Do
you believe?
IF SOMEONE HAD A GUN HELD IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE AND ASKED YOU IF YOU
BELIEVED IN GOD, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?

This is a true article that was printed in a southern newspaper less than
a year ago.
TAKE A
DEEP BREATH BEFORE READING THIS!
There was an atheist couple who
had a child. The couple never told their daughter anything about the Lord.
One night when the little girl was 5 years old, the parents fought with
each other and the dad shot the Mom, right in front of the child. Then,
the dad shot himself. The little girl watched it all. She then was sent to
a foster home. The foster mother was a Christian and took the child to
church. On the first day of Sunday School, the foster mother told the
teacher that the girl had never heard of Jesus, and to have patience with
her. The teacher held up a picture of Jesus and said, "Does anyone
know who this is?" The little girl said, "I do, that's the man
who was holding me the night my parents died."
Funny,
isn't it?
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 when you go to forward a message like this one, 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 the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace,
but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and
workplace.
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 I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what
God thinks of me. (Are you thinking?)
God is my source of existence and
Savior. He keeps me functioning each and everyday. Without Him, I will be
nothing. Without him, I am nothing but with Him I can do all things through
Christ that strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)
