I AM SO CONCERNED ABOUT THE UNITED STATES.

Announcer: COMING UP ON LIFE TODAY,

PASTOR RICK RENNER COMPARES THE MODERN CHURCH

TO THE CHURCH OF THE FIRST CENTURY.

IN THE FIRST CENTURY,

BELIEVERS WERE NOT PERSECUTED FOR THEIR FAITH;

IT WAS NOT BECAUSE OF THEIR FAITH.

THE ROMAN CONSTITUTION GUARANTEED FAITH.

THEY WERE PERSECUTED BECAUSE THEY WERE VIEWED AS INTOLERANT.

Announcer: A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS

NEXT -- ON LIFE TODAY!

James: THANK ALL OF YOU

FOR BEING HERE.

IT'S ALWAYS GOOD TO SEE YOU.

THANKS FOR JOINING US

ON LIFE TODAY.

I'M JAMES ROBISON.

MY WIFE, BETTY,

AND I ARE THRILLED TO HAVE

RICK RENNER BACK WITH US.

HE IS THE PASTOR

OF THE LARGEST CHURCH IN RUSSIA

AND HE'S SUCH A GREAT MAN.

BETH MOORE TOLD ME AFTER

STUDYING SOME OF HIS THINGS

AND LOOKING AT THE WAY HE HAD

EXPOUNDED THE GREEK LANGUAGE;

SHE SAID, "I THINK THIS MAN

IS THE GREATEST GREEK SCHOLAR

I'VE EVER READ AFTER."

SHE SAID, "IT'S OBVIOUS HE WALKS

WITH TREMENDOUS HUMILITY."

I TOLD HER A LITTLE BIT

ABOUT RICK AND WHAT HE DID.

SHE WAS VERY, VERY IMPRESSED

WITH HIS BRILLIANT MIND

AND THE WAY IN WHICH HE TOOK

THE WORD OF GOD AND WITH

GRACIOUSNESS APPLIED IT.

I DON'T THINK

BETH HAS SEEN THIS BOOK.

Rick: SHE WROTE ME

A LETTER ABOUT IT.

James: DID SHE SEE IT?

Rick: SHE DID.

James: DID SHE LIKE IT?

Rick: I WILL SAVE

THAT LETTER FOREVER.

James: THIS IS RICK RENNER.

WOULD YOU WELCOME RICK RENNER

TO LIFE TODAY?

THAT'S AN ACKNOWLEDGMENT

OF THE WONDERFUL GIFT

GOD'S PUT WITHIN BETH.

WHAT A REALLY, EXPOSITOR

AND TEACHER OF TRUTH.

Rick: SHE IS TREMENDOUS.

James: SHE IS AND I CAN TELL

THAT MEANT A LOT TO YOU.

BETH, THANK YOU FOR DOING THAT.

SWEETHEART, YOU'RE

A CONSTANT ENCOURAGEMENT.

THIS IS FABULOUS.

IT IS IN THE BOOKSTORES.

IT IS A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS.

THIS IS THE TABLE BOOK

FOR EVERY CHRISTIAN HOME

AND THAT'S A LOT OF THEM.

IF A 100 MILLION CHRISTIAN HOMES

TAKE THIS BOOK, I'M GOING

TO WRITE YOU AN APPEAL LETTER

OVER IN RUSSIA AND SAY,

"HELP US IN AFRICA."

[Laughter]

WOULDN'T IT BE SO WONDERFUL

IF EVERYBODY WOULD GET THIS

BECAUSE OF THE INCREDIBLE

MESSAGE THAT'S IN IT.

I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW,

WE APPRECIATE YOU.

YOU'VE BEEN GRACIOUS ENOUGH

TO COME AND TALK ABOUT THE BOOK

THAT'S IN THE BOOKSTORES

RIGHT NOW THAT JAY RICHARDS,

A PH.D. FROM YALE,

WHO IS A CATHOLIC,

I'M PROTESTANT,

EVANGELICAL CHRISTIAN,

HE'S A CHRISTIAN,

HE KNOWS JESUS -- BY THE WAY,

WE KNOW A LOT OF PROTESTANTS,

I KNOW A LOT OF BAPTISTS

THAT DON'T KNOW JESUS.

THIS LITTLE GIRL WAS

A BAPTIST SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER

THAT DIDN'T KNOW JESUS

AND CAME TO KNOW JESUS; CAME OUT

OF THE CHOIR TO TRUST CHRIST.

A LOT OF CATHOLICS DON'T KNOW

JESUS, THEY JUST KNOW CHURCH;

PEOPLE IN ALL

THE DIFFERENT RELIGIOUS GROUPS.

JAY KNOWS JESUS, LOVES JESUS.

I LOVE JESUS.

WE WERE JOINED TOGETHER TO WRITE

THIS BOOK, INDIVISIBLE:

RESTORING FAITH, FAMILY, AND

FREEDOM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

AND REALLY INCLUDES

A HEALTHY FREE MARKET.

