All all the post I have read in this board, this is one of the best.Thanks for your mercy and compassion for Perry. Hope others will do the same. I well remember times that I was vulnerable but only by GRACE I did not go there________________Recorded Sermons @ http://www.pastorwiley.com
**Eddie and I have been friends for many years. I was his Counselor in Youth Camp. Have loved Eddie ever since. In my opinion, Eddie is one of the great people I know. I wish everybody had a friend like Eddie. If you do, you are blessed.As far as I know, Perry has never been a King, but I sure do like him personally and have a high opinion of how the Lord used him to reach and bless so many people. Please Lord, bestow some of that outreach anointing on all of us.A minister made some tragic mistakes in his life that hurt some people. A fellow minister went to visit him in prison. Another preacher castigated him for making the visit. How could you even take the time to visit that guy after what he did, the critic harshly demanded.
Great thread, Doyle!This reminds of a scene on The West Wing that I saw recently. (Bear with me…)One coworker in the White House has been through a trauma (Josh) and another coworker (Leo), a recovering alcoholic, relates this story to him…Guy falls in a hole…A priest walks by and the Guy hollers out, Help! I’ve fallen in a hole! Can you help me? The priest writes out a prayer and drops it in the hole and keeps going.A doctor walks by the hole. Guy calls out, Help! I’ve fallen in a hole! Can you help me? The doctor writes out a prescription and drops it in the hole and keeps going.A friend walks by, and the guy hollers out, Help! I’ve fallen in a hole. Can you help me? The friend jumps in the hole with him, and the Guy in the Hole says, What??? Are you stupid?Friend says, I’ve been here before. I know the way out! Made me cry both times I watched it. It’s our job to help people out of the hole, but sometimes you have to get a little dirty to do that________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
Why are we so quick to abandon our own? Perry has been used mightily. He was our night speaker in the Bayouland Campmeeting, Houma, La, that I began while pastoring there. Pam was a member of the Northport Choir when Margaret & I was their director. I know none of the scholars burying him now are at all acquaintied with Galatians 6:1
Of course, Doyle! I love that story…it really spoke to me! (You don’t have to credit me.________________More of Him…less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name
