Amos: What's with the headgear?
Nim: It's my tin-foil hat. The Bible says we should be kind to aliens, so I'm just preparing myself for when their flying saucers get here.
Amos: But the aliens the Bible refers to are people from other countries.
Nim: You are so naive, my friend! Other countries don't even HAVE flying saucers.
“…You shall not reap to the very corners of your field nor gather the gleaning of your harvest; you are to leave them for the needy and the alien.” – Leviticus 23:22
Don’t look for God to just be a big vending machine, where you pull a lever and what you ask for drops down. Keep your prayers sincere and Christ-centered.
Nim: You lied to me! You said prayer works, but it doesn't!
Con: What?
Nim: I prayed for a million dollars and I didn't get squat.
Con: That's not prayer! Thats just looking to God to just give you what YOU want. Honest prayer is selfless and sincere. It draws you closer to God.
Nim: I guess I need to call the dealership and cancel my Porsche, huh?
Con: A Porsche? What would you do with a Porsche?
Con: Give it to my owner so I could hang my head out the window like this!
Some churches are big and others are small. It doesn’t matter which you go to as long as you’re having fellowship in God. Find the church that fits you best.
“Never pay back evil with more evil. Do things in such a way that everyone can see you are honorable.Do all that you can to live in peace with everyone.” – Romans 12:17-18
You can read about the Parable of the Virgins in Matthew 25. It says that we must be prepared at all times for Christ’s return because none of us knows when it will be.
Abby: Well, it took every penny I had, but now I'm prepared!
Abby: I didn't want to be without lamp oil like the virgins in Matthew 25, so I bought 40 cases of the stuff!
Con: Abby, surely you know that the Parable of Ten Virgins is a metaphor for the fact that we all need to be SPIRITUALLY prepared for Christ's return. Not that we need to buy lamp oil!
Abby: So I spent all this money on oil when I could have spent it on new shoes?!
