00:03 It's time to share there's a world out there,
00:07 looking for a friend like Jesus. It's time to share 00:11 there's a world out there. Let's tell them 00:14 that He loves us so. Let's tell them that He loves 00:18 us so.Kids time, kids time, kids time. 00:25 Hi, boys and girls. Did you know that long before 00:27 our world was created there was a beautiful 00:29 angel, who lived up in heaven with God and all 00:31 the other angels. God had created him to be so 00:35 beautiful and so talented that he received lot of 00:38 attention from the other angels. And God trusted 00:40 him with special responsibilities, but 00:43 somewhere along the line this beautiful angel 00:46 begin to think he was more beautiful and more 00:48 powerful then he actually was. And he begin to 00:51 complaint to the other angels that maybe just 00:53 maybe God's wasn't fair and good God. Many 00:56 of the angels listen to him and soon begin to 00:59 think like him. They begin to question God's 01:01 goodness and, and also to wonder whether or not 01:04 life in heaven was that great after all. That's 01:07 begin the saddest story ever told. A story that 01:10 you and I are still living today and that was the 01:13 beginning of sin boys and girls. It started with just 01:15 one selfish thought. Now, I want you to think 01:18 about that all of the sin in the universe begin 01:21 with just one selfish thought and in fact if 01:24 you thought about it long enough, I'm certain you 01:27 would trace each of your sins to selfish thoughts 01:30 too. You know, there is a story in the Bible that 01:32 sounds very much like the story of the beautiful 01:34 angel and that happened during the ruin of King 01:37 David over the Israel. Well, we'll hear that 01:40 story today, but first before we hear that story 01:43 it's time to go see what Ranger Jim has to show us 01:46 today. And I can't wait boys and girls because 01:48 you know what Ranger Jim always has something 01:51 exciting, doesn't he? Let's take a look right now. 02:02 Hi, boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying welcome 02:04 to Nature Time. We're glad you can join us today. 02:06 We're at the Chattanooga Audubon Society and 02:09 my friend here Nature Dan. Dan, what in the 02:12 world are you picking? Well, I'll tell you this 02:14 is a common flower. You know, what it is? 02:17 Yes, it is. Dandelion. Now, I want to tell you 02:20 some interesting things about the Dandelion. 02:22 We're often just kind a walk on by and we don't 02:25 really pay much attention. We don't think about it 02:27 because there it is. This Dandelion plant on 02:29 all things, all over the yard everywhere. But this 02:32 thing is really need. How did you get its name? 02:36 Alright, well I'll tell you, a couple of ways it got 02:39 its name. It's called Dandelion now that comes 02:43 from Dante Loo, which is well it means tooth of 02:47 the lion. And it meant, they had these yellow 02:49 teeth, but it was also Dandelion and there were 02:53 these little, if you can see the edges of it and 02:56 means tooth of the lion like the sharp teeth of a 02:58 lion and that turned into eventually, Dandelion. 03:04 Yes. Now, is it a good plant or bad plant? 03:07 Oh! It's a good plant for me because I love the 03:09 insects and I love bees and the bees come early 03:11 in the spring and get pollen and. 03:13 Yes, absolutely right. It's part of natures plan. 03:15 It's the way that God puts everything together; 03:18 everything is out there for this. In fact, this 03:21 plant is medicine and it's food. Yes, it is, I've 03:24 eaten this. And friends it is like five different 03:27 varieties that you can grow of Dandelion for the 03:30 vegetable garden. My mother used to cut in the 03:33 spring of the year, she would go on and get 03:34 Dandelion green. Oh! She called it like, oh, 03:36 yeah, makes a wonderful salad just pack full of 03:38 vitamins. Absolutely, and good for you. It's better 03:41 than spinach. It is one of the best vegetables here, 03:44 but we forget about it. The other thing is, it's 03:46 actually good for the lawn. You know, it pulls 03:48 up nutrients and stuff out of the ground and it 03:51 brings it up so that the grass can have it to be 03:54 able to help to grow. Yeah, but what do we 03:56 today, people wanna a perfectly green lawn, so 03:59 they