1 00:00:05,120 --> 00:00:07,960 S1: Welcome to our Wednesday edition of Chris Fabry Live and 2 00:00:07,960 --> 00:00:10,360 S1: a topic and guest I know you're going to enjoy. 3 00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,080 S1: Ryan and Tricia and Lisa and Josh are helping out 4 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:15,760 S1: at the radio backyard fence. When I heard we were 5 00:00:15,760 --> 00:00:17,799 S1: going to be able to take several programs in the 6 00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:21,400 S1: month of July and celebrate 100 years of God's faithfulness 7 00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:25,520 S1: to Moody Radio, I got excited about all the different 8 00:00:25,520 --> 00:00:28,880 S1: voices I could present from the past the music, the dramas, 9 00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:32,600 S1: the broad shoulders we stand on today because they were 10 00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:36,440 S1: faithful men and women who sang songs prayerfully, who taught 11 00:00:36,440 --> 00:00:40,080 S1: the word and reached the world effectively. But at the 12 00:00:40,080 --> 00:00:42,159 S1: very top of the list, the first person I knew 13 00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:44,240 S1: we had to talk with, and I think the first 14 00:00:44,240 --> 00:00:47,599 S1: person we scheduled this month is our guest today, and 15 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,760 S1: we're going to talk about the power of the gospel. 16 00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:54,400 S1: It is God's dynamite. The gospel doesn't just provide outward change. 17 00:00:54,440 --> 00:00:59,080 S1: A little soul makeover, but transformation. That's what God wants 18 00:00:59,080 --> 00:01:01,030 S1: to do for you and me. And I think that's 19 00:01:01,030 --> 00:01:05,350 S1: going to come through loudly and clearly in our discussion. 20 00:01:05,670 --> 00:01:08,390 S1: Let me take you back. A year ago, when today's 21 00:01:08,390 --> 00:01:11,350 S1: guest sat down at the table with some other guests 22 00:01:11,350 --> 00:01:14,509 S1: and told us how he came up with the phrase 23 00:01:14,510 --> 00:01:16,270 S1: rescue radio. 24 00:01:16,870 --> 00:01:20,150 S2: Start with the word rescue. The Jesus mission statement. The 25 00:01:20,150 --> 00:01:22,069 S2: Son of Man came to seek and to save that 26 00:01:22,069 --> 00:01:26,430 S2: which was lost. Uh, the word saved is sozo in Greek. 27 00:01:26,430 --> 00:01:29,709 S2: And I had five semesters. And I do remember one word, 28 00:01:29,709 --> 00:01:32,830 S2: and it was. And that word is a life or 29 00:01:32,830 --> 00:01:36,350 S2: death word. It's not, uh, it's interesting when you. It 30 00:01:36,350 --> 00:01:39,230 S2: really could be translated. The Son of Man came to 31 00:01:39,270 --> 00:01:41,550 S2: look for and to rescue those who are in the 32 00:01:41,550 --> 00:01:44,630 S2: lost word is the same word used for shall not 33 00:01:44,630 --> 00:01:49,070 S2: perish in John 316. So it's. He says, the Son 34 00:01:49,070 --> 00:01:51,390 S2: of Man came to look for and to rescue those 35 00:01:51,390 --> 00:01:54,150 S2: who are dying. This is life or death. This is 36 00:01:54,150 --> 00:01:57,510 S2: the World Trade Center, and rescuers are flooding in there. 37 00:01:57,550 --> 00:02:00,550 S2: This is firefighters going into a burning building. If they 38 00:02:00,550 --> 00:02:03,030 S2: go in, someone can live. They don't go in. Someone 39 00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:06,270 S2: will die. Same with the gospel. It is that urgent. 40 00:02:06,310 --> 00:02:11,070 S2: This isn't just witnessing. This isn't just evangelism. This is rescue. 41 00:02:11,070 --> 00:02:15,710 S2: So we start with that word. Now what's rescue radio? Well, 42 00:02:15,950 --> 00:02:19,350 S2: the way that that Jesus rescued people was he did 43 00:02:19,350 --> 00:02:22,230 S2: what firefighters do. He went into the burning building. This 44 00:02:22,230 --> 00:02:24,750 S2: is the burning building. We are here right now. I 45 00:02:24,750 --> 00:02:26,910 S2: don't know, you don't have to leave right now. We're okay. 46 00:02:27,310 --> 00:02:30,830 S2: I don't mean the hotel. Um, and but we. This 47 00:02:30,830 --> 00:02:33,750 S2: planet is is the burning building. The firefighter has to 48 00:02:33,790 --> 00:02:36,510 S2: go in. You have to the the lifeguard has to 49 00:02:36,510 --> 00:02:41,110 S2: go into the storm. Stormy water. So, uh, rescue radio 50 00:02:41,150 --> 00:02:44,350 S2: means rescue is simply that you go where the lost 51 00:02:44,350 --> 00:02:46,510 S2: person is and you've got to put the gospel where 52 00:02:46,510 --> 00:02:49,590 S2: they are. We have a kind of coming come into 53 00:02:49,630 --> 00:02:51,870 S2: our come. We have meetings. You can come if you 54 00:02:51,910 --> 00:02:54,870 S2: would like to come. We would. We would rescue you. What? 55 00:02:55,150 --> 00:02:58,670 S2: There were life saving stations along the Atlantic coast. Years ago, 56 00:02:58,710 --> 00:03:03,669 S2: the life saving service. And never did they rescue anybody 57 00:03:03,669 --> 00:03:06,989 S2: at the life saving station. In every situation. They went 58 00:03:06,990 --> 00:03:09,350 S2: out into the water and they had to go get them. 59 00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:11,510 S2: That's why Jesus is at the party and at the 60 00:03:11,550 --> 00:03:14,230 S2: beach and and having the dinner and so on and 61 00:03:14,230 --> 00:03:16,910 S2: so forth. So how do we put the gospel where 62 00:03:16,910 --> 00:03:21,190 S2: people are? We can't wait for them to come to us. Well, 63 00:03:21,350 --> 00:03:24,190 S2: one thing is they're on the radio. They're on their phone. 64 00:03:24,750 --> 00:03:27,910 S2: So we show we got to show up there with 65 00:03:27,910 --> 00:03:30,590 S2: the only message. Now there are lots of messages and 66 00:03:30,590 --> 00:03:33,269 S2: there are lots of causes asking for our time right 67 00:03:33,270 --> 00:03:36,550 S2: now all over social media. There's only one cause on 68 00:03:36,550 --> 00:03:40,110 S2: this planet that can change an eternity. Only one. Only 69 00:03:40,110 --> 00:03:43,070 S2: one message on this planet that can change an eternity. 70 00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:45,470 S2: It is the good news about what Jesus did on 71 00:03:45,470 --> 00:03:47,630 S2: the cross and an empty tomb and can do for you. 72 00:03:47,870 --> 00:03:51,589 S2: So Rescue Radio is putting together this life or death 73 00:03:51,590 --> 00:03:54,190 S2: mission of Jesus and saying, we got to put the 74 00:03:54,190 --> 00:03:58,540 S2: good news in that person's car, in that person's kitchen, 75 00:03:58,740 --> 00:04:02,140 S2: in that person's office, in that person's phone, and that's 76 00:04:02,140 --> 00:04:03,060 S2: rescue radio. 77 00:04:03,420 --> 00:04:07,820 S1: And that is the heart of Moody Radio for 100 years. 78 00:04:07,820 --> 00:04:10,460 S1: And that is the voice of Ron Hutchcraft, who has 79 00:04:10,460 --> 00:04:13,020 S1: been in and around Moody Radio since his youth for 80 00:04:13,020 --> 00:04:16,700 S1: Christ Days in Chicago in the 1960s. It has been 81 00:04:16,700 --> 00:04:20,419 S1: a busy month for you, Ron. The Warrior Leadership Summit. 82 00:04:20,420 --> 00:04:24,820 S1: I know you're in Maine today in a parking lot 83 00:04:24,820 --> 00:04:28,220 S1: somewhere in Maine. In Bangor, Maine. Welcome back friend. How 84 00:04:28,220 --> 00:04:28,779 S1: are you? 85 00:04:29,540 --> 00:04:31,740 S3: You know what? I'm doing great. I do have two 86 00:04:31,740 --> 00:04:34,659 S3: issues I need to deal with. Number one, you played that. 87 00:04:34,660 --> 00:04:36,460 S3: Now that's everything I know. So what are we going 88 00:04:36,460 --> 00:04:40,820 S3: to do the rest of the hour? And, and and secondly, 89 00:04:41,020 --> 00:04:43,460 S3: why are you calling me about a hundred year thing? 90 00:04:44,339 --> 00:04:45,580 S3: You know, I'm insulted. 