It's a time to share, there's a
00:00:03.80\00:00:05.87
world out there looking for a
00:00:05.91\00:00:07.95
friend like Jesus.
00:00:07.99\00:00:10.51
It's time to share
there's a world out there,
00:00:10.55\00:00:13.72
let's tell them
that He loves us so.
00:00:13.76\00:00:17.09
Let's tell them
that He loves us so.
00:00:17.12\00:00:20.97
Kid's Time,
Kid's Time, Kid's Time.
00:00:21.00\00:00:24.78
Hi, boys and girls, don't
you just love a great story?
00:00:24.81\00:00:27.77
I know I do, and have you
ever noticed that the most
00:00:27.81\00:00:30.74
interesting stories
are usually about events
00:00:30.77\00:00:32.98
that actually happened?
00:00:33.02\00:00:34.59
Well, I have two brothers
who always seemed to be off on
00:00:34.63\00:00:37.21
some wild adventure
when they were young.
00:00:37.25\00:00:39.03
And my brother Jim likes to
tell about a downhill ski trip
00:00:39.07\00:00:42.20
that he took once.
00:00:42.24\00:00:43.45
Now, somehow he accidentally
took a wrong turn down the
00:00:43.48\00:00:46.49
mountain and he ended up
on a black diamond ski hill.
00:00:46.52\00:00:49.34
Now, boys and girls, let me
tell you what, those are the
00:00:49.38\00:00:52.49
hardest hills to ski down
and you don't want to ski down a
00:00:52.53\00:00:55.45
black diamond unless you really
do know what you're doing.
00:00:55.49\00:00:58.59
Well, my brother didn't
and it was too late, there was
00:00:58.63\00:01:01.99
nowhere to go but straight
down and at break neck speed.
00:01:02.02\00:01:05.26
He found himself skiing
faster, and faster, and faster
00:01:05.29\00:01:08.49
until he was
completely out of control.
00:01:08.52\00:01:10.71
And he even went flying
over a huge ski jump that caught
00:01:10.75\00:01:14.33
him by surprise,
and he eventually fell.
00:01:14.37\00:01:17.22
But when you fall on a black
diamond, you don't just stop,
00:01:17.26\00:01:20.26
oh, no, you just keep going
and rolling and rolling and
00:01:20.29\00:01:23.26
rolling and hoping
that you get to the bottom
00:01:23.30\00:01:25.06
in one piece.
00:01:25.09\00:01:26.44
He thought for
sure he was a goner.
00:01:26.48\00:01:28.19
But you know what?
00:01:28.23\00:01:29.40
When he did eventually come
to a stop, it wasn't a pretty
00:01:29.44\00:01:32.93
sight, he was pretty banged
up, and shaken up, and fed up.
00:01:32.97\00:01:36.43
But at least he
was in one piece.
00:01:36.47\00:01:38.91
It's funny now when he tells
that story, but I'm sure it
00:01:38.95\00:01:41.44
wasn't funny then.
00:01:41.47\00:01:42.88
You know, teenage boys
always seem to have some wild
00:01:42.91\00:01:45.46
adventure to tell about.
00:01:45.49\00:01:46.74
And in today's Bible story,
you'll hear a young man tell
00:01:46.77\00:01:49.50
about an adventure
that he had defending his
00:01:49.54\00:01:52.18
beloved King David.
00:01:52.22\00:01:54.27
Now you won't want to miss
this story I can tell you that.
00:01:54.30\00:01:56.58
But first let's see what
Ranger Jim has to show us.
00:01:56.62\00:01:59.37
Hi, boys and girls,
Ranger Jim saying welcome
00:02:06.65\00:02:08.60
to Nature Time.
00:02:08.63\00:02:09.66
We're glad you
can join us today.
00:02:09.69\00:02:10.79
We're in beautiful
Raccoon Mountain Cavern near
00:02:10.82\00:02:13.66
Chattanooga, Tennessee.
00:02:13.69\00:02:15.38
And we have our
friend Patty with us.
00:02:15.41\00:02:17.15
And, Patty, what is this
beautiful pool that I see here?
00:02:17.18\00:02:19.61
Beautiful water, what is this?
00:02:19.64\00:02:21.35
This is called Reflection
Pool, Ranger Jim, and this
00:02:21.39\00:02:25.08
pool is really neat.
00:02:25.12\00:02:26.19
The reason it reflects the
water so well is because of the
00:02:26.23\00:02:29.69
minerals in the water.
00:02:29.72\00:02:31.34
We have lots of manganese,
which is the material they use
00:02:31.37\00:02:34.36
to put over
glass to make mirrors.
00:02:34.40\00:02:37.02
Neat, is what
reflects that? Yes.
00:02:37.06\00:02:39.40
Is there anything
living in the pool?
00:02:39.43\00:02:41.81
Well salamanders
like this pool of water.
00:02:41.85\00:02:44.15
We have several
different kinds of salamanders.
00:02:44.19\00:02:46.21
Some live in the front part
of the cave like the sliming
00:02:46.25\00:02:48.99
salamanders and
the cave salamanders.
