Acts 16:10ff
11/05/2000
We are coming today to one of my favorite passages in
all of the entire book of Acts. I want to begin
reading with verse 10 and read down through verse 13,
although I want to share with you the cameos of three
tremendous testimonies which arise out of the ministry
of the Apostle Paul in the city of Philippi.
There are many blessings attached to a Billy Graham
Crusade. One of the blessings which has been
especially appealing to my heart through the years is
to hear some of the tremendous testimonies of what
Jesus Christ can do in the human heart. Friday night
Dr. Graham shared again the beautiful testimony of
Stewart Hamlin who wrote the song, "It is No Secret."
That indeed is a tremendous testimony. That's just one
of hundreds of testimonies which could be shared out
of the ministry of Dr. Graham and his crusades.
I'm sure all of you read the story of the mistake that
George W. Bush made 24 years ago. Unfortunately, the
story didn't really get to the tremendous testimony.
Twenty-four years ago he made a mistake. He didn't try
to run from it, he didn't try to wiggle his way out of
it. He didn't say, "It's according to what your
definition of 'is' is. Nor did he say, "There is no
controlling legal authority." Like a man he faced up
to it. He took the penalty for the violation. But what
the papers don't tell you is that sometime later he
married a beautiful young Christian lady who loved him
enough to just tell him the truth about what he needed
to do. Sometime later, Billy Graham led him to
personal faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I've heard
him say, "I have received Jesus Christ as my personal
Savior and He has changed my life."
That's what church is all about. That's what the
Gospel is all about. That's what Jesus is all about.
That's what Christian is all about—a tremendous
