PROBLEMS

Problems in the Church are not uncommon, but when the pastor & choir director get into it, stand aside.

One week our preacher preached on commitment & how we should dedicate ourselves to service. The director then led the choir in singing, 'I Shall Not Be Moved.'

The next Sunday, the preacher preached on giving & how we should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The choir director then led the song, 'Jesus Paid It All.'

The next Sunday, the preacher preached on gossiping & how we should watch our tongues. The hymn was 'I Love To Tell The Story.'

The preacher became disgusted over the situation & the next Sunday he told the congregation he was considering resigning. The choir then sang 'Oh, Why Not Tonight.'

When the preacher resigned the next week he told the church that Jesus had led him there & Jesus was taking him away. The choir then sang, 'What A Friend We Have in Jesus.'

“I am afraid that when I get there I will find you different from what I would like you to be and you will find me different from what you would like me to be. I am afraid that I will find quarreling and jealousy, hot tempers and selfishness, insults and gossip, pride and disorder.” – Paul (2 Cor 12:20 GNT)

“So you have problems. Are they man made? Most are - and if men can create problems, surely they can solve them.” – Detroiter.
