Christian One Liners

Christian One Liners These one liners not only are true… but they are a funny way to think about our faith. It’s good to laugh every now and then, so we hope you like these one liners!: — —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  —  — Many folks want to serve God, but only as advisers. It is easier to preach ten sermons than it is to live one. The good Lord didn’t create anything without a purpose, but mosquitoes come close. When you get to your wit’s end, you’ll find God lives there. People are funny, they want the front of the bus, the middle of the...

A Slice of Life

Jean heaved another world-weary sigh. Tucking a strand of shiny black hair behind her ear, she frowned at the teetering tower of Christmas cards waiting to be signed. What was the point?

Speeding Home

This is an older story but it’s a must-read for anyone who never has. Jack took a long look at his speedometer before slowing down: 73 in a 55 zone. Fourth time in as many months. How could a guy get caught so often? When his car had slowed to 10 miles an hour, Jack pulled over, but only partially. Let the cop worry about the potential traffic hazard. Maybe some other car will tweak his backside with a mirror. The cop was stepping out of his car, the big pad in hand. Bob? Bob from Church? Jack sunk farther...
