The Congregation

[Guest guest]

A minister told his congregation, "Next week I plan to preach about the sin

of

lying.

 

To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17."

 

The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the minister

asked

for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17.

 

Every hand went up. The minister smiled and said,

 

"Mark has only 16 chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of

lying."
