TERRY: UP NEXT, WE ARE
CONTINUING OUR SERIES WITH
MARRIAGE ON THE ROCK WITH A
COUPLE THAT DIDN'T HAVE A FAIRY
TALE ROMANCE.
IT WASN'T LIKE HE GOT ON HIS
KNEE.
IT WAS LIKE HEY, I AM PREGNANT.
WE HAVE TO GET MARRIED.
TERRY: SEE HOW THEY GOT
THEIR HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
THAT IS NEXT.
GORDAN: RACHEL HARDCASTLE WAS
A STAY AT MOM WITH TWO KIDS AND
HAD HELP AROUND THE HOUSE IN THE
FORM OF PRESCRIPTION DRUGS.
DRUGS ARE THE REASON THAT
BROUGHT JEFFREY AND RACHEL
HARDCASTLE TOGETHER IN THE SAME
PLACE.
YEARS LATER THE SAME DRUGS TORE
THEM APART.
BY THE TIME I STARTED HIGH
SCHOOL, I HAD DONE EVERY KIND OF
DRUG YOU COULD POSSIBLY IMAGINE.
I INTRODUCED HER INTO THAT LIFE
STYLE.
FOR TWO YEARS WE GOT ON A
BINGE.
I WAS PREGNANT.
IT WASN'T LIKE HE GOT DOWN ON
HIS KNEE AND ASKED ME TO MARRY
HIM.
IT WAS LIKE HEY, I AM PREGNANT.
WE HAVE TO GET MARRIED.
IT WAS HARD BECAUSE I WAS LIKE
REALLY?
THIS IS NOT WHAT I WANTED FOR MY
LIFE.
I HAD A TENDENCY TO BLAME HIM.
I WAS VERY DEPRESSED ESPECIALLY
AFTER OUR SON WAS BORN.
AFTER OUR SON WAS BORN WE HAD
OUR LITTLE GIRL.
I STAYED AT HOME BEHIND
CLOSED DOORS, TAKING
PRESCRIPTION DRUGS AT THE SAME
TIME.
IT WAS NOT ANY TYPE OF
MARRIAGE YOU WOULD WANT OR WANT
YOUR KIDS TO SEE.
DIDN'T KNOW SHE
WAS ON THE PAIN PILLS THE WAY
SHE WAS.
I WAS SCREAMING, YELLING,
MAD, IRRITATED ALL THE TIME
BECAUSE MY DEPRESSION AND I WAS
CONSTANTLY LOOKING ELSEWHERE FOR
MY HAPPINESS.
I BEGAN TO HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH
ONE OF OUR FRIENDS, PHYSICAL,
EMOTIONAL AFFAIR THAT BROUGHT ME
WHAT I THOUGHT I WAS LOOKING
FOR.
IN THE BACK OF MY MIND I KNEW
SOMETHING ELSE WAS GOING ON.
AT THE TIME I BEGAN TO HAVE WHAT
YOU WOULD CALL AN EMOTIONAL
AFFAIR WITH ANOTHER WOMAN AT A
JOB.
SHE WOULD DO HER THING AND I
WOULD DO MY THING AND COME HOME
AND SLEPT UNDER THE SAME ROOF.
SHE THREATENED TO LEAVE AND
DIVORCE COUPLE OF TIMES.
WHEN YOU SEE THE PAPERS, IT WAS
REALLY HARD.
I DIDN'T CARE.
I DIDN'T CARE IF I LIVED OR
DIED.
I STARTED SNORTING OXY COTTON,
STARTED DOING COKE AND SIGNED
OVER CUSTODY AND LEFT THE
LAWYER'S OFFICE AND GOT HIGH.
I LOST MY JOBS, KIDS, COULDN'T
AFFORD MY APARTMENT.
I WAS LEFT WITH ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING.
I REMEMBER DAYS BEING EXTREMELY
HARD BECAUSE I COULDN'T TALK TO
THE KIDS.
I WAS IN SO MUCH PHYSICAL PAIN.
I MISSED THEM SO MUCH.
I HAD TO RELIVE EVERY BIT THAT I
HAD REDONE TO BRING ME TO THIS
POINT TO GET BETTER.
TO HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY FOR
THOSE MONTHS TO LAY EVERYTHING
DOWN BEFORE HIM TO SAY THIS IS
WHAT I BRING TO YOU IT IS A BIG
PILE OF COMPLETE AND UTTER
DESTRUCTION, I NEED YOU TO HELP
ME, SAVE ME FROM ALL THIS.
