1
00:00:00,339 --> 00:00:02,195
There are many people going to church,

2
00:00:02,195 --> 00:00:03,973
but many people not going to heaven.

3
00:00:03,973 --> 00:00:05,385
They have enough religion

4
00:00:05,385 --> 00:00:07,460
to play the game.

5
00:00:07,460 --> 00:00:11,267
Keith Green: If people can't 
tell that you're changed,

6
00:00:11,267 --> 00:00:13,436
you're not.

7
00:00:13,436 --> 00:00:16,350
If people can't see that 
you're born again,

8
00:00:16,350 --> 00:00:19,199
you're probably not.

9
00:00:19,199 --> 00:00:20,553
If your mother doesn't know

10
00:00:20,553 --> 00:00:22,511
that Jesus lives inside of you,

11
00:00:22,511 --> 00:00:25,539
she's probably knows better than anybody.

12
00:00:25,539 --> 00:00:27,261
Trevor: There's a clean way to hell

13
00:00:27,261 --> 00:00:28,793
and there's a dirty way to hell.

14
00:00:28,793 --> 00:00:30,247
But it's the same destination.

15
00:00:30,247 --> 00:00:32,136
And there is a religious way to hell.

16
00:00:32,136 --> 00:00:34,992
There is a form of godliness, 
but lacks the power.

17
00:00:34,992 --> 00:00:42,469
And the American church 
is infected with it.

18
00:00:42,469 --> 00:00:43,782
My name is Trevor Johnson.

19
00:00:43,782 --> 00:00:45,097
The Lord has called me.

20
00:00:45,097 --> 00:00:46,166
He has saved me.

21
00:00:46,166 --> 00:00:48,981
And I serve a remote 
tribal group in Indonesia.

22
00:00:48,981 --> 00:00:51,134
And I want to tell you,
the Lord has saved me,

23
00:00:51,134 --> 00:00:52,821
and He has saved me for service.

24
00:00:52,821 --> 00:00:54,383
And if the Lord has saved you,

25
00:00:54,383 --> 00:00:56,605
He has saved you for service as well.

26
00:00:56,605 --> 00:00:58,534
Christianity is not an add-on

27
00:00:58,534 --> 00:00:59,998
to your normal course of life.

28
00:00:59,998 --> 00:01:01,405
It is something that changes

29
00:01:01,405 --> 00:01:02,902
the entire course of your life.

30
00:01:02,902 --> 00:01:04,362
There is no other Christianity

31
00:01:04,362 --> 00:01:06,627
besides a radical Christianity.

32
00:01:06,627 --> 00:01:08,766
The purpose of this 
testimony is to show you

33
00:01:08,766 --> 00:01:10,969
that me as a missionary,

34
00:01:10,969 --> 00:01:13,399
I am not some second-tier Christian

35
00:01:13,399 --> 00:01:15,468
that is abnormal for the Christian life.

36
00:01:15,468 --> 00:01:17,040
I am very ordinary,

37
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,315
but we worship a God 
that is extraordinary.

38
00:01:19,315 --> 00:01:21,756
We worship a God that 
delights to use weak vessels,

39
00:01:21,756 --> 00:01:24,193
and so I'm going to give 
you my personal testimony

40
00:01:24,193 --> 00:01:26,577
and I want you to look at your own life

41
00:01:26,577 --> 00:01:28,914
and to see if you're 
playing the religious game

42
00:01:28,914 --> 00:01:31,937
or if you're grabbing 
onto the logic of faith;

43
00:01:31,937 --> 00:01:33,664
the logic of faith that says

44
00:01:33,664 --> 00:01:35,118
that we are to be propulsive,

45
00:01:35,118 --> 00:01:37,434
if we receive the grace of God,

46
00:01:37,434 --> 00:01:39,360
we will want to give it out.

47
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:41,607
If you don't love other 
people for the Gospel,

48
00:01:41,607 --> 00:01:43,998
the love of Christ does not abide in you.

49
00:01:43,998 --> 00:01:46,543
And so I want to give you 
my personal testimony -

50
00:01:46,543 --> 00:01:47,740
how I was saved

51
00:01:47,740 --> 00:01:50,916
and what salvation means.

