A small boy stunned his parents after church one Sunday when he began to empty his pockets of nickels, dimes, and quarters.

Finally his mother asked the obvious question: “Where did you get all that money?”

“At Sunday school,” the boy replied nonchalantly. “They have bowls of it.”

I’ve learned that even when I have pains, I don’t have to be one.

Work hard and cheerfully at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people” (Colossians 3:23 NLT). It’s easier to be enthusiastic about your job when you turn the focus of your work from “I’m doing this for my boss” or “I’m doing this for a paycheck” to “I’m doing this for the Lord.” With that in mind, you can do anything — scrape paint, wash dishes, repair a car — and turn it into worship.

An irritated father complained to his golf buddy, “When I was a kid, my parents sent me to my room without supper if I misbehaved. But my son has his own TV, telephone, computer, and every computer game and CD player in his room!”

“So how do you handle it?” his friend asked.

“I send him to MY room!”

Jesus said, “But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well” (Matthew 6:33, NLT). Put God first in your life, and you’ll have more time. Whatever you need more of in your life, give God first place in that area.

“Did you ever see the customers in health-food stores?
They are pale skinny people who look half-dead.

In a steak house you see robust, ruddy people.
They’re dying, of course, but they look terrific.” – Bill Cosby

God doesn’t bless dishonesty. The Bible says, “The Lord demands fairness in every business deal” (Proverbs 16:11 NLT). That includes wages, sales, and taxes.

Eye have run this poem threw it
I am shore your pleased two no
Its letter perfect awl the weigh
My chequer tolled me sew.

“When I, the Son of Man, return, how many will I find on earth who have faith?” Luke 18:8 (NLT)

If you have great faith, you will have great blessing. If you have a little faith, you will receive a little blessing. But if you have no faith, God’s blessing will not be in your life.

Confronted by two doctors and an HMO manager at the Pearly Gates, St. Peter asked them to identify and explain themselves.

The first doctor stepped forward. “I was a pediatric spine surgeon and helped children overcome deformities!” “You may enter,” St. Peter said.

The second doctor stepped up. “I was a psychiatrist and helped people find peace!” St. Peter ushered him through the gates.

The HMO manager stepped forward. “As an HMO manager, I helped people get cost-effective health care!” St. Peter waved him forward, but stopped him right as he got to the gates.

“You may stay for three days. After that, you’re out of here!”

We need to let God grow his love in us, so that we can love others the way God loves us. The Bible says, “There is no fear in love; perfect love drives out all fear” (1 John 4:18a TEV).

Adam was walking outside of the Garden of Eden with Cain and Abel when the boys were young. Cain and Abel looked into the garden and viewed waterfalls, lovely birds, lush forests and fruit trees bending over because of the large amounts of fruit on them.

Then they took a long look at where they lived. It was dry, dusty with weeds and sickly-looking trees.

“Daddy? Why don’t we live in there instead of out here?” they asked innocently.

Adam said, “Well sons. Eve and I use to live in there at one time. But your mother ate us out of house and home.”

When we go on mission for God, like Jesus, we “teach the way of God in accordance with the truth” (Luke 20:21 NIV). We report that Truth is a person and that God is love.

A professor – an atheist – was teaching a college class and he told the class that he was going to prove that there is no a God.

He said, “God if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you 15 minutes!”

Ten minutes went by. He kept taunting God, saying, “Here I am God, I’m still waiting”

He got down to the last couple of minutes and a BIG 240 pound football player happened to walk by the door and heard about what the professor said.

The football player walked in the classroom and in the last minute, he walked up, hit the professor full force, and sent him flying off the platform.

The professor got up, obviously shaken and said, “Where did you come from, and why did you do that?”

The football player replied, “God was busy. He sent me.”

“The glum, sour faces of many Christians. … They rather give the impression that, instead of coming from the Father’s joyful banquet, they have just come from the Sheriff who has auctioned off their sins and now are sorry they can’t get them back again.” – Helmut Thielicke
