  • 00:10:19.398 --> 00:10:23.235
  • And i remember going home one night,
  • 00:10:23.235 --> 00:10:24.937
  • And i would lay down in the bed with her every night.
  • 00:10:24.937 --> 00:10:26.739
  • We would pray and talk.
  • 00:10:26.739 --> 00:10:28.541
  • And she laid in the bed one night,
  • 00:10:28.541 --> 00:10:30.576
  • And she said, "mama," she said, "where's that spot?"
  • 00:10:30.576 --> 00:10:32.945
  • And i said, "well, it's right here in my back."
  • 00:10:32.945 --> 00:10:34.380
  • And she said, "well, can i pray for you?"
  • 00:10:34.380 --> 00:10:37.049
  • And it just touched me in just such a special way,
  • 00:10:37.049 --> 00:10:39.852
  • And i said, "absolutely."
  • 00:10:39.852 --> 00:10:42.054
  • And she laid her hand on my back,
  • 00:10:42.054 --> 00:10:43.455
  • And she said the most powerful prayer i think i've ever heard
  • 00:10:43.455 --> 00:10:47.426
  • Anybody speak, and i just felt a weight lifted off of me
  • 00:10:47.426 --> 00:10:51.363
  • And felt different.
  • 00:10:51.363 --> 00:10:53.999
  • And as we were laying there that night talking,
  • 00:10:53.999 --> 00:10:55.701
  • She said, "mama, can i tell you something?"
  • 00:10:55.701 --> 00:10:57.770
  • And i said, "of course."
  • 00:10:57.770 --> 00:10:59.104
  • And she said, "when i was praying over you,
  • 00:10:59.104 --> 00:11:01.006
  • I saw an angel standing behind you,
  • 00:11:01.006 --> 00:11:03.509
  • And that angel touched you and healed you."
  • 00:11:03.509 --> 00:11:05.811
  • I think i did just a few chemo treatments,
  • 00:11:05.811 --> 00:11:08.047
  • And that spot was gone.
  • 00:11:08.047 --> 00:11:09.815
  • Jim: sometimes god heals.
  • 00:11:09.815 --> 00:11:12.251
  • Other times he chooses not to.
  • 00:11:12.251 --> 00:11:14.954
  • The apostle paul prayed three times for healing,
  • 00:11:14.954 --> 00:11:18.457
  • And god told him, "my grace is sufficient for thee."
  • 00:11:18.457 --> 00:11:25.598
  • Scott yarbrough: and when you say grand--
  • 00:11:25.598 --> 00:11:28.868
  • Grand canyon, around every corner there was something
  • 00:11:28.868 --> 00:11:34.039
  • Grand, and it just grew in scale and scope.
  • 00:11:34.039 --> 00:11:39.712
  • It became bigger and more grand.
  • 00:11:39.712 --> 00:11:42.481
  • This beautiful setting, the kind and patient people who stood
  • 00:11:42.481 --> 00:11:47.386
  • Around as we worked through different situations,
  • 00:11:47.386 --> 00:11:51.657
  • To skilled boatmen turning into a kindergarten teacher and
  • 00:11:51.657 --> 00:11:56.295
  • Reading us a story.
  • 00:11:56.295 --> 00:11:58.297
  • Heather: that's right.
  • 00:11:58.297 --> 00:11:59.632
  • Scott: from the boatman's tale about what a kind word can
  • 00:11:59.632 --> 00:12:03.335
  • Do to change a situation from bad to good.
  • 00:12:03.335 --> 00:12:06.839
  • Heather: that's right.
  • 00:12:06.839 --> 00:12:08.173
  • Scott: it was grand on every level.

  • 00:12:14.046 --> 00:12:16.949
  • The canyon back to the rim world,
  • 00:12:16.949 --> 00:12:19.718
  • I started to reflect on the last 7 days.
  • 00:12:19.718 --> 00:12:23.622
  • It's amazing how much can happen in a week.
  • 00:12:23.622 --> 00:12:26.592
  • In a week, god created all of this.
  • 00:12:26.592 --> 00:12:30.229
  • In a week, we rafted nearly 200 miles.
  • 00:12:30.229 --> 00:12:35.034
  • It took a week for mostly strangers
  • 00:12:35.034 --> 00:12:37.736
  • To become lifelong friends.
  • 00:12:37.736 --> 00:12:41.040
  • I thought back to the quicksand and dr. danny faulkner's
  • 00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:44.810
  • Quicksand cannonball.
  • 00:12:44.810 --> 00:12:47.079

