(MUSIC) >>HAVE YOU EVER HEARD 00:50 A MOUSE HOWL LIKE A WOLF? WELL, WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT 00:54 WOULD HAPPEN WHEN A CREATURE CHANGES ITS DESTINY FROM THE 00:57 HAPLESS PREY TO THE MIGHTY PREDATOR? 01:00 FROM THE OUTSIDE THEY LOOK VERY MUCH LIKE AN OVERSIZED FIELD 01:04 MOUSE - CUTE BROWN FUR, WHITE ON THE UNDERBELLY, NICE LITTLE 01:08 BEADY EYES - BUT THAT'S WHERE THE SIMILARITIES STOP. 01:11 GRASSHOPPER MICE ARE VERY UNUSUAL, MAKING THEM THE OBJECTS 01:15 OF GREAT INTEREST FOR ANIMAL RESEARCHERS. 01:19 THESE FURRY LITTLE CREATURES ARE FOUND IN THE HARSH DESERTS OF 01:22 NORTH AMERICA. THEY'RE VERY TERRITORIAL IN 01:24 NATURE AND THEY WILL MONOPOLIZE AND FEND OFF 25 ACRES. 01:29 THEY DON'T BUILD THEIR OWN HOMES, BUT SORT OF CONFISCATE 01:31 THE BURROWS AND THE HOMES OF OTHER CREATURES. 01:34 THEY'RE NOT CALLED GRASSHOPPER MICE BECAUSE THEY HOP AROUND, 01:37 BUT IT'S BECAUSE THEY EAT A LOT OF GRASSHOPPERS. 01:39 IN FACT, SCIENTISTS HAVE DISCOVERED THAT GRASSHOPPER MICE 01:42 ARE THE ONLY MICE THAT ARE PURELY CARNIVOROUS. 01:46 THEY HUNT MUCH LIKE CATS OR WEASELS, STALKING THEIR PREY IN 01:50 A PREDATORY FASHION AND WHEN THEY POUNCE, THEY ARE FEROCIOUS, 01:54 SOMETIMES EVEN TAKING ON SNAKES AND SCORPIONS AND CENTIPEDES. 01:59 WHEN A GRASSHOPPER MOUSE GETS INTO A FIERCE BATTLE WITH A 02:02 SNAKE OR A SCORPION OR A CENTIPEDE, THEY MAY BE BIT OR 02:05 STUNG SEVERAL TIMES. BUT WHAT IS AMAZING TO 02:08 RESEARCHERS IS THEY'VE NOTICED WHEN THEY ARE BITTEN, THEY 02:11 SOMEHOW SHAKE IT OFF BECAUSE THEY CONVERT THE TOXIN AND 02:15 THE VENOM TO PAIN KILLER. I THINK YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY 02:19 THIS INFORMATION WOULD BE OF SPECIAL INTEREST TO SCIENTISTS 02:22 THAT ARE TRYING TO DISCOVER NEW WAYS FOR PEOPLE TO 02:25 DEAL WITH CHRONIC PAIN. ONE OF THE MOST INTRIGUING 02:29 CHARACTERISTICS OF THESE LITTLE CREATURES IS, WHEN THEY'RE 02:33 DEFENDING THEIR TERRITORY OR CELEBRATING A VICTORY OVER SOME 02:36 ADVERSARY, THEY'LL THROW BACK THEIR HEAD AND LET OUT THIS 02:40 EARTH-SHAKING HOWL - IT'S A MOUSEY HOWL - CHECK IT OUT. 02:51 THE GRASSHOPPER MOUSE IS NOT THE ONLY MEMBER OF CREATION THAT CAN 02:54 SURVIVE ENCOUNTERS WITH VENOMOUS PREDATORS. 02:57 IN LUKE 10:19 IT SAYS, "BEHOLD, I GIVE YOU THE AUTHORITY TO 03:02 TRAMPLE ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER THE POWER OF 03:05 THE ENEMY, AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YOU." 03:09 WE DON'T HAVE TO BE THE BIGGEST AND THE STRONGEST TO DEFEAT OUR 03:12 ENEMY AND LET OUT THAT VICTORY ROAR. 03:15 WHEN GOD CALLED DAVID TO BE KING, NO HUMAN WOULD HAVE 03:17 GUESSED THAT HE HAD IT IN HIM. HE WAS YOUNG AND INSIGNIFICANT. 03:21 FROM THE OUTSIDE HE LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS NO GREATNESS IN HIM, 03:25 BUT WHEN GOD LOOKED AT HIS HEART, HE SAW COURAGE, HUMILITY, 03:28 COMPASSION, AND LOVE. DAVID WASN'T PERFECT, AND HE 03:31 MADE MISTAKES, BUT THROUGH GOD'S POWER HE WAS ABLE 03:34 TO CONQUER GIANTS. FRIEND, GOD DOES NOT INTEND THAT 03:38 YOU LIVE OUT THE REST OF YOUR LIFE COWERING AND TREMBLING 03:41 LIKE A LITTLE FIELD MOUSE. IF GOD CAN TAKE THE GRASSHOPPER 03:44 MOUSE AND GIVE HIM COURAGE SO THAT HE FIGHTS SNAKES AND 03:48 SCORPIONS AND CENTIPEDES, IF GOD CAN PUT IN THE HEART OF DAVID 03:51 THE COURAGE TO FIGHT GIANTS LIKE GOLIATH, THEN HE CAN GIVE 03:55 YOU THAT SAME COURAGE. THE SCRIPTURES SAY GOD HAS NOT 03:58 GIVEN YOU THE SPIRIT OF FEAR, BUT OF POWER, LOVE, AND A SOUND 04:03 MIND - AND YOU CAN HAVE THAT PEACE IN YOUR HEART WHEN YOU 04:06 INVITE THE PRINCE OF PEACE INTO YOUR HEART. 04:08 WHY DON'T YOU DO THAT RIGHT NOW? (MUSIC) 04:17 >>IMPACT YOUR WORLD! THE AMAZING FACTS CENTER OF EVANGELISM IS 04:21 THE FIRST AND ORIGINAL BIBLE TRAINING SCHOOL, 04:23 OPERATING FOR OVER TEN YEARS. YOU'LL RECEIVE PRACTICAL 04:26 TRAINING IN PERSONAL AND PUBLIC EVANGELISM. 04:29 LEARN HOW TO GIVE DYNAMIC PUBLIC PRESENTATIONS, GIVE COMPELLING 04:32 CHRIST-CENTERED BIBLE STUDIES, AND ALL WHILE GAINING A 04:34 PERSONAL, DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF GOD. 04:37 LEARN FROM DOUG BATCHELOR AND OTHER WORLD-CLASS EVANGELISTS. 04:40 >>THE WORLD IS FULL OF BUSY THINGS PEOPLE ARE DOING. 04:43 THERE'S A LOT OF WORK YOU COULD DO: BUILD HOUSES, YOU CAN FIX 04:46 CARS BUT, ULTIMATELY, WHEN JESUS COMES THE HOUSES WILL BURN AND 04:49 THE CARS WILL MELT. THE ONLY WORK THAT IS REALLY 04:52 GOING TO LAST FOREVER IS WHEN HEARTS ARE TRANSFORMED, AND THIS 04:56 IS WHY THE WORK OF AFCOE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT WORK IN THE 04:59 WORLD, BECAUSE THE RESULTS, CHANGED LIVES, WILL 05:02 LAST THROUGH ETERNITY. >>TO ENROLL TODAY, VISIT 05:05 AFCOE.ORG OR CALL (916) 209-7249. (MUSIC) 05:26 >>SOME OF YOU REMEMBER THE STORIES OF AESOP'S FABLES, 05:32 AND AESOP HAD ONE FABLE ABOUT THE ANT AND THE GRASSHOPPER. 05:36 AND, AS THE STORY GOES, ONE DAY THE GRASSHOPPER WAS HOPPING 05:40 ALONG AND SINGING ON A BEAUTIFUL SUMMER DAY, AND HE SAW THE ANT 05:45 LABORING AND TOILING, CARRYING A PIECE OF GRAIN AND HE SAID TO 05:50 THE ANT, 'WHY DON'T YOU COME AND PLAY WITH ME AND SING WITH ME 05:53 AND DANCE WITH ME?' AND THE ANT SAID, 'NO, I NEED 05:56 TO WORK BECAUSE I NEED TO STORE AWAY FOOD TO SUSTAIN US, TO KEEP 06:01 US ALIVE THROUGH THE COLD WINTER THAT'S COMING.' 06:04 AND THE GRASSHOPPER SAID, 'YOU JUST NEED TO ENJOY YOURSELF FOR 06:06 NOW.' AND THE ANT SAID, 'NO, WE NEED 06:08 TO WORK.' 'OH,' - HE SAID - 'YOU'RE 06:10 NO FUN AT ALL.' AND HE BEGAN TO RIDICULE THE ANT AND GAVE HIM A 06:14 HARD TIME AND THE ANT CARRIED ON WITH HIS WORK. 06:17 WELL, THEN, AS THE STORY GOES, WINTER CAME AND THE GRASSHOPPER 06:20 CAME HOPPING UP TO THE DOOR OF THE ANT COLONY AND SAID, 'PLEASE 06:24 GIVE ME A GRAIN OF RICE.' AND HE SAID, 'NO,' - HE SAID - 'YOU CAN 06:28 JUST KEEP ON SINGING AND DANCING.' (LAUGHTER) HE SAID, 06:32 'WE SAVED THIS UP TO KEEP US ALIVE.' AND THE MORAL OF THE 06:38 STORY, OF COURSE, IS THAT YOU NEED TO THINK IN ADVANCE AND 06:42 PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE. AND, YOU KNOW, JESUS TOLD 06:46 SOME PARABLES ABOUT THAT. EVEN JESUS TOLD A PARABLE ABOUT 06:49 AN UNFAITHFUL SERVANT AND THE MASTER TOLD THE SERVANT, 'LOOK, 06:56 I HEAR YOU'RE NOT BEING FAITHFUL. 06:57 I'M GOING TO - YOU'VE GOT TO GET YOUR BOOKS IN ORDER AND GIVE AN 07:00 ACCOUNT, BECAUSE I'M GOING TO PUT YOU OUT OF BEING THE 07:02 STEWARD.' AND THE STEWARD CALLED HIS MASTER'S DEBTORS AND ONE 07:06 OWED HIM FIFTY PENCE, ANOTHER ONE OWED HIM EIGHTY. 07:09 HE SAID, 'TAKE YOUR BILL AND CUT IT IN HALF.' AND JESUS COMMENDED 07:15 - I KNOW IT SEEMS ODD TO US - HE COMMENDED THIS UNFAITHFUL 07:17 STEWARD. HE SAID - HE WAS MAKING FRIENDS 07:21 - HE WAS MAKING ACCOMPLICES OF HIS MASTER'S DEBTORS SO THEY 07:25 WOULD TAKE HIM INTO THEIR HOMES IN THE FUTURE WHEN 07:29 HE WAS UNEMPLOYED. AND JESUS COMMENDED HIM AND 07:33 SAID, 'HE WAS THINKING AHEAD.' WELL, I'M NOT RECOMMENDING 07:37 DISHONESTY - NEITHER DID JESUS - BUT JESUS DOES COMMAND THAT WE 07:40 THINK AHEAD AND WE PLAN AND PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE. 07:44 IT'S NOT A BAD THING FOR A CHRISTIAN TO HAVE A RETIREMENT 07:46 ACCOUNT. IT'S ESPECIALLY SAD IF A 07:50 CHRISTIAN DOESN'T HAVE ETERNAL PLANS. 07:53 WHAT PROFIT IS IT IF YOU GAIN THE WHOLE WORLD AND LOSE YOUR 07:56 SOUL? AND SO, WE NEED TO WORK AND TO 07:58 PLAN AND PREPARE FOR THE FUTURE. AND THIS IS WHAT WAS 08:02 HAPPENING THERE IN THAT PARABLE. NOW ANTS ARE LEGENDARY FOR 08:06 BEING HARD WORKERS AND THEY ARE AMAZING CREATURES. 