52
00:01:50,916 --> 00:01:53,112
I was indoctrinated with naturalism

53
00:01:53,112 --> 00:01:54,758
in the public school.

54
00:01:54,758 --> 00:01:57,155
We were taught that we 
were products of evolution.

55
00:01:57,155 --> 00:01:58,593
We were taught that all things

56
00:01:58,593 --> 00:02:01,664
were just the products of natural causes;

57
00:02:01,664 --> 00:02:03,622
that I am just atoms,

58
00:02:03,622 --> 00:02:06,785
that atoms in the void are 
the only things in existence.

59
00:02:06,785 --> 00:02:08,553
But why is it that I love?

60
00:02:08,553 --> 00:02:11,599
Why is it that I believe 
in immaterial things

61
00:02:11,599 --> 00:02:15,291
such as honor, such as love?

62
00:02:15,291 --> 00:02:17,198
Those things are non-material,

63
00:02:17,198 --> 00:02:20,680
and yet I know that those things exist.

64
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:22,450
The worldview that we're being taught

65
00:02:22,450 --> 00:02:23,919
has no answers.

66
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:25,721
It gives us no hope.

67
00:02:25,721 --> 00:02:27,914
It takes us to despair.

68
00:02:27,914 --> 00:02:30,487
It makes Nazi Germany not evil,

69
00:02:30,487 --> 00:02:32,495
just inconvenient to a certain segment

70
00:02:32,495 --> 00:02:35,002
of the population.

71
00:02:35,002 --> 00:02:36,440
But I saw, I knew

72
00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:38,429
that there was real evil in the world.

73
00:02:38,429 --> 00:02:40,741
And seeing the real evil in the world,

74
00:02:40,741 --> 00:02:43,038
there had to be a perfect,

75
00:02:43,038 --> 00:02:44,504
good reference point,

76
00:02:44,504 --> 00:02:45,912
so that I knew what evil was.

77
00:02:45,912 --> 00:02:48,563
I knew that there was evil.
I knew that there was good.

78
00:02:48,563 --> 00:02:49,957
My conscience spoke to me.

79
00:02:49,957 --> 00:02:51,331
I knew that there was a God,

80
00:02:51,331 --> 00:02:52,937
but I did not know where to turn.

81
00:02:52,937 --> 00:02:54,638
I turned to the American churches,

82
00:02:54,638 --> 00:02:57,828
and I was sorely betrayed.

83
00:02:57,828 --> 00:02:59,282
I sought the truth of Christ

84
00:02:59,282 --> 00:03:01,098
in the American churches,

85
00:03:01,098 --> 00:03:05,009
and I was sorely disappointed.

86
00:03:05,009 --> 00:03:08,039
I heard about the wealth
and prosperity gospel,

87
00:03:08,039 --> 00:03:11,497
I heard about the seven 
vials and seven trumpets,

88
00:03:11,497 --> 00:03:15,518
the sensational "left my mind" theology,

89
00:03:15,518 --> 00:03:19,099
but I did not hear about 
the Gospel of Christ.

90
00:03:19,099 --> 00:03:20,889
I was searching for the truth,

91
00:03:20,889 --> 00:03:22,841
but I was sorely disappointed.

92
00:03:22,841 --> 00:03:25,364
Many of the pastors I went to 
did not know the truth.

93
00:03:25,364 --> 00:03:26,507
And I want to beg you

94
00:03:26,507 --> 00:03:28,150
that if you are seeking the truth,

95
00:03:28,150 --> 00:03:30,790
don't be content to stay in a sick church.

96
00:03:30,790 --> 00:03:32,707
Don't be content to stay in a church

97
00:03:32,707 --> 00:03:34,383
that is not preaching the Gospel -

98
00:03:34,383 --> 00:03:36,212
that mankind is totally lost,

99
00:03:36,212 --> 00:03:38,637
that we are saved totally by grace,

100
00:03:38,637 --> 00:03:42,607
that the Lord Jesus Christ is Lord of all.

101
00:03:42,607 --> 00:03:44,420
Don't be content to stay in a place;

102
00:03:44,420 --> 00:03:47,178
don't be content for 
a form of religiosity

103
00:03:47,178 --> 00:03:48,957
that lacks any power.

