CONGRESS CERTIFIED HIS VICTORY

IN A PEACEFUL CEREMONY CEREMONY

WITH NO OBJECTION FOUR YEARS

AGO, HUNDREDS OF TRUMP

SUPPORTERS DISRUPTED

2020 ELECTION.

THE PRESIDENT ELECT HAS VOWED

PARDON SOME OF THOSE WHO WERE

CHARGED FOR THEIR ACTIONS THAT

WENDY GRIFFITH HAS MORE.

KAMALA DO YOU HARRIS.

KAMALA HARRIS OF THE STATE

OF HAS RECEIVED 226 VOTES.

VICE PRESIDENT KAMALA HARRIS

WHO LOST TO TRUMP PRESIDED OVER

THE CEREMONY AS OF THE SENATE.

TODAY I DID WHAT I HAVE DONE

MY ENTIRE CAREER PERFORMING MY

CONSTITUTIONAL DUTIES TO ENSURE

THAT THE PEOPLE OF AMERICA THE

OF AMERICA WILL HAVE THEIR

VOTES COUNTED.

THE PROCESS WAS PEACEFUL AND

ORDERLY WITH NO OBJECTIONS.

THIS IS A GREAT DAY FOR THE

COUNTRY TO CERTIFY THE ELECTION

OF TRUMP AS THE 47TH PRESIDENT.

THAT'S OUR FOCUS TODAY.

THE CAPITOL HEAVY SECURITY FOR

THE EVENT AFTER THE DISRUPTION

IN 2020.

THIS WAS THE SCENE FOUR

YEARS AGO WHEN ANGRY TRUMP

CLASHED WITH POLICE AND

ILLEGALLY ENTERED THE CAPITOL

BELIEVING THE ELECTION HAD BEEN

STOLEN.

ON JANUARY 2021, TRUMP URGED

PROTESTERS TO MARCH TO THE

CAPITOL CALLING ON THEN VICE

PRESIDENT MIKE PENCE TO REJECT

THE RESULTS OF THE 2020

ELECTION.

MORE THAN 1200 PEOPLE HAVE

BEEN CONVICTED OR PLED GUILTY

TO CHARGES TIED TO THE ATTACK.

TRUMP HAS PROMISED PARDON

SOME CALLING THEM POLITICAL

PRISONERS PARDONING THE

CRIMINALS WHO ASSAULTED POLICE

OFFICERS AND, TRIED TO HALT THE

DEMOCRATIC PROCESS WOULD BE A

DANGEROUS ENDORSEMENT OF

POLITICAL VIOLENCE.

INSIDE ELECTIONS DATA

GONZALEZ TOLD CBS FACE THE

NATION PARDONS ARE NOT HE HOPES

HISTORY WILL VIEW JANUARY SIX,

2021 AS A STAIN ON OUR COUNTRY

.

WE CAME VERY CLOSE TO NOT

HAVING A PEACEFUL TRANSFER OF

POWER WHICH IS A HALLMARK OF

OUR COUNTRY.

AND SO WHETHER PRESIDENT TRUMP

PARDONS FOLKS NOT I HOPE THAT

IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WHAT

HAPPENED IN THE SEVERITY OF THE

VIOLENCE THAT HAPPENED ON

JANUARY SIX, 20 21.

UNLIKE FOUR YEARS AGO THERE

WERE NO OBJECTIONS OR

CHALLENGES THE ELECTION

RESULTS.

PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP CLAIMS

HIS WIN IS MANDATE FROM THE

AMERICAN PEOPLE TO IMPLEMENT

HIS AGENDA.

HE'LL BE SWORN IN AS THE

NATION'S 47TH PRESIDENT ON

MONDAY, JANUARY 20TH.

WENDY GRIFFITH, CBN NEWS.

WELL, PEACEFUL TRANSITIONS

OF POWER HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A

HALLMARK OF OUR DEMOCRACY IN

OUR WONDERFUL AMERICAN REPUBLIC

WHERE WE GET TO ELECT

REPRESENTATIVES AND THEY ARE

SUPPOSED TO REPRESENT US IN

CONGRESS AND IN THE SENATE AND

IN THE WHITE HOUSE THAT IS THE

PLAN.

AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE A

PARTICULAR CANDIDATE, YOU DON'T

LIKE THE RESULTS OF A

PARTICULAR ELECTION.

THERE'S SOME WONDERFULLY

GOOD NEWS.

YOU GET TO DO IT AGAIN IN TWO

YEARS.

YOU GET TO ELECT A WHOLE NEW

CONGRESS THAT IN FOUR YEARS

THERE GET TO BE ANOTHER

PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

MY HOPE MY PRAYER IS THAT THE

RHETORIC GETS REALLY REDUCED

HERE AND WE'VE SEEN AN

INCREDIBLE AMOUNT OF VIOLENCE

AROUND POLITY TWO ASSASSINATION

ATTEMPTS JUST LAST YEAR.

WHAT HAPPENED IN 2020?

IT'S ALL BASED ON WHAT IS BEING

TOLD TO PEOPLE.

IF YOU THINK SOMEONE

CAMPAIGNING FOR HIGH OFFICE IN

AMERICA IS WELL THAT'S THAT'S A

PARTICULARLY VIOLENT PHRASE TO

USE AND, YOU SHOULDN'T BE

SURPRISED THAT IT'S STARTS A

VIOLENT CHAIN OF REACTION.

WE CAN'T HAVE THAT KIND OF

THING.

MY HOPE MY PRAYER IS THAT WE

CAN COME TOGETHER AS A NATION.

MY AND MY PRAYER IS THAT WE

REALIZE THAT RIGHTEOUSNESS

EXALTS A NATION.

THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY IS

CERTAINLY NOT.

BUT IF WE CAN COME TO AGREEMENT

THAT WE'RE REGARDLESS OF OUR

VIEWS ON TAX POLICY OR

INTERNATIONAL POLICY WHEN WE'RE

AT HOME WE NEED TO BE

ONE NATION UNDER GOD,

INDIVISIBLE WITH LIBERTY AND

JUSTICE FOR ALL.

WELL, IN OTHER NEWS, THE WINTER

STORM BLANKETED MUCH OF THE

NATION IS BEING BLAMED FOR AT

LEAST SIX DEATHS.

LAURIE JOHNSON HAS THAT STORY

AND.

MORE FROM THE CBS NEWSROOM.

LAURIE THAT'S RIGHT.

