There was a church where the
preacher and the minister of music were not getting along. As time
went by this began to spill over into the worship service.
The first week the preacher preached on commitment and how we all
should
dedicate ourselves to the service of God. The music director lead
the song "I Shall Not Be Moved".
The second week the preacher preached on tithing and how we all
should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The director lead the
song "Jesus Paid It All."
The third week the preacher preached on gossiping and how we should
all watch our tongues. The music director led the song "I
Love to Tell the Story."
With all this going on, the preacher became very disgusted over the
situation and the following Sunday told the congregation that he was
considering resigning. The musician led the song "Oh Why Not
Tonight?"
As it came to pass, the preacher did indeed resign. The next week he
informed the church that it was Jesus who led him there and it was
Jesus that was taking him away. The music leader led the song "What
a Friend We Have in Jesus".
