REMEMBER ME.
Lee: INSIDE THE HISTORY
CHANNEL'S NEWEST MINI
SERIES.
WE'RE TELLING A STORY
THAT PEOPLE LIVE BY.
Lee: BASED ON THE
BEST-SELLING BOOK OF ALL
TIME.
WE SIT DOWN WITH PRODUCERS
MARK BERNETT AND ROMA
DOWNING.
IT IS HUMAN, IT IS
CONNECTED, IT IS BEAUTIFUL.
Lee: AND THEY TELL US
HOW THEY BROUGHT THE BIBLE
TO LIFE, TODAY ON "THE 700
CLUB."
THE PROJECT WAS MEANT TO
GLORIFY GOD.
*
[APPLAUSE]
Pat: WELCOME TO "THE
700 CLUB."
AND, LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
ACCORDING TO THE WHITE HOUSE
TODAY THE PLANES WOULD FALL
FROM THE AIR, MARS WOULD
COME CLOSER TO EARTH, THE
MARTIANS WOULD LAND AND
BEGIN THEIR ATTACK, DREAD
DISEASE WOULD SPREAD
THROUGHOUT THE LAND, AND
MILLIONS OF BABIES WOULD
DIE.
THE COUNTRY WOULD BE OVERRUN
BY ILLEGAL ALIENS, CRIME
WOULD BE ON THE INCREASE --
Terry: AND HERE WE ALL
ARE.
Pat: AND NOTHING HAS
HAPPENED.
AND THE MEDIA IS LAUGHING
NOW AT THE PRESIDENT FOR
OVERSTATING THIS STUFF.
AND, OF COURSE, YOU KNOW,
THIS IS JUST THE FIRST DAY.
WE'LL SEE WHAT HAPPENS.
Terry: THAT'S RIGHT.
Pat: BUT THEOR THEY'RE
EARNESTLY HOPING THE SKY
WILL FALL.
I'M STARTING THIS PROGRAM.
YESTERDAY WE HAD AN
ALLIGATOR ON THIS PROGRAM.
Terry: WE DID.
Pat: A FEATURED
ALLIGATOR.
AND YOU PETTED THE
ALLIGATOR.
Terry: I DID PET THE
ALLIGATOR.
Pat: DO YOU WANT A PET
ALLIGATOR?
Terry: NO, I DON'T.
Pat: THE GATOR BOY, A
WONDERFUL GUY.
I WANT TO SHOW YOU MY PET.
ARE YOU READY?
Terry: UH-HUH.
Pat: HE IS A HORSE, AND
HIS NAME IS UFANO.
THIS IS MY PET.
Terry: WOW, LOOK AT
HIM.
Pat: ISN'T HE
BEAUTIFUL?
Terry: HE IS
BEAUTIFUL.
Pat: 17 AND THREE HANDS
FROM PORTUGAL.
THIS IS NOT AN ALLIGATOR.
THIS IS A PORTUGUESE HORSE.
Terry: HE IS
BEAUTIFUL.
HOW OLD IS HE?
Pat: HE IS ABOUT 11.
HER IS A LUCITANO.
Terry: I KNOW YOU LOVE
RIDING HIM.
Pat: I LOVE HIM.
BUT HE IS SO GENTLE AND SO
NICE.
I WAS DOING SOME TRICK
THINGS WITH HIM YESTERDAY,
AND HE IS AMAZING.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, IF
THAT DOESN'T MAKE YOU WANT
TO TRADE IN YOUR
ALLIGATOR --
Terry: OR AT LEAST KEEP
HIM AWAY FROM THE BARN.
Pat: TERRY WILL ACCEPT
ALL USED ALLIGATORS,.
Terry: OH, NO YOU
DONE.
DO NOW SEND THOSE.
AS PAT MENTIONED EARLIER,
PRESIDENT OBAMA HAS BEEN
WARNING OF TERRIBLE
CONSEQUENCES IF THESE CUTS
THAT THEY'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT TOOK PLACE.
SOME CALLED IT JUST SCARE
TACTICS, AND OTHERS SAY IF
YOU REALLY WANT TO CUT
GOVERNMENT SPENDING, THERE
ARE PLENTY OF PLACES TO
LOOK.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM HAS THE
STORY.
Reporter: FOR WEEKS
NOW, OBAMA ADMINISTRATION
OFFICIALS HAVE WARNED
FEDERAL SPENDING CUTS WOULD
SPELL DISASTER, LIKE AIRPORT
SECURITY.
YOU'RE GOING TO SEE THOSE
LINES REALLY GROW.
Reporter: EDUCATION
SECRETARY ARNIE DUNCAN
CLAIMED TEACHERS WERE
ALREADY GETTING FIRED.
OF COURSE THE "WASHINGTON
POST" THAT TO BE WRONG, AND
DUNCAN SAU SOFTENED HIS
WORDING.
TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
TEACHERS WILL POTENTIALLY
LOSE THEIR JOB.
Reporter: AND THE
PRESIDENT IS LEADING THE
PACK, PLAYING THE FEAR CARD
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
President Obama: THIS
IS GOING TO BE A BIG HIT ON
THE ECONOMY.
Reporter: MANY
CONSERVATIVES SAY THE WHITE
HOUSE IS OVERSTATING THE
CASE.
WE DON'T HAVE A REVENUE
PROBLEM.
PROBLEM.
WE HAVE A SPENDING PROBLEM.
AMERICA IS GOING TO WAKE
UP AND NOTICE NO DIFFERENCE
IN THE CUTS, SO NOW HE IS
SAYING, IT MIGHT TAKE A
MONTH BEFORE YOU NOTICE.
HE IS BUYING TIME BECAUSE HE
KNOWS THE CUTS ARE PROBABLY
GOING INTO EFFECT, AND NO
ONE IS GOING TO NOTICE.
Reporter: AND CRITICS
SAY IF WASHINGTON REALLY
WANTS TO CUT SPENDING, THERE
ARE PLENTY OF PLACES TO DO
IT.
A STUDY BY THE GENERAL
ACCOUNTING OFFICE IN 2011
FOUND WASHINGTON WASTES
BETWEEN $100 BILLION AND
$$200 BILLION BECAUSE SO
MANY PROGRAMS ARE SET UP
THAT ARE REALLY BASICALLY
DOING THE SAME THING FROM
DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE
GOVERNMENT.
CUTTING COULD HELP TRIM THIS
KIND OF WASTE.
MULTIPLE AGENCIES THAT
OVERSEE FOOD PROGRAMS, AND
20 PROBLEMS THAT HELP THE
HOMELESS.
SPENDING NEARLY $
$1.7 BILLION IN 2010 TO
MAINTAIN 77,000 UNDERUSED OR
UNUSED BUILDINGS.
THE FAILED SOLAR CELL
MANUFACTURING COMPANY
SOLINDRA COST $528 MILLION.
THE OFFICIALS FROM THE
DEPARTMENT OF AGRICULTURE
AND ENERGY APPROVING A
$76 MILLION GRANT FOR A
WOODS ETHANOL PLANT IN
WOODS, GEORGIA, DESPITE
CONCERNS ABOUT IT.
THE PLANT CLOSED IN A YEAR
WITHOUT PRODUCING ANY
ETHANOL.
THE DEPARTMENT OF
AGRICULTURE SPENT $2 MILLION
ON AN INTERN PROGRAM THAT
HIRED ONLY ONE FULL-TIME
INTERN.
AND THEY AWARDED A GRANT OF
$41,000 TO FUND A CHINESE
STUDY ON SWINE MANURE.
ALL OF THAT MONEY WASHINGTON
BORROWS HURTS THE ECONOMY.
EVERY PENNY THE
GOVERNMENT BORROWS IS A
PENNY THE PRIVATE SECTOR
CAN'T BORROW TO GROW
BUSINESSES, HIRE PEOPLE, AND
ADD JOBS.
Reporter: THE
$85 BILLION IN CUTS GO INTO
EFFECT AT MIDNIGHT TONIGHT.
CONGRESS HAS ALREADY GONE
HOME FOR THE WEEKEND, BUT
ITS LEADERS ARE MEETING AT
THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY.