00:02:49.02\00:02:51.51
The cave salamanders will
actually lay their eggs in this
00:02:51.55\00:02:55.33
pool of water and they'll hatch.
00:02:55.37\00:02:57.68
When the salamanders are a
couple months old, they start
00:02:57.71\00:03:00.45
crawling out and
then they live on land.
00:03:00.49\00:03:02.94
They'll come and
in out of the cave.
00:03:02.98\00:03:05.40
We also have bats.
00:03:05.44\00:03:09.22
They don't, of
course, live in the pool.
00:03:09.25\00:03:11.74
But, they'll hang
from the ceiling and sleep
00:03:11.78\00:03:14.24
during the day here.
00:03:14.27\00:03:15.67
We like having them around
because they can eat mosquitoes
00:03:15.71\00:03:18.52
for us in the evening
when they're out flying around.
00:03:18.56\00:03:22.57
Each little bat in here,
believe it or not, can eat 600
00:03:22.61\00:03:26.59
mosquitoes every hour.
00:03:26.63\00:03:28.64
An hour? Isn't that amazing.
00:03:28.67\00:03:29.98
An hour.
00:03:30.02\00:03:31.04
Now let me ask you, you talk
about the slimy salamanders,
00:03:31.07\00:03:33.79
most boys and girls and most
adults think all salamanders
00:03:33.83\00:03:36.52
are slimy, but
they're not, are they?
00:03:36.55\00:03:38.32
Well, slimy
salamander is actually the name
00:03:38.36\00:03:41.46
of the species.
00:03:41.50\00:03:42.71
In the Appalachians we
have over 3000 species of
00:03:42.75\00:03:46.65
salamanders around here.
00:03:46.68\00:03:48.77
In the cave itself we
have 5 different species.
00:03:48.80\00:03:51.29
And although they all have
moist skin, they are not all
00:03:51.33\00:03:55.11
slimy salamanders.
00:03:55.14\00:03:56.58
They're not all slimy.
00:03:56.62\00:03:57.98
And what do the salamanders
eat here in the cave?
00:03:58.02\00:04:00.90
Do they find other things?
00:04:00.94\00:04:02.14
In the cave they don't actually
eat anything, there's not
00:04:02.17\00:04:04.33
enough food for them in here.
00:04:04.37\00:04:06.12
So they go
outside and they eat bugs.
00:04:06.15\00:04:08.32
They can shoot their tongues
out really fast and catch a
00:04:08.36\00:04:10.47
bug and swallow it.
00:04:10.51\00:04:12.61
And that's what they eat.
00:04:12.64\00:04:13.61
Then the parent doesn't
have any process of feeding the
00:04:13.62\00:04:16.40
babies once they hatch?
00:04:16.44\00:04:17.49
They're independent
and they are able to get
00:04:17.53\00:04:20.27
their own food?
00:04:20.30\00:04:21.52
That's something,
that's actually being studied.
00:04:21.55\00:04:23.62
The slimy salamanders will
put their eggs in little holes
00:04:23.66\00:04:27.72
in the cave.
00:04:27.75\00:04:28.82
And the slimy salamanders
will stay with the eggs the
00:04:28.85\00:04:32.46
whole time until
after they are hatched.
00:04:32.50\00:04:34.74
I talked to an expert
recently, and he said the reason
00:04:34.78\00:04:37.94
they do that, the adults have a
secretion that will protect the
00:04:37.98\00:04:42.36
eggs from a fungus that
normally attacks anything
00:04:42.39\00:04:46.15
in the cave.
00:04:46.19\00:04:47.64
It's just amazing, isn't it?
00:04:47.67\00:04:50.42
We see these
creatures that God made for us
00:04:50.46\00:04:53.50
to see and enjoy.
00:04:53.53\00:04:55.08
And when people say this
just all evolved and we see
00:04:55.11\00:04:58.11
certain processes, it would
be impossible, wouldn't it?
00:04:58.15\00:05:01.06
Yes... He provided this and
provided protection for those
00:05:01.09\00:05:03.97
creatures - even
a slimy salamander.
00:05:04.00\00:05:06.76
Even a slimy salamanders.
00:05:06.79\00:05:08.22
Even a slimy salamander.
00:05:08.25\00:05:09.61
And you know what? Most people
are real interested to find
00:05:09.65\00:05:12.11
out that we don't
usually find snakes in caves.
00:05:12.14\00:05:15.71
That's a common misconception
... that we don't have
00:05:15.75\00:05:19.47
snakes in caves.
00:05:19.51\00:05:20.48
That would be a relief
to many of the people that
00:05:20.51\00:05:22.01
are viewing this.
00:05:22.04\00:05:23.19
Yes. Boys and girls, it's so
much fun to learn about these
00:05:23.23\00:05:25.68
creatures that God made for us.
00:05:25.72\00:05:27.37
So this is Ranger Jim once
again saying don't forget to
00:05:27.41\00:05:30.62
tell Jesus that you love Him,
because He really does love you.
00:05:30.66\00:05:35.32
Hello, Cindy. Hi.
00:05:42.78\00:05:44.84
Why the sad face?
00:05:44.87\00:05:46.86
I'm sad because it's the
next to the last day of school.
