WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS
HELLO, I'M FRANK WRIGHT.
WELCOME TO KENNEDY CLASSICS, A
VIEWER-SUPPORTED OUTREACH OF D. JAMES
KENNEDY MINISTRIES.
IN THE NEW YEAR, MAKE SURE TO VISIT OUR MINISTRY
WEBSITE, WHERE YOU'LL FIND A RICH LIBRARY OF DIGITAL,
AUDIO, VIDEO, AND PRINT RESOURCES.
IT'S ALL AVAILABLE AT DJKM.ORG.
HAVE YOU EVER HAD TO EXPLAIN THE MEANING OF
SOME THING TO A PERSON WHO KNOWS NOTHING ABOUT IT?
MANY OF US HAVE HAD THAT EXPERIENCE TYPICALLY WITH
SMALL CHILDREN, WHO HAVE AN ENDLESS SURPLUS OF
QUESTIONS- SOMETIMES ABOUT THINGS THAT CAN BE VERY
CHALLENGING TO EXPLAIN.
ONE APPROACH WE OFTEN USE IN THESE CASES IS THAT OF
DESCRIPTION.
WE DESCRIBE THE PHYSICAL ATTRIBUTES OR
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE THING SO THAT OTHERS CAN
FORM A MENTAL IMAGE BASED ON THOSE QUALITIES.
ANOTHER APPROACH IS TO COMPARE AND CONTRAST THOSE
ATTRIBUTES WITH OTHER THINGS, SO THAT OTHERS CAN
SEE THOSE DISTINCTIONS AND BETTER UNDERSTAND THEM.
IN SOME CASES WE DEFINE SOMETHING BY LOOKING AT
ITS OPPOSITE.
THIS BRINGS EVEN MORE CLARITY, AS WE CONSIDER
WHAT THE THING IS NOT.
NATURALLY, WE CAN BETTER ACCOMPLISH OUR GOAL OF
DEFINING SOMETHING WHEN THE WORDS WE USE HAVE
CLEAR MEANINGS.
BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAKE UP EINSTEIN TO SEE THAT WE
NO LONGER LIVE IN A WORLD WHERE THAT IS TRUE.
MANY WORDS TODAY NO LONGER HAVE CLEAR AND UNIVERSALLY
AGREED UPON MEANINGS.
AND IN SOME CASES THESE CHANGING MEANINGS ARE
COMPLETELY DISINGENUOUS AND ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A
RADICAL AGENDA.
OUR PROGRAM TODAY SPEAKS TO THIS VERY QUESTION.
HERE IS DR. D. JAMES KENNEDY WITH HIS MESSAGE:
"A NEW TOLERANCE."
AND NOW MAY WE HEAR THE WORD OF GOD AS IT'S FOUND
IN THE 5TH CHAPTER OF THE BOOK OF ISAIAH.
ISAIAH CHAPTER 5, WE SHALL BEGIN OUR READING WITH
VERSE 16.
THE INFALLIBLE WORD OF THE LIVING GOD.
AND MAY GOD SPEAK TO US FROM THIS BRIEF READING OF
HIS HOLY WORD AND MAY HIS NAME EVER BE PRAISED AMEN.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT, LIKE THE GROUNDHOG, TO
EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE TO STICK OUR HEADS UP, LOOK
AROUND AND FIND OUT WHAT IS GOING ON.
AND IN CASE SOME OF YOU MISSED IT, WE JUST PASSED
INTO A TOTALLY NEW AGE.
WE PASSED THROUGH THE AGE OF MODERNITY, MODERNISM,
AND WE ARE NOW IN THE POST-MODERN AGE.
YOU MAY REMEMBER THAT MODERNISM, RATIONALISM AS
IT IS SOMETIMES WOULD CALL, THE AGE OF REASON,
IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEGUN, OR AT LEAST DATED, AT THE
FALL OF THE BASTILLE AND THE END OF THE TYRANNY OF
FRANCE.
