00:03 It's a time to share, there's a
00:05 world out there looking for a 00:07 friend like Jesus. 00:10 It's time to share there's a world out there, 00:13 let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:17 Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:21 Kid's Time, Kid's Time, Kid's Time. 00:24 Hi, boys and girls, don't you just love a great story? 00:27 I know I do, and have you ever noticed that the most 00:30 interesting stories are usually about events 00:33 that actually happened? 00:34 Well, I have two brothers who always seemed to be off on 00:37 some wild adventure when they were young. 00:39 And my brother Jim likes to tell about a downhill ski trip 00:42 that he took once. 00:43 Now, somehow he accidentally took a wrong turn down the 00:46 mountain and he ended up on a black diamond ski hill. 00:49 Now, boys and girls, let me tell you what, those are the 00:52 hardest hills to ski down and you don't want to ski down a 00:55 black diamond unless you really do know what you're doing. 00:58 Well, my brother didn't and it was too late, there was 01:02 nowhere to go but straight down and at break neck speed. 01:05 He found himself skiing faster, and faster, and faster 01:08 until he was completely out of control. 01:10 And he even went flying over a huge ski jump that caught 01:14 him by surprise, and he eventually fell. 01:17 But when you fall on a black diamond, you don't just stop, 01:20 oh, no, you just keep going and rolling and rolling and 01:23 rolling and hoping that you get to the bottom 01:25 in one piece. 01:26 He thought for sure he was a goner. 01:28 But you know what? 01:29 When he did eventually come to a stop, it wasn't a pretty 01:32 sight, he was pretty banged up, and shaken up, and fed up. 01:36 But at least he was in one piece. 01:38 It's funny now when he tells that story, but I'm sure it 01:41 wasn't funny then. 01:42 You know, teenage boys always seem to have some wild 01:45 adventure to tell about. 01:46 And in today's Bible story, you'll hear a young man tell 01:49 about an adventure that he had defending his 01:52 beloved King David. 01:54 Now you won't want to miss this story I can tell you that. 01:56 But first let's see what Ranger Jim has to show us. 02:06 Hi, boys and girls, Ranger Jim saying welcome 02:08 to Nature Time. 02:09 We're glad you can join us today. 02:10 We're in beautiful Raccoon Mountain Cavern near 02:13 Chattanooga, Tennessee. 02:15 And we have our friend Patty with us. 02:17 And, Patty, what is this beautiful pool that I see here? 02:19 Beautiful water, what is this? 02:21 This is called Reflection Pool, Ranger Jim, and this 02:25 pool is really neat. 02:26 The reason it reflects the water so well is because of the 02:29 minerals in the water. 02:31 We have lots of manganese, which is the material they use 02:34 to put over glass to make mirrors. 02:37 Neat, is what reflects that? Yes. 02:39 Is there anything living in the pool? 02:41 Well salamanders like this pool of water. 02:44 We have several different kinds of salamanders. 02:46 Some live in the front part of the cave like the sliming 02:49 salamanders and the cave salamanders. 02:51 The cave salamanders will actually lay their eggs in this 02:55 pool of water and they'll hatch. 02:57 When the salamanders are a couple months old, they start 03:00 crawling out and then they live on land. 03:02 They'll come and in out of the cave. 03:05 We also have bats. 03:09 They don't, of course, live in the pool. 03:11 But, they'll hang from the ceiling and sleep 03:14 during the day here. 03:15 We like having them around because they can eat mosquitoes 03:18 for us in the evening when they're out flying around. 03:22 Each little bat in here, believe it or not, can eat 600 03:26 mosquitoes every hour. 03:28 An hour? Isn't that amazing. 03:30 An hour. 03:31 Now let me ask you, you talk about the slimy salamanders, 03:33 most boys and girls and most adults think all salamanders 03:36 are slimy, but they're not, are they? 03:38 Well, slimy salamander is actually the name 03:41 of the species. 03:42 In the Appalachians we have over 3000 species of 03:46 salamanders around here. 03:48 In the cave itself we have 5 different species. 03:51 And although they all have moist skin, they are not all 03:55 slimy salamanders. 03:56 They're not all slimy. 03:58 And what do the salamanders eat here in the cave? 04:00 Do they find other things? 04:02 In the cave they don't actually eat anything, there's not 04:04 enough food for them in here. 04:06 So they go outside and they eat bugs. 04:08 They can shoot their tongues out really fast and catch a 04:10 bug and swallow it. 04:12 And that's what they eat. 04:13 Then the parent doesn't have any process of feeding the 04:16 babies once they hatch? 