go out and they poison the dandelion, 04:01 right, isn't that terrible. It is and it makes the 04:03 lawn a worse place. So, it's much better to 04:06 learn to like Dandelions. Absolutely, just have 04:09 them out there and every mother remembers well. 04:13 The first bouquet they usually got, didn't they? 04:16 Okay, because I know my wife she was so, she 04:19 would keep them in a glass of water till they 04:20 wilted down, where I would say, you're gonna 04:23 have to throw them out, but she know, but 04:25 because the children would come in with a big 04:26 bouquet and boys and girls you would most 04:28 likely have done that also, pick a big bouquet 04:31 of flower for your mother and bring them in. 04:33 Do you remember, Nature Dan with children 04:35 come in with yellow noses. I absolutely do. 04:38 They would pick their flowers and bring them in 04:41 like that. Now, there is another thing that some 04:43 people and Satan always has a counterfeit and 04:46 always has a way of destroying what God 04:49 intended and so the, this tiny little flower 04:53 the Dandelion has enough sugar content in it 04:55 that it will ferment and so some people have this 04:59 and you may have heard a song, adults may 05:01 have heard a song about Dandelion why, why and 05:04 exactly, they use it right. And they do the same 05:06 thing, they even take potatoes, wonderful 05:09 potatoes we enjoy it they make vodka and then 05:12 we have corn that we love and they make 05:14 alcohol for whisky out of that or rice into saki, 05:19 saki, right, yes. And so, you know, the devil will 05:21 have no other way then at woody that he could 05:23 grew out and destroy these wonderful things 05:25 that God has made for us to see and enjoy and 05:28 make it counterfeit and use them for evil purpose. 05:32 That's right. But we're glad boys and girls that 05:34 serve a powerful God and so this is Ranger Jim 05:37 and my friend Nature Dan saying as always 05:41 don't forget to tell Jesus that you love him 05:43 because he really does, love you. 05:53 Hello, boys and girls. In Kids Time, we're doing 05:55 an experiment in trust. Hannah is gonna fall into 05:57 my arms and come through, are you ready 05:59 Hannah. Yes. Close your eyes, one, two, three, 06:07 Uhu.

Leaning, leaning, leaning 08:32 Leaning on the everlasting arms. 08:36 Leaning on the everlasting arms. 08:56 Hi, boys and girls and welcome to Talk Time. 08:58 And I'm here today with a very special friend 09:01 Pastor C.A. Hi, pastor, how are doing. 09:03 I'm doing well Ms. Brenda, good to see you. 09:05 Oh! It's good to have you here again. 09:06 Now, Pastor C.A, I have so many questions here 09:08 that kids have want answers to, are you ready 09:10 to get started. I'm ready to get started. 09:12 Okay, we have a question here it says, what 09:15 happens when you're baptized? 09:17 Well, Ms. Brenda, nothing. Now, what do you mean, 09:22 nothing? I guess that's a bit of a trick answer, 09:25 but really what we understand Ms. Brenda is 09:28 that the change really takes place before 09:30 baptism. Baptism is just a symbol of a change that 09:35 has already taken place. We give our heart to the 09:38 Lord, we repent of our sins, we feel sorry for 09:41 our sins, we follow Jesus, we give our lives to 09:44 Jesus, we make Jesus the Lord of our life, 09:46 and then we're baptized to show the world that 09:50 these changes are already taken place. So, really 09:52 the change in our life ought to take place 09:54 before baptism, that's right. And baptism just 09:57 announces to the world that we have made a 09:58 change in that, we will follow in Jesus now. 10:00 So, that's why, I said nothing. 10:02 You know, Pastor, there might be some children 10:04 that don't know, what baptism is, what the 10:06 actual baptism is? Is that mean you just sprinkle 10:08 little bit of, you know, water on you or what, 10:10 what does the actual baptism mean? 10:12 Well, in, in baptism like all things Jesus is our 10:15 example and the word baptism in the original 10:17 language, which is Greek means to immerse to put 10:20 under the water and Jesus came down to the river 10:23 and John the Baptist, baptized and we put him 10:25 under the water and then brought him up out 10:27 of the water. It's a symbol of dying to the 10:30 world and being born again in Jesus Christ. 