A/V Geeks 16mm Lunch 12-11-2025

Hello everybody. This is Skip Alzheimer. Welcome to the AV Geeks lunchtime streaming show. We where we are constantly pulling our hair out trying to figure out what's going wrong with our setup with the scanner. But we're just we're going to keep trying. We're just going to keep trying. >> Hello everybody. Oh, hold on. >> Anyhow, um yeah, got a film set up on the scanner. We're going to give it a shot. We're going to see what happens. This is insect enemies and their control. Enjoy. Heat. [music] Heat. [music] >> [music] >> This is an entomologist, a person who specializes in the study of insects. Many of the thousands of kinds of insects these scientists study are helpful to mankind. Fruit flies, for example, are useful in studies of heredity. Bees and other insects are helpful in pollinating flowers. Some insects act as scavengers, eating bits of dead animal and plant matter. However, there is a small but very important segment of the total insect population that destroys our crops, endangers our health, the health of our domestic animals and damages our homes. By understanding the habits of insects, their life cycles, their structures, and their physiology, entomologists are able to carry on a more effective battle against the enormous damage that harmful insects cause us. Entomologists are often called upon to identify insect specimens found in plants. Quarantine inspectors, some of whom are entomologists, prevent infested plants from coming into the country. Corn, for example, is a crop that is attacked by an insect pest accidentally brought into the United States. The European cornb lays eggs on the unders sides of corn leaves in June. These hatch into destructive larve, which in turn are followed by a second generation of moths and larve in early August. The second brood larve eat and destroy the stalks and ears. To combat this pest, some farmers delay their date of planting. This results in the corn being small and having little food value for the first generation larve when they are ready to hatch. Planting insectresistant varieties of corn also reduces crop damage. One of the common measures of control against the European cornb is the application of chemical insecticides. Control measures against insect pests are absolutely necessary for the production of our fruit crops. One insect which does damage to the apple crop is the coddling moth. The coddling moths lay their eggs on the leaves and twigs of apple trees in the spring. The larve feed briefly on the leaves and then eat their way into the apples. After feeding on the seeds within the cores, the larve leave the apples and find a sheltered place to spin their cocoons. These cocoons are on a discarded wooden box. The larve in the cocoons can be destroyed by burning such containers and other debris that accumulate in apple orchards. Frequent spraying of apple trees with insecticides during the growing season also helps prevent damage from the coddling moth. Each year, cotton crops are damaged by the larve of the bullw weevil. The adult wevil's long snout is used to bore an opening in the bowl which contains the developing cotton. The insect lays eggs in the hole it makes and the larve which hatch begin to eat inside the bowl. The result of this destruction is no cotton or at best short discolored fiber which has little commercial value. Dusting cotton fields from the air with insecticides is an effective method of protection from the bw weevil. There are many kinds of insecticides needed to control insects. Some will kill chewing insects such as grasshoppers while others will destroy sucking insects such as aphids. Aphids and other insects are also eaten by birds. Birds are an important natural control of insects and so conserving our bird life is another way of controlling harmful insects. Some insects are killed by other insects. This parasitic wasp is depositing her eggs in a caterpillar. The larve get their nourishment from the body of the insect host. Then the larve spin cocoons which we see on the skin of this caterpillar. Eventually the infested insect dies. Orange trees and other citrus fruits are sometimes injured by the cottony cushion scale, a small sucking insect which feeds on the trees and fruit. Lady beatles are a natural enemy of the cottony cushion scale and they are sometimes placed in groves. The lady beetles destroy the scale. But insects do damage other than to our crops. Some insects, such as the common house fly, are dangerous to our health. Flies carry disease germs on the hairy portions of their legs. House flies feed on decaying matter in which they also lay their eggs. The eggs in turn hatch into larve called maggots. By wrapping garbage and by sealing containers, we can prevent adult flies from reaching wastes where they may lay their eggs. Screens will protect our homes against flies, mosquitoes, and other insect pests, too. Mosquitoes are blood