Several years ago, a preacher from out-of-state accepted a call to a church in Houston, Texas. Some weeks after he arrived, he had an occasion to ride the bus from his home to the downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally given him a quarter too much change.. As he considered what to  do, he thought to himself, 'You'd better give the quarter  back. It would be wrong to keep it.' Then he thought,  'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry   about this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.' 

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here,you gave me too much change ..'

The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new preacher in town?'  

'Yes' he replied.

'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere to worship. I just wanted to see what you  would do if I gave you too much change.  I'll see you  at church on Sunday.'

When the preacher stepped off of  the bus, he literally  grabbed the nearest light pole, held on, and said, 'Oh God, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'

Our lives are the only Bible some people will ever read.  This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Christians, and will put us to the test!

Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name of Christ on your shoulders when you call yourself  'Christian.'

I'm glad a friend forwarded this to me as a  reminder.  So, I choose to forward it to you - my friend.

God bless you.

If you don't pas this on to anybody, nothing  bad will happen; but, if you do, you will have ministered to  someone  today.
