Tell the Cats to Turn Around
We despise people who challenge our cherished myths and kick us out of our
comfort zones. The truth is that when Jesus sets about the task of saving
us, he has to heal us of any myth or prejudice that is contrary to the
spirit of Christ. Billy Sunday was the Billy Graham of a previous
generation. He was conducting a crusade in a particular city. In one of
his sermons he said something critical of the labor conditions for workers
in that area. After the service, several prominent businessmen sent a
message to him by one of the local pastors. The message was this—Billy,
leave labor matters alone. Concentrate on getting people saved. Stay away
from political issues. You’re rubbing the fur the wrong way.” Billy Sunday
sent this message back to them: “If I’m rubbing the fur the wrong way,
tell the cats to turn around.”

Meaning of Baptism
Those who are baptized in Jesus do not need to strive after a new life.
They have already attained new life through dying with Christ. But they do
need to nurture that new life so it can grow and mature. That’s what
church is for. That’s what Bible study is for. That’s what prayer is for.
It is like the Parable of the Sower. Many of those seeds sprouted up, but
only a few grew into maturity. The rest withered and died.

Stay Focused!
We sometimes miss the great opportunities of life because we get
sidetracked. I once heard the tale of a talented and gifted bloodhound in
England that started a hunt by chasing a full-grown male deer. During the
chase a fox crossed his path, so he began now to chase the fox. A rabbit
crossed his hunting path, so he began to chase the rabbit. After chasing
the rabbit for a while, a tiny field mouse crossed his path, and he chased
the mouse to the corner of a farmer’s barn. The bloodhound had begun the
hunt chasing a prized male deer for his master and wound up barking at a
tiny mouse. It is a rare human being who can do three or four different
things at a time–moving in different directions.
