Checkout our daily cartoon at our home page too http://oaktree.faithsite.com When D. L. Moody was conducting evangelistic meetings, he frequently faced hecklers who were in violent disagreement with him. In the final service of one campaign, an usher handed the famous preacher a note as he entered the auditorium. It was actually from an atheist who had been giving Mr. Moody a great deal of trouble. The evangelist, however, supposed that it was an announcement, so he quieted the large audience and prepared to read it. Opening the folded piece of paper he found scrawled in large print only one word: "Fool!" The colorful preacher was equal to the occasion. Said Moody, "I have just been handed a memo which contains the single word -- 'Fool'. This is most unusual. I've often heard of those who have written letters and forgotten to sign their names, but this is the first time I've ever heard of anyone who signed his name and then forgot to write the letter!" Taking advantage of the unique situation, Moody promptly changed his sermon text to Psalm 14:1 "The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God!" See: Psa 53:1 =========================== From my longtime Pal Paul Harvey.....(Yep, the real Paul Harvey). A young boy called the pastor of a local Baptist church to ask the pastor to come by to pray for his mother who had been very ill with the flu. The Baptist pastor knew the family and was aware they had been attending a Church of Christ down the road. The Baptist preacher asked, "Shouldn't you be asking Brother Sims down at the Church of Christ to come by to pray with your Mom?" The young man replied, "Yeah, but we didn't want to take the chance that he might catch whatever this is that Mom has." Have a great day Kevin Rayner Rochester, MN http://oaktree.faithsite.com |
