Lee: COMING UP...WE
CELEBRATE BLACK HISTORY
MONTH WITH A LOOK AT
TRAILBLAZING POSITIONS.
I THOUGHT THEY WERE
HEROS.
Lee: FROM THE DOCTORS
IN THE CIVIL WAR --
IT IS HARD FOR ME TO EVEN
IMAGINE THE CHALLENGES THEY
FACED.
Lee: TO THE
NEUROSURGEONS TODAY.
IT'S A MIRACLE.
Lee: HOW THEY OVERCAME
THE ODDS AND CHANGED THE
COURSE OF HISTORY.
PLUS, A LIVE PERFORMANCE
FROM NEW SONG ON TODAY'S
"700 CLUB."
*
I'M COMING ALIVE *
*
[APPLAUSE]
Pat: WELL, WELCOME,
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, TO
THIS EDITION OF "THE 700
CLUB."
TERRY, THERE IS GOOD NEWS
FOR THE LADIES.
A WOMAN HAS FINALLY WON THE
POLL POSITION AT THE DAYTONA
500.
DANICA PATRICK DROVE THAT
RASCAL OVER 195 MILES PER
HOUR.
Terry: I CAN'T
IMAGINE.
YOU HAVE AN EXPERIENCE WITH
DRIVING THAT.
Pat: I DROVE 30 LAPS
DOWN AT CHARLESTON.
I COULDN'T GET IT OVER 135.
I WANTED TO GO FASTER, AND I
KEPT FLOORING THE THING, AND
THAT'S ALL I COULD GE GET.
THE OTHER THING, PROTESTS IN
WASHINGTON TODAY.
THERE IS GOING TO BE A
WINDCHILL OF 18, AND HEARTY
SOULS ARE PROTECTING GLOBAL
WARMING.
Terry: AND SENSES
FLOWING TO THE WIND.
Pat: SENSES FLOWING TO
THE WIND.
THEY'RE GOING TO BE COLD
UP.
ALL RIGHT.
I WROTE A BOOK ON IT.
I'M THINKING ABOUT
REPUBLISHING "THE END OF THE
AGE," BUT THIS ONE CAME OUT
OF NOWHERE.
IT IS THE BIGGEST METEOR TO
HIT EARTH IN OVER 100
YEARS.
IT BLEW UP OVER RUSSIA ON
FRIDAY, AND NO ONE SAW IT
COMING.
Terry: NOW THE UNITED
NATIONS, CONGRESS, AND
SCIENC SCIENTISTS ARE
ASKING, HOW CAN WE FIND
THESE BEFORE THEY CAUSE
UNTOLD DAMAGE.
Reporter: THE METEOR
THAT EXPLODED OVER RUSSIA
CARRIED THE EXPLOSIVE FORCE
OF 20 TO 30 HIROSHIMA
BOMBS.
AND A 150 ASTEROID MISSED
EARTH BY ONLY 17,000 MILES.
NASA THAT IS THERE WAS NO
CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO,
BUT IT RAISES THE SPECTOR OF
THE THREAT THAT ASTEROIDS
CAN POSE TO EARTH.
EXPERTS SAY THIS COULD BE A
COSMIC WARNING SHOT AND A
REMINDER TO CONTINUE TO
INVEST IN SPACE SCIENCE.
20 YEARS AGO, IF DA14
FLEW BY THE EARTH, WE WOULD
HAVE NEVER KNOWN IT.
Reporter: THE U.N. AND
THE HOUSE SCIENCE SPACE AND
TECHNOLOGY COMMITTEE
ANNOUNCED PLANS TO
INVESTIGATE THE THREAT OF
ASTEROIDS TO EARTH.
ONE FORMER NASA ASTRONAUT IS
EXPLORING A PLAN TO
INVESTIGATE ASTEROIDS.
IT COULD GIVE EARTH DECADES
OF AS ADVANCED WARNING.
WITH 10, 20, 50 YEARS
OFNITY, IT IS
STRAIGHTFORWARD TO REFLECT
AN AFTE ASTEROID.
Reporter: HE SAYS HIS
RESEARCH WILL COST
$20 MILLION TO 30 MILLION.
OFFICIALS ESTIMATE IT WILL
COST OVER $33 MILLION TO
REPAIR DAMAGE FROM THE
RUSSIAN METEOR.
HOW COULD WE LET OUR
CIVILIZATION OR PARTS OF OUR
CIVILIZATION OR HUGE PARTS
OF CITIES GO AWAY, BE
DESTROYED, IF WE COULD HAVE
DONE SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
Reporter: HEATHER
CELLS, CBN NEWS.
Pat: I WROTE A BOOK
CALLED "THE END OF THE AGE,"
BECAUSE I BELIEVE THE
PROPHECY THAT WAS GIVEN BY
JESUS CHRIST WILL BE
FULFILLED ALMOST VERBATIM
ONLY BY AN ASTEROID STRIKE
ON EARTH.
IT WILL BE A HORRIBLE THING
TO CONTEMPLATE.
I WROTE ABOUT THE
DEVASTATION AND WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN, AND ONE THAT WAS A
HALF MILE, JUST A HALF MILE
IN DIAMETER, AND WHAT IT DID
TO THE WHOLE EARTH.
THEY HAVE THOSE THAT --
THERE ARE FIVE MILLION HUNKS
OF ROCKS AROUND THE ORBIT OF
THE EARTH.
Terry: WHAT I THOUGHT
IT WAS SO FASCINATING BEHIND
YOUR BOOK IS YOU DID ALL OF
THE SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH
BEHIND IT, THE IMPACT THAT
WOULD HAVE.
WE DON'T REALIZE WHAT WOULD
HAPPEN TO THE EARTH.
Pat: IT SHAKES THE
EARTH, AND THE TSUNAMIS.
IN MINE, WHAT IT DID TO ASIA
WAS EXTRAORDINARY.
WE HAVE NO IDEA THE
EXPLOSIVE FORCE.
MINE WAS THREE BILLION
POUNDS.
I THINK IT FULFILLS BIBLE
PROPHECY.
I MAY BRING THAT BOOK OUT
AGAIN BECAUSE IT WAS SO
TIMELY IN TODAY'S WORLD.
THE BIG PEOPLE WAS PEOPLE
IGNORED IT.
AND THE SCIENCE COMMUNITY
REFUSED TO APPROPRIATE THE
NECESSARY MONEY.
I HAVE A CORRECTION IN MY
EAR.
THERE IS A PRODUCER.
AND THE PRODUCER SAID IT WAS
NOT 18° IN WASHINGTON.
IT WAS 16°.
AND THEY SAID THE MARCH
AGAINST GLOBAL WARMING IN
THAT 16° WEATHER.
THE WINDCHILL -- IT WAS
YESTERDAY, NOT TODAY.
THEY MAY HAVE ANOTHER ONE
TODAY.
WE'VE GOT TO TAKE CARE OF
GLOBAL WARMING, ESPECIALLY
IN THE SNOWSTORMS.
