OUR SOCIETY IS JUST
SATURATED WITH IT.
Lee: THE DIRTY LITTLE
SECRET THAT IS NOW OUT IN
THE OPEN.
IT'S EVERY-DAY LIFE.
Lee: AND NORMAN WING
SHOWKING SHOWS YOU HOW TO
MAKE CHRISTMAS GIFTS FOR
EVERYONE ON YOUR NAUGHTY AND
NICE LIST ON TODAY'S "700
CLUB."
*
Pat: WELL, WELCOME TO
"THE 700 CLUB," LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN.
ONCE AGAIN, THE EYES OF THE
WORLD ARE ON JERUSALEM.
THE LEADER OF THE
PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY SAYS
THE HOLY CITY
WILL, QUOTE,"BE THE ETERNAL
CAPITAL OF A PALESTINIAN
STATE."
Terry: BUT ISRAEL WON'T
GIVE UP IT'S CLAIM ON
JERUSALEM, AND IT SAYS IT
WILL BUILD NEW SETTLEMENTS
THERE.
CHRIS MITCHELL HAS THE STORY
FROM ISRAEL.
Reporter: ISRAEL SAID
IT WOULD BUILD MORE THAN
3,000 NEW APARTMENTS IN
AREAS KNOWN BIBLICALLY AS
JUDEA AND SOMARIA.
BENJAMIN NETANYAHU MADE THE
ANNOUNCEMENT TO PROTEST THE
U.N. VOTE THAT GRANTED
NON-MEMBER OBSERVER STATE
STATUS TO THE PALESTINIAN
AUTHORITY ON THESE VERY
LANDS.
ISRAEL SAYS THE VOTE
ABROGATED AGREEMENTS THAT
P.A. AND ISRAEL MADE YEARS
AGO.
AND NETANYAHU SAID THE P.A.
WAS WAGING A STRUGGLE
AGAINST THE VERY EXISTENCE
OF THE STATE OF ISRAEL.
THE BRITISH AND FRENCH
GOVERNMENT, HOWEVER,
OBJECTED TO ISRAEL'S
DECISION TO BUILD.
WE DON'T TELL THE BRITISH
OR FRENCH TO BUILD OR NOT IN
LONDON.
Reporter: ANOTHER PART
OF THE CONTROVERSY CONCERNS
PLANS TO EXPAND THIS JEWISH
COMMUNITY BEHIND ME.
IT IS LOCATED JUST OUTSIDE
JERUSALEM.
PALESTINIAN LEADERS AND SOME
MEDIA REPORTS SAY THE
EXPANSION WOULD CUT THE WEST
BANK IN TWO.
IN FACT, THE WEST BANK WOULD
STILL BE ABOUT 10 MILES
WIDE.
IT WOULD CONNECT THIS JEWISH
SUBURB TO JERUSALEM.
THE U.N. GENERAL SECRETARY
CALLED IT ISRAEL-OCCUPIED
TERRITORY.
AND SAYS THAT ISRAEL THAT
THE NATURAL RIGHT AND
TERRITORIAL CLAIMS ON IT.
MEANWHILE, PALESTINIAN
PRESIDENT MAHMOUD ABBAS
ADDRESSED A CROWD IN
RAMALLAH AFTER RETURNING
FROM THE U.N.
VOTE.
HE DECLARED PALESTINE A
STATE, AND DECLARED WAY TO
RECONCILE NOT WITH ISRAEL,
BUT HAMAS AND THE GAZA
STRIP.
AND HE PROMISED ONE DAY A
YOUNG PALESTINIAN WOULD
RAISE THE PALESTINIAN FLAG
OVER JERUSALEM.
AFTER THE U.N. VOTE AND
ISRAEL'S RESPONSE, IT
APPEARS ONCE AGAIN THAT THE
BATTLE OVER THE FUTURE AND
FATE OF JERUSALEM IS TAKING
CENTER STAGE IN THE WORLD
RUSSIAN.
CHRIS MITCHELL, CBN NEWS,
MADALA, JERUSALEM.
Pat: THE JEWISH PEOPLE
WILL MAKE ALL KINDS OF
TERRITORIAL CONCESSIONS.
THEY WANT PEACE VERY BADLY.
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE IN A
STATE OF WAR.
BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO
GIVE UP THEIR CAPITAL.
THEY ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE
UP JERUSALEM.
JERUSALEM WAS WON BY KING
DAVID ABOUT THE YEAR 1,000
B.C., THAT'S 3,000 YEARS
AGO, AND THAT'S A LONG
TIME.
AND THAT'S THE JEWISH CLAIM
TO IT, AND IT IS ESTABLISHED
IN THE BIBLE.
IT IS ESTABLISHED IN
HISTORY.
THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A
SO-CALLED STATE OF
PALESTINIAN.
IT DOES NOT EXIST, EXCEPT IN
THE MIND OF THOSE WHO ARE
TALKING ABOUT IT RIGHT NOW.
AND, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
THE BIBLE SAYS -- YOU READ
THE BOOK OF THE PROPHET SAC
ZACHARIAH, AND IT SAYS ALL
NATIONS WILL GATHER AGAINST
JERUSALEM.
THE NATIONS OF THE WORLD
WILL COME AGAINST ISRAEL,
AND ISRAEL WILL BE FIGHTING
FOR ITS SURVIVAL, AND THEY
WILL CALL UPON THE NAME OF
THE LORD, AND THE LORD
HIMSELF WILL ANSWER AND GIVE
THEM STRENGTH AND VICTORY.
IT IS GOING TO HAPPEN, BUT
IT WILL BE A BLOODY MESS
COMING UP.
SO MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT
IT.
FOR THE PALESTINIANS TO MAKE
THIS OUTRAGEOUS CLAIM, TO
COME OUT AND SAY THIS IS
GOING TO BE OUR ETERNAL
CAPITAL, AND THEY KNOW GOOD
AND WELL THE HEADQUARTERS OF
THE ISRAEL STATE IS LOCATED
IN JERUSALEM.
AND FOR THE PALESTINIAN
LEADER TO SAY, WELL, NO,
THAT'S GOING TO BE OURS, IT
JUST SHOWS A DEGREE OF
HUBEROUS THAT IS APPALLING.
BUT WE'VE SEEN THAT AROUND
HERE, AT HOME, AS A MATTER
OF FACT.
WE HAVE HAD AN EQUAL
SHOWDOWN AND ACTUALLY
OUTRAGEOUS CLAIMS BEING MADE
BY ONE SIDE.
AND LET'S LET LEE WEBB TELL
US MORE ABOUT IT.
Lee: WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT IT'S FISCAL CLIFF
BUDGET NEGOTIATIONS, PAT.
SO FAR NEITHER SIDE SAYS
THEY WERE AGREE WITH WHAT
THE OTHER SIDE OFFERS.
DEMOCRATS WANT TO RAISE
TAXES ON HIGH-INCOME PEOPLE,
AND WANT SOME CUTS IN
SPENDING, BUT THE
REPUBLICANS SAY THOSE
SPENDING CUTS ARE NOT
SERIOUS.
I THINK WE'RE GOING OFF
THE CLIFF.
Reporter: THERE IS NOW
WORRY IN WASHINGTON THAT THE
FISCAL CLIFF NEGOTIATIONS
COULD FAIL.
AND TAKE THE COUNTRY OVER
THE FLIF.
CLIFF.
WHAT THAT WOULD MEAN, A
$2200 TO $2400 TAX INCREASE
FOR THE AVERAGE FAMILY, AND
A 2% PAYROLL TAX CUT THAT
WOULD DISAPPEAR.
AND IT WOULD MEAN
$250 BILLION IN PENTAGON
CUTS, AND ANOTHER
$250 BILLION IN EDUCATION,
TRANSPORTATION, AND FOOD
SAFETY RESEARCH.
A MAJOR STICKINGPOINT, THE
PRESIDENT'S INSIST THAT TAX
CUTS FOR THE WEALTHIEST
EXPIRE.
THERE IS NO WAY WE CAN
GOVERN THE COUNTRY WITH
THOSE LOW RATES FOR FUTURE
GENERATIONS.
