Telling The TRUTH
100414 Telling The Truth 28 Minute Program
[music] You're listening to "Telling the Truth" from Triple T. Christian Youth Ministries, "Telling the Truth to and through Teenagers." Here is Triple T. Founder and President George Dumes. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. He died for our sins. He was buried, and he rose again on the third day. For this reason, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Ephesians 3.16, New King James Version. Are you ready to bow? To allow God to know how much you appreciate what He has done for you by allowing His Son Jesus Christ to be born of a virgin, to live perfectly, and then to die for your sins and my sins, the sins of everybody who believe on Him. God is a plan for you and for me. After we have bowed our knees and thanked Him, He wants us to get up off our knees and go with the Gospel to people who need to know Jesus. That's why we want to offer you a copy of God's Word. The New King James Bible is available to you to give to someone between the ages of 10 and 19 who needs to know the Lord. We are so delighted that people have responded, and we ask you to respond now. To get your Bible to give away, call 812-867-2418. Thank God for His Word, and get His Word to someone who needs Jesus. There are youth out there whose whole lives could be involved in doing something wonderful for God's glory. Call 812-867-2418 for your Bible to give away. As a child, I learned a prayer before me as it began. God is good. God is good. And that great good God wants us to know who He is. Listen to Ephesians 3.15, New King James Version. From whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named. God wants you and me to acknowledge who He is, to respond to His love that He provided for you and me by sending His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to die for our sins, to rise again, and to promise to return. God wants you and me to tell the story of the death, bear, and resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and let youth, especially those between the ages of 10 and 19, know how to get to heaven. We offer you a Bible, New King James Version, God's ABCs are in the inside front flap. God's Ten Commandments on the inside back flap. And if you will give that to someone who's young, we will give it to you to give away. Call 812-867-2418. Let us know how we can pray for you and for the person to whom you are going to present the Bible. Call 812-867-2418. And know this. When you care enough, wonderful things can happen. Lives can be changed, hearts rearranged, and the whole world, one by one by one, can be different. When you have done that, admitting that you have sinned, turning to Jesus from your sins, receiving from Him the gift of God eternal life, God's Holy Spirit indwells you. Listen, please, to Ephesians 3-16, New King James, that He would grant you according to the riches of His glory to be strengthened with might through His Spirit in the inner man. Yes, God will do for you wonderful things if you are willing to trust Him. He wants you to tell others about Him. We are delighted that so many of you have called and have requested a Bible to give to a 10 to 19 year old. We're glad that so many of you care. But what about you? Have you called yet? We have a Bible to give to you to give to someone who's young. Someone whose life could be lived to the fullest to honor the Lord Jesus. Call 812-867-2418. Let us know how to pray for you and the person for whom you are concerned. Call 812-867-2418. We've got a Bible to you to give to a youth and know that we'll be praying with you and for you. When you let us know what your requests are, God bless you as you consider doing this deed for God's glory. He will make you usable and use you if you are willing. Listen to Ephesians 3-17, New King James, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith that you being rooted and grounded in love. That's a wonderful promise and God will allow you to serve Him if you are willing in dwelling you, giving you the power and the privilege of sharing the truth with people who need Jesus. God's Word is quick and powerful and sharpened in a two-edged sword. Will you join the many who have requested a Bible to give to a youth between the ages of 10 and 19? Call now 812-867-2418. And request your Bible and let us know who we can pray with you about who will receive the Bible that you are going to present. Again, the number 812-867-2418. God can use you amazingly for His glory if you are willing. The Bible will come your way. All you have to do is to determine to whom you are going to present it, prayerfully going, get a prayer partner, read God's Word yourself, and then go with God's good news to a youth between the ages of 10 and 19 and watch God work wonderfully. He is willing to use you to impact a person who needs to know Jesus Christ personally. Listen to Ephesians 3-18, New King James, that you may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height. Let me ask you some questions. How wide is your world? How long is your love? How deep is your dedication? How high is your sky? Are you willing to share your faith in Jesus