The Sin Of Lying


Just as he was rapping up his day's sermon, the pastor gave his congregation a homework. "Next week I'll be preaching about the sin of lying. For you to have a clear understanding of the sermon, please read Mark 17 once you are at home." The congregation unanimously agreed.

The following Sunday, as he was starting to deliver his promised sermon, the man of God asked all those who managed to read Mark 17 to raise up their hands. He wanted to know how many had read the chapter.

All hands were up.

The pastor replied with beaming smile but in disappointment at the same time, "Mark has only 16 chapters. I will now carry on with my sermon on the sin of lying."

She thought that was just an isolated incident, she climbed on the bed again. So violently, another train passed and shook the room again. She found herself on the floor. Trembling with extreme fear, she called the receptionist and asked for the manager. The manager promised to be coming. The manager pitched up and the woman narrated her story. The manager was in disbelief but the woman insisted that the story was not a joke. "Listen, lie here on the bed - you'll be thrown right to the floor!" The manager did just that. He lied next to her.
