Transcript

Hello, radio friends. How in the world are you? Everything going all right at your house? Well, I trust so, bless your heart. This is your friend, Bob Cook, and I’m back again from wherever, and with you now in 1 Timothy chapter 5. We were talking about our relationship with pastors and elders and bishops, and those who are in leadership in God’s work. One was don’t jump on him, the other was reward him, encourage him. That’s where we were thinking the last time we got together, you remember?

You know, there’s some humor in the Bible. I don’t know if the Apostle Paul ever had any glimmering of an idea that the word ‘corn’ would be given a meaning other than grain. And of course, corn down in some of the Southern distilleries [chuckle] is another word for whiskey. Good corn liquor, have you ever heard of that? But among the young people through the past two or three decades, a corny joke, a corny expression. [chuckle] Well, that means something that may be true and may be funny but is too old to laugh at. Somebody reminded me of that the other day. Said, “Hey, preacher, the talk about you in the Bible- says don’t muzzle the ox that treadeth out the corn. And boy, are you corny.” Ah, right. [chuckle]

By the way, never resent it if people kid you and tease you. Do you realize that people only tease the folk that they love? You think about that. [chuckle] Never get upset when people are joking with you and kidding you and ribbing you. Don’t get upset, because that means they think you’re worthwhile. Yeah, I’ll throw that in free. [chuckle]

So encourage your preacher. Take him to lunch, buy him a new tie, buy him a new set of tires for his car. If you’re a farmer, remember him when you butcher a hog or some other animal. I don’t know if you could give him a side of beef, I don’t know what he would do with that, but he might be able to handle it, who knows? Encourage him, encourage him. And you know, one of the nicest things… And see, I was a pastor for 18 years. I can tell about these things, ’cause I’ve been there….. one of the nicest things you could do that doesn’t cost you a dime is to remember something he said in his sermon and tell him about it later on, tell him you appreciate it. “Preacher, I appreciated what you said last Sunday morning. You said this and this and this, and boy, that just fit my situation. I appreciate that. Thank you.” He’ll feel so warm and blessed inside. Encourage your preacher.
