My associate Zach and I discussed the phenomenon of e-mail forwards the other day. Where do they come from? Who is the person that first says, “I think I’ll forward this insane thing I’ve created to all my acquaintances?” You rarely see an author taking credit for a popular forward either. It seems like a mostly mom and pop operation, so we thought we could become famous by writing a bunch of forwards and signing them. We would be the Wal-mart of forwards.

Anyways, where I’m going with this, is that the following e-mail forward could be made by an imitator. The reason I say that is because parts of it seem recycled and because the e-mail makes God look kind of like a jerk. Of course neither of those is that rare with these letters, so who’s to say?

P.S. This e-mail horribly abuses the ellipsis and the carriage return.

Let me tell you, make sure you read all the way to the bottom. I almost deleted this email but I was blessed when I got to the end.

Subject: READ ONLY IF YOU HAVE TIME FOR GOD

God, when I received this e-mail, I thought…

I don’t have time for this… And, this is really inappropriate during work.

Then, I realized that this kind of thinking is… Exactly, what has caused lot of the problems in our world today.

We try to keep God in church on Sunday morning…

Maybe, Sunday night…

And, the unlikely event of a midweek service.

We do like to have Him around during sickness…

And, of course, at funerals.

However, we don’t have time, or room, for Him during work or play…

Because…. That’s the part of our lives we think… We can, and should, handle on our own.

May God forgive me for ever thinking…

That… there is a time or place where…..

HE is not to be FIRST in my life.

We should always have time to remember all HE has done for us.

If, You aren’t ashamed to do this…

Please follow the directions.

Jesus said, “If you are ashamed of me, I will be ashamed of you before my Father.”

Not ashamed?

Pass this on ONLY IF YOU MEAN IT!!

Yes, I do Love God.

HE is my source of existence and Savior.

He keeps me functioning each and every day. Without Him, I will be nothing. Without Him, I am nothing. But, with Christ, HE strengthens me. (Phil 4:13)

This is the simplest test…

If You Love God… And, are not ashamed of all the marvelous things HE has done for you…

Send this to ten people and the person who sent it to you!

I don’t think I know 10 people who would admit they love Jesus. Do You love Him?

THE POEM

I knelt to pray but not for long, I had too much to do.
I had to hurry and get to work, for bills would soon be due.
So I knelt and said a hurried prayer,
And jumped up off my knees.
My Christian duty was now done
My soul could rest at ease.

All day long I had no time
To spread a word of cheer.
No time to speak of Christ to friends,
They’d laugh at me I’d fear.
No time, no time, too much to do,
That was my constant cry,
No time to give to souls in need
But at last the time, the time to die.

I went before the Lord, I came, I stood with downcast eyes.
For in his hands God held a book;
It was the book of life.

God looked into his book and said
“Your name I cannot find.
I once was going to write it down…
But never found the time”

Now do you have the time to pass it on?

Make sure that you scroll through to the end.

Easy vs. Hard

• Why is it so hard to tell the truth but Yet so easy to tell a lie?


• Why are we so sleepy in church but Right when the sermon is over we suddenly wake up?


• Why is it so hard to talk about God but yet so easy to talk about nasty stuff?


• Why is it so boring to look at a Christian magazine, but yet so easy to look at a nasty one?


• Why is it so easy to delete a Godly e-mail, but yet we forward all of the nasty ones?


• Why are the churches getting smaller but yet the bars and dance clubs are getting larger?

Do you give up? Think about it.

Are you going to forward this, or delete it?

Just remember-God is watching you.

Prayer Wheel- Let’s see the devil stop this one!

Here’s what the wheel is all about.
When you receive this, say a prayer for the person that sent it to you….

Prayer is the very best one….

There are no costs, but wonderful rewards…

GOD BLESS!

May God keep you and bless you. If this doesn’t give you chills, nothing will! ..this message is very true. Hope you are all as blessed as I was from this. I wonder how many people will delete this without reading it because of the title on it?

My favorite part is where God disses the sinner: “Your name I cannot find. I once was going to write it down… But never found the time.” Yeah, eternal damnation for being too busy! Also, did you know that the simplest test of whether you love God is if you send an e-mail to ten people?