91 00:04:46,620 --> 00:04:49,620 S1: Because you're closer than I am, but not to too 92 00:04:49,660 --> 00:04:50,620 S1: much closer. Yeah. 93 00:04:51,140 --> 00:04:51,700 S3: Okay. 94 00:04:52,020 --> 00:04:52,460 S1: Well. 95 00:04:52,900 --> 00:04:55,900 S3: Just, you know, I'm traveling with a wonderful team of 96 00:04:55,900 --> 00:04:59,620 S3: Native Americans. They represent 25 different tribes from all over 97 00:04:59,620 --> 00:05:03,700 S3: the US and Canada, and 40 of them. They have 98 00:05:03,860 --> 00:05:07,580 S3: come from the brink of despair and brokenness, and now 99 00:05:07,620 --> 00:05:11,940 S3: are bold and powerful witnesses to the the life changing, 100 00:05:11,940 --> 00:05:15,940 S3: life saving power of Jesus Christ and standing out on 101 00:05:15,940 --> 00:05:21,060 S3: reservation basketball courts. And we, I across across a whole 102 00:05:21,060 --> 00:05:24,060 S3: part of the country. Now we're traveling and I am 103 00:05:24,060 --> 00:05:28,300 S3: blessed to be with 40 miracles from Native America. 104 00:05:28,460 --> 00:05:31,420 S1: And where is it that in Maine that you're going. 105 00:05:31,460 --> 00:05:33,540 S1: What are you what are you traveling from and why? 106 00:05:33,580 --> 00:05:36,659 S3: They're not legal? I can't legal, honestly, I can't tell 107 00:05:36,660 --> 00:05:39,740 S3: you that because there are some security issues that go 108 00:05:39,779 --> 00:05:42,780 S3: with this. And so we don't name places that we 109 00:05:42,820 --> 00:05:46,580 S3: are going. So but we are going, we will be, uh, 110 00:05:46,620 --> 00:05:50,500 S3: we're between states right now and we're passing through Maine, 111 00:05:50,540 --> 00:05:52,620 S3: but we're, we're going to northeast. 112 00:05:52,970 --> 00:05:58,570 S1: Reservation's got it. Okay. And this is where the gospel 113 00:05:58,570 --> 00:06:04,890 S1: first was was proclaimed. The first Native Americans came to Jesus, right? 114 00:06:05,650 --> 00:06:09,610 S3: Yeah, it really is. This is actually where the first 115 00:06:09,650 --> 00:06:13,770 S3: Native Americans had ever heard the gospel. After centuries of 116 00:06:13,770 --> 00:06:16,490 S3: none of them hearing it. Um, this part of the 117 00:06:16,490 --> 00:06:21,410 S3: country is where the gospel landed and where somewhere the 118 00:06:21,410 --> 00:06:24,890 S3: first Native American who ever prayed to receive Christ. Uh, 119 00:06:24,890 --> 00:06:27,690 S3: did it in this part of the country. So now, 120 00:06:27,690 --> 00:06:32,290 S3: to think that, what, uh, some 400 years later, uh, 121 00:06:32,290 --> 00:06:35,330 S3: you have a team of Native Americans coming from places 122 00:06:35,330 --> 00:06:38,890 S3: that even the Native Americans would have never heard of then, 123 00:06:38,930 --> 00:06:41,770 S3: and who would have heard of Arizona and New Mexico, 124 00:06:41,810 --> 00:06:45,370 S3: you know, and, and everything out West and coming from 125 00:06:45,370 --> 00:06:49,130 S3: all these tribes back to reach, uh, and in many 126 00:06:49,130 --> 00:06:51,799 S3: of these places, the light of the gospel that that 127 00:06:51,800 --> 00:06:58,480 S3: was lit, uh, 400 years ago has really, really flickered and, uh, 128 00:06:58,520 --> 00:07:01,880 S3: is even in jeopardy in many of these places. And 129 00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,400 S3: these guys, I believe are reigniting the flame. 130 00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:08,800 S1: I find it really interesting, your trajectory, Ron, because I 131 00:07:08,800 --> 00:07:12,640 S1: looked back through some of the audio that we have. 132 00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:16,200 S1: As a matter of fact, it says 1964. I want 133 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,440 S1: listeners to hear this is Ron Hutchcraft in the early 60s. 134 00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:23,800 S2: On Friday night, February 21st, we take our quizzing back 135 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:25,880 S2: down to the South Side. And there are a number 136 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,280 S2: of teams from South Side churches and quiz teams will 137 00:07:28,280 --> 00:07:30,440 S2: be quizzing against one another. And this is going to 138 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:33,560 S2: be at 7:00 at the Calvary Covenant Church at 81st 139 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,720 S2: and Maplewood, and also coming up on February 28th, a 140 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,680 S2: day for all the quizzers in the city, north and 141 00:07:39,680 --> 00:07:42,440 S2: South to remember is our special quiz banquet with the 142 00:07:42,440 --> 00:07:45,560 S2: top speaker and good food and some very unusual special 143 00:07:45,560 --> 00:07:49,480 S2: features for the greatest teenagers in Chicago. YFC Quizzers Don. 144 00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:54,040 S1: Okay. Your voice doesn't sound that much different, but were 145 00:07:54,040 --> 00:07:55,640 S1: you in high school at that point? 146 00:07:55,680 --> 00:07:59,040 S3: I'm pretty. I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty sure it was 147 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:03,240 S3: a Muppet. Sounded like to me. Uh, but I forget 148 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:06,440 S3: which one. No, I was only I was only five 149 00:08:06,480 --> 00:08:09,720 S3: years old at that time, and my voice changed early. 150 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:14,320 S3: I was prematurely adolescent. Um, no, I was actually I 151 00:08:14,320 --> 00:08:15,360 S3: was a student at Moody. 152 00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:21,600 S1: Interesting. Interesting. And how that all comes together then with the, 153 00:08:21,640 --> 00:08:24,720 S1: you know, when you did, uh, Saturday Night Alive and 154 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,880 S1: we'll talk some about that throughout the hour. And really. 155 00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:29,800 S3: You have a stake in that, Sir Donald? 156 00:08:29,840 --> 00:08:34,720 S1: I do. And then and then the trajectory toward Native 157 00:08:34,720 --> 00:08:38,400 S1: American ministry. Saturday Night Live was a big part of 158 00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:41,200 S1: that movement for your ministry, right? 159 00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,080 S3: It was. And I'll tell you, um, when God broke 160 00:08:45,080 --> 00:08:48,360 S3: my heart for of course, I'd been in cross-cultural youth 161 00:08:48,400 --> 00:08:50,400 S3: ministry my whole life. You know, I'm a South side 162 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:54,120 S3: of Chicago, boy. Uh, and, uh, so whether it was 163 00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,160 S3: South side of Chicago, the New York area, whether it 164 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:01,880 S3: was Harlem Kids or Paterson, new Jersey, or Chinatown, or 165 00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,640 S3: rich white kids or poor white kids. I mean, I 166 00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:06,560 S3: had worked with so many kinds of young people in 167 00:09:06,559 --> 00:09:10,120 S3: my life, always cross-culturally, but I never knew about the 168 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:13,000 S3: most broken kids in America until I went to the 169 00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:16,360 S3: reservation to speak. And the reason I went to speak 170 00:09:16,400 --> 00:09:20,679 S3: is because Moody had a radio station on the Navajo reservation. 171 00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:25,040 S3: They invited me to go there. So see the connection and, uh, 172 00:09:25,040 --> 00:09:27,560 S3: and they, they wanted me to come out there. And 173 00:09:27,559 --> 00:09:30,360 S3: that week, God broke my heart and gave me a. 174 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,959 S3: At the same time, a plan that was so simple, 175 00:09:32,960 --> 00:09:35,319 S3: but no one was doing it. And that is that 176 00:09:35,320 --> 00:09:38,120 S3: Native American young people had to reach Native American young 177 00:09:38,120 --> 00:09:42,160 S3: people because, uh, the missionaries kept saying, nothing works with 178 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,480 S3: the young people. We can't get the young people. And 179 00:09:45,800 --> 00:09:49,470 S3: but yet we've. Over the years I've been around 130 180 00:09:49,510 --> 00:09:53,590 S3: reservations since then, and we've seen thousands of Native Americans 181 00:09:53,590 --> 00:09:58,229 S3: come to Christ. And it's just a it's almost probably 182 00:09:58,470 --> 00:10:01,870 S3: a chapter of missions history, but I'm not the story. 