Sermon Illustrations

A farmer went into his house one day to tell his wife and family some good news. "The cow just gave birth to twin calves, one red and one white," he said. "We must give one of these calves to the Lord. We will bring them up together, and when the time comes, we will sell one and keep the proceeds and we will sell the other and give the proceeds to the Lords work." A few days later, he entered the kitchen looking downtrodden and unhappy. "What happened?" his wife asked. "I have some bad news," he replied, "The Lords calf is dead."