OFFICIALS SAY THE PRESIDENT
IS STILL HOPEFUL SOMETHING
CAN BE WORKED OUT.
EPHRAIM GRAHAM, CBN NEWS.
Pat: IT IS INCREDIBLE,
BUT HE KEEPS SAYING IN ORDER
TO GET A BALANCED APPROACH,
YOU'VE GOT TO RAISE TAXES,
RAISE TAXES.
AND THE REPUBLICANS ARE
HOLDING FIRM.
IF THEY HOLD FIRM, THEIR
BASE WILL BE WITH THEM.
IF THEY BREAK ON THIS ONE,
THEY'VE GOT DID A PROBLEM.
ANOTHER WASHINGTON FIGURE
SAYS HE WAS THREATENED BY
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION.
AND THIS PARTICULAR
GENTLEMEN HAPPENED TO BE A
KEY PLAYER IN THE PREVIOUS
DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION.
WENDY GRIFFITH HAS THAT
STORY FROM THE CBN NEWS
ROOM.
Wendy: THAT'S RIGHT,
PAT.
LANI DAVIS SAYS THE
ADMINISTRATION PUT PRESSURE
ON THE WASHINGTON TIMES TO
STOP RUNNING HIS COLUMNS.
DAVIS IS A LONG-TIME
SUPPORTER OF FORMER
PRESIDENT BILL CLINTON AND
AN OBAMA SUPPORTER, BUT
APPARENTLY SOMETHING HE
WROTE UPSET THE WHITE
HOUSE.
HE TOLD WASHINGTON RADIO
STATION WMAL, THAT AN OBAMA
OFFICIAL ONCE CONTACTED AN
EDITOR AT THE TIMES.
THE OFFICIAL TOLD THE
EDITOR, QUOTE,"IF HE
CONTINUED TO RUN MY COLUMNS,
HE WOULD LOSE OR HIS
REPORTERS WOULD LOSE THEIR
WHITE HOUSE CREDENTIALS."
DAVIS SAYS HE DIDN'T KNOW
WHY THE CALL WAS MADE, AND
EARLIER THIS WEEK BOB
WOODRUFF SAID AN OBAMA
OFFICIAL CRITICIZED HIM FOR
HIS REPORTING ON THE
PRESIDENT'S ROLE IN THE
SEQUESTER CRISIS.
PRESIDENT OBAMA WANTS THE.
Parker SUPREME COURT
WANTS THEM TO OVER TURN THE
MEASURE ON SAME-SEX
MARRIAGE.
OBAMA PERSONALLY SIGNED OFF
ON THE MOVE, MARKING THE
FIRST TIME A U.S. PRESIDENT
HAS URGED THE HIGH COURT TO
EXPAND THE RIGHT OF GAY AND
LESBIANS TO WED.
THE PRESIDENT ANNOUNCED
BEFORE THE ELECTION LAST
YEAR, HE NOW SUPPORTS
SAME-SEX MARRIAGE.
IN 2008, HE OPPOSED IT.
THE PRESIDENT CALLED HIS
CHANGE IN VIEWS, QUOTE,"AN
EVOLUTION."
MARRIAGE IS BETWEEN A MAN
AND A WOMAN.
President Obama: MY
FEELINGS ABOUT THIS ARE
CONSTANTLY EVOLVING.
OUR JOURNEY IS NOT COMPLETE
UNTIL OUR GAY BROTHERS AND
SISTERS ARE TREATED LIKE
ANYONE ELSE UNDER THE LAW.
Wendy: THE PRESIDENT
LAST YEAR HE BELIEVES THE
ISSUE SHOULD BE LEFT UP TO
THE TATE STATES TO DECIDE.
NOW THE SUPREME COURT COULD
DECIDE WHETHER TO REDEFINE
MARRIAGE FOR MANY OF THOSE
STATES.
THE CHICAGO BOARD OF
EDUCATION PASSED A NEW
POLICY IN WEDNESDAY, IT
MANDATES A SET AMOUNT OF
TIME BE SPENT ON SEX ED.
MOST START IN FIFTH GRADE.
CHICAGO HAS THE THIRD
LARGEST PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
IN THE COUNTRY.
PARENTS WILL BE ALLOWED TO
OPT THEIR CHILDREN OUT OF
THE SEX ED PROGRAM.
PAT, IS KINDERGARTEN TOO
EARLY TO TALK ABOUT THE
BIRDS AND THE BEES?
Pat: ARE YOU KIDDING?
THOSE LITTLE KIDS DON'T HAVE
A CLUE.
IT IS LIKE TRYING TO OPEN A
ROSEBUD BEFORE IT IS READY.
THEY'RE TOO YOUNG.
THIS IS ABSURD.
HERE YOU'VE GOT ONE OF THE
FAILING SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN
THE UNITED STATES -- I
UNDERSTAND THERE IS
SOMETHING IN EXCESS OF 60%
OF ALL OF THE CHICAGO
TEACHERS SEND THEIR CHILDREN
TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS BECAUSE
THEY DON'T WANT THEM TO BE
EXPOSED TO THE FAILING
SCHOOL SYSTEM UP THERE.
AND TO ADD THIS -- WHY DON'T
YOU TEACH THEM ABOUT HOW TO
READ AND WRITE AND COUNT AND
DO COMPUTERS INSTEAD OF
GETTING INTO SEX EDUCATION?
WHO NEEDS IT AT THAT AGE.
IT IS HORRIBLE.
THAT IS JUST ONE MORE OF THE
LIBERAL INITIATIVES TO FORCE
THEIR POINT OF VIEW.
YOU SEE, WE BELIEVE IN
AMERICA, IN FREEDOM, IN FREE
CHOICE, FREE ENTERPRISE,
FREEDOM.
BUT THE LIBERALS, THE
PROGRESSIVE, SO-CALLED, THEY
WANT TO ENFORCE THEIR POINT
OF VIEW.
THEY WANT PEOPLE ACCEPTING
WHAT THEY WANT.
AND IF PEOPLE WON'T ACCEPT
IT, THE RUSSIANS WERE
WILLING TO PUT THEM IN
GULOGS, AND THE CHINESE HAVE
BEEN WILLING TO PUT THEM IN
PRISON.
HERE IN AMERICA, THE
LIBERALS THINK THEY'VE GOT
THEM IN SCHOOL, AND THEY
WANT TO INDOCTRINATE THEM
AND FORCE THEM INTO A
MINDSET THAT IS CONTRARY TO
WHAT THEIR PARENTS BELIEVE.
Wendy: HERE IS SOME
GOOD NEWS, PAT: HOUSING
SALES ARE PICKING UP, AND
THE LOWEST MORTGAGE RATES IN
DECADES ARE THE KEY REASON
WHY.
> THE AVERAGE RIGHT ON A
30-YEAR MORTGAGE STANDS AT
3.51%, THAT IS CLOSE TO THE
RECORD OF 3.31% SET LAST
NOVEMBER.
THE ULTRA LOW RATES HAVE
ENCOURAGED MANY PEOPLE TO
REFINANCE, AND THAT OFTEN
LEADS TO LOWER MONTHLY
PAYMENTS AND MORE SPENDING
MONEY.
IN 1960, THE MOVIE "EXITOUS"
CAME OUT.
AS CHRIS MITCHELL TELLS US,
THOSE WORDS NOW HAVE A
PERMANENT HOME IN ISRAEL.
DISED
Reporter: THE ACADEMY
AWARD-WINNING SCORE
CONTAINED NO WORDS, BECAUSE
NO WORDS COULD SATISFY THE
COMPOSER, DIRECTOR, AND
PUBLISHER, UNTIL CHRISTMAS
1961.
I PUT THE NEEDLE ON THE
RECORD, AND I HEAR BOM, BOM,
BOM, BOM.
AND THE WORDS, "THIS LAND IS
MINE" CAME INTO MY MIND.
I SAID, THAT'S THE STORY,
THE WHOLE STORY OF EXODUS.
THE FIRST WORDS ARE,
"THIS LAND IS MINE" AND BY
THE TIME I GOT THOSE WORDS
WRITTEN, GOD GAVE ME THE
NEXT WORDS.
