Tell The Story
Jerry Watts
John 3:3, 16

Finally, after about 6 months, the driver said to his passenger, "you speak to these huge crowds every night and you get paid big dollars. After hearing this same speech for all these months, I can give the same speech and do it just as good as you, but I make only a portion of the money you make." The engineer responded, "Why don't you give the speech tonight?" The driver agreed. So the engineer drove the Limo to the site and the driver received all the attention. Standing to speak to this college crowd the speech came off in great fashion as the engineer (posing as the driver) listened in a ...
