street preaching at 10:00 a.m. please meet at Andy's barbecue and that if you need the address let me know but if you type in Andy's barbecue on Google Maps you'll see it's like a barbecue place there's there's a parking lot and though we always meet there before you bring it up for signs and mean you know we tell people how to get saved and all that good stuff 10 a.m. next Sunday unfortunately we're back to Wednesday night discipleship and Bible study from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. it's only unfortunate because I won't be able to attend but it's a good midweek service timing it's it's according to our old-time traditions a good thing to have midweek Bible service because let's face it Thursday's a little too close to Sunday so we need we need something Wednesday night to keep us going for the weekday men so we got that 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. this Wednesday and let's see we have this is again the first weeks first Sunday of the month this is our bulletin time so I'm gonna go over the bulletins and we have some prayers answered as well our sister Natalie was able to get into the college that was you know does she like war so that was something that's been on the prayer list for a long time so praise the Lord and Chris our brother Chris he was able to return safely from his trip to Colombia so praise God for that he was protected other fruits the fellowship has been great and again we led three to Christ this morning it's a big day I mean just for leading people and the Lord's been protecting our internet ministry from other cults so praise the Lord for that we have our memory verses listed over here it's in a very organized format we have our memory verses last last month we've been going over or for the past two months we've been going over Romans chapter 10 we're gonna be finishing that up and moving on to Galatians chapter five two of the very most important chapters that we will probably memorize and so this week is gonna be review so last week we did Romans chapter 10 verses 17 to 18 so we'll be reviewing that this week and next week it will be Romans chapter 10 we're gonna finish it up with the last three verses 19 to 21 but that's for next week so this week is review next week is gonna be finishing it up and the next two weeks week three and weeks three and four will be starting Galatians chapter five so again we have our monthly total monthly progress this is for your own record-keeping if you want to keep track of how we've been doing for the Lord sometimes it can be an encouragement when you look back at it you know in the past months like oh wow I've read like this page chapters really so it's pretty good it'll be a surprise if you keep telling it up every day and you kind of write it down write your progress down for the whole month you'd be surprised how much you can do for the Lord so there was a lot of stuff for that there's a lot of detail here so you can check that out so if for the total progress of 2019 so far if an average of 10 members would have continued their Bible reading they would have read a fourth of their Bible already it's hard to April so they would have read a fourth of their Bible an average of 10 members would have spent nearly 12 hours winning lost souls and we would have prayed nearly 200 10 hours for God to save lost souls and meet the needs of fellow Christians and support over 50 ministries in 50 or more different countries we have ministers all over the place missionaries all over the place so we've done that and we would have passed out if we passed out three an average of 10 members passing out three tracks a day we would have passed out 2520 by this time of the year so far we as a church have led 21 souls to salvation and we would have if we kept up with our memorizing we would have memorized one chapter and 18 verses of the Bible the one chapter was Isaiah 53 and the 18 verses from Romans chapter 10 and don't forget the other fruits that I have announced so far so this is our monthly Bible reading plan and this will if you follow this it'll help you get through the Bible at least once in the whole year so we have all these little things you can do to kind of keep track of what you've been doing including numbers of the number of tracks passed out in the time that you prayed and the chapters that you've read I mean you can even go overboard and read like all this in one day - if you want I mean it's up to you so continues to week 3 and week 4 and I will be sending this out as soon as we are done with church so see and we have up we have a huge prayer list it's been growing and that just means that we have more needs in our church so please take a look at these prayer lists this prayer list and you'll see like we have a bunch of means we have souls that we're praying for and people that have we haven't seen for a while in church as well as different ministries and they're even prayer tips up here too if you you know if you're a newcomer and you don't know how to pray we have prayer tips up there too that'll help you out if you know how to pray then it'll still help you out too again this is the second page of the need section as we can see we have a lot of needs in the church lots of people need prayer including ministers in other countries as well we pray for them as well so I always update what they need and from their missionary letters up in this in the need section and we have some people in the church that are in need of health so pray for them too and that is the end of the bulletin so if you keep track this is a nice way to keep track and maybe have a little plan for how you're going to attack the month for the Lord so it'll be it'll be a good thing for you to have now we're gonna have a special pastor a man well I went down to the bookstore just the other day I went to buy a Bible for I had just got saved when I asked to see a Bible I could not understand they had a shelf full 10 feet long each one a different brand they had the ASV and the RSV good news for modern man they seemed to have a version for every cult and Klan the so-called Living Bible and the brand new and IB but I soon found out the devil was the one who started these so I took an ASV to church the preacher preached in Psalms when he starred in reading I knew something was wrong I I wondered if he could not read or was he going blind but I finally figured out he had a different kind was it a Mormon Bible or some book from some religious sect or the new Scofield that's get deep are from the King James tax or the so-called Living Bible or good news for a modern man but I soon found out that all of this was part of Satan's plan so I went back down to the book store to get my money back but when I told them about my problem they just slapped me on the back and said well son some of these Bibles are hard to understand I suggest that you should try couldn't use for a modern man so I took the other version I thought I'd give it a try but when I showed it to my pastor he said it was alive they attacked the blood of Jesus saying he was not God on earth they even put some cuss words in and denied the virgin birth wicked so if you go to buy a Bible please take this good advice take nothing but the old King James the others may sound nice compared with the new translations old King James may seem odd but the difference is expected when you have the word alright so we're going to take up the Lord's offering will be taking will be taking up the Lord's offering all right so I would like to ask brother Shawn and I would like to ask brother Jesse brother Jesse and brother Shawn to come forward and take up the Lord's offering for us and then I would like to ask brother Shawn to open up the offering with the what a prayer please or God we we must worship you in spirit cannot do that we don't have a book that has the truth in it but praise God we do Lord yea I know that that sum was funny a lot of us really literally went through that time trying to find the words of God and I thank you so much that you led us all to the truth please Lord God have each of us to give cheerfully not of necessity not begrudgingly no matter if it's you know the widow's to mites or if we're able to give more lord god I pray that you would just take this offering use it for the furthering of the gospel and use it to help support missionaries use it for necessities of the church and use it at the end of the day to just try to get the gospel out there more so more Souls can get saved name of Jesus Christ I pray all right so um if you'll close your Bibles today if you'll close your Bibles today so we pasta sighs that's what happened hmm today I'm gonna do something very very different I think that only one person here only knows about this who heard my testimony before but I don't think every I don't think the rest of you heard my testimony so the Lord laid upon my heart I'm sure there's a lot of people in here and people online who are curious about my life story so I've been praying and the Lord lay upon my heart to give you my testimony so I will give you a story about myself about how the Lord guided me here today and how I am what I am today my testimony is not like some kind of dramatic interesting great story but I