Reporter: THE WORDS
GAVE HOPE TO YOUNG BOYS,
LIKE SHIA BENAHULA.
WE GREW UP WITH THE
FEELING DURING THE
HOLOCAUST, OUR PEOPLE WERE
ABANDONED, BUT LISTENING TO
THIS SONG AND UNDERSTANDING
WE ARE NOT ALONE, THAT WAS
VERY SPECIAL FOR ME.
Reporter: YEARS LATER,
HE BECAME INTERNATIONAL
RELATIONS DIRECTOR AT
ISRAEL'S RENOWNED HOLOCAUST
MEMORIAL.
HE ASKED BOON FOR A COPY OF
THE WORDS TO EXODUS.
CONNECTING THOSE WORDS IS
THE STORY OF THE PEOPLE WHO
BUILT THIS COUNTRY, DID
SPITE WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM.
IT IS SOMETHING THAT WILL
GIVE THE MESSAGE TO FUTURE
GENERATIONS.
Reporter: FOR BOON, THE
MOMENT WAS PROFOUND.
FOR ME, THIS IS ONE OF
THE TWO OR THREE MOMENTS IN
MY LIFE I CONSIDER THE
REASON I'M ALIVE.
AND I THINK GOD'S PURPOSE
FOR ME TO BE HERE ON THE
EARTH.
Reporter: THE CHRISTMAS
CARD WILL BECOME PART OF HIS
PERMANENT COLLECTION.
DURING THE CEREMONY,
ORGANIZERS PLAYED A VERSION
OF EXODUS, SONG BY BOONE
YEARS AGO AT MESSADA.
* GOD GAVE HIS LAND TO ME
* THIS LAND IS MINE
* THIS LAND IS MINE
Reporter: CHRIS
MITCHELL, JERUSALEM.
*
Wendy: WOW, INCREDIBLE
STORY AND INCREDIBLE MOVIE.
Pat: IT WAS A GREAT
MOVIE.
IT BRINGS TEARS TO YOUR
EYES.
PAT IS A DEAR FRIEND AND HE
IS A WONDERFUL GUY.
WHAT A TRIBUTE.
WELL-DESERVED.
AND THAT COULD BECOME THE
THEME SONG OF ISRAEL,
PROBABLY IN A SENSE, IT HAS.
THIS LAND IS MINE.
GOD GAVE THIS LAND TO ME.
IT JUST CAME TO HIM, AND
THAT WAS INSPIRED BY THE
LORD.
Terry: BEAUTIFULLY
DONE.
BEAUTIFULLY DONE.
UP NEXT, CHILDREN WHO ARE
BEING SOLD AND TRADED FOR
SEX IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.
THEY COME IN THE CAR.
THEY ASK HOW MUCH IT IS.
I TELL THEM, AND THEY SAY IF
THEY WANT ME, AND IF THEY
WANT ME, THEY TAKE ME.
Terry: THE BATTLE TO
BEAT CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING
IN BRAZIL, AFTER THIS.
*
Pat: IN JUST A FEW
YEARS, THE WORLD'S EYES WILL
TURN TO BRAZIL AS THE NATION
WILL BE HOSTING ITS 2016
SUMMER OLYMPICS.
COUNTRIES THAT HOST THE
GAMES LOOK FORWARD TO THE
MONEY AND THE TOURISTS, AND,
OF COURSE, THE PUBLICITY.
BUT THERE IS A TRAGIC SIDE
ON THESE OLYMPICS AS WELL:
THE SEXUAL EXPLOITATION OF
CHILDREN.
OUR HEATHER CELLS TRAVELLED
TO BRAZIL TO BRING YOU THIS
STORY.
Reporter: IN RECENT
YEARS, GROWING NUMBERS OF
TOURISTS HAVE FLOCKED TO
NORTHEASTERN BRAZIL.
HERE THEY TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
THE REGION'S BEAUTIFUL
BEACHES, THE CLON COLONIAL
ARCHITECTURE AND IT'S
GIRLS.
CBN NEWS TRAVELLED TO BRAZIL
TO TAKE A CLOSER LOOK AT THE
CHILD SEX TRAFFICKING EP
DEM.
EPIDEMIC.
TAXI DRIVERS, HOTEL WORKERS
AND DRUG DEALERS FORM AN
UNDERGROUND NETWORK
CONNECTING SUPPLY AND
DEMAND.
AND EVERY WEEK, HIS AGENCY
RECEIVES FIVE TO SIX NEW
VICTIMS IN NEED OF HELP.
AFTER OUR INTERVIEW, WE
WALKED TO THE BEACH, ACROSS
FROM OUR HOTEL, AND HE
NOTICED CHILDREN FOR SALE
RIGHT IN FRONT OF US.
OUR TRANSLATOR APPROACHED A
YOUNG BOY, WORKING AS A
TRANSVESTITE, AND HE AGREED
TO TELL US HOW THE SYSTEM
WORKS.
THEY COME IN THE CAR.
THEY ASK HOW MUCH IT IS.
I TELL THEM, AND THEY SAY IF
THEY WANT ME.
AND IF THEY WANT ME, THEY
TAKE ME.
Reporter: LEAH USES THE
25 TO $50 PER TRICK TO BUY
CLOTHES AND FOOD FOR HIMSELF
AND HIS MOM.
HE TOLD US HE STARTED AT AGE
14.
HIS LIFE AND PAIN WAS
CLEAR.
I DON'T LIKE IT.
I HATE IT.
I JUST DO IT BECAUSE I NEED
IT.
Reporter: BRAZIL MAY
SOON OVERTAKE THAILAND AS
THE NUMBER ONE COUNTRY IN
TRAFFICKED CHILDREN.
THE UNITED NATIONS ESTIMATES
THAT MORE THAN A QUARTER
MILLION ARE SEXUALLY
EXPLOITED HERE.
MUCH OF IT HAPPENS IN THE
NORTHEAST REGION, WHERE
CHILD SEX TOURS ARRIVE FROM
EUROPE AND THE U.S.
WE SEE KIDS START AT AGE
12, 13, IT IS A WAY FOR THEM
TO HAVE AN INCOME, TO
RECEIVE MONEY EASILY.
Reporter: AS IF THE
PROBLEM OF CHILD SEX
TRAFFICKING WASN'T BAD
ENOUGH, THE WORST MAY BE YET
TO COME.
MANY FEAR THE WORLD CUP
GAMES, TO BE HELD IN THE
STADIUM BUILT BEHIND ME,
WILL BRING A FLOOD OF
TOURISTS NOT JUST FOR
SPORTS, BUT FOR CHILDREN.
WE ARE TRYING TO FIND A
WAY TO AVOID THIS.
Reporter: HE WORKS IN
CHILD SERVICES IN THE METRO
AREA OF HAFIFI.
HIS RESEARCH SUGGESTS KIDS
HERE ARE OWNER DANGER.
WHAT WE SEE BEFORE AND
AFTER THE WORLD CUP IS
TRAUMA IN THE COMMUNITIES.
Reporter: THOSE WHO
WORK WITH YOUTH HERE BELIEVE
MORE TOURISM MEANS MORE
CHILD EXPLOITATION.
THE PUBLIC OFFICIALS AND
NON-PROFITS ARE TEAMING UP
TO RAISE AWARENESS AND TRY
TO PREVENT A DISASTER.
THE SOCIAL WORKERS ARE
VERY CONCERNED ABOUT IT, SO
THEY'RE WORKING WITH
EDUCATIONAL MATERIALS IN THE
CITY AND GIVING WITHIN IN
THE SCHOOLS.
Reporter: AND MANY IN
THIS REGION RECOGNIZE A
LONG-TERM STRATEGY IS
ESSENTIAL TO WIPE OUT A
TRAGEDY THAT IS DEEPLY
EMBEDDED IN THE CULTURE.
POOR CHILDREN HERE TYPICALLY
GROW UP IN SMALL, CROWDED
HOMES, WHERE THEY SEE
SEXUALITY THAT SHOULD BE
PRIVATE, AND OFTEN FACE
ABUSE THEMSELVES.
