This is nothing new, but, I yet, appreciate it's worth...:)))
Psalm 118 Provides Us with a Certain Symmetry and a Few Smiles:
1.Psalm 118 is the middle chapter of the entire Bible.
2.Psalm 117, before Psalm 118 is the shortest chapter in the Bible.
3.Psalm 119, after Psalm 118 is the longest chapter in the Bible.
4.The Bible has 594 chapters before Psalm 118 and 594 chapters after Psalm 118.
5.If you add up all the chapters except Psalm 118, you get a total of 1188 chapters.
6.1188 or Psalm 118 verse 8 is the middle verse of the entire Bible.
7.And what is the message found in verse 118?
'It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.' - Psalm 118:8
What Price a Sermon?
One beautiful Sunday morning, Reverend Barnard announces to his congregation, 'My good people, I have here in my hands three sermons......
A $100 sermon that lasts five minutes
A $50 sermon that lasts fifteen minutes
And a $20 sermon that lasts a full hour.
Now, we'll take the collection and see which one I'll deliver.'
Who is the Fool?
Father George was opening his mail one morning. Taking a single sheet of paper from an envelope, he found written on it only one word: 'Fool'.
The following Sunday, in church, Father George announced to the assembled congregation, 'I have known many people who have written letters to me and forgotten to sign their names. But this week I received a letter from someone who signed his name and had forgotten to write a letter.'