04:17 They're independent and they are able to get 04:20 their own food? 04:21 That's something, that's actually being studied. 04:23 The slimy salamanders will put their eggs in little holes 04:27 in the cave. 04:28 And the slimy salamanders will stay with the eggs the 04:32 whole time until after they are hatched. 04:34 I talked to an expert recently, and he said the reason 04:37 they do that, the adults have a secretion that will protect the 04:42 eggs from a fungus that normally attacks anything 04:46 in the cave. 04:47 It's just amazing, isn't it? 04:50 We see these creatures that God made for us 04:53 to see and enjoy. 04:55 And when people say this just all evolved and we see 04:58 certain processes, it would be impossible, wouldn't it? 05:01 Yes... He provided this and provided protection for those 05:04 creatures - even a slimy salamander. 05:06 Even a slimy salamanders. 05:08 Even a slimy salamander. 05:09 And you know what? Most people are real interested to find 05:12 out that we don't usually find snakes in caves. 05:15 That's a common misconception ... that we don't have 05:19 snakes in caves. 05:20 That would be a relief to many of the people that 05:22 are viewing this. 05:23 Yes. Boys and girls, it's so much fun to learn about these 05:25 creatures that God made for us. 05:27 So this is Ranger Jim once again saying don't forget to 05:30 tell Jesus that you love Him, because He really does love you. 05:42 Hello, Cindy. Hi. 05:44 Why the sad face? 05:46 I'm sad because it's the next to the last day of school. 05:52 Oh, I get it, you'll miss your teachers. 05:54 You'll miss your friends. 05:56 No, I'm not gonna miss my teachers or my friends. 05:59 And I'm definitely not going to miss the homework. 06:01 It's such a burden. 06:03 Oh but, Cindy, one more day and that 06:06 burden will be lifted. 06:07 Just like Jesus lifted our burdens at Calvary. 06:14 Days are filled with sorrow and care. 06:18 Hearts are lonely and drear. 06:21 Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near. 06:29 Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Calvary, Calvary. 06:36 Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near. 06:47 Cast your cares on Jesus today, 06:49 leave your worry and fear. 06:54 Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near. 07:02 Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Calvary, Calvary. 07:09 Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near. 07:19 Roll, roll your burdens away. 07:22 Roll, roll your burdens away for 07:26 Jesus has promised to take them all. 07:29 Roll, roll your burdens away. 07:37 Troubles all the Savior can see, every heartache and tear. 07:44 Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Jesus is very near. 07:51 Burdens are lifted at Calvary, Calvary, Calvary. 07:59 Burdens are lifted at. Calvary, Jesus is very near. 08:16 Hi, boys and girls, and welcome to Talk Time. 08:18 I'm here today 08:19 with Pastor John. Hi, Pastor John. 08:21 Good to be here, Brenda. 08:22 Good to have you here. 08:23 Time to get together and just answer Bible questions. 08:25 That's right and you know what? 08:26 You are really wonderful to ask questions of, because I 08:29 know that you know your Bible. 08:30 Praise the Lord. 08:32 You studied the Bible So I'm just going to pull out the 08:33 first question. Okay. 08:34 And it says, "I want to get my ears pierced," 08:37 "but my Grandma said it would make Jesus sad," 08:39 "is this true?" 08:40 Well, first I want to point out that you know we can't do 08:42 anything to make Jesus sad or happy. 08:44 Just imagine all the billions of people on the planet. 08:46 Would there ever be a time when He would be happy? 08:48 And so one thing we can't control the emotions of God. 08:51 Now, pleasing Him is a different thing all together. 08:54 Pleasing God is what we want to do and piercing our bodies 08:56 wouldn't please the Lord, because He looks at jewelry as 08:59 an idol and the body as His temple. 09:02 So He wants us to keep His temple free from idols. 09:05 You find that in 2 Corinthians 6:16, 09:09 "What fellowship does the temple of God have with idols 09:12 "for you are the temple of the living God. " 09:14 And so, young lady, you want to keep God's temple free 09:18 from idols, and you do that because you please God and you 09:21 recognize you belong to Him and He owns you. 09:25 He always knows what's best for us. 09:27 Oh, good answer, good answer. 