hope that the testimony will be a blessing to you on how God can really use your life if a soul just completely submits to him yeah all right let's stop with the word of Prayer family father I pray that you'll please fill within me the power of your Holy Spirit and wash away my sins with your precious blood and then you'll guide my tongue and then you'll take control over this pulpit and that you will be magnified above all else there are two things that you said that a Christian can use to prophesy your word and I have done that so many times now I go to the other part of prophecy the testimony of Jesus Christ is a spirit of prophecy I'm doing that today Lord and I pray that my life story I don't know how much you affect or help out people but at least they'll give them idea of who gene can is and what kind of church they will be involved with and what kind of a person that I am I'm gonna give them a little bit more closure about myself help me to say the right words and you be glorified in Jesus name we pray amen alright now this part of the story I think that a lot of you heard like a lot of times but it bears repeating that way you can get a bigger idea about myself and how the Lord guided and used my life okay so as you all know or not all but maybe a lot of you already know so my grandfather was at North Korea and then he led them he was in charge of a group that opposed the Korean dictator that time so what they did was they arrested him and they were going to execute him the very next day so my grandfather knew about that and so he escaped the prison and then he swam across the river and then he entered into South Korea from there he met my grandmother and then during that time South Korea was heavily involved in to Buddhism so my grandfather married my grandmother and then a lot of you probably met my dad before so my dad and then my uncle and my aunt they were born at South Korea that time they had over a hundred idols in the temple so then the Koreans that time they would bow down to all those idols including my father now my father he was a rough person he would pick fights he was a mean person and even though he was short no one messed with my dad that time so then he would kind of bully my uncle sometimes during family meetings you know but you know that's like the older brother attitude and my uncle he's like really tall like he's a really tall man and my dad's like really short so that's a little bit of the history with my dad's life and then he entered I think it's called the white tiger division but they were known to be from what I've heard it was like Special Forces and actually they're very mean part of the military they're very scary part so for a mean person like my father that fitted him perfectly so you went over there and then he moved in to America now during those years I don't know exactly when but my grandfather and my grandmother they died before I was even born so I never got to see my grandfather and grandmother to this day we don't know where their souls are for all eternity so I believe that that has burdened my father to have a heavy burden for his family salvation as well as the kind of ministry that he's working in but anyways my father now he moved into America my great-aunt so that would be my dad's aunt my dad's aunt sister - my dad's mother so she became like the parent figure for my father so my father very much treasures her to this day she helped my dad and they came from a very influential rich background actually her husband he sold his company for over a billion dollars so they currently have a mansion at Phoenix Arizona and then they bought it from some kind of baseball player I'm hoping that some cult passed over there at least its soul went over there and at his house and then tried to give them the gospel anyways so some do you know what I'm talking about but anyways let's aside from that but so my my father he got his master's degree at Bentley college at Boston and then he became CPN then he also became a partner of the firm so then my mom and him they worked very hard together to get where they were at so then they finally attained their dream now during that time my mom was pregnant with me and my dad he was a drinker and sometimes he can drink pretty heavy but he hated pastors he hated religion however one by one the Lord would send in a little bit of seeds which is why seeds are important because it doesn't matter if outwardly they seem like they despise your church or religion there's something in the back of their consciousness where someone planted seeds so my dad has this Bible which I believe he still has to this day but the Bible if you look at the front pages the front pages was actually giving a question if you were to have one book that you you would take with you at an island what would it be why is the Bible that important and then it explained about the history of the Bible from Genesis all the way to the end of Revelation so that started to stir my dad's heart like an interest in okay so why is the Bible that important why is Christianity that important so he had then his mind but he didn't show it outwardly outwardly he did not like pastors he did not like church my mom she attended one of the largest if not the largest Presbyterian Church in America and she was involved with the singing over there and everything so she actually can sing very well so she was a faithful church goer now that church did not teach the gospel properly however but my mom was a faithful church goer when she and my dad were in the Northeast that time they were at New Hampshire or some other state I forgot but somewhere up in Northeast when my mom was pregnant with me she believed strongly and going to church so then she wanted to go to church my dad didn't want to go to church but he would look very evil with he sees this pregnant lady who wants to go to church and then he doesn't at least have the courtesy to drop her off so he's like okay I'll drop you off so he took my mom to church and he was planning to drop her off and leave and the one person that that church recognized my dad and he said oh how are you doing and then my dad's like no and then my dad's like smile you know you've seen it in our church right sometimes you see that you know somebody in our church try to get them in and then the lost person would just smile oh hey you know stuff like that and you never know what that might do to change a person's life alright it's always feels like it's a pain in the neck it always feels like it's a waste of time but you never know because I'll tell you what it wasn't a waste of time otherwise we wouldn't have this church today if there wasn't one person who actually did that to keep an eye out on everybody make them feel welcome have them come to church so this person told my persuaded my dad to come inside the service and my dad's like okay I'll go so he went inside the church service and then when he heard the preaching of the word of God the his heart started to stir with conviction despite of all his years of not liking pastors and not liking religion he thought pastors were hypocrites and he lived his life in sin and sometimes he would drink heavy so when the pastor finished preaching he asked for a raise of hands if anyone wanted to receive Christ for salvation my dad actually raised his hand so then the pastor had one of his deacons take my dad aside the Deacon took my dad aside opened up Romans chapter 10 and showed him the plan of salvation and then he after he quoted Romans 10:9 he asked my dad would you like to receive the Lord Jesus Christ for your salvation my dad said yes so he received Christ for his salvation now because my dad he always lived his life being a mean streak and living in wickedness he's not going to convert unless he's really serious about it so when he got saved in the Lord Jesus Christ he was serious all the way he took his liquor poured them all down the drain and he never drank one drop of liquor when I was born I never even seen him struggle with that to this day if he smells alcohol he would get extremely upset because that's how much he disdained sin and that's how much he changed his life back then he would smoke so heavily and drink very heavily and then beat up people and do stuff like that but then now the Lord Jesus Christ changed his life and he was serious for the Lord the pastor left the church and then my dad's like well what other church can I go to and the pastor who was responsible for leading him to Christ he was going to leave so my dad was trying to figure out what other church to go to and the Lord laid it upon that pastor's heart to actually tell my dad this well I hear that the Baptist's are good so that was a very good start so then my dad he went to a Baptist Church and lo and behold even better it turned out to be an independent fundamental Baptist Church so my dad attended that church and like a typical fundamentalist they they just go to church and they just serve God but they don't know much doctrine and then the pastor he would always raise a King James Bible this is the Word of God this is the Word of God this is the Word of God so my dad like any other regular church member would take it for granted that the pastor believed every word in