Would you like a shower? 08:14 No. Are you sure? 08:17 Well, no, we're not going to give you a shower, 08:19 but what we're going to do 08:21 is we're going to try to get some rain drops. 08:23 From right behind me, the Sun is right behind me. 08:25 That's very important, you have to have the Sun 08:27 right behind you, and I'm going to use this shower rainbow... 08:31 It's really not a rainbow, but that's a rainbow color, 08:33 and we're going to spread some color right over here. 08:36 I want you to tell me can you see the rainbow. 08:39 No. She can't see the rainbow. 08:41 Can you see the rainbow? 08:43 You can see it? Mm-hm. 08:44 She can see it! 08:45 Wow. 08:47 Now I'll tell you what? 08:48 Do you want to see it? Sure. 08:49 Come over here by me. 08:51 You want to see it? Mm-hm. 08:52 Come on over here by us, 08:53 and let's see if we can... 08:55 Can you see the rainbow now? Yes, I can. 08:56 Can you see the rainbow now? Yes. 08:58 Can you see the rainbow? 08:59 No. No? 09:00 Some of you... 09:02 Hey, move back behind us over here and see, come on, 09:03 so you can see it too. 09:04 But you have to be at the right angle, 09:06 the Sun has to be at your back, 09:09 and then you have to have some kind of a spray. 09:11 And this spray is really, really important 09:13 because each one of those little, 09:15 tiny water drops acts as a prism, 09:18 and it breaks up the light from the Sun. 09:20 The Sun is being refracted by those little droplets, 09:24 and it causes us to see 09:25 all of the colors of the rainbow. 09:27 You know, the sunlight, the white sunlight, 09:29 the yellow sunlight, it's actually white, 09:31 but it has all of those colors in it, 09:33 but you and I can't see it unless we refract it 09:36 and break it up. 09:37 Now there was a guy that lived a long time ago? 09:40 His name was Sir Isaac... 09:41 Newton. Newton. 09:42 You've heard about him, haven't you? 09:44 And what he did was he took some white light from the Sun 09:47 and he shone it, put it right through a prism, 09:50 and it broke it up into the rainbow colors. 09:52 And that was an awe kind of a time. 09:54 And then he said, "You know what? 09:55 Maybe we could take all of those colors 09:57 and focus them back through the prism." 09:59 And what do you suppose he got? 10:01 White light. Isn't that cool? 10:03 So all of our colors of our rainbow come from the... 10:07 Sun. The Sun. 10:08 You know what the sun reminds me 10:09 of because of that rainbow? 10:11 When was the first rainbow ever? 10:13 Noah, it was in the ark. 10:15 And that was God's covenant to his people. 10:17 The first covenant or the first promise 10:20 that God had for us, and it was in the form of a rainbow. 10:24 And you know what, when God gives us a promise, 10:27 can we trust His promise? 10:29 Oh, yeah, His promise, 10:30 we can always trust God's promises 10:32 because they always come... 10:34 True. They always come true. 10:36 And, you know, every time we learn more about science, 10:39 we learn more about our Creator, God. 10:58 I can't seem to find this piece I'm looking for. 11:02 Whoa, that's pretty good. 11:05 It's our church. 11:06 See, here's the window, here's the door, 11:08 and it even has a cool bell. 11:11 Well, what I'm building is going 11:13 to be even better. 11:14 I'm making the International Tower of Awesome. 11:20 Though I might need to use some of your bricks 11:22 from your church though. 11:25 Careful now, I know a story about some people 11:28 who built a tower out of pride 11:30 that didn't exactly go the way they planned. 11:34 What do you mean, Miss Brenda? 11:35 They probably ran out of money, bricks are expensive. 11:39 No, money wasn't the problem. 11:42 Why don't you two take a break from your Legos? 11:44 And would you like to hear a story? 11:46 Yeah. 11:48 Well, I have a story about a massive tower 11:49 from a long time ago. 11:51 After the Great Flood, the descendants of Noah settled 11:54 near the mountains that had provided the ark 11:56 with safety during its long journey. 11:59 Over time, the world was repopulated. 12:02 Many chose to follow a righteous path, 12:05 they gave thanks to their Creator 12:07 and lived their lives as He intended. 12:10 There were also those that chose to ignore 12:13 the will of God, they quickly forgot 12:15 the deliverance of the Great Flood. 