00:05:46.89\00:05:49.98
Oh, I get it,
you'll miss your teachers.
00:05:52.43\00:05:54.83
You'll miss your friends.
00:05:54.86\00:05:56.56
No, I'm not gonna miss
my teachers or my friends.
00:05:56.60\00:05:59.06
And I'm definitely not
going to miss the homework.
00:05:59.10\00:06:01.53
It's such a burden.
00:06:01.56\00:06:03.15
Oh but, Cindy,
one more day and that
00:06:03.19\00:06:06.31
burden will be lifted.
00:06:06.34\00:06:07.92
Just like Jesus lifted
our burdens at Calvary.
00:06:07.95\00:06:10.72
Days are filled
with sorrow and care.
00:06:14.89\00:06:18.24
Hearts are lonely and drear.
00:06:18.27\00:06:21.51
Burdens are lifted at
Calvary, Jesus is very near.
00:06:21.55\00:06:28.20
Burdens are lifted at
Calvary, Calvary, Calvary.
00:06:29.91\00:06:36.75
Burdens are lifted at
Calvary, Jesus is very near.
00:06:36.79\00:06:43.60
Cast your cares on Jesus today,
00:06:47.10\00:06:49.92
leave your worry and fear.
00:06:49.95\00:06:53.21
Burdens are lifted at
Calvary, Jesus is very near.
00:06:54.30\00:07:00.60
Burdens are lifted at
Calvary, Calvary, Calvary.
00:07:02.07\00:07:08.80
Burdens are lifted at
Calvary, Jesus is very near.
00:07:09.83\00:07:15.63
Roll, roll your burdens away.
00:07:19.26\00:07:22.84
Roll, roll your burdens away for
00:07:22.87\00:07:26.38
Jesus has
promised to take them all.
00:07:26.42\00:07:29.61
Roll, roll your burdens away.
00:07:29.64\00:07:33.99
Troubles all the Savior can
see, every heartache and tear.
00:07:37.01\00:07:42.92
Burdens are lifted at
Calvary, Jesus is very near.
00:07:44.34\00:07:49.92
Burdens are lifted at
Calvary, Calvary, Calvary.
00:07:51.80\00:07:57.79
Burdens are lifted at.
Calvary, Jesus is very near.
00:07:59.23\00:08:05.37
Hi, boys and girls,
and welcome to Talk Time.
00:08:16.60\00:08:18.74
I'm here today
00:08:18.77\00:08:19.87
with Pastor
John. Hi, Pastor John.
00:08:19.91\00:08:21.76
Good to be here, Brenda.
00:08:21.79\00:08:22.87
Good to have you here.
00:08:22.91\00:08:23.91
Time to get together and
just answer Bible questions.
00:08:23.95\00:08:25.25
That's right and you know what?
00:08:25.28\00:08:26.25
You are really wonderful
to ask questions of, because I
00:08:26.26\00:08:29.68
know that you know your Bible.
00:08:29.72\00:08:30.83
Praise the Lord.
00:08:30.86\00:08:32.17
You studied the Bible So
I'm just going to pull out the
00:08:32.21\00:08:33.63
first question. Okay.
00:08:33.67\00:08:34.78
And it says, "I want
to get my ears pierced,"
00:08:34.81\00:08:37.09
"but my Grandma said
it would make Jesus sad,"
00:08:37.13\00:08:39.38
"is this true?"
00:08:39.41\00:08:40.63
Well, first I want to point
out that you know we can't do
00:08:40.66\00:08:42.49
anything to make
Jesus sad or happy.
00:08:42.52\00:08:44.19
Just imagine all the billions
of people on the planet.
00:08:44.23\00:08:46.45
Would there ever be a
time when He would be happy?
00:08:46.49\00:08:48.96
And so one thing we can't
control the emotions of God.
00:08:48.99\00:08:51.54
Now, pleasing Him is a
different thing all together.
00:08:51.58\00:08:54.06
Pleasing God is what we want
to do and piercing our bodies
00:08:54.09\00:08:56.89
wouldn't please the Lord,
because He looks at jewelry as
00:08:56.92\00:08:59.69
an idol and the
body as His temple.
00:08:59.72\00:09:02.22
So He wants us to keep
His temple free from idols.
00:09:02.25\00:09:05.19
You find that in
2 Corinthians 6:16,
00:09:05.22\00:09:09.79
"What fellowship does the
temple of God have with idols
00:09:09.83\00:09:12.86
"for you are the
temple of the living God. "
00:09:12.89\00:09:14.88
And so, young lady, you
want to keep God's temple free
00:09:14.92\00:09:18.19
from idols, and you do that
because you please God and you
00:09:18.22\00:09:21.45
recognize you belong
to Him and He owns you.
00:09:21.49\00:09:25.39
He always knows
what's best for us.
00:09:25.43\00:09:27.29
Oh, good answer, good answer.
00:09:27.32\00:09:28.75
Okay, another question, it
says, "My Mom and Dad are dead"
00:09:28.78\00:09:32.10
"and I live with my Grandma
who doesn't really want me. "
00:09:32.13\00:09:35.57
"If I kill myself, will I be
in heaven with my Mom and Dad?"