183 00:10:01,870 --> 00:10:04,630 S3: I'm the little white guy on the bus praying for 184 00:10:04,630 --> 00:10:09,390 S3: a team of totally of Native Americans proclaiming the Savior. 185 00:10:09,390 --> 00:10:13,469 S3: And by the way, since Native Americans believe that Jesus 186 00:10:13,510 --> 00:10:16,470 S3: is the white man's God, almost no matter what tribe 187 00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:19,350 S3: you go to, that's the word on the street is 188 00:10:19,390 --> 00:10:23,030 S3: Jesus is the white man's God. And here comes a 189 00:10:23,030 --> 00:10:27,070 S3: team of Native Americans from all these tribes saying, by 190 00:10:27,070 --> 00:10:30,270 S3: the way, Jesus happened to be a brown skinned man. 191 00:10:30,590 --> 00:10:34,309 S3: He was a Mediterranean Jew, not many blond haired, blue eyed, 192 00:10:34,590 --> 00:10:38,150 S3: and he was a Mediterranean Jew from a tribe on land, 193 00:10:38,190 --> 00:10:41,590 S3: lived on land that others had occupied, came from a 194 00:10:41,590 --> 00:10:45,270 S3: place people said nothing good came from. Knew what poverty was, 195 00:10:45,309 --> 00:10:50,150 S3: knew what at homelessness, was suffered severe injustice and died 196 00:10:50,150 --> 00:10:53,870 S3: a violent death. I just described the reservation and they 197 00:10:53,870 --> 00:10:57,150 S3: talk about how this Savior dying on a cross was 198 00:10:57,150 --> 00:11:00,230 S3: the difference between hope and despair and life and death 199 00:11:00,230 --> 00:11:00,750 S3: for them. 200 00:11:01,710 --> 00:11:04,190 S1: As you listen to Ron and me talk today, and 201 00:11:04,190 --> 00:11:06,670 S1: I'm going to play some more clips from the history 202 00:11:06,670 --> 00:11:10,190 S1: of Moody Radio, I have a question for you. Has 203 00:11:10,190 --> 00:11:14,030 S1: Moody Radio been a rescue for you or for someone 204 00:11:14,030 --> 00:11:20,190 S1: you love? If so, call us at (877) 548-3675. Tell me 205 00:11:20,190 --> 00:11:22,790 S1: your rescue story. I have a lot of clips that 206 00:11:22,790 --> 00:11:25,310 S1: I want to play, but somebody today might need to 207 00:11:25,350 --> 00:11:30,150 S1: hear your rescue story because it might be right where 208 00:11:30,150 --> 00:11:39,990 S1: they are. (877) 548-3675. More rescue radio. Straight ahead on Moody Radio. 209 00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:51,579 S4: This was a wonder that you would talk into an 210 00:11:51,580 --> 00:11:56,140 S4: instrument and your voice could be heard. Other places. One 211 00:11:56,140 --> 00:11:58,939 S4: person in my town when I was a young person 212 00:11:58,940 --> 00:12:03,020 S4: had a crystal set. And so we just stand around 213 00:12:03,020 --> 00:12:06,939 S4: in their room hoping and hoping that we could get 214 00:12:06,940 --> 00:12:09,699 S4: that thing to our ear because only one could listen 215 00:12:09,700 --> 00:12:12,500 S4: at a time. See? Just earphones. And then finally, they'd 216 00:12:12,500 --> 00:12:15,700 S4: let us listen for a minute from Pittsburgh. You know, 217 00:12:15,740 --> 00:12:18,460 S4: one of the first stations on the air and, oh, 218 00:12:18,500 --> 00:12:22,339 S4: we tell everybody I heard Pittsburgh on the air and 219 00:12:22,340 --> 00:12:24,699 S4: they wouldn't believe. Oh, you did not. The kids would say, 220 00:12:24,700 --> 00:12:27,060 S4: at school I did. I was over to Mccue's house, 221 00:12:27,059 --> 00:12:29,180 S4: our neighbor's house. And I heard Pittsburgh. 222 00:12:29,460 --> 00:12:33,220 S1: Probably KDKA, because that was one of the first stations. 223 00:12:33,420 --> 00:12:37,300 S1: That's Aunt Teresa. Ron Hutchcraft is with us. Ron, you. 224 00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:40,339 S1: You knew Aunt Teresa. Tell me your story. 225 00:12:40,940 --> 00:12:44,890 S3: Well, we weren't close personal friends, but I think I 226 00:12:44,890 --> 00:12:47,450 S3: was a kid on her show at one point. And 227 00:12:47,450 --> 00:12:49,530 S3: by the way, I should make it clear I was 228 00:12:49,530 --> 00:12:53,809 S3: not Mother Teresa's sister. Um, but she was a wonderful 229 00:12:53,850 --> 00:12:58,770 S3: host of, uh, for children. And my, um, uh, our 230 00:12:58,770 --> 00:13:01,250 S3: family was, did not know anything about Jesus when I 231 00:13:01,250 --> 00:13:05,010 S3: was first growing up, my baby brother died. My dad's 232 00:13:05,010 --> 00:13:08,050 S3: heart was broken. He dropped me off at church while 233 00:13:08,050 --> 00:13:11,610 S3: he waited in the car. Uh, and, uh, because he 234 00:13:11,610 --> 00:13:14,570 S3: had one son left, I came to Jesus. And when 235 00:13:14,570 --> 00:13:18,890 S3: they finally did, my parents, they really, um, had a, 236 00:13:18,890 --> 00:13:22,890 S3: a desire to grow quickly. So moody radio was on 237 00:13:22,890 --> 00:13:25,690 S3: a lot, uh, in our house and I, and they 238 00:13:25,690 --> 00:13:28,210 S3: made sure I knew Aunt Teresa because that was the 239 00:13:28,210 --> 00:13:32,530 S3: children's program. And by the way, Moody Radio published my 240 00:13:32,530 --> 00:13:38,170 S3: first ever published writing way back then. Uh, it was 241 00:13:38,210 --> 00:13:43,530 S3: a coloring book. No. Um, I and Teresa had a 242 00:13:44,370 --> 00:13:50,010 S3: contest for children's short stories. And if you got if 243 00:13:50,050 --> 00:13:53,690 S3: you won, you won whatever you want. You got to 244 00:13:53,690 --> 00:13:56,850 S3: have your your story in the book. And, um, so 245 00:13:56,850 --> 00:13:59,490 S3: I did, I had one and I was ten years old. 246 00:13:59,730 --> 00:14:03,329 S3: Got a story in Aunt Teresa's book. Still have that book. 247 00:14:03,370 --> 00:14:07,730 S3: And it's not a story necessarily. We're going to republish, 248 00:14:07,890 --> 00:14:09,730 S3: but it was good enough to make it in that book. 249 00:14:09,730 --> 00:14:12,530 S3: So literally. And since then I've written a number of books. 250 00:14:12,530 --> 00:14:15,610 S3: But it's cool that the first thing I ever published 251 00:14:15,650 --> 00:14:18,930 S3: was through Aunt Teresa, through Moody Radio. A lot of 252 00:14:18,970 --> 00:14:21,010 S3: lot of links to Moody radio throughout my life. 253 00:14:21,050 --> 00:14:24,730 S1: Yes. Well, you told me that Karen Maines also was 254 00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:28,690 S1: in that group, right? Had had published the story. And 255 00:14:28,690 --> 00:14:31,850 S1: look at that. God was even calling you when you 256 00:14:31,850 --> 00:14:35,250 S1: were ten years old to do this kind of communication thing. 257 00:14:35,250 --> 00:14:36,050 S1: Isn't that great? 258 00:14:36,690 --> 00:14:39,290 S3: Well, she had us write a little testimony, and in 259 00:14:39,330 --> 00:14:42,760 S3: there you'll see a picture of chubby little Ronnie and 260 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,840 S3: he says, I want to travel all over the country 261 00:14:45,840 --> 00:14:48,720 S3: and tell people the Word of God. So apparently at 262 00:14:48,720 --> 00:14:51,000 S3: ten years old, I had some sense of what God 263 00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:52,040 S3: put me on earth for. 264 00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:55,000 S1: Okay. There's another. We did a program on Moody Radio 265 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,480 S1: as the launching pad, you know, for different people. But 266 00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:00,960 S1: today we're talking about the gospel, the power of the gospel. 