AND IT LASTED UNTIL THAT NEW SCIENTIFIC,
RATIONALISTIC WORLD, NO LONGER THE AGE OF FAITH,
BUT NOW THE AGE OF REASON AND MODERNISM, REACHED ITS
PINNACLE IN THE ATHEISTIC, SCIENTIFIC, EVOLUTIONARY,
SOCIALISTIC USSR- THE SOVIET UNION.
AND MODERNISM, THAT AGE IS DATED TO HAVE ENDED WITH
THE COLLAPSE OF THE BERLIN WALL IN '89.
SO NOW WE ARE IN THE POST-MODERN AGE.
I WONDER HOW MANY OF YOU NOTICED THAT?
DID YOU MISS THAT?
GOTTA STICK YOUR HEAD UP MORE OFTEN AND LOOK
AROUND.
FOR EXAMPLE, YOU MIGHT LOOK AROUND AND FIND OUT
WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT TO YOUR CHILDREN.
IT'S A NEW AGE, FOLKS.
IT IS ALTOGETHER DIFFERENT.
IF YOU THINK THINGS ARE THE SAME AS THEY WERE
OH, HO, HO HAVE YOU GOT A SURPRISE COMING.
SOMEONE SAID THAT THERE IS ONE THING THAT IS BEING
TAUGHT TO OUR CHILDREN TODAY; FROM KINDERGARTEN
THROUGH GRADUATE SCHOOL THERE IS ONE LESSON THAT
THEY ARE LEARNING.
IT IS THE DOMINANT THEME OF THE POST-MODERN
CURRICULUM.
YOU KNOW WHAT IT IS?
TOLERANCE.
AND SO TOLERANCE IS THE IDEA, SAID ONE OF THEIR
WRITERS IN THE BOOK TEACHING TOLERANCE THE
ONLY IDEA WHICH IS UNIVERSALLY RELEVANT TO
EVERY CLASS.
IT BELONGS EVERYWHERE IN THE CURRICULUM AND
TEACHERS ARE BEING TOLD HOW TO TEACH IT IN EVERY
SINGLE SUBJECT.
FROM HISTORY TO LITERATURE TO MATHEMATICS, THE
CHILDREN ARE LEARNING TOLERANCE.
YOU SAY, "WELL, GEE, THAT'S WONDERFUL.
WE'RE ALL IN FAVOR OF TOLERANCE."
OF COURSE WE ARE AT LEAST TOLERANCE AS WE'VE ALWAYS
KNOWN TOLERANCE TO BE.
AND THE DICTIONARY DEFINES IT FOR US: TOLERANCE IS
BEING WILLING TO PUT UP WITH, ENDURE, BEAR WITH
THOSE WHOSE VIEWS OR LIFESTYLES ARE DIFFERENT
FROM YOURS WITHOUT AGREEING WITH THEM, AND
EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE TOLERANT IN THE CORRECT
AND HISTORICAL MEANING OF THAT WORD.
IT'S WHAT THE BIBLE MEANS IN THE LOVE CHAPTER OF
I CORINTHIANS 13, WHICH SAYS, "LOVE ENDURETH ALL
THINGS."
EVERY CHRISTIAN SHOULD BE TOLERANT.
IT IS THE SIGN OF A GENTLEMAN TO PUT UP WITH
PEOPLE WHO HAVE STRANGE IDEAS OR EVEN STRANGE
HABITS OR CUSTOMS, THOUGH YOU DON'T AGREE WITH THEM.
BUT IF YOU THINK THAT IS WHAT IS BEING TAUGHT IN
THE CURRICULA OF THIS COUNTRY, YOU ARE VERY
WRONG.
THE NEW TOLERANCE IS THE TITLE OF A BOOK BY JOSH
MCDOWELL WHICH I RECOMMEND FOR EVERY ONE OF YOU TO READ.
IT IS THE PRINCIPLE SOURCE OF RESEARCH FOR THIS
MESSAGE, AND I THINK IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT THAT WE
READ IT.
THE FUTURE OF THIS COUNTRY IN A VERY STRONG WAY
DEPENDS ON OUR UNDERSTANDING WHAT IS
HAPPENING TO YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY, AND IT HAS A GREAT
DEAL TO DO WITH TOLERANCE.
