00:01 It's almost time for Kids Time, we're gonna
00:03 be late. It's time to share 00:06 there's a world out there, Looking for a 00:09 friend like Jesus. It's time to share there's a 00:14 world out there. Let's tell them that He loves 00:17 us so. Let's tell them that He loves us so. 00:23 Kid's time, kid's time, kid's time, kid's time, kid's time. 00:30 I love stories especially stories with happy 00:32 endings and I like to hear that all the people 00:36 of the story lived happily ever after. 00:38 But, you know boys and girls in real life stories 00:41 are just the beginning, something interesting 00:43 happens and then life goes on and the 00:45 characters in real life stories keep on leaving 00:48 on and facing more challenges. 00:50 There is always more to the story. 00:52 Many people thought that the greatest story 00:55 on earth ended when Jesus died and rose 00:57 again, but that story didn't end there it kept 01:00 going and guess what here in it. 01:02 Today, we are going to hear part of that story, 01:04 we will here about something that 01:06 happened after Jesus died and rose again. 01:08 It's about a couple of people, who tried to 01:11 trick God and that's never a good idea is it. 01:14 I am sorry to say that things didn't turn out 01:16 well for them. This story did not have a 01:19 happy ending, but there is a very important 01:21 lesson to learn, so I hope you will listen 01:23 closely, but first let's get ready for Nature Time. 01:33 Hi, boys and girls welcome to nature time. 01:37 I am here in beautiful Western Montana with 01:39 Ranger Jim and our friend Ann Dall. 01:41 She is the head of the Swan Ecosystem Center 01:43 and we gonna learn something absolutely 01:45 fascinating today about this beautiful tree that is 01:48 behind me this is called ponderosa. 01:51 And incidentally, ponderosa is a very 01:53 special tree because it's Montana state tree. 01:56 Alright, isn't that incredible Ranger Jim. 01:58 That's great. And we are here in beautiful 02:00 Montana, right, its how appropriate to be 02:01 talking about this beautiful tree. 02:04 I would like boys and girls for us to take a sort 02:07 of a look that something that seems unique and 02:09 you might say to yourselves oh Ranger 02:11 Rod is that tree died. Look at that big scar on 02:14 the front of the tree. What could have cause 02:16 that, maybe you boys and girls at home you 02:19 can only see this part of the tree right here, but 02:22 really this tree is very, very tall, well over a 02:25 hundred feet tall won't you say Ann. 02:27 Oh! At least a hundred feet tall I would say, 02:29 at least a hundred feet tall. Ann could you tell 02:32 us why this tree has this big mark right down to 02:34 the middle of it. Well, if people want to guess a 02:37 little bit, we have a lot of forest fires in this 02:39 area when a fire comes through the area it will 02:42 start burning from the ground and a scar from 02:45 the fire would be at the ground level and working up. 02:48 This one starts about this high imagine that 02:52 you are an Indian woman, a woman from 02:54 the Pend d'Oreille tribe or the Salish and 02:56 Kootenai Tribes campaign over here and 02:59 you need to scrape the bark off this huge tree 03:03 because inside the bark in the layer between the 03:07 bark and the center of the tree there is 03:10 cambium, which is sweet. And hundred years ago 03:14 people didn't have candy you couldn't go 03:16 to the store, you couldn't buy sugar. Right. 03:18 So, if you were living out in the woods in 03:21 those days you would be looking for sweet 03:23 treats or maybe there is some additional value 03:26 here or some other uses. Now the people who 03:29 live across the mountains from us the 03:31 Pend d'Oreille, the Salish & Kootenai 03:34 know about the history of their tree and we are 03:37 only interpreting what they are learning they 03:39 have stories that tell about at the use of these 03:41 trees and they are doing a lot of research, so we 03:44 don't pretend to know everything, but we have 03:46 been told some things about the trees. 