE THE BAD GUY, THE

OFF WE'RE GOING TO BE.

THAT GAME PLAN SEEMS TO BE

IN LINE WITH PARTY INSIDERS

SOMETHING I KEEP HEARING FROM

REPUBLICAN STRATEGISTS IS THEY

FELT LIKE IN 2022 REPUBLICANS

DIDN'T GO ON OFFENSE ENOUGH

WHEN IT CAME TO THE ISSUE OF

ABORTION.

THEY FELT LIKE IN 2022 THAT

SHOULD HAVE BEEN A LESSON

LEARNED AND THAT MORE SHOULD BE

DONE IN 2024 TO GO ON OFFENSE

WITH DEMOCRATS.

RIGHT NOW THOUGH REPUBLICANS

ARE BACK ON THEIR HEELS AND IF

THEY DON'T MOVE FROM THAT

POSITION IT COULD COST THEM

DEARLY IN 2024.

DAVID CBN NEWS, WASHINGTON.

WELL PLEASE LET VOICE BE

HEARD.

PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT YOU'RE

REGISTERED TO VOTE AND PLEASE

PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS.

MY MY FUNDAMENTAL PROBLEM WITH

ROE VERSUS WADE IS THAT

UNELECTED JUDGES DECIDED FOR US

WHAT OUR CULTURE WOULD BE AND

WHAT OUR SOCIETY WOULD BE.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THE GOAL OF

THE UNITED STATES THAT WE THE

PEOPLE GET TO FORM OUR

GOVERNMENT AND GET TO DECIDE

WHAT SOCIETY WE'RE IN.

AM PRO-LIFE AND BASED THAT ON

DEEP CONVICTION.

I ALSO BASE IT ON THE

HISTORY OF THE CHRISTIAN

CHURCH.

LOOK AT THOSE WONDERFUL

DOCUMENTS FROM THE FIRST

CENTURY.

IT'S CALLED THE DEEDS ACT AND

IT MEANS THE TEACHING AND IT

INSTRUCTED THE EARLY CHURCH ON

HOW CHRISTIANS WERE KNOWN.

ONE OF THE THINGS CHRISTIANS

KNOWN FOR IS THEY TOOK CARE OF

CHILDREN AND THEY TOOK CARE OF

ORPHANS AND THEY WOULD ACTIVELY

LOOK THERE WAS A PRACTICE OF

THE TIME THAT IF A FATHER

DIDN'T LIKE A CHILD AFTER IT

WAS BORN IT WOULD BE EXPOSED

AND WOULD DIE A WILD ANIMALS

WOULD COME AND THE CHRISTIANS

WOULD ACTIVELY LOOK FOR THAT

AND TAKE THOSE CHILDREN IN.

BUT IN THE DIDACTIC IT'S

SPECIFIC.

IT'S NOT IT SAYS DO MORE THAN

THAT CHRISTIANS ARE AGAINST

ABORTION BECAUSE ABORTION HAS

BEEN AROUND A LONG TIME.

IT USED TO BE ACCOMPLISHED

THROUGH POTIONS AND THAT KIND

OF THING AND AND YOU YOU LOOK

AT THESE DOCUMENTS AND THE

REASON VALUE LIFE IS THAT WE

UNDERSTAND IT COMES FROM GOD.

I ALSO UNDERSTAND CHILDREN ARE

OUR FUTURE.

SO HOW DO WE HAVE A SOCIETY

WHERE WE ENCOURAGE MOTHERS THAT

WE SAY WE WANT TO STAND WITH

YOU?

WE KNOW IT'S HARD GIVING BIRTH,

WE KNOW IT'S HARD RAISING

CHILDREN.

WE KNOW IT'S EXPENSIVE.

HOW CAN WE HELP YOU SO THAT WE

CAN HAVE A WONDERFUL SOCIETY

THAT VALUES HUMANITY THAT SAYS

YES, WE WANT CHILDREN.

WE THINK THEY'RE A TREMENDOUS

GIFT FROM GOD.

THAT'S THE AMERICA I WANT TO

LIVE IN.

