Being Spiritually Awake The story is told of a man who was notorious for going to sleep in church. He was 6 feet and 8 inches tall and he weighed 280 pounds. His wife was so embarrassed by the matter because he would snore so loudly that he could be heard all over the church. One day, a friend said, why don’t you take some Limburger cheese put it in some aluminum foil, and when he goes to sleep, just smear it on his upper lip. So that faithful day came, he went to sleep and she pulled out the aluminum foil with the cheese and spreads it on his lips. When he got a smell he stood up, all 280 pounds and shouted, Mabel would you please get your feet off my pillow. Some funny things can happen when you fall to sleep. But it is a very serious matter to be spiritually asleep. "And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed." Rom 13:11 (NKJV) |
