The Duck Commander
Have you ever been to a Billy Graham Crusade or seen one on TV? He is awesome! He is known around the world as a man of God who preaches the Gospel to all who will listen. At the end of his sermons he will always give an “alter call” where flocks of people come to the stage and pray to ask Jesus Christ as Savior. After he issues the alter call, he ask a simple question. “Want you come, want you come?” And people do – they answer the call.
I thought of this recently when a friend of mine, Nick Jones, asked me to go to see Phil Robertson who was speaking in Conway, SC. You may know Phil better as “The Duck Commander.” He’s like the Billy Graham of duck hunting. He eats, sleeps and breaths duck hunting and he’s a killing machine from the duck blind. A follower of Christ, Phil Robertson was born with a gift to sound like a duck. He has his own line of duck calls that set the standard in the duck calling industry. When he blows on his duck call, it’s like he’s giving that Billy Graham alter call to the ducks saying, “Want you come.” And they do… by the hundreds.
Unfortunately, I didn’t get to go with Nick, but he told me all about the great time he had. It turns out that people got to hear more calls than just those of mallards and wood ducks when the Duck Commander got up to speak. He also spoke of the call of Jesus and the invitation for all men to follow Him. How cool is that! Nick hasn’t stopped smiling since he got back and I wouldn’t swear to it, but I think he’s even started growing his own Duck Commander beard.
“Arise, kill and eat.”
Acts 10:13
