00:01 It's almost time for Kids' Time.
00:03 We're gonna be late.
00:04 It's time to share there's a world out there
00:08 Looking for a friend like Jesus
00:12 It's time to share there's a world out there
00:16 Let's tell them that He loves us so
00:20 Let's tell them that He loves us so
00:24 Kids' Time, Kids' Time, Kids' Time, Kids' Time
00:31 Hi, boys and girls, my favorite part of
00:33 each program is the Bible stories.
00:36 I like seeing the Bible,
00:37 it just come to life right before my eyes.
00:40 Today we'll see a story about a man who got caught
00:43 doing something he was not supposed to do.
00:46 He probably didn't think anyone was watching,
00:48 I mean, it was just a man and his donkey
00:51 right, who would ever know?
00:53 Now let me ask you, boys and girls,
00:55 is there ever a time when we're truly alone
00:57 and no one is watching, of course not.
01:00 Our angels are always with us and the Bible says that
01:04 God's eyes see everything that goes on everywhere.
01:08 The funny thing is God did something really strange
01:11 to get this man's attention.
01:13 But the man was so sad on doing a bad thing
01:15 that he didn't even notice.
01:18 Now I'm sure the man had no idea that he'd go down
01:21 in history for thousands of years for beings so foolish.
01:25 We'll hear the whole story in just the few minutes.
01:27 But first let's see what Ranger Dwight has
01:30 to show us on "Nature Time."
01:38 Hey, boys and girls, it's "Nature Time"
01:40 and I'm so excited today.
01:42 We're in beautiful Grayling, Michigan
01:44 at Camp Au Sable and man this is a great camp.
01:48 We got some special guests, Michael and Jason,
01:51 they're Miss Brenda's grandsons,
01:52 how are you kids doing? Great.
01:54 I see you got some rocks and that's exactly
01:57 what we're gonna talk about today.
01:58 And Mr. Morgan, you're the rock expert.
02:02 Well, I wanna welcome you to here
02:03 to the nature center, we have rocks and minerals
02:05 in this room from all over the world.
02:07 You know what, I came in here and I expected to see
02:10 animals and a couple of rocks.
02:11 There are so many rocks, I've never seen so many rocks.
02:14 In fact there is the table that I was looking at,
02:16 that the light shines though and they've got rocks
02:18 just like you've got Jason
02:19 and you've got Michael around this side.
02:21 It is the neatest thing and, Jason,
02:24 you were telling me a little bit before
02:26 that you actually crushed a rock,
02:28 is that true? Yeah.
02:30 How did you do it with, a pillow?
02:32 With another rock. With another rock
02:34 because you can't crush a rock with a pillow,
02:36 it's got to be something hard.
02:38 So today we're gonna talk about
02:40 a special type of rock, it's called a Crystal.
02:42 And we've got a huge one here, I've never seen one this big,
02:46 so this is a crystal right here.
02:48 So tell us about this, Mr. organ?
02:50 This is a crystal of quartz.
02:52 And quartz is probably the most common mineral
02:55 that there is, if you were to go down of the beach,
02:57 you pick up a little handful of sand
02:58 and you look very closely you're gonna find
03:00 a lots of little pieces of quartz.
03:03 So much of the sand is little pieces of quartz.
03:05 But this is a, you wouldn't wanna step on this
03:07 with your bare feet. No.
03:09 Now, I've another question,
03:10 I can almost see through this thing
03:12 but it looks like it was a real specialized machine
03:15 to shave this, just like it this, is that how that,
03:18 how they did that with the machine?
03:19 Well, it certainly looks that way
03:21 but really this is how God created
03:23 this particular type of mineral crystal.
03:26 And God arranged the atoms which are the little tiny pieces
03:30 that makeup everything into this nice
03:32 flat surfaces that we see all the way around.
03:35 So no machine, this is all by God and nature?
03:38 And that's right, when God created quartz
03:40 back in the Garden of Eden you could walk down the path
03:43 and you could pick up little tiny pieces of these crystals,
03:46 hold them in your hands and enjoy them.
