00:00:01.560 --> 00:00:04.260
This program is made
possible by the giving
2
00:00:04.260 --> 00:00:08.280
of the God called partners
of Renner Ministries.
3
00:00:08.280 --> 00:00:11.550
Get ready for a teaching
that feeds your spirit
4
00:00:11.550 --> 00:00:15.120
and your mind, where the
word is the anchor in
5
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:17.100
uncertain times
6
00:00:17.100 --> 00:00:20.400
and doctrine doesn't bend to culture.
7
00:00:20.400 --> 00:00:21.810
We keep it simple,
8
00:00:21.810 --> 00:00:26.400
but dive deep revealing a
truth that strengthens us,
9
00:00:27.240 --> 00:00:29.160
a love that emboldens,
10
00:00:30.270 --> 00:00:32.460
and a mission that touches the world.
11
00:00:34.800 --> 00:00:36.330
Let's join Rick Renner.
12
00:00:38.490 --> 00:00:39.600
Welcome to today's program.
13
00:00:39.600 --> 00:00:41.010
My name is Rick Renner,
14
00:00:41.010 --> 00:00:44.880
and this is Wednesday in
our week of Thanksgiving.
15
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:47.820
And tomorrow is Thanksgiving Day.
16
00:00:47.820 --> 00:00:50.700
What are you gonna do tomorrow
to celebrate Thanksgiving?
17
00:00:50.700 --> 00:00:52.680
Are you gonna gather with friends?
18
00:00:52.680 --> 00:00:55.710
Are you gonna gather with family? What are you going to do?
19
00:00:55.710 --> 00:00:59.490
We as a family are gonna meet together
20
00:00:59.490 --> 00:01:03.450
with our families and our
grandkids that are here,
21
00:01:03.450 --> 00:01:05.700
and we're gonna gather around the table.
22
00:01:05.700 --> 00:01:09.270
And before we dive into
the turkey, we're gonna go
23
00:01:09.270 --> 00:01:11.790
around the room and we're each gonna say
24
00:01:11.790 --> 00:01:12.930
what we're thankful for.
25
00:01:12.930 --> 00:01:15.690
And Denise, it's always fun
to see what the grandkids say.
26
00:01:15.690 --> 00:01:18.060
Oh, well a very fun.
27
00:01:18.060 --> 00:01:20.820
But you know, the Bible tells us in Colossians 2:
28
00:01:20.820 --> 00:01:22.740
6 & 7,
29
00:01:22.740 --> 00:01:26.760
So then just as you received Christ Jesus
30
00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.810
as Lord, continue to live your lives in him
31
00:01:30.810 --> 00:01:34.440
rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith
32
00:01:34.440 --> 00:01:35.700
as you were taught.
33
00:01:35.700 --> 00:01:37.200
Alright, listen to this -
34
00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:41.820
and overflowing with thankfulness.
35
00:01:43.110 --> 00:01:45.750
Would somebody say that you are a person
36
00:01:45.750 --> 00:01:48.510
that overflows with thankfulness?
37
00:01:48.510 --> 00:01:52.050
Or would they say that you're
a person who overflows with
38
00:01:52.050 --> 00:01:53.580
something else?
39
00:01:53.580 --> 00:01:57.570
I want people to think of
me as a thankful person.
40
00:01:57.570 --> 00:02:02.250
And so years ago I made a decision that when somebody said
41
00:02:02.250 --> 00:02:04.440
to me - Hey Rick, how are you?
42
00:02:04.440 --> 00:02:07.650
I was gonna answer by saying, thankful.
43
00:02:07.650 --> 00:02:09.240
And that's what I always say.
44
00:02:09.240 --> 00:02:12.150
If you ever meet me and
you see, how are you?
45
00:02:12.150 --> 00:02:13.980
You're gonna hear me say, thankful.
46
00:02:13.980 --> 00:02:15.360
I don't care who asked me.
47
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:16.440
Whether it's somebody I know
48
00:02:16.440 --> 00:02:19.260
or a complete stranger,
I'm going to answer
49
00:02:19.260 --> 00:02:21.420
by saying, thankful.
50
00:02:21.420 --> 00:02:24.090
And do you know what? It
kind of disarms people
51
00:02:24.090 --> 00:02:26.520
because they kind of
look at you like, well,
52
00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:28.170
what are you thankful for?
53
00:02:28.170 --> 00:02:30.600
And I've got so much to be thankful for.
54
00:02:30.600 --> 00:02:34.860
I am thankful for my family.
I'm thankful for my salvation.
55
00:02:34.860 --> 00:02:37.530
I'm thankful for the
baptism and the Holy Spirit.
56
00:02:37.530 --> 00:02:40.050
I'm thankful for the
call of God on my life.
57
00:02:40.050 --> 00:02:43.680
I am thankful that God gave
us partners that help us do
58
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:45.420
what we are doing.
59
00:02:45.420 --> 00:02:49.170
The list of what I'm
thankful for is so, so long.
60
00:02:49.170 --> 00:02:53.640
I'm thankful for forgiveness.
I am thankful for mercy.
61
00:02:53.640 --> 00:02:56.040
I'm thankful, thankful, thankful.
62
00:02:57.060 --> 00:02:59.980
And I've just made a
decision that I'm going
63
00:02:59.980 --> 00:03:01.390
to be a thankful person.
64
00:03:01.390 --> 00:03:05.620
And people who know me, they
know that I'm not a grumbler
65
00:03:05.620 --> 00:03:07.180
and I'm not a complainer.
66
00:03:07.180 --> 00:03:09.610
I am not going that direction.
67
00:03:09.610 --> 00:03:12.700
I have too much to be thankful for.
68
00:03:12.700 --> 00:03:15.070
There's a person that
I, I really respect
69
00:03:15.070 --> 00:03:16.090
and I like to listen to.
70
00:03:16.090 --> 00:03:18.610
And when he's asked, how are you?
71
00:03:18.610 --> 00:03:22.330
He says, better than I
deserve. And he's a Christian.