sucking insects. The Cullex and Aedes mosquitoes are mainly a nuisance, biting their victims and causing minor irritation. But some mosquitoes are serious threats to health. The anophles mosquito for example carries the microorganism causing malaria. Mosquito larve live in water and breathe through tubes which penetrate the surface of the water. To destroy these larve, safe insecticides are used which form a film on the water. The chemical film kills the larve by contact with them. Considerable damage is done in our households every year by another insect, the common clothes moth. Damage is not done by the adult moth, but by the larve, which feed on woolen fabric. Garments can be protected against closed moths by dry cleaning and by using paradicorenzene crystals. The vapors from these crystals keep away the adult moths that lay the eggs. Termites are insect pests which also infest homes in a different way. They may be found in the ground or in wooden structures of buildings. The food of termites is wood or cellulose in some form and within their intestines are microscopic protozoa which digest the cellulose. Treating the soil around foundations of buildings with a long-lasting chemical is the preferred method of preventing termite damage. The chemical forms a toxic barrier which termites cannot penetrate. This was once a beautiful elm tree. We can see what caused its destruction. Here we see the pattern of marks made by the burrowing of the European elm bark beetles which carry the Dutch elm disease fungus. Infected trees are removed and burned in order to destroy breeding places of these insects and prevent Dutch elm disease from spreading to healthy trees. The war against all insect pests is a neverending struggle. Methods are being continually applied to combat insects that destroy food crops. Insects that affect our health and insects that cause damage to our property. All of us benefit from the many different control methods which are used in the continuing fight against harmful insects. >> [music] >> Well, that's frustrating. I wasn't even scanning that film. And that's usually when it craps out is I'm scanning it and then the frames get dropped. But no, I was just running it straight like it should just play and it stopped. So, who knows what's going on. Not a fan. But there you go. Um, it's Christmasish coming up. Uh, somebody asked about Hanukkah films. I don't think I have specific Hanukkah films that I found yet, but I certainly had a film that had a monora in it. Uh, it was uh made it was made for Jewish young people, kids. Uh, but yeah, I I haven't found a Hanukkah film yet, but that doesn't mean it's not out there, so we'll keep looking. But it is uh Christmas or it's yeah the big smear of December that is Christmasesque. So here is God's Christmas gift. Enjoy. Hello. [music] [music] Hallelujah. [music] >> [music] >> Hurry up, Sandy. >> Yes, hurry up. I am hurrying. >> She can't run too fast. This part has to be done very carefully. There, I think you have it. How do you like it? Isn't that beautiful? Oh, you've done such a wonderful job. I'm glad you girls decided to work on this project. You know, this is more than just pieces of cardboard that have been cut out and put here. This nativity scene will remind us of a a wonderful event, the birth of Jesus. But I have a special reason for being glad that you wanted to do this. You know, in the rush of trimming the Christmas tree and shopping from store to store trying to figure out what gifts we can give, I'm afraid we sometimes forget the the most important gift of all. >> What's that, Mrs. Howard? >> I'm not going to tell you what that gift is. I'm going to let you think about it this next week. >> Won't you even give us the hint? >> Yes, I'll give you some hints, but the rest will be up to you. Are you ready? Well, the first one has to do with our nativity scene here, the birth of Jesus. And here's the next hint. It won't cost you any money to give this gift. And the person to whom you give it might say, "This makes me very happy." And the last hint is the most mysterious of all. You might give this gift I'm talking about and not even know that you're doing it. And the people to whom you give it might give the gift right back to you. >> Why would they give it back? Does that mean they wouldn't like the gift >> now? Now, no more clues. See if you can't solve the puzzle during the coming week. All right, girls. That's all. >> Bye, Mr. Pal. >> Goodbye. >> Goodbye. >> Goodbye, Mrs. It has to do with the birth of Jesus and it doesn't cost any money and the one you give it to might give it right back to you. That sure is hard to figure out. >> I'm sure if you think real hard, you'll get it. >> Bye, Mrs. Howard. >> Goodbye, honey. [music] >> [music] >> see who that is, will you, honey? >> Okay, Mom. [music] >> Who is it? >> Me, Daddy. Open up, will you? Honey. >> Hi, Daddy. Head me into the living room, will