I CAN'T SAVE MYSELF.
IT WAS GOD WANTING A
RELATIONSHIP WITH ME.
ME HAVING THAT RELATIONSHIP WITH
HIM IN ORDER TO BE THE PERSON HE
CALLED ME TO BE, IT WAS EVERY
SINGLE THING THAT I NEEDED.
IT WAS JESUS THAT HE WAS THE
ONLY THING THAT COULD FIX
EVERYTHING GOING ON IN MY LIFE.
GOT TO SEE THE KIDS VERY RARELY
AT THE VERY BEGINNING BECAUSE
JEFFREY WAS OF COURSE VERY STAND
OFFISH.
I WANTED TO RUSH HOME AND
EVERYBODY TO SEE THIS GREAT
CHANGE.
ULTIMATELY IT HAD TO BE A GOD
THING HE HAD TO CHANGE THEIR
HEARTS TO SEE ME AS A DIFFERENT
PERSON.
I STARTED GOING BACK TO
CHURCH WITH MY PARENTS.
THE MORE WE WENT AND THE MORE I
STARTED PRAYING, I ASKED FOR
FORGIVENESS FOR THE THINGS I HAD
DONE AND DURING THAT TIME, GOD
OPENED MY EYES AND SHOWED ME
CHRIST DIED FOR ME.
HOW AM I STILL GOING TO BE
BITTER TOWARDS HER?
I STARTED SEEING THE WAY THE
KIDS WERE WITH HER AND HOW SHE
AS WITH THE KIDS AND STARTED
PICTURING, I GUESS OUR FAMILY
BACK KOTH.
ME AND MY SISTER AND MOM WERE
HAVING DINNER AT THE CHEESECAKE
FACTORY FOR MOTHER'S DAY.
I DIDN'T HAVE CUSTODY BUT I WAS
GOING TO CELEBRATE THE MOTHER I
WAS GOING TO BE.
I REMEMBER LOOKING AROUND THE
CORNER AND SAW JEFFREY AND THE
KIDS.
THEY WALKED OVER AND JEFFREY GOT
DOWN ON BENDED KNEE AND HE WAS
LIKE, I KNOW THAT THERE HAS BEEN
SO MUCH WE HAVE SAID AND DONE TO
EACH OTHER, THERE HAS BEEN SO
MANY DIFFERENT THINGS WE HAVE
DONE TO HURT EACH OTHER.
I FORGIVE YOU, WE WERE WONDERING
IF YOU WOULD MARRY US AGAIN.
THINKING TO MYSELF THIS IS
JESUS.
THIS IS WHAT JESUS DOES.
OUR MARRIAGE NOW COMPARED TO
WHAT IT WAS BEFORE IS LIKE NIGHT
AND DAY.
IT WASN'T OVERNIGHT.
IT TOOK A LONG TIME.
TO KNOW THAT HE CAN RESTORE
ANYTHING AND WE TRY OUR BEST TO
PUT HIM FIRST AND SO IT IS
COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.
IF YOU FEEL HOPELESS IN YOUR
MARRIAGE, GET ON YOUR KNEES AND
SEEK THE ONLY ONE THAT CAN SAVE
A SITUATION LIKE THIS.
HE WANTS TO SEE MARRIAGES
RESTORED.
HE IS JESUS.
HE IS IN THE POWER OF
RESTORATION.
ALWAYS HOPE BECAUSE HE IS JESUS
AND HE IS THE ANSWER.
GORDAN: HE IS THE ANSWER TO
EVERY HUMAN NEED.
HE IS THE ANSWER FOR YOU.
WE WERE ORIGINALLY CREATED TO BE
WITH GOD IN A GARDEN WHERE HE
WOULD COME DOWN IN THE COOL OF
THE EVENING AND TALK WITH US.
HE WANTED A RELATIONSHIP.
THAT WAS HIS DREAM, HIS PURPOSE.
IT BROUGHT HIM GREAT JOY.
HE SAID THIS IS GOOD.
WE ARE THE ONE THAT IS MESSED IT
UP.
THAT STORY OF US EATING THE
FORBIDDEN FRUIT HAS BEEN
REPLAYED IN EVERY SINGLE
GENERATION.
IN OUR GENERATION IT IS DRUGS
AND ALCOHOL, THINGS THAT GET US
INTO VERY DESTRUCTIVE LIFE
STYLES WHERE LITERALLY OUR
FAMILIES AREN'T IMPORTANT, OUR
CHILDREN AREN'T IMPORTANT.
