Temperance
Pastor Jeremiah, an old-time country preacher, was disturbed by the increasing amount of drinking in his county and even within the church.\xa0Pastor Jeremiah thought it was well past time to address it in a sermon.\xa0One bright and sunny Sunday morning, he was all prepared.\xa0He had all of his points lined up and backed up with Scripture. Pastor Jeremiah went through all of his points, and after about 30 minutes, he was really getting wound up about his temperance sermon with great enthusiasm.\xa0As he was getting close to the end, he wanted to drive his point home.\xa0He pointed to the congregation and shouted:
\u201cIf I had all the beer in the world, I\u2019d take it and throw it into the river.\u201d
The congregation cried, \u201cAmen!\u201d
\u201cAnd if I had all the wine in the world, I\u2019d take it and throw it in the river.\u201d
The congregation cried, \u201cAmen!\u201d
\u201cAnd if I had all the whiskey and the rum in the world, I\u2019d take it all and throw it in the river.\u201d
And the congregation cried, \u201cAmen!\u201d
After the sermon, pastor Jeremiah sat down, exhausted, sweating, and panting.
Next, Deacon Jones stood up and said: \u201cFor our closing hymn,\u201d let us turn to page 126 and sing together, \u2018Shall We Gather at the River.\u2019\u201dI hope that brought a smile to your face today.\xa0If it did pass your smile onto some else, we all could use a kind smile each day.\xa0Our Thursday thought is from Ernest Hemmingway, \u201cAlways do sober what you said you\u2019d do drunk. That will teach you to keep your mouth shut.\u201d
Here is our verse for today:
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ephesians%205%3A18&version=NLT (Ephesians 5:18)
Don\u2019t be drunk with\xa0wine, because that will ruin your life. Instead, be filled with the Holy Spirit, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, and making music to the Lord in your hearts.