12:18 Those who stayed true to their Lord tried to convince 12:21 the others to repent and ask for forgiveness, 12:24 but this only resulted in terrible arguments. 12:28 Finally, wishing to distance themselves from those 12:31 who had remained faithful, 12:33 they separated in hopes of finding 12:35 a place of their own. 12:37 Eventually, they made a new home 12:39 near the banks of the River Euphrates. 12:41 It was a beautiful place with much to offer. 12:45 Full of pride and encouraged by the rebellious spirit, 12:48 they formed plans for a great city 12:51 and a great tower... 12:52 Hurry up! 12:54 That would reach so high into the sky 12:55 that the whole world would notice. 12:58 After the flood, 12:59 what God really wanted was for Noah's family 13:02 to start over, to repopulate the earth. 13:05 There was a great, big world out there, 13:07 and He wanted them to explore it, 13:09 to spread out and take advantage of all 13:12 that He had created. 13:13 Wow, what a plan! 13:14 That sounds fun. 13:16 I like exploring. 13:17 The people planning the city, 13:19 they hoped that it would be so big 13:21 and so great that everyone would go against God's plan 13:25 and stay in one place. 13:28 They wanted to rule over everyone. 13:30 The powerful men who wanted to build the city, 13:34 they wanted to be more important 13:35 than God himself. 13:37 Whoa! Nobody is better than God. 13:40 That's right. 13:41 Many of the people, including women and children, 13:44 were assigned the job of making enough bricks 13:47 to make their dream a reality. 13:50 Though the people had turned away from God, 13:53 they had not forgotten the events of the flood. 13:56 They did not believe that God would keep His word. 13:59 So they vowed to protect themselves 14:02 by building a tower so tall 14:04 that it would be higher than any flood water. 14:08 What they didn't realize is that they could not 14:11 protect themselves from the pride 14:14 found within their hearts. 14:16 Magnificent, isn't it? Oh, yeah. 14:17 Indeed, it is. 14:19 This is my life's greatest achievement. 14:23 I mean our... 14:24 our greatest achievement. 14:26 We got a lot to be proud of. 14:28 It's remarkable, I mean, man, this is not even completed 14:31 and people are already moving in. 14:34 I mean, look at the lower section, 14:35 would you believe 14:37 they're already completely full? 14:38 I wonder how long it would take for us 14:40 to get to the top. 14:43 I don't know. 14:44 Forever, I imagine. 14:46 But what does it matter to us? 14:48 When we're done, 14:50 the people are sure to take us to the top of it, 14:51 and we can live out the rest of our days 14:54 as powerful men and women... 14:56 Yes. 14:58 And spend the rest of our lives lavished by servants. 15:06 Angered by the city's prideful ways 15:09 and the idol worship that was becoming 15:11 more and more common, 15:12 God sent an angel to interrupt the construction of the tower. 15:18 Listen, I'm going to need some more tar for this level 15:21 to start working on the second... 15:24 What? 15:25 I said I'm going to need some more tar for this level. 15:28 What are you talking about? I can't understand. 15:31 You're not.. 15:32 What? What is he saying? 15:34 Do you understand what he's saying? 15:36 I don't... 15:37 I don't know what he's saying. 15:40 You're not making any sense. You're not making any sense. 15:43 What is wrong? 15:45 Where are you going? 15:46 Get back here! 15:49 I can't understand a... 15:50 I can't understand a word you are saying! 15:53 What is going on here? 15:54 I don't understand a word you're saying! 15:59 What is everyone saying? 16:01 After the angel had disrupted their work, 16:04 creating confusion by introducing 16:06 the different languages, 16:08 construction of the great tower stopped. 16:12 The workers found it impossible to work together 16:14 because they could no longer understand each other. 16:23 Although the master builder pleaded 16:25 with the people to stay, God had a different plan. 16:30 What is going on here? 16:32 Where are you going? Where are you going? 16:41 You have to stay, you have to stay, 16:42 you have to stay. 16:48 What are you doing? You can't leave! 16:51 Can't leave! 16:52 I need you to stay. 16:54 No! Don't go! 16:59 We need to build the tower, we need to build the tower. 17:03 Can't you understand? 17:04 You cannot leave. 17:07 You can't leave. 17:09 Don't... Don't... 17:13 Whoa, whoa, whoa, hey... 17:16 You can't... 17:17 You can't leave. 