IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT

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 popular novel or ZANE GREY book?

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 in 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 believe, do, or say anything to get there?

Isn't it strange how we send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded right away, but when we are going to send messages about God, we think about it twice before we share it with others?

IT'S STRANGE ISN'T IT?

Now that you've read this message, forward it to anybody that you consider a friend, family member or foe (enemy). If you don't do it not only you will deprive yourself from being blessed, but you will also do that to others who may need God in their life.


edited because the formatting was insane, & i don't even know if it was intended to be like that or not, it's just how it showed up in my inbox

A bit off base, in my personal experience, but it's easily the finest piece of spam I've ever seen.

Isn't it strange that people want to share spam on messageboards?

isn't it strange that the people who complain about sharing of spam on messageboards use phrases from said spam?

Aahahahahah.. that's a pretty funny joke.

Oh wait, maybe they were serious. It seems that the point of the message is: church is a complete waste of time and money, the bible sucks, and no one really likes church anyways.

How did that help me find God?

You see this point, because it's the one you want to see.

Darn... you beat me too.

In news recently Alabama's governor said that the hurricane was God's wrath for our sinful lives. Worse, 1/3 of people in Alabama polled agreed with him.