104
00:03:48,957 --> 00:03:50,588
Don't be content to be caught up

105
00:03:50,588 --> 00:03:52,180
in all the trappings of religion,

106
00:03:52,180 --> 00:03:54,307
but miss Christ.

107
00:03:54,307 --> 00:03:55,828
I had a preacher tell me

108
00:03:55,828 --> 00:03:57,209
it's as simple as choosing:

109
00:03:57,209 --> 00:03:59,959
do you want to go to heaven
or do you want to go to hell?

110
00:03:59,959 --> 00:04:03,359
What idiot wouldn't choose heaven?

111
00:04:03,359 --> 00:04:05,138
But the choice is not heaven or hell,

112
00:04:05,138 --> 00:04:08,607
the choice is the beauty 
of Christ or your sin.

113
00:04:08,607 --> 00:04:11,363
And I would pray like 
Saint Augustine would,

114
00:04:11,363 --> 00:04:14,621
"Lord, make me pure, but not yet."

115
00:04:14,621 --> 00:04:17,579
"Lord, make me chaste, but not yet."

116
00:04:17,579 --> 00:04:19,583
So the choice is not just a simple choice

117
00:04:19,583 --> 00:04:20,873
between heaven or hell,

118
00:04:20,873 --> 00:04:23,312
it's, do you see Christ as lovely?

119
00:04:23,312 --> 00:04:25,469
Do you see Christ as all glorious?

120
00:04:25,469 --> 00:04:27,223
Do you see the beauty of the Gospel

121
00:04:27,223 --> 00:04:28,670
and the beauty of Christ?

122
00:04:28,670 --> 00:04:30,528
Do you see your own unworthiness?

123
00:04:30,528 --> 00:04:32,555
It's not a choice between heaven or hell.

124
00:04:32,555 --> 00:04:34,367
It's a choice between Jesus Christ

125
00:04:34,367 --> 00:04:36,501
and everything else that competes.

126
00:04:36,501 --> 00:04:38,556
Jesus Christ and your sin.

127
00:04:38,556 --> 00:04:41,718
Jesus Christ and all other 
competing interests.

128
00:04:41,718 --> 00:04:43,005
We must live for Christ.

129
00:04:43,005 --> 00:04:45,692
We must die for Christ.

130
00:04:45,692 --> 00:04:48,375
And everything in our life

131
00:04:48,375 --> 00:04:50,454
is to glorify Christ

132
00:04:50,454 --> 00:04:52,318
because He has died for us.

133
00:04:52,318 --> 00:04:55,077
He has given Himself for us.

134
00:04:55,077 --> 00:04:57,130
And we can't even give Him more than

135
00:04:57,130 --> 00:04:59,355
an hour or two on a Sunday morning

136
00:04:59,355 --> 00:05:00,904
for His service.

137
00:05:00,904 --> 00:05:02,216
And even then, we think

138
00:05:02,216 --> 00:05:04,305
that we have merited ourselves before God

139
00:05:04,305 --> 00:05:05,440
because of that.

140
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,115
We think that by our performance

141
00:05:07,115 --> 00:05:09,526
we have attained to some standard

142
00:05:09,526 --> 00:05:12,401
of acceptability before God.

143
00:05:12,401 --> 00:05:15,139
But even our righteousness is filthy rags.

144
00:05:15,139 --> 00:05:16,934
There's enough sin in our prayers

145
00:05:16,934 --> 00:05:18,520
to condemn us to hell.

146
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,384
And yet, God is pleased to hear 
me because I'm His child.

147
00:05:21,384 --> 00:05:22,881
He has given me the new birth.

148
00:05:22,881 --> 00:05:25,255
God is pleased to hear me
because He is my Father

149
00:05:25,255 --> 00:05:27,362
and He's accepted me for Christ's sake.

150
00:05:27,362 --> 00:05:30,177
And God has been pleased 
to put me into service.

151
00:05:30,177 --> 00:05:32,661
And it's a joy that I'd 
be able to follow Him,

152
00:05:32,661 --> 00:05:34,148
that I'd be able to serve Him,

153
00:05:34,148 --> 00:05:35,880
that I'd be able to suffer for Him.