Reporter: ANOTHER POINT
OF CONTENTION, THE PRESIDENT
WANTS $1.6 TRILLION IN NEW
TAX REVENUE OVER THE NEXT 10
YEARS.
SPEAKER BOEHNER WANTS HALF
OF THAT.
THE SPEAKER SHOT DOWN THE
PRESIDENT'S PLAN.
A NON-SERIOUS PROPOSAL.
THE PRESIDENT IS ASKING FOR
$1.6 TRILLION WORTH OF NEW
REVENUE OVER 10 YEARS.
TWICE AS MUCH AS HE HAS BEEN
ASKING FOR IN PUBLIC.
HE HAS STIMULUS SPENDING IN
HERE THAT EXCEEDED THE
AMOUNT OF NEW CUTS HE WAS
WILLING TO CONSIDER.
IT WAS NOT A SERIOUS OFFER.
Reporter: ECONOMISTS
SAY IF WASHINGTON CANNOT
REACH A DEAL ON THIS ONE,
THE ECONOMY WILL FALL BACK
INTO RECESSION, AND THE
UNEMPLOYMENT RATE WILL GO
UP.
Lee: PAT, IT SEEMS LIKE
THE REPUBLICANS NEED TO
HAMMER HOME IS THIS ONE
QUESTION: IS GOVERNMENT TOO
BIG?
Pat: ABSOLUTELY, LEE.
I WOULD -- YOU REALLY NEED A
SKILLED TELEVISION
PRODUCTION EXPERT TO SET UP
A SERIES OF SPOT
ADVERTISING, SHOWING YOUNG
PEOPLE.
YOU CAN IMAGINE A YOUNG
PERSON WHO HAS A BILL AND HE
COMES TO HIS FATHER AND HE
SAYS, DAD, I JUST GOT A BILL
FROM THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
AND IT IS FOR $130,000 IN
TAXES.
THIS IS FOR ME.
AND IT SAYS IT'S TO PAY FOR
THE HEALTH OF CHINESE
PROSTITUTES.
AND WHY SHOULD I HAVE TO PAY
FOR THAT?
AND THE FATHER SAYS, WELL,
YOU KNOW, YOU VOTED FOR
HIM.
I TOLD YOU NOT TO.
WHAT A GREAT COMMERCIAL.
IF THEY HAD EVERYTHING THAT
IS IN THAT BUDGET THAT IS
NUTTY, AND THERE ARE PLENTY
OF THINGS, OUTRAGEOUS THINGS
THAT ARE IN THERE, THAT THE
DEMOCRATS INSIST ON HOLDING
THE LINE ON.
OUTRAGEOUS.
TRIPLE, QUADRUPLE, MULTIPLE
LAYERS OF BUYERS SEE. BUREAUCRACY.
THEY WANT TO HOLD ON TO ALL
OF IT.
IF THEY WOULD SHOW THE
RIDICULOUSNESS TO THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE, AND THEY
NEED SOMETHING BETTER.
Terry: WE ALMOST SEE A
LITTLE NUMBED BY OUR
BLESSINGS TO THIS WHOLE
THING.
I WONDER IF PEOPLE WOULD DO
ANYTHING IF THEY KNEW MORE
ABOUT IT?
Pat: UNFORTUNATELY, IT
WILL COME DOWN, AND THEN
THERE WILL BE A BIG FIGHT ON
WHO CAUSED IT.
AND THEY'LL SAY IT'S THE
REPUBLICANS, AND ALL THEY
WANT TO DO IS LOWER TAXES ON
THE RICH.
THEY OUGHT TO GIVE
.
Lee: THE CHRISTIAN
COMPANY OBJECTIVES TO THE
PROVISION THAT REQUIRES
COVERAGE FOR CONTRACEPTIVE
AND ABORTION- REDUCING
DRUGS.
THE JUDGE SAID THE MANDATE
COMPELS THE PLAINTIFFS TO
VIOLATE THEIR RELIGIOUS
BELIEFS OR FACE GOVERNMENT
FINES AND LAWSUITS.
LAWSUITS.
HE SAYS THE BATTLE IS THE
LORD'S.
THE U.S. MILITARY ACADEMY AT
WEST POINT HOSTED ITS FIRST
SAME-SEX WEDDINGS.
THEY WERE HELD OVER THE LAST
TWO WEEKENDS.
ONE OF THEM IN THE ACADEMY'S
HISTORIC CHAPEL.
ARMY CHAPLAINS FROM OTHER
POSTS PERFORMED THE
CEREMONIES BECAUSE THE
DENOMINATIONS OF THE WEST
POINT CHAPLAINS DO NOT ALLOW
THEM TO PERFORM SAME-SEX
MARRIAGES.
A FEW MONTHS LATER, "DON'T
ASK; DON'T TELL" WAS
REPEALED, AND GAYS WERE
ALLOWED TO SERVE OPENLY IN
THE MILITARY.
A SAD DAY, PAT.
Pat: GENERAL DOUGLESS
MCCARTHUR ROLLING OVER IN
THIS GRAVE.
ULYSSES S.GRANT ROLLING OVER
IN HIS.
WHAT HAVE THEY DONE TO OUR
CHERISHED INSTITUTION.
LEE?
Lee: THE 2012
REDEMPTIVE FILM FESTIVAL
HONORED MORE THAN 30 FILMS
FOR THEIR REDEEMING STORY
LINES.
ONE OF THE MOVIES IS CALLED
"THE PINK ROOM."
IT TELLS THE STORY OF YOUNG
GIRLS IN CAMBODIA TRAPPED IN
SEX TRAFFICKING.
AND AS HEATHER CELLS
REPORTS, ITS MESSAGE IS ONE
OF HOPE.
Reporter: THE PINK ROOM
LET'S THE VIEWERS IN ON THE
PAIN OF YOUNG TRAFFICKED
GIRLS IN THE VI THE VILLAGE
OF SWIPOCK.
PEDOPHILES FROM AROUND THE
WORLD ARRIVE DAILY TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
WHEN YOU'RE DONE WITH YOUR
COFFEE?
Reporter: THE PINK ROOM
IS QUICK TO FOCUS ON A GROUP
IN SWIPOCK.
THE DIRECTOR, JOEL, SAYS HE
WANTED TO TELL THEIR
STORIES.
WE FOCUSED ON HOPE.
WE FOCUSED ON RESTORATION.
AND THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS
IS -- IT'S NOT ABOUT JUST
TALKING ABOUT HOW BAD THE
PROBLEM IS AND EVERYTHING,
BUT IT REALLY SETS ITSELF
APART BECAUSE IT IS ABOUT
SOLUTIONS AND IT'S ABOUT
HOPE.
PEOPLE ARE CRYING TEARS OF
JOY, RATHER THAN TEARS OF
DEPRESSION.
Reporter: THE PINK ROOM
SHOWS HOW THE AGAPE
ADMINISTRATION HELPS THOSE
GIRLS.
SHE DECIDED AT AGE 14 TO
ENTER A BROTHEL.
SHE QUICKLY FOUND HERSELF
TRAPPED IN BONDAGE, WORSE
THAN SHE COULD IMAGINE.
BUT WHEN SHE ARRIVED AT THE
AGAPE HOME, SHE FOUND A NEW
WORLD.
SHE HEARD, I LOVE, AND
THEY'RE LIKE, I'VE HEARD
THAT BEFORE, BUT THEN THEY
START LIVING IT AND
BELIEVING.
Reporter: THEY ARE
CURRENTLY REEDITING THE
DOCUMENT FOR PBS, AND HE
SAYS IT IS ALREADY AWAKENING
THE CHURCH AS VIEWERS BEGIN
TO SEE HOW TO HELP CHILDREN
WHO SUFFERED UNSPEAKABLE
EVIL.
PEOPLE ARE VERY HOPEFUL
WHEN THEY TALK TO US.
THEY SAY, I'VE SEEN A LOT OF
DOCUMENTARIES OF SEX
TRAFFICKING, BUT THIS MADE
ME FEEL GOOD AND I WAS
ACTUALLY HAPPY AND HELPFUL.
