CBS news anchor Dan
Rather tells about attending a revival as a boy in his home town of Blooming,
Texas. It was a spectacular extravaganza the whole town attended. The tent was
open, the floor was sawdust, the build-up of the preacher’s message came at a
slow pace, but his point was unmistakable and personal. He wanted them to worry
about their status in the next life. The preacher questioned the strength of
each person’s faith.
One night during
the revival, while Dan was sitting on a wooden bench with his grandparents, the
preacher had worked himself up to furious pitch about their shaky loyalty to the
Lord. At the height of emotion, the preacher reached behind him into a chest,
grabbed two snakes and tossed them into the crowd. Apparently, the preacher
thought the snakes would be a perfect lesson.
People in the crowd
couldn't tell if the snakes were poisonous or not by just looking at them.
There was a screaming mass exodus out of the revival tent. Dan says it was a
sight to behold. “You see,” thundered the preacher, “your faith is fragile.”
That was the last
time Dan’s grandmother would ever attend a revival. She just could not see the
point of the snakes. Dan couldn’t figure out what the snakes had to do with his
religious faith.
Whether you agree
or disagree with the preacher’s tactics, it did get their attention. On
September 19th and 20th, I can assure you Jack Shelton
will not be throwing any
snakes at you. I can assure you that he
will
faithfully present the gospel of Jesus Christ and whenever the Good News is
shared, it always is meant to get our attention!
I do look forward
to this special time together! Please invite your friends and neighbors.
God bless,
