? Story Time..Title: The Hypocrite

Monday, December 11, 2006 4:47 PM

Hey guys! Back to stories!! As usual read the passage first before you read the story!!
Jeremiah 17:9-14
The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it? "I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind to reward a man according to his conduct, according to what his deeds deserve." Like a partriddge that hatches eggs it did not lay is the man who gains riches by unjust means. When his life is half gone, they will desert him, and in the end he will prove to be a fool. A glorious throne, exaltedd from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary. O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who forsake you will be put to shame. Those who turn away from you will be written in the dust because they have forsaken the LORD, the spring of living water. Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.

Ready for the story? Ok here it goes!

The Hypocrite

"But, honey, I don't understand why you don't want to be and angel in the Christmas program."Marilyn's mom smiled proudly at her daughter as she continued, "I think you'd make a perfect angel. Just last weed your Sunday-school teacher told me what a good class member you are. Your lesson is always done, your verse is always learned, and you have a perfect attendance record. You've been such a help to me lately, too. The Lord must be pleased with you!"
Marilyn cringed at her mom's words. Mom doesn't know that I do my Sunday school lesson to earn awards. As for helping Mom lately, that was easy with Christmas just around the corner and gifts starting to pile up under the tree. Marilyn was silent, but her thoughts were loud and clear in her mind. Another thing Mom doesn't know is that I've pretended to be a Christian, but I know I'm not. It's easy to fool people, but surely God knows what a hypocrite I am! I'm sick of pretending!
As Marilyn watched her mom put an angel at the top of the Christmas tree, she decided she had to speak. "I...I'm no angel," she faltered, "and I'm not even a Christian!"
"But, Marilyn...I remember the day when you asked Jesus to come into your heart," Mom protested.
"But I didn't mean it," Marilyn confessed. "I just did it because I knew you wanted me to, and because...because it was just before my birthday. I wanted you to be so pleased with me that you'd get me a bike." Mom was speechless, and Marilyn hid her face in her hands. "I'm so ashamed and miserable," she cried. "I wish I could really be saved. Do you think Jesus would still save me, Mom?"
"Of course he will," Mom answered. "Let's talk to him about it now."

Psalm 23
A psalm of David.
The LORD is my shepherd, I shall not be in want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,

he restores my soul.
He guides me in paths of righteousness
for his name's sake.

Even though I walk
through the valley of the shadow of death,
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.

Surely goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD
forever.
