Telling The TRUTH
060714 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." As he was preparing to go to the Father in Heaven, Jesus gave us what we call "the Great Commission." And he said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." Mark 16.15. As disciples of Christ and listeners to that challenge, they obeyed God's commission, and the gospel has gone forward in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. And it's still going. And that's what we're all about at Triple T. Christian Youth Ministries. We are endeavoring to share the good news of the saving power of the Lord Jesus with everybody we possibly can. The vision? Every youth before turning twenty to have the opportunity to hear the gospel with an invitation to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Will you help that vision become a reality? Will you share the gospel with people, especially youth? Those from 10 to 19? Will you take God's ABCs and let them know they have to admit that they have sinned? To believe on Christ, to confess Him publicly, and then they will be children of God. Members of God's forever family? We want to send ABCs to you. They are free. Area code 812-867-2418. Listen to Romans 1-16, New King James Version. For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first, and also for the Greek. That means that everybody everywhere has the opportunity, once they have received the gospel of Jesus, to believe on Him, and then to tell other people about Him. Are you ashamed of the gospel? Are you willing to go with God's good news to people who need the Lord? I hope you will. We have for you God's ABCs. They are all Scripture. Romans 3-23, Romans 6-23, John 3-16, Romans 10-9 and 10. We want you to invite people, if you will, to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. You can tell them how to get to heaven. These ABCs are available to you to present to people whom you know, especially youth. We want to reach everybody we possibly can, but we want to reach those who need Jesus who are not yet twenty, who are ready to receive God's gift of eternal life. So will you pray? Then go with the gospel to people who need the Lord. We're praying that you will. Call, area code 812-867-2418. And let us know how many ABCs you will prayerfully present to people. That's 812-867-2418. May God bless you as you go with the gospel. Are you reading God's Word daily? Are you hiding God's Word in your heart? But what does it say? The Word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart. That is the Word of faith which we preach. Romans 10-8, New King James Version. Paul was saying that to the recipients of his letter, including you and me. Are you willing to go with the gospel today to share God's good news with people who need Jesus? I hope you will consider reaching those who need the Lord, especially those who have not yet turned twenty. That's the vision to get the gospel to everybody before his or her 20th birthday, to receive God's gift of eternal life, to believe on the Lord Jesus. But we can't do it by ourselves. We have got to have labors in God's harvest field, people just like you. Will you prayerfully consider being a Christian communicator and taking the gospel to people who need the Lord? Call 812-867-2418. Let us know how many copies of God's ABCs you will present to people who need Jesus. That's 812-867-2418. When you receive your copies of these very special scriptures, know you will be prayed for and with, and we are trusting God for results. Call now. God will use you if you are willing to be made usable by Him. If you've received copies of God's ABCs, you know that one of the key scriptures is Romans 10-9. That if you confess with your mouth, the Lord Jesus, and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. The beginning point is to admit you've sinned. If you haven't, will you right now say, "God, I'm a sinner and I'm sorry, please forgive me," and then turn to the Lord Jesus? And are you willing to receive His gift of eternal life, forgiveness of your sins, and the privilege of sharing the gospel with people who need Him? If you're already a believer, wonderful. If you're not, this is your moment of truth. As a believer, brand new are a long time ago. When you said yes to Jesus, people are waiting for you to tell them how to get to heaven. God's ABCs are available to you to present to others. Romans 3.23 is followed by Romans 6.23. Then John 3.16, then Romans 10.9 and 10. Listen carefully. God wants you to believe on Him. He wants you to share the good news with people everywhere. Call 812-867-2418. That's here he code 812-867-2418 and order your ABCs. They're free and will send them out to you immediately. Be praying and then go with the gospel. For with the heart when believes under righteousness, but with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Romans 10-10, New King James. What a wonderful promise from God's Word. Have you confessed with your mouth, the Lord Jesus? Have you told other people that Jesus died for their sins, that he was buried, that he rose again triumphantly? That he gave the challenge, the great commission, to go into our world with the gospel of the Lord Jesus? If you are doing this, wonderful. If you haven't started, this is a good time to begin. Make certain that you are a believer. Make certain that your sins are forgiven. Make certain that you have received the gift of God eternal life. And having done that, share your faith in Christ with