10:32 So, the correct way as Jesus did is to go under 10:35 the water and then come up out of the water. 10:37 Oh! That's right. Well, that was, that was a good 10:39 answer. Okay, I have another one here that 10:41 says, my brother smoke stop and I'm just 10:44 wondering, if he is going to be in heaven. 10:47 Well. What do you think about that? 10:48 Well, two texts come to mind, okay, from the 10:50 New Testament for the Book of Corinthians. 10:52 First Corinthians 3:16 & 17 and First Corinthians 6 10:57 verses 19 and 20. Both of them say that our 11:02 bodies have been brought with a prize that Christ 11:05 has paid for our bodies. He now owns us those of 11:08 us who follow him and then it says those who 11:10 destroy the body, God will eventually have to 11:13 destroy. So, that's means that a person, who is 11:14 destroying his body not only with dope. There are 11:16 other things that we can do to destroy our bodies. 11:18 Cigarettes destroy the body, yes, alcohol 11:20 destroys the body, drugs, drugs destroy the body, 11:24 all of these things destroy the body. 11:25 So, when we come to Jesus, we have to stop 11:27 doing these things and Christ will give us the 11:30 strength to stop doing these things and live his 11:32 life in us. We cannot take these things to heaven 11:35 with us, right. And this is preparation for our 11:38 life in heaven. So, you've got to stop doing 11:40 them now so that we can live with Jesus forever. 11:43 Okay, good answer. Okay, let's try another 11:44 question here. That says could you name some 11:47 activities that are good to do on Sabbath. 11:49 Ooh! That's a very good question, okay. Probably 11:51 for young people, who have a lot of energy, 11:53 right. Nature walking is a nice thing to do on 11:56 Sabbath, so try to get if you're in a city to go 11:58 out of the city and try to spot birds and see how 12:02 God shows himself in nature, right. It's 12:05 another good thing to do what Christ did. 12:06 Christ did lot of his miracles on Sabbath, 12:08 you know, he, he, it's always good on the 12:11 Sabbath. He healed blind person, it's a lawful 12:12 and that was a point that Jesus was trying to make. 12:14 So, if we go to a nursing home and maybe sing a 12:17 song to an older person or read the Bible to them 12:19 or bring them a nice card that we made. 12:21 There are all kinds of nice things we can do on 12:23 Sabbath that, that help others and you will find 12:26 Ms. Brenda. I'm sure you know this that when we 12:28 help others, we help our self. That's right. 12:29 We make others glad, we make ourselves glad, 12:32 plus it makes the Sabbath day a delight to know 12:34 that we're gonna go and visit some people and 12:36 bring some sunshine into their lives. So, those 12:38 are some of the things that we can do on 12:39 Sabbath. Oh! That's a good answer and 12:40 you know, Sabbath shouldn't be a drudgery, 12:41 should it is. No. It should be a fun something, 12:43 we look forward to. You know, one of the 12:44 things that I remember is little girl that you 12:46 know, my parents with I had, you know, there 12:49 five kids in our family. And so one of the things 12:51 I love was sometimes when we would get 12:53 through we did the visiting and, and the 12:55 sharing with others as well on Sabbath, 12:57 but when we get home sometimes one of my 12:58 favorite memories is playing Bible games. Yes. 13:01 You know, which we really learned our book 13:02 through the Bible, we learned about our Bible 13:04 characters and, and mom and dad made it a fun 13:07 way to learn more about Jesus. 13:08 Oh! Yes, Ms. Brenda, I envy you on that 13:10 because I grew up in home and I was the only 13:11 Seventh-Day Adventist in my home. Oh! The 13:13 only Sabbath keeper; my mother, my father, 13:15 my sister, my brother were not Sabbath keepers. 13:17 And it was a little tough on Sabbath sometimes 13:19 for me. So, I envy those who try to do things to 13:21 make Sabbath fun and to make it a delight as 13:23 we learn more about Jesus. Oh! Well, let's see 13:26 we've a time for another question. It says, 13:28 what is that mean to have a new heart. 