Church Feud

-

 

There was a feud between the Pastor and the Choir Director of
the Hicksville Southern Baptist Church..

It seems the first hint of trouble came when the Pastor preached on
"Dedicating Yourselves to Service" and the Choir Director chose to
sing: "I Shall Not Be Moved". Trying to believe it was a coincidence,
the Pastor put the incident behind him.

The next Sunday he preached on "Giving." Afterwards, the choir
squirmed as the director led them in the hymn: "Jesus Paid It All".
By this time, t he Pastor was losing his temper.

Sunday morning attendance swelled as the tension between the two
built. A large crowd showed up the next week to hear his sermon
on "The Sin of Gossiping." Would you believe the Choir
Director selected the song: "I Love T o Tell The Story".

Ther e was no turning back. The following Sunday the Pastor told the
congregation that unless something changed, he was considering
resignation. The entire church gasped when the Choir Director led
them in: "Why Not Tonight"?

Truthfully, no one was surprised when t he Pastor resigned a week later,
explaining that Jesus had led him there and Jesus was leading him
away. The Choir Director could not resist: "What A Friend We Have In
Jesus."