WELL, ONE OF THE NATION'S
LEADING SURGEONS GOT A GREAT
DEAL OF ATTENTION WHEN HE
SPOKE OUT ABOUT HEALTH CARE
AND TAXES RECENTLY AT A
PRESIDENTIAL PRAYER
BREAKFAST.
NOW HE IS EXPLAINING WHY HE
MADE THOSE REMARKS.
Lee: PAT, DR. BEN
CARSON SAYS HE ASKED GOD TO
SHOW HIM WHAT TO SAY BEFORE
HE MADE HIS SPEECH AT THIS
MONTH'S NATIONAL PRAYER
BREAKFAST IN WASHINGTON,
D.C.
CARSON QUESTIONED HIGHER
TAXES ON PEOPLE WHO MAKE
MORE MONEY, AND HE TALKED
ABOUT A SIMPLER FLAT TAX,
LIKE THE IDEA OF THE TITHE
FROM THE BIBLE.
HE ALSO TALKED ABOUT
HANDLING HEALTH CARE FAR
DIFFERENTLY THAN THE
PRESIDENT'S OBAMA CARE
PLAN.
SO FAR HIS SPEECH HAS GOTTEN
MORE THAN TWO MILLION VIEWS
ON YouTube, AND
CATAPULTED HIS BOOK "AMERICA
THE BEAUTIFUL," TO THE BEVEL
SELLERS' LIST.
ON ABC'S "THIS WEEK," HE
SAYS THERE IS ANOTHER REASON
FOR THE STRONG REACTION.
I MAY HAVE COVERED THE
FACT THAT BEFORE I GAVE THAT
TALK, I PRAYED AND ASKED GOD
TO GIVE ME WISDOM, WHAT TO
SAY.
WHAT WOULD RESONATE.
WHAT WOULD BE IMPORTANT.
I DON'T THINK IT WAS
PARTICULARILY POLITICAL.
Lee: WHEN ASKED FOR HIS
OPINION ON PRESIDENT OBAMA,
DR. CARSON SAID HE IS A VERY
TALENTED POLITICIAN.
AS FOR HIS OWN POLITICAL
ASPIRATIONS, PAT, HE SAID, I
LEAVE THAT UP TO GOD.
Pat: ON ONE OF THE
BLOGS, THEY'RE SAYING CARSON
FOR PRESIDENT.
THEY JUST THINK IT WAS A
TREMENDOUS SPEECH.
YOU KNOW, THIS MAN HAS BEEN
ON THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF
REGENT UNIVERSITY FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS.
HE IS A DISTINGUISHED MAN.
EXTRAORDINARY STORY.
HIS MOTHER WAS ILLITERATE.
HE DIDN'T KNOW IT.
AND HIS MOTHER SAID TO HER
YOUNG SON, YOU WILL READ
THREE BOOKS A WEEK, AND YOU
WILL WRITE ME BOOK REVIEWS.
AND SO THEY READ THE BOOKS
AND WROTE THE BOOK REVIEWS,
AND HANDED THEM TO THE
MOTHER, NOT KNOWING THE
MOTHER COULDN'T READ WHAT
THEY WERE WRITING.
AS A RESULT OF THAT, HE
MOVED TO THE TOP OF HIS
CLASS, AND WOUND UP GOING TO
YALE AND A DISTINGUISHED
MEDICAL SCHOOL.
HE WAS THE DIRECTOR OF
PEDIATRIC NEUROSURGEON AT
JOHN HOPKINS UNIVERSITY AND
WAS THE FIRST MAN TO OPERATE
ON CONJOINED TWINS, TWINS
THAT WERE JOINED AT THE
HEAD.
Terry: THE HEAD OF ALL
PLACES.
Pat: NOBODY HAD EVER
DONE THAT.
I SAID, HOW DID YOU DO
THAT.
HE SAID HE FROZE THEM AND
DID THE SURGERY.
Terry: HE IS ONE OF THE
MOST HUMBLE PEOPLE I THINK I
HAVE EVER MET.
Pat: YEAH.
HE HAS OVER 50 HONORARY
DOCTOR RATES ARTISTS, AND
ATES, AND HE IS HUMBLE.
Lee: HERE IS ANOTHER
STORY, PAT.
A NEW STUDY INDICATES BETTER
TELEVISION EQUALS BETTER
BEHAVIOR AMONG CHILDREN.
THE STUDY SUGGESTS THAT
CHANGING THE CHANNEL FROM
VIOLENT TO EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMMING CAN CHANGE THE
BEHAVIOR OF CHILDREN.
IT SHOWS THE IMPROVEMENT IS
MODEST AND FADES OVER TIME,
BUT LEAD AUTHOR DR. DIMITRI
SAYS IT PROVES WHAT CHILDREN
WATCH IS AS IMPORTANT AS HOW
MUCH THEY WATCH.
THE WHITE HOUSE IS
DOWNPLAYING AN IMMIGRATION
PLAN THAT WAS LEAKED TO THE
MEDIA.
THEY SAY IT IS ONLY A BACKUP
MEASURE IN CASE CONGRESS
CANNOT COME UP OF IT'S OWN.
IT WOULD CREATES VISAS FOR
THOSE IN THE COUNTRY
ILLEGALLY.
IT WOULD ALSO ADD MORE
FUNDING FOR BORDER
SECURITY.
REPUBLICANS ATTACKED THE
PLAN, HOWEVER.
FLORIDA SENATOR MARCO RUBIO
SAYS IF THE SENATE ACTUALLY
PROPOSES THE BILL, IT WOULD
BE DEAD ON ARRIVAL IN
CONGRESS, AND OTHERS WONDER
IF THE PRESIDENT IS SIMPLY
PLAYING POLITICS IN
IMMIGRATION.
BY GIVEN ADVANTAGE TO
THOSE WHO CUT IN FRONT OF
THE LINE FOR IMMIGRANTS CAME
HERE LEGALLY, AND NOT
DEALING WITH BORDER SECURITY
ADEQUATELY, THAT TELLS US HE
IS LOOKING FOR A PARTISAN
ADVANTAGE.
DOES THE PRESIDENT REALLY
WANT A RESULT?
Lee: McCAIN SAYS THE
WHITE HOUSE NEEDS TO GIVE
SENATORS A CHANCE TO FINISH
THEIR OWN PLAN.
CONCERN OVER NEW GUN CONTROL
LAWS IN THIS COUNTRY HAS LED
TO A RUN ON AMMUNITION AND A
NATIONWIDE SHORTAGE.
Reporter: LOCAL POLICE
DEPARTMENTS ARE HAVING A
HARD TIME FINDING BULLETS TO
FILL THEIR GUNS.
SOME WORRY IT COULD LEAD TO
A DANGEROUS SHORTAGE THAT
COULD AFFECT THE WAY LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENTS DO THEIR
JOB.
WE WERE ISSUED A BOX A
MONTH TO PRACTICE ON OUR
OWN.
WE NO LONGER GET THAT
BECAUSE THE AM MOW IS NOT
THERE.
