The Sound of My Voice
Illustration
by Editor James S. Hewett

A pastor overheard two laymen discussing the direction his sermons had been taking for several weeks.

Apparently, one of the men felt quite satisfied with himself and where he was in his walk with the Lord. "I suppose the pastor will give another altar call next week, calling for further commitment of our lives. I'll sure be glad when he finds something else to talk about."

The other's reply sent the pastor on his way with a song.

"Well, I hope our pastor keeps preaching the deeper walk with the Lord. I want more and more of Him. When I get to heaven, I don't want to have to pull out my wallet and show the Lord my driver's license to prove who I am. I want Him to know me by the sound of my voice."
