An elderly woman had just returned to her home from an evening of Church services when she was startled by an intruder. She caught the man in the act of robbing her home of its valuables and yelled, "Stop! Acts 2:38!" (Repent and be baptized, in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven.)
The burglar stopped in his tracks. The woman calmly called the police and explained what she had done. As the officer cuffed the man to take him in, he asked the burglar, "Why did you just stand there? All the old lady did was yell a scripture to you."
"Scripture?" replied the burglar. "She said she had an ax and two 38's!"
A man and his wife were having an argument about who should brew the coffee each morning. The wife said, "You should do it, because you get up first, and then we don't have to wait as long to get our coffee".
The husband said, " You are in charge of the cooking around here and you should do it, because that is your job, and I can just wait for my coffee."
Wife replies, "No you should do it, and besides it is in the Bible that the man should do the coffee." Husband replies, " I can't believe that, show me." So she fetched the Bible, and opened the New Testament and shows him at the top of several pages, that it indeed says...
"HEBREWS"
One fine evening a man walked in a fast-food chain and bought a nine-piece bucket of chicken. He took his chicken to the park for a romantic picnic ynder the moonlight with his woman.
Upon reaching into the bucket, however he received a surprise. Instead of chicken he discovered what was apparently the restaurant's night deposit- nine thousand dollars. The young man brought the bucket back to the store and asked for his chicken in exchange for the money.
The manager, in awe of the young man's honesty , asked for his name and told him he wanted to call the newspaper and the local news station to do a story in him. He would become a local hero, an example of honesty and morality that would inspire others!
The hungry man shrugged it off. "My date's waiting . I just want my chicken." The manager's renewed amazement over the young man's humility almnost overwhelmed him. He begged to be allowed to tell the story on the news. At this the honest man became angry with the manager and demanded his chicken. "I don't get it," the manager responded. "You are an honest man in a dishonest world! This is a perfect opportunity to show the world that there are honest people still willing to take a stand for what is right. Please give meyour name and also the woman's name. Is that your wife?"
"That's the problem," said the young man. "My wife is at home . The woman in the car is my girlfriend. Now let me have my chicken so I can get out of here."
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED
It's easy to look good to people who don't know you. Many of us do a good deed here and there, go to church, say the right words, and everyone thinks we're something that we're not. But God sees your heart (1 Samuel 16:7). It really doesn't matter how much you do or what other people think of you. What matters is what's oin the inside.
Amazing Grace
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
was blind, but now I see.

"I Need You To Love Me"
by BarlowGirl
Why, why are You still here with me
Didn't You see what I've done?
In my shame I want to run and hide myself
But it's here I see the truth
I don't deserve You
