;D - Not God, Jesus or the Holy Spirit - so who does that leave?
Thought this might bring a smile to your face from the Lord - it did for me tonight - absolutely cracked up in Church as did everyone else.
Had a visiting Pastor speaking tonight - Carl Lentz, Youth Pastor - Wave Church, Virginia Beach. He actually went through Bible College here in Australia at my church and married a local girl.
Anyway - he was speaking of - returning to God for your Joy. Every day the devil will try and steal it from you. A lot was based on Psalm 107 and other bits. Very good, full of energy and uplifting.
What made us all crack up?: Carl was talking about JOY and how his "4" yr old daughter is their joy - it just continuously spills out of her mouth (typical 4yr old). She doesn't want bedtime stories she keeps telling him at bedtime "preach to me daddy about Jesus - preach it daddy).
Carl lost his grandfather a short while ago and they all went to the funeral. At the service the Pastor got up as his daughter has seen him do many times and asked them to turn to Matthew something or other. He then began preaching along the lines of:
Jesus said there would be trouble
Jesus said there would be hard times etc etc etc
Carl said his daughter began wriggling on his knee with great purpose - to get off and did so very quickly and before he could cover her mouth she blurted out for ALL to hear:
"WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS MAN DADDY?"
How wonderful is that - out of the mouths of babes on JESUS.