72
00:03:22.330 --> 00:03:25.000
And as a Christian, you
understand we deserve a lot
73
00:03:25.000 --> 00:03:27.610
of bad things as sinners.
74
00:03:27.610 --> 00:03:28.690
But Jesus came
75
00:03:28.690 --> 00:03:32.230
and he gave us something so
beautiful, so wonderful that
76
00:03:32.230 --> 00:03:35.950
as Christians, you know, we're
doing better than we deserve.
77
00:03:35.950 --> 00:03:38.260
And I'm so grateful for my salvation.
78
00:03:38.260 --> 00:03:40.540
There is so much to be
grateful for in this earth.
79
00:03:40.540 --> 00:03:42.730
It doesn't mean that you
don't have trouble in life.
80
00:03:42.730 --> 00:03:45.010
Of course you do. Everybody
deals with trouble.
81
00:03:45.010 --> 00:03:48.640
Jesus said, in this world
you will have tribulation,
82
00:03:48.640 --> 00:03:50.260
but be of good cheer,
83
00:03:50.260 --> 00:03:51.700
I have overcome the world. And you know what
84
00:03:51.700 --> 00:03:55.600
Greek says - cheer yourself up. It is a decision.
85
00:03:55.600 --> 00:03:57.670
You gotta speak to yourself.
86
00:03:57.670 --> 00:04:00.430
And rather than let your
mouth take you down,
87
00:04:00.430 --> 00:04:02.380
let your mouth take you up.
88
00:04:03.370 --> 00:04:07.450
And something else important. In Psalm 5:3,
89
00:04:07.450 --> 00:04:12.010
David said this - In the morning, Lord,
90
00:04:12.850 --> 00:04:16.870
I will lift up my voice. In the morning,
91
00:04:16.870 --> 00:04:20.200
I will look up. Well, you know what, Denise?
92
00:04:20.200 --> 00:04:23.560
If you read the Psalms, it's very evident
93
00:04:23.560 --> 00:04:26.680
that David was a very emotional man.
94
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:29.050
I mean, he says, I'm stuck in the miry clay.
95
00:04:29.050 --> 00:04:31.390
My feet are stuck. I'm swallowed up.
96
00:04:31.390 --> 00:04:34.990
I mean, David was really
affected by his emotions.
97
00:04:34.990 --> 00:04:37.990
And he had a lot of problems.
He had problems with his kids.
98
00:04:37.990 --> 00:04:39.310
He had problems with his wives.
99
00:04:39.310 --> 00:04:41.440
He had problems with his
neighbors, with his enemies.
100
00:04:41.440 --> 00:04:44.080
David was surrounded by enemies.
101
00:04:44.080 --> 00:04:47.620
And David knew that if he
didn't wake up in the morning
102
00:04:47.620 --> 00:04:49.750
and first of all look up,
103
00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:53.080
he was probably gonna
look down pretty quick.
104
00:04:53.080 --> 00:04:56.410
And I learned years ago at a very rough period in
105
00:04:56.410 --> 00:05:00.430
my life, that before I lift
my head from the pillow,
106
00:05:01.450 --> 00:05:04.990
before I put my feet out of
the bed, I'm gonna look up.
107
00:05:04.990 --> 00:05:08.830
And Denise will tell you
that laying in my bed
108
00:05:08.830 --> 00:05:11.650
every morning, and Denise
and I get up quite early, but
109
00:05:11.650 --> 00:05:13.840
before I even lift my head off the pillow,
110
00:05:13.840 --> 00:05:15.220
I am thanking God.
111
00:05:15.220 --> 00:05:19.330
We are committed in scripture
in the evening, to thank God
112
00:05:19.330 --> 00:05:20.440
for his faithfulness
113
00:05:20.440 --> 00:05:23.440
and in the morning to thank
him for his loving kindness.
114
00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:25.360
So every morning I say, Lord, I thank you
115
00:05:25.360 --> 00:05:27.220
for your faithfulness yesterday.
116
00:05:27.220 --> 00:05:29.050
I thank you for your loving kindness
117
00:05:29.050 --> 00:05:30.640
that meets me this morning.
118
00:05:30.640 --> 00:05:33.490
And I begin to thank God for
different things in my life,
119
00:05:33.490 --> 00:05:36.130
starting by thanking him
for Denise, thanking him
120
00:05:36.130 --> 00:05:38.890
for our kids, thanking
him for our grandkids.
121
00:05:38.890 --> 00:05:41.470
I'm gonna tell you that when
you begin your day looking up
122
00:05:41.470 --> 00:05:43.150
with a thankful attitude,
123
00:05:43.150 --> 00:05:46.330
it really sets the course for your day.
124
00:05:46.330 --> 00:05:48.310
You know what? You can start by looking at your phone
125
00:05:49.330 --> 00:05:52.780
and you're gonna get a text message that's gonna upset you.
126
00:05:52.780 --> 00:05:56.200
Or you might start your day
by looking at your spouse.
127
00:05:56.200 --> 00:05:57.620
And your spouse might give you a look
128
00:05:57.620 --> 00:05:58.670
that you don't understand.
129
00:05:58.670 --> 00:06:01.490
And that kind of sets your
day off in the wrong way.
130
00:06:01.490 --> 00:06:05.060
So I just made a decision
before I look at my phone,
131
00:06:05.060 --> 00:06:06.260
before I talk to Denise,
132
00:06:06.260 --> 00:06:08.240
before I put my feet out of the bed
133
00:06:09.680 --> 00:06:11.840
with my head on the
pillow, I'm gonna look up
134
00:06:13.010 --> 00:06:15.530
and I'm gonna start thanking God
135
00:06:15.530 --> 00:06:18.890
before I ever lift my
head from the pillow.
136
00:06:18.890 --> 00:06:22.580
And it just charges my
day and affects my day.
137
00:06:22.580 --> 00:06:24.470
Well, this is Thanksgiving week.