08:10 ANTS ARE REALLY AMAZING - I'VE DONE SEVERAL AMAZING FACTS THAT 08:13 DEALT SPECIFICALLY WITH ANTS. ANTS COME IN JUST ABOUT EVERY 08:16 COLOR: THEY ARE GREEN AND RED AND BROWN AND YELLOW AND BLUE 08:21 AND PURPLE - KIND OF LIKE PEOPLE, RIGHT? 08:23 ALL THESE DIFFERENT COLORS. THEY ARE THE MOST NUMEROUS 08:26 CREATURES ON THE EARTH. SOME RESEARCHERS BELIEVE FIFTEEN 08:29 PERCENT OF THE ANIMAL BIOMASS IN THE AMAZON BASIN 08:33 IS MADE UP OF ANTS. THERE ARE 8,800 KNOWN 08:39 SPECIES OF ANTS IN THE WORLD. THEY'RE ON EVERY CONTINENT 08:42 EXCEPT, STRANGELY ENOUGH, ANT-ARCTICA. (LAUGHTER) YOU WOULD 08:46 THINK THAT WOULD BE THE FIRST PLACE THEY WOULD GO BECAUSE THEY 08:49 WOULDN'T HAVE TO CHANGE THEIR BUSINESS CARDS. 08:51 BUT THERE ARE SOME COLONIES THAT CONTAIN AMAZING NUMBERS OF ANTS, 08:57 LIKE ONE ON THE COAST OF JAPAN THAT'S REPORTED TO HAVE AN 09:00 INCREDIBLE 1,800,000 QUEENS AND THERE ARE OVER 306,000,000 09:08 WORKERS IN 45 INTERCONNECTED NESTS - ONE COLONY OF ANTS AND 09:13 THEY'RE ALL INTER-RELATED AND THEY ALL COOPERATE TOGETHER. 09:16 SOMEONE ALSO SAID THAT IF YOU WERE TO WEIGH ALL OF THE ANTS IN 09:20 THE WORLD, THEY WOULD WEIGH ABOUT AS MUCH AS ALL THE PEOPLE 09:22 IN THE WORLD - AND THERE ARE 7,000,000,000 IN THE WORLD - 09:27 THAT'S A LOT OF ANTS! I REMEMBER HEARING ABOUT THERE 09:32 WAS AN EXPERIMENT IN ARIZONA AND THEY WANTED TO CREATE WHAT 09:36 THEY CALLED A BIOSPHERE. IT WAS CALLED BIOSPHERE II AND 09:41 THEY BUILT THIS GREAT ENCLOSURE - IT WAS SEVERAL ACRES 09:44 - A GLASS ENCLOSURE. IT HAD A GREENHOUSE IN IT AND 09:48 THEY HAD A LITTLE SECTION OF IT THAT WAS LIKE A RAINFOREST, A 09:51 LITTLE SECTION WAS A DESERT AND A LITTLE SECTION WAS FOREST 09:54 LAND, AND THEY TRIED TO RECREATE ALL THE DIFFERENT AREAS OF 09:59 THE WORLD IN THIS ONE BIG EXPERIMENT. 10:03 AND THEN THEY PUT EIGHT BIOSPHERIANS IN THERE WHO WERE 10:07 SUPPOSED TO LIVE THERE FOR TWO YEARS OFF WHAT JUST COULD BE 10:10 GROWN OR PRODUCED AND, THEORETICALLY, THE PLANTS WOULD 10:13 PRODUCE THE OXYGEN AND THEY WOULD PURIFY THE WATER AND - 10:16 THEY TRIED TO MAKE A SELF-CONTAINED ENVIRONMENT. 10:20 PARTIALLY, THEY DID THIS TO WONDER, 'CAN WE SETTLE ON 10:24 ANOTHER PLANET? CAN WE TAKE THE BIOSPHERE OF 10:27 EARTH AND REPRODUCE IT SOMEWHERE ELSE SO MAN COULD HAVE 10:30 COLONIES ON OTHER WORLDS?' SO THAT WAS PART OF THE IDEA OF 10:33 THE EXPERIMENT AND IT WASN'T VERY LONG AFTER THE BIOSPHERIANS 10:37 - THESE EIGHT VOLUNTEERS WHO SAID THEY WERE GOING TO MOVE IN 10:39 AND LIVE OFF THE LAND IN THIS BIG CLOSED ENVIRONMENT, BEGAN TO 10:45 GET VERY HUNGRY AND THEY STARTED TALKING THEIR FRIENDS ON THE 10:48 OUTSIDE INTO SMUGGLING IN PIZZA (LAUGHTER) AND THEY WERE 10:51 FIGHTING AMONG THEMSELVES. BUT THE THING THAT REALLY 10:54 BROUGHT THE EXPERIMENT TO AN END IS THEY SAID THAT COCKROACHES 10:59 AND ANTS BEGAN TO MULTIPLY AND FILL THE PLACE. 11:03 THEY DID NOT STAY UNDER CONTROL. AND SOMEONE HAS ESTIMATED THAT 11:08 IF THERE WAS A NUCLEAR HOLOCAUST ON PLANET EARTH, IF ANYTHING 11:14 SURVIVED, IT WOULD BE ANTS AND COCKROACHES. 11:17 THEY'RE EXTREMELY DURABLE. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD 11:20 ABOUT THE INVASION OF FIRE ANTS THAT CAME FROM SOUTH AMERICA. 11:25 THEY FOUND THEIR WAY TO FLORIDA - THEY'VE NOW MADE THEIR WAY ALL 11:27 THE WAY - HOW MANY OF YOU HEARD ABOUT THE FIRE ANTS? 11:29 AND THEY'VE GOT ANOTHER GROUP CALLED 'CRAZY ANTS' AND THEY'VE 11:33 MADE THEIR WAY ACROSS THE SOUTHWEST. THEY ARE NOW UP TO 11:37 CENTRAL CALIFORNIA COMING TO A HOME NEAR YOU SOON. (LAUGHTER) 11:45 FIRE ANTS - AND THEY STING AND THEY BURN - CRAZY ANTS 11:48 - THEY'RE EXTREMELY RESILIENT CREATURES. 11:51 THEY'RE INDUSTRIOUS - CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE INDUSTRIOUS. 11:56 ANTS CARRY ON COMPLEX SOCIAL ORGANIZATIONS - THEY HAVE 11:59 BUILDING PROJECTS AND COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS. 12:03 MANY GROUPS OF ANIMALS DEPEND ON LEADERS AND HERDS - LIKE HORSES 12:07 THAT MAY HAVE A CHIEF MUSTANG AND WOLVES WILL HAVE AN ALPHA 12:10 WOLF AHEAD OF THE PACK - BUT ANTS ARE VERY ORGANIZED AND THEY 12:14 ACCOMPLISH A LOT AND THEY REALLY HAVE NO LEADER. 12:17 AND, YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT. 12:18 YOU LOOK, FOR INSTANCE, IN PROVERBS 6:6-8 - "GO TO THE ANT, 12:23 YOU SLUGGARD! CONSIDER HER WAYS AND BE WISE, 12:26 WHICH, HAVING NO CAPTAIN, OVERSEER OR RULER, PROVIDES HER 12:32 SUPPLIES IN THE SUMMER," - AS IN AESOP'S FABLE - "AND GATHER 12:35 HER FOOD IN THE HARVEST." THEY THINK AHEAD, THEY BUILD 12:39 CHAMBERS, THEY STORE, THEY PROCESS FOOD SO THAT THEY CAN 12:42 THEN HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT THROUGH THE COLD MONTHS. 12:46 AND, OF COURSE, CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE INDUSTRIOUS. 12:49 THE BIBLE SAYS, IN PROVERBS 13:4, "THE SOUL OF A LAZY MAN 12:53 DESIRES AND HAS NOTHING; BUT THE SOUL OF THE DILIGENT SHALL BE 12:57 MADE RICH." YOU KNOW, WE'RE A CHURCH OF 13:01 PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN KEEPING THE FOURTH COMMANDMENT, 13:04 'REMEMBER THE SABBATH DAY TO KEEP IT HOLY', BUT THE SABBATH 13:07 DAY IS NOT JUST ABOUT REST. YOU KNOW WHAT THE 13:09 FIRST PART SAYS? 'SIX DAYS THOU SHALT' - 13:12 >>LABOR. >>DO YOU KNOW THE COMMAND THAT 13:15 SAYS, 'THOU SHALT LABOR' IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS THE PART THAT 13:17 SAYS, 'THOU SHALT REST'? AMEN? >>AMEN! 13:22 >>YEAH, THE REST MEANS A LOT MORE IF YOU DO THE SIX DAYS OF 13:24 LABOR. (LAUGHTER) AND SO, ANTS WERE 13:27 INDUSTRIOUS - SOLOMON POINTED TO THEM. DO YOU KNOW THAT 13:31 THEIR BRAINS ARE AMONG THE LARGEST OF ANY INSECT AND THE 13:35 MATERIAL IN THEIR BRAINS MOST EQUALS THE MATERIAL IN A HUMAN 13:40 BRAIN. AND IT'S ALMOST LIKE WHEN YOU 13:44 GET A BIG ENOUGH ANT COLONY, THEY ALL HAVE A LITTLE PIECE 13:46 OF A BRAIN CELL BECAUSE THEY SOMEHOW COMMUNICATE WITH EACH 13:49 OTHER AND THINK LIKE ONE CORPORATE BRAIN EVEN 13:52 THOUGH THEY HAVE NO LEADER. THERE'S A QUEEN, BUT HER JOB IS 13:55 JUST PRETTY MUCH TO REPRODUCE AND LAY EGGS. 13:58 AND THEY'RE PRETTY AMAZING TOO; DID YOU KNOW THAT THE QUEEN, IN 14:02 SOME VARIETY OF ANT COLONIES, CAN LIVE THIRTY YEARS. 14:08 A BUG LIVING THIRTY YEARS - I MEAN, YOU'VE HEARD OF THE CICADA 14:12 THAT LIVES 17 YEARS, BUT THEY'RE HIBERNATING - THIS QUEEN IS 14:16 HAVING BABIES FOR THIRTY YEARS - THOUSANDS OF THEM! 14:21 THAT, TO ME, WAS THE MOST AMAZING FACT OF ALL, THAT THEY 14:24 COULD LIVE THAT LONG. YEAH, THEY'VE GOT LITTLE 14:27 MUSHROOM-SHAPED BRAINS AND THEY ARE ABLE TO PROCESS A LOT OF 14:30 INFORMATION AND MAKE INTELLIGENT DECISIONS. ANTS ARE CLEAN. 14:35 YEAH, THEY - HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THE ANT NEST? 14:38 THEY ACTUALLY HAVE A DUMP OUTSIDE THE NEST. 14:40 YOU'LL SEE THE SAND AND THEN THERE'LL BE THIS LITTLE PILE OF 14:42 DEBRIS THAT THEY PILE UP, OR YOU'LL SEE SEEDS PILED UP AND 14:46 THEY'LL PUT THE SAND IN ANOTHER PLACE. 14:47 AND IT'S THEIR TRAIL - IF YOU HAVE THESE ARMY ANTS, YOU GET 14:50 SOMETHING ON ONE OF THEIR REGULAR TRAILS - YOU DROP 14:52 SOMETHING THERE, YOU'LL SEE A BUNCH OF ANTS COME, THEY'LL JUST 14:54 PUT IT OUT OF THE WAY. THEY KEEP IT CLEAN. 14:56 THEY HAVE A DISINFECTANT THAT THEY CAN SPRAY ON THEIR BODIES 14:59 TO KEEP THEMSELVES SANITARY. AND WHEN THEY MEET EACH OTHER 15:02 ALONG THE WAY, THEY CLEAN. I WAS JUST IN THE BACK WITH 15:05 PASTOR JOHN AND CATHY, HIS WIFE, CAME BACK TO HIM WHILE WE WERE 15:09 TALKING ABOUT THE SERVICE SHE'S TAKING HER HAND - SHE'S KIND OF 15:12 DUSTING HIS SHOULDERS - AND I WAS GIVING HIM A HARD TIME, I 15:15 STARTED DUSTING HIS SHOULDERS TOO AND STRAIGHTENING HIS TIE. 15:19 BUT, YOU KNOW, ANY OF YOU WIVES YOU KIND OF GO OVER YOUR 15:22 HUSBANDS BEFORE THEY GO OUT THE DOOR AND MAKE SURE THEY'VE GOT 15:24 EVERYTHING ON? 