Christ if indeed you are a believer with those who have not yet trusted Jesus personally, especially to youth? The youth of our world are desperately in need of someone sharing the truth with them. Will you be that someone? A Bible. God's Word. Infallible. Inspired. New King James Version is available to you to take to a youth. Call 812-867-2418 and we will send a Bible your way. Let us know how we can best pray for you. Think very carefully about your own personal involvement with the Lord. What is the width and length and depth and height of your relationship with God? Are you willing to go with the Gospel? Call 812-867-2418. We'll send a Bible to you. Let us know how we can pray for you and the person for whom you are concerned. Listen to what God wants to do for you. Ephesians 3-18, New King James says, "To know the love of Christ which passes knowledge that you may be filled with all fullness of God." Isn't that fantastic? That's what God wants to do for you. And because he is willing to do that for you, are you willing to serve him by being a Christian communicator to youth who need Jesus? Someone you know needs to know Jesus. They need to know how to get to heaven. They need to understand that they must admit they have sinned. To believe on the Lord Jesus personally, to tell others about him. We have a Bible to give to you, to give to them. Call 812-867-2418. And let us know how we can pray with you and for you and for the person for whom you are concerned, who will receive the Bible that you are going to give. 812-867-2418. Join other people across the country who are listeners and who are responders. We receive calls from New Hampshire to South Dakota, from across Wisconsin, Illinois, Kansas, Florida, and on and on. What about you? Wherever you are, there is somebody in your area who needs Jesus. Call 812-867-2418. And we'll send you a Bible to give. Listen to Ephesians 3-20-21, New King James Version. Now to him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. The young generation, those between the ages of 10 and 19, are mixed up, many of them, and don't know who Jesus is. That he cared enough for them, that he died, that he was buried, that he rose again on a third day, being born of a virgin, living perfectly. That story needs to be shared. And it's in God's Word. And God's Word is available to you to give to a youth between 10 and 19, if you will. Call 812-867-2418. The number 812-867-2418. Ask for a Bible to give to a youth, pray with us for him or her, and get another prayer partner, then go with God's Word when you receive your Bible. 812-867-2418. You can reach somebody, if you are willing. The question is, are you? Every Saturday at 727 p.m. you are invited to attend a live youth event at Triple T, 13,000 US-41 North at Booneville near Harmony Road, midway between I-64 and Evansville Regional Airport. Every first Saturday, a good news club for ages 6 to 9 is available in a separate room. For more information call 812-867-2418 or visit www.tripletchristianyouth.org. You don't even have to wait to get a Bible in the mail to call for one. You can come to Triple T any single Saturday night at 727. And everybody between the ages of 10 and 19 is given a Bible of their very own. And if you are an adult and you come with or without teenagers, you will be given a Bible also if you will promise to give it to a youth. Saturday nights are exciting at Triple T and they continue week after week after week with a great thrust forward. It was a wonderful thing on September 13. The theme was resources. Temi shared the account of Jeremiah approaching the king and being granted his requests, including obtaining the materials necessary to build the wall in Jerusalem. The next Saturday, September 20, featured Trumpeter, Chiz Ryder, who wowed everyone with his God-given musical ability. A special guest that night was Triple T alumnus Stan Lambert, who presented a challenge from his heart to current Triple T teenagers and preteens attending. The thrust that night was action. Temi shared more details of Nehemiah's wall-building project as the people had a mind to work. It was my privilege to present the Gospel with an invitation to believe in the Lord Jesus. And then, last Saturday, the topic was you. Continuing to pray theme, people, resources, action, you. Triple T alumnus Brian Fuller and the band Frontline 365 were featured. Alumnus Zach Slater from All New Illinois let us see you at the poll report time. Temi continued the story of Nehemiah's rebuilding the wall in Jerusalem. Shelly Bernard involved students to illustrate the building of the wall with no breaks or gaps. There were boxes scattered and the kids put them all together so that it was a very, very tight-fitting situation. Three high and three across. Brian Fuller shared highlights of his involvement across the years, beginning as a teenager attending the Triple T Trash State Youth for Christ Club meeting in Mount Vernon, Illinois, and his Saturday night participation. Brian is a stalwart supporter of Triple T. Following the Frontline 365 band, Temi related the story of former Triple T staff member Roger Kreitz, who went to be with the Lord on