Preaching Best in Trouble
Story★★★★The late F. A. Atkins, a brilliant journalist, was lunching one Sunday in a London club with a well-known minister who was in deep trouble, very ill and very tired. Yet that morning, says Mr. Atkins, “he had preached one of the most searching and inspiring sermons I had ever heard. I laughingly remarked that he always preached best when things were at their worst. He looked at me and said, very quietly, ‘We get help.’ “
The point
A minister preached his most inspiring sermon while deeply troubled and ill, saying simply, 'We get help.'
