What Does It Mean to Confess Jesus as Lord?
Rex Yancey
Psalm 110:1, Luke 2:11, Acts 2:36


It is great to be back at FBC Ripley. Thank you Bro. Micah for giving me this opportunity. It is hard to believe it has been 31/2 years since I retired. God has led you to a good, younger staff.

I heard about this old preacher who retired and was bored stiff. He decided he would hang a shingle and start practicing medicine. His sign said he would cure any disease for 500.00 or give the patient his money back.

The young preacher, we will call him Dr. Young decided to take the Old Geezer's money. He got an appointment and told him he had lost his taste. Dr. Geezer told him he could fix that. He told his nurse to go to box 22 and get the drop bottle and put three drops in Dr. Young's mouth. She did. He immediately spit it out and said, ''That's gasoline.'' Dr. Geezer said, ''Congratulations! That will be 500.00 dollars.''

Dr. Young decided he would come back two weeks later and get his money back. He told Dr. Geezer he had lost his memory. Dr. Geezer told him he could fix that. He told his nurse to go to box 22 and get the drop bottle and put three drops in his mouth. Dr. Young said, ''Oh no you don't. That is gasoline,'' Dr. Geezer said, ''Congratulations, your memory is cured. That will be 500.00.''

Dr. Young was sick that he had lost 1000 dollars and tried once more to get his money back. He said, ''Dr. Geezer I have lost my sight. Can you fix me?'' Dr. Geezer said, ''I am sorry, I have no cure for that. Here is a thousand dollar bill.'' Geezer handed him a 10 dollar bill. Dr. Young said, ''This is not a thousand dollar bill. This is a ten dollar bill.'' Dr. Geezer said, ''Congratulations, you have your sight back. That will be 500.00.''

The moral of this story is that just because you are young doesn't mean you can outsmart an old geezer.