SO ANY CRISIS CENTER YOU SEE

PLEASE SUPPORT THEM.

THEY'RE DOING WONDERFUL WORK.

ANYONE INVOLVED IN ADOPTION?

ANYONE WHO IS TAKING ABANDONED

CHILDREN, ANYONE WHO IS DOING

CARE PLEASE HELP THEM BECAUSE

WE NEED IT AS A CULTURE TO SAY

FIVE MILES OF STEPS PER HOUR.

THE STEP COUNTER SPORT MAT AND

WIRELESS REMOTE CALL NOW WRITES

LEWIS BACK ON THE FIELD AND IS

SHOWING THE BASEBALL WORLD

THEY'VE BEEN MISSING.

HE'S BEEN HITTING WELL OVER 300

WITH A LIGHT TOWER POWER AND HE

TOLD SPORTS REPORTER TOM DURING

HIS FAITH IN JESUS AS THE BIG

REASON FOR HIS SUCCESS.

MINNESOTA TWINS ROYCE LEWIS IS

NICE, A GRACIOUS SOUL WHO

THRIVES AS THEIR HITTING

ENFORCER MAXIMIZING HIS MOMENTS

AFTER SIGNIFICANT INJURIES

DELAYED HIS YOUNG CAREER.

THE OVERCOMING THIRD BASEMAN

DELIVERS AFTER BEING BASEBALL'S

TOP DRAFT PICK A FRANCHISE FACE

WHOSE FEET ARE GROUNDED BY AN

EMBEDDED FAITH.

FOR A CALIFORNIA KID, WHAT

MAKES MINNESOTA BASEBALL

DISTINCT FOR YOU?

YEAH, FOR ME GROWING UP

ESPECIALLY IN CALIFORNIA, I

ALWAYS THOUGHT MINNESOTA, YOU

KNOW SNOW TOTALLY.

YOU KNOW, LIKE NINE MONTHS OF

THE YEAR.

BUT WHEN YOU GET UP THERE IT'S

JUST SO BEAUTIFUL.

IT'S SO PEACEFUL IN THE

SUMMERTIME.

YOU KNOW, I'M BLESSED ENOUGH TO

HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY IN

THE BEST MONTHS OF THE YEAR FOR

MINNESOTA.

THE MINNESOTA NICE TERM IS

DEFINITELY A TRUE THING.

YOU KNOW, YOU FEEL THAT JUST SO

HAPPY AND RESPECTFUL THE

OPPORTUNITY I HAVE TO BE A

MAJOR LEAGUE BASEBALL PLAYER

WHEN YOU CONSIDER ALL THE

FACTORS THAT GO INTO YOUR

DEVELOPMENT, WHAT IS THE

ONE THING THAT'S BECOME THE

PRIMARY CATALYST FOR YOU TO

ELEVATE THAT LEVEL OF TALENT?

SOMETHING THAT POST-DRAFT

THEY TOLD ME IT WAS ME AS A

PERSON AND HOW I WAS AND HOW I

RESPONDED TO THEM AND HOW I

ACTED THAT REALLY BROUGHT THEM

ULTIMATELY TO MAKE THAT

DECISION OF TAKING NUMBER

ONE OVERALL.

TALENT WAS THERE FOR SURE BUT

THEY TALKED ABOUT WHAT WAS THE

DECIDING FACTOR BETWEEN ME AND

THREE OR FOUR OTHER GUYS THAT

MADE ME AND MY FAMILY THE MOST

EXCITED AND HAPPY TO BE A PART

OF THIS MINNESOTA ORGANIZATION.

THERE'S A LOT OF PLAYERS

THOUGH THAT HAVE TALENT.

WHAT SEPARATES ROYCE EVEN AT A

YOUNG AGE IS HIS HEART AND THE

ADDED TO A GRATITUDE THAT HE

BRINGS ROYCE IS A COACH'S

DREAM.

HE HE BRINGS THAT ATTITUDE DAY

AND DAY OUT.

HE BRINGS A SMILE.

HE'S VERY INTENTIONAL.

OH, EVERYTHING THAT HE DOES

AND HE'S VERY OPEN MINDED.

