group of atheists were criticizing the
Bible. One of them spoke about
Acreation. He said, "What man with any
common sense could believe that several
thousand years ago, God stooped down and
picked up a piece of mud, breathed on it, and
changed it into a human being?"
A Christian standing by overheard the
conversation and responded by saying: "I
cannot answer all the questions about
creation, but this I know: One night God
stooped down and picked up the dirtiest piece
of mud in this city, breathed upon it by His Holy
Spirit, and changed a gambling, thieving,
drinking wretch into a peace-loving man of
God. I was that man." - Selected

An unbeliever once ridiculed the power of the
Gospel of Jesus Christ by saying, "If Jesus
Christ is able to save to the uttermost, why is it
that there are so many unbelievers?"
The Christian to whom he was speaking
stopped a very dirty little boy who was passing
by and turning to the unbeliever said, "Can you
blame soap and water for the filth of this boy?"
Salvation is available to all, but only those who
accept it experience its regenerating power.