GORDON THE STORM STRETCHED FOR

1500 MILES TYING UP INTERSTATES

FOR HOURS AND FORCING AIRLINES

TO CANCEL ABOUT 4000 FLIGHTS

AND SUNDAY DROPPING 18 INCHES

OF SNOW ON PARTS OF KANSAS AND

AS MUCH AS EIGHT INCHES ON

WASHINGTON DC.

CLOSING DOWN SCHOOLS AND

FEDERAL OFFICERS FOR THE SECOND

DAY.

A NEW STORM DEVELOPING THAT

COULD BRING SNOW AND ICE TO THE

SOUTH ON THURSDAY.

ON THE WEST COAST A LIFE

THREATENING WIND STORM IS

BREWING.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA COULD

EXPERIENCE IT COULD EXPERIENCE

GUSTS UP TO 100 MILES AN HOUR

TODAY AND TOMORROW.

CREATING AN EXTREME FIRE

DANGER.

PRESIDENT BIDEN PAID HIS

RESPECTS TO THE FAMILIES OF THE

VICTIMS OF THE TERROR IN NEW

ORLEANS.

THE CITY NOW IN TWO WEEKS OF

MOURNING ONE DAY FOR EACH OF

THE 14 VICTIMS.

MR. BIDEN TO COMFORT THEIR

FAMILIES AT A PRAYER EVENT AT

THE HISTORIC SAINT LOUIS

CATHEDRAL.

MY WIFE JILL AND I ARE HERE

TO STAND WITH YOU TO AGREE WITH

YOU PRAY WITH YOU.

LET YOU KNOW YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

THE REST OF THE NATION IS

LOOKING AT YOU AS WELL.

INVESTIGATORS SAY SUSPECT

TWICE VISITED NEW ORLEANS IN

THE WEEKS BEFORE THE ATTACK

RECORDING THE AREA WITH HANDS

FREE GLASSES.

SURVEILLANCE VIDEO SHOWS HIM

PLANTING TWO COOLERS ON BOURBON

STREET WITH EXPLOSIVE DEVICES

INSIDE.

OFFICIALS SAY THE CARNAGE COULD

HAVE BEEN MUCH WORSE IF POLICE

HAD NOT SHOT HIM BEFORE HE WAS

ABLE TO USE A REMOTE DETONATOR.

THE CITY WILL RECEIVE MORE

FEDERAL RESOURCES TO INCREASE

SECURITY AS MARDI GRAS SEASON

BEGINS AND THE SUPER BOWL WILL

BE HELD THERE NEXT MONTH.

TURNING NOW TO THE DEBATE

FLUORIDE IN DRINKING WATER.

A NEW STUDY LINKS HIGH OF

FLUORIDE TO LOWER IQ IN

CHILDREN.

REPORT REVIEWED STUDIES IN 70

NATIONS BUT DID NOT INCLUDE THE

US.

IT FOUND THAT FLUORIDE LEVELS

EXCEED

PER LITER IS ASSOCIATED WITH

DROP OF MORE THAN ONE AND A

HALF IQ POINTS IN CHILDREN.

MEDICAL EXPERTS POINT OUT THAT

LEVEL IS DOUBLE THE RECOMMENDED

AMOUNT OF FLUORIDE IN THE U.S.

THE STUDY IN NO WAY IS SAYING

THAT THEY FOUND A CAUSE BETWEEN

HIGH LEVELS OF FLUORIDE AND LOW

IQ LEVELS IN CHILDREN.

WHAT STUDY HAS SHOWN IS THAT AT

CERTAIN LEVELS THEY HAVE FOUND

A POSSIBLE LINK BETWEEN HIGH

LEVELS OF FLUORIDE EXPOSURE AND

LOWER IQ LEVELS IN CHILDREN.

ROBERT F KENNEDY JR.

PRESIDENT ELECT TRUMP'S NOMINEE

FOR SECRETARY OF HEALTH HAS

LONG CALLED FOR REMOVING

FLUORIDE FROM DRINKING WATER.

THE STUDY DID NOT THAT COURSE

OF ACTION.

CHILDREN WHO STRUGGLE TO

READ FACE GREATER DIFFICULTIES

LATER IN LIFE.

SUPER BOWL CHAMPION MALCOLM

MITCHELL HAD HIS OWN CHALLENGES

WITH READING AS A CHILD.

THAT'S WHY HE'S ON A MISSION TO

IMPROVE RATES AS MITCHELL TOLD

CBN SHARLENE AARON HE FINDS IT

MORE REWARDING THAN PLAYING IN

THE NFL TACKLING KIDS LISTENING

TO MALCOLM MITCHELL YOU WOULD

NEVER KNOW HE HAD CHALLENGES IN

THE CLASSROOM.

WELL I GREW UP A STRUGGLING

READER.

IT WAS VERY DIFFICULT FOR ME.

LIKE MANY TEENAGERS IN VALDOSTA

HE GRAVITATED TO SPORTS

BECOMING STAR FOOTBALL PLAYER

IN HIGH SCHOOL.

WHILE MITCHELL EARNED A

SCHOLARSHIP TO PLAY AT THE

UNIVERSITY OF GEORGIA, HE COULD

ONLY READ AT A JUNIOR HIGH

LEVEL.

MITCHELL REALIZED THE NEED

TO IMPROVE HIS SKILLS OFF THE

FIELD AND SOON DEVELOPED A LOVE

FOR READING.

AND I SAW PEOPLE DOING

THINGS THAT I HAD NEVER SEEN

BEFORE LIKE STUDY AND READ AND

WRITE AND USE THEIR BRAIN TO

GET THE OUTCOME THAT THEY

WANTED.

AND I IMMEDIATELY STARTED THAT

READING WAS THE MOST SELF

EMPOWERING TOOL A PERSON COULD

POSSESS.

THAT NEWFOUND CONFIDENCE LED

MITCHELL TO WRITE THE

MAGICIAN'S A BOOK FOR CHILDREN.

JUST AS I PRACTICE FOOTBALL OUR

PRACTICE READING AND OVER TIME

I GET BETTER AND BETTER AND

BETTER.

AND THEN I LEARNED THE

CONSEQUENCES OF LOW LITERACY

AND THAT ONLY INSPIRED ME TO

WANT TO DO THE SAME FOR OTHERS

THAT BOOKS HAD DONE FOR ME AND

THAT WAS ENCOURAGE THEM TO

READ.

SO THE MAGICIAN'S HAT IS A

STORY ABOUT A MAGICIAN TEACHING

KIDS SOME MAGIC TRICKS BUT THE

BEST TRICK OF ALL IS PROVING TO

KIDS THAT READING CAN HELP MAKE

YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.

