A Strange World

How funny 100 shillings looks so big when we take it to church but so small when we take it to shop.

Funny how long 60 minutes is when we are serving God, but how short when we are watching a movie, playing a game or having a favourite pastime.

Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Bible but how easy it is to read a 200 – 300 pages of the best novel.

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

Funny how we need 2 – 3 weeks to fit a church event in our schedule but no problem adjusting for a social event at the last minute.

Funny how we can’t think of anything to say but we don’t have any problem of things to gossip about a friend.


Funny how we get thrilled when a soccer match goes into extra time but complain when a church sermon takes longer than the regular time.

Funny how people scramble to get the front seat at any event but scramble to get the back seat during church service.

Funny how difficult it is to share a gospel with others but how simple it is to talk about anything else.

Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided, they don’t have to believe, think or do anything else.