00:09:35.60\00:09:39.01
Pastor Lomacang, I just
want to share this with you.
00:09:39.04\00:09:41.98
This little girl, when she
wrote this, she didn't give a
00:09:42.02\00:09:44.87
return address so I have no
other way to reach her other
00:09:44.91\00:09:47.73
than what you're
going to tell her right now.
00:09:47.76\00:09:49.33
So I think it's really
important that you answer her
00:09:49.37\00:09:51.96
question, she's
really hurting inside.
00:09:52.00\00:09:54.59
She's from St. Lucia.
00:09:54.62\00:09:56.18
St. Lucia! You know when I
was young - you know some of
00:09:56.21\00:09:58.81
my story, being abandoned and
left at a babysitter when I was
00:09:58.84\00:10:01.14
only 3 months old.
00:10:01.17\00:10:02.37
Being raised without my
parents, not knowing who they
00:10:02.40\00:10:04.00
were, there was a day
when I wanted to run away.
00:10:04.04\00:10:06.66
And I didn't know who
tell, I felt rejected.
00:10:06.70\00:10:09.26
I felt like I didn't belong,
I felt that they didn't want
00:10:09.29\00:10:12.12
me similar to what
this young person may feel.
00:10:12.16\00:10:14.65
The only person I told was
my dog and he - I was upset
00:10:14.68\00:10:17.92
that I would be missing
him. I wanted to leave home.
00:10:17.96\00:10:21.12
But then I realized that
there are things I may not
00:10:21.15\00:10:24.25
understand while I'm young
and sometimes a young person's
00:10:24.28\00:10:27.42
idea of being wanted or
not being wanted means I get my
00:10:27.45\00:10:30.55
way or I don't get my way.
00:10:30.58\00:10:32.06
First of all I won't
encourage her or him to run away
00:10:32.10\00:10:36.28
- young girl.
00:10:36.31\00:10:37.75
It's a girl and
she's ten years old.
00:10:37.79\00:10:39.58
Yea, I wouldn't want her to
run away and sadly enough you
00:10:39.62\00:10:42.17
wouldn't want her to take
her life because the Bible says,
00:10:42.21\00:10:44.73
"Thou shalt not kill. "
and that includes yourself.
00:10:44.76\00:10:47.57
What you need to do is
allow yourself to grow up,
00:10:47.61\00:10:50.62
give yourself some time
to understand life better,
00:10:50.65\00:10:53.59
and you'll see that your
parents or your grandparents
00:10:53.63\00:10:56.54
do love you.
00:10:56.57\00:10:57.97
Just give yourself time to
grow with them and I know you
00:10:58.00\00:11:00.30
miss your parents tremendously,
that's something any
00:11:00.33\00:11:02.59
abandoned child, or
child without parents,
00:11:02.62\00:11:05.15
would experience.
00:11:05.19\00:11:06.46
But, you don't want to do
that because that's the worst
00:11:06.49\00:11:08.93
thing - you take away the
best gift that God has given
00:11:08.96\00:11:11.36
to you, and that gift is life.
00:11:11.39\00:11:13.62
But when you give yourself
some time and you get older,
00:11:13.65\00:11:15.44
you'll see that
you'll be a blessing to God.
00:11:15.48\00:11:17.28
And friends, the devil wants
you to take your life so you
00:11:17.31\00:11:20.25
can lose out on being a blessing
to others and most of all
00:11:20.29\00:11:23.20
he wants you to lose
out on being in the kingdom
00:11:23.23\00:11:25.29
eternally and
you don't want that.
00:11:25.32\00:11:27.51
Good answer,
thank you, Pastor John.
00:11:27.54\00:11:29.66
I want to just say this and
the reason why is because the
00:11:29.69\00:11:31.19
Lord loves her more
than she ever knows.
00:11:31.22\00:11:33.65
So right now, give
herself room to understand that.
00:11:33.69\00:11:36.60
What if her Grandma really
doesn't lover her, you know?
00:11:36.63\00:11:39.51
But still, Jesus does.
00:11:39.55\00:11:41.11
Right, that's right.
00:11:41.15\00:11:42.65
Jesus' love is unconditional
no matter what your
00:11:42.68\00:11:45.41
circumstances, His love
is always there for you.
00:11:45.45\00:11:48.15
Yes, that's a good answer.
00:11:48.18\00:11:49.68
This letter is a
real quick question.
00:11:49.71\00:11:51.17
I think we have
time for one more.
00:11:51.20\00:11:52.59
"I stole a dollar that was
in my friend's desk at school. "
00:11:52.62\00:11:55.10
"I asked Jesus to forgive
me, but I don't really want my"
00:11:55.14\00:11:57.58
"friend to know about it. "
00:11:57.61\00:11:58.99
"Is it okay just to tell Jesus?"
00:11:59.03\00:12:01.03
Wow, you know the Bible says
in James 4:17, "To him that"
00:12:01.07\00:12:03.80
"knows to do good and does
not do it, to him it is sin. "
00:12:03.83\00:12:06.67
Now, if your friend missed
that dollar and blamed somebody
00:12:06.70\00:12:09.53
else for it, now it's your
responsibility to get that other
00:12:09.57\00:12:12.48
person off the hook, because
they were falsely accused.