you, Sandy? >> You look so funny, Daddy. What's in all the packages? >> I'll tell you in a minute, honey. Wait till I get this stuff unloaded. Phew. I thought for a minute there I wasn't going to make it. Guess I should have made two trips. >> Are all these presents? Bill Adams, what in the world have you been doing? Buying out a store? >> Don't worry, honey. I didn't buy them. They were given to me. I asked all the boys at the plant to bring in any old toys their children might have so we could fix them up and give them to the welfare committee. >> Oh, that's wonderful. These will make a lot of children happy. >> They made me chairman of the committee. >> Oh, >> besides, I don't like to see any little girl without a dog. Little boy without a truck. And this is one way we can help. >> Can I give some of mine, too, Daddy? >> You sure can, honey. You just pick out any toy you'd like to give and let me know if it needs fixing up. Want to help me with these? >> I'd love to, Daddy. Where will we do it? >> In the basement. Should we take them down now? >> Oh, no you don't. Supper's ready. If I let you get down there, I won't get you back till bedtime. >> How do you like that? Your mother is interfering with the wheels of progress. >> No, she's not. She's just keeping a perfectly good dinner from going bad. Come on. >> Come on. >> [music] >> How much does it cost to fix these toys? >> Oh, I don't know, honey. I never gave it much thought. The toys are needed. That's the important thing. Why? >> I'm trying to think of a special gift. >> You mean something for mother? >> No, something else. Sort of a riddle. I have to figure it out by myself. >> Oh. >> [music] >> Hey, looks like I lost my helper tonight. >> Well, you can't have her all the time. I need it sometimes, too. You know, >> I promised Mom I'd help her make some Christmas cookies, but I'll be done pretty soon. >> Oh, okay. You go right ahead. But if you need anyone to test those cookies, I'll be in the basement. >> Okay. Christmas is a wonderful time, isn't it? It's even better than it was when I was real little. >> Yes, darling. And as you grow older and learn more and more about Jesus and the celebration of his birth at Christmas time, it'll mean even more then. >> Oh, mom, we finished our manger scene at church and I got to hang the star. >> Oh, that's wonderful. I must be sure to see it. Mrs. Howard's invited me to visit your class several times. This would be a good time to do it, wouldn't it? >> Oh, yes. Please do. >> You're fortunate to have Mrs. Howard as a teacher. >> I know. We have so much fun at our class. >> Now, we'll give these 10 minutes. I don't want them to burn. >> Mom. >> Yes, Donnie. >> How much does it cost to make these cookies every year? >> Honey, I never really count the cost. I don't know. Why do you ask? >> I'm trying to figure out something. Last week in church, Mrs. Howard was talking about a gift. She didn't say what it was, but she gave us some ideas. >> Oh. Oh, that sounds exciting. You need some help? >> Supposed to figure it out by ourselves. >> Well, what did she say about it? Well, she said it doesn't cost any money and it's always welcome and it has to do with Christmas and the one you give it to and make them so happy that they might even give it back to you. >> Well, that's a puzzler, isn't it? What do you suppose it is? >> That's what I'm trying to figure out. >> Well, when you find out what it is, be sure and tell me, won't you? >> I will. >> You know, I have an idea. How would you like to have our nativity scene in your own room this year? >> Oh, mom, could I? I'll make a star just like the one I made at church. [music] [music] >> [music] >> You sure there aren't any more burnt or broken ones? >> Here's one that's absolutely perfect. >> Is not the head's off. >> Well, it tastes just as good, doesn't it? >> There we are. All 196 of them. >> You mean you counted them? >> No, Sandy did. She's certainly been busy today. I sent her to bed early thinking she'd be tired. But when I went up for our good night talk and prayers, she was busy setting up the nativity scene. >> Yeah, I know. I saw it. Star and all right by her bed. You know, she's beginning to understand the real meaning of Christmas, too. >> Mrs. Howard's been a great help to her. She's a very fine teacher. I wonder what all that mystery is about the Christmas gift. Sandy tell you about that? >> Yes, she did. She's determined to figure it out for herself. >> Well, she better hurry then. She's only got two more days to do it. >> Good. Um, did you say 195 cookies? >> No. 196. And you stay out of them. has to do with the birth of Jesus. It doesn't cost any money and will make folks happy and they might even give it back. I wonder what it is. I wonder what it is. [music] >> Well, there they are all ready to go. >> Oh, I just can't believe it. They look like new. Well, you've done a wonderful job, Bill. >> I had a good helper. >> Oh, they'll