03:47 Man, I can't wait to get into heaven,
03:49 because I bet you'll see all kinds of rocks
03:51 even better than this.
03:53 You known, there is another rock,
03:54 in fact this is a set of quartz rocks
03:57 right here, and this is, you said
03:59 this might have been found in Arkansas.
04:01 I believe it were. Lots of those
04:02 just together, right? That's right.
04:05 Now this right here, now this kids,
04:09 if you was hiking down the trail and you saw this,
04:13 will you pick it up, Michael?
04:15 No. Why?
04:16 Because it's ugly. It's ugly isn't it?
04:19 You think that's ugly, Jason, isn't that ugly?
04:21 But you know what, I wouldn't even
04:23 want to step on the thing to waste my time,
04:25 but look what happens on the inside.
04:27 Isn't that pretty? Yeah.
04:29 And that's purple and so now, Mr. organ, what,
04:32 this is quartz too, right only different color?
04:34 This is, instead of calling it purple quartz,
04:37 we called this amethyst. Wow!
04:39 And this is part of a geode.
04:41 And geodes are found out in nature,
04:43 we're not quite sure how they were created,
04:45 probably back during the time of the flood,
04:48 but you break them open and many times,
04:49 you find beautiful crystal formations on the inside.
04:53 And as I said, amethyst is just another type of
04:57 the quartz that we saw.
04:58 And it's purple but you know what,
04:59 there's a spiritual lesson in this, kids,
05:01 a great spiritual lesson and that is what?
05:05 Well, you know, many times we judge people
05:07 by what we see on the outside and that's not very good
05:10 because as we know this doesn't look
05:12 very, very good on the outside
05:14 but when you look in the inside it's beautiful.
05:16 And I'm glad that that's how God judges
05:19 each one of us, He looks on our heart.
05:21 And when we have Jesus living in our heart,
05:23 then we become a thing of beauty
05:25 just like this, this amethyst geode.
05:28 You know, kids, every one of us might look like this,
05:33 we all see ourselves like this
05:34 but you know what, Jesus sees us not like this,
05:38 Jesus sees us like this, isn't that neat?
05:42 And you know what, even though
05:43 other people might make fun of you.
05:45 As you are in school and going though your life
05:48 and have challenges maybe they say you're ugly
05:51 or you know, they don't wanna be your friend.
05:53 But you know what, it's not the case
05:55 with Jesus, is it, Michael.
05:57 Jesus always sees this right here
06:00 and I want you to always know
06:02 that Jesus loves you very, very much
06:05 and with his love you never can look like this,
06:10 you'll only look like this.
06:13 Remember kids, nature is God's second book,
06:16 so get out there and take a look.
06:25 [music]
08:25 Welcome to "Learning Time.
08:26 "I'm glad you joined us today,
08:28 today you're gonna see something
08:30 that you just won't believe.
08:32 And you know, I've got a couple of helpers.
08:34 First of all, I want to introduce Rachael,
08:37 now Rachael, what is your favorite thing
08:40 that you like to do? Play soccer.
08:43 Play soccer, is that how you hurt your toe?
08:45 No. No.
08:46 Because you wear shoes for that don't you?
08:49 Yeah, well, hey, I'm glad that you're gonna help us
08:51 and we're gonna have some more helpers too.
08:53 And we have Noah over here, now Noah,
08:55 do you have a favorite animal
08:57 that you like to have in heaven?
08:59 Monkeys. A monkey, why a monkey?
09:02 Because monkeys are cool. They are cool aren't they?
09:04 And you know, we're gonna need more helpers
09:06 than just that, and we'll call them up in just a minute.
09:09 But I've got some weights up here,
09:11 hey, why don't you two come on up here, okay.
09:13 And why don't you stand over here,
09:15 we got a big weight, this is an Olympic weight
09:17 and how much does that weigh?
09:18 Can you see what that says?
09:20 Forty five pounds. Forty five pounds,
09:21 it's probably a little, little bit more than
09:24 what you guys weigh, but you know what?