I WANT YOU TO LISTEN TO ME

BECAUSE WE'RE BEING

TAUGHT IN AMERICA THAT

THE FREE MARKET IS OUR ENEMY.

WE'RE CREATING A CLASS WARFARE.

LISTEN CLOSELY,

A HEALTHY FREE MARKET

IS GREED VULNERABLE

BUT NOT GREED DRIVEN

OR GREED DEPENDENT.

ALL FREEDOM IS POTENTIALLY

VULNERABLE TO ABUSE.

THAT'S ONE OF THE BEAUTIES

OF FREEDOM.

IF YOU WALK ON IT,

YOU CAN NEGLECT IT,

YOU CAN FAIL TO PROTECT IT.

BUT THE FREE MARKET IS LIKE THE

FERTILE FIELDS OF OPPORTUNITY

GOD GIVES US.

DON'T MAKE THE MISTAKE

OF MAKING THAT THE ENEMY.

DON'T WRITE OFF WHAT GOD BLESSES

BECAUSE OF THE ABUSE OF SOMEBODY

OR THE GREED OF SOMEONE.

BEWARE NOT ONLY OF GREED,

BEWARE OF ENVY AND COVETOUSNESS.

WELL, PASTOR RICK RENNER

HAS AGREED TO TALK

ABOUT INDIVISIBLE.

SO PEOPLE RESPECT YOU,

YOU ARE A BRILLIANT MAN

WHO HAS FAR MORE

EDUCATION CREDENTIALS THAN I DO.

YOU'VE READ INDIVISIBLE,

YOUR TAKE.

Rick: WELL, THE FIRST THING I DO

WHEN I LOOK AT A BOOK LIKE THIS

AND I'VE BEEN WAITING

FOR THIS BOOK.

YOU AND I HAVE TALKED ABOUT THIS

FOR TWO YEARS.

SO WHEN I GET A BOOK LIKE THIS,

WHICH I KNOW IS SUPPOSED TO BE

A SERIOUS WORK,

I'M NOT INTERESTED

IN THESE PAGES

UNTIL I LOOK AT THESE PAGES

IN THE BACK.

I WANT TO KNOW HOW DOCUMENTED

IS THIS BOOK?

YOU'VE GOT MORE

THAN 40 PAGES OF FOOTNOTES

AT THE BACK OF THIS BOOK.

EVERYTHING IN THIS BOOK

HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIATED.

THIS BOOK IS JUST AMAZING.

THE DOCUMENTATION IN THIS BOOK

ABOUT OUR FOUNDERS,

THE FACTS ABOUT

WHERE WE ARE HEADED AS A NATION,

IT'S JUST TREMENDOUS.

EVERYBODY SHOULD GET THIS BOOK.

James: REALLY, I PRAY

THAT WE ARE ABLE TO RECOGNIZE

THE ERROR OF OUR WAY

AND REALIZE THAT CORRECTION

IS MORE THAN JUST AN ELECTION

BUT REFOCUSING OUR COMPASS

TO TRUE NORTH;

RETURNING TO THE STANDARD,

NOT TRYING TO MOVE THE STANDARD

BUT GET BACK TO IT --

THAT'S IN THE LETTER

TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES,

THE MESSAGE IS REPENT.

YOU AND I KNOW

TRUE REPENTANCE IS NOT

JUST A CHANGE OF DIRECTION,

IT INCLUDES A CHANGE OF MIND.

WE'VE GOT TO CHANGE

THE WAY WE BELIEVE.

THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN

TO ADDRESS EVERY MAJOR ISSUE

AND FOCAL POINT IN AMERICA

FROM A BIBLICAL

FOUNDATIONAL PERSPECTIVE TO TRY

TO HELP US GET BACK ON TRACK.

I THINK THERE IS HOPE

THAT WE'LL GET THERE.

Rick: YOU PAINT A PICTURE

IN THIS BOOK

OF SOMEBODY LAYING ON THE BEACH.

I'M SURE YOU KNOW

WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

THEY'RE LAYING ON THE BEACH

AND THEY DON'T KNOW

THAT A TSUNAMI HAS HAPPENED.

ALL THEY KNOW IS THAT SUDDENLY

THE WATER IS PULLING BACK

AND THEY LAY THERE ON THE BEACH,

TOTALLY UNAWARE OF WHAT IS ABOUT

TO COME BACK AND HIT THEM.

AS I WAS READING THIS BOOK

I THOUGHT, YOU KNOW

HE HAS REALLY HIT THIS ON.

GOD TRULY JOINED YOU

WITH THE CORRECT WRITER

FOR THIS BOOK.

James: WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT

-- YOU'VE BEEN ALL OVER

THE WORLD IN MISSIONS,

YOU'RE WORKING

IN A FORMER COMMUNIST COUNTRY,

YOU'RE IN MOSCOW, YOU HAVE

THE LARGEST CHURCH THERE.

YOU SHARED EARLIER IN THE WEEK

THAT YOU NOW HAVE A 20% BLOCK

OF INFLUENCE ON ELECTIONS.