the King James Bible is perfect one time they had a meeting at North Carolina and if you want good preaching you got to hear North Carolina's preachers North Carolina preachers they can preach and I mean they preach really good so the pastors name is Noah Frye and Noah Frye he preached a sermon on guess what it is hell it was hell it was that particular sermon that got my dad under conviction and surrendered himself and he said here am i with a beautiful house beautiful living situation I've got two kids I got all the money in the world and what about my people who are going to hell so that burdened him incredibly so then he was serious for the Lord he wants to enter the ministry so he was serious about entering the ministry and then during that time the king of the Korean fundamentalist churches his name is Jack Baskin Jack Baskin so he is connected with pulse chapels ministry at Lancaster Baptist Church so then my dad was being trained by his fundamentalist pastor who tried to get him in touch with Jack Baskin and Jack Baskin found a church for my dad and he communicated with my dad here and there and then he told my dad I I found you a church Atlanta at Atlanta that you can pastor and then my dad talked to him on the phone and then he said okay let me think and pray about it and then when he hung up the phone very same time he got another phone call he picked it up and the person says um you know I'm looking for houses to sell just wondering if you're interested in selling your house now my dad took that as a sign that this is it the Lord called me to go now whether my mother was in the flesh or whether it was God the Holy Spirit or whatever ultimately God was in control and she said and told my dad no I you know this is too soon you know let's just wait a little bit wait a little bit it's too soon so then what happened that time was that I don't know how much long but it was within the same month it wasn't too long this other pastor now he was responsible for having a revival meeting and having Noah Frye preach so my dad attended that revival meeting now this pastors name was Tim Cronin when Tim Cronin got familiar with my dad he knew that he had a burden for the mission field and stuff like that so then he thought about you know I think he's going to like this guy's book so he dropped off he knocked on the door no one was there so he left this person's book in front of the doorstep and left my dad picked it up it was called problem text by Peter s Rahman and then my dad read it and then oh my goodness and then he was like overjoyed and he was like man this man answered all of my questions so then my dad out of great joy he showed it to his fundamentalist pastor in great joy saying knowing that the fundamentalist pastor would be would share the same joy as well and would probably invite Peter up and to preach because this guy's a smart guy no no my dad was shocked the pastor said oh yeah he was divorced we married oh yeah blah blah blah this he thinks that there are different salvation plans in the Bible bla bla bla bla bla bla but then the pastor said something that really shocked my dad the pastor said ruffman thinks every word in the King James Bible is like perfect and then my dad got shocked he was like wait a minute you said whenever you preach this is the Word of God you're telling me it's not 100% the Word of God oh his hand got caught in the cookie jar see fundamentalist they're not gonna be brave enough to tell you every single word in the King James Bible is perfect they're not going to say that you pulled them out you pulled that out of their mouth when you visit their church next time and then you'll see but anyways when his hand got caught in the cookie jar and then the pastor he knew he got caught so you know what he said after that well I believe it's 99.9 percent perfect because it's not the originals so like that makes a difference you know like there's only 0.1% mistake in the King James Bible some of my dad's like okay bye-bye then so then he left three weeks later that pastor moved out that church so I don't know if it's because my dad was the biggest tiger or what but my dad went to Tim Cronin's Church instead and then he was he received his training from Tim Cronin and then he was in contact with Noah Frye who was responsible for his sermon to change my dad's life and my dad just bought every single material from dr. Ruffman during that same time the Lord was dealing with my mother's heart and then she loved the Lord but she worked so hard to get where she was at today to let finally attain a comfortable lifestyle so then she what during that time she was raising me and my brother now when I was born my mother she lifted me up to God like Hannah and then she surrendered me to the Lord and said Lord whatever you want to do with my baby he is yours he gave she gave me up to God there's nothing more precious to a mother than her own child from her own flesh and blood but she was willing to give me up to God and then they gave me my name Gene Hawk which is like free flowing free flowing water like truth so I believe that that name bear to stamp upon me today so I move freely by the grace of God and I'm gonna stand for the whole truth and nothing but the truth and that's the kind of person that I am I don't believe that it was a coincidence that the Lord gave me bless me with that name today but little do they know what would happen so when me and my brother were raised I was the slower person my brother he was a quicker person so he would pick up things like really fast and me I would be the incredible slow guy so then my parents were a little bit concerned about me so they would be concerned about me so Lord he is yours and then all of a sudden here's this guy who's a little slow he hasn't been walking yet and it's been like a year and they're like man I'm really worried when I was born I would cry non-stop non-stop and then my parents were so baffled and they were wondering what are we doing wrong Lord he's yours this is an impossible kid so my uncle he his job was taking care of babies so then whenever we have a family get together my mom would bring me over my uncle would go oh and he nicknamed me the Prince of crybabies out of all the babies that he's taken care of so my family could not understand why I overtly cried it wasn't until I was five that they realized I could not breathe through my nose so I so he wasn't until I was 14 years of age I finally had laser nose surgery and then I was finally able to breathe through my nose but they found a lot of bacteria at the bone so then they would use a knife and they would scrape it off they scraped off the infection there so that's why to this day if you see your pastor having some kind of breathing or you know nasal problems etc it's because of my history back then so then my brother was a smart guy but he was more of the troublemaker and then me I was I was more of the good boy but I was a very slow person that was a very slow person so it's like my parents they're like I wish you guys would just kind of you know go a little yin and yang here but then we were just totally on the opposite spectrums but the thing is is that my parents they raised us right so they strictly made us go to a Christian school and most of our years it was homeschool they used the Abeka Academy school that time so a Becca Academy me and my brother were raised at that program and then we would watch the videos online and then my mother would always check us up and then she as a mother even though she had her struggles about my dad entering the ministry she strongly believed in raising me and my brother right in a proper Christian home function so she played a big part people know in my dad's Church if you're a little kid you can't get around my mom my mom it's like she knows how to deals with kids because she dealt with me and my brother and she knew all the things so during her whole life she raised us strictly right and then if me and my brother would cry to dad guess who and my dad believe my mom all right you know you would believe my mom because mom knows everything mom would know everything if we get spanked you know if we get spanked by mom dad would go oh honey you know they need to get spanked you know and then when my dad started to read more of ruffman's materials I guess he got more serious so then he would be the one who would spank us more and we would go mommy's like no no mommy no mommy no mommy I remember one time I can't believe I sometimes I have the foggiest memories of some things all right but I remember one time that my dad was in his office and all of his Rutman books and it was cassette tapes that time they were surrounding the whole bedroom and then he was spanking my brother and then like this and I knew that I was in trouble too so then I sneaked off like this before I before I start to run now now I was the dumb one see I was the dumb and slow one my brother was a quick one so when he would get spanked he would know how my dad's pattern would go I just get hit you know I'm the dumb slow one my brother he was smart so he would aim at a particular direction where it would land so that doesn't hurt him as much and he learned where he's going to have to say ouch even though