Isn't it Funny?
The following is not original and we are unable to establish its true origin since there are a number of claims to its authorship.
Nevertheless, we are indebted to the person who made the effort to compose this thought provoking and potentially challenging item.
- Funny how we call God our Father and Jesus our Friend, but find it hard to introduce them to our family.
- Funny how much difficulty some have learning the gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is to understand and explain the latest gossip about someone else.
- Funny how a £20.00 note looks so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the supermarket.
- Funny how big an hour serving God looks and how small 60 minutes are when spent watching television, playing sports, sleeping or taking a lunch break.
- Funny how long a couple of hours spent at Church is but how short they are when watching a good movie.
- Funny how we get thrilled when a football match goes into extra time, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time.
- Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Bible and how easy it is to read 200-300 pages of a best selling novel.
- Funny how we believe what newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
- Funny how people scramble to get a front seat at a concert, but scramble to get a back seat at the church service.
- Funny how we cannot fit a gospel meeting into our schedule with our yearly planner but we can schedule for other events at a moment's notice.
- Funny how we look forward to that big date on Friday night, but complain about getting up for church on Sunday morning.
- Funny how we are rarely late to work, but always late to church.
- Funny how small our sins seem, but how big their sins are.
- Funny how we demand justice for others, but expect mercy from God.
- Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
- Funny how we are so quick to take directions from a total stranger when we are lost, but are hesitant to take God's direction for our lives.
- Funny how so many churchgoers sing "Standing on The Promises" but all they do is sit on the premises.
- Funny how people want God to answer their prayers but refuse to listen to His Counsel.
- Funny how we sing about heaven, but live only for today.
- Funny how people think they are going to Heaven but don't think there is a hell.
- Funny how it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering in the world, but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant.
- Funny how when something goes wrong, we cry, "Lord, why me?" but when something goes right, we think, "Hey, it must be me!"
