[Benefits of] expounding the Scriptures: 1. [It] encourages the congregation to bring their Bibles to church, and everything that leads believers to value the Scriptures is important. 2. Exposition may open the Scriptures to them and create in them a desire to meditate for themselves. When they again read over the portion of the Word which has been expounded, they will remember what has been said. Thus, it leaves a more lasting impression on their minds. 3. Expounding large portions of the Word, such as an entire gospel or epistle, leads the teacher to consider portions of the Word which he might otherwise overlook. This keeps him from speaking too much on favorite subjects and leaning too much to particular parts of truth – a tendency which will surely sooner or later injure both himself and his hearers.

Today's Chuckles

1. Bad Golf

2. Polishing Shoes

                     ------------------------------

Bad Golf

Taking advantage of a balmy day in New York, a priest and three 

other men of the cloth swapped their clerical garb for polos and 

khakis and time out on the golf course. 

After several really horrible shots, their caddy asked, "You 

guys wouldn't be clergy by any chance?"

"Actually, yes, we are," one man replied. "How did you know?"

"Easy," said the caddy, "I've never seen such bad golf and such 

clean language!"

Polishing Shoes 

A new ensign, I was assigned duty at the Naval Observatory 

in Washington, D.C., and car-pooled to work with a veteran 

Marine sergeant. 

One afternoon, I showed him a pair of brown shoes I had 

purchased to go with my khaki uniform. 

He examined the leather carefully. "Let me take these home," 

he said, "and I'll show you a real Marine Corps shine." 

The next day I wore my old shoes, expecting to switch them 

with the ones the sergeant was polishing. 

From a grocery bag, Sarge pulled out the right shoe, shining 

like glass. "This is the way a Marine shines a shoe," he said. 

"Now all you have to do is polish the left one to look like 

it."