Reporter: HEATHER
CELLS, CBN NEWS.
Lee: ENCOURAGING TO
KNOW THAT PBS IS PICKING UP
THIS FILM.
Pat: I'M DELIGHTED.
THIS IS SO APPALLING.
IT DOES SOMETHING TO ME AND
IT SHOULD TO EVERYBODY
WATCHING THIS PROGRAM.
THE TRAFFICKING IN YOUNG
GIRLS AND YOUNG BOYS FOR
SEX.
AND THESE EVIL PEOPLE COMING
FROM EUROPE, FROM AMERICA,
FROM OTHER PARTS OF THE
WORLD, FROM THE MIDDLE EAST,
AND THEY GO INTO PLACES LIKE
THAILAND TO PREY ON THESE
KIDS AND TO VENT THEIR SICK
LUST ON THEM.
IT MAKES YOU SICK IN YOUR
STOMACH.
TERRY?
Terry: WELL, IT MAY
SEEM SEXY IN FIRST, BUT IN
ACTUALITY, IT IS RUINING
SEX.
HERE ABOUT THIS VICE AND HOW
IT IS WARPING MINDS.
THAT'S NEXT.
Pat: PORNOGRAPHY, FROM
THE GREEK, PORNEO, WHICH
SPOKES OF SEXUALITY,
FORNICATION.
IT'S GOTTEN TO BE SOMETHING
THAT IS GOING MAINSTREAM,
AND EVERYBODY TALKS ABOUT
PORN.
WELL, THE TEENS IN TODAY'S
WORLD ARE GROWING UP IN A
SOCIETY THAT IS JUST FILLED
WITH PORNOGRAPHY.
AND IT'S EASIER TO FIND THAN
EVER, THANKS TO THE
INTERNET.
AND MANY TEENS, REGRETTABLY,
STARTING AS EARLY AS NINE
AND 10 YEARS OLD, ARE
BECOMING ADDICTED.
AS PAUL STRAND REPORTS, THAT
ADDICTION COULD RUIN THEIR
LIVES.
Reporter: THE NUMBERS
OF STAGGERING, $100 BILLION
WORTH OF PORN BOUGHT EVERY
YEAR.
12% OF THE WORLD'S WEBSITES
OFFER THE ELICIT MATERIAL.
EACH DAY, 2.5 MILLION
PORNOGRAPHIC E-MAILS WHIZ
THROUGH CYBER-SPACE.
AND 67% OF MEN AND 49% OF
WOMEN SAY PORN IS
ACCEPTABLE.
OUR SOCIETY IS JUST
SATURATED WITH IT.
Reporter: FORMER ADDICT
C.J. SAYS HE GOT HOOKED AT
AGE EIGHT.
HE SAYS ON AVERAGE, KIDS GET
HOOKED AT 11 YEARS OLD.
NOW IT IS ACCESSIBLE TO
EVERYONE.
Reporter: AUBREY HAD
ALMOST CONSTANT SEXUAL ABUSE
FROM HER GRANDFATHER AND HER
HUNUNCLE.
NOW A MEMBER OF THE HUMAN
TRAFFICKING TASKFORCE IN
SOUTHERN COLORADO, TERRY
PUTS A LOT OF BLAME FOR IT
ON THE INTERNET.
BEFORE PORNOGRAPHY WAS A
SECRETIVE, DARK CULTURE, AND
NOW IT IS EVERY DAY LIFE.
Reporter: EVERY SECOND,
28,000 PEOPLE ARE ONLINE
LOOKING, AND THE SALES RING
UP AT $3,000 EACH SECOND.
TODAY'S GENERATION,
YOUNGER GENERATION, RECEIVES
MORE TEMPTATIONS PER SECOND
THAN ANY OTHER GENERATION IN
THE HISTORY OF MANKIND.
Reporter: SO WHEN IT
COMES TO PORNOGRAPHY AND OUR
KIDS, AND THIS HYPERPAST,
HYPERTECHNOLOGICAL AGE, IT
IS ALMOST EVERY SECOND WITH
EVERY DEVICE.
THEY BOTH ADMINISTER TO
PEOPLE FROM A FREE ADDICTION
THAT IS CONSTANTLY
AVAILABLE.
I HAVE TEENAGERS ADMIT TO
ME THEY HAVE THEIR PHONES
AND BUDS WITH THEM AT NIGHT,
AND THEY'RE SEXTING, AND
THEY'RE SENDING PICTURES OF
THEMSELVES TO OTHERS.
Reporter: AND THIS IS
HITTING JUST AS HARD INSIDE
THE CHURCH AS OUT.
ANDY BRAIN LEARNED THAT
AFTER CRITICIZING A FRIEND
FOR OFFERING PORN CHANNELS
AT HIS HOTEL CHAINS.
HE GOES, TO BE HONEST,
YOU KNOW WHO THE BIGGEST
COSTUMERS OF THIS
PORNOGRAPHY, AND HE NAMED A
CERTAIN DOMINATION.
Reporter: BRAINARD ADS
BRAINARD ADMINISTERS TO
10s OF THOUSANDS OF KIDS.
90% OF THE PEOPLE THAT
COME TO US, WHO ARE LEARNING
ABOUT CHRISTIAN VALUES, 90%
OF THOSE ARE DEEPLY ADDICTED
TO PORNOGRAPHY.
Reporter: AND SHELLEY
INTERVIEWED CHRISTIAN TEENS
AND GIRLS.
21% ADMITTED TO SENDING A
NAKED PHOTO OF THEMSELVES TO
SOMEONE THROUGH THEIR
PHONE.
Reporter: AND THIS
ADDICTION COULD BE JUST AS
BAD AS THE HARDEST DRUGS.
THE GROUP, "FIGHT THE NEW
DRUG," SHOWED THIS VIDEO OF
HOW THE BRAIN RELEASED THESE
CHEMICALS WHEN A PERSON
SERVICE THEMSELVES WITH
PORN.
AND THE BRAIN CALLS OUT FOR
MORE AND MORE OF THIS
SATISFACTION.
A KID WHO IS ADDICTED TO
PORNOGRAPHY AT 13, 14,
BEGINS THIS PROBLEM IN THE
BRAIN.
IT BECOMES STRONGER THE MORE
YOU WORK IT.
Reporter: AND THE BRAIN
THEN CRAVES STRONGER STUFF
TO GET THE SAME
SATISFACTION.
AND NOWADAYS, IT IS RIGHT
THERE ON THE INTERNET
WAITING.
A TEEN TODAY CAN ACCESS
HARD-CORE MATERIAL THAT 15
YEARS AGO, A SEASONED
PURVEYOR OF PORNOGRAPHY
WOULD HAVE HAD A HARD TIME
ACQUIRING.
Reporter: THIS
THERAPIST SAYS IT IS
DETRIMENTAL AND DANGEROUS.
WHEN IS A HUMAN BEING
READY TO PROCESS A RAPE
SCENE, TORTURE, BESTIALITY,
INCEST --
Reporter: IT IS RUINING
THE WAY MANY YOUNG MEN LOOK
AT WOMEN.
THERE IS NO QUESTION THAT
NOW A YOUNG WOMAN IS
SOMETHING OF A CONQUEST.
Reporter: AND STUDIES
ARE SHOWING IT IS MAKING
MANY MEN AND WOMEN ALMOST
INCAPABLE OF ENJOYING SEX
WITH THEIR REAL LIFE
PARTNERS.
THERE IS INCREASED
SEPARATION AND DIVORCE.
THERE IS LESS SENSITIVITY IN
THEIR MARRIAGES, AND THERE
IS DECREASED SEXUAL
RELATIONS.
ROW
Reporter: SO THE TEENS
OF TODAY NEED TO REALIZE
THEY MAY BE RISKING THEIR
OWN MARRIAGES.
WHAT IS GOING TO HAPPEN
TO OUR KIDS IN A WORLD WHERE
IT IS OMNI PRESENT,
AVAILABLE ANYWHERE ANY
TIME.
