Let's talk about it.
THE SILENCE OF GOD, AND THE CRUMB THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING.

I need to share with you a sermon, which is actually a story, I first heard over twenty years ago. It came from a pastor named Lyle Albrecht, and what he shared has stayed with me all these years, becoming a precious pearl.

Pastor Lyle stood before his congregation and he bagan with these simple words: "Three years had passed."

In their home nestled somewhere among the Idaho pines, the family had gathered, his daughter, her children, his youngest son, his wife Peggy and himself.

But there was an empty chair. Their middle child, Terry, was far away in Vermont. And if you've ever had a child living at a distance, you know how that absence becomes a daily wonder, a wish, a desire to know, how are they doing.

They were just sitting down to dinner when the telephone rang. Lyle's son Troy answered. Listened. Then turned to his father and said: "Dad. It's for you."

A voice on the other end. Professional. Careful. The kind of voice that has delivered bad news so many times before.
"Mr. Albrecht? The voice asked. "You have a son, Terry, in Vermont?" "Yes." Then a pause. The kind where time becomes a torment.

"We're sorry to tell you he's been in a very tragic automobile accident. And we're not sure he's going to live."

Now here is where Lyle could have done like some preachers do and performed for us. He could have stood tall and told us how faith rose up like a lion in his chest. He could have described how he dropped to his knees and quoted Hebrews chapter eleven from memory while angels hovered in the rafters.

But he did not do that. He said, and I will never forget this, "I wish I could tell you that at that moment I was a great paragon of faith and confidence and strength. I wasn't."

That is the sound of a man telling the truth. And truth, I have learned, is the only soil where real encouragement ever grows.

Let me pause here to say what he said: "Terry survived. After surgeries, Terry came back to health." And Lyle thanks God for that. But the story was never really about the ending. It was about the middle.

Lyle asked the congregation a question.
A raw, deep, sould searching one.
"Has any of you here ever wished you had more faith? Better faith?"
Hands may have went up. Of course they did. Yours would have too. Mine did, and I was only listening to the sermon audio.

Because we all know Hebrews 11. We've nodded along to it at Bible studies and funerals and Wednesday night prayer meetings. "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen." Beautiful words. Poetic.

And then comes verse six, which is less like poetry and more like a surgeon's knife: "Without faith it is impossible to please God."

Concerning these verses, Lyle admitted what most of us only whisper to ourselves. on that night, he found himself wishing God had used simpler language. Couldn't you have spoken, Lord, in a way I could actually understand? What do you mean: "Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen?"

He wanted to hold faith. To put it on a table. To take a knife, not a spiritual one, but a real one, a kitchen knife and dissect it. Cut it open. See its anatomy. Learn its secret chambers. And then, build a great faith for himself.

You understand this, don't you? The desperate desire to have Scripture make sence, when circumstances brings you to the edge of painful uncertainty.

Now he said, one day something happened. He was reading Matthew's gospel. Chapter fifteen. A story he had read dozens of times before, the kind of passage your eyes glide over because you think you already know what it says.

But this time, it leapt. He said, it grasped his mind and held it as if in a vice grip and wouldn't let him go. And in that story, just a few short verses, barely a paragraph, he found what he had been looking for. The elements of a great faith. Not in a theological outline. Not in a sermon series. But in a woman's real life story. A foreign woman. A woman whose name we never learn.

Now let me tell you the story as he told it, because the telling matters.

Jesus travels into the coastal region of Tyre and Sidon. And a local woman comes to Him, crying out, not politely, not with religious decorum, but with the raw throat of a mother whose daughter is shattered by a demon. "Lord, have mercy on me, Son of David!"

She calls Him by His Jewish title. She has no right to that name. She is not of the house of Israel. But desperation doesn't care about credentials. And Jesus? Well, Jesus answers her not one word. Let that sink in a moment. The Son of God, who spoke galaxies into existence, who never turned away a seeking soul, He stood in front of this weeping mother and said nothing.

The disciples, those twelve ordained preachers as Lyle called them, grew annoyed. They say: "Lord, send her away. She's bothering us. She's just a complainer. A whiner. She's in our way." Not one of them said, "Lord, help her." Not one.

Jesus finally breaks His silence, but not with a healing. He says, "I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."