138
00:06:25.310 --> 00:06:28.670
And so we're encouraging
you this week every day
139
00:06:29.660 --> 00:06:31.850
to charge your atmosphere
with thanksgiving.
140
00:06:31.850 --> 00:06:34.730
And tomorrow is the day
everybody's gonna gather
141
00:06:34.730 --> 00:06:36.650
around the table to dive into the food.
142
00:06:37.490 --> 00:06:39.080
You have something to be thankful for.
143
00:06:39.080 --> 00:06:41.570
And before you eat, go around the room
144
00:06:41.570 --> 00:06:43.220
and let everybody just express.
145
00:06:43.220 --> 00:06:44.510
Maybe they just have one thing
146
00:06:44.510 --> 00:06:46.280
that they can say they're thankful for.
147
00:06:46.280 --> 00:06:50.300
If all they have is one
thing, let them say it.
148
00:06:50.300 --> 00:06:51.800
That can change their life
149
00:06:51.800 --> 00:06:55.725
by expressing one thing they're thankful for. Amen Denise?
150
00:06:55.725 --> 00:07:00.410
Amen. Amen. It's so important how you start your day.
151
00:07:00.410 --> 00:07:03.020
Like Rick was saying that, that kind
152
00:07:03.020 --> 00:07:06.955
of directs the course of your
day, the way that you start
153
00:07:06.955 --> 00:07:10.820
and, and you know, every day's a gift,
154
00:07:10.820 --> 00:07:14.300
every single day, every 24 hours
155
00:07:14.300 --> 00:07:19.250
that you are given, every
minute of it is a gift.
156
00:07:19.250 --> 00:07:24.230
And Jesus said in Matthew 6:34,
157
00:07:24.230 --> 00:07:27.170
he said, don't worry about tomorrow.
158
00:07:27.170 --> 00:07:29.930
Well, we know that Jesus
could have worried about a lot
159
00:07:29.930 --> 00:07:32.330
of things because he knew his future.
160
00:07:32.330 --> 00:07:37.330
He knew how he was gonna die.
He knew everything about it.
161
00:07:37.340 --> 00:07:40.730
But he chose to live one day at a time
162
00:07:40.730 --> 00:07:45.320
and to not worry about tomorrow.
163
00:07:45.320 --> 00:07:48.860
And if we can just be thankful for today, Rick -
164
00:07:48.860 --> 00:07:52.130
That's right - and and not worry about tomorrow.
165
00:07:52.130 --> 00:07:54.710
I'm not saying don't be responsible for tomorrow
166
00:07:54.710 --> 00:07:56.360
or what you've got to do
167
00:07:56.360 --> 00:08:00.200
or what's due a week from
now, a month from now,
168
00:08:00.200 --> 00:08:02.750
but if you embrace today
169
00:08:02.750 --> 00:08:04.910
and you're thankful for these 24 hours,
170
00:08:04.910 --> 00:08:06.530
You'll get through it with joy.
171
00:08:06.530 --> 00:08:09.410
Well, and you'll do more for your tomorrow.
172
00:08:09.410 --> 00:08:14.030
You will - because you are engaged in the 24 hours
173
00:08:14.030 --> 00:08:15.710
that you've been given.
174
00:08:15.710 --> 00:08:20.060
And so I think it's really
important to be thankful.
175
00:08:20.060 --> 00:08:23.060
I mean, when you start out your day
176
00:08:23.060 --> 00:08:26.600
and thanking God that you have that day
177
00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.970
and every minute in it,
178
00:08:28.970 --> 00:08:33.350
and that he's given you the
power on the inside for you
179
00:08:33.350 --> 00:08:38.240
to live that day with
power, with thanksgiving.
180
00:08:38.240 --> 00:08:42.890
And you know, we Paul, we're
not like the world we, we,
181
00:08:42.890 --> 00:08:45.740
I mean we are natural,
but we're supernatural.
182
00:08:45.740 --> 00:08:48.470
Amen. We are. And we
expect the supernatural.
183
00:08:48.470 --> 00:08:50.090
Exactly.
184
00:08:50.090 --> 00:08:54.800
And if you look at your
day like that, oh my gosh,
185
00:08:54.800 --> 00:08:57.390
you could look at your day like a gift.
186
00:08:57.390 --> 00:08:58.710
And I've done this before
187
00:08:58.710 --> 00:09:02.340
and I've said, Lord, what could you do
188
00:09:03.420 --> 00:09:06.420
in this day?
189
00:09:06.420 --> 00:09:10.320
And truly, I have watched
him do amazing things
190
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:12.990
that I never ever
thought that he would do.
191
00:09:12.990 --> 00:09:14.370
Well, I want to tell a little story
192
00:09:14.370 --> 00:09:17.880
that I've never told on TV - sometimes, you know,
193
00:09:17.880 --> 00:09:19.890
I film TV every day.
194
00:09:19.890 --> 00:09:22.020
Every day I sit in front of the camera
195
00:09:22.020 --> 00:09:25.140
and I say - Welcome to today's program.
196
00:09:25.140 --> 00:09:28.110
And you know, sometimes
before I sit in that chair
197
00:09:28.110 --> 00:09:31.320
and they turn on the
camera, I get bad news.
198
00:09:31.320 --> 00:09:34.080
I'm told that we lack
resources in the ministry
199
00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:37.260
or we've got a challenge or
something else has happened.
200
00:09:37.260 --> 00:09:41.340
Just yesterday before I
begin to film my TV program,
201
00:09:42.660 --> 00:09:46.350
heard all kinds of things about somebody trying to stop this
202
00:09:46.350 --> 00:09:47.970
and an enemy trying to do that.
203
00:09:47.970 --> 00:09:50.340
They're enemies to the gospel.
204
00:09:50.340 --> 00:09:52.170
Things that we have to overcome.
205
00:09:53.730 --> 00:09:56.670
And naturally speaking, there
are moments when I think,
206
00:09:58.230 --> 00:09:59.370
I just don't know if I can look in
207
00:09:59.370 --> 00:10:01.590
that camera today and do this.