PAUL STRAND, CBN NEWS,
REPORTING FROM COLORADO
SPRINGS, COLORADO.
Pat: THANKS, PAUL.
A VERY NICE COVERAGE OF IT
AND VERY THOROUGH.
THIS IS AN A AN APPALLING
THING, BUT IT IS HAPPENING,
AND IT IS AN ADDICTION.
JUST LIKE MARIJUANA MAY BE
THE GATEWAY DRUG INTO HARDER
USE.
SO A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
PORNOGRAPHY IS THE GATEWAY
INTO MUCH MORE SERIOUS
SEXUAL ADDICTION.
THESE PEOPLE WHO ARE SEX
ADDICTS ARE WITHOUT
CONTROL.
IT DOESN'T MATTER.
IT COULD RUIN THEIR
MARRIAGE.
IT COULD RUIN THEIR JOBS, IT
COULD RUIN THEIR FINANCIAL
FUTURE.
IT COULD RUIN EVERYTHING
THEY'RE DOING.
JUST LIKE GAMBLING, JUST
LIKE OTHER KINDS OF
ADDICTION.
WE NEED TO REALIZE WHAT
WE'RE DOING AND WHAT WE'RE
ALLOWING.
AND THIS WHOLE BUSINESS,
WELL, THEY'VE GOT FIRST
AMENDMENT RIGHTS TO PUT THIS
GARBAGE OUT ON THE AIR --
WELL, THAT SOUNDS GOOD IN
THEORY FOR SOME LAWYER IN
HARVARD, BUT THE REALITY IS
WE HAVE LOOSED UPON OUR
NATION A FLOOD OF HORRIBLE
MATERIAL THAT IS DESTROYING
THE YOUTH.
AND YOU SAW THOSE
STATISTICS.
IT IS SIMPLY APPALLING HOW
PERVASIVE THIS STUFF IS.
TERRY?
Terry: WELL, THE REASON
IT IS ACCESSIBLE IS BECAUSE
THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEBODY AT
THE TOP WHO IS MAKING LOTS
OF MONEY.
Pat: BILLIONS AND
BILLIONS AND BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS, ABSOLUTELY.
AND SOME OF THE MAJOR
CORPORATIONS DEALING WITH
THE INTERVIEW AND TELEVISION
AND CABLE TV, THIS IS THE
MAIN SOURCE OF THEIR MONEY,
AND THEY DON'T WANT TO ADMIT
IT.
Terry: ABSOLUTELY.
STILL AHEAD, A HUSBAND WHO
CLIMBED THE CORPORATE LADDER
AND LEFT HIS FAMILY BEHIND.
PLUS, WE'RE GOING TO SHOW
YOU HOW TO ADD A LITTLE
SWEET AND SPICE TO YOUR
CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION,
COURTESY OF SOUTHERN
LIVING'S NORMAN KING.
Terry: HAVE YOU EVER
FELT ON EDGE OR DOWN TO YOUR
LAST STRAW?
WHEN IS ENOUGH ENOUGH?
FOR PATTY SMITH, THAT'S WHEN
HER HUSBAND SAID HE WANTED
TO PACK UP AND MOVE THE
FAMILY FOR THE 14th TIME
IN NINE YEARS.
Reporter: FROM THE
OUTSIDE, TIM AND PATTY SMITH
LOOKED LIKE THEY HAD IT
ALL.
WE HAD A CONDO.
WE HAD JOBS.
WE'RE SMILING IN ALL OF OUR
PICTURES, YOU KNOW, FROM
BACK IN THOSE DAYS.
I THINK EVERYTHING WAS
BASED ON THE DOLLAR.
WE'RE WERE ALL LOOKING ABOUT
GETTING AHEAD.
YOU WANTED THAT AMERICAN
DREAM.
Reporter: WHEN TIM AND
PATTY FIRST MET AT A MUTUAL
FRIEND'S WEDDING, IT WAS
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT.
IT WAS WONDERFUL.
WE WANTED TO BE TOGETHER AS
MUCH AS WE COULD.
Reporter: SINCE THEY
LIVED IN DIFFERENT TOWNS,
THEY SPENT HOURS ON THE
PHONE.
TIM FINALLY POPPED THE
QUESTION.
I'D BEEN EXCITED ABOUT
MARRYING TIM, WE WERE DATING
FOR THREE YEARS AND PROBABLY
ENGAGED FOR TWO YEARS.
SO I WAS READY TO BECOME A
WIFE.
Reporter: AND NOT ONLY
WAS PATTY BECOMING A WIFE,
SHE BECAME A MOM TO A CHILD
FROM TIM'S FIRST MARRIAGE.
I HAD A WHOLE DAY OF CAN
I BE A MOTHER?
I WAS 21 AND IT WAS SCARY.
Reporter: THE FAMILY
PROBLEMS BEGAN TO SURFACE
IMMEDIATELY.
THE FIRST YEAR OF
MARRIAGE WAS A LITTLE TOUGH,
I'D SAY.
I WAS WORKING SEPARATE SHIPS
TO MAKE ENDS MEET.
A LOT OF TIMES WE WERE
PASSING SHIPS, AND HE WOULD
COME HOME AND I WAS ALREADY
DONE, AND I WOULD COME HOME,
AND HE WOULD BE SLEEPING.
IT LIMITED OUR
COMMUNICATION.
Reporter: THE LACK OF
COMMUNICATION WASN'T THE
ONLY PROBLEM.
SIX MONTHS AFTER THEY
MARRIED, TIM RECEIVED A JOB
OFFER IN CALIFORNIA AND
ACCEPTED.
THIS MADE THE SECOND MOVE
FOR PATTY IN SIX MONTHS.
I NO FAMILY.
I HAD NO FRIENDS.
I HAD NO NEIGHBORS THAT I
KNEW A ALL.
IT WAS BASICALLY ME AND
TIM.
Reporter: TIM AND PATTY
HAD TWO DAUGHTERS JUST A
COUPLE OF YEARS APART.
THE INCREASED
RESPONSIBILITIES LEFT THEM
BOTH STRESSED AND
DISAPPOINTED.
AT THAT POINT IN TIME,
SHE'S DEVOTING HERSELF TO
THE KIDS.
I'M STILL DEVOTING MYSELF TO
THE CAREER.
I FELT NEGLECTED.
I DID.
I FELT LIKE I SHOULD BE THE
PRIORITY, AND I WASN'T
FEELING CHERISHED.
IT WAS ALL ABOUT ME.
AND I WAS LETTING -- INSTEAD
TALKING ABOUT IT, YOU KNOW,
I WOULD KIND OF SHUT DOWN.
IF THINGS BOTHERED ME, I
WOULD GET ANGRY.
I WOULD YELL AND SCREAM.
AND SHE WOULD CRY.
HONESTLY, WE LIVED A LOT OF
OUR LIFE LIKE THIS, WITH
JUST ME COMING IN AND GOING
OFF THE HANDLE AND SHE WOULD
CRY.
WE WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT IT.
WE WOULD GET UP THE NEXT DAY
AND SHE WAS HOPING IT WOULD
GET BETTER AND I WAS HOPING
IT WOULD GO AWAY.
I WAS JUST CHASING THE
DOLLAR.
I WOULD TALK TO MY BOSS
ABOUT HOW WE COULD DO THING
AND WHERE WE COULD GO TO
MAKE MORE MONEY.
Reporter: TIM MOVED THE
FAMILY 14 TIMES IN NINE
YEARS AS HE CLIMBED THE
CORPORATE LADDER.
THE FAMILY KEPT JUMPING FROM
ONE PLACE TO THE NEXT, AND
PATTY'S RESENTMENT GREW.
AT ONE POINT, WHEN TIM TRIED
TO MOVE THE FAMILY FROM
INDIANA TO KENTUCKY, PATTY
PUT UP A FIGHT.
I WAS FINALLY CLENCHING
MY FEET AND SAID, I'M NOT
GOING.
I DON'T WANT TO MOVE AGAIN.
AND IT WAS REALLY HARD.
