Today in Church - A True Story -

Our pastor (nowhere as dynamic or Godly as Pastor Ezekiel) spoke today on the virtues of giving. It was a wonderful message and gave the people a lot of information regarding the Bible's views of tithing and giving back to God what is truly His - which everything, of course, is.
On the steps outside the church, Sister Lolly rather loudly asked the pastor if her tithes were not satisfactory. "It seems that message was aimed at me, Reverend."
The pastor smiled and said, "God speaks to us at times without calling our names. The Holy Spirit urges us to follow what God tells us." Well, you would have thought he threw up on her fake leather shoes. She gets all huffy and says, "Well, let's see how you do without my tithes, pastor. Let's see what God says then." Right about that time another sister humbly and lovingly told the pastor that she was going to increase her offerings and tithe even more than 10 percent.
The pastor looked at the first woman and said, "God always provides. Always."
I love it when the Lord makes things happen like that. I don't think Sister Lolly will darken the doors of our sanctuary again. Cheap ol' biddy. May God bless and keep her - far away from us.
Proverbs 21:31 KJV 1611:
“The horse is prepared against the day of battell: but safetie is of the Lord.”
Lord, may I serve my equine brothers and sisters just as I do my fellow man. Amen and Amen
