Our starting point this afternoon is THAAD...
There's been a lot of controversy about who should foot the bill for the U.S. missile
defense system that's being installed in South Korea.
On Sunday,... the U.S. national security adviser had said there could be a "renegotiation"
of the arrangements, after having previously said Washington would take care of it.
Today, Seoul's defense ministry says South Korea is not responsible for the cost unless
their current Status of Forces Agreement is revised.
Kim Jung-soo has the story.
South Korea's defense ministry has reiterated that Seoul will not pay for the U.S. missile
defense system THAAD, estimated at about 1 billion U.S. dollars,... and that it will
be only be responsible for the land transfer and installation of basic utility systems.
During a regular briefing Monday, the defense ministry spokesperson also said that a future
renegotiation of payments for THAAD would only take place if their existing Status of
Forces Agreement were revised.
His comments were in response to remarks made by U.S. National Security Adviser H.R McMaster
during an interview with FOX News Sunday.
McMaster had said that the U.S would adhere to its agreement with South Korea for the
missile defense system,... but,... in a surprising twist,... had also indicated that payments
for the system could be renegotiated.
Prior to that, McMaster had spoken by phone earlier in the day with his South Korean counterpart
Kim Kwan-jin, reaffirming that the U.S., would pay for the THAAD battery under the existing
SOFA agreement.
The defense ministry in Seoul was also intent to dispel growing speculation in the Korean
media that the THAAD costs would be included in upcoming negotiations between the two countries
on South Korea's contribution to U.S. troop-stationing costs.
The spokesperson said that such matters are decided by a wide array of factors other than
the single element of a THAAD battery, such as the increased likelihood of a North Korean
provocation.
Excluding the THAAD battery, the U.S. currently has nearly 30-thousand troops on the Korean
peninsula.
Preliminary procedures for defense cost-sharing negotiations are expected to begin near the
end of the year.

Je veux être son ami ! Pr. Lincoln (127) - Duration: 2:37.
Hello, today my story is entitled:I want to be his friend! By the President Abraham Lincoln
Abraham Lincoln, great president of the United States, received daily soldiers' uncountable petitions
who had somehow or other broken the discipline.
Each petition was accompanied by letters of more or less influential people.
One day, he received a petition without any recommendation letter.
- Then, says Lincoln, this man has no influential friends?
- It appears not, Sir.
- Well! I want to be his friend!
Generous retort, which was worth to the author of this last petition the presidential grace!
Jesus came to be the friend of all lonely persons,
the outcasts, the sick, rejected victims.
He wants nothing less to be as well the friend of each of us,
as deplorable as our past can be or whatever our feeling of unworthiness
and the circumstances which we pass through.
But this friendship is called reciprocity.
Let us love him in return, let us obey what he commands us to do.
Let us love each other, that's his command!
"My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you.
Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command."
John chapter 15 verses 12 – 14
We can pray together if you wish
Lord, lead me to love those who are rejected, as you love them.
I want to go and meet them, to speak to them about you, so that they can know
that you love them and that you want to be their best friend.
The one who understands them, who helps them to walk,
and who has an eternal plan for each of them!

Frida Kahlo: The Love Embrace... by Abby - Duration: 12:01.
Frida Kahlo. Mexican Painter. Born on July
6, 1907. Just three years before the
Mexican Revolution began. Frida contacted
Polio at the age of six and at 18 she
was in a bus accident that would be
responsible for the pain she would have
to endure for the rest of her life.
Frida's life was full of physical as
well as emotional pain, yet she never
appeared weak, on the contrary, she always
stood strong. To express her pain, she
created approximately 200 paintings,
sketches, and drawings. Some of her most
known paintings are, the Two Fridas and
Self-portrait with Thorn Necklace and
Hummingbird. The focus of many of Frida's
paintings are her relationship with
Diego Rivera. Diego Rivera was a Mexican
painter that played a big role in
Mexico's Muralist movement that
happened between the 1920's and 1950's.
Diego Rivera was a big deal in Mexico,
which is why Frida sought his approval and
criticism for her artworks. After Diego
took a look at Frida's work, he
immediately saw the potential in her; as
an artist and later as a wife. Frida and
Diego got married in 1929. Frida's
marriage with Diego is often described
as turbulent and toxic because of the
number of affairs both Diego and Frida
had while married. Frida adored Diego
so much, so much that even after they got
divorced in 1939, they remarried in
1940. Diego was everything to Frida, in
her own words to Diego, "love me a little
I adore you." And it is precisely that
combination of love and pain that
inspired Frida to paint about Diego.
In the center of Frida's 1949 painting titled
The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth
(Mexico), Myself, Diego, and Señor Xolotl
is Diego and Frida. But before getting
into the meaning behind this painting
here are some basic details about it. The
The Love Embrace of the Universe, the Earth
(Mexico), Myself, Diego, and Señor Xolotl is
an oil on canvas painting. Its
dimensions are twenty eight inches by twenty three
point eight inches. Today it is part of
Jacques and Natasha Gelman's Art
collection in Mexico City, Mexico. To give
you an idea of the size of the painting
here is a picture of Frida herself
posing with the canvas. Prior to nineteen
forty nine Frida Kahlo sketched the
drawing of what would become this
painting. This sketch is found in her
diary on page 73, dating back to nineteen
forty-seven. This sketch is one of the
few images in her diary that she
eventually turned into a painting. Like
the sketch, the 1949 painting is a
composition made up of four main
characters. In the background, Frida
incorporates a face that blends into the
two different parts of the background,
which are a dark side with a moon on the
left and a lighter side with a sun on the
right. In the middle of the painting
there are three additional figures below
the face that blends into the background.
From top to bottom, the first figure
below the face is a large clay woman:
green in color with very thick hair and
nude with one of her breasts lactating.
Trees are growing out of this woman's
body and surrounding her there is plenty
of vegetation.
This clay woman is embracing Frida and
Diego, who are below her. Frida is
wearing a red dress and has her hair
down. If you look closely, you can see
there are tears running down Frida's
face. Frida is holding Diego in her arms.
