  Mom, Dad, Buzz, Jeff, Heather, they're all gone.
• 0:15
  I made my family disappear. I'm home alone.
• 0:20
  I'm going to eat a whole gallon of ice cream all by myself.
• 0:24
  Then I'm going to order a pizza and eat all the cheese off the
• 0:27
  top. Then I'm going to drink a 2
• 0:29
  liter bottle of Coke and belch really loud.
• 0:33
  And I'm going to stay up watching TV all night and then
• 0:37
  wait a minute. It's almost Christmas.
• 0:39
  Christmas is a season to worship.
• 0:41
  God, I better read the Bible first, then I could do all that
• 0:45
  other stuff. Every tongue should confess that
• 0:51
  Jesus Christ is Lord Philippians 211.
• 0:55
  Confessing Jesus as Lord is a form of worship.
• 0:59
  I know that because I learned it at kids church like every kid
• 1:03
  should. OK, I guess I'll go to the store
• 1:06
  and buy some junk food to get through until everyone gets
• 1:10
  back. Are you sure this is the place?
• 1:21
  Yeah, I'm sure I followed the kid home from the grocery store.
• 1:25
  And you're sure he's home alone? I'm sure.
• 1:28
  Merry Christmas, little fella. We got a surprise for you.
• 1:34
  Yeah, Christmas is the season to open presents.
• 1:39
  Christmas is the season to worship God.
• 1:41
  What did he say? What did you say?
• 1:44
  Open the Bible and find out for yourselves.
• 1:47
  It's highlighted for you. What's he talking about?
• 1:50
  Hey. There's a Bible.
• 1:51
  Let's find out. Let me see that every tongue
• 1:56
  should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord Philippians 211.
• 2:01
  I don't get it. We're being scammed by a
• 2:04
  kindergartener. What do you mean?
• 2:07
  He's home. All alone, we're here to rob the
• 2:09
  place, and he wants us to think that God's on his side.
• 2:13
  What if God is on his side? I don't tell me you believe in
• 2:18
  God. Well, yeah, don't you?
• 2:20
  Now. I don't.
• 2:22
  How can you say that? Do you want to go to hell?
• 2:26
  Right now, all I want is to tie this kid up so we can rob the
• 2:31
  place without worrying that he's called the police.
• 2:33
  Now come on. All right, kid.
• 2:36
  Where are you hiding? If you want me, come and get me.
• 2:47
  What was that? I think we just got schooled by
• 2:52
  a kindergartner. Maybe now you'll reconsider.
• 2:56
  Reconsider what? Believing.
• 2:58
  In God. It's obvious God's on his side.
• 3:02
  Be quiet and let's get out of here.
• 3:13
  All I've been doing is complaining about how I wish I
• 3:17
  didn't have a family. Maybe I should start confessing
• 3:20
  Jesus as Lord of my family. Then I'd be worshipping God
• 3:24
  instead of myself all the time. I'm not the only person on the
• 3:28
  planet, but I am the only person home.
• 3:31
  Dear God, I don't want anything for Christmas this year.
• 3:35
  Well, I do want something. I want my family back and I
• 3:39
  promise I'll treat them better this time around.
• 3:42
  In Jesus name, Amen. Amen.
• 3:45
  Wow. God, that was fast I.
• 3:48
  Actually thought the house would be burned to the ground.
• 3:50
  You're all right for a little kid?
• 3:52
  Yeah. What did you do the last couple
• 3:54
  of days? I acted very responsible.
• 3:57
  I read my Bible before I junked up on food from the grocery
• 4:01
  store. You went to the grocery store by
• 4:04
  yourself? Yeah.
• 4:05
  And I told a couple strangers about Jesus.
• 4:07
  You weren't afraid. Why should I be afraid?
• 4:10
  It's Christmas. Christmas is the season to
• 4:12
  worship God. I found this really neat verse.
• 4:16
  Every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord Philippians
• 4:20
  211. Well, I was worried about you.
• 4:23
  Where's Jeff and Heather? Oh no.
• 4:25
  We. Left them in Disneyland.
• 4:27
  We got to. Go back.
• 4:29
  Come on. You guys went to Disneyland
• 4:32
  without me? Buddy, what are you doing?