208
00:10:01.590 --> 00:10:06.590
It's a decision. It is a decision. I am joyful.
209
00:10:06.690 --> 00:10:08.640
God has given me a new day.
210
00:10:08.640 --> 00:10:10.500
I have so much to be thankful for,
211
00:10:10.500 --> 00:10:11.790
and I'm gonna sit in that camera.
212
00:10:11.790 --> 00:10:15.090
It is a privilege that
anybody would turn on the TV
213
00:10:15.090 --> 00:10:16.620
and even allow me to speak to them.
214
00:10:16.620 --> 00:10:19.080
So welcome to today's program.
215
00:10:19.080 --> 00:10:22.050
Amen.
It is a statement of faith.
216
00:10:22.050 --> 00:10:25.650
Amen. - And that's the way
you have to embrace life.
217
00:10:25.650 --> 00:10:29.670
You have to choose to grab
it and to be thankful.
218
00:10:29.670 --> 00:10:31.050
Paul, I see you got your Bible open.
219
00:10:31.050 --> 00:10:33.810
I do. I've got my Bible open.
220
00:10:33.810 --> 00:10:38.040
Psalms 95:1, Oh, come let us sing unto the Lord.
221
00:10:38.040 --> 00:10:42.870
Let us make a joyful noise
to the rock of our salvation.
222
00:10:42.870 --> 00:10:44.310
We make a joyful noise.
223
00:10:44.310 --> 00:10:47.070
And it's wonderful that we
get to make that joyful noise
224
00:10:47.070 --> 00:10:49.350
and praise the Lord for his salvation,
225
00:10:49.350 --> 00:10:50.850
for his eternal salvation
226
00:10:50.850 --> 00:10:54.660
and for his salvation in our
life that we see every day.
227
00:10:54.660 --> 00:10:58.230
I wanna say thank you, Dad. Thank you.
228
00:10:59.310 --> 00:11:03.630
Often friends, I am woken
229
00:11:03.630 --> 00:11:06.870
by the very first text message
that I get every morning.
230
00:11:07.740 --> 00:11:12.450
And usually it's something
like, Jesus' Lord - Amen.
231
00:11:12.450 --> 00:11:15.990
And it's from you. Or it's - Call me as soon
232
00:11:15.990 --> 00:11:17.820
as you get this text message.
233
00:11:17.820 --> 00:11:21.270
Or it's just simply, good
morning. Thank you so much
234
00:11:21.270 --> 00:11:23.400
For being,
I'm sorry, the first person.
235
00:11:23.400 --> 00:11:24.660
I'm sorry I wake you up.
236
00:11:24.660 --> 00:11:27.660
It's okay. No, actually
I kind of expect,
237
00:11:27.660 --> 00:11:29.430
and when I see my phone
238
00:11:29.430 --> 00:11:32.790
and I look at all my messages,
I actually look for yours.
239
00:11:32.790 --> 00:11:36.900
That's, that's there. And
it's like, oh, he texted.
240
00:11:36.900 --> 00:11:39.420
It's gonna be a good day. So thank you.
241
00:11:39.420 --> 00:11:40.650
You're very welcome.
242
00:11:40.650 --> 00:11:44.160
And and I've kind of made it a
243
00:11:44.160 --> 00:11:47.160
personal priority now to make sure
244
00:11:47.160 --> 00:11:49.830
that my children get
text messages from me.
245
00:11:49.830 --> 00:11:51.780
Well that's good, Paul.
I'm learning from you.
246
00:11:51.780 --> 00:11:52.860
Thank you. It's good. Well, you're
247
00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:53.860
Very welcome.
248
00:11:53.860 --> 00:11:58.570
How about you, Joel?
I'm thinking about how
249
00:11:58.570 --> 00:12:01.420
sometimes in life we can think that, gosh,
250
00:12:01.420 --> 00:12:02.500
I'm so tired of this.
251
00:12:03.430 --> 00:12:06.310
Or when will this ever be over?
252
00:12:06.310 --> 00:12:09.070
But you know, someone, for example,
253
00:12:09.070 --> 00:12:10.600
you can think about your job that way
254
00:12:10.600 --> 00:12:12.310
sometimes. There are other people who'd be
255
00:12:12.310 --> 00:12:13.570
grateful to have your job.
256
00:12:13.570 --> 00:12:16.180
That's true.
And if you think through it,
257
00:12:16.180 --> 00:12:18.220
suddenly you get really
grateful for what you do.
258
00:12:19.120 --> 00:12:22.030
Other things can be, oh, when
will these kids ever get up
259
00:12:22.030 --> 00:12:25.000
and grow, grow up and leave
the house They're going to.
260
00:12:26.230 --> 00:12:28.930
But you should be grateful for
the time you have with them.
261
00:12:28.930 --> 00:12:32.320
Because one day your time is
not gonna be with him as much
262
00:12:32.320 --> 00:12:33.910
as it is right now.
263
00:12:33.910 --> 00:12:35.920
And I think that when
we turn things around,
264
00:12:35.920 --> 00:12:38.770
if you really think about
what you're saying, you can,
265
00:12:38.770 --> 00:12:41.260
you can find a grateful attitude.
266
00:12:41.260 --> 00:12:45.070
You really can. But there's one wonderful lady
267
00:12:45.070 --> 00:12:48.640
who looks at me sometimes
and she says, Joel,
268
00:12:48.640 --> 00:12:51.490
but you chin up, stand up straight.
269
00:12:51.490 --> 00:12:54.910
You have a beautiful smile. And I appreciate that
270
00:12:54.910 --> 00:12:57.490
'cause sometimes when people look at you from the side,
271
00:12:59.350 --> 00:13:01.330
you know you, you can look a little better.
272
00:13:01.330 --> 00:13:03.280
And when someone comes, look, comes
273
00:13:03.280 --> 00:13:05.830
and talks to you like that, it's helpful.
274
00:13:05.830 --> 00:13:08.200
Another person says, where's the twinkle?
