00:29:14.010 --> 00:29:16.846
19 months after losing his leg ,parker became the first
00:29:16.980 --> 00:29:17.580
,parker became the first division one college baseball
00:29:17.714 --> 00:29:18.281
Division one college baseball player to play a game with a
00:29:18.415 --> 00:29:21.584
Player to play a game with a prosthetic leg.
00:29:21.718 --> 00:29:22.052
Prosthetic leg. oh no moment his family will
00:29:22.185 --> 00:29:26.289
Oh no moment his family will never forget.
00:29:26.423 --> 00:29:29.960
Never forget. >> i just burst into tears like
00:29:30.093 --> 00:29:30.927
>> i just burst into tears like you could just see from very
00:29:31.061 --> 00:29:33.763
You could just see from very first time he sent a wheelchair
00:29:33.897 --> 00:29:34.564
First time he sent a wheelchair to that moment first base that
00:29:34.698 --> 00:29:37.367
To that moment first base that you never one thought he was
00:29:37.500 --> 00:29:38.068
You never one thought he was going to walk again.
00:29:38.201 --> 00:29:38.668
Going to walk again. to see him walk to first base
00:29:38.802 --> 00:29:40.437
To see him walk to first base was a miracle.
00:29:40.570 --> 00:29:40.904
Was a miracle. i mean it was this powerful
00:29:41.037 --> 00:29:44.708
I mean it was this powerful moment just to prove people
00:29:44.841 --> 00:29:45.408
Moment just to prove people that i'm still here.
00:29:45.542 --> 00:29:48.244
That i'm still here. i'm still parker.
00:29:48.378 --> 00:29:48.745
I'm still parker. i'm still a baseball player.
00:29:48.878 --> 00:29:49.446
I'm still a baseball player. i'm just even though difficult
00:29:49.579 --> 00:29:51.881
I'm just even though difficult things happen in life adversity
00:29:52.015 --> 00:29:52.649
Things happen in life adversity and she doesn't mean just to
00:29:52.782 --> 00:29:55.185
And she doesn't mean just to give up because if you just
00:29:55.318 --> 00:29:55.885
Give up because if you just continue to work hard.
00:29:56.019 --> 00:29:56.486
Continue to work hard. his playing is greater than
00:29:56.619 --> 00:29:59.055
His playing is greater than ours.
00:29:59.189 --> 00:29:59.356
Ours. >> first of all, god never
00:29:59.489 --> 00:30:00.123
>> first of all, god never leaves.
00:30:00.256 --> 00:30:02.359
Leaves. he's always with us.
00:30:02.492 --> 00:30:02.926
He's always with us. even when you feel that he's
00:30:03.059 --> 00:30:03.860
Even when you feel that he's not and you feel alone he's
00:30:03.994 --> 00:30:06.730
Not and you feel alone he's still there.
00:30:06.863 --> 00:30:07.163
Still there. he's still.
00:30:07.297 --> 00:30:10.200
He's still. >> he's carrying you through
00:30:10.333 --> 00:30:10.900
>> he's carrying you through it.
00:30:11.034 --> 00:30:11.167
It. our rather his plan greater
00:30:11.301 --> 00:30:14.037
Our rather his plan greater than mine because i thought i
00:30:14.170 --> 00:30:14.738
Than mine because i thought i had my whole life planned out
00:30:14.871 --> 00:30:17.240
Had my whole life planned out go to college and go to the mlb
00:30:17.374 --> 00:30:18.108
Go to college and go to the mlb and just be a great player but
00:30:18.241 --> 00:30:21.578
And just be a great player but was much bigger than just
00:30:21.711 --> 00:30:22.278
Was much bigger than just baseball.
00:30:22.412 --> 00:30:22.645
Baseball. god's always on that.
00:30:22.779 --> 00:30:25.181
God's always on that. even in your darkest times or
00:30:25.315 --> 00:30:29.085
Even in your darkest times or in the valley that he's still
00:30:29.219 --> 00:30:29.819
In the valley that he's still working.