people who need the Lord. Will you go to somebody very soon, prayerfully presenting God's ABCs? I hope you will. They're available to you. Literally hundreds have been sent out to listeners on telling the truth broadcast. We want you to be one of those Christian communicators. There are people who need the Lord that you know that we don't, but you could reach, if you will. Call area code 812-867-2418. That's 812-867-2418. And tell us how many copies of God's ABCs you will prayerfully present to folk who need Jesus. People who could go to heaven, if you will tell them how. For the Scripture says, "Whoever believes on him will not be put to shame." Romans 10-11, New King James Version. Isn't that a fabulous promise? God does not want any of us to miss eternity. You will be put to shame if you don't receive God's gift of eternal life. There's a place designed for the devil and his angels. It's called hell and it's real and it's hot and it's forever. And no person, no individual, nobody needs to go there. But everybody will go there who has not yet believed on the Lord Jesus. Understand that. That's what Jesus said. And if you'll believe on Christ, wonderful, then you need to tell other people how they too can believe and not be put to shame. Will you do that? I hope you will. We've got to have workers in God's harvest field. The harvest truly is plentiful, but the labors are few. Will you be one of God's labors, one of his shares of the good news? Call 812-867-2418. Get copies of God's ABCs to share with people who need the Lord. Lots of you have, but many of you have not yet. Call now 812-867-2418. Tell us how many you will prayerfully give to people who need Jesus. Too many people think there is a distinction between Jewish folk and Gentiles, that there are two ways to heaven, but there is only one way. Listen to Romans 10-12, New King James Version. For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek. For the same Lord overall is rich to us all who call upon Him. What does that mean? It means, say God. I'm a sinner and I'm sorry, please forgive me. I'm going to receive not only your forgiveness, but the gift of God, eternal life through Christ Jesus. And I'm willing to confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus and tell others how they too, by believing on Him, can have life that lasts forever. If you will do that, if you will understand that God will make you usable and use you triumphantly, call area code 812-867-2418. And tell us, you want to be a Christian communicator. You want to tell the truth to people who need the Lord. We'll send you God's ABCs. You can give them to anybody and everybody. Call 812-867-2418. Those who will be praying for you as you call. Let us know how many copies of God's ABCs you will prayerfully give to people who need Jesus. Somebody or some bodies are waiting for you to go with the truth. Will you? Every Saturday at 7.27 p.m., you are invited to attend a live youth event at Triple T, 13,000 US-41 North at Booneville and 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. [Music] At 11.30 this morning, there's going to be a lunch for the people who are gathering at Triple T to get ready for a fair share. It's Tiger Team training, one today and another one next Saturday. It goes from 11.30 today to 9 o'clock next Saturday to prepare for fair share, which will happen July 7, God willing, through August the 9th. People are being trained in peer evangelism, leading youth. Teens involved going evangelizing regularly. They're coming from Southern Illinois, coming down from Richland County, coming over from Jefferson County. They're going to be reaching out to people in Wayne County and some other areas during fair share of 2014. So we're praying lots for those that will be coming today for the training, that God will hit them in the heart. They'll learn and then be ready and prepared to go with the Gospel. Zach Slater, youth director of Faith Bible Church in all the Illinois, is bringing a van load of kids for the training and a brand new acquaintance, Logan Hackworth, who is a friend of and a cool pastor with Brian Fuller from over at Orchardville, Illinois, is coming with a group of kids also. Today's a very significant day being June the 7th. My dad was born June the 7th in Mount Carmel, Illinois in the year of 1910. Dad's been with Jesus for a long, long time. He went to be with the Lord when he was only 63 years old. Another significance of the date of June the 7th is that that's when the first stud walls went up on the Triple T Christian Communication Center. Our niece, Kathy Greer Beeman, was singing out in the construction site and she was photographed and her picture was in the Evansville Courier newspaper, the Sunday paper the next day. What a wonderful thing it is to see what God has done across the years with people. What a wonderful thing to know that God is continuing to make us usable and use us for His glory. Our connection with Brian Fuller started at the Youth for Christ Triple T Club in Mount Vernon, Illinois. We were privileged to meet in the showroom of an Osmo Field dealership every Monday night and we had the opportunity of meeting Brian and his family and bringing them here. We published a magazine called Telling the Truth and we featured Brian in the first issue in 1980. Brian has come back many times to re-involve himself with his music and his message in event after event. And he's going to be coming back God willing to be with us one more