For All Who Believes (1 of 26)
Series: How the Church ACTS
Jordan Easley
Acts 10:34-48
One of my favorite authors of all time is... Dr. Seuss. He wrote so many incredible books that we consider classics today:
- ''The Cat in the Hat''
- ''Green Eggs and Ham''
- ''The Lorax''
- ''Horton Hears a Who''
- ''Oh, the Places You'll Go''
- ''The Grinch stole Christmas''
Dr. Seuss wrote many books that sold many copies, but believe it or not, one of my favorite books that he ever wrote was one called, ''The Sneetches.'' Do you remember that book? The Sneeches were tall, yellow creatures who lived on beaches...
In this story... the creatures are divided into two groups: one group had green stars on their bellies, and the other group didn't have green stars. The green star Sneeches made up the 'IN-crowd.' This exclusive group would build campfires and sing songs... while the other group (without green stars) wouldn't be included at all. They were outsiders. They were different.
But as the story continues, Dr. Seuss introduces the reader to a character named, ''Sylvester McMonkey McBean.'' He comes to town and introduces everyone to a revolutionary piece of machinery called the ''Star-ON Machine.''
And now, for just $3-Sneeches without stars could get a green star on their belly. Well, naturally, all the NO-star Sneeches were jumping at this chance. On the other hand, the In-crowd Sneeches were upset because they would no longer be the only ones with stars. They'd no longer be distinct.
But Sylvester McMonkey McBean had one more surprise up his sleeve. He also had a ''Star-OFF Machine'' and for just $10-those who were identified as a part of the 'IN-crowd' could now have their star removed... so they could still be identified as an exclusive group...
This back and forth continues until finally, Dr. Seuss makes this statement. He said, ''Neither the Plain nor the Star-Bellies knew whether this one was that one or that one was this one or whic ...
