The Push

 

Recently, Father Jerry spoke of how he and Father Chuck Owens each had encounters with the Rev. Billy Graham.  It made me recall how on one Saturday night I watched Mr. Graham on TV and in closing he said for us to go to church on Sunday morning. If we did not have a church, he implored us to find one.

 

As always the beautiful hymn "Just As I Am" was played, and I wept thinking of how negligent I had become about going to church every Sunday. 

 

The next morning, I went to church, and I have been going every Sunday morning since, unless sickness or some other very good reason kept me from it.  I think a great deal of the Rev. Billy Graham and thank him for giving me "the push" I needed to become more faithful to my church.

If you are serving in the background while others are out front getting the credit, don't despair. Study Paul's situation, and you'll find yourself in good company: that of a selfless saint committed to serving above all else.
Read Philippians 1:12-18—Arrested for spreading the gospel and thrown into prison, other preachers capitalized on Paul's circumstances to make a name for themselves, among the churches. But Paul didn't care as long as the Gospel was getting out.

The voice of humility is God's music, and the silence of humility is God's rhetoric.
