Joke of the day!
I was with my son at his middle school today, at the afterschool Christian club, First Priority. One of the kid’s father, who is a pastor, was speaking about putting God first. He told the kids that they need to do three things: study, pray, and do. He stated that they need to talk to God, and allow Him to talk to them. Then he asked if the kids had a best friend. He stated that God needed to be their best friend.
Then he asked, “When your best friend calls you on the phone, how do you know its them?
One kid hollered out an answer: Caller ID

That didn’t help the pastor too much with his “know His Voice” illustration!
modern life…
he could still work that in to the illustration… just because the caller ID says your friend’s name, doesn’t mean that the person calling on the other end is your friend… it could be someone else in the family, it could be someone using there telephone and calling you… the only way you will know if it is your friend, is if you pick up the phone and listen for not only the way their voice sounds but what they say…
many have claimed to be Christ – but the voice wasn’t His
many claim to speak for Christ – but they don’t say the things He does
Knowing God and being intimately acquainted with His Voice is the only way to discern the voice we hear when we can’t see the form.
Oh…the pastor did work with it…because all the kids laughed, and then someone said that they know his voice…but it was funny for a minute.
Very cute! Sounds just like some of the jokes I post on my blog … except this was for real! I remember Art Linkletter used to host a program called, “Kids say the darndest things.” I’ll bet this would’ve made the show.
Oh don’t ya just love how kids see the world?!! I would have loved to have seen that man’s face when he heard that!
I hope he was wise enough to bring a good analogy out of that!
Lol I love how he reveals the obvious. Quite witty for a kid.
That’s funny that you can’t read my site. My sister said the same thing. No one else has said anything tho. When I go there, my text is deep brown and my background is bright yellow so it shows up well. I’m not sure what everyone else is seeing, but that’s what I programmed in so who knows???
