Jesus Walked the Walk
 
Remember Jim and Tammy Faye Bakker?  In the name of God, they built up one bodacious empire (including a dog house with air conditioning on their estate).  Preachers with mansions?  It makes no sense.  Proclaiming the kingdom of God on one hand, while amassing power and wealth on the other.
 
Then there was/is Jesus.  Not only did He have the power to cure diseases and kick demons in the rear end, but he had a silver tongue.   Boy, could He preach.  When Jesus spoke, people listened.  He could have passed the plate and made out like a bandit.  But He didn’t.  And that’s one of the many reasons I believe in Him.  He never used His gifts and talents to carve off a slice of the pie or crown himself King Jesus.  He talked the talk and He walked the walk, giving away what He could have sold for a bundle.
 
The point:  Just that this Jesus fellow seems to be the real thing:  No gimmicks, no angles, no games.  Works for me.  I’ll walk with him .. and I’ll try to keep up.  — jri
