1. "So, you know, it's kind of frustrating, really, when you think about it. So many people you'll hear say, oh, you can't prove the Bible. Yes, you can. In many, many, many ways. And I heard on the radio a pastor talking about this book of biblical archaeology. And he highly recommended it. It was new. I think it had just been released. And I ordered it. And they have actually found the site of Abraham and the oaks of Mamre." [00:00] (33 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
2. "Nothing in the Bible has ever been disproven. There's things that haven't been found yet. But there's never been anything that was actually proven to not be true. And after all. These thousands of years. Is there any other book you could say that about? No." [02:34] (19 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)
3. "So, again, let's look there. So, again, we have Jesus looking over Jerusalem. We have three major questions. Why is he weeping? What does this thy day mean? And what were they supposed to know that they didn't know? So, Paul tells us in Romans chapter 15, verse 4, For whatsoever things were written aforetime, that means Old Testament, because remember, Paul, there's no New Testament written yet. So, when he says aforetime, he's talking about the Old Testament, were written for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of the Scriptures, might have hope."

4. "So, if you don't know Jesus, it's actually easy. If we look at Acts 2, verse 21, it says, And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved. So, that's all you gotta do. It's so easy. I think that's a second reason. First reason being people feel so guilty and dirty and all that. That kind of stuff. I think the second reason is it's so easy. They say it's too easy. It can't be it. I gotta do something. No, you don't. God did all the work. You can't save yourself. You're a sinner. You can't save yourself from sin. You need somebody who is not a sinner to save yourself from sin. There's only been one of those. And that was Jesus, the perfect man who never sinned."

5. "For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. He's not out to condemn people. I mean people, I think that's one reason a lot of people shy away from Christianity. They feel guilty. You know what I mean? And all this stuff. Oh, there's all those rules and I can't keep those rules. Well, of course you can't. No one can. Good grief. There's a remedy. Jesus is the remedy for all that. He'll take away all that trouble and He'll start guiding you and helping you each day to live as a Christian." [54:08] (41 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

2. "So, Jesus said, He's weeping, This thy day, thou knewest not the time of thy visitation. So what was Gabriel's error when he told Daniel this? Zero. No error whatsoever. He nailed it to the very day, hundreds of years before Jesus rode into Jerusalem. Even before the city walls were rebuilt. Neither one of them had happened. The starting point nor the ending point had even happened yet. And Gabriel told Daniel the exacts of what was going to be happening. So, absolutely fascinating. Are we surprised? No, we shouldn't be. Because we know that God's Word is perfect." [42:45] (46 seconds) (Download raw clip | Download cropped clip)

4. "So, we've studied up and now we start to get busy being doers of the Word. So we've learned and now we're going to put it into action. So that's the Christian. What about the non-Christian? And this is my day. It's very interesting if we look here. It says, We then are workers together with Him, also plead with you not to receive the grace of God in vain. For He says, In an acceptable time I have heard you, and in the day of salvation I have helped you. Behold, now is the accepted time. Behold, now is the day of salvation. When you see this and you see Jesus and you recognize Him, that's your day. You know what I mean? If you recognize who He really was and you believe in your heart that that was God's Son, the Messiah, and that He rose from the dead, He died on the cross to pay for your sins, that's your acceptable day to be saved."
