Strutting Around
Spring is finally here bringing warmer temperatures, blooming trees, and the occasional sight of a strut-
ting turkey. Yes, turkey season is a little over a week away, and I get excited when I see a strutting tom as he
parades around on full display for the hens he’s trying to woo. I have promised Clay Henson I will take him
turkey hunting this spring, so we need to make sure to capitalize on that. When the jakes (juvenile males) and
toms strut for the hens, they want to be seen. Sometimes they will gobble, sometimes they will spit and drum
(ask me later), but they will strut more often for the hens when it is time to go courting.
Don’t we have people in the church like these strutting turkeys? Some people just love to be seen. In 3
John there is a man called Diotrephes who is described by John as one who loves to be first in the church (9).
John is not too descriptive here, but Diotrephes is a character the church does not need. When there is someone
who loves to be first, they like to be noticed. This kind of person wants the attention of everyone around him,
kind of like a strutting turkey.
The next time you see a turkey in full strut out in a field while you’re driving down the road, think
about our congregation. If we’ll all do our part to make sure we are not a Diotrephes, we won’t have anyone
who loves to be seen and demands attention. The turkeys have a way of making their bodies look all puffed up
when their feathers stand up and their tail fan spreads out. This makes them appear much larger than they
really are. Doesn’t pride do that to us? Nebuchadnezzar learned a very valuable lesson in the aftermath of his
punishment by the Lord when he said “…He is able to humble those who walk in pride” (Dan. 4:37). None of

us will be strutting around if we give the Lord first place in the church. After all, it belongs to Him because He
died for it (Acts 20:28).
