God Can Use Anyone

God uses everyone
“I’m
over 50 years of age. I have never
preached in one place for more than three years.
In some places, I have left town after my work caused riots and
disturbances. I must admit I have
been in jail three or four times, but not because of any real wrongdoing.”
“My
health is not too good, though I still get a great deal done.
The churches I have preached in have been small, though located in
several large cities. I’ve not
gotten along well with religious leaders in towns where I have preached.
In fact, some have threatened me and even attacked me physically.
I am not too good at keeping records.
I have been known to forget whom I baptized.”
“However,
if you can use me, I shall do my best for you.”
The
board member looked over at the committee.
“Well, what do you think? shall
we call him?”
The
good church folk were aghast. Call an unhealthy, trouble-making, absentminded, x-jailbird?
Was the board member crazy? Who
signed the application? Who has
such colossal nerve?
The
board member eyed them all keenly before he answered, “It’s signed, the
Apostle Paul.”
