God Spoke to Me That Night
StoryTestimony★★★★When Leslie D. Weatherhead asked a theological student about his call to the ministry, the student told of a preacher who had challenged him. “Who was the preacher?” Weatherhead asked. “I can’t remember,” said the student. “You can’t remember?” Weatherhead exclaimed. “I only know,” said the youth thoughtfully, “that God spoke to me that night.”—The Eternal Voice Minister and Congregation
Also attributed to: Leslie D. Weatherhead
The point
A theological student cannot recall the human preacher who challenged him, but he knows God spoke to him that night, illustrating that the divine message matters more than the messenger.
