WELCOME

JUST CALL ME - " CAS "

ONE DAY AS I WAS STUDYING THE WORD OF GOD,
THE TELEPHONE RANG; AND MY WIFE BEING
CLOSER TO IT, ANSWERED IT. AFTER A FEW MOMENTS SHE TOLD ME THAT I WAS WANTED ON THE PHONE. NORMALLY WHEN I ANSWER THE TELEPHONE, I GREET THE PERSON WITH SOME FORM OF PHRASE HONORING THE LORD. IN THIS CASE I DID AS NORMAL AND THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END OF THE LINE PROCEEDED TO ASK ME A QUESTION AFTER WE HAD GOTTEN PAST THE FORMALITIES. THE PERSON I WAS SPEAKING TO WAS A SALESMAN. THE QUESTION HE ASKED ME WAS, " WHAT ARE YOU, A PASTOR?" I IN TURN ANSWERED THE QUESTION WITH THE SHORT PHRASE, " I AM A MINISTER, A MINISTER OF THE GOSPEL OF THE LORD JESUS CHRIST."

THE NEXT DAY AS I RECALLED THE CONVERSATION, I BEGAN TO THINK ABOUT THE ANSWER THAT I HAD GIVEN THE MAN. I TRIED TO UNDERSTAND WHY I HAD SAID WHAT I DID AND I WONDERED WHAT THE LORD INTENDED FOR ME TO SAY IN REPLY TO SUCH A QUESTION. I ASKED THE LORD, " LORD, WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE ME TO SAY WHEN I AM ASKED WHAT I AM, IN REGARDS TO AN INDIVIDUAL WHO DETECTS THAT I AM A CHRISTIAN?" THE ANSWER THAT I RECEIVED WAS NOT AN ANSWER THAT I WAS EXPECTING, AND I MUST SAY THAT I WAS CAUGHT COMPLETELY OFF GUARD. HE ANSWERED ME, " I WANT YOU TO TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE AN ATHLETIC SUPPORTER." I SAID, " AN ATHLETIC SUPPORTER?" I WAS COMPLETELY SURPRISED AND SHOCKED AT SUCH AN ANSWER. MOST PEOPLE WOULD SAY THAT SUCH AN ANSWER COULD NOT BE FROM THE LORD. HE SAID," YES,TELL THEM THAT YOU ARE AN ATHLETIC SUPPORTER."

HE PROCEEDED TO EXPLAIN TO ME HOW SO MANY CHRISTIANS SUFFER SO MANY PROBLEMS AND ARE CONTINUALLY HELD IN BONDAGE. FOR ONE REASON OR ANOTHER THEY CAN'T SEEM TO FIND THE WAY TO BE FREED FROM SUCH PROBLEMS. UNTIL THEY BEGIN TO TRUST IN ME AND CAST AWAY ALL THEIR FEARS, THEY WILL NOT KNOW WHAT FAITH IS. I KEEP TELLING THEM THAT THEY NEED TO EXERCISE THEIR FAITH, AND I KEEP ASKING THEM TO BE WILLING TO HELP OTHERS. THIS EXPLAINS WHAT I HAVE TOLD YOU TO BE. WHEN YOU SEE OTHERS WHO ARE IN SOME FORM OF TROUBLE AND ARE IN NEED OF COMFORT; I WANT YOU TO BE THERE FOR THEM, SUPPORTING THEM, AND HELPING THEM TO FIND THEIR WAY BY SPEAKING MY WORDS I'VE COMMANDED YOU THAT THEY MIGHT COME TO KNOW WHAT FAITH IS AND BEGIN TO EXERCISE IT THEMSELVES.

I REJOICED AT THE FACT THAT THE LORD DOES HAVE A SENSE OF HUMOR AND NOW I PREFER TO HONOR THE LORD BY BEING CALLED A CHRISTIAN ATHLETIC SUPPORTER. I HOPE AND PRAY THAT EVERY OPPORTUNITY THE LORD GIVES ME, THAT I MIGHT NOT FAIL HIM AND PROVIDE THAT MUCH NEEDED SUPPORT TO THOSE WHO ARE TRYING TO ALSO EXERCISE THEIR FAITH. OF COURSE WE ALL ACTUALLY ARE TO BE ATHLETIC SUPPORTERS IN A MANNER OF SPEAKING.