AND I SAID, YOU KNOW -- AND
HE SAID I'M GOING WITH OR
WITHOUT YOU, AND I WAS FINE
WITH THAT.
I WAS FINE BECAUSE I WAS
DONE.
AND WE WERE NOT GETTING
ALONE.
WE WERE FIGHTING ALL THE
TIME.
Reporter: BUT PATTY
RELUCTANTLY FOLLOWED TIM
AGAIN AND FELL INTO A
DEPRESSION.
ONE DAY SHE TOOK HER
DAUGHTER TO THE LIBRARY.
SHE MET A WOMAN THERE WHO
INVITED HER TO A BIBLE
STUDY.
ALTHOUGH RELIGION DIDN'T
PLAY A BIG ROLE IN HER LIFE
AS AN ADULT, PATTY HAD GROWN
UP IN CHURCH AND REALIZED
SHE NEEDED TO TURN TO GOD
FOR ANSWERS.
STUDYING THE BIBLE HELPED
ME BE AT PEACE WITH GOD.
SHE SAT WITH ME, AND WE READ
THE WIFE OF NOBLE CHARACTER,
PROVERBS 31, AND I HAD NEVER
READ THAT BEFORE.
AND AFTER SHE WAS DONE
READING, SHE SAID WHERE DO
YOU SEE YOURSELF IN HERE?
AND I LITERALLY DIDN'T SEE
MYSELF ANYWHERE, AND MY
HEART REALLY DROPPED.
AND I SAID NOWHERE.
FOR THE FIRST TIME I WAS
CONVICTED.
I SAID, GOD, I WANT TO DO
THIS YOUR WAY.
I WANT TO BE THE KIND OF
WIFE YOU WANT ME TO BE.
AND I NEED YOU TO SHOW ME.
Reporter: PATTY BEGAN
GOING TO CHURCH AND READING
HER BIBLE.
IF I GET MAD,
SHE'S, LIKE, I'LL PRAY FOR
YOU.
WE'VE SAID A LOT OF THINGS
TO EACH OTHER IN OUR
MARRIAGE, BUT "I'LL PRAY FOR
YOU" WAS NEVER ONE OF THEM.
Reporter: HE BECAME
UNCOMFORTABLE WITH PATTY'S
NEWFOUND RELIGION.
TIM REACHED HIS BREAKING
POINT WHEN PATTY TOLD HIM
SHE WAS TO BE BAPTIZED AT
THE CHURCH.
I WAS LIVID.
I WAS LIKE, IF THIS IS WHAT
YOU WANT OUT OF YOUR LIFE,
SO BE IT.
BUT I'M LEAVING YOU.
THIS IS NOT GOING TO
HAPPEN.
Reporter: BUT PATTY'S
CALM DEMEANOR CONTINUED, AND
SHE WAS BAPTIZED.
AFTER SHE WAS BAPTIZED, I
REALLY STARTED SEEING HER AS
A PERSON.
I GUESS THE CHANGE WAS THERE
ALL ALONE, BUT I WASN'T
WILLING TO LOOK AT IT AND
SEE IT.
I CAN REMEMBER HER ALWAYS
BEING SO POSITIVE ABOUT
EVERYTHING.
AND I GOT THIS FEELING, WHAT
IS IT THAT I'M MISSING IN
THIS?
Reporter: THAT'S WHEN
TIM BEGAN TO LOOK FOR
ANSWERS, TOO.
HE WENT TO A BIBLE STUDY.
I NEVER FELT PUSHED, BUT
I WAS LOVED.
I GUESS THAT'S THE BEST WORD
I COULD USE.
THESE PEOPLE GENUINELY LOVE
YOU AS A PERSON.
AND IT REALLY SAU SOFTENED
MY HEART TOWARDS WHAT CHURCH
COULD BE.
Reporter: JUST MONTHS
LATER, HE BECAME A
CHRISTIAN, TOO, AND WAS
BAPTIZED.
I CAN REMEMBER COMING OUT
OF THE WATER REALIZING ITS
ALL NEW.
I FELT A TRUE CLEANSING.
WE WERE PRAYING TOGETHER,
WHERE WE HAVE NEVER DONE
THAT BEFORE.
HE WAS LISTENING TO ME
AGAIN.
AND THIS WAS LIKE WE WERE
DATING AGAIN, AND EVEN
BETTER THAN IT WAS BEFORE.
I KNEW IT WAS ALL COMING
FROM CHRIST, THE FOUNDATION
OF OUR MARRIAGE.
Reporter: THE SMITHS
BEGAN TO TALK THROUGH THEIR
PROBLEMS.
THEY SAY GOD HAS COMPLETELY
RENEWED THEIR MARRIAGE.
PATTY HAS WRITTEN A BOOK
ABOUT THEIR JOURNEY.
IF YOU CAN MAKE MONEY --
WE ALL HAVE TO DO THAT AND
WE ALL UNDERSTAND THAT, BUT
DON'T LET IT BE AT THE
SACRIFICE OF YOUR FAMILY.
CONCENTRATE ON YOUR WIFE.
WE'RE LIVING WITH LESS MONEY
NOW THAN I'VE EVER MADE IN
OUR LIFE, AND WE'RE HAPPIER
THAN WE HAVE EVER BEEN.
LET GOD IN.
PRAY, DON'T UNDERESTIMATE
THE POWER OF PRAYER.
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE IN
CHRIST.
THERE IS ALWAYS HOPE IN
HIM.
AND MY MARRIAGE WAS
HOPELESS, BUT WHEN I GAVE IT
TO THE LORD, HE FIXED IT.
JESUS WILL FIX IT.
Terry: LET GOD IN.
MARRIAGE IS TUV.
TOUGH.
TWO IMPERFECT PEOPLE COME
TOGETHER LOOK ARE TO NIRVANA
IN THEIR RELATIONSHIP WITH
EACH OTHER.
QUICKLY WE FIND OUT THAT
WE'RE SEL SELFISH PEOPLE
AND WE'RE NEEDY.
AND THE OTHER PERSON CAN'T
MEET OUR NEEDS.
THAT PERSON ISN'T SUPPOSED.
GOD IS SUPPOSED TO BE IN OUR
MARRIAGE.
IT TAKES THREE.
IF YOU DON'T KNOW CHRIST IN
YOUR MARRIAGE -- MAYBE
YOU'VE THAT A COMMITMENT AND
GONE TO CHURCH AND DONE ALL
OF THOSE THINGS THAT YOU
THINK MAYBE YOU A BELIEVER,
COME HOME TO THE HEART OF
GOD TODAY.
BEGIN TO ASK HIM FOR YOU.
DON'T FORCE YOUR SPOUSE.
GO TO HIM FOR YOU.
GET CLOSE TO HIM YOURSELF,
AND COMING CLOSE TO HIM
BRINGS US CLOSE TO EACH
OTHER.
IT SOLVES SO MANY THINGS.
IF YOU'RE HAVING TROUBLE IN
YOUR MARRIAGE, IF YOU'RE
STRUGGLING, WE'VE GOT A
GREAT LITTLE BOOKLET.
IT IS FREE.
IT'S CALLED "LOVE AND
MARRIAGE."
AND IT TALKS ABOUT WHAT DOES
GOD'S WORD HAVE TO SAY ABOUT
IT.
JESUS CAME SO WE MIGHT HAVE
LIFE AND HAVE IT
ABUNDANTLY.
IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT IN
YOUR MARRIAGE, GET THIS
BOOKLET.
IF YOU HAVE A SPECIFIC
STRUGGLE IN YOUR LIFE AND
YOU WOULD LIKE TO PRAY WITH
SOMEBODY, WE HAVE PEOPLE WHO
HAVE MADE THAT COMMITMENT,
AND THEY ARE HERE BECAUSE
THEY LOVE AND CARE ABOUT
YOU.
THEY'RE ON THE END OF THAT
TOLL-FREE LINE,
1-800-759-0700.
YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO GIVE

JUST CALL, TELL THEM YOUR
SITUATION AND ASK THEM TO
PRAY WITH YOU.
YOU'D MAKE THEIR DAY.

[CHRISTMAS MUSIC.]