it doesn't really out that way the father can get it that okay he's hurting like one time my dad I don't know what he did I think he punched his arm or something like that or spanked him and my brother just looked at him like this oh my god got even more mad and I know and then my brother's like oh and that's so he learned to always scream next time so I guess I'm giving kids good advice you know when you get in trouble okay but anyway so we were raised at a proper Christian home function so we knew what was wrong and my parents raised us right so my mom had at least that kind of mindset but then my mom she was very troubled about entering the ministry because we're gonna give up everything practically and she was mostly concerned with me and my brother because she was concerned about our welfare how are we gonna strive for education how are we gonna grow and then then so she was praying to the Lord about it and when she was praying to the Lord she surrendered three things to the Lord and then she's told God specifically these three things so the first thing she mentioned about okay Lord I'm concerned about such-and-such and what happened is the pastor preached a sermon that hit my mother's direct concern coincidentally my mom's like saying like a lot of you people would say how did he know that someone tell him that so then she prayed the second time to the Lord okay lord I can't okay that thing surrendered I get it what about the second area the second area the pastor preached directly on that second area and then she's like wow okay she prayed one more time to the Lord and directed her third concern to the Lord and the Lord answered her prayer on that one as well and so my mom she was convinced this was God's will so she surrendered her life to the Lord in the meantime my dad he would always pray three at the morning I would remember as a little kid if I would wake up at the middle of the night to go to the bathroom I would see him on his knees pray and then he would go to work as soon as he finished his work he'd come back home and then read all the books listen all the cassette tapes to this day it doesn't matter how much knowledge I have you'd be surprised how many times that I would ask my dad about so you know even though I attended ruckman school what did you learn because my dad he studied every single material he was very serious so anyways when my mom surrendered to the Lord her favorite song to this day was his eye is on the sparrow and I know he watches me because the pastor read from the text at Matthew chapter 5 6 & 7 that if God can take care of the lilies of the field and the birds of the air how much can he take care of you so because of that that touched my mom's heart and realized everything's gonna be alright if I enter the ministry well so my dad took a car that was older than me and then my mom told me and my brother that would you be willing to become pastor sons and you're gonna have to give up all these toys all these nice clothes just pick the best ones you've got and so we did maybe we were too young or maybe because we were raised right but we were willing to become pastors children so then because of that we all move so we drove from New Hampshire by car and then two weeks we were my dad want to reach his other friends family members that he knew up during that trip so during that time when he was visiting them he took opportunity to witness to them about Jesus Christ he entered California we started at a preschool and in this preschool he started out with one member who hardly came and a grandmother so he's been going like this for six months and then he me and my brother would and my mom would pass out tracks and then we would try to do witnessing but he stayed faithful to the Lord he knew that Korean churches at that time that they were teaching apostasy heretical doctrines and that his church was the only write Korean Bible believing Church that time this was during the 90s that time so because of that he was serious about okay Lord I got to start something right here and then whereas he kept pastoring the church what happened was is that he had an opportunity to write an article at the Korean newspaper so you know with much wisdom and carefulness and love and prayer he kicked the world's the koreans Korea's most famous pastor that was a wise move first article just kicked the first most famous pastor when he did that oh my goodness you know the whole world got mad all the Koreans got mad and then they were marching to the news companies they got mad at my dad because the world's largest pastor today is in Korea his name is Jung hee Cheol that's the person my dad kicked oh they threw a fit they got mad and then some of my relatives got in hot water because of that and then some of them would tell my dad could you just kind of simmer it down a bit and my dad would go okay all right and then the next article he kicked a different Korean pastor after that so then what happened was now the article was no more larger than an advertisement size and then the font was pretty small so then there were people who were actually reading them and giving him phone calls and then they asked questions and then my dad would answer the questions for them and then what happened was is that because of that he started to get more people into church now is that amazing that how the Lord blessed him with more people into church was not trying to get along with everybody but rather exposing wrong doctrine out there and kicking false prophets how about that how about that everyone has their own way of building a ministry and I'm not encouraging that you don't you can't act like a jerk but you got to realize this is that you can't think that your ministry is all about getting along with everybody and that if the pastor starts to criticize some false prophet out there that you think oh you know that's not of God no you don't know if that is of God that God's using that so then more people start to open their eyes about the king Bible and then the bible-believing truth and they start to attend church during that time me and my brother we were the only people at Sunday school class and my mom would teach us and after that some other people started teaching us and then two people who I considered to be my big brothers they were they were Jae Hyun Joo and Jae wook Joo these two people have been a special part in my life because they were my youth pastors they saw me grow up so these two brothers they also sacrificed very heavily to the Lord what happened was back then when they started to serve God and start to help out my dad's Church that they were at a dilemma where their family actually did not like my dad and his church and they probably thought him to be a cult which is not a surprise because his church was the only one standing for truth he's very different from all the other churches see so then because of that the family told the Jew brothers that basically okay it's either that church or your family and then they sacrificed and then chose that church so then because of that they stayed with us a couple years actually that time so but they gave it all up for Jesus Christ they truly gave up family for Jesus Christ and then because and then what happened was the Lord restored the family and then the Lord has blessed their lives and their families lives to this day but it took sacrifice first took sacrifice love and faithfulness and they would come on time every time for church they would help out the pastor so faithfully my dad he taught me this is to not trust people easily until probably like a 10-year gap but he knows that he could trust this brother brother Jae Hyun Joo and Jae wook true he knows these guys because these people actually went through crisises and even times when my dad was at the bottom they were there for him so it's because of that that's why they they've been a very special part of my life and because of that they changed my life so they helped me a lot does this one person I will not mention his name but this one person he came from Texas and then he had a burden to become a missionary to Korea when he came to my dad's church my dad's Church they were all serious Korean people but he came from the South he was from a fundamentalist church in the south so these people would just go amen praise the Lord and all of us Koreans would look at him kind of funny that he's weird and then the that the brother that time he actually said y'all can just ignore my son he's strange he's weird he just loves Jesus that's all and then when I heard that I'm like well I love Jesus too so I start to get into the amen so to this day if you see me do Amen it's has a history from some people at Texas but this person had a great he really loved the youth people he struggles so much with work drive two hours and then he'd help out the youth people make it fun exciting he was a he was in the Marines and then he was also a really big bodybuilder so we all looked up to him we respected him and because of him his love for Jesus and his preaching and teaching it changed my life dramatically so I was motivated to love Jesus Christ through his preachings and teachings and then when Jade brother Jay wooju returned he went to dr. upman school and then