Funny, Isn’t It?

• Funny how a $100 “looks” so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall.
• Funny how long it takes to serve God for an hour, but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
• Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church are, but how short they are when watching a movie.
• Funny how we can’t think of anything to say when we pray, but don’t have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
• Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time.
• Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in the bible, but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.
• Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back seat at church services.
• Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a church event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.
• Funny how hard it is for people learn a simple gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip.
• 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, or to think, or to say, or do anything.
• 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.