Reporter: 40 CALIBER
BULLETS MOST OFTEN USED IN
POLICE TRAINING, A 50-ROUND
BOX USED TO COST ABOUT $30.
IN THE WAKE OF THE NEWTON,
CONNECTICUT, SHOOTING, THE
DEMANDS ARE UP, WHICH MEANS
SUPPLIERS ARE RAISING PRICES
AS WELL.
ALONG WITH THE TRAGEDY
INCIDENTS THAT HAPPEN, THE
FEAR OF WHAT IS GOING TO
HAPPEN WITH THE GOVERNMENT
COMES INTO PLAY, AND PEOPLE
REACT TO THAT.
Reporter: AND SOME
AGENCIES ARE PLAYING ORDER
FOR AMMO AND ARE FORCED TO
WAIT MONTHS FOR IT TO
ARRIVED.
I BELIEVE IT IS GOING TO
GET WORSE.
THE ROUNDS WILL BE FEWER.
Reporter: ANDREA
GARRETT, CBN NEWS.
Lee: AND WE'RE TOLD
THAT GUN STORES ARE ALSO
RUNNING SHORT OF COMMON
PRICES OF AMMUNITION.
ONE GUN SHOP OWNER IN NORTH
CAROLINA TELLS "U.S.A.
TODAY" WE ARE ACTUALLY IN
UNCHARTERED TERRITORY.
OUR STORE IS 53 YEARS OLD,
AND WE HAVE NEVER SEEN
ANYTHING LIKE THIS.
PEOPLE FEEL THIS
ADMINISTRATION IS VERY
ANTI-GUN AND THEY'RE GOING
FOR THE LEGAL GUN OWNER.
THE PRESIDENT SAYS HE
DOESN'T WANT TO VIOLATE GUN
OWNERS' CONSTITUTIONAL
RIGHTS.
FOUR FOREIGN WORKERS IN
LIBYA HAVE BEEN ARRESTED ON
SPREADING CHRISTIANITY AND
GIVING OUT CHRISTIAN
LITERATURE.
PREACHING THE GOSPEL IS
AGAINST THE LAW IN THE MOST
OF MUSLIM NATION.
ONE OF THE SUSPECTS IS A
SWEDISH AMERICA.
THE OTHERS ARE FROM SOUTH
AFRICA, EGYPT, AND SOUTH
KOREA.
THE POLICE ARRESTED THEM
TUESDAY AND CONFISCATED SOME
40,000 BOOKS.
ANOTHER 20,000 BOOKS WERE
REPORTEDLY DISTRIBUTED.
CHRISTIAN HEALING EVANGELIST
T.L. OSBORNE HAS DIED.
HIS DAUGHTER SAID HE WAS IN
NO PAIN AND HAD NO
SICKNESS.
THE LORD SIMPLY TOOK HIS
BREADTH AWAY.
OSBORNE SPEASHE ESTABLISHED
OSBORNE MINISTRIES IN 1949
WITH HIS WIFE.
THEY HAD DAILY MEETINGS THAT
FEATURED UP TO 300,000
PEOPLE.
HIS MINISTRY'S MOTTO WAS:
"ONE WAY, JESUS.
ONE JOB, E EVANGELISM."
THREE OF HIS CHILDREN DIED
PREMATURELY, AND HIS WIFE,
DAISY, DIED IN HIS ARMS.
HE TALKED ABOUT THAT
EXPERIENCE ON "THE 700
CLUB."
DISCOURAGEMENT, AND
EVEN -- WELL, DEPRESSION,
OPPRESSION.
IT IS A MATTER OF THE
THOUGHTS THAT WE CHOOSE TO
RETAIN.
IF WE THINK DEPRESSING
THOUGHTS, WE'LL BE
DEPRESSED.
I HAD TO CHANGE MY WAY OF
THINKING.
INSTEAD OF OF LAMENTING
DAISY'S DEATH AND BEING GONE
FROM ME, I SAID TO MYSELF,
WAIT.
THIS ISN'T HELPING ME AND IT
WON'T HELP ANYBODY ELSE.
SO I CHANGED MY THOUGHTS AND
I DREW FROM MY MEMORY BANK
AND REMEMBERED WHEN SHE WAS
WITH ME.
AND SO I COMFORT MYSELF.
GOD COMFORTS ME.
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO TAKE
CONTROL.
Lee: T.L. OSBORNE WAS
89 YEARS OLD.
PAT, I KNOW YOU ENJOYED
INTERVIEWING HIM AND YOU
CALLED HIM A FRIEND.
Pat: A DEAR FRIEND.
HE IS A WONDERFUL MAN.
I TELL YOU THE MIRACLES THAT
MAN HAD, AND HIS BOOKS WERE
SO INSPIRING.
HE WOULD GO IN AND PREACH
JESUS.
AND HE WOULD TALK ABOUT THE
POWER OF JESUS, AND AS HE
DID, THOUSANDS HAD
MIRACULOUS HEALINGS.
AMPUTATED LIMBS GREW, AND
CRIPPLED PEOPLE STOOD UP
STRAIGHT.
AND ALL KINDS OF CANCERS
FELL OFF.
IT WAS JUST UNBELIEVABLE
WHAT ATTENDED THAT MAN.
BUT HE HAD A VISITATION OF
JESUS, AND HE WAS HIS
SERVANT.
SO WE LAMENT THE FACT, BUT
HE WAS 89 YEARS OLD.
AND I GUESS THE TIME COMES
THAT PEOPLE DIE.
Terry: BUT HE WAS A
GREAT MAN OF GOD.
AND WHY MANY NATIONS OF THE
EARTH WERE TOUCHED BY HIS
WORK.
Pat: OVERSEAS.
HE HAD A MINISTRY IN EGYPT
AND WAS ACTIVE IN AFRICA.
BUT HE WENT IN ASIA AND WAS
A COMPLETE FAILURE.
AND HE CAME BACK AND HAD AN
EXPERIENCE WITH JESUS.
THE LORD SAID, PREACH THE
GOSPEL.
DON'T TALK ABOUT ALL OF THIS
STUFF.
DON'T TALK ABOUT THE THEE
LOGICAL DOCTRINES, BUT
PREACH THE GOSPEL.
WE MISS HIM.
THE GREAT GIANTS OF THE
FAITH COME LIKE THESE
METEORS, AND THEY GO AND THE
LORD RAISES UP SOMEBODY
ELSE.
WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH
MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB" RIGHT
AFTER THIS.
Pat: THIS YEAR MARKS
THE 150th ANNIVERSARY OF
THE EMANCIPATION
PROCLAMATION.
SLAVERY HAD DIVIDED
AMERICA.
BUT FEW PEOPLE KNEW HOW MANY
BLACK MEN WHO HAD BEEN SET
FREE WHO JOINED THE UNION
ARMY, INCLUDING SEVERAL
AFRICAN-AMERICAN DOCTORS.
CHARLENE ISRAEL HAS THE
STORY THAT MAYBE FEW OF US
HAVE EVER HEARD.
