“Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously, will also reap generously. Each man should give what he has decided in his heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver” (2 Cor. 9:6-7). ISN’T IT FUNNY: “Funny how a $10 bill looks so big when you take it to worship, but so small when you take it to the supermarket – Funny how reading the church bulletin is a chore, but reading a 30 page newspaper every day is a habit you’ve grown to enjoy – Funny how long an hour is spent in worship, but how short it is when golfing, fishing, or attending a ball game – Funny how we applaud when the all ball game goes overtime, but we complain if the worship hour goes over its regular time – Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Bible, but how easy it is to read a 300 page novel – Funny how people scramble to get to a front seat at a ball game, but scramble to get a back seat at church – Funny how we can’t fit a Gospel meeting into our schedule, but we can adjust our schedule for other events at a moment’s notice – Funny that parents are so concerned about school lessons but are completely unconcerned about Bible lessons – Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided he/she doesn’t have to believe, or to think, or to say, or to do anything. All of this would be funny, IF it weren’t so tragic.” – Selected
