[LAUGHTER].
COMING UP, THE LOST STORY FROM
AUTHOR CHARLES DICKENS, HEAR
WHAT IT IS ABOUT AND HOW IT
SHEDS NEW LIGHT ON DICKEN'S OWN
LIFE.
*
GORDAN: A TIMELESS CHRISTMAS
TALE OF CHARACTERS LIKE SCROOGE,
TINY TIM.
WHAT INSPIRED CHARLES DICKENS TO
WRITE "A CHRISTMAS CAROL" IT
CAME DOWN TO DICKENS REQUEST FOR
CHRISTIANITY.
TODAY?
IT IS CHRISTMAS DAY, OF COURSE.
REPORTER: FROM THE SCREEN TO
THE STAGE.
*
THE TRANSFORMATION OF SCROOGE
FROM MISER TO CHEERFUL GIVER
STRIKES A CORD IN THE HEARTS OF
ADULTS AND CHILDREN.
*
ALL THESE VERSIONS A RESULT OF
CHARLES DICKENS "A CHRISTMAS
CAROL" THE ENGLISH WRITER LOVED
THE HOLIDAY.
HE SAID I WILL HONOR CHRISTMAS
IN MY HEART AND TRY TO KEEP IT
ALL THE YEAR.
MANKIND WAS MY BUSINESS,
COMMON WELFARE WAS MY BUSINESS,
CHARITY, MERCY, AND BENEVOLENCE
ALL MY BUSINESS.
AKRON, OHIO NATIVE EARNED A
PHD AT UNIVERSITY OF ST. ANDREWS
FOR HIS WORK ON DICKENS.
DICKENS USES REAL
CHRISTIANITY A NUMBER OF TIMES.
REAL CHRISTIANITY IS BEING LIKE
JESUS.
DURING HIS RESEARCH, COLLEGE
DISCOVERED DICKENS WAS A
CHRISTIAN AND HIS FAITH IN JESUS
CHRIST SURFACES IN THE THEMES
AND CHARACTERS.
HE READ A LETTER FROM DICKENSES
.
ALL MY SOCIAL ABUSES ARE
DEPARTURES FROM ITS SPIRIT.
ALL MY GOOD PEOPLE ARE HUMBLE,
CHARITABLE, FAITHFUL, FORGIVING.
OVER AND OVER I CLAIM THEM AS
DISCIPLES OF THE FOUNDER OF OUR
RELIGION.
COLLEGE SAYS MARLY'S WARNING
TO SCROOGE REFLECTS THE
IMPORTANCE OF IMITATING CHRIST.
THE TAKING CARE OF HUMANITY,
THINKING OF MY FELLOW MAN, DOING
UNTO OTHERS AS I WOULD HAVE THEM
DO UNTO ME.
FOR DICKENS, THE GOLDEN RULE WAS
ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL.
COLLEGE BELIEVES THE MOST
DEFINITIVE EVIDENCE IS THIS
LITTLE KNOWN WORK WRITTEN IN THE
HEIGHT OF HIS CAREER OVER A
PERIOD OF THREE YEARS.
TITLED, "THE LIFE OUR LORD."
CRITICS ARE RIGHT, IT IS NOT
A FANTASTIC PIECE OF LITERATURE.
IT SHINES A BRIGHT LIGHT ON
DICKENS FAITH.
HE IS THE SOUL EDITOR OF THIS
THING.
COLLEGE CALLS "THE LIFE OUR
LORD" A GOSPEL HARMONY WHERE THE
WRITER INTERWEAVES -- THE LIFE
OF CHRIST FOR THE NEXT
GENERATION, HIS CHILDREN.
MY DEAR CHILDREN, I AM
ANXIOUS THAT YOU SHOULD KNOW
SOMETHING ABOUT JESUS CHRIST,
FOR EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
HIM.
A CHRISTIAN FAMILY AT THE
TIME WOULD HAVE HAD TWO BOOKS IN
THEIR HOME, THE BIBLE AND GOSPEL
HARMONY.