03:48 How Old Ann would you say that this tree is 03:51 by looking at it how large it is boys and girls 03:52 you can see this is a fairly large tree. 03:54 How old would you say this tree is? 03:56 Well, this tree hasn't been board, so I am not 03:59 sure, but I'm gonna guess it's about 200 04:01 years old. 200 years, so how long it go with the 04:05 Indians have put this scrape on the side of the 04:07 tree in order to get the cambium out of it, so if 04:10 they chew it is as candy or certain like we might 04:13 chew gum sometimes when mommy or daddy 04:15 let's us have a piece of gum about how long 04:18 ago would that have taken place. 04:19 Well, we know that the trees were been peeled 04:22 for a long time in history and tell the 04:25 Indian people were moved on to the 04:27 reservation and they stopped campaigning in 04:29 this area. So, you can look back in the stock 04:31 records and realize that when they no longer 04:35 camped here the peeling stopped. 04:37 Now they peel lots of different trees, it wasn't 04:39 just the ponderosa but the ponderosa live so 04:42 long we still see the scars. Now I understand 04:45 that one of the reasons the ponderosa live so 04:47 long is that it's, it's fairly resistant to fire, 04:51 when forest fire burns through an area like an 04:54 area in like this I notice here boys and girls that 04:56 is fairly open, there are larger trees and when 04:59 the fire would burn up to this tree. 05:02 Is there why wouldn't this tree just burn up in 05:05 a forest fire? Well, you could take a look you 05:06 can tell here from the scar that the bark on a 05:09 ponderosas are at least this thick and so that 05:13 has to be a very hot fire burning slowly to 05:17 actually consume the whole bark. 05:19 And so if the whole bark is not consumed 05:21 then the tree would continue to live. 05:23 Even though because I notice here that there is 05:25 some, some ash or not ash, it would be 05:27 charcoal may be and so that is that evident that 05:30 there has been a fire here in the presence of 05:33 this tree since that it was even peeled. 05:35 You are right, exactly right. Interesting. 05:36 There may, if you able to cut this tree down in 05:39 of course we wouldn't, we might find several 05:40 fire scars on the rings, on the rings, so we look 05:43 at the rings boys and girls you know that 05:45 inside of a tree when you, when you cut it off 05:47 very smooth you can count rings in there and 05:51 so those, those rings that's evident of a year 05:54 per ring. Each ring indicates a year of 05:56 growth and so, you are saying Ann that one of 05:59 those rings might have a little bit of this 06:01 charcoal on it and they would indicate at that 06:04 year there was a forest fire or there is at least a 06:06 grass fire that burn to this area. That's correct, 06:08 interesting. Another, another feature she met 06:10 to probably this tree had been bored or tapped 06:13 that's when you go into this tree with an auger 06:17 hollow and you can bore in that doing don't 06:19 do damage to the tree when you pulled it out 06:21 you have a sample of the history of the tree 06:23 and they can read it. Oh! Go back is it, yes 06:25 this patch is, this match is the one that was up 06:28 on the other side of the mountain there had a 06:31 forest fire back in 1922 that big fire, yeah, there 06:34 it was. Ranger Jim you are waving something 06:36 around here. Okay, where did you find this, 06:37 what is this. Well, I hate being the green horn, 06:39 but I've never been to Montana before. 06:42 In Florida we, we have something we call 06:44 Spanish moss and I saw this, so Ms. Ann what 06:46 in the world is this stuff. Well, we like to call 06:49 that old man's beard. Oh, that fits, okay that 06:52 fits okay, but it is not moss at all its lichen, 06:55 which is different and I won't 06:57 go into that right now. Because that's kind of 06:59 complicate to understand the difference between 07:01 the lichen and moss. But the nice things 07:03 about that is its really important for wild life, 07:06 so especially in the winter the deer and elk 07:09 reach up into the trees and eat this. 07:11 And in fact the Indian people, who lived here 07:14 probably ate it to it is edible and I think they 07:17 cooked it in underground ovens. 