THE "NEW TOLERANCE" MEANS THIS: NOT ONLY DO YOU PUT
UP WITH AND ENDURE AND BEAR WITH THOSE WHO HAVE
DIFFERENT VIEWS, HABITS, AND/OR LIFESTYLES THAN
YOUR OWN, BUT YOU AGREE WITH THEIR VIEWS, AS WELL.
FURTHERMORE, YOU HOLD THAT THEIR VIEWS ARE EQUALLY AS
VALID AND AS TRUE AS YOUR VIEWS.
FURTHERMORE, THAT THEIR LIFESTYLE IS EQUALLY TRUE
AND EQUALLY VALID WITH YOUR OWN AND, THEREFORE,
THERE IS NO POSSIBLE WAY THAT YOU COULD BE
INTOLERANT BECAUSE THERE IS NOTHING TO BE
INTOLERANT OF.
FURTHERMORE, YOU MUST EVEN BE WILLING TO PROMOTE AND
ENDORSE THAT OTHER LIFESTYLE, SINCE IT IS
EVERY BIT AS GOOD AS YOURS.
NOW YOU SAY, "THAT'S A TOTALLY FOREIGN IDEOLOGY
THAT I'VE NEVER EVEN HEARD OF BEFORE."
I GUARANTEE YOUR CHILDREN HAVE HEARD ABOUT IT.
THEY ARE HEARING ABOUT IT ALL THE TIME, AND YOU WILL
PROBABLY FIND OUT THEY HAVE BEEN HEARING ABOUT IT
WHEN THEY COME HOME SOMETIME AND TELL YOU THAT
YOU ARE AN IGNORANT BIGOT, AND THAT YOU ARE
INTOLERANT.
THEN YOU WILL FIND OUT WHAT THEY HAVE BEEN
LEARNING.
HOW CAN THIS BE?
WELL, IT BEGINS WITH THE IDEA THAT THERE IS NO
ABSOLUTE TRUTH.
AND AS OUR UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO PROFESSOR TOLD US
IN THE BLOCKBUSTER, THE CLOSING OF THE AMERICAN
MIND, IN THE FIRST PAGE, THE FIRST CHAPTER, THE
FIRST SENTENCE, HE SAID, "THE ONE THING THAT ALL
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES HAVE COME TO BELIEVE AND EVERY
COLLEGE PROFESSOR CAN BE ASSURED THAT THEY BELIEVE
WHEN THEY ENTER INTO COLLEGE IS THIS: THERE ARE
NO ABSOLUTES.
EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE.
THAT IS THE ONE THING THEY HAVE LEARNED.
NOW THEREFORE, ONE KIND OF LIFESTYLE IS AS GOOD AS
ANOTHER KIND OF LIFESTYLE.
AH, AH, AH, AH, YOU MUSTN'T JUDGE BECAUSE
THERE IS NO ABSOLUTE STANDARD TO JUDGE BY.
YOU KNOW, IT'S INTERESTING, WHEN YOU ASK
THEM HOW THEY KNOW THAT, THEY MAY SAY TO YOU AS I
TOLD THIS AT THE SPEECH AT YALE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
THAT, "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?
HAVEN'T YOU EVER HEARD OF ALBERT EINSTEIN," THEY
MIGHT TELL YOU?
"DON'T YOU KNOW ABOUT THE THEORY OF RELATIVITY, AND
THAT EINSTEIN SAID ALL THINGS ARE RELATIVE?"
NO, HE DIDN'T.
THIS IS WHAT EINSTEIN SAID: "RELATIVITY HAS TO
DO WITH PHYSICS, NOT ETHICS."
HE WAS APPALLED TO FIND PEOPLE APPLYING RELATIVITY
TO THE MORAL REALM, BUT THEY HAVE.
THEREFORE, EVERYTHING IS RELATIVE; THERE ARE NO
ABSOLUTE TRUTHS OR STANDARDS OR MORALITY.
AND SO CONSEQUENTLY, YOU CAN'T LOOK ON THEIR VIEWS
AS INFERIOR TO YOURS.
