Two pastors, who had been close friends for many years, began meeting once each week to discuss local, regional, national and world issues.
Old-Fashioned Pastor and Contemporary Minister both loved the Lord, but they didn’t always see eye-to-eye on their topic of conversation.
The pastors decided to conduct a special two-week series on man-made global warming. Each church was scheduled to host one of the discussions.
The first discussion was held in Contemporary Minister’s church. “Thanks for hosting the first discussion in our two-part series,” said Old-Fashioned Pastor.
“I’m glad to do it,” said Contemporary Minister. “And thank you for hosting next week’s session.”
“Let’s get right into our conversation,” said Old-Fashioned Pastor. “You believe in the concept of man-made global warming, correct?”
“I most certainly do,” said Contemporary Minister. “Surely, you’ve noticed that this summer is the hottest summer on record in this community!”
“We have experienced a big heat wave over the last few weeks,” replied Old-Fashioned Pastor. “But that fact doesn’t prove that global warming is true. All it means is that we’re having a very hot summer.”
Old-Fashioned Pastor continued, “Now if the average temperature in this community increases by two or three degrees a year for the next 20 years, I would say that it was warmer here over a short period of time. For me, it still wouldn’t prove the idea of man-made global warming.”
“Many scientists are convinced that global warming is taking place,” said Contemporary Minister. “That’s the primary reason I agree with the concept.”
“Many scientists don’t go along with the theory, and I agree with those scientists,” countered Old-Fashioned Pastor.
The following week’s session was held in Old-Fashioned Pastor’s church. “The temperatures this week were even hotter than they were last week,” said Contemporary Minister. “What do you say to that?”
“It was so hot that although the central heat and air is working at my home, the temperature on the inside of the house was almost as hot as the outside temperature,” said Old-Fashioned Pastor. “But I just cannot go along with the concept of man-made global warming. I do, however, believe in the concept of God-made global warming.”
“What do you mean?,” asked Contemporary Minister.
Old-Fashioned Pastor replied, “Listen to the words of the book of Revelation, chapter 16: ‘And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.’
“So it appears to me,” said Old-Fashioned-Pastor, “that global warming may be on the way, but I don’t think it will be anything that man will want to take the credit for!”

Pastor-Teacher decided to conduct a prophecy seminar in his hometown on the Last Days.
“If it catches on, I may promote it nationwide,” he said. “The Last Days is a very important topic.”
Pastor-Teacher asked PR Volunteer to give away free tickets to the seminar. Due to the great interest in the seminars, Pastor-Teacher rented Local Community Building in which to conduct the event. The building, which had a seating capacity of 2,000 people, was used for a variety of purposes, including funerals, weddings, birthday parties and Christian worship services.
On the day of the event, Pastor-Teacher realized that all 2,000 seminar tickets had been distributed, and requests for 4,000 additional tickets had been received. He contacted local TV Station and Local Radio Station, both of which agreed to air the seminar.
Local Newspaper Reporter also attended the seminar to record Pastor-Teacher’s comments and write a front-page story for the following day’s paper.
All members of the media positioned themselves in such a way that they would be able to report accurately everything that happened during the seminar.
Pastor-Teacher began the seminar by quoting Revelation 1:3-8:
is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
"John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
"And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
"And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
"Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.”
“Does anyone have anything to say before we continue with tonight’s lesson?,” asked Pastor-Teacher.
“I do,” spoke up Seminar Attendee. “I had a Revelation Moment at my home earlier this week. We only have one clock in the house, and for some reason it stopped running at 2 a.m. I’ve been studying about the cessation of time and the beginning of eternity. When I awoke at 7 a.m. and saw that the clock had stopped several hours before, I thought eternity had already begun!”