In other words, He is saying: "Woman you do not meet the requirements for my help." This is a locked door. A closed border. A theological barrier.

But the woman does something extraordinary. She doesn't leave. She pushes through the silence, through the disciples' hostility, through Jesus's own words and she comes closer. She falls down. She worships Him and cries out, "Lord, help me."

And Jesus says something that shocks us. Something that, if we're honest, makes us uncomfortable. "It is not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."

The children are Israel. The dogs are Gentiles. This is a cultural insult of the highest order. He was saying: it is not right to take what belongs to the children of Israel and give it to a dog like her.

Watch what she does now. Because this is where Lyle said everything changed for him. She doesn't argue. She doesn't storm off in offense. She doesn't lecture Jesus about political correctness or racial sensitivity. She says: "That's true, Lord. Yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their master's table."

You're right, she says. I have no claim. No birthright. No covenant. I am not one of the children. I am not entitled to the bread.
But even dogs get crumbs.

Martin Luther once said that with those words, this woman had gathered all the promises of God into one huge bundle and laid them at Jesus's feet. The bundle was so big that Jesus was unable to step over it and walk away.

She took His apparent rejection and turned it into an argument for mercy. And Jesus, the same Jesus who had been silent, who had seemed cold, who had called her a dog, Jesus broke open like the sky with its showers of blessings. "O woman, great is your faith! Be it done for you as you desire."
And her daughter was healed. That very moment. Not later. Not after a season of testing. That very hour.

Now, Pastor Lyle laid out what he saw in this story. Three tests. And as he named them, I realized he was also describing his own experience.

FIRST TEST: People who should help you, won't. The disciples. Twelve ordained ministers. Instead of advocating for her, they tried to run her off.

Lyle said: "When we visit people who have left the Church, they often pour out stories of how they were hurt by the former pastor or the head elder... And tragically, they're often telling the truth."

But this woman wouldn't be driven away. She clung. She persisted. She hung on even when twelve preachers told her to go away. Lyle's point was this: If your faith is real and centered in Christ, all the forces of darkness combined and all the folks in the church, including preachers, can never drive you from His presence.
He mentioned that Jesus still went to the synagogue every Sabbath, even though the religious system of His day was corrupt. The Church was a mess and yet Jesus went there anyway.

SECOND TEST: The silence of God.
This is the hardest one. The one that breaks the strong and humbles the proud.

Sometimes we pray through the night. Your pillow is soaked. You beg, you bargain, you weep until your throat is raw. And heaven seems to say nothing in response.

Lyle pointed to John the Baptist. The same John who had pointed to Jesus and cried, "Behold the Lamb of God!" That John, sitting in Herod's dungeon, with no visit from Jesus, sent messengers to ask: "Are you the one, or should we look for another?" Six weeks. That's all it took, Lyle said, for this great faith to corrode under the silence of God.

The silence of God is not proof of His absence. It is the furnace where counterfeit faith burns away and real faith is refined.

THIRD TEST: When God finally speaks, His words seem like rejection.
"It's not right to take the children's bread and throw it to the dogs."
Imagine hearing that from Jesus. The One you came to for help. And He calls you a dog.

But here is the secret and Lyle said it quietly, as if he was letting us in on something precious: She took what He gave her. She didn't demand the bread. She accepted the crumb. And the crumb, it turns out, was enough. Because the crumb came from the Master's table. And one crumb from Jesus is a feast.

Here is what Lyle discovered and here is what I want you to carry away with you today. Great faith is not dramatic. It is not the stuff of revival tents and television miracles. Great faith is a mother who will not stop praying. A father who stays on his knees even when God is silent. A person who, when told they don't belong, says, "That's true. But even the crumbs are enough."

Great faith is stubborn hope. It is refusing to let go of an unseen hand when every visible thing tells you there is no hand at all.

I don't know where you are as you read this. Maybe you are in the middle of your own tragic night. The phone has rung. The news has come. And God is silent.

Maybe you have been hurt by the Church. By people who should have helped you but instead tried to drive you away. Maybe the pastors and the elders and the dear Christian ladies have failed you. And you're wondering if it's even worth staying.

Maybe you feel like a dog at the table. Like you have no right to ask. Like your past is too stained and your faith is too small.
Well hear this: The woman came with nothing but need. No credentials. No pedigree. She came with a broken daughter and a desperate heart.
And Jesus called her faith great.
Because she would not let go. Because she took the silence and the rejection and the insult and she turned them into a plea for crumbs. And the crumbs healed her daughter.