THEY START EARLY TO SEE
SEX IN A DISTORTED WAY, SO
IT IS EASIER TO START IN
THIS KIND OF LIFE.
Reporter: DRUG DEALERS
ALSO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF KIDS
ADDICTED TO CRACK AND OTHER
ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES.
IT IS ALSO COMMON FOR
DESPERATELY POOR PARENTS TO
ENCOURAGE THEIR CHILDREN TO
SELL THEMSELVES.
THE MOMS -- SOMETIMES
THEY PUT THEIR CHILDREN IN
THIS SITUATION BECAUSE THEY
NEED HELP.
Reporter: IN THE CASE
OF SOFIA, A 15-YEAR-OLD WE
MET, HER PARENTS SIMPLY
LOOKED THE OTHER WAY.
SOFIA SAYS SHE STOPPED
BECAUSE SHE WANTS A BETTER
LIFE.
I REALIZED IT IS NOT
GOOD.
YOU CAN GET PREGNANT AND BE
UNABLE TO GO ON WITH YOUR
STUDIES AND GET A GOOD JOB.
Reporter: THE
U.S.-BASED MINISTRY
COMPASSION INTERNATIONAL IS
IN THE SEX TRAFFICKING FIGHT
FOR
THE LONG HAUL.
COMPASSION USES CHILD
SPONSORSHIPS TO FUND
MINISTE MINISTERIES ACROSS
THE NATION.
PASSION PARTNERS WITH LOCAL
CHURCHES TO TAKE CARE OF
CHILDREN'S PHYSICAL NEEDS.
AND IT EMPHASIZES ACADEMICS,
INCLUDING A SPECIAL
CURRICULUM THAT TARGETS
SPECIAL ABUSE.
AND COMPASSION EMPHASIZES
DECISION-MAKING FOR A
LIFETIME.
IT IS A TOUGH CONCEPT FOR SO
MANY CHILDREN, WHO'S
FAMILIES DESPERATELY NEED
HELP NOW.
BUT PREVENTION, VIA
ONE-CHILD SPONSESHIPS MAY BE
THE BEST WAY.
I BELIEVE THE BEST WAY TO
COMBAT EXPLOITATION IS THE
PREVENTION WE'RE DOING IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH
COMPASSION.
Reporter: AND FOR THAT
REASON, TUAREZ HAS BECOME A
REGULAR AT THIS PROJECT.
BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS WITH
KIDS IN THE HOPES OF HELPING
THEM TO REALIZE THEIR
DREAMS.
FOR THESE CHILDREN, IT IS
NOT TOO LATE.
AND IT MAY NOT BE TOO LATE
FOR LEAH.
AFTER OUR INTERVIEW, WE
PRAYED FOR HIM AND FOR HIS
DREAMS.
I WOULD LIKE TO GET
MARRIED WITH SOMEONE I'M IN
LOVE WITH AND QUIT DOING
WHAT I DO.
Reporter: LEAH TOLD US
HE WOULD LIKE TO BECOME A
NURSE, A TRUE MIRACLE,
PERHAPS, THAT ONE CHILD IN
SO MUCH PAIN WOULD DREAM OF
HELPING OTHERS.
REPORTING IN HAFIFI, BRAZIL,
HEATHER CELLS, CBN NEWS.
Pat: IT IS
HEARTBREAKING, LADIES AND
GENTLEMEN.
IT HAPPENS ALL AROUND THE
WORLD.
WE HAVE SO MANY CHILDREN.
IF YOU'VE BEEN TO BRAZIL,
AND SOME OF THESE ASIAN
COUNTRIES WHERE THERE IS
SUCH POVERTY,
HEART-WRENCHING POVERTY.
I DON'T THINK I'LL FORGET
THE CHILD I MET IN AN
ORPHANAGE WHEN I WAS IN
THAILAND, WHO ESCAPED FROM
BEING SOLD INTO SEX SLAVERY
IN BANGKOK.
AND THE WORD WAS FOR A
REFRIGERATOR OR A COLORED
TELEVISION SET, THAT THE
PARENTS WOULD SELL THEIR
DAUGHTER TO THESE SEX
TRAFFICKERS TO BE ABUSED AND
MISTREATED AND FILLED WITH
DISEASE AND WHO KNOWS WHAT
ELSE WOULD GO ON.
THEIR LIVES RUINED.
NO HOPE.
SO, FOLKS, WE NEED TO DO
SOMETHING.
REGENT UNIVERSITY IS DOING
SOMETHING ABOUT SEX
TRAFFICKING.
THEY HAVE COURSES AND A
PROGRAM ABOUT IT --
Terry: WE'RE ACTUALLY
STARTING A NEW CAMPAIGN WITH
THEY.
"ORPHANS' PROMISE," CBN
INTERNATIONAL AND REGENT
UNIVERSITY, AND IT'S GOING
TO BE CALLED THE BLUE FLAG
CAMPAIGN.
AND BRAZIL IS THE FIRST
FOCUS BECAUSE OF THE WORLD
CUP, AND THAT IS FOLLOWED
WITH THE OLYMPICS.
WE'RE WORKING WITH PEOPLE IN
POSITIONS OF AUTHORITY IN
CENTRAL AND SOUTH AMERICA.
REGENT WILL HAVE A WHOLE
CURRICULUM FOR PEOPLE WHO
WANT TO BE A PART OF THIS.
WE HOPE TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE, NOT JUST IN
BRAZIL, BUT THROUGHOUT THE
WORLD.
THIS HAS BECOME A HUGE
PROBLEM.
Pat: IT IS
HEARTBREAKING.
IN ISAIAH 58, WHICH IS THE
MANDATE FOR "OPERATION
BLESSING," YOU DELIVER THOSE
FROM CAPTIVITY.
YOU BREAK THE BONDS OF
OPPRESSION AND SET THE
CAPTIVES FREE.
THESE PEOPLE ARE SLAVES,
THEY'RE CAPTIVES, AND THEY
NEED TO BE FREED.
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, THAT'S
PART OF WHAT YOU'RE DOING,
AND WE APPRECIATE YOUR
HELP.
AND PRAYERS.
LET'S DO WHAT WE CAN FOR
THESE PRECIOUS CHILDREN.
THEY'RE MADE IN THE IMAGE OF
GOD.
WE NEED TO GLORIFY THAT FACT
AND NOT DESTROY IT.
TERRY?
Terry: COMING UP, A
TELEVISION EVENT THOUSANDS
OF YEARS IN THE MAKING.
WE'RE GOING TO GIVE YOU A
SNEAK PEEK AT THE EPIC MINI
SERIES, "THE BIBLE."
THAT'S NEXT.
Pat: FOR NEARLY 10
YEARS AND 200 EPISODES,
ACTRESS ROMA DOWNING STARRED
IN THE TV MINI SERIES -- IT
WAS A SERIES, IT WASN'T A
MINI SERIES -- CALLED
"TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL."
VERY, VERY POPULAR.
HER HUSBAND, MARK BARNETT,
IS A REALITY TV PRODUCER.
HE IS BEHIND "SURVIVOR,"
"THE APPRENTICE," "THE
VOICE," AND "SHARK TANK."
ON SUNDAY, THESE TWO WILL
COME TOGETHER TO UNVEIL WHAT
THEY ARE CALLING THEIR MOST
IMPORTANT PROJECT.
IT'S "THE BIBLE."
TAKE A LOOK.
*
REMEMBER ME.
BY DOING THIS, I'M GOING TO
THE FATHER, BUT I WILL
ALWAYS BE WITH YOU.
Reporter: HOLLYWOOD
COUPLE MARK BARNETT AND ROMA
DOWNING HAVE JOINED FORCES
WITH THE HISTORY CHANNEL TO
CREATE AN EPIC 10-HOUR MINI
SERIES CALLED "THE BIBLE."
WHEN YOU LOOK AT A PROJECT
OF THIS MAGNITUDE, HOW DO
YOU BOIL IT DOWN TO 10
HOURS.
IT TOOK US MANY YEARS,
AND WE GOT THE ADVICE OF
MANY THE THEOLOGICS.