YOU MUST AGREE THAT THEY ARE EQUAL.
FURTHERMORE, THERE IS A TOTAL CONCEPT OF "FEELING"
THAT IS INVOLVED IN POST MODERNISM.
POST MODERNISM SAYS THAT RATIONALISM HAD FAILED.
THE MODERNIST SAID, "FAITH HAS FAILED.
WE MUST BE RATIONAL."
THE POST-MODERNIST SAYS, "REASON HAS FAILED.
WE MUST RESORT TO FEELING."
HOW OFTEN YOU HEAR PEOPLE SAY, 'WELL, I FEEL THAT SO
AND SO."
"I FEEL THAT WASHINGTON DC IS THE CAPITAL OF THIS
COUNTRY."
I DON'T FEEL THAT.
I THINK IT.
BUT IT'S ALWAYS NOT "I THINK," BUT "I FEEL."
THE ONLY IMPORTANT THING IS HOW THEY FEEL.
AND WE HAVE EVEN INVENTED A NEW CIVIL RIGHT, AND
THAT IS THE CIVIL RIGHT FOR MY FEELINGS NOT TO BE
HURT.
A YOUNG LADY IN ONE OF THE HIGH SCHOOLS RECENTLY
SUED, AND SHE SUED, I THINK, WHEN THEY SANG A
SONG THAT HAD SOME RELIGIOUS WORDS IN IT- ONE
OF OUR PATRIOTIC SONGS- AND SHE SAID THAT THAT
HURT HER FEELINGS.
THE WHOLE MACHINERY STOPPED.
THE WHOLE SCHOOL GROUND TO A HALT.
THE COURTS MOVED INTO ACTION, "WE CANNOT HAVE
ANYBODY'S FEELINGS HURT."
AND PART OF POST-MODERNISM IS THIS UNIVERSAL
INDIVIDUAL.
WE DON'T HAVE COUNTRIES.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING EXCEPT THE INDIVIDUAL.
THERE IS NO HUMAN RACE.
THERE IS JUST THE INDIVIDUAL AND HIS
FEELINGS, AND THEY MUST, MUST NOT BE OFFENDED.
AND SO THEY THREW THE WHOLE THING OUT BECAUSE
HER FEELINGS WERE HURT.
SO WE HAVE GONE FROM A DEMOCRACY- THE GOVERNMENT
BY THE PEOPLE OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, AND
FOR THE PEOPLE- TO A GOVERNMENT BY THE
SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL- OR SHOULD I SAY MORE
ACCURATELY, BY THE SOVEREIGN INDIVIDUAL'S
FEELINGS.
NOW I AM SURE THAT AS I AM SAYING THESE THINGS THAT
THERE ARE INSTANCES THAT ARE LEAPING TO YOUR MIND
OF TIMES WHEN YOU HAVE RUN INTO THIS IN TALKING WITH
PEOPLE ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS.
YOU WILL MORE IN THE FUTURE.
THERE IS NO TRUTH, THERE ARE NO MORAL ABSOLUTES,
AND THE IMPORTANT THING IS MY FEELINGS.
THAT BRINGS US TO THE FACT THAT THERE ARE NOT EVEN
ANY UNIVERSAL TRUTHS OF ANY KIND FOR PEOPLE, AND
WHATEVER TRUTHS WE HAVE ARE SIMPLY SOCIETAL
CONSTRUCTS THAT EACH COMMUNITY OR SOCIETY OR
NATION HAS CREATED, AND THESE DO NOT APPLY BEYOND
THE BORDERS OF THAT CULTURE.
ALL MORALITY IS CULTURALLY CREATED AND CULTURALLY
DEFINED.
THIS IS WHY I HAVE REPEATEDLY SAID THAT
TOLERANCE IS THE LAST VIRTUE OF A DEPRAVED
SOCIETY.
TOLERANCE IS THE LAST VIRTUE OF A DEPRAVED
SOCIETY.