SPIRITUAL FORMATION OF ITS
CHILDREN IS NOTHING DICKENS
WOULD LEAVE TO SOMEONE ELSE.
THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A VERY
IMPORTANT TOOL IN DICKENS FAMILY
FOR RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION
INSTRUCTION IN CHRISTIAN
THINKING.
COLLEGE SAYS VERY FEW PEOPLE
KNOW ABOUT THIS PART OF
DICKENS'S WORK.
LITERARY CRITICS DISMISSED
RELIGION AS UNIMPORTANT AND
SUPERFICIAL.
EDUCATORS FOLLOWED SUIT.
HE PRESENTED HIS DISROTATION AT
ST. ANDREWS.
I WOULD BE SO AUDACIOUS THAT
THIS PERSON WAS A MAN OF FAITH.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO EXPLAIN THAT
HOSTILITY, PEOPLE LIKE DARKNESS
BETTER THAN LIGHT.
A HANDFUL OF LITERARY
SCHOLARS HAVE DISCUSSED THE
FAITH OF DICKENS TO SHINE THE
LIGHT MUCH BRIGHTER, COLLEGE
SAYS HE BELIEVES GOD WANTED HIM
TO WRITE THIS BOOK.
IT IS ENTITLED "GOD AND CHARLES
DICKENS, RECOVERING THE
CHRISTIAN VOICE OF A CLASSIC
AUTHOR" A BOOK RELEASED THIS
YEAR THE 200 ANSWER ANNIVERSARY
OF DICKENS'S BOOK.
IT WAS EASY TO GET A
PUBLISHER.
IT IS A GOOD FEELING WHEN YOU
KNOW THE SPIRIT OF GOD IS
INVOLVED.
AND THIS IS NOT YOUR PROJECT.
HE DEDICATES THE BOOK TO HIS
GRANDCHILDREN, MAY YOU EACH FIND
JOY AS DID DICKENS IN OUR
SAVIOR.
MARK MARTIN, SUPERVISOR
SUPERVISOR NEWS, AKRON, OHIO.
GORDAN: THAT IS A STORY YOU
WON'T HEAR ANYWHERE ELSE.
SOME OF THE GREAT AUTHORS, GREAT
LITERATURE OF THE WORLD ALL
PRODUCED BY CHRISTIANS.
WHETHER YOU LOOK AT ENGLISH OR
RUSSIAN LANGUAGE, CHRISTIANS
BEHIND A LOT OF THE GREAT BOOKS.
TERRY: ABSOLUTELY.
UP NEXT A DEVOUT MUSLIM BEGINS
TO HAVE STRANGE DREAMS.
THERE WAS A FIGURE IN THE
BACKGROUND SITTING ON A ROCK.
TERRY: FIND OUT WHO HE SAW
AND HEARD.
THAT IS NEXT.
*
÷
GORDAN: FOR TWO YEARS,
ANTONIO SANTANA LIVED AS A
DEVOUT MUSLIM.
HE PRAYED FIVE TIMES A DAY, READ
THE KORAN AND CHANGED HIS NAME.
HE NEVER FOUND GOD, INSTEAD GOD
FOUND HIM.
EVERY LITTLE BOY NEEDS THE
IMAGE OF HIS FATHER.
THE NEED TO HEAR THAT MAN.
THAT IS WHO MY DAD IS.
THROUGHOUT MY LIFE I GUESS I WAS
SEARCHING FOR THAT FATHER
FIGURE.
ANTONIO SANTANA GREW UP NEVER
KNOWING HIS BIOLOGICAL FATHER.
MY MOM WAS ALWAYS AT WORK AND
STEP DAD GONE.
I DID WHAT I WANTED.
HE HAD LITTLE DIRECTION IN
HIS LIFE BUT MANAGED TO AVOID
THE NEGATIVE INFLUENCES IN HIS
NEIGHBORHOOD.
I PICKED UP A BASKETBALL,
BEING ON THE BASKETBALL COURT
PLAYED A VITAL ROLE IN KEEPING
DRUGS AND GANGS OUT OF MY LIFE.
HE COULDN'T AVOID THEM
FOREVER.
