FIFTEEN MINUTES OF FAME

(These thoughts are added to each day. Scroll down and read previous One A Days.)

There was a man named Rollen Stewart who developed a novel idea to constantly receive what Andy Warhol called his fifteen minutes of fame. He would attend major sporting events and then at the right time jump in front of a TV camera wearing an oversized, rainbow-colored wig. This was his goal in life, to shine the spotlight of public attention on himself. To try to make his name, Rollen Stewart, a household name.

And then one day he was converted. His personality did not change. He did not sell his oversized, rainbow-colored wig. He just added something. Now he appeared at not just sporting events but anywhere and everywhere, even appearing in the crowd during the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Di, where he duly leaped in front of a TV camera wearing his oversized, rainbow-colored wig…along with holding a sign that read “John 3:16.”

He got himself thrown out of any number of events. He was arrested, and while in jail his followers continued his placard-raising ministry. Not everyone understood. At one football game a man looked very perplexed as he was being surround by signs that read “John 3:16” “What is this John 3:16 thing?” he asked. And that the shame of the matter. He had no idea. He had no idea, but he may well have gone looking for an answer and that is the point of Mr. Stewart’s rather bizarre actions. The Lord works in strange and wonderful ways to make Himself known to his wandering children.

I’m obviously not suggesting that you wear outlandish wigs and jump in front of TV cameras but that isn’t the point, is it? The point is that when Rollen Stewart learned about the love of God he was overwhelmed. And he couldn’t keep quiet about it. And overwhelming the world with placards that read “John 3:16” made perfect sense to him.

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
