i wanted to put together something that would be realistic for the average patient, so what i did was a 3-day, 20-minute workout. the average person said, that they could do. so, we started on august 18th. i weighed 173. and over the three-month course, utilizing just the total gym as my workout, i successfully lost the 20 pounds. to think that i could achieve, in three days a week, through 20-minute workouts, what i was doing six days a week in an hour and a half. once i saw the results, i knew that this was something i needed to recommend to my patients. i wanted them to feel as good as i felt. >> we live here on this amazing ranch. we're older parents. we have two incredible children. there's so many things to do out here, we want to be active in their life. and because of the total gym, we're able to do just that. >> the total gym helps keep me in condition enough to be able to do the physical labor around the ranch that i do.

the thing is, you're never too old. >> when i first started using the total gym, i noticed how much better i felt, how much stronger that i felt. i've lost two pants sizes. i lost 10 pounds. i love the total gym. and the reason i love the total gym is because it's so easy to use the total gym. a lot of people my age don't exercise. they don't want to exercise. it doesn't matter. i'm 62, and it makes me feel so much better. >> so, it seems like every dress nowadays is sleeveless. and if you want to have youthful arms, and arms that look fit and toned, you got to work them. total gym is the perfect anti-ager. you can do so many exercises for your upper arms without ever having to pick up a barbell or

you just flow along. sometimes it's as simple as changing the position of your wrist. this is a great one for my triceps, but i'm also feeling it in my stomach. now, come on, what other kind of machine can you work your upper body and your lower body, all at the same time? total gym.

these jeans are size 44, and these are the jeans i used to fit in before i started using the total m. since the total gym, i'm now a size 32. i lost 100 pounds. thank you, total gym. >> let's return to the total gym challenge. >> as a trainer, i've never seen such phenomenal results. >> i really like that, being on the one machine, i was able to go back and forth between the strength and the cardio witht dropping my heart rate at all. so, i found that it was a really high-calorie-burning, very exciting workout. >> i liked that, if it was too intense, you could kind of back off a little bit. so it wasn't like if you go for a typical run, where it's the same crazy level of intensity the whole time. you can sort of really adjust it for your personal level. so that was great. it's really motivating to sort of be able to keep up with the rest of the group. >> total gym really lives up to the name. your whole body gets worked out. it's very efficient for folks that have busy lifestyles. you can get a fabulous workout in 40 minutes that would probably normally take you a couple hours.

[ cellphone rings ] >> hello? >> hey, suzy. >> hi. >> do you want to go to the gym? >> i can't. i am so busy. >> one of the biggest excuses people give for why they don't work out is time. that's what makes the total gym so great. not only does it save you time by giving you a complete workout in as little as six to eight minutes, but the convenience of having it in your home means you'll really use it. now u can work out and still

that convenience and flexibility is what guarantees success and results. >> ready to go? >> yeah. let me get my jacket. >> suzy, how do you stay in such greashape without ever going to the gym? >> just lucky, i guess. >> male announcer: now, for the first time, you can replace an entire gym full of eipment with the one piece of equipment that does it all. your total gym comes fully assembled. just open it up, and you're ready to begin. >> female announcer: and this instructional dvd gives you complete programs for beginning, intermediate, and advanced workouts. and right now, you'll also receive john carleo's dvd with his amazing 6- to 8-minute-a-day total gym workout. and as a special bonus, you'll also receive trainer todd durkin's three-dvd series. todd will motivate you to increase your strength, stamina, and energy, raise your metabolism, and burn fat, whatever your fitness level. these videos will help you get into the best shape of your life faster and easier than you ever imagined possible. >> male announcer: with total gym, you can work your major muscle groups

[ chuckles ] this picture is from a week prior to using the total gym. when i first started using the total gym, my co-workers -- they noticed a difference and they noticed that i was actually losing the weight and i was getting smaller. and they wanted to know what my secret was. and i told them i didn't have a secret, that i was using the total gym. prior to starting the total gym, my first goal was -- i wanted to complete a marathon. another goal of mine was to be able to fit into my size-5 jeans, which i've been able to. if i can do it, anyone can do it. my name is gena nelson, and i've lost 55 pounds using the total gym.