275
00:13:08.200 --> 00:13:09.670
Where's the twinkle in your eye?
276
00:13:09.670 --> 00:13:11.980
Come on, get a little smile on your face.
277
00:13:11.980 --> 00:13:14.080
That's, that's good. That's helpful.
278
00:13:14.080 --> 00:13:16.810
And it's good when we have
people around our lives
279
00:13:16.810 --> 00:13:19.930
who can do that and help us
sit up a little straighter.
280
00:13:19.930 --> 00:13:21.790
Be grateful. 'cause there's a lot we
281
00:13:21.790 --> 00:13:23.740
have to be grateful for.
282
00:13:23.740 --> 00:13:25.690
Well, you know, one
thing I'm grateful for is
283
00:13:25.690 --> 00:13:28.630
that Paul's older kids
are finding their way.
284
00:13:28.630 --> 00:13:31.180
Yes. I'm very proud of William
285
00:13:31.180 --> 00:13:33.850
because William is
paying a very high price
286
00:13:33.850 --> 00:13:36.730
to really become a man
and to become a leader.
287
00:13:36.730 --> 00:13:39.730
I'm proud of your oldest daughter, your kids. Thank you.
288
00:13:39.730 --> 00:13:42.250
I'm proud of Philip's girls,
289
00:13:42.250 --> 00:13:44.440
his oldest girls learning to drive.
290
00:13:44.440 --> 00:13:46.570
I mean, that's such a big event.
291
00:13:46.570 --> 00:13:50.560
And on Sunday we went to
lunch with Joel and his wife
292
00:13:50.560 --> 00:13:53.680
and their kids, Daniel and Mark.
293
00:13:53.680 --> 00:13:56.500
And as we were having
lunch, I was very thankful
294
00:13:56.500 --> 00:13:58.630
for something I heard your boys say.
295
00:13:58.630 --> 00:14:01.600
We were talking about your boys' friends.
296
00:14:01.600 --> 00:14:05.740
And in Moscow, there's about 2 million Muslims - at least.
297
00:14:05.740 --> 00:14:09.190
There's a lot of Muslims in Moscow, at least.
298
00:14:09.190 --> 00:14:12.940
If you get in a taxi, nearly
every taxi driver is a Muslim.
299
00:14:12.940 --> 00:14:17.200
So some of their friends,
the boys' friends are Muslims
300
00:14:17.200 --> 00:14:18.760
that live in the neighborhood.
301
00:14:18.760 --> 00:14:21.580
And so I was talking to
Joel's boys, I said, well,
302
00:14:21.580 --> 00:14:25.270
well tell me the difference between your faith and Muslims.
303
00:14:25.270 --> 00:14:27.640
And they begin to express what they have learned,
304
00:14:27.640 --> 00:14:29.470
what they've observed.
305
00:14:29.470 --> 00:14:33.850
And I was quite amazed that Daniel,
306
00:14:33.850 --> 00:14:38.050
who's 13 is able to differentiate
307
00:14:38.050 --> 00:14:40.840
between our faith and that
faith and see the differences
308
00:14:40.840 --> 00:14:44.440
and why the Christian
faith is so attractive
309
00:14:44.440 --> 00:14:48.520
and how his Muslim friends
are impressed by his faith.
310
00:14:48.520 --> 00:14:51.320
I mean, I was really thankful
for that. Oh, really?
311
00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.750
Thankful Daniel Mark, my two sons. They're
312
00:14:53.750 --> 00:14:54.750
wonderful.
313
00:14:54.750 --> 00:14:55.610
They're just great guys.
314
00:14:55.610 --> 00:14:56.720
And I was also thankful
315
00:14:56.720 --> 00:14:59.630
because in Moscow, Darwinism is taught
316
00:14:59.630 --> 00:15:02.990
and his boys have made
their own conclusions.
317
00:15:02.990 --> 00:15:04.760
The Darwinism is wrong.
318
00:15:04.760 --> 00:15:07.550
It's just so good to see your
kids growing up, learning how
319
00:15:07.550 --> 00:15:10.640
to think, learning how to think.
320
00:15:10.640 --> 00:15:12.590
You can't protect your
kids from everything.
321
00:15:12.590 --> 00:15:14.330
I know we do our best,
322
00:15:14.330 --> 00:15:15.620
but they go to public schools
323
00:15:15.620 --> 00:15:17.930
where they're gonna hear
all kinds of nonsense.
324
00:15:17.930 --> 00:15:19.430
And so I'm thankful that you
325
00:15:19.430 --> 00:15:23.630
and Olya as parents are giving your kids a good foundation.
326
00:15:23.630 --> 00:15:25.670
Paul, I'm thankful to you.
327
00:15:25.670 --> 00:15:26.780
I'm thankful to Philip
328
00:15:26.780 --> 00:15:29.150
and Ella for what they do with their girls.
329
00:15:29.150 --> 00:15:32.300
I just really am thankful
for that. Thank you.
330
00:15:32.300 --> 00:15:34.970
You know, more is caught than taught.
331
00:15:34.970 --> 00:15:37.820
And so I think it's an
important example you set
332
00:15:37.820 --> 00:15:40.280
because that's what
people are gonna follow.
333
00:15:40.280 --> 00:15:42.470
And oh, since Daniel
334
00:15:42.470 --> 00:15:45.470
and Mark were born, I've been
reading in the Bible every
335
00:15:45.470 --> 00:15:47.180
night before they go to bed.
336
00:15:47.180 --> 00:15:48.860
And so I've read them
the Bible, I don't know
337
00:15:48.860 --> 00:15:50.630
how many times, like the whole Bible,
338
00:15:50.630 --> 00:15:53.270
we just started in Genesis
and we go all the way
339
00:15:53.270 --> 00:15:54.950
in their little children's bible.
340
00:15:54.950 --> 00:15:57.410
And their children's bible has
upgraded a couple of times.
341
00:15:57.410 --> 00:16:00.500
So the stories get a little
more, you know, in depth.
