As the preacher was greeting people at the door after service, he saw an infrequent attender approach. Taking the man’s hand, the preacher said to him, “You need to join the Army of the Lord!”

My friend replied, “I’m already in the Army of the Lord, Preacher.”

The preacher questioned, “Then why don’t I see you any time except for Christmas
and Easter?”

The man whispered back, “I’m in the secret service.”

Spiritual Multiplication

Unfortunately most Christians are sterile. That is to say they never reproduce themselves, when God has clearly commanded us to make disciples not just decisions.

Next time you swat a housefly, remember the importance of spiritual reproduction.