154
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,647
And I want to see others

155
00:05:37,647 --> 00:05:40,433
be adopted into the family of God as well.

156
00:05:40,433 --> 00:05:42,524
And I worship a God that delights to save.

157
00:05:42,524 --> 00:05:44,261
He delighted to save me.

158
00:05:44,261 --> 00:05:46,438
And He will delight to save some

159
00:05:46,438 --> 00:05:49,288
from every tongue, tribe, and nation.

160
00:05:49,288 --> 00:05:52,250
There is nobody too bad for God.

161
00:05:52,250 --> 00:05:55,379
There is nobody too unworthy to be saved.

162
00:05:55,379 --> 00:05:58,496
There is nobody that has blown it.

163
00:05:58,496 --> 00:06:00,760
While there is still time, 
there is still hope.

164
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:01,996
While there is still life,

165
00:06:01,996 --> 00:06:03,973
there is hope of salvation.

166
00:06:03,973 --> 00:06:06,030
And if the Lord Jesus 
Christ has saved you,

167
00:06:06,030 --> 00:06:07,845
He has saved you to become a blessing.

168
00:06:07,845 --> 00:06:09,730
He has blessed you to be a blessing.

169
00:06:09,730 --> 00:06:11,496
He has saved you for service.

170
00:06:11,496 --> 00:06:13,910
And if He can use someone such as me;

171
00:06:13,910 --> 00:06:15,589
if He can use someone

172
00:06:15,589 --> 00:06:18,223
that stumbles so very often,

173
00:06:18,223 --> 00:06:19,832
a very average person,

174
00:06:19,832 --> 00:06:24,010
He can use you in His service as well.

175
00:06:24,010 --> 00:06:26,960
He can use you to glorify His mercy.

176
00:06:26,960 --> 00:06:30,005
He can use you

177
00:06:30,005 --> 00:06:32,294
as a vessel of mercy.

178
00:06:32,294 --> 00:06:35,394
And my hope is that when 
people see my life,

179
00:06:35,394 --> 00:06:37,351
my hope is that when people see me,

180
00:06:37,351 --> 00:06:40,296
they see that God has 
abundantly poured out

181
00:06:40,296 --> 00:06:42,020
His grace upon me.

182
00:06:42,020 --> 00:06:46,066
That it is not due to 
anything within myself,

183
00:06:46,066 --> 00:06:47,991
but only to the grace of God.

184
00:06:47,991 --> 00:06:49,546
And I am a walking example

185
00:06:49,546 --> 00:06:51,926
of the mercy of God.

186
00:06:51,926 --> 00:06:55,107
A light in this lost and fallen world.

187
00:06:55,107 --> 00:06:58,026
And my desire is to minister that light,

188
00:06:58,026 --> 00:07:01,225
is to show that light to others.

189
00:07:01,225 --> 00:07:03,916
And I praise God that He 
has been able to do that,

190
00:07:03,916 --> 00:07:06,694
even despite my weakness.

191
00:07:06,694 --> 00:07:08,559
Come share in these joys with me.

192
00:07:08,559 --> 00:07:11,738
Come share in the joy of service.

193
00:07:11,738 --> 00:07:14,321
If I fail in everything else 
in this testimony,

194
00:07:14,321 --> 00:07:17,072
the two key points I 
want to tell you is this:

195
00:07:17,072 --> 00:07:19,691
that I am not second-tier Christian.

196
00:07:19,691 --> 00:07:22,104
I am very imperfect in many ways.

197
00:07:22,104 --> 00:07:25,559
I trust that the Lord will perfect me

198
00:07:25,559 --> 00:07:26,805
once I die,

199
00:07:26,805 --> 00:07:28,622
and I will go to that place

200
00:07:28,622 --> 00:07:31,138
where the spirits of just 
men are made perfect.

201
00:07:31,138 --> 00:07:33,172
But I abide here below

202
00:07:33,172 --> 00:07:35,014
as a very weak creature,

203
00:07:35,014 --> 00:07:37,321
but the Lord is pleased to use me anyway.

204
00:07:37,321 --> 00:07:40,004
And one thing I want to tell you

205
00:07:40,004 --> 00:07:42,992
is the Lord is pleased to use weak vessels

206
00:07:42,992 --> 00:07:44,718
because there are no other kind.