MITCHELL'S CAME TRUE IN

2015.

AFTER GRADUATING WITH A

COMMUNICATIONS STUDIES DEGREE,

THE NEW ENGLAND PATRIOTS

DRAFTED HIM AND TWO YEARS LATER

THE TEAM WON THEIR SUPER BOWL.

WHAT THEY WANT TO BE WHEN

THEY GROW UP.

THAT YEAR ALSO HAD A

DOWNSIDE AS A KNEE INJURY

FORCED HIM TO RETIRE FROM

FOOTBALL.

MITCHELL USED THAT AS AN

OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON HIS

OTHER LOVE STARTED A HIGH

ENERGY READING EXPERIENCE FOR

PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS.

THAT LED TO A PARTNERSHIP

WITH THE NEW E-3 SCHOOL IN

HAMPTON ROADS, AN INNOVATIVE

FACILITY FOCUSED ON ELEVATING

EARLY EDUCATION.

WE HAVE SIMILAR PASSIONS

BOOK OWNERSHIP, MAKING SURE

KIDS HAVE THE TOOLS AND

RESOURCES TO BECOME READERS.

ALSO TRYING TO INSPIRE AND

BRING AWARENESS TO A CAUSE VERY

IMPORTANT.

WHAT THE RALLIES DO IN

PARTNERSHIP WITH THREE IS IT

CREATES THIS MOMENT WHERE WE

CELEBRATE READING TO THE SAME

DEGREE IN WHICH THIS COUNTRY

CELEBRATES SPORT.

WHILE THE FORMER FOOTBALL

PLAYER SEES WINNING A SUPER

BOWL RING A HIGHLIGHT IN HIS

LIFE, HE CREDITS EMPOWERING

STUDENTS AS BEING HIS GREATEST

SUCCESS.

MAYBE IT MADE PEOPLE SMILE

JUST A MOMENT IF I CAUGHT A

PASS OR SCORED A TOUCHDOWN OR A

BLOCK BUT THEN IT'S FLEETING.

BOOKS ARE PERMANENT AND WAS

PLAYING FOOTBALL TO HELP ME.

I STARTED WRITING TO HELP

OTHERS.

I STAND BY THAT STATEMENT.

I CHERISH THE BOOKS MUCH MORE

THAN I DO THE RING.

NOT TRYING TO DEVOUR.

WHAT THAT MEANS IN SOCIETY BUT

READING IS IMPORTANT THAN

FOOTBALL.

PERIOD.

WHILE STILL IN THE MITCHELL

ESTABLISHED THE SHARE THE MAGIC

FOUNDATION TO TRANSFORM

CHILDREN'S LIVES THROUGH

LITERACY.

SINCE ITS LAUNCH THOUSANDS HAVE

FOUND A LOVE FOR READING.

THESE VICTORIES MITCHELL

SAYS, HAVE BEEN FUELED BY HIS

FAITH.

MY FAITH HAS ALLOWED ME TO

PERSEVERE IN MOMENTS WHERE I

KNOW I PHYSICALLY AS A HUMAN

BEING DON'T HAVE THE

PSYCHOLOGICAL STRENGTH TO

PREVAIL WHERE I DEEP DOWN WANT

TO QUIT AND I'VE WANTED TO QUIT

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS.

BUT MY FAITH KEEPS ME IN THE

FIGHT BECAUSE I KNOW IF I HOLD

ON LONG ENOUGH THE LIGHT AT THE

END OF THE TUNNEL WILL SHOW

ITSELF.

CHARLENE AARON CBN NEWS WOW

WHAT A BEAUTIFUL STORY.

GOD BLESS.

GORDON, BACK TO YOU.

AND WHAT AN INSPIRING LIFE IF

YOU'RE A GRANDPARENT, IF YOU'RE

A PARENT.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO MAKE YOUR

CHILDREN HAVE BOOKS NOT JUST

SCREENS BUT AN ACTUAL TANGIBLE

BOOK AND THAT YOU READ IT TO

THEM WHEN WHEN YOU START A

LIFETIME OF READING YOU REALLY

REALIZE READING IS FUNDAMENTAL.

THAT'S FUNDAMENTAL MENTAL

GROWTH.

AND STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THE

NUMBER OF WORDS THAT A CHILD IS

EXPOSED IN THAT CRUCIAL

DEVELOPMENT DEVELOP, DEVELOP

PERIOD.

SO FROM BIRTH TO AGE FIVE

BEFORE SCHOOLS GET INVOLVED,

BEFORE KINDERGARTENS GET

INVOLVED THE MORE THE THE

NUMBER OF WORDS THAT CAN

COMMUNICATE TO THEM AND SHOW

THEM AND ACTUALLY INCREASE IS

THEIR BRAIN CAPACITY MORE

NEURONS ARE FORMED BASED ON THE

NUMBER OF WORDS THAT THEY HAVE

TO PROCESS.

SO TALK TO THEM AND DON'T TALK

BABY TALK BUT TO HIM LIKE

THEY'RE A REAL HUMAN BEING AND

ESPECIALLY READ TO THEM AND AND

SHOW THEM THAT THEY CAN GET THE

SAME WORDS THEMSELVES.

IT'S NOT MAGIC.

IT'S VERY PRACTICAL AND WHEN

YOU DO THAT YOU'LL GIVE THEM A

TAMARA STAY CONNECTED WITH CBN

NEWS ALL DAY ACROSS OUR

PLATFORMS A WORSHIP EXPERIENCE

UNLIKE ANY OTHER.

THE LATEST IN LASER TECHNOLOGY

AND CHRISTIAN MUSIC COME

TOGETHER IN THE EXHIBIT

ENTITLED ALL CREATION SINGS.

WENDY GRIFFIS BRINGS US THE

DYNAMIC SIGHTS AND SOUNDS THE

MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE WE WELCOME

TO THE MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE'S

LATEST FEATURE ALL CREATION

SINGS INSPIRED BY PSALM 148

WHICH DECLARES LET THEM PRAISE

THE NAME OF THE LORD.

IT'S A 45 MINUTE EXPERIENCE

POSING THE QUESTION WHAT IS

WORSHIP TO WHEN SOMEBODY SAYS

WORSHIP TO ME?

MY MIND IMMEDIATELY GOES TO

THE THING THAT WE DO AT CHURCH

SUNDAYS BEFORE THE PASTOR GETS

UP AND GIVES THE SERMON AND

INDEED THAT IS WORSHIP.

BUT AS THE BIBLE TALKS ABOUT

WORSHIP IT'S SO MUCH MORE THAN

THAT.

