Hearing Test
A man goes to his doctor and says "I don't think my wife's hearing is as good as it used to be, what should I do?"
The doctor replies: "Try this test to find out for sure. When your wife is in the kitchen doing dishes, stand fifteen feet behind her and ask her a question, if she doesn't respond keep moving closer asking the question until she hears you."
The man goes home and sees his wife preparing dinner. He stands fifteen feet behind her and says "What's for dinner, Honey?" No response.
He moves to ten feet behind her and asks again. No response.
Five feet, no answer. Finally he stands directly behind her and says, "Honey, what's for supper?"
She turns and in exasperation says, "For the fourth time, I SAID CHICKEN!"

Savor of Christ
Charles Spurgeon once told of a young preacher asking for feedback from a sermon, and who asked what an older pastor found wrong with his sermon. This was the old preacher's response:
"There was no Christ in it."
The young man defended himself, objecting, “Well, Christ was not in the text. We are not to be preaching Christ always; we must preach what is in the text.”
In response, the older pastor drew this analogy:
“Don’t you know, young man, that from every town, and every village, and every little hamlet in England, wherever it may be, there is a road to London? Just so from every text in Scripture there is a road to the metropolis of the Scriptures, that is Christ.
Your business is to ask of a text, ‘Now what is the road to Christ?’ and then preach a sermon, running along the road towards the great metropolis - Christ.
I have never yet found a text that had not got a road to Christ in it.
I will go over hedge and ditch to get at my Master, for the sermon cannot do any good unless there be a savor of Christ in it.”