I MADE IT ALL THE WAY TO MY
SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL AND
STARTED SMOKING MARIJUANA AND
SKIP CLASS TO GO SMOKE WEEK AND
IT WENT DOWNHILL.
EVENTUALLY HE WAS KICKED OUT
OF HIGH SCHOOL.
THERE WAS NO ONE TO GUIDE
ANTONIO IN HIS DECISIONS,
CERTAINLY NOT HIS OWN FAMILY.
THEY NEVER SAT ME DOWN TO
TELL ME I WAS MESSING MY LIFE
UP.
MAYBE I WOULD HAVE AVOIDED
THINGS IN MY LIFE. I WENT TO
JAIL A NUMBER OF TIMES.
THE LAST THING YOU HEAR IS THE
CLOSE OF THE JAIL CELL.
TRAPPED WITH YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS.
THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING MORE
IN LIFE.
I HAD A VOID IN MY LIFE.
I COULDN'T FILL IT NO MATTER
WHAT DRUG, WHAT GIRL, NOTHING
COULD FILL THE VOID.
IT LED ME FURTHER INTO
DEPRESSION.
I NEEDED A CHANGE IN LIFE.
HE FOUND WORK AT A LOCAL
FACTORY.
IT WAS THERE HE BEGAN TO SEARCH
FOR GOD.
I HAD A FEW FRIENDS THAT
WOULD SMOKE MARIJUANA WITH ME
CLAIMING TO BE MUSLIM.
WHEN I GOT OFF WORK I WENT TO
THE MOSQUE.
I WAS EXCITED BECAUSE I WANTED
TO LEARN ABOUT WHO GOD IS.
THIS LITTLE ARAB MAN WALKED OUT.
HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HOW IT
COULD CHANGE MY LIFE.
I NEEDED A CHANGE IN MY HEART.
I STARTED OFF MY DIFFERENT
JOURNEY OF LIFE.
I STOPPED CUSSING, STOPPED
PRE-MARITAL SEX, I STOPPED
SMOKING MARIJUANA.
I HAD A NEW IDENTITY.
I WAS A MUSLIM.
HE DEVOTED HIMSELF TO ISLAM.
YET SOMETHING WAS MISSING.
I WAS PRAYING FIVE TIMES A
DAY.
EVERY TIME I KNELT DOWN, IT FELT
LIKE I WAS PRAYING TO A BRICK
WALL.
IT MADE ME MORE DEPRESSED.
I AM TRYING TO BE RIGHTEOUS.
I FELT GOD FURTHER AWAY.
HE HAD STRANGE DREAMS.
I DREAMT I WAS SWIMMING IN
THE OCEAN ALL BY MYSELF.
THERE WAS A FIGURE IN THE
BACKGROUND FISHING FOR ME.
I DIDN'T KNOW WHO THAT FIGURE
WAS, I COULDN'T CATEGORIZE HIM
AS JESUS CHRIST.
I HAD AN IMPRESSION IT WAS
JESUS.
I WAS TRYING TO MAKE SENSE.
I COULDN'T EXPLAIN IT.
THE DREAMS CONTINUED.
ONE DAY ON THE STREET I MET A
CHRISTIAN EVANGELIST.
THEY TOLD ME TO READ THIS
VERSE JOHN 14:6.
WHEN I READ IT I WAS STUNNED.
JESUS SAYS I AM THE WAY, THE
TRUTH AND THE LIFE, NO MAN
SHOULD COME TO THE FATHER BUT BY
ME.
I HAD NO REBUT L.
I COULDN'T REFUTE THOSE SAYINGS.
THE EVANGELIST PRAYED FOR
ANTONIO TO FIND THE TRUTH.
OVER THE NEXT FEW MONTHS HE
STRUGGLED.
I AM TIRED OF PRAYING, GOD
WHERE ARE YOU?
I HEAR A KNOCK ON THE FRONT
DOOR.
IT TURNED OUT TO BE MY UNCLE
RICKY.
HE SAYS THE LORD, YES.
THEN HE WALKS AWAY.