GENESIS THROUGH REVELATION.
FROM THE MOMENT ADAM AND
EVE FELL FROM GRACE, WE HAVE
BEEN A PEOPLE WANTING TO GET
BACK IN CONNECTION WITH
GOD.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE THEMES
THAT WE FELT WE REALLY
WANTED TO SEE, THROUGH THOSE
OLD TESTAMENT CHARACTERS.
WE SEE EACH OF THEM
ATTEMPTING CONNECTION AND
FAILING.
ATTEMPTING CONNECTION AND
FAILING.
AND GOD SO LOVED US THAT HE
SENDS JESUS FOR US.
AND OUR NEW TESTAMENT
NARRATIVE BEGINS WITH THE
BIRTH OF JESUS, WHO COMES
AND BRINGS US HOME.
AND SO THAT WAS THE
CONNECTIVE LOVE STORY THAT
WE WANTED TO TELL.
WE ONLY HAD 10 HOURS, SO WE
HAD TO CONVINCE THE
STORIES.
IT ENDED UP REALLY IT IS
MORE OF AN DUCTION
INTRODUCTION TO THE BIBLE.
Reporter: IN TACKLING A
PRODUCTION OF THIS
MAGNITUDE, GREAT CARE WAS
TAKEN TO MAKE THE FINISHED
PRODUCT LOOK AND FEEL
AUTHENTIC.
WE WENT ABOUT THREE OR
FOUR HOURS DRIVE DOWN TO THE
ATLAS MOUNTAINS TO THE EDGE
OF THE SAHARA, AND WE CHOSE
THIS LOCATION BECAUSE IT
ALLOWED US TO ACHIEVE THE
BEAUTIFUL BIBLICAL
LANDSCAPE.
IT HAS REPLACED SOME OF
THE EPIC KAZBARS, WHICH
LOOKED LIKE THEY BELONGED,
AND PROBABLY DO BELONG, TO
2,000 YEARS AGO.
MOSES.
WE WANT TO MAKE THE BIBLE
COME TO LIFE WITH FRESH
VISUAL IMAGERY FOR THIS
GENERATION.
SO WE GATHERED TO US THE
BEST IN THE BUSINESS.
WE HAVE THE BEST, AN
OSCAR-WINNING TEAM WHO
CREATED THE SPECIAL EFFECTS
FOR GLADIATOR.
Reporter: A PORTUGUESE
ACTOR PLAYS THE ROLE OF
JESUS CHRIST.
WHEN YOU WERE APPROACHED
ABOUT DOING THIS ROLE AS A
PERFORMER, AS AN ACTOR, WHAT
WENT THROUGH YOUR MIND?
I THINK THE FIRST THOUGHT
WAS, I CAN'T DO IT.
HONESTLY.
IT IS LIKE THIS IS TOO
MUCH.
YOU WILL ALL FALL AWAY.
WE'RE NOT JUST TELLING A
STORY.
WE'RE TRYING TO TOUCH
PEOPLE'S HEARTS.
WE'RE TELLING A STORY
THAT PEOPLE LIVE BY.
I GREW UP KNOWING THE
BIBLE.
I GREW UP BELIEVING IN JESUS
CHRIST.
SO WITH THE FACT THAT MY OWN
FAITH AND MY OWN BELIEFS,
GETTING INVOLVED IT'S LIKE
HOW CAN I DO SOMEONE I KNOW
SO WELL.
WHAT SHOULD I DO?
SHOULD WE GO TO WHAT PEOPLE
KNOW ABOUT, OR SHARING YOUR
OWN EXPERIENCES.
I THINK I TRY TO DO IT
BOTH.
Reporter: IN THEIR
YEARS OF SUCCESSFUL WORK IN
HOLLYWOOD, MARK AND ROMA SAY
THIS PROJECT IS ONE OF THE
MOST POWERFUL PROJECTS
THEY'VE EVER WORKED WITH.
IT IS HUMAN, IT IS
CONNECTIVE, AND IT IS
BEAUTIFUL.
THROUGH THE WHOLE THING IS
THIS HEART BEAT OF FAITH,
THE HEART BEAT OF GOD'S
LOVE.
THE PROJECT WAS MADE TO
GLORIFY GOD.
Pat: THAT IS SO
EXCITING.
THEY ARE SO TALENTED.
MARK BERNETT IS
EXTRAORDINARILY TALENTED,
AND SO IS ROMA DOWNING.
Terry: AND THIS LOOKS
LIKE IT IS GOING TO BE AN
AMAZING MIN SERIES.
IT DEBUTS THIS SUNDAY NIGHT
ON THE HISTORY CHANNEL.
AND IT WILL BE EVERY SUNDAY,
WITH THE FINALE ON EASTER.
THEY HAVE RELEASED SEVERAL
BOOKS, THE FIRST, "THE STORY
OF GOD," IS A NOVEL.
AND THE THIRD IS THIS
100-DAY DAILY DEVOTION BASED
ON THE MINI SERIES.
YOU CAN GO TO cbn.com AND
TAKE A LOOK.
THE HOPE OF THIS IS IT WILL
DRIVE PEOPLE TO GO BACK TO
THE WORD.
THE BIBLE IS AN AMAZING
STORY OF, AS ROMA SAYS SO
CLEARLY, GOD REACHING OUT
AND COMING FOR
US.
Pat: IT TOUCHES THE
LIVES OF EVERYBODY.
OUR HATS OFF TO THE HISTORY
CHANNEL.
THEY HAVE SCORED A TRIUMPH,
AND I HOPE THERE IS A HUGE
AUDIENCE FOR IT.
Terry: SOMETHING NOT TO
BE MISSED.
THINK YOU KNOW WHAT IT TAKES
TO BE REALLY GREAT?
STAY TUNED, BECAUSE PAT
SHOWS HOW YOU CAN REACH TRUE
GREATNESS IN A SEGMENT FROM
"THE SECRET KINGDOM."
THAT'S LATER ON TODAY'S "700
CLUB."
Wendy: WELCOME BACK TO
"THE 700 CLUB."
ARKANSAS GOVERNOR MIKE BEBE
SIGNED INTO LAW A BILL
PROTECTING THE RIGHTS OF
MOTHERS WHO ARE FORCED TO
DEFEND THE LIVES OF THEIR
UNBORN CHILDREN.
IT IS CALLED "THE PREGNANT
WOMAN'S PROTECTION ACT."
THE MEASURE PASSED THE STATE
HOUSE AND THE SENATE
UNANIMOUSLY.
THE GROUP AMERICANS UNITED
FOR LIFE IS BEHIND THE NEW
LEGISLATION.
A SPOKESPERSON SAYS IT WAS
DRAFTED IN RESPONSE TO THE
GROWING PROBLEM OF
PREGNANCY-RELATED VIOLENCE
AGAINST WOMEN.
STUDIES SHOW A PREGNANT
WOMAN IS MORE LIKELY TO BE A
VICTIM OF HOMICIDE THAN TO
DIE OF ANY OTHER CAUSE.
"OPERATION BLESSING"
SURVIVED A SANDY VICTIM AND
CANCER SURVIVOR WITH AN
EXTREME BLESSING HOME
MAKEOVER.
BARBARA LOST EVERYTHING WHEN
HURRICANE SANDY HIT HER
HOME.
BUT WITH THE HELP OF 100
VOLUNTEERS, "OPERATION
BLESSING" GAVE BARBARA A BIG
SURPRISE.
THEY REBUILT HER HOME,
COMPLETE WITH NEW DRYWALL,
FLOORS, PAINT, APPLIANCES
AND EVEN FURNITURE.
THE HURRICANE SANDY RELIEF
EFFORTS FROM PROVIDED MORE
THAN 12,000 HOT MEALS, AND
COORDINATED OVER 1500
VOLUNTEERS FOR CLEANUP AND
DEBRIS REMOVAL.
AND YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT "OPERATION BLESSING"
BY GOING TO THEIR WEBSITE
AT OB.ORG.
PAT AND TERRY WILL BE BACK
WITH MORE OF "THE 700 CLUB"
RIGHT AFTER THIS.
Terry: WHAT MAKES
SOMEONE TRULY GREAT?