00:30:29.953 --> 00:30:30.153
Working. you may not see it at the time
00:30:30.286 --> 00:30:33.356
You may not see it at the time and it may be very foggy to you
00:30:33.490 --> 00:30:34.224
And it may be very foggy to you at the time but that his mercy
00:30:34.357 --> 00:30:36.960
At the time but that his mercy is still there, that he still
00:30:37.093 --> 00:30:37.694
Is still there, that he still has a plan for you.
00:30:37.827 --> 00:30:40.897
Has a plan for you. he's giving you that trial just
00:30:41.031 --> 00:30:41.664
He's giving you that trial just so you can lean closer to him.
00:30:41.798 --> 00:30:44.534
So you can lean closer to him. >> when trials come upon you
00:30:44.667 --> 00:30:48.138
>> when trials come upon you what do you do?
00:30:48.271 --> 00:30:48.638
What do you do? and and i think this is a
00:30:48.772 --> 00:30:51.741
And and i think this is a common story and we heard it
00:30:51.875 --> 00:30:52.442
Common story and we heard it from both of parker's parents
00:30:52.575 --> 00:30:55.445
From both of parker's parents were angry at god.
00:30:55.578 --> 00:30:56.079
Were angry at god. they're wondering why or why
00:30:56.212 --> 00:30:59.649
They're wondering why or why he's always done the right
00:30:59.783 --> 00:31:00.316
He's always done the right thing.
00:31:00.450 --> 00:31:00.617
Thing. he's lived a great life.
00:31:00.750 --> 00:31:03.787
He's lived a great life. you know why?
00:31:03.920 --> 00:31:04.254
You know why? why weren't you there?
00:31:04.387 --> 00:31:04.854
Why weren't you there? to protect him?
00:31:04.988 --> 00:31:07.590
To protect him? >> now when you look at
00:31:07.724 --> 00:31:08.558
>> now when you look at causation, you know the bible
00:31:08.691 --> 00:31:12.162
Causation, you know the bible is quite clear that the time
00:31:12.295 --> 00:31:12.862
Is quite clear that the time and chance happened to us all
00:31:12.996 --> 00:31:15.365
And chance happened to us all and so in god's universe
00:31:15.498 --> 00:31:18.835
And so in god's universe accidents can happen.
00:31:18.968 --> 00:31:19.402
Accidents can happen. >> god didn't put the boat boat
00:31:19.536 --> 00:31:20.203
>> god didn't put the boat boat into reverse.
00:31:20.336 --> 00:31:23.073
Into reverse. >> so blaming him for accidents
00:31:23.206 --> 00:31:26.943
>> so blaming him for accidents is probably not a good
00:31:27.077 --> 00:31:27.544
Is probably not a good theological position to take
00:31:27.677 --> 00:31:30.847
Theological position to take when you look at what's the
00:31:30.980 --> 00:31:31.614
When you look at what's the solution for it.
00:31:31.748 --> 00:31:32.082
Solution for it. >> well just look to jesus and
00:31:32.215 --> 00:31:35.718
>> well just look to jesus and here's something i rarely hear
00:31:35.852 --> 00:31:36.453
Here's something i rarely hear preached it's out of mark
00:31:36.586 --> 00:31:39.622
Preached it's out of mark chapter nine verse 49 it's in
00:31:39.756 --> 00:31:40.390
Chapter nine verse 49 it's in your bible to everyone.
00:31:40.523 --> 00:31:43.526
Your bible to everyone. all right, underline part.
00:31:43.660 --> 00:31:46.596
All right, underline part. >> everyone will be seasoned
00:31:46.729 --> 00:31:50.500
>> everyone will be seasoned with fire.
00:31:50.633 --> 00:31:50.867
With fire. now that is a hard verse to
00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:54.270
Now that is a hard verse to take.
00:31:54.404 --> 00:31:54.571
Take. in this world you will have
00:31:54.704 --> 00:31:55.338
In this world you will have trouble.
00:31:55.472 --> 00:31:58.608
Trouble. this is a promise from jesus.
00:31:58.741 --> 00:31:59.476
This is a promise from jesus. both of these verses from him.