SO THE STORY IS THE STORY OF

THE BIBLE.

IT'S TAKING YOU FROM CREATION

OR GENESIS ALL THE WAY TO

REVELATION

LIGHT DETECTION AND 3D LASER

TECHNOLOGY.

YOU CAN LITERALLY INTERACT

WITH THE WALLS SUDDENLY.

I'M A LITTLE KID AGAIN AND I

COULD GO AND CREATE PAINT ON

THE WALLS AT THE BEGINNING AND

AT THE END OF STORY.

THE MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE

TEAMED UP WITH A GROUP CALLED

CREATOR.

IT'S TO FEATURE SOME OF

CHRISTIAN MUSIC'S BIGGEST NAMES

FOR THIS JACKI HILL, PERRY AND

TASHA COPPS, LEONARD AND

BRANDON KARI JOBE CODY CARNES,

PHIL WICKHAM.

BROOKE LIGGETT WOOD, CHRIS

TOMLIN.

IT IS THE WHO'S WHO THAT

HAVE COME TOGETHER TO CREATE

THIS ORGANIZATION CALLED

CREATOR LENDING THEIR TO THIS

BEFORE YOU GO INTO THE

EXPERIENCE REALLY SETTING THE

EXPERIENCE SO THAT YOUR HEART

AND YOUR MIND IS TO TALK ABOUT

WORSHIP AND WHAT IT IS WHO

DEEMS IT WORTHY.

ALL CREATION SINGS IS NOT SO

MUCH AN EXHIBIT AS AN

EXPERIENCE IT TAKES GUESTS ON A

JOURNEY THROUGH FOUR ACTS

IMMERSING THEM IN A WORSHIP

ADVENTURE THAT CAN ONLY BE

DESCRIBED AS HEAVENLY MOTHER

AND DAUGHTER MADISON AND LAURA

TO MICHAEL FROM OHIO WE'RE

ENTHRALLED TO SEE THE WORD OF

GOD COME ALIVE FRONT OF ME AND

JUST TO BE A PART OF THAT

CACOPHONY OF PRAISE.

LIKE THEY SAID IN THE BEGINNING

IT IS A CONTINUAL PRAISE THAT

IS ECHOING TO OUR LORD AND OUR

BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT.

IT WAS AN EXPERIENCE BY FAR IT

WAS INCREDIBLE.

I'VE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING

LIKE IT.

LIKE ALL THE COLORS, ALL OF THE

SOUNDS.

THIS HAS GOT TO BE A LITTLE

FORETASTE WHAT HAPPENS.

OH, ABSOLUTELY.

ABSOLUTELY.

TO JUST A PART OF IT TO HEAR IT

SURROUNDING YOU.

IT MAKES ME EXCITED TO SEE

HAPPENED WILL BE LIKE YES, I AM

SUPER EXCITED BUT NOT YET NOT

YET?

NO, NOT YET.

NOT YET.

SIXTH GRADERS FROM OUR LADY OF

VICTORY SCHOOL IN WASHINGTON

APPEARED CAPTIVATED BY THE

EXPERIENCE.

THOUGHT IT WAS REALLY COOL.

IT WAS INTERACTIVE.

I'VE BEEN TO AN INTERACTIVE

THING LIKE THAT BEFORE BUT NOT

ALL AROUND AND LIKE WITH

SCREENS AND THE PROJECTORS AND

EVERYTHING IT WAS AMAZING.

I THINK IT WAS AMAZING AND

IT WAS KIND OF OUT OF THIS

WORLD.

I THOUGHT IT WAS GOING TO BE

LIKE VIRTUAL REALITY SO THIS

WAS PRETTY COOL AND IT WAS KIND

OF LIKE THAT.

WHAT WAS YOUR FAVORITE PART?

MY FAVORITE PART WAS PROBABLY

THE RUNNING AROUND AND TOUCHING

THE WALLS.

IT WAS SO AWESOME.

LIKE THERE WAS ALL THE COLORS

AND ALL THE LIGHTS AND THE

SOUND.

IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST

AMAZING THINGS I'VE BEEN TO SO

FAR IN MY LIFE.

I THOUGHT WAS FANTASTIC

ACTUALLY.

LIKE THERE WAS LIKE ALL THESE

COLORS AND LIKE KNOW LIKE THE

ANIMATION AND I JUST REALLY

LOVED IT FOR THEIR TEACHER

JENNA DRUMMOND.

IT HELPED BRING THE OLD

TESTAMENT STORIES BEEN TEACHING

HER STUDENTS TO LIFE.

GOING BACK TO WHAT WE'VE

BEEN TALKING ABOUT ALL YEAR I

TEACH RELIGION FOR SIXTH GRADE

WHICH IS OLD TESTAMENT SO

CREATION STORY HOW WE CONTINUE

THAT IN OUR DAILY LIVES, HOW WE

CONTINUE TO PAY THAT FORWARD IN

DC AND FOR THE BIBLE MUSEUM

IT'S A WAY TO FOCUS GUESTS ON

OUR ORIGINAL PURPOSE AS OF GOD

WORSHIP IT IS OUR PURPOSE

THAT'S WE'RE CREATED FOR,

RIGHT?

SO GOD CREATED US AND YOU KNOW

HE CREATED OUR UNIVERSE TO SEE

THE THE GREATNESS OUR CREATION,

THE GREATNESS OF GOD'S DESIGN

IN, OUR EXISTENCE.

IT TAKES YOU TO KIND OF A

HUMBLE REALLY REFLECTIVE PLACE.

RIGHT?

AND I THINK THAT'S ALWAYS A

GOOD STARTING POINT TO KIND OF

FIND YOUR YOUR SPACE AND THE

CONTEXT OF OUR EXISTENCE OF

THIS WORLD.

AND I THINK THAT'S

SPECIFICALLY ATTRACTIVE FOR

PEOPLE DON'T HAVE A FAITH

BACKGROUND, RIGHT?

BECAUSE IT KIND OF GIVES THE

NEW NORTH STAR KIND OF TO

UNDERSTAND SO WHAT ON EARTH AM

I HERE FOR?

WENDY GRIFFITHS, CBN NEWS,

WASHINGTON.

CONGRATULATIONS TO THE

MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE.

WHAT A WONDERFUL EXHIBIT

SOMETHING ENTERTAINS BOTH YOUNG

AND OLD WHEN YOU HAVE SIXTH

GRADERS SAYING THIS IS THE BEST

AND THAT IS A WONDERFUL THING.

