Hello, this is pastor gary from first baptist church of laplata. Do you remember “The Gong Show” from the 1970’s? Much like today’s TV talent shows, it had a panel of three stars who could either hit a gong if they didn’t like the act or could rate the act afterward. The show featured several recurring acts which could not be gonged which included my favorite, “Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine.” The show’s creator and host, Chuck Barris, created several other successful game shows including “The Dating Game” and “The Newlywed Game.” Mr. Barris is back in the news lately—even though he passed away in 2017; it seems that Barris wrote a memoir in 1984 titled, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” in which he claimed to use his crazy game show persona as a cover for his real job: a CIA assassin who took out enemies of the state during the 1960’s and 1970’s. That’s hard for me to believe, but who knows? God knows. God knows everything about everybody. Nothing is hid from Him as Hebrews 4:13 states, “Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight, but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with Whom we have to do.” If you did it, confess it; if you’re guilty, admit it; whatever it is, own it, because the truth will be revealed as Jesus taught in Luke 8:17, “For nothing is secret that shall not be manifest, neither any thing hid that shall not be known and come abroad.”
