Funny isn't it?

Funny how Rs.100/- looks so big when we take it to church and so small when we take it to the store.

Funny how big an hour serving God looks and how small 60 minutes are when spent playing ball, fishing or golfing.

Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Bible and how easy it is to read 2300 pages of a best selling book.

Funny how we believe what a person or newspaper says, but question what the Bible says.

Funny how we can’t think of anything to say when we pray and don’t have any difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.

Funny how we need two or three weeks to fit a church event into our schedule, but can adjust it for a social event of the last minute.

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 how someone can say, “I believe in God” but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also “believes” in God).

Funny how we are quick to judge but not to be judged.

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 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?……….Author Unknown