13:30 Oh! Oh! It means that Jesus comes in and he 13:36 replaces our mean hard heart with a loving, soft 13:39 heart of love. The Bible talks about having peace 13:42 in your life, having joy. Psalms chapter 16 says 13:46 that when we are in God's presence there is 13:48 fullness of joy and God takes our mean hard 13:52 heart and gives us a soft new heart. He gives us a 13:54 new outlook; he gives us a smile on our face and 13:57 joy in our hearts and nice words for each other. 13:59 And that's all part of giving our life to Jesus, 14:01 Jesus changes our mind and our heart. 14:04 And the way we look at the world. 14:05 Well, said. Well, thank you so much Pastor, 14:07 we have all the time today. Thank you for 14:09 being with us. It was a pleasure. 14:11 I appreciate you having you here. Boys and girls, 14:12 if you have a question for Pastor C. A, send it 14:15 here to me on Kids Time. And I will make sure 14:17 your questions get answered because your 14:19 questions are important to us. And more important 14:21 that your questions are important to Jesus. 14:38 I want to be ready, when Jesus comes 14:42 I want to be ready, when Jesus comes 14:47 Earth's pleasures grow dim 14:49 While I'm waiting for Him; 14:52 Lord, keep me till Jesus comes 14:57 I want to be ready, when Jesus comes 15:02 I want to be ready, when Jesus comes 15:06 There is pleasure redeemed 15:08 Well, I'm waiting for him 15:13 Lord, keep me till Jesus comes 15:32 Pushup, pushup, yeah. What's going on? 15:36 It's incredible. Last I heard David was 15:39 up on the Mount of Olives praying. 15:41 David is there. He and all the people are 15:43 getting ready to crossover. Good day guard. 15:47 Good day to you. So, we're getting ready to 15:50 cross over the river and yes. There is the thought 15:53 that Absalom and his troops may actually come 15:55 and overtake King David. Can you believe this 15:58 David's own son Absalom doing this. 16:00 His own son and the people were beginning to 16:03 follow him. They love David, what's happened. 16:05 They love David and they love Absalom it 16:09 appears as well. Shouldn't you be at the palace? 16:12 Yes, we're moving that way guard. 16:13 Thank you, move now, just move alone now. 16:14 Thank you, very much. Alright, move now. 16:18 But Absalom and his, he is being a bit deceptive. 16:20 Yes, in what way? When they come to him 16:23 he seeks to answer their questions quickly 16:26 and, and fairly and appears to be interested 16:29 in them. He, he takes their hand. Yes, yes. 16:31 He blesses them, he hugs them, he kisses them on 16:34 the cheek and the people are beginning to follow 16:37 him. What are you gonna do? What is David want 16:39 you to do? Didn't I tell you to move? 16:42 The market place is crowed. 16:43 The market place is maybe crowed, but you 16:45 need to move. Now, you're gonna be at the palace, 16:47 move. Thank you guard. Move along that. 16:49 Why don't you move? I remain loyal to God's 16:54 appointed king. King David, you're right, 16:56 you're right. And I will serve him. 16:58 But it's scary. What is asking you do is be in 17:01 the power that's scary. It, it is indeed. You 17:04 must pray for me that I will have the wisdom that 17:07 I will be able to slow Absalom and his troops 17:10 down. And allow David and the people to cross. 17:13 David, David must have great confidence in you 17:15 my friend. Didn't I tell you, you have to move 17:17 along. Yes, we are moving, then what happened, 17:18 I don't want to tell you again now. We're moving, 17:19 we're moving. Move on. Thank you, thank you, 17:21 go, go. Pray for me friend. I will. I will. Pray 17:27 for me, that I will have the wisdom. Yes. We must 17:30 be faithful to God's appointed king. Yes. 17:33 And whomever God chooses, whomever 17:36 God blesses, we will follow that man. 17:39 I will see you again, now he 17:41 he come again, we must move. 18:00 I started walking when I was small 18:05 And many new things is I could 18:10 Some people say I'm getting so tired 18:15 Where did that little kid go 18:19 Inside and out God has making me new 18:24 You may not feel happening until he is through 18:32 Little by little, I'm changing I'm growing 18:41 Little by little, I'm not sure it showing 18:49 I'm not, who I'm. I'm not, who I'll be. 18:54 I'm somewhere in the middle 18:59 But God is changing me Little by, little 19:13 Sometimes it feels like I'm so far away 19:18 From all that I know, I should be 19:23 But he is with us it would be one day 19:28 Oh! That is started in me 19:32 And looking to me and I don't understand 19:37 That God has a vision and God has a plan. 19:46 Little by, little I'm changing, I'm growing. 