Pass this on

I don’t really entertain chain letters but this is one letter (from a high school classmate) I want to propagate. I just finished reading The Heavenly Man and I had some soul searching about my own Christian commitment.

“If someone had a gun held in front of your face and asked you if you believed in God, what would you do? Say no and feel ashamed the rest of your life? Or say yes, i do, and die standing up for God?

“If you would say no, delete this e-mail now. If you would say yes and stand up for Jesus Christ, please read this and pass on.

“Note: this is a true article that was printed in a southern newspaper less then 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."

”If you believe this little girl is telling the truth that even though she had never heard of Jesus, he still held her the night her parents died, then you will forward this to as many people as you can.

”Or you can delete it as if it never touched your heart.

“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 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 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 we can go to church for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week?

”Funny how i can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me.

”Pass this on only if you mean it.

”Yes, i do love God!”

May I add my own: Funny how we think we can be anonymous to God. He knows us more than we do ourselves. He's just waiting for us to come to Him.