In this painting Diego is nude and has a
third eye in his forehead. Diego is
holding a flame in his hand. Unlike her
sketch, Frida includes a fifth figure
which is a brown dog below Diego. The dog
is actually laying down in one of the
two hands that bring everything together
at the bottom of the painting. There is a
dark brown hand on the left side and a
light green hand on the right side of
the painting, that bring everyone and
everything in the painting together. The two
hands are also intertwined with roots
that appear to come from the bottom of
the painting. So what is The Love Embrace
of the Universe, the Earth(Mexico), Myself
Diego, and Señor Xolotl about?
Well, the easiest way to understand everything
that is going on in the painting is this
way. Imagine you are Frida Kahlo. It is
1949. You are married to Diego Rivera,
actually you just married Diego
Rivera for a second time in 1940. You are
still deeply heartbroken by all the
miscarriages you've had. You ache for
children, for Diego's children. The pain
of not being able to bear children cuts
you deeper than the physical pain from
your leg. You love Diego so intensely but
he doesn't care. He just had an affair
with a known actress, Maria Felix. Your
health is getting worse. You should feel
accomplished, you just got your
membership approved for the Mexican
Communist Party and you are in your home,
Mexico. This painting is your way of
saying this is my life! Take a look at
the bottom of the painting. Frida use its
shape to create specific characters like
the dog, Señor Xolotl, that make up the
iconography of this painting. Señor Xolotl is a Xoloitzcuintli dog which
in modern day is known as a Mexican
hairless dog. This specific hairless
breed has an ancestry that can be traced
back to 3,000 years to
Aztecs and that is precisely why Frida
own those type of dogs and why she
included it in this painting. If you
break down the word Xoloitzcuintli into
two different ones: Xolotl and Itzcuintili
you get the meaning behind the word.
According to Aztec myths, Xolotl was an
Aztec deity, the God of Fire and the escort
of the Dead to the Underworld. Itzcuintili is the Aztec word for dog, so
together Xoloitzcuintli means the Dog
of the Dead; therefore, Señor Xolotl, who
is an actual dog Frida owned, represents
Death. Moving up, we have Frida Kahlo and
Diego Rivera as the focal point of the
painting. They are the emphasis. Frida
Kahlo is wearing a red dress, while Diego
is nude and looks almost green in color.
Such a juxtaposition of colors
already lets us know there is some type
of conflict between them and we know
that the conflict can be all the affairs
they have behind each other's back. Yet
Frida is still holding on to Diego. She's
actually embracing him like a baby, which
makes sense if you take a look on pages
57 through 60 in her diary. On page 57 of her
diary she writes, "I'm not just your
mother, I am the embryo, the germs, the
first cell." On page 60 she writes, "Diego,
my child and then Diego, my son." And
even more telling is her diary entry on
page 8 where she writes, "Every moment he
is my child, my newborn babe, every little
while, every day of my own self." She sees
Diego as her child because she can't
seem to control him or even tame him a
little just like a spoiled baby and a
mother. Yet Frida Kahlo isn't trying to
belittle Diego by portraying him as a
child. The third eye represents wisdom.
Frida Kahlo always thought of Diego as
wise and was greatly influenced by him.
Diego is holding a flame in his hand
and it looks like Frida is getting
burned by it and she is tearing up. What
Frida was trying to convey with that is
that the pain Diego caused her, hurt her. In
terms of the bigger picture, just like
Señor Xolotl represented death in
Frida universe. Frida represents women
and Diego represents men. Moving even more
up, there is a large green woman that embraces Frida and Diego and allows for vegetation to
grow around them. This woman is Cihuacoatl,
in Aztec mythology she is one of
the motherhood and fertility goddesses.
The Aztecs viewed her as a warrior deity
because she protected woman who died at
childbirth. Using what I mentioned before
Frida has multiple miscarriages and a
lot of people would even conclude that
not being able to have children was
Frida's biggest misfortune. So Frida
includes Cihuacoatl to represent a
protector and fertility in her universe.
You can see that Cihuacoatl is the
protector because she embraces both
Frida and Diego and at the same time
surrounds them with vegetation and her
breast is lactating, which points to
fertility. Cihuacoatl really stands out
in the painting because of the implied
texture Frida gives her in order to
resonate with the viewer. For example,
look at the cactus you can almost feel
the spines on your hand. And moving to
the top of the painting we have a face.
According to Sarah Lowe, who is the author
of Frida Kahlo: an analytical study of
her paintings, the face represents the
universe. In Frida Kahlo's universe the
face also represents the Earth and Life.
You can see that because this face has
two hands that bring all the other
elements of Frida's universe together,
while still holding on to her roots. In
the background we have some negative
space but we have two contrasting sides.
We have the dark side on the left and
the lighter side on the right. On the
left there is a moon and on the right
there is a sun. Frida incorporates these
to represent balance in her universe. So
putting it all together this painting
focuses and all the elements Frida
sees as important in her life. We have
DEATH being represented by the dog, Señor Xolotl. Diego represents MEN, Frida
represents WOMEN, together they represent
PAIN. Cihuacoatl represents a PROTECTOR
and FERTILITY. The Earth represents LIFE.
the Moon and the Sun represents BALANCE
and the two hands holding it all
together is UNITY. Frida's, The Love
Embrace of the Universe, the Earth (Mexico),
Myself, Diego, and Señor Xolotl is
Frida's Universe (life).
This is my artwork. I titled it
"Arbol" or in english "Tree". It is a
photograph. My inspiration was Frida
Kahlo. Frida Kahlo has actually been my
idol for a while now. I just love how
talented and strong Frida Kahlo was. I
also really admire her because she was
always proud of her roots and she really
moves you to be proud of yours. For my
artwork I decided to paint my face and
fill my hair with leaves to take a
photograph. The final photograph shows me
with branches in my face and my hair
full of leaves. The reason behind this is
that I wanted to portray myself as a
tree. I kept looking at Frida's art and
she always incorporates nature in some
way, whether it is by depicting nature
itself or by posing next to like a
Cactus. So I realized why not become
nature? That is what I did, I became a
tree and I took a photograph with a very
straightforward look that is supposed to
mimic Frida's infamous stare. Frida was
with nature and this photograph shows I
am with nature.

