Dr. William Trice of Baton Rouge Louisiana tells about when a Louisiana State University professor began visiting his church. Dr. Trice then pulled out some of his best doctrinal sermons, presenting them in a superb manner in the hope of winning this choice church prospect into church membership. After about a month of such profound preaching aimed at this learned faculty member, the professor finally presented himself for church membership. 
I don’t know about you, but I hate being made a sucker. I despise political lies of which there are plenty being told these days. Now then, have you ever heard of global warming? In many circles they have already been “Al Gored” by the hysteria of global warming. 
“I used to literally run to the pulpit,” the pastor said. “I couldn’t wait to start preaching the Word of God. I loved my people and I looked forward to every time we met,” he said reflecting. His tone changed when he said, “But then I began to notice that my prayers were becoming empty sounds. I had no awareness of the presence of God. I hated to preach on Sunday. I couldn’t think of anything to say. I had to force myself to get in the pulpit at all.” 
The story is told about three expectant fathers who were nervously waiting and pacing back and forth in the Good Samaritan Hospital as their wives were getting ready to give birth to their first children. These would-be fathers were invited to watch the births, but they were too scared to go into the birthing rooms. 
He most certainly has over the years. God has shed His grace on His daughter – Miss America! Incredibly! Did you ever read history in that fashion and with that perspective? It is really something. Did you ever try to figure it all out militarily without the hand of God upon the land of the free and the home of the brave? 
The late Dr. Francis Schaeffer told the story about his college – Hampden Sidney College in Virginia. He related how one day a revival broke out among the students all over campus. He recalls walking down the hall and someone would say, “I have examined myself and this is what I found – I need Christ!” He would go straight to his knees in the hall. Then someone else nearby would come under personal conviction, kneel to pray, confessing his sins, and crying out to Christ for forgiveness and salvation. 
The people were coming into church as they did from Sunday to Sunday. They were second and third generation confessing Christians. All of them were well-dressed in their Sunday going-to-church best. Only this Sunday, there was a man seated on the church steps that no one had ever seen before. There he was, right by the front entrance. He was dirty; his clothes were disheveled. It looked like he had really fallen on hard times. Maybe he was a homeless person looking for a hand-out. 
David Brainerd was a student at Yale. He would have graduated at the top of his 1724 class. He declared himself to be a Christian. Yale would not graduate him nor would they ordain him. Finally a Scottish mission group commissioned Brainerd to work among the Indians. He was 24 years old. He was placed on the border of Massachusetts and New York, later working in New Jersey and Pennsylvania – only with the Indians. 
Robert C. Morgan in his book Lift High The Cross, tells about an unusual cross that stood one Lenten season in Dallas on the lawn of a local church. The cross, which was more than ten feet high, stirred a great deal of controversy within the congregation as well as throughout the city. Pictures of it were carried by newspapers across the country and by many television stations.
