One day God was looking down at Earth and saw all of the rascally behavior
that was going on. He decided to send an angel down to Earth to check it out. So he called one of His angels and sent the angel to Earth for a time. When he returned, he told God, "Yes, it is bad on Earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not.
God thought for a moment and said, "Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion." So God called another angel and sent him to Earth for a time too.
When the angel returned he went to God and said, "Yes, it's true The Earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good."
God was not pleased.
So He decided to E-mail the 5% that were good, because
He wanted to encourage them.
Give them a little something to help them keep going.
Do you know what the E-mail said?
Just wondering, I didn't get one either......................
There was a 15-year-old boy who wanted a car for his birthday the following month.
So he went to his dad and said, "Dad, I'm turning 16 next month and I want a car."
Dad said, "Bring your grades up, clean your room and keep it clean, and get a hair cut."
The kid said, "OK".
A month went by and the boy once again went to his dad. "Dad, my birthday is tomorrow and I
just thought I would remind you that I brought my grades up and I've kept my
room clean."
The father said, "I told you to cut your hair too."
"Dad I've been reading the Bible and did you know Jesus Christ had long hair?"
exclaimed the teenager.
"Yes I did. And I also know Jesus Christ walked everywhere he went
Church feuds are not uncommon, especially among cliques in the congregation. But when the pastor and choir director get into it, stand aside. One week our preacher preached on commitment, and how we should dedicate ourselves to service. The director then led the choir in singing, 'I Shall Not Be Moved.'
The next Sunday, the preacher preached on giving and how we should gladly give to the work of the Lord. The choir director then led the song, 'Jesus Paid It All.'
The next Sunday, the preacher preached on gossiping and how we should watch our tongues. The hymn was 'I Love To Tell The Story.'
The preacher became disgusted over the situation, and the next Sunday he told the congregation he was considering resigning. The choir then sang 'Oh, Why Not Tonight.'
When the preacher resigned the next week, he told the church that Jesus had led him there and Jesus was taking him away. The choir then sang, 'What A Friend We Have in Jesus.'
A little boy was overheard praying: "Lord, if you can't make me a
better boy, don't worry about it. I'm having a real good time like
I am!"
