True, isnt it ?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/strong><\/em>
\n it strange<\/strong><\/em>
\n how<\/strong><\/em>
\na 20 dollar bill seems like such a large amount
\nwhen you donate it to church,
\nbut such a
\nsmall amount when you go shopping?<\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/em><\/strong>
\n it strange<\/em><\/strong>
\n how<\/em><\/strong>
\n2 hours seem so long when you’re at church,<\/p>\n

and how short they seem when you’re watching
\na good movie?<\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/strong><\/em>
\n it strange<\/strong><\/em>
\n that<\/strong><\/em>
\nyou can’t find a word to say when you’re praying
\nbut..
\nyou have no trouble thinking what to
\ntalk about with a friend?<\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/em><\/strong>
\n it strange<\/em><\/strong>
\n how<\/em><\/strong>
\ndifficult and boring it is to read one chapter
\nof the Bible but
\nhow easy it is to read 100
\npages of a popular novel or ZANE GREY book?<\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/strong><\/em>
\n it strange<\/strong><\/em>
\nhow everyone wants
\nfront-row-tickets to concerts or games but<\/p>\n

they do whatever is possible to sit at the
\nlast row in Church?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/em><\/strong>
\n it strange<\/em><\/strong>
\nhow we need to know about an
\nevent for Church 2-3 weeks
\nbefore the day so
\nwe can include it in our agenda,
\nbut we can
\nadjust it for other events in the last minute?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/strong><\/em>
\n it strange<\/strong><\/em>
\nhow difficult it is to learn a
\nfact about God to share it with others;
\nbut
\nhow easy it is to learn, understand, extend and
\nrepeat gossip?<\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/strong>
\n it strange<\/strong>
\nhow<\/em><\/strong>
\nwe believe everything that magazines and
\nnewspapers say but…..
\nwe question the
\nwords in the Bible?<\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/em><\/strong>
\n it strange<\/em><\/strong>
\nhow<\/em><\/strong>
\neveryone wants a place in heaven but…..
\nthey
\ndon’t want to believe, do, or say anything to
\nget there?<\/p>\n

Isn’t<\/em><\/strong>
\n it strange<\/em><\/strong>
\nhow<\/em><\/strong>
\nwe send jokes in e-mails and they are forwarded
\nright away but
\nwhen we are going to send
\nmessages about God,
\nwe think about it twice
\nbefore we share it with others?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

IT’S<\/em><\/strong>
\n STRANGE ISN’T IT?<\/em><\/strong>
\nNow that you’ve read this
\nmessage, will you forward it to anybody?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
