A few years ago a certain pastor was sick on a Sunday morning. That hadn’t happened for a number of years. He tried to hold my head up long enough to watch a little religious television that morning. A local congregation had a program and their special speaker that day was Oliver North. What he caught of the program was interesting to say the least. After the service concluded the local news media interviewed the local preacher. They asked him, “How could you have such a controversial figure speak in your church?” “Listen,” the preacher said, “if controversy were the basis for choosing speakers for our church then Jesus Christ couldn’t speak here.”