Reporter: TWO SUBJECTS
FASCINATE RETIRED FASHION
DR. ROBERT SWATHON, HISTORY
AND MEDICINE.
MEDICAL HISTORY IS A
PARTICULAR INTEREST,
ESPECIALLY CONTRIBUTIONS BY
AFRICAN-AMERICANS.
IN HIS RESEARCH, HE FOUND
THAT A HANDFUL OF BLACK MEN
SERVED AS DOCTORS IN THE
CIVIL WAR.
SOMETHING HE WRITES ABOUT IN
HIS BOOK, "PROLOGUE TO
CHANGE."
WHEN PRESIDENT LINCOLN FREED
THE SLAVES IN 1863, NEARLY
200,000 BLACKS JOINED THE
UNION ARMY.
OF THE PHYSICIANS WE HAVE
IDENTIFIED, SERVING WITH THE
ARMY, THREE OF THEM WERE
COMMISSIONED OFFICERS.
THE OTHER NINE WERE CONTRACT
SURGEONS.
THE THINGS THEY WERE DOING
AS DOCTORS, MOSTLY IT WAS
TAKING CARE OF DISEASE.
THEY WOULD DO EXAMINATIONS.
Reporter: DR. ALEXANDER
WAS A VETERAN OF THE
AMERICAN CIVIL WAR AND THE
FIRST COMMISSIONED BLACK
OFFICER IN THE U.S. ARMY.
HE IS ALSO THE FIRST BLACK
OFFICER TO BE BURIED HERE IN
ARLINGTON NATIONAL
CEMETERY.
BORN TO FREE PARENTS IN FOR
NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, HE
LEARNED TO READ, EVEN THOUGH
IT WAS ILLEGAL AND
DANGEROUS.
HIS DREAM OF BECOMING A
DOCTOR IN THE 1800s SEEMED
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE.
AND THE UNIVERSITY OF
PENNSYLVANIA DENIED HIS
APPLICATION TO MEDICAL
SCHOOL.
AUGUSTA WOULD NOT GIVE UP
AND TRAVELLED TO CANADA,
ENROLLING IN TORONTO'S
TRINITY COLLEGE, WHERE IN
SIX YEARS HE RECEIVED A
DEGREE IN MEDICINE.
IT HAD TO BE MAGNITUDE
HARDER THAN THOSE OF US WHO
ARE BLACK DOCTORS NOW GO
THROUGH.
Reporter: DR DR.
ROSEIN SAYS THE HARDSHIPS
FACED BY THOSE BEFORE HER
SET A GREAT EXAMPLE FOR HER
AND OTHER BLACKS.
ON TOP OF IT BEING A VERY
DIFFICULT AND CHALLENGING
SUBJECT MATTER TO HAVE TO
UNDERSTAND, BUT TO DO THAT
IN AN ATMOSPHERE WHERE YOU
WERE CONSIDERED LESS THAN.
WHERE YOU WERE CONSIDERED TO
BE SECOND RATE OR SECOND
TIER, WHERE YOU DID NO HAVE
ALL OF THE RESOURCES YOU
NEED IN ORDER TO SUCCESS,
AND THEN TO BE ABLE TO
ACHIEVE ANYWAY?
Reporter: IN 1862,
AFTER RETURNING TO THE U.S.,
AUGUSTA WROTE A DIRECT
APPEAL TO PRESIDENT LINCOLN,
OFFERING HIS SERVICES IN THE
ARMY.
AFTER MANY ROADBLOCKS, HE
EARNED A COMMISSION IN THE
ARMY.
TIME IN THE ARMY WAS VERY
DIFFICULT.
MOST BLACK SERVICES IN THE
WAR WORKED IN MILITARY
HOSPITALS OR RECRUITING
STATIONS, BECAUSE MANY WHITE
SURGEONS REFUSED TO WORK BY
THEIR SIDE OR UNDER THEM ON
THE BATTLEFIELD.
HE HAD TWO PHYSICIANS
WITH HIM, AND THEY WERE
WHITE, AND THEY REBELED,
OBVIOUSLY.
THEY SAID THERE IS NO OTHER
WHITE MAN WORKING FOR A
BLACK MAN, AND I SHOULDN'T
HAVE TO DO IT, EITHER.
Reporter: DR. BEN SURLY
OF MASSACHUSETTS WAS
UNEXCEPTION.
HE AND OTHER DOCTORS WERE OF
MIXED RACE AND COULD EASILY
HAVE PASSED AS WHITE.
AFTER VOLUNTEERING IN
MAY 1963, HE RECEIVED A
COMMISSION WITH THE 35th
UNITED STATES COLORED
INFANTRY.
HE WAS THE ONLY BLACK
SURGEON TO SERVE IN THE
FIELD WITH HIS SOUTH
CAROLINA REGIMEN, AND ONE OF
ONLY EIGHT TO SERVE IN THE
UNION MEDICAL CORPS.
UNFORTUNATELY, LITTLE IS
WRITTEN IN THE HISTORY BOOKS
ABOUT THESE AFRICAN-AMERICAN
PHYSICIANS, AND THEIR
SERVICE TO OUR COUNTRY.
THE POWERS THAT BE
DECIDED THAT THE ACCEPTABLE
PHYSICIANS WERE WHITE MEN,
SO A LOT OF THE INFORMATION
ON A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE,
THE AFRICAN-AMERICANS AS
WELL AS THE EARLY WOMEN
PHYSICIANS, IS JUST PEOPLE
CHOSE NOT TO RECORD IT.
Reporter: AFTER THE
WAR, DR. ALEXANDER AUGUSTA
WENT ON TO SERVE ON THE
STAFF AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY.
AS FOR DR. DEGRAT, HE WAS
PRESENTED WITH A CEREMONIAL
AWARD.
SLAWSEN IS DOING WHAT HE CAN
TO TELL THE STORIES OF THESE
PHYSICIANS, EACH OF WHOM
DESERVES A PLACE IN HISTORY
AS FORERUNNERS OF THE MODERN
WORLD.
I THOUGHT THESE PEOPLE
WERE HEROS.
THEY WANTED TO SERVE IN THE
BEST WAY THEY COULD.
AND THEY WERE TRAINED AS
PHYSICIANS, AND THAT WAS THE
BEST SERVICE THEY COULD
GIVE.
I DON'T SEE A DIFFERENCE.
Reporter: CHARLENE
ISRAEL, CBN NEWS, COLUMBIA,
MARYLAND.
Pat: THAT'S A SIDE OF
HISTORY I HAVEN'T BEEN
FAMILIAR WITH.
I GUESS FEW OF US HAVE.
Terry: WE'VE DONE SOME
WONDERFUL STORIES HERE, AND
EACH YEAR, DURING BLACK
HISTORY MONTH ESPECIALLY, TO
FEATURE PEOPLE WHO REALLY,
REALLY MADE A DIFFERENCE IN
MANY WAYS IN THEIR
LIFETIME.
GREAT JOB, CHARLENE.
UP NEXT, SHE IS THE MOTHER
OF AN NBA SUPER STAR, AND
SHE IS ALSO A FORMER DRUG
ADDICT.