OVERCOMING CAN BE A BEAST.

BEFORE 22 YOU TEAR THE ACL SAME

LEAGUE CANSECO TWO SEASONS FOR

THAT SECOND TIME AROUND.

WHAT DID YOU PULL FROM THE

FIRST TIME AROUND?

I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT MYSELF

AND WHERE I TO GROW AS A PERSON

AND I FELT LIKE I GREW A LOT

AND THEN THE SECOND TIME AROUND

I HURT A LOT MORE OBVIOUSLY

BECAUSE I KNEW THAT THE REHAB

WAS GOING TO BE AUTOMATICALLY

OUT FOR A YEAR.

IN A SENSE IT BROUGHT ME CLOSER

TO HIM.

IT MADE ME REALIZE THAT

BASEBALL WAS NOT EVERYTHING AND

SO NOW WHEN I PLAY BASEBALL I

JUST TAKE IT FOR THE GRATITUDE

OF THAT.

IT IS A ROYCE DID YOU HAVE TO

STRUGGLE WITH A WHY?

QUESTION WHY ME?

IF YOU DON'T YOU'RE NOT HUMAN.

YOU KNOW IT'S THAT QUESTION OF

WHY ME DEFINITELY WAS THERE.

IT WAS SOMETHING THAT RIGHT

AWAY I WAS VERY UPSET WITH GOD,

WITH WITH MYSELF, WITH YOU

KNOW, WHAT COULD I HAVE DONE

DIFFERENTLY?

HE OPENED A PERSPECTIVE FOR ME

THAT CHANGED MY LIFE ULTIMATELY

AND I'M STILL GROWING IN MY

FAITH AND I'M ALWAYS TRYING TO

CONTINUE TO PURSUE GOD THE BEST

WAY I CAN AND I'M ALWAYS

LEARNING.

I FEEL LIKE THOSE PINCH ME

MOMENTS GET DREAMS AND VISIONS

OF OF HITTING HOME RUNS OR

DOING SOMETHING WITH TEAMMATE

TALKING TO YOURSELF AND I FEEL

LIKE IT'S JUST GOD TALKING TO

ME LETTING ME KNOW WHERE I'M AT

IN MY IN MY LIFE AND THAT I'M

ON THE PATH.

YOU'RE THE HISTORIC GRAND

SLAM GUY.

YOU'VE ALREADY MAJOR MARK IT'S

YOUR SIGNATURE FOUR GRAND SLAMS

AND THE FEWEST AMOUNT OF GAMES

56 WHEN THOSE BASES ARE LOADED.

ROYCE WHEN HOW DOES THAT TURN

TO YOUR ADVANTAGE?

YEAH, YOU IT'S A SIMPLICITY

APPROACH FOR ME.

I THINK THE PITCHER HE'S

WORRIED ABOUT WALKING AND

LETTING IT RUN FOR FREE.

THAT'S THE WAY WE LOOK AT IT AS

COMPETITORS THAT'S A FREE BASE

AND A FREE RUN.

AND SO FOR HIM HE WANTS TO

COMPETE AND CHALLENGE ME AND SO

I KNOW HE'S GOING TO COME AT ME

WITH THE BEST STUFF IN THE ZONE

AND I'M JUST WAITING FOR PITCH

AND DO SOME DAMAGE WITH HIM,

PUT IT IN THE OUTFIELD AND I AM

BLESSED ENOUGH TO BE THE

ONE OFF THE BAT WHEN THOSE

SITUATIONS COME AND I JUST RISE

TO THE OCCASION.

THOSE BASES LOADED

OPPORTUNITIES.

YEAH.

DOES THAT TRANSLATE TO TO A

LIFE THAT CAN BE LIVED WITH

PRODUCTIVITY AND EFFICIENCY.

ABSOLUTELY IT DOES YEAH.

I ALWAYS COMPARE BASEBALL TO

JUST THE GAME OF LIFE.

YOU LEARN A LOT.

THERE'S SO MUCH MORE FAILURE IN

THIS GAME FOR MOST OF US IN

LIFE.

