2 Cor. 4 16-18

So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal.
2 Corinthians 4:16-18

The Pastor and the Salesman.

A salesman selling cleaning supplies said to a Pastor: “What good does it do, to have a Bible or to believe in God? Look at all the misery and anguish in the world, after thousands of years it appears to have done little or no good. If God is so real why does this misery and anguish go on day after day?”

 The Pastor was quiet, than took the cleaning supply salesman outside. There was a group of young boys playing soccer, each one covered in dust and dirt. “Look,” said the Pastor, “for many generations we have soap available for people like this, yet they are as dirty as pigs. What is the use to have soap?”

“Wait a minute Pastor,” said the cleaning supply salesman, “soap only works when it is used!”


“Exactly,” exclaimed the Pastor, “it is the same with Gods Word!”
