Telling The TRUTH
021514 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 Dooms. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Are you really, truly a believer? Then do all you can. Realize all your strength to do all you can comes directly from the Lord Jesus. Listen to Philippians 4.13, the King James Version. I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me. Yes, God gives you the strength to do anything you need to do for His glory. You can do it. So, the first thing you do is to pray. God make me usable and use me. Secondly, you read His Word. You believe His Word. You share His Word with other believers. Together, you pray. In this fellowship factor, you reach out to determine who needs to know about Jesus, and you go with the gospel. There is someone you can reach if you will. Again, first you pray. Then you read God's Word. Then you put God's Word into effect, and then you go with the gospel. Let people know what they have to do is to admit they have sinned. To believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, to confess Him publicly. Share with them God's plan of salvation. We call it God's ABCs. Hundreds and hundreds of them have been sent to listeners just like you. And they are sharing with friends wherever they go. Call 8128672418 and ask for God's ABCs. We'll send them right to you. Listen to 2 Timothy 2.15. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God, a worker who does not need to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. The New King James Version is very explicit in telling us what to do and how to do it. So be a diligent worker. Study, apply, and share the Word of God. You go first to the Lord in prayer. God, show me the truth in your Word. Secondly, you read the Word of God, and you put it in your heart. And then you get another believer to pray with you and to look in God's Word together. And then as workers, you go with the Gospel. You share Jesus with people who need to know Him. You let them know that the Bible says all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. Share John 3 16, and then tell them to confess with their mouth the Lord Jesus, believing in their heart that God has raised Him from the dead. God's ABCs are available to you to share with people, and we have them for you. All you have to do to get yours is to call or write. The number, area code 812, 867-2418. That's 812-867-2418. Become a Christian communicator today. Pray with someone and then go with the Gospel to those who need Jesus. Did you know that God gives specific instructions for what we are to do for His glory? Listen to Colossians 3 verses 12 and 13 of King James. Therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humility, meekness, long suffering, bearing with one another and forgiving one another. If anyone has a complaint against another, even as Christ forgive you, so you also must do. That's imperative, must do, no excuses, no holding back. Forgive anybody who has offended you, or anybody who has upset you. Don't forgive them, and then have compassion and share with them the glorious Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Read God's Word, pray diligently, find a prayer partner, and together pray for the person that you need to forgive, and if that person is not a believer, go to them with the truth. Take the Gospel and share God's love with people who need Jesus. God can make you usable, and He will use you if you are willing. Take God's ABCs in printed form. They are available free to you by calling and ordering yours now. 812-867-2418. That's 867-2418. Just let us know how many you can prayerfully distribute to people who need Jesus. God's most important instruction is love. Colossians 3.14, the King James Version. But above all these things, put on love, which is the bond of perfection. Remember we are called as one body with different gifts, so be thankful. Listen to Colossians 3.15, and let the peace of God rule in your hearts to which also you were called in one body and be thankful. Are you thankful for what God has done for you, for Jesus being born of a virgin, living perfectly, then dying because you are a sinner, I am a sinner, to be buried and rising again and giving us the gift of God eternal life? Wow, what a wonderful thing it is to know the truth. But are you telling the truth to people? Are you sharing with others? Do you have a prayer partner? Are you praying together for people who need the Lord? Are you going with the Gospel? I hope you are. I hope you will put God's Word in your heart. Memorize his scriptures. Share God's ABCs. We would really like to have you to be one of the Christian communicators. Several listeners have ordered God's ABCs, and we want to have you. Give them to the people you can. Call 812-867-2418. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Colossians 3-16, Nooking James. When you apply God's Word in everything you do, fantastic things transpire. God will make you usable and use you if you will do it according to what He has instructed you to do. So read God's Word, especially Colossians chapter 3, and see how God can do something for you and with you. There are people who need the Lord and you can be the one with a song in your heart to go and share the plan of salvation with folk who need Jesus. Pray without our believers, and then reading the Word of God, go with the Word of God and share God's ABCs. Tell people to admit they have sinned, to believe uncrashed, to confess Him publicly. Memorize Romans 3-23, Romans 6-23, John 3-16, Romans 10-9 and 10. We have those in printed form for you. We call them God's ABCs and we want you to know that you can take them and give them to people. I just got off the phone with somebody calling asking for 50 copies to leave wherever they go with people who need Jesus. We would like to send some to you. Call Erykod 812-867-2418 and tell us how many you can use. Do all you can for Him. Whatever you do, do it all for Jesus and thank God as you do it. And whatever you do in Word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Colossians 3-17, New King James Version. Remember, whatever you do in Word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through Him. Read God's Word, pray. Thank the Lord. Pray without our believers, and then take the Gospel to people who are not yet headed for Heaven, but who could be if you would tell them how. God's Word is quick and powerful and sharper than a two-edged sword. We have it in print and form for you. We hope you will join an army of people who are communicating Christianity wherever they go, sharing God's wonderful plan of salvation, and you can too, if you will. God holds you responsible, as I have said before, not just for what you do or do not do, but for what you could do if you would do what you should do. So what should you do? Share Jesus, share the Gospel, share God's good news. Coloss 8-1-2-867-2418. We will send you as many copies of God's ABCs as you will prayerfully and carefully distribute to those who need Him. That's 8-1-2-867-2418. Are you doing all you can for God's glory? Are you sharing your faith? Are you reading God's Word? Are you praying diligently? Do you have a prayer partner? Are you going with the Gospel? Are you taking God's ABCs, the plan of salvation, and sharing them with people who need Jesus? Listen to James 4-17, New King James Version. Therefore, to Him who knows to do good and does not do it, to Him it is sin. That's strong, but it's true. When God tells you to do something and you don't do it, you are sinning. And you need to know that God can use you to tell somebody how to get to Heaven. If you don't, who's going to? God holds you responsible. Will you be the kind of believer that is a faith-sharer, a communicator of Christianity? Will you take God's good news to someone today and tell Him or her how she or he can become a member of God's forever family? We have God's ABCs to put into your hands to give to folk who need the Lord. Just call us 812-867-2418. That's 867-2418. Let us know how many you will use and join this group of folk who are sharing Jesus. 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 and Harmony Road, mid-way 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. Do all you can to share the Gospel. Listen to 2 Timothy 4, 2 through 5 New King James. Preach the Word. Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort with all long suffering and teaching. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine. But according to their own desires because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers. And they will turn their ears away from the truth and be turned aside to fables. But you be watchful in all things. Indoor afflictions. Do the work of an evangelist. Fulfill your ministry. That's what Triple T is all about. That's what our ministry is. That's why we do what we do. That's why we've been doing it for 48 years and counting. I want you to know that God wants you to be a Christian communicator. Listen to this again. But you be watchful in all things. In other words, look around you and see what's going on in your world. Don't put your head in the sand, but know what God is doing and what people are doing against him and for him. Indoor affliction. There are going to be problems. There are going to be difficulties. Physical frailties are going to come to folk. People are going to die. People are going to be sick. People are going to be hurt. People are going to be harmed. People are going to be going through mental agony and anxieties. People are going to be messed up socially. They are going to be doing the wrong thing with the wrong people at the wrong place at the wrong time. But in the middle of it all, God is greater. If you are a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Bible says greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world. So we watchful in all things, endure afflictions, and then do the work of an evangelist. What does that mean? That means that you first of all know God's Word. You know the plan of salvation. We have God's ABCs that we would like to put into your hands. A. Admit you have sinned. For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. The wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life through Christ Jesus our Lord. B. Believe on Christ. For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life. C. Confess Christ publicly, 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. For if the heart one believes to righteousness, and with the mouth, confession is