09:28 Okay, another question, it says, "My Mom and Dad are dead" 09:32 "and I live with my Grandma who doesn't really want me. " 09:35 "If I kill myself, will I be in heaven with my Mom and Dad?" 09:39 Pastor Lomacang, I just want to share this with you. 09:42 This little girl, when she wrote this, she didn't give a 09:44 return address so I have no other way to reach her other 09:47 than what you're going to tell her right now. 09:49 So I think it's really important that you answer her 09:52 question, she's really hurting inside. 09:54 She's from St. Lucia. 09:56 St. Lucia! You know when I was young - you know some of 09:58 my story, being abandoned and left at a babysitter when I was 10:01 only 3 months old. 10:02 Being raised without my parents, not knowing who they 10:04 were, there was a day when I wanted to run away. 10:06 And I didn't know who tell, I felt rejected. 10:09 I felt like I didn't belong, I felt that they didn't want 10:12 me similar to what this young person may feel. 10:14 The only person I told was my dog and he - I was upset 10:17 that I would be missing him. I wanted to leave home. 10:21 But then I realized that there are things I may not 10:24 understand while I'm young and sometimes a young person's 10:27 idea of being wanted or not being wanted means I get my 10:30 way or I don't get my way. 10:32 First of all I won't encourage her or him to run away 10:36 - young girl. 10:37 It's a girl and she's ten years old. 10:39 Yea, I wouldn't want her to run away and sadly enough you 10:42 wouldn't want her to take her life because the Bible says, 10:44 "Thou shalt not kill. " and that includes yourself. 10:47 What you need to do is allow yourself to grow up, 10:50 give yourself some time to understand life better, 10:53 and you'll see that your parents or your grandparents 10:56 do love you. 10:58 Just give yourself time to grow with them and I know you 11:00 miss your parents tremendously, that's something any 11:02 abandoned child, or child without parents, 11:05 would experience. 11:06 But, you don't want to do that because that's the worst 11:08 thing - you take away the best gift that God has given 11:11 to you, and that gift is life. 11:13 But when you give yourself some time and you get older, 11:15 you'll see that you'll be a blessing to God. 11:17 And friends, the devil wants you to take your life so you 11:20 can lose out on being a blessing to others and most of all 11:23 he wants you to lose out on being in the kingdom 11:25 eternally and you don't want that. 11:27 Good answer, thank you, Pastor John. 11:29 I want to just say this and the reason why is because the 11:31 Lord loves her more than she ever knows. 11:33 So right now, give herself room to understand that. 11:36 What if her Grandma really doesn't lover her, you know? 11:39 But still, Jesus does. 11:41 Right, that's right. 11:42 Jesus' love is unconditional no matter what your 11:45 circumstances, His love is always there for you. 11:48 Yes, that's a good answer. 11:49 This letter is a real quick question. 11:51 I think we have time for one more. 11:52 "I stole a dollar that was in my friend's desk at school. " 11:55 "I asked Jesus to forgive me, but I don't really want my" 11:57 "friend to know about it. " 11:59 "Is it okay just to tell Jesus?" 12:01 Wow, you know the Bible says in James 4:17, "To him that" 12:03 "knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin. " 12:06 Now, if your friend missed that dollar and blamed somebody 12:09 else for it, now it's your responsibility to get that other 12:12 person off the hook, because they were falsely accused. 12:15 And so this way you may grow by going to your friend and 12:17 say, "I apologize for taking your dollar. " 12:19 "I promise not to do it again. " 12:21 and by being accountable to him I know that you are going 12:24 to grow, so don't just put it back secretly because the 12:27 Lord wants you to grow and go to your friend and I'm sure 12:29 they'll appreciate it and your friendship 12:31 will be a lot stronger. 12:32 You know, that was a good answer and I appreciate that, Pastor. 12:35 You know, the kids have had some good questions today, 12:37 didn't they? They sure have. 12:38 They did, but unfortunately we're all out of time today. 12:41 Boys and girls if you have a question for Pastor John, 12:43 just send it to me here at Kid's Time and we will make sure 12:46 your question gets answered, because, you know what? 12:48 Your questions are important to us. 12:49 And your questions are important to Jesus. 15:00 Hey, fellas, can you guys keep a secret? 15:02 Yea. I just had an adventure. 15:07 It was crazy! You guys know about Absalom, right? 15:12 Uh, huh. And how he's having a revolt against King David? 15:17 Yes. Well, I'm a King David's man myself and when David 15:21 and all of his followers left, my father thought it would be 15:25 wise for me and my best friend to stay behind and hide in a 15:28 village near Jerusalem. 