Jesus preached with authority. Why? Because He had authority! And the preachers of old preached with authority. They preached, “Thus saith the Lord.” We have lost that today, I’m afraid. Our preaching reflects it and the lives of our people reflect it well. They live as if the pastor had no authority, as if the elders had no authority, and, even more appalling, as if the Word of God itself had no authority. We have returned to the place of the church in the Old Testament where “every man did what was right in his own eyes.” It is true today; every man thinks what is right in his own mind, regardless of what Scripture or sound exegesis may say otherwise.

"Chandelier"
 
 
A newspaper editor announces that there's
enough money in the budget to install a
newsroom chandelier. The reporters
huddle and send a spokesman to say
they're against it.
 
"Against it? Why?" the editor asks.
 
"First," the reporter says, "no one on the
staff can spell 'chandelier' well enough
to put it on an order form. Second, I don't
believe that anybody here can play one if
we had it. And third, if you got that much
money, we think you should get a hanging
light instead, to brighten up the office!"
 
 
"Giving it Up"
 
 
The minister drove into a sand trap. He picked up his golf club, broke it but didn't say a word.
 
Then he picked up the golf bag and tore it to shreds but didn't say a word.
 
He then took out all the golf balls and flung them into the woods but did not say one word.
 
Finally he muttered, "I'm going have to give it up."
 
"Golf?" asked the caddie.
 
"No" he replied. "The ministry."
 
"Government Office Rules"
 
 
1) If it rings, put it on hold.
2) If it clanks, call the repairman.
3) If it whistles, ignore it.
4) If it's a friend, take a break.
5) If it's the boss, look busy.
6) If it talks, take notes.
7) If it's handwritten, type it.
8) If it's typed, copy it.
9) If it's copied, file it.
10) If it's Friday, forget it!