he returned back to my dad's church and when he returned to my dad's church he would just go amen hallelujah whoa and I'm like what did you learn that ruffman's school so then I realize so then I was like I guess this is something at the South you know they would be like really shouting you know and I heard stories about them running around and stuff like that I go wow okay that's new so believe it or not your pastor you know he was I know what it's like to be at a serious environment and then so all of this was new to me and then what happened was is that because I noticed that when he came from pbi how much he had an increase for soul-winning loving Jesus and praising the Lord and all that and I was like man you know this PPI must be something so then I was studying into ruckman stuff now the thing is this is that I was actually raised with the skeptical mindset believe it or not so I wanted to do what's right and I love God and I love Jesus but I was raised with a very skeptical mindset I probably would have been the next Karl Marx or Charles Darwin raised at some kind of some sort of Christian upbringing and become one of the worst devils out there I I really believe that I could have been one of them because I saw everything and then I had a skeptical mindset but then there was one thing that I had in my heart was that I in my heart I wanted to do what's right so when when I grew up I was always I always had an open mindset and I knew that there was something different about our church compared to all other people out there there was no doubt about that there was something genuine and real so then I was walking at that time with questions but also observing things and then during that time the Lord touched my heart where I surrendered my all to the Lord Jesus Christ at the age of 14 at 14 I sir that was the age and I surrendered all to Jesus I said Lord whatever sin that I have in my heart I surrender it to You Lord God whatever issues I have I'm even willing I am scared to die for your name but I am willing to even do that for you Lord Jesus I did that at the age of fourteen because I surrendered at an early age I was not influenced by the worldly wicked things out there so it is very important you know that you surrender yourself to Jesus Christ you got to make a determination and the mindset right now not later on when you grow up right now you might say why is that pastor because you're gonna grow up in a Christian home and then you're gonna know all the do's and don'ts and then what happens is is that when you get influenced or touched by the world out there or by what television teaches you or when you enter the schools and what's gonna happen is they're gonna send poison in your mind and because you know all the do and Do's notes of Christianity what's gonna happen is you're gonna get influenced by the world and get sucked into them here's something you got to understand you can't become a Christian because mommy and daddy made you that way the reason why I became what I am it is true I had good parents that raised me right but that's not why I stayed right why I stayed right was because I made the decision myself to figure out okay what is truth what is not truth what is right what is wrong what am I going to spend my life on because I thought that way that's why I did not budge you know what we live in a day and age of pure ignorance people who don't care they just want to go with the flow with whatever they want and if you're like that you're going to be a sucker to this machine and the devil is gonna catch you real easily so this you got to understand you have to make a decision now you have to make a determination right now if you don't do that you will be swayed by the world the flesh and the devil that is very important to understand so I made that determination at 14 so because of that that's what prevented me from falling because the Lord knew my heart was right and because he knew my heart was right he knew that even though I was skeptical I had questions and I had my own personal struggles that he would see me through what happened was is that dr. Otteman was getting older and then my dad was getting concerned and he was like hey you know you should go to pbi you don't know when he's gonna die so you better go you know real soon and then me I was like well you know let me pray about it let me think and pray about it and then we're not the thing that I hated the most now listen listen up you probably don't realize this if there was one thing I hated the most of my Christian life was witnessing you think that this pastor is very confident very good with words when dealing with situations people and witnessing to people and debunking the hardest arguments no I hated talking to people my brother knows this too how you hon you most of the time a loner guy and most of the time a loner died but I hated talking to people and I especially hated witnessing because I was really bad so then I was witnessing to this Muslim and this Muslim you more Bible than I did and then when when I saw that I was under conviction and I was like okay God you convicted me I'm gonna go to PBI I need to get all my ducks in a row I have a whole bunch of questions in my mind I want to study your word I want to grow in grace and all that so I was sixteen years of age when I went to PBI so I was doing home school while doing PPI at the same time so I was going through both school systems and then during that time pbi was another factor that changed my life forever so pbi from there I was actually around people who had so much passion for the Lord they would have prayer meetings together they would have brothers teaming up with each other and going out soul-winning there would be bold and street preaching they would criticize every false doctrine and false prophet out there and I would enjoy criticizing with him when we joke around and I would enjoy the time when we would care and love another person we would mention that person's name and then we would pray together and I thought that PB I was actually a filled with mean people because dr. Otteman is infamously known for looking mean when he preaches but when I went in there I was very shocked how very loving the people were over there and then I also understood why they were so strong in their stance or they appeared mean when it came to preaching and teaching it's because when it comes to wrong doctrine and sin that hurts and damages innocent souls who wouldn't have righteous indignation for that this is not something to tippy-toe on this is something you need to oppose so my experience that pbi answered all my questions dad class is going with Greek and Hebrew church history they would go through manuscript evidence and then he asked a class called advanced theology and advanced theology had nothing to do with theology philosophy you have to do with evolution had to do with psychology and then dr. Otteman you know he would always joke around this is one of the worst classes and you all get into you're all gonna get bored and then all the pbi students are saying ah like that you know I know I know I don't like to teach us too but you gotta know this stuff blah blah blah blah and a lot of people got c's and d's in that class you know because and the dr. Otteman would read all these psychological works and then these evolution works and especially philosophy and then people who goes like that you know like that so then dr. Otteman but because dr. Upton was the one that's teaching it we always had fun because he would poke fun at that and he said how many of you understood that what he just said and then practically no one would raise her hand except three and he said yeah see you know I mean none of you understand this kind of stuff and then because of those classes he trained me so much on being prepared for the outside world he taught everything earned me everything on all the wrong doctrines what I'm going to face in higher education and etc so PB I changed my life forever it also brought back my passion for soul winning because I was at the military ministry visitation Street preaching and I was with brothers who also had a desire for winning souls he picked up my desire for soul winning once more and so because of that I had a passion for winning souls and talking to them how to get saved it brought back my desire once more but see it came with the encouragement of people who attended soul-winning and if you would just simply attend you don't even have to witness just watch just come and watch how they do street preaching and visitation and you'd be surprised how easy it is they'll beat witness at the beginning it's always hard and scary but if you just you don't have to witness they'll keep just watch and see just come and attend and you'd be surprised how the Lord can work it out from there and the people who can understand there are the ones who attended who visited they can understand that fact so I encourage you to do that and then you're like man pastor you led hundreds of souls to salvation how did do that brethren it's not my effort I was like you I was scared I hate it so many I hated witnessing but I just attended that was it and the Lord took away my fear from there yeah anyways after that when I