15:30 Jonathan and I, we're pretty fast. 15:33 I don't want to brag, but we run all over the place, and my 15:37 father thought that if David needed to get a message 15:39 really quick, Jonathan and I could take it and run 15:42 really fast to him. 15:44 It was a good thing, 'cuz Absalom had a council meeting 15:47 and one of his advisors said, "Absalom, now is the time to" 15:52 "attack David. He's depressed, he's not ready for a fight and" 15:56 "he's right at the River Jordan" 15:57 "You can rush in and kill him, and then the" 16:00 "kingdom will be yours. " 16:02 Fortunately for David, Absalom said, "Hmmm, what does" 16:06 "Hushai say about this?" 16:08 Hushai, he's also a David's man, he gave him some bad advice. 16:15 He said, "Oh, great Absalom, King David is a mighty" 16:18 "warrior and he's not depressed, he's ready for a fight. " 16:22 "In fact, he's probably set up ambushes all along the way. " 16:26 "You should wait until you get your huge army together. " 16:29 "It'll take awhile, but it will be worth it in the end. " 16:33 Well, fortunately, Absalom decided to take Hushai's advice 16:37 and he decided to wait. 16:38 Well, Hushai knew that David was in grave danger. 16:42 So he sent his servant girl, to the house where Jonathan 16:45 and I were hiding with a message for David to flee into 16:48 the wilderness. 16:50 When the girl told us, we snuck out the back door and took 16:53 off through a field. 16:55 Well, unfortunately someone must have seen us because soon 16:58 we heard horse hoofs behind us thundering against the ground 17:02 I turned and looked and there were Absalom's men chasing us. 17:06 They hadn't seen us yet, but they knew where we were headed 17:10 so I ran and fortunately my uncle had a farm nearby and we 17:14 made it to the courtyard of his farm just before the horses. 17:18 I said, "Uncle, you have to hide us, King David's life" 17:20 "depends upon it. " 17:22 Well, my uncle thinking fast ran over to the well and pulled 17:25 off the cover and Jonathan and I climbed down in it. 17:28 And he slammed the well cover on top and spread some grain 17:31 just as Absalom's men charged into the courtyard. 17:35 It was dark and cold and all I heard were the horses 17:40 stopping and evil men yelling and shouting. 17:43 Then they ran off, and it was silent. 17:47 I was down there freezing and I was so scared. 17:51 I knew that if I got caught I could die. 17:53 Well, after a few hours my uncle peeked open the lid and 17:58 dropped a rope down, and Jonathan and I climbed out, and 18:02 he said, "Well, Absalom's men have gone, it's safe now. " 18:06 "Go tell Kind David your message. ". 18:08 Well, Jonathan and I we took off just as fast as we could 18:11 straight to King David's tent. 18:13 And we got there and we said, "Your Majesty must flee!" 18:17 "Absalom will be ready to attack you soon. " 18:19 "You've got to cross the River Jordan tonight!" 18:22 Well, King David gave the orders to break camp and he got 18:26 his men together and they crossed the Jordan River 18:28 and were saved. 18:30 God was able to use Jonathan and me to rescue 18:34 the Lord's anointed. 18:36 Sometimes I feel young and like I can't 18:39 do anything important. 18:41 But today God used me, and God can use you guys too. 18:45 You've got talents. 18:47 I can run fast, you got your slingshot. 18:49 Whatever you're good at just keep practicing and one day 18:53 you can use that gift for God. 18:55 Well, that soldier's awful close I better go. 18:59 But keep the secret for me. 19:01 Just keep the secret, okay? 19:03 Hey! Hey you! Whoa! 19:04 Hey, stop! Come back here, in the name of Absalom, 19:07 come back! 19:23 Beautiful, beautiful, Jesus is beautiful, 19:29 and Jesus makes beautiful things of my life. 19:37 Carefully touching me, causing my eyes to see 19:43 that Jesus makes beautiful things of my life. 20:00 It's time for Miss Brenda's Book of the Day! 20:04 And, boys and girls, I can't wait to tell you 20:07 about this book. 20:08 It's by Eric B. Hare, JUNGLE HEROES. 20:10 And Eric B. Hare is one of my very favorite authors. 20:14 I had his books when I was a child and absolutely loved 20:17 them and you will too. 20:18 This says, "JUNGLE HEROES is a collection of Eric B. Hare" 20:21 "His favorite stores from the teaming jungles of Burma," 20:24 "a land of tigers and elephants, riverboats, and oxcarts," 20:28 "even witchdoctors, and true heroes of the living God. " 20:31 "Mystery and adventure leap from the pages of" 20:34 "this classic book. " 20:36 Oh, boys and girls, you're gonna want to read this book, 20:38 Eric B. Hare's JUNGLE HEROES. 