07:20 If you put little on your tongue it might taste 07:23 sweet, but mostly it will seem really dry. 07:25 Ms. Ann you mentioned that the deer and the elk 07:28 reach up into the tree and they take this, now 07:31 I noticed that they could possibly reach up in this 07:33 tree so when the wind blows in this, this lichen 07:38 falls to the ground, but they do here right off 07:40 the ground. They, they will search around on 07:41 the ground and they really love it when a 07:43 tree blows over in the wind. It's very interesting. 07:45 And all of that lichen is up there, where they 07:47 can actually reach it. Well, thank you so 07:49 much, hey this is like Africa, that is exiting 07:52 isn't that exciting boys and girls and you boys 07:54 and girls at home isn't that wonderful our God 07:56 has put into play a way to take care of the 08:00 animals they live in this part of Montana over 08:02 here, lots of deep snow, there is a way that they 08:04 can feed even during the middle of the 08:05 wintertime when they can't dig down to the 08:07 grass they have this lichen they falls on a 08:10 ground for them on windstorm or may be a 08:11 tree falls down. God is so good, well that's all 08:14 the time we have today boys and girls, but until 08:17 next time this is Ranger Rod and Ranger Jim 08:20 saying let's all enjoy God's great outdoors. 08:34 What can wash away my sin? 08:37 Nothing but the blood of Jesus; 08:41 What can make me whole again? 08:45 Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 08:49 Oh! Precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; 08:57 No other fount I know, Nothing but the 09:01 blood of Jesus. For my pardon, this I see, 09:08 Nothing but the blood of Jesus; 09:12 For my cleansing this my plea, 09:16 Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 09:19 Oh! Precious is the flow That makes me white as snow; 09:28 No other fount I know, Nothing but the 09:32 the blood of Jesus. Oh! Precious is the flow 09:39 That makes me white as snow; No other fount I know, 09:47 Nothing but the blood of Jesus. 10:02 Welcome to learning time. Hey I'm glad that 10:04 you are here today, we are going to do an 10:06 experiment with water, water is a very 10:08 interesting thing. Well, you know we have 10:10 got three helpers let me introduce you to 10:12 our helpers today. In fact I have got 10:14 Christopher over here, now Christopher what 10:17 do you like to do best about water. 10:19 I like to swim, swim in water, oh, that's cool, 10:22 we don't have enough water for you to swim today. 10:24 No, I don't think so. But, hey and we've got 10:26 Steven over here. Steven what do you like 10:29 to do about water in water. Drink it, drink it you know 10:32 drinking water is very important isn't it. 10:34 You know I don't know about you, but today we 10:36 will have something very special because we 10:38 have some twins' right here. Can you, can you think 10:41 who might be twins in here. Oh! I have got Christopher 10:45 and I have got Steven, and they happen to be 10:46 fraternal twins. This is the first time that we've 10:49 ever had that, we have had identical twins, 10:51 but we haven't had fraternal twins. 10:53 So, can we give them a hand to be the first? 10:56 You are very first and thanks 10:58 for being a part of us. We are glad that you 11:00 came here and we have got Ashley. 11:01 Ashley thanks for being here. You know what do you 11:04 like to do best about water. Swimming, swim in the 11:08 water, swimming is really important isn't it. 11:10 Hey, why don't you come on up here, let's 11:11 do an experiment with water. This is an exciting 11:14 experiment come on right in here. 11:16 Now, we have an aquarium, you can do 11:17 lots of things with aquariums right. 11:19 Right. Yeah we can swim in it if we are 11:21 little smaller or you know if we go to one of 11:23 those big amusement not amusement parks, 11:25 but museums you can swim with a big 11:28 aquariums, where you know the animals swim 11:32 more like fish, how about sharks. 