00:12:12.51\00:12:15.19
And so this way you may
grow by going to your friend and
00:12:15.22\00:12:17.87
say, "I apologize
for taking your dollar. "
00:12:17.90\00:12:19.83
"I promise not to do it again. "
00:12:19.86\00:12:21.87
and by being accountable to
him I know that you are going
00:12:21.90\00:12:24.67
to grow, so don't just put
it back secretly because the
00:12:24.70\00:12:27.14
Lord wants you to grow and
go to your friend and I'm sure
00:12:27.17\00:12:29.57
they'll appreciate
it and your friendship
00:12:29.61\00:12:31.04
will be a lot stronger.
00:12:31.08\00:12:32.76
You know, that was a good answer
and I appreciate that, Pastor.
00:12:32.79\00:12:35.60
You know, the kids have
had some good questions today,
00:12:35.63\00:12:37.36
didn't they? They sure have.
00:12:37.39\00:12:38.66
They did, but unfortunately
we're all out of time today.
00:12:38.70\00:12:41.05
Boys and girls if you have
a question for Pastor John,
00:12:41.08\00:12:43.37
just send it to me here at
Kid's Time and we will make sure
00:12:43.40\00:12:45.96
your question gets answered,
because, you know what?
00:12:46.00\00:12:48.29
Your questions
are important to us.
00:12:48.32\00:12:49.74
And your questions
are important to Jesus.
00:12:49.77\00:12:52.78
Hey, fellas, can
you guys keep a secret?
00:15:00.97\00:15:02.86
Yea. I just had an adventure.
00:15:02.89\00:15:07.82
It was crazy! You guys
know about Absalom, right?
00:15:07.85\00:15:12.89
Uh, huh. And how he's having
a revolt against King David?
00:15:12.93\00:15:17.38
Yes. Well, I'm a King David's
man myself and when David
00:15:17.41\00:15:21.79
and all of his followers left,
my father thought it would be
00:15:21.83\00:15:25.19
wise for me and my best friend
to stay behind and hide in a
00:15:25.23\00:15:28.56
village near Jerusalem.
00:15:28.59\00:15:30.37
Jonathan and I,
we're pretty fast.
00:15:30.41\00:15:33.17
I don't want to brag, but we
run all over the place, and my
00:15:33.21\00:15:37.24
father thought that if
David needed to get a message
00:15:37.28\00:15:39.78
really quick, Jonathan
and I could take it and run
00:15:39.82\00:15:42.28
really fast to him.
00:15:42.32\00:15:44.09
It was a good thing, 'cuz
Absalom had a council meeting
00:15:44.13\00:15:47.92
and one of his advisors said,
"Absalom, now is the time to"
00:15:47.95\00:15:52.09
"attack David. He's depressed,
he's not ready for a fight and"
00:15:52.13\00:15:56.23
"he's right at the River Jordan"
00:15:56.27\00:15:57.95
"You can rush in and
kill him, and then the"
00:15:57.99\00:16:00.40
"kingdom will be yours. "
00:16:00.44\00:16:02.08
Fortunately for David,
Absalom said, "Hmmm, what does"
00:16:02.12\00:16:06.61
"Hushai say about this?"
00:16:06.64\00:16:08.41
Hushai, he's also a David's man,
he gave him some bad advice.
00:16:08.44\00:16:15.15
He said, "Oh, great
Absalom, King David is a mighty"
00:16:15.19\00:16:18.90
"warrior and he's not depressed,
he's ready for a fight. "
00:16:18.94\00:16:22.65
"In fact, he's probably set
up ambushes all along the way. "
00:16:22.69\00:16:26.12
"You should wait until you
get your huge army together. "
00:16:26.15\00:16:29.34
"It'll take awhile, but it
will be worth it in the end. "
00:16:29.37\00:16:33.38
Well, fortunately, Absalom
decided to take Hushai's advice
00:16:33.41\00:16:37.38
and he decided to wait.
00:16:37.42\00:16:38.95
Well, Hushai knew that
David was in grave danger.
00:16:38.98\00:16:42.07
So he sent his servant girl,
to the house where Jonathan
00:16:42.11\00:16:45.45
and I were hiding with a
message for David to flee into
00:16:45.49\00:16:48.80
the wilderness.
00:16:48.83\00:16:50.54
When the girl told us, we
snuck out the back door and took
00:16:50.57\00:16:53.60
off through a field.
00:16:53.64\00:16:55.13
Well, unfortunately someone
must have seen us because soon
00:16:55.17\00:16:58.94
we heard horse hoofs behind
us thundering against the ground
00:16:58.97\00:17:02.93
I turned and looked and there
were Absalom's men chasing us.
00:17:02.96\00:17:06.28
They hadn't seen us yet, but
they knew where we were headed
00:17:06.32\00:17:10.65
so I ran and fortunately my
uncle had a farm nearby and we
00:17:10.69\00:17:14.33
made it to the courtyard of
his farm just before the horses.
