A righteous mouth

Dr. F.B. Thorn, a former pastor of our church, carried his Bible in a paper sack, but a prankster once replaced the Bible with a catalog. Dr. Thorn reached into the sack for his Bible. His friend, the practical joker, could hardly contain his laughter when Dr. Thorn’s hand hit the catalog instead. But Dr. Thorn had the last laugh. He had committed Scripture to memory, and preached on verses he quoted by heart. In fact, the sermon was so powerful, almost everyone was shouting “Amen!” at every profound point. The mouth of the righteous does indeed flow with the wisdom of God.
