Two pastors were talking and they got to talking about the Second Coming of our Lord God and Savior. One said to the other, "I am absolutely convinced that if Jesus Christ were to come right now, my church would be the very first people to go up to meet Him in their air."
The other pastor was a bit confused by this and questioned him on why he would think such a thing.
Well, said the other pastor, the Bible says that "the dead in Christ will rise first." That's my church so that is why I'm sure we'll rise first.

While some may see this as a little irreverent, it is not meant to be. In fact, it's an opening to a question. We Christians are the Church and are we alive, lukewarm or dead? If one of us fails, we all fail. Are we supporting, encouraging and helping our brothers in sisters in Christ? We need to be pray each one for another without ceasing. If we belong to a church group, and we see someone in need, get up and DO SOMETHING. If we have time to be on the internet sending out pretty pictures or doing what I am right now, we have time to physically get up and go help a struggling fellow Christian. We are one in Christ Jesus and it's time we start doing instead of talking all the time. This world is going to hell and we are keeping quiet. It's time to roar like a lion!