207
00:07:44,718 --> 00:07:46,582
The Lord is pleased to pour out

208
00:07:46,582 --> 00:07:47,920
the gold of His grace

209
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,034
through vessels of clay.

210
00:07:50,034 --> 00:07:52,351
And I have seen the Lord work.

211
00:07:52,351 --> 00:07:55,081
And I rejoice that He can even use me,

212
00:07:55,081 --> 00:07:56,606
and He delights to use me.

213
00:07:56,606 --> 00:07:59,244
And the other thing I want 
to make crystal clear

214
00:07:59,244 --> 00:08:05,574
is that religion does 
not equate to salvation.

215
00:08:05,574 --> 00:08:07,519
I want to make sure you know that.

216
00:08:07,519 --> 00:08:09,097
Don't play the church game.

217
00:08:09,097 --> 00:08:11,090
Don't be content to do religious rites,

218
00:08:11,090 --> 00:08:13,985
to do religious activities.

219
00:08:13,985 --> 00:08:15,357
Get saved.

220
00:08:15,357 --> 00:08:16,387
Believe the Gospel.

221
00:08:16,387 --> 00:08:17,450
Trust in Christ.

222
00:08:17,450 --> 00:08:19,740
You have nothing to merit you before God.

223
00:08:19,740 --> 00:08:21,246
You are totally unworthy,

224
00:08:21,246 --> 00:08:22,974
even your repentance and faith

225
00:08:22,974 --> 00:08:26,071
can be turned into a 
works-based salvation;

226
00:08:26,071 --> 00:08:27,860
trying to measure some sort

227
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:29,842
of level of acceptability

228
00:08:29,842 --> 00:08:31,284
for your works towards God.

229
00:08:31,284 --> 00:08:32,915
There is nothing that you can do

230
00:08:32,915 --> 00:08:35,009
to merit yourself before Christ.

231
00:08:35,009 --> 00:08:37,364
Trust in the grace of Christ.

232
00:08:37,364 --> 00:08:39,919
Don't trust in your religious 
rites or activities.

233
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:41,904
It's not so much religion that saves,

234
00:08:41,904 --> 00:08:44,065
it's the relationship with Jesus Christ.

235
00:08:44,065 --> 00:08:46,226
We are adopted into the family of God.

236
00:08:46,226 --> 00:08:48,391
I am made right because of my relationship

237
00:08:48,391 --> 00:08:50,982
with Jesus Christ.

238
00:08:50,982 --> 00:08:53,504
It's not some set of 
doctrines that I believe in.

239
00:08:53,504 --> 00:08:54,792
It is a relationship.

240
00:08:54,792 --> 00:08:56,403
I am a son of God.

241
00:08:56,403 --> 00:08:59,660
God is my Father. I have been adopted.

242
00:08:59,660 --> 00:09:03,862
My identity is a child of God.

243
00:09:03,862 --> 00:09:06,139
God has birthed me. God will keep me.

244
00:09:06,139 --> 00:09:08,086
God will never disown me.

245
00:09:08,086 --> 00:09:10,345
And God will bring me to maturity.

246
00:09:10,345 --> 00:09:12,545
And I desire to walk

247
00:09:12,545 --> 00:09:14,149
in the footsteps of my Father.

248
00:09:14,149 --> 00:09:18,031
I desire to honor my Father by service,

249
00:09:18,031 --> 00:09:20,895
not so that I can be 
inducted into His family,

250
00:09:20,895 --> 00:09:22,547
but because I am

251
00:09:22,547 --> 00:09:24,624
and because I want to live

252
00:09:24,624 --> 00:09:29,506
in the manner that my 
Father has taught me.

253
00:09:29,506 --> 00:09:32,717
So if you are a child of God,

254
00:09:32,717 --> 00:09:34,381
rest in that identity.

255
00:09:34,381 --> 00:09:37,716
Don't get caught up in 
works-based religious rites,

256
00:09:37,716 --> 00:09:40,438
in activities, in the circle of busyness

257
00:09:40,438 --> 00:09:42,293
that so often happens,

258
00:09:42,293 --> 00:09:44,250
that so often becomes a substitute

259
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:46,217
for the Gospel in our churches.