Bible Study at Playlist Live 2014 - Duration: 39:31.
If you're not a Christian basically we here...
We're Christian.
We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins.
And, basically, when I was young I didn't believe in it whatsoever.
I kinda...I wasn't raised christian.
I kinda was super against it and stuff. I didn't believe in it whatsoever.
And then I stumbled upon a youth group in a park, actually.
And they were doing a Bible study with free food and dodge ball so I'm like "Yeah, that's sweet."
And I started going to youth group because of that and started...
What's up, dude?
Hey, have a seat!
We're doing a "bibble" study.
We're doing a Bible study.
How are you?
Sit down! Listen! It's going to be fun!
About to tell you the best news of your life!
You guys want to move over there?
Okay!
I didn't believe whatsoever. I was super against it.
I was like "That doesn't make any sense. Like there's God doing all this stuff and whatnot."
And I started going to youth group and started thinking like "Oh, maybe this is real" and stuff.
And as soon as I started giving it a chance and being open to it, it completely changed my life.
And it's pretty much why I do everything I do nowadays.
And I know that's the same for a lot of us over here.
We're kinda just going to do a little Bible study and talk about some cool things that have affected our life through God.
And we're Christians here. We believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins.
This is Brian.
This is Tessa and Shawna.
And we're...we're just gonna kinda keep it chill over here.
Brian, you want to take it away?
Was there a question (sorry)?
Yeah?
(Can you speak louder so that we can hear you?)
All right.
Absolutely.
We'll try.
I'm just gonna introduce myself and I'm gonna pass if off to Tessa.
If you want to start...I'll introduce you...scriptures...that's cool.
For ya'll that don't know me because I'm not a "YouTuber" my name's Brian Vickers.
I'm a member of a group called Team Impact.
Team Impact used to be called The Power Team back in the day.
We're a faith-based ministry.
We travel all over the world.
We do motivational speaking and bring messages of hope and faith.
We do feats of strength.
We run through walls of ice and break bricks.
We tell people about God.
We're all professional athletes in different sports.
You've got UFC champions, you got professional wrestlers...
Pro Strongmen, NFL football players.
I travel the globe. We're on the TBN network.
We get to go and speak...we see about a thousand-we do about a thousand school assemblies a year.
And then we see about two million people a year.
And it's just...God's laid it on my heart.
He's given me a platform through strength and strength-based sports to get the Word out.
To share my story along with His story with a lot of people which is allowing us to do
this cool thing here with ya'll today.
That's me and that's why I'm here; why I have a passion to be here and set up with Lane and kind
of share it with you guys tonight.
I'm Lane by the way.
I'm a musician.
This is Tessa. She does music and YouTube as well.
And we're just Christian people. And we got some cool stuff to say...a few words and stuff.
Tessa, you want to take it away?
Hey, guys!
Can the people in the back...are you like...can you hear at all?
Come over here maybe more.
So, I didn't grow up in a Christian home either.
In fact I didn't meet any Christians until I met Shawna when I was 18.
And I saw right away that she was very special and very smart, and a critical thinker.
And I remember thinking "Wow, you seem so smart to be a Christian.
And you seem really, like, funny and normal."
I had only ever seen, like, Westboro Baptist Church on the news and, like, a lot of really not great stuff.
So...I guess in 2000...
I met her in 2008 and for the next couple of years I got to witness her and how much
of a light she was in my life when I went through a lot of really dark depression and a lot of self-loathing.
I'm sure things that we all deal with.
And a few other Christians.
I met Lane a couple years later and I just remember thinking there was something different about these people.
And "I don't believe in God. I don't think I could ever believe in God. The world is so horrible."
And I felt like "I don't believe that I deserved to be sent to Hell.
And I don't think a loving God would send me to Hell."
And I remember at one point I asked Shawna about that specifically and she told me
"It's not that the Lord is condemning you.
Instead, what you do ...we're headed there anyway and the Lord is ready and waiting to save you.
And He loves you so much more than you could ever imagine!
And He wants to know you.
And I remember thinking like "Yeah, okay, whatever, ha-ha-ha-ha!"
And then in the year 2001 <2011> I just kind of hit a wall.
I was doing a lot of drugs (Shawna: It's not 2001) and really thinking about...ending it?
And I thought "Well, maybe I can give this Christianity thing a try 'cause, like, I've never done that before, right?"
And I appreciate the rules, if you will.
"I can't believe in God but I'll do that.
I'll go to church.
Sure!"
So, I went to church on a Sunday.
And I was, like, singing and I'm like "This is kinda weird."
And I'm like "Maybe I could try praying. I don't know. I've never done that before."
So I did.
And I was like "Lord, if you are real show yourself to me right now!
And I promise that I'll live every day for the rest of my life for you and I'll never go back.
And I will never drink and I'll never smoke again.
And I'll just live every day for you."
And He did.
And I could feel it in my body and it was the most real thing I've ever felt.
And I remember leaving with feeling like "I am not the person that I was yesterday."
And I'm so excited to know a God that loves me so much and I'm so excited to serve people that He loves so, so much.
So that's my story.
I'm three years deep in my faith now.
I recently moved to Nashville and Nashville is in the Bible Belt, if you don't know.
And I've been dealing with some different things, I guess.
Moving out of a place that has--moving into a place that has a lot of those, so...
I have some scripture today!
Pulling it up!
What verse is it?
Yeah, okay!
I'm gonna read Luke 10:17.
And I'm gonna read from The Message!
I know, I know!
It's easy for me to understand!
Ya'll got the Bible app?
It's free!
Yeah!
So this is right after Jesus has revealed who He is and He says "I'm going to send my disciples
out in two and you're going to work miracles for me and you're going to help people
know me and see how good I am."
Luke 10:17: "The seventy came back triumphant.
"Master, even the demons danced to your tune!"
Jesus said, "I know.
I saw Satan fall, a bolt of lightning out of the sky.
