There
was a man who came to this village and he sat down with the villagers by the
river and began to eat, when all of a sudden, this large crocodile came out of
the water and bit his arm off. The man was horrified along with the villagers.
They gave him aid and then went about their business.
The
man was upset the people didn’t talk about it, to try to resolve the problem.
He found out the tribe thought it was impolite to talk about such matters.
He
also noticed many people in the village were missing fingers, toes, hands, and
some had died; but the tribe refused to talk about such matters even though
there was so much destruction taking place.
SXX
– we don’t talk about it in church. Do we talk about it in the home (show of
hands – those learned about it at home)? Trying to talk about it in the
schools. People have been hurt, wounded, and devastated; but the churches
refuse to talk about it because it’s not polite, even though we have in the
Bible the Song of Songs.
