Emphasis Preaching Journal
Dick and Millie were listening...
Illustration
Dick and Millie were listening to the sermon one Sunday morning when they felt God
speaking directly to them. Dick had retired from the local manufacturing plant, and Millie
had worked as a bookkeeper for a small, family-owned business. Having recently retired,
they had both resigned from their church responsibilities. Millie had been a Sunday
school teacher for years and Dick served on various administrative committees. "We've
done enough, more than our share," they would tell anyone who asked, "Let someone
else take over!"
