The
Living Bible

This is such a great
example of The Living Bible.
His name is Bill. He has wild hair, wears a
T-shirt with holes in it, jeans, and no shoes. This was literally his
wardrobe for his entire four years of college. He is brilliant. Kind
of profound and very, very bright.
He
became a Christian while attending college. Across the street
from the campus is a well-dressed, very
conservative church.
They want
to develop a ministry to the students but are
not sure how to go about it. One day Bill
decides to go there. He walks in with no
shoes, jeans, his T-shirt, and wild hair. The
service has already started and so Bill starts
down the aisle looking for a seat.
The church is completely packed and he can't
find a seat. By now,
people are really looking a bit uncomfortable,
but no one says
anything. Bill gets closer and closer and
closer to the pulpit, and
when he realizes there are no seats, he just
squats down right on the carpet.

By now the people are really uptight, and the
tension in the air is
thick. About this time, the minister realizes
that from way at the
back of the church, a deacon is slowly making
his way toward Bill.
Now the deacon is in his eighties, has
silver-gray hair, and a three piece suit. A
godly man, very elegant, very dignified, very
courtly.
He walks
with a cane and, as he starts walking toward
this boy, everyone is saying to themselves
that you can't blame him for what he's going
to do.
How can you expect a man of his age and of his
background to understand some college kid on
the floor? It takes a long time for
the man to reach the boy.
The church is utterly silent except for the
clicking of the man's
cane. All eyes are focused on him. You can't
even hear anyone
breathing. The minister can't even preach the
sermon until the deacon does what he has to
do.
And now they see this elderly man drop his
cane on the floor. With great difficulty, he
lowers himself and sits down next to Bill and
worships with him so he won't be alone.
Everyone chokes up with emotion.
When the minister gains control, he says,
"What I'm about to preach, you will never
remember. What you have just seen, you will
never forget."
"Be careful how you live. You may be the only
Bible some people will ever read".