make a lot of children happy. That reminds [music] me, I have to call the committee and see if they have any new names and addresses to add to my cookie list. >> Did you put down uh 127 Walnut Street? >> That's our address, Daddy. >> Oh, pardon me. >> We better get those cookies delivered in a hurry. They're all finished, dear, except for the ones you wanted saved. And I left you some frosting for them. >> Okay, Mom. But promise me you and Dad won't come in the kitchen. I have a special reason. >> I promise. We'll be in the living room if you want us. >> More secrets. I'm afraid so. It's Christmas, you know. >> Do you want me to help you carry some of these up? >> No, we better leave them down here till tomorrow. They'll be out of the way. And besides, you're not quite dry yet. >> All right. Oh, they're wonderful. [music] >> Ready? Here I come. I made it especially for you. One for each of you. Oh, thank you, darling. >> Thank you. >> Why, they're beautiful. Oh, this makes me very happy. >> Mama, what's the matter? >> I I think I know the special gift Mrs. How was talking about. It fits the clues and everything. It's love. I'm sure it is. The gift of love. How'd you figure that out? >> Mrs. Howard said the one who receives the gift might say, "This makes me very happy." And that's just what mommy said. She said the gift might come back. And love does, doesn't it? >> It sure does, honey. The more we love, the more love we have. It's a gift that can be given again and again and never run out of. Christmas gifts we only give at Christmas time. But the gift of love, it's the most wonderful gift of all. You can give it anytime. >> Yes, it's the gift God gave us all at Christmas time. He loved us so much he sent us his own son as our savior. He taught us to love not just at Christmas time, but all year round. >> The gift of love. I figured it out. What do I tell Mrs. Howard? The gift of love. M [music] [music] Heat. Heat. [music] >> [music] [music] [music] >> Heat. Heat. >> [music] [snorts] >> All right, scanner's being a little um fussy. So, we're going to go to another film that I scanned earlier today. Uh and this is uh I've shown this I showed this like more than five years ago, but it is good good good. It is called Children's Emotions and it has it's basically this adult who's kind of talking about the thoughts that this little kid is having at different times in their life. Um, and so it's that that dialogue one is awesome. Two, they show all the the things that caused anxiety in this kid and made probably ultimately made them neurotic. Um, so here it is. Children's emotion. Enjoy. Heat. Heat. [music] >> [music] [music] >> Babyhood is fun. And this fun is important because in babyhood the foundation is laid for behavior during the rest of the child's life. What kind of child will he be? Let's watch his emotional reactions as he grows beyond babyhood. He has to face all kinds of new situations because he's had little experience in making adjustments. His reactions are intense. No social taboos or cultural traditions affect him yet. So, you know where you stand with him. When he's angry, he's entirely angry, but it passes because it is expressed. Anger cools off quickly if we work it off instead of bottling it up. Because he doesn't hide it, it passes. His system is cleared out and he responds quickly and wholeheartedly to cheerfulness and affection in other people. When he is happy, he is completely happy. No worrisome memories or vague forodings bother him. That's what makes children so refreshing. >> As the baby grows, his emotions change. At first, he cries from internal causes such as hunger. Later, he becomes more sensitive to his surroundings, and he cries more from external causes. And so as children grow, they respond differently to the same treatment. This baby objects to getting his shoes on. The toddler may be glad of assistance. The six-year-old will lose his temper because he thinks he can do it better himself. Because the child's emotions are so intense and changeable, it's often hard to understand them. But if we can see things from his point of view, it will help. For instance, curiosity is a natural state for the baby. Suppose you were in his place. What is it? Why does daddy like them? What does it taste like? What if you pull the clock? Why will it grow? Why won't it grow? What will she do if you run away? How does it work? What does it mean? What? Why? Where? The only way to deal with curiosity is to satisfy it. Don't touch deprivives him of his most valuable source of information. But there are some things he can't figure out. And so success in his quest for knowledge depends on the adults around him. Children's thought processes are different from adults because so many of their concepts are incomplete and vague. They don't ask questions just to annoy. They really want to know. Finally, understanding dawn. They can find some of the answers for