Neophyte Preacher
(No Ratings Yet)
Loading ...A young minister had just got out of the seminary, got his first church, and was preaching his first sermon. He started out with a quote, “Behold I cometh….” but he couldn’t remember the rest of it. In the seminary, they had told him that if he forgot something, just back up and repeat what he had said, and maybe it would come back to him.
So, he said again, “Behold I cometh….’ but he still couldn’t remember. So he reared back and shouted again, “BEHOLD I COMETH…” but this time, he tripped over the pulpit and fell onto a little woman sitting in the first row. He was embarrassed and started apologizing.
“It ain’t your fault,” the woman said. “You told me you was coming three times, and I never did move!”
