Christ professes to be the inexhaustible person, welcoming all of humanity in every generation; even then, there will be more than enough from this artesian well…No Plato of philosophy, no Einstein of intellect, no politician, no academician, no sage or philosopher ever made this statement. But Christ can, and twenty centuries have proven its truth. The apostles drank from this Source in the first century; but at the end of their era the blessed Source was still brimful.

The youth minister woke up Sunday morning and realizing it was an exceptionally beautiful and sunny early spring day, decided he just had to play golf. So… he told the Pastor that he was feeling sick and convinced him to take over the youth ministry for that day. As soon as the Pastor left the room, the youth minister headed out of Singapore to a golf course in JB. This way he knew he wouldn’t accidentally meet anyone he knew from church. Setting up on the first tee, he was alone. After all, it was Sunday morning and everyone else was in church!

A newly hired pastor in a small town was getting to know the members of his congregation by visiting with them in their homes. One particular day the pastor was visiting with one of the elderly ladies of the church. While sitting in the living room he noticed a large bowl of peanuts on the coffee table and asked if he might have some since he had not eaten lunch that day. The elderly lady was glad to offer them to him.