themselves. Curiosity in children should be encouraged because it nourishes the very roots of education. Fear is a more sinister emotion because it can affect development. It should be prevented. What is there to frighten babies? Well, suppose you were 6 months old. You've been used to a quiet room. Oh, baby. >> [laughter] >> Now, wasn't that a good trick, Sandy? Now, you were such a good little boy. I'm going to show you another one. >> Why doesn't he just show you pictures? >> Now you're growing up. You're not so much afraid of noises and people. Sometimes they make faces at you, but if you keep quiet, they go away. Wish the milkman didn't bring that horse every morning. Must get into mommy quick. Bill is bringing his new puppy. Will it bite? You don't want to read that animal book anymore. Now you're six, not afraid of baby things. It's kind of fun to be a little scared. Wouldn't go down cellar alone though. Ever since Aunt Betty said there were rats down there that would bite you. Wouldn't go upstairs alone at night either. You don't like darkness. [laughter] >> [laughter] >> No use calling mommy. She'll say it's just a dream. Nothing at all. What's that? Don't move. It might be something. You wish that cupboard door was closed. Might be a rat in there, too. Now you're 10, not so much afraid at night. Mom leaves the door open and the light on in the hall since you asked her to. There's nothing in that closet. Wish you'd closed it, though. You can't hear anything. Can't hear mommy and daddy breathing. Maybe they're dead. Someday they will die. You'd like to get into mom's bed, but you're afraid to get out of your own thunder. Mom will close the window. She's scared of thunder, too. These are typical fears of many young children. As the child grows older, most of them will disappear. But fear need not become a habit. If it does, it can ruin mental and physical health. There are many ways to prevent the fear habit in children. Strangers can come gently with mommy coming first to give warning. He is taught to control his surroundings as soon as he can. Noisy things are introduced at a distance. [music] He's taught to understand what makes the noise. He's given a chance to watch the puppy with someone else for a while first. The kind gentleman realizes that his laugh could be frightening to a small child. He's given reassurance when he needs it. And above all, mother is unafraid and cheerfully sympathetic in emergencies. Aunt Betty takes him down cellar with her instead of using fear as an easy way of making him obedient. And so as he grows up, there is very little to be afraid of. Anger is another emotion which begins very early in life. There are so many things that don't go the way you want them to. You know, it's infuriating to be stuck here on your stomach and not be able to turn over. [crying] If you get angry enough and cry loud enough, somebody usually comes to do something for you. But why does she always have to change your pants instead of picking you up? And you get angry at things as well as people. And as you get older, you have to do even more things you don't want to do, sitting here when you don't even want to go to the bathroom. And they're always taking things away from you. They give you toys that won't stand up. Other people snatch things you are just going to play with. They're always bothering you when you want to be left alone and then leaving you alone when you'd rather stay with them. They'll wash your face every chance they get. And they're always pulling tight clothes over your ears. They play with that big paper. And if you try to play too, they just get cross. Or if they don't read, they just talk and talk a lot of sounds that don't mean anything. The worst of it is they don't think you can decide anything for yourself. If they don't watch out, getting angry will become a habit and then you won't do anything for them. Even if it's something that you don't really care about. Now you're growing up and you can get angry just as well as they can. That'll show her. And when you're older, they yaky yak all the time. >> You're acting like a child of five. Hurry up or you'll be late for school again. You've just got to tidy up this room. It's been getting worse and worse for a week. There are ways in which anger can be prevented from becoming a habit too. At this age, the best antidote is diversion. Then comes sympathy for the baby's inability to do things for himself and understanding of the intensity of his wants. Training is hard for a baby. Let him know that you are with him and not against him. Maybe he didn't have to go after all. Let him take the initiative whenever possible. You can always rinse it off after he washes. And that matter of toys. They should work. They should fit. And they should stand up if they're supposed to. You know, it's really simpler to put the paper away for 10 minutes. Daddy should realize that there is a proper time for