SO IF YOU'RE EVER IN

WASHINGTON DC I ENCOURAGE IT TO

GO TO THE MUSEUM OF THE BIBLE

AND YOU CAN EVEN MAKE A SPECIAL

TRIP OUT OF IT.

SO IT'S A IT'S A WONDERFUL WAY

TO ENGAGE WITH SCRIPTURE AND

LET'S ENGAGE THIS NEXT THE

ABRAHAM WAS SEVEN, DOCTORS

FEARED HE'D NEVER AGAIN.

JUST A FEW MONTHS LATER HE

WALKED OUT OF A REHAB CENTER ON

HIS OWN.

A FEW YEARS LATER HE DID

SOMETHING MORE IMPRESSIVE.

ABRAHAM AND HIS DAD HIKED ALL

THE WAY UP MOUNT KILIMANJARO TO

MOUNT KILIMANJARO.

EVEN THE MOST EXPERIENCED

CLIMBERS HAVE TO BATTLE

PHYSICAL AND MENTAL EXHAUSTION

TO REACH 19,341 FOOT SUMMIT.

ONE MAN AND HIS 12 YEAR OLD SON

HAD OTHER OBSTACLES OVERCOME.

ME BEING A 42 YEAR OLD EXACT

AND A 12 YEAR OLD TEMPORARILY

DISABLED BOY DID NOT HAVE THE

CAPACITY TO CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN

.

RYAN MADDOX AND HIS WIFE

JESSICA DREADED THE LONG DRIVE

TO SAN FRANCISCO FROM FARM IN

HORSE CREEK, CALIFORNIA.

THEY HAD NO CHOICE.

THAT'S WHERE THE DOCTOR WAS WHO

MIGHT BE ABLE TO SAVE THEIR

YEAR OLD SON ABRAHAM.

NOT ALWAYS A WAY TO DESCRIBE

THE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS THAT

YOU FEEL.

THREE DAYS EARLIER THEY'D

LEARNED THAT ABRAHAM HAD A

TUMOR IN HIS SPINE.

ACCORDING TO THEIR DOCTOR IT

WAS LIKELY TERMINAL.

HE WAS ASKING AM I GOING TO

PLAY BASEBALL AGAIN?

AND JUST BROKE MY HEART BECAUSE

I FELT THE ANSWER WAS TO BE NO.

AFTER ARRIVING AT THE

UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA CENTER

,THEY MET WITH PEDIATRIC

NEUROSURGEON DR. COREY RAVEL.

HE SAID THERE WAS A CHANCE THE

TUMOR WAS BENIGN BUT THE FIRST

PRIORITY WAS TO REMOVE IT.

EVEN THEN THERE WAS NO PERFECT

OUTCOME.

BUT I'M SURE I'M 100% SURE THAT

WHEN TALKING TO HIM AND THE

FAMILY I TOLD HIM WAS A CHANCE

HE'D BE PARALYZED.

AS I WAS CRYING BECAUSE I WAS

LIKE THIS WILL BE THE LAST TIME

YOU KNOW THERE WAS DEFINITELY A

OF PRESSURE.

SO REACHING OUT TO EVERYBODY

AND EVERYTHING, YOU KNOW,

ANYWHERE WE PLEASE, PLEASE,

PLEASE PRAY THIS IS WHAT'S

GOING ON WITH OUR SON RIGHT NOW

IN SURGERY DR. RAVEL FOUND THE

TUMOR HAD SPREAD THROUGHOUT

ABRAHAM'S SPINAL CORD AFTER

REMOVING A PORTION TO BE TESTED

FOR CANCER.

HE BEGAN THE INCREDIBLY

DELICATE PROCEDURE THAT WOULD

LAST 11 HOURS.

IT'S NOT SO MUCH TAKING THE

TUMOR OUT.

IT'S GETTING IT TO THE EDGE AND

GETTING OUT BECAUSE THE MIDDLE

OF IT IT'S ABNORMAL.

YOU JUST TAKE IT OUT.

THEN YOU'VE GOT TO FIND THAT

EDGE.

BE VERY CAREFUL BECAUSE IF

YOU GO A LITTLE TOO FAR THEN

YOU'VE DONE SOME DAMAGE.

AFTER A SUCCESSFUL SURGERY,

ABRAHAM TAKEN TO RECOVERY.

BY THEN THE PATHOLOGY REPORT

HAD COME BACK.

THE TUMOR WAS BENIGN.

ADDING TO THE GOOD NEWS ABRAHAM

COULD MOVE HIS

OTHER SIGNS, HOWEVER, WERE LESS

PROMISING.

YOU KNOW, WE COULD SEE THAT

THERE WAS THERE NOTHING MOVING

IN HIS LEGS AS HARD AS HE WAS

FIGHTING WITH HIS ARMS.

YEAH.

JESSICA REFUSED TO BELIEVE

THIS WAS WHERE IT ENDED.

I'VE NEVER BEEN SO FIRM WITH

GOD THAT I'M TAKING NO FOR AN

ANSWER LIKE HE'S GOING TO WALK

AGAIN.

TWO DAYS LATER ON

THANKSGIVING DAY, ABRAHAM MOVED

ONE OF HIS LEGS WHILE WORKING

WITH A PHYSICAL THERAPIST.

EVEN THOUGH HE CONTINUED TO

PROGRESS.

DR. RAFAEL THEM THAT THIS WOULD

BE A VERY LONG PROCESS.

YOU CAN'T GET THAT'S

ENCOURAGING THAT HE CAN MOVE AT

ALL.

I THINK WE'RE GOING TO SEE A

GOOD BIT OF IMPROVEMENT.

BUT WHEN YOU COME BACK TO ME IN

SIX WEEKS AND SAY WELL HE'S

IMPROVED BUT, IT'S NOT REALLY

GOOD YET I'D SAY WELL LET'S

WAIT ANOTHER SIX WEEKS AND THEN

YOU COME BACK IN THREE MONTHS

AND I'M GOING TO SAY LET'S WAIT

ANOTHER THREE MONTHS BECAUSE IT

TAKES A YEAR OR TWO TO SEE

WHERE THE SPINAL IS GOING TO

SETTLE DOWN AFTER HAVING AN

INSULT LIKE THAT.

ABRAHAM TO PROGRESS AND AFTER

TWO MONTHS IN REHAB WAS

RELEASED INSTEAD OF BEING

WHEELED OUT IN A WHEELCHAIR HE

CONVINCED THE STAFF TO LET HIM

WALK OUT USING A WALKER.

AFTER ALL, THERE WAS MONEY

AT STAKE.

