The Test

Several years ago, a new preacher moved to Houston, Texas. Some weeks after he arrived, he had occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change.
As he considered what to do, he thought to himself, "You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it." Then he thought, "Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet."
When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, "Here, you gave me too much change."
The driver with a smile replied, "Aren't you the new preacher in town? I have been thinking lately about going to worship somewhere. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much change. I'll see you at church on Sunday"
When the preacher stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, "Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter."
Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read . This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians and will put us to the test! Always be on guard and remember
(as I try to remember) that you carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself "Christian." I'm glad I got this forwarded to me as a reminder. YOU should forward it too . I hope you all have a great day!!!

My prospective sister-in-law was twenty-two, wore very tight miniskirts, and generally was bra-less. She would regularly bend down when she was near me, and I always got more than a nice view. It had to be deliberate. Because she never did it when she was near anyone else.
One day her "little" sister called and asked me to come over to check the wedding invitations. She was alone when I arrived, and she whispered to me that she had feelings and desires for me that she couldn't overcome. She told me that she wanted me just once before I got married and committed my life to her sister. Well, I was in total shock, and couldn't say a word.
She said, "I'm going upstairs to my bedroom, and if you want one last wild fling, just come up and get me."
I was stunned and frozen in shock as I watched her go up the stairs. I stood there for a moment, then turned and made a beeline straight to the front door.
I opened the door, and headed straight towards my car. Lo and behold, my entire future family was standing outside, all clapping!
With tears in his eyes, my father-in-law hugged me and said, "We are very happy that you have passed our little test. We couldn't ask for a better man for our daughter. Welcome to the family."
And the moral of this story is:
Always keep your condoms in your car.
Jesus and Satan were having an ongoing argument about
who was better at using the computer. They had been
going at it for days, and God was tired of hearing all
the bickering. Finally, God said, "Cool it. I am going
to set up a test which will take two hours and it will
judge who does the better job."
> > > > > >
So Satan and Jesus sat down at the keyboards and typed
away.
They moused.
They did spreadsheets.
They wrote reports.
They sent faxes.
They sent e-mails.
They sent out e-mails with attachments.
They downloaded.
They did some genealogy reports.
They made cards.
They did every known job.
But, ten minutes before the time was up, lightning
suddenly flashed across the sky, thunder rolled, the
rain poured, and of course, the electricity went off.
Satan stared at his blank screen and screamed every
curse word known in the underworld.
Jesus just sighed.
The electricity finally flickered back on, and each of
them restarted their computers. Satan started
searching, frantically screaming, "It's gone! It's all
gone! I lost everything when the power went out!"
Meanwhile, Jesus quietly started printing out all his
files from the past two hours.
Satan observed this and became even more irate. "Wait!
He cheated! How did he do it??!!"
God shrugged and said, "Jesus Saves."
"When you choose the lesser of two evils, always remember that it is still an evil."
