We had a missionary guest speaker at church yesterday. For a lot of churches, a missionary means a long slide show and quite possibly a sub-par public speaking ability. And whenever you have a guest speaker that can't preach his way out of a wet paper bag, that means job security for the preacher (assuming he can preach in the first place). Right?
Well, throw that out the window when you invite a representative from a Bible College. We had a talented and experienced representative from Ozark Christian College, where apparently even the janitor could step in for Billy Graham, and he spoke for well over two hours combined (two sermons and an hour of Sunday School) with skill and precision.
I really didn't expect anything less from Ozark, but I did get some ribbing for foolishly letting the congregation hear what "a good sermon" sounds like. Hardy, har, har.
I do want to say thanks to brother Hedger and Ozark Christian College for the great work they do and I look forward to the next time they send someone to speak here.
Maybe they'll send the janitor.