267 00:15:00,960 --> 00:15:04,640 S1: And I found this from the late 30s, early 40s, 268 00:15:05,040 --> 00:15:08,480 S1: where they listed all of the different people that and 269 00:15:08,480 --> 00:15:13,000 S1: hours that they had broadcast a special 1941 Founder's Week 270 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:18,800 S1: broadcast from midnight to 730, had replies from 39 states, 271 00:15:18,840 --> 00:15:23,280 S1: Canadian provinces, and from South America. And at the end 272 00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:26,480 S1: of this report, it says the result in one woman's 273 00:15:26,480 --> 00:15:30,520 S1: life is this. It was last September on a Saturday night, 274 00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,960 S1: a steady conviction of how terrible my sins were grew 275 00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:38,600 S1: and grew until, while listening to the broadcast over WMBI, 276 00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,720 S1: I I took Jesus into my heart and now I 277 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:45,400 S1: am a different person. And that's what I wanted you 278 00:15:45,400 --> 00:15:48,480 S1: to talk about, Ron, from the early 1940s and the 279 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:55,000 S1: 1926 to today, 2026. The gospel is not just a 280 00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:59,000 S1: soul makeover, it is transformation. Talk about that. 281 00:16:00,280 --> 00:16:02,440 S3: It really is. Uh, you know, the first thing we 282 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,720 S3: have to help people understand, they every time they hear 283 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,240 S3: the name Jesus, they think of a religion. And we really. 284 00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,280 S3: Jesus did not come to start a religion. Jesus came 285 00:16:12,280 --> 00:16:15,920 S3: to be the rescuer from, uh, something that only he 286 00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,440 S3: could rescue us from. The only one who can forgive 287 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,160 S3: your sins is the one who died to pay for them. 288 00:16:21,360 --> 00:16:24,320 S3: There is nothing and no one else. No force on earth. 289 00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:27,520 S3: No religion could die for your sins. No religion can 290 00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:30,880 S3: offer you an escape from the death penalty for your sins. 291 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,280 S3: And God's own son, God and His son chose to 292 00:16:35,400 --> 00:16:38,790 S3: do that. Dying. I did the sinning. Jesus did the 293 00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:43,390 S3: dying to. It is transformative to know that you are 294 00:16:43,390 --> 00:16:47,390 S3: now right with God to now have the wall between 295 00:16:47,390 --> 00:16:51,070 S3: you and God down. Because on the other side of 296 00:16:51,110 --> 00:16:53,550 S3: that wall the Bible says, your sins have separated you 297 00:16:53,550 --> 00:16:56,190 S3: from your God. On the other side of that wall 298 00:16:56,310 --> 00:16:58,390 S3: is the God who is the only person who knows 299 00:16:58,390 --> 00:17:01,830 S3: why you're here. Every human being on that lifelong search. 300 00:17:01,870 --> 00:17:04,230 S3: Why am I here? Mark Twain said the two most 301 00:17:04,230 --> 00:17:07,389 S3: important days in a person's life. The day you're born 302 00:17:07,390 --> 00:17:09,869 S3: and the day you find out why. We all know 303 00:17:09,869 --> 00:17:12,629 S3: the first one. We celebrate it every year. Many of 304 00:17:12,630 --> 00:17:15,070 S3: us are still looking for the second one to find 305 00:17:15,070 --> 00:17:17,750 S3: out why. Well, the only one who knows is on 306 00:17:17,750 --> 00:17:20,150 S3: the other side of the sin wall. The only. And 307 00:17:20,150 --> 00:17:22,750 S3: we're looking for the every love we have in our life. 308 00:17:22,790 --> 00:17:26,189 S3: The greatest of human loves leaves us going, yeah, but 309 00:17:26,190 --> 00:17:29,070 S3: there's got to be more. There's still. It's just not. 310 00:17:29,310 --> 00:17:31,669 S3: It's just not filling the hole in my heart. The 311 00:17:31,670 --> 00:17:35,190 S3: Bible says, God set eternity in your heart. You have 312 00:17:35,190 --> 00:17:39,350 S3: to have something that lasts forever to satisfy your heart. Earth. 313 00:17:39,350 --> 00:17:42,510 S3: Don't get that. There's nothing here and no one here 314 00:17:42,510 --> 00:17:44,830 S3: who can fill that. So the love you're looking for. 315 00:17:44,869 --> 00:17:48,110 S3: The meaning you're looking for. And the answer to what 316 00:17:48,109 --> 00:17:52,190 S3: happens after I die. After the last heartbeat. Now what? 317 00:17:52,350 --> 00:17:54,950 S3: And the answer to that. If that wall is there 318 00:17:54,950 --> 00:17:58,830 S3: when you die, it's there forever. And to know that 319 00:17:58,869 --> 00:18:02,230 S3: wall is down. To know that you are forever secure. 320 00:18:02,590 --> 00:18:05,350 S3: To know now that you are living according to a 321 00:18:05,390 --> 00:18:08,790 S3: God ordained plan that was put together before there was 322 00:18:08,790 --> 00:18:12,470 S3: a you to know that the. The only love that 323 00:18:12,470 --> 00:18:16,030 S3: is unusable because there's only one love that will never 324 00:18:16,030 --> 00:18:20,470 S3: disappoint you, never divorce you, never die on you. Every 325 00:18:20,510 --> 00:18:24,510 S3: human love has its limitations except this one. Nothing in 326 00:18:24,510 --> 00:18:27,470 S3: all creation, the Bible says, will ever separate us from 327 00:18:27,470 --> 00:18:31,270 S3: God's love. But a dead man can't do anything for you, 328 00:18:31,550 --> 00:18:34,870 S3: no matter how wonderful he was. But Jesus, three days 329 00:18:34,990 --> 00:18:37,830 S3: after he died, walks out of his grave under his 330 00:18:37,830 --> 00:18:42,150 S3: own power. Now, whoever estimates these things says that there's 331 00:18:42,190 --> 00:18:45,310 S3: 100 billion people who've lived on this planet, 100 billion 332 00:18:45,350 --> 00:18:49,109 S3: of us. One out of 100 billion ever walked out 333 00:18:49,109 --> 00:18:51,750 S3: of his grave under his own power. All the rest 334 00:18:51,750 --> 00:18:57,110 S3: stay dead except for Jesus Christ. In so doing proved 335 00:18:57,390 --> 00:19:01,109 S3: that he has power. He could. He personally said, all 336 00:19:01,109 --> 00:19:04,150 S3: authority in heaven and earth is given to me. All authority, 337 00:19:04,150 --> 00:19:06,590 S3: whether it's heaven or earth. There is no other authority 338 00:19:06,590 --> 00:19:10,590 S3: but me. I have the ultimate authority to have him in. 339 00:19:10,590 --> 00:19:14,470 S3: Your life makes the changes you've never been able to 340 00:19:14,510 --> 00:19:17,670 S3: make possible. I know one man who was an atheist. 341 00:19:17,710 --> 00:19:19,790 S3: He said he looked out the window at his eight 342 00:19:19,830 --> 00:19:22,670 S3: year old daughter one day and he said, I am 343 00:19:22,670 --> 00:19:26,430 S3: not enough. I can't be what she needs. And that 344 00:19:26,430 --> 00:19:30,270 S3: put him on a path to find a relationship with God. 345 00:19:30,430 --> 00:19:32,830 S3: He's like, and all of us reached that point. I'm 346 00:19:32,869 --> 00:19:37,179 S3: not enough. Well, the fact is, a risen savior. A 347 00:19:37,180 --> 00:19:40,940 S3: death crushing savior who has beaten the greatest enemy known 348 00:19:40,940 --> 00:19:45,899 S3: to man. Coming into your life will change. A husband 349 00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:49,460 S3: or change. A wife will change. A son will change. 350 00:19:49,460 --> 00:19:53,220 S3: A daughter will change. An angry man will change a. 351 00:19:53,580 --> 00:19:57,459 S3: A cold hearted man will change. An abuser will change. 352 00:19:57,460 --> 00:20:02,859 S3: An abuse victim will change a lonely person and totally transforms. 353 00:20:03,020 --> 00:20:06,100 S3: When you get bad news from the doctor, or when 354 00:20:06,100 --> 00:20:10,740 S3: you're standing at your loved one's grave, a living savior 355 00:20:10,780 --> 00:20:11,780 S3: changes everything. 356 00:20:12,540 --> 00:20:16,659 S1: That's Ron Hutchcraft, chairman of Hutchcraft Ministries, founder of On 357 00:20:16,660 --> 00:20:20,380 S1: Eagle's Wings.

