Hogs And Hypocrites
A Christian once visited a farmer to talk to him about Christ.
"I wouldn't come to church up there." the farmer said.
"I know old John, church goer, who claims to be a Christian and James, church
goer, who also claims to be a Christian and they don't live any differently
from me. I'm as good as they are."
Everywhere the farmer went he told about the hypocrites in that Church.
Months passed and the Christian went to see the farmer again. "I want to
buy a hog", said the Christian.
The farmer showed all his best hogs to him. Then they came to the runt.
"I believe I will take that one" the, Christian said.
BUT you don't want that one. He's the worst runt to the litter.
"I sure do" said the Christian. So they loaded the runt in the truck.
"Now" said the Christian "what if I take this pig here from your farm and
ride all over this area telling folks that this is the kind of hogs you raise?"
"That's not fair!" the farmer exclaimed." I have some nice hogs and
you want to show people that runt?!"....
To which the Christian replied "If it's fair for the church it's fair for
the hogs!"
LESSON: One man's character doesn't count for a squad unless it is a one-man-squad.