Rick: THE PROTESTANTS.

James: THE PROTESTANTS DO,

WHICH IS JUST A MIRACLE.

THIS IS PEOPLE --

A TOTAL MIRACLE.

IT'S A BIG CHANGE THERE.

WHEN YOU LOOK

AT OUR SITUATION HERE AND YOU

LOOK IN, WHAT DO YOU SEE WHEN

YOU LOOK AT AMERICA RIGHT NOW?

Rick: WELL, I'VE ALWAYS

BEEN A LITTLE HESITANT TO SAY

WHAT I SEE BECAUSE THERE ARE

DIFFERENT REACTIONS FROM PEOPLE.

SOME PEOPLE THINK I'M NEGATIVE

IF I REALLY EXPRESS WHAT I SEE.

BUT I AM SO CONCERNED

ABOUT THE UNITED STATES.

WE HAVE DRIFTED FAR VERY FAST.

James: WOULD YOU SAY THE CARDS

ARE STACKED FOR COLLAPSE?

Rick: YES, I WOULD.

IN EVERY WAY.

James: MORAL,

ECONOMICALLY, POLITICALLY?

Rick: DENISE AND I COME ABOUT

ONCE EVERY SIX MONTHS,

AND JAMES AND BETTY,

I'M TELLING YOU,

IN A SIX MONTH PERIOD,

DENISE AND I CAN SEE

A VISIBLE DIFFERENCE

IN THE NATION BETWEEN TRIPS.

AND WHEN WE COME BACK

OUR MOUTHS JUST DROP OPEN,

ESPECIALLY WHEN

WE WATCH TELEVISION.

AMERICAN TELEVISION IS FRIGHTFUL

WHAT IS BEING PRODUCED,

PROMOTED --

James: IT MOCKS THE SACRED.

IT MOCKS ANYTHING PERTAINING

TO MORAL EXCELLENCE, PURITY,

COMMITMENT AND MARRIAGE.

IT MOCKS THE SACRED --

IT MOCKS GOD.

Rick: IT MOCKS IT

AND THERE IS AN AGENDA TO DO IT.

THERE IS AN AGENDA

TO PROFANE ANYTHING

THAT IS HOLY, TO CHANGE THE WAY

THAT PEOPLE THINK.

I THINK ABOUT THE LITTLE

CHILDREN THAT ARE GROWING UP

IN KINDERGARTEN RIGHT NOW,

THEY'RE GOING TO BE SO CONFUSED

ABOUT WHAT IS RIGHT

AND WHAT IS WRONG.

Betty: WHAT DO YOU SEE

WHEN YOU COME BACK

AND SEE THE CHURCH?

ARE WE IN SUCH A DEEP SLEEP?

Rick: I SEE TWO THINGS

IN THE CHURCH.

I SEE THAT THERE IS A GROUP

IN THE CHURCH

THAT IS WATERING DOWN

THE WORD SO MUCH THAT

I'M NOT EVEN SURE WHEN I SAY,

"OPEN YOUR BIBLES

TO SUCH-AND-SUCH IN THE BIBLE"

PEOPLE IN THE CROWD

KNOW WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT.

AS A BIBLE TEACHER,

IT'S REALLY BAD

IF YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT

A BOOK OF THE BIBLE

AND YOU FEEL LIKE

THE CROWD DOESN'T KNOW

WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

THEN I SEE ANOTHER GROUP

WHO IS AWAKENED TO WHERE WE ARE

AND THEY ARE PRESSING IN

WITH ALL OF THEIR MIGHT.

I BELIEVE THAT GOD'S

GOING TO ANSWER THE PRAYERS

OF THOSE PEOPLE.

James: YOU COME FROM

A COLLECTIVIST, STATIST,

COMMUNIST, MARXIST WORLD

WHERE YOU FELT --

JESUS TALKED ABOUT

THE WEIGHT OF THE KINGDOM,

THE PRESENCE OF THE KINGDOM.

WE KNOW THERE IS

THE KINGDOM TO COME

BUT HE PRAYED THY KINGDOM COME,

THY WILL BE DONE ON EARTH NOW

AS THOUGH IT IS POSSIBLE.

HE PRAYED AND TAUGHT US TO PRAY

FOR THAT WHICH IS POSSIBLE,

THEREFORE IMPORTANT.

SO THE WEIGHT OF GOD'S PRESENCE

CAN IMPACT PLANET EARTH.

THE WEIGHT OF THE KINGDOM

OF DARKNESS CAN IMPRINT KINGDOM

IN THE EARTHLY DOMAIN.

THE KINGDOM OF DECEPTION

AND DARKNESS MADE A HEAVY

FOOTPRINT ON THE SOVIET UNION,

ON RUSSIA; RIGHT?

Rick: YES, IT DID.