17:29 That's great. That's great. 17:31 That's magical. Go, you cowards! 17:34 His will was ultimately carried out. 17:37 You see, kids, God doesn't want us to be proud, 17:41 He doesn't want us to compete to see 17:42 who is the biggest and the most impressive. 17:45 Instead of trying to build ourselves up, 17:48 we should always put others first. 17:51 We should be happy for others when they do something good. 17:54 That's how we glorify God, by being humble and unselfish. 17:59 Just an ounce of pride in our hearts 18:02 will keep us out of heaven. 18:04 Does that make sense? 18:06 I think so. 18:11 What are you doing, Logan? 18:13 I think this world needs more churches and less towers, 18:18 so I'm going to build a church. 18:22 Well, that's right, boys. 18:25 I think churches are better than towers, don't you? 18:27 Yeah. 18:29 Miss Brenda, do you want to help? 18:31 Well, I'd be glad to. 18:33 I don't know a lot about Legos, 18:35 would you boys teach me? 18:36 Okay, where do we start? 18:38 I think I'm going to need something like this. 19:01 Jesus draw me close 19:05 Closer Lord to You 19:10 Let the world around me 19:14 Fade away 19:19 Jesus draw me close 19:24 Closer Lord to You 19:28 For I desire to worship 19:32 And obey 19:38 Jesus draw me close 19:42 Closer Lord to You 19:47 Let the world around me 19:50 Fade away 19:56 Jesus draw me close 20:00 Closer Lord to You 20:04 For I desire to worship 20:08 And obey 20:13 For I desire to worship 20:17 And obey 20:33 It's time for Miss Brenda's book of the day. 20:36 And today's book is called The Schoolhouse Burned Twice, 20:41 and it's by BA Larsen, and it is filled 20:45 with wonderful stories all back in the old times, 20:49 and I'll give you a hint, 20:50 there are some Indian stories in here. 20:53 The Schoolhouse Burned Twice. 20:56 Well, today is a very special program. 20:58 I have a very good friend of mine with us today. 21:00 I love her very much, and I've loved for a long time, 21:04 and her name is Nori. 21:05 And, Nori, thank you so much for being here with me today. 21:08 Hi, I'm glad to be here. 21:10 Well, I'm so glad that you're here, 21:12 and you have a very special story. 21:14 For as long as I've known you, 21:15 you have always shined for Jesus. 21:19 And you've helped me a lot on our Bible stories, 21:21 haven't you? 21:22 You dress up, and it doesn't matter 21:24 what character I ask her to be, 21:25 we dress her up and she goes out on the set. 21:28 And you really are a shining star for Jesus. 21:30 Thank you. 21:31 And one thing that a lot of people 21:33 might not know though is that 21:35 you developed an illness, you became ill. 21:37 And tell me a little bit about... 21:40 You started getting sick and you went to the doctor 21:42 and the doctor told you what was wrong. 21:46 What did the doctor say? 21:47 They said I would have to have a colostomy 21:50 because I was bleeding a lot, 21:53 and so... 21:56 You were really sick. Mm-hm. 21:57 You were having trouble eating. 21:58 Yes, and I couldn't keep things down. 22:00 You couldn't keep things down, and you went in, 22:02 and got checked, and they said that 22:04 what they would have to do is 22:06 they'd have to do a colostomy. 22:07 Now, for boys and girls that don't know what that is, 22:09 what is that? 22:10 It's a bag for like to... 22:12 that your stool comes out in, 22:13 like, if it can't come out the other way. 22:15 So they take your intestine and they bring it out 22:17 to the outside of your body and they attach a bag in there, 22:20 then you can't go to the bathroom 22:21 like normal boys and girls go to the bathroom. 22:24 Mm-hm. 22:25 And so for some boys and girls, 22:26 they'd have a hard time with that, wouldn't they? 22:28 Mm-hm. 22:29 And they'd also, probably, maybe even blame God 22:31 or be mad at God or "Why did this happen to me?" 22:34 But I've never seen that in you at all, Nori. 22:37 I have seen you as a witness for Jesus, 22:39 and you've been in the hospital a lot. 22:41 In fact, you were in the hospital 22:43 just a couple of days ago. 22:44 And you just got out 22:46 and you still said you'd come and do this program with me, 22:48 and I want to thank you for that. 22:50 Tell me, you've had many opportunities to witness 22:52 through these hospital visits, 22:54 tell me about some of them. 22:55 Well, there was a time 22:56 when I used to do my physical therapy, 22:58 and that was before I had my surgery 22:59 and I got my colostomy. 