When God Says...what?
Contributed by Dr. Larry Petton on Jan 14, 2014 (message contributor)
A young preacher in Ft. Worth, Texas was trying to make an impression on a Pastor Search Team who had come to his church to hear him preach. The young man was preaching on the time in the Old Testament when God had enough with His disobedient people and finally said to them, "Ichabod!", which means, "The glory has departed!"
However, as the young pastor was preaching his hardest, he made a huge blunder. He said to the congregation, "Church, if you don’t obey God, if you don’t listen to God, if you don’t follow God......do you know what God will say to you? He will say.....MICHELOB!"
Once the laughter died down, the embarrassed young preacher apologized and tried his best to finish the sermon!
