If you're a Christian you never have to say a word to anybody.

If people know you're a Christian, you're going to be accused of being self-righteous.

That's why churches compromise the integrity of the message of the scripture because

we know people are afraid of the God who really is.

The Bible tells us that it is the reaction of fallen creatures to flee when no man pursues, that the pagan trembles at the rustling of a leaf.

Tell a story of a friend of mine who was a professional golfer and he was out one afternoon

getting ready to play in a tournament on the tour and on the day before the

tournament started there was a practice round.

And the practice round was made up of a forsome.

The man who was the reigning champion of this particular event who also was the previous

years player of the year and he had three people playing with him in this tournament

he had Jack Nicholas he had the President of the United States, and he had Billy Graham.

So imagine a foursome of Nicholas, the reigning guy, I'm not going to give you his name,

President of the United States, and Billy Grant.

So my friend watched these guys tee off and then he did his practice and then at the end of the day he watched when this foursome finished their round and his buddy the other golfer came off the 18th green and my friend walked up to him and he said tell me what it was like

playing golf with Billy Graham and the guy snapped at and bit his head off. He says, I don't need to have him trying to shove religion down my throat.

And he stormed off and went to the practice tea, got a bucket of balls, took out his driver and started beating those balls to death.

And my friend just patiently stood there and watched him until the guy cooled off.

And he finally said, and he said said did Billy really come on strong to you

in the golf course the guy sighed and put his driver in his bag and he turned to my friend and he said no he said no actually he said

Billy never said I were I just had a bad round.

What's going on there?
