We have all heard them.  The first time they were funny.  Now you know exactly what is going to be said and you smile as to not be rude.  I'm talking about often used preaching statements and stories.  These are the same statements and stories used by multiple preachers.  Let's see what we can find!
 
"As Henry the Eighth told his fourth wife, 'Don't worry, I won't be keeping you long.'"
 
The kid who falls in the gears. Ugh.

I'm trying to remember this one.  Can you elaborate?
 
The story about the queen who was choosing a new carriage driver.  One guy got as close to the edge of the cliff as he could to impress her.  The other guy stayed far away.  She hired the second guy because she didn't want to get too close to the edge. 

That'll preach!!
 
Man's job is to control the gears for a passenger train bridge to switch the rails as needed. His kid falls in and he has to decide whether to save the train or the kid.

The story's cousin is the awful bit about the man whose son and son's friend are capsized with him and drowning and he has to save the friend because he knows his son is saved.

Nice catch!  No pun intended.  :)
 
As the fat lady said crawling through the barb wire fence a few more points and I'll be through...
 
The unseen burning ring of fire around the missionary's hut in the jungle keeping the natives from killing them.
 
You guys are doing great!  Precious memories.
 
This one goes back several decades. How many of you remember the cassette tape of the young man who records himself just before he allegedly shoots himself? The phrase that sticks out is when he says, "Can't think, can't think." Then "bang" and the room is eerily quiet.

I heard that one until I almost had the whole thing memorized.

That's a new one for me.
 
"The book of Hebrews was written to Jews who had gotten saved, it was not written so wives would not have to make coffee in the morning. He brews."
 
The young girl who stands up to the Atheist in the amphitheatre and sings "Stand up stand up for Jesus".
 
Christian student in an atheist professor's class ....
 
The football player who knocks down the challenging atheist because God is busy taking care of the world.