WHEN YOU HAVE AN IMMORAL SOCIETY WHO HAS BLATANTLY,
PROUDLY, VIOLATED ALL OF THE COMMANDMENTS OF GOD,
THERE IS ONE LAST VIRTUE THEY INSIST UPON.
TOLERANCE FOR THEIR IMMORALITY.
AND THEY WILL NOT HAVE YOU CONDEMNING WHAT THEY HAVE
DONE AS BEING WRONG, AND THEY HAVE CREATED A WHOLE
WORLD CONSTRUCT IN WHICH IT IS NOT, AND IN WHICH
THEY ARE NO LONGER THE CRIMINAL OR THE VILLAIN OR
THE EVIL PERSON, BUT YOU ARE.
AND SO THEY CALL EVIL GOOD, AND GOOD EVIL AND
BELIEVE ME, THAT IS JUST THE BEGINNING.
POLLS HAVE REPEATEDLY SHOWN THAT HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS IN THIS COUNTRY BELIEVE THAT YOU CANNOT
CRITICIZE ANYTHING THAT ANYONE BELIEVES WITHOUT
CRITICIZING AND FINDING FAULT WITH THAT PERSON.
THEREFORE, IF YOU HAVE A DISCUSSION OF ATHEISM WITH
AN ATHEIST, YOU ARE FINDING FAULT WITH THAT
MAN AND CRITICIZING HIS VIEWS.
IF YOU HAVE FIND FAULT WITH A THIEF AND YOU WOULD
CRITICIZE HIS STEALING, THOUGH AS A CHRISTIAN WE
WOULD WANT TO LOVE HIM, THEN YOU ARE FINDING FAULT
WITH HIM, NOT MERELY WHAT HE DOES.
THE SAME THING IS TRUE OF A HOMOSEXUAL.
YOU CANNOT HAVE A RATIONAL DISCUSSION OF THE
RIGHTNESS OR WRONGNESS OF HOMOSEXUALITY, BECAUSE IF
YOU FIND ANY FAULT WITH IT, YOU ARE FINDING FAULT
WITH THAT PERSON WHO WILL TELL YOU THAT "WHAT I DO
IS WHAT I AM," AND YOU CANNOT DIVIDE BETWEEN THE
TWO.
AND THE OVERWHELMING MAJORITY OF HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS IN AMERICA BELIEVE THAT.
THEY BELIEVE IT PASSIONATELY.
THEY HAVE BEEN THOROUGHLY INDOCTRINATED WITH THAT
IDEA.
DOES IT MATTER?
WE'RE GOING DOWN THE HILL.
YES, IT MATTERS, BECAUSE YOU SEE, IN CRITICIZING
THAT PERSON, WHEN YOU ARE CRITICIZING WHAT HE
BELIEVES OR WHAT HE DOES, YOU ARE HURTING HIS
FEELINGS, YOU ARE DEMONSTRATING HATEFULNESS
TO HIM, AND THAT IS A "HATE CRIME."
NOW, MY FRIENDS, CHRISTIANITY IS THE MOST
LOVING RELIGION IN THE WORLD.
GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON.
JESUS CHRIST GAVE HIS LIFE.
GOD GIVES TO US ETERNAL LIFE.
GOD FORGIVES US AND HE URGES US TO LOVE OTHERS,
TO LOVE OUR FRIENDS, TO LOVE OUR ENEMIES, TO LOVE
EVEN THOSE WHO KILL US.
BUT CHRISTIANITY IS AN ABSOLUTE RELIGION.
BY THE WAY, ALL OF THESE STRICTURES DO NOT APPLY TO
OTHER RELIGIONS- ONLY TO CHRISTIANITY, BECAUSE THAT
IS THE ONLY ABSOLUTE RELIGION.
YOU CAN BELONG TO THREE OR FOUR OF THE OTHER OF THE
WORLD'S RELIGIONS AT THE SAME TIME.
BUT GOD IS A JEALOUS GOD AND HE WILL NOT HAVE ANY
OTHER GODS BEFORE HIM, AND ALL OF THE GODS OF THE
HEATHEN HE SAYS ARE BUT IDOLS.