MY GRANDPA HAD BET $200 THAT

THEY WOULD MAKE ME WHEELCHAIR

OUT.

I HE JUST DIDN'T ACTUALLY

BELIEVE I THINK HE WAS ACTUALLY

JUST TRYING TO ENCOURAGE ME.

I WON THE BET.

I THINK THAT'S MAINLY WHAT I

WAS THINKING.

OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS

WITH PHYSICAL THERAPY AND

PRAYER, ABRAHAM CONTINUED TO

IMPROVE AS HIS LEFT LEG FULLY

RECOVERED AND MOST OF HIS RIGHT

HE WENT ON TO ENJOY HIS

BROTHERS AND LIFE ON THE FAMILY

FARM.

THEN IN SEPTEMBER 2022, RYAN

AND ABRAHAM SET OUT TO CONQUER

MOUNT KILIMANJARO.

I THINK THE MESSAGE WAS NOT BY

MIGHT NOR BY POWER BUT BY MY

SPIRIT, SAYS THE LORD OF HOSTS.

AND THAT'S A SCRIPTURE THAT WE

MEDITATE ON AS WE WERE

CLIMBING.

AFTER A SIX DAY'S FIGHTING

FREEZING TEMPERATURES AND

FATIGUE, THEY REACHED THE

SUMMIT KNOWN AS WHO GREW PEAK.

WE WALKED UP TO THE SUMMIT

SIGN TOGETHER, TOUCHED IT AT

THE SAME TIME I HUGGED HIM,

TOLD HIM I LOVED HIM AND THAT I

WAS PROUD OF HIM.

WE TURNED AROUND, KIND OF JUST

LOOKED AT THE AND ALL I COULD

DO WAS PROCLAIM THAT GOD WAS A

GOD OF MIRACLES.

WAS LURED.

WE HAD TAKEN A BOY WHO WAS

PARALYZED AT SEA LEVEL TO

THOUSAND 341 FEET.

ABRAHAM TOOK IT ALL STRIDE.

I GUESS IT WOULD BE PRETTY

DISAPPOINTING TO HAVE DONE ALL

OF THAT AND NOT MAKE IT TO THE

TOP.

THE FAMILY MADE TO INCLUDE

DR. ROVELL IN THEIR CELEBRATION

.

THE FANS THE FAMILY SENT ME A

NOTE AND SAID AND SAID BOY, DID

THAT MAKE ME FEEL GOOD BECAUSE

IT REALLY IT REALLY WAS.

ABRAHAM, NOW A TEENAGER

CONTINUES TO LIVE LIFE WITH A

GREAT DEAL OF GUSTO.

HE KEEPS MOVING FORWARD,

PUSHING OBSTACLES ASIDE AND

PURSUING HIS NEXT ADVENTURE.

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN BETTER THAT

ABRAHAM WOULD BE ANYTHING

NORMAL BECAUSE THIS IS NOT HOW

GOD MADE ABRAHAM AND HE WENT

AND DID SOMETHING THAT

EXTRAORDINARY FOR ANY 12 YEAR

OLD TO DO.

I MEAN YOU ALWAYS FEEL LIKE

JESUS CAN DO ANYTHING BUT THEN

ONCE HE ACTUALLY DOES SOMETHING

INCREDIBLE IT'S DIFFERENT.

IT IS DIFFERENT WHEN YOU CAN

SEE THE MIRACLE, WHEN

EXPERIENCE IT AND IT CHANGES,

YOU GO WOW, REALLY IS TRUE.

GOD CAN DO ANYTHING.

I SPEAK FROM EXPERIENCE I WAS

SUPPOSED TO DIE FROM CEREBRAL

MALARIA.

DOCTORS HAD GIVEN UP BUT GOD

HADN'T AND HE SENT A PASTOR

PRAY FOR ME AND I GOT OUT OF

THAT BED AND I HEARD HIS VOICE.

GET UP GET TO WORK FOR I'VE

HEALED YOU.

THAT SAME GOD IS AVAILABLE TO

YOU BECAUSE HIM WE LIVE AND

MOVE AND HAVE OUR BEING BE LIKE

ABRAHAM ABRAHAM BECAUSE HE WAS

IMITATING HE DIDN'T CONSIDER

THE DEADNESS OF HIS OWN.

THAT'S WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

ABOUT ABRAHAM.

SO ABRAHAM HERE HE IS.

HE CAN'T MOVE HIS LEGS.

HE DOESN'T CONSIDER THE

DEADNESS OF HIS OWN BODY BUT HE

WAS FULLY PERSUADED THAT HE

WOULD PROMISE WAS ABLE AND I

LOVE THE WISDOM OF THAT

GRANDFATHER SAYING.

WELL, THERE'S $200 AT STAKE IF

YOU CAN WALK OUT OF THE

HOSPITAL I'LL BET YOU 200 BUCKS

WHAT A WONDERFUL THING TO DO TO

SAY YES GOD IS ABLE HE IS ABLE

TO DO EXCEEDINGLY ABUNDANTLY

ABOVE ALL WE COULD EVER ASK OR

THINK.

TERRY AND I ARE GOING TO

PRAY FOR YOU RIGHT NOW.

AND WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO IS

LET'S PREPARE AND THEN THAT

PREPARATION ASK YOURSELF THIS

THIS QUESTION HOW BIG IS

POSSIBLE?

GOOD GOD.

ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.

SO SO HOW BIG IS THAT.

EVEN THOUGH THE DOCTORS SAY YOU

MIGHT NOT NEVER AGAIN WELL HOW

BIG IS POSSIBLE IF DOCTORS SAY

WE'VE GIVEN UP WE CAUGHT YOUR

MALARIA WAY TOO LATE.

YOU'RE ON DEATH WATCH AND WE'RE

EXPECTING YOU TO DIE.

HOW BIG IS POSSIBLE?

WHAT CAN GOD DO?

WELL, YOU CAN DO ALL THINGS AND

WHEN YOU REALIZE CAN NEVER BE

TOO DEAD FOR A RESURRECTION

WELL YOU GET ALL FAITH YOU

NEED.

WE WERE GOING TO ENCOURAGE

YOU AS YOU THINK THAT THOUGHT

HOW BIG IS POSSIBLE?

HERE'S SOME OTHER MIRACLES.

HERE'S RON.

AND HE SAID ON THE LAST DAY OF

THE YEAR DECEMBER 31, 2020 FOR

US WATCHING THE 700 CLUB TERRY

GAVE A WORD OF KNOWLEDGE ABOUT

SOMEONE HAVING A CONDITION WAS

SPOTS ON THEIR TONGUE AND MOUTH

THAT KEEPS RECURRING.

