Church ConflictWhile conflict in the church is no laughing matter, and I really appreciate those who pastor our churches, sometimes we have to sit back, relax, and enjoy a humorous story.
There was a conflict brewing at the Wayside Community Church over several months between Pastor Frank and Dorothy, the song leader.\xa0Each week it was becoming evident to many in the congregation that they may not be getting along.\xa0As weeks grew into months, this conflict began to spill over into the worship service.
The first week Pastor Frank preached on commitment and how we all should dedicate ourselves to the service of God. At the end of the service, Dorothy led the congregation in the song \u201cI Shall not be Moved.\u201d
The second week Pastor Frank preached on tithing and how we all should gladly give to the work of the Lord. At the end of the service, Dorothy led the congregation in the song \u201cJesus Paid it All.\u201d
In the third week, Pastor Frank preached on gossiping and how we should all watch our tongues. At the end of the service, Dorothy led the congregation in the song \u201cI Love to Tell the Story.\u201d
Pastor Frank\u2019s frustration continued to grow each week. With all this going on, Pastor Frank became very disgusted over the situation, and the following Sunday, he told the congregation that he was considering resigning.\xa0At the end of the service, Dorothy led the congregation in the song, \u201cOh Why Not Tonight?\u201d
That was the straw that broke the camel\u2019s back. On the fifth Sunday, after Pastor Frank preached, he solemnly said that it was Jesus who led him to the church, and it was Jesus that was taking him away, and he officially resigned.\xa0After Pastor Frank sat down, the song leader, Dorothy, led the congregation in the song \u201cWhat a friend we have in Jesus!\u201d
I 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, \u201cGod didn\u2019t create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes and roaches come close.\u201d
Here is our verse for today:

And let us not neglect our\xa0meeting\xa0together, as some people do, but encourage one another, especially now that the day of his return is drawing near.
Just as you enjoy these nuggets of humor, please encourage your friends and family to join us and then come along tomorrow for another day of \u2018Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.\u2019\xa0If you would like to listen to any of our past 1516 treks or read
