Today's Devotion:
"WHAT is THAT"
My former pastor, Perry Lassiter sent the
following to me.
"I was watching a football game on TV about
20 years ago.
The camera scanned the crowd.
There was a man holding up a sign that read
'JO 3:16.'
An announcer asked, 'What's THAT?'
Another announcer said, "I dunno. Looks like
Job 3:16."
(Job 3:16 is where Job is lamenting his birth!)
(JOHN 3:16 is another story altogether!!)
__________SCRIPTURE__________
John 3:16
For God so loved the world, that he gave his
only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth
in him should not perish, but have everlasting
life.
KJV
__________THOUGHT__________
Actually, John 3:16 was the Scripture base for
the first feeble attempt I made at preaching.
And, I have used it many times since.
Bro. Perry had asked me to preach the
"Layman's Day" sermon.
He didn't know it, but I was already struggling
with God about surrendering to the ministry.
Before that Sunday, I had prayed and asked
God, "If You really want me to preach, please
send someone to make a confession of faith
that has not been talking about it beforehand."
After that feeble sermon, a 12-year-old girl
came down the aisle and made a confession
of faith in Jesus!
Her mother had been my wife's Maid of Honor
when we got married.
I had studied for two weeks, and developed a
sermon with 8 pages of notes!
The sermon lasted about 8 minutes!!
That was 45 years ago!
It is NOT the MESSENGER that is important!
It is the MESSAGE!!
Love ya!
Bro. Bruce