See what I've given you?
Safe passage as you walk on snakes and scorpions, and protection from every assault of the Enemy.
No one can put a hand on you.
All the same, the great triumph is not in your authority over evil, but in God's authority
over you and presence with you.
Not what you do for God but what God does for you—that's the agenda for rejoicing."
I find that to be very, very relevant in my own life.
As a YouTuber, and as a person, it's so very easy to get wrapped up in your work and (?) and worldly things.
Especially in YouTube. How many people like you? How many people admire you?
And especially, in a number of places--How many Twitter followers do I have?
Are the people responding well to my art?
And do people recognize that I am creative?
And that passage is about remembering that the Lord loves you
not based on what you do but just on creating you.
Because He loves you so, so much!
And He rejoices when you can do things for His Kingdom.
But whether or not you fail or succeed, His love is not based on that, you know?
And it's easy for me to get wrapped up in, like "Oh, I didn't say what I should have
said to that person but, like, I could have told him about my testimony!
But I was afraid that they wouldn't like me!
And then I feel like "Ah, Lord, I've let you down!
Now I'm not worth as much!"
And that's just not the reality.
And I think it's important to remember that when you feel down on yourself, that you're
not doing enough, that...the Lord still loves you so, so much!
And that is what I wanted to share!
That's awesome!
All right!
I'm gonna stand up 'cause I'm a little bit more animated!
So, one of the awesome things about Team Impact and what we get to do when go speak life into
people that we might normally not cross our paths with is to be able to encourage ya'll.
But, believe it or not, scripture is very encouraging!
The most important thing that God talks about in the Bible is His love!
And if you spend time in scripture you'll understand how important love is to all of us.
So I do want to share a scripture with you.
And, but, I want this to be encouraging to everybody here.
Ya'll understand? Like this is important.
We wanted to do this to be able to share with you guys.
Romans 10:13 is probably one of my favorite scriptures in the Bible.
'Cause Romans 10:13 talks about "anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
It doesn't say "someone," it doesn't say "you know, I'm going to have a select few" but
"anyone who calls upon the name of the Lord shall be saved."
That means it doesn't matter where you live, how much money you have.
It doesn't matter what color your skin is.
If you request that relationship with Christ, who's waiting there to accept you in with
open arms, then he's going to accept you.
Now that's like the best news in the Bible.
I'm telling you it's like...it doesn't matter.
There's some people and it might be out here because I was this way one time.
You might feel that you've done something so bad in your past that God can't love you.
Tessa kinda touched on that.
Like you might have felt that you're just, like, condemned.
But let me remind you--everybody knows John 3:16 right here, right?
Raise your hand if you heard John 3:16, the most popular verse in the Bible.
Who's followed it up?
You know what John 3:17 says?
This is the important part.
When you start feeling that God's condemning you or God's a condemning God
and not a loving God it says it right there.
And it clears your mind that God sent His Son not in the world to condemn the world
but that the world through Him might be saved.
You all understand that?
That's telling you right there that you don't have to worry about that feeling of condemnation.
And if you call upon Him He says it.
He will accept you.
But you have to be willing.
Look, every single one of us is a sinner out here.
Nobody's perfect, even the Christians that are here.
But don't get this twisted.
You just--I'm a sinner standing up here just like you are and I'm in the ministry.
But God says "It's okay. I'll love you anyway. I can use you."
Okay?
Understand the power of that.
Understand the power that God uses people that don't think that they're worthy enough
to get His message out there.
Which is awesome! I mean that's total love!
I hope if there's somebody out here that doesn't and has never experienced God's grace...
And if you don't know what grace is it's that unconditional love that you can't do
--like Tessa said--there's nothing that you can do but Ephesians 2: 8-9 says "It's by grace through
faith that we've been saved and not by acts of our own.
So shall no man boast."
It doesn't matter how good you do, how much you...
You know you can spend time in the homeless shelter.
You can give money to different charities.
It's not through your own acts.
It's through faith by grace because God loved us enough to do what He did, which we'll talk about.
Guys, ya'll gotta--I hope if you haven't experienced grace that ya'll are here with an open heart
and an open mind. I really do.
30 years ago...almost 30 years ago...I learned of God's grace.
I'll get kinda--go into my testimony just a little bit.
But I was sitting at Bible class and in a small Christian school and I listened to my
pastor talk about a God who sent His only Son.
Think about that if once you're a parent, or if you're a parent already if you're here,
the sacrifice of sending your son to live the perfect, sinless life that none of us could live.
Not one of us can live it. We're all sinners.
Scripture says we're born dead in our trespasses.
We're all born into sin.
But God also gives us free will.
People mistake that with God condemning us why would he just bear us in (?).
God doesn't make robots.
He want you to want that relationship with Him.
Ya'll understand that?
He wants you to want that.
He's making you free will.
If God just made everybody the same there would be no purpose for the sacrifice He would give.
But I learned that He sent His Son to live that perfect sinless life that we couldn't
live and to die a sacrificial death.
The most brutal death that you could imagine.
But the cool thing is on the third day He proved that He was God
by raising and turning dead flesh into life!
Grasp a hold of that concept, guys.
That's that sacrifice that He made for us.
'Cause He knew we wouldn't be able to that.
Remember, Jesus was the only person who could ever resist any temptation known to man. And He did it.
And that was not for Him.
It was for us.
That's powerful and that's...that's love, guys.
That's that grace! That's that unconditional love!
I hope that ya'll have experienced it.
Because there is that time where, if you are Christian and you do have that relationship...
Tessa went through some really cool stuff too.
I want you all to understand something.
People have a horrible perception of Christians now based upon labels.
But let me explain something to you.
This is religion.
Religion is killing people's view of Jesus.
You know, there's a scripture...there's a story in the Bible where these four men took
their paralyzed friend to Jesus.
Do ya'll remember that?
They used...they harnessed ropes up and cut a hole in the roof to lower him to get closer to Jesus.
At the time Jesus...pay attention, the Christians over here...Jesus was surrounded by the religious
scholars of the day.
The people that knew religion the most.