19:54 Little by, little I'm not sure it showing 20:03 I'm not, who I'm. I'm not, who I'll be. 20:08 I'm somewhere in the middle 20:12 But God is changing me Little by, little. 20:38 It's time for Ms. Brenda's, Book of the Day. 20:42 And today's book is Sarah Lee and a Mule 20:45 Named May Be. And it's by Heather Grovet. 20:49 It says, we were just crossing the entrance to 20:50 the Nordegg trail when I heard a new sound. 20:54 It was a low growl. "Please, God," I 20:56 whispered. "Not another moose. I couldn't stand 20:59 another moose." I reached forward to pull 21:01 on Auntie Teresa's coat, but it was too late. 21:04 The growl erupted into an enormous roar. 21:07 I glimpsed something dark racing down the path 21:09 straight toward us. It threw itself into the 21:11 air and it banged right into my chest, knocking 21:14 me to the ground. I let out a horrible scream, 21:19 but I'm not gonna tell you what the rest of the 21:21 story. You're gonna have to get the book Sarah 21:23 Lee and a Mule Named May Be. Boy that's 21:25 sounds like a good book, doesn't it? Well, I'm 21:27 excited boys and girls because today I have a 21:30 very special friend with me. I have Levi. Hi, 21:33 Levi, how are you. Hi, Ms. Brenda! 21:34 Well, I'm so glad you are here and I wanted you 21:37 to tell, tell me where is that, that you came from? 21:39 Where do you live? Idaho. Idaho, that's a 21:41 long way. And you live on a big ranch I 21:43 understand. Yes. About 800 acres. That's right. 21:47 Well, let me tell you what, I want to know in 21:49 Idaho, what are you doing out there to share 21:51 Jesus. I'm helping the raise money for downlink. 21:55 For a downlink for 3ABN. Now, how would you 21:58 do that? You have to save money, so and then 22:01 use, then I ship it down here. So, the people can 22:05 get the money. So, they can buy a downlink. 22:07 Okay, how much is a downlink cost. A $100,000 22:10 A $100,000, that's a lot of money. How much do 22:14 you think you can raise? Two thousand. You think 22:16 you can raise 2000. Well you know what do you 22:19 think you can raise all that by yourself. Nope. 22:21 Nope, how you're gonna raise that? By Jesus help. 22:24 That's right because he promises in Philippines 22:26 4:13 that I can do all things through Christ, who 22:29 strengthens me, doesn't he? That's right. Well, let 22:31 me ask you this. What are you going to raise the 22:34 money? I'm selling dishcloths. Dishcloths, 22:37 okay. And cans and. And, now dish dishcloths, 22:43 let me tell, what about the dishcloths? What kind 22:44 of dishcloths are these? The dish. And why did 22:47 you choose dishcloths? My, my grandma she 22:51 wanted to help and she can make dishcloths real 22:54 fast. And so, she decide to let. So, so she ships 22:59 the dishcloths down here. And I saw them. 23:02 Okay, she is preparing for you and you sell them. 23:04 And where do you sell them that? I sell any 23:07 place, I can sell them. Any place, you can sell 23:09 them like on the street corner or what do you do? 23:13 Like at a yard cell. So, yard cell. And my 23:17 brother, he helps me some. He likes goes out 23:22 and down like at the hostel, there are so lot 23:26 of people that are so, he sells them there too. 23:28 Oh! That's wonderful. Now, what other things 23:30 you sell the dishcloths, what else do you do? 23:33 I have a, I have a little dish can at church and 23:39 people put money in there. Okay. And I have, 23:42 I have friend name Carl and he was raising 23:48 money. So, he could buy a very special toy for 23:51 himself. What kind of toy? I do not know, 23:55 but he wanted something special from the toy 23:57 store. Yeah, and he has saved 36 dollars in a 24:01 whole bunch, some cents I have got, but and then 24:06 he I was, I was talking about what I was doing. 24:10 And he and I told him about my aunt, which she, 24:14 which she doing on Jesus. So, and he heard about 24:18 that and he wanted to help Jesus. So, what did 24:21 he do, did he give. He gave me every single cent 24:24 and he broke his piggy bank just to give me the 24:26 money. He did. Oh! So, he gave all he had the 24:30 money he would save for toy and gave it for 24:32 Jesus. Yeah. Now, is there any other ways you, 24:34 you raise money.
