And a pastor called me one day and he said, I have a real problem in our community up here in New England.
I said, what's the matter? He said, well, they're passing laws to stop us from handing out gospel tracts and witnessing.
and they're blatantly unconstitutional and he said they passed this law to stop me and i said no no don't take it personal i said they're doing it everywhere it's not against you he said no no they passed this to stop me i said what makes you think that he said well when they passed the law they turned around and said my name and they said this is to stop him He said, now when they say your name, it's a little hard not to take it personal.
And I want to tell you, I thought, wow, I believe him, but that's hard to imagine.
I said, let me call the lawyers that were involved, and we did.
We get them all on the phone, and I said, this preacher thinks that you passed this law to stop him.
You know what the lawyer said? We did.
I said, you can't do that.
He said, I know, and you're going to come up here and get it overturned, but we're just trying to slow him down.
They said, do you know this guy? I said, no.
They said, Mr. Gibbs, I'll never forget these words.
They said, he is like Superman on steroids.
I said, what do you mean? They said, you know these little pieces of paper that churches want to give you to tell you how to be saved? Are you familiar with those? I said, yeah, I'm familiar with those.
He said, do you know how many of those little pieces of paper he hands out every day? I said, no.
He said, like 400.
I said, 400.
He said, before he came here, we were happy.
This is a quote.
He said, we all thought we were going to heaven.
And this guy's got everybody worried about whether they're going.
And he said, I don't know how to tell you this, but the Catholic priest in our town got what you call saved.
And now it's got everybody like shook up.
That lawyer said, I don't know how to tell you this, but he has a power.
Boy, I called that pastor.
