Tell the Cats to Turn Around
We despise people who challenge our cherished myths and kick us out of our comfort zones. The truth
is that when Jesus sets about the task of saving us, he has to heal us of any myth or prejudice that is
contrary to the spirit of Christ. Billy Sunday was the Billy Graham of a previous generation. He was
conducting a crusade in a particular city. In one of his sermons he said something critical of the labor
conditions for workers in that area. After the service, several prominent businessmen sent a message to
him by one of the local pastors. The message was this---Billy, leave labor matters alone. Concentrate on
getting people saved. Stay away from political issues. Youre rubbing the fur the wrong way." Billy
Sunday sent this message back to them: "If Im rubbing the fur the wrong way, tell the cats to turn
around."
Bill Bouknight, Collected Sermons, Sermons.com

Maybe youve heard about the preacher who was visiting various classes during the Sunday School
Hour to see how they were doing. One Sunday he visited the class of 6th grade boys. They were talking
about things in the O.T.
He listened for a while & then asked, Who knows who knocked down the walls of Jericho? Two boys
answered, Preacher, we dont know who, but we sure didnt do it.
Surprised by their lack of Bible knowledge, he turned to the teacher & asked, What do you think of
that answer? The teacher replied, Well, Ive known them since they were little, & theyve always
been honest. If they said they didnt do it, I believe them.
Dismayed, he went out into the hallway & saw the chairman of the church board. He told him, I was
just in the 6th grade boys class & asked who knocked down the walls of Jericho. Two boys held up
their hands & said, We didnt do it, preacher. And the teacher told me that if they said they didnt do
it, he believed them.
The chairman of the board interrupted him & said, Preacher, lets not fuss about who did what. Well
just fix the walls & pay for it out of the General Fund.