James: WOULD YOU SAY THAT

THAT SOCIALIST COLLECTIVIST

POWER BASE

THAT KILLED MILLIONS OF PEOPLE

AND HELD OTHERS IN BONDAGE

AND THE LITTLE CUBICLE BOX-LIKE

PUTTING EVERYBODY IN THE SAME

LITTLE CONTAINER ALMOST,

THE WAY THE ARCHITECTURE

EVEN CHANGED FROM THE GRANDEUR

THAT YOU COULD SEE

BEFORE THE DOMINION

OF THIS KINGDOM OF DARKNESS.

WOULD YOU SAY WHEN YOU LOOK

AT THIS LAND,

THIS LAND OF THE FREE

AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE,

THIS INCREDIBLE BLESSED,

PROSPEROUS, BENEVOLENT NATION

THAT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD

HAVE WANTED TO COME TO

AND TO BE IN THE LIGHT OF

THIS PROSPEROUS COMMUNITY

AND ATMOSPHERE,

DO YOU SEE THE TENTACLES,

THE FOOTPRINT, THE WEIGHT

OF THAT KINGDOM OF DECEPTION

IN EVER INCREASING

SOCIALISM HERE?

WHEN YOU COME IN,

DOES IT APPEAR APPARENT TO YOU?

Rick: YES, IT DOES.

AND SOCIALISM

IS A FAILED EXPERIMENT.

WHY IN THE WORLD

WOULD WE EVEN TRY TO GO

IN THAT DIRECTION?

ALL YOU HAVE TO DO

IS LOOK EVERYWHERE

IT HAS BEEN ATTEMPTED,

IT DOES NOT WORK.

IT TAKES AWAY

PEOPLE'S INDIVIDUALITY.

IN THE SOVIET UNION

EVERYONE HAD THE SAME.

IS THAT WHAT WE WANT?

James: IT'S NOT THE WAY

GOD CREATES ANYTHING,

BECAUSE HE DOESN'T MAKE

ANY FINGERPRINTS THE SAME

OR ANY SNOW FLAKES THE SAME.

Rick: THEY HAD THE SAME CAR.

IF YOU BOUGHT DISHES

FOR YOUR HOUSE, THEY WERE

THE SAME DISHES THAT ARE IN

YOUR NEIGHBOR'S APARTMENT.

IF YOU BOUGHT A BED,

IT'S THE SAME BED THAT'S IN

YOUR NEIGHBOR'S APARTMENT.

IF YOU BOUGHT A HUTCH,

IT'S GOING TO BE THE SAME ONE

IN YOUR NEIGHBOR'S APARTMENT

BECAUSE EVERYBODY GOT THE SAME.

James: DOESN'T THAT SOUND --

DOESN'T IT JUST MAKE YOU

WANT TO GO HIP-HIP HOORAY!

HOW INSANE CAN WE BE

THAT WE WOULD FOLLOW THAT

BECAUSE WE ARE HEADED THAT WAY?

Rick: WHEN DENISE

AND I FIRST MOVED THERE,

JAMES, WE NEEDED TO BUY A COUCH.

WE WENT TO THE FURNITURE STORE,

WHICH WE THOUGHT

WAS A FURNITURE STORE;

WE FOUND OUT

IT WAS A MUSEUM OF FURNITURE

AND WE FOUND A COUCH

THAT WE WANTED TO ORDER.

I WAS WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE

AND I ASKED,

"WHEN WILL IT BE DELIVERED?"

AND THEY SAID, "TWO YEARS."

I SAID, "TWO YEARS?"

THEY SAID,

"THAT'S FAST DELIVERY."

[Laughter]

THAT SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK --

IT DOES NOT WORK.

James: WELL, WE'RE RAPIDLY

RACING IN THAT DIRECTION.

AND I KNOW YOU THINK

THAT SOUNDS FARFETCHED

BUT IT'S NOT.

HERE'S THE THING

THAT DISTURBS ME.

IT'S AS THOUGH PEOPLE WILL BE

LOOKING IN AT US AND SAYING,

"WHY DON'T YOU PREACHERS

JUST READ US THE BIBLE?"

BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT LIVING

THE BIBLE,

YOU'RE NOT DOERS OF THE WORD.

AT BEST YOU HEAR IT BUT

YOU NEVER PIERCE THE DARKNESS.

YOU JUST SIT THERE AND BLOAT

OR WHATEVER YOUR SPIRITUALITY.

HOW IS IT THAT WE CAN BE

SALT AND LIGHT

AND LOSE OUR EFFECT

AND JESUS SAID,

"YOU'RE GOOD FOR NOTHING

BUT TO BE TRAMPLED ON"?

WE'RE IN THE PROCESS

OF SEEING ALL OF OUR FREEDOMS

AND OUR LIBERTY

BEING TRAMPLED ON

BY AN EVER INCREASING STATISM

AND POWER AND EVER-INCREASING,

ALL-PROMISING,

ALL-PROVIDENT GOVERNMENT --

Rick: WHICH YOU DESCRIBED

VERY WELL IN THIS BOOK.

James: IS IT ANOTHER TYPE

OF PHARAOH?

