I was watching television this morning and came across one of those televangelists. You know the ones. I kid you not, "...there is a woman sitting in a rocking chair. She has short hair, she's got lumps in her breast, just lay your hand on the television set and you'll be healed." He was wearing a jacket with all kinds of sparkles on it, so many it would have made any country singer proud.
He told the people of his audience, "If you will call, I'll send you a vial of miracle water and you do what I tell you to do and you'll be healed. " Do what I tell you to do!! I'm sorry, first of all, he lost me at the sparkles. I couldn't see Jesus wearing such an outfit. Second, the arrogance to say to do what I say to do.
Sorry. Just one of those days when that stuff rubs me the wrong way! I guess it's because I know of people who are suffering from cancer. The treatments have caused them to lose their hair. Or a friend of mine will have by-pass surgery tomorrow to take care of serious blockage. And then this guy shows up and says, "Do what I say to do." I'm sorry, I want to be like the ones who said, "Sir, we want to see Jesus." Let's continue to look for Him. Have a great day. JW