YOU KNOW I'M FAILING SEVEN OUT

OF TEN TIMES AND THAT'S A GREAT

HALL OF FAME BASEBALL CAREER.

BUT IN LIFE IF WE FAIL SEVEN OR

TEN TIMES WE'RE PROBABLY IN

TROUBLE.

WHEN I'M ABLE TO BE PRODUCTIVE

AND EFFICIENT IN THIS GAME I

GOOD THINGS TEND TO HAPPEN AND

WHEN I'M ABLE TO BE PRODUCTIVE

AND EFFICIENT IN LIFE I FEEL

LIKE IT DEFINITELY MAKES LIFE A

LOT EASIER AND A MORE FUN.

THE COMPETITIVE MOMENT PROVOKES

IN YOU TO RISE TO THE OCCASION.

HOW IS THE CHRIST THAT YOU

WALK AN UNSEEN COMPETITOR ON

OUR BEHALF.

HE DID THE ULTIMATE

SACRIFICE AND I FEEL LIKE

THAT'S WHY HE'S THE COMPETITOR

THERE EVER WILL BE.

TO DO SOMETHING THAT NO ONE IS

WILLING TO DO AND TO DO IT FOR

OTHERS WHO MAY NOT BE WORTHY

AND TO DO IT FOR JUST THE

KINDNESS OUT OF HIS HEART.

HOW WONDERFUL OF A MOMENT.

YOU KNOW, I WISH I CAN GO

TRAVEL AND SEE WHAT THAT WAS

LIKE IN THAT TIME AND BE WITH

JESUS AND WALK WITH JESUS.

I GREW UP FROM MY PARENTS JUST

BEING YOU KNOW, IN A CHRISTIAN

HOUSEHOLD OF OF LEARNING AND

BEING A PART OF YOU KNOW, JESUS

AND AND THEN HOPEFULLY, YOU

KNOW, I JUST ENGAGED AS I

BECOME A PARENT ONE DAY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH.

AS ABLE TO TEACH MY KIDS THE

SAME THING AND HAVE THEM GROW

UP IN A HOUSEHOLD WHERE BEING A

CHRISTIAN MAN OR A FAITHFUL MAN

IS SAFE AND COMFORTABLE AND

WELCOMING TO WHERE YOU LET YOUR

KID MAKE THAT DECISION ON THEIR

OWN.

BUT YOU ALSO SHOW THEM THE WAY

AND THE LIGHT.

AND THE TRUTH IS I FEEL LIKE

THE TRUTH IS SO IMPORTANT AS

CENTERPIECE OF A MAJOR LEAGUE

FRANCHISE WHEN WITNESS THE

JESUS CHRIST THAT NEW COMPANION

WILL BRING TO YOU HE BRINGS A

SENSE OF PEACE.

WHEN I'M ABLE TO PRAY BEFORE

THE GAME AND WHEN OUT ON THAT

LIKE A TSUNAMI.

THAT'S HOW JOHN JAMES DESCRIBED

OVERWHELMING SUCCESS OF THE

BAND HE CO-FOUNDED THE NEWSBOYS

.

BEFORE LONG HE WAS LIVING A

DOUBLE LIFE AND THEN SUDDENLY

EVERYTHING HE LOVED WAS SWEPT

AWAY.

JOHN SANK INTO A RABBIT HOLE OF

ALCOHOL, DRUGS AND INFIDELITY

AND HE SAW NO WAY OUT.

G'DAY.

MY NAME'S JOHN JAMES.

I WAS THE FORMER LEAD SINGER

AND CO-FOUND OF THE NEWSBOYS

AND THIS IS MY STORY AND I WAS

BORN INTO A REALLY ABUSIVE

TOXIC BROKEN FAMILY.

DAD JUST WALKED OUT AT THAT

STAGE I HAD SUCH A SENSE OF

REJECTION I USED TO ALWAYS HEAR

PEOPLE SAY TO ME, YOU KNOW,

KNOW YOU'RE USELESS, YOU

HOPELESS, YOU'RE NOTHING YOU'LL

NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING CAN.