SHE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT WAS GOD

WAS HEALING.

I KNOW I WOULD NO LONGER HAVE

THE PAIN.

WELL, TERRY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT

WAS.

I KNEW THAT IT WAS CANDIDA A

FORM OF A YEAST INFECTION THAT

KEEPS RECURRING BECAUSE OF

ANTIBIOTICS.

WHEN TERRY GAVE THIS WORD, I

KNEW IT WAS FOR ME.

OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS THE

SYMPTOMS SUBSIDED.

MY TONGUE WHICH HAS BEEN AS

WHITE AS A SHEET OF NOTEBOOK

PAPER WITH RED NOW PINK AGAIN

AND THE PAIN IS GONE.

I YEAH.

LOVE THAT GOD NEURONS NEED

THAT SPECIFICALLY.

WELL, THIS IS MARK.

HE EMAILED AND SAID ON FEBRUARY

26TH, 2024 I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH

SQUAMOUS CELL CARCINOMA OF THE

NECK AND THROAT.

IMMEDIATELY BEGAN

CHEMOTHERAPY, HAD SURGERY TO

REMOVE THE TUMORS AND THEN

CHEMOTHERAPY AND RADIATION

COMBINED THROUGH THE MIDDLE OF

AUGUST.

ONE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS IS THAT

MY SALIVA GLANDS NO LONGER

PRODUCE.

I'VE BEEN DRINKING CLOSE TO 200

OUNCES OF WATER EACH DAY JUST

TO KEEP MY MOUTH MOIST.

ON DECEMBER 18TH GORDON WAS

PRAYING AND SAID THAT SOMEONE

HAD BEEN HAVING TROUBLE WITH

THEIR SALIVA GLANDS, THAT THEY

WERE NO LONGER PRODUCING SALIVA

AND IT WAS THE RESULT OF

RADIATION FROM CANCER

TREATMENT.

I CLAIMED THIS MY SALIVA GLANDS

ARE WORKING AND THE HORRIBLE

SIDE EFFECTS FROM CANCER AND

RADIATION ARE NOW GONE TO GOD

BE THE GLORY.

HALLELUJAH.

LET'S PRAY.

LORD GOD ALMIGHTY WE COME TO

YOU COME TO YOU BELIEVING AND

WE COME PROCLAIMING YOUR GLORY

THAT WITH YOU ALL THINGS ARE

POSSIBLE.

EVERYTHING WE SEE YOU ROLLED

OUT THE HEAVENS WITH THE WORD

CREATED ALL THE MOUNTAINS, ALL

THE OCEANS YOU CREATE US AND SO

WHEN WE COME TO YOU WE REALIZE

YOU CAN FIX ANYTHING.

YOU HEAL US.

SO LORD, WE ASK FOR IT NOW WE

NUMBER ON YOUR SCREEN OR GO TO

CBN BECOME JESSICA ROONEY WAS

THIN BUT IT WAS NEVER ENOUGH.

SHE COUNTED CALORIES RESTRICTED

HER DIET PURGED AFTER MEALS.

JESSICA WAS OBSESSED WITH

HAVING A BETTER BODY EVEN IF

SHE WAS DESTROYING.

I WAS DEFINITELY BECOMING SUPER

THIN.

ALL MY CLOTHES WERE BAGGY AND

MY HAIR WAS GETTING THINNER

TRYING TO HIDE IT AND DO IT

SNEAKILY DIDN'T THINK I HAD A

PROBLEM THAT PUT ME AND A

PRISON.

JESSICA ROONEY GREW UP IN A

CHRISTIAN HOME GOING TO CHURCH

AND LEARNING ABOUT JESUS EVEN

THOUGH SHE KNEW THE BIBLE SAYS

ABOUT GOD'S LOVE.

SHE FOUND IT HARD TO BELIEVE.

I STRUGGLED TO FEEL LIKE I

WAS SOMETIMES A LOVABLE PERSON.

AROUND MIDDLE SCHOOL AGE I WAS

MORE SHY AT THAT TIME BECAUSE

DIDN'T REALLY LIKE MY

PERSONALITY.

I RELIED ON LOOKS AND WOULD TRY

TO GAIN APPROVAL PEOPLE

ESPECIALLY BOYS AND THAT WAY

YOU KNOW IT WASN'T ONLY FROM

GUYS BUT FEMALES AS WELL WOULD

COMPLIMENT OH YOU LOOK GOOD.

HOW DO YOU STAY THIN AND STUFF

LIKE THAT?

SO DEFINITELY ENCOURAGED ME TO

KEEP GOING DOWN THAT ROUTE AND

A REAL FOCUS AND ULTIMATELY AN

OBSESSION.

JESSICA BEGAN COUNTING CALORIES

AND RESTRICTING HER DIET BUT

THAT WASN'T ENOUGH.

SHE STARTED PURGING AFTER MEALS

EVENTUALLY BECOMING BULIMIC.

YOU KNOW ONE DAY YOU JUST

WAKE UP AND YOU SEE HOW FAR

YOU'VE GOTTEN AND YEAH, WEIGHED

LESS THAN £100.

I HAD BLACKED OUT BEFORE FROM

JUST THE MALNUTRITION IN MY

PERIODS STOP I STILL EVEN THOSE

THINGS HAPPENING I DIDN'T

REALLY HAVE THAT DESIRE TO

CHANGE.

FAMILY AND FRIENDS STAGED

INTERVENTION.

HER MOTHER INSISTED THAT SHE

SEEK HELP A FAITH BASED

TREATMENT CENTER.

MERCY MULTIPLIED NOW JESSICA

WENT RELUCTANTLY.

NOT SEEING ANY VALUE IN IT.

BUT THEN A CHRISTIAN COUPLE

CAME TO SHARE ABOUT THE LOVE OF

GOD AND THEY WERE SPEAKING

PROPHETIC WORDS OVER EACH

ONE OF US GIRLS.

THEY SAID SOMETHING ABOUT HOW I

WOULD HAVE MY OWN KIDS AND MY

OWN AND THE NIGHT BEFORE THAT

FOR THE FIRST TIME I SHARED

WITH ONE OF THE OTHER GIRLS

THERE WE WERE TALKING ABOUT HOW

WE WERE WORRIED THAT WE

WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO HAVE KIDS

DAY BECAUSE OF WHAT WE HAD DONE

TO OUR BODIES.