made to salvation. It is so thrilling to be able to share the Gospel Saturday by Saturday here at Triple T. Christian News Ministries. Tonight's theme is "Reaching for the Stars." Just a couple of weeks ago, when we had our 48th birthday party with pizza, we shared the Gospel effectively. We showed a video from Billy Graham's "My Hope America." And it was called "Lose to Gain," the story of three people whose lives were totally turned around with an encounter with Jesus Christ. And when we presented the Gospel and invited people to admit that they had sent to believe in the Lord Jesus, to confess Him publicly, three young ladies and three young men, three from Illinois, three from Indiana, responded to the invitation to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. Everybody, you and me, have responsibilities. We are responsible to work, so don't grow weary in doing good. 2 Thessalonians 3, verses 10 through 13, New King James Version says, "For even when we were with you, we commanded you this, if anyone will not work, neither shall he eat." For we hear that there are some who walk among you in disorderly manner, not working at all, but are busy bodies. Now those who are such, we command and exhort through our Lord Jesus Christ that they work in quietness and eat their own bread. But as for you, brethren, do not grow weary in doing good. It's so easy to get discouraged. It's so easy to say, "Oh, I just can't keep doing this. Oh, I just can't." And never say, "Can't." Say, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and God will make you usable, and he will use you in a very special way to make an impact on your world." We are a part of several ministries. We have a coalition called Tiger Team Impact, Triple T. Christian Youth Ministries, Teen Missions International, Motorcycle Sunday School Mission, AIDS Arfins and Street Children. And one of the things that we do is to work together, and we are thrilled about what God has done and is doing. Triple T. Christian Youth Ministries is now the sponsor of 13 Motorcycle Sunday Schools in Africa and in Asia. And we are seeing an average of 100 to 200 kids in every one of those Sunday schools attend every week. It's far larger than the ministry here, because when you add all those together, if you just have 100, and there are 13 Sunday schools, that is 1,300 kids every week. And if we double it, and some of those we have even more than 200, then that would be, as you can see, 2,600 every week. It's probably some place in between that. It's probably close to 2,000 that we are reaching week by week by week in those places, and we are about to embark on some other Sunday schools in other places around the world. It's so delightful to work with Teen Missions International and to see what God has done and is doing and wants to do, because as a result of cooperating together, we are going to be doing some things. Right now we are in Cameroon, Indonesia, Malawi, Madagascar, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, Zimbabwe, and we are about to go to some other places as God opens the doors and provides the people. We call them facilitators. They are graduates of BMW, not a car. BMW is Bible Missionary Work Training Centers, and they are happening in these places, and more are coming together as soon as God provides the finances and the people. One is on the drawing board now for Myanmar. The first overseas boot camp was held two years ago with a full-time national staff member in place, ready now to purchase property and begin a BMW school there in that country of Myanmar. There is a staff member from Indonesia who has been in language school for a year, now ready to build a BMW and get the ministry off the ground, be constructing several units, and we are thrilled about the work that God has done and is doing. And then Tanzania. Teen Missions teams have been working on the buildings of the Tanzanian property for the last several years. The plan is to send North American teams out this summer, the construction work on the buildings, and then a national team will finish the work in December. After the next national boot camp, Teen Missions also plans to begin the recruitment of students and open the BMW in Tanzania. It will be such a blessing to be a light for Jesus in each of these new countries, and God has opened doors here in the tri-state. Listen carefully. This is where we are now, and this is where we are hoping to go very, very soon. Pastors and youth workers with Bible-believing church youth groups and Sunday schools are being contacted about restart. We're inviting them to come to Triple T on Saturday, March the 1st. It will begin at 3 o'clock in the afternoon with some training sessions, with some inspirational time, with some information, and then we will have a dinner for everybody. And this will be teenagers, preteens, and pastors, youth leaders, and folk who want to know more about what we're doing, and we have a thing called Restart. To get people back involved in Sunday school and youth groups, it will go March 9 through May the 4th for 9 Sundays, local church youth groups or Sunday schools. And again, it will be going all the way through Easter and two weeks following. Then, fair share preparations begin in May and June, and in July and August, we'll be going out to as many county fairs and street festivals as possible. We're praying for qualified drivers and vehicles that are needed to transport travel and tigers in Teen Missions International BMW students. 