Funny?

Funny how a $100 "looks" so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall.
Funny how long it takes to serve God for an hour,but how quickly a team plays 60 minutes of basketball.
Funny how long a couple of hours spent at church are, but how short they are when watching a movie.
Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
Funny how we get thrilled when a baseball game goes into extra innings, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time.
Funny how hard it is to read a chapter in the bible,but how easy it is to read 100 pages of a best selling novel.
Funny how people want to get a front seat at any game or concert, but scramble to get a back seat at church services.
Funny how we need 2 or 3 weeks advance notice to fit a church event into our schedule, but can adjust our schedule for other events at the last moment.
Funny how hard it is for people to learn a simple gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is for the same people to understand and repeat gossip.
Funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, or to think, or to say, or do anything.
Funny how christians can know so much about the world and so little about God.
Funny how a church can do something totally unbiblical and people embrace it and call it grace.

that's true, that's true! we are so unworthy and undeserving if only we would realize the depths of our sin and the love of ourselves we would hate sin the way God does and not embrace it. May God open our eyes daily to see this and the infinite riches of Christ that He so deserves.

And to take it step further, not only to see the ugly sin, But ask God to purge, uproot it, and clinse us from all unrighteous, and to replenish it with his righeousness.