342
00:16:00.500 --> 00:16:03.260
And I've read them those
stories so many times.
343
00:16:03.260 --> 00:16:05.630
But Daniel's now 13 as as dad said,
344
00:16:07.370 --> 00:16:11.900
and he said, Dad, I'm gonna
start reading you the Bible.
345
00:16:11.900 --> 00:16:13.190
I said, all right, let's do it.
346
00:16:13.190 --> 00:16:16.400
That sounds like a deal,
because I'm always a little
347
00:16:16.400 --> 00:16:18.530
tired when they're going to bed.
348
00:16:18.530 --> 00:16:20.780
And so they started reading me the Bible,
349
00:16:20.780 --> 00:16:22.190
and then Mark said, well then I'm gonna
350
00:16:22.190 --> 00:16:23.360
read you the Bible too.
351
00:16:23.360 --> 00:16:25.550
And so every night I
get two Bible stories.
352
00:16:25.550 --> 00:16:28.430
And I think that is just
beautiful. That is beautiful.
353
00:16:28.430 --> 00:16:30.290
I know. I'm so grateful for my sons.
354
00:16:30.290 --> 00:16:32.240
They're, they're wonderful. Paul.
355
00:16:32.240 --> 00:16:35.540
All right, I have a story.
I have a story. I'm grateful.
356
00:16:36.770 --> 00:16:39.110
So I have a new hobby.
357
00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:44.390
I'm restoring an old car from 1985.
358
00:16:44.390 --> 00:16:45.980
Not so old, but old enough.
359
00:16:45.980 --> 00:16:47.660
It's the same age as you.
360
00:16:47.660 --> 00:16:51.590
Yes. It's, it's just a
just a year younger than me.
361
00:16:51.590 --> 00:16:56.210
And, and my fuel gauge
was not properly working.
362
00:16:57.540 --> 00:16:59.060
And so I decided to fix it.
363
00:17:00.140 --> 00:17:02.960
And so I rebuilt my dashboard
364
00:17:04.160 --> 00:17:09.160
and anyway, my fuel gauge is
working better than it was,
365
00:17:09.470 --> 00:17:13.490
but I didn't know if the lower end was
366
00:17:13.490 --> 00:17:15.260
showing properly.
367
00:17:15.260 --> 00:17:18.050
I know that the top end, when
it's full, it's showing full.
368
00:17:18.050 --> 00:17:20.930
But I didn't know whether
when the tank was empty,
369
00:17:20.930 --> 00:17:22.160
whether it was showing empty.
370
00:17:23.360 --> 00:17:24.650
That's a big deal. Paul.
371
00:17:24.650 --> 00:17:27.320
You know what I discovered
that it's more important
372
00:17:27.320 --> 00:17:30.260
to know that empty is
empty than full is full.
373
00:17:30.260 --> 00:17:31.310
That there's a difference
374
00:17:31.310 --> 00:17:33.410
and empty is more important than full.
375
00:17:33.410 --> 00:17:36.500
I know this. And so I was driving from St.
376
00:17:36.500 --> 00:17:39.890
Petersburg to Moscow recently,
and I decided to test
377
00:17:39.890 --> 00:17:42.140
and see, oh, well that's
a bad time to test.
378
00:17:42.140 --> 00:17:44.570
Oh, well I found out
379
00:17:45.410 --> 00:17:47.870
that my fuel gauge
380
00:17:49.140 --> 00:17:53.610
does not properly tell me
when empty is empty. And so
381
00:17:53.610 --> 00:17:54.630
You ran outta gas.
382
00:17:54.630 --> 00:17:57.750
I ran outta gas. Paul,
you didn't tell us that.
383
00:17:57.750 --> 00:18:02.040
I saved it for the
program. I ran outta gas.
384
00:18:02.040 --> 00:18:05.970
And, and so that was kind
of fun. I like adventures.
385
00:18:05.970 --> 00:18:08.100
And you were with Paulina,
your wonderful wife.
386
00:18:08.100 --> 00:18:10.740
Yeah, yeah. Well, I'm sure
she enjoyed your adventure.
387
00:18:11.790 --> 00:18:13.140
I'm so grateful for my wife.
388
00:18:13.140 --> 00:18:16.980
She, she goes on adventures with me. And so I ran outta gas.
389
00:18:18.540 --> 00:18:20.220
And, and so now I know what
390
00:18:20.220 --> 00:18:22.170
that feels like running outta gas.
391
00:18:22.170 --> 00:18:23.640
It's not the first time it's happened,
392
00:18:23.640 --> 00:18:27.270
but, you know, running outta
gas, you know, on the highway.
393
00:18:27.270 --> 00:18:28.890
And so what do you do?
394
00:18:30.180 --> 00:18:32.730
And all of a sudden I start remembering a conversation I had
395
00:18:32.730 --> 00:18:35.850
with a friend about the roadside service.
396
00:18:35.850 --> 00:18:36.930
And we talked,
397
00:18:36.930 --> 00:18:39.720
we actually had a conversation
over 10 years ago,
398
00:18:39.720 --> 00:18:41.460
and he told me the number
399
00:18:41.460 --> 00:18:43.860
of the roadside service,
and I remembered it.
400
00:18:43.860 --> 00:18:45.195
You remembered the number.
401
00:18:45.195 --> 00:18:48.000
I was sitting in the car and I remembered the number
402
00:18:48.000 --> 00:18:51.000
before I was even able to
Google it and search online.
403
00:18:51.000 --> 00:18:55.800
It's like, I know the number:
star 2323, I know the number.
404
00:18:55.800 --> 00:18:57.840
And so I called the number
a few minutes later,
405
00:18:57.840 --> 00:19:01.020
this guy showed up with a canister of gas.
406
00:19:01.020 --> 00:19:03.810
And, you know, I filled
up a little bit of gas
407
00:19:03.810 --> 00:19:06.150
and was able to get to the next
408
00:19:06.150 --> 00:19:09.210
gas station. You, of course
409
00:19:09.210 --> 00:19:11.190
You didn't wanna see
what empty was empty.