I HEARD THE PERSON SAY,
STOP!
AND I SAID, WHAT HAVE I JUST
PUT IN MY ARM.
CALL THE AMBULANCE NOW!
Terry: DWAYNE WADE'S
MOTHER TALKS ABOUT THE DAY
SHE ALMOST DIED.
THEN LATER ON, THE SOUND OF
NEW SONG WITH THEIR LATEST
HIT "SWALLOW THE OCEAN."
*
* I'M COMING AWAY WITH
YOU *
Pat: WELL, BASKETBALL
IS HOT, AND ONE OF THE
HOTTEST TEAMS IS THE MIAMI
HEAT.
AS A SHOOTING GUARD FOR THE
MIAMI HEAT, DWAYNE WADE IS
ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR
PLAYERS IN THE NBA.
BUT HIS BIGGEST FAN IS HIS
MOTHER, JOLINDA.
AND SHE REMEMBERS WATCHING
HER SON LEADING HIS
BASKETBALL TEAM TO THE FINAL
FOUR CHAMPIONSHIP IN 2009.
THAT WAS JUST AFTER JOLINDA
GOT RELEASED FROM PRISON.
REPORTER MICHELLE WILSON
TALKED WITH HER ABOUT HER
JOURNEY FROM THE PITS TO THE
PULPIT.
Reporter: TO SOME, THIS
IS JUST ANOTHER BOARDED UP
BUILDING ON CHICAGO'S SOUTH
SIDE.
BUT TO JOLINDA WADE, MOTHER
OF NBA SUPER STAR DWAYNE
WADE, THIS BUILDING WAS HOME
TO HER.
I WAS STANDING IN A
BUILDING WHERE THERE WAS
RATS THE SIZE OF CATS.
SOMETIMES YOU DIDN'T THINK
AND YOU HAVE TO DO WHAT YOU
HAVE TO DO.
Reporter: SHE GREW UP
IN A ROUGH NEIGHBORHOOD IN
CHICAGO.
SHE EXCELLED IN SCHOOL, BUT
DESPERATELY WANTED TO FIT IN
WITH HER PEERS.
SO SHE STARTED DRINKING IN
EIGHTH GRADE AND EVENTUALLY
STARTED SMOKING MARIJUANA.
I DIDN'T KNOW AT THAT
TIME THAT THIS THING WAS
GOING TO BECOME A CRUTCH.
Reporter: BY THE TIME
SHE WAS 18, SHE HAD GIVEN
BIRTH TO TWO CHILDREN.
THAT'S WHEN SHE MET WAYNE
WAYNE'S FATHER.
I BELIEVE GOD WAS TELLING
ME HE WAS A BLESSING BECAUSE
HE WAS MY ONLY SON.
Reporter: WHEN DWAYNE
WAS ONLY FOUR MONTHS OLD,
SHE AND HIS FATHER
SEPARATED.
THAT'S WHEN JOLINDA STARTED
DEALING DRUGS TO SUPPORT HER
DRUG HABIT.
NOW I'M MEETING UP WITH
THESE PEOPLE INTO THESE
DRUGS.
THE FIRST TIME I SAW
SOMEBODY WHO SHOT DOPE, IT
BLEW MY MIND.
Reporter: JOLINDA EVEN
INVITED PEOPLE INTO HER HOME
TO DO DRUGS WHILE HER KIDS
WERE THERE.
I COULD LOOK AT THEM AND
SAYING, I'M SORRY.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.
I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT
OF THIS THINGS HERE.
Reporter: DWAYNE
EVENTUALLY WENT TO LIVE WITH
HIS FATHER, BUT HE ALWAYS
LOVED VISITING HIS MOM.
WHEN THEY WERE TOGETHER,
THEY WEN SHE TOOK HIM TO
PLAY BASKETBALL WITH HIS
FRIENDS.
SO THIS IS THE SPOT WHERE
DWAYNE PLAYED BASKETBALL.
THAT'S THE VERY SPOT.
I WOULD BE SO PROUD LOOKING
AT MY BOY.
HE WOULD START PLAYING HIS
LITTLE BALL.
I WAS THE CHEERLEADER.
I WOULD BE ON THE SIDE,
YAY!
YAY!
Reporter: WAS HE GOOD?
HE WAS VERY GOOD.
I'M HIS MOTHER, I MIGHT BE A
LITTLE PREJUDICE, BUT I
THINK HE WAS.
Reporter: BUT AS SOON
AS HER SON LEFT, SHE FELL
INTO HER OLD DRUG HABITS.
COCAINE AND ANY OTHER DRUGS
SHE COULD FIND.
SHE REMEMBERS THE DAY SHE
SHOOTED UP AND NEARLY DIED.
I WAS PUTTING IT IN
THERE, I HEARD A PERSON
SAID, STOP!
I SAID WHAT HAVE I JUST PUT
IN MY ARM?
CALL THE AMBULANCE NOW!
THE EFFECT OF THE ATTACK
DIDN'T HAPPEN TO ME UNTIL I
WAS IN THE HOSPITAL.
AND I STARTED HALLUCINATING
WHEN I WAS THERE.
AND THERE WAS A LADY IN
THERE.
SHE WAS SUCH A GOOD LADY,
AND SHE STARTED TALKING TO
ME.
AND SHE SAID, BABY, WHY ARE
YOU DOING THIS TO YOURSELF?
AND IT WAS BY THE GRACE OF
GOD THAT I CAME OUT OF
THAT.
Reporter: JOLINDA'S
DRUG ADDICTION CONTINUED
UNTIL 1994, WHEN SHE WAS
ARRESTED FOR POSSESSION OF
CRACK COCAINE WITH THE
INTENT TO SELL.
SHE WILL NEVER FORGET THE
LOOK ON YOUNG DWAYNE WHEN HE
CAME TO VISIT HER IN JAIL.
I SEEN THE LOOK ON HIS
FACE, LIKE, WHY IS MY MAMA
BEHIND THERE?
HE DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS
GOING ON.
I REMEMBER SAYING, MAMA
LOVES YOU.
I SAID, WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE
GIRL?
AND HE SAID, YOU ARE, MA.
BUT HE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND.
HE DID NOT UNDERSTAND WHY I
WAS BEHIND THAT GLASS, AND I
WAS MAD.
I WAS SO ANGRY.
AND I WENT UPSTAIRS IN MY
ROOM.
AND I FELL ON MY KNEES AND I
ASKED GOD, PLEASE TAKE CARE
OF HIM.
AND I ASKED GOD TO FORGIVE
ME FOR ALLOWING -- I'M CLEAN
NOW, I'M IN MY RIGHT MIND.
SO FORGIVE ME, FATHER GOD,
FOR BRINGING IT TO THIS
BOY.
Reporter: FOUR YEARS
LATER, ON A WORK PROGRAM,
SHE DECIDED TO RUN.
ONE DAY HER DAUGHTER, DEANNA
FOUND HER HERE.