Lyle ended his sermon with something that felt less like a conclusion and more like a poem. I want to give it to you now, the way he gave it to his listeners.

When family, friends and church seem uncaring. When God Himself seems silent. If you still cling. If you still persist. If you refuse to let go of that unseen hand. Then you too have a great faith. Not because you feel strong. But because you are still holding on.

Have faith in God, though sometimes you must weep.
Have faith in God, though sorrows pain you deep.
Have faith in God, His promises He'll keep.
Have faith, dear friends. Have faith in God.

Terry lived. The daughter was healed. And the silence, the terrible, unbearable silence, gave way to a voice that said, "Be it done for you as you desire."

Hold On, Dear Friends. Your Crumb Is Coming.

A Little Light reading.
Understanding the Three Angels’ Messages.

The gospel and a message of warning.

Thomas R. Shepherd

The three angels’ messages of Revelation 14:6-12 are central to the mission of our church and have been from its beginning. The early Adventists saw in these powerful proclamations their mission to the world in preparation for the soon return of our Lord and Savior. But if you are reading them for the first time, you might wonder how they fit with life in the twenty-first century. What do they mean for us today, and how can we share their meaning with our neighbors?

The Layout

The three angels’ messages appear in the central vision of Revelation 12-14.1 In this central vision the great themes of Revelation reach a climax—good versus evil, obedience versus rebellion, true worship versus false worship. Chapter 12 opens with a harrowing picture of a woman (God’s faithful people) chased by a great red dragon (the devil and his earthly puppets, Rev. 12). A battle ensues in heaven with Michael and His angels defeating the dragon and casting him down to earth. But then the dragon chases the woman into the desert and goes off to make war with the last of her children (God’s people in the last days).

Revelation 13 deepens the tension with two beasts (later persecuting powers), one from the sea, the other from land, that continue the persecution of God’s people. It seems good will be defeated and evil will triumph, when the three angels come on the scene (Rev. 14), proclaiming both a message of salvation and a message of destruction. After the angels comes the Son of man on the clouds of heaven, fulfilling what the three angels have proclaimed. So why do we have these three angels’ messages at this point in Revelation?

A Gospel Message?

The first angel’s message reads as follows in Revelation 14:6, 7:

“Then I saw another angel flying directly overhead, with an eternal gospel to proclaim to those who dwell on earth, to every nation and tribe and language and people. And he said with a loud voice, ‘Fear God and give him glory, because the hour of his judgment has come, and worship him who made heaven and earth, the sea and the springs of water.’ ”2

The angel’s message is called an “everlasting gospel,” but it does not seem like that to many readers. There is no mention of grace, faith, hope, love, forgiveness, salvation, or the cross. How can this message be called gospel when it does not contain the words we typically associate with the New Testament message of salvation? The problem resides in our presumption of how to describe the gospel message. We are used to Paul’s depiction of righteousness by faith, reconciliation to the Father through the Lord Jesus, and the story of the cross as depicted in the Gospels.

But another way the gospel message is depicted comes from Jesus Himself. In Mark 1:14, 15 we meet Jesus’ message just after His baptism. “Now after John was arrested, Jesus came into Galilee, proclaiming the gospel of God, and saying, ‘The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand;repent and believe in the gospel.’ ” Jesus’ straightforward gospel message here has three parts: the fulfillment of Bible prophecy (here the fulfillment of the coming of the Messiah foretold in Daniel 9:24-27), a covenant promise (the kingdom of God is at hand), and a call to discipleship (repent and believe).3

We see these same three elements in the first angel’s message: the fulfillment of Bible prophecy (here the hour of judgment as prophesied in Daniel 7-8), a covenant promise (the receiving of the kingdom by God’s people in the judgment [see Dan. 7:22]), and a call to discipleship (fear, glorify, and worship God as rooted in the judgment message and God as Creator).4 Thus, the first angel’s message parallels Jesus’ preaching. Jesus proclaimed God’s kingdom at the initiation of the New Testament church; Revelation proclaims the kingdom’s fulfillment at the culmination of earth’s history.