410
00:19:11.190 --> 00:19:13.560
Again, you don't wanna
try that one more time.
411
00:19:13.560 --> 00:19:16.530
You know, I, I filled up my
gas. I it's okay. I know now.
412
00:19:16.530 --> 00:19:17.940
So I'm gonna fix my gauge
413
00:19:17.940 --> 00:19:20.610
and, you know, so that empty actually is,
414
00:19:20.610 --> 00:19:24.120
which means I'll be testing
it again, hopefully with gas,
415
00:19:24.120 --> 00:19:26.820
you know, a little bit of
extra gas with me in the car.
416
00:19:26.820 --> 00:19:29.310
But the point of the story is I'm grateful
417
00:19:29.310 --> 00:19:31.290
that everything turned out okay
418
00:19:31.290 --> 00:19:35.495
and that - you know, that the Lord reminded me
419
00:19:35.495 --> 00:19:38.520
of the phone number, that
there was this, you know,
420
00:19:38.520 --> 00:19:41.280
roadside service that was available very quick.
421
00:19:42.390 --> 00:19:44.160
Now this, I could be telling a story about
422
00:19:44.160 --> 00:19:46.800
how I ran outta gas
and how it was so awful
423
00:19:46.800 --> 00:19:48.030
and how it was stranded
424
00:19:48.030 --> 00:19:50.310
and how the weather was
horrible and all that.
425
00:19:50.310 --> 00:19:51.570
But it was actually great weather.
426
00:19:51.570 --> 00:19:55.695
And I got help real quick
and these little things and,
427
00:19:55.695 --> 00:19:58.710
and just as we were talking about partnership the other day,
428
00:19:59.610 --> 00:20:01.740
I remembered this story.
429
00:20:01.740 --> 00:20:05.850
It, I've got a car, I've got somewhere to go.
430
00:20:05.850 --> 00:20:08.070
I've got a vision, but,
431
00:20:10.410 --> 00:20:11.460
and I'm on my way.
432
00:20:13.020 --> 00:20:14.220
But I ran outta gas.
433
00:20:14.220 --> 00:20:18.090
I had to stop until someone came
434
00:20:18.090 --> 00:20:20.280
and brought me gas.
435
00:20:21.240 --> 00:20:23.520
And, and it's like that sometimes when you're in the
436
00:20:23.520 --> 00:20:28.500
ministry. You've got the vehicle, you've got the team
437
00:20:28.500 --> 00:20:30.750
and you're already on your way.
438
00:20:30.750 --> 00:20:35.535
But then sometimes it's
like we're slowing down
439
00:20:35.535 --> 00:20:39.090
and, and sometimes it feels
like you're slowing down
440
00:20:39.090 --> 00:20:43.290
to a halt and then all of
a sudden something shows up
441
00:20:44.400 --> 00:20:45.900
and you can, and you can keep going
442
00:20:46.810 --> 00:20:50.260
because help came just on time.
443
00:20:51.100 --> 00:20:53.800
And so many of you have been that help.
444
00:20:55.210 --> 00:20:58.450
And so my story about running out of gas, it's,
445
00:20:58.450 --> 00:21:00.760
it's actually a story about God's provision.
446
00:21:01.630 --> 00:21:06.130
And so thank you for being those people
447
00:21:06.130 --> 00:21:09.400
that have come just in time so
448
00:21:09.400 --> 00:21:11.620
that we can keep moving. Thank you
449
00:21:11.620 --> 00:21:12.620
Paul,
450
00:21:12.620 --> 00:21:14.950
that is a wonderful thing to
say. Thank you so much. Yeah.
451
00:21:14.950 --> 00:21:17.200
And we are thankful to each one of you.
452
00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:20.680
And I have to say that I am thankful that I've never wanted
453
00:21:20.680 --> 00:21:22.000
to test my gauge.
454
00:21:23.920 --> 00:21:25.990
Paul, I'm thankful that
you're the one in the family
455
00:21:25.990 --> 00:21:27.130
that has that tendency.
456
00:21:27.130 --> 00:21:28.990
It's not me. I,
457
00:21:28.990 --> 00:21:31.600
I like taking things apart.
Oh, we know all about
458
00:21:31.600 --> 00:21:32.433
It. We know that.
459
00:21:32.433 --> 00:21:34.030
We know all about it. Yeah.
460
00:21:34.030 --> 00:21:35.320
Anyway, we're so thankful
461
00:21:35.320 --> 00:21:37.630
and thank you for
putting fuel in the tank.
462
00:21:37.630 --> 00:21:40.720
Hey partner, you're amazing.
463
00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:44.440
You are the one that's
enabling us to do what we do.
464
00:21:44.440 --> 00:21:46.600
It's the grace of God. We know that.
465
00:21:46.600 --> 00:21:49.870
But God uses people and
we're grateful to you.
466
00:21:49.870 --> 00:21:53.560
We are so grateful to you and
we're thankful to the Lord.
467
00:21:53.560 --> 00:21:55.900
Alright, now, tomorrow's thanksgiving.
468
00:21:55.900 --> 00:21:57.940
Be thinking about what you're
gonna share when you sit
469
00:21:57.940 --> 00:21:59.440
around the table with your family
470
00:21:59.440 --> 00:22:03.100
or your friends, even if you're by yourself.
471
00:22:03.100 --> 00:22:06.430
Just take a moment. If you have to get out a piece of paper,
472
00:22:06.430 --> 00:22:08.800
begin to write down what
you're thankful for.
473
00:22:08.800 --> 00:22:10.660
Be intentional about it.
474
00:22:10.660 --> 00:22:14.320
Tomorrow is called Thanksgiving,
475
00:22:14.320 --> 00:22:16.690
so make sure it's a day of Thanksgiving.
476
00:22:16.690 --> 00:22:19.510
We'll be back in just a moment
and we're gonna pray for you.
477
00:22:27.520 --> 00:22:30.010
Who has had the greatest
influence on your life?
