The gospel is preached in the ears of all; it only comes with power to some. The power that is in the gospel does not lie in the eloquence of the preacher; otherwise men would be converters of souls. Nor does it lie in the preacher's learning; otherwise it would consist in the wisdom of men. We might preach till our tongues rotted, till we should exhaust our lungs and die, but never a soul would be converted unless there were mysterious power going with it - the Holy Ghost changing the will of man. O Sirs! We might as well preach to stone walls as to preach to humanity unless the Holy Ghost be with the Word, to give it power to convert the soul.
C.H. Spurgeon

Box Of Seed

Betsy walked into the pet store and, after looking up and down the aisles,
asked the sales clerk for help.

"I'd like a box of birdseed," said the lady.

"For which kind of bird?" he asked helpfully.

"Oh, I dunno," she replied. "Whichever will grow the fastest."

Three friends die in a car crash, and they find themselves at the Gates
of Heaven. Before entering, they are each asked a question by St. Peter
himself. "When you are in your casket and friends and family are mourning
upon you, what would you like to hear them say about you?" asks St. Peter.
The first guy says, "I would like to hear them say that I was a great
doctor and a great family man." The second guy says, "I would like to hear
that I was a wonderful husband and school teacher who made a huge
difference in our children." The last guy replies. "I would like to hear
them say.... LOOK!!! HE'S MOVING!!!!!"