BUT GOD SAYS, "I AM JEHOVAH.
THERE IS NONE LIKE ME."
CHRIST SAYS, "I AM THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE
LIFE: NO MAN COMETH UNTO THE FATHER, BUT BY ME"
THAT STATEMENT ALONE COULD ONE DAY, IN AMERICA, COULD
HAVE LANDED HIM IN JAIL BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTIST.
HOW MANY PEOPLE TODAY YOU SEE WANT TO SAY, "WELL,
ALL RELIGIONS ARE BASICALLY THE SAME."
THERE'S A THEOLOGICAL TERM FOR THAT.
IT'S CALLED "HOGWASH."
(LAUGH)
THAT'S A DIRECT TRANSLATION FROM THE
GREEK.
(LAUGH)
AND IT ONLY REVEALS THE IGNORANCE OF THE PERSON
WHO MAKES THAT STATEMENT.
GAUTAMA BUDDHA DIED FOR NO ONE.
LAO-TZE DIED FOR NO ONE.
CONFUCIUS DIED FOR NO ONE.
MOHAMMED DIED FOR NO ONE.
ONLY CHRIST DIED FOR THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
ONLY CHRIST ROSE AGAIN FROM THE DEAD.
ONLY CHRIST OFFERS ETERNAL LIFE FREELY TO THOSE WHO
WILL TRUST IN HIM.
CHRISTIANITY IS DIAMETRICALLY OPPOSITE
FROM ALL OF THE OTHER WORLD'S RELIGIONS IN THOSE
THINGS THAT REALLY MATTER.
BUT BECAUSE IT IS ABSOLUTE AND NOT RELATIVE, IT IS
CHRISTIANITY AGAINST WHICH ALL OF THIS THAT I HAVE
MENTIONED IS AIMED.
AND IT IS LIKE BEING CORRALLED LIKE SHEEP TO
THE SLAUGHTER.
MOST OF THE SHEEP DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT IS
HAPPENING.
WAKE UP!!
YOU DID, DIDN'T YOU?
(LAUGH)
GOOD.
DEAR FRIENDS, FOR 40 YEARS I HAVE URGED THIS
CONGREGATION TO BE FAITHFUL TO THE GREAT
COMMISSION OF SHARING THE GOSPEL WITH A NEEDY WORLD,
A NEEDY NATION.
MANY OF YOU HAVE BEEN INDESCRIBABLY FAITHFUL IN
DOING THAT YEAR AFTER YEAR, DECADE AFTER DECADE.
BUT EVEN MORE OF YOU, NO WAY.
YOU HAVEN'T LED ANYBODY TO CHRIST LAST YEAR.
SOME OF YOU HAVEN'T LEAD ANYBODY TO CHRIST IN THE
LAST SEVENTY YEARS.
YOU ARE GOING TO FIND OUT WHAT IS AT THE END OF THE
ROAD OF DISOBEDIENCE TO THE GREAT COMMISSION.
IT'S TIME THAT WE STOOD UP FOR JESUS CHRIST AND
SHOWED SOME BACKBONE WHILE WE STILL HAVE A PLACE TO
STAND.
(APPLAUSE)
MAY WE STAND.
FATHER, O GOD, THE NEED IS SO GREAT; THE HOUR IS
LATE.
HELP US, WE PRAY, TO HAVE THE COURAGE THAT CHRIST
ALONE CAN GIVE US TO BE UNAFRAID.
HE SAID, "FEAR NOT, I AM WITH YOU.
I WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU."
HELP US, O GOD, TO STAND UP FOR HIS TRUTH, TO TELL
PEOPLE THAT IT IS NOT TRUE THAT EVERYTHING IS
RELATIVE.
GOD IS NOT RELATIVE.
HIS WORD IS NOT RELATIVE.
HIS SON IS NOT RELATIVE.
THESE ARE THE ULTIMATE ABSOLUTES, AND UNLESS WE
HEAR THEM AND HEED THEM, WE SHALL ABSOLUTELY FIND
THAT THAT STONE SHALL FALL UPON US.