260
00:09:46,217 --> 00:09:47,796
But rest in Christ

261
00:09:47,796 --> 00:09:49,413
and in all of your life,

262
00:09:49,413 --> 00:09:51,536
seek to glorify Him.

263
00:09:51,536 --> 00:09:53,311
If you're just a member of a church

264
00:09:53,311 --> 00:09:55,540
and you think that that 
commends you to God,

265
00:09:55,540 --> 00:09:57,394
allow me to shake you up.

266
00:09:57,394 --> 00:10:00,461
Allow me to make you uncomfortable.

267
00:10:00,461 --> 00:10:05,766
Forgive me if I sound negative.

268
00:10:05,766 --> 00:10:08,411
But don't let your works 
substitute for the Gospel.

269
00:10:08,411 --> 00:10:10,106
I've seen it happen in churches.

270
00:10:10,106 --> 00:10:12,699
These churches inoculated 
me against the Gospel.

271
00:10:12,699 --> 00:10:16,063
These churches were an 
immunization against Christ.

272
00:10:16,063 --> 00:10:19,630
And I had enough church 
to ease my conscience.

273
00:10:19,630 --> 00:10:22,368
I was desensitized to the Gospel.

274
00:10:22,368 --> 00:10:24,896
I began to think that because I wasn't

275
00:10:24,896 --> 00:10:26,456
as bad as somebody else,

276
00:10:26,456 --> 00:10:28,773
I wasn't bad before God.

277
00:10:28,773 --> 00:10:30,881
But this is not a comparison.

278
00:10:30,881 --> 00:10:32,641
God's bar is perfect.

279
00:10:32,641 --> 00:10:35,614
And we all fall short.

280
00:10:35,614 --> 00:10:38,096
I love Christ and I want to see my Jesus

281
00:10:38,096 --> 00:10:41,091
proclaimed into every 
nation of the world.

282
00:10:41,091 --> 00:10:44,824
Because He has been good to me.

283
00:10:44,824 --> 00:10:46,510
Keith Green: Sure, there's people

284
00:10:46,510 --> 00:10:50,318
that go to the ends of the 
earth that aren't Christian.

285
00:10:50,318 --> 00:10:51,953
Like the Mormon church

286
00:10:51,953 --> 00:10:54,689
sends their young people

287
00:10:54,689 --> 00:10:56,303
for two years out of their lives

288
00:10:56,303 --> 00:10:57,303
to the mission field.

289
00:10:57,303 --> 00:10:59,375
Every single Mormon youngster

290
00:10:59,375 --> 00:11:04,408
goes for two years to the mission field.

291
00:11:04,408 --> 00:11:08,225
How come we can't even match that?

292
00:11:08,225 --> 00:11:10,805
How come we can't send our young people

293
00:11:10,805 --> 00:11:12,586
for six months?

294
00:11:12,586 --> 00:11:14,725
How comes it's a special breed?

295
00:11:14,725 --> 00:11:16,592
But you're going, "Keith, what about

296
00:11:16,592 --> 00:11:18,759
the lost in America?"

297
00:11:18,759 --> 00:11:20,559
What about the lost in America?

298
00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:22,453
Hey, don't worry.

299
00:11:22,453 --> 00:11:27,255
If God makes it clear to you to go,

300
00:11:27,255 --> 00:11:29,043
which I think He already has

301
00:11:29,043 --> 00:11:32,059
to many of you this weekend,

302
00:11:32,059 --> 00:11:33,605
there'll always be enough people

303
00:11:33,605 --> 00:11:36,212
who won't obey the call to stay around

304
00:11:36,212 --> 00:11:37,557
and witness here.

305
00:11:37,557 --> 00:11:38,622
Don't worry.

306
00:11:38,622 --> 00:11:39,895
You're going, "But Keith,

307
00:11:39,895 --> 00:11:41,511
I need to keep my secular job

308
00:11:41,511 --> 00:11:43,098
and keep sending my $50 a month

309
00:11:43,098 --> 00:11:44,103
to World Vision.

310
00:11:44,103 --> 00:11:45,184
If I don't, who will?"