playing and Sunny will realize that there is a proper time for newspaper reading. That friction with the older child can best be avoided by cooperation until good habits are established. It takes two to make a quarrel. And must he go to the picnic? After all, democracy begins at home. Jealousy is a withering emotion. It always involves people, usually much loved ones. Often it is caused by the fear of losing someone's affection. When you're little, you're the most important person in the world, and mother comes next. You have all of her attention. And the more you've had, and the longer you've had it, the more you want it. How would you feel if this happened to you? >> I can't look at it now, dear. The baby needs her bath. >> Not now, darling. I have to feed the baby. Not just now, dear. I have to iron the baby's dress. You just have old overalls to wear. You're supposed to eat that stuff by yourself. Just let her touch one of your toys. You'll get even with her. But you can be jealous of other people, too. >> Good night, Sunny. Now, you be a good boy and go to sleep. Mommy and I are going out. >> Good night, darling. Sleep well. >> And you have to go to bed while your big brother reads comics half the night. >> And the fact that he understands football and you don't doesn't make it any easier to be left behind. It can happen to you at school, too. Especially if you have a really swell teacher. That big show off is the teacher's pet just because he makes better grades than you do. Jimmy always plays with Pete now because they have bikes. Jealousy is hard to deal with because it goes pretty deep. Sometimes it is slow burning and hidden. Sometimes in younger children it flares up. This is easier to handle because you can recognize it. But jealousy may be there when nobody knows it's there. Almost every child feels it at some time. It's better if he is prepared for the new arrival beforehand. And letting him help with the little sister will make him part of the team. Somehow or other, he must get his own share of attention. And equal rights are important. There are times when the baby's bath is not nearly as urgent as a minor repair to a toy. And mother must try to have a real understanding of each child's needs. But the most frequent emotion of all should be happiness. It is founded partly on physical well-being. And he is more likely to be happy if he is relaxed and rested. if he is secure in the knowledge that there is someone to take care of him in times of trouble and to appreciate his personal achievements in times of peace. He is sure of his own importance as he grows up. Yet he is not undisiplined. There are rules but they are reasonable and consistent. He reaches the end of childhood with a capacity for happiness that has grown with him from babyhood. Because babyhood is fun and his happiness and affection reach out to everybody he knows. In the beginning, food and warmth and love are very close together. This is perfect contentment. And when he's two, it's just good to be alive. It's true that he can best express his affection if mother meets him at his own level. There are so many things to be happy about. There are games and jokes. You're so clever when you're two. There's satisfaction in doing things. And so many kinds of friends. Some you find outside. And some that go everywhere, even to bed with you. Some like Aunt Marge that you only see once in a while. And best of all, there's love. Because you see, providing the material equipment for childhood is not enough. There are emotions, too. Some good and some bad. And by being truly happy with them, [music] we give to our children their best chance of enduring happiness. [music] [music] Man, [laughter] there are scenes in that. So, that was definitely Canadian Cwley films, but uh that scene of the the vortex and the devil, like so good. So, so good. Um yeah, so I haven't shown that in like five years. Um, but man. All right. So, what do we got? Uh, one last film. And yeah, it's a Christian film, sure, but this one is how to witness. This is how to go doortodoor and proalitize people about the good word of Jesus. Enjoy. And that's the the uh leader lady for the film. Heat. [bell] [bell] [music] Heat. [music] Heat. Heat. [music] [music] [music] >> [music] [bell] >> Heat [music] up here. [music] [music] Come back. Heat. Heat. [music] [music] [music] Heat. [screaming] Good morning, dear. >> Morning, Polly. >> Didn't you sleep well? >> Ah, I had bad dreams all night. >> Well, you did have two pieces of pie last night. Now, I was more than just bad dreams. It was the same one over and over again. Not exactly the same, but each time I tried to save him and he died. >> Who? >> Walter Reynolds. >> Oh, Jim. Honestly, just because he slammed the door in your face. >> But Polly, I went to his home to witness to him and I failed. You told the pastor you'd call on men and give Christian witness. You didn't say every man you