I KNEW IN THAT MOMENT THAT IT

WAS A WORD DIRECTLY GOD BECAUSE

IT WAS SO SPECIFIC AND SO TO ME

AND EVERYTHING CHANGED AND I

GOD WAS REAL.

I KNEW THAT HE SAW ME.

I KNEW THAT HE CARED ABOUT

ME.

JESSICA COMMITTED HER LIFE

TO CHRIST PRAYING, READING THE

WORD AND GROWING IN A

RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD SOON

REPLACED HER UNHEALTHY DESIRES

.

GOD DID DELIVER ME FROM

THESE EATING DISORDERS AND JUST

THE GRIP IT HAD OVER MY LIFE.

I AM JUST BLOWN AWAY BY WHERE

WHERE I'M AT AND THE FREEDOM

THAT I DO HAVE AND THE FREEDOM

THAT GOD HAS HAS GIVEN ME AND

BLESSED ME WITH.

AND YOU KNOW I'M SO SO THANKFUL

FOR HOW HE HAS RESTORED AND

BEING ABLE TO HAVE KIDS, BEING

ABLE TO BE STRONG AND HEALTHY.

I LOVED AND I AM ACCEPTED.

I AM DELIGHTED IN I AM

WORTHY AND I AM IN LOVE WITH

HIM AND SO ARE YOU.

YOU KNOW GOD, DIDN'T JUST

CREATE YOU.

HE CREATED YOU INTENTIONALLY IN

HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS AND

HE LOVES YOU WITH AN

EVERLASTING LOVE.

IF ANY OF THAT IS THE CHALLENGE

IN YOUR OWN MIND OR HEART

YOU'RE THINKING WE'D LOVE TO

PRAY WITH YOU.

WE'D LOVE TO SEE IT DELIVERED

FROM THAT INTO THE FREEDOM AND

THE FULLNESS OF BEING WHO GOD

YOU TO BE.

YOU CAN CALL OUR TOLL FREE

NUMBER ANY TIME 1-800-700-7000.

THERE'S A FRIEND ON THE OTHER

END THE LINE THAT'S JUST

WAITING FOR YOU TO CALL AND

THEY'D LOVE TO PRAY WITH YOU

TODAY SO PLEASE CONNECT WITH

US.

WE HAVE SOME EMAIL QUESTIONS

GOING.

THIS FIRST ONE COMES FROM

KAREN WHO SAYS THE CHURCH I

ATTEND HAS SHARING COMMUNION

ANY LONGER?

I'M NOW CONSIDERING ATTENDING

ANOTHER.

OUR CHURCH IS STARTING TO DO

THIS NOW.

I WONDER WHY.

OUR COMMUNION HAS BEEN A

CENTERPIECE OF THE CHRISTIAN

CHURCH SINCE THE LAST SUPPER.

YOU LOOK AT THE CATACOMBS AND

HEAR THE CHRISTIANS UNDER

PERSECUTION THEY'RE GATHERING

TOGETHER FOR ONE PURPOSE AND

THAT IS TO SHARE COMMUNION.

THAT'S IT WAS SUCH A DRIVING

FORCE FOR THEM.

AND HERE'S THE HERE'S WHAT

JESUS SAID ABOUT US.

CHAPTER 22 HE TOOK BREAD, GAVE

THANKS, BROKE IT GAVE IT TO

THEM SAYING THIS IS MY BODY

WHICH IS GIVEN FOR YOU DO THIS

IN REMEMBRANCE OF ME THE THE

FEAST OF THE LORD THE COMMUNION

THE LORD IS TO REMEMBER HIM AND

TO REMEMBER SACRIFICE.

I CAN'T IMAGINE A CHURCH GIVING

IT UP.

YOU SAID IT'S ESSENTIAL TO

WORSHIP SO IF YOU'RE

CONSIDERING GOING TO ANOTHER

ONE BECAUSE YOUR CHURCH HAS

STOPPED COMMUNION I WOULD SAY

AMEN.

AMEN.

THIS IS SHONDA WHO SAYS I KNOW

GOD HAS ALWAYS BEEN WITH ME

THROUGH UPS AND DOWNS SEEMS AS

IF I'M ALWAYS WAITING ON MY

MIRACLES WHILE PEOPLE AROUND ME

ARE GETTING THEIRS.

WHY DO NONBELIEVERS SEEM TO GET

AHEAD FIRST?

SHONDA I THINK YOU MIGHT BE

BEING TESTED AS TO WHERE IT'S

REALLY YOUR LOVE IF YOU'RE

JEALOUS WHAT OTHER PEOPLE ARE

GETTING.

DON'T DON'T BE THAT WAY DON'T

DON'T BE LIKE THE THE THE

BROTHER OF THE PRODIGAL WHO

RESENTED AND RESENTED THE FACE

OF THEIR BIG BEING GIVEN HERE'S

WHAT JESUS ABOUT SERVING HIM

AND IT'S IN LUKE CHAPTER 17

WHICH OF YOU HAVING A SERVANT

PLOWING OR TENDING SHEEP WILL

SAY TO HIM WHEN HE HAS COME IN

FROM THE FIELD COME AT ONCE AND

SIT DOWN TO EAT?

BUT WILL HE NOT RATHER SAY TO

HIM PREPARE SOMETHING FOR MY

SUPPER AND GIRD YOURSELF SERVE

ME UNTIL I'VE EATEN AND DRUNK

AND AFTERWARDS YOU WILL EAT AND

DRINK.

DOES HE THINK THAT THAT'S

SERVANT BECAUSE HE DID THE

THINGS THAT WERE COMMANDED HIM?

WELL THINK NOT SO LIKEWISE YOU

WHEN YOU HAVE DONE ALL THOSE

THINGS WHICH YOU'RE COMMANDED

SAY WE ARE PROFITABLE SERVANTS

WE HAVE DONE WHAT WAS OUR DUTY

TO DO.

WHEN YOU GET TO THE POINT WHERE

LOVE SERVING GOD SO MUCH THAT

YOU'RE NOT LOOKING FOR A REWARD

,YOU'RE NOT LOOKING TO BE PUT

FIRST BUT YOU'RE LOOKING TO PUT

OTHERS FIRST OR THEN YOU REALLY

HAVE ARRIVED AND YOU CAN LOOK

FORWARD TO THOSE WONDERFUL

WORDS.

WELL DONE.

GOOD AND FAITHFUL SERVANT WE

LEAVE YOU THESE WORDS FROM

CORINTHIANS WHERE THE SPIRIT OF

THE LORD THERE IS FREEDOM.

GOD BLESS YOU.