09:26 You think you can lift that up with your tongue?
09:28 No. No, you think
09:29 they could lift it up with their tongue? No.
09:32 Well, today we're gonna see if we can lift
09:35 two of this 45 pound weights,
09:38 Olympic weights by using our breath.
09:41 Blow out for me, here we go.
09:45 Do you think that you have enough energy
09:47 in your lungs to lift ninety pounds? No.
09:51 Well we're gonna find out and I need
09:53 the rest of our helpers, if you'd come up
09:55 and form around the table
09:57 go on over there and get your place,
09:59 because we're gonna -- oh, wait, wait,
10:00 before we do that, we're gonna have to set it up.
10:02 We're gonna set another table on this table right here.
10:05 And then we're gonna have our two strong gentleman
10:07 we've got Dave and Angel and they're gonna put
10:10 the two 245 pound weights on top of the table.
10:14 Okay, so, they're they go everything is all wind up.
10:17 While they're doing that I'm gonna show
10:18 you what we're gonna use.
10:20 We're gonna use a quart size baggy with a straw on it.
10:24 And each one of our helpers are going to
10:27 take the end of this straw when we say,
10:29 we're gonna have a countdown three, two, one,
10:32 and they're gonna start blowing into their straw.
10:34 Okay, get your places, let's go guys get your places.
10:38 And they're gonna start blowing,
10:39 but we're gonna give them a countdown, three, two, one,
10:41 do you think they can lift that with their breath?
10:44 Yeah. Should be fun to see.
10:49 Now when you start blowing into that bag,
10:53 I want you to the keep blowing,
10:54 you can take a breath, right,
10:55 and then keep blowing, if you need to take a breath,
10:58 take a breath but keep blowing.
10:59 We're gonna see if those weights are going to jump,
11:01 they're not gonna jump off the table
11:03 that would be bad news.
11:04 But they should lift right up because if,
11:07 watch what happens when I blow
11:08 into my bag, here we go.
11:13 Did the bag get bigger? Yeah.
11:15 And so the table ought to lift up about
11:17 that much and the weights ought to take off,
11:19 will not take off but they're gonna go up into the air.
11:22 Are you ready guys? Yes.
11:24 Okay, get your mouth on your straw
11:27 and why don't you help me
11:29 give them our countdown three, two, one?
11:31 Are you ready? Let's go.
11:33 Three, and two, and one and blow, blow, blow, blow,
11:38 keep blowing, keep blowing,
11:39 is it looking up, don't hang on to the table,
11:42 don't hang on to the table, keep blowing,
11:44 keep blowing, don't hang on to the table,
11:46 there we go keep blowing.
11:47 Did it go up in the air? Yeah.
11:50 Ninety pounds, can you believe that?
11:52 Okay, rest guys, rest, take a breath,
11:54 okay, and take a breath.
11:56 I'm out of breath just trying to
11:57 watch them do it, did you think
11:59 that you could do this? Yeah.
12:03 It seems rather impossible would you like to see them
12:05 do it one more time? Yeah.
12:07 All right, get to your stations everybody,
12:10 get your mouth on this straw right here.
12:12 Let's give them a countdown.
12:13 He needs a little bit of room,
12:14 can you move around little bit,
12:16 can you come in, come in, come in?
12:19 Let's give them a countdown, here we go,
12:21 three, two, one, and give it a nice blow,
12:25 give it a nice blow and it goes up in the air again.
12:29 Wow, and you can keep blowing until you pass out, okay?
12:35 Okay, give it a nice rest, but you know,
12:37 that's very interesting, because our breath
12:40 is really, really strong.
12:42 But you know, if I try, if I ask anyone of you,
12:45 if you could take and blow up ninety pounds
12:48 with your mouth just by blowing,
12:50 could you think you could have done it?
12:52 No. No, but you know what,
12:53 it took team work didn't it?
12:55 We have all these people doing the same thing
12:58 and there is power when we get together with people
13:01 that reminds me, you know, when Jesus was on the earth,
13:04 He had, how many, how many of His friends around him?