But guess what, the person needed Jesus the most was being blocked out by those guys.
Those guys wouldn't let him get to Jesus.
That's kinda the way religion has turned in the United States today.
Look, I'm gonna show you something.
Religion's way out here. You hear a lot of people say "I'm religious."
Tessa talked about the Bible saying, you know "You can't do enough good things to earn your way into Heaven.
Okay?
Religion's out here.
I want to tell you something.
There's a lot of "I go to the gym religiously. I eat religiously." This is religion.
It doesn't get you into Heaven. It's like a check list for most people that aren't Christians.
They like "Man, you know I go to church! I read my Bible!" "Do you have Christ in your life?"
"No, but I do good things!"
But there's a lot of people that live their life like that right now.
Religion's here! That's not what saves you!
Relationship saves you!
It's that relationship that God wants to have with you. He's just waiting!
He loves every single one of us more than we deserve!
Let me tell you, a lot of people here that are in the YouTube world have a powerful stance to use that platform...
There's no reason why--there is a specific reason why you might have 100,000 followers,
40,000 followers...even if you had one follower.
God's given you a platform to speak life into other people.
We have a job and a duty as Christians to plant the seed. You don't have to force feed anybody anything.
God's...God is the water to the vine, right?
You plant the seed. He takes it over from there. You understand?
Some people think it's too "I don't know how to share scripture with you. I don't know. I can't speak well."
God's given each and every one of you a platform, whatever if may be, through music, through
strength sports, through whatever it is He's given you the platform.
But He also expects you and you...you should be humbled that he gave you that opportunity,
the talent, whatever it may be, to go and spread His Word.
Everybody look at your thumb. Everybody look at your thumb. What, the planet's like seven billion people now?
Every one of us has...there's nobody that has the same thumbprint as us.
You know that that means? Huh? We're each born with a unique purpose.
Every single one of us has a purpose. Every single one of us has a...I would say an obligation.
Because I'm seriously humbled that the Lord chooses for me, a sinner, to go out and share His Word.
But guess what? I've...anybody that will open their ears us I'm willing to talk to.
And I'm not the best speaker anyway. It's 17 years of being a cop.
I'm more direct!
And I want you to know something. That grace is incredible!
Team Impact...and this will kind of bring it in to some of ya'll...Team Impact, when
we get announced, they start talking about "Your Brian Vickers five time World Power-lifting
Champion and Pro Strongman" they're classifying and labeling us.
We go through life as teenagers, as adults sometimes, we're grasping onto titles.
We're trying to grasp things that don't really matter.
Like, because we're sports driven, when they announce us they're putting all of our accolades up there.
But let me tell you something. Titles don't define my life. And they shouldn't define yours either.
The only title I care about is being a child of God. And that was something that I couldn't earn.
That's something that was earned for me. That price was paid a long time ago for me.
I want to encourage each and every single one of ya'll.
If ya'll haven't...if there hasn't been that finite moment that ya'll remember that Jesus
came into your life and He spoke to you, if there hasn't been that moment that you've accepted
Him in, that you understood that He sent His Son to die for you died a sacrificial death,
and also rose again on the third day proving that He was God, if there hasn't been that
time, let me tell you...now's...we're not gonna let you go...this ain't just an ordinary Bible study.
But in a second we're gonna give you that opportunity. Okay?
Because, guess what, tomorrow's not promised, guys. Next week's not promised. Next month's not promised.
Your next breath...we're living on borrowed time. Your next breath isn't promised.
I mean I could die 30 years from now or 30 seconds from now.
But the good news is that I know when I die, I don't know about you, but when I die I know
I'm going to a real place called Heaven!
Because whether you believe it or not: Heaven and Hell exist.
And I talked to somebody that used to "Well, I can't see it, I don't know about it."
Well, guess what? If I took you...if you told me "Hey, Brian, I don't believe in gravity."
But I took you up there to the top of that building and pushed you off?
Just 'cause you didn't believe in gravity you think that's gonna save you?
You can believe it or not but it's there.
So I would encourage you if something speaks to your heart tonight...
I'm gonna let Lane share a little scripture real quick.
And I want to encourage you, everybody here, to not be ashamed.
I stand before you--and I didn't know if everybody likes to pray--
but I stand before you unashamed. I'll go and spread the Gospel with anybody out there.
Anybody! I don't care if they want to hear me or not.
They're welcome to...(?)...I'm gonna keep going around telling them how great Jesus is.
But I'm unashamed and you need to be unashamed.
If you don't have that...if you don't have that relationship with Christ, you can have it!
We'll give you the opportunity in a little bit. We'll even talk you through it.
And a second after Lane shares I'll come back up and we'll do what's called a prayer of salvation.
If somebody feels--nobody's going to be looking around--we'll all keep it close and keep it tight knit.
But we're gonna give you the opportunity and I and Lane will lead ya'll through that prayer
because we don't want you to leave here and not have that relationship with Christ.
And know that you want that and not give you the opportunity to do it.
And most people don't know how. And then also we'll talk about how to grow in your faith.
I'ma let Lane come up real quick...
Shawna's got something to say. Okay, Shawna, I'm sorry!
Shawna's gonna say something and then we'll kinda wrap it up in a little bit.
Hi, guys! I'm Shawna. I make videos on YouTube under the name Nanalew.
I just wanna talk to you guys a little bit about sort of shifting directions here.
About how many people would say that right now you're a Christian
or you're sort of feeling out the Christian life?
Let's see those hands. Don't feel bad if you're not! It's okay! I just wanna see hands here.
How many people are making things, whether you're a Christian or not, you're making things?
YouTube videos? Other things? I want to speak to you guys in particular.
Because I'm a Christian and I make things.
And I get a lot of other Christians sometimes telling me that what I make needs to be a certain way because I'm a Christian.
I need to be always explicitly telling people the Gospel and I need to be doing this or I need to be doing that.
And I want to talk to you guys that maybe are in the arts, maybe are feeling discouraged.
I know that Tessa as a songwriter might have felt this way. And we've talked about this before.
Being Christians is to not feel like you're bottled in.
