man invited a friend to his church on a Sunday evening to hear his
pastor, whom he highly regarded. To his consternation, his pastor
that night preached from Genesis on genealogies. The rest of the
sermon he was unable to take in because of his disappointment. But
then - to his utter amazement - he saw his friend go forward and make
a full decision for Christ as both Lord and Savior!</span></span></font></font></p>
