Preachers Say a Lot of things they Shouldn't Say

"To be honest with you............."

I use to say this by habit unto one day my boss said, "I hope you are honest with me all of the time".  I try not to say it any more.  :)

What about when your wife asks if her dress makes her look fat?

You follow up with a compliment, "Honey, you sure don't sweat much for a fat lady".

Some people don't have a brain to work with.
Some don't know how to cover what they have.
I guess it's not just preachers that need to be careful about what they say & do.

I have to admit, I do refer to a 3 x 5 card every now and then.

Anybody else have Godfrey yell at them to wake up even when you weren't sleeping?
 
George just celebrated his 83rd birthday.
 
I just listened to Donny Swaggart for a little while yesterday. He was talking about money and talked very sarcastically (he would be a good baptist) about people who will come through their church and talk about trusting the Lord and then drop hints that they need money. He said, "If you do that around here I will tell you Sianara." (not sure how it is spelled) He also said when someone comes to him and asks for money he just says you need to go to the Lord for your needs.

So far so good, right? They have a share-a-thon every month for four days and beg for money from people. They always have to have around 4,700,000.00 which is just to cover expenses and usually end up at around 3.2 -3.5 million. I guess that is different.

We get our share of people who NEVER darken the door of our church who want money.  Then there are those who come once and a blue moon who want money.  The sad thing is, if you help them then they get to feeling guilty because they can't pay it back and never come back again. We never tell them that they have to pay it back it's just a guilt feeling of the conscience I guess. We have helped several over the years where that has happened. Never once have we asked from the money back or even intimated that they had to pay it back.

I am absolutely sure this has to be one of the hardest areas for pastors to decipher. There is an entire culture who use churches good-will as an extra welfare source. We have a harvest market and every week there are people who come just to receive bags of food. Along with this, there are stories about people who were in desperate need who loathed to ask for any help and then how the church helped them get back on their feet.  I am glad I am not the one to have to decide who to help and who not to help.

I once called in on his mom's morning radio program and talked with him about the tithe.

And what did he say?
 
I once heard a well know IFB preacher preach on things that show you are a good Christian and 10 things that show you are not a good Christian.  :-\

My thought was you could have spent this last hour preaching matchless Jesus.

John 21:25
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.