time at Jesus Christ Change in the World Summit 25. We've been doing this every year for 25 years. And that will happen God willing on July the 12th. Brian now has a band called Frontline 365 and they'll be with us. Live and in person, God willing that evening. Brian is now the associate pastor of Archerville Church in Archerville, Illinois. He is a guy who has been with us in several occasions when we did the Mount Carmel, Illinois impact at the high school. We had a goal to have 400 there and God sent in 450. Every seat was filled and there were people in the aisles and it was a marvelous, marvelous time. And we've had other events where God has blessed abundantly and we've worked together. And so we're excited about the fact that Brian's going to be with us and that Logan is going to be here today God willing with some youth from his area. And we're hoping that you'll be praying with us in forest as these training days happen. There'll be another one God willing next Saturday. And other people are coming from other places on the 14th of June. And so as we plan ways and means to reach the most possible people, most effectively for fair share 2014, we need your prayers. Because we have already been invited to nine different counties, but we have inquiries in at least 10 other counties and more pending. And we need you to pray that we will be at the right place at the right time to accomplish God's purpose. It's a thrill to watch the Lord work. We even have scholarships available for any person between the ages of 10 and 19 who is willing to come and be trained and be here for one of these training days today or next Saturday. Or, if not possible, either of those then on Saturday, the 12th of July for Jesus Christ changing the world's summit. We're thrilled because of the way God has worked and the people that have come together to cause things to happen. Our theme for Jesus Christ changing the world's summit 25 is Good Look and Feet. Brian Fuller wrote a song by that title and I'll be sharing at the next part of this broadcast today the lyrics for that particular song that's based on the book of Romans chapter 10 verse 15. We'll share that with you in just a few moments. But meanwhile, understand that God has a plan for you. He wants you to be involved as a Christian communicator. We're just really excited about the fact that people across the country are calling and asking for copies of God's ABC so that they can give them to the people in the areas where they live. And we are seeing God use those pieces of paper, those people that are willing to go with the gospel. And the gospel is continuing to be thrust forward in the hearts and lives of people as God's ABCs are given one by one to people who need the Lord. It begins with the admission of sin. When you admit you have sinned, that's the first question. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God has eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord Jesus himself said for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that her believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. And then we're to tell people to confess Christ publicly. If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him for the dead you will be saved for the heart one believes to righteousness and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. Every year we have the privilege of seeing people. Say I admit I've sinned, I'll believe on Christ, I'll tell people that I believe in last summer at fairs. We were in 12 different counties last year in 2013 and we had the privilege of sharing the Gospel one on one with over 3,000 individuals in those county fairs and street festivals. This year we hope to go to a lot more. We hope to be able to reach many more people as God lays it on the hearts of people to pray. We have people who care. We have people who are investing their time, their talent, their treasure and we invite you to do likewise. We believe that God would be pleased for some wonderful things to transpire as we move forward with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. We have what we call a coalition of like-minded people and we call it the culture of cooperation. And so we've invited people from the Evansville Christian Life Center, the Evansville Dream Center, restoring our heritage, the right to life of Southwest Indiana, youth of Angism Association and many, many affiliates, including AIDS orphans and street children, the Motorcycle Sunday School Mission, Teen Missions International, Tiger Team Impact, Higher Bound, Romans Road Ministries and more. And we've just invited the compassionate care people who are placing unborn babies through adoption into the hearts and hands of caring Christians who will raise those kids and bring them up in the nurtured admonition of the Lord. We're thrilled because of what God has already done. But we want you to know that you can have a part in all of this. So plan now to be with us on the 12th of July. And if you can come over tonight, that would be great to have you with us. Let's talk about some of these, what we call world's greatest teenagers and preteens. And again, we're just looking forward eagerly to see what God's going to do. We want you to know that as you listen to the lyrics in just a few moments of good-looking feet, that you need to examine yourself and check your feet. What's in your shoes? Are you wearing boots? You're wearing sandals? What are you wearing? And do you have good-looking