graduated pbi I went back to my home church I also got my master's degree from pbi and then I eventually got my doctorate degree from dr. up men right before he passed away so that was an incredible blessing Cyrus I received my master's degree basically I wrote a thesis about loud to say in churches that was my minor thesis and my major species was defending Bible believing truth so concerning dispensationalism the King James Bible issue so because of that background that's why it helped me today when I teach you dispensationalism in the King James Bible that was those were my thesis for the master's degree and then my doctorate degree I had to pick a very unique subject because the school they do not give doctorís they do not do that so unless you consult them privately and you win their impression then you can get it so I had to win their impression and they said that they needed a thesis that was totally unique unheard of so then IRA I proposed that I would write the history of Christianity in Korea from the Tower of Babel all the way to today so he's like ok so then he circled that and then I I just wrote I just made sure that this was gonna be a doctorate paper so I put over 800 footnotes in there I was like this should get it for me because they had very high standards and then I received at that time when I went back to my home church I believe strongly that because I have been blessed with so much knowledge and wisdom and spiritual growth that I should at least take it to my home church I did not know God's will for me at that time I was praying and waiting on the Lord but I believe that while waiting on the Lord I should help out my home church because they needed help so during that time I struggled a lot pbi I actually believe it or not I wanted to live in pbi the reason why was it's all spiritual over there I have good friends over there etc back at home Church I have to be the spiritual pillar I'm not gonna have all the friends I have to work these people up and I'm gonna have to go to my own trials and temptation and struggles so I returned that 19 years of age to my home church after graduating and then during that time I sacrificed my entire youth to help people draw closer to Jesus I did not develop friends I do not develop enough encouragement and I had to work really hard I was attending Community College that time and then while I was working from the bottom of Community College I also helped out with my dad's church I also went full-time at - into work and during those times I think my brother was there at that time but during those times I would sleep like only four hours and it was hell I was very worn out and there were days when I would come to Sunday School class and then guess what no one's at the sunday school class high most of the time had one person all the time I was like well Lord I surrender myself to you this is training ground for me you're trying to build me up for something else and the Holy Spirit talked to my heart and he said this while I was tired gene if you can't pass this stage that I'm taking you in how can you pass the next one I'm gonna take you in so because of that I was determined to go through it for God so I went through it I went through it I gritted my teeth and went through it during that time what happened is then the burdens became lighter and then the Lord gave me more rest and peace and then not only that the Lord took care of my problems and predicaments so during that time I was surrendering to the Lord I didn't know what his calling was one of the preachers he told me that he thinks that I should become a evangelist because he saw me preach and he says you know brother you should definitely become a evangelist you have a gift for preaching and then I told them well let me pray about it and then I was like well how do evangelists skin meetings and then he mentioned about contacting all the pastor's mailing them stuff so I was gonna do that now there was a person who I graduated PPI together with his last name is Hernandez and Hernandez he started a church at Palm Springs so because he and I were close friends visitation partners I was like you know I'll start at his church so I gave him a call and told him that hey brother I don't know if the Lord called me to be an evangelist but if that's the case I want to start out at your I want to start speaking at your church and Hernandez said sure that's great and then his wife called me months later and she was crying and I was like what's going on and then she said my husband died and they left behind six children and then because of that what happened was is that the church was very shy in you too it was only six months old so the church was going to close it was like no one was taking over I went to his funeral I was grieved and then me and my dad were talking and then we were like wondering maybe the Lord's will is for me too pastor this church maybe it's a pastor not Eve Angeles so then I prayed and then my dad prayed early in the morning as usual which is not surprised when I wake up in the morning he's on his knees praying when I went to him he told me you should pass for that church and I'm like okay that was quick and then he told me that he called pastor Donovan and that he explained to pastor Donovan the situation and that pastor Donovan said let him try it out and see what happens so then when I heard that and then I was think sitting down and thinking I was like yeah you know I mean if I'm not called to be a pastor the doors gonna close and I'll just go back to my old ways of trying to be an evangelist if I can find a meeting out there so what happened was we started our church first service and then the Lord he took care of it from there he found us a room where we can have a church service the manager was actually a Baptist and the owner was a Korean so it worked out from there and then sew in Palm Springs if you go to Palm Springs it's over a hundred degrees out there we would go 5:00 in the afternoon knocking on the doors and then I would be on my tie that's right on my tie on my Sunday best and then I would be drenched in sweat and witnessing to a person and then I would a street preacher in the midday Sun and we'd all street preach and I had four or five guys and we'd all street preach and then one time we knock that at Jehovah Witness door so this Jehovah Witness didn't knock on our door we knocked on her door so she answered the door and she actually said this oh I you guys are the ones who are preaching on the streets aren't you so our testimony was spreading so the Lord used our work in our ministry during that time I also did a wedding there and I also did a funeral as well over there the funeral was really sad because um one of my members her name is Maria her daughter was shot by gangsters so I was at all the way at Santa Monica okay if you don't know how far that is just look it up okay it's further away than LA when you go all the way to Palm Springs that was that Santa Monica attending Community College over there and I would drive all the way to Palm Springs and then so during that time I would go back and forth and I get this call in the middle and I'm like oh my goodness so then Maria's family they were Catholics from Mexico oh oh okay and guess what they do not like me they wanted a priest to do the funeral so then what happened was they worked out a compromise that they would take the the priest can do his hocus-pocus dominocus with his wafer at the wake and then we and then I can do the I can do the funeral service all right so we worked out a compromise after that so we're like okay now what happened was is that they sneaked all of sudden during the funeral service and then if if you said they were like 300 Mexicans over there oh and I was only 21 that time I was like this is my first funeral this is what I get so then I'm like oh my goodness and then you know probably half the families wants to stone me to death I'm like okay this is gonna be fun and all of a sudden mr. priest walks in and I'm like what are you doing here this is my I was like ok what's going on then I went to Maria's like I thought this was gonna be you know I'm taking care of the funeral service but the priest came in and then he said he's gonna take care of the service talk to the relatives you know grandma wanted her own way so then they worked out a deal where I'm gonna have to share the service with him I was like this is not gonna be good so then the Lord the priest he actually told me that yeah so it looks like we're gonna have to do it together and you can go first if you want and I was like nope you can go first that's what I told him because I know what's gonna happen because after I preach and he's gonna speak and all the people are gonna think that we're sharing the same doctrine together so what I had to do was after he was done preaching I had to fix his sermon so after he did his sermon I fixed his sermon I said that it doesn't matter you know about putting the water you know on the casket or reading a passage you know or saying some prayers and I pointed I pointed at the casket I said she is in heaven because not of any of those things she is in heaven because she had received Jesus Christ as her Lord and Savior and then and