The Old Rugged Cross


Clarence Jordan, author of the Cotton Patch New Testament translation, was getting a red-carpet tour of another minister's church. With pride the minister pointed to the rich, imported pews and luxurious decorations. As they stepped outside, darkness was falling, and a spotlight shone on a huge cross atop the steeple.

"That cross alone cost us $10,000," the minister said with a satisfied smile.

"You got cheated," said Jordan. "Times were when Christians could get them for free."