20:41 Well I have two special guests with me today that I'd like 20:43 to introduce to you. 20:45 I have two sisters, Giselle and Annette, 20:47 and I am so thankful that you are here with us on Kid's Time. 20:49 And tell me Giselle, what do you do to share Jesus? 20:53 I tell stories about Jesus. 20:55 You do? What kind of stories? 20:57 Well, like Jesus' miracles. 21:00 And have you had any wonderful experiences from 21:02 telling those stories? 21:04 Yes. Can you tell me about it? 21:05 Well, one time when we were at Grandma's house and we went 21:12 to a park and we played with these girls. 21:15 After we played for a little bit, I asked them if they 21:19 wanted to hear a story. 21:21 And they said yes that they would like to. 21:24 So I told them two stories. 21:27 Two stories. Do you remember which two stories 21:28 you told them? 21:30 Yes. Which ones were they? 21:31 The story of when Jesus multiplied the five loaves 21:34 and two fishes. 21:35 Oh, I like that one. 21:36 And the story of when Jesus raised Jairus's daughter 21:39 from the dead.. 21:40 Oh, you know what? We told both those stories on Kid's Time. 21:42 Did you that? 21:44 We have. How about Annette, what have you 21:45 done to share Jesus? 21:47 I make booklets and bookmarks. 21:52 What kind of bookmarks? 21:55 We put little Bible characters on them, like Jesus. 22:00 That's a good thing to do isn't it? 22:03 And, you know, I can tell that both of you love to witness 22:06 for Jesus, don't you? 22:07 What does it make you feel like inside when you 22:10 witness for Jesus? 22:12 Happy. It does, doesn't it? 22:14 There is no greater joy than serving Jesus, right? 22:17 Yes... Well right now I have somebody that loves 22:20 to share Jesus, too. 22:21 And I would like to go - we're going to go all the way to 22:25 Oshkosh, Wisconsin where we're going to hear from Bradford. 22:28 And he's going to tell you how he shares Jesus. 22:32 "Hi, Miss Brenda, my name is Bradford, and the way that I" 22:35 "share Jesus with the world is by making my attitude and" 22:38 "my lifestyle the way that Jesus wants it to be". 22:41 "When someone asks me to do something that the Bible or" 22:45 "Jesus tells me not to, I simply deny because by making" 22:49 "my life an example of Jesus," 22:50 "I'm not only showing Jesus that I love Him, but I'm also" 22:54 "witnessing to others around me. " 22:56 "That is how I share Jesus with the world. " 23:01 Ohhh, thank you, Bradford, that was really inspiring and I 23:04 want to encourage all you boys and girls out there to 23:06 witness by your actions. 23:08 That means a lot. 23:10 Well, right now, I have a letter from Union City, Michigan 23:13 and it's from Shaley and she sent a picture. 23:17 Can you hold that up for me? 23:19 And also she sent two dollars. 23:21 Let's see what Shaley says. 23:22 Says, "Dear Miss Brenda, I sure love Kid's Time. " 23:25 "My name is Shaley and I'm five years old. " 23:27 "I learn so many lessons on how to be" 23:29 "healthy and be organized" 23:31 "from your show. " 23:32 "I love Jesus so much and I want to live for Him 23:34 every day. " 23:35 "Please send me the Kid's Time lessons. " 23:37 "Love, Shaley and enclosed is some money to help cover" 23:41 " the cost of sending my lessons to me. " Well, thank you 23:44 Shaley and I'll make sure that that money goes 23:47 - the lessons are free, by the way. 23:49 But if you want to help, that is fine too. 23:51 We'll just take that as an offering to that. 23:54 But they are free, boys and girls. 23:55 You don't have to pay for the Bible lessons. 23:57 All right, let's just do an email. 24:00 This email says, "Dear Miss Brenda, My name is Jennifer" 24:03 "and I'm ten years old and I presently live in 24:06 Saudi Arabia. " 24:08 "I would like to join your Kid's Club family. " 24:10 "And please, kindly accept my request and sign me up for" 24:14 "your Bible study lessons. " 24:16 "Thank you and I'm eagerly awaiting for your mail. " 24:19 "I want you to know that I watch Kid's Time everyday. " 24:22 "In fact, it comes on at midnight in Saudi Arabia and I" 24:25 "wake up at night just to see your program. " 24:28 "Thank you so much. Love, Jennifer. " 24:31 Well, Jennifer that is so precious that you even wake up 24:34 to see Kid's Time and I'm glad you're enjoying the program. 24:38 There's another letter here. 24:39 Let's see where this is from and it says 24:42 - oh, this is from New Zealand, and 24:44 - oh, boys and girls, I love getting your letters, and this 24:47 says, "Dear Miss Brenda, My name is Matthew and I'm seven" 24:49 "years old, and I live in New Zealand. " 24:52 "Please, may I have an activity book and one for my two" 24:56 "brothers? I share Jesus by raising money for the tsunami" 25:01 "victims. I did jobs around the house and I also sold" 25:05 "cookies. Love, Matthew. I love Jesus.