'THAT DOESN'T MATCH!' 15:26 STRAIGHTEN THEM OUT. ANTS DO THAT TOO. (LAUGHTER) 15:29 THEY MEET EACH OTHER ALONG THE TRAIL, THEY CLEAN EACH OTHER UP, 15:32 AND THEN THEY KEEP GOING. THEY'RE VERY CLEAN CREATURES. 15:35 THE BIBLE SAYS CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE THAT WAY TOO. 15:38 "WASH YOURSELVES," - ISAIAH 1:16 - "MAKE YOURSELVES CLEAN; 15:43 PUT AWAY THE EVIL OF YOUR DOINGS FROM BEFORE MY EYES. 15:46 CEASE TO DO EVIL, LEARN TO DO GOOD;" ANTS ALSO - ANOTHER 15:52 INTERESTING CHARACTERISTIC - THEY FORGE CONSIDERATE 15:57 RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEIR ENVIRONMENT. 16:00 IN OTHER WORDS, ANTS WILL MOVE INTO ACACIA TREES AND THE ACACIA 16:04 TREE WILL HAVE AN OPENING OR CRACK - THE ANT COLONY WILL MOVE 16:08 IN THERE. THEY WILL, IN TURN, THEY GET 16:10 SAP FROM THE TREE - THEY WILL PROTECT THE TREE FROM ANYTHING 16:13 THAT WOULD HURT THE TREE - BUT THEY LET THE BEES COME AND 16:16 POLLINATE THE TREE - THEY WON'T CHASE THE BEES AWAY. 16:19 AND THE TREE ENDS UP SURVIVING AND THRIVING - THEY PREVENT THE 16:23 BIRDS AND OTHER CREATURES FROM LANDING ON IT OR HURTING IT 16:25 BECAUSE THE ANTS PROTECT IT BECAUSE IT FEEDS THE ANTS THE 16:29 SAP. THEY HAVE A LOT OF VERY 16:31 INTERESTING SYMBIOTIC RELATIONSHIPS WITH OTHER 16:34 CREATURES AND WITH VEGETATION. THEY FARM. 16:39 THAT'S RIGHT, ANTS WILL ACTUALLY PLANT SEEDS AND, WHEN THEY 16:44 SPROUT, THEY WILL PULL WEEDS AROUND THE SEEDS AND WHEN THE 16:48 SEEDS ARE RIPE, THEY WILL HARVEST THE SEEDS AND BRING THEM 16:51 BACK INTO THEIR BURROWS. MATTER OF FACT, THERE ARE ANTS 16:56 THAT LIVE IN TEXAS, THEY'LL CLEAR A FIELD THAT IS ONE OR TWO 16:59 SQUARE YARDS, THEY PLANT THE RICE, THEY LAY IT OUT IN BEDS, 17:03 THEY HAVE PATHWAYS, THEY WEED, IT RIPENS, THEY TEAR THE SEEDS 17:07 APART, THE REMOVE THE SEEDS' HUSK - IT'S LIKE THEY'RE 17:10 WINNOWING IT LIKE OUR FARMERS DO - THEN THEY MIX THE INNER SEED 17:15 WITH THEIR SALIVA TO FORM A KIND OF ANT BREAD - ANTS BAKE BREAD. 17:21 THAT'S RIGHT, AND THAT'S THE NEXT ONE, THEY NOT ONLY FARM - 17:25 THEY DO, THEY BAKE BREAD. THERE IS A SPECIES OF 17:28 MEDITERRANEAN ANT THAT GOES EVEN FURTHER IN THEIR FARMING, THESE 17:32 ANTS CAREFULLY TAKE THE DRIED SEEDS OUT OF THE RAIN - OUT IN 17:36 THE RAIN - UNTIL THEY SPROUT, BUT SHORTLY AFTER THEY SPROUT, 17:39 WHEN THEY SOFTEN A LITTLE BIT - THEY CHEW THEM UP AND THEY TAKE 17:44 THEM DOWN INTO THEIR DEN WHERE THEY MASH THEM UP INTO A DOUGH, 17:49 THEY REFORM THEM INTO LITTLE ROUND COOKIES - LITTLE ROUND 17:54 JAPATTIS - BREAD - ANTI-BREAD - I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU CALL IT - 17:58 THEY, THEN BRING IT OUT ON A HOT DAY, THEY BAKE IT, THEY THEN 18:02 TAKE IT BACK DOWN AND THEY LIVE ON COOKIES ALL WINTER LONG. 18:06 (LAUGHTER) THEY BAKE! THEY FARM! IT, TO ME, IS SO AMAZING 18:10 THAT THEY DO ALL THIS. ANTS ARE GOOD SHEPHERDS. 18:15 THAT'S RIGHT, ANTS ACTUALLY HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHER 18:20 INSECTS WHERE THEY RANCH THESE INSECTS. 18:24 FOR INSTANCE, THERE ARE ANTS THAT THEY SHEPHERD AND HERD 18:29 THESE LITTLE APHIDS. I THINK WE'VE GOT SOME PICTURES 18:32 ON THE SCREEN - YEAH, HERE ARE A COUPLE OF BIG ANTS THAT ARE 18:36 TAKING CARE OF - SEE THE LITTLE APHIDS? 18:38 THEY DON'T EAT THE APHIDS, THEY TAKE THE APHIDS, THEY CAREFULLY 18:41 BRING THEM FROM ONE PLANT TO ANOTHER, THE APHIDS THEN LOCK 18:44 ON THAT PLANT - THEY LIKE IT, THEY EAT THE PLANT - THE APHIDS 18:46 THEN EXUDE A SAP THAT IS SWEET. 18:49 THE ANTS EAT THAT - IT'S KIND OF LIKE, YOU KNOW, YOU MILK A GOAT 18:54 OR SHEEP OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT - AND THEN THEY - WHEN THEY'VE 18:58 HARVESTED THAT FIELD THEY TAKE THEIR LITTLE APHIDS - ANYONE 19:01 TRIES TO GET THEIR APHIDS, THE ANTS'LL GO AFTER THE LADYBUGS 19:04 THAT TRY AND EAT THEIR APHIDS - THEY THEN TAKE THEIR APHIDS OFF, 19:06 THEY CARRY THEM VERY TENDERLY - THEY DON'T BITE THEM OR HURT 19:09 THEM - THEY WATCH OUT FOR THE LITTLE APHID BABIES, LIKE 19:12 SHEPHERDS DO THEIR LAMBS - TAKE THEM OFF TO ANOTHER PLANT AND 19:15 LET THEM FORAGE ON THE PLANT - IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE. 19:20 AND YOU KNOW WHAT'S REALLY AMAZING TO ME? 19:21 IT ONLY TOOK 50 MILLION YEARS FOR ALL OF THIS TO EVOLVE. 19:24 (LAUGHTER) NOW KIDS, PASTOR DOUG IS BEING A LITTLE BIT SARCASTIC 19:28 HERE. I DON'T MEAN THAT. I BELIEVE IN CREATION. 19:31 I DON'T BELIEVE THAT ANTS EVOLVED. 19:32 BUT IT IS FUNNY, YOU HEAR SOME OF THE EVOLUTIONISTS, THEY SAY, 19:36 'ANTS ARE AMAZING' - THIS IS WHAT THE EVOLUTIONISTS SAY - 19:38 'YOU KNOW, THEY HAVEN'T CHANGED SINCE THE TIME OF THE 19:42 DINOSAURS.' BECAUSE, WHEN THEY SEE FOSSILS, THEY'RE BIGGER, BUT 19:47 THEY JUST LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ANTS TODAY. 19:49 THEY SEE THE FOSSILS AND SOME OF THEM WERE TRAPPED IN THIS AMBER 19:53 SAP, YOU KNOW, AND YOU COULD HOLD IT UP TO THE LIGHT AND 19:56 YOU'LL SEE THIS ANT, THEY SAY, IS MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD, BUT 19:59 THEY LOOK EXACTLY LIKE ANTS TODAY AND, I MEAN, YOU JUST 20:05 THINK ABOUT IT IN THE WORLD TODAY, LIKE I SAID, THERE ARE 20:07 8,800 KNOWN VARIETIES OF ANT. THEY ARE FEARFULLY AND 20:12 MARVELOUSLY MADE AS CREATURES THAT REALLY HELP DO A LOT OF 20:16 THINGS FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. SO THEY'RE GOOD SHEPHERDS. 20:20 CHRISTIANS SHOULD BE GOOD SHEPHERDS. 20:21 JESUS SAID, 'I AM THE GOOD SHEPHERD.' THE GOOD SHEPHERD 20:24 GIVES HIS LIFE FOR THE SHEEP. ANTS WILL LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES 20:27 TO PROTECT THEIR APHIDS. A SHEPHERD SEES THE WOLF COMING 20:33 AND HE LEAVES - A BAD SHEPHERD SEES A WOLF COMING, HE LEAVES 20:37 THE SHEEP AND HE FLEES AND THE WOLF CATCHES THE SHEEP AND 20:40 SCATTERS THEM, BUT A GOOD SHEPHERD LAYS DOWN HIS LIFE. 20:43 JOHN 21:16, JESUS SAID TO PETER, 'DO YOU LOVE ME?' 20:48 HE SAID, 'LORD, YOU KNOW THAT I LOVE YOU.' HE SAID, 'TEND MY 20:50 SHEEP.' CHRISTIANS SHOULD CARE FOR THE SHEEP. 20:55 WE OUGHT TO TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER. 20:57 ANTS ARE GOOD SHEPHERDS. ANTS ALSO - THEY'VE GOT THESE 21:00 ANTS CALLED 'PARASOL ANTS' - THEY ARE LEAF CUTTER ANTS. 21:06 HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF THOSE BEFORE? 21:08 THE - AND I THINK WE'VE GOT A PICTURE HERE WE'RE GOING TO SHOW 21:10 YOU REAL QUICK. THEY CALL THEM PARASOL ANTS 21:13 BECAUSE THEY'RE OFTEN SEEN WALKING IN A PROCESSION CARRYING 21:16 THESE BIG LEAVES OVER THEIR HEADS AND IT LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY 21:18 CARRYING A PARASOL OR AN UMBRELLA. 21:20 WELL, THEY'RE NOT DOING IT FOR THAT REASON, THEY HARVEST THE 21:25 LEAVES FROM TREES IN THE RAINFOREST - NOW, WHAT THEY DO, 21:27 IT'S AMAZING. GOD HAS GIVEN THEM MANDIBLES - 21:31 THE LITTLE SCISSORS ON THEIR FACE - AND THEY'LL GO UP AND 21:35 THEY VIBRATE THEIR HEADS AT A VERY HIGH PITCH AND THEY CUT 21:41 INTO THE LEAF AND THEY CUT LITTLE SECTIONS OF LEAF - AND 21:44 THEY KNOW HOW TO CUT THEM ALL JUST ABOUT WHAT THEY CAN CARRY - 21:47 AND, BY THE WAY, YOU KNOW AN ANT CAN CARRY? 21:51 THEY'RE STRONG - AN ANT CAN CARRY FIFTY TIMES THEIR OWN 21:56 WEIGHT AND THEY CAN HOLD, WITH THEIR ARMS, ABOUT THREE TIMES 22:01 THAT - ONE ANT'S ARM CAN HOLD UP MUCH MORE THAN EVEN FIFTY TIMES 22:06 IT'S OWN WEIGHT. IT'S FASCINATING HOW STRONG THEY 22:08 ARE, POUND FOR POUND, OF ANY INSECT. 