My Pastor recently received a call from the IRS...

IRS: "Hello, is this the Church?"

Pastor: "It is."

IRS: "This is the IRS. We need to verify some tax information submitted by one of your members. Can you help us?"

Pastor: "I think I can, what's your question?"

IRS: "Do you know a Ted Hooligan?"

Pastor: "I do."

IRS: "Is he a member of your congregation?"

Pastor: "Yes."

"Did he donate $10,000?"

(pause)

Pastor: "He will."

Are you a child of God? Do your actions show it? If not, then there is only one other possibility...

Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. -John 8:44
