Lengthy Discourse
E-msil sent to me this morning:
A visiting minister was very long-winded. Worse, every time he would make a good point during his sermon and a member of the congregation responded with "Amen" or "That's right, preacher" he would get wound up even more and launch into another lengthy discourse.
Finally, the host pastor started responding to every few sentences with "Amen, Pharaoh!" The guest minister wasn't sure what that meant, but after several more "Amen, Pharaohs" he finally concluded his very lengthy sermon.
After the service concluded and the congregation had left, the visiting minister turned to his host and asked, "What exactly did you mean when you said "Amen, Pharaoh?"
His host replied, "I was telling you to let my people go!"

Re: Lengthy Discourse
You know how sometimes a preacher will take off his watch when he gets ready to preach.
You know what that means, when he takes of his watch?
Nothing !!
He's still gonna preach 30 more minutes after he's done preaching.

Re: Lengthy Discourse
How about when the preacher keeps saying he is going to close.

Re: Lengthy Discourse
The one I cannot take is when the peacher keeps right on preaching through altar call. It's as if they don't believe God's able to talk to people when they pray, so they need to do it for Him.