TELL ME THE SIGHTS AND THE
SMELL THAT YOU EXPERIENCED
AS YOU WALKED IN THIS
ABANDONED BUILDING.
OH, MY GOSH.
JUST ABANDONMENT.
IT WAS A HORRIBLE SMELL.
IT WAS FREEZING COLD IN
THERE.
ICICLES EVERYWHERE.
THE SMELL OF POOP AND
FECES -- YOU KNOW, IT WAS AN
ABANDONED BUILDING.
NOTHING WORKING IN THERE.
BUT THEY WERE FINDING A WAY
TO LIVE.
Reporter: SO AS YOU'RE
WALKING INTO THIS BUILDING,
WERE YOU ANGRY?
WERE YOU UPSET?
NO.
I WAS MORE OR LESS IN PAIN,
HURTING FOR MY MOTHER.
BEING A CHILD, YOU GO
THROUGH SO MUCH THINKING
ABOUT WHERE YOUR MOTHER IS.
Reporter: SOON AFTER
THAT RESCUE, JOLINDA SAYS
SOMETHING PROMPTED HER TO GO
TO CHURCH.
OVER THE NEXT TWO MONTHS, A
MIRACLE HAPPENED.
I GOT WANDERE WEANED OFF
OF HEROIN AND ALCOHOL IN
THREE DAYS.
IT WAS OVER IN THE MONTH OF
OCTOBER.
HE TOOK CIGARETTES AWAY FROM
ME IN THE MONTH OF
NOVEMBER.
IN THE MONTH OF DECEMBER, HE
CAME AND SPOKE TO ME AND
SAID YOU'RE GOING TO CHECK
YOURSELF IN.
Reporter: JOLINDA
RETURNED TO PRISON TO FINISH
HER SENTENCE.
AND SHE RECEIVED AN
ENCOURAGING LETTER FROM
DWAYNE.
HE SAID, I'M YOUR HERO?
YOU ARE MY HERO.
I SAID, COME ON WITH IT, I'M
GOING TO DO THIS HERE.
BECAUSE WHEN I LEAVE HERE,
IT'S GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT.
I'M GOING TO GET MY FAMILY
BACK.
Reporter: SHE BECAME A
CHRISTIAN IN JAIL AND BEGAN
TO READ AND STUDY THE
BIBLE.
HE HAD ME CONFRONT ALL OF
THE THINGS I DID.
I CRIED LIKE A BABY.
I KEPT TELLING HIM, I'M
SORRY.
I'M SORRY.
FORGIVE ME, LORD, I'M
SORRY.
THE CLEANSING KEPT GOING AND
GOING AND GOING, UNTIL THE
HEALING TOOK EFFECT.
AND I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR
ONE DAY, AND I FORGAVE ME.
AND HOW I KNEW IS WHEN HE
SENT ME OUT AND I WAS ABLE
TO LOOK AT MY CHILDREN.
AND I DIDN'T FEEL THAT HEAVY
WEIGHT NO MORE.
I REALLY ACTUALLY FELT LIAR
LOVTHEIR LOVE BECAUSE
UNFORGIVENESS STOPPED THE
LOVE.
Reporter: SHE WAS
RELEASED IN 2009, AND SHE
BECAUSE RELEASED FROM JAIL.
AND ONE OF THE FIRST THINGS
SHE DID WAS WATCH DWAYNE WIN
THE FINAL FOUR.
I'M HERE AND I'M, LIKE,
THIS IS MY SON.
THIS IS THE ONE THE LORD
CALLED BLESSING.
I WAS SO PROUD OF HIM THAT
DAY.
Reporter: AND GOD WAS
DOING SOMETHING IN JOLINDA,
TOO.
PREPARING HER TO PASTOR HER
OWN CHURCH IN THE SOUTH SIDE
OF CHICAGO, WHERE SHE GREW
UP.
YOU BETTER GET ON DOWN
HERE NOW AND ASK GOD TO
CHANGE YOU.
Reporter: SHE HAS BEEN
DRUG AND ALCOHOL-FREE FOR
THE PAST 10 YEARS.
AND SHE HAS WRITTEN A BOOK
OF PRAYERS SHE WROTE TO GOD
WHILE SHE WAS IN JAIL.
HER SON WAS SO AMAZED BY THE
CHANGES
IN HIS
MOM, HE
BOUGHT HER A $2 MILLION
CHURCH BUILDING.
WHEN PEOPLE SAY
RAGS-TO-RICHES -- NOT MONEY
RAGS-TO-RICHES, BUT SHE HAS
BEEN RAGS-TO-RICHES IN
LIFE.
PEOPLE THINK WHAT I'VE DONE
IN LIFE HAS BEEN
MIRACULOUS?
NO, NO.
THIS IS MIRACULOUS.
Reporter: JOLINDA HAS
RECONCILED WITH HER
CHILDREN, AND SHE MAKES SURE
SHE IS IN THE STANDS TO
CHEER DWAYNE ON IN EVERY ONE
OF HIS NBA GAMES.
YOU CAN BELIEVE THE BIBLE
IS TRUE.
HE HAS RESTORED MY
RELATIONSHIP AS A FAMILY.
I HAVE SEVEN GRANDCHIDS NOW,
AND ONE ON THE WAY.
OH, MY GOD, IT IS MAD WHAT'S
GOING ON IN MY LIFE.
THERE IS A LIGHT THAT
SHINES.
AND IF YOU FOLLOW THAT
LIGHT, IT WILL TAKE YOU
THROUGH.
YOU'VE GOT TO STAND UP, AND
YOU'VE GOT TO RISE, AND
YOU'VE GOT TO BELIEVE BY
FAITH THAT HE CAN BRING YOU
THROUGH, JUST LIKE HE DID
ME.
Pat: HOW FAR DOWN CAN
YOU GO?
AND FALL AWAY FROM GOD?
THE ANSWER IS THERE IS NO
PLACE.
THERE IS NO DEPTH THAT YOU
CAN CAN FALL TO WHERE GOD
ISN'T THERE.
AND JOLINDA FOUND IT.
SHE FOUND AN ANSWER.
YOU KNOW SOMETHING?
GOD HAS AN ANSWER TO YOU.
THIS DAY CAN BE THE DAY THAT
YOU FIND HOPE.
YOU SEE, GOD COULDN'T LOVE
ME, I'M STRUNG OUT ON
DRUGS.
GOD COULDN'T LOVE ME, I'VE
BEEN UNFAITHFUL TO MY
SPOUSE.
GOD COULDN'T LOVE ME, I'VE
STOLEN FROM MY EMPLOYER.
GOD COULDN'T LOVE ME -- THE
ANSWER IS HE LOVES YOU!
AND HE WANTS TO REDEEM YOU.
HE WON'T NECESSARILY LIFTER
LIFT FROM YOU THE PENALTY OF
SOME OF YOUR ACTIONS.
JOLINDA SERVED HER JAIL
TIMES.
HE DIDN'T MIRACULOUSLY LIFT
HER OUT OF JAIL, BUT GOD
TOOK AWAY FROM HER THE CURSE
THAT DESCENDED ON HER.
DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE?
JESUS CHRIST DIED SO YOU CAN
BE FREE.
SO THE CHAINS CAN CAN FALL
OFF OF YOU.
DO YOU WANT THAT BLESSING?
DO YOU WANT TO BE FREE?
DO YOU WANT TO HAVE HOPE AND
JOY IN YOUR LIFE?
IF YOU DO, I WANT YOU TO
PRAY WITH ME.
PRAY RIGHT NOW.
DON'T BE ASHAMED.
BOW YOUR HEAD AND PRAY.
SAY THESE WORDS.
DO IT.
DO IT RIGHT NOW.
BOW YOUR HEAD.
THESE WORDS: JESUS -- THAT'S
RIGHT, SAY IT.
JESUS, YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEEN
IN MY HEART.
YOU KNOW WHAT I'VE DONE.
YOU KNOW EVERYTHING THAT IS
GOING ON IN ALL OF MY LIFE.
AND I BRING IT ALL TO YOU.
AND I CONFESS TO YOU THAT I
AM A SINNER.
BUT, LORD, YOU KNEW IT
ANYHOW.
AND I ASK YOU TO FORGIVE
ME.
I ASK YOU TO CLEANSE ME.
I ASK YOU TO FILL ME WITH
YOUR HOLY SPIRIT.
AND FROM THIS MOMENT ON, I
WILL SERVE YOU AND I WILL
LIVE FOR YOU.
I THANK YOU THAT YOU'VE
HEARD MY PRAYER.
I THANK YOU THAT YOU'VE
FORGIVEN ME AND GIVEN ME A
NEW LIFE.
THANK YOU, LORD.
FOR THOSE WHO PRAYED WITH ME
JUST THEN, I WANT TO PRAY
FOR YOU.
FATHER, MAY THE ANOINTING OF
THE HOLY SPIRIT TOUCH THEM
NOW IN JESUS' NAME.
TOUCH THEM.
AMEN.
IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, I
WANT YOU TO MOVE FORWARD.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO BE
STATIC.
YOU'RE GOING TO MOVE
FORWARD.
THERE IS A NEW LIFE IN GOD
THAT IS WONDERFUL.
AND HERE IS SOMETHING THAT
WILL HELP YOU.
I'LL GIVE IT TO YOU FREE.
IT'S CALLED "A NEW DAY."
IT'S A C.D., A COMPACT DISK,
AND A LITTLE BOOKLET.
AND IT TALKS ABOUT WHAT
HAPPENS NEXT.
YOU'VE BEEN BORN AGAIN.
YOU'RE A NEW CREATURE IN
CHRIST.
WHAT DOES IT MEAN?
I'LL GIVE THIS TO YOU.
JUST CALL IN.
IT IS ABSOLUTELY FREE.
IT IS A TOLL-FREE NUMBER.
YOU CAN PICK UP THE PHONE
AND CALL IN.
IF YOU DON'T WANT TO GIVE US
YOUR NAME, THAT'S FINE.
BUT YOU NEED TO CALL IN.
SAY, I PRAYED WITH PAT AND
TODAY IS THE DAY THAT I'VE
BEEN SET FREE.
IT'S 1-800-759-0700.
1-800-759-0700.
SOMEBODY IS HERE WHO LOVES
YOU AND IS WAITING TO HEAR
THE GOOD NEWS.

I'M READY.

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING

THANK YOU.
Terry: NEW

OCEAN."
WHEN YOU BUY ONE,
YOU GET
A
SECOND ONE TO GIVE AWAY.
HOW GREAT IS THAT?
IT IS AVAILABLE NEXT WEEK ON
FEBRUARY 26, WHEREVER MUSIC

IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE
INFORMATION ON THEIR WINTER

WE'RE GOING TO GO TO BREAK,

WE SWING INTO THAT?
IT'S GREAT TO HAVE YOU

* I'M COMING ALIVE WITH
YOU *
* I'M COMING ALIVE WITH
YOU *
* I'M COMING AWAY WITH
YOU *
Terry: WELL, YOU KNOW
WE LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU,
AND SO WE WANT TO TAKE SOME
TIME TO ANSWER E-MAIL
QUESTIONS.
Pat: NEW SONG, I'M
JIVING AWAY.
THEY ARE GOOD, AREN'T THEY?
THE NUMBER ONE CHRISTIAN
GROUP.
Terry: YES, AND THEY'VE
GOT THIS WONDERFUL WINTER
JAM TOUR THEY DO, AND PEOPLE
ARE REALLY MOVED BY THEIR
MUSIC.
SO IT IS A BLESSING.
Pat: IT IS GREAT.
OKAY.
QUESTIONS.
Terry: THIS IS MIGUEL
WHO SAYS, "I'VE BEEN TRYING
TO STOP WATCHING
PORNOGRAPHY, BUT IT SEEMS
THE MORE I TRY NOT TO WATCH,
THE MORE I WATCH.
WHAT CAN I DO?
EVERYTHING SEEMS LIKE IT
TRIGGERS ME."
Pat: MIGUEL, THE WORD
ABOUT STOPPING A HABIT IS,
ONCE AGAIN, 21 DAYS.
WHATEVER IT IS YOU DO, DON'T
STOP DOING IT -- YOU DON'T
LOOK AT IT FOR 21 DAYS.
THE MORE YOU FOCUS ON THE
EVIL, THE EVIL WILL CAPTURE
YOU.
YOU WANT TO FOCUS ON THE
GOOD.
YOU WANT A REVE REVELATION
OF JESUS.
YOU WANT TO READ THE BIBLE
AND THINK ABOUT JESUS.
AND THEN YOU WANT TO GO OUT
TO WHERE THE POOR ARE, THE
NEEDY AND SUFFERING, AND
HELP THEM.
GO OUT TO SOME HOMELESS
SHELTER, TO A PLACE WHERE
THERE ARE PEOPLE SUFFERING.
IF YOU SIT HOME AND YOU'VE
GOT A TV THERE AND YOU'VE
GOT AN INTERNET CONNECTION
THERE, YOU'RE GOING TO GET
TO THAT PORN WHETHER YOU
LIKE IT OR NOT.
BUT IF YOU'RE FOCUSED ON THE
SUFFERING OF OTHERS, ON THE
PLIGHT OF OTHERS, AND THEN
YOU'RE FOCUSING ON JESUS --
YOU'VE GOT TO TURN YOUR MIND
AWAY FROM RESISTING THE EVIL
TO WELCOMING THE GOOD.
OTHERWISE THE EVIL IS GOING
TO CONSTANTLY CAPTURE YOU.
Terry: THAT'S WHY T.L.
ASPIRIN WAS TALKING ABOUT
EARLIER, IT WAS DWEE
PRESSION.
I WAS -- DEPRESSION.
Pat: YOU HAVE TO FOCUS
AND CONTROL YOUR MIND,
CAPTURE YOUR THOUGHTS.