IT LED ME TO LOOK UP THE WORD
"LOVE" IN THE KORAN.
IT WAS BASED ON A STIPULATION.
THEN I LOOKED ROMANS 5:8, GOD
DEMONSTRATES OUR LOVE FOR US
WHILE YET WE ARE STILL SINNERS.
THAT LOVE LED HIS SON TO DIE FOR
ME.
I WAS LIKE WOW, THIS GOD.
HAS TO BE THE TRUE GOD.
ANTONIO FOUND WHAT HE HAD
BEEN SEEKING.
I BELIEVED IN THE JESUS OF
THE BIBLE.
I HAD A SENSE OF PEACE.
NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS WHATEVER
I AM HEADED, GOD HAS MY BACK.
I BECAME SO ENRAPTURED STUDYING
GOD.
I WANTED TO TELL EVERYBODY ABOUT
JESUS.
HE ENROLLED IN THE BIBLE
INSTITUTE TO LEARN MORE.
I WANT TO SERVE IN THE CHURCH
FULL TIME TO HELP BROKEN
FAMILIES AND MINISTER TO A
FATHERLESS GENERATION.
TO BE A BIG BROTHER TO THE
BROTHERLESS.
THE SEARCH FOR MY FATHER
DEFINITELY WAS A VOID.
SCRIPTURE IS TRUE, GOD ADOPTS US
INTO HIS FAMILY AND HE BECOMES
OUR FATHER.
GORDAN: STORY OF CHRISTMAS,
CHRIST COMES TO US.
WORD BECOMES FLESH AND DWELLS
AMONG US.
WORD CAN BECOME FLESH IN YOU.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS SEEK FOR
IT.
BE LIKE ANTONIO.
I AM LOOKING FOR TRUTH.
WHEN YOU START PUTTING THAT
QUESTION WITH A WHO IN FRONT OF
IT.
WHO IS TRUE?
THEN YOU END UP WITH JESUS
BECAUSE HE SAYS I AM THE WAY,
THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.
NO ONE COMES TO THE FATHER BUT
BY ME.
ALL THE OTHER RELIGIONS OF THE
WORD, BUDDHISM, HINDUISM,
JANISM, ISLAM, ALL OF THEM ARE
ABOUT HOW CAN YOU PERFECT
YOURSELF WHERE YOU ARE GOOD
ENOUGH TO MAKE IT?
WHERE YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH TO BE
ENLIGHTENED OR GOOD ENOUGH TO
MAKE IT TO HEAVEN?
ONLY CHRISTIANITY DOES GOD COME
AND SAY I'LL BE YOUR SALVATION.
I'LL DEMONSTRATE MY LOVE TO YOU
AND FOR YOU BY DYING FOR YOU.
WHEN YOU WEREN'T EVEN LOOKING
FOR IT.
YOU WERE STILL A SINNER HE SAYS
I'LL DIE FOR YOU, I WANT YOU TO
BE WITH ME FOR ALL ETERNITY.
I WANT TO COME AND SAVE THE
WORLD.
THAT IS THE MESSAGE FOR GOD SO
LOVED THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS
ONLY BEGOTTEN SON THAT WHO IS
EVER BELIEVES IN HIM WOULD NOT
PERISHES BUT HAVE EVER LASTING
LIFE.
TODAY YOU CAN BE A WHO SO EVER.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS DO WHAT
ANTONIO DID, I WANT TO FIND THE
TRUTH.
I WANT TO KNOW AND HERE IS A
PRAYER FOR YOU.
JESUS, IF THIS IS REAL, IF YOU
REALLY CAME, IF YOU REALLY DIED
FOR ME, COULD YOU SHOW ME?
COULD YOU SHOW UP FOR ME?
YOU'LL FIND YOU ARE NOT PRAYING
INTO SOME BRICK WALL.
YOU ARE PRAYING TO SOMEBODY
LOOKING FOR YOU, FISHING FOR YOU
WHO WANTS YOU TO BE WITH HIM FOR
ALL ETERNITY.
AND ALL HE HAS BEEN WAITING FOR
YOU TO SAY IS, WILL YOU COME?
