The Preacher and the Music Director

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 lead 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 lead
the song, "What a Friend We Have in Jesus."