IT MAY NOT BE WHAT YOU
THINK.
IN FACT, TRUE GREATNESS IS
COUNTER-INTUITIVE, AS PAT
EXPLAINS IN THIS SEGMENT
FROM "THE SECRET KINGDOM."
Pat: GREATNESS -- WHAT
IS GREATNESS?
THERE WAS A MAN IN RUSSIA
WHO WAS THE GREAT KING.
HE WAS CALLED PETER THE
GREAT.
HE IS THE ONE THAT WESTERN
WESTERNIZED RUSSIA.
WAS HE REALLY GREAT?
THERE WAS A MASADONIAN
GENERAL, ONE OF THE SMARTEST
GENERALS THAT EVER LIVED.
HE WAS KNOWN AS ALEXANDER
THE GREAT.
HE DRANK HIMSELF TO DEATH
WHEN HE WAS MAYBE 31 OR 32
YEARS OLD.
WAS HE GREAT?
WE HAD A BOXER NAMED
MUHAMMAD ALI, WHO SAID I
FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY AND
STING LIKE A BEE.
HE NOW HAS PARKINSON'S.
WAS HE REALLY THE GREATEST?
NAPOLEON THE GREAT?
THEY WEREN'T GREAT.
THERE IS ONLY ONE PERSON WHO
HAS EVER REALLY BEEN GREAT,
AND HIS NAME IS JESUS.
AND HE TOLD US THE SECRET OF
GREATNESS.
HIS DISCIPLES WERE ARGUING
AMONG THEMSELVES AS TO WHO
WAS THE GREATEST.
THEY WERE FIGHTING.
THEY SAY, WHAT IF YOU HAD A
COUPLE OF KIDS SQUABBLING
ABOUT WHO WAS THE BEST
BASKETBALL PLAYER, WHETHER
IT WAS LEBRON JAMES OR
MICHAEL JORDAN, AND THEY
WERE FIGHTING EACH OTHER
OVER WHO WAS THE GREATEST.
HIS DISCIPLES WERE FIGHTING
AMONG WHO WAS THE GREATEST.
AND HE TOOK A CHILD AND SET
HIM IN THE MIDST AND SAID,
YOU SEE THIS LITTLE CHILD.
HE THAT BECOMES LIKE A
LITTLE CHILD, HE'LL BE GREAT
IN THE KINGDOM.
WHAT IS IT ABOUT A LITTLE
CHILD THAT MAKES HIM GREAT?
THING ABOUT A CHILD THAT IS
SO INTERESTING IS HIS EARS
ARE ALWAYS OPEN.
HE IS ALWAYS ASKING
QUESTIONS.
HE HAS AN INQUIRING MIND.
WHY IS THE GRASS GREEN?
WHY IS THE SUN UP, DADDY?
WHY DO THOSE DOGS WALK THAT
WAY INSTEAD OF THE OTHER
WAY, DADDY?
AND THEY KEEP ASKING.
THEY SAY THAT A CHILD
BETWEEN THE AGE OF 4 AND 5
WILL LEARN MORE THAN AN
OLDER CHILD WILL LEARN
DURING FOUR YEARS OF
COLLEGE.
THEIR MINDS ARE OPEN TO
LISTEN.
AND THE OTHER THING ABOUT A
CHILD IS THEY'RE TRUSTING.
A CHILD HAS TO RELY ON HIS
MOTHER AND FATHER TO FEED
HIM, CLOTHE HIM, HOUSE HIM.
THEY TAKE IT FOR GRANTED
THAT MOMMY AND DADDY ARE
GOING TO TAKE CARE OF ME.
YOU WOULD HATE TO HAVE A
CHILD ALWAYS WORRIED ABOUT
WHETHER HE WAS GOING TO GET
THE NEXT MEAL.
THERE ARE SOME IN THE THIRD
WORLD THAT ARE THAT WAY, BUT
CERTAINLY HERE IN AMERICA,
IN THE AVERAGE FAMILY,
CHILDREN RELY ON THROUGH
FAMILIES.
CERTAINLY A BABY DOES.
A BABY DOESN'T SIT AROUND
HAVING A DISCUSSION WITH HIS
FELLOWS, DO YOU THINK OUR
FOLKS ARE GOING TO FEED US
TODAY?
HE JUST YELLS AND HE GETS A
BOTTLE.
THEY EXPECT IT BECAUSE
THEY'RE TRUSTING.
THAT'S WHAT GOD SAYS I WANT,
THOSE WHO ARE TRUSTING IN
ME, WHO WILL RELY ON ME AS
THE SOURCE OF THEIR
BLESSING.
NOW, JESUS ALSO EXPANDED ON
THIS CONCEPT OF GREATNESS.
HE SAID, THE KINGS OF THIS
EARTH
EXALT THEMSELVES, AND
THEN CALL THEM BENEFACTORS.
THEY EXALT THEMSELVES FOR
GREATNESS.
BUT HE SAID, IT'S NOT
SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY WITH
YOU.
HE THAT IS THE LEAST AMONG
YOU, LET HIM BE THE GREATEST
OF ALL.
HE THAT IS THE SLAVE OF
OTHERS, HE SAID, I AM SON OF
GOD, YET I'M WITH YOU AS ONE
THAT SERVES.
AND YOU RECALL THOSE DAYS
BEFORE HE IS CRUCIFIED, WHEN
THEY WERE IN THE UPPER ROOM,
AND HE TOOK A BASIN AND HE
KNELT DOWN AND HE BEGAN TO
WASH THE FEET OF HIS
DISCIPLES.
AND HE SAYS, IF I'M YOUR
MASTER AND LORD, YOU SEE
WHAT I'M DOING.
YOU SHOULD WASH THE FEET OF
YOUR OTHER DISCIPLES.
I AM TAKING THE ROLE OF THE
SLAVE.
HE THAT IS THE GREATEST, IS
THE BOND SLAVE OF ALL.
THAT SOUNDS KIND OF CRAZY.
MOST PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO BE
SERVANTS.
THEY DON'T WANT TO BE
SERVANTS.
WHO WANTS TO BE IN THE ROLE
OF A SERVANT?
A LOT OF FOLKS, CERTAINLY
100 YEARS AGO, OUR
AFRICAN-AMERICAN FRIENDS
WERE PRETTY MUCH CONFINED TO
MENIAL TASKS IN THE
KITCHEN.
THEY DON'T WANT THAT, AND I
DON'T BLAME THEM.
THEY WANT TO GET EDUCATED.
THEY WANT TO SIT IN AN
EXECUTIVE SUITE.
THEY WANT TO BE C.E.O.s
AND LEADERS AND GENERALS,
AND THEY ARE.
BUT WHEN ARE YOU REALLY
GREAT?
YOU'RE GREAT WHEN YOU ARE A
SERVANT.
NOW, YOU AND I DON'T WANT TO
BE SERVANTS, DO WE?
WELL, THINK OF THE GREATEST
INVENTOR.
WHO WOULD YOU SAY IS THE
GREATEST INVENTOR.
WOULD SAY THOMAS EDISON,
PROBABLY.
WHY IS HE GREAT?
HE IS GREAT BECAUSE HE
SERVED THE MOST PEOPLE.
YOU WOULD THINK ABOUT HENRY
FORD.
HE WAS A GREATEST
INDUSTRIALIST.
HE HAD HIS FLAWS, BUT HE WAS
A GREAT INDUSTRIALIST.
WHY?
BECAUSE HE SERVED PEOPLE
WITH CHEAP TRANSPORTATION.
AND THE MORE PEOPLE HE
SERVED, THE GREATER HE WAS.
SO, ALSO, PUBLIC SERVANTS
WHO HONESTLY FEEL THAT THEIR
JOB IS TO SERVE THE PUBLIC.
IF WE WANT TO BE GREAT --
AND I'LL TELL YOU, IF THE
CHURCH WANTS TO SHOW ITSELF
STRONG IN A SINFUL WORLD,
THE BEST WAY WE CAN DO IT IS
TO SERVE THE POOR AND THE
NEEDY.