23:01 And the person, my physical therapist, 23:04 she would always ask me if I was scared or like 23:07 if I didn't maybe want to do the surgery 23:08 because I was afraid of the anesthesia or like... 23:11 'Cause she heard stories about people not waking up, 23:13 so she, you know, asked me about that. 23:14 And, you know, I said like, 23:16 "If it's God's will, I'll make it through it. 23:17 So I don't have to be scared. 23:20 If He wants me to go through this, 23:22 I get to share my faith through this 23:23 if I do wake up." 23:25 So you weren't afraid at all? No. 23:27 No, because you trusted in Jesus. 23:29 And I know that you sang a lot in the hospital. 23:31 Oh, yeah. 23:32 I noticed that there were a lot of times 23:34 when singing brought you joy. 23:36 And if you were afraid at all, you were singing. 23:39 Even in the operating room when they were taking you in, 23:42 you were singing. 23:43 Yup, and my favorite song is 23:45 "Lord, prepare me to be a Sanctuary." 23:46 I like to sing that song, 23:48 like, when they're doing another IV, 23:49 like, if it, you know, best or anything, 23:52 like I like doing that 23:53 because it just like keeps me calm. 23:54 It keeps you calm. 23:56 And I've had an opportunity to call you many times 23:58 and talk to you right before surgery 24:00 or text you before surgery 24:02 and let you know I was praying for you 24:03 and even pray with you sometimes before your surgery. 24:06 We were at Oshkosh, Wisconsin, 24:09 and you happened to be in the hospital. 24:11 I know you were really disappointed 24:12 because you had planned to be in Oshkosh. 24:14 You were 11 years old, 24:16 and it was going to be your first year 24:18 that you could come to a camporee, right? 24:20 And you were really excited. 24:21 We were taping Kids' Time programs up there, 24:23 and you were going to be my helper, 24:25 and we were excited about having you come up, 24:27 and then you got sick and you couldn't come 24:29 and you were in the hospital. 24:31 And I felt really bad that you couldn't be there, 24:34 and we were doing some live programs 24:36 from the camporee each night. 24:38 And some of you viewers might remember, 24:40 on the live program, I said... 24:42 I talked about you and I said, 24:44 "I wanted to say a special hello 24:46 to my friend, Nori, 24:48 who's in the hospital right now." 24:49 And we had a prayer for you. 24:50 But where were you? 24:52 Did you get to see Miss Brenda saying 24:53 "Hi, Nori," right there on live television? 24:55 Yeah, I was... 24:56 It was actually on my mom's iPad, 24:58 we have the app of 3ABN, 24:59 we have the 3ABN Kids Network. 25:01 You're in the hospital room. Mm-hm. 25:02 I was in my... 25:04 Yeah, I was in a small room, in my hospital room. 25:05 And my nurse came, and her name was Amy, 25:08 and like, it was me and my mom. 25:09 Me and my mom were all crunched up on my bed, 25:11 waiting, and it was skipping, so we were kind of sad, like, 25:13 if we were going to get to see it or not. 25:15 And then finally, you said, like, "I love you," 25:17 and like you wished I was there, 25:18 and we were all crying, even my nurse was crying. 25:20 Aw! 25:22 And I was just hoping and praying, and I said, 25:24 "Lord, please help her to be awake 25:25 so she can see this." 25:27 I knew you'd be watching the live feed tonight. 25:29 And I said, "Oh, Lord, please help her to be awake." 25:31 And then to find out that you were 25:32 and you got to see it, I was so happy. 25:35 It was... 25:36 It was amazing to see it, like I cried for a long time. 25:39 Well, now the boys and girls that saw that are going to know 25:42 who Nori is because now they can see you. 25:45 So even in the bad times, you have praised Jesus. 25:48 And what would you tell boys and girls 25:50 who are suffering with illness right now? 25:52 Don't give up, and like always have faith 25:55 because it could be happening for a reason, 25:57 for you to be able to share with other people 25:59 about your testimony. 26:01 So it can maybe bring another soul to Christ. 26:03 Praise the Lord. 26:04 Well, I want to encourage you, 26:06 boys and girls, to keep sharing Jesus. 26:08 Wherever you go, whatever you do, 26:10 it's Kids' Time to share Jesus. 26:24 Kids' Time 26:47 Kids' Time, Kids' Time 26:49 Kids' Time, Kids' Time Kids' Time 26:55 Kids' Time |