Where Jesus’ preaching called for discipleship in the setting of the Mediterranean world of His day, the first angel’s message calls for discipleship in the setting of the end-time conflict between good and evil. Fear God, not the beasts. Glorify God, not men or evil forces. Worship God alone, not the beasts or their image. So the first angel’s message truly is a gospel message in the setting of the last days of earth’s history. But what about messages two and three?

False worship leads to false ethics.

Why Such Frightening Language?

In light of Jesus’ message we can see that the first angel preaches the gospel in an end-time setting. But messages two and three—the fall of Babylon and the wrath of God on false worshippers—seem to many to be out of step with God’s love for all. How can the God who expresses His great love in John 3:16 (“For God so loved the world,that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life”) be the same God who promises fiery destruction to worshippers of the beast in Revelation 14? The language is stark in Revelation 14:9-11: “If anyone worships the beast and its image and receives a mark on his forehead or on his hand, he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and in the presence of the Lamb. And the smoke of their torment goes up forever and ever, and they have no rest, day or night, these worshipers of the beast and its image, and whoever receives the mark of its name.”

What does this all mean?

The Beast: Its Image and Mark

The beast described in the third angel’s message is the sea beast of Revelation 13. A careful study of chapter 13 reveals that the sea beast is the antichrist power that deceives the world, leading people astray from the worship of the true God. More than that, the sea beast and its ally, the land beast (the anti-Holy Spirit in Revelation’s theology), threaten persecution and death for anyone who does not worship the sea beast.5 This concept of worship stands at the heart of the conflict in Revelation. Two sides are drawn: worshippers of the beast versus worshippers of God.

The image of the beast is reminiscent of Nebuchadnezzar’s great golden image in Daniel 3. There everyone was commanded to worship the image representing Nebuchadnezzar’s authority and worldview or face torturous death in a fiery furnace. Three brave young men resisted the king’s demand and miraculously survived the furnace by God’s power. The image of the beast in Revelation 13 therefore represents the authority and worldview of the antichrist power and his allies in defiance of God. Bend to this system or face certain death.

The mark of the beast is simply an emblem of submission to the sea beast’s demands. Since Revelation is by and large a symbolic book, we should not consider the mark some sort of tattoo on a person, but it is an indication the individual has agreed to the beast’s demands either wholeheartedly (a mark on the forehead) or at least in outward actions (a mark of the hand).

The Wine of God’s Wrath

We return to that stark language in Revelation 14:9-11. We can phrase the question a bit differently. Why would God threaten worshippers of the beast with fire and brimstone? What is so very bad about worshipping the beast? It is a principle of our nature that we become like that which we admire. Fans of movie stars or sports heroes will dress like them, talk like them, even act like them. At a higher level we become like that which we worship. Worship the beast, and you will come to think and act like the beast.

Since the beast is antichrist, you come to act in the opposite way that Christ acts. Where Christ loves, you hate. Where He shows compassion to the downtrodden, you show indifference to those who suffer. Where Christ is moral, faithful, abounding in goodness and truth, you become immoral, disloyal, full of evil, hate, and lies. It is a serious thing to worship the beast. Indeed, all the evil, crime, war, abuse, lies, and hatred we see in the world are only symptoms of the true underlying problem—false worship, idolatry. False worship leads to false ethics (mistreating people).

So why would God respond to all this with the wine of His wrath? Suppose you witness an act of egregious abuse and profound injustice. Should it not be addressed? To leave abuse and injustice unaddressed would itself be unjust.

God cannot allow the abuse of the antichrist to continue in our world. Like a compassionate surgeon, He will cut out the cancer that is destroying our world. Sin is that cancer. The first angel’s message points to the solution that God offers to a sin-sick world—turn back to God. Center your life in Him to find true happiness, true moral worth, true meaning, true worship, and compassionate treatment of others. Otherwise, the cancer of sin will consume your life and ruin your relationships. It is that simple and direct.

