Rev. Barbara A. Davis, Pastor

 

September 16, 2012 PASTOR PEN: A large group of European pastors came to one of Northfield Bible Conferences in Massachusetts in the late 1800s. Following the European custom of the time, each guest put his shoes outside his room to be cleaned by the hall servants overnight. But of course this was America and there were no hall servants. Walking the dormitory halls that night, Dwight saw the shoes and determined not to embarrass his brothers. He mentioned the need to some ministerial students who were there, but met with only silence or pious excuses.  Dwight returned to the dorm, gathered up the shoes, and, alone in his room, Dwight began to clean and polish the shoes. Only the unexpected arrival of a friend in the midst of the work revealed the secret. When the foreign visitors opened their doors the next morning, their shoes were shined. They never know by whom. Dwight told no one, but his friend told a few people, and during the rest of the conference, different men volunteered to shine the shoes in secret. Perhaps the episode is a vital insight into why God use the world’s most famous evangelist of his time, and founder of a bible networks, Dwight ( D. L.) Moody as He did. He was a man with a servant’s heart and that was the basis of his true greatness.  Now you know the rest of the story……

JOKE:  A minister decided that a visual demonstration would add emphasis to his Sunday sermon. Four worms were placed into four separate jars.  The first worm was put into a container of alcohol.
The second worm was put into a container of cigarette smoke.    The third worm was put into a container of chocolate syrup.         The fourth worm was put into a container of good clean soil. At the conclusion of the sermon, the Minister reported the following results: The first worm in alcohol...Dead.
The second worm in cigarette smoke...Dead.
Third worm in chocolate syrup...Dead.
Fourth worm in good clean soil...Alive . So the Minister asked the congregation, "What did you learn from this demonstration?"
Maxine was sitting in the back, quickly raised her hand and said, "As long as you drink, smoke and eat chocolate, you won't have worms!"  That pretty much ended the service!

BASEBALL IN THE AFTER LIFE—WHICH TEAM….St. Peter and Satan were having an argument one day about baseball. Satan proposed a game to be played on neutral ground between a select team from the heavenly host and his own hand-picked boys.

"Very well," said the gatekeeper of Heaven. "But you realize, I hope, that we've got all the good players and the best coaches."

"I know, and that's all right," Satan answered unperturbed. "We've got all the umpires."