then my dad's Church was there to back me up because they knew how stressed I was they would go painted and you know like that back right there and then so I kept preaching on and then when I gave that whole sermon I said okay every head bowed every eye shut and every you know my usual routine right so that's how you would see my routine to this day online it's because that's how the Lord used it and then I said okay no one's looking around no one knows who you are okay how many of you want to get saved in the Lord Jesus Christ and then half of the ark I saw half of the whole room 300 raising their hands I was shocked I was like let's pray and then I was like dear God and then I heard my dad at the back going dear God I'm like I'm a sinner and my dad's like he was very excited so he was getting excited and then all the people started all these people said it out loud they said it out loud without shame dear God dear God it was like victory cry against a cat against the Catholic grandmother and the priest cuz they were so angry they were super ticked just hearing that and then when and then the Lord worked it out where there was a missionary from Mexico who dropped by to see his brother who was a member in our church Ovilus to Mexico he just came to drop by and it was at that same time that we were sending up the funeral service I was like this may not be a coincidence brother and Avila said it may not be a coincidence either so after I was done he went to preach in Spanish so Catholic grandma had no excuse so when he preached in Spanish he got to the lake of fire part and then she wailed like she wailed and then because of that the preacher just stopped preaching and then went back to his seat after that so I was like oh you done he's like yep I done yeah because he didn't want to cost more problem so it was really bad but the Lord accomplished his goal they heard the gospel without an excuse and not only that that's more than a hundred people who got saved oh and then uh dad a big tall guy who was like the uncle in the family he looked down at me and he just loved it like that and the Lord gave me wist I said okay I understand you're angry but right now is not a good time you know everyone's sensitive right now and we can talk about this after the funeral service and then he was so ticked off that he just kept yelling and then all the other people looked at him and they say Shh like that and then one of the people who is a charismatic pastor he was a charismatic speaking in tongue a little a pastor but he was so happy with my preach he said man thank God that was a good preaching you know and then he was like and then when he saw the priests doing that he looked at me and said pastor he says part of the service no that's not my service and then every time you did that that charismatic pastor just kept saying oh and those Catholics kept glaring at us I was like but it was funny how you know I had a charismatic backing me up so there's a charismatic pastor yeah he was backing me up then he said man those good preaching thank you so much for that blah blah blah so the Lord intervened and then after the funeral service what did I do I ran away I went back home after that I was like yep okay bye I'm done you know I went back after that but that was one of the most incredible experiences I'll never forget that the Lord blessed me with then I then my dad mentioned to me that there were two families who needed a pastor over there and during that time I was accepted into Berkeley so I was like wondering is it God's will for me to move and then so I prayed to the Lord and then it was Berkeley who was the only one that gave me scholarship and not only that there was a pastor who was willing to take my place at Palm Springs so because of that the Lord worked it out I preached my sermon and I still have it in my file if because I don't know if I might use it one day but I titled it the last sermon and so I preached that last sermon to them gave them my farewell and then went to Berkeley that time so during that time I saw out with two families and we went on for several years several years so we went through one year with just Koreans and then during that time the next year after that and came this big white guy and then I he was like yeah I was blown up at a helicopter at Vietnam and then I used to be part of Hells Angels and I was weak and blah and I was like oh wow this guy's a character his name was Charles Johnson big Chuck he was it was the first white guy in our church and then when I and I was like and then I was only in my early 20s that time and then we had this guy who talked a lot and then we had serious Korean people and I'm like how much the pecs are this I'm gonna pass through this but then see the Lord was taking me through every situation to grow and to learn during that time big Chuck he I call him big Chuck but he told me that he had an opportunity where I can teach him preach at the Salvation Army so that I preached and taught at the Salvation Army and after I preached and taught I asked how many of you are willing to receive Christ for your salvation and nearly the entire room they had these people raising their hands and that's the first years how we get the large number of sources because of the Salvation Army that time so I would witness to them Chuck would witness to them and then all these people would come to our class not the other Bible classes at the Salvation Army they would come to ours because they're like man and he's actually feeding us he's actually teaching us and they're giving the gospel over there so the Lord used me mightily over there that time so I spent three years over there and then after about one more year with Chuck so is about two years and then the Lord sent in another person in our church his name is Tim and I'm gonna give him credit to him credit is due but this brother had it not been for him we would not be we would not have a church today so this man would bike his way to church with a bicycle and he would he strongly believed in offering and the day that he left our church he believed in at least leaving us a large sum of money when he left that large sum of money that kept us going for a year or two because what happened because what happened was the money was shrinking and I was going what are we gonna do with the offering and everything we did not drop one missionary that whole time it was completely by faith because of one person who gave we were supporting four missionaries at time and we were small and the money was shrinking then all of a sudden the Lord sent in somebody to give during that time then we saw other people coming in we that was when Shawn came to our church and then Tom also came to our church and then other people during that time that was when they all had a passion and a fire and everyone started soul-winning and then we were also winning we were all witnessing Tom he was a little bit concerned because he was growing up from a Catholic background so he felt very uneasy about Protestants but then I guess it was through my testimony where I could drive hours over there and I he was attending he was a safe Christian but he attended his Catholic Church because he wanted to win them to Christ and I think that went on for six months or a year or something like that something like that but me I never pressured him to come to my church I let the Lord deal with this heart during that time Shawn he was watching so many things online and I didn't have time because I was busy with my stuff and then he would show me this video and every time he would show me a video I would go okay I'll take a look at night study and I studied and then Shawn I was like wow this is a lot of work a lot of work but then despite of a lot of work what I did you notice this despite of a lot of work with people in the church the Lord put on my life no one's perfect you got understand but despite of a lot of work where different people come from different cultures background in etc they turned out to be the greatest assets in my life that I can depend on today that's why it's very important to have patience with one another love for one another because you never know how much the person can turn out to be a great blessing in the end so what happened was is that Shaun realized through my witnessing that this was the right path to go to so because of that his internet viewing has dropped immensely where I mean trust me if you think that he watches a lot back then he was watching ok good watching a lot but then he started to filter it down more and focus a lot on witnessing and it was on I think within two years he led a hundred souls of salvation and then during that time Eric he did not like it when Tom was coming to our church and that and he did not like it how you know we owe your Protestant because they would get on Protestant and Eric would get on Protestants and try to get them back to the Catholic Church Mother Church so then Eric he told him one day you know bro I'm praying for you one day you'll come back to our church you'll come back to our church now what happened was is that Eric he saw Tom's track lying on the floor this was your life and then he read it but he was doing some research himself and then when he