AT THE AGE OF 15 MY DAD HAD

THE MOST INCREDIBLE ENCOUNTER

WITH GOD AND AND HE CAME TO A

PLACE OF AUTHENTIC REPENTANCE

AND HE PROCEEDED THEN TO LEAD

THE REST OF HIS FAMILY EVEN EX

FAMILY TO THE LORD.

AND IT'S SO BIZARRE BECAUSE THE

VERY PERSON THAT WAS

RESPONSIBLE FOR UTTERLY DESTROY

MY FAMILY WAS THE VERY VEHICLE

THAT GOD USED TO BE A MIRACLE

HOPE 19 NOW AND GOD

ORCHESTRATED ANOTHER INCREDIBLE

ENCOUNTER IN MY LIFE AND I MET

A YOUNG GENTLEMAN THAT WAS A

AND HE WAS WITH SEVERAL OTHER

GUYS THAT WAS THOUGHT IT

TALKING ABOUT STARTING A BAND

THAT WAS GOING TO BE THE

NEWSBOYS EVENTUALLY AND NOW I

BECAME THE LEAD SINGER AND AND

OF THE NEWSBOYS AND AND IT

BEGAN THIS INCREDIBLE JOURNEY I

THINK FOR SORT OF TO WRITE

MUSIC WITH MESSAGE OF HOPE

FOUND IN CHRIST IN CHRIST ALONE

AND I WAS KIND I HAD THE

PRIVILEGE IN BEING A PART OF

THE FIRST SIX ALBUMS THE FIRST

ONE WE DID WAS READ ALL ABOUT

IT AND THEN IT WAS HOW FOR

WIMPS THEN BOYS WILL BE BOYS

AND THEN NOT ASHAMED ALBUM THEN

GOING PUBLIC THEN THE TAKE ME

TO YOUR LEADER SUCCESS JUST

BEGAN COME LIKE A TSUNAMI IT

WAS MORE WORK THAN EVER LONGER

TOURS THAN EVER FILLING THE

BIGGEST ARENAS AND NOW STARTING

SELL HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF

ALBUMS NOW STARTING TO WIN TOP

AWARDS FOR ROCK SONG OF THE

YEAR ROCK BAND OF THE YEAR THE

NEWSBOYS YOU KNOW, STARTING TO

SEE GOLD ALBUMS AND WE GETTING

MARRIED AND HAVING FAMILIES AND

CHILDREN BUT THE INCREDIBLE

WEALTH COMING NOW TO THE

BEAUTIFUL HOMES, THE CARS WE

WERE LIVING THE AMERICAN DREAM

EVERY IT OUT FOR MONEY

LIFESTYLE, SUCCESS FAME THE

MINISTRY HAS THE TO EXPOSE

DEFECTS IN YOUR CHARACTER

THAT'S EASY TO BE GREAT FROM A

DISTANCE WHEN THE LIMELIGHT ON

BUT BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WHEN

YOU'RE NOT ON STAGE WHEN NO

ONE'S AROUND LIFESTYLE WILL

BEGIN TO EXPOSE LIKE I SAID THE

DEFECTS IN WHO YOU ARE AND YOUR

FOUNDATION AND YOUR CHARACTER

AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED TO ME.

I'M LOSING MY GRIP.

THAT SENSE OF HUMILITY AND

HUMBLENESS AND STAN CONNECTED

TO THE VINES CONNECTED TO GOD.

I MADE THE TERRIBLE MISTAKE OF

NOT GUARDING THE SACREDNESS OF

MY MARRIAGE AND MY MY OWN LIFE

WHERE I BEGIN TO BEGIN CHAT

WITH OTHER WOMEN WHO OBVIOUSLY

WEREN'T MY WIFE ONLINE IT

BECAME THE MOST ADDICTIVE THING

A LITTLE COMPROMISE HERE AND

THAT EVENTUALLY IT'S GOING TO

TAKE ITS TOLL ON EVERY YEAR OF

YOUR LIFE I HAD ONE LIFE STYLE

OF OF WHO I WAS WHEN I WAS ON

STAGE BUT THEN WHEN I WASN'T ON

STAGE I WAS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT

PERSON.