this is my son dakota. so, anyway, dakota and i are gonna work on some of the exercises that helped him in his martial arts and his gymnastics training. this is one of the tricep exercises, where we bend in and push out. and this has helped strengthen dakota's triceps to get him to be able to excel in many of the routines that he has to do in gymnastics. then now, from here, let's work on our lats. this is a great lat exercise. let's do our biceps. this one's a great exercise, too. helps dakota's gymnastics and martial-art competition. from here, pull here, and then back. twist and back. >> the total gym has helped me excel in my martial arts and also in my gymnastics. and it has also doubled my

announcer hello and welcome to through the bible with les feldick. an oklahoma rancher and farmer, les feldick has been teaching home-style bible classes for over twenty years in iowa, oklahoma and texas. les feldick's unique style of bible teaching has made the books of the bible come to life. when les is teaching, it's so interesting that people say, 'time just seems to fly by.' and now here is les feldick. les feldick okay, good to see everybody in this afternoon and again we like to

audience from wherever you are. and we just appreciate so much your letters of encouragement. every time the phone rings and someone shares again that they're seeing things that they've never seen before it'll just literally make my day. and we always like, of course, to make our television audience aware, especially new listeners, that all the past programs are available now on videotape, audiotape as well as the printed page. and they all are just word for word off the program. nothing is dressed up or edited. but if you're interested in any of those things, you give us a call or write to us and we'll get the information to you. get the information to you. also, we are now putting out a quarterly newsletter, if they'll get the camera on it over here. we are now putting out a quarterly newsletter, free of charge and of course, they go out to all the folks that are on our mailing list. but if you are not on our mailing list, if you've never

you'd like to receive this little newsletter free of charge, you just again call us or drop us a note and we'll be glad to give you this. it's not long; you can read the whole thing in five minutes. we just have a short article on prophetic things and some of the letters that come in from our audience and our television log so that you can pass these things on to your friends and loved ones. okay, i think that's all the announcements. you know, i once told somebody, i break every rule of religious broadcasting. i don't wear a suit and tie and we don't have a fancy format and i do all my own announcements so, that's just all part and parcel of our program and that's what makes us different from all threst and over and over. you know, it's kind of amusing, over and over people write and s, don't ever change a thing. well, we don't hope to. i'm going to keep right on using the simple music stand, and i'm going to keep on doing what i do without benefit of a suit and tie because we know that this is what the

just like to tell everyone that we're an informal bible study. we're not preaching at anybody, we're not trying to twist arms but fortunately, we're getting such response that people are getting into the book. they're seeing things they've never seen before. and we just give the lord the praise and the credit for all that. all right, now roy's already got it on the board, that we begin this time with ephesians chapter 1 verse 6. and you remember in our last series of programs, as we started the book of ephesians, this goes into what i call deeper spiritual things than what we've had even from romans and the corinthian letters and galatians. now we sort of take a jump up as i point it on the board in our last series of programs. we kind of take a jump up from the fundamentals to that which is deeper, more profound church truths. and so consequently all these

the church epistles but ephesians, philippians, colossians and philemon we normally refer to them as the prison epistles because they were written while paul was in prison, in romeshortly before he was martyred. and so again, we always like to make mention of the fact that in these prison epistles there is no single mention of the old testament. there's not a reference back to it any more. there's not a reference to the jew. not one single reference because now everything has flowed into this teaching of the body of christ in which there is no distinction. there is no jew; there is no gentile so far as a division of their background. we have all becomene as members of the body of christ. and so we have to keep this in mind that as we study these

is strictly church ground. and there is no other portion of scripture that is so profoundly directed to the position of the church age believer. and you won't find these things back in the old testament. you won't find them in the four gospels; you won't find it in acts. and even in paul's letters of romans and corinthians there is not this emphasis on our position 'in christ.' now i think i mentioned when we started the letter in our previous programs, that 90 some times - 90 some times in just six chapters we have the prepositional phrase 'in him,' 'in christ,' 'in whom,' which is all depicting our position. now some things i have to repeat and repeat and repeat because it's the only way it sinks in but all the things that we're going to be looking at is