00:17:14.37\00:17:17.98
I said, "Uncle, you have
to hide us, King David's life"
00:17:18.01\00:17:20.90
"depends upon it. "
00:17:20.94\00:17:22.68
Well, my uncle thinking fast
ran over to the well and pulled
00:17:22.72\00:17:25.71
off the cover and Jonathan
and I climbed down in it.
00:17:25.74\00:17:28.52
And he slammed the well cover
on top and spread some grain
00:17:28.55\00:17:31.52
just as Absalom's men
charged into the courtyard.
00:17:31.55\00:17:35.83
It was dark and cold and
all I heard were the horses
00:17:35.87\00:17:40.12
stopping and evil
men yelling and shouting.
00:17:40.15\00:17:43.68
Then they ran
off, and it was silent.
00:17:43.72\00:17:47.12
I was down there
freezing and I was so scared.
00:17:47.16\00:17:51.05
I knew that if I
got caught I could die.
00:17:51.09\00:17:53.86
Well, after a few hours my
uncle peeked open the lid and
00:17:53.90\00:17:58.29
dropped a rope down, and
Jonathan and I climbed out, and
00:17:58.33\00:18:02.23
he said, "Well, Absalom's
men have gone, it's safe now. "
00:18:02.27\00:18:06.13
"Go tell Kind
David your message. ".
00:18:06.17\00:18:08.14
Well, Jonathan and I we took
off just as fast as we could
00:18:08.17\00:18:11.15
straight to King David's tent.
00:18:11.19\00:18:13.33
And we got there and we
said, "Your Majesty must flee!"
00:18:13.36\00:18:17.31
"Absalom will be
ready to attack you soon. "
00:18:17.34\00:18:19.95
"You've got to cross
the River Jordan tonight!"
00:18:19.98\00:18:22.52
Well, King David gave the
orders to break camp and he got
00:18:22.55\00:18:26.22
his men together and
they crossed the Jordan River
00:18:26.25\00:18:28.93
and were saved.
00:18:28.96\00:18:30.55
God was able to use
Jonathan and me to rescue
00:18:30.58\00:18:34.06
the Lord's anointed.
00:18:34.09\00:18:36.20
Sometimes I feel
young and like I can't
00:18:36.23\00:18:39.58
do anything important.
00:18:39.61\00:18:41.63
But today God used me,
and God can use you guys too.
00:18:41.67\00:18:45.57
You've got talents.
00:18:45.60\00:18:47.37
I can run fast,
you got your slingshot.
00:18:47.40\00:18:49.84
Whatever you're good at
just keep practicing and one day
00:18:49.88\00:18:53.00
you can use that gift for God.
00:18:53.04\00:18:55.56
Well, that soldier's
awful close I better go.
00:18:55.60\00:18:59.00
But keep the secret for me.
00:18:59.03\00:19:01.18
Just keep the secret, okay?
00:19:01.21\00:19:03.32
Hey! Hey you! Whoa!
00:19:03.36\00:19:04.86
Hey, stop! Come back
here, in the name of Absalom,
00:19:04.89\00:19:07.30
come back!
00:19:07.33\00:19:08.61
Beautiful,
beautiful, Jesus is beautiful,
00:19:23.16\00:19:29.63
and Jesus makes
beautiful things of my life.
00:19:29.67\00:19:36.11
Carefully touching
me, causing my eyes to see
00:19:37.20\00:19:43.34
that Jesus makes
beautiful things of my life.
00:19:43.37\00:19:49.47
It's time for Miss
Brenda's Book of the Day!
00:20:00.87\00:20:04.07
And, boys and girls,
I can't wait to tell you
00:20:04.11\00:20:07.27
about this book.
00:20:07.31\00:20:08.39
It's by Eric B.
Hare, JUNGLE HEROES.
00:20:08.42\00:20:10.69
And Eric B. Hare is one
of my very favorite authors.
00:20:10.72\00:20:14.00
I had his books when I was
a child and absolutely loved
00:20:14.04\00:20:17.28
them and you will too.
00:20:17.32\00:20:18.48
This says, "JUNGLE HEROES is
a collection of Eric B. Hare"
00:20:18.52\00:20:21.64
"His favorite stores from
the teaming jungles of Burma,"
00:20:21.67\00:20:24.93
"a land of tigers and elephants,
riverboats, and oxcarts,"
00:20:24.97\00:20:28.27
"even witchdoctors, and
true heroes of the living God. "
00:20:28.31\00:20:31.57
"Mystery and adventure
leap from the pages of"
00:20:31.61\00:20:34.10
"this classic book. "
00:20:34.14\00:20:36.12
Oh, boys and girls, you're
gonna want to read this book,
00:20:36.16\00:20:38.22
Eric B. Hare's JUNGLE HEROES.
00:20:38.26\00:20:41.41
Well I have two special guests
with me today that I'd like
00:20:41.44\00:20:43.83
to introduce to you.
00:20:43.87\00:20:44.98
I have two sisters,
Giselle and Annette,
00:20:45.02\00:20:47.41
and I am so thankful that you
are here with us on Kid's Time.
00:20:47.45\00:20:49.89
And tell me Giselle,
what do you do to share Jesus?