Rick is in Arkansas. Rick, join 363 00:20:37,420 --> 00:20:38,619 S1: us with your story. 364 00:20:39,380 --> 00:20:42,540 S5: Oh well, Chris, it is so good to see you. Hello, dad. 365 00:20:42,540 --> 00:20:47,180 S5: Good to talk with you. Yes, my father in law and, uh, 366 00:20:47,540 --> 00:20:50,859 S5: obviously Moody Radio has had a huge impact on, uh, 367 00:20:50,859 --> 00:20:53,740 S5: for me. For my wife. Uh, in fact, uh, Chris, 368 00:20:53,780 --> 00:20:55,980 S5: you know the story, uh, Rick and Lisa got to 369 00:20:56,020 --> 00:20:58,340 S5: meet each other on Saturday night alive when we first 370 00:20:58,340 --> 00:20:59,139 S5: got started. 371 00:20:59,460 --> 00:21:00,980 S1: I've got the pictures of that. 372 00:21:02,220 --> 00:21:04,260 S5: It is. That's fun. But that's not why I'm calling today. 373 00:21:04,260 --> 00:21:08,300 S5: Today I'm calling because Moody Radio, literally. I'm here today, Chris, 374 00:21:08,700 --> 00:21:11,060 S5: because of the power of Moody Radio. It was, um, 375 00:21:11,100 --> 00:21:15,740 S5: my mom's father, uh, William West is his name. And, uh, 376 00:21:16,100 --> 00:21:18,980 S5: in the Great Depression in the early 1930s, he was 377 00:21:18,980 --> 00:21:24,179 S5: a businessman. Um, but he was very lost. And, uh, he, 378 00:21:24,220 --> 00:21:28,980 S5: he was far from God. And, uh, he, uh, had 379 00:21:28,980 --> 00:21:33,050 S5: an injury. God got Ahold of him. with some attention by, uh, 380 00:21:33,530 --> 00:21:36,850 S5: sidelining him. And he was, uh, it was a jaw injury. 381 00:21:36,850 --> 00:21:41,850 S5: And and, uh, he was staying in his aunt's home. Uh, 382 00:21:42,130 --> 00:21:45,090 S5: and his aunt was a loyal listener to Moody Radio. Now, 383 00:21:45,130 --> 00:21:48,409 S5: this is 1931. This is the Great Depression. Moody radio 384 00:21:48,450 --> 00:21:51,570 S5: was four years old at this time, and God was 385 00:21:51,570 --> 00:21:55,609 S5: doing something really special, uh, at that time with, uh, 386 00:21:55,609 --> 00:21:59,250 S5: in Chicago through the Christian Businessmen's Committee. This is the 387 00:21:59,250 --> 00:22:04,010 S5: origin story of Cbmc. And, uh, something was going on 388 00:22:04,050 --> 00:22:08,010 S5: in the loop of Chicago. And, uh, they were meeting 389 00:22:08,010 --> 00:22:10,929 S5: in this theater and the, the people who were in 390 00:22:10,930 --> 00:22:13,170 S5: charge of Moody Radio said, well, we have got to 391 00:22:13,210 --> 00:22:17,210 S5: get what God is doing here in Chicago and broadcast 392 00:22:17,210 --> 00:22:21,649 S5: that all over Moody radio. And, uh, my grandfather, uh, 393 00:22:21,650 --> 00:22:23,850 S5: wrote his testimony down. He said, my aunt listen in 394 00:22:23,850 --> 00:22:27,050 S5: every day and listen to this. It was a hope story, 395 00:22:27,730 --> 00:22:31,010 S5: a hope story that got a hold of my grandfather's heart. 396 00:22:31,050 --> 00:22:33,250 S5: He said, I heard a minister from Boston. His name 397 00:22:33,250 --> 00:22:36,450 S5: was Mr. Shannon, and his story got me thinking. Mr. 398 00:22:36,450 --> 00:22:39,850 S5: Shannon shared his testimony, how he was a confirmed drunkard, 399 00:22:40,170 --> 00:22:42,850 S5: and he was saved by believing in the finished work 400 00:22:42,850 --> 00:22:45,570 S5: of the Lord Jesus Christ and how Jesus Christ died 401 00:22:45,570 --> 00:22:48,649 S5: for our sins according to the Scripture, and was buried 402 00:22:48,690 --> 00:22:52,609 S5: and rose on the third day. And Chris, my grandfather, 403 00:22:52,609 --> 00:22:55,450 S5: dramatically gave his heart to Christ, and he was lost. 404 00:22:55,450 --> 00:22:58,490 S5: And then he was found. And he then went on 405 00:22:58,530 --> 00:23:02,890 S5: to find a young woman to marry, and that would 406 00:23:02,890 --> 00:23:06,690 S5: be my grandmother. And they had five kids, including my mom, 407 00:23:06,690 --> 00:23:11,130 S5: who had her children, including me. And, uh, and literally, 408 00:23:11,130 --> 00:23:14,010 S5: I believe I am here today because of the Power 409 00:23:14,210 --> 00:23:18,410 S5: of Rescue Radio, Moody Radio in the early 1930s. So 410 00:23:18,450 --> 00:23:20,290 S5: thank you for allowing me to share my story. Chris. 411 00:23:20,330 --> 00:23:23,810 S1: I'm so glad you you've lived it, Rick. And thank 412 00:23:23,850 --> 00:23:25,530 S1: you for sharing it here. Ron, what do you say 413 00:23:25,530 --> 00:23:26,010 S1: to that? 414 00:23:27,570 --> 00:23:32,159 S3: Thanks for calling, Rick. That was. That's very special. And 415 00:23:32,200 --> 00:23:35,000 S3: it just connects the full circle of our family in 416 00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:35,520 S3: many ways. 417 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:40,320 S1: Yeah. Yeah. And can you believe you were there when 418 00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:43,920 S1: Rick and Lisa met while you were doing that program? 419 00:23:43,960 --> 00:23:47,040 S1: This was like 1985, wasn't it? I thought you. 420 00:23:47,200 --> 00:23:48,840 S3: Were going to say that I was there when his 421 00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,080 S3: grandfather was listening. 422 00:23:50,119 --> 00:23:51,080 S1: That's not true. 423 00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,679 S3: You know, with this hundred year thing, I'm still having 424 00:23:53,720 --> 00:23:57,240 S3: trouble with that. Um, no. It was our first Saturday 425 00:23:57,240 --> 00:24:00,320 S3: Night Live, and we we were having a call in, 426 00:24:00,320 --> 00:24:02,480 S3: but I wasn't sure. You know, at that time, Woody 427 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,600 S3: didn't have a lot of young listeners because, you know, 428 00:24:04,640 --> 00:24:06,800 S3: it was more of an adult format and the music 429 00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:09,959 S3: was definitely for adults. And so I was like, I 430 00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:12,760 S3: don't know if anybody will call. And they did, but 431 00:24:12,760 --> 00:24:16,040 S3: I said, I better guarantee that we have some conversation. 432 00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:20,320 S3: So I brought my daughter from new Jersey, uh, and, uh, 433 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:23,720 S3: she was 16 and, uh, my producer said, I know 434 00:24:23,720 --> 00:24:27,280 S3: this really cool guy from Wheaton. His name is Rick. Oh, 435 00:24:27,280 --> 00:24:30,040 S3: by the way, coincidentally, that's my son in law. And 436 00:24:30,280 --> 00:24:33,640 S3: they were there and, uh, and that and the program 437 00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:38,040 S3: was the three lives of the American dating game. And, uh, 438 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:40,720 S3: and I want, you know, everybody's going, oh, isn't that 439 00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,840 S3: sweet love at first sight? They were both very unimpressed 440 00:24:43,840 --> 00:24:44,600 S3: with each other. 441 00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:50,879 S1: But and look, look at how many, uh, grandkids they've 442 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:54,520 S1: given you now who are doing the same thing, you know? Okay, 443 00:24:54,560 --> 00:24:55,920 S1: so here's what I want to do, Ron. I'm going 444 00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:57,879 S1: to take a break here in the in the middle 445 00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,879 S1: of the hour. And when we come back, I want 446 00:25:00,880 --> 00:25:04,280 S1: you to hear a part of rescue radio that happened 447 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:07,520 S1: live on the air with a man that we have 448 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,320 S1: been talking about. Uh, as we look back at 100 449 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:13,000 S1: years of Moody Radio, I want you to hear his voice, 450 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:14,840 S1: and then we're going to take more of your calls. 451 00:25:14,840 --> 00:25:18,560 S1: Do you have a rescue story? Was Moody Radio pivotal 452 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:22,159 S1: in your, uh, responding to the gospel or someone in 453 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,440 S1: your family that, you know, that you told them about 454 00:25:25,510 --> 00:25:35,510 S1: Moody radio. One way to hear your story at eight. 77548367587754836. 455 00:25:35,550 --> 00:25:39,189 S1: Seven five. And maybe today you're doing the very same 456 00:25:39,190 --> 00:25:42,030 S1: thing that Ron was talking about. You're looking for that 457 00:25:42,030 --> 00:25:45,430 S1: peace in your life. You're looking for something to fill 458 00:25:45,430 --> 00:25:48,189 S1: the hole in your soul. You keep listening. There's more 459 00:25:48,190 --> 00:25:50,350 S1: straight ahead on Moody Radio. 