IS IT ANOTHER TYPE

OF THE SHADOW OF EGYPT

WE'RE BASICALLY DEPENDING UPON

AND WE'RE GOING TO FIND

OURSELVES IN BONDAGE?

IS THAT BASICALLY

WHAT IS HAPPENING?

Rick: I THINK SO.

AND IN THIS BOOK YOU LIKEN IT

TO WHAT WAS HAPPENING

IN THE FIRST AND SECOND CENTURY

WITH THE ROMAN STATE

AND HOW THE ROMAN STATE

HAD ITS HANDS IN EVERYTHING.

YOU KNOW SOMETHING

THAT IS HAPPENING TODAY --

YOU KNOW HISTORY REPEATS ITSELF.

THE FIRST CENTURY BELIEVERS --

ONE OF THE REASONS --

BELIEVERS WERE NOT PERSECUTED

FOR THEIR FAITH.

IT WAS NOT BECAUSE

OF THEIR FAITH.

THE ROMAN CONSTITUTION

GUARANTEED FAITH.

THEY WERE PERSECUTED

BECAUSE THEY WERE VIEWED

AS "INTOLERANT" BECAUSE

THEY TOOK A DIFFERENT STANDARD

THAN THE REST OF SOCIETY.

THEY WOULDN'T GO TO THE THEATER.

THEY BELIEVED

IN A WALK OF HOLINESS,

AND THE GOVERNMENT SAID,

"THESE PEOPLE REFUSE TO COMPLY."

THE CONFLICT WAS NOT OVER FAITH,

IT WAS NON-COMPLIANCE

TO WHAT THE REST OF SOCIETY

WANTED TO DO.

IN A VERY REAL WAY THERE IS

A CONFLICT OF KINGDOMS RIGHT NOW

AND THE WORLD IS SAYING,

"CHRISTIANS ARE INTOLERANT."

ISN'T THAT WHAT

THEY SAY ABOUT US?

James: CALL US "HATE MONGERS"

IF YOU JUST SAY CERTAIN THINGS

ARE NOT BIBLICALLY CORRECT,

THEY'RE NOT MORALLY

IN LINE IN SCRIPTURE.

THEY'RE NOT EVEN IN LINE

WITH NATURAL EXPRESSIONS.

AND SO IF YOU SAY

THIS IS SIMPLY OUT OF LINE,

THEN YOU'RE A HATE MONGER.

THERE ARE PEOPLE IN CANADA

BEING ARRESTED FOR SAYING

CERTAIN PRACTICES

ARE AGAINST THE MORAL PRINCIPLES

IN THE WORD OF GOD.

WE SAY HERE,

"RESTORING FAITH, FAMILY, AND

FREEDOM BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE"

BUT HERE'S WHAT

I FIRMLY BELIEVE.

THE ONLY PEOPLE ON PLANET EARTH,

WHO CAN RESTORE

THE NECESSARY FOUNDATION,

THE ONLY PEOPLE --

NOW GET THIS --

THE ONLY PEOPLE

IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

WHO CAN SAVE THIS NATION FROM

THE CATASTROPHIC CONSEQUENCES

FOR ROTTEN DECISIONS

WITH OUR FISTS

IN THE FACE OF A HOLY GOD,

REBELLING AGAINST HIS TRUTH

AND HIS WORD, THE ONLY PEOPLE

WHO CAN RIGHT THE SHIP OF STATE,

WHO CAN CORRECT THE COURSE

FROM THE PERILOUS DIRECTION,

FROM THE CONTINUAL DECLINE

INTO A NEW WAY OF HOPE

AND SAFE HARBOR ARE THE PEOPLE

WHO UNDERSTAND THE IMPORTANCE

OF FAITH, FAMILY, AND FREEDOM.

AND THAT INCLUDES

THE FREE MARKET THINKERS

BECAUSE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO

KEEP THE FREE MARKET OPPORTUNITY

IF THEY DON'T COME TO UNDERSTAND

IN THEIR CONSERVATIVE

ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVE

THE ABSOLUTE IMPORTANCE

OF MORAL INTEGRITY

AND SOCIAL CONCERNS THAT EVERY

CARING PERSON SHOULD ADDRESS.

SO IF PEOPLE OF FAITH

DON'T COME TOGETHER,

IF PEOPLE WHO SAY

THEY LOVE FAMILY

AND BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT,

PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND FREEDOM,

WHICH MEANS LIBERTY

AND RESPONSIBILITY,

NOT JUST LICENSE,

BUT ASSUMING RESPONSIBILITY,

IF THESE GROUPS

DON'T COME TOGETHER

AND GET ABOVE THE WALLS

AND GET BACK UP HERE

ON THE SOLID TERRA FIRMA,

THE SOLID GROUND,

WE'RE GOING TO LOSE THE SHIP.

WE'RE GOING TO HIT THE ICEBERGS,

WE'RE GOING TO HAVE

A THREE DIMENSIONAL SINKING

OF THE TITANIC SHIP OF STATE.

DO YOU AGREE

LOOKING IN FROM RUSSIA?

