The Fool Who Dishonors God! (3 of 5)
Steve N. Wagers
Ecclesiastes 10:14
1. A seminary president was speaking to his up and coming preacher boys during a chapel service. He was preparing them for the rigors of the ministry. He said, "Boys, don't ask God for a big church.

"I had been driving my car for 40 years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident."
"The pedestrian had no idea which direction to go, so I ran over him."