15 are coming along with Teen Missions preteen team members from across America to multiple county fairs and street festivals. And then, Jesus Christ Change in World Summit 25 is to be Saturday, July 12 at Triple T. Christian Ministries and local congregations partnering in youth evangelism are being invited to be part of Triple T's culture of cooperation. It's really great to be able to work with people who believe the Bible and who know it is the inflatable, the changeless, the inspired Word of God. God's Word does not return void, and so we are going with the gospel every place we can through every door God opens. We need people. We need you to pray about being one of the tiger teammates to invest your time, or your tenant, or your treasure, or any one, two, or all three. Do you remember the Old Testament tabernacle replica that was on the campus of Triple T. Christian Youth Ministries from May 13, 2013, all the way through October 17? Maybe you were one of those over 1,100 people that came through the tabernacle. It was such a delightful thing. The ministry of the life-sized tabernacle has changed lives and opened the eyes of the wonderful sacrifice made by our great high priest, Jesus. There is nothing like this ministry in all of Africa. The Lord willing, Triple T plans to build a tabernacle along with teen missions and put it on display as a teaching and evangelistic tool in sub-Saharan Africa. Things are going to be happening this summer, and things are going to transpire, but we need help. Some people can actually go over there and volunteer to go to South Africa to the base there and be part of this ministry. They specifically need people with experience in carpentry, sewing, and metalwork. There are wonderful things happening. The base there in South Africa has dorms and inside plumbing available, and that's unusual for a mission station in the middle of nowhere. And so pray about that particular ministry. Bob Bland, who is the founder, director of Teen Missions International, is hoping and trusting to be able to go this summer to Africa. He plans to leave in July. The Lord willing and health permitting, Bob plans to go to South Africa, Cameroon, Malawi, and Madagascar to work on the African Awakening setup and securing the necessary supplies, a big top tint, tabernacle materials, and a truck and trailer for the tabernacle. Just a few of the things he will try to procure. He will also coordinate the African Awakening with Teen Missions International Coordinators from several bases. And while in South Africa, he hopes to set up a very special program to help young ladies get out of prostitution by training them in a trade that they can use to support themselves. It's wonderful to see what God has done and is doing. Again in the Sunday schools, scattered across Africa and now Asia. There are now over 150 Sunday schools. This year, that is 2013, 24 more Sunday schools were started in Madagascar, 12 in Barnio, 6 in Cambodia, and 8 more in Malawi. It's wonderful to see what God has done with this magnificent ministry, with this mission that is reaching so many people with God's glorious gospel. The thing that is most exciting to me are the people that are being reached, what God has done and is doing. It is unbelievable the people that are coming. The average weekly attendance in the 153 Sunday schools that are now in operation in the countries of Cameroon, Indonesia, Malawi, Madagascar, Uganda, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe are averaging collectively 7,650 every single week. There's not a church in the tri-state that could possibly have that many attending that we know anything about on a weekly basis. Now of course, they're scattered all over these different places, but the wonderful thing is it is increasing and the goal is by 2020 to have a thousand Sunday schools across the world. God's blessing and wonderful things are happening. The Triple T. Christian Youth Ministries is working with local church Sunday schools that are Bible believing and their youth groups. And we are putting together a very special happening, as I said, on March the 1st, 3 o'clock in the afternoon through the rally that evening, with dinner provided, all kinds of things. And it's going to be a special night, it's a comedy night at Triple T, and we're going to have for everybody who comes to the rally that night, free banana splits. It's going to be a night to remember, and we would like for you to help us get the word out to Bible believing pastors and youth leaders, Sunday school teachers to come and be our guests that day. It's by reservation only, all you have to do to let us know how many are coming is to give us a call. Area code 812-867-2418. That's 812-867-2418 or send us an email. We'd be delighted to have you to be with us for that very, very special time. Meanwhile, pray about becoming a Tiger teammate, investing your time, your talent, and your treasure. Christ through you can change the world. Every Saturday at 7.27pm, 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.
