What happens when you kick the walls out of the box, and you let the light that is inside shine out in all directions? Well, that is sort of what is happening at Point S Tire Town, one of the local businesses here in Benton. For years this highly successful business has employed qualified men from the work release unit at Haskell. Barb and I minister to some of these men in our prison ministry at Haskell, and some other local followers of the Lord Jesus Christ have started a lunch hour Bible study at Tire Town each week with the work release employees. One of the gents wanted to be baptized. With permission from the owners, I was asked to bring my six-foot cattle watering tub that is mounted on a trailer, over to Tire Town today. We baptized the glowing young man who has given his life to the Lord. I say “we,” I did the baptizing, but in company there was the County Judge and others who were all celebrating the changed life and commitment of the young man. And, celebrate we did, with shouts and hugs of joy and victory and videos taken to send to “Momma.” Testimonies were freely shared among us of how some were raised in church, but as events of life took place, they realized that they did not really have a connection with God. Through gut honesty, and by repentance from sin and their estranged state from God, they called on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and surrendered their empty life in exchange for His full life. It was testified of how this resulted in true inward peace, strength, and power, enabling them to overcome the tests of daily life. Once our religion has proven to be insufficient, we can then turn to the Lord for a real relationship with Him. Anyway, there we were, right there on the parking lot of Point S Tire Town “having church” with liberated shouts of joy and victory. This is truly taking the gospel out to where the rubber meets the road! It wasn’t a big production outwardly. It was all squeezed in during the lunch hour. But there were some big personal victories. There were some walls that were kicked out. There was love demonstrated with a bold testimony of what the Lord can do in each one of our lives. Taking Jesus to the workplace, the recreation place, the shopping place, in all places—this is what God desires. Taking Jesus with prayers of blessing, with laying on of hands, with the brotherhood standing with each other in support of one another in the Lord with all boldness and no apology or shame—this is God’s plan. The devil presents his goods with no apology or shame. The followers of Jesus Christ are to kick the walls out of the religious box, and let His loving light shine far and wide. Take Jesus to where the rubber meets the road.