11:34 No, I don't think I wanna, oh, some sharks 11:36 you can swim until you don't have a problem. 11:37 But, water is very interesting because 11:39 when it is a liquid, we can do anything with it, 11:41 it doesn't have a shape all of it's own, but what 11:44 happens when we freeze it, what happens 11:46 ice when we freeze it, it turns into ice, ice. 11:49 It takes the shape of the container that we put it in. 11:51 Hey, let's do an experiment with this okay. 11:53 I will tell you, let's do why don't you grab hold 11:55 that block of ice. We are gonna see if ice 11:57 floats or sink what do you think it does. 11:59 Floats, okay, we will put it there gently okay 12:02 and let's check this out and see what happens 12:04 right over here. Well, is it floating or sinking? 12:06 Floating, it's floating, you know it becomes an 12:10 ice cube or it becomes an iceberg if it happens 12:13 to be on a large body or water. 12:15 Now, if we were in a boat and we were just 12:17 right here in around the top of the water the 12:19 boats just scream and right towards this iceberg. 12:22 All that we would see would be the what? 12:23 The top of it, right. And it doesn't look like 12:27 its very big right, but if you are fish or you if 12:30 you look underneath the water what would you see. 12:32 This big blast of ice, a whole lot of it, that's 12:35 right about 90 percent of an iceberg is underwater. 12:39 Now, that presents a real problem for boats 12:41 and ships doesn't it? We even had ships like the 12:44 famous Titanic, Titanic you know the story. 12:48 Its, it hit an iceberg a huge iceberg; it tore the 12:51 ship apart very, very dangerous. 12:54 Well, you know when God made ice while 12:57 when he made water he said you know what 12:58 water you are gonna be very special, you are 13:00 gonna do something that hardly any other 13:02 liquids do. When you get cold enough to 13:04 freeze, I want you to float and so I thought 13:07 that they will not be cool to be able to do 13:09 something that hardly anything 13:11 else does as a liquid. So, when Ice freezes 13:13 it gets bigger, the crystalline structure 13:16 expands and it takes up more room and so it 13:19 floats, that's a really good idea because you 13:22 know what would happen. The surface of the water 13:24 would get cold like in the winter time and it 13:26 would turn into an ice, right ice and then it 13:29 would sink and then more of the surface 13:31 would freeze and sink pretty soon you would 13:33 have a solid column of ice. What would happen to 13:36 all the fish and all the animals? 13:37 They will die. They will die. They wouldn't to be 13:39 able to survive; well you know God knew all 13:42 about that. That's why he created ice or water 13:46 rather in a very special way when it gets cold 13:48 isn't that unique. Yeah. Oh yeah! Because we 13:52 have a great unique creator God and 13:54 remember boys and girls every time we study 13:57 about science we learn more about our creator God. 14:09 These are such exciting times we are living in, 14:11 yes they are and fearful too. 14:19 Is he gone? He is gone. Oh! I thought it was 14:22 allover when Jesus died. Oh! Yeh. But we have 14:26 baptized over 5000 people since he, since 14:30 he was crucified. 5000, yes, oh my, the Lord is 14:35 just working in such mighty ways. 14:38 You know the other day I saw people bringing 14:40 sick people and just laying them in the streets. 14:43 So, then when peter walked by his shadow 14:46 would be cast on them and they were healed. 14:48 Oh! That's so exciting. I've heard about the 14:50 miracles and I am so excited about what is 14:54 happening in our world today, we are going to 14:57 have a meeting at my house tonight would 14:59 you like to come? Sure, I would like to come. 15:02 Be sure that no one follows you alright its 15:05 very important. No one, make sure. Okay, I am 15:10 going to go I have more shopping to do. 15:12 I need to get on my way, but I will see you 15:14 tonight. Alright, remember no one 15:16 follows you. Okay, tonight. Strategy and 15:21 am sure. Excuse me, yes I am looking for a 15:26 piece of pottery and I need something just 15:29 right about so big and about so big around. 