22:11 ANYWAY, BACK TO THE PARASOL ANTS OR THE LEAF CUTTER ANTS. 22:14 THEY VIBRATE THEIR HEADS - I DON'T KNOW IF ANY OF YOU 22:16 REMEMBER, YEARS AGO - I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY LATELY - THEY USED TO 22:19 HAVE ELECTRIC KNIVES. IT WAS TWO SERRATED KNIVES - I 22:23 THINK THEY WERE PROBABLY JUST A BIG PAIN TO SHARPEN - I HAVEN'T 22:25 SEEN ONE IN YEARS - AND YOU'D LAY IT ON THE TURKEY - I DON'T 22:28 EAT TURKEY ANYMORE - BUT YOU'D JUST LAY IT ON THE TURKEY AND 22:30 YOU'D PRESS YOUR ELECTRIC KNIFE AND IT'D GO 'ZHHH ZHHH' 22:33 THROUGH VIBRATION. I'VE GOT A FRIEND 22:34 THAT GAVE ME A RAZOR. HE SAID, 'DOUG, THIS IS THE 22:37 BEST RAZOR IN THE WORLD. IT'S GOT A BATTERY AND IT 22:39 VIBRATES AND, AS YOU SHAVE - IT'S A REGULAR LITTLE - LOOKS 22:44 LIKE A DISPOSABLE RAZOR - IT'S GOT A VI - HE SAYS IT CUTS A LOT 22:47 BETTER BECAUSE IT VIBRATES - AND IT REALLY DOES, BUT I GOT TIRED 22:50 OF THE BATTERIES SO I DON'T USE IT ANYMORE. 22:52 BUT THESE ANTS ACTUALLY HAVE VIBRATING HEADS THAT CUT THROUGH 22:58 THE LEAVES, THEY CUT THESE SECTIONS OF LEAVES, THEY THEN 23:00 TAKE THEM DOWN INTO THEIR DENS WHERE A MOLD FORMS AND THE 23:05 LEAVES - THEY DON'T EAT THE LEAVES - THE LEAVES ALL TURN 23:08 INTO MOLD, THEY THEN TAKE THE MOLD - THEY MAKE LOAVES OF BREAD 23:11 OUT OF THE MOLD AND THEY, BASICALLY ARE FARMING MOLD FROM 23:15 THE LEAVES, AND THAT'S WHAT THEY EAT WAY DOWN IN THE NEST AND 23:19 IT'S MAKING NATURAL COMPOST FOR THE ENVIRONMENT. 23:23 HARVEST OR LEAF CUTTING ANTS - THEY'RE CALLED FUNGUS GARDENERS 23:28 - ALL THESE DIFFERENT KINDS OF ANTS. 23:30 THEY STORE UP FOR THE TIME OF FAMINE. 23:35 DOES THE BIBLE TELL A STORY ABOUT A CHRISTIAN WHO WAS FAMOUS 23:37 FOR STORING UP FOR A FAMINE? >>JOSEPH. 23:41 >>WHAT WAS HIS NAME? JOSEPH. YEAH, HE PREPARED. 23:44 HE SAID, 'THERE'S A FAMINE COMING. 23:45 YOU NEED TO STORE AWAY BREAD. THESE ANTS ARE DOING THAT, 23:48 NOT THE GRASSHOPPERS. THEN THEY'VE GOT ANTS 23:51 CALLED THE WEAVER ANTS. THIS IS AMAZING TO ME. 23:54 THESE ANTS, THEY BUILD THEIR NESTS NOT IN THE GROUND - AND, 23:58 YOU KNOW, THERE ARE ANTS THAT LIVE JUST ABOUT IN EVERY 24:00 ENVIRONMENT. THESE ANTS LIVE UP IN THE TREES. 24:02 THEY DON'T LIVE IN A TREE, THEY LIVE IN THE LEAVES. 24:05 THEY'LL GET THESE TREES THAT HAVE BIG LEAVES AND A BUNCH OF 24:08 THE ANTS'LL WORK TOGETHER AND THEY WILL PULL THE LEAVES OF THE 24:12 TREE TOGETHER - I THINK WE MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER PICTURE OF THAT 24:15 COMING UP HERE IN A SECOND. UH, MAYBE NOT - ANYWAY, THEY - 24:22 THESE ARE STILL LEAF CUTTER ANTS HERE THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT HERE. 24:25 THESE AREN'T THE WEAVER ANTS - THEY'RE CUTTING LITTLE SECTIONS 24:27 OF LEAF. THE WEAVER ANTS PULL LEAVES 24:29 TOGETHER AND ALL THESE ANTS WILL SLOWLY PULL THE LEAF AND EACH 24:33 ONE WILL HELP - AND IT'S HARD FOR THEM TO PULL A BIG LEAF 24:35 TOGETHER - THEN THEY TAKE A BABY ANT AND THEY SIGNAL THE BABY 24:40 AND THE BABY ANT IN THE LARVAE EXUDES A SILK LIKE A SPIDER AND 24:44 THE ANT WILL TOUCH THE TIP OF THE BABY, WHERE THE SILK IS 24:48 COMING OUT, TO THE LEAF AND IT SEWS THE LEAVES TOGETHER 24:52 AND IT MAKES A HOUSE. AND SOME OF THESE ANTS THAT 24:55 ARE HOLDING THE LEAF WHILE THE SEAMSTRESS ANT IS SEWING THE 24:58 LEAF TOGETHER, WILL STAY IN POSITION FOR THREE DAYS, HOLDING 25:02 IT IN PLACE FOR THE OTHERS TO SEW IT. 25:06 IT'S JUST INCREDIBLE TO ME HOW THEY ALL COOPERATE USING THEIR 25:10 VARIOUS GIFTS. HMMM, MAKES ME THINK OF A CHURCH. 25:13 (LAUGHTER) WEAVER ANTS - A COLONY MIGHT HAVE A HUNDRED AND 25:17 FIFTY NESTS IN TWENTY TREES OVER A SPAN OF 600 YARDS. 25:21 YOU KNOW WHAT MEN DO IN SOME COUNTRIES? 25:23 THEY'LL TAKE ON OF THESE BUNDLES - IT LOOKS LIKE ABOUT A 25:25 FOOTBALL-SIZED LEAF AND THE ANTS LIVE INSIDE. 25:28 THEY'LL CAREFULLY TAKE ONE OF THOSE, THEY THEN PLACE IT IN 25:31 THEIR TREES AND IT KEEPS AWAY THE PESTS, YET IT PROTECTS THE 25:36 FRUIT, AND SO THEY TAKE THESE - EVEN PEOPLE HAVE SOME SYMBIOTIC 25:40 RELATIONSHIPS WITH ANTS. THEN WE'VE GOT ANTS THAT 25:43 ARE CALLED HONEY POT ANTS. NOW THESE ARE REALLY 25:47 BIZARRE-LOOKING CREATURES AND THEY LOOK VERY MUCH 25:50 LIKE THE NAME SUGGESTS. THERE'S A HONEY POT 25:53 ANT - THAT'S ONE ANT. NOW, THEY AREN'T BORN THAT 25:56 WAY, THEY GET THAT WAY. OF COURSE, WE'RE NOT BORN THAT 25:58 WAY EITHER - SOME OF US GET THAT WAY TOO, BUT HONEY POT ANTS 26:03 ARE - THEY DON'T DO IT TO THEMSELVES, THEY ARE HYPER FED 26:07 BY THE REST OF THE COLONY AND I DON'T KNOW WHO THEY DECIDE DOES 26:11 IT, BUT THEY'LL - THEY HAVE A LOTTERY OR SOMETHING AND THEY'LL 26:14 SAY, 'ALRIGHT, WHO WANTS TO BE THE HONEY POT?' 26:15 AND THEN ALL THE OTHER ANTS WILL FEED THESE ANTS AND THESE ANTS 26:19 PUT ON QUITE A BIT OF SAP AND THEN THEY HANG - DO YOU HAVE 26:25 THAT OTHER PICTURE, SHERLE? WHERE THEY'RE HANGING 26:27 FROM THE ROOF? YEAH, THERE THEY ARE. LOOK AT THAT. 26:30 THEN THEY WILL HANG FROM THE ROOF OF THE DEN SUSPENDED LIKE 26:33 THAT AND WHEN THE LEAN TIMES COME ALONG, THE OTHER ANTS COME 26:38 UP TO THEM AND THEY STROKE THEM WITH THEIR - NOT THEIR ANTLERS - 26:42 THEIR ANTENNAE AND THEY SEND A SIGNAL AND THEY'LL TURN AROUND 26:45 AND THEN THEY, BASICALLY, REGURGITATE SOME OF THE FOOD FOR 26:49 THEM. THEY FEED ALL THE OTHERS 26:52 WHAT THEY HAVE STORED. YOU KNOW, ONE REASON FOR 26:56 US TO STUDY THE WORD? THE BIBLE SAYS THE WORD OF THE 26:59 LORD AND THE LAW OF THE LORD IS SWEETER THAN HONEY IN THE 27:02 HONEYCOMB. AND WE NEED TO STORE THAT UP NOT JUST FOR OURSELVES, 27:06 BUT THAT WE MIGHT HAVE SOMETHING TO SHARE WITH OTHERS. 27:10 AND SO, THEN WE - YOU FEED YOUR SOUL NOT JUST FOR YOURSELF BUT 27:14 SO THAT YOU CAN SHARE THE WORD WITH OTHERS. 27:17 AND SO, THESE HONEY POT ANTS THEY - I MEAN, IT'S JUST AMAZING 27:21 TO ME. THEY'RE ALL ANTS - AND LOOK AT 27:23 THE INCREDIBLE VARIETY OF WAYS - IF THEY ALL EVOLVED FROM THE 27:28 SAME ANTS, HOW DID THEY EVOLVE SUCH INCREDIBLY DIFFERENT 27:31 METHODS FOR FEEDING THEMSELVES DURING THE HUNGRY TIMES? 27:36 TO ME, IT'S JUST AMAZING. PHILIPPIANS 2:4, "LET EACH OF 27:41 YOU LOOK OUT NOT ONLY FOR HIS OWN INTERESTS, BUT FOR 27:44 THE INTERESTS OF OTHERS." THEY, BASICALLY, SACRIFICE 27:47 THEMSELVES TO FEED THE OTHERS DURING THE LEAN TIMES. 27:54 I HEARD A STORY ONE TIME ABOUT A PERSON THAT WAS TAKEN, IN A 27:57 DREAM, AND THEY WERE SHOWN HEAVEN AND EVERYBODY AT HEAVEN 28:05 WAS SITTING AT A BANQUET TABLE COVERED WITH THE MOST DELECTABLE 28:09 FOOD AND THEY WERE ALL VERY HAPPY. 28:12 AND THEN THEY WERE SHOWN A PICTURE OF HELL AND THEY WERE 28:15 SURPRISED TO SEE THAT EVERYBODY IN HELL WAS AT A SIMILAR BANQUET 28:18 TABLE WITH ALL THE SAME FOOD, AND THEY WERE MISERABLE. 28:23 AND THE MAN TURNED TO HIS ANGEL, HE SAID, 'I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT, 28:25 IT LOOKS LIKE THE PEOPLE IN HELL HAVE THE SAME BANQUET TABLE AS 28:28 THE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN, BUT THE PEOPLE IN HELL LOOK SO UNHAPPY - 28:31 THEY'RE ALL MISERABLE AND CRYING, AND THE PEOPLE IN HEAVEN 28:33 ARE ALL SO HAPPY.' AND HE SAID, 'LOOK CLOSER.' AND THE ANGEL 28:37 BROUGHT HIM CLOSER TO THE TABLES AND HE SAW THAT IN HEAVEN THEY 28:41 ALL HAD CHOPSTICKS ON THEIR HANDS AND THEY WERE THREE FEET 28:46 LONG AND THEY COULD ONLY EAT WITH THE CHOPSTICKS, BUT THEY 28:51 COULDN'T GET THE CHOPSTICKS IN THEIR OWN MOUTHS SO THEY FED 28:53 EACH OTHER SO THEY WERE HAPPY. IN HELL, THEY ONLY THOUGHT ABOUT 28:56 FEEDING THEMSELVES SO THEY COULDN'T EAT AND 28:59 THEY WERE UNHAPPY. (LAUGHTER) THEY HAD THE 29:01 CHOPSTICKS THERE TOO. AND SO, YOU KNOW, THAT'S ONE OF 29:06 THE KEYS TO HAPPINESS IN LIFE IS - YOU KNOW, WE HAD AN ADAGE ON 29:13 THE STREET, IT WAS, 'WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND' - 'DO UNTO 29:16 OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU.' 