Ike have done for you!" Then the announcer would come back and say send your cards and letters to Reverend Ike PO Box 1000 Boston Mass a Chusetts.... that is Rev. Ike PO Box 1000 Boston Mass A Chusetts... and don't forget to enclose a love offering and we will gladly send you our mind power idea for the month of August!
Loved the Rev! 
I loved Shambach to. Honey, don't you touch that radio dial! I really liked it when he would get on the church for evangelizing the pews and the organ and the piano and even the chandelier. These walls have heard enough sermons to save the world but the world hasn't heard enough sermons to save this little ole neighborhood! He could shell the corn and get you excited one minute and then bring to conviction in the next breath! When I was in Bible College I always mimicked him when we did our KTBC broadcasts live for 816 Evergreen Drive with Bishop Bob Davis, Evangelist ER Hoosier, Pastor Phil Jones and the occasional guest broadcast by the right reverends Harold Hoffman or Johnny McFall! We had a blast! |
Speaking of Reverand Ike....
Once I heard him say, "I don't preach on sin. There's already enough sin. You take a little bald headed man that aint never been out and had a lot of fun running with the wimmin folk. You start preaching on sin and he will sit there and start wonderin' what he's been missing. One day, you are going to look around and not be able to find him because he's out chaising the wimmin folk. So, I don't preach about sin, there's already enough sin."
Yeah, that's ol' Reverand Ikenrankhulter (sp?).