O GOD, WE PRAY FOR AMERICA THAT TRUE RELIGIOUS
LIBERTY MAY AGAIN PREVAIL, AND THAT THE TRUTH OF
CHRIST MAY INUNDATE THIS NATION AS NEVER BEFORE.
I PRAY THIS IN HIS MOST HOLY NAME.
AMEN.
PERHAPS YOU ARE WATCHING THIS PROGRAM AND FIND
YOURSELF AGREEING WITH WHAT DR. KENNEDY HAS
SHARED TODAY BUT YOU HAVE NEVER ACTUALLY INVITED
JESUS CHRIST TO COME INTO YOUR LIFE AND BE YOUR
SAVIOR AND YOUR LORD.
YOU CAN DO THAT TODAY.
LET ME EXPLAIN.
IN THE BIBLE WE READ THAT HEAVEN IS A FREE GIFT.
IT'S NOT SOMETHING WE CAN EARN OR DESERVE BECAUSE
YOU SEE WE'RE ALL SINNERS AND WE FALL SHORT OF GOD'S
PERFECT STANDARD.
SO WE HAVE A PROBLEM.
BUT GOD SOLVED OUR PROBLEM IN THE PERSON OF JESUS
CHRIST, HIS ONLY SON, WHO LIVED A PERFECT LIFE, WHO
DIED AND ROSE AGAIN TO PAY THE PENALTY FOR OUR SIN
AND PURCHASE A PLACE FOR US IN HEAVEN.
HE BECAME THE SAVIOR WHO COULD TAKE AWAY OUR SINS
SO THAT WE CAN NOW HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH AN ALL
HOLY GOD.
AND WE DO THIS BY TRANSFERRING OUR TRUST
FROM WHAT WE THINK IS GOOD ENOUGH TO GET US INTO
HEAVEN TO WHAT JESUS DID ON THE CROSS.
IF THIS MAKES SENSE TO YOU AND YOU WOULD LIKE TO
RECEIVE THE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE AND ENJOY ALL
THE BENEFITS THAT GO ALONG WITH THAT, WE CAN GO TO
GOD IN PRAYER RIGHT NOW SAYING, "LORD JESUS
CHRIST, PLEASE FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS, CLEANSE ME AND
MAKE ME BRAND NEW.
I GRATEFULLY ACCEPT THE FREE GIFT OF ETERNAL LIFE
AND PLACE MY TRUST IN YOU ALONE FROM THIS DAY
FORWARD.
THANK YOU FOR DOING FOR ME WHAT I COULD NOT DO FOR
MYSELF.
IN JESUS NAME I PRAY.
AMEN."
IF YOU JUST PRAYED THAT PRAYER SINCERELY FROM YOUR
HEART, LET ME BE THE FIRST TO SAY, "WELCOME TO THE
FAMILY OF GOD."
AND WE HAVE A SPECIAL GIFT FOR YOU.
IT'S BEGINNING AGAIN, A BOOK WRITTEN BY
DR. KENNEDY TO HELP YOU GROW IN YOUR NEW FAITH.
TO RECEIVE YOUR COPY, JUST WRITE TO THE ADDRESS ON
YOUR SCREEN OR CALL OUR TOLL-FREE NUMBER AND BE
SURE AND ASK FOR BEGINNING AGAIN.
GOD BLESS YOU AS YOU DO!
IS IT YOUR DESIRE TO SEE, AS DR. KENNEDY PRAYED, THE
TRUTH OF CHRIST INUNDATE THIS NATION AS NEVER
BEFORE, SO THAT TRUE RELIGIOUS LIBERTY
PREVAILS?
IT'S GOING TO REQUIRE PEOPLE LIKE US TO STAND UP
WHILE WE STILL HAVE A PLACE TO STAND.
AND THAT IS OUR AIM: STANDING FOR TRUTH AND
DEFENDING YOUR FREEDOMS.
CAN WE COUNT ON YOU TO SHARE THIS IMPORTANT
MESSAGE WITH SOMEONE ELSE, OR PERHAPS WITH MANY
OTHERS?