Tuesday, September 23. He had been battling cancer for 13 years. Roger met his wife Jan Blum at Triple T following his Triple T staff days. He was involved in ministry in Texas, Indiana, and the western Chicago suburb of Geneva, where he was still ministering until the time God called him home. The wonderful thing is, Roger had a message that he shared just about a year ago. He said that people would often ask how he was doing. His answer, good enough, physically. Roger shared that some people want to be spiritually just good enough. Temi shared Roger's challenge. Don't hold back from receiving what God has for you. Jesus is sufficient today for whatever you need. God will empower you to live the life he has for you. Whether or not you are healed, that is cured from your physical difficulties. Jesus offers spiritual healing from sin sickness to everyone, and then he instructs us to proclaim his hope to our world. It was my privilege to present the gospel, and seven youth responded to the invitation. Each was prayed for individually. That's what Triple T is all about. It's a wonderful thing to see God working magnificently. Triple T billboard is now being seen just south of the former Whirlpool building on Highway 41. It can be seen by thousands of passersby. The dominant message, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ." And it includes Triple T's mission, telling the truth to teenagers and our website. Requests continue to come in for Bibles from listeners far and wide to be given by them to 10 to 19 year olds. It's always a delight to have interaction with former Triple T staff and those who attended or were involved in various aspects of Triple T as teenagers. Two we have met with in the last few days are pastors of churches whose congregations support Triple T with monthly contributions and host Triple T teams each year. One of those, Scott Rasko, pastor of Sanborn Baptist in Sanborn, Indiana, Knox County. The other, Steve Forrester. Pastor of the closest congregation to Triple T's building, Scott Township, General Baptist. These two gentlemen and many, many others have really had an impact on others because of the impact Triple T had on them as youth. It's a wonderful thing to watch God do special, special things. Right now, these and other former teenagers involved in ministry have a desire to see more church youth groups receive Tiger team peer evangelism and leading youth training. And to pursue the possibilities of Tiger team impact evangelistic youth efforts in their communities. The go to reconnect or connect with pastors and youth workers from local Bible believing congregations in each of the 93 Illinois, Indiana and Kentucky counties within 100 miles of Triple T. Between now and February 7, 2015 as Triple T's year of Jubilee begins, it will be the ministry's 49th anniversary. And we want to have people involved and we want to be involved with those people in all 93 counties. Last week, Carol Youngs, Jeff and Bobby Mobley, Shelley Bernard, Tammy and I gathered around Mary to pray for her and the upcoming Fall Festival. Meaning in the living room where Triple T began, the group brainstormed ways to implement Fall Festival 2014. Each person present volunteered to be involved and to contact others to help Triple T's booth day by day October 6 through 11. And you're invited to meet us at the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival. Each of the participants prayed personally for God's will to be done and for people to be available to help with this very special project. Please pray for possibilities for Tiger team impact evangelistic youth efforts. And please pray for doors to open for Triple T representatives to present the possibilities to local Bible believing congregations all across the tri-state. We're endeavoring to prepare telling the truth newsletter in the next several days, sharing reflections and projections. The plan is for it to be available by mail on Triple T's website and available distribution through businesses, churches and other outlets including the West Side Nut Club Fall Festival Triple T booth. We're delighted to the people who are praying for us and especially for Mary. She was able to receive another chemo treatment last Monday and we are delighted with the consultations that we are having with Dr. Tony Stevens and others. God is doing wonderful things and so we appreciate your prayers for Mary. And so please continue. She's been very weak but continues to endeavor to keep on keeping on. It's very encouraging when friends and family make contact or stop by. The last two Saturday evenings, Bobby Mobley, has stayed with Mary during the rally time enabling me to participate. We're so grateful for all who are showing compassion and concern. Please pray for Jan Bloom Krites and the family of Roger Krites. Roger was a long time friend and a faithful servant of the Lord. And one of the first former Triple T staff members to be promoted to his heavenly home. Then a long time friend of Mary's and mine also went to be with the Lord last week. 91 year old Jack Turney, founder of spoken word of God Ministries. He recorded Cliff Barrow's reading of the New King James