'GIVE AND IT WILL BE 29:19 GIVEN UNTO YOU, GOOD MEASURE, PRESSED DOWN, SHAKEN TOGETHER, 29:22 AND RUNNING OVER WILL MEN HEAP INTO YOUR BOSOM,' JESUS SAID, 29:25 'FOR WITH WHAT MEASURE YOU MEET, IT WILL BE MEASURED 29:28 TO YOU AGAIN. AND, IF WE'RE ONLY THINKING 29:30 ABOUT WHAT WE CAN GET FOR OURSELVES - BUT IF WE'RE 29:34 THINKING ABOUT WHAT WE CAN GIVE TO OTHERS - I THOUGHT THAT 29:37 WAS A GREAT ILLUSTRATION. PEOPLE IN HELL WERE STARVING 29:40 BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T FEED OTHERS WITH THEIR CHOPSTICKS. 29:44 EPHESIANS, 'LET HIM WHO STOLE STEAL NO LONGER, BUT RATHER 29:48 LABOR WORKING WITH HIS HANDS WHAT IS GOOD THAT HE MIGHT HAVE 29:52 SOMETHING TO GIVE TO HIM WHO HAS NEED.' 1 TIMOTHY 6:18, 29:57 "...READY TO GIVE, WILLING TO SHARE." 30:00 AND THEN HERE'S A - HERE'S A PART ABOUT ANTS THAT IS EASY TO 30:04 REMEMBER: ANTS ARE GOOD SOLDIERS. 30:07 THEY - YOU'VE HEARD OF ARMY ANTS? 30:10 AND THEN, YOU KNOW, ARMY ANTS ACTUALLY DON'T LIVE IN THE 30:14 BARRACKS, THEY KIND OF BIVOUAC WHERE - NOW SEE THAT ANT HERE? 30:18 THAT'S ONE OF THE SOLDIER ANTS. YOU NO - NOTICE HE'S 30:20 GOT AN INTERESTING HEAD. YOU KNOW WHY? 30:22 SOME OF THE ANTS HAVE A HEAD THAT IS MADE FOR BLOCKING THE 30:25 DOOR TO THE DEN AND WHAT HE DOES IS HE JUST STANDS THERE ALL THE 30:28 TIME AND HE GUARDS THE DOOR AND HE STICKS IT AND HE PLUGS IT 30:31 WITH HIS HEAD. I'VE GOT A HEAD LIKE THAT TOO, DON'T I? 30:34 I COULD - (LAUGHTER) - AND THEY'VE GOT - IT'S NOT A SAND - 30:38 SOMETIMES THEY'RE IN A TREE OR SOMETHING AND THEY WILL BLOCK 30:40 THE HOLE AND THE OTHER ANTS WILL COME ALONG AND THEY'LL STROKE 30:43 THE CODE WITH THEIR ANTENNAE AND THEY'LL SAY, 'OKAY, IT'S A 30:46 FRIEND' AND HE'LL OPEN UP AND HE'LL LET THEM IN AND THEN HE 30:48 PLUGS THE DOOR AGAIN. IF IT'S AN ENEMY ANT, THEY CAN'T 30:51 GET THROUGH BECAUSE HE STANDS THERE AND HE GUARDS THE WAY TO 30:55 KEEP THE WHOLE COLONY SAFE. THEN, OF COURSE, YOU'VE GOT SOME 30:58 ANTS, THEY DON'T HAVE THE BIG HEADS BUT THEY HAVE BIG 31:00 MANDIBLES - THEY'RE VERY STRONG - AND THEY HAVE - THEY CAN 31:06 DO A LOT OF DAMAGE WITH THAT. WHEN YOU HAVE ARMY ANTS AND THEY 31:09 GO ON A - A FORAY THROUGH THE JUNGLE TO FEED - YOU'VE GOT THE 31:15 - ALL OF THEM HAVE DIFFERENT JOBS. SOME OF THEM ARE ON THE 31:17 FRONT - THEY'RE THE BIG ONES, THEY'RE THE STRONG ONES, AND 31:20 THEY ALSO STAND AND GUARD THE COLONY THAT IS MOVING DOWN THIS 31:23 ROAD AND - ANY OF YOU EVER SEE ARMY ANTS? 31:26 USUALLY THEY'RE NOT HERE. YOU'LL SEE THEM LIKE IN CENTRAL 31:28 AMERICA OR SOUTH AMERICA. YOU'VE SEEN THEM - MAYBE YOU'VE 31:31 SEEN THEM ON TV, BUT WHEN IT COMES TIME TO GO ON THE RUN, 31:37 THEY KIND OF GO ON A FORAY LOOKING FOR FOOD, THEY 31:40 TAKE EVERYBODY WITH THEM. AT THE END OF THE DAY, THEY 31:43 BIVOUAC - THEY DON'T HAVE COLONIES, THEY DON'T LIVE IN A 31:46 TREE, THEY DON'T LIVE IN THE GROUND - THEY WILL ALL LIKE HANG 31:49 FROM A BUSH OR SOMETHING AND, SOME OF THE ANTS, THEIR JOB 31:52 IS TO BE PART OF THE WALL. AND THEY ALL LOCK THEIR ARMS 31:55 TOGETHER AND THEY CREATE A BIG NEST OUT OF THEIR BODIES. 31:59 THE QUEEN THEY CARRY ALONG, ALL THE BABIES THEY CARRY ALONG - 32:02 THEY'RE ALL ON THE INSIDE - ALL THE FOOD IS KIND OF CARRIED 32:04 ALONG AND EATEN ON THE FLY. THEY DON'T HAVE TO STORE IT IN 32:09 CENTRAL AMERICA BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE WINTER LIKE WE DO, SO 32:12 THEY JUST EAT THEIR FOOD ALL THE TIME. 32:14 BUT IT WAS LIKE A ROAMING ARMY. BUT THEY'VE GOT SOME OF THEM 32:17 THAT ARE THE GUARDS - THEY'RE THE SOLDIERS IN THE COLONY. 32:22 THE BIBLE SAYS - 2 TIMOTHY 2:3 AND 4, "THOU THEREFORE ENDURE 32:26 HARDNESS, AS A GOOD SOLDIER OF JESUS CHRIST. 32:29 NO MAN THAT WARRETH ENTANGLETH HIMSELF WITH THE AFFAIRS OF THIS 32:33 LIFE; THAT HE MAY PLEASE HIM WHO HATH CHOSEN HIM TO BE A 32:36 SOLDIER." SO THEY ARE GREAT BURDEN BEARERS TOO. 32:43 YOU'VE PROBABLY SEEN ANTS GOING ALONG AND THEY'VE GOT - THERE'S 32:46 A PICTURE WITH THE SOLDIER ANTS - ONE OF THE - HE'S GOT THE BIG 32:50 MANDIBLES AND THEY CAN CARRY GREAT ARMIES OF THINGS. 32:55 ARMY OF - A CLUSTER OR COLONY OF SOLDIER ANTS MIGHT HAVE 15,000 33:00 ANTS IN THE NEST THAT HOOK THEIR LEGS TOGETHER TO MAKE THE TEMPLE 33:04 FOR ALL THE OTHERS. YOU KNOW, THE BIBLE SAYS THAT 33:07 YOU AND I ARE LIVING STONES IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD AND WE, 33:13 TOGETHER - IF THIS CHURCH BUILDING IS DESTROYED, DO 33:16 WE STILL HAVE A CHURCH? >>YES. 33:17 >>WHY? BECAUSE YOU ARE THE CHURCH OF 33:20 GOD, IT'S NOT THE BUILDING, AND WE ARE LIVING HABITATION 33:24 THAT IS FILLED WITH THE LORD. SO I ALWAYS THOUGHT 33:27 THAT WAS INTERESTING. THEY'RE LIKE THE 33:28 BUILDING ON THE MOVE. ANTS ARE FEARLESS. 33:33 THEY DON'T, TYPICALLY, RUN FROM A FIGHT. 33:37 HEBREWS 11:13 TALKS ABOUT THE HEROES OF FAITH, "THESE ALL DIED 33:42 IN FAITH...AND CONFESSED THAT THEY WERE STRANGERS AND PILGRIMS 33:45 ON THE EARTH." NOW THERE YOU'VE GOT A PICTURE 33:47 OF AN ANT BITING SOMEBODY. I KNOW THAT LOOKS A LITTLE 33:50 SCARY, BUT ONE REASON I'M SHOWING YOU THAT - AN ANT IS 33:54 NOT AFRAID TO ATTACK SOMETHING THAT'S A THOUSAND TIMES BIGGER 33:58 THAN ITSELF, KIND OF LIKE DAVID AND GOLIATH. THEY WILL LAY THEIR 34:03 LIVES DOWN FOR THE COLONY. THAT PARTICULAR VARIETY OF ANT 34:10 WILL LOCK ONTO SOMETHING AND WILL NOT LET GO. 34:14 AND I DON'T KNOW WHO FIGURED THIS OUT, BUT SOME WHILE AGO, 34:17 SOMEONE GOT AN IDEA AND IF YOU'D GO TO PULL THAT ANT OFF, I KNOW 34:22 IT'S NOT A PLEASANT THOUGHT, BUT HIS HEAD WILL DETACH AND HIS 34:25 BODY WILL BE PULLED AWAY, BUT HIS HEAD WILL STAY THERE WITH 34:28 THE MANDIBLES HOOKING INTO THE SKIN. 34:31 DOCTORS LEARNED, FROM NATIVES IN AFRICA, THAT WHEN SOMEBODY HAD A 34:38 CUT, THEY WOULD USE THE HEAD OF THESE ANTS AS SUTURES. 34:41 THEY TAKE A LIVING ANT, WITH A COUPLE OF TWEEZERS, THEY'D PUT 34:46 IT OVER THE WOUND, THE ANT WOULD PULL THE WOUND CLOSED, THEY 34:49 WOULD TWIST IT AND BREAK IT OFF AND IT WOULD STAY THERE - THE 34:51 HEAD WOULD STAY THERE - AND THEY USED THE HEAD AS SUTURES. 34:55 NOW, I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SPIRITUAL ILLUSTRATION IS IN 34:57 THAT, BUT I JUST THOUGHT IT WAS AN INTERESTING FACT. 34:59 THAT'S AN EXAMPLE OF WHAT THEY DO THERE. 35:03 THEY ARE FEARLESS AND THEY ARE BRAVE. 35:06 AND THEN, ONE OF THE IMPORTANT THINGS FOR OUR MESSAGE TODAY: 35:10 THEY WORK TOGETHER - THEY COOPERATE - ALL THE ANTS FROM 35:15 ONE COLONY WILL ALL SUPPORT AND WORK TOGETHER. 35:18 I KNOW SOMETIMES IT LOOKS LIKE - YOU EVER SEE ANTS WHERE SEVERAL 35:21 ANTS ARE CARRYING SOMETHING AND ONE OF THEM LOOKS LIKE HE'S 35:23 CAUSING MORE PROBLEMS - HE'S JUST HANGING ON? 35:26 HE'S THE MANAGER. (LAUGHTER) HE'S GIVING INSTRUCTIONS. 35:31 I THOUGHT THAT WAS A CUTE ILLUSTRATION THERE. 35:33 YEAH, THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER. THEY ALL COOPERATE. 35:36 ROMANS 12:4 THROUGH 6, "FOR AS WE HAVE MANY MEMBERS IN ONE 35:42 BODY, BUT ALL THE MEMBERS DO NOT HAVE THE SAME OFFICE [FUNCTION], 35:45 SO WE, BEING MANY, ARE ONE BODY IN CHRIST," - WE TALKED ABOUT 35:48 THIS LAST WEEK - AND INDIVIDUALLY MEMBERS OF ONE 35:51 ANOTHER. HAVING THEN GIFTS DIFFERING 35:54 ACCORDING TO THE GRACE THAT IS GIVEN TO US". 35:57 AND 1 CORINTHIANS 12, VERSE 4 - "THERE ARE DIVERSITIES OF GIFTS, 36:01 BUT THE SAME SPIRIT. THERE ARE DIFFERENCES OF 36:03 MINISTRIES, BUT THE SAME LORD. AND THERE ARE DIVERSITIES OF 36:07 ACTIVITIES, BUT THE SAME GOD WHO WORKS ALL IN ALL. 36:11 BUT THE MANIFESTATION OF THE SPIRIT IS GIVEN TO EACH ONE FOR 36:14 THE PROFIT OF ALL." YOU KNOW, SCIENTISTS STILL 36:18 HAVE NOT FIGURED OUT HOW ANTS COMMUNICATE. 