picked up that track he got saved and then so Eric told Tom hey I got saved bro and Tom looked at him he's like man I thought you were gonna go to hell I thought you weren't gonna get saved you know so then Eric it was a miracle that he got saved and then one of their relatives actually told Eric man there's something you got to do about your brother I heard that he's going to that church and you know you got to work on him and something like that and Eric they didn't know that Eric just got convert at that time and a hair achelous he was just laughing inside he's like thinking man if only they know I got converted to so these two brothers would come to our church that time so everyone was Street preached and everyone was soul-winning we were on fire and then after but what happened was is that then the trials and the temptations start to hit in where we thought that we were going to grow and move out we dropped again and then I dropped to two to three people and then I was very discouraged and I was like you know why am i doing wrong and then but sister iris with me all the way to the bitter end and she would during that time she went through her own personal struggles and I saw her and she would drive through San Francisco traffic while she's going through her personal struggle and just joined me for just a one-hour street preaching on the middle of the week and then I just go back home and she just goes back home yes I did encourage her I didn't fellowship much with her but she stuck with me all the way and because of that I because of her it encouraged me to go then there was another couple Rick and Mary and they stuck with me they lived at Monterrey and they would drive over an hour and they would faithfully attend and because of these people they encouraged me as well if it weren't for these two groups I would not continue pastoring today they hung out for me work for one and a half to two years until that time then we start to see old members returning so the old members started to return and I start to see new faces one by one and then we were stuck in a dinky little room but then it started to gradually grow and then after that then the Lord burden upon my heart to do something more on the internet ministry because there was so much heresy in there and I was so grieved and I was like you know somebody's got to tell the truth out there so then I picked up a whiteboard and then I picked up ideas from YouTube and then I did my best and I just surrendered it to the Lord till that time the internet start to gradually grow it didn't spurt it gradually grew and the church membership also gradually grew so the Lord was doing two things at once for me and then finally after that then all of a sudden then the Lord started to send in more people and then the internet there were one or two a couple videos that start to hit viral and then we started to get thousands and thousands as thousands of subscribers and then because of that what happened now today is that we the Lord blessed me so much to a point now where we finally are able to get our own building now and we're the largest Baptist Church on YouTube today but how this all happened was because of a person who surrenders all to God and goes through the sacrifice what is very important to understand is I don't know what trial or temptation or situation you go through but the lesson learned is this if you go through the trial that's how you become powerful there were many times I want to stop pastoring but I didn't now I became the man that I am today some people around the world think that I'm famous but I'm actually not I'm just a nobody I'm just a person who just went to a typical struggle and never learnt never learned to quit so it's important that you humble yourself you submit to God's will you always self reflect and yield to how he molds and moves you when you do that this is how you gain the fruit you know how you gain fruit you go through trial that's all bow with the word of Prayer God my father I pray that my life it's not an interesting it's not a really dramatic story but I pray that it has been something where they can learn their lesson and they'll take it to heart to become great Lord to become powerful is going through much hardship and going through it and yielding to how you move and change us I pray that you bless the lunch hour dismiss us now your blessing in Jesus name we pray amen out of all the wrong doctrines that's happening in our day and age at the last days of the church as the apocalypse is coming even closer the point of all this friend is that you won't be even able to grow in knowledge of the truth in Bible believing truth until you get safe first the most important question you have to ask yourself after watching all this is if you were to die today are you a hundred percent sure that you're going to go to heaven perhaps one of these wrong doctrines have affected you and you had the improper way of salvation as you have seen before the way to get saved is very simple it's only simply salvation by grace alone without works through the Lord Jesus Christ in this Christian day and age if you're not sure that you can go to heaven after you die it's very simple to get saved first of all you have to understand that because of sin God is a holy God and he cannot even allow one percent of sin into heaven so he has to judge sin with a burning hell so it is very important that you got to realize how serious sin is and you must repent you might say well then I guess I have to clean up all my sins I guess I have to go to church I guess I have to get baptized I have to I have to be a good person you know my friend good works can never save you Jesus is God who died buried and resurrected so that he can pay all the sins for you you don't have to pay a single sin for yourself so all you have to do as a repentant sinner is turn to what he did on the cross alone for your salvation you might say well pastor I do believe only on what Jesus did on the cross to save me that's great then all you have to do is just say that to the Lord you might say well preacher I haven't prayed much before in my life I don't know really how to say it to God can you help me out sure you could say it this way dear God I know I'm a sinner as I repent I put my faith that Jesus is God and that he died buried and resurrected so that his blood can wash away my sins I put my faith in that alone to save me not my good works in Jesus name I pray amen congratulations my friend if you meant it with all your heart that you put your faith only on what Jesus did on the cross through his blood to save you then you are saved it's that simple my friend now my friend it is important to grow in Bible believing truth you now know the truth what are you going to do about it as the apocalypse comes even more closer and Sainz about his to set up his kingdom even more there are many souls dying and going to hell and even many more churches out there who don't know right and wrong doctrine it is up to you now on what to do and go to our resources site WWB BBC english org and click on the resources link over there and they'll give you everything that you need to grow in grace the next step of your journey now is up to you we've done our part giving you this movie all of it was done for free by the love of the people god bless you or should we just stick to the Sermon on the mountain a passage that is so radical that it's doubtful that our own Defense Department would survive its application James only ism is double standards now there's a false doctrine out there called dispensationalism yeah I don't believe once saved always saved the God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction jealous and proud of it a petty unjust unforgiving control-freak a vindictive bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser a misogynistic homophobic racist infanticidal genocidal Phyllis idle pestilential megalomaniacal sadomasochistic capriciously malevolent bully but you don't want to get identified with the reproach of what really believing this Bible is all about you know these wicked left-wing liberal perverts want you to do legalize in the marijuana a homosexuality if the whole entire world over the Jesus that's why you don't have it the wages of sin is death we offer so many Gospels back if you're walking away and you see them throw it on the ground that's not because they're afraid of what's in it they know what's in it no matter where you are today to turn to God and place your faith in the Lord Jesus Christ God Almighty got me through and got me through for 10 years 15 years 20 years 25 years 30 years 35 years 40 years you left that book on earth I'll mess with you give me your power Lord you know what we do we need people to follow on their knees we need people to pray I just don't want their power I pray like this Holy Spirit power then we'll see so saying then we'll see God do something with this truth then we'll see the Liberals and the homosexuals getting a big then we'll see those apostate Christians getting that then we'll see all the world opening their eyes to the truth and they say we have not seen such a thing rather systems only one hope looking for that blessed hope that the floors appear that man boy