WILL YOU COME INTO MY HEART?
WILL YOU FORGIVE ME, SET ME
FREE?
IF YOU DO THAT WITH ALL OF YOUR
HEART, HE'LL ANSWER AND HE'LL
COME.
NOW, IF THIS IS FOR YOU, IF YOU
WANT THIS TO BE A SPECIAL
CHRISTMAS WHERE JESUS IS BORN
INTO OUR HEART, ALL YOU HAVE TO
DO IS PRAY WITH ME.
HE'LL ANSWER, HE'LL MAKE YOU
KNEW.
HE'LL NEVER LEAVE YOU, NEVER
FORSAKE YOU, A UNIQUE PLAN JUST
FOR YOU IF YOU JUST OPEN YOUR
HEART TO HIM.
LET'S PRAY.
JESUS, THAT'S RIGHT, SAY HIS
NAME OUT LOUD, JESUS, I COME TO
YOU AND I ASK RIGHT NOW THAT YOU
WOULD COME INTO MY HEART THAT
YOU WOULD BE REAL TO ME.
THAT YOU WOULD BE MY SAVIOR, MY
REDEEMER, JESUS, RIGHT NOW, I
ASK FOR FORGIVENESS FOR ALL THE
THINGS I HAVE DONE WRONG.
I WANT TO TURN FROM ALL OF IT
AND TURN TO YOU.
SO JESUS, HEAR MY PRAYER,
FORGIVE ME, MAKE ME NEW, FOR I
ASK IT, IN JESUS' NAME AMEN.
FATHER, FOR THOSE THAT PRAYED, I
ASK FOR A BAPTISM IN YOUR LOVE.
I ASK THAT YOU SURROUND THEM
WITH THE LOVE THAT NEVER PASSES
AWAY.
AND BE WITH THEM AND ASSURE THEM
THAT YOU HAVE THEIR FUTURE.
DO IT NOW, LORD, FOR I ASK IT IN
JESUS' NAME AMEN.
BIBLES SAYS IF YOU'LL BELIEVE IN
YOUR HEART AND CONFESS WITH YOUR
MOUTH YOU SHALL BE SAVED.
I WANT YOU TO DO JUST THAT.
SAY I JUST ASKED JESUS INTO MY
HEART, TOLL FREE NUMBER,

GORDAN: IT CAN BE TOUGH FOR
ANYONE TO START A NEW LIFE IN A
NEW TOWN EVEN TOUGHER IN A NEW
COUNTRY.
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED TO THE
DUTCH COUPLE IN THE NEXT STORY.
THEY MOVED TO ISRAEL.
THE TRANSITION MUCH MORE
DIFFICULT THAN THEY EVER
EXPECTED.
EARMA AND ANDRUS LEFT BEHIND
A COMFORTABLE LIFE IN HOLLAND SO
THEY COULD RETURN TO THEIR
HOMELAND IN ISRAEL.
WHEN WE GOT BACK I WAS HOME
SICK FOR ISRAEL.
WE STARTED PRAYING ABOUT IT.
WE KNEW IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT
FINANCIALLY.
WE KEPT FINDING VERSES IN THE
BIBLE ABOUT THE JEWS COMING BACK
TO ISRAEL.
HE IS A FULL TIME NURSE WHILE
EARMA RUNS A CLINIC.
THE CALL TO STAY IN ISRAEL WAS
STRONG EVEN THOUGH EARMA DIDN'T
KNOW SHE WAS JEWISH UNTIL SHE
WAS SEVEN.
THOSE THAT SURVIVED THE
HOLOCAUST WERE AFRAID.
WHEN I FOUND OUT I WAS JEWISH, I
THOUGHT IT WAS SPECIAL.
IT IS A GREAT PRIVILEGE TO LIVE
HERE AFTER WE SPENT SEVERAL
GENERATIONS AWAY FROM OUR
HOMELAND.
THEY NEEDED EARMA'S BUSINESS
TO SUCCEED.
THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE EQUIPMENT.
I THOUGHT ABOUT CLOSES THE
BUSINESS.