478
00:22:30.010 --> 00:22:31.810
Well, I would have to say my parents.
479
00:22:31.810 --> 00:22:33.640
My daddy was a German
480
00:22:33.640 --> 00:22:35.650
and he gave me a really good work ethic.
481
00:22:35.650 --> 00:22:39.760
But it was my mother who really impacted me spiritually.
482
00:22:39.760 --> 00:22:42.190
Mother would lay by my side
every night when I would go
483
00:22:42.190 --> 00:22:45.100
to bed, she would talk
to me about eternity.
484
00:22:45.100 --> 00:22:47.470
She prepared my heart for salvation.
485
00:22:47.470 --> 00:22:49.240
And I had a picture book Bible
486
00:22:49.240 --> 00:22:51.430
and mother would read that Bible to me.
487
00:22:51.430 --> 00:22:52.720
And she bought me a set
488
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:55.930
of records which were from
the picture book Bible.
489
00:22:55.930 --> 00:22:57.610
So I didn't just have to read it.
490
00:22:57.610 --> 00:23:00.670
I could lay on my stomach
in front of the Hi-Fi
491
00:23:00.670 --> 00:23:02.410
and I could listen to those records.
492
00:23:02.410 --> 00:23:04.480
And they were so animated
493
00:23:04.480 --> 00:23:07.450
and it really put the love
of the scripture in my life.
494
00:23:07.450 --> 00:23:09.160
So I have to tell you,
my mother really had a
495
00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:10.660
great influence.
496
00:23:10.660 --> 00:23:14.500
But after my mother and my
dad, it would be your mother.
497
00:23:14.500 --> 00:23:17.980
Your mother is a great spiritual influence in my life,
498
00:23:17.980 --> 00:23:20.200
and I'm so grateful for Denise
499
00:23:20.200 --> 00:23:22.450
and that she's walked with me for all
500
00:23:22.450 --> 00:23:24.010
of these wonderful years.

Rick dives deeper into - the
angel's message to Mary:
513
00:24:00.410 --> 00:24:01.670
the dreams God gave
514
00:24:01.670 --> 00:24:04.910
to Joseph: Christ's early years fleeing from
515
00:24:04.910 --> 00:24:06.440

00:24:54.980 --> 00:24:58.370
because we're having such a good time talking about all the

things that we're thankful for.
536
00:24:59.900 --> 00:25:03.200
And there are so many things to be thankful for.
537
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:08.200
What are you thankful for? Have you made a list you need to?
538
00:25:08.390 --> 00:25:11.270
Colossians 2:7 says, we are supposed
539
00:25:11.270 --> 00:25:16.270
to be overflowing with thankfulness.
540
00:25:16.670 --> 00:25:18.500
Now tomorrow's Thanksgiving.
541
00:25:18.500 --> 00:25:20.750
So I want you to put together your list
542
00:25:20.750 --> 00:25:21.830
and you're with your family
543
00:25:21.830 --> 00:25:25.190
or your friends, begin to just
express what you are thankful
544
00:25:25.190 --> 00:25:27.350
and what you are grateful for.
545
00:25:27.350 --> 00:25:29.960
But hey, remember that
we're here to pray for you.
546
00:25:29.960 --> 00:25:31.880

00:25:58.850 --> 00:26:00.410
and we're gonna pray for you.
558
00:26:00.410 --> 00:26:02.030
And Denise today. I want you to pray.
559
00:26:03.470 --> 00:26:06.980
Father, we thank you for your presence more than anything,
560
00:26:06.980 --> 00:26:10.820
Lord, that you live inside
of us and you give us power,
561
00:26:10.820 --> 00:26:12.410
and you give us wisdom,
562
00:26:12.410 --> 00:26:16.430
and you give us courage to make decisions and walk through.
563
00:26:16.430 --> 00:26:19.345
And Lord, you never
leave us nor forsake us.
564
00:26:19.345 --> 00:26:21.080
Yes.
And Lord, we thank you
565
00:26:21.080 --> 00:26:25.880
for your constant giving us
mercy and grace and peace.
566
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:28.970
We give you all the praise in Jesus' name.
567
00:26:28.970 --> 00:26:32.630
Amen. Well, please join us tomorrow.
568
00:26:32.630 --> 00:26:33.980
We know that it's Thanksgiving,
569
00:26:33.980 --> 00:26:37.700
but try to take a moment to
join us as we talk more about
570
00:26:37.700 --> 00:26:40.520
what we're thankful for
on Thanksgiving day.
571
00:26:40.520 --> 00:26:44.520
And until then, remember Ecclesiastes 8:4 says,
572
00:26:44.520 --> 00:26:46.185
"Where the word of the
573
00:26:47.130 --> 00:26:49.020
key is there is power."
574
00:26:49.020 --> 00:26:51.270
If you've never received
Jesus as your Savior
575
00:26:51.270 --> 00:26:55.620
and Lord, now is the time for
you to experience a new life
576
00:26:55.620 --> 00:26:57.810
Jesus has to give you.
577
00:26:57.810 --> 00:27:01.860
Pray this prayer with me right now - Lord,
578
00:27:01.860 --> 00:27:05.880
I repent of my sin and receive you as my Savior
579
00:27:05.880 --> 00:27:08.850
and Lord. Wash away my sin
580
00:27:08.850 --> 00:27:11.850
and make me completely new.
581
00:27:11.850 --> 00:27:15.750
I thank you that my sin is removed
582
00:27:15.750 --> 00:27:20.750
and Satan no longer has any
right to lay claim on me.
583
00:27:21.210 --> 00:27:25.200
I faithfully promise that
I will serve you as my Lord
584
00:27:25.200 --> 00:27:26.880
for the rest of my life.
585
00:27:27.780 --> 00:27:32.340
Amen. If you just prayed the prayer of salvation
586
00:27:32.340 --> 00:27:35.040
with us, would you please let us know by going
587
00:27:35.040 --> 00:27:38.040

588
00:27:38.040 --> 00:27:39.660