IF WE GO
OUT AND TAKE THE
ROLE OF A SERVANT AND WE
SERVE OTHERS -- AND BUSINESS
SCHOOLS ARE TEACHING WHAT
THEY CALL SERVANT
LEADERSHIP.
THAT IS ONE OF THE PROBLEMS
WITH THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE
MANUFACTURERS, THE GUYS EN
THE FRONT OFFICE, THE BIG
SHOTS, WOULDN'T LISTEN TO
THE WORKERS.
THEY KNEW IT ALL.
THEY WERE THE PROS, THEY
WERE THE EXPERTS.
DON'T TELL ME HOW TO RUN OUR
AUTOMOBILE COMPANY, I'VE
BEEN HERE FOR 30 YEARS.
IT WAS TRAGIC, WASN'T IT?
GENERAL MOTORS WENT
BANKRUPT, AND WE'VE LOST OUR
PLACE AMONG THE NATIONS AND
AMONG THE INDUSTRIAL TITANS
OF THE WORLD BECAUSE OUR
LEADERS WOULDN'T LISTEN.
THEY WOULDN'T LISTEN.
THEY WERE TOO PROUD.
AND ALONG WITH THIS COMES
HUMILITY BECAUSE A CHILD IS
HUMBLE.
A LITTLE CHILD IS HUMBLE.
AND THE LORD SAID, EXCEPT
YOU HUMBLE YOURSELF, AND
BECOME LIKE A LITTLE CHILD,
YOU CANNOT ENTER THE KINGDOM
OF GOD.
THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT
BEING HUMBLE AND LISTENING
TO SOMEBODY ELSE.
TEACH ME.
THE REALLY SMART PEOPLE, THE
ONES WHO REALLY ARE THE
LEADERS IN INDUSTRY, ARE THE
ONES WHO ARE ALWAYS LEARNING
AND SAYING TEACH ME.
ARE THERE ANY NEW
TECHNIQUES?
TELL ME.
HOW DO YOU DO IT?
TELL ME THE NEW WAY.
HOW DOES IT GO?
AND THE ONES WHO ARE
OSSIFIED, THEY WILL BE
EXTINCT.
BUT GOD IS SAYING TO US, IF
YOU WANT TO BE A LEADER,
SERVE.
AND IF YOU WANT TO BE THE
GREATEST, YOU BE THE BOND
SLAVE OF ALL.
AND YOU LOOK BACK TO JESUS.
WHAT DID HE DO?
HE GAVE HIS LIFE FOR
EVERYONE.
HE IS THE GREATEST WHOEVER
LIVED BECAUSE HE SERVED MORE
PEOPLE.
HE SERVED THE GENERATIONS
YET TO BE BORN.
HE SERVED HIS
CONTEMPORARIES.
HE SERVED EVERYBODY.
HIS DEATH WON A PLACE TO
HEAVEN FOR ALL OF US.
THAT'S WHY HE IS THE
GREATEST.
NOT SOME GENERAL, NOT SOME
KING, NOT SOME PRIZE
FIGHTER.
BUT JESUS CHRIST.
AND HE TOLD US HOW WE CAN
REACH GREATNESS, AND THERE
IS NO OTHER WAY THAN TO HAVE
A SERVANT'S HEART.
[APPLAUSE]
Terry: I LOVE THIS
SERIES.
IT IS RICH WITH WISDOM FROM
THE BIBLE.
WE'VE BEEN PLAYING "SECRET
KINGDOM" TEACHINGS ALL WEEK
AND THE RESPONSE HAS BEEN
TREMENDOUS.
CATHY SAYS, "I SAW PAT TALK
ABOUT THE LAW OF UNITY FROM
THE SECRET KINGDOM.
I WANT TO THANK YOU SO MUCH
BECAUSE I'M STRUGGLING WITH
DISUNITY AT MY WORKPLACE.
I WAS PLANNING ON TALKING
WITH MY MANAGERS, BUT I
REALLY DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO GO
ABOUT IT.
GOD BROUGHT YOU AND YOUR
PROGRAM ON AT THE RIGHT
TIME.
NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DO AND
WHAT TO TALK ABOUT.
I'M SO GRATEFUL.
YOU PUT PEACE IN MY HEART."
WE WANT ALL OF YOU TO KNOW
YOU CAN ALWAYS GO TO OUR
WEBSITE FOR MORE TEACHINGS
OF "THE SECRET KINGDOM."
GO TO cbn.com, AND GO TO
"I SAW IT ON THE "THE 700
CLUB" BOX," AND YOU'LL FIND
IT THERE.
ALEXIS SAYS, "HOW CAN A TRUE
SERVANT REALLY LEAD.
THERE MAY COME A TIME WHEN
TWO PEOPLE HAVE TWO VERY
DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT HOW
TO APPROACH A TOPIC.
HOW CAN A LEADER SERVE
BOTH?"
STAY TUNED FOR A SPECIAL
EDITION OF "BRING IT ON."
THAT'S NEXT.
*
Pat: ALL RIGHT.
Terry: WE LOVE TO
INTERACT WITH YOU, AND WE
WANT TO TAKE SOME TIME TO
ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS
YOU SUBMITTED TO US.
PAT, THIS FIRST ONE COMES
FROM ALEXIS.
"PAT, I AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT
THE LAW OF GREATNESS.
I THINK HUMILITY AND HAVING
A SERVANT'S HEART ARE
QUALITIES SOARLY LACKING IN
TODAY'S AGE, ESPECIALLY IN
WASHINGTON.
BUT HOW CAN A TRUE SERVANT
REALLY LEAD.
THERE MAY COME A TIME WHEN
TWO PEOPLE HAVE VERY
DIFFERENT OPINIONS ABOUT HOW
TO APPROACH A TOPIC.
HOW IS A LEADER EXPECTED TO
MAKE A DECISION WHEN HE HAS
AN EITHER/OR DECISION?"
Pat: YOU'RE JOB IS TO
SERVE AND TO MAKE A BETTER
SITUATION FOR YOUR COMPANY,
FOR YOUR STATE, FOR YOUR
NATION.
AND THAT'S YOUR HEART.
AND PEOPLE MIGHT DISAGREE
WITH YOU, BUT JESUS CHRIST
WAS A LEADER.
AND HE SPOKE WHAT'S TO BE
DONE.
AND HE OBVIOUSLY WAS THERE.
HE LOVED THE PEOPLE, AND AS
A LEADER, YOU LOVE THE
PEOPLE.
IF SOMEBODY DISAGREES WITH
YOU, YOU HEAR THEIR POINT OF
VIEW.
YOU LISTEN PRESPECTFULLY TO
WHAT THEY HAVE TO SAY, AND
YOU LISTEN TO BOTH SIDES.
AND THEY KNOW THAT YOU HAVE
TO MAKE A DECISION.
AND THEY NEED TO RESPECT
YOUR DECISION IF YOU ARE A
LEADER.
AND THE DECISION YOU MAKE IS
YOU SAY, I HOPE YOU ALL
AGREE, BUT I DO BELIEVE THIS
IS THE BEST COURSE.
WE'VE LISTENED TO ALL OF THE
ARGUMENTS, AND WE HAVE TO
MAKE A DECISION.
BUT YOU DO IT HUMBLY.
YOU DON'T JUST SAY, I'M THE
BOSS, YOU DO WHAT I SAY
WHETHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT.
IT IS YOUR ATTITUDE.
I LOVE YOU, I WANT TO DO
WHAT'S BEST, AND HERE IS
WHAT I THINK IS RIGHT.
AND THEN EVERYBODY NEEDS TO
FALL IN LINE.
THAT'S LEADERSHIP.
IT'S LOVE.
Terry: THIS IS FROM
TOMMY.
TOMMY SAYS, 888-706-876, "I
REALLY WANT TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE IN THE WORLD.
I BELIEVE I NEED TO HAVE A
SERVANT'S HEART IN ORDER TO
DO THAT.
I FEEL AS IF MY EMOTIONS ARE
INFLUX.
I TRULY DO WANT TO SERVE,
BUT AT THE SAME TIME, I
REALIZE MY MOTIVATION FOR
SERVING IS TIED INTO MY
FEELINGS FOR GREATNESS.