13:07 He had those 12 chosen people and they turned the
13:11 world upside down for Christ,
13:13 there is power in numbers especially
13:15 where when we're with Jesus.
13:17 And you know when we learn more about science
13:19 we learned more about our Creator, God.
13:32 King Balak, look at all those Israelites out there
13:34 what do we're gonna do, look at them all.
13:36 Yeah, King, all those Israelites have to go.
13:39 I know they are right along our border.
13:42 All the people of Moab are afraid.
13:45 I don't know what to do?
13:46 Their God can split the red sea with His hand.
13:50 If we go against them with
13:51 the military we'll loose, we'll be defeated.
13:54 We need Balaam to curse them.
13:56 Prophet Balaam, we've already been there,
13:58 he's not gonna come.
13:59 Well, King Balak, what can we do
14:01 to get Balaam to come here?
14:03 I know, we tried to give money before.
14:06 But this time, we're gonna really
14:09 give him some money. Yeah.
14:11 I want you to empty all the treasuries,
14:12 I want you to give him the
14:13 biggest pile of money he's ever seen.
14:15 He will not be able to resist it.
14:16 No. No.
14:17 He won't be able to resist it, that will get him.
14:19 All right, go, do it.
14:25 Well, come in, come in.
14:26 Well have a seat, have a seat, sit down.
14:29 We're ambassadors from King Balak.
14:30 From the land of Moab. I know who you are.
14:34 You've been here before, I told you my God told me,
14:37 I can't go with you.
14:38 But, but, we've been sent with a special request
14:40 from King Balak, it's a simple request
14:43 to curse the Israelites.
14:44 Well, I cannot curse the Israelites, in fact,
14:46 if your king gave me all the gold in treasury you have.
14:49 We thought you'd say that.
14:50 Well our king has sent some many gifts and treasures,
14:53 look at this, prophet Balaam, look at all this gold.
14:59 Sure, you can be a rich man.
15:01 And if that's not enough to entice you.
15:02 Look at this. Oh, oh, Wow.
15:06 Look at this, all this. Oh, my God.
15:10 Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, so all this is mine.
15:12 Ah, no, no, no, once you curse the Israelites.
15:16 Once you curse the Israelites.
15:17 Hold on, sit down, sit down, sit down,
15:21 stay the night, just stay the night.
15:23 And I will talk with my God
15:25 and maybe he'll change his mind.
15:29 Okay, that's it for now.
15:38 The jewels are gone, they're gone,
15:40 they've left, I got to get to talk to them,
15:43 got to get to talk to them, catch up with them.
15:48 Why do you keep stopping, don't you know
15:50 we have places to go and people to see.
15:54 You're as stubborn as well a donkey.
16:02 What have I done to you that you straped these
16:05 three times, because you've abused me,
16:08 you've abused me, if I had a sword
16:11 I would kill you with it.
16:13 Am I not your donkey which you
16:15 have ridden ever since this day,
16:18 was I ever disobedient to you. No.
16:24 I have come to stand against you
16:25 because you have turned away from the Lord,
16:28 if your donkey had not seen me in the road
16:30 surely I would have killed you.
16:34 I have sinned, I have sinned,
16:37 if I knew that you stood in the way,
16:40 if it pleases you I will go back, I will go back.
16:45 You may go with the men, but you may only speak
16:49 the words that I give you.
16:51 Yes, I will, I will do what you say, I will.
17:04 No one, no one could go against God.
17:08 No one.
17:25 Since I started for the Kingdom
17:32 Since my life He controls
17:39 Since I gave my heart to Jesus
17:47 The longer I serve Him The sweeter He grows
17:54 The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows
18:02 The more I love Him, more love He bestows
18:09 Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows
18:17 The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows
18:52 The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows
19:00 The more I love Him, more love He bestows
19:07 Each day is like heaven, my heart overflows
19:14 The longer I serve Him, the sweeter He grows.
19:33 Hi, boys and girls, it's time for
19:35 Miss Brenda's "Book of the Day."
