Whenever evangelicals have an experience of direct, personal access to God, we are tempted to think or act as if we can dispense with doctrine, sacraments, history, and all the other “superfluous paraphernalia” of the Church and make our experience the sum and soul of our faith. We are still attracted to movements that replace thinking and theology by other emphases relational, therapeutic, charismatic, and managerial (as in church growth). Whatever the other virtues of these movements and the unquestionable importance of piety, we must courageously repudiate anti-intellectualism for the sin it is.

A pastor was assigned to a new church. He was worried how  
he would be received. At a reception for the pastor, he was  
given a name tag. Under his name was written, "Hog caller."  

The pastor responded by saying, "I'm usually called  
'Shepherd of the Sheep,' but you know your congregation  
better than I do."  

 

 
Too Late   

 
A young preacher was asked by the local funeral director to
hold a grave-side burial service at a small local cemetery for someone
with no family or friends. The preacher started early but quickly got
himself lost, making several wrong turns. Eventually, a half-hour late, he
saw a backhoe and its crew, but the hearse was nowhere in sight, and the
workmen were there.

The diligent young pastor went to the open grave and found the
vault lid already in place. Taking out his book, he read the service.
Feeling guilty because of his tardiness, he preached an impassioned and lengthy service, sending the deceased
to the great beyond in style.

As he was returning to his car, he overheard one of the workmen say: "I've been putting in septic tanks for twenty years and I ain't never seen anything like that."

 
 
 

You Know Verge
 
 
A Sunday school teacher asked her class, "What
was Jesus' Mother's name?

One child answered, "Mary."

The teacher then asked, "Who knows what Jesus'
father's name was?"

A little kid said, "Verge."
Confused, the teacher asked, "Where did you
get that?"

The kid said, "Well, you know they are always
talking about Verge n' Mary."