The Other Angels

There are actually more than three angels in Revelation 14. Three more appear in the last half of the chapter. The turning point of the chapter, and of the book, is Revelation 14:14.6 “Then I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and seated on the cloud one like a son of man, with a golden crown on his head, and a sharp sickle in his hand.” This is the second coming of Christ on the clouds of glory to redeem His people. Where up to this point in Revelation there has been a movement into God’s heavenly sanctuary, from this point onward the movement is outward. Revelation 14:15 states, “And another angel came out of the temple, calling with a loud voice to him who sat on the cloud, ‘Put in your sickle, and reap, for the hour to reap has come, for the harvest of the earth is fully ripe.’” Symbolically, the sickle in Jesus’ hand is a sickle of salvation as He reaps the ripened grain of the earth. Grain is saved, stored in a barn, thus this harvest is a symbol of salvation. These actions are parallel to the first angel’s message of gospel of salvation.

In the rest of Revelation 14 two more angels are involved in the symbolic grape harvest of the earth. Grapes are crushed when harvested, and out flows something the color of blood—a symbol of damnation, the destruction of the wicked. These two angels parallel the second and third angels’ messages, which depict the opposite of the message of salvation the first angel brings.

Conclusion

Revelation 14:6-12 give us the message of warning to the world just before Christ returns, a message of salvation and destruction, a call to discipleship to turn back to God or face the sure result of eternal loss, not because God is mean and unloving, but because false worship will destroy your life, and God will not allow the evil, hatred, pain, and sorrow to continue.

Revelation 14:14-20 show us the fulfillment of that warning message in verses 6-12. Two harvests are coming, the harvest of salvation and the harvest of destruction. God wants you and me, our neighbors, our towns, cities, and countries, to heed the warning and be saved. This is our great mission to share with the whole world.

1 Scholars have various ideas about the outline and center of Revelation. G. K. Beale has a long discussion of the outline in his commentary, and one of the outlines he favors is seven visions with a prologue and epilogue. See G. K. Beale, The Book of Revelation NIGTC (Grand Rapids, Mich.: Eerdmans, 1999), pp. 108-151. See also Ranko Stefanovic, Revelation of Jesus Christ, 2nd ed. (Berrien Springs, Mich.: Andrews University Press, 2009), pp. 24-50. Stefanovic favors a chiastic structure with the vision of chapters 12-13 at the center. I favor chapters 12-14 as the central vision, with the turning point at 14:14, marked by the shift to leaving the heavenly sanctuary after that point.

3 Daniel 9:24-27 describes the coming of the Messiah and pinpoints the time frame from “the going out of the word to restore and build Jerusalem.” The final decree to restore Jerusalem was given in 457 B.C. In the prophecy the coming of the Messiah would be 69 prophetic weeks later, or 483 literal years, which reaches to A.D. 27, the very time Christ was baptized, anointed with the Holy Spirit, and began His ministry (see Mark 1:9-11; Acts 10:38).

4 Daniel 7 presents God’s judgment on evil earthly powers. Daniel 8 presents the parallel cleansing of the heavenly sanctuary and the time frame for it to occur, the 2,300 evenings and mornings prophecy. With the beginning of that time frame set by Daniel 9, the coming of the Messiah, the start of the judgment reaches to 1844.

5 The sea beast in history is Rome in its Christian phase and the land beast is the United States of America working in coordination with the sea beast. See C. Mervyn Maxwell, God Cares (Boise, Idaho: Pacific Press Pub. Assn., 1985), vol. 2, pp. 324-349.

6 Revelation begins with a vision of Jesus walking among the candlesticks in the holy place of the heavenly sanctuary (Rev. 1:12, 13). As the visions progress, movement proceeds inward into the heavenly sanctuary, culminating with Revelation 11:19, with a view of the ark of the covenant in the most holy place. From Revelation 14:15 onward, movement is outward from the most holy place, representing judgment.

Our Forgiving God.

There is a good reason it has been nicknamed “The River of No Return.” The treacherous Salmon River flows through 425 miles of rugged terrain in central Idaho, with a watershed of 14,000 square miles. Between its headwaters and confluence with the Snake River, it drops a whopping 7,000 feet. The magnificent granite-walled canyons are deeper than the Grand Canyon. The river’s average discharge is over 11,000 cubic feet per second!

When Lewis and Clark first crossed the continental divide in 1805, they ventured down to look at the Salmon River for an easier route west but immediately realized it was too rough to navigate. Early explorers could raft down the river, but they could not return upstream because of the tremendous current. It was a one-way trip with no return.

Many have viewed the God of the Old Testament in the same way— treacherous and without mercy. If you step over the wrong line just once, you are sent on a one-way trip with no return. God has been viewed as harsh, vengeful, and unforgiving. Yet a closer look at the Hebrew Bible reveals otherwise.

