Isn’t it strange how a 20 dollar bill seems like such a large amount when
you donate it to church, but such a small amount when you go shopping?
Isn’t it strange how 2 hours seem so long when you’re at church, and how
short they seem when you’re watching a good movie?
Isn’t it strange that you can’t find a word to say when you’re praying but
you have no trouble thinking what to talk about with a friend?
Isn’t it strange how difficult and boring it is to read one chapter of the
Bible but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a John Grisham novel or the
entire Sunday paper?
Isn’t it strange how everyone wants front-row-tickets to concerts or games
but they do whatever is possible to sit at the last row in Church?
Isn’t it strange how we need to know about an event for Church 2-3 weeks
before the day so we can include it in our agenda, but we can adjust it for
other events at the last minute?
Isn’t it strange how difficult it is to learn a fact about God to share it
with others; but
how easy it is to learn, understand, extend and repeat gossip?
Isn’t it strange how we believe everything that magazines and newspapers say
but we question the words in the Bible?
Isn’t it strange how everyone wants a place in heaven but they don’t want to
repent of sin, believe the Gospel and submit to Christ in order to get
there?
Isn’t it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and often forward the Grif.Net
humor right away but when we are going to send messages about God, we think
about it twice before we share it with others?
