Just read this.
This one should keep us all thinking
This is a true story of something that happened just a few years ago at USC
There was a professor of philosophy there who was a deeply committed atheist
His primary goal for one required class was to spend the entire semester to prove that God couldn't exist
His students were always afraid to argue with him because of his impeccable logic
Sure, some had argued in class at times, but no one had ever really gone against him because of his reputation
At the end of every semester on the last day, he would say to his class of 300 students
"If there is anyone here who still believes in Jesus, stand up!"
In TWENTY years NO ONE had ever stood up.
They knew what he was going to do next
He would say, "Because anyone who believes in God is a FOOL!"
If God existed he could stop this peice of chalk from hitting the ground and breaking
Such a simple task to prove that "He is God, and yet He can't do it."
And every year he would drop the chalk onto the tile floor of the classroom
And it would shatter into a million pieces
All of the students would do nothing but stop and stare
Most of the students thought that God couldn't exist
Certainly, a number of Christians had slipped through, but for 20 years, they had been too afraid to stand up
Well, a few years ago there was a freshman who happened to enroll
He was a christian and had heard the stories about his professor
He was required to take the class for his major, and he was afraid
But for three months that semester, he prayed every morning
that he wouldhave the courage to stand up no matter what the professor said or what the class thought
Nothing they said could ever shatter his faith...he hoped
Finally, the day came
The professor said, "If there is anyone here who still believs in God, Stand up!"
The professor and the class of 300 people looked at him, shocked, as he stood up at the back of the classroom
The professor shouted, "YOU FOOL!!!"
"IF God existed, he would kee this piece of chalk from the breaking when it hit the ground!"
He proceeded to drop the chalk
but as he did, it slipped out of his fingersoff his shirt cuff, onto the pleat of his pants, downs his leg, and of his shoe
As it hit the ground, it simply rolled away UNBROKEN
The professor's jaw dropped as he stared at the chalk
HE looked up at the young man, and then ran out of the lecture hall
The young man, who had stood, proceeded to walk to the front of the room and shared his faith in Jesus for the next half hour
300 students stayed and listened as he told ofGod's love for thim and of his power through Jesus
You have 2 Choices
1. Pretend you never read this
2. Pass this along to your Christian and non-christian friends, giving them encouragement we all need every day
When you choose option 2, you have chosen to STAND UP
In light of the many jokes we tell to one another for a laugh, this is a little different
This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking....
Isn't it funny how simple it is for eople to trash God and then wonder why the world's goingto hell
Isn't it funny how we believe what the newspaers say, but question what the Bible says
Isn't it funny how everyone wants to go to heaven
provided they do not have to belive, think, say, or do anything the Bible Says? or is it Scary?
Isn't it funny how someone cansay, "I believe in God" but still follow Satan
(who, by the way, also "believes" in GOD)
Isn't it funny how you can senda thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire
but when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing
Isn't it funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace
but the public discussion of Jesus is supressed in the in school and workplace
Isn't it funny how someone can be so fired up for CHrist on Sunday
but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week?
Isn't it funny how when you go to tell someone this, you won't
because you're not sure what theybelive, or what they will think of you for telling them
Isn't it funny how i can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me?
Will YOU pass this on?