WHEN GOD WANTS YOU TO MOVE
FORWARD, YOU CAN'T VEER TO THE
LEFT OR RIGHT.
SOME DAYS WHEN THEY ONLY HAD
ENOUGH MONEY TO BUY FOOD FOR
CHILDREN, THEY FASTED.
THEY BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST AND
ARE PART OF A MESSIANIC
CONGREGATION.
CBN ISRAEL WORKS WITH THAT
CONGREGATION.
WE IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE FAMILY
FOOD AND NEW CLOTHES.
IT WAS WONDERFUL TO HAVE FOOD
FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY.
AFTER I PRAYED ABOUT NEEDING NEW
SHOES, YOU GAVE US NEW SHOES.
IT IS GOOD TO KNOW CHRISTIANS
FROM ABROAD CARE ABOUT US AND
GIVE TO THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL.
I KNOW THE LORD WILL BLESS YOU
FOR THAT.
WE KNEW HER OFFICE NEEDED NEW
WORK, WE STOCKED HER OFFICE WITH
PRODUCTS AND GAVE HER THE
EQUIPMENT SHE NEEDS TO DO HER
JOB WELL.
IT IS A BIG BLESSING.
MY ROOM IS SO BEAUTIFUL.
NOW MY CLIENTS ARE VERY
COMFORTABLE.
IT IS EASY TO SHARE WITH THEM
ABOUT JESUS. YOUR GIFTS
HAVE BEEN A HUGE BLESSING.
THEY ARE A CONFIRMATION TO THE
LORD WE ARE ON THE RIGHT TRACK.
MANY JEWISH IMMIGRANT
FAMILIES IN NEED HERE IN ISRAEL.

ISRAEL.

MONDAY, WE HIT THE FIELD WITH
AMERICA'S TOP RUNNING BACK, ONE
YEAR AFTER AN INJURY NEARLY
DERAILED HIS CAREER.
YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE TO GET
UP.
PLUS...
IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST
GIFTS.
IF YOU DID A DNA ON SANTA, IT
WOULD COME UP WITH TWO IMPORTANT
CHRISTIAN MEN.
MONDAY ON "700 CLUB."
TERRY: THE WEEK BEFORE
CHRISTMAS IS THE BUSIEST TIME OF
THE YEAR FOR THE POST OFFICE.
NO WONDER WHY.
TIME IS RUNNING OUT TO GET THOSE
1.6 BILLION CHRISTMAS CARDS
DELIVERED BEFORE THE BIG DAY.
HARD TO BELIEVE.
AUTHOR ACE COLLINS TOLD KRISTI
WATTS ABOUT THE VERY FIRST CARD
AND THE REASONS.
KRISTI: OKAY, ACE, THE ONE
THING I ABSOLUTELY IS GOING TO
MY MAILBOX AND GETTING A
CHRISTMAS CARD.
FEWER PEOPLE SEND THEM.
IT MEANS SOMETHING.
IT CAN MEAN SOMETHING FAR MORE,
TOO, IF YOU WRITE SOMETHING IN
IT, LIKE A THANK YOU TO THAT
PERSON FOR SOME WAY THEY BLESSED
YOU, IT WILL ENCOURAGE THEM TO
CONTINUE TO BLESS YOU AND BLESS
OTHERS, THEY MADE AN IMPACT THAT
YEAR.
CHRISTMAS CARDS CAN HAVE A
TREMENDOUS IMPACT WHEN USED AS
ALSO THANK YOU CARDS FOR A
SPIRITUAL GIFT.
IT IS SPECIAL.
THAT IS WHAT HENRY COAL THOUGHT
OF WHEN HE INVENTED THE CAR IN
1843.
HE HAD TOO MANY LETTERS SO HE
DEVISED A
THREE-FOLD
CARD AND
WRITE A
VERSE AND
PUT THIS
BEAUTIFUL
PAINTING OF THIS
ENGLISH FAMILY AROUND THE TABLE.