15:32 Just go ahead and look around and we have our 15:34 servant there will help, thank you, 15:36 your welcome. What is wrong with you, 15:40 you haven't listen to one word I have said you 15:44 just like in your own world and in your own 15:45 thoughts why even a customer came up and 15:47 you didn't even turn your head to notice her. 15:50 Husband this is not like you, I am sorry there is, 15:54 there is just and such horrible things that have 15:56 happen today. Well, what can be so horrible 15:59 that your mind wouldn't be on business it always 16:01 is on business. No, this is really bad. 16:04 Well, what could be really bad. 16:07 Well, you know Ananias and Sapphira. 16:09 Well of course Sapphira is one of my good friends. 16:13 I know remember the land that they had they 16:16 were going to sell. Oh! Yes, yes she told me 16:18 they had some land they gonna sell 16:20 get to the apostles. Yeah, well that was the problem. 16:24 Well, why would that be a problem because 16:26 when they sold that they got far more then 16:28 they thought they were going to get. 16:29 Oh! Praise the Lord, but they decided to keep 16:33 that portion for themselves. Oh, and just give 16:37 part of it to God. Are you telling me that the 16:39 part they promised all of the land and all the 16:42 money and now they were gonna keep part of 16:44 it to themselves. Yes, that's what I am telling you. 16:47 Oh! I got to go talk to Sapphira. 16:49 No, no, she cannot do this. You can't go, you have 16:51 to listen to me. Ananias went to see Peter 16:56 to bring the money, well of course, and talk 16:58 to him, okay, and he said here is the money 17:01 from the land. And did he tell him that he had 17:03 some extra. No, no, because Peter asked 17:06 him if that was all that he had got and he said 17:09 yes it is. And Peter said Ananias you haven't 17:15 lied to me, you lie to the Holy Spirit, that's a 17:19 serious offense. And then Peter said Ananias 17:25 it was your land, it belong to you, 17:28 you could do what you want it with it, 17:29 of course, but you gave it to God. He promised, 17:31 yes he did, and the money you got it was 17:35 yours too, but you promised that to God. 17:37 Exactly, you are not lying to me Ananias 17:40 you are lying to God. Oh! This is so serious. 17:44 And he gets worse. How can it get any 17:46 worse that's a terrible thing to do, at the very 17:49 moment Ananias fell down at the feet of 17:51 Peter and he died. Oh! No, I've got to go to 17:54 Sapphira right now, no, no, I could know you 17:56 don't understand she is my friend. 17:57 No, no just wait, I have to go, wait, 17:58 wait, let me finish. The man they picked up 18:02 Ananias and they carried him out to the 18:04 cemetery and they buried him that very 18:06 day, that very moment. I had to go and be with 18:10 Sapphira. This is what is so hard to tell you 18:14 because three hours later Sapphira didn't 18:17 know what it happened to Ananias she didn't know. 18:20 So certainly she would have gone in sad, this is 18:22 the extra money that we have I know she got it, 18:25 she loves the Lord. That's not what she did. 18:28 She went to see Peter and when she got there 18:33 she lays the money got and Peter asked her too 18:37 if this is what the land sold. Did she told the truth 18:39 just tell me she told the truth. 18:41 No, she didn't she didn't tell the truth. 