• 4:47
  I'm reading the Bible. I can see that.
• 4:51
  Where did you get that Bible? That's my Bible.
• 4:55
  Mom said I could read it. She said that Christmas is about
• 4:59
  Jesus coming to earth as a baby. That's right.
• 5:02
  Oh, listen to this. May God make you complete in
• 5:06
  every good work working in you what is well pleasing in His
• 5:09
  sight through Jesus Christ. Hebrews 1321.
• 5:13
  Is that true? If it's in the Bible, it's
• 5:17
  usually true. That's why they call it the
• 5:20
  truth. You want to be complete, don't
• 5:23
  you? I guess so.
• 5:26
  Giving allowance is a good work, right?
• 5:29
  Yeah, I guess giving allowance would be a good thing.
• 5:34
  And $100 allowance would be really pleasing, don't you
• 5:38
  think? That would be a very good
• 5:41
  allowance. Give it to me.
• 5:43
  What? $100 allowance.
• 5:46
  Give it to me. Besides, Christmas is the season
• 5:49
  to help those in need and I need $100.
• 5:53
  Not going to happen, honey. Is my coffee ready?
• 5:57
  I have to go to work. See you, buddy.
• 5:59
  But the Bible says, May God make you complete in every good work
• 6:03
  working in you what is well pleasing in His sight through
• 6:06
  Jesus Christ. Hebrews, 1321.
• 6:15
  Don't. Do that, buddy.
• 6:16
  Why not? It's fun.
• 6:18
  Well, it may be fun to you, but it's not fun to me.
• 6:21
  So I did a bad thing. I don't want to do bad things.
• 6:25
  I only want to do good things. Don't you?
• 6:28
  Well. Yeah, of course I want to do
• 6:30
  good things. Who doesn't?
• 6:32
  My dad, I tried to get him to give me $100 for allowance, but
• 6:36
  he wouldn't. You're weird.
• 6:38
  No, I'm not. Yes, you are.
• 6:41
  No, I'm not. It's in the Bible.
• 6:43
  What's in the Bible? Lots of things.
• 6:45
  I've been reading it. It talks about creation and
• 6:47
  Abraham and Moses. Oh, and it tells the story of
• 6:51
  the first Christmas when Jesus was.
• 6:52
  Born. I know, I've read it.
• 6:54
  You have did you know? It says.
• 6:57
  May God make you complete in every good work, working in you
• 7:00
  what is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ.
• 7:03
  Hebrews, 1321. If you say so.
• 7:06
  Look, it's right here. You're right.
• 7:11
  You know what I think would be a really good work for you to do?
• 7:14
  That would be, well pleasing in my sight.
• 7:17
  No, I think you should make some spaghetti with Maple syrup.
• 7:21
  That would be really good. Well, that's not going to
• 7:24
  happen. But Christmas is the season to
• 7:27
  help those in need, and I need some spaghetti.
• 7:30
  Where are you going, Jovi? Away from here, you're grossing
• 7:33
  me out. Spaghetti and Maple syrup.
• 7:36
  EW. It may be well pleasing in your
• 7:39
  sight, but it's not in my sight, and I seriously doubt it's
• 7:42
  pleasing in God's sight either. Are you saying God doesn't like
• 7:46
  spaghetti with Maple syrup? Well, you don't look happy.
• 7:54
  What's the matter? Did you get grounded?
• 7:56
  What's Grounded? Put on restriction, told to stay
• 8:00
  in your room for the rest of your life.
• 8:02
  That's grounded. No, it's not that.
• 8:05
  You can tell me what's wrong. I'm your brother.
• 8:08
  That's what brothers are for talking things out so we can
• 8:11
  help each other. Christmas is the season to help
• 8:15
  those in need. Nobody's helping me.
• 8:18
  I need $100 and some spaghetti with Maple syrup.
• 8:22
  Sorry can't help you, I don't have any money and I don't know
• 8:25
  how to make spaghetti. You're just like Dad and Jovi.
• 8:29
  Hey look, I want to help. Why don't you tell me what's
• 8:33
  going on? I found this verse in the Bible.
• 8:36
  May God make you complete in every good work working in you
• 8:40
  what is well pleasing in His sight through Jesus Christ.