talked to would accept Christ. >> But that dream means exactly what it said. Walter Reynolds needs Christ and I didn't win him. >> You called on him. You asked if you could talk to him and he laughed. What could you do? >> I don't know. That's what makes me think I'm I'm not the right man for the job. >> I don't believe that for one minute, Jim. Many people heard Jesus and still didn't believe. >> All right, I think I'll call on the pastor. [music] >> You know, pastor, a man usually forgets his dreams almost as soon as he wakes up. But these >> I'm grateful for your concern about this man, Jim, but I failed. I couldn't even get a chance to talk to Reynolds. None of us knows too much about witnessing Jim. Everybody seems to fail at some time or the other. I frequently talk to people who refuse to believe. And I've had the door slammed in my face. Well, then what can I do? How can I do a better job, pastor? Every piece of work, whether in the business world or in the church, has principles that make it more effective. Even witnessing for Christ has helpful guides. >> Well, I certainly need every bit of help I can get. >> First, every thought, every effort in this regard must be bathed in prayer, concern, directed, specific prayer for the right attitude in ourselves and for the gift of grace to the man we talk to about Christ. >> Well, God needs to help us both. >> That's right. But he needs you. He needs you to present the plan of salvation to Walter Reynolds at the right time and in the right way. I carry this Bible with me always. I use ribbon and red ink to mark the pages and references I use. >> I see. In a way, you you organize yourself. That's it exactly. And then I usually start by asking a simple question. Have you ever thought of becoming a Christian? >> I imagine most people have at one time or another. >> That's right. And then I usually ask another question. What is a Christian? Often the person tells you something that a Christian does without saying what a Christian is. >> Yeah. Well, what do you say to that? And then I asked him if we might search the Bible for the answer to what a Christian is. Well, let me take down some of these references. Now, the uh the first thing to do is to help the lost person know that he is a sinner. Uh Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." After reading this, I ask, how many sins does it take to make a sinner? Why do you ask that? >> Because a person needs to know that if he has sinned one time, one time only, that he is a sinner. And he needs to know the consequences of his sin. [clears throat] I read in Romans 6:23, "For the wages of sin is death." And make no mistake about it, death takes the guilty sinner to hell. Revelation 2:18 says, "But the fearful and unbelieving and the abominable and murderers and sorcerers and idolattors and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burnth with fire and brimstone. These are hard things to tell a man, pastor. Yes, they are. But the same verse I read a moment ago, Romans 6:23, also says, "But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Show him how he receives Christ. How John 1:12 says it beautifully. But as many as received him to them gave he power to become the sons of God. You must tell them how to receive this gift. Luke 13:3 says, "Except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish." Acts 16:31 says, "Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved." Pastor, how would you explain the meaning of repentance? Repentance is the experience that takes place in a man's heart when he has turned from sin to God. Then this would be the time to give him a definite opportunity to accept Christ. Yes. Only after you've read Romans 10:9 and 10. That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God have raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made under salvation. Which simply means then when I repent of my sins and trust Jesus as my personal savior and lord, I will be willing to make known publicly my decision for Christ. >> Yes. [music] Keep it, Jim. I have a feeling you'll be using it often. Yes. Yes, I will. Thanks a lot, pastor. I'll pray [music] for you, Jim and Walter. Let us pray right now. Fine. [music] [music] >> Yes. What do you want? >> I want to thank you. >> Want to thank me? What for? >> For slammering the door in my face. >> What? >> You did a great deal for me. >> What do you mean? >> Well, you made me go back and find out just how to do what I'm trying to do. >> Are you kidding? >> No, you did a great favor for me. I'd like to tell you about it. >> Come on in. You said I helped you. How? By making me go back and read my Bible. Might as well sit down. Thank you. I wasn't fair to you before. I said and did the wrong things. You did seem a little eager. Yes. And I was abrupt. I put things the wrong way. But you know, I've been wondering, have you ever thought about becoming a Christian? Well, yes. Haven't