MOST IMPORTANT THING IS CHASING
THE NEXT HIGH.
I HAVE GOOD NEWS FOR YOU.
IF YOU ARE TRAPPED IN THIS.
JESUS CAME FOR YOU.
DON'T THINK HE CAME FOR THE
GOOD.
HE CAME FOR THE SINNERS.
THAT IS YOU.
THAT IS ME.
APOSTLE PAUL PUT IT PERFECTLY.
THIS SAYING IS TRUE AND WORTHY
OF ALL ACCEPTANCE THAT JESUS
CHRIST CAME TO SAVE SINNERS OF
WHOM I AM CHIEF.
WHEN YOU UNDERSTAND THAT AND
INCLUDE YOURSELF IN THAT GROUP,
THEN THERE IS A GREAT RELEASE.
YOU CAN REALLY UNDERSTAND THE
LOVE OF GOD.
THIS IS LOVE THAT WHILE WE WERE
YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US.
.
BECAUSE IF WE WERE GOOD, IF WE
WERE PERFECT THERE WOULD BE NO
NEED FOR HIM TO DIE.
IT IS BECAUSE WE NEEDED IT.
THAT IS WHY JESUS CAME.
AND THAT IS WHY HE SACRIFICED
HIMSELF.
AND ALL WE HAVE TO DO IS BELIEVE
IT.
CHRISTIANITY IS NOT SOME KIND OF
SET OF RULES WHERE GOD IS OVER
US AND GOING TO THROW THUNDER
BOLTS OUR WAY IF WE DON'T DO IT
RIGHT.
IT IS LOVE, IT IS RELATIONSHIP.
IT IS THE UNDERSTANDING THAT GOD
HIMSELF HAS BECOME OUR
SALVATION.
IT IS NOT BASED ON WHAT WE DO OR
OUR WORKS, IT IS BASED TOTALLY
ON WHAT JESUS DID.
NOW, RACHEL FOUND THAT.
SHE FOUND IT IN A REHAB CENTER.
SHE SAID I WANT THAT.
I WANT THAT NEW LIFE THAT JESUS
PROMISES.
I WANT TO BE SET FREE FROM MY
ADDICTION.
I WANT TO BE CLEANSED.
I WANT TO BE MADE NEW AGAIN.
WHEN SHE DID THAT AND WHEN SHE
SURRENDERED, THAT IS WHEN THE
CHANGE HAPPENED.
THAT CAN HAPPEN FOR YOU.
IF YOU JUST LET GOD DO IT.
NOW WITH SOME PEOPLE, IT IS
INSTANTANEOUS, LITERALLY, THEY
GO TO BED ONE NIGHT AND WAKE UP
THE NEXT MORNING AND NO MORE
DESIRE AND COMPULSION, THEY WALK
FREE FROM THAT MOMENT ON.
FOR OTHERS, IT IS A LONG
PROCESS.
IT IS FULL OF STUMBLES.
TAKE COMFORT, EVEN THOUGH YOU
STUMBLE, HE WON'T LET YOU FALL.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TURN BACK
TO HIM.
HE WON'T REJECT YOU, WON'T
DESPISE YOU OR TSA YOU OUT.
HIS PROMISE IS FOR YOU, HE'LL
NEVER LEAVE YOU, NEVER FORSAKE
YOU.
YOU ARE HIS CHILD.
HE MADE YOU AND WANTS YOU TO BE
WITH HIM FOR ALL ETERNITY.
SO IF THIS IS YOU, IF THIS IS
WHAT YOU WANT, ALL YOU HAVE TO
DO IS BOW YOUR HEAD, PRAY A VERY
SIMPLE PRAYER.
ASK JESUS TO SHOW UP FOR YOU.
IT IS A GREAT PRAYER, JESUS, IF
THIS IS REAL, IF YOU ARE REAL,
IF YOU CAN DELIVER ME IF YOU CAN
SAVE ME, WOULD YOU SHOW ME?
SO IF YOU WANT THAT, BOW YOUR
HEAD, CLOSE YOUR EYES, SAY A
SIMPLE PRAYER AND LET JESUS DO
FOR YOU WHAT HE HAS DONE FOR
OTHERS.
PRAY WITH ME.
JESUS, THAT'S RIGHT, SAY IT.
SAY IT OUT LOUD, JESUS.
