Suffering

[TheBlade]

Hi I saw unknown so thought .. why not try to find out who said it.. and found .. they said from Rose Street.. the people there that took back their community from people like drug dealers and this is more of funny how.. not saying I agree yet can really hit home. 

• Funny how we call God our Father and Jesus our Friend, but find it hard to introduce them to our family.
• Funny how much difficulty some have learning the gospel well enough to tell others, but how simple it is to understand and explain the latest gossip about someone else.
• Funny how a $20.00 bill looks so big when you take it to church, but so small when you take it to the mall.
• Funny how big an hour serving God looks and how small 60 minutes are when spent watching television, playing sports, sleeping or taking a lunch break.
• Funny how long a couple of hours spent at Church Is but how short they are when watching a good movie.
• Funny how we get thrilled when a football game goes into overtime, but we complain when a sermon is longer than the regular time.
• Funny how laborious it is to read a chapter in the Bible and how easy it is to read 200-300 pages of a best selling novel.
• Funny how we believe what newspapers say, but question what the Bible says.
• Funny how people scramble to get a front seat at a concert, but scramble to get a back seat at the church service.
• Funny how we cannot fit a gospel meeting into our schedule with our yearly planner but we can schedule for other events at a moment's notice.
• Funny how we look forward to that big date on Friday night, but complain about getting up for church on Sunday morning.
• Funny how we are rarely late to work, but always late to church.
• Funny how small our sins seem, but how big their sins are.
• Funny how we demand justice for others, but expect mercy from God.
• Funny how we can't think of anything to say when we pray, but don't have any difficulty thinking of things to talk about to a friend.
• Funny how we are so quick to take directions from a total stranger when we are lost, but are hesitant to take God's direction for our lives.
• Funny how so many church goers sing "Standing on The Promises" but all they do is sit on the premises.
• Funny how people want God to answer their prayers, but refuse to listen to His Counsel.
• Funny how we sing about heaven, but live only for today.
• Funny how people think they are going to Heaven but don't think there is a hell.
• Funny how it is okay to blame God for evil and suffering in the world, but it is not necessary to thank Him for what is good and pleasant.
• Funny how when something goes wrong, we cry, "Lord, why me?" but when something goes right, we think, "Hey, it must be me!"

Wow! Thank you for your research. I will save these "Funny how..." statement for future use.

Hi Blade. Where did you get this? I've seen where a lot of church pastors used this as part of their sermons. "I saw unknown", Does this mean the author is unknown? Seems to me it would make a good song. I would like to know who wrote it to give credit where credit is due if possible...
