Recycled Words Still Productive

George Mueller was asked to preach for a certain congregation, but there was a problem: He didn't know how to preach.

Having never preached before he thought it would be best to memorized another preacher's sermon. He worked all week to secure it in his mind and delivered it on the appointed day. For years he looked back on that day with a bit of nausea as he thought it was ill to do such a thing.

Later in life though, he came to find out that there were at least 19 people who were greatly affected by the message!

The power is not in the man, it is in the word! It never returns void.
