Therefore prepare your minds for action; discipline yourselves; set all your hope on
the grace that Jesus Christ will bring you when he is revealed.
Since then, Bill has advanced to the point where he now holds the world's record for doing
nothing. On one occasion, he stood motionless for ten hours and six minutes to earn his place in
the GUINESS BOOK OF WORLD RECORDS.
There is a lot of nothingness going on in our world and in the church. Our call, as God's
people, is to action.
Ron Newhouse
(1 Peter 1:13
NRSV)
When Bill Fuqua was fourteen-years-old, he decided to stand utterly motionless for a long period
of time in a public place--just to see what type of reactions he'd get. His curiosity definitely paid
off. One lady, for example, walked by him, stared, then touched him. When her action brought no
response, she actually remarked, "Oh, I thought it was a real person!"
Dear Jesus, when salvation was needed, you were put into action. Salvation is still needed today.
May I be a team player in sharing your witness of God's love. Amen.