36:21 NOW, THEY KNOW THAT ANTS, WHEN THEY'RE ON THE RUN OR WHEN 36:24 THEY'RE FORAGING FOR FOOD, THEY LAY DOWN A CHEMICAL TRAIL AND 36:27 THESE PHORMONES - OR WHAT DO YOU CALL THEM? 36:29 PHEROMONES - THAT THEY CAN FIND THEIR WAY TO FOOD AND ONE OF 36:34 THEM WILL KIND OF LEAVE A TRAIL THAT THEY CAN SMELL AND THEY 36:37 FIND THEIR WAY BACK, BUT WHAT THEY DON'T KNOW IS WHEN ANTS GO 36:41 TO BEGIN WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD A COLONY - CATHY WAS 36:45 SAYING, 'PASTOR DOUG, YOU BROUGHT A MANNEQUIN IN LAST 36:47 WEEK, ARE YOU GOING TO BRING AN ANT FARM THIS WEEK?' 36:51 I WISH I COULD - THAT'D REALLY BE FUN. 36:53 I'D HAVE TO MAGNIFY IT FOR YOU. BUT WHEN THEY BUILD A COLONY 36:58 THERE ARE ANTS THAT ALL SEEM TO KNOW, WITHOUT ANYBODY GIVING 37:02 DIRECTIONS, WHAT THEIR ASSIGNMENT IS. 37:04 IT'S ALMOST LIKE THEY ARE SPIRIT LED. 37:08 IT'S LIKE THEY HAVE ONE COLLECTIVE BRAIN THAT'S GUIDING 37:11 EACH ONE OF THEM, AND SOME OF THEM KNOW, 'I'M THE GUARD AND I 37:16 KNOW WHAT MY JOB IS.' I DON'T KNOW WHERE THEY GO TO SCHOOL TO 37:19 LEARN WHAT THEIR JOB IS, BUT THEY SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THEIR JOB 37:21 IS. SOME WILL SAY, 'I'M IN THE NURSERY. 37:23 I TAKE CARE OF THE BABIES.' SOME WILL SAY, 'ALRIGHT, I'M A SCOUT. 37:27 I GO LOOKING FOR FOOD.' OTHERS SAY, 'WE'RE BURDEN BEARERS. 37:31 WE CARRY THE FOOD.' OTHERS WILL SAY, 'WE KNOW HOW TO BUILD THE 37:33 VENTILATION PART OF THE NEST. WE DO THE VENTILATION PART.' 37:37 SOMEONE ELSE SAYS, 'WE DO THE STORAGE CHAMBERS OF THE 37:39 NEST.' ALL THESE DIFFERENT RESPONSIBILITIES AND YOU'RE 37:43 WONDERING, 'WHERE DID THEY GET THIS? HOW DO THEY KNOW?' 37:47 THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME - WELL, NOT - SOME OF THE ANTS - THE 37:51 SOLDIER ANTS ARE BIGGER THAN THE REGULAR ANTS - THE GUARD ANTS - 37:54 BUT, IN MANY SPECIES OF ANT THEY ALL LOOK THE SAME, BUT THEY ALL 37:58 SEEM TO KNOW WHAT THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IS. 38:01 KIND OF MADE ME THINK ABOUT THE CHURCH, WHERE WE ARE ALL 38:05 SERVANTS OF THE LORD. WE'RE ALL THE BODY OF CHRIST, 38:09 BUT THE HOLY SPIRIT IS DIRECTING US ALL TO USE OUR RESPECTIVE 38:12 TALENTS AND GIFTS IN BUILDING UP THE BODY. 38:16 AND, I KNOW, BUT IT'S KIND OF HARD FOR US TO SAY, 'PASTOR 38:21 DOUG, YOU MADE US ALL WANT TO BE BETTER ANTS AT THE END OF THE 38:24 DAY.' BUT THERE'S SOMETHING WE CAN LEARN FROM THESE THINGS. 38:29 I MEAN, SOLOMON SAID, 'CONSIDER THE ANT' AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE 38:31 DOING TODAY. THEN THEY'VE GOT THESE ANTS THAT 38:35 ARE CALLED 'TRAP-JAW ANTS'. THEY HOLD THE RECORD FOR HAVING 38:42 THE FASTEST MOVING BIOLOGICAL MECHANISM IN NATURE; THERE'S 38:46 A SHRIMP THAT COMES IN SECOND PLACE THAT CAN SNAP 38:49 ITS CLAW VERY QUICK. THESE TRAP-JAW ANTS CAN CLOSE 38:55 THEIR MANDIBLES AT 145 MILES AN HOUR - THAT IS A MERE 0.13 39:04 MILLISECONDS AND THEY CAN - WHEN THEY ENCOUNTER SOMETHING THEY 39:09 CAN SNAP THEIR JAWS SHUT. IT'S JUST AN AMAZING FACT - 39:12 PROBABLY THE ONLY SPIRITUAL ANALOGY WOULD BE THEY KNOW HOW 39:16 TO CLOSE THEIR MOUTHS (LAUGHTER) VERY QUICKLY. 39:23 SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT ANTS IS THEY PROTECT THEIR OWN. 39:29 YOU KNOW, SOMEONE SAID ONCE, 'SOME CHRISTIANS THEY SEEM TO 39:33 SPECIALIZE IN SHOOTING THEIR OWN WOUNDED AND ANTS ARE VERY GOOD 39:38 AT PROTECTING THEIR OWN. IN FACT, ALL ANTS IN 39:42 A COLONY ARE BRETHREN. MOST OF THEM ARE SISTERS. 39:47 THERE ARE A FEW MALES THAT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE QUEEN 39:50 AND THE REST OF THEM ARE ALL FEMALES THAT ARE DOING THE WORK, 39:54 BUT THEY'RE ALL RELATED. AND IF YOU CHECK THEIR DNA, YOU 39:58 CAN TELL WHICH ANTS BELONG TO WHICH COLONY. 40:01 THERE ARE SIGNATURES THAT EVERY COLONY HAS THAT IS DISTINCT. 40:06 THEY HAVE THESE - JUST ANOTHER SIDE NOTE - THERE'S THESE ANTS 40:09 NOW THAT HAVE BECOME SOMETHING OF A PLAGUE AROUND EUROPE. 40:12 THEY'RE CALLED ARGENTINEAN ANTS AND THEY CAME OVER ON SOME 40:16 BOATS, AS NEAR AS THEY CAN FIGURE, AND THESE ANTS ALL WERE 40:21 PART OF ONE COLONY THAT SOMEHOW GOT ON A BOAT FROM SOUTH 40:25 AMERICA, THEY FOUND THEIR WAY TO ITALY, AND THIS ONE COLONY NOW - 40:31 ONE COLONY OF ANTS HAS SPREAD ALL THE WAY UP THE COAST OF 40:35 ITALY, AROUND THE MEDITERRANEAN, TO SPAIN. 40:39 AND THEY'RE ALL AN INVASIVE SPECIES. 40:42 I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE HEARD OF THAT BEFORE - THESE ARGENTINEAN 40:45 ANTS THAT HAVE SPREAD EVERYWHERE - BUT THEY'RE ALL RELATED. 40:48 WE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS WHEN WE'RE PART OF THE CHRISTIAN 40:52 COLONY, SO TO SPEAK. AND, YOU KNOW, IN OUR LITTLE 40:56 CHURCH I USED TO PASTOR. WHEN I FIRST JOINED THERE 41:00 EVERYBODY CALLED EVERYBODY 'BROTHER SO-AND-SO' 41:03 AND 'SISTER SO-AND-SO'. DO ANY OF YOU 41:05 REMEMBER THOSE DAYS? >>AMEN. 41:08 >>WE DON'T DO THAT SO MUCH ANYMORE NOW. 41:11 AND THE KIDS ALWAYS CALL THE ADULTS 'AUNT'. 41:15 TO THIS VERY DAY OUR KIDS THAT ARE IN THEIR 30S AND 40S, WHEN 41:18 THEY MEET SOME OF OUR OLD FRIENDS FROM COVOLO IT'S 'UNCLE 41:21 JOE' 'AUNT ROXIE' 'AUNT LINDA' - EVERYBODY WAS AUNT AND UNCLE AND 41:25 IT KIND OF GAVE A SENSE OF FAMILY WHEN YOU CAME AND 41:30 EVERYBODY WAS BROTHER AND SISTER SO-AND-SO AND WE ARE BRETHREN IN 41:35 CHRIST. AREN'T WE ADOPTED INTO A FAMILY? 41:37 >>AMEN. >>WE BECOME - WE BECOME ONE. 41:40 AND THEN, AS I'M NEARING CONCLUSION HERE, ANTS ARE 41:45 EXTREMELY ZEALOUS AND PROTECTIVE OF THEIR YOUNG. 41:50 IF THE COLONY OR THE NEST IS IN ANY WAY THREATENED, YOU KNOW THE 41:55 FIRST THING THEY DO? THEY DO EVERYTHING THEY 41:58 CAN TO RESCUE THE YOUNG. THEY CARE FOR THE YOUNG. 42:02 THEY PROTECT THE YOUNG. THEY FEED THE YOUNG. 42:05 THEY GUARD THE YOUNG. THEY DIE TO SAVE THE YOUNG. 42:09 AND, YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE SIGNS OF A HEALTHY CHURCH - AND THERE 42:11 THEY ARE, THEY'RE MOVING FROM PLACE TO PLACE - AND I KNOW IT 42:15 LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE BEING FIERCE, BUT THEY'RE VERY TENDER IN THE 42:17 WAY THEY CARRY THE LITTLE ANT BABIES - THOSE ARE LITTLE ANT 42:20 PAPOOSES THERE, THE LARVAE, AND IF THEY MOVE THE COLONY THEY'LL 42:27 CARRY ALL THE YOUNG. IF THERE'S A FLOOD, 42:29 FIRST THING THEY DO? THEY DON'T GO SAVE THE FOOD 42:31 FIRST, THEY GO SAVE THE YOUNG. AND THEY JUST - THEY REALIZE 42:34 THAT THE FUTURE DEPENDS ON THE BABIES. 42:39 AND IS THAT TRUE WITH THE CHURCH? 42:41 >>YES. >>WE NEED TO CARE FOR THE YOUNG. 42:45 WE NEED TO BE VERY ZEALOUS TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY'RE PART OF 42:48 THE SERVICE - THAT THEY'RE GETTING GOOD NUTRITION AND 42:51 TRAINING AND TEACHING IN THEIR SABBATH SCHOOL DEPARTMENTS AND 42:55 THEY'RE BEING GROUNDED IN THE FAITH. 42:57 IT'S LIKE PAUL SAID TO TIMOTHY, 'AND FROM A CHILD YOU HAVE KNOWN 43:01 THE HOLY SCRIPTURES THAT ARE ABLE TO MAKE YOU WISE UNTO 43:04 SALVATION.' SO VERY ZEALOUS IN CARING FOR THE YOUNG. 43:08 AND, FINALLY, THE THING THAT IMPRESSES ME ABOUT ANTS IS THEY 43:13 ARE SACRIFICIAL. I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'VE EVER SEEN 43:17 BEFORE WHERE ANTS ARE TRYING TO GET FROM ONE PLACE TO ANOTHER - 43:20 MAYBE THEY'RE STRANDED - ANTS WILL CLIMB ON EACH OTHER'S 43:24 SHOULDERS AND THEY WILL BUILD A LADDER OUT OF THEIR BODIES AND, 43:28 ONCE THEY LINK UP WITH THEIR DESTINATION, THOSE THAT WANT TO 43:31 BE THE BRIDGE WILL HANG ON AND LET ALL THE OTHERS 43:34 CLIMB OVER THEM. THEY'RE WILLING TO SACRIFICE 43:38 THEMSELVES TO MAKE THAT POSSIBLE. 