Lee: AND WELCOME BACK
TO "THE 700 CLUB."
10 PEOPLE ARE DEAD AFTER AN
ATTACK ON CHRISTIANS IN
NORTHEASTERN NIGERIA.
THE HAPPENED IN THE VILLAGE
OF CHIBOC IN BORNO STATE.
THE RADICAL ISLAMIST SECT,
BOKO HARAM, HAVE TARGETED
CHURCHES AND GOVERNMENT
STEACIALT ESTABLISHMENTS IN
THAT REGION.
CBN PROGRAMMING IS REACHING
TO PEOPLE IN ISRAEL.
IT USES A TALK-SHOW FORMAT
WITH TESTIMONIES AND LOCAL
MUSIC, AND SALUCCI, WHICH
MEANS SOLUTIONS, MADE
HISTORY BY RANKING NUMBER
ONE FOUR WEEKS IN A ROW.
IN ONE MONTH ALONE, CBN'S
CALL CENTERS RECEIVED MORE
THAN 37,000 CALLS, LETTER,
E-MAILS AND TEXT MESSAGE
SAGES IN RESPONSE TO CBN'S
LOCALLY PRODUCED TELEVISION
PROGRAMS.
AND MORE THAN 700 PEOPLE
PROFESSED FAITH IN JESUS
CHRIST.
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
WHAT CBN IS DOING AROUND THE
WORLD BY LOGGING ON TO
CBN.COM/INTERNATIONAL.
STAY TUNED, PAT AND TERRY
WILL BE BACK WITH MORE OF
"THE 700 CLUB" AFTER THIS.
Pat: WELL, IT'S A HAPPY
TIME.
ARE YOU TRAVELLING THIS
CHRISTMAS?
Terry: I AM NOT.
I AM STAYING AT HOME.
Pat: THAT IS PRETTY
EXHAUSTING, TO TAKE A FAMILY
TRAVELLING.
Terry: IT IS.
YOU'RE SHIPPING PACKAGES.
WHEN WE WERE GOING UP NORTH,
WE WERE SHIPPING SNOWSHOES
AND SKIES.
WE'RE JUST STAYING HOME.
Pat: I WONDER WHY THERE
ARE NOT MORE SHOOTINGS
DURING CHRISTMAS OF LOVED
ONES BECAUSE OF THE
FRANTIC -- I MEAN, PEOPLE
GET MORE STRESSED.
Terry: IT IS A
STRESSFUL TIME.
YOU HAVE TO FIND THOSE -- TO
ME, YOU HAVE TO SEEK THEM
AND FIND THEM, THOSE RES
RESPITES.
Pat: I THINK ONE OF THE
BEST CHRISTMASES WE'VE HAD
WITH MY FAMILY IS WHEN WE
TOOK A TOUR OVER TO ISRAEL
AND ON CHRISTMAS EVE, WE
WERE IN A LITTLE TOWN IN
BETHLEHEM.
IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL TIME.
THE NEXT DAY, WE WERE IN A
HOTEL.
NO WORRY ABOUT TREES,
MISTLETOE, GARLAND, ANY OF
THAT JUNK.
WE DIDN'T HAVE ANY OF IT.
WE WERE THERE, AND ON
CHRISTMAS DAY, AS I RECALL,
WE HAD A BAPTISM SERVICE.
IT WAS JUST BEAUTIFUL
BECAUSE WE WERE THERE.
Terry: YOU STAYED FOCUS
ON THE THINGS OF JESUS.
Pat: ON THE THINGS OF
JESUS.
NOBODY HAD TO WRAP ANYTHING,
BUY ANYTHING, EXCHANGE ANY
PRESENTS.
NONE OF THAT JUNK.
JUNK.
Terry: KEEPING IT
SIMPLE.
Pat: IT WAS SO SIMPLE
AND SO BEAUTIFUL.
AND WE REALLY HAD A NICE
TIME.
AS I RECALL, IT WAS
CHRISTMAS DAY, I THINK, AND
WE BAPTIZED 59 PEOPLE IN THE
JORDAN RIVER.
IT WAS QUITE A TIME.
Terry: WOW, I GUESS
SO.
Pat: IT WAS WARM,
PLEASANT, VERY NICE.
ANYHOW, BY NOW, FOLKS, YOUR
MAILBOX IS PROBABLY STUFFED
WITH CHRISTMAS CARDS FROM
FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND
WELL-WISHERS.
IF YOU TAKE ONE OF THOSE
CARDS AND LOOK AT THE
ENVELOPE, CHANCES ARE ARE A
SMALL STICKER HAS BEEN
AFFIXED TO THE BACK.
IT IS CALLED A CHRISTMAS
SEAL.
AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR ACE
COLLINS TOLD KRISTI WHY THAT
SEAL IS THERE.
Kristi: OKAY, SO I'VE
ALWAYS WONDERED WHEN I GET A
LETTER AND THE CARD AND I
LOOK AT THE VERY BACK OF THE
ENVELOPE AND I SEE A LITTLE
SEAL.
IT'S A LITTLE SEAL.
IT IS THERE USUALLY TO RAISE
MONEY FOR A VERY IMPORTANT
CAUSE.
IT BEGAN ALMOST 100 YEARS
AGO IN HOLLAND.
WHEN A MAN WHO WAS A POSTAL
WORKER FELT SORRY FOR THE
PEOPLE ON HIS ROUTE WHO HAD
TUBERCULOSIS.
HE WANTED TO FIND A WAY --
BECAUSE THEY WERE TREATING
IT PRETTY SUCCESSFUL -- TO
ALLOW THESE PEOPLE TO GO TO
THIS HOSPITAL AND BE
TREATED.
SO HE PRINTED UP STAMPS AND
SOLD THEM FOR A HALF PENNY
APIECE.
UNTIL STAMPS WERE SOLD THAT
FIRST YEAR TO RAISE $18,000,
WHICH WAS A LOT OF MONEY IN
1906, FOR THOSE PEOPLE TO GO
TO THE HOSPITAL.
IT SPREAD TO THE UNITED
STATES.
AND A LADY WHO USED TO WORK
FOR THE RED CROSS PICKED IT
UP, AND THANKS TO A
PHILADELPHIA NEWSPAPER
RAISED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF DOLLARS THE FIRST YEAR IT
WAS USED IN THE UNITED
STATES.
AND THERE ARE A LOT OF
PEOPLE WHO OWE THEIR BREATH
OF LIFE TO A CHRISTMAS
SEAL.
Pat: I DIDN'T KNOW
THAT.
Terry: I NEVER KNEW
THAT.
WE NEED TO WATCH "THE 700
CLUB."
Pat: ALL RIGHT.
WHAT'S NEXT.
Terry: THAT'S
UNBELIEVABLE.
THERE ARE SO MANY WONDERFUL
TRADITIONS THIS TIME OF
YEAR, AND IT IS FUN TO KNOW
HOW THEY CAME ABOUT.
I WANT TO SAY ACE COLLINS
HAS A GREAT BOOK CALLED
"STORIES BEHIND THE GREAT
TRADITIONS OF CHRISTMAS."
IT IS A REALLY FUN BOOK.
AND IT WOULD BE FUN TO READ
WITH THE FAMILY DURING
CHRISTMAS.
Pat: HE
IS
AN
ENCYCLOPEDIA OF ALL THESE
THINGS.
Terry: WELL, THE
CHRISTMAS CLOCK IS TICKING,
AND TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO
BUY THAT PERFECT PRESENT,
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO BRAVE
CROWDED SHOPPING MALLS AND
PACKED PARKING LOTS TO GET
YOUR GIFTS.
NORMAN KING SHOWS KRISTI HOW
TO MAKE SOMETHING SWEET AND
SPICY RIGHT IN YOUR OWN
KITCHEN.
Kristi: FOR MORE THAN
40 YEARS, THE EDITORS AT
SOUTHERN LIVING HAVE
DELIGHTED READERS WITH
ENTERTAINING IDEAS AND
RECIPES FOR TRIED AND TRUE
SOUTHERN CUISINE.