00:31:59.609 --> 00:32:02.312
Both of these verses from him. he's warning us that life is
00:32:02.445 --> 00:32:06.116
He's warning us that life is going to be hard because in
00:32:06.249 --> 00:32:06.850
Going to be hard because in this fallen world we're going
00:32:06.983 --> 00:32:10.720
This fallen world we're going to have a hard time.
00:32:10.854 --> 00:32:11.287
To have a hard time. that wasn't god's original
00:32:11.421 --> 00:32:13.923
That wasn't god's original plan.
00:32:14.057 --> 00:32:14.224
Plan. >> his dream was for us to live
00:32:14.357 --> 00:32:15.325
>> his dream was for us to live in a in a garden and he would
00:32:15.458 --> 00:32:18.695
In a in a garden and he would come down in the cool of the
00:32:18.828 --> 00:32:19.662
Come down in the cool of the evening and talk with us face
00:32:19.796 --> 00:32:22.132
Evening and talk with us face to face.
00:32:22.265 --> 00:32:22.465
To face. we would have direct connection
00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.902
We would have direct connection and with him there wouldn't be
00:32:26.035 --> 00:32:26.769
And with him there wouldn't be any work, there wouldn't be any
00:32:26.903 --> 00:32:27.604
Any work, there wouldn't be any pain, wouldn't be any disease,
00:32:27.737 --> 00:32:30.006
Pain, wouldn't be any disease, there wouldn't be any death.
00:32:30.140 --> 00:32:33.443
There wouldn't be any death. but we messed that up, didn't
00:32:33.576 --> 00:32:34.210
But we messed that up, didn't we?
00:32:34.344 --> 00:32:34.477
We? and we're god for what we did.
00:32:34.611 --> 00:32:37.580
And we're god for what we did. now maybe you said.
00:32:37.714 --> 00:32:40.850
Now maybe you said. well, i didn't do that.
00:32:40.984 --> 00:32:41.518
Well, i didn't do that. back in our line going all the
00:32:41.651 --> 00:32:44.387
Back in our line going all the way back to adam and eve we
00:32:44.521 --> 00:32:45.155
Way back to adam and eve we messed it up now.
00:32:45.288 --> 00:32:47.590
Messed it up now. >> how do you find solutions
00:32:47.724 --> 00:32:51.361
>> how do you find solutions this fallen world where you
00:32:51.494 --> 00:32:52.028
This fallen world where you will be seasoned with fire
00:32:52.162 --> 00:32:55.165
Will be seasoned with fire while you look to jesus of
00:32:55.298 --> 00:32:59.135
While you look to jesus of blaming him for the problem?
00:32:59.269 --> 00:32:59.836
Blaming him for the problem? ask him the solution.
00:32:59.969 --> 00:33:02.906
Ask him the solution. >> and isn't it wonderful what
00:33:03.039 --> 00:33:03.706
>> and isn't it wonderful what parker did?
00:33:03.840 --> 00:33:06.543
Parker did? i want to live.
00:33:06.676 --> 00:33:07.177
I want to live. that's a great way to approach
00:33:07.310 --> 00:33:10.246
That's a great way to approach .
00:33:10.380 --> 00:33:10.480
. jesus, i want to live.
00:33:10.613 --> 00:33:11.080
Jesus, i want to live. i want to live for you.
00:33:11.214 --> 00:33:13.683
I want to live for you. i want to declare your glory.
00:33:13.816 --> 00:33:14.517
I want to declare your glory. i want to see how your glory
00:33:14.651 --> 00:33:16.853
I want to see how your glory can be revealed in these
00:33:16.986 --> 00:33:17.554
Can be revealed in these horrible circumstances.
00:33:17.687 --> 00:33:21.024
Horrible circumstances. when you have that attitude,
00:33:21.157 --> 00:33:21.724
When you have that attitude, you have that direction.
00:33:21.858 --> 00:33:25.061
You have that direction. you're on the right path
00:33:25.195 --> 00:33:25.895
You're on the right path because the jesus says in this
00:33:26.029 --> 00:33:29.065
Because the jesus says in this world you will have
00:33:29.199 --> 00:33:29.632
World you will have tribulation.
00:33:29.766 --> 00:33:30.033
Tribulation. he gives us some wonderful