460 00:26:02,430 --> 00:26:06,990 S6: James in Florida, are you on the line? Yeah. What 461 00:26:06,990 --> 00:26:07,990 S6: can I do for you? 462 00:26:08,030 --> 00:26:11,750 S7: I just wanted to see if I can get saved and. 463 00:26:11,950 --> 00:26:13,750 S7: And to know how to do it. 464 00:26:14,310 --> 00:26:18,590 S6: There's nothing to do except to believe the gospel. That's 465 00:26:18,590 --> 00:26:20,150 S6: all you have to do. I'll read you a few 466 00:26:20,150 --> 00:26:22,989 S6: verses from the Bible. Okay. Why do you want to 467 00:26:22,990 --> 00:26:23,630 S6: get saved? 468 00:26:24,940 --> 00:26:30,420 S7: Because the word I heard from your station, it. It 469 00:26:30,420 --> 00:26:32,739 S7: just touched me and it and it and it. 470 00:26:32,940 --> 00:26:34,860 S6: Well, the fact is you need to be saved. And 471 00:26:34,859 --> 00:26:38,580 S6: if you're not saved, then you're lost. Right. And if 472 00:26:38,619 --> 00:26:41,060 S6: you're lost, you go to hell. The Bible is very 473 00:26:41,060 --> 00:26:44,260 S6: plain about that. But listen to this. God so loved 474 00:26:44,260 --> 00:26:47,700 S6: the world that he gave his only begotten son. That 475 00:26:47,700 --> 00:26:52,060 S6: was Jesus, that whoever believes in him should not perish 476 00:26:52,540 --> 00:26:57,379 S6: but have eternal life. It's as simple as that. God 477 00:26:57,380 --> 00:26:59,980 S6: did not send His son into the world to judge 478 00:26:59,980 --> 00:27:03,180 S6: the world, but that the world should be saved through him. 479 00:27:03,420 --> 00:27:08,340 S6: He who believes in him is not judged. Mhm. That's 480 00:27:08,340 --> 00:27:11,980 S6: how simple it is. I often turn to a passage 481 00:27:11,980 --> 00:27:16,739 S6: in Romans. This is one of the letters that the 482 00:27:16,740 --> 00:27:21,940 S6: Apostle Paul wrote. Here's what Paul said. If you confess 483 00:27:21,940 --> 00:27:26,620 S6: with your mouth, Jesus as Lord and believe in your 484 00:27:26,619 --> 00:27:30,540 S6: heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall 485 00:27:30,540 --> 00:27:32,820 S6: be saved. There you have it. 486 00:27:33,380 --> 00:27:34,140 S7: Okay. Thanks. 487 00:27:34,540 --> 00:27:35,419 S6: Did you get it? 488 00:27:35,460 --> 00:27:35,740 S7: Yeah. 489 00:27:35,780 --> 00:27:36,740 S6: Are you going to do it? 490 00:27:36,980 --> 00:27:37,420 S7: Yeah. 491 00:27:37,820 --> 00:27:38,859 S6: When are you going to do it? 492 00:27:39,460 --> 00:27:41,380 S7: Right after I get done talking to you. 493 00:27:41,380 --> 00:27:45,060 S6: Or do it right now. Confess with your mouth Jesus 494 00:27:45,060 --> 00:27:48,060 S6: as Lord. Meaning that you acknowledge that Jesus was not 495 00:27:48,060 --> 00:27:51,619 S6: just a man. He was a man, but he was divine. 496 00:27:52,140 --> 00:27:55,220 S6: And he died for you. And God raised him from 497 00:27:55,220 --> 00:27:58,220 S6: the dead. And if you believe that, really believe that 498 00:27:58,220 --> 00:28:02,139 S6: the Word of God says you are saved. Don't wait. 499 00:28:02,140 --> 00:28:02,979 S6: You do it now. 500 00:28:03,859 --> 00:28:07,219 S7: Lord, I'm a sinner and and I want you to 501 00:28:07,220 --> 00:28:08,180 S7: come into my heart. 502 00:28:08,740 --> 00:28:09,699 S6: And save me. 503 00:28:09,820 --> 00:28:10,300 S7: And save. 504 00:28:10,300 --> 00:28:11,740 S6: Me. And I believe you. 505 00:28:12,100 --> 00:28:12,980 S7: And I believe you. 506 00:28:12,980 --> 00:28:14,580 S6: I believe you died for me. 507 00:28:14,580 --> 00:28:16,180 S7: I believe you died for me and. 508 00:28:16,220 --> 00:28:17,139 S6: Rose again. 509 00:28:17,660 --> 00:28:18,540 S7: And rose again. 510 00:28:18,820 --> 00:28:19,540 S6: Thank you. 511 00:28:19,820 --> 00:28:20,379 S7: Thank you. 512 00:28:22,050 --> 00:28:25,010 S1: Right there at the end. James just has this kind of. 513 00:28:25,050 --> 00:28:29,610 S1: He doesn't laugh. It's just this. Huh? Like, there was 514 00:28:29,609 --> 00:28:34,330 S1: something that happened between radio pastor Donald Cole and James 515 00:28:34,330 --> 00:28:39,570 S1: that night on Open Line. And it's happening even today. 516 00:28:39,610 --> 00:28:43,690 S1: As you listen to this, there's probably somebody listening who 517 00:28:43,730 --> 00:28:49,170 S1: is praying along with James because he or she needs 518 00:28:49,290 --> 00:28:54,250 S1: that truth that Pastor Cole so many years ago gave. 519 00:28:54,290 --> 00:28:56,090 S1: Ron Hutchcraft responded that. 520 00:28:57,570 --> 00:29:01,490 S3: You know, D.L. Moody, of course, was an evangelist, and 521 00:29:01,850 --> 00:29:04,810 S3: they preached to more people just like Billy Graham did 522 00:29:04,850 --> 00:29:08,370 S3: in his time than anybody else. So D.L. Moody did. 523 00:29:08,730 --> 00:29:12,130 S3: And but he he wasn't just content to talk to 524 00:29:12,170 --> 00:29:16,690 S3: people in an auditorium by himself. He captured whatever was 525 00:29:16,690 --> 00:29:21,010 S3: available then to accelerate the spread of the gospel. In 526 00:29:21,010 --> 00:29:24,450 S3: those days it was print. And so he did all 527 00:29:24,450 --> 00:29:27,970 S3: kinds of things with his sermons. And they were like, 528 00:29:28,010 --> 00:29:30,450 S3: he I've seen where his sermons took up whole front 529 00:29:30,450 --> 00:29:35,050 S3: pages of major newspapers and, and music and so on. 530 00:29:35,050 --> 00:29:39,770 S3: So he did it in his time. In 1920, radio 531 00:29:39,770 --> 00:29:43,410 S3: really began six years later, right on the front lines 532 00:29:43,410 --> 00:29:47,729 S3: of radio starting. Moody says, we can use this to 533 00:29:47,770 --> 00:29:51,570 S3: get the gospel where people are. And the thing, the 534 00:29:51,570 --> 00:29:55,890 S3: amazing thing about radio is that it's the one place 535 00:29:55,890 --> 00:29:59,489 S3: that you can hear Jesus hear from Jesus through a 536 00:29:59,490 --> 00:30:04,770 S3: human voice all day, every day, anytime. And there's just 537 00:30:04,770 --> 00:30:08,370 S3: no other ministry that that can do that. And so 538 00:30:08,690 --> 00:30:12,170 S3: the ability to find Jesus and hear his voice all 539 00:30:12,330 --> 00:30:16,570 S3: at any time is just continued across the decades. I 540 00:30:16,570 --> 00:30:20,640 S3: just want to say that Moody Radio has always had 541 00:30:20,640 --> 00:30:23,840 S3: the Gospel of Jesus Christ at its heart. It's it's 542 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:28,560 S3: the heart of its founder, its human founder, and obviously 543 00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:32,720 S3: its ultimate founder and the Savior Jesus himself. But I 544 00:30:32,720 --> 00:30:37,360 S3: would say in recent days, there has been probably a 545 00:30:37,400 --> 00:30:41,880 S3: greater passion about being about the gospel I've been asked 546 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:45,040 S3: on when I've been asked to do things on Moody Radio. 547 00:30:45,120 --> 00:30:48,520 S3: Please present the gospel. Let's do. You just asked me 548 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,960 S3: to share that a few minutes ago. Here we go. 549 00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:55,080 S3: It's just where Moody Radio's heart is. It is a 550 00:30:55,080 --> 00:30:57,920 S3: heart for the lost. And in a day where radio 551 00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:01,480 S3: formats have changed a great deal. And it's okay to 552 00:31:01,480 --> 00:31:05,440 S3: have a variety of formats because different things reach different people, 553 00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:09,320 S3: but with great pressure these days to be like all music, 554 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:11,880 S3: Moody Radio has said, we got a lot of great 555 00:31:11,880 --> 00:31:15,480 S3: music and they do, but at the same time, they 556 00:31:15,520 --> 00:31:19,360 S3: have made it the core that you've got to teach 557 00:31:19,360 --> 00:31:22,880 S3: and preach the gospel. You can't just sing it. And 558 00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:27,080 S3: they have stayed with the gospel being presented. And with 559 00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:31,000 S3: that intentionality, there are the transaction that took place with 560 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,280 S3: Don Cole those many years ago. I am sure is 561 00:31:34,280 --> 00:31:38,880 S3: happening daily in places all across this country, because Moody 562 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:44,200 S3: Radio thinks Lost and Moody Radio is gospel radio, and 563 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,480 S3: God loves that. 564 00:31:45,880 --> 00:31:48,520 S1: We love having you a part of this for all 565 00:31:48,520 --> 00:31:52,440 S1: these decades. Ron and Mary Ann is joining us in Cleveland. 