Isn't It Funny...
 
Funny how a $20.00 bill looks so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall.
 
Funny how big an hour serving God looks, and how small 60 minutes are when spent watching television, playing sports, sleeping or taking lunch breaks.
 
Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church are, but how short they are when watching a good movie.
 
Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Bible, but how easy it is to read 200-300 pages of a best selling novel.
 
Funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
 
Funny how people scramble to get a front seat at a concert, but scramble to get a back seat at church.
 
Funny how we cannot fit a church function into our schedule with our yearly planner, but we can schedule for other events at a moment's notice.
 
Funny how we are rarely late to work, but always late to church.
 
Funny how we call God our Father, and Jesus our brother, but find it hard to introduce them to our family.
 
Funny how small our sins seems, but how big their sins are.
 
Funny how we demand justice from others, but expect mercy from God.
 
Funny how much difficulty some people have learning the gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is to understand and explain the latest gossip about someone else.
 
Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but we don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about a friend.
 
Funny how we are so quick to take directions from a stranger when we are lost, but are hesitant to take God's direction for our lives.
 
Funny how so many church goers sing "Standing on the Promises" but all they do is sit on the premises.
 
Funny how people want God to answer their prayers, but refuse to listen to His counsel.
 
Funny how we sing about heaven, but live only for today.
 
Funny how people think they are going to heaven, but think there is no hell.
 
Funny how people feel it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering in the world, but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant.
 
Funny how when something goes wrong, we cry, "Lord, why me?"  But when something goes right, we think, "Hey, it must be me!"
 
...Or wait...maybe it isn't so "funny" after all!