I BELIEVE THE GOSPEL

MESSAGE, THE MESSAGE OF HOPE

BUT I BEGIN TO CUT ANCHORS FROM

MY LIFE I CONFIDED WITH ONE OF

THE BAND MEMBERS.

LONG STORY SHORT, I FORCED TO

STEP DOWN AND AND RESIGN FROM

THE NEWSBOYS NEWSBOYS.

MY MY WORLD IT FELL APART

AND I WAS SO EXPOSED I FELT SO

NAKED BECAUSE THINK AT THAT

MOMENT I CAME TO THE SHOCKING

REALIZATION THAT MY WHOLE SENSE

OF VALUE AND WORTH THAT MY

WHOLE IDENTITY WAS WAS TOTALLY

WRAPPED UP IN WHO I WAS WITH

THE NEWSBOYS THAT MEANT MORE TO

ME THAN WHAT MARRIAGE AND

TRYING TO FIGHT FOR MY WIFE,

FOR MY MORE DAUGHTER I MY THIS

IS MY IDENTITY AS LONG AS I WAS

WITH THE NEWSBOYS I'M SOMEBODY

I HAVE A PURPOSE A FUTURE I

HAVE A HOPE MY SUCCESS, MY FAME

THEN WHEN CAREER CAME TO AN END

I USED ALCOHOL AS JUST THE

VEHICLE TO AND THINGS ONLY WENT

FROM WORSE TO I MET MY WIFE

ONE DAY AND SHE FOUND A BUNCH

OF LETTERS AND SHE OPENED IT UP

AND THEY'RE ALL FROM THIS WOMAN

THAT I'D BE TALKING TO AND THEN

SHE LEFT I WENT DOWN THAT

RABBIT EVEN DEEPER WITH THE THE

DRUGS AND AND THE ALCOHOL SO I

THOUGHT WELL LET'S GO TO

AUSTRALIA OR LITTLE THAT BLOW

OVER AND I'LL I'LL GO BACK AND

PATCH THINGS UP WITH MY WIFE AT

THE TIME AND GETTING BACK TO

AMERICA SO I CAN CONTINUE

LIVING THE BLESSED LIFE NOW WAS

MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THEN THEN

I SAW MY SALVATION GOD SHUT THE

DOOR FOR ME TO COME BACK TO

AMERICA AND THEN GOD STARTED

THE JOURNEY OF TAKING ME TO THE

WILDERNESS WHERE THAT JOHN HAD

TO DIE.

IT WAS THE MOST PAINFUL THE,

MOST GUT WRENCHING OF GOING TO

SELF AND ALLOWING GOD TO HEAL

THE WOUND AND THE ABANDONMENT

AND THE REJECTION, THE

UNFAITHFULNESS AND JUST THE

MESS AND EVENTUALLY THAT

MARRIAGE WITH MY FIRST WIFE

CAME TO AN END AND I'M AT A

PLACE LIKE GOD HOW ARE YOU EVER

GOING TO FIX LIKE ME?

AND I REMEMBER ONE DAY I WAS

SITTING IN CHURCH AND I WAS SO

JUST BROKEN AND THERE WAS A

SPEAKER THERE FROM SOUTH AFRICA

AND HE DIDN'T KNOW ME FROM A

PARASITE.

HE WOULD NEVER CLUE WHO I AM

AND IN THE MIDDLE OF HIS

MESSAGE HE STOPPED PREACHING

AND WORE THE HAT OFF THE STAGE

COMES INTO THE ROW AND HE

POINTS HIS FINGER AT ME AND YOU

TALK ABOUT GREED BY MY AND I

REMEMBER WHEN HE SPOKE TO ME I

BEGIN TO BREAK DOWN AND WE

SHOWED ME THAT GOD'S TO LOVE ME

AND GOD SAW ME AND GOD IN HIS

MERCY WAS ABLE TO HELP ME FIND

A WAY BACK TO THE FOOT OF THE

CROSS IN REPENTANCE I HAD TO

SETTLE IN MY HEART BECAUSE I

THANK THE LORD PROMPTED MY

HEART IF HE DID CHOOSE TO BRING

ME BACK TO AMERICA.