43:40 IF THEIR COLONY IS THREATENED, THEY MAY KNOW THAT THEY'RE GOING 43:45 TO GET STOMPED, BUT THEY WILL BITE, THEY'LL DO WHATEVER THEY 43:47 NEED TO DO - THEY WILL SPRAY - THEY CAN SPRAY FORMIC ACID ON 43:51 THEIR ENEMIES. IN FACT, THERE WAS THIS STRANGE 43:55 BEHAVIOR - I KNOW, I GET EASILY DISTRACTED, IT'S KIND OF - 43:58 HAVING AN ADD PASTOR. THEY WONDERED WHY CROWS WOULD 44:04 LAND ON THIS NEST OF ANTS AND STIR THEM UP AND STAY THERE. 44:10 AND THEY FINALLY REALIZED THAT THE ANTS, WHEN THEY GOT 44:13 IRRITATED BY THE CROWS WOULD SPRAY - THEY CAN SPRAY FROM 44:17 THEIR ABDOMENS THIS FORMIC ACID ON THE CROWS' FEATHERS. 44:20 THEY FOUND OUT THAT THE CROWS HAD DISCOVERED THIS KILLS THE 44:24 MITES AND THE PESTS THAT BOTHERED THEM. 44:28 SO, AS LONG AS THEY COULD KEEP IT OUT OF THEIR EYES, IT DIDN'T 44:30 HURT THE CROWS, BUT IT WAS LIKE A BATH - THEY'D TAKE AN ANT BATH 44:34 (LAUGHTER) AND THEY'D CLEANSE THEM. 44:37 BUT THE ANTS WERE WILLING TO SACRIFICE THEMSELVES TO LAY DOWN 44:42 THEIR LIVES. MAYBE YOU'VE EVEN HEARD ABOUT 44:44 HOW ANTS, IF THERE'S A FLOOD, A NUMBER OF ANT VARIETIES, THEY 44:49 WILL LINK ALL THEIR BODIES TOGETHER, THEY'LL MAKE 44:52 AN ISLAND AND THEY FLOAT. THE ONES THAT ARE ON THE BOTTOM 44:58 WILL DROWN, BUT THEY WILL DIE HANGING ONTO EACH OTHER. 45:03 THE OTHERS WILL CARRY THE BABIES ON TOP AND THEY FORM THIS BIG 45:09 FLOATING MASS, AND THE ONES ON THE BOTTOM HAVE MADE THEMSELVES 45:13 [INTO] A BOAT AND THEY'VE BASICALLY SACRIFICED THEMSELVES 45:15 TO MAKE A BOAT. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, ANTS BREATHE 45:18 THROUGH THEIR SKIN, IF THEY'RE UNDERWATER FOR VERY 45:19 LONG THEY DROWN. AND THEY LAY DOWN THEIR 45:25 LIVES TO SAVE THE OTHERS. THE BIBLE TELLS US "GREATER LOVE 45:30 HAS NO ONE THAN THIS," - AND THAT'S JOHN 15:13 - "THAN TO 45:34 LAY DOWN ONE'S LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS." 45:37 SO EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE HUMBLE LITTLE CREATURES AND THEIR 45:40 BRAINS ARE ABOUT THE SIZE OF A GRAIN OF SALT, THEY'VE ACTUALLY 45:45 GOT A LITTLE VIRTUE IN THAT, WHILE THEY VALUE THEIR LIVES, 45:49 THEY'LL LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES TO SAVE OTHERS. 45:51 ROMANS 5:6-8, "FOR WHEN WE WERE YET WITHOUT STRENGTH, IN DUE 45:57 TIME CHRIST DIED FOR THE UNGODLY. 46:00 FOR SCARCELY FOR A RIGHTEOUS MAN WILL ONE DIE: YET PERADVENTURE 46:05 FOR A GOOD MAN SOME WOULD EVEN DARE TO DIE. 46:08 BUT GOD COMMNEDETH HIS LOVE TOWARD US, IN THAT, WHILE WE 46:12 WERE YET SINNERS, CHRIST DIED FOR US." 46:15 >>AMEN. >>ANTS ARE SACRIFICIAL. 46:17 THEY'LL LAY DOWN THEIR LIVES. WELL, YOU KNOW, I WAS INSPIRED 46:21 WHEN I THOUGHT ABOUT ANTS AND WHAT GOOD WORKERS THEY ARE. 46:24 JUST IN REVIEW - THINK ABOUT THIS FOR A MINUTE: ANTS FARM, 46:30 THEY CARE FOR LIVESTOCK, THEY CULTIVATE THE SOIL, THEY PLANT 46:34 AND THEY HARVEST. THEY HAVE AN EXTENSIVE CHILDCARE 46:38 PROGRAM AND NURSERIES. THEY CAN BUILD NESTS 46:42 WITH CLIMATE CONTROL. THEY HAVE CAREER SPECIALIZATION. 46:48 THEY HAVE CIVIC DUTIES. THEY HAVE ARMED FORCES. 46:52 THEY HAVE SECURITY. THEY HAVE EARTH MOVERS. 46:56 THEY HAVE SOCIAL PLANNING. THEY HAVE ENGINEERING. 47:00 THEY HAVE COMMUNICATIONS. OH, BY THE WAY, THEY FOUND OUT 47:04 ANTS DO MAKE NOISE THAT OTHER ANTS CAN HEAR. 47:06 YOU'VE PROBABLY NEVER HEARD AN ANT YELL BEFORE - THEY'RE JUST 47:09 VERY LITTLE YELLS THAT YOU CAN'T HEAR, BUT THEY DO MAKE NOISE. 47:11 THE OTHER ANTS DO HAVE HEARING. THEY DO HAVE SIGHT. 47:14 THEY HAVE FLOOD CONTROL AND, TO SOME EXTENT, THEY CAN THINK 47:18 INDEPENDENTLY, EVEN THOUGH THEY'RE SEPARATED FROM THE 47:21 COLONY. INDIVIDUAL ANTS, THEY REALIZE, 47:24 HAVE A BIG ENOUGH BRAIN TO MAKE INDEPENDENT DECISIONS. 47:27 IT'S VERY AMAZING WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT THAT AND GOD WAS ABLE TO 47:30 FIT ALL OF THAT IN A BUG SO WE CAN LEARN FROM THEM. 47:36 >>AMEN. >>GOD WANTS US TO BE 47:40 CONSIDERING THE ANTS. AND, YOU KNOW, IN PARTICULAR, 47:43 WHAT HE SAID ABOUT REMEMBERING THE ANTS, HE SAID, 'THEY THINK 47:46 AHEAD, THEY PLAN, AND THEY WORK'. 47:49 HE SAID, 'GO TO THE ANT, YOU SLUGGARD'. 47:51 WE HAVE A WORK TO DO BECAUSE JESUS IS COMING SOON. 47:54 ANTS ARE BUSY AND WE NEED TO BE BUSY FOR THE LORD. 47:58 WE NEED TO BE USING OUR SPIRITUAL GIFTS AS A FAMILY. 48:01 NOTHING'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE COLONY TO THE ANT. 48:04 IF YOU'RE A CHRISTIAN, THE BODY OF CHRIST - THE CHURCH OF CHRIST 48:07 - OUGHT TO BE A PRIORITY. AMEN? >>AMEN. (MUSIC) 48:20 >>WHAT CAN BE MORE IRRESISTIBLE THAN A KITTEN? 48:23 THESE GUYS MIGHT LOOK CUTE NOW, BUT SOME OF THEIR ANCESTORS HAVE 48:26 GROWN INTO MAN EATERS. (BIG LION GROWLING) WE'RE HERE 48:32 IN A LION PARK IN SOUTH AFRICA, NOW, WHERE WE CAN VIEW THESE 48:35 CREATURES IN RELATIVE SAFETY. BUT THERE'S A REASON THEY'RE 48:38 KNOWN AS THE KING OF BEASTS. SO WHAT IS IT THAT PEOPLE FIND 48:42 SO ENCHANTING - AND FRIGHTENING - ABOUT LIONS? 48:44 IS IT THEIR SPEED? THEIR CLAWS? 48:47 THEIR SHARP TEETH? OR ALL OF THE ABOVE? 48:49 IT MIGHT ALSO BE SOME OF THE STORIES ABOUT MAN-EATING LIONS, 48:52 LIKE IN 1898, RIGHT HERE IN AFRICA, THEY WERE BUILDING A 48:56 BRIDGE OVER THE SABO RIVER IN KENYA AND TWO BROTHER LIONS 49:00 TERRORIZED THE CONSTRUCTION PROCESS, EATING 135 WORKERS. 49:07 DID YOU KNOW LIONS ARE MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE OVER A HUNDRED 49:10 TIMES? AND YOU CAN FIND THEM ALL THE 49:12 WAY FROM GENESIS TO REVELATION. IT'S USUALLY IN REFERENCE TO 49:15 THEIR FEROCITY AND HOW DANGEROUS THEY ARE. OF COURSE, SAMSON 49:18 KILLED A LION WITH HIS BARE HANDS. DAVID KILLED A LION. 49:22 THERE ARE MAN-EATING LIONS IN THE BIBLE. 49:24 THE WAY THAT THEY PUNISHED CRIMINALS WAS BY THROWING THEM 49:27 IN THE LIONS' DEN, AND EARLY CHRISTIANS WERE EVEN FED TO 49:30 LIONS. BUT, AMAZINGLY, AS THE BIBLE 49:33 MENTIONS, NOT ALL LIONS ARE TO BE FEARED. 49:35 THERE HAVE BEEN A FEW FRIENDLY LIONS IN HISTORY. 49:38 FOR EXAMPLE, IN THE 1950S A COUPLE, GEORGE AND MARGARET 49:42 WESTBEAU, WHO LIVED UP AT A RANCH NEAR SEATTLE, WASHINGTON, 49:46 ADOPTED AN ABANDONED LION CUB. THEY NAMED IT 'LITTLE TYKE' 49:50 BECAUSE THEY FELT SORRY FOR IT. BUT THEY DISCOVERED, AS THEY 49:53 TRIED TO FEED HER, SHE REFUSED TO EAT ANY MEAT AT ALL. 49:58 THEY WERE CONCERNED, THINKING THERE WAS NO HOPE FOR THIS 50:00 LITTLE LIONESS TO SURVIVE, AND EVERYBODY TOLD THEM THE SAME 50:03 BECAUSE WE KNOW IN THE WILD LIONS SURVIVE ON ALMOST AN 50:07 ENTIRELY MEAT DIET. THEN SOMEONE SHOWED THE 50:09 WESTBEAUS THAT VERSE IN THE BIBLE THAT TALKS ABOUT IN HEAVEN 50:13 THE ANIMALS ARE VEGETARIANS AND THE LION WILL EAT 50:16 STRAW LIKE THE OX. THAT ENCOURAGED THEM AND SO THEY 50:20 BEGAN TO FEED LITTLE TYKE A PURELY VEGETARIAN DIET. 50:24 NOT ONLY DID SHE SURVIVE, SHE THRIVED, GROWING INTO A LION 50:28 THAT WAS OVER 352 POUNDS AND OVER TEN FEET LONG. 50:32 IN FACT, ZOOLOGISTS THAT EXAMINED LITTLE TYKE WHEN SHE 50:35 WAS FULL GROWN SAID THEY HAD NEVER SEEN SUCH A PERFECT 50:39 SPECIMEN OF A LIONESS IN THEIR LIFE - A PURE VEGETARIAN. 50:43 YOU KNOW, WHEN WE HEAR INCREDIBLE STORIES LIKE THAT OF 50:45 LITTLE TYKE, IT REMINDS US THAT GOD'S ORIGINAL PLAN WAS TO MAKE 50:49 A WORLD OF TOTAL PEACE. IT DESCRIBES IT HERE IN THE 50:53 BIBLE IN ISAIAH CHAPTER 11, VERSE 6, "THE WOLF ALSO SHALL 50:56 DWELL WITH THE LAMB, AND THE LEOPARD SHALL LIE DOWN WITH THE 50:59 KID; AND THE CALF AND THE YOUNG LION AND THE FATLING TOGETHER; 51:03 AND A LITTLE CHILD SHALL LEAD THEM." 51:05 NOTHING IS GOING TO HURT AND DESTROY IN THE NEW HEAVENS AND 51:08 THE NEW EARTH THAT GOD IS GOING TO CREATE. 