HOW DO I RECONCILE THESE
FEELINGS?"
Pat: DON'T SPEND TOO
MUCH TIME IN INT
INTROINSPECTION.
JUST GO OUT THERE AND HELP
PEOPLE.
THESE PEOPLE NEED FOOD.
GET OUT AND FEED PEOPLE.
LOOKING AT MY PULSE --
FORGET ALL OF THAT.
FOCUS ON THE NEED.
HOW CAN I MEET THE NEED?
WHAT CAN I DO TO SERVE THESE
PEOPLE, PERIOD.
Terry: THERE ARE
WONDERFUL SCRIPTURES WHERE
YOU ARE ASKING GOD TO HELP
YOU.
CREATE IN ME A PURE HEART.
GOD DOES FOR FOR US.
Pat: YOU CAN DO THAT.
BUT, AGAIN, TERRY, THIS
INTROSPECTION, YOU CAN SPEND
ALL OF YOUR TIME, AM MY
MOTIVES RIGHT?
COME ON.
WHO CARES WHAT YOUR MOTIVE
IS.
THE MOTIVE IS THAT YOU'VE
GOT TO DO IS LET'S GET THE
JOB DONE.
HERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
SUFFERING; LET'S HELP THEM.
Terry: SHARON SAYS, "I
JUST STARTED WATCHING YOUR
SHOW AND I LOVE IT.
I LOST ONE OF MY SONS WHEN
HE WAS 19 YEARS OLD.
FOUR MONTHS LATER, MY
HUSBAND OF 22 YEARS PASSED
AWAY.
JESUS HAS BEEN MY ROCK
THROUGH THIS, AND HE IS MY
HIGHEST PRIORITY IN MY
LIFE.
I HAVE A BEAUTIFUL STATUE OF
JESUS CARRYING HIS CROSS.
I KEEP IT IN FRONT OF ME IN
FULL SIGHT.
YOU SAID WE'RE NEVER TO
WORSHIP MAN-MADE IMAGES, AND
I AGREE, BUT SINCE THEN I'VE
BEEN DEEPLY TROUBLED ABOUT
MY STATUE.
I DON'T BOW DOWN OR WORSHIP
IT, BUT IT BRINGS ME SUCH
STRENGTH NOW THAT I'M A
WIDOW AND ALONE.
IS THIS CONSIDERED AN
IDOL?"
Pat: IT DEPENDS ON WHAT
YOU HAVE DONE IN YOUR LIFE.
WE'VE GOT A PICTURE ON THE
OTHER SIDE OF THE STUDIO OF
JESUS.
Terry: SURE.
THERE ARE MANY SCULPTURES
THAT HAVE BEEN DONE BY
WONDERFUL ARTISTS.
Pat: SURE.
AND YOU GO INTO SAINT
PETER'S AND THERE ARE PEOPLE
WHO ARE RUBBING THE FEET OF
SOME STATUE OF A SAINT,
THINKING IT IS GOING TO
BRING THEM BLESSING.
THAT IS IDOLATRY.
BUT IF YOU SAY I WANT TO
FOLLOW THIS ONE.
HE DID IT FOR ME AND I LOVE
HIM FOR IT.
THAT IS NOT IDOLATRY.
I DON'T CONSIDER THAT
IDOLATRY.
Terry: DAVID SAYS,
888-706-876, "WE'RE GIVING
APPROXIMATELY 18% OF OUR
INCOME.
WE'RE GIVING TO OUR LOCAL
CHURCH, BUT ONLY ABOUT 8% TO
9%.
IS IT NECESSARY TO UP THE
CHURCH TO 10% TO CONSIDER
WE'RE TITHERS.
WE'RE NOT CONTRIBUTING 10%
TO ANY ONE ORGANIZATION.
OR AM I OVERTHINKING THIS?"
Pat: YES, YOU'RE
OVERTHINKING THIS.
GOD IS NOT A PHILADELPHIA
LAWYER OR AN ACCOUNTANT.
COME ON.
Terry: YOU'RE RIGHT.
Pat: WE DIMINISH THE
CREATOR.
HE IS A GREAT GOD.
AND HE SAYS, I LOVE YOU AND
OUT OF THAT WHICH I GIVEN,
YOU GIVE BACK.
AND THE 10th IS ONLY
ONE -- THERE WERE THREE
TITHES IF YOU LOOK IN THE
OLD TESTAMENT.
SO THE STANDARD IS 30%.
THE GOVERNMENT LET'S YOU
GIVE 50%.
IT JUST DEPENDS.
TITHES AND OFFERINGS OUT OF
YOUR INNER BEING, BUT IT
DOESN'T HAVE TO BE TO A
QUOTE CHURCH.
I KNOW THERE SOME THAT THINK
THAT TITHE BELONGS TO THE
CHURCH.
NO IT DOESN'T.
IT BELONGS TO GOD.
IF IT IS A MINISTRY THAT
HELPS HUMANITARIANS --
YOU'RE GIVING TO GOD.
IT IS WHAT IS IN YOUR
HEART.
I THINK WE HAVE GOT TO GET
OUT OF THIS -- YOU KNOW --
Terry: THERE IS
SOMETHING IN US THAT SO
WANTS TO PLEASE, THAT WE
WANT A FORMULA.
Pat: I KNOW.
BUT HE DOESN'T WANT US TO
HAVE FORMULAS.
HE WANTS US TO BE FREE.
FREEDOM!
Terry: OKAY, THIS IS
RACHEL WHO SAYS, "WHY DOES
GOD HEAL SOME AND NOT
OTHERS.
DOES THE PHRASE NO RESPECTER
OF PERSONS APPLY HERE.
HOW CAN WE SAY GOD WILL DO
SOMETHING WHEN WE DON'T KNOW
FOR CERTAIN WHAT HE'LL DO?"
Pat: WHY DO SOME PEOPLE
GET HEALED AND SOME DON'T?
WHAT'S IN THEIR HEART?
THEY TALK ABOUT HOLY
INVALIDS, BUT YOU DON'T KNOW
WHAT IS GOING ON IN THEIR
HEART.
IS THERE RESENTMENT WAY DOWN
DEEP INSIDE.
IS THERE LACK OF FAITH DEEP
INSIDE?
MAYBE THEIR TIME HASN'T
QUITE COME.
GOD KNOWS ALL THESE THINGS,
AND HE HASN'T REVEALED THEM
ALL TO US.
WHEN JESUS WAS HERE ON
EARTH, HE KNEW IF SOMETHING
WAS DEMONS.
HE KNEW IF SOMETHING WAS
SIN.
AND HE KNEW IF SOMETHING WAS
JUST DISEASE.
AND HE WAS ABLE TO DEAL WITH
ALL OF THOSE PROBLEMS AND
EVERYBODY GOT HEALED.
THERE WAS NO PERSON WHO CAME
TO JESUS THAT WASN'T
HEALED.
THEY KNOW.
WE DON'T KNOW.
WE SEE THROUGH A GLASS
DARKLY.
Terry: EVEN GOD'S
BIGGER PLAN, I THINK OF THE
STORY OF JIM ELLIOT, AND
SOMETIMES WE SEE DEATH
DIFFERENTLY THAN GOD DOES.
AND THAT CREATED SUCH A
BROAD SPREADING OF THE
GOSPEL.
Pat: AND TO US WHAT WAS
TRAGEDY WAS A GLORIOUS
TRANSFORMATION OF FAITH.
HE GOT KILLED.
IS THAT BAD?
NOT REALLY.
HE IS WITH THE LORD.
IT'S FRIDAY.
I HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT
WEEKEND.
Terry: THANK YOU.
YOU, TOO.
RIDE THAT HORSE.
Pat: I'M GOING TO RIDE
THAT HORSE IN ABOUT AN HOUR
OR TWO.
ON MONDAY, THE INCREDIBLE
SURVIVAL STORY OF A CLIMBER
WHO WENT BLIND ON MOUNTAIN
EVEREST, AND LOST HIS
OXYGEN, AND LIVED TO TELL
THE TALE.
WE'LL SEE YOU THEN.
