Elijah:
The
Sunday school teacher in a little country church was carefully
explaining the story of Elijah and the false prophets of Baal.
She explained how Elijah built the altar, put wood upon it,
cut the bullock in pieces, and laid it upon the altar. And then,
Elijah commanded the people of God to fill four barrels of water
and pour it over the altar. He had them do this four times.
"Now," said the teacher, "can anyone in the class
tell me why the Lord would have Elijah pour water over the bullock
on the altar?"
A
little girl in the back of the room started waving her hand,
"I know! I know!" she said, "To make the gravy!"
Lot's
wife
The Sunday School teacher was describing how Lot's wife looked
back and turned into a pillar of salt. Little Jason interrupted,
"My Mummy looked back once, while she was driving,"
he announced triumphantly, "and she turned into a telephone
pole!"
Noah
A
Sunday school teacher asked, "Johnny, do you think Noah
did a lot of fishing when he was on the Ark ?" "No,"
replied David. " How could he, with just two worms?"
Psalm
23
A
Sunday School teacher decided to have her young class memorize
one of the most quoted passages in the Bible; Psalm 23. She
gave the youngsters a month to learn the verses.
Little Rick was excited about the task -- but, he just couldn't
remember the Psalm. After much practice, he could barely get
past the first line. On the day that the kids were scheduled
to recite Psalm 23 in front of the class, Ricky was so nervous.
When it was his turn, he stepped up to the microphone and said
proudly, "The Lord is my Shepherd, and that's all I need
to know."
