Sunday Sermon

Story: A small parish had a hall that needed a new roof. So after every Sunday service, the congregation would go over to the parish hall to pray for the new roof. And at the end of the prayer time, there would be a collection. One old Parishoner, renown for being very tight fisted, used to come and sit at the back during the prayer time - so he could make a quick escape when they started the collection. One day just as he was going to the prayer time he was held up by the Pastor - and so came in a little late. Unfortunately there was only room at the front. So he went to the front and sat down there. During the prayer time, a piece of roof fell and hit him on the head. Feeling spoken to he stood up and said: "Lord, I’ll give $ 1000”. A voice in the back rang out: "Hit him again Lord". Is that how we think God speaks to us?