AND WHILE SOMETIMES THESE
CLASSIC RECIPES MAY SEEM
LIKE A LOT OF WORK, NORMAN
KING SAYS YOU CAN RING EN
THE CHRISTMAS SEASON WITH A
LITTLE SOUTHERN
HOSPITALITY.
USING HIS COOKBOOK, HE
SHARES HOW TO MAKE AMAZING
GOODIES FOR EVERYONE ON YOUR
CHRISTMAS LIST.
CHRISTMAS IS ON ITS WAY,
AND WHETHER YOU WOULD LIKE
YOUR HOLIDAY TO BE A LITTLE
SWEET OR FILLED WITH A
LITTLE SPICE, NORMAN KING
HAS THE RES SPIES THAT WILL
HAVE A LITTLE -- RECIPES
THAT WILL HAVE SOMETHING FOR
EVERYONE.
GROWING UP IN THE SOUTH,
LIVING IN THE SOUTH, IT'S
ALL ABOUT HOSPITALITY.
HOW WE DO THAT, WE SHOW IT
THROUGH OUR LOVE AND WE SHOW
IT THROUGH OUR FOOD.
AND ALWAYS LIKE TO GIVE OUR
GUESTS, FRIENDS, FAMILY,
LOVED ONES, EVEN IF YOU STOP
BY FOR A LITTLE TEA --
Kristi: A LITTLE
SOMETHING SOMETHING.
EXACTLY.
Kristi: AND WE CAN TELL
YOU LIVE IN THE SOUTH
BECAUSE YOU KEEP CALLING ME
MA'AM.
EVEN THOUGH I AM ONLY 29
YEARS OLD -- MY FINGERS ARE
CROSSED.
WHAT WE HAVE IS A HONEY
PECAN BUTTER.
A SIMPLE STICK OF BUTTER,
PECANS, AND YOU CAN GIVE IT
TO YOUR FRIENDS OR PUT IT ON
FRESH BISCUITS OUT OF THE
OVEN.
AND WE HAVE A HOT FUDGE
SAUCE, AND YOU CAN USE IT
FOR ICE CREAM OR ON TOP OF
BISCUITS, WHATEVER.
Kristi: YOU CAN NEVER
GO WRONG WITH FUDGE.
AND ONE THING WE ALTS
ALSO LOVE IN THE SOUTH IS
LEMON CURRIE.
IT CAN BE A LITTLE FUSSY,
BUT I'M GOING TO SHOULD YOU
THE SECRETS.
Kristi: AS YOU'RE
SHOWING ME THIS -- MAYBE
BECAUSE I'M A NORTHERN GIRL,
I HAD NEVER REALLY HEARD OF
LEMON CURD.
WHAT DO PEOPLE USE LEMON
CURD FOR?
LEMON CURD IS PRETTY MUCH
AN ALL PURPOSE DELICIOUS
SOMETHING.
IT GOES ON ANYTHING.
IT IS VERY DESSERTY.
WE USE IT TO MAKE LEMON
MERINGUE PIES.
YOU CAN TOP IT ON CAKE.
YOU CAN USE IT FOR A VARIETY
OF THINGS.
SINCE WE MAKE IT A LOT, IT
IS KIND OF LIKE A BASE FOR A
SWEET/TART KIND OF ACCENT TO
WHATEVER KIND OF SWEET THAT
YOU LIKE.
Kristi: LEMON MERINGUE
PIE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE.
I DISTRACTED, AND WE SAW YOU
PUT IN SUGAR AND BUTTER.
WE WANT TO HEAT THIS UP
UNTIL THE BUTTER MELTS AND
SUGAR IS DISSOLVED.
Kristi: DO YOU WANT TO
PUT THE BUTTER IN FIRST?
NO.
YOU WANT TO DO IT ALL AT THE
SAME TIME.
AS I SAID, IT IS A LITTLE
FUSSY.
IN ORDER TO KEEP THAT DOWN,
YOU WANT TO MELT EVERYTHING
AT THE SAME TIME SO IT
DOESN'T GET TOO HOT.
Kristi:
Kristi: WHAT'S THE KEY
TO LEMON CURD?
SOMETIMES I JUST WANT TO BUY
IT --
THE KEY IS TEMPERING THE
EGGS.
BECAUSE THEY SORT OF
SCRAMBLE.
WE DO THIS PROCESS CALLED
TE TEMPERING, WHICH IS
ADDING A MIXTURE TO THE
EGGS.
Kristi: I LOVE THAT.
ARE WE GOING TO DO THAT
NOW?
WE ARE.
I'M GOING TO NEED YOU TO
GRAB THAT.
Kristi: GOTCHA.
I'M GOING TO WHISK UP
THESE EGGS HERE, AND I'M
GOING TO NEED YOU TO GET A
HALF LADLE FULL OF THAT
MIXTURE.
AND YOU'RE GOING TO SLOWLY
POUR THAT --
Kristi: INTO THE EGGS?
YES.
IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO HAVE AN
EXTRA HAND.
Kristi: THAT'S WHAT
MAKES THE HOLIDAYS SO FUN,
WHEN THE FAMILIES COME
TOGETHER AND YOU'RE COOKING
TOGETHER AND EATING TOGETHER
AND IT'S LOVELY.
ANOTHER LADLE, I LIKE THIS
LADLE.
THIS IS CALLED TEMPERING
IT?
YES.
AND NOW THE EGGS HAVE A
CHANCE TO GET --
Kristi: ALL
ACCLIMATED.
WE WHISK THAT BACK IN.
Kristi: IT CAN BE TOO
HOT IN THE HOUSE.
IF WE WERE AT HOME, HOW LONG
WOULD YOU BE STIRRING THIS?
THIS TAKE ABOUT 15
MINUTES.
THE WAY YOU CAN TELL IS IT
WILL COAT THE BACK OF THE
SPOON.
Kristi: KIND OF LIKE
PUDDING.
EXACTLY.
BUT A LOT THINNER AND
VELVETY.
Kristi: THAT'S KIND OF
HOW I LIKE TO DESCRIBE
MYSELF, THINNER AND
VELVETY.
AND THEN WE HAVE THE
SPICE.
Kristi: AU I'M ALL
ABOUT THE SPICE, NORMAN.
WE'VE TAKEN THESE AND
WASHED THEM.
Kristi: DO WE NEED TO
TURN ON THE STOVE?
NO.
NOT FOR THIS.
Kristi: OH, WE'RE NOT
COOKING.
WE'RE MIXING.
YOU MIX THIS TOGETHER,
AND YOU BRING IT UP TO A
BOIL OVER A MEDIUM HEAT.
Kristi: OUT OF
CURIOSITY, WHY WOULD A
PERSON WANT THIS?
YOU COULD USE THIS FOR
SALAD GREENS -- ANY WAY YOU
WOULD USE A HOT SAUCE.
WE HAVE A SPICY TANG WITH A
LITTLE SWEETNESS.
AND YOU CAN GIVE IT TO
FRIENDS AND EVERY TIME THEY
PULL IT OUT, THEY'LL THINK
OF YOU.
Kristi: AND SPEAKING OF
US, WHAT ELSE CAN WE GIVE TO
PEOPLE SO THEY LIKE US
MORE?
A BASIC CHICKEN RUB, SO
THEY CAN PUT IT ON CHICKEN
AND TURKEY.
AND THIS IS THE TIME OF YEAR
WHERE YOU'RE MAKING A LOT,
AND YOU CAN
GIVE THOSE TO
YOU'RE FRIENDS AND THEY CAN
PUT IT ON
THEIR HOLIDAY
BIRDS AND THEY'LL THINK OF
YOU.
Kristi: I LOVE THE FACT
WITH EACH OF THESE GIFTS
WE'RE GIVING THEM, THERE ARE
RECIPES ON THE FRONT.
EVEN WITH THE CHICKEN RUB,
WE'VE GOT THE RECIPES YOU
CAN USE IT FOR AND THE WHOLE
NINE YARDS, WHICH TAKES THE
GIFT TO THE NEXT LEVEL OF
LOVE.
