LOT'S WIFE
The Sunday School teacher was
describing how Lot's wife looked back and
turned into a pillar of salt, when little Jason interrupted, 'My
Mom looked
back once while she was driving,' he announced triumphantly, 'and
she turned
into a telephone pole!'
GOOD SAMARITAN
A Sunday school teacher was telling her class the story of the Good
Samaritan. She asked the class, 'If you saw a person lying on the
roadside, all
wounded and bleeding, what would you do?' A thoughtful little girl
broke
the hushed silence, 'I think I'd throw up.'
DID NOAH FISH?
A Sunday school teacher asked, 'Johnny, do you think Noah did a lot
of
fishing when he was on the Ark ? ''No,' replied Johnny. 'How could
he, with
just two worms.'
HIGHER POWER
A Sunday school teacher said to her children, 'We have been
learning how
powerful kings and queens were in Bible times. But, there is a
Higher Power.
Can anybody tell me what it is? One child blurted out, 'Aces!'
MOSES AND THE RED SEA
Nine-year-old Joey was asked by
his mother what he had learned in Sunday
School. 'Well, Mom, our teacher told us how God sent Moses behind
enemy
lines on a rescue mission to lead the Israelites out of Egypt .
When he got to
the Red Sea , he had his army build a pontoon bridge and all the
people
walked across safely. Then he radioed headquarters for
reinforcements. They
sent bombers to blow up the bridge and all the Israelites were
saved.' 'Now,
Joey, is that really what your teacher taught you?' his Mother
asked.
'Well, no, Mom. But, if I told it the way the teacher did, you'd
never believe
it!'
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD
A Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize
one of
the most quoted passages in the Bible - Psalm 23. She gave the
youngsters a
month to learn the chapter. Little Rick was excited about the task
- but he
just couldn't remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could
barely get
past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled to
recite
Psalm 23 in front of the congregation, Ricky was so nervous. When
it was his
turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said proudly, 'The Lord
is my
Shepherd, and that's all I need to know.'
UNANSWERED PRAYER
The preacher's 5 year-old daughter noticed that her father always
paused
and bowed his head for a moment before starting his sermon. One
day, she
asked him why. 'Well, Honey,' he began, proud that his daughter was
so
observant of his messages. 'I'm asking the Lord to help me preach a
good sermon.'
'How come He doesn't answer it?' she asked.
UNTIMELY ANSWERED PRAYER
During the minister's prayer one Sunday, there was a loud whistle
from one
of the back pews. Tommy's mother was horrified. She pinched him
into
silence and, after church, asked, 'Tommy, whatever made you do such
a thing?'
Tommy answered soberly, 'I asked God to teach me to whistle, and He
did!'
ALL MEN / ALL GIRLS
When my daughter, Kelli, said her bedtime prayers, she would bless
every
family member, every friend, and every animal (current and past).
For
several weeks, after we had finished the nightly prayer, Kelli
would say, 'And
all girls.' This soon became part of her nightly routine, to
include this
closing. My curiosity got the best of me and I asked her, 'Kelli,
why do you
always add the part about all girls?' Her response, 'Because
everybody
always finish their prayers by saying 'All Men'!'
SAY A PRAYER
Little Johnny and his family were
having Sunday dinner at his
Grandmother's house. Everyone was seated around the table as the
food was being served.
When Little Johnny received his plate, he started eating right
away.
'Johnny! Please wait until we say our prayer.' said his mother. 'I
don't need
to,' the boy replied.
'Of course, you do.' his mother insisted. 'We always say a prayer
before
eating at our house.' 'That's at our house.' Johnny explained. 'But
this is
Grandma's house and she knows how to cook!'