• 8:43
  Hebrews, 1321. OK, So what did you do?
• 8:48
  I told Dad it would be good if he gave me $100 allowance, and I
• 8:51
  told Jovi it would be good if she made me some spaghetti with
• 8:55
  Maple syrup. And you know what I got?
• 8:57
  Nothing. How did you?
• 9:00
  Know. Good guess.
• 9:02
  Listen, buddy, you can't take that verse and go around trying
• 9:05
  to make people do good things for you.
• 9:08
  Why not? Because it wasn't meant for
• 9:11
  that. When you read the Bible, you're
• 9:13
  supposed to read it as though it's written to you.
• 9:16
  I'll show you what I mean. May God make Buddy complete in
• 9:20
  every good work, working in Buddy what is well pleasing in
• 9:24
  His sight through Jesus Christ. Hebrews, 1321.
• 9:29
  So it would be good if I gave DAD $100 for allowance.
• 9:35
  I guess so, but. And I could make Jovi some
• 9:38
  spaghetti with Maple syrup. Oh, but she doesn't like
• 9:41
  spaghetti with Maple syrup. It grosses her out.
• 9:44
  Who knew? I guess I'll just keep reading
• 9:47
  the Bible. Now see reading the Bible's a
• 9:50
  good work that is, well, pleasing to God, along with
• 9:53
  helping people in need. Thanks Michael.
• 9:56
  You're a big. Help.
• 9:57
  That's what brothers are for. Hey, where are you going?
• 10:00
  I already read the Bible today. I'm going to go help someone in
• 10:04
  need. I'm telling you, Max, there's no
• 10:10
  place like home. Those blasted who's can
• 10:14
  celebrate all they want, but I want new part of it.
• 10:19
  Peace and quiet. That's what I say.
• 10:22
  I'll be quiet. Maybe those who's have settled
• 10:26
  down, I think I'll check. Our God is an awesome God.
• 10:34
  He reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love.
• 10:39
  Our God is an awesome God. Yeah.
• 10:43
  Is that singing, Max? Bring me my cloak.
• 10:50
  Better yet, go find out who's making that noise and bring them
• 10:53
  to me. Simply explain to whoever that
• 10:57
  their. Singing is disrupting my.
• 10:58
  Peace and quiet and to please do it elsewhere.
• 11:02
  Nah, I'll just scare the heebie jeebies out of them.
• 11:05
  That'll teach them. Excuse me, is this your dog that
• 11:13
  drugged me? Here, how dare you enter the
• 11:16
  Grinch's lair? What do you think you're doing?
• 11:20
  What am I doing? I'll, I'll skip into the loo.
• 11:23
  Wait, no, no, that's not right. Going to the.
• 11:26
  Store No. That wasn't it.
• 11:28
  I believe you were singing. Oh yeah, I'm singing praises to
• 11:34
  God. Praise keeps our faith strong so
• 11:37
  that we can walk in. Victory.
• 11:39
  Really. You are very disruptive, I'll
• 11:43
  have you know. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to
• 11:46
  disrupt. I was just doing what Psalm 34
• 11:49
  one. Says Psalm 34.
• 11:51
  One What? Is that?
• 11:52
  Some kind of a fortune cookie. It's a Bible verse Psalm 34 one.
• 11:57
  It says it says he who? Has a wife, has a no.
• 12:03
  I Plumb. Forgot.
• 12:04
  Bible verse, huh? Thanks to the Gideons.
• 12:07
  I have one of those. I'll go look it up myself.
• 12:11
  Oh yeah. I will bless the Lord at all
• 12:14
  times. His praise shall continually be
• 12:17
  in my mouth. I will bless the Lord at all
• 12:20
  times, as praise shall continually be in my mouth.
• 12:22
  Psalm 34 One. That's it, I remembered right
• 12:26
  after you left. Praising God keeps your faith
• 12:30
  strong. So that's why you do it.
• 12:32
  Yep, exactly. I hate to be the one to inform
• 12:35
  you, but this is a new singing zone, so I'm going to have to
• 12:40
  ask you to go back where you came from and stay there.
• 12:46
  Could you take a step back, please?
• 12:48
  A little to the left. Thank you.
• 12:52
  This is fun.