Like your talent has being just shoved into a box.
That you can only sing worship songs or you can only make videos about Jesus.
And I want to tell you that because God is creative and He gave us stories to tell!
Just a view of the world around you, whether you believe in God or not...
Whether you believe in God or not, if there's a God here, we know that he is creative.
'Cause look at the world, look at us, look at the things that are happening and the stories we tell.
And I remember that I was once told by a creative person that "It's okay for you to just be
creative and be the best that you can be and be making good things because that is Christian!"
It's Christian to be making good things!
You don't have to always be whacking someone with the Bible all the time!
That doesn't always get people to feel like they can talk to you about things!
But I think a lot of you guys here who don't know about much about Christianity, maybe
you're here because you've watched Lane, or me, or Tessa, and you felt like "Hey, I can
talk to them and maybe they have something that we can talk about with Christianity because
someone over there likes speaking on a pulpit. I don't feel comfortable talking to them!"
And I feel like that's a big part of my calling as a Christian creator is to make good things
that are infused with the passion that God's given me. And obviously being responsible like
sharing messages that are in line with my faith but not feeling like I have to go and
make videos that are just about the Gospel.
So I just wanted to encourage you guys 'cause I know it's overwhelming and Christians in the arts don't ever hear that!
We don't ever hear that at our church! We don't hear that from our leaders! We're made to regress in arts and not grow!
And I just want to encourage you that that's not Biblical! It comes from a place of love in the church.
They don't understand it. And you just have to live your Christian life as best you can being an example.
Just wanted to say thank you guys for coming today and if any of you guys want to talk
about some of this stuff we'd love to talk to you!
We're gonna have a public Q&A where you can ask questions to us publicly if you want
us to discuss it so it can benefit everybody.
If you want to come to one of us after and talk privately that's totally fine.
And I also wanted to put this out there that if you're struggling with doubt you don't
believe that there might be a God? You don't feel like you could ever believe that like Tessa?
And that's totally fine! That's part of our humanity.
Not everybody hears about God and and can immediately believe it.
You don't have to feel ashamed of that.
He doesn't love you any less because you are confused or you're cynical and I feel like
that's something that people need to be told.
That sometimes it takes a while for you to get to the place where you're ready and that's okay.
You don't feel like you're ready today?
Please don't feel pressured to come up and say "I'll be a Christian"!
You can do your best to feel your way out. And like he said there is an urgency.
We want you to obviously have the chance to experience God's grace.
But we also realize that a lot of people are just learning about it and just figuring it out.
Trying to feel it out. And that's okay.
I grew up in a Christian home. My parents are wonderful parents! Basically had the perfect childhood.
My Dad's a pastor. My Mom would support him through the years. And my Dad became a teacher.
He got his PhD and he's been teaching and preaching ever since.
So I have a very strong Biblical, theological background.
But when it came into...for my life, like, emotionally, spiritually believing that God
was here and able to work in my life that was hard for me.
So I went through a time when in my teens... 17, 18, 19 where I was depressed and I wasn't sure if God existed.
And I was angry at Him for not making this easy for me.
And I was mad at my self because believed intellectually that He existed.
I just want to say that if you're in that place where you sort of feel like maybe intellectually believe but emotionally you don't?
I just want to encourage you and say that God loves you! Outside of that he knows what you're going through.
He takes you as you are! And He wants to use you as you are!
And that's something that has really encouraged me because I don't always know how to share
my faith or how to live or what to do in my career. I don't know what I'm doing!
But I know that I can trust God and follow His scripture and rely on Him to work in my life.
And He has worked in my life so much!
No matter how many times I've doubted Him,which is basically EVERY time, He comes through
and He works in my life and He lifts me up every time I ask! So I just wanted to tell you guys that.
I wanted to tell you what a blessing He's been in my life and encourage you to think about it!
Because He has saved me from so much self-loathing and has lifted me up and allowed me to create
things and do things and that I could never do by myself!
So when I stand up and say that God has worked through me and it's by God's power that I
can make anything it's absolutely 100% true!
And I'm so excited for some of you, or all of you, or even one of you to experience the
love that He has and the peace that you can have!
An unshaken peace that cannot be touched by anything anybody says about you or by what you say to yourself!
So I'm just going to invite Lane now or anyone who wants to stand up just to continue.
And again if you have any questions to be thinking about that and we'll see if we can answer publicly or privately.
If you want us to pray with you we'd love to do that and I think we're gonna pray together as a group as well after.
Thanks, Shawna.
I'm just gonna keep it short. For those of you guys that might not be Christians.
If you give it a chance, if you are open to it like "Hey, maybe this is possible" I promise
you, I give you my word as a man, it will change your life completely!
Like I said I used to be completely, 110% doubtful of it. Didn't believe it whatsoever.
Soon as I started giving it a chance I started seeing things and understanding more and
if you give it a chance it will change your life completely. I promise you! I promise you!
I just want to...Romans 1 is, like, my favorite verse. I just want to say it real quick.
Actually...
...better version on the app.
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies
as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship.
Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."
My favorite part is that "do not conform to the patterns of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind."
A lot of you guys are at the age, I mean we all are really, that you kinda decide what
road you go down, who you're gonna hang out with, what kind of stuff you're gonna get into.
Whether that's--
...the road you want to go down it's going to be awesome. That's all I have to say.
And it's gonna be sweet! Take my word for it! Give it a chance! Check it out!
Brian's gonna say a prayer real quick if that's cool with you guys.
And, seriously, thank you guys all for coming! And we'd all love to talk to you after too. God bless you guys!
Alright, so one more time.
Just because I kind--normally with the Bible study you wouldn't get this...
in depth with what we're about to do but I kinda felt it--I told Lane that God really laid it on my heart
to give the opportunity. I think we need to.
'Cause there might be somebody here that God spoke to right now.
That might be that moment that God, like everybody's here not by accident.
Everybody's here because there's a purpose.
And God wants you to hear the words that the people have shared today with you guys.
What I'm gonna do is I'd like to offer the opportunity if there's somebody here that's
never accepted Christ I'd like to offer that opportunity to them.