David—the man who committed the double sins of adultery and murder—often cried out, “Have mercy upon me, O God” (Psalm 51:1). He believed that God—of the Old Testament—was merciful and forgiving. “As the heavens are high above the earth, so great is His mercy toward those who fear Him; as far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us” (Psalm 103:11, 12).

David saw the most forgiving river in the universe that flowed from the throne of God. “There is a river whose streams shall make glad the city of God” (Psalm 46:4). Though we may fail, God offers to forgive us and invites us to return to Him. When we do, only our sins take a one-way trip, never to be seen again.

Key Bible Texts
Therefore say thou unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Turn ye unto me, saith the LORD of hosts, and I will turn unto you, saith the LORD of hosts. (Zechariah 1:3 KJV)

Kathryn Kuhlman: How to Be Filled and Controlled By the Holy Spirit.
It was on July 4, 1948 that the first Kathryn Kuhlman “miracle service” was held at Carnegie Hall, North Side – the first of many such services to be held regularly over the years of her ministry in Pittsburgh. Kathryn Kuhlman moved from Franklin, Pennsylvania to Pittsburgh, after the roof of Faith Temple in Sugar Creek (where she had been conducting services since l947) fell in under the weight of the greatest snowfall in area history on Thanksgiving Day, l950.
And it was in l954 that she founded The Kathryn Kuhlman Foundation.
Kathryn Kuhlman was once asked, “What do you regard as the ultimate goal of your ministry?” To which she replied: “MY PURPOSE IS THE SALVATION OF SOULS. Divine healing is secondary to the transformation of a life.
Kathryn Kuhlman was born-again at the age of fourteen in the Methodist Church of Concordia, Missouri. In her own words, she said of that experience and her ministry: “It was the beginning of something that changed my whole life.? All that I knew was the glorious new birth experience, and (as a young girl) when I went to preach to those farmers in Idaho, I could tell them nothing more than what I had experienced: that Jesus would forgive their sins. So, I preached salvation all across Idaho to every farmer, to everyone who would listen; but gradually I began to realize there was someone besides the Father and the Son – there was this Third Person of the Trinity. I felt compelled to know more regarding Him and, as I began searching and studying God’s Word, I could see that divine healing also was in the atonement.”
“It was in Franklin, Pennsylvania in the old Billy Sunday Tabernacle. I had gone to Franklin by faith (l946), not knowing what I would find there.
It was in the third service, as I was preaching on the Holy Spirit, sharing with the people the little that I knew about that Third Person of the Trinity – a woman stood up and testified to her healing of a tumor. That was the first healing that took place in this ministry. It happened without the laying on of hands, without any special prayer; it just happened as a woman sat in the audience while I was preaching on the power of the Holy Spirit. Since that time, there have been thousands and thousands of healings.
WHAT IS THE SECRET?
It is the Third Person of the Trinity – the Holy Spirit!”
Kathryn Kuhlman always pointed men and women to Jesus, emphasizing that the greatest miracle was the transformation of a life. She often said:
“I believe in miracles with every atom of my being… because I believe in God – but Kathryn Kuhlman has nothing to do with the healing of sick bodies.? I have no healing power. It’s the power of God that does the healing.
The only part I have in it is making Jesus real to the hearts of men and women. Any results there might be in this life of mine, is not Kathryn Kuhlman. It’s the Holy Spirit;
IT’S WHAT THE HOLY SPIRIT DOES THROUGH A YIELDED VESSEL.”

DON'T DESPISE YOUR SMALL BEGINNING. ( Kathryn Kuhlman )
In those early years I would wait until the farmers were finished with their milking, their plowing, their harvesting, before I held my meetings. When it was dark they would file in one by one for the services. I have preached in almost every little crossroad town in Idaho: Emmett, Filer, Caldwell. Nobody really wanted me, and I did not blame them much, but I offered my services anyway. Where the churches were closed, where they had no preacher, there is where I went and I would say, “Your church is closed and you have nothing to lose and you might gain something if you allow me to preach.”
That was the start of my spiritual education. Today it seems that so many young folks want to begin at the top rung of the ladder—with instant fame or as a celebrity. I know where I began, from whence I have come, and I shall never forget it.
