For his upcoming Sunday sermon, the minister asked his congregation to prepare their hearts for the message by reading Mark 17 at least once during the week.
The following Sunday, as he stood to begin his sermon, he asked for a show of hands. "How many of you read Mark 17 once this week?"
Every hand went up.
The minister smiled and said, "The Gospel of Mark has only sixteen chapters.
Which brings us to the title of this morning's message, 'The Sin of Lying"" |
