There was a feud between the Pastor and the Choir Director of the Hicksville Southern Baptist Church.
It seems the first hint of trouble came when the Pastor preached on “dedicating yourselves to service,” and the Choir Director chose the song for the choir: “I Shall Not Be Moved.” Trying to believe it was a coincidence, the Pastor put the incident behind him. The next Sunday, the Pastor preached on “Giving.” Afterward, the choir squirmed as the Director led them in singing the hymn “Jesus Paid It All.”
By this time, the Pastor began to lose his temper. Each Sunday morning church attendance had swelled as the tension between the two built. A large crowd showed up on Sunday to hear the sermon on “the sin of gossiping.” Would you believe the Choir Director selected the hymn “I Love To Tell The Story!”
There was no turning back… the next Sunday the Pastor told the congregation that unless something changed, he was considering resigning and moving away. The entire church gasped when the Choir Director led the members in the song “Why Not Tonight.”
Truthfully, no one was surprised when the next Sunday the Pastor resigned, explaining that Jesus had led him there, and Jesus was leading him away. The Choir Director could not resist ending the service with the song “What A Friend We Have In Jesus.”

Hearing is inherent, but listening is learned. In a relationship, nothing is more important than listening to the other partner.
