True Christian
PLEASE TAKE 2 MINUTES OF YOUR TIME TO READ THIS.
Imagine this happening to you.
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 submachine 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.

note: With this article which was sent by email I received the following challenge and I thought I'll leave it on this page as I'm sure it will challenge those of us who call our self Christ followers ( Christians) to stand up and not be ashamed of our saviour. Mark 8:38 gives us all a challenge!
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
Funny 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 work place. 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 that God thinks of me.
Are you
thinking?
Will you share
this with people you care about?
Or not?