And it's not from us. It's not from Lane. It's nothing that we can do 'cause none of us can save you guys.
And I want to tell you something that I always tell people that it doesn't take a real man
to pull a truck and break baseball bats like we do at Team Impact.
But it takes a real man to and woman to stand up for God. Especially nowadays.
And, like I said, this whole thing we wanted to be encouraging to you guys.
But what I want to do is kinda offer the opportunity...Now I understand that the first thing ya'll are gonna do is be like
"Oh, well I don't want nobody to know that I don't have a relationship with Christ."
Well, right now it doesn't matter what an...It never matters what anybody else thinks of you.
The only thing that matters is how you're living your life in your relationship with Christ.
'Cause you're gonna go through life and not everybody's gonna like it. I hate to give you all that bad news right now.
But the good news is that Christ is there waiting for you to have the personal relationship with Him.
So in a second I'm gonna ask ya'll to bow your heads. I kinda want to get a--and nobody's gonna look around.
I'll make sure of it because you know if anybody looked around I'd pop 'em on top of the head!
But I would like ya'll to bow your heads and I'm gonna ask one thing.
The thing I'm gonna ask is before we say this prayer I want you to slip your hand up if
you don't have that relationship with Christ but you want it. Do you want that opportunity now?
You remember what I said is "Our next breath isn't guaranteed."
Don't leave here if you feel God's speaking to you and you want that relationship.
You don't have the relationship with Him? Don't leave now! Now's the perfect time! Better than ever.
'Cause like I said you're...we're living on borrowed time. There's no guarantee in our lives.
I've sadly seen people pass from my life that didn't have the relationship with Christ.
And I don't want ya'll to be not afforded the opportunity to do it and so I'm gonna
count to three in a second but I want everybody, if you can right now, just to bow your heads. Close your eyes.
With nobody looking around please--only me--I would ask if there's somebody out there in
this group, and God's speaking to your heart, and you've been able to be touched by His
grace, and understand He just wants a relationship with you, that you know that you're worthy
and He loves you, and He's just waiting for you to come home to Him, if that person's
you and you want us to say that prayer with you I want you to slip your hand up when I count to three.
Please don't be ashamed. Nobody's looking around. It's just me.
One...two...three.
Amen. Thank you, thank you so much! Ya'll put your hands down. Wow! There was quite a few!
So just so they don't feel out of place everybody else if ya'll would join in.
Now listen, guys, the ones that raised your hands...ya'll keep your heads bowed.
The ones that raised your hands there's no special words or power in these words that I'm saying.
But if they do represent the cry of your heart and they do represent you wanting that personal relationship with God and that's all He asks.
So what I will, just so we can encourage the ones that raised their hands, if everybody
together will join in with the prayer to encourage 'em.
So I'm gonna go ahead and say the prayer. If everybody will kinda join in:
"Dear Heavenly Father, Lord, I ask you into my life. I realize that I'm a sinner in need of a savior.
Lord, I thank you for sending your Son to die that sacrificial death and cleanse me of my sins.
Lord, I believe on the third day that you rose Jesus again proving that you are God.
Lord, I love you. Lord, I thank you. I ask you to come into my heart in Jesus' name. Amen."
Everybody give the Lord a round of applause!
Alright!
Now...(?)...there were some hands up.
And I'm so thankful that we were able to come and share this with you guys!
Now I'm gonna ask you to something a little bit--I'm gonna ask you one more thing--for the ones that...the ones that raised your hands.
I truly believe that if that meant, if that was the cry of your heart, you meant those
words, that you now have have a place in Heaven for your eternal life. That's amazing!
And I'm so proud of each and every one of you that raised your hands!
But I kinda want to do something!
I'm gonna ask again, the ones that raised your hands, and remember we're all family
here, but I'm gonna ask you on the count of three I want you all to come forward and I'm gonna tell you why.
I know you're going "uh." I see some people gripping that grass real tight.
But, listen, this is the only time in scripture that...the only time in the Bible that scripture
says that there's rejoicing going on in Heaven.
So let me tell you something: The angels are partying big time right now!
Because I saw a lot of hands! Okay? But what I would like to do and let me tell you why.
Jesus wants me to accept Him into our life because He expects us to take that public admission of faith.
It takes faith to take that step forward in front of your peers. It's not easy. But, guess what?
If that really was the cry of your heart, you meant that prayer, then I believe that
a team of wild horses would not hold you back from coming up here!
And the only thing that I want to do in bringing you up here is I want everybody to clap for you.
I want you to know that now you're comforted! Now there's nothing that life, that the devil can throw at you.
God is better! God is bigger and God's stronger!
The devil's already defeated and he knows that! So he's trying to take as many people with him as he wants.
But, guess what, I want to encourage you to come up here because I'd like to pray for ya'll specifically.
That would mean a lot to me.
I want to be able to see that ya'll are willing to take a stand because if you can't take
three steps out here for God then how are you going to take one step out there when
you get away from the people that are encourage you and they care about you?
Plus I kinda want to talk to you about how to grow in your faith.
Little three things that will kinda encourage you to do because now's the greatest day of your life!
Now's your spiritual birthday...the guys that raised their hand and said that prayer.
So I'd really like to encourage you to come forward. They're just gonna clap.
Please! I encourage you to please do that! Okay?
And, so on the count of three everybody's trying to kinda come give a round of applause.
I'm gonna let them come up here and then we can pray for ya'll together as a group.
And I would like ya'll to come up here. It's just, it's very important to me.
I want to encourage you. (And me!) Nobody's gonna make fun of--yeah.
But nobody's gonna make fun of you! Trust me! Nobody's gonna make fun of you 'cause I'm here.
But on the count of three I want to invite you up with us. Let us pray for you 'cause there were a lot of hands, guys.
Please don't be embarrassed to come up here. Look at me! I'm standing up here proud and unashamed.
So on the count of three I want everybody else to give a round of applause.
I want them to come up here and we're gonna pray for you real quick. Okay?
One...two...three!

[2017 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION] Meet the Candidate #4 Yoo Seong-min - Duration: 10:23.