Terry: THIS IS A VIEWER
WHO SAYS, "LATELY I'VE BEEN
CONFUSED ABOUT HOW GOD VIEWS
WEALTH.
I READ IN THE BIBLE WHERE
GOD WANTS US TO ENJOY
WEALTH, AND HE EVEN SAYS
THERE ARE MANY MANSIONS IN
HEAVEN.
BUT I HAVE READ IN MATTHEW
HOW GOD WANTS US TO GIVE UP
EVERYTHING AND FOLLOW HIM.
CAN WE HAVE EARTHLY RICHES
AS LONG AS WE AREN'T
IDOLIZING THEM AND STILL BE
LEGITIMATE DISCIPLES OF
CHRIST?"
Pat: YOU CERTAINLY
CAN.
IT IS THE LOVE OF MONEY THAT
IS THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL.
NOT MONEY.
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH
HAVING WEALTH.
THE BIBLE SAYS IF YOU DO
CERTAIN THINGS YOU WILL HAVE
WEALTH.
YOU KNOW, THE REWARD OF
HUMILITY IS THE FEAR OF THE
WARD AND RICHES AND HONOR IN
LIFE.
IT IS PART OF THE HUMILITY
BEFORE THE LORD.
BUT IT INVOLVES SACRIFICE,
HARD WORK, INTELLIGENT
INVESTING, AND SO FORTH.
BUT IF YOU'LL LIVE A LIFE
ALONG THE WAY, GOD WILL
REWARD YOU.
BUT -- YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE
STEVE JOBS, FOR EXAMPLE, HE
DIDN'T SET OUT TO SAY, HOW
CAN I BECOME A BILLIONAIRE.
HE SET OUT SAYING, HOW CAN I
MAKE A DEVICE THAT WILL
ENABLE PEOPLE TO ENJOY THE
COMPUTER.
I'M SURE HENRY FORD DIDN'T
START OUT TO BE A
BILLIONAIRE.
HE WANTED TO INVENT A CAR
THAT WILL HELP PEOPLE.
IF YOU SAVE YOUR MONEY, THE
WEALTH WILL COME.
BUT WEALTH, PER SE -- BY THE
WAY, THAT IS A
MISTRANSLATIONS.
IN MY FATHER'S HOUSE THERE
ARE MANY DWELLING PLACES,
NOT NECESSARILY MANSIONS.
Terry: THIS IS BREA WHO
SAYS, "I'M CURRENTLY A LOCAL
TELEVISION NEWS REPORTER,
BUT OVER OF THE PAST YEAR I
FELT COMPELLED TO DO
SOMETHING IN MY LIFE THAT
WILL HAVE AN ETERNAL IMPACT
IN OTHER PEOPLE'S LIVES.
I'VE FELT GOD CALL ME TO
MISSIONARY WORK.
HOW CAN I GO ABOUT MAKING
THE TRANSITION FROM BEING A
NEWS REPORTER TO BEING IN
FULL-TIME MINISTRY?"
Pat: WHAT ARE YOU GOOD
AT?
DO WHAT YOU ARE GOOD AT.
GOD HAS GIFTED YOU IN A
PARTICULAR WAY.
USE THOSE GIFTS AND
TALENTS.
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SERVE GOD
IN TELEVISION NOOS NEWS IS
UNBELIEVABLE.
IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT HERE IN
AMERICA, THERE IS
OPPORTUNITY -- FOR EXAMPLE,
WE HAVE A DEPARTMENT THAT IS
RELATING WHAT WE'RE DOING
BUT LIKE PETER DART AND
CHRISTINE DART AND THEIR
SON, THEY'RE FABULOUS NEWS
PEOPLE.
BUT THEY KNOW HOW TO
COMMUNICATE THE THINGS OF
GOD.
SO USE THE GIFTS THAT GOD
HAS GIVEN YOU, AND THEN HOW
DO YOU DO IT?
FIND OUT THOSE MINISTRIES
THAT COULD USE SOMETHING
THAT YOU'RE DOING.
BUT DON'T JUST TRY TO HAVE
SOME RADICAL SHIFT, LIKE,
OKAY, I'M NOW ON TELEVISION
NEWS, AND NOW I'M GOING TO
WEAR A SHIRT AND GO PREACH.
GOD HAS GIVEN YOU GIFTS.
USE THOSE GIFTS IN HIS
SERVICE, AND LOOK FOR
OPPORTUNITIES TO USE WHAT
YOU ARE GOOD AT.
Terry: TINA SAYS, "I
UNDERSTAND TIME IS NOT A
FACTOR WHEN YOU GIVE A WORD
OF KNOWLEDGE FOR VIEWERS.
THAT A PERSON CAN RECEIVE
HEALING EVEN DURING A
RECORDED SHOW.
IS IT SAFE TO SAY THAT THE
WORD OF KNOWLEDGE GIVEN CAN
BE MEANT FOR MORE THAN ONE
VIEWER?"
Pat: WITHOUT QUESTION.
LOOK AT THE BIBLE.
THE BIBLE WAS WRITTEN AT ONE
POINT IN TIME.
THE LETTER TO THE
PHILLIPIANS WAS WRITTEN IN
FILIPI.
THEY WERE GIVEN INSTRUCTION
ON HOW TO BEHAVE, BUT THOSE
PRINCIPLES ARE SO TIMELESS,
THEY HAVE BEEN
ININCORPORATED INTO A BOOK.
IT HAS BLESSED HUNDREDS AND
HUNDREDS AND MILLIONS OF
PEOPLE.
SO THE WORD OF GOD IS
TIMELESS.
ALL RIGHT.
Terry: THIS IS FROM
JEFFREY WHO SAYS, "THE BIBLE
SAYS WE'RE TO WORSHIP ONLY
THE ONE, TRUE GOD.
WHY DO SOME PEOPLE ALSO PRAY
TO JESUS?"
Pat: REMEMBER WHAT
JESUS SAID TO A GUY NAMED
DOUBTING THOMAS?
HE SAID, IF YOU'VE SEEN ME,
YOU'VE SEEN THE FATHER.
JESUS IS GOD.
THAT'S THE WHOLE THING ABOUT
THE TRINITY.
IT IS A MYSTERY, WHICH I
DON'T HAVE TIME TO GO INTO
NOW.
WE ARE NOT WORSHIPPING THREE
GODS.
THERE IS ONE GOD, FATHER,
SON, AND HOLY SPIRIT.
TOMORROW, R.C. SPROLE SHARES
THE ECONOMICS FOR EVERYBODY,
AND TODAY WE LEAVE YOU WITH
THESE WORDS FROM
PHILLIPIANS: "FOR IT IS GOD
WHO WORKS IN YOU TO WILL AND
TO ACT IN ORDER TO FULFILL
HIS GOOD PURPOSE."
AND REMEMBER, TELEPHONES ARE
AVAILABLE.
WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU.
1-800-759-0700.
AND WE'LL LOOK FORWARD TO
SEEING YOU TOMORROW ON "THE
700 CLUB."
BYE-BYE.