Rick: YES! IN FACT,

IN THESE 20 YEARS

SINCE THIS NEW RUSSIA EMERGED,

FREEDOM OF RELIGION HAS BEEN

A VERY BIG ISSUE, OF COURSE.

IF THE MORMONS

COME UNDER ATTACK,

WE DON'T VIEW THIS

AS A THEOLOGICAL ISSUE.

IF THEY CAN BE ATTACKED,

WE CAN BE ATTACKED.

WE COME TOGETHER;

WE DO WHATEVER WE CAN

TO PUBLICLY SUPPORT THEM.

MAYBE THEY HAVE

A DIFFERENT VIEW, THAT'S FINE.

THEY HAVE A RIGHT TO BELIEVE

WHAT THEY WANT TO BELIEVE.

James: AND IF YOU'RE EVER GOING

TO DISCUSS THE DIFFERENCES

IN A WHOLESOME POSITIVE WAY

YOU HAVE TO HAVE THE GROUND

UPON WHICH TO DO IT

AND THAT'S FREEDOM.

Rick: SO WE COME TOGETHER

ON THE BASIS OF FREEDOM;

THE FREEDOM TO --

YOU TALK ABOUT FREE MARKET,

HOW ABOUT FREE THINKING.

THAT HAS TO BE DEFENDED.

James: AND THE STAGE

IS SET RIGHT NOW TO FORCE IN

SOCIALIZED MEDICINE ON US,

GOVERNMENT TAKING CARE

OF EVERYBODY.

DO YOU THINK THE SOCIALIZED

TRENDS WE'VE GOT EVEN IN

OUR MEDICINE AND HEALTH CARE,

DO YOU THINK THAT'S A --

Rick: IT'S RIDICULOUS!

LET ME TAKE YOU TO

A SOCIAL HOSPITAL AND SHOW YOU

HOW SOCIAL MEDICINE WORKS.

NO ONE WOULD WALK INTO

AN OLD SOVIET HOSPITAL

WOULD WANT TO GO THERE.

NOBODY WOULD TRADE

WHAT WE HAVE HERE FOR THAT.

James: LISTEN TO ME,

AND DON'T MISS THIS

AND REALLY, GET THE CONTENT.

CUT TO THE CHASE.

LISTEN TO ME.

WE DON'T HAVE

A SINGLE HEALTH ISSUE,

WE DON'T HAVE

A SINGLE ISSUE OF AGING,

WE DON'T HAVE A SINGLE CHALLENGE

IN THIS NATION OF OURS, AMERICA,

THAT GOD'S PEOPLE,

CO-CREATORS WITH GOD,

SUBMITTED TO GOD

AND HIS WISDOM AND HIS SHADOW,

HIS SHELTER, HIS SECURITY,

THAT WE CAN'T COME TOGETHER

AND SOLVE.

WE DON'T HAVE AN ENERGY PROBLEM

WE CAN'T SOLVE.

WE DON'T HAVE AN ECONOMIC

PROBLEM WE CAN'T SOLVE.

WE DON'T HAVE TAX PROBLEMS

WE CAN'T SOLVE IF WE REVAMP

A DILAPIDATED SYSTEM

THAT NOBODY CAN EVEN UNDERSTAND.

WE'VE GOT TO MAKE

SOME CORRECTIONS.

DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?

WE'VE GOT TO PUT --

YOU'VE GOT 500

AND SOME ODD PEOPLE

THAT DETERMINE THE DIRECTION

OF YOUR COUNTRY --

ACTUALLY, YOU'VE ONLY GOT

ABOUT 300 THAT DO.

WE'VE GOT TO FIND PEOPLE

WHO UNDERSTAND

THE PRINCIPLES ESSENTIAL

TO CORRECT OUR COURSE.

WE HAVE TO FIND THAT LEADERSHIP.

AND WE, THE PEOPLE,

HAVE TO SUPPORT THAT LEADERSHIP

TO MAKE THE NECESSARY CORRECTION

AND ALL OF US, NOT SOME OF US,

ALL OF US HAVE TO BE WILLING

TO TAKE THE LOAD OF SACRIFICE

IF NECESSARY TO DO IT;

NOT TO GIVE THE GOVERNMENT

MORE MONEY TO MISUSE

OR TO MISMANAGE OR TO WASTE

OR TO JUST KEEP

INCREASING THE BUDGET.

WE'VE GOT TO START BRINGING IT

UNDER CONTROL, AND IT'S GOING

TO TAKE EVERYBODY DOING IT.

QUIT DIVIDING UP

INTO DIFFERENT CLASSES --

DON'T DO IT!

LET'S COME TOGETHER.

WE CAN DO IT.

ANYBODY OUT HERE

IN THIS AUDIENCE AGREE WITH ME?

DO YOU BELIEVE

WE CAN COME TOGETHER AND WE

CAN BE A CITY SET ON A HILL?

