I Once Read A Story About A Preacher's Son Who ...
Contributed by Sermon Central on Jun 18, 2007 (message contributor)
I once read a story about a preacher’s son who was engaged to marry a woman in the church. She had been a woman of poor reputation before coming into the church and accepting Christ as her Lord and Savior. Her reputation preceded her. The church raised a fit over the engagement. They wouldn’t have their preacher’s son marrying a woman of poor reputation.
The young man addressed the church saying, we sing about the blood of Jesus washing away our sins.
We sing that it will wash us white as snow, and the Bible tells us the same.
We sing about this fount, and yet, do we really believe what we are saying?
Tears of repentance filled the church, and the wedding went on.

Contributed by John Stevenson on Dec 26, 2004
I love the story of the Prodigal Son. You know the story. He went from the love of a father to the stench of a pigsty. An inheritance squandered. A life wasted. Forlorn and dejected. And then he resolved to return home. We read about the speech he had prepared. He would recount his own ...read more

Contributed by John Stevenson on Dec 26, 2004
I like the bumper sticker that says, "Jesus is the answer, but what is the question?" The truth is that it doesn’t matter what is the question. He is the answer to all of the major questions of life. A rather vain student went to his professor and asked him a very technical theological question. ...read more