19:38 And today's book is called
19:39 "Dick the Babysitting Bear" and it's by my good friend
19:43 Joe Wheeler and this is an exciting book.
19:47 I love to read about bears too, don't you?
19:49 You're gonna like this book, boys and girls.
19:51 Well, I want to introduce a couple of
19:53 really special guests today.
19:55 I want you to meet Andrew and his sister, Gabriel.
19:58 Thank you guys for being on the program
20:00 with Miss Brenda and I understand
20:02 that you love to share Jesus,
20:04 is that right? Yes.
20:05 In fact, both of you are a part of a home schooling
20:08 group that, that's what you do as you get together
20:11 and you do things to share Jesus.
20:12 But you try to take advantage of sharing Jesus
20:15 everywhere you go and I loved a story
20:17 you told me about when your mom
20:20 was going to different garage sales and doing
20:22 some garage sale shopping, tell me what happened?
20:25 Well, she was doing the garage sale shopping
20:28 like you just said and go.
20:30 And I was, I saw a baby,
20:35 since I like babies or I like baby.
20:38 And I had a need, I saw the baby
20:43 I went over and kneeled to it and started praying for it.
20:47 And you start praying for the baby.
20:49 Now, Andrew, now your name is Andrew and you're Gabriel.
20:52 Andrew, what did, what make you decide
20:54 to start praying for the baby?
20:57 Because I saw this girl, you know, Jesus in the,
21:01 since our children are our future
21:05 we should pray for them,
21:07 so we have a better future than we have now.
21:10 That's right, if we get to know,
21:11 Jesus that is only way, isn't it?
21:13 Yeah, it's the only way you can know Him.
21:15 And did the, did the baby's mother say anything
21:17 to you about praying for her baby?
21:19 No, in fact, I didn't even see her mother anywhere.
21:22 So the baby was just there by itself and--
21:25 Yeah, I guess, the mother wasn't inside,
21:27 I guess and the dad too.
21:29 Oh, wow, so you just said a nice prayer for the baby.
21:32 Well, that was a nice thing
21:33 to do wasn't it, boys and girl?
21:34 And Gabriel, what do you, you had an experience
21:38 around recently where you share Jesus,
21:40 tell me what you did, were you playing
21:41 in a park one day and what happened?
21:44 I found a boy that had his knee and, he's wounded,
21:48 he's mother wouldn't mind.
21:50 So I asked my grandma and she didn't have
21:53 a band-aid and I asked my nanny, and she had one.
21:56 So there was a little play,
21:57 a little boy there that had,
21:59 that had hurt his knee and was bleeding.
22:01 And nobody was fixing, so did you went around
22:03 looking for band-aids and your,
22:05 and your grandma had one.
22:06 And then what did you do?
22:08 I put it in his knee and I asked
22:10 if he wanted some water and he said, no, but thanks.
22:13 But thanks, how did that make you feel when you,
22:16 you helped somebody else?
22:18 Good. It makes you feel good, doesn't it?
22:20 Miss Brenda's a nurse did you know that?
22:22 And I helped lots of boys and girls when they,
22:24 put bandage on their knees and it makes Miss Brenda
22:27 feel good when I can help somebody else too.
22:29 And that's the way it is boys and girls.
22:30 When we help someone else, it makes us feel good too
22:33 and it makes Jesus really happy.
22:35 Well, I want to read some letters, boys and girls.
22:37 I love getting the letters from you.
22:40 And let's see, I have one from Australia right here,
22:44 and let's see what this letter says.
22:48 It's, it's kind of a thick envelop here and let's see.
22:53 And it's Kids' Time from Australia
22:55 and they've sent me a card,
22:56 they've sent me all kinds of little cards in here.
22:59 In fact, I'll let you hold one of those up for me
23:01 each of you and you want to hold one up, Gabriel?
23:04 There's quite a few of them in there and it said
23:06 to Miss Brenda from Kay Marie,
23:09 so Kay Marie, I guess it is.
23:11 It said, "Can I please have Bible lessons
23:14 for me and my neighbors."