I COME TO YOU AND I ASK RIGHT
NOW THAT YOU WOULD FORGIVE ME.
THAT YOU WOULD SET ME FREE.
THAT YOU WOULD RESTORE ME AND
GIVE ME A NEW LIFE AND JESUS, IF
YOU'LL DO THIS, IF YOU'LL SHOW
UP FOR ME RIGHT NOW, I PROMISE
THAT I WANT TO FOLLOW YOU ALL
THE DAYS OF MY LIFE.
SO JESUS, HEAR MY PRAYER.
SET ME FREE.
CLEANSE ME, FORGIVE ME, AND BE
WITH ME FOR I ASK IT ALL IN YOUR
NAME.
FATHER, FOR THOSE THAT JUST
PRAYED, I ASK YOU TO FILL THEM
TO OVERFLOWING WITH YOUR LOVE,
THAT THEIR PRAYER IS HEARD AND
ACCEPTED TODAY.
FOR THOSE WITH DRUG AND ALCOHOL
PROBLEMS, BREAK THE CHAINS OF
ADDICTIONS OVER THEIR LIVES AND
ASK THEM TO BE SET FREE FROM
THIS MOMENT FORWARD.
TAKE AWAY THE DESIRE, TAKE AWAY
THE COMPULSION, FOR I ASK IT ALL
IN JESUS' NAME AMEN.
IF YOU PRAYED WITH ME, DO THE
SAME THING RACHEL DID.
SHE SAID I ASKED JESUS INTO MY
LIFE, HE HAS SET ME FREE.
CONFESS THAT.
THE BIBLE SAYS IF WE BELIEVE IN
OUR HEARTS AND CONFESS WITH OUR
MOUTHS WE SHALL BE SAVED.
DO THAT.

TERRY: COMING UP NEXT,
GORDAN IS GOING TO ANSWER
VIEWER'S QUESTIONS, OUR PASTOR
BEGAN SECULAR MUSIC DURING
CHURCH, IS THIS OKAY?
STAY TUNED FOR THAT AND MORE, WE
ARE GOING TO BRING IT ON IN A
MOMENT.
TERRY: TIME FOR E-MAIL
QUESTIONS THIS FIRST ONE IS FROM
LEE WHO SAYS OUR PASTOR BEGAN
PLAYING SECULAR MUSIC BEFORE
SERVICE AND DURING ALTAR CALLS.
HE WANTED TO MAKE THE UNCHURCHED
FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE.
WE WERE ACCUSED OF BEING
IGNORANT.
ARE THERE SCRIPTURES THAT
SUPPORT THE PASTOR'S STANCE.
GORDAN: LEE, I AM SORRY
SOMEONE RESORTED TO NAME CALLING
SAYING YOU WERE IGNORANT OF THE
SCRIPTURES.
THAT HAS NO PLACE.
I APOLOGIZE TO YOU FOR THAT.
IN TERMS OF SCRIPTURAL SUPPORT
OF TRYING TO BE CONTEMPORARY OR
MAKE THE GOSPEL CULTURALLY
RELEVANT.
PLENTY OF THAT, 1 CORINTHIANS
CHAPTER 9:22 PAUL SAY I HAVE
BECOME ALL THINGS TO ALL MEN I
MAY WIN SOME.
WHEN YOU LOOK AT MISSIONS
HISTORY, I AM GOING TO ADOPT
CHINESE DRESS AND EAT LIKE THE
CHINESE AND DWELL LIKE THE
CHINESE AND SPEAK LIKE THE
CHINESE IN ORDER TO WIN THE
CHINESE, HE WAS VERY EFFECTIVE
IN ADOPTING THOSE METHODS.
NOW, YOU ARE NOT TELLING ME WHAT
MUSIC THE PASTOR IS PLAYING.
IF HE IS PLAYING LED ZEPPELIN IN
AN ALTAR CALL, I DON'T THINK I
WOULD GO ALONG WITH THAT ONE.
ANOTHER THING DISPUTES OVER
MUSIC ARE NOTHING NEW TO THE
CHURCH.
ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE THIRD
CENTURY WHEN THE CHURCH BECAME
LEGAL, CHURCHS IN ASIA MINOR
HATED BECAUSE THEY HAD DANCING.
THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR
THIS PROGRAM. LEAVE YOU WITH
PSALMS AS FOR GOD HIS WAY IS
PERFECT.
WORD OF LORD IS PERFECT.
HE IS A SHIELD TO ALL THAT TRUST
IN HIM.