feet? Well, we'll share the why of all that and what the story is all about with Brian's song because we believe that God wants every one of us to understand that the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ needs to go forward. We need to put on the whole armor of God to stand against the wilds of the devil. We'll be sharing more about that in just a few more minutes. So don't go away, please stay tuned because we've got some things to share, especially the lyrics to the song written by Brian Fuller. One of my favorite tunes now called Good-Looking Feet. So don't go away. Listen. Thank you for listening. And by the way, we want to give you a very special invitation to come on and be with us this evening here at Triple T. The rally starts at 727. You'll meet some of the world's greatest teenagers and preteens and some outstanding youth leaders. And it's Hot Dog at Stune. That means a big read roast at the end of the rally tonight for everybody who comes. It's going to be a great time together and you are hereby invited. Also, put on your calendar Saturday, July 12. Jesus Christ changed in the world Summit 25. Brian Fuller and his group will be here, a band that they call Frontline 365. And these guys are very, very good and you're going to like them. They're going to like their band instrumentation and their voices. Well, one of the things you're going to hear God willing on the 12th of July is the song that Brian Fuller has written called Good-Looking Feet. You want to know what that's all about? Well, why don't you look up for yourself the Bible verse of Romans 10, 15. All of this is based on that. Listen, verse 1. "Blessed is the one who brings the good news, the great good news of hope. Blessed is the one who runs to win the race. His feet, God, will promote. Blessed is the one, the one who says to you, there's just one way to God. Blessed is the one who gives it all to him. To him, God gives a nod." And in the pre-chorus says, "Beautiful are the feet of them that bring the good news. Good-looking feet. That's what I want. Do I need good-looking shoes? The chorus. I may not have pretty face or a big muscle man physique. There's just one thing I really, really want. I want good-looking feet. There's just one thing I really, really want. I want good-looking feet. I want to be the one, the one who plays his part in the kingdom never-ending. I want to be the one who walks with steps of faith and has a heavenly understanding. Will you be the one who brings the good news, the great good news of peace? Will you be the one, they'll point and say, "Hey, you've got good-looking feet." Isn't that a little different than any song that you've heard lately? Again, it's based entirely on the Bible. And it's based on that verse that we shared with you a while ago, Romans 10, 15. Check it out. And note this, that God wants each one of us to put on the whole armor of God, to stand against the wise of the devil, and having done all the stand. I'm going to paraphrase it now, but I want you to go from head to toe as God presents it in His Word. Have on the helmet of salvation. How do you get that? By admitting that you are a sinner, by asking God to forgive you, by believing on the Lord Jesus, and by being willing to tell other people, having on the helmet of salvation, and then having on the breastplate of righteousness. There is none righteous, no not one. Only God is righteous, but we can put on His righteousness because Jesus is total righteousness. And it's available to us, that righteousness from Him. And then the next thing we're going to put on is the belt of truth. Truth. Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth in the life." Nobody comes to the Father, except by Me. He said, "You shall know the truth, and the truth shall set you free." And then the next thing you need to have on are those shoes. Those shoes on your feet. Having your feet shot with the preparation of the gospel of peace. That's what Ephesians, chapter 6, verse 15 tells us to do. And then we're to have the shield of faith to ward off all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And then the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God. God's Word is quick and powerful and sharpened at a two-edged sword. Do you have good looking feet? I hope you do, and if you don't, I hope you'll avail yourself of the opportunity of getting everything totally in tune with God. Read Romans, chapter 10. Read Ephesians, chapter 6, and see how it all fits together. And hell, we are to go with the gospel through the people who need the Lord. Have your feet shot with the preparation of the gospel of peace. Be ready to go into your world and share the good news and the saving power of Jesus Christ. Again, you're invited to come the night to be with us at Triple T. We want you to pray with us and for us, and you can be a tiger teammate by investing $20 to provide a scholarship for one of the world's greatest teenagers or preteens. When you do that, listen to the number, it'll be given to you in just a minute, and you can call or you can come by yourself and everybody who comes will get a New King James Bible as our gift to you for coming our way. Remember, it all begins at 7.27 p.m. this day, June 7, 2014. Christ through you can change the world. Every Saturday at 7.27 p.m. you are invited to attend a live youth event at Triple T. 13,000 US-41 North at Booneville, New Harmony Road, midway between I-64 and Evansville Regional Airport.
