HUMOR: God as a Southpaw

Little Bobby was spending the weekend with his grandmother.
His grandmother decided to take him to the park on Saturday morning.
It had been snowing all night and everything was beautiful.

His grandmother remarked... "doesn't it look like an artist painted this scenery?
Did you know God painted this just for you?"

Bobby said, "Yes, God did it and he did it left handed."

This confused his grandmother a bit, and she asked him
"What makes you say God did this with his left hand?"
"Well," said Bobby, "we learned at Sunday School last week that Jesus sits on God's right hand!"

Did you know Sunday was Pentecost?

We all know when Christmas and Easter roll around, but did you notice a MAJOR Christian holiday when it came around this Sunday? Believe it or not, it was Pentcost the day that the Holy Spirit descended on the early disciples.

Time and Date.com says, "As recorded in the New Testament of the Bible, it was on the 50th day after Easter that the apostles were praying together and the Holy Spirit descended on them. They received the “gift of tongues” – the ability to speak in other languages – and immediately began to preach about Jesus Christ to Jewish people from all over the world who flocked to Jerusalem for the Feast of Shavuot.
According to church tradition, Pentecost is always about seven weeks after Easter Sunday, or 50 days after Easter, including Easter Day."
The symbols of Pentecost are those of the Holy Spirit and include flames, wind, and a dove.

HUMOR: The Rich Man & God

At a church meeting a very wealthy man rose to tell the rest of those present about his Christian faith. "I'm a millionaire," he said, "and I attribute it all to the rich blessings of God in my life. I remember that turning point in my faith. I had just earned my first dollar and I went to a church meeting that night. The speaker was a missionary who told about his work. I knew that I only had a dollar bill and had to either give it all to God's work or nothing at all. So at that moment I decided to give my whole dollar to God. I believe that God blessed that decision, and that is why I am a rich man today."

He finished and there was an awed silence at his testimony as he moved toward his seat. As he sat down a little old lady sitting in the same pew leaned over and said to him: "I dare you to do it again."

It never hurts to try

Study Tip: Are you a special or a generalist? The best quizzers are generalists - they know a little bit of everything from the questions list, FTV list, Reference list, etc. But by now, if you are not already a generalist, it is time to consider becoming a specialist. Consider specializing in a special kind of question - memorize FTVs, learn the Reference Questions, focus on keywords, or learn a specific subclass of question like all the ones with the answer "God". You may even want to specialize by learning the small but significant list of situation questions in 1 and 2 Corinthians.

Humor: Honesty is the best policy

A Minister was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age.

The group had surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?"

One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog."

Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."

There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."

Keywords (or "once-used-words") are words used in only one verse in both of the books we are studying. By learning these keywords, you are learning "landmarks" in that tell you EXACTLY where you are in the text. Consider spending some extra time with the keywords list this week to sharpen your skills.