Bible. We met him during our Bob Jones University days in the mid 1950s. Many other friends and family members continue to face very difficult circumstances. We're concerned in praying much. We would count a privilege to pray with you and for you. Please let us know your present needs, hearts, desires and blessings. Again, as you listen to this broadcast, why don't you get other people informed about the broadcast possibilities? It's available anytime on podcast and you can tune in on iTunes. Again, we're thrilled about the privilege that we have of sharing God's good news every single day, seven days a week, all across America. And especially right here, where you are. And we hope that you will be praying with us and for us. And again, you're invited to come any Saturday night to Triple T. 727 is the starting time and don't miss it because if you're not there on time, you will miss the landing of the 727 Jet. Every Saturday night is different. Every Saturday night has icebreakers and involvement, participation, music, a message and all kinds of interactions. And we look forward to having you because we want to give you a Bible, if you're between the ages of 10 and 19, and if you're older, to give you one, to give to somebody in that age group. Stay tuned. We have more things to share that are exciting. I want to share a report on the first 500 days of 1000 days of prayer and action that began May 13, 2013 projected to go through February 6, 2016 to be God willing, Triple T's 50th anniversary. During the first 500 days that ended last Wednesday, September 24, more than 500 individuals made a decision for Christ. All glory goes to God. It was my privilege to present the challenge approved by Triple T's executive board to pray for an average of $1,000 a day, $500,000 to be given by Triple T's 50th anniversary. People are responding and it's been happening and we're delighted, but we need you to prayerfully consider making a contribution of any size to Triple T. Again, if you are a pastor or a youth leader and you come to Triple T any Saturday night between tonight and November 1, we have for you a book titled "Why Jesus?" Rediscovering his truth in an age of mass-marketed spirituality by Ravi Zacharias, one of the great Christian apologists of our day. So this is free for every pastor or youth leader that comes any Saturday night. If you bring a group of three or more, we have another special gift for you. It's a book called "Multiply" and it will help you in your personal ministry to help your congregation to reach out to more and more people. The vision of Triple T is dynamic and far, far reaching. It is every youth before turning 20 to have the opportunity to hear the gospel with an invitation to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Our mission, telling the truth, to through teenagers, to win them to Christ, to train them for Christ, teaching them how to share their faith through their local churches, on their campuses, throughout their communities, and into their world where God leads them in their future. We're thrilled and excited about all the things that are happening. We are a part of a very special ministry that is now expanding. It's called the Motorcycle Sunday School Mission and 10% of all the general fund that comes into Triple T is reinvested in motorcycle missions all across Africa and now some in Asia and soon to be in Central America. It's a delight to share these wonderful happenings because each one of the 13 Sunday schools sponsored by Triple T across Africa and Asia are averaging between 100 and 200 every day that the Sunday school is open. And so that means that at least 1,300 and sometimes up to 2,600 students are hearing God's gospel, the planet salvation, their learning scripture verses. They are sharing the good news and they are going into their world. And so it's a delight to partner with Motorcycle Sunday School Mission. We just received word that the Stephen Deakman Memorial Sunday School is being moved to Zimbabwe, where Stephen as a teenager wrote a motorcycle with what was then called the Desert Angels. And now going back to the very place where he went as a teenager, there will be a circuit of 6 Sunday schools in Zimbabwe to begin. Others will be added later. So you are invited to be a Tiger teammate. Here's how. Let us know that you are going to be praying with us and for us and then invest whatever God leads you to. $20 will make available a scholarship for a 10 to 19 year old to be trained in leadership and peer evangelism. Or you can give more. Some are giving $20 or more a month. Some are even giving $100 or more a month. But as you give, God will multiply your gift and he will bless the giver abundantly. As I have said so often, you cannot out give God. God will always bless you abundantly when you invest your time, your talent, your treasure in the furtherance of God's glorious Gospel. Again, we look forward to hearing from you. Call us or write us. And we will be delighted to send a Bible to you or best yet. Give you one when you visit Triple T tonight or the next Saturday you possibly can. It all starts at 7.27 p.m. Christ through you can change the world.