  • 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:56.956
  • Framed by the canyon, taking my breath away.
  • 00:12:56.956 --> 00:13:01.260
  • I thought of wearing my lifejacket in a most
  • 00:13:01.260 --> 00:13:03.762
  • Unconventional and uncomfortable way to body raft the little

  • Colorado river.
  • 00:13:07.933 --> 00:13:09.868
  • I thought of the amazing turquoise blue of the river,

  • The clear green color of the colorado river,
  • 00:13:13.505 --> 00:13:16.976
  • All the shades of red in the walls of the canyon and in the

  • Creation and noah's flood, the fossil log with its fronds
  • 00:15:19.665 --> 00:15:23.836
  • Buried several layers underneath,
  • 00:15:23.836 --> 00:15:26.071
  • Proving that it could not have taken millions of years to be
  • 00:15:26.071 --> 00:15:28.974
  • Buried, but only several hours, evidence of a massive flood.
  • 00:15:28.974 --> 00:15:34.313
  • We also learned that the colorado river is not powerful
  • 00:15:34.313 --> 00:15:37.249
  • Enough to clear out the wall collapses
  • 00:15:37.249 --> 00:15:39.318
  • That formed the rapids.
  • 00:15:39.318 --> 00:15:40.853
  • How could it possibly have carved out the entire canyon?
  • 00:15:40.853 --> 00:15:44.656
  • More evidence for noah's flood.
  • 00:15:44.656 --> 00:15:47.860
  • I thought back to how we learned that the coconino sandstone
  • 00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:50.963
  • Cross beds were at the angle showing they had been formed
  • 00:15:50.963 --> 00:15:55.200
  • Underwater, not in a dry desert, more flood evidence.
  • 00:15:55.200 --> 00:16:00.239
  • Then there were the reptile or amphibian tracks always going
  • 00:16:00.239 --> 00:16:04.476
  • Uphill as if they were trying to escape from something,
  • 00:16:04.476 --> 00:16:08.680
  • And the tracks were made in wet sand,
  • 00:16:08.680 --> 00:16:11.216
  • Not dry, with their bodies found many layers above the tracks.
  • 00:16:11.216 --> 00:16:16.522
  • This is not possible if the layers took millions of years to
  • 00:16:16.522 --> 00:16:19.625
  • Form, but it is what you'd expect if there was a massive
  • 00:16:19.625 --> 00:16:24.496
  • Water catastrophe.
  • 00:16:24.496 --> 00:16:26.798
  • And then there were the dolomite stripes in the red wall.
  • 00:16:26.798 --> 00:16:30.102
  • Dolomite is only formed in warm water,
  • 00:16:30.102 --> 00:16:33.105
  • And the fountain of the great deep breaking open in noah's
  • 00:16:33.105 --> 00:16:36.108
  • Flood would create these warm water conditions,
  • 00:16:36.108 --> 00:16:40.045
  • More flood evidence.
  • 00:16:40.045 --> 00:16:42.481
  • Next, i thought of the nautiloid fossils,
  • 00:16:42.481 --> 00:16:45.017
  • Billions of them all pointing in the same general direction from

  • 00:16:49.288 --> 00:16:55.060
  • Portions, more evidence of noah's flood.
  • 00:16:55.060 --> 00:16:59.498
  • Monument fold is evidence that the layers were still wet when
  • 00:16:59.498 --> 00:17:03.101
  • The plateau was pushed up, causing this fold with no
  • 00:17:03.101 --> 00:17:06.905
  • Evidence of reheating or fracturing,
  • 00:17:06.905 --> 00:17:09.741
  • More evidence that the biblical narrative
  • 00:17:09.741 --> 00:17:12.311
  • Of noah's day is accurate.
  • 00:17:12.311 --> 00:17:15.480
  • The great unconformity, an enigma for the evolutionary
  • 00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:18.817
  • Paradigm, is missing thousands of feet of material.
  • 00:17:18.817 --> 00:17:23.388
  • Uniformitarianism can't explain this,
  • 00:17:23.388 --> 00:17:26.391
  • But the bible and noah's flood can.
  • 00:17:26.391 --> 00:17:29.828
  • The worm and trilobite trails at deer creek falls showed us rapid
  • 00:17:29.828 --> 00:17:34.233
  • Burial and extreme complexity at a layer that evolution says is
  • 00:17:34.233 --> 00:17:39.705
  • Where the first so-called simple creatures evolved.
  • 00:17:39.705 --> 00:17:42.941
  • Once again, the trails and bodies of the creatures are
  • 00:17:42.941 --> 00:17:46.044
  • Separated by hundreds of feet in height.
  • 00:17:46.044 --> 00:17:48.780
  • Impossible if it took millions of years,
  • 00:17:48.780 --> 00:17:51.883
  • But easily explained with a massive flood.
  • 00:17:51.883 --> 00:17:55.921
  • And vulcan's anvil showed evidence of how a massive
  • 00:17:55.921 --> 00:17:59.224
  • Release of water can carve massive canyons.
  • 00:17:59.224 --> 00:18:03.862
  • All of this evidence is there right now in the grand canyon