WHEN YOU CLOSE THE CARD, IT HAD
A PICTURE OF PEOPLE WHO DIDN'T
HAVE MUCH AT CHRISTMAS
ENCOURAGING THOSE TO SHARE
BLESSINGS WITH OTHERS DURING THE
CHRISTMAS SEASON.
WHAT A WONDERFUL WAY FOR
CHRISTMAS CARDS TO KICK OFF.
WE DON'T NEED TO LOSE THIS
TRADITION.
KRISTI: I AM GOING TO SEND
THEM OUT MYSELF, WHY?
BECAUSE YOU GAVE THEM A WHOLE
NEW MEANING.
MERRY CHRISTMAS.
KRISTI: MERRY CHRISTMAS BACK
AT YOU.
TERRY: "STORIES BEHIND THE
GREAT TRADITIONS OF CHRISTMAS"
IT IS A LOT OF FUN, I THINK YOUR
FAMILY WOULD ENJOY.
READ ONE OF THESE OCCASIONALLY.
SO MUCH SPIRITUAL MEANING.
WE DON'T KNOW THE ORIGIN.
WHY DO WE HAVE STOCKINGS HUNG
BY THE FIRE?
TERRY: TWELVE DAYS OF
CHRISTMAS SONG, ALL THE
SPIRITUAL IMPLICATIONS.
NEED TO GET THE BOOK.
GORDAN: WE USED TO RING
BELLS
ON CHRISTMAS
MORNING.
WE DON'T DO THAT
ANYMORE.
TERRY: A LOT OF NOISE,

THIS MAN SPOKE AND I KNEW IT WAS
GOD.
HE TOLD ME TO READ MY BIBLE.
I FELT NOTHING BE CALMENS AND
CALMNESS AND NO WORRIES CAN GOD
APPEAR IN DREAMS?
GORDAN: YES.
OF COURSE, SOLOMAN GOES OFF TO
OFFER SACRIFICE.
GOD APPEARS TO HIM IN A DREAM,
WHAT CAN I DO FOR YOU, SOLOMAN.
LORD, I NEED WISDOM.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GOVERN THESE
PEOPLE.
I NEED WISDOM.
GOD LOVED THAT.
I WOULD BE INTERESTED IN WHAT
DID GOD TELL YOU TO READ OR JUST
A GENERAL INSTRUCTION?
IF IT WAS, PRAY AND ASK HIM,
WHAT DO YOU WANT TO SHOW ME
TODAY?
UNDERSTAND THAT WHEN JESUS
PROMISED THAT THE SPIRIT OF GOD,
HOLY SPIRIT WOULD LEAD YOU INTO
ALL TRUTH, IT IS THAT KIND OF
UNDERSTANDING AND PRAY FOR THAT
ILLUMINATION WHEN YOU READ THE
BIBLE.
IT WILL TAKE YOU ON A GREAT
JOURNEY, THE HOLY SPIRIT BECOMES
YOUR TEACHER AS YOU READ THROUGH
THE BIBLE.
TRY THAT.
SEE IF IT WORKS.
TERRY: BILLY ASKS IS THERE A
COMPLETE BOOK OF GOSPEL OF
THOMAS AND LED BY THE HOLY
SPIRIT?
GORDAN: IT IS AN AGNOSTIC
VERSION, MOST COMPLETE VERSION
DISCOVERED IN A BUNCH OF SCROLLS
HIDDEN IN THE DESERT, YEAR WAS
1943 IN A TOWN IN EGYPT.
THE REASON THESE MANUSCRIPTS
WERE HIDDEN AWAY, THEY WEREN'T
CONSIDERED ORTHODOX AND WEREN'T
INCLUDED IN THE CANNON.
IN EARLY CHRISTIANITY, OR NAN
WRITES ABOUT THE GOSPEL OF
THOMAS NOT BEING ACCEPTED BY THE
CHURCHES, NO. 1 IT WASN'T
WRITTEN BY THOMAS.
NO. 2, IT WAS WELL PASSED 100
A.D. THEREFORE THE PERSON
WRITING IT WASN'T AN EYEWITNESS
TO THE EVENTS.
