When Dr. Pierce Harris of First Methodist Church, Atlanta, Georgia, spoke recently at a prison work camp, the prisoner introducing him recalled earlier days of association with the preacher.
"Many years ago," he said, "two boys lived in
the same community in north Georgia & attended the same school, played with
the same bunch of fellows, and went to the same Sunday School.
One of them dropped out of Sunday School because he
felt he had outgrown it. The other boy kept on going because he felt that it
really meant something in his life.
The boy who dropped out is the one who is making this
introduction today. The boy who kept going to Sunday School is the famous
preacher who will preach to us this morning."

Heb 10:25 (TLB): “Let us not neglect our church meetings, as
some people do, but encourage and warn each other, especially now that the day
of his coming back again is drawing near.”
“All over this nation, all over this world there are people
going to church today and they say they are believers, but until you can take
what you've been taught and bring it to the place you gave up - you will never
be the radical believer that you need to be for the times in which we live.”
- T.D. Jakes.
