“NEVER LOST A CASE”

I once lived in a community where a certain Methodist preacher preached more funerals than one could possibly believe. Methodists as well as others. One day I heard a local citizen say that he wanted him to preach his funeral. When asked why, he replied, “Well, I have never heard him lose a case yet.

I guess this would be quite comforting, but the real question is whether the Lord will honor the preacher’s judgment—I don’t think He will!

This reminds me of a story I heard about a preacher who, at a funeral, was eulognzing the dead: said he, “He was an outstanding citizen, a dedicated Christian, a loving husband, and a wonderful father.” The dead man’s widow, sitting on the front seat, said to one of her sons, “Go look in that casket and see if it’s your pappy!”
