All Rodney wanted when he entered the supermarket was a watermelon. But what he saw and heard at the produce counter was a lady shaking her finger in another woman's face as she chastised her for not wearing more clothes.
"You need to get saved," she admonished her bewildered listener, "and clean up your act."
Harsh words spewed forth from the speaker's mouth like hot lava pouring out of a volcano's mouth as she accused her dumbfounded listener of inappropriate behavior and made numerous demands she must meet in order to be saved.
Rodney could stand it no longer. "Ma'am." he quietly interrupted. "It's so simple to become a Christian. You don't have to do all those things she's telling you in order to get saved."
"But what do I have to give up?" queried the puzzled woman.
"Nothing," responded Rodney.
"Then what must I do?" she pondered.
"Acts 16:31 says, 'Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved'," quoted Rodney.
By this time a crowd had gathered, but all heads were bowed as Rodney led the woman to a knowledge of saving faith in what Christ had already done on Calvary as her only foundation for salvation.
As Rodney exited the supermarket with his watermelon, the erstwhile accuser, who had earlier stomped out of the store, hissed, "Did you see how she was dressed?"
"Before you can clean a fish," smiled Rodney, "you must first get him into the boat."
