Subject: Church MemberDuring an impassioned sermon on death and facing judgment, the
pastor said forcefully, "Every member of this church is going to
die and face judgment."
Early on in the sermon he noticed a gentleman smiling on the
front row.
The minister kept pushing his theme, "Every member of this
church is going to die." The guy smiled even more while everyone
else in the congregation had a very sombre look.
In an effort to get through to the guy, the preacher repeated it
several more times forcefully,
"EACH MEMBER OF THIS CHURCH IS GOING TO DIE."
Each time the phrase was repeated, the man smiled more. This really got
the preacher wound up and he preached even harder. The man still smiled.
The preacher finally walked down off the platform to stand just in front
of the
smiling man and shouted, "I SAID EACH MEMBER OF THIS CHURCH IS
GOING TO DIE."
At the end of the service the man was smiling from ear to ear.
While everyone else was looking pretty grim from the prospects,
the man was now almost laughing out loud. After the service the
preacher jumped down off the platform and worked through the crowd to
find the man. Pulling
him aside, the preacher said, "I don't get it. Every time I
said, 'Every member of this church is going to die,' you were laughing.
I want to know why
you did that?"
The man looked the preacher square in the eye and said confidently,
" I'm not a member of this church. "