Yoo Seong-min, presidential nominee for Bareun Party running in South Korea's 2017 presidential
election, thank you for squeezing time out of your absolutely hectic campaigning schedule.
I'm going to be very direct with you.
From an objective point of you, you're not running a very easy race here.
For a whole host of reasons in this country at the moment, it is not an easy time to be
a conservative running in the presidential election.
Why are you running for President of the Republic of Korea?
It is true that conservative politicians in Korea are going through a rough time because
of the recent presidential impeachment.
But, it's also very important that we give hope to the Korean people by showing them
a new way of being conservative.
As the presidential nominee of Bareun Party, I would like to show the Korean people that
there is new hope for the conservatives.
That is why I am running for President this time.
It has long been proven that Korea's progressive politicians cannot build a strong, stable
national security; lack competence in running the economy.
That goes for the candidates running in this year's election as well.
I believe that my policy strategy of being strong on national security and reform-minded
on economic issues is the path conservatives should take in the long term and my run for
the presidential office is the first step toward that direction.
I think I have a winning chance if the majority of the people agree with the new values I've
proposed.
The Korean peninsula at the moment is in the global spotlight.
There's been a rapid escalation of tension in this part of the world.
Continuous provocations by the North Korean regime.
What is your policy pledge vis-a-vis Pyongyang?
And more broadly your foreign or diplomatic policy plan?
The biggest problem when it comes to North Korea is its nuclear and missile program.
If it weren't for the North's nuclear weapons and missiles, the South Korean military could
easily win dominance using conventional weapons.
The grave threat from North Korea stems from the asymmetric threat of nuclear weapons and
missiles.
Therefore, should I become president of this nation, the main focus of my foreign and security
policy will be on the elimination of nuclear weapons.
It's pressure and sanctions rather than dialogue that we need to deal with the North Korean
problem today.
It's not enough for South Korea to act independently in pressuring and sanctioning North Korea.
We must work with the U.S. based on our ironclad alliance and negotiate on common strategies
in dealing with North Korea's nuclear and missile programs.
Another very important country is China.
China had been uncooperative and rather lenient in carrying out UN Security Council sanctions
on North Korea until quite recently.
Fortunately, the Trump administration has placed utmost priority on resolving North
Korea's nuclear and missile programs and I believe if the U.S. and South Korea could
together persuade China to join in on pressuring and sanctioning North Korea, it could lead
to resolving the regime's nuclear issue.
We could then corner the North's Kim Jong-un to make the choice of holding on to its nuclear
weapons or face a regime collapse.
When North Korea begins the abandoning process of its nuclear weapons and missiles is when
I'd be willing to start a dialogue or consider economic cooperation with Pyongyang.
What is the first thing you will do as president?
First and foremost, national security.
A crack in national security means life or death.
The nation's economy is on edge as well.
There have rarely been times where we've had crises on both fronts.
Should I become president, I will immediately review and establish the South Korean government's
stance on dealing with North Korea's nuclear and missile programs, its provocations and
meet with U.S. President Donald Trump and reach an agreement on that front.
Then, I will convince the nations surrounding the Korean peninsula including China, Japan,
and Russia to join in on our efforts and focus on getting as many countries on board as possible.
Next is the economy.
The last time we saw an economic crisis of this size was during the 1997 financial crisis.
Therefore, I will concentrate on overcoming the economic crisis.
I will spend the first year to year and a half of my term solving these two problems.
As soon as there is some stability on those fronts, I will carry out fundamental reforms
on long overdue issues such as low growth, low birthrate, and economic polarization.
This is my blueprint.
The Korean economy is at a point where we need to be concerned about both growth and
welfare.
But, of the major presidential candidates, I'm the only one with a balanced concern for
both growth and welfare.
Liberty Korea Party's candidate's pledge is an outdated policy centered on conglomerates;
candidates from the Democratic Party and People's Party only highlight welfare and distribution.
What the Korean economy needs at this point is a recovery momentum for growth.
That momentum will come from entrepreneurial thinking and innovation at SMEs, startups,
and venture firms.
It's what I call innovative growth and it has everything to do with startups, entrepreneurship,
cutting red tape, small and mid-sized enterprises, and science and technology.
The success will depend on how consistent and persistent the president pushes forward
with the plan.
On the other hand, I always emphasize growth while sharing.
Polarization, inequality, unfair practice are serious problems not only to the Korean
society but to the economy as well.
We've gotten to the point where we are concerned whether this country as a nation can even
create a single community.
In order to solve these issues, we must break free of this conglomerates-centered economic
system and help SMEs and startups prosper.
Another big concern in Korea today are temporary jobs in the labor market; disparity and disproportionality
in education and child welfare based on income; and social welfare.
The key to my idea of new conservative politics lies on how much the new government can make
and push forward with policies that address these problems; policies for the average,
ordinary people struggling everyday to make their ends meet.
So, should I become President, I plan to implement balanced policies promoting both growth as
well as welfare.
Why does the Republic of Korea need Yoo Seong-min as president in 2017?
This is a new era for the Republic of Korea.
The core value of this new era is stated in Article 1 of the Constitution: The Republic
of Korea shall be a democratic republic.
I envisage a just society and a warm community.
The reason I've been in politics is because I believe in creating a community where there
is no disparity, no prejudice between the have's and have-not's.
I believe in reviving our economy, picking up our recovery momentum, resolving the low
birthrate, creating a just and fair society where there is no more beneficiaries of corruption
like ex-President Park's longtime friend, Choi Soon-sil.
Achieving a fair, just and equal society, finding the most important value there; creating
a warm community and above all, fostering leaders that uphold the Constitution and abide
by the laws and overcoming the economic and security crises.
These are things that I am confident I can do better than any other running in this election.
Charting new path, new hope not only for the conservatives, but
for all of the Korean people.
Absolutely.
That is my conviction.
I strongly believe in new hope for the conservatives and when conservatives change, the entire
nation can change.
Therefore, if I could become new hope for the healthy conservative, I can become new
hope for the Republic of Korea.
