Hey guys & gals,
I know we've spoken of this before, but I got an email today that made me more than a little uncomfortable. I'm going to post it here in its entirety, and would like your comments.
Based on the situation as retold in the story, I would probably be going to jail, because I would have shot someone.
I realize it's one of those "contrived stories" put together to make the point, but we all go through scenarios mentally to be prepared. What would you do?
Tell me what you think:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Would you run?
Imagine this happening to you.
One Sunday morning during service,
a 2,000 member congregation was
surprised to see two men enter,
both covered from head to toe in black
and carrying submachine guns.
One of the men proclaimed,"Anyone
willing to take a bullet for Christ
remain where you are."
Immediately, the choir fled, the deacons fled,
and most of the congregation fled.
Out of the 2,000 there only remained around 20.
The man who had spoken took off his hood,
looked at the preacher and said
"Okay Pastor, I got rid of all
the hypocrites. Now you may begin
your service. Have a nice day!"
And the two men turned and walked out.
Too deep not to pass on...
I picked you~
My instructions were to send this to people
that I wanted God to bless and I picked you.
