Top of the morning from Pilgrim Presbyterian Church, in Vinita, Oklahoma.
Today, I share with you a story about a fictional woman, who you'll not find in Pilgrim Church. Nevertheless, you may have met this woman some time, somewhere.
She is vivacious, strong and capable, and very pious. Faithful to worship services at her little Church on the corner of Wisconsin Avenue and Ninth Street, she nods her head and shouts "Amen" whenever her minister condems drinking, dancing, movies, gambling, and Sunday sports events.
One Sunday her pastor preached against harm caused by gossip, and as he droned on (some preachers never know the value of short sermons), she could keep silent no longer. In a loud whisper, heard throughout the congregation, she said: "Now he's stopped preaching and started meddling."
You don't know any self-righteous person like our fictional woman, or do you?
Peace and in friendship
