Monday Titus 1:3 Now, at the right time, You have revealed this Good News, and I announce it to everyone. It is by Your command, God, my Savior, that I have been trusted to do this work for You. Tuesday Titus 1:4 May You, God the Father, and You, Christ Jesus my Savior, give grace and peace. Wednesday Titus 1:5 I have been left to complete the work here and appoint elders as instructed. Thursday Titus 1:6 As an elder, I must be well thought of for my good life. I must be faithful to my wife, and my children must be believers who are not wild or rebellious. Friday Titus 1:7 As an elder I must live a blameless life because I am Your minister. I must not be arrogant and quick-tempered; I must not be a heavy drinker, violent, or greedy for money.

3931. One young minister thought high cholesterol was a church holy day. 3932. A pastor was shy about meeting a young lady. He opened the songbook to “I Need Thee Every Hour” and handed it to her. She turned to “God Will Take Care of You” and handed it back to him. 3933. A pastor was speaking of the prophets one by one. After seventy minutes, he said, “We now come to Isaiah--what should we do with him?” An impatient person said, “He can have my seat; I’m going home.” 3934. A pastor was known to have a Bible verse for everything that happened. One Sunday as he was preaching a bug flew into his mouth. He gulped and said, “He was a stranger and I took him in.” 3935. The pastor had a Band-Aid on his chin. While shaving, he had thought of his sermon and cut himself. After the sermon, a member said, “Why didn’t you think of shaving and cut your sermon?” |
