Emphasis Preaching Journal

Dwight Moody used to tell the story about the lighthouse keeper out on a lonely island somewhere, whose only supplies came by boat once each month. He always received more than enough oil to keep his huge light burning, so he would often share some of his supply with the poor natives on the island. A mother would plead that her child was sick and the house was cold. Or a father would beg for a little oil so his wife could cook a warm meal for the hungry family. Or a wanderer needed just a little to light his way home.
