A Christian once visited a farmer to talk to him about
Christ. "I wouldn't come
to church up there." the farmer said. "I know old so
and so church goer who
claims to be a Christian and So and So who attends
church there who claims to
be a Christian and they don't live any differently
from me. I'm as good as they
are."
Everywhere the farmer went he told about the
hypocrites in that Church. Months
passed and the Christian brother went to see the
farmer again.
"I want to buy a hog", said the Christian. The farmer
showed all his best hogs
to him. Then they came to the runt. "I believe I will
take that one" the,
Christian said. BUT you don't want that one. He's the
worst runt to the litter.
"I sure do" said the Christian. So they loaded the
runt in the truck. "Now,"
said the Christian "what if I take this pig here from
your farm and ride all
over this area telling folks that this is the kind of
hogs you raise?"
"That's not fair!" the farmer exclaimed. "I have some
nice hogs and you want to
show people that runt?!"
To which the Christian replied, "If it's fair for the
church it's fair for the
hogs!"
