The Residual Effect
Presented by :Ken Hoeck
[~Our Daily Bread]

After a preacher died, his relatives found his many sermon manuscripts neatly tied and filed away. On top of them was a card with this inscription: "Where has the influence gone on these sermons I have preached?" On the other side was the answer. He had written: "Where are last year's sunrays? They have gone into fruits and grain and vegetables to feed mankind." "Where are last year's raindrops? Forgotten by most people, of course, but they did their refreshing work, and their influence still abides." In conclusion the preacher said, "So too, my sermons have gone into lives and made them nobler, more Christlike, and better fitted for the Kingdom of heaven."