WE NEED TO UNDERSTAND THERE WERE
REASONS THE CHURCH ESTABLISHED
THE CANNON OF THE BIBLE AND TEXT
OMITTED WERE FOR VERY GOOD
REASONS.
THEY COULDN'T AUTHENTICATE THEM
AS EYEWITNESSES.
THEY COULDN'T AUTHENTICATE THEM
AS AUTHORITIES, APOSTLES IN THE
CHURCH.
THEREFORE THEY WERE EXCLUDED.
WE SHOULDN'T BE ADDING THEM BACK
IN BECAUSE SOMEBODY FINDS A
SCROLL IN THE DESERT IN 1945.
TERRY: GOOD ANSWER.
YOU PASSED.
[LAUGHTER].
GORDAN: I GET AN A, YEA!
TERRY: I KNEW YOU WERE
HOPING.
CARLOS SAYS IS IT OKAY TO BE
REMARRIED?
GORDAN: IT IS UNTIL DEATH DO
YOU PART.
YOU ARE FREE TO BE MARRIED, EVEN
WITH THE WORDS OF JESUS
STRICTEST IN TERMS OF
REMARRIAGE.
DEATH IS YES, YOU CAN REMARRY,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO SPEND YOUR
LIFE ALONE.
TERRY: TIFFANY SAYS SOME
CHRISTIANS SAY GOD HAS GIVEN US
CREATIVE POWER WITH OUR WORDS.
CAN WE SPEAK SOMETHING INTO
EXISTENCE?
GORDAN: TIFFANY, YOU HAVE TO
BE CAREFUL WITH THIS.
I'LL REPEAT THIS STORY, IT
ILLUSTRATES THE PROBLEM.
THERE WAS A TRIBE WHO LIVED ON
AN ISLAND IN THE PACIFIC OCEAN
DURING WORLD WAR II, MILITARY
PLANES WOULD FLY IN AND DELIVER
THEM SUPPLIES.
THEY GOT IT INTO THEIR HEADS IF
THEY LINED UP ON EITHER SIDE OF
THE RUNWAY, A PLANE WOULD
APPEAR.
UNFORTUNATELY WHEN THE WORLD WAR
II WAS OVER THE PLANES STOPPED.
THEY STILL GATHERED AT THE
RUNWAY EXPECTING PLANES TO LAND
AND WOULDN'T LAND.
YOU CAN GO SO FAR WITH THIS AND
GET INTO HYPERFAITH REALMS, NAME
IT AND CLAIM IT REALMS THAT
AREN'T REAL.
INSTEAD OF BEING REAL FAITH, YOU
KNOW AND BELIEVE AND YOU SPEAK,
BELIEVE IN MY HEART, THEREFORE I
SPOKE.
YOU ARE JUST EXPRESSING A WISH.
AT THE SAME TIME, WORDS CAN BE
VERY DESTRUCTIVE.
WORDS ARE VERY POWERFUL.
YOU HAVE THE POWER OF LIFE AND
DEATH IN YOUR TONGUE.
THAT IS WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS.
SPEAK LIFE OVER YOURSELF.
SPEAK LIFE OVER YOUR CHILDREN.
DON'T PROPHECY DOOM OVER THEM.
HERE IS AN EXERCISE.
START SAYING I AM WEAK AND
POWERLESS, SAY IT TEN TIMES, I
CAN'T -- PICK AN OBJECT TO
WEIGHS SOMETHING NEAR YOU, A
CHAIR OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT.
I AM WEAK AND POWERLESS AND
CAN'T LIFT THIS CHAIR, IF YOU
SAY IT 10 TIMES.
NOW TURN IT AROUND, I CAN DO ALL
THINGS THROUGH CHRIST THAT
STRENGTHENS ME, THEN LIFT THE
SAME CHAIR AND SEE THE
DIFFERENCE.
WORDS ARE VERY POWERFUL.
THEY ARE VERY MEANINGFUL.
DO YOU HAVE THE POWER TO CREATE
AIRPLANES FULL OF SUPPLIES OUT
OF THIN AIR?
THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR
THIS PROGRAM. WE LEAVE YOU WITH
