Early this morning Andy Bryan died from a massive heart attack. He was in his 35th year of Christian service, many of those years as a full-time evangelist. He was my friend. I was there the night he surrendered to the call of full-time evangelism. We prayed on our faces in a Sunday School room following a revival service at Bethlehem Baptist Church in 1987. It was a special moment that I still remember vividly. Below is something I've heard Andy say many times, and it is on his website today.
THE NEXT TIME YOU FEEL LIKE GOD CAN'T USE YOU REMEMBER THIS:
NOAH WAS A DRUNK,
ABRAHAM WAS TOO OLD,
ISAAC WAS A DAYDREAMER,
JACOB WAS A LIAR,
LEAH WAS UGLY,
JOSEPH WAS ABUSED,
MOSES HAD A STUTTERING PROBLEM,
GIDEON WAS AFRAID,
SAMSON HAD LONG HAIR AND WAS A WOMANIZER,
RAHAB WAS A PROSTITUTE,
JEREMIAH AND TIMOTHY WERE TOO YOUNG,
DAVID HAD AN AFFAIR AND WAS A MURDERER,
ELIJAH WAS SUICIDAL,
ISAIAH PREACHED NAKED,
JONAH RAN FROM GOD,
NAOMI WAS A WIDOW,
JOB WENT BANKRUPT,
PETER DENIED CHRIST,
THE DISCIPLES FELL ASLEEP WHILE PRAYING,
MARTHA WORRIED ABOUT EVERYTHING,
MARY MAGDALENE WAS ( WELL YOU KNOW),
THE SAMARITAN WOMAN WAS DIVORCED MORE THAN ONCE,
ZACCHEUS WAS TOO SMALL,
PAUL WAS TOO RELIGIOUS,
TIMOTHY HAD AN ULCER,
AND LAZARUS WAS DEAD!
What's your excuse?
