The great opera singer Pavarotti held a concert in the
United States late 1992. As he was singing, his voice cracked. When this
happened people stood up and booed. One reporter said he felt that if the people
would have had tomatoes, they would have thrown them. People felt the right to
boo, especially since they had paid $1,200 per seat!
I guess that's the way it is with church people in some of
the big churches these days. They pay their pastors so much that he’d better
not make any mistakes, especially in a sermon. Better not preach any duds!
Missionaries on furlough, however, do not have to worry as they don't get much
salary at all.
We as missionaries may get beaten, and rocks thrown at us
but at least we don't need to worry about thrown tomatoes on furlough!
