"So Philip ran to him, and heard him reading the prophet Isaiah, and said, 'Do you understand
what you are reading?' And he said, 'How can I, unless someone guides me?' And he asked Philip
to come up and sit with him." (Acts 8:30-31)
Winston Churchill detested the noise staplers made, so he insisted on binding his papers with tape
threaded through punched holes. He called his paper punch his "klop" after the sound it made, a
term most of his subordinates were familiar with. Once, however, a new secretary heard Churchill
call, "Bring me my klop," and some time later staggered into his office carrying all 14 volumes of
Onno Klopp's Der Fall des Hauses Stuart! A case of miscommunication, to be sure. (From Today
In The Word, Aug. 19, 1991)
Let us do our best to accurately communicate the gospel so that all can clearly understand the will of God.