understanding of our position 'in christ.' now the jew knew nothing of that. he knew his covenant relationship. he knew all the promises that god had made to their forefathers. but they knew nothing of a position in christ. now even for us today, it's hard to comprehend but we take these things by faith. i don't feel like i'm 'in christ in heaven.' but i know that i am because the word says that i am. and this is where every believer has to come to understand that what the bible says is true and we take it by faith. we don't necessarily feel it. emotions are not dealt with. now emotions are fine up to a point, but emotions can never take the place of good biblical doctrine. and so, even though we may not

basis of god's word, that's where we are. we are in where we are. we are in christ, in the heavenlies and we are part and parcel of everything that god has been building on ever since he began with adam in the garden back there in genesis. all right, ephesians chapter 1 then continuing on then where we stopped in our last program, that he has already predestinated us into the position and that's what that word adoption means, up in verse 5. he has placed us positionally as children, "by jesus christ himself, according to the good pleasure of his will for the purpose (see?) that we would be to the praise of the glory of his (what's the next word?) grace." grace. we don't deserve any of this. we haven't earned it or merited it. but it's all of grace that god has seen fit to do this on our behalf. all right, "wherein

(here it is again) in the beloved." that's how we're accepted in god's eyes is because of where we are in christ and he cannot reject us because then he would have to reject the son himself and that he'll never do. and so, in view of our position then, we are in the beloved. now right back in verse 7, another prepositional phrase, and what is it? "in whom, (see?) in whom." in who? in the beloved. who's the beloved? christ. and so in christ "we have;" we're not working for, we're not hoping for but we what? we have it. and what is it? "redemption." we have redemption and there's only one way to experience redemption and that is "through his blood." now i remember years ago, years ago a good friend of my from another denomination came to visit one morning

with me and he w all distraught because his denomination is one of the biones in america, his denomination had literally called in all the old hymnbooks and th were going to dispense new ones to all the congregations of that denomination in which there was no more reference to the blood of christ. and he was all shook up. they took out all those old hymns like 'there's power in the blood.' and 'there is a fountain.' they took them all out. well, they can just as well throw away the new testent. because our hope of eternity rests on that blood of christ. and here it is again. see? we have our redemption and our position in christ, "through his blood." and you n't throw that out. we cannot ignore that, all right, and so it's the redemption "through his blood which also then

forgiveness of sins." and again it's not because we've merited but it's all "according to his (what?) his grace." see? and this is beyond human comprehension, how that god would do all this before we even came on the scene and doing it with the knowledge, the foreknowledge that we would one day be his and we would be in him and that we would be redeemed and forgiven. all right, now as i was thinking on these things over the last several days, you want to remember that redemption is not a pauline invention. redemption comes all the way up from the garden of eden because, i'm not going to go all the way back to genesis just now, but when god placed adam and eve in the garden, they were his. weren't they? they fellowshipped with him

but sin came in and he lost them. because he couldn't fellowship with them in their sin. and that's why i think he had to go out into the garden, not that he didn't know where they were, but to show us that they were not so separated from him that what was the question that he asked first? 'where art thou?' see? where art thou? now he never had to ask that before. but as soon sin had separated and he had lost them, now he could ask the question, well where are you? adam should have answered, 'we're lost!' see? now like the little lamb in the parable of luke 15, that one out of a hundred - the only one that in the parable the shepherd concerns himself with. why? because that little fellow knew he was lost! the ninety and nine went out roaming in the desert in the wilderness, without a

a shepherd are lost but what's the difference? they don't know it. see? the little lamb knew he was in trouble and so he was bleating his head off. but the rest of them started roaming around lost in the desert and never knew it. well, that's what it means to be separated then - that god lost the human race. all right, now i can take you back to the old testament. come back to job. eighteen i think it is - no 19. job 19 and this is one of the earlier uses of the word in the old testament of redemption. and job understood it. verse 25 of job 19. job 19 verse 25, i'm going to give you time to find it because again, this is what we hear