PASTOR, I'M REALLY PRAYING

THAT PEOPLE WILL HEAR

NOT JUST MY HEART CRY

BUT GOD'S HEART CRY TO COME

TO THE SHELTER AND SHADOW.

I SEE JESUS

AS HE LOOKED OVER JERUSALEM,

LOOKING AT AMERICA

AND SAYING, "HOW I LONG

THAT YOU WOULD COME TO ME

LIKE CHICKS

TO THE WINGS OF THE HEN."

I DON'T THINK IT IS TOO LATE

FOR AMERICA

BUT I THINK IT IS MUCH LATER

THAN MOST PEOPLE THINK.

LOOKING IN, DO YOU AGREE?

Rick: YES, SIR, I DO!

James: GET YOUR PEOPLE

PRAYING FOR US IN RUSSIA.

WOULD YOU DO THAT?

Rick: YES, I WILL.

James: THERE'S RICK RENNER'S

WEB SITE.

YOU MAY WANT TO FIND OUT

WHAT'S GOING ON THERE IN MOSCOW,

GO OVER AND MINISTER WITH HIM.

YOU MAY WANT TO GO AND SEE

AND MAY WANT TO SUPPORT THEM.

BETTY, ONE OF THE GREAT JOYS

WE HAVE IS RESCUING PEOPLE

FROM BONDAGE AND RIGHT NOW

THE SEXUAL BONDAGE IS HOLDING

SO MANY CHILDREN CAPTIVE,

AND SO MANY WOMEN.

WE CAN SET PEOPLE FREE

IF WE'LL JOIN HANDS.

I WANT YOU TO WATCH CLOSELY,

THEN LET'S MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER.

WATCH IT.

Announcer: OUR MISSIONARY PARTNERS IN NEPAL

ARE MOTIVATED BY LOVE AS THEY SEEK TO REACH CHILDREN

WHO ARE AT RISK OF BEING TRAFFICKED

INTO THE SEX SLAVE TRADE.

KNOWING THAT CHILDREN ARE LITERALLY TRAFFICKED EVERY DAY

MOTIVATES THEM TO TRAVEL

INTO THE FAR REACHES OF REMOTE MOUNTAIN AREAS

AND DOWN TO THE DEPTH OF THE CITY SLUMS.

Giselle: WE WORK TOGETHER HERE.

THIS IS DHRUBA AND WE COME OUT TO THESE SLUMS WITH OUR TEAM

AND TRY TO GO OUT AND HELP ALL OF THESE CHILDREN

THAT RIGHT NOW ARE IN DANGER OF BEING TRAFFICKED.

Announcer: THIS DAY WAS NO EXCEPTION FOR OUR TEAM

AS THEY LEARNED ABOUT A MOTHER NAMED SUMA AND HER DAUGHTER SHEPA

WHO ARE IN A BATTLE TO SURVIVE, NOT ONLY GRINDING POVERTY

BUT THE DANGERS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKERS.

Giselle: SUMA AND SHEPA ARE JUST BARELY SURVIVING.

IT IS FREEZING HERE.

THEIR CONDITIONS ARE SO HORRIBLE.

SUMA, THE MOTHER IS FORCED TO SELL HERSELF.

SHE HAS BEEN SELLING HERSELF EVERY NIGHT

TO TRAFFICKERS IN THE SLUM AREA

JUST TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE SOMETHING TO EAT

FOR LITTLE SHEPA.

THE TRAFFICKERS HAVE ALREADY ASKED THE MOTHER

IF THEY COULD TAKE HER.

AT ANY MOMENT, THESE TRAFFICKERS COULD COME THROUGH

AND STEAL SHEPA FROM HER AND SHE'LL NEVER SEE HER AGAIN.

THIS MOTHER IS CRYING OUT TO US TO HELP HER,

TO TAKE HER LITTLE GIRL AND PUT HER SOMEWHERE SAFE.

AND MY TERROR IS THAT I'M GOING TO COME BACK

AND WALK THROUGH THAT SLUM AND I'M GOING TO FIND SUMA

AND I'M NOT GOING TO SEE SHEPA ANYMORE.

IF WE CAN JUST GO IN THERE AND PROVIDE A SAFE HOME FOR HER,

WE WILL SEE HER AGAIN.

James: BETTY, CAN YOU

IMAGINE A MOTHER SAYING,

"PLEASE COME TAKE MY CHILD

BECAUSE SOME PREDATOR

IS GOING TO GET MY CHILD?"

Betty: THE DESPERATION OF IT --

AND WHAT MOTHER WOULD WANT

THEIR CHILD TAKEN FROM THEM?

BUT SHE KNOWS THE DANGER AND

WHAT CAN HAPPEN TO HER, THAT

SHE WILL BE TAKEN AWAY FROM HER

AND PUT INTO THIS LIFESTYLE,

THAT THE POOR THING WILL

BE ABUSED AND MISTREATED

AND TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF,

AND NEVER HAVE A LIFE

THAT A CHILD SHOULD HAVE.

James: I'M JUST ASKING YOU

TO BE AN ANSWER

TO THE HEART CRY OF THAT MOTHER.