51:10 WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO LIVE IN A KINGDOM WHERE THERE'S PERFECT 51:12 PEACE? WHERE THERE'S NO MORE DEATH OR KILLING OR PAIN? 51:16 GOD SAYS THAT HE WANTS YOU IN THAT KINGDOM. 51:18 THE LAMB OF GOD MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO HAVE AN ENCOUNTER 51:23 WITH THE LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH. 51:25 WOULDN'T YOU LIKE TO MEET HIM TODAY? (MUSIC) 51:34 >>AMAZING FACTS, THROUGH YOUR FAITHFUL SUPPORT, HAS HAD A 51:38 MAJOR IMPACT ON SOME OF THE LARGEST NON-CHRISTIAN LOCATIONS 51:41 IN THE WORLD. BEYOND THE GREAT WALL, THE 51:44 PRINTING AND TRANSLATION OF OUR BOOKS AND VIDEO MATERIALS ARE IN 51:48 CONSTANT MOTION. >>(CHINESE DIALOGUE) 51:55 >>THE AMAZING FACTS CHINESE LANGUAGE WEBSITE IS NOW ONE OF 51:58 OUR MOST VISITED WEBSITES. WE ALSO TRANSLATED THOUSANDS OF 52:02 PIECES OF LITERATURE FOR THESE NATIONS. 52:05 WHAT STARTED OUT AS HUNDREDS OF FOLLOWERS IS NOW IN THE HUNDREDS 52:08 OF THOUSANDS. THE IMPACT OF YOUR FUNDS 52:11 INVESTED IN SHARING THE EVERLASTING GOSPEL IN THESE 52:14 FOREIGN LANDS WILL BE FELT FOR YEARS TO COME. 52:17 >>YOU KNOW, EVERY WEEK WE HEAR THE MOST INCREDIBLE STORIES FROM 52:20 ALL OVER THE GLOBE, OF LIVES THAT ARE BEING CHANGED AND 52:23 HEARTS THAT ARE BEING TRANSFORMED BY THE POWER OF THE 52:26 WORD. AND NONE OF IT COULD HAPPEN 52:28 WITHOUT YOUR TEAMWORK WITH THIS MINISTRY. GOD BLESS YOU. 52:32 (MUSIC) >>AMAZING FACTS, CHANGED LIVES. 52:46 >>IN EARLY 1980, ALL THE BABY BOOMERS WERE TURNING 21 AND THE 52:49 NIGHTCLUB SCENES WERE EXPLODING AND I STARTED AN ENTERTAINMENT 52:52 LIGHTING COMPANY. >>I WAS THE PRESIDENT AND 52:55 THERE WAS SIX DIVISIONS. DOING THE RAVES IN THE 80S AND 52:58 90S, YOU KNOW, IN SOME WAREHOUSE WHERE YOU'RE SETTING UP LIGHTING 53:01 AND FOG AND, YOU KNOW, WHO KNOWS WHAT'S GOING ON IN THERE. 53:04 AND NIGHTCLUB - NIGHTCLUB INSTALLATIONS - I LOVED IT AND 53:08 IT WAS WHO I WAS. >>BOUGHT A NEW HOUSE OUT OF TOWN 53:11 AND WE MOVED ABOUT TWO OR THREE TIMES, BUT WE WERE ALWAYS 53:15 GOING TO DIFFERENT CHURCHES. WE WERE AT A LUTHERAN CHURCH 53:17 AND THEN WE WERE IN A METHODIST CHURCH. 53:19 I THINK WE WERE IN THREE DIFFERENT BAPTIST CHURCHES. 53:22 MY WIFE WAS RAISED CATHOLIC, I WAS RAISED METHODIST. 53:25 CURRENTLY I'D BEEN OUT READING ALL THE HAL LINDSEY BOOKS AND 53:27 WATCHING ALL THE LEFT BEHIND MOVIES, AND JOY REALLY WANTED TO 53:30 UNDERSTAND WHAT THE BOOK OF REVELATION WAS ALL ABOUT, BUT 53:33 NOTHING EVER MADE SENSE TO ME. >>ONE DAY, PASTOR ROY LOGAN CAME 53:37 KNOCKING AND HE HAD THAT NET 99 FLIER. 53:40 >>WE WERE PREPARING FOR AN EVANGELISTIC SERIES AND 53:45 DIFFERENT PEOPLE WERE GOING DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS WITH 53:48 HANDBILLS TO INVITE PEOPLE TO THE MEETINGS. 53:51 >>I SAW THAT COMING AT ME, YOU KNOW, ALL THE COLORS, AND I 53:54 THOUGHT, 'OH NO, THIS IS SOME KIND OF CULT THING.' 53:57 >>AND SHE SAID, 'THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I'M NOT MUCH INTERESTED 54:00 MYSELF, BUT MY HUSBAND LIKES THAT KIND OF THING.' 54:03 >>THEN LLOYD SAID, 'WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO HIM, PLEASE?' 54:07 AND I SAID, 'OKAY, I WILL.' SO I TOOK THE PAMPHLET AND I PUT 54:11 IT ON THE COUNTER. GARY CAME HOME AND HE WALKED BY IT. 54:14 >>RAN THROUGH THE KITCHEN TO QUICKLY EAT AND TAKE A SHOWER 54:17 AND GO BACK OUT AND WORK A SHOW. >>TWO OR THREE DAYS WENT BY 54:20 LIKE THIS AND I HAD MOVED THAT BROCHURE FROM THE COUNTER, PUT 54:24 IT ON THE DINING ROOM TABLE, PUT IT BACK ON THE COUNTER, AND 54:29 I ACTUALLY THROUGH IT IN THE GARBAGE. 54:30 AS I THREW IT IN THAT GARBAGE CAN, I COULD HEAR HIM AND SEE 54:34 HIS FACE SAYING, 'WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO HIM, PLEASE?' 54:37 AND I ACTUALLY TOOK THE GARBAGE OUT AND THAT NIGHT, LYING IN 54:40 BED, I KEPT SEEING HIS FACE AND HEARING HIS VOICE AND THINKING, 54:43 'OH BOY, I'VE GOT TO GET THAT BROCHURE OUT OF THE GARBAGE' AND 54:48 I TOOK THAT AND I PUT IT RIGHT UNDERNEATH THE REMOTE CONTROL. 54:52 BRIGHT COLORS - HE'LL SEE IT. >>I FINALLY SAT DOWN IN MY 54:55 LIVING ROOM AND I PICKED UP THE REMOTE AND I SAW THAT ANGEL 54:58 HOLDING UP THAT SCROLL. >>'WOAH, COOL! WHAT IS THIS?' 55:02 AND I WAS IN THE KITCHEN COOKING AND I THOUGHT, 'OH NO.' 55:06 >>AND I LOOKED AT IT AND I TURNED IT OVER AND THERE'S A 55:09 LITTLE BUILDING - A LITTLE CHURCH BUILDING - AND IT WASN'T 55:12 TOO FAR AWAY, IT WAS ABOUT SIX HOUSES DOWN - AND IT SAID 55:15 'FRIDAY NIGHT'. >>AND I CERTAINLY WASN'T GOING. 55:17 I MEAN, IT WASN'T MY INTENTION TO GO. 55:20 >>I DIDN'T HAVE ANY SHOWS THAT NIGHT AND SO I THOUGHT IT WAS A 55:23 ONE-NIGHT DEAL AND I WENT AND AS I HEARD ABOUT THE MILLENNIAL MAN 55:27 I WAS JUST BLOWN AWAY. I DIDN'T WANT IT TO END. 55:30 I KNEW WHAT I WAS HEARING WAS ALL FROM THE SCRIPTURES AND IT 55:33 WASN'T BASED ON HOLLYWOOD MOVIES OR OTHER BOOKS THAT WERE 55:36 WRITTEN. THEY SAID, 'COME AGAIN TOMORROW NIGHT.' AND I THOUGHT, 55:38 'WOW, GREAT - TWO NIGHTS!' SO I TRIED TO TELL MY WIFE 55:41 ABOUT IT AND SHE STILL WASN'T INTERESTED. 55:44 AND THEN SHE DECIDED TO COME. >>I STARTED TO HEAR 55:46 THE TRUTH, YOU KNOW? AND I STARTED TO GET FED. 55:49 >>EVERY NIGHT AFTER THE SEMINAR THEY WOULD HAND US AN AMAZING 55:52 FACTS STUDY GUIDE. I COULDN'T DO THOSE FAST ENOUGH. 55:55 >>THE BUSINESS KEPT US GOING SEVEN DAYS A WEEK AND IT WAS 55:59 NIGHT AND DAY. >>CREWS WORKING ALL AROUND THE 56:01 CLOCK AND SO, WHEN WE FINALLY HEARD THE SABBATH MESSAGE, YOU 56:05 KNOW, SO FAR EVERYTHING HAD BEEN TRUE - RIGHT FROM THE BIBLE. 56:08 >>CHURCH ON SATURDAY. NO WORK. ANYWAY, IT ALL CLICKED. 56:12 >>BOTH OUR HEADS TURNED AT EACH OTHER, OUR JAWS DROPPED OPEN. 56:15 >>I SAID, 'WE CAN'T DO THAT.' >>AND THE FIRST THING THAT CAME 56:19 OUT OF MY MOUTH WAS, 'WE HAVE TO.' 56:21 >>I KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE A SACRIFICE AND I WAS IN FEAR 56:26 ABOUT IT. >>WE DIDN'T KNOW HOW WE WERE 56:27 GOING TO DO IT, BUT WE TALKED TO THE PASTOR ABOUT IT AND THE 56:32 PASTOR SAID, 'WE'LL JUST PRAY ABOUT IT AND GOD WILL OPEN 56:34 DOORS. >>I DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE UP ALL 56:36 THE CONNECTIONS I HAD MADE, ALL THE NETWORKING, ALL THE MONEY, 56:39 ALL THE INVESTMENT. >>WE WENT TO THE BOARD AND ASKED 56:42 THEM IF THEY WOULD CONSIDER CLOSING ON SATURDAY AND THEY 56:45 AGREED TO. SO WE CLOSED THE STOREFRONT ON 56:47 SATURDAY, BUT WE WERE STILL DOING PRODUCTIONS AND THAT KIND 56:50 OF BOTHERED US, SO A COUPLE MONTHS LATER GOD OPENED A DOOR 56:54 FOR MY WIFE AND SHE EXITED THE COMPANY. 56:56 I PRAYED ABOUT IT AND GOD OPENED A DOOR FOR ME TOO. 56:59 >>GARY, SHORTLY AFTER, WAS OFFERED A JOB BEING PAID MORE 57:04 MONEY THAN HE MADE AS AN OWNER OF THE COMPANY. 57:07 >>HE SAID, 'I'LL GIVE YOU A THOUSAND DOLLAR RAISE AND 57:10 YOU'LL NEVER WORK ANOTHER WEEKEND. 57:12 >>AND WE WERE ABLE TO KEEP THE SABBATH AND ENJOY THE WONDERFUL 57:17 BLESSINGS THAT GOD HAD FOR US ON SABBATH DAY. 57:20 >>MY KIDS NEVER AGAIN HAD TO SAY, 'QUIT TALKING ABOUT WORK.' 57:23 AFTER THE SEMINAR WAS OVER, MY WIFE AND I AND MY CHILDREN WERE 57:26 ALL BAPTIZED INTO THE SEVENTH-DAY ADVENTIST CHURCH. 57:29 EVEN IF I GAVE UP EVERYTHING, I KNEW THAT GOD WOULD HAVE 57:32 SOMETHING BETTER. >>I HAVE MUCH MORE UNDERSTANDING 57:36 AND THERE'S MUCH MORE DEPTH IN MY CHRISTIAN WALK WITH THE LORD. 57:40 >>WE STARTED AN AMAZING FACTS BIBLE SCHOOL AT OUR CHURCH THAT 57:43 ALLOWS ANYBODY TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES - UNDERSTAND THE END 57:46 TIMES. CHURCH CHANGED MY LIFE 57:48 DRAMATICALLY AND I'M VERY HAPPY AND EXCITED TO BE A PART OF IT. 57:54 (MUSIC) |
