Phil. 4:13 & The Church Goer

 

THEY SAID IT COULDN'T BE DONE

Author unknown. 

Do your children say, "No, I can't!"  This is a great poem for children to memorize before school begins.  Philippians 4:13 is a great scripture verse to go along with this poem:  "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me."

 

Somebody said that it couldn't be done,
But he with a chuckle replied,
That maybe it couldn't, but he would be one
Who wouldn't say "No" till he tried.
So he buckled right in, with a trace of a grin
On his face.  If he worried, he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn't be done and he DID it!

 

THE CHURCH GOER 

A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday.  "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them.  So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all."

 

This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher:

 

I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals.  But I do know this: They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!"
                                          
When Satan is knocking at your door, simply say, "Jesus could you get that for me?"
