Every adult has a credit
rating. That rating is based upon us
doing what we say we will do. If we fail
to do what we have promised, our credit rating drops. As a result, others will not extend credit to
us because our word is not good. We have
no credibility.
Credibility is invaluable to the
believer. If people do not believe our
message because of a lack of credibility, we become weak in our witness.
There is a tale told of that great
English actor Macready. An eminent
preacher once said to him: “I wish you would explain something to me.”
“Well, what is it? I don’t know that I can explain anything to a
preacher.”
“What is the reason for the difference between
you and me? You are appearing before
crowds night after night with fiction, and the crowds come wherever you
go. I am preaching the essential and
unchangeable truth, and I am not getting any crowd at all.”
Macready’s answer was this: “This is quite
simple. I can tell you the difference
between us. I present my fiction as
though it were truth; you present your truth as though it were fiction.”