  • Now what are you going to do with it?
  • 00:18:16.408 --> 00:18:21.179
  • Heather: i think the most powerful experience was the
  • 00:18:21.179 --> 00:18:23.915
  • Black tail canyon, because when dr. andrew snelling was
  • 00:18:23.915 --> 00:18:30.522
  • Describing the layers and how that was,
  • 00:18:30.522 --> 00:18:33.725
  • You know, the weight of sin that crushed,
  • 00:18:33.725 --> 00:18:38.030
  • You know, christ is that bottom layer,
  • 00:18:38.030 --> 00:18:40.699
  • And then you had us to walk to that waterfall in silence,
  • 00:18:40.699 --> 00:18:44.836
  • And i just could not keep it together.
  • 00:18:44.836 --> 00:18:47.172
  • I just lost it, because i thought, i'm part of that.
  • 00:18:47.172 --> 00:18:50.142
  • I'm part of those layers.
  • 00:18:50.142 --> 00:18:51.677
  • I'm part of that sin that crushed jesus,
  • 00:18:51.677 --> 00:18:54.446
  • Who loves me so much, and it just broke my heart.
  • 00:18:54.446 --> 00:18:58.784
  • But then i was also encouraged, because he died for us,
  • 00:18:58.784 --> 00:19:02.354
  • And he took that sin.
  • 00:19:02.354 --> 00:19:04.156
  • He bore the weight.
  • 00:19:04.156 --> 00:19:07.793
  • Jim: there was a worldwide flood.
  • 00:19:07.793 --> 00:19:09.695
  • Here's the evidence all around me.
  • 00:19:09.695 --> 00:19:11.897
  • But you know what?
  • 00:19:11.897 --> 00:19:13.332
  • God gave a chance to every person in noah's day to be
  • 00:19:13.332 --> 00:19:18.203
  • Saved, but only noah's family got on the ark.
  • 00:19:18.203 --> 00:19:22.040
  • There is a coming judgment. the judgment is of fire.
  • 00:19:22.040 --> 00:19:25.944
  • And you say, "well, i don't believe that."
  • 00:19:25.944 --> 00:19:27.312
  • I think deep down you do, and maybe you've seen the evidence
  • 00:19:27.312 --> 00:19:30.982
  • That the bible is true, that when the scriptures speak of
  • 00:19:30.982 --> 00:19:34.886
  • History, it's accurate.
  • 00:19:34.886 --> 00:19:37.489
  • Well, maybe that's convinced you that you need to

  • Deal with your sin problem.
  • 00:19:39.891 --> 00:19:41.226
  • We've all sinned.
  • 00:19:41.226 --> 00:19:42.561

  • Well, let me just show you an illustration real quick that
  • 00:19:48.333 --> 00:19:50.635
  • Will show you exactly what i'm talking about,
  • 00:19:50.635 --> 00:19:52.471
  • How you can be saved from your sins.
  • 00:19:52.471 --> 00:19:54.339
  • I have a rock.
  • 00:19:54.339 --> 00:19:55.674
  • This is a piece of flood deposit and,
  • 00:19:55.674 --> 00:19:58.777
  • Again, a symbol of god's judgment.
  • 00:19:58.777 --> 00:20:01.046
  • In my left hand, which i would like for it to represent you and
  • 00:20:01.046 --> 00:20:05.050
  • Me, i will place this rock.
  • 00:20:05.050 --> 00:20:07.352
  • My right hand would be jesus.
  • 00:20:07.352 --> 00:20:09.888
  • He came to this earth. he is the son of god.
  • 00:20:09.888 --> 00:20:12.324
  • He never sinned, but he was made sin for us.
  • 00:20:12.324 --> 00:20:15.794
  • Did you just see that? we are sinners.
  • 00:20:15.794 --> 00:20:18.163
  • We can't get rid of this ourself.