BUT IF HE CHOSE TO SEND ME A

LITTLE OUT OF THE WAY PLACES

THAT MANY MANY FIVE, TEN, 15

PEOPLE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE

IN A LITTLE OR COMMUNITY OR

SOMEONE'S HOME WOULD YOU BE

CONTENT WITH THAT I HONESTLY

HAD TO COME TO A PLACE OF

SAYING YES LORD AND SO THAT'S

WHAT I'VE BEEN DOING.

I MET THIS OTHER RECORDING

ARTIST, THIS WONDERFUL LADY WE

GOT MARRIED IN OUR HOME CHURCH

AT THAT TIME AND IN FLORIDA NOW

I THINK TANYA AND I HAVE THE

MOST INCREDIBLE PRIVILEGE AS

MISSIONARIES TO AMERICA THROUGH

OUTREACH USA THE MINISTRY WE'RE

LOOKING TO TO BRING A MESSAGE

OF HOPE TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS, DRUG

AND ALCOHOL REHAB FACILITIES TO

TO LOCAL COMMUNITY WITH

MILITARY BASES AROUND THIS

GREAT NATION.

I TELL MY STORY TODAY HUMBLED

BECAUSE IT'S ABOUT GOD AND HIS

LOVE AND HIS FAITHFULNESS AND

HE'S GOOD AT HIS MERCY.

I BELIEVE HE'S NOT ONLY GOD

OF THE MOUNTAINTOP BUT HE'S GOD

OF THE VALLEY OF THE STORM, OF

THE GRIEF, THE OF THE

SHIPWRECK, OF THE LOSS OF THE

PAIN THAT HE'S THERE EVERY STEP

OF THE WAY.

HE IS THERE EVERY STEP OF THE

WAY AND MAYBE YOU CAN RELATE TO

JOHN'S EXPERIENCE.

IT'S EASY TO BE GREAT FROM A

DISTANCE BUT WHEN WE DON'T

MAINTAIN THE CLOSENESS TO THE

ONE WHO HAS SAVED US FROM

OURSELVES, WE BECOME TO

EVERYTHING AROUND US WE BECOME

PREY TO THE ONE WHO IS LOOKING

TO DESTROY US AND THEN HE

BEGINS TO DO THAT ONE STEP AT A

TIME UNTIL WE FIND OURSELVES

DEAD AND THE ONE WHO GIVES US

LIFE AND CRY OUT AND SAY GOD,

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN ME?

IF THAT'S YOU TODAY I WANT TO

SAY TO YOU HE HAS NOT FORGOTTEN

YOU BUT THIS IS THE JOURNEY.

IT'S ONE OF SURRENDER.

I SURRENDER ALL ALL TO JESUS.

I SURRENDER YOU KNOW IT'S

WHAT HE REQUIRES OF US.

I SEE THE END OF ME AND GOD THE

BEGINNING OF YOU IN ME AND

THERE ISN'T ANY SPECIAL FORM

THAT YOU HAVE TO FOLLOW FOR

THAT THERE ISN'T ANY SPECIAL

ACCOMPLISHMENT YOU HAVE TO

FOLLOW.

WHOSOEVER WILL MAY COME BUT YOU

HAVE TO DIE AND THAT'S JUST

PART OF THE PROCESS IF YOU FIND

YOURSELF TODAY FAR FROM THE

HEART OF GOD IF YOU FIND

YOURSELF TODAY SAYING WHERE IS

THE PERSON WHO WHO FOUND JOY IN

THE LORD WHO REJOICED IN

WORSHIP WHO KNEW WHO GOD YOU

CAN COME BACK TO THAT JESUS

SAYS THAT WHEN WE DRAW NEAR TO

HIM HE'LL DRAW NEA

GETS US HE MADE US COME TO HIM

TODAY JUST CONFESS YOU'VE

GOTTEN ON THE WRONG PATH AND

ASK HIM TO BRING YOU BACK.

IT'S HIS JOY TO DO THAT.

HE LEAVES THE 99 TO GO AFTER

THE ONE WHO'S LOST.
