CHANGED LIVES TV
host Merv Griffin was interviewing Charlton Heston on his television program. Heston is, of course, the actor who played the part of Moses in THE TEN COMMANDMENTS and also starred in BEN HUR. Griffin asked Charlton Heston if any of the characters he had portrayed in his religious movies had changed his spiritual outlook. Heston didn’t answer the question directly. He thought a moment and then simply said, “Well, Merv, you can’t walk barefoot down Mount Sinai and be the same person you were when you went up.” That is the real significance and meaning of mountaintop experiences. An authentic mountaintop experience with Christ will always leaves us as changed people. It is an experience that helps us see the world as God sees it, and what God sees is a world in need of love and salvation. From Billy D. Strayhorn, First United Methodist Church, Groesbeck, Texas