thought too much about it lately. Mr. Reynolds, if someone were to ask you, "What is a Christian?" How would you answer? Well, a Christian is someone who does good, I guess. Goes to church all the time. >> That's what a Christian does. But what is a Christian? >> I guess I don't know. >> Would you mind if I took the Bible and found out the answer to what is a Christian? Go ahead. Romans 3:23 says, "For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God." Mr. Reynolds, God tells us that we're all in the same lost condition, that we are sinners. Now, we know this is true, do we not? For instance, have you ever committed a sin? >> Sure. Who hasn't? >> We all have, haven't we, Mr. Reynolds, how many sins does it take to make a sinner? If the Lord Jesus was standing right here by you now, could you say that you are as righteous as Jesus Christ? >> No, of course not. >> And that is what God has just said. We've all sinned and come short of his glory. And one sin makes a man a sinner. Because we are sinners, God says that we have earned certain wages. Listen. Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death. Mr. Reynolds, have you ever thought about what death will bring to the guilty center? >> No. No, I haven't. Revelation 21:8 says, "But the fearful and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and sorcers, and idolatrous, and all liars shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone." Mr. Reynolds, let me ask you a question. If you were to die tonight, where would you go? According to what you just read, I'd go to hell. We need to realize that sin leads to our total destruction. But Romans 6:23, the verse I read a moment ago, goes on to say, "But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. The wages of sin is death. Then as sinners, we must receive those wages or someone must receive them for us. And that is what Jesus did on the cross. He received in full payment your sins. But listen to what God has to say. Now he does not talk about death, but the opposite. Eternal life has a gift. But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. But you can't earn a gift, can you? You do not pay for a gift, do you? >> No. No. And God's gift to us as stated in this verse, what is it? >> Eternal life. >> And now we see that the gift is in a person, Jesus Christ. Mr. Reynolds, a Christian is one who has received eternal life, who has received it in Jesus Christ. Listen. But as many as received him gave he power to become the sons of God. How do you receive him? We first must repent of our sins. Listen, Luke 13:3 says, "Except you repent, ye shall all likewise perish." And then we must believe, Mr. Reynolds, as Acts 16:31 states, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved." Just just what does repentance mean? Repentance is that experience that takes place in a man's heart when he turns from sin to God. From that point on, you walk in a new direction. You walk in a newness of life. One other passage I'd like to read to you. Romans 10:9 and 10. that if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shall believe in thine heart that God have raised him from the dead, thou shalt [music] be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession [music] is made unto salvation. This passage means that when you repent of your sins and when you trust Jesus to be your savior, you will be willing publicly to make known your decision for Christ. Now's the time, Mr. Reynolds. Now is the time to accept Christ. Will you do it? I accept him now. [music] [music] >> [music] >> Um, it starts off so good [laughter] with that crazy nightmare. Um, and then the wife's saying like, "Well, you did have two slices of pie." So, it's like, is this an indigestion like nightmare or is he really troubled by the fact that he has not been able to save Walter? Um, and was that a Wilhelm scream in there? I don't I don't know. Like, I've I've heard the original Wilhelm scream, but I have I can't remember if it's or whatever it is, but um it was a good screen. Hey, thanks for joining us today. Um, I'm going to try to again streamline this. Like I got this working with this machine, but you know, this might be the point of failure, which is going to be a big pain. So, we're we're going to keep trying and seeing. Ultimately, the goal is during the lunchtime show is to show you stuff and then if I can also digitize it while I'm showing it to you, that's even better. That's what we call icing on the cake. But if I can't, we'll just continue showing you stuff, new stuff, and I'll try to diversify it so it's not so uh Jesus heavy. Um, anyways, everybody have a great rest of your day and we will see you soon. Everybody take care. Uh, hit the thumbs up, hit the like button, donate via the super thanks button or Patreon or Venmo, buy us coffee, all those things that are hovering next to me to the right of me. Um, but everybody take care. See you tomorrow. Bye.
