On April 15, 1912, one of the most tragic events in world history occurred – the sinking of the Titanic. One passenger interested me – John Harper. He was a Baptist minister on his way to Chicago to hold a revival meeting at Moody Church. His wife had died and he was accompanied with his 6 year old daughter, Nana, and her nurse. On April 14, the Titanic hit an iceberg and Harper made sure his daughter and her nurse were safely on a lifeboat. As the rear of the huge ship began to lurch upwards, it was reported that Harper was seen making his way up the deck yelling, “Women, children and unsaved into the lifeboats!†It was only minutes later that the Titanic began to rumble deep within. Most people thought it was an explosion; actually the ship was literally breaking in half. At this point, many people jumped off the decks and into the icy, dark waters below. John Harper was one of these people. That night 1,528 people went into the frigid waters. John Harper was seen swimming frantically to people in the water leading them to Jesus before the hypothermia became fatal. Mr. Harper swam up to one young man who had climbed up on a piece of debris. Rev. Harper asked him between breaths, “Are you saved?†The young man replied that he was not. Harper then tried to lead him to Christ only to have the young man who was near shock, reply no. John Harper then took off his life jacket and threw it to the man and said, “Here then, you need this more than I do…†and swam away to other people. A few minutes later Harper swam back to the young man and succeeded in leading him to salvation. Of the 1,528 people that went into the water that night, six were rescued by the lifeboats. One of them was this young man. Four years later, at a survivors meeting, this young man stood up and in tears recounted how that after John Harper had led him to Christ. Mr.Harper had tried to swim back to help other people, yet because of the intense cold, had grown too weak to swim. His last words before going under in the frigid waters were, “Believe on the Name of the Lord Jesus and you will be saved.†This servant of God did what he had to do. While other people were trying to buy their way onto the lifeboats and selfishly trying to save their own lives, John Harper gave up his life so that others could be saved. “Greater love hath no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends…†John Harper was truly the hero of the Titanic!

Today, Denzel is a strong Christian man, but admits there were times, especially in his teen years, that he too did struggle. Like most teens, he rebelled (a little bit) being the son of a preacher and resented being in church as often as he was. “I read from the Bible every day, and I read my Daily Word,†Denzel said, adding that it was not difficult for him to grow up as the son of a preacher. “He [his dad] wasn’t a taskmaster, but there were certain things you couldn’t do,†Denzel added. “He had his own church, and it was a long Sunday, because you had to be there all day.†“Everyone I grew up with didn’t have a father,†he continued. “I had a father. My father was a decent man. He was a very spiritual man and a gentleman.†So you see, Denzel grew up in the church, and he had faith. But what happened one day while he was worshipping left him shocked and wondering what he should do! He had a "personal encounter" with God that occurred in the same church Denzel attends today. “The minister was preaching, ‘Just let it go,'†Denzel recalled. He said to himself, "‘I’m going to go with it.’ And I had this tremendous physical and spiritual experience.†“It frightened me,†he stated. “I was slobbering, crying, sweating. My cheeks blew up. I was purging. It was too intense.†This powerful experience caused Denzel to question his beliefs. So, he called his mother. “It almost drove me away. I called my mother, and she said I was being filled with the Holy Spirit. “I was like, ‘Does that mean I can never have wine again?'†Ever since, Denzel is a proud Christian man and has even considered becoming a preacher. “A part of me still says, ‘Maybe, Denzel, you’re supposed to preach. Maybe you’re still compromising,'†he said. Denzel does this one thing each day to make sure he prays, and I'm trying it myself! This is fabulous, and simple. He says, “Put your slippers way under your bed so when you get up in the morning, you have to get on your knees to find them. And while you’re down there, start your day with prayer. Ask for wisdom. Ask for understanding,†he said. “Don’t aspire to make a living, aspire to make a difference.†Christian Books Book 1. https://tinyurl.com/SpiritualWarfarePrayer (click) Book 2. https://tinyurl.com/WhyWeMustFight (click) Book 3. https://tinyurl.com/25BibleBased (click)
