I was about five. My father took me with him to the grocery store. There was a black woman shopping (She was the only black person in town, the servant to two old sisters.) I had never seen a black person before and stood looking at her curiously. My father came over and pulled me aside and said, "Stop staring at her. She's the same as you." Those two short sentences influenced the rest of my life as I preached and worked for racial equality.
Jesus said that the Reign of God is like a tiny mustard seed that grows into a large tree.
