Rev Bill

Here’s a portion of it:

I am reminded of Mordecai Ham.
Mordecai was an evangelist. In 1934, he conducted a revival meeting in Charlotte, North Carolina. One of the people who came forward was a tall, gangly boy who had just turned sixteen. I don’t know how many other people came forward. I don’t know whether Mordecai felt that he had conducted a successful revival. He may have not remembered that sixteen year old boy very long. But that boy was Billy Graham, who took the light that Mordecai Ham had given him and held it aloft for everyone to see.
Modecai Ham let his light shine.
Billy Graham let his light shine.
Let it shine! Let it shine! Let it shine!

Yesterday’s sermon was based on Matthew 4:12-22 and titled: “The Search Is Over”.

Here’s a portion of it:

A friend tells me that one week at Duke University they had a local businessman who gave a lecture to about 200 students entitled, “My Five Years with a Zen Master.” Two hundred students sat there in rapt attention for two hours, taking notes and nodding in agreement as he talked about the joys of studying Zen Buddhism. Two nights later, a graduate student gave a talk called, “My Semester in a Benedictine Monastery.” Again, about 200 students were in attendance, in rapt attention for over an hour — and they were the same students!
We are a nation of searchers.
Although intellectual curiosity is good, and though the Christian gospels all depict Jesus as inviting people to be on a journey, this image of our long search, our groping for God, is not at all what Christianity is all. It is not what Jesus was all about as the Bible tells it. The Bible is not so much a long record of our search for God; but it is the amazing account of the extraordinary lengths to which God but will go to search for us.
