You Gotta Be Kidding Me…

Jump to Comments

So last Saturday evening, my wife and I celebrated our anniversary (12/18, three years!) and her birthday (12/13, won’t say how many years by going out to dinner and attending a local church’s Christmas musical. This is a huge church of another denomination in this area, and they sent out two free tickets to all area pastors. So this being the end of the year and such, it was a nice inexpensive night out without the baby! However, toward the end of the musical (which was great by the way), the senior pastor came out and gave a very nice 5 minute presentation of the gospel, and invited folks to bow their heads and pray “the sinner’s prayer” with him. Wonderful! But then he called our attention to the response card in the program, where we could indicate if we had made a decision to begin a relationship with God through Jesus that evening. His comment was, “If you did that tonight, and you meant it, I’d like to send you something in the mail.” C’mon! You gotta be kidding me! Someone has just made the most important decision of their lives, to begin a relationship with God through Jesus Christ, and you want to send them something in the mail?!? Then after loudly whispering that to my wife… I apologized to her, because we were on a date, after all.