311
00:11:45,184 --> 00:11:46,262
Don't worry.

312
00:11:46,262 --> 00:11:48,142
There'll always be enough people around

313
00:11:48,142 --> 00:11:49,363
that won't obey the call

314
00:11:49,363 --> 00:11:51,685
that will send a check 
rather than their bodies

315
00:11:51,685 --> 00:11:53,832
as living sacrifices.

316
00:11:53,832 --> 00:11:55,536
There will always be enough people.

317
00:11:55,536 --> 00:11:58,774
I'm not saying everybody 
who doesn't go is disobedient.

318
00:11:58,774 --> 00:12:02,774
I'm just saying about 99.99% are.

319
00:12:02,774 --> 00:12:04,693
That's what I believe.

320
00:12:04,693 --> 00:12:06,748
I've seen the world, folks.

321
00:12:06,748 --> 00:12:08,926
And I've seen that it's lost

322
00:12:08,926 --> 00:12:11,129
and there's billions of people out there

323
00:12:11,129 --> 00:12:12,629
that don't know God.

324
00:12:12,629 --> 00:12:16,574
Now either it's His fault or ours.

325
00:12:16,574 --> 00:12:18,108
Trevor: If God is calling you,

326
00:12:18,108 --> 00:12:19,698
God will nurture godly desires,

327
00:12:19,698 --> 00:12:22,062
so I say be ambitious for the Lord.

328
00:12:22,062 --> 00:12:24,578
I say set spiritual goals.

329
00:12:24,578 --> 00:12:26,408
Set spiritual ambitions

330
00:12:26,408 --> 00:12:29,068
and pray, be bold in what you want to do

331
00:12:29,068 --> 00:12:30,651
for the Lord.

332
00:12:30,651 --> 00:12:31,883
Don't be timid.

333
00:12:31,883 --> 00:12:33,219
Be bold. Be aggressive

334
00:12:33,219 --> 00:12:37,314
in what you want to 
achieve by God's grace.

335
00:12:37,314 --> 00:12:39,693
Don't let the devil 
steal away your boldness.

336
00:12:39,693 --> 00:12:40,863
Be bold.

337
00:12:40,863 --> 00:12:42,737
The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence

338
00:12:42,737 --> 00:12:46,549
and the violent take it by force.

339
00:12:46,549 --> 00:12:49,030
Just don't give a 50%.

340
00:12:49,030 --> 00:12:50,675
Go all out for the Gospel.

341
00:12:50,675 --> 00:12:52,129
Go all out for the Lord.

342
00:12:52,129 --> 00:12:54,681
Be radical in your commitment.

343
00:12:54,681 --> 00:12:59,961
When Hernando Cortez,

344
00:12:59,961 --> 00:13:02,116
he came to the New World,

345
00:13:02,116 --> 00:13:04,017
he burned all of the ships behind him

346
00:13:04,017 --> 00:13:06,949
before he marched forward.

347
00:13:06,949 --> 00:13:08,314
Christians ought to burn

348
00:13:08,314 --> 00:13:10,341
all their ships behind them.

349
00:13:10,341 --> 00:13:12,512
There should be nothing left behind.

350
00:13:12,512 --> 00:13:15,953
We should not flee Sodom and look back.

351
00:13:15,953 --> 00:13:17,774
Once we put our hands to the plow,

352
00:13:17,774 --> 00:13:18,852
we go forward.

353
00:13:18,852 --> 00:13:21,846
We are ready to die 
in the line of service.

354
00:13:21,846 --> 00:13:25,250
I fear failure more than 
I fear sickness or death.

355
00:13:25,250 --> 00:13:28,684
Average people who serve
an extraordinary God,

356
00:13:28,684 --> 00:13:30,830
the Lord can bless their labor.

357
00:13:30,830 --> 00:13:34,263
Not because of us, but 
because of the grace of God.

358
00:13:34,263 --> 00:13:36,133
Please pray for Trevor and his family

359
00:13:36,133 --> 00:13:37,966
as they press on for Christ overseas.

360
00:13:37,966 --> 00:13:39,658
There is much sickness

361
00:13:39,658 --> 00:13:42,833
and always many unexpected trials.