566 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,720 S1: Mary Ann. Go right ahead. What do you want to say? 567 00:31:55,600 --> 00:31:59,320 S8: Okay. Hi. Um, first of all, hi, Ron, it's Mary 568 00:31:59,320 --> 00:31:59,960 S8: Ann King. 569 00:32:00,320 --> 00:32:02,160 S3: I know it is Mary Ann. I was. 570 00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:02,440 S8: Hoping. 571 00:32:02,480 --> 00:32:03,600 S3: It was Mary Ann. 572 00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:07,719 S8: Well, I when I heard the word rescue, I love 573 00:32:07,720 --> 00:32:12,440 S8: that word because that's what we experience. But going back 574 00:32:12,440 --> 00:32:15,520 S8: to I was saved and it was a brand new 575 00:32:15,670 --> 00:32:19,750 S8: situation for me, and I knew that I didn't want 576 00:32:19,750 --> 00:32:23,950 S8: to go to church without my husband. So I stayed home, 577 00:32:23,950 --> 00:32:29,190 S8: which kept me protected from winds of doctrine everywhere because 578 00:32:29,190 --> 00:32:31,670 S8: I would have gone here or there and, you know, 579 00:32:31,710 --> 00:32:33,670 S8: all kinds of Bible studies. And then when he came 580 00:32:33,670 --> 00:32:36,110 S8: home from work, I'd he'd say, what did you do today? 581 00:32:36,150 --> 00:32:38,390 S8: And without lying, I'd have to tell him I was 582 00:32:38,390 --> 00:32:40,750 S8: at Bible studies and he wouldn't have liked that, or 583 00:32:40,750 --> 00:32:43,470 S8: he would have been okay with that for me, but 584 00:32:43,470 --> 00:32:50,350 S8: not for him. So Moody radio was my constant companion. 585 00:32:50,350 --> 00:32:53,350 S8: No matter. It could have been Sailor Sam. It could 586 00:32:53,390 --> 00:32:57,510 S8: have been anything. I just just soaked it up. Absolutely 587 00:32:57,550 --> 00:33:02,870 S8: loving every single thing that was said. I loved it all. 588 00:33:02,870 --> 00:33:06,110 S8: And my kids, in the morning, they would listen to 589 00:33:06,110 --> 00:33:09,110 S8: it along with me and it was just wonderful. And 590 00:33:09,110 --> 00:33:11,910 S8: we prayed for dad. Well, ten months later, the Lord 591 00:33:11,910 --> 00:33:15,430 S8: brought him in. And so we've always. I could start 592 00:33:15,430 --> 00:33:19,990 S8: crying right now because Moody meant so much to us then. 593 00:33:19,990 --> 00:33:25,910 S8: But the protection that for me is what I experienced 594 00:33:26,110 --> 00:33:29,470 S8: because I was just I was able to stay home 595 00:33:29,830 --> 00:33:33,750 S8: and not go around everywhere else, you know, I just 596 00:33:33,750 --> 00:33:35,710 S8: stayed home and just soaked it in. 597 00:33:36,750 --> 00:33:38,910 S1: I am so glad we had the space to hear 598 00:33:38,910 --> 00:33:43,030 S1: that story, Marianne, because there's somebody listening today who needed 599 00:33:43,030 --> 00:33:46,790 S1: to hear that. I'm convinced of it, that there's somebody 600 00:33:46,790 --> 00:33:50,070 S1: just that light in your voice and the companionship that 601 00:33:50,070 --> 00:33:53,670 S1: Moody Radio was to you all those years ago. That's 602 00:33:53,670 --> 00:33:56,470 S1: happening again today. Let me get one more story before 603 00:33:56,470 --> 00:33:59,750 S1: we take a break. Tamika is in Chicago. Hi, Tamika. 604 00:33:59,790 --> 00:34:00,590 S1: Go right ahead. 605 00:34:01,230 --> 00:34:04,110 S9: Hi, Chris. I listen to I listen to your show 606 00:34:04,110 --> 00:34:07,150 S9: all the time while I listen to all the moody radio, um, 607 00:34:07,390 --> 00:34:09,390 S9: shows when I can, but I just wanted to share 608 00:34:09,390 --> 00:34:13,540 S9: my story about how, um. Okay. I said I wasn't 609 00:34:13,540 --> 00:34:18,500 S9: going to cry. How God met me. And, um, uh, 610 00:34:18,540 --> 00:34:21,339 S9: the darkest place in my life. And I got in 611 00:34:21,340 --> 00:34:25,860 S9: my car one day and Moody Bible radio was on 612 00:34:25,900 --> 00:34:28,540 S9: the on the radio station. I tried to turn my 613 00:34:28,540 --> 00:34:31,259 S9: car off and I turned it back on and it 614 00:34:31,260 --> 00:34:35,060 S9: was like everything was frozen. And I was like, okay, God, 615 00:34:35,060 --> 00:34:37,500 S9: I'm what? What is going on here? And I just 616 00:34:37,540 --> 00:34:40,980 S9: turned up the radio. And that was six years ago. 617 00:34:40,980 --> 00:34:44,620 S9: And my life has tremendously changed. And I thank God 618 00:34:44,620 --> 00:34:47,379 S9: for all of the all of the all of you 619 00:34:47,380 --> 00:34:50,259 S9: all on the show. Um, it just has been a 620 00:34:50,260 --> 00:34:53,980 S9: great blessing to me. So I just want to thank 621 00:34:53,980 --> 00:34:58,580 S9: you all for 100 years and thank God, thank Jesus for, um, 622 00:34:59,460 --> 00:35:02,700 S9: and just picking me up at my lowest point and 623 00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:05,980 S9: using his children to bring me to the word. 624 00:35:06,500 --> 00:35:07,820 S10: I love the emotion. 625 00:35:07,820 --> 00:35:11,060 S1: Tamika. I love the emotion that I'm hearing in your voice. 626 00:35:11,500 --> 00:35:14,020 S1: And one of the things that I want to say 627 00:35:14,380 --> 00:35:18,580 S1: to anybody listening right now, if you have contributed to 628 00:35:18,620 --> 00:35:22,180 S1: Moody Radio through the years, especially six years ago, you're 629 00:35:22,180 --> 00:35:25,819 S1: part of Tamika's story.

A lot of times that's where 634 00:35:39,140 --> 00:35:42,860 S1: God meets you, and he uses Moody Radio to do that. 635 00:35:42,980 --> 00:35:46,020 S1: So I just wanted to say, if you have contributed. 636 00:35:46,020 --> 00:35:48,899 S1: Thank you.

I knew that we needed 652 00:36:50,890 --> 00:36:54,129 S1: to talk about the gospel this month because Moody Radio's 653 00:36:54,130 --> 00:36:57,810 S1: middle name, you know, Moody Bible Institute is that Bible 654 00:36:57,810 --> 00:37:01,410 S1: is the middle name.

A life that matters. 661 00:37:22,690 --> 00:37:26,330 S1: But before we end here, talk about Saturday Night Alive. 662 00:37:26,330 --> 00:37:29,370 S1: I had the opportunity to work with you in putting 663 00:37:29,410 --> 00:37:33,290 S1: together some of the the dramatic things, the funny things. 664 00:37:33,290 --> 00:37:36,090 S1: You'd throw these at us and we would, uh, we 665 00:37:36,090 --> 00:37:39,650 S1: would put them all together. Talk about Saturday Night Live. 666 00:37:40,850 --> 00:37:44,890 S3: You know, uh, I believe there was not a national 667 00:37:44,969 --> 00:37:49,450 S3: Christian radio program for young people until, uh, Moody had 668 00:37:49,450 --> 00:37:53,010 S3: the courage really to say, okay, we will be willing 669 00:37:53,050 --> 00:37:56,370 S3: to play some contemporary Christian music that at that time 670 00:37:56,410 --> 00:38:00,850 S3: may have been considered a little controversial. But courageously they said, Ron, 671 00:38:00,890 --> 00:38:03,130 S3: we know if it's going to if young people are 672 00:38:03,130 --> 00:38:05,490 S3: going to listen to it, the music will decide whether 673 00:38:05,489 --> 00:38:08,640 S3: they listen to it. We have live studio audiences, I hear. 674 00:38:08,680 --> 00:38:11,040 S3: I meet people all the time who say, I was 675 00:38:11,040 --> 00:38:13,640 S3: on your program, and because we had young people in 676 00:38:13,640 --> 00:38:17,200 S3: the studio, uh, every, you know, week after week, we 677 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:21,319 S3: did a live call in once a month. And I listeners, 678 00:38:21,320 --> 00:38:24,440 S3: you need to know that the sophisticated host of this 679 00:38:24,440 --> 00:38:29,520 S3: program was also known as Donald Dorkly at one time. Uh. 680 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:32,560 S1: And he's talking about me. He's talking about me. And 681 00:38:32,560 --> 00:38:33,840 S1: Andrea was Dora. 682 00:38:34,280 --> 00:38:36,319 S3: I know you got. Hey, Chris, you got to do 683 00:38:36,360 --> 00:38:38,000 S3: a one sentence of Donald. Come on. 684 00:38:38,440 --> 00:38:40,560 S1: I don't think I can, Ron. 685 00:38:42,239 --> 00:38:45,400 S3: Oh, he lived up to it. It was perfect. And 686 00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:48,799 S3: everybody loved the Dorkly family. Uh, and you can write 687 00:38:48,800 --> 00:38:50,560 S3: him about that and tell him how much that's meant 688 00:38:50,560 --> 00:38:56,080 S3: in your life. Um, but but honestly, uh, I continually 689 00:38:56,080 --> 00:38:58,359 S3: meet people. You don't know it at the time, but 690 00:38:58,360 --> 00:39:00,600 S3: I meet people all the time who are in ministry 691 00:39:00,600 --> 00:39:04,440 S3: today who said you got me through? Um, you know, 692 00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:07,200 S3: an editor told me not long ago in the middle 693 00:39:07,200 --> 00:39:10,920 S3: of talking about a book, she started crying