00:20:49.93\00:20:53.56
I tell stories about Jesus.
00:20:53.59\00:20:55.54
You do? What kind of stories?
00:20:55.58\00:20:57.80
Well, like Jesus' miracles.
00:20:57.84\00:21:00.00
And have you had any
wonderful experiences from
00:21:00.03\00:21:02.63
telling those stories?
00:21:02.66\00:21:03.99
Yes. Can you tell me about it?
00:21:04.03\00:21:05.39
Well, one time when we were
at Grandma's house and we went
00:21:05.43\00:21:12.04
to a park and we
played with these girls.
00:21:12.08\00:21:15.84
After we played for a
little bit, I asked them if they
00:21:15.87\00:21:19.45
wanted to hear a story.
00:21:19.49\00:21:21.29
And they said yes
that they would like to.
00:21:21.32\00:21:24.29
So I told them two stories.
00:21:24.33\00:21:27.07
Two stories. Do you
remember which two stories
00:21:27.11\00:21:28.95
you told them?
00:21:28.99\00:21:30.09
Yes. Which ones were they?
00:21:30.13\00:21:31.15
The story of when Jesus
multiplied the five loaves
00:21:31.18\00:21:34.30
and two fishes.
00:21:34.33\00:21:35.60
Oh, I like that one.
00:21:35.63\00:21:36.66
And the story of when
Jesus raised Jairus's daughter
00:21:36.69\00:21:39.14
from the dead..
00:21:39.18\00:21:40.53
Oh, you know what? We told both
those stories on Kid's Time.
00:21:40.57\00:21:42.79
Did you that?
00:21:42.82\00:21:44.10
We have. How about
Annette, what have you
00:21:44.13\00:21:45.84
done to share Jesus?
00:21:45.88\00:21:47.11
I make booklets and bookmarks.
00:21:47.14\00:21:52.75
What kind of bookmarks?
00:21:52.79\00:21:55.36
We put little Bible
characters on them, like Jesus.
00:21:55.40\00:22:00.21
That's a good
thing to do isn't it?
00:22:00.24\00:22:03.18
And, you know, I can tell
that both of you love to witness
00:22:03.21\00:22:05.99
for Jesus, don't you?
00:22:06.03\00:22:07.49
What does it make you
feel like inside when you
00:22:07.52\00:22:10.06
witness for Jesus?
00:22:10.09\00:22:12.11
Happy. It does, doesn't it?
00:22:12.14\00:22:13.97
There is no greater joy
than serving Jesus, right?
00:22:14.01\00:22:17.06
Yes... Well right now I
have somebody that loves
00:22:17.10\00:22:20.12
to share Jesus, too.
00:22:20.15\00:22:21.79
And I would like to go -
we're going to go all the way to
00:22:21.83\00:22:25.25
Oshkosh, Wisconsin where we're
going to hear from Bradford.
00:22:25.29\00:22:28.68
And he's going to tell
you how he shares Jesus.
00:22:28.72\00:22:30.61
"Hi, Miss Brenda, my name is
Bradford, and the way that I"
00:22:32.52\00:22:35.43
"share Jesus with the world
is by making my attitude and"
00:22:35.47\00:22:38.34
"my lifestyle the way
that Jesus wants it to be".
00:22:38.38\00:22:41.26
"When someone asks me to do
something that the Bible or"
00:22:41.30\00:22:45.18
"Jesus tells me not to, I
simply deny because by making"
00:22:45.22\00:22:49.07
"my life an example of Jesus,"
00:22:49.10\00:22:50.78
"I'm not only showing Jesus
that I love Him, but I'm also"
00:22:50.82\00:22:54.80
"witnessing to
others around me. "
00:22:54.84\00:22:56.67
"That is how I share
Jesus with the world. "
00:22:56.70\00:22:59.61
Ohhh, thank you, Bradford,
that was really inspiring and I
00:23:01.42\00:23:04.27
want to encourage all you
boys and girls out there to
00:23:04.31\00:23:06.56
witness by your actions.
00:23:06.59\00:23:08.82
That means a lot.
00:23:08.85\00:23:10.06
Well, right now, I have a
letter from Union City, Michigan
00:23:10.09\00:23:13.51
and it's from Shaley
and she sent a picture.
00:23:13.54\00:23:17.62
Can you hold that up for me?
00:23:17.65\00:23:19.46
And also she sent two dollars.
00:23:19.49\00:23:21.17
Let's see what Shaley says.
00:23:21.21\00:23:22.82
Says, "Dear Miss Brenda,
I sure love Kid's Time. "
00:23:22.86\00:23:25.06
"My name is Shaley
and I'm five years old. "
00:23:25.09\00:23:27.32
"I learn so many
lessons on how to be"
00:23:27.36\00:23:29.42
"healthy and be organized"
00:23:29.45\00:23:30.99
"from your show. "
00:23:31.03\00:23:32.00
"I love Jesus so much
and I want to live for Him
00:23:32.02\00:23:34.05
every day. "
00:23:34.09\00:23:35.13
"Please send me the
Kid's Time lessons. "
00:23:35.17\00:23:37.94
"Love, Shaley and enclosed
is some money to help cover"
00:23:37.98\00:23:41.44
" the cost of sending my
lessons to me. " Well, thank you
00:23:41.47\00:23:44.89
Shaley and I'll make
sure that that money goes
00:23:44.93\00:23:47.08
- the lessons
are free, by the way.