18:43 She said yes that's what we sold the land for. 18:47 And she didn't know Ananias was gone and 18:49 she was looking for him. She lied. Yes. 18:52 And Peter said you haven't lied to me, 18:56 you have lie to God. Oh! And this is where 19:02 it's breaking my heart for you because Peter 19:05 said the man that carried Ananias after 19:08 buried him they are waiting for you. 19:11 Oh no, yes. And she fell down at Peter foot and 19:15 she died right there on the spot. 19:19 And this men, this men they took her out to the 19:22 cemetery and they buried her to the God. 19:25 Sapphira has gone. They have gone just for 19:27 money, just for money. Why did she lie to the 19:30 Holy Spirit? They love the church like we love 19:32 the church we have been Christians for long. 19:35 Oh! That God is faithful, he will take 19:38 care of his own, but we can't lie to God, 19:40 but she wanted the money more then she 19:43 wanted to serve God. Oh! And she is gone. 19:47 And I have been thinking about our shop 19:50 in about all the things we have and I am just 19:53 wondering you know this is worth it. 19:55 It's not worth it. Husband, we have got 19:57 to go together, we have got to take this money 20:00 right now, I know, we have got to take it to 20:02 apostles right now, we will not lie we have, 20:06 we have talked about giving this money, 20:08 let us promise together that they were gonna 20:11 give it, oh, I will go. But, let's promise from 20:13 this day forth to Peter and to all the Church 20:16 that we will give half of everything we sell to 20:19 the new church that they can grow in prosperous. 20:21 Exactly, exactly we've gone through a painful 20:24 lesson today, but this is a lesson that the whole 20:28 church needs to learn that, that we can't be 20:30 dishonest with God everything belongs to 20:32 God and let's give this to him. 20:34 That's exactly right, we are gonna make sure 20:37 that they get every single coin, make sure 20:41 you give it all, don't hold back, turn the 20:44 purse upside down, make sure every coin is 20:46 comes out of there. Go husband hurry, oh God. 20:52 Please keep us always faithful to you always 20:58 you are the only true God and we want to 20:59 honor you on everything mean to you. 21:02 Oh, may be you will be praised. 22:02 Hi, boys and girls, it's time for Ms. Brenda's 22:04 Book of the Day and today's book is called 22:08 Hannah's Girls this one is on Grace and it's 22:12 True Stories of God's Leading in Six Generations 22:14 of Adventist Girls and this one is written by 22:16 Ruth Merkel, a wonderful book. 22:19 Well, today we are going meet a very 22:22 special girl that is no stranger for Kids Time. 22:24 I wanna to welcome Evana. Thank you Evana for 22:27 being with us today and it is not your first time 22:30 on Kids time is it? No, no, what do you do to 22:34 share Jesus? Because I ask you to come here 22:35 because I know that you really, really have a 22:39 passion for Jesus and what is done in your 22:40 own life. What do you do? I sing for the Lord 22:45 and you sing for the Lord. And, what, why do you 22:48 sing for the Lord? I guess is what I really 22:49 wanna ask you? I sing for the Lord because 22:52 when I was three and a half I had cancer, 22:55 rhabdomyosarcoma, it was a tumor on my 22:58 behind my left eye pushing it out. 23:01 So, I didn't have any vision on my left eye, 23:03 so we moved to Houston and I had 23:06 surgery for one year and because of that 23:11 I couldn't breathe through my nose. 23:14 So, I always breathe through my mouth, 23:16 which need my voice. Now, I sing for the Lord. 23:21 Because it was probably very difficult before 23:24 you had the surgery to sing at all and you 23:26 know God gave your voice don't you. 23:29 In fact, you have the beautiful voice. 23:31 Boys and girls, I am sure you have seen her 23:33 on Kids Time and right now I would like to 23:36 share a song that she recorded earlier with us 23:39 and I had the privilege of playing 23:42 the piano for her. His sheep am I. 23:50 In God's green pastures feeding 23:52 by His cool waters lie; Soft in the evening 23:57 walk my Lord and I, All the sheep of His pasture 24:03 fare so wondrously fine; His sheep am I. 24:11 Waters cool, pastures green, 24:16 In the evening Walk my Lord and I 24:20 Dark the night, rough the way, 24:25 Step by step, my Lord and I. 24:35 Oh! Evana that was so beautiful. 24:37 I am just so thankful for everything God has 24:40 done for me. Well, I am thankful for everything 24:42 he has done to you, God has certainly blessed you. 24:44 Let's read a couple of letters okay. 24:46 I just love reading all your letters boys and girls. 24:50 I have one here that from Brittney in 24:54 Rogersville, Missouri.
