Me:\u00a0 Those blueberries look great!<\/p>\n

Prodigal:\u00a0 They are straight from the bush.<\/p>\n

Me:\u00a0 I will just have to sneak a handful then.<\/p>\n

This is from the book Sunrays of Help by Dr. Albert Garner<\/p>\n

An infidel speaker finished an argument against Christianity and Salvation, then told the audience that if anyone cared to argue the point, he’d like for him to come to the platform.\u00a0 A grey-haired old man slowly arose, walked to the platform and sat down on a bench.<\/p>\n

“Now, just what is your argument”\u00a0 the infidel asked.<\/p>\n

The elderly man didn’t speak….He simply took an orange from his pocket, held it up, peeled it, and began to eat it, much to the wonderment of all….When he had finished eating the orange, he looked the infidel straight in the eye and asked:<\/p>\n

“How did the orange taste which I just ate?”\u00a0 “Why, I don’t know, I didn’t taste it, how could I know?” the infidel replied.<\/p>\n

“Exactly” said the old man, “You don’t know because you haven’ t tasted it, and it is the same about salvation and the Lord.\u00a0 You don’t know what you are talking about, because you don’t know the Lord and you have never tasted of his salvation!!<\/p>\n

With SIMPLE FAITH and SIMPLE WORDS, the infidel was convicted.<\/p>\n

So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord:\u00a0 but let them that love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might.<\/p>\n

Judges 5:31<\/p>\n