00:23:47.12\00:23:49.01
But if you want to
help, that is fine too.
00:23:49.04\00:23:51.65
We'll just take that
as an offering to that.
00:23:51.68\00:23:54.26
But they are
free, boys and girls.
00:23:54.29\00:23:55.90
You don't have to pay
for the Bible lessons.
00:23:55.93\00:23:57.89
All right, let's
just do an email.
00:23:57.93\00:24:00.46
This email says, "Dear Miss
Brenda, My name is Jennifer"
00:24:00.50\00:24:03.72
"and I'm ten years old
and I presently live in
00:24:03.76\00:24:06.91
Saudi Arabia. "
00:24:06.95\00:24:08.29
"I would like to join
your Kid's Club family. "
00:24:08.32\00:24:10.89
"And please, kindly accept
my request and sign me up for"
00:24:10.93\00:24:14.87
"your Bible study lessons. "
00:24:14.90\00:24:16.76
"Thank you and I'm eagerly
awaiting for your mail. "
00:24:16.79\00:24:19.52
"I want you to know that I
watch Kid's Time everyday. "
00:24:19.56\00:24:22.59
"In fact, it comes on at
midnight in Saudi Arabia and I"
00:24:22.62\00:24:25.61
"wake up at night
just to see your program. "
00:24:25.65\00:24:28.65
"Thank you so
much. Love, Jennifer. "
00:24:28.69\00:24:31.23
Well, Jennifer that is so
precious that you even wake up
00:24:31.27\00:24:34.13
to see Kid's Time and I'm glad
you're enjoying the program.
00:24:34.16\00:24:36.98
There's another letter here.
00:24:38.37\00:24:39.58
Let's see where
this is from and it says
00:24:39.62\00:24:42.34
- oh, this is
from New Zealand, and
00:24:42.38\00:24:44.65
- oh, boys and girls, I love
getting your letters, and this
00:24:44.68\00:24:47.31
says, "Dear Miss Brenda, My
name is Matthew and I'm seven"
00:24:47.34\00:24:49.93
"years old, and I
live in New Zealand. "
00:24:49.97\00:24:52.68
"Please, may I have an activity
book and one for my two"
00:24:52.71\00:24:56.53
"brothers? I share Jesus by
raising money for the tsunami"
00:24:56.56\00:25:01.16
"victims. I did jobs around
the house and I also sold"
00:25:01.20\00:25:05.76
"cookies. Love,
Matthew. I love Jesus. "
00:25:05.80\00:25:08.82
Well, Matthew, thank you
for that and you know what?
00:25:08.86\00:25:11.81
I know that made Jesus
very happy that you shared
00:25:11.85\00:25:14.42
Jesus that way and
helped the tsunami victims.
00:25:14.46\00:25:16.96
See, I have another email,
"Dear Miss Brenda, we've been"
00:25:16.99\00:25:19.94
"watching the Kid's Time
program for the past year and"
00:25:19.97\00:25:22.88
"all your
programs are so good. "
00:25:22.92\00:25:24.47
"We're learning so
much about Jesus. "
00:25:24.50\00:25:26.47
"We are watching from Oman.
Please send us your Activity"
00:25:26.51\00:25:30.09
"Book. Best regards,
Joel, Jonas, and Christopher. "
00:25:30.12\00:25:34.28
Well, thank you for that,
let's see, I think we have time
00:25:34.32\00:25:36.94
for another letter.
00:25:36.97\00:25:38.06
This is from
Walla Walla, Washington.
00:25:38.10\00:25:39.78
It's from Carina. It
says, "Dear Miss Brenda, I love"
00:25:39.82\00:25:42.23
"watching Kid's Time. Most
of all, I love Jesus and I like"
00:25:42.26\00:25:44.93
"doing things for other
people. A few months ago when"
00:25:44.97\00:25:47.55
"Daddy's aunt moved
into her new house,"
00:25:47.58\00:25:49.40
"I helped Daddy put a cabinet
together and I set it up. "
00:25:49.43\00:25:52.32
"I also helped Mommy unpack
the boxes and put things away. "
00:25:52.35\00:25:55.20
"And then I also helped
Mommy when she was very sick. "
00:25:55.24\00:25:58.65
"I helped nurse her back to
health. I also took toys to"
00:25:58.68\00:26:02.76
"her so she wouldn't be bored
and lonely. Thank you so much"
00:26:02.80\00:26:06.82
"for Kid's Time, I sure love
it and I want to join for the"
00:26:06.86\00:26:10.85
"Bible stories. Love, Carina. "
00:26:10.88\00:26:12.77
Well, thank you, Carina,
and you were sharing Jesus by
00:26:12.80\00:26:15.65
helping your family.
00:26:15.68\00:26:16.79
Thank you, girls,

00:26:16.83\00:26:18.67
Boys and girls, that's

you do, remember it's
Kid's Time to share Jesus.
