The following article came to me recently and I contended that I should pass it on.  It has been slightly edited and a conclusion added.

 

   George Phillips of Meridian, Mississippi was going up to bed when his wife told him that he'd left the light on in the garden shed, which she could see from the bedroom window.

   George opened the back door to go turn off the light but saw that there were people in the shed stealing things. He phoned the police, who asked "Is someone in your house?" and he said "No". Then they said that all patrols were now busy, and that he should simply lock his door and an officer would be along when available.

George said, "Okay," hung up, counted to 30, and phoned the police again.

   "Hello I just called you a few seconds ago because there were people in my shed. Well, you don't have to worry about them now cause I've just shot them all." Then he hung up.

   Within five minutes three police cars, an Armed Response unit, and an ambulance showed up at the Phillips residence. Of course, the police caught the burglars red-handed.

   One of the Policemen said to George: "I thought you said that you'd shot them!"

   George said, "I thought you said there was nobody available!"

 

   It is really strange how we humans fail to assist one another when in need.  Of course in the above situation priorities were determined.  May we as servants of God always strive to help those in need to the best of our abilities.

 

   Plainly, don’t get short changed.  Let’s be ready to meet our Maker.  The Bible teaches that to avoid hell and gain heaven - one must:

 

 1) Believe In Jesus As Savior (Acts 16:31)  2) Repent Of Sins  (Acts 17:30)   3) Confess Christ Audibly (Acts 8:37)   4) Be Baptized In   Water (Acts 2:38)   5) Live A  Christian Life (Acts 14:22)   6) Be Active In the Church (Acts 2:47)
