A Moving Sermon

One Sunday morning, a man attended the service at the local church. He was so moved by the preacher’s sermon that he stopped to shake his hand. “Reverend, that was the best damn sermon I have ever heard,” the man said.

“Thank you, sir,” the Reverend replied, “but I must ask that you not use profanity in the Lord’s house.”

“Sorry, Reverend, I just can’t help myself,” said the man, “that was just such a damn good sermon.”

“Sir, please,” replied the Reverend. “Again I ask you not to use profanity in church.”

“Okay, Reverend,” the man said. “I just want you to know that I thought it was so damn good that I put $5000 in the collection plate.”

“No shit!” exclaimed the Reverend.
