    Faith and Pain

    Faith is not the way around pain, it is the way through pain.

    Seeing and Believing

    The world says, “I’ll believe it when I see it.”

    The Word says, “I’ll see it when I believe it.”

    Three Meals A Day

    F.F. Bosworth, a great faith preacher some years ago, said that most Christians feed their bodies three hot meals a day, their spirits one cold snack a week, and then wonder why they are so weak in faith!

    This video illustration is taken from the Indiana Jones film – Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade and is one of the best depictions of faith that I have come across. See what you think.

    Running Out Of Petrol

    The bishop’s car ran out of petrol, but much to his relief his wife remembered passing a garage half a mile back down the road. He searched the boot for a container, but he could only find his baby grandson’s potty, so it had to do! He trudged to the petrol station, then back with a full container.
    The leader of a new church, driving by, recognised a fellow Christian in need and stopped his car to offer help. As he approached he saw the bishop pour the contents of the potty into the tank. The man gasped: ‘If I’d known they had faith like that in the Church of England I’d never have left!’

    Lots of Excuses

    Coming home I drove into the wrong house and collided with a tree I don’t have.
    The other car collided with mine without giving warning of its intention.
    I thought my window was down, but I found it was up when I put my head through it.
    I collided with a stationary truck coming the other way.
    A truck backed through my windshield into my wife’s face.
    The guy was all over the road. I had to swerve a number of times before I hit him.
    I pulled away from the side of the road, glanced at my mother-in-law and headed over the embankment.
    In an attempt to kill a fly I drove into a telephone pole.
    I had been shopping for plants all day and was on my way home. As I reached an intersection a hedge sprang up, obscuring my vision and I did not see the other car.
    I had been driving for forty years when I fell asleep at the wheel and had an accident.
    I was on the way to the doctor with rear end trouble when my universal joint gave way causing me to have an accident.
    As I approached an intersection a sign suddenly appeared in a place where no stop sign had ever appeared before. I was unable to stop in time to avoid the accident.
    To avoid hitting the bumper of the car in front I struck a pedestrian.
    My car was legally parked as it backed into another vehicle.
    An invisible car came out of nowhere, struck my car and vanished.
    I told the police that I was not injured, but on removing my hat found that I had a fractured skull.
    I was sure the old fellow would never make it to the other side of the road when I struck him.
    The pedestrian had no idea which way to run as I ran over him.
    I saw a slow moving, sad faced old gentleman as he bounced off the roof of my car.
    The indirect cause of the accident was a little guy in a small car with a big mouth.
    I was thrown from my car as it left the road. I was later found in a ditch by some stray cows.
    The telephone pole was approaching. I was attempting to swerve out of the way when I struck the front end.