time to find these verses.' for all of you out there, for all you in here, job 19 verse 25, where job writes, "for i know that my redeemer liveth." see how plain that is? now maybe we should stop first and define the word 'redeemed.' what does it mean? to lose control of something and then pay the price to buy it back. that's redemption. you know a thought just comes to my mind. i remember years ago and i'm sure most believers, they're pastors have probably used the same illustration. i think i've read it more than once but it is so kind of heart touching as well as making the point, of the little fellow who had built a model sailboat and he had spent one whole winter just

little sailboat. and it was beautiful. and so one day, his parents took him out to the beach and he played with that sailboat and it was just all that he could hope for. but being a child, some thing got his attention and he left his boat and he went and did something and when he came back it was gone. and oh he wept bitter tears that he had done so much to build that little boat, he had enjoyed it so much, the few little moments that he had played with it and now it was lost. it was gone. but, months later, he and his mom were walking down the street and here in the window of a pawnshop was his little boat. and oh, he was so elated. so he goes in to the shopkeeper and he says, 'thas my boat. i want it.' and he says, 'no sonny, that's my boat, i paid for it. if you want it

me.' so the little fellow says, 'how much?' well, i don't remember depending on the times, you know. but it was far more than what he had and so he had to go back and find a way that he could generate enough money to go and buy his little boat. so he shoveled snow all winter and he mowed grass and finally one day, he had enough to go back to the pawn shop and fortunately his little boat was stilndthere. a he went up to the counter and he says, 'i wa my boat.' and the guy says, 'have you got the money?' and he says, 'yes!' and he plunked it down. and so he took his boat. and as he was going down the street, holding that boat. he said, 'little boat! i made you. i lost you. but i have bought you back! you're mine!' well now that's just a simple heart touching story of a little lad but listen that's exactly what god

sinned. and for 2000 years, god prepares for the coming of the redeemer and all the old testament, like job, are looking forward to it - when the redeemer would come. in fact, now come on ahead with me to isaiah, isaiah i think it's 59. isaiah 59 verse 20 because i want you to see that this whole concept of a redeemer is not pauline. paul puts the cap on it. paul puts the frosting on the cake, but ever since adam sinned god has been preparing for the coming of this redeemerlike the little boy out there scooping snow and mowing lawns, he was getting ready for the day when he could go back in and pay the price of redemption. all right, that's what god did. all right, now verse 20 of

prophecy, yet. this is all looking forward, "and the redeemer (capital 'r').the redeemer shall come to zion and unto them that turn from tnsgression in jacob saith the lord." and so here we have the promise of this coming redeemer. all right, now let's skip all the way back up in to the new testament and stop at romans chapter 3. romans chapter 3 and now like i said, paul puts the frosting on the cake so far as the price of redemption is concerned. romans chapter 3, oh let's just drop in at verse 23, i guess. romans chapter 3 verse 23, where he comes to this graphic conclusion and

believe even today. they think they're good enough. they think that somehow that god is going to let them slip in. no he won't. because the scripture says, "all have sinned." every human being from adam on. "all have sinned and come short of the glory of god." but, god didn't stop there. he immediately, like the little boy again, got busy and started preparing for the coming of a redeemer. and so verse 24, "being justified, (even though we're sinners).being justified freely by his grace, through the (what?) redemption." see there it is again. through the whole process of buying us back. that's what it was all for. that he could pay the price of redemption, which had to be the blood of christ. now

another whole half-hour - the blood of christ. why is that so unique? well it was divine! you want to remember that joseph was not the father of the baby jesus. god was. and as i've pointed out over the years and i've had questions come in after question - the blood circulatory system always originates with whom? the father. not the mother. none of the mother's blood courses through the baby while it's in the uterus, while it's in the womb. because you see, the baby's blood is kept from any, what shall i say? pollution of the physical mother and christ's blood originated with god himself and so when he was born, it was divine blood that coursed through his veins and when his blood was shed, it wasn't just the blood of another human being, it was the divine blood of god

then, the price of redemption. all right, verse 25, "whom god hath set forth (that is christ jesus in verse 24).whom god hath set forth to be a propitiation (now that's what god has done. that's the place of sacrifice and offering and mercy a grace. all right god did all that but it was) through faith in his blood." see that? if we don't believe in the shed blood of christ and its power for atonement, we're as lost as a goose. now you might as well mark it down. there will be no one in heaven unless he's been redeemed by faith in the blood of christ. now i'm getting right down to the nitty-gritty, they may someday kick me off e air. and like i've said over the years, when that day happens then my cows get my full attention. it's