and she said, 694 00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:16,120 S3: my my mother was was really out of commission. Uh, psychologically, 695 00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:19,000 S3: when I was in high school, my dad was taking 696 00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,160 S3: care of her and she said, you got me through 697 00:39:21,200 --> 00:39:26,160 S3: high school, literally. And, uh, I didn't, I. But the 698 00:39:26,160 --> 00:39:29,600 S3: one I represented, and I'm, I'm, I'm his messenger boy. 699 00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:34,040 S3: I'm a UPS guy. And, uh, then, um, we just, uh, 700 00:39:34,360 --> 00:39:37,720 S3: I just know people that came to Christ. The pizza 701 00:39:37,719 --> 00:39:41,760 S3: delivery guy who stopped, uh, somebody didn't get their pizza 702 00:39:41,760 --> 00:39:43,680 S3: that night because he pulled over to the side of 703 00:39:43,680 --> 00:39:45,719 S3: the road. And when I said, if you'd like to 704 00:39:45,719 --> 00:39:49,440 S3: begin a relationship with Christ, and he did, and, uh, 705 00:39:49,440 --> 00:39:53,520 S3: then wwdm in, in, uh, you know, the, uh, Quad 706 00:39:53,520 --> 00:39:56,919 S3: Cities area. Yeah. Yeah. Later, when I was on with them, 707 00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:00,239 S3: they played a tape they had of his baptism in 708 00:40:00,239 --> 00:40:04,440 S3: the local church. Um, the pizza boy who came to Christ. 709 00:40:04,600 --> 00:40:08,509 S3: So it's just amazing. But it took the courage of 710 00:40:08,550 --> 00:40:12,310 S3: Moody Broadcasting to do that and know that some people 711 00:40:12,310 --> 00:40:15,229 S3: might go, what just happened to our you know what, 712 00:40:15,270 --> 00:40:18,230 S3: the way it sounds all the time on Saturday night, 713 00:40:18,230 --> 00:40:21,469 S3: it was rescuing young people. And I'm just. And I 714 00:40:21,510 --> 00:40:25,550 S3: gotta say this, Chris, I think somebody is listening today, 715 00:40:25,550 --> 00:40:29,710 S3: and I'm quite sure of that, that Jesus keeps surprising 716 00:40:29,710 --> 00:40:34,350 S3: people on the radio. And you weren't expecting today to 717 00:40:34,390 --> 00:40:36,870 S3: hear all this about Jesus. I don't know how you 718 00:40:36,870 --> 00:40:40,989 S3: ended up listening to this particular station at this particular time, 719 00:40:41,469 --> 00:40:45,310 S3: but God had an appointment scheduled with you today wasn't 720 00:40:45,310 --> 00:40:48,469 S3: in your book, it was in his. And that appointment 721 00:40:48,469 --> 00:40:51,109 S3: is coming by way of radio. And you can't see 722 00:40:51,150 --> 00:40:53,549 S3: me and you don't know me. But that doesn't matter, 723 00:40:53,550 --> 00:40:57,270 S3: because Moody Radio hasn't changed a single life. They can't. 724 00:40:57,310 --> 00:41:00,590 S3: They are the delivery system for the one who can. 725 00:41:00,870 --> 00:41:04,550 S3: And all that you've heard people saying today about sins 726 00:41:04,550 --> 00:41:09,390 S3: being forgiven and, and, and the dark times being lit 727 00:41:09,430 --> 00:41:14,029 S3: up and the hopelessness being replaced by hope and a 728 00:41:14,030 --> 00:41:18,910 S3: future without God being replaced by an eternity. You know, 729 00:41:18,910 --> 00:41:22,230 S3: you're going to have with him all of that resides 730 00:41:22,230 --> 00:41:26,430 S3: in one man and only one Jesus Christ, the only 731 00:41:26,430 --> 00:41:28,950 S3: one who can give you eternal life, my friend. The 732 00:41:28,950 --> 00:41:31,750 S3: only one who can guarantee you heaven is the one 733 00:41:31,750 --> 00:41:36,750 S3: who proved he has eternal life. Nobody. Death conquered everybody else. 734 00:41:37,070 --> 00:41:39,190 S3: He's the only one who can give it to you. 735 00:41:39,190 --> 00:41:43,589 S3: And so I pray that today, this 100 year miracle 736 00:41:43,590 --> 00:41:47,750 S3: of people turning on the radio and when they turned 737 00:41:47,750 --> 00:41:50,790 S3: it on, their soul was empty and they were lost. 738 00:41:51,110 --> 00:41:53,950 S3: When they turned it off, they were heaven bound. They 739 00:41:53,950 --> 00:41:55,950 S3: knew where they were going to go, and they had 740 00:41:55,950 --> 00:41:59,390 S3: Christ in their heart that it can be used today. 741 00:41:59,870 --> 00:42:03,380 S3: And your appointment with Jesus was scheduled a long time ago, 742 00:42:03,980 --> 00:42:07,540 S3: and it's now and it's today. And I would ask 743 00:42:07,540 --> 00:42:11,700 S3: you where you are to say, Jesus, some of those 744 00:42:11,700 --> 00:42:15,500 S3: things you died for were mine. And I know I 745 00:42:15,540 --> 00:42:18,060 S3: deserve the death penalty for running my life when God 746 00:42:18,060 --> 00:42:23,259 S3: was supposed to. But today, today, Jesus, I believe that 747 00:42:23,260 --> 00:42:25,180 S3: when you died on that cross, you were paying for 748 00:42:25,180 --> 00:42:29,460 S3: my sins. I believe you are alive because of your resurrection. 749 00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:33,660 S3: And on this day I am grabbing you like a 750 00:42:33,700 --> 00:42:37,140 S3: drowning person would grab a lifeguard. You are my only 751 00:42:37,180 --> 00:42:41,260 S3: hope and I'm clinging to you for everything I need 752 00:42:41,300 --> 00:42:43,939 S3: and everything. The only things that can get me a 753 00:42:43,940 --> 00:42:49,420 S3: relationship with God. And so, beginning this day, I am yours. 754 00:42:50,739 --> 00:42:53,100 S3: If you will tell him that now, I'll tell you 755 00:42:53,100 --> 00:42:56,660 S3: what he said he would do. He said, whoever calls 756 00:42:56,660 --> 00:43:00,779 S3: on the name of the Lord will be rescued. This 757 00:43:00,780 --> 00:43:03,860 S3: is your rescue day. He said he stands at the 758 00:43:03,860 --> 00:43:06,899 S3: door and he knocks. And if you open the door, 759 00:43:06,900 --> 00:43:09,580 S3: he said, I will come in. And if you just 760 00:43:09,580 --> 00:43:11,940 S3: opened the door of your heart. I know what he did. 761 00:43:13,020 --> 00:43:15,060 S3: He said, I will come in. He's never broken a promise. 762 00:43:15,980 --> 00:43:18,859 S3: He was not in your life till now. He's now 763 00:43:18,860 --> 00:43:22,340 S3: there forever. And you have the one love you cannot lose. 764 00:43:23,219 --> 00:43:25,620 S3: And you will live with him forever. 765 00:43:28,260 --> 00:43:35,259 S1: Ron, I just am thinking about 1926, 100 years ago 766 00:43:35,620 --> 00:43:41,020 S1: and those who started this station, this ministry, this network 767 00:43:41,739 --> 00:43:44,980 S1: and what they were thinking of, how can we get 768 00:43:44,980 --> 00:43:48,460 S1: the message out to the most people all around the country, 769 00:43:48,500 --> 00:43:51,339 S1: you know, with the with the little transmitter that they 770 00:43:51,340 --> 00:43:55,259 S1: have with the Watts and everything that has changed. The 771 00:43:55,260 --> 00:43:58,620 S1: one thing that has not changed? Well, the Bible hasn't changed. 772 00:43:58,820 --> 00:44:00,890 S1: The one thing that has not changed is the power 773 00:44:00,890 --> 00:44:03,090 S1: of the gospel and the power of what you just said, 774 00:44:03,610 --> 00:44:09,050 S1: that that will come into a person's life. God wants 775 00:44:09,050 --> 00:44:11,770 S1: to come in and change you from the inside out. 776 00:44:11,810 --> 00:44:15,930 S1: Not just that cosmetic stuff, but from the inside out. 777 00:44:16,250 --> 00:44:19,730 S1: And you've just invited them to do that today. And 778 00:44:19,730 --> 00:44:24,730 S1: I'm not surprised that you did that, Ron. Thank you 779 00:44:24,730 --> 00:44:25,610 S1: for your heart. 780 00:44:26,650 --> 00:44:31,450 S3: You know, um, Jesus is the reason we are all here. 781 00:44:32,290 --> 00:44:36,330 S3: Moody radio. Thank God for the delivery system. But in 782 00:44:36,330 --> 00:44:39,810 S3: a way, we're all like the UPS guy. You know, 783 00:44:39,850 --> 00:44:43,370 S3: he he doesn't make the package. He doesn't pay for 784 00:44:43,370 --> 00:44:46,690 S3: the package. He just tries to deliver it on time 785 00:44:46,690 --> 00:44:50,810 S3: and undamaged. And that's what Moody Radio does. We're all 786 00:44:51,290 --> 00:44:56,090 S3: delivering the gospel of Jesus as we've delivered it again 787 00:44:56,090 --> 00:45:03,850 S3: to somebody today. And the miracle continues. Yes, 1926. Boy, 788 00:45:03,850 --> 00:45:08,770 S3: how different. 2026 is. Sin is still sin. Lost is 789 00:45:08,770 --> 00:45:12,890 S3: still lost. Heaven is still heaven. Hell is still hell. 790 00:45:13,210 --> 00:45:16,610 S3: And there is still a Savior. And his name is Jesus. 791 00:45:16,610 --> 00:45:20,610 S3: And Hope has a name. And Hope's name is Jesus. 792 00:45:20,730 --> 00:45:25,890 S3: And so once again, through Moody Radio. The greatest message 793 00:45:25,890 --> 00:45:28,370 S3: in the world.