THE FINAL THING IS THE
VINAIGRETTE.
A LITTLE VINAIGRETTE,
WITH A LITTLE BIT OF PARSLEY
IN THERE AND GARLIC AND
SHALLOTS.
LIKE YOU'RE MAKING A REGULAR
VINAIGRETTE, AND PUT IT ON
SALAD GREENS, HOWEVER YOU
WANT TO USE IT, AND IT IS
RIGHT THERE FOR YOU.
Kristi: NORMAN, THESE
ARE FANTASTIC IDEAS.
THE ONE TIP MY MOTHER ALWAYS
TAUGHT ME, NOT ONLY MAKE IT
TASTE GOOD, BUT PRESENTATION
IS THE KEY.
SO PRESENT IT WITH PRETTY
DRESSINGS.
WHERE IS MY GIFT, NORMAN?
CHOCOLATE SAUCE.
Kristi: THANK YOU.
FOR MORE IDEAS, CHECK OUT
THE BOOK "SOUTHERN LIVING
COOKING BASICS," WHICH IS
AVAILABLE IN STORES
NATIONWIDE.
THANK YOU SO MUCH, NORMAN.
I APPRECIATE YOU.
WE'LL BE BACK WITH MORE OF
"700 CLUB" RIGHT AFTER
THIS.
Terry: WE WANT TO TAKE
SOME OF THIS TIME TO ANSWER
YOUR E-MAIL QUESTIONS.
PAT, I HAVE AN E-MAIL
QUESTION FROM SOMEONE CALLED
A PRAYING MOM.
SHE SAYS, "WHAT IS YOUR
SUGGESTION FOR A 21-YEAR-OLD
DAUGHTER STILL LIVING AT
HOME WHO HAS DECIDED NO
LONGER TO GO TO CHURCH.
SHE SAYS THAT SHE PRAYS, BUT
I DON'T SEE THE FRUIT OF THE
SPIRIT OF HER LIFE.
SHOULD I MAKE IT KNOWN SHE
HAS TO GO AS LONG AS SHE IS
LIVING IN MY HOME OR JUST
CONTINUE PRAYING FOR HER?"
Pat: I WOULD STRONGLY
RECOMMEND THAT YOU NOT FORCE
A 21-YEAR-OLD TO GO TO
CHURCH.
THAT IS NOT A GOOD IDEA.
I THINK YOU NEED TO FIND
SOME REALLY ON FIRE,
ATTRACTIVE YOUNG PEOPLE, AND
TELL YOUR DAUGHTER YOU'RE
WE'RE GOING OUT TO DINNER
WITH "A," "B," AND "C," AND
YOU GO OUT TO A RESTAURANT
AND LET THESE PEOPLE TALK TO
YOUR DAUGHTER.
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT,
SOME CHURCH SERVICES ARE
ABOUT AS MUCH FUN AS A LEG
CRAMP.
WHY WOULD YOU FORCE A
21-YEAR-OLD TO ENDURE THAT
TORMENT?
[LAUGHTER]
Pat: I MEAN,
SERIOUSLY --
Terry: I AGREE WITH YOU
BECAUSE IT'S YOUR DAUGHTER'S
HEART THAT YOU WANT TO HAVE
TOUCHED.
AND YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES A
MISSIONS TRIP MAKES ALL OF
THE DIFFERENCE, IF YOU GO
WITH HER.
Pat: THAT WILL DO IT.
BUT EMPTY RITUALS IS
RIDICULOUS.
WE USED TO FORCE CHILDREN TO
SING SONGS, LET GOOD AND
KINDRED GO -- I MEAN, THEY
WERE SINGING LIES.
AND SO WE FORCED THEM --
WELL, SING, CHARLIE.
WELL, I DON'T FEEL LIKE.
WELL, GET REAL, GET HONEST,
AND GET SOME PEOPLE WHO LOVE
THE LORD.
THERE ARE MANY FELLOWSHIPS,
AND WHAT WAS JUST SAID IS
EXTREMELY WISE.
IF YOU COULD GET ON A
MISSION TRIP TOGETHER WITH
YOUR DAUGHTER, THAT WOULD
BE --
Terry: AND MAKE IT
FUN.
Pat: OH, IT WILL BE.
BUT IT WILL BE SO
CHALLENGING.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT IS
REAL.
THIS ISN'T RITUAL.
IT'S REAL.
YOU SAY SHE WON'T
PARTICIPATE IN THE RITUAL,
WHO CARES.
Terry: SUE SAYS,
"RECENTLY I FOUND OUT THAT A
FEW CHURCHES IN MY AREA
BELIEVE WITNESSING TO
CHILDREN SCARES THEM.
THEY SAY PHRASES
LIKE, QUOTE,"LET JESUS INTO
YOUR HEART," IS TAKEN
LITERAL.
I WAS FOUR WHEN I WAS
SAVED.
IF THIS WAS ONLY ONE CHURCH,
I MIGHT THINK IT WAS THEM.
BUT WITH MORE, I'M WONDERING
IF THIS IS A NEW DOCTRINE IN
THE CHURCH."
Pat: NO, IT'S NOT A NEW
DOCTRINE IN THE CHURCH.
IF YOU TALK ABOUT JESUS IT
WILL SCARE PEOPLE, SO I
WON'T DO IT -- THAT'S A
COP-OUT.
OF COURSE LITTLE CHILDREN
CAN LEARN ABOUT JESUS.
THEY COME TO THE LORD AT
FOUR, FIVE, SIX YEARS OLD,
AND THEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT
GOD.
IT'S NOT GOING
TO SCARE
PEOPLE.
IT IS NONSENSE.
Terry: ROSE SAYS, "ACTS
16: 31 SAYS BELIEVE IN JESUS
AND EVERYONE WILL BE SAVED
IN YOUR HOUSEHOLD.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN HU YOUR
HUSBAND IS NOT A BELIEVER,
BUT YOU ARE?"
Pat: THERE IS A CONTEXT
WITH EVERYTHING IN THE
BIBLE.
THE JAILER SAID, "SIR, WHAT
MUST WE DO BE TO SAVED."
THE DOORS OF THE PRISON WERE
OPEN.
HE CALLS OUT TO THE APOSTLES
TO HELP ME.
BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS
CHRIST, AND YOU WILL BE
SAVED AND SO WILL YOUR
HOUSEHOLD.
THAT HOUSEHOLD SALVATION IS
NICE TO KNOW, BUT IT ISN'T
NECESSARILY A GENERAL THING
FOR EVERYBODY.
I WANT KEEP THAT IN MIND.
WHAT DOES IT
MEAN?
GOD WILL BRING YOUR LOVED
ONES WITH YOU IF YOU STAND
TRUE WITH THE LORD.
HE WILL BRING YOUR LOVED
ONES WITH YOU.
IF YOU TRUST IN THE LORD
WITH ALL OF YOUR HEART, HE
WILL TOUCH THE LOVED ONES
YOU HAVE IN YOUR FAMILY.
THANK YOU FOR BEING WITH US
ON THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
WE WANT TO LEAVE YOU NOW
WITH A SONG.
IT IS CHRISTMASTIME.
AND HERE IS DENVER AND THE
MILE-HIGH ORCHESTRA
PERFORMING A VERY FAMILIAR
CHRISTMAS SONG, "THE LITTLE
DRUMMER BOY."
*
* COME THEY TOLD ME,
PERROMPAROMPOM *
* A NEWBORN KING TO SEE
* OUR FINEST GIFTS WE
BRING *
* PERROMPAPOMPOM
* TO LAY BEFORE THE KING
* I SAID, PEROMPAPOM
*
* OH, LITTLE BABY
* PERROMPAPOMPOM
* I AM A POOR BOY, TOO
* I HAVE NO GIFTS TO BRING,
PERROMPAPOMPOM *
* THAT'S FIT TO GIVE OUR
KING.
*
* I SAID, PERROMPAPOMPOM
*
I LIKE IT!
*
ONE MORE TIME NOW!
* MARY, MARY, MARY
* PERROMPAPOMPOM
* THE OX AND THE LAMB HAVE
COME *