living or anything like that, but i am going to stand here and i'm going to teach what i feel is the truth of the worof god. whether people like it or not. but they seem to be liking it. the blood of christ. it is the only purchase price for our redemption and we have to appropriate it by our faith. we believe it. we trust in it. all right.all right, so "declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past." in other words, the blood of christ covered all the sins all the way back todam and all the way forward until the end of time. and so it was a complete atoning. it was a complete purchase price of mankind's redemption. well, let me see, i'm just trying to think what minute i've got left? we've got six-minutes left. all right, we've still got a few more to go on. come on up to hebrews. oh, there are others but i don't want to get caught short of

find more references about the blood of christ, other than romans, but let's skip all the way through; we've already touched on the one in ephesians and come to hebrews chapter 9. hebrews chapter 9 verse 11. now there are so many references to the blood in hebrews that i can't begin to touch on all of them, so i'm going to hit the ones that are probably the most emphatic. but here in chapter 9 verse 11, "but christ being come a high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building." now we're teaching the book of

class on saturday night and you know, i repeat and repeat until i'm almost afraid that they're going to get sick and tired of hearing these things, but it's the only way they learn. and they keep encouraging me. but you see, the little book of hebrews is constantly referring to that which was 'good' - the law, judaism, it was good. but paul comes along and with this gospel of grace, and we'll see in our next program, the revelation of the mysteries; it's all so much 'better.' and so all through the book of hebrews, we see this constant comparison of that which was good but now we have something that is far better. all right, now here it is in this verse. oh their earthly tabernacle was beautiful, it was functional. my, they could take that thing down and move it at the drop of a hat. and they could set it up. it was functional, it was beautiful, it did everything they needed. but now, it was patterned after

see? more perfect, in verse 11. because it's in heaven and it was that one that was the pattern for what moses built in the wilderness. but anyway, it was that which was good compared to that which is far better. all right now then, here we come to verse 12. oh, the blood of bulls and calves did its work; it covered the sins of israel. but it was nothing when compared to the blood of christ. all right, now let's read the whole verse, "neither by the blood of goats and calves but by his own blood, he entered in once into the holy place, (that is up in heaven now) having (past tense, all done).having obtained eternal (what?) redemption." you see it? over and over and over the blood of christ has paid the price of redemption

order for god to get control of fallen man. and he's done it. it's been paid in full. all right, so then, verse 13, "for if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of an heifer sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies to the purifying of the flesh, how much (what?) more." see? even though those things back there were good. how much better, see? "shall the blood of christ (verse 14) through the eternal spirit (that is through the power of the holy spirit) and he offered himself without spot to god and it'll purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living god?" all right, then i have to bring you down to verse 22, a verse that i've used ever since we began our television series way back in genesis, that it's one of the absolutes of scripture. now we know we're decrying the fact that our society is rotting

have lost our absolutes. we no longer as a socie say, well now, these are absolutes. but the scripture does. the scripture has absolutes. and when you ignore them, you're on thin ice. you're sliding to your doom. all right, but here's one of them, verse 22, "almost all things are by law purged with blood (and then the last part is what i'm talking about) without the shedding of blood there is no remission." now we've got to hang on to that. we dare not sidetrack it because it's an absolute. and so let's move on. peter. i peter chapter 1, even peter, even though he follows paul in his

agrees 100% with pauline theology and that's in i peter chapter 1 verse 18 and 19. "for as much as you know you were not redeemed (there's that word again) with corruptible things as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers. but, (flipside, we're not redeemed with silver and gold).but we are redeemed with the precious blood of christ as a lamb without blemish and without spot." well, if we've got time for one more verse in revelation, i hope. let's move there fast. revelation chapter 5. can you do that in ten seconds? revelation chapter 5 - we don't even have 10, but anyway it's back there in verse 9 'that he was worthy because we have been redeemed to god
