Speaking of [Gm] Baptist deacons, I can tell [Bb] this because I am a Baptist.

But let me say, it doesn't matter to God what we are, as long as we are born again, saved and washed in the blood.
That's all it matters.
Amen.
There was a plane that went down in the Caribbean 20 years ago, and the only one who survived was a Baptist deacon.
He was on a deserted island all by himself for 20 years, no one there but him.
Before the plane went down, when he lived in America, he was a builder, he was a great architect.
That was what his life was all about.
So when he made it to that little island after their plane went down, no one else survived but him.
He was there by himself.
For 20 years, all that he would do was just build.
One day, the U.S. Coast Guard was flying over and he sent up a smoke signal and a helicopter landed.
The commander of the Coast Guard got out of that chopper and ran into the man and said,
Sir, are you in trouble?
Do you need something?
The man said, Yes sir, I have been on this island for 20 years.
I have been here all alone.
Now I am from America and I want to go home.
The pilot said, I will be glad to take you home, but what's all these buildings?
The deacon said, Well, that building over there, that's my house, that's where I live.
The man said, Man, that looks great.
He said, What's that other building right there?
He said, Oh, that's where I go to church, that's where I worship God Sunday morning, Sunday night and Wednesday night.
The man said, Well, sir, that's great.
He looked over clear across the other side of the island and he said, What's that building over there?
That Baptist deacon just turned red in the face and he said, Oh, that's where I used to go to church.