WE WANT TO PROVIDE

A LIFE CENTER, A HAVEN,

A SAFE SECURE PLACE IN NEPAL,

WHICH IS WHERE CHILDREN

ARE MOST VULNERABLE

BECAUSE OF POVERTY,

TO BE TAKEN AS A PRISONER,

TAKEN INTO INDIA AND USED

AS A SEX SLAVE ALL THEIR LIFE.

WE'RE ASKING YOU TO HELP US

BUILD THAT LIFE CENTER.

WE NEED OVER $200,000.

THERE COULD BE 200 PEOPLE

WATCHING TODAY THAT WOULD SAY,

"I WILL GIVE $1,000."

LET ME TELL YOU SOME GOOD NEWS.

YOUR GIFT WILL ACTUALLY BE

MATCHED THAT YOU GIVE TODAY.

IT WILL BE DOUBLED.

WE'RE ASKING MANY OF YOU

TO HELP US RESCUE HUNDREDS

AND HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN

OUT OF THE SEX TRADE,

WOMEN OUT OF THE SEX TRADE.

WE'RE ACTUALLY PUTTING THEM

TO WORK WHERE THEY'RE MAKING

BEAUTIFUL NECKLACES

AND GIVING THEM A TRADE.

THEY ARE SO THANKFUL.

WE WANT TO SEND

ONE OF THESE NECKLACES TO YOU

IF YOU'LL MAKE A GIFT

TO HELP RESCUE SOMEONE,

TO SAY THANK YOU.

WE'RE ASKING YOU

TO MAKE A GIFT OF $128 BECAUSE

THAT'S THE AVERAGE IT COSTS

TO RESCUE SOMEONE

OUT OF THE SEX TRADE;

THEN WE WANT TO BUILD

THE LIFE CENTER.

SO WE'VE GOT TWO GOALS:

RESCUE AS MANY AS WE CAN,

BUILD A LIFE CENTER WHERE WE CAN

HELP RESCUE LITTLE CHILDREN

JUST LIKE THE ONE YOU HEARD

THE MOTHER TALKING ABOUT;

GIVE THEM A HOME,

GIVE THEM A SAFE HAVEN.

WOULD YOU HELP US DO THAT?

FATHER, I PRAY

EVERY PERSON WATCHING,

PLEASE, LORD,

TOUCH THEIR HEART TO MOVE.

MAY THEY BE MOVED

WITH YOUR COMPASSION

AND REACH OUT AND TOUCH SOMEONE

WITH YOUR LOVE.

IN JESUS' NAME.

YOUR GIFT WILL GIVE SOMEONE

A CHANCE.

WOULD YOU TAKE YOUR BANKCARD

AS YOU DIAL THAT NUMBER?

WOULD YOU MAKE A GIFT TO HELP US

BUILD THAT LIFE CENTER?

WOULD YOU MAKE A GIFT

TO HELP US RESCUE ONE OF THOSE

PRECIOUS PEOPLE OR CHILDREN,

ONE OF THOSE WOMEN?

YOUR GIFT WILL BE DOUBLED;

THAT MEANS A $64 GIFT WILL

REACH THE $128 THAT'S NEEDED.

WOULD YOU PLEASE MAKE THAT CALL?

WE'RE GOING TO SEND YOU

THE BOOK, INDIVISIBLE

THAT I REALLY BELIEVE

EVERYTHING YOU CARE ABOUT,

THAT YOU'RE CONCERNED ABOUT,

IS ADDRESSED WITH ANSWERS

AND DIRECTION FROM GOD.

I REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT.

WE WANT TO SEND IT TO YOU

TO SAY THANK YOU.

ENCOURAGE OTHERS TO GET A COPY,

YOUR PASTORS, YOUR LEADERS,

YOUR CHURCH FAMILIES

AND YOUR FRIENDS.

WE'LL BE SENDING THE BEAUTIFUL

"LION AND THE LAMB" BRONZE

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO WILL HELP US

BUILD THAT LIFE CENTER.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THE CALL.

YOU CAN GO ONLINE

LifeToday.org IF YOU'D LIKE

GOD PUTS ON YOUR HEART.

THANK YOU FOR DOING IT.

Announcer: HUMAN TRAFFICKING... IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE

AND WE CAN ALSO BUILD THE NEW HOPE LIFE CENTER IN NEPAL,

WHICH WILL BE A SAFE HOUSE FOR CHILDREN FOR YEARS TO COME.

AND NOW A MIRACLE OPPORTUNITY OF $384,000 MATCHING GIFT

YOU WILL FIND IT A TREASURE

BECAUSE IT TAKES YOU

THROUGH THE NEW TESTAMENT,

THE SEVEN MESSAGES

TO THE SEVEN CHURCHES.

THIS IS THE FIRST TWO, AND THIS

IS AN ABSOLUTE BEAUTIFUL BOOK

YOU WILL TREASURE AND IT WILL

INSPIRE YOU BEYOND WORDS.
