I received the following email message on 15 Nov 01:
One Sunday morning during service, a 2,000 member congregation was surprised to see two men enter, both covered from head to toe in black and carrying sub-machine guns. One of the men proclaimed, "Anyone willing to take a bullet for Christ remain where you are."
Immediately, the choir fled, the deacons fled, and most of the congregation fled.
Out of the 2,000 there only remained around 20. The man who had spoken took off his hood, looked at the preacher and said "Okay Pastor, I got rid of all the hypocrites. Now you may begin your service. Have a nice day!"
And the two men turned and walked out.
Too deep not to pass on...
Funny how simple it is for people to trash God ... and then wonder why the world's going to hell.
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
Funny how everyone wants! to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says.
Or is it scary?
Funny how someone can say "I believe in God" but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also "believes" in God).
Funny how you can send a thousand 'jokes' through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.
Funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace.
Funny, isn't it?
Funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week.
Are you laughing?
Funny how when you go to forward this message, you will not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them
Funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me.
Are you thinking?
Are you going to send it to two people? Are you going to send it to as many people as me? Are you going to send it to more...........
Our Heavenly Father, please be with all those who lost their lives in the tragedies that fell upon our Country and take them to your home. Give your comfort to the family members of these victims. Please protect our Country from further damage and loss of lives. Give your guidance to our Nation's leaders and all those